[Q] Phone stuck in bootloop, can't flashboot anything. Suggestions? - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Ahh my phone has had quite the past week on this CM12 Android 5.0 ROM...
I was just listening to music and checking social media on my phone when bam, it turns off.
I held the power button and it didn't turn on the first few times.
Then finally, it boots, but it won't get past the splash screen.
It's stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into the recovery. I can't factory reset it either.
I tried to go to fastboot and flash the recovery again, but my computer doesn't recognize my phone.
I have adb, fastboot, and all of the correct drivers installed and it won't do anything.
I tried flashing with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but it just said "<waiting for device>" even though my phone was connected and in fastboot mode.
I don't know what to do. I can't boot it, I can't get into recovery, I can't factory reset it, and I can't fastboot anything.
What should I do? Please I am open to ANY suggestions at this point. I can't deal with this constantly not having a phone crap.
Thanks, it'll be much appreciated.
Extra Info:
Device manager lists my phone as this: "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)"
Every time I go into fastboot, my computer displays this message: "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it"

Make sure you aren't connected via usb to your computer when you attempt to force a reboot. It should be vol up and power until it reboots and then switch to vol down to enter hboot.

I can get into hboot and all that just fine. The phone won't boot, and I can't get into recovery is my problem. Oh and the fact that the computer doesn't recognize my phone in fastboot

Update: I just whipped out a really old computer running Windows XP and I installed the platform-tools and HTC One drivers on it. I hooked the phone up to the computer, and the drivers worked. I flashed TWRP and it flashed successfully according to fastboot, but it won't go into recovery still. What should I do now? I know I can RUU somehow (I'm not really sure how though), but I want to try and avoid that, if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks people!
EDIT: NVM it actually booted! What a success! This stuff is crazy!

One X Won't Turn On

Hey guys, I was flashing a rom on my One x but for some reason it got stuck in a bootloop. After that, I tried restoring to my earlier rom using CWM but I forgot to flash the boot.img from cmd first so it didn't work. After that I tried restarting my phone but it wouldn't turn on after turning off. When I plug in my charger the red light comes up but I can't turn it on. I left it to charge for a few hours but it still won't turn on, the only sign of it working is that it vibrates when I attempt to turn it on. I also tried connecting it to my pc and it senses it but I get no results when I type adb devices in cmd. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thanks!
What can you see in windows device management? Does
Code:
fastboot devices
give you any info?
No, nothing, but when I connect to pc it says installing device software
Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that it did turn on before and I got into the bootloader but then it turned off again
I mean the device management in the control panel. It should be there if it says something about drivers.
It says MTP USB Device
What ROM are you on?
I was attempting to flash Blade rom when it got stuck in bootloop
MTP should be only available when the phone is booted. I really don't know what is the problem here, sorry.
Ok, Thanks anyway
I just restarted my pc and after running cmd and entering adb devices I get: SH24KW107359 recovery. But the phone is still off. Any ideas?
If the phone vibrates and your computer sees it like MTP that it might be a hardware failure. Contact HTC for further assistance, or try search the forum. I am sure many faced the same problem, and some got it working finally.
I'm no longer getting MTP, it now says E:\
Wait, were you on android 4.0.4 just before you tried flashing Blade?

No, I was not. At least I don't think so. It's my sisters phone so I'm not sure. Why?
I believe that the phone is switched on, but the screen remains off. Try this:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
I tried turning it on and it turns on then it shows the HTC logo, then when I try to get into CMW it shows a dark screen but u can tell its on.
Ok, if your in cwm, from a cmd prompt run:
adb reboot bootloader
That should put you in the bootloader.
From there use fastboot to flash the kernel to boot as you should have done earlier.
When your done just:
fastboot reboot
-SLS-
When I type fastboot devices in cmd i get: SH24KW107359 fastboot. Can I flash a boot.img by using fastboot flash boot boot.img?
Yes, and also reflash cwm. Dl from clockworkmod site and flash using:
fastboot flash recovery nameofthefile.zip
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire (first gen.) computer won't recognize

I have had my Kindle Fire for over a year and I have used various ROMs. Most recently, I was using the HellFire ROM and it crashed out on me. I decided to go back to stock for a while but noticed a new version of FFF (v1.4a) so decided to install that. Now, it boots to the FFF screen but nothing else. I cannot enter the boot menu. My computer does not recognize the device (no sound from the computer recognizing that it was plugged in) with either a regular or factory USB cable (I've used the factory cable before to unbrick the device).
I have read through the other posts regarding similar problems but all of those posts were resolved with either a driver problem or with a factory cable. None of the utilities or terminal commands are useful since the device is not recognized.
I have let the battery completely drain (letting it sit in a drawer while I take a break from the problem). It does recharge with the factory charger, but one thing of note is that the LED stays green during the charge. It never turns amber either on the charger or when it is connected to the computer.
Anyone have any ideas? I've been scratching my head lots over this. Many thanks for anyone willing to scratch along with me.
So have you tried Soupkit? How did you flash your bootloader?

First of all, thanks for replying and trying to help. I have tried SoupKit and the Macintosh utilities but I keep getting the same response "Your device appears to be offline."
I originally rooted the kindle by manually entering adb commands. I installed the bootloader with KFU.
Is the bootloader splash static or does it blink on and off? Are you able to accces the boot menu to reset bootmode or enter recovery or select normal boot?

The bootloader splash is static. I am unable to access the boot menu at all.
I have been playing with the "short the point" install TWRP over USB but to no avail. I get "waiting for OMAP44xx device" and that's all.

[Q] Can't boot flashmode or flashboot mode

Phone with official rom , never isntalled CWM or any unofficial stuff. It boots ok to standard mode but not any other mode. I have tried in two different pcs with Windows XP and Windows 8. Phone doesn't even seem to try to boot in those modes, is not like the PC isn't detecting it.
I'm totally lost on how to recover the flashmode functionality to be able to unlck bootloader and install CM, any help will be welcome.

You must be doing something wrong.
Flashmode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Back button, connect USB cable to the phone. Green LED should light up, then phone is in flashmode.
Fastboot mode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu/Option button, connect USB cable to the phone. Blue LED should light up, then phone is in fastboot mode.
Nah, it didn't worked. I got it to still a recovery with X-parts app. Booted to the recovery, wiped everything, did a factory restore, since that moment it won't boot at all, Sony logo and it won't power off without taking off the battery. Of course, still won't enter flashmode or flashboot.

Did you install the drivers for it? If you want to use either flashtool or fastboot you need to install these programs along with the drivers. Also, ignore the prompt by Sony PC Companion when prompted. If you can boot into ROM, check that USB debugging is enabled.

Drivers installed, USB debugging enabled, tried on two diferent computers.
I have some experience not only in flashing roms but also in rom cooking, kernel compilation, etc... and after all day I couldn't get it to go to flashmode. My girlfriend -she is the owner of the phone- remembered me we already have problems being unabled to access flasmode when she bought the phone and wanted to update it with sony software, so I finally took it to the shop so they can send it to repair service.
Thanks guys for your prompt replies.

[Q] RUU error 170: usb connection error

My phone's screen was broken, I could only use my phone with some tools like screenshot. Today before I was about to repair the phone, I wiped all the things (including system, I don't know what I was thinking about, I thought I was doing a factory reset) in TWRP recovery. So now the thing is tricky. I cannot boot my phone, and I don't know what is going on there because the screen is broken. I connected my phone to PC, and after typing "adb devices", I saw that device was offline(but at least there was a device listed, though it was offline instead of attched).
So I cannot use adb, I tried 4.4.3 stock RUU, but it said that "ERROR 170 USB CONNECTION ERROR". I've installed HTC Sync Manager, it couldn't detect my phone, either.
I cannot enter the recovery, either. I don't know what to do now. Wonder if anybody here could help me. Any help appreciated.:crying:

Finally it worked, I kept pressing volume up and power button to reboot to fastboot, then pressed volume down and power in order to recovery, now RUU worked just fine. Cheers!

Arc S stuck on Legacy Xperia boot logo

Hey guys, so my Xperia Z's screen broke and the touch is unresponsive, so I took out my old Arc S out of the box and decided to boot it up, apparently I had gotten a new phone because this one had a booting problem.
Things I know:
It's been rooted, bootloader is unlocked, current ROM is Legacy Xperia, can't go into CWM recovery, connecting phone to PC and trying to flash new kernel won't work because flashtool doesn't recognize the device.
In device manager the phone comes up as an unknown device, downloaded the drivers from Sony's site, no luck, get error message saying "this file is not compatible with your version of Windows" or something.
I'm on W10 64bit.
So basically I'm kinda stuck, tried Google and other forums and nothing, I can't seem to get anywhere.
Could you guys help me out?
EDIT: Tried installing Android Studio, launching cmd from /appdata/roaming/android/sdk/platform-tools but when I enter the command line it says "waiting for device".
So I'm thinking this has to do with my PC not detecting my phone in fastboot mode or anyother mode.
This seems like a corrupted /system partition. First off, try another cable. Your current one might not be working (happened to me, kept reporting that it "did not recognize the device"). If that does not work, let's start with the basic troubleshooting steps. Does your phone boot info fastboot (turn off your phone, disconnect USB cable, hold menu button, reconnect USB while holding)? If it does, run "fastboot erase system" (I'm assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed and fastboot.exe in the working directory), and try booting into the recovery.
If not, let's try flashmode (turn off phone, disconnect USB, hold back button, reconnect while holding). If that works, just start up Flashtool (Download), wait for it to do its thing (sync), download the latest 4.1.B.0.587 ICS .ftf file from here. Once done, exit Flashtool, and go to the "drivers" folder. Install the flashmode drivers. Go back to Flashtool now.
In Flashtool, click the flash icon in the top-right of the program, and on the top you will find the working directory. Click the button on the right to it and select the directory where you downloaded the .ftf file. A new entry will show up in the menu on the left side. Click on it. Flashtool will prepare the file for flashing and instruct you how to connect your phone in flashmode. Be patient, this process may take a while. Once done (Flashtool will tell you), disconnect the phone, take the battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in, and then boot up the phone. The "SONY" logo should show up, followed by the "XPERIA" logo.
Set your phone up, and have fun flashing!
P.S. If you have any problems with your PC not recognizing your device while in USB Debugging (ADB says no devices), this worked for me.

Hey man thank you so much for replying to the thread.
So I feel like a dumbass, multiple times I've read about changing cables, guess what, that's all it took.
So basically I changed the cable and instead of "unrecognized device" I got "S1 fastboot device", after that I installed the adb drivers for the Xperia Arc and voilà, it recognized as an adb device.
Onto platform-tools folder, cmd, flashed the kernel for Cyanogen 10, finally got into recovery and now after a full system wipe I'm flashing CM.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks a bunch!
