Bricked phone? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Today I got my M8. I rooted it installed viper on it and S-OFF ed it.
It worked great but now when I rebooted it it hangs on HTC logo and red text this build is for dev purposes only.
I press power button (no matter for how long) but nothing happens.
Any idea?

Boot into your recovery and either wipe caches etc or sideload/flash a new ROM? - Or even Factory reset it via recovery. -- don't have an M8 myself but that's the option I'd look at for now.

Try pressing and holding power + volume up and it should reboot. If it does not do the same again and reboot into recovery and try re-flashing the rom and see if it resolves the issue for you.

Take out the battery then insert it again and try to boot it.
It will work.
It happened to me too.

He was sarcastically pointing out that you cannot remove the battery on an HTC One. You should probably know this if you're going to offer advice to someone needing help with their device.

i need more info...
1- you can enter into recovery menu?
2- which is your current clockworkmod version? be careful and don´t do partition sd with previous CWM than 3.0.2.6 you can brick your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1043160.html
waiting for that you don´t did it!!
i can't enter the recovery menu.
I don't know witch version it was. i just used the the newes relases from the leedroid page, and haven't done any changes to the preset.
So propably don't look good for me
Just to rule it out, remove the SD card then try starting the phone (turn it off first even you have to pull battery out).

Can you power on the phone?
When does the boot sequence stop?
Maybe this helps:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

sry, i have to tell you that the clockworkmod recovery has formatted your nand-partition, what means that your phone is bricked.
as far as i remember there is no way to fix this.
you had to update your clockworkmod recovery before doing anything. you should´ve read the fat stickie in the android development section.
CWM had a bug which causes bricked phones, because it doesn't partition the sdcard, but the nand memory. this means hard brick.
sry bro.
EDIT: oh^^ just saw, someone posted a link already.
So what happened when you removed the SD card from the phone and tried turning the phone on? <<-- Ignore, I didn't see the bit where you said you'd tried it. Sorry.

EI MATE!! we meet again.. LIKE THE ALL THE DAYS! LOLOL
"Always at the foot of the canion"
he said that tried it and nothing.. no results..
i think too that its a hard brick...
what are you thinking about?
sorry i´ve a poor english
Thanks Sergi, I didn't see that bit.
I agree, if you can't get to HBoot (hold down vol- and press power button) then it looks like it is bricked. But that would mean he used an older version of clockwork recovery and I don't know where it says to use an older version.
Summary: Bricked. Send away for repair. Just don't tell them what you were doing.
Can't he JTAG the unit and flash NAND that way?
How does HTC do it?

yep did that phone booted
shut phone off again with the apm and wont boot
went into cwm and fix permissions again before it will boot
so theres something missing that after you use the apm to power down the phone
the permissions are lost and have to be redone again
also instead of power down i tried the restart phone and it restarts the phone no problem
so its something with the power down causeing it not to boot untill you fix permissions again

The only thing that I have noticed as of now is that the power button no longer wakes the phone from sleep, you have to use the other buttons. WELL worth it though, great job.
PS. I cleared the caches and fixed permissions and have had no problems.

HTC ONE X bricked Rogers

Bricked my htc one x after installing slim ics for international version (endeavoru) when i had a north america one x (evita) noob mistake . so i called rogers and they said for me to take it to the rogers store and get it repaired then given back to me after 10 days. So here is the question i have a rooted one x with a unlocked bootloader, and lots of rom backups and rom files on my sd card (internal storage) so now if i take it to the rogers store can they find out that i rooted it and unlocked the bootloader? Thanks for your help i appreciate it!

First up you are in the wrong forum, secondly, you can't possibly have bricked your device, erase the cache, reinstall clockworkmod (for your device), do a factory reset (clear data), put a rom for the HTC One XL on the nand, install it, flash correct kernel. Should leave you with a fully working device assuming you do it correctly.

Alright then, be sure to hit the thanks button.
You unlocked bootloader, installed cwm, and flashed supersu.zip, correct? Everything went smoothly until then? And now your phone doesn't switch on?
Have you tried holding power, or holding power and volumedown?
Can you see a led when connecting to a charger?
How about windows device manager? Can you see anything there when plugging phone in? Plug in sound?
