My sister was having problems with her phone today which made the phone unusable.
Constant error messages about various processes stopping unexpectedly and random reboots. She had tried various things, including rebooting numerous times. Until it was recommended by a friend that this could be remedied by performing a factory reset from within the boot loader.
So, my sister has tried this. Unfortunately the phone has been stuck on the boot splash screen (with the HTC and One logos) for over an hour now.
Is there something we can do to get out? Would going back to the boot loader be possible and/or help?
EDIT: having tried a reboot, using power + volume up, it is now stuck in a bootloop.
In case it is useful, is is using stock HTC ROM and stock HTC boot loader.

two days after updating my unrooted desire to 2.1 over the air(ota), it started giving me problems.
First it started by reducing the ringer volume on its own untill its on vibrate, then it would go into car mode.
I restarted the phone, then that stopped, but 3 buttons(menu, search and action key) stopped working.
I did factory reset which didn't help and when I go to the web, the browser would turn the wrong way(landscape).
Now the phone just won't boot up, it gets stuck on the htc logo screen.
I have read some suggestions here, but nothing works.
I tried recovery, but it still get stuck on the htc logo.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Really annoying, I am using the Galaxy Nexus GSM model. I did not do root or do any custom ROM flashing. I was just walking home and listening to music when it randomly entered the infinite reboot. (shows google logo, goes through boot animation, then restarts and does it this over and over).
I wonder if it's related to me recently trying to install the google wallet APK? Either way, I am extremely frustrated. Is this a problem that can be remedied by rooting?
It's possible that is caused by corrupt data, in which case a factory reset from stock recovery should do the trick. Unfortunately, it's also possible that it's a hardware issue...
We my son was using my phone GS3 and pressed on to update. he thought it was a game update, but once it ran it boot then it will be stuck in the ATT logo. I kept tying to reset nothing it boots but once in att logo it stops. i also went in to clear the cach anf reset to factory and still no responds please help.....
Was the phone rooted? Does it have a custom recovery? These two things can cause an ota to fail.
I'm having problems getting my phone past the bootup screen. It first loads the logo then goes to the animated logo then the rethink possible animation and then finally gets stuck on the glowing samsung logo. It then shuts off and redoes the loop a couple of times until it stops with the battery charge up screen and freezes there until I remove the battery.
History: Purchased an att phone for the mb to replace my original phones because it had the insane chip. Had to root it to be able to unlock the phone with my carrier(telus). Since I was in it I flash the DN4 custom rom and everything needed into the phone. The phone functioned fine for about a month and then frequent freezes and restarts started happening. Near the end, the phone was stuck in a boot loop, loading into the DN4 animation boot screen then shutting itself off then on again to endlessly repeat the loop.
Present: At first I was able to get into TWRP and tried some things in there but nothing happened. When there I notice it stated "internal memory 0"-not sure if this means anything.
I was able to flash the saved recovery file from TWRP. Once I did that I could no longer go in TWRP and now have to use the samsung install/recovery.
I have since flashed the stock rom several times with odin and also wiped data/factory reset many times still does the same in bootup. Tried flashing TWRP into phone using odin 3.07 but failed.
What should be my next move? Pretty new at this so I may be missing something very simple or perhaps a dead phone???
Finally got the phone to boot up and run fine. It seems everything was good except the battery was acting up.
Next step is to get the battery to charge when phone is off.
I'll post this question in new thread.
I've had an M9 for 2-3. After the first year I got my phone, I installed a custom recovery and rooted it but later uninstalled root and custom recovery. It has been fine ever since except recently. Last month, my phone randomly crashed for the first time and got stuck in the infinite bootloop. It was as if everytime it tries to boot up, it crashed during it. If I hit the power, vol up, and vol down button, I make it to the screen with the option to go into recovery, download, etc. But when I actually try to go into either bootloader, recovery, or download mode from that menu, it crashes and goes back to the white htc logo. I've have gotten the phone to bootup a couple times by leaving it in the freezer as it tries to boot up but after using it for 1-5 minutes, it crashes again. If I don't use the phone at all, then it usually wont crash. After a day or 2, the phone fixed itself. Then one morning, my notifications got stuck together and my screen became unresponsive. So I took my death sentence and restarted my phone and now my phone has been doing the same exact thing for a week. I don't know how to fix this problem because getting it crashes trying to go into recovery and trying to do a factory reset is risky since it could crash during the reset. If also manage to make it into safe mode thinking maybe an application or virus is causing this but the phone crashed in SAFE MODE so I don't know what the problem is. I doubt there is any saving this phone because is probably a hard ware problem but who knows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
Flash back to stock. Stock firmware fixes all sorts of issues.
