Develop Bugs

So, anyone up for a really big problem?

Hello all,
I am going to make one last try to see if there is anything i can do with my hard bricked z.
Flashed with wrong Hboot a couple of months ago.
When i press volume up + power the phone vibrates a few times and then blinks orange.
When i press volume up and down + power the phone vibrates a few times and then its solid green.
In both occations, connecting it to the computer it asks for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM drivers. In unitmanager or what its called it says the above driver name and i rightclick and choose update driver then i can select Android Phone. After that i have several choices:
Android ADB Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Composite ADB Interface
I can install and connect phone with the above drivers but none of them works. ADB Shell commands cannot find the phone, HTC sync cannot find the phone. RUU Vision stock program reset cannot find the phone.
Volume down + power doesnt work, wish it would.
Screwed right?
Thanks!
Björn

Press and hold volume down and then press the power button one time while still holding the volume down button.
See if that works.

Have you tried fastbooting by pressing the trackpad and power key?

Look it up...fastboot usually puts the phone in different mode that loads diff drivers when plugged in. You can then load system images directly. This is similar then flashing from adb but without the need for full ad drivers. It does not work on every version of every phone as it needs driver support.

Try your local phone store. If they have JTag equipment they will flash a stock hboot and rom for a small charge. My store JTag flashed my old wildfire for £15.
JTag connects directly to the motherboard and flashed the rom directly.

from your description it seems that you're screwed, have you tried taking it to HTC repair center ?

Can't boot into HBOOT

I haven't done this for a while but used to do this 100s of times.
I have a stock HTC rom installed without root. It is an experimental version of 2.3 that was never released.
I'm holding down the volume down button and pressing power. When I release the power button it boots normally into standard home screen.
I tried with the back button and the same thing happens.
Has anyone ran across the same problem?
Is there anyway I can boot into HBOOT without the volume down button and no root? Any apps which might help me to do that?
Thanks

afaik you press and HOLD those two buttons until the phone goes on.

Your volume down might have become faulty.
To go to fast boot mode press and hold "back key" while power up. From there press power key once more to go into hboot mode.
Regards

I think the volume down button works because when the phone is on i can control the call volume using this button. I also tried the back key to boot into fast boot but that doesn't work.
I hold the two buttons indefinitely. It's only when I release the power buttons that the phone starts booting but always boots into normal mode.
Any other ideas? thanks.

Lol try hold volume up + power

Awww damn!
I guess the only other thing I could try is to flash a different RUU.
Does anyone have a link to the stock Froyo RUU? Would flashing it over a stock GB rom work or wuold it complain that the HBOOT version is different?

Press n "hold" back, press (wait 2 second) and "release" power. Simple. You can't do it wrong. Try again please.

I am really not an idiot.
1) Press and hold power and 'back' at the same time
2) Waiting waiting waiting.... 5 - 10 seconds, nothing happens, black scren
3) Release power while still holding 'back'
4) Same thing happens with volume down and volume up

I want to install an ICS Rom. So I need to root.
To root I need to install the custom HBOOT drivers otherwise unrevoked doesn't pick up the device.
In order to install the custom HBOOT drivers I need to be in HBOOT with USB connected. Is there any other way?

K, does ur volume buttons work when phone is booted? If so, turn off the phone then pull the battery out for 10- 15 seconds then put back in, then press and hold volume down and press power button (while holding vol down) it should boot bootloader
Also make sure in
settings/power
That fast boot is not checked (if u got that option)

Wicked! Thanks!
Removing the battery made the difference. It seems that I have to remove the battery every time after power down or when I powers up it skips HBOOT. Nonetheless it works!

How to clear cache partition from stock recovery (non-rooted phone)

1) Power off phone (be sure to turn off fast reboot in settings first). 2) Boot into recovery by holding volume down key and then holding power key until boot menu appears. 3) Volume down to RECOVERY and tap power key to select. 4) HTC logo appears followed by blank, dim screen. Briefly tap all three simultaneously: power key, volume up and down keys, and release immediately. You may have to do this step a few times to get the timing right. 5) Black screen appears and SD card error message scrolls. After about 5-10 seconds, recovery menu appears (all in very small font). Volume-down to "wipe cache partition" at bottom of list and tap power key. Cache gets cleared. Then select "reboot system now" by tapping power key again (this choice highlighted). Done!
Device will now be a little snappier and some quirky behavior that sometimes develops is fixed. May want to do this every month or so to keep things running better, or if device behaving strangely and you want to try a quick fix that may work.

After step 4 I only got after a few seconds of a back dim screen a screen with a picture of the HTC One and a overlay at it with a red triangle and red exclamation mark. After about 20 seconds seeing that the telephone reboots.
May I press the 3 buttons more times or only once? Wasn't my timing right?

This doesn't seem to work after the 5.1.1 update.
I didn't try it before, but neither the 3 button press or Vol-Up + Power button combination work to get into clear cache.

[Q] HTC One M8 (3 UK) Bricked / Black Screen

Hey,
I've managed to balls up my phone, think I used a backup that didn't work properly.
I've basically got this issue:
I can't post the video that shows this issue exactly but on youtube the title is
"HTC ONE M8 (International Version) Black Screen | Vibrating by holding the Powerbutton"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't get into recovery mode by using Power + VolDown or using the AIO program.
The phone does show up in Device Manager but not in fastboot commands or in Windows Explorer.
What're my options from this point?
UPDATE:
It randomly turned on and now it's stuck on the 'htc ONE' screen and not turning off/on.

If I hold the Power + VolUp down it does restart, but then goes to black (it looks like the screen is on but displaying nothing) and then nothing.

Would a USB download jig work for an HTC? If so then they are cheap and available on the web. Easy to build too.

**Try and try again to connect the phone to the PC on one occasion, the display has flashed 3 times and for a split second it appeared the inscription HTC.
---- List of tests done:
*I tried to hold down the power button for several seconds (10 to 40).

You never stated what happened to get your device in the state it is and i'm just assuming you did something to brick it, so here
So firstly you need to get the drivers for your device installed.
my advice download WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.1. It will allow you to easily know if your pc is recognising your device.
Once that is done you need to get your device changed sufficiently.
Go to http://www.hackmyandroid.com/comprehensive-guide-on-unbricking-the-htc-one-x/4216 and follow the instructions.
Charge HTC One X in Fastboot Mode section from the link should help you charge your device
With the ADB folder where it should be on your computer C drive and your device plugged in and recognized, charging shouldn't be a issue
this should cause your device to restart repeatedly until it reaches about 10% battery
I advice once you have completed the charging of your device to the 10% mark that you continue on to the Unbrick the HTC One X as well as the Restoring the nandroid backup sections. You can always install a custom rom like CM11 or a sense based rom instead of doing restoring a nandroid backup
Hopefully your device will be up and running
Goodluck and let me know how it went.
