Hi everyone ,Im new here and dosent really understand in cellphones hardware so i will try to explain myself good enough for you to understand .
Yesterday i had some problems with my device (Htc m8) ,the power button didnt worked and if i pressed the middle button at the buttom of the screen it did a screenshot .
I saw that i have a software update that i didnt install yet and i thougt it will help .
The device was in the update mode for 7-8 hours and when he finish he got stuck on the logo screen .
I can get to the "Software status fficial(***LOCKED***)" and i tried almost every option in here and nothing comes up /
HBOOT (cant touch it)
FASTBOOT(open more options - HBOOT ,RAMDUMP,REBOOT.REBOOT FASTBOOT ,POWER DOWN)
RECOVERY (does a restart)
SIMLOCK(didnt try ,dont think its connected to the problem )
CHECK SMARTSD (didnt try )
IMAGE CRC (didnt try )
SHOW BARCODE (show me barcodes )
Can you please help me ?
Is there a way to open the device without losing all the memory (contects ,notes ,photos ,etc) ?
Thank you .

So the power button didn't work in OS before? But now it does in bootloader (assume it works, otherwise you would not be able to select the options in bootloader).
What does it say for OS number on the bootloader screen?

Unlikely. You should have been backing up your data all along; instead of wishing you did after a disaster strikes.

hello every one, so I've been searching the net for two days with no answer, help plz , so my problem is I was trying to theme framework-res.apk from rom : RCMix_234_v2.7 for my personal use, when I pushed the framework-res.apk and rebooted the phone was displaying ( Safe Mode ) in bottom left corner so I pushed back the original one but still nothing (Safe Mode ) on, so I rebooted in recovery format ( system,data,cache ) restored an other rom ( virtuous 2.35 ) to make a clean install of RCMix_234_v2.7 rom again but battery was to low, so I turned the phone off and charged the battery , and ever since , the phone boots only in bootloader without even touching the volume keys ! and the volume ( up/down ) keys don't responde , any ideas ?
PS: fastboot and adb don't see the phone , and now with radio s-off ( warranty is void ),kindly help any one , or is my phone bricked ? sorry for the long story and thanks.
If anyone is interested , it was a hardware problem ( volume down key ) phone is finally in care center , than you all.
I'm not very technical with regards to the steps you were doing at the time, but can you take the battery out and put it back in and then immediately press the power button AND the volume down button at the same time for about 7 seconds? IE. Can you boot it into Recovery?
ive had the same thing before turn the phone off and connect it to usb turn the phone on and it should recognise USB
have u installed htc sync? and / or sdk? i think you didn't install the usb drivers

Hi there
I've been writing about my problem for days now and I still haven't sorted it out. I'm just making the problem worse everytime I read all these forums. I messed up. I rooted when I shouldn't have. I get that. Please, I beg one of you to help me.
I tried to load software this morning and it just died. Screen went back. It seeemed to have been hard bricked. But then on the XDA forum I read how to keep playing with the up down volume buttons and the power buttons and it sometimes goes on.
Mine came on and it seems to have gone to recovery / install / etc screen (big buttons). Whatever I select, it always shows restarting and then the screen dies again and I have to play with it again. Obviously the software is messed up.
What software do I load here at this screen? What do I select? Recover or install or what? Please guys, the phone is on sufficiently enough that HTC will be able to see the phone was rooted. So I won't be able to get them to help. I need your help. Please???

Can't you go to bootloader > fastboot and use RUU?
i had almost same problem and managed to do this .
connect phone to charger or to pc via usb , keep pressing power and volume up bottons , unless phone starts charging (with charging battery logo),it will take 1 minute or so , after that remove cable and push Volume down and Power button together, keep pressing for a few second and phone should boot in bootloader , then you can choose fastboot mode and do RUU method , or if you have custom recovery , you can install some rom with it or restore backup (if you have one)
1. Put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and run command fastboot getvar all and post result here (minus serial no. & imei no.)
2. Which recovery is that (you mentioned big button), TWRP ?
Hey guys
Thanks for the responses. It was just too daunting for me, so I took it to a repair centre. They will load the stock htc software on it.
Thanks anyway
OK ... no problem ...that's what we're going to suggest to you too. We have almost all the files needed on XDA

I had a similar issue but was able to get into recovery mode and restore a backup.
Can you get to recovery like this
Power Down the LG G4
When Off, Press and Hold the Volume Down and Power Buttons at the Same Time
Continue Holding These Two Buttons Until You See the LG Logo
When You See the LG Logo, Let Go of the Volume Down and Power Buttons for 1 Second
After 1 Second has Passed, Immediately Start Holding the Power and Volume Down Buttons Again
Continue Holding These Two Buttons Until You Boot Up into the LG G4 Recovery Mode

i told you nothing work i cant go in recovery mode with this option . and hard reset doesnt work too ... im blocked
Hi I'm sorry if you've already said you can't get into recovery mode or anything but when i bricked my g4 i used the lg flash tool to flash h815 10c stock and then instead of flashing the latest twrp (the blue themed one) i flashed the one before it which is 2.8.6.1 and it worked perfectly so if you manage to get into recovery or fastboot then try and flash that version of twrp instead , good luck buddy...

How did you "brick" (it's not) it? Kill switch is an anti theft feature, usually triggered remotely by the user.

This button combo you posted is wrong any way...you only release power for 1 sec and continue holding vol down and the re press power
I cut and pasted those instructions from another site. They held me back from fixing my phone for hours until I discovered the method you have mentioned. I haven't seen any site that tells us to do it like you said, I just was trying different ways and then hey presto!! it worked.

I tried power and volume down and it does the same thing . I NEED HELP ASAP:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: . I dont know why mu phone shows that all i did was install lineage os

It's soft bricked. Ignore that message on the bootlogo, it appears when you mess with your kernel afaik.
Hold the power and volume down buttons when it starts booting. The back and recents buttons will blink. Keep holding until a new HTC logo appears.
You need to download an RUU and flash it from your PC, the full RUU (not a no-wipe version).
OH yeah recovery finally accessible after abandoning for 24hrs and I flashed lineage os . Anyone knows where to find HTC__060 RUU firmware ??? or a zip. I miss stock lol. download mode shows os as 2.14.400.3

Hello guys!
Recently i got my phone encrypted (locked) and no, it is not stolen or what so ever. I just woke up and that was the first thing i saw on my phone and no matter what kind of code i put in, it shows, that the password is ok but the files are corrupted and it needs a factory reset. After pressing the button to factory reset it, it just restarts and goes back to old screen and same thing again.
+ I can not even enter recovery mode because it just boots up normally then and shows that the settings has stopped working and thats it, needs to be restarted again.
+ I did get to that screen where you unlock bootloader, pressed yes and it just restarted as usual and got back to the old screen where i need to put in the password.
+ In fastboot menu id does not even show the bootloader option.
+ i tried to flash custom recovery but it does not allow me saying something about permission or something like that.
Please, help me out people because i am out of ideas
Any suggestions ?
may be there is a way how to completely wipe phone's memory and just install a new os ?
