HTC One M9 Brick!!? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
i had a small problem. Yesterday i did a mistake and flash the splashscreen from my old M7. Now the screen is black and nothing happens. There are no reactions when i push the buttons no restart, no shutdown and no connection via ADB. Is there any chance to revive it. thx

If there's absolutely no way of booting it into download or recovery then you have a paperweight.

Thats not true Hardbricks can be fixed.
To op: Well the a10 or a11? partition where the m7 splash screen flashes to the phone is where the one m9 has its aboot. Does it connect to a computer?

no connection with adb or fastboot! Is there a chance to flash by HTC Corp. and its running again??

If you live in the usa you can have it repaired under the "uh oh" protection scheme. If you dont live in the usa you cannot have it repaired for free.

but its possible to repair it.

Shut down the phone wait for 2 mins then after try entering into hboot or recovery if you still facing the same then the only solution is Ubuntu there are many threads related to this and boot repair through software box . After reading your post i personally think that you are not doing it right i mean force shut down is the most important thing here ... best of luck

One V Dead!

Today morning while sending an SMS, my phone got hanged and auto-restarted.
It got hung on the boot screen.
Then when i tried to restart it again, it stopped responding.
Now I only get 6-7 vibrations when I try to start the phone and then nothing happens. Hard reset is not working either.
I had not rooted the phone.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
i know this may sound REALLY stupid and as i dont have my ONE V yet is just a stab in the dark....does it need charging at all??? or will it boot with the charger connected for about 15-20mins?
I tried that as well...
My battery was almost full before the phone died.
I put it on charging for almost and hour to see if it makes any difference. But it still wont start...
sounds like a service centre job
can u get into bootloader mode? if yes its just a soft brick u can solve it easily just flash any of the custom roms. or stock ruu
and your phone will be fine
did u rooted it?
and bfre this happened what did you do? tried changing fonts?

If, as you say, you didn't root it, then the software is probably not screwed up. Could very well be the hardware, in which case you'll have to have it repaired or replaced.
You've probably done this, but try holding the power button down for a really long time, until the buttons flash about 10 times. Then try different combinations of holding the power button plus holding the volume-down key to try getting into recovery.

he has not rooted his phone - no recovery, only bootloader.
he didn't said that he arrives at htc one logo. He cannot START his phone at all!
read again and read it good before posting stuff..
as per the problem, dude, if you put it to charge, you see the yellow led? it is turning on? if it does, then you still have hope. leave it recharged for 15-20 minutes and as you recharge it, press and hold volume button DOWN and power button, if this process goes ok you will see a white background with some text in it and a menu. this is called bootloader. if you can arrive here, you don't need to go to warranty with the device.

yes i know he hasn't rooted
but if he can go into bootloader than stock ruu can be flashed

I tried charging it for half an hour, the led does not blink.
I am not able to enter recovery mode either. Tried pressing Volume down + Power and all possible combinations of volume and power button.
I dont know why I am not able to enter the bootloader.
I contacted HTC and they said I should give it to the service centre. Hoping that they repair it since its under warranty...
Try holding down volume and pressing power for more than 10 seconds. If it still doesn't boot into hboot you will have to take it to a service center.
Since you haven't flashed anything on to it or modified it, I'd say it's a hardware problem. Send it back for replacement.
:banghead: Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

[Q] Security: Lock power-off and recoverymode possible?

I realize it is dangerous, but is there a way to lock power-off and/or getting into recoverymode with a lockpattern? Since all other security measures (like gps-tracking) won't matter if a thief can just power-off your phone or boot into recovery en just change the rom or things like that.
Any ideas are more than welcome
Nevermind what I posted was dangerous...
Not advisable to erase recovery as your phone goes into recovery when you power off.
Meaning if you erase recovery then power off your phone. Its likely it won't turn on again.
Think of all the bricked xls by flashing our recovery by mistake

I probably mean a bootloader lock then. That you have to unlock your phone before being able to put it into fastbootmode.
I don't think many thefs will know about what a boatloader, they probably have a blackberry anyway
Back to topic could you not resign the power button for screen on/ off but not to power down?

LC said that the power button functions are hard coded to the tegra chip and impossible to modify.

Well, the One X is still a pretty expensive phone. "Professional" thiefs will definitely know what they are steeling and how to handle it (or know someone who does). If people steel my phone, I'd like it to be completely useless to them, but still usable to me if I get my phone back of course. It sounds spectacular though, but I'm not looking for an app that lets the battery explode after 3 fail-attempts or something

Low battery is bricking my phone

Hello
I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?
I've had my hox nearly a year and am running the very excellent venom Rom.
if the battery runs down completely it switches off and the orange power led flashes. Normally I plug it in and when the led goes to constant it will reboot.
In the last week it refuses to charge and will not switch on. Led goes off completely for a while. If I leave it plugged in orange flash may return but still will not boot. Hox gets hot. Sometimes can get into bootloader which reports battery too low to flash.
I can only restart phone by using adb reboot command from PC.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Cheers
Simon

Go to bootloader and go to recovery. Leave your phone on recovery for charging
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Open up your phone, and find the battery. Charge it directly.
Is it chargable under Recovery?

Try to erase cache in fastboot and go again to recovery it should go...also don't let the phone anymore shut completely off because of too low battery ...and yes...try the other things...it should work ...and if it sticks in bootanimation next boot leave it there if the phone isn't hot then...if not shut phone in fastboot off via shutdown in fastboot and plug into wallcharger....not laptop or so...if the phone is completely off it should also charge ...not only in recovery...

Seems a problem caused by a broken recovery, try a solid stable version like CWM 3.6.8.0 or TWRP 2.4.4.0
Recovery is responsible for handling a "phone-off" charge, and recovery is checked everytime your phone boots thats why your phone could be having this problems.
If this doesn't fix the problem, then you probably have bad hardware, but I don't think so.
Seeing as your battery is too low to flash a new recovery try the script mentioned here to charge it up.

[Q] my DHD Is defunct :((

Hi everyone and sorry for my english,
Little introduction, yesterday I changed a new battery (original) and everything was great until
Today suddenly my phone off for no reason ..
The battery was charged at least half, so there is no chance that it sold out
I pressed the power button, it lights up for a moment - and off again
And since he just does not turn on anymore! I tried everything, remove the battery, replace the previous, to plug and then insert the battery at the same time (I heard it from a friend who understands electronics)
LED is not lit at all while charging .. Please help! I do not want to bury my DHD!! :crying:
Remove battery, replace, press volume down button and the press power button. Keep both pressed till phone comes on, may take 10 seconds.
If the phone doesnt turn on the battery could be flat, if the phone isnt charging the battery then this could be a fix http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400471194202

I can recognise this anywhere, your phone is in download mode, don't worry, although your phone is fully functional, you will need a JTAG to kick it out of download mode, take your phone to a repair shop, and tell them to JTAG the phone to unfreeze the boot loader, the problem is common with the HTC One series, but I've never seen this happen to the Desire HD
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
EDIT: I have the drivers, i dont know what use they will be, maybe you could use QPST to flash some files and get it working, but if you're not experienced i say you should just leave it and take it to a shop for a JTAG

he could try the qhsusb_dload fix for the one v and similar phones, not sure if it will work.
although it's not 100% stuck in download mode, maybe the emmc is gone so it can't even read the boot partition or OS to boot from.

Yup, I've tried to fix a friends bricked DHD before I had one, the JTAG failed to connect it with error 0x44 (Damaged Hardware) but you could always try, I looked just now for the One Vs fix but I can't find it, if you find it post the link

Does it show the HTC logo at all? 7 vibrations somewhat usually indicate a problem in the MISC partition, and what did the unbrick software do? Does windows still try to look for QHSUSB Drivers?

[Q] Htc one x possible brick after ota update. please help..

first of all i would like to say sorry for my rudeness, poor english and noobness to the people of hox...
so yeah my phone is a piece of brick now.. currently on 4.1.1 jellybean stock rom no root or any modification, so basically its a stock original virgin rom without alteration.
how unlucky of me after update my phone. the problem is that the phone after ota update its started to bootloop, then the screen cant turn on no light no vibration.
i try to connect to the computer it does not detect the phone. i try to charge using the htc charger only have blinking red notification for few seconds around 14 blink if im not mistaken, then its gone.
i try fast pressing the power button still no. so i try pressing power+volume down button during red notification flashing then its shows red light for around 30second and it off back. but still i couldnt get the phone to power up.
the problem that i need to solve is that how to charge the phone battery so that it have enough power to let the computer to detect the phone and install the driver. cause currently there is no driver in my computer for the hox. and my phone cant go into bootloder due to the low battery power.
do give advice or any other method for me to follow to restore my possible brick device without disturb the hardware..
in advance i would like to say thankyou all for your time and help..:fingers-crossed:

unlocked bootloader, international version. and other method than send for repair? thankyou so much sir:fingers-crossed:
Maybe charging via the pogopins work, or another battery, or charge the battery outside the phone.....otherwise it's a repairshop or HTC that has to fix it.
Another thing to try is to keep it on the wallcharger for many hours (like 8-9) and try again.....

will do.. hope it would work. thankyou for ur time sir.
