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

i tried it, but no luck... it still boots into the htc quietly brilliant screen.

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

First boot can take awial I don't think your stuck its just loading

It's stuck not loading because I have waited 10 hours already. Also, I keep trying to get it into boot loader , but to no avail... tried 30 times already...
Without getting into the bootloader, there's nothing I can do...

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

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.

Can't turn off M8

I recently wiped the phone from TWRP.
Now it's stuck on the white HTC logo and I can't turn off the phone, not even by holding down the power button for a few minutes!
Any ideas what I can do?

Hold volume up and power and it'll reboot

Thanks for the help! Perfect!!

I had just updated my M8 to marshmallow yesterday, and it was working fine last night, then the whole of today it was stuck on an "android is starting screen", and I couldn't turn it off or on. Thank you sooo much!

Hi,
I have the same problem. I had HTC One M8 AT&T Unlocked International Version and I unlocked the bootloader and root it. Everything was fine until I installed Viper/Venom ROM. Before installing that ROM I created a backup of the previous ROM. I didn't check on Data and I think that on the error is on that step.
Anyway I installed Viper / Venom ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) and wasn't able to connect to WiFi. So I decided to go back to my original ROM (Kitkat 4.4.2).
Now the HTC is in a boot loop, flickering but I'm not able to select and action. I can hold the volume up and the power button and restart the phone. But I don't know if I can get into bootloader. My best scenario is to wait until the battery runs out of energy and the smartphone turns off. I will connect the charger for some minutes and then I will turn on the device with Volume Down and Power in order to get into the bootloader. If I can't get into the bootloader I will be in a big problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Before installing that ROM I created a backup of the previous ROM. I didn't check on Data and I think that on the error is on that step. That is just user data, you should be able to restore the previous ROM as long as you backed up system and boot. But it's also possible that the backup is just no good, causing it to be stuck with no OS (it happens).
Anyway I installed Viper / Venom ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) and wasn't able to connect to WiFi. You probably need to update your firmware.

Now the HTC is in a boot loop, flickering but I'm not able to select and action. I can hold the volume up and the power button and restart the phone. But I don't know if I can get into bootloader. You can. Do the button combo to reboot (vol up + power), once the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of the buttons, and just hold vol down, and don't let go, until you see bootloader screen. If this doesn't work, you just got the timing wrong, either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat the sequence until you get it right.

Thanks, I was stuck in the same loop. It took a couple of tries but I managed to get into recovery

Bricked M8 after foolish update attempt

Okay, stupid and impatient me wanted to update to CM12.1 without realizing some of the technical issues that I have now discovered....
Long story short, the last thing I did (and first really) , was flashing the boot.img from the CM12.1 zip using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
What I now have is the white HTC boot screen with the red development build text block, and that's it. No recovery, no bootloader, no love.
Am I screwed?

No, you are not. Nor do I think you did anything stupid, as simply flashing boot.img (as long as you are sure its the right one for the M8) will almost certainly not cause any permanent damage to the phone.
This is simply a no-boot condition; not a brick. Hold power + vol up for 10 seconds or more, until the phone reboots. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of the buttons, and just hold vol down. Do not let go of vol down, until you see the bootloader screen. Failure to get into bootloader by this method is almost always a matter of just not doing the button combo correctly (the timing if a bit tricky) so just repeat until you get into bootloader.
From there, boot into recovery, restore your nandroid, flash a ROM, etc.

Fantastic! Recovery backup is restoring as I type. Now to Sunshine, S-OFF, updated HBOOT and THEN CM12.1.

Ever since I instead 7.1.2 mine shows that stupid ram dump thing , just keep holding volume down and power button it will eventually go into bootloader mode. One time for me it seemed like forever holding the buttons. I also here if you flash stock to both slots that gets rid of that ram dump message. I havn't got around to trying that yet. Don't think it's that big a deal

Hello...
Power down your device, hold power + volume down only two or three seconds. Should boot into bootloader. That's how it booted into bootloader when I was having the same issue.
Good luck...

Hey,
First times I installed Pure Nexus, i would always reboot before installing TWRP zip (I know I was dumb), ended having RAM dump all the time. Flashing both slots stock​ fixed it. :good:
Cheers...

I had a similar issue and it seems that when I shut the phone off I have to wait a bit over 60 seconds after screen turns off before pressing power+vol down. I'm other words, if I shut phone off and it takes more than 3-4 seconds of holding power+vol down and it doesn't vibrate to indicate power on, I simply wait another 30 sec and try again and it works right away. Otherwise if I keep holding it does the same dump it does for you.

Stuck :( TWRP flashing screen

So I was trying to install TWRP on my phone. I have a Mac and was looking at some online guide. I had a pin set-up, and this is what I did:
1. Installed ADB and fast boot
2. Unlocked the boot loader on the phone
3. Check the terminal commands that the device is connected correctly
4. Had the ABD and TWRP img files on the phone.
5. Tried to fast boot TWRP.
What is happening now is that I'm stuck on a boot loop of a TWRP screen, the screen if flashing and won't load. I'm guessing to let the battery die out over night
I was looking at a few threads and some say that I should flash the factory image. Everyone is saying flash the stock file... However, I can't even get the phone to turn off or go back into bootload mode for my computer to recognize the phone.
Any tips?

Hold volume down and the power button down. Keep it held down might take sometime but you should get to the loader. boot twrpRC1 flash rc2 after getting in twrp. You could also start fresh by fishing factory once you get back to bootloader

Long press power button to shut it off
or press power button and vol down together and will take you to fatsboot mode and from there you can use volume button to seltect bootloader or recovery

I don't do pin's so I'm not familiar with the hangups involved with those and TWRP.
But I guess the first thing I'd do is remove the pin lock.
Then power down phone.
Wait 30 seconds!!!!!
Press power + volume down until phone powers on, then let go.
Should boot right into bootloader.
Fastboot boot twrp.
Install TWRP from the fastbooted TWRP.

I'm not familiar with the Mac process but on a PC we need to fastboot into TWRP from an image file on our computer first, and then flash the file on the phone.

I recommend keeping a copy of the boot signer on your device, flashing this fixes most of these types of issues I have found, especially with new rom upgrades etc.

Did you let the phone fully boot into the system after unlocking the bootloader, or did you immediately try and boot twrp?
I've had this problem twice before, both after a fastboot unlock, and I had to let it fully boot into the system before proceeding

Thank you you too. That was the problem, my patience. I didn't hold it down long enough for it to boot back into boot loader mode.

Hey I think that was it. I immediately tried to boot twrp without letting the system fully boot.
Thanks you all for the support. Go XDA!

The first question everyone should be asking is if OP was on the O Beta previously.. If that is the case Op needs to flash the factory image in both slots.
Put phone into the bootloader
Flash all bat
Put phone into the bootloader
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot reboot bootloader
flash all bat
fastboot boot twrp
Even if OP wasnt on the O beta, this should fix the issue.

After successfully flashing Oreo, I am seeing the same flashing/looping TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1).
Long press of Pwr restarted the phone.
Rinsed & repeat a few times.
Any thoughts to flash TWRP (temporarily)?
