HTC M8 bootloop after android M OTA - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just updated my m8(4.16.401.13) to marshmallow. but installation stucked at 83% i guess. then it gives me bootloop. what should i do? are there any way to get my data back? i'm on stock bootloader and unrooted. i just want my data. please help.

I got the same problem . Get stuck at bootloader after it's finished update to android M when it restarts. I couldn't do recovery or factory reset ...anything. Try wipe cache shut down power up so many times but still stuck at bootloader.
My phone is unlocked brand new no-root and the status of fastboot is "LOCKED"
Please Help.

I had the same problem.. I ended up going to the boot loader (hold power and vol down simultaneously when phone is OFF) and then run Marshmallow RUU ZIP to recover it.
I don't know if there's another way to recover - probably it's possible. Good luck..
All data was gone for me including photos... But I think that happened because I used RUU to recover.

[Q] Desire (stock, not root) can't boot !

Hi,
I need help with my HTC Desire 2.2 stock (not rooted).
I don't know why but it can't boot (freeze on HTC white screen).
I tried vol down + power button to enter in bootloader then tried to clear storage and other items but I still can't boot in normal mode.
Anybody can help me please ?
How long have you left it before turning it off?
About 1 minute. How long should I wait ?
Since I cleared storage it vibrates 7 times quickly and doesn't boot.

Probably a hardware failure. But you can also try to download a stock rom. Then remove your sim and sd card. Go into the bootloader, select fastboot and then run the ruu on your pc.
If you still have the same problem you have a hardware failure.
cant enter boot loader as well
I have almost the same prob here. my phone is dead and after going to boot loader and want to flash a stock rom,the phone does not recover after RUU wanting it to reload bootloader

I get the feeling that it's to do with hardware as well...
I extracted rom.zip from a stock ROM and tried flashing via SD card, but it either comes up as invalid CID or freezes altogether after 'Parsing PB99IMG.zip'

Exactly same error at my end to... cid error both with rom.zip n Rom.exe please help us... pleasre
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you have a cid error, then you have the wrong rom. Cid means that if you are branded, you can only flash branded roms. For example, if your carrier is vodafone, you should flash a vodafone stock rom. Otherwise you will get that error.

Can you boot to recovery by holding down start and volume and do a factory reset?
Try and plug it to your PC and see if you can use adb to the phone. Use "adb reboot bootloader" string.

Download a new Rom, e.g. ARHD og stock Rom, to your external sc-card. Boot to Recovery and wipe every thing except for external sd-crad, and flash the new Rom.
You got it half price... And was it advertised as any kind of damage or problem?
Could be a hardware issue....
But, you're not being too clear on exactly what you have tried and the exact errors.
Is the bootloader even unlocked?
Maybe slow down and be a little more clear and detailed about the phones current state. What you have tried to do, and how. And your exact errors.
?
Have warranty or not?if so then service center is the only way.
Just goto the bootloader and do a factory reset. Also it is not clear if you are S-off and have an un locked bootloader.
Try positing a picture of how the phone looks when it is on the bootloader screen.
IF you are S-Off and/or have the bootloader unlocked, with a custom recovery flashed, just flash over a new ROM.

When you scared is damaged, there's no fix, but just to return it

After a restart the phone hangs in a boot loop.
boot up to HTC Logo but then restart immediately.
I can enter the white Bootloader screen, but when i select Download or Recovery Mode, it hangs in the Boot loop again.
SD Card already removed but is not working too.
My phone is unlocked, rootet & s-off

Did you ever get your phone working? I'm having the same exact issue right now and i don't know what to do
Yes my htc 10 is working again.
The Power got empty and After some days i charged it and since then the Phone Boots up normal again
I am experiencing the same problem. The phone has the latest update installed. (not rooted, bootloader locked).
I cannot go to any recovery modes.
Its so disappointing ! I'm in India but I bought this phone from middle-east on December 2016 and I have to sent it back there for warranty claim which will not happen very soon.
Have anyone found a solution for this problem ??
Something happened to my cell phone. I enter the bootloader but nothing works
I got same thing but I can't boot my phone any more, just totally frozen down. Not even I try hard reboot with power/power+volume down/power+volume up/power+volume up and down.
I can't do anything without the info on my phone.
Can someone help with this?
This can't be fixed

We cant fix this, even I tried to troubleshoolt but no luck. You have to contact HTC service and claim warranty. So you will get a new device. Very shame on HTC 10 design, One of my friends who was in HTC service centre has seen atleast 12 HTC 10 devices sent for bootloop issue.

You have to wait a long time for bootup. Even after white HTC screen which can take a few minutes, it will optimise 165 or so apps on MM 6.0, and 265 or so in Lollipop 5.0, depending what you have. Try going away for a half hour while it boots.
Another thing you might try is when it goes on hanging in the 'finishing boot' for a long time so that you think it has completed optimizing of the apps, (wait 20 minutes some apps take minutes to optimize, and there are as I said over 160 at least) , turn it off again by holding the power button for 15-30 seconds or however long it takes to get it to power off. Then restart again it may come on.
*if the power off alone doesnt shut it off, power off+vol down should.
Can the bootloader is locked bro so don't think that would work

Tried all that mate. When I hard reboot it (power vol+) it stays stuck at htc one screen left it for 30min or so and still no boot. I tried to logcat while its booting but it won't logcat either. I really need the stock rom but unable to find it I have tried a few zips but got error wrong footer
You need a ruu but unfortunately ruu is not available (afaik).
Worth a try ... flash htc signed firmware fw_6.13.206.5 that you can get from same link above on post #5.
Most important is too see whether the firmware can be successfully installed with no error. If there is error, I'm afraid that will be hardware.

Link on post #4 above or directly here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5
Not so sure whether can be unlocked but you can try.
You need to get the unlock code from www.htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.
Good luck and good night .. gotta go now.

Htc 10 stuck in bootloop-

Hi, I bought my HTC 10 around 7 months ago and a few weeks ago it restarted and it´s kept restarting since then. I tried doing a hard reset from the recovery because it doesn´t boot properly, but it didn´t work. I wanted to flash the RUU but I couldn´t find the right one on HTC SUPPORT. I wanted to try rooting my device and wiping data using TWRP to install a ROM and see if this could work, but as my phone doesn´t boot, I can´t unlock the OEM or debug developer mode.
Now I can´t even access to recovery mode so I can´t check my OS model, I just can access to bootloader mode.
If anyone can help me I´d really appreciate it.
Did your device still S-ON?

If you didn't do anything to your phone it's probably the battery. This is the most talked about problem in these forums. Can you boot to download mode? If so what's your CID?

My phone is in a stuck in a bootloop, I was using it one day and it restarted by itself. I was able to use it for a few minutes and then it restarted again untill the point that it doesn´t boot anymore. The only thing I have done is a hard reset from recovery, but it keeps restarting. Now I can´t boot to download mode that´s why I haven´t flashed the RUU, I just can boot into bootloader mode and when I try to boot into recovery or download mode from there it restarts again.
im having the same issue.
the buttons randomly stopped working, so i restarted the phone only to be greeted with a bootloop.
i had lineage os on my phone for a while, and today i installed a update, so that might be related to the sudden bootloop.
when i press vol down + power it just boot loops. if i press vol up + vol down it boots into the bootloader.
trying to start download or recovery mode just gets me into a boot loop again.
the bootloader says s-on.
i just found this in another thread

Unbelievable - I actually managed to unbrick my HTC 10!! :victory::victory::victory: I still don't understand exactly what happened, but I'll document everything I did...
Before:
S-ON
Flashed bad boot image in download mode
Could not enter download, RUU, recovery, or system mode - all of them enter into bootloop
Could only enter white background bootloader mode (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power), which only allows flashing signed hosd image
What I did:
Followed @Tarima's link above. With the phone in the white background bootloader mode, I ran fastboot flash $x $x.img with $x = each of the partitions. Except for hosd, all the other commands printed an error like
Code:
sending 'xbl' (1809 KB)... OKAY
writing 'xbl'... FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)
but I continued anyway.
Selected "REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER" from white background bootloader
Downloaded an RUU exe file from here (I got the 1.96.617.20 version, but in hindsight it probably doesn't matter which version), and extracted an RUU zip file (following this guide on Linux)
Renamed the RUU ZIP to 2PS6IMG.zip, copied it to the root of an empty FAT32-formatted microSD card, and inserted the card into the HTC 10 (inspired by this post and this post)
Selected "BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE" from white background bootloader
This triggered a screen prompting whether to install update from SD card (photo).
I didn't need to actually install the update from the SD card; instead, the presence of a valid update on the SD card may have short-circuited whatever was causing the download mode to crash loop, and allowed the phone to enter download mode and accept fastboot flash commands. Since my problem was a bad boot image, I just did
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
with the boot.img extracted from the official Nougat OTA zip's firmware.zip, and it worked! Phone was able to boot back into system / download / RUU / recovery. :victory:
I'd already given up hope and bought another HTC 10 off Swappa I've now learned my lesson and I'm going to S-OFF at once.

i havent had a chance to try this yet since i dont have a usb-c cable on my hands right now, but i feel like it is worth a shot @MatiasCinic.
also here is a safe place to download the htc 10 ruu https://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html

I´m gonna give it a try, but I´m not sure if it´s gonna work. Hopefully I might be able to boot into download mode and get to know my CID. Thanks
i promised to update once i tested the methode. sadly it didnt seem to work for me.
flashing hosd worked like in jichuan89 case. but puting the 2PS6IMG.zip into a formatted sd card didnt seem to work for me.
booting into download mode sill gives me a bootloop.
unless someone comes up with a new idea on how to fix this, i might have to get a new phone :/

If you didn't do anything to your phone it's probably the battery. This is the most talked about problem in these forums. Can you boot to download mode? If so what's your CID?

That's all good but unfortunately if you can't boot to download mode you can't flash RUU. Also if the method above didn't work i think it's time to send it to HTC or but a new phine

Alright, thanks for your help
Hi Guys,
I think the problem causes by power and volume keys' ribbon. When i try pressing and holding power and volume down keys the gray HTC logo appears. But when i try pressing only volume down key the gray HTC logo appears again. As if power button always pressing itself. I'm gonna try remove connection after normal HTC logo disappears. If it fix the problem i will inform you again. Wish me luck :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
any update? did it work?
