[SOLVED] Firmware Flash left phone on White HTC Logo - HTC One X

So. I wanted to upgrade the HBOOT to try CM 10.1 but ran into problems.
As recommended on one of the posts, I followed this guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1avesz4l8fcnkku/Tutorial_hboot_upgrade.pdf and got my firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 - my CID as reported by readcid was HTC__001
Step 14 went fine. Then I rebooted.
Now I have the white HTC logo. Power + Vol Up gives me nothing.
Any and all ideas welcome and very gratefully received.

Longpress power + vol up (20 sec) and enter in fasboot.
Now, see if your hboot if is right and unlock your boorloader, flash a custom recovery (i reccomanded TWRP) and copy cm10.1 into sd with the mount usb.
When installation finished, return in recovery home and use: "adb reboot bootloader" for enter in booloader and flash the boot.img of rom

Thanks for the quick reply.
I can't seem to get into fastboot. When I hold Power + Vol Up, it reboots again. Holding for 20s gives me 3s of HTC, followed by a reboot (so screen blank for 2s) and repeat.

i think if you can't enter in fastboot you have to open your hox and remove the battery...

LOL, you're right!
My mistake!
Sorry

Thanks both! Shame I can only click the Thanks button once!
I've never had such a squeaky-bum time with any phone, and all down to pushing the wrong button!
Fastboot is back, TWRP installed and CM 10.1 B3 installed.
That's much better than paying for a repair, not to mention getting in trouble with the missus for recklessly ruining my phone!

downgrade: dead volume up

It's in the title, my volume up button is dead.
I unfortunately need the volume up to flash the recovery in the boot loader and downgrade to a rootable rom.
Any idea how to do this?
Many thanks!

You can flash a signed ruu through fastboot from a pc.
thanks... Any link, I need to learn... Btw the phone is not rooted, hence the downgrade
Check out this link for the right ruu you want to use.
http://www.filecrop.com/ace-ruu-htc.html
Install HTC sync on pc. Boot phone into hboot and select fastboot then plug in phone and run ruu.
You don't need volume up
In bootloader just use the 4 keys bellow the screen:
The two first ones are up/down, back is back, the last one is validate.
Or, never use volume up but volume down to choose the option you want... (when you reach the last line it goes back to the first one).
... in fact I'm not sure to understand your problem...
If you were talking about vol down to enter boot loader, then restart to boot loader from your phone or use 'adb reboot bootloader'.
BIG SORRY: I read again... it's not rooted... just forget my answer

Recovery Not Working? Phone Reboots Instead?

Hi,
I had a problem with my HTC One X after rooting and installing a custom rom.
Problem:
Attempt to reboot device into recovery mode (Clockwork)
Phone Turns off and begins restart
HTC logo and then vibration and the logo again and the device started normally without booting into recovery!
After hours of playing around and re-flashing recoveries and trying different recoveries the actual solution was very simple!
SOLUTION:
ENTER FASTBOOT MODE (hold vol down and power button and wait for white screen with colored text, then select fastboot with the vol keys and the power button)
ON PC:
run cmd
"cd c:/XXXXX" XXXXX is the location of your fastboot ADB folder
"fastboot erase cache"
.........
........
THEN once back in hboot i could access the CWM Recovery no problems and install my new ROM!!
if this helps anybody at all, please let me know

i tried to erase cache it says command not allowed
I don't know huawei phones ! Don't know if it matches or not. Its clear that its def not a HTC one x ! Did anyone ever confirmed this working on a Huawei phone anyway ?
And a command not allowed indicates something is not unlocked, that error report on a genuine hox is because the bootloader is locked.

HTC one x bricked need help...

I just flashed a arhd rom a kernel and InfinitySound mod and then my phone was stuck in the htc quietly brilliant screen...
The main thing is i can't even enter the bootloader with "vol+power down" help please...
Keep pressing the power button for more then 5 second and you will see the 3 buttons blinking. After that phone will restart and then press volume down to enter in hboot.
Then look on xda a tool with witch you will flash a stock kernel.
Perhaps this is the solution for you

Hold the power button to force a reboot. As soon as your HOX powers off press and hold vol down, keep holding until you enter hboot. It might take a few attempts

Does your phone keeps rebooting?
If so, it sounds like you haven't flashed the correct boot.IMG
You need to flash the correct boot.IMG that is for the kernel you flashed.
-----
As for boot loader, why don't you just use the adb command?
adb reboot bootloader
As for the button combination not working, you need to hold both power & volume down at the 'exact same time', and don't release them until your boot loader screen shows - even if it does an extra reboot, keep them held!

I am having the same problem, and i forgot to backup my previous rom. I rooted, and unlocked my phone, then i tried to install the rom, it installed. however now it just stays in the spinning loading sign for CM10. Is there anyway of putting another rom on the >fake, ie internal> sd card, which cant get removed from the acctual phone? so then i can install that rom? i have tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 you can mount the sd card as usb drive.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img that goes with the ROM.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You are probably forgetting to flash boot.img using fastboot from your pc, from your description. After flashing boot.img, issue a
Fastboot erase cache
Or you will most likely get bootloops.

When I do fastboot oem reboot, it gets me back into the device - but any normal restart after, and I'm back in the HTC logo error screen

m8 white screen
Good evening community
I think I bricked my M8. Tryed to flash a custom ROM, unrooted and installed it but didn't liked and decided to go back to stock ROM. Went to TWRP and wiped one position more than needed - data. So now my M8 booted just into white screen with HTC logo, power off doesn't work at all, hard reset combination doesn't work, power on + volume up - doesn't work. It's always on and CMD says <waiting for device>
Who can help me?
Thank you in advance
Edit: got into bootloader, thanks to Niorun post edit.

For this phone, as long as the screen comes on, its almost certainly not bricked.
Being stuck with OS not booting is a common thing when flashing ROMs. It just happens from time to time for one reason or other. Folks that freak out about this (and think their phone is bricked) need to relax and learn some basic recovery steps.

Wiping data will not make the phone get stuck on the HTC logo screen. Wiping data just erases user data. So the phone would have just booted into the OS, but with no previous user data present any longer. Failure to boot was for some other reason.

Power + Vol Up reboots the phone, this should always function as long as the screen comes on.
Power + Vol Down to boot into bootloader similarly should always work as long as the screen comes on. Failure to do so is almost always a matter of user error, not performing the button combo correctly (either not pressing vol down fast enough, or letting go of it too early).

Try it this way:
1) Reboot the phone using Power+Vol Up
2) The moment the screen goes dark to reboot and before the white HTC logo screen appears, let go of the buttons, and hold the Vol down button. Do not let go of vol down until you see the bootloader screen
3) If the bootloader doesn't appear, you either started pressing Vol Down too late, or let go of it too early. Just do the steps again until you get it right.
Clarification
I have to anticipate when the screen is going go from black to showing the white HTC logo? Then do vol down then?
htc m8 brick
i too am having issues with a bricked htc 0ne m8. We purchased the phone as-is really cheap. its freezes while booting up. i can get into fastboot and recovery just fine. i have been successful in installing ruu files but the ruu file doesn't fix the "boot loop" freeze at startup issue. The device is s-on still which sucks because i can't find a method of achieving s-off in fastboot mode. i was able to unlock the bootloader, hoping that it would help and now the ruu files won't work anyone. now i can't get the bootloader to lock through the method that htcdev.com tells me to use. ive also tried to install update through adb sideload through recovery without success.
so i have a s-on, unlocked bootloader htc m8 that i still can't get it to boot up.
any help would be appreciated.

I just timed it (in my head, not with a stopwatch), and you have about 3 seconds while the screen is black, before the HTC logo screen appears. Plenty of time to let go of the power and vol up buttons, and hold the vol down button.
The reason I say "the moment the screen goes dark" is that some folk wait too long, and start pressing vol down when the HTC logo screen is already up. By then, its too late.

What RUUs did you try?
Don't know what method HTCDev says to relock the bootloader, but as long as you can still get into fastboot mode, its simply the command: fastboot oem lock
Also, there is no other currently working s-off method aside from sunshine (which requires booting into OS) so you can stop looking for one.

Well, you say you can't get in the bootloader or recovery, have you tried to hold down the power button and volume up button, and then when the screen goes off switch to power and volume down? That should take you to your bootloader! If you can get there I would guess you would have a backup in recovery

Do you realize you are responding to old posts, the most recent of which is over 3 months old?
You also responded to my post, as if I was having an issue. I was the one giving help/advice.

It doesn't. The tool is very outdated, and I typically (virtually always) recommend against using it for that reason. The toolkit uses the old firewater s-off method, which hasn't worked since December 2014.
When I said there is no other working s-off method besides sunshine (and to stop looking for one), it was a statement of fact, not a guess.
I need some help, I have a m8 rooted and to make an update from htc (I have te stock rom) I have flash de stock recovery (te old one was the twrp) but now after the update de phone is stuck in the htc logo, I can enter in the fastboot but I dont know what to do and what direction I should take
Follow my steps if your phone is not booting up.
1. Lock bootloader if you have unlocked bootloader.
2. Download HTC One M8 4.16.401.10 Stock Lollipop RUU [0P6BIMG] ( search google because I can not post link since I am new forum member).
3. Rename the downloaded RUU to 0P6BIMG and send the zip file to your phone SD Card.
3.Reboot your phone in to the bootloader mode by powering off the phone and rebooting with Power button and volume down or use fastboot mode command : adb reboot-bootloader.
-This way our phone will automatically detect the RUU file that you pasted in SD card (step 3) and flash it.
Your HTC One M8 is alive

The advice given here is good, except it assumes too many things. There is the assumption of S-On, and of current firmware version. Also, if you are using ADB to reboot to bootloader, the user might as well fastboot flash the RUU.zip, or run the RUU.exe that is also available.
@W_KuP, Post the results of fastboot getvar all (edit out your IMEI and serial# ~ that's private info)
If you are indeed on WWE/International firmware, that RUU.zip will work for you. Download link here.
If you are S-On, you will need to relock your bootloader first. In fastboot: fastboot oem lock. If you are S-Off there is no need to relock your bootloader.

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.
first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S
so i tried to power it off without seeing by holding the power key the power option pop up and touching random parts of the screen but i failed
i even waited for the battery to empty and factory reset the phone with no use
is these is any way even by adb to power off my phone
plzzz help
thx again for replaying

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader
As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.
