[Q] HOX all stock, not booting

Hello,
I know booting issues are possible when opening the bootloader and messing with kernels and rom flashing but that's not my case and I couldn't find a post that helped me so I hope someone can help me out on this.
I am a member of the HTC User Trial program and I'm currently testing the 3.09.401.100 Jelly Bean ROM, all stock, not rooted, never opened the bootloader or flashed any firmware besides official HTC RUU when OTA came out late (UK device, always last to get official OTA )
Last night I left my phone on before I went to sleep and it had low battery. This morning I tried to turn it on and it didn't work so I thought that the battery went out. Naturally, I plugged my phone to the charger and the red led didn't light red to indicate charging for a 30sec-1minute period, than it flashed red a few times and afterwards it lighted up red as if the phone was charging. I've left the phone turned off to charge for about 3.5 hours (even after the led turned green, just to get it really fully charged).
Now, when I try to turn the phone on, it get's stuck in the "HTC ONE" bootscreen with the beats audio logo at the bottom.
Long press on the power button reboots the phone but the issue repeats and the phone does not boot past the boot screen with the logo.
Couldn't attach my HBOOT photo so here's a link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxk8yz19ew0gi6s/hboot.jpg

I'm having the same problem with an unlocked bootloader

sound weird...
you aways could try to do a factory reset from the bootloader, but should be considered a last resort since you memory will be wiped clean

Contacted HTC with this issue and they are not familiar with it as well. They have asked me to send a bugreport using ADB and told me that a factory reset may be required.
I will update if anything new pops up.

What is the starting of your device's serial number? if you don't mind (eg: mine are HW251XXXXXX)

HT23Y******* - Do you think it's related to my specific issue?
As for the problem itself, since I have all my important data backed up, I have done a factory reset and it sorted things out. No other solution from HTC in the meanwhile.

The problem is that I think that this leaked OTA was meant for some devices only (it contains "goldfish" libs not "endeavor") and 3 devices on this forum have reported incompatible hardware issues with the new hboot.
Are you sure you flashed boot.img from bootloader ? and how did you get into user trial program or where you randomly chosen ?

I got the update directly from HTC as I'm a member on the User Trial program, no flashing what so ever, just plain OTA download & install.
I was chosen to participate in the User Trial program because I'm also a member on HTC Elevate and they asked users to join the program for testing One X software update.

[Q] What should I do in case of semi-brick?

I rooted my HTC One X and unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev earlier this year. Recently I have had this problem with the phone where it bugs out. Sometimes in the middle of using the phone the screen will turn off and on showing the unlock screen while the Home buttons pulsate white.
So I did a factory reset and the phone seemed to work quite well not as buggy. After I had to revive it by leaving it on the charger for a couple hours.
I also have clockwork recovery still installed and I made a back up image that you guys talk about. The boot.img which I made after I rooted and facotry reset it. I don't think you can even get the boot img without it have that recovery program.
My question is should I try and mess with it some more? Should I re root it? I just want it function with out breaking now is my goal.
And is there any way to hide that whole "This is HTC software... do not distribute " message that comes up when I boot the phone? Because I know this voided my warranty but if I could get rid of that message my warranty is through a third party so I might be able to get a replacement if I can get that boot message off.

After re rooting it it seemed to calm down and the frequency of restarting was down significantly.

Now after a week, it is starting to restart again. Should I of flashed the kernel? I see that throw around a lot here in these forums but I don't know if it pertains to my situation. Anything help would be appreciated.

[Q] Stuck on Google boot screen

Hi guys first post
Anyways I've been having problems with my Nexus 7 hat I got for X-Mas. It started out ok but friday it crashed and I re-booted it. The screen was unresponsive but it started working again . Today I booted it up and it got stuck on the Google screen, I waited for about 20 mins and nothing. I tried flashing it back to stock, factory reseting, both of those seemed to do nothing. I hope this is a software glitch cause I had to unlock bootloader to flash the android version, because if it is hardware I can't get a replacement since I voided the warrenty right? Should I try flashing maybe 4.3, or what?
-Please help me
-Dylan

Hi Scoorzia, since you've already tried a factory reset and have unlocked the bootloader, I'd go ahead and flash the full stock 4.4.2 ROM. Is that what you tried before?

Yes I did try this, also I seemed to get it back to working state, but it keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive and powers off. It passes the Google screen now but sometimes on the locks creen I can't swipe and it goes into sleep and won't come back. I'll give it a week and if it still continues I'll take the other guys advice about gettinga r eplacement.

I relocked it with fastboot but can't they tell if I unlocked it before? Also there's a tiny scratch on the edge of the screen I accidentaly made. If I get it replaced will they replace it witha new one or jsut the same with fixed software?

Also it seems to like to reset it self quite allot, I'll hopefully try get a replacement.

If you did a clean flash of the stock ROM and recovery, it could be an eMMC that's faulty straight from the factory.

Today it's been OK. I flashed one more time and haven't had any problem since. I think it'll be OK, probably something to do withKitKat

OTA update leads to HTC logo stuck

My brother got HTC Desire 816 a month ago.
He found OTA Update and he installed it and when phone was updating he noticed that phone stuck on htc logo.
He keep waiting for almost hour to see if it is finished or not, but ???
Well i am using ATrix 2 and i suggested him to go to recovery and try for system restore. But still no luck.
Phone was above 65% and wifi connection was proper that time. I don't know what went wrong?
I Google regarding this and searched in xda also, for same, but i didn't find anything helping.
Can any one help me regarding this.

This is the second case so far I came across that has issues with updating OTA on HTC desire 816. May I please ask whether it was rooted and xposed module installed ? If not, the only way is to look for a custom rom or else, install the custom recovery (if your brother can manage to boot into fastboot mode) and restore from the cwm backups floating around in xda. @jithumon has the indian backed up version, which will allow you to get your phone back alive, if not already is.

His mobile is not rooted, even he is not technical person at all.
Yeah! he was able to go to fast boot mod by pressing volum and power botton. He also managed to hard reset. But no luck. Fiinally he returned the phone to ebay. He will be gettiing his phone by 5th september (hopfully). The thing is phone is almost new (~1 month old). So neither he noe I wanted to take chance.

Htc m8 stuck on bootloop

Hi im new here and hope this is in the right place. I have a htc m8 on o2 network in the uk. Its basically not booting past the htc logo then it restarts again. I have booted into the boot loader via power button and volume down. When i go into recovery there is nothing to recover. Factory reset doesnt fix it niether does wipe the cache etc.... Tried them all. I have read a few guides and had a look at twrp but always get errors flashing them to phone. I also tried to do it via sd card but samr errors. Is anyone able to help me or advise me on what go do? My email is [email protected] if you wanted to email instead. Thank you for your time.

I had a similar issue once and it was the micro switch under the volume button itself being stuck. Have you had any issues with the volume sticking either up or down before?

No nothing like that m8. Ill double check that though.... i think its software issue..

Sorry it couldn't have been something as simple as that. May I suggest that you re-post your issue in the M8 help area of the forum located at, https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help ?
That area seems to receive more traffic by experienced users than this one, so hopefully someone can point you in the right direction as there aren't many dinosaurs like us left using "antique" novelty items like the M8 anymore.

Better to report the thread and the mods will move it. Otherwise, it doesn't really fix the problem (thread in the wrong place) but actually makes it worse (multiple threads in different sections, both asking the same question).
I'll ask the mods to move the thread.

Would be helpful to know what the errors say.
If it says "remote not allowed" it is because your bootloader is locked. It needs to be bootloader unlocked (via HTCDev.com), in order to flash custom recovery TWRP.
