Hello there! Apologies for the vague thread name, I'm actually unsure what is wrong with the phone -long story short, I've bought it in CashConverters, thinking I could earn some (M9 for thirdy quid? bloody hell).
The phone does turn on, so I don't think it's hard-bricked. When the phone is turned on, it goes to this menu
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REBOOT and REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER result in the same, as does turning it on after POWER DOWN.
After pressing BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE, this menu pops up, and pretty much goes back to the first one upon VOL UP or VOL DOWN.
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE does work, and results in this menu
I have once attempted to "apply an update from SD card", it resulted in this, and decided not to test my luck.
Couple things to note, I do IT for a living, started working on it yesterday, 2pm - 2am, mostly reading through XDA and android pages, didn't manage to find a solution yet, and I'll stab myself with a spoon if I failed at searching.
My question is: can I fix it? Is it worth it?
You could flash a RUU.exe if its a tmobile, verizon, sprint etc. Other than that i dont know... You cant even see what firmware number you got

I assume it's O2 because it says himauhl_o2_uk, plus an O2 sticker. Other than that, I don't know, as I can only access recovery, and literally got it in that state.
Edit: I assume it's caused by someone disconnecting the phone while updating through HTC Sync, but I am unsure.
I am having this same exact issue with my Sprint M9. I have tried installing the 0PJAIMG from the SD Card and no love. Get error E:footer is wrong signature verification failed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

When I hold the power button and then touch the turn off option I am unable to hit "ok" or "cancel" on the final confirmation screen before turning off the phone. Most of the time both options are completely unresponsive to touch although the back button does work to get out of the power down process. I have had success a few times if I start from power down process from the browser as opposed to the home screen. I searched and couldn't find anything on this. Any help?
This is the screen I'm having trouble with:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update: It won't even work for me when I start from my browser now. This is isn't the only menu I'm having issues with either. For instance, I can't select "edit" from ##data# either, only view.
I want to say this happened somewhere in the process of running the ruu on my pc to go back to stock from aloysius and then re-rooting and loading the flipz stocker. All of that, of course, was an attempt to fix my rooted 4g issues. But I can't even complete all those steps since the ##data# menu is "broken". I'm definitely frustrated.
run the RUU again, if youre still having screen issues try and get it replaced, it might be a hardware problem.
Just finished with ruu again and 4G is fixed but the screen issues remain. Yeah, I'm guessing hardware now too...just a funny coincidence with what I was doing yesterday. Now I'm faced with:
1) replace and forget about root for a while- too many issues!
2) return/cancel/droidx
every phone will have its issues, refering to the droidx, it sucks you had so many issues with rooting your phone. not to throw it in your face or anything, but there are plenty of us who have rooted phones and are quite content, give it another go if you'd like, plenty of help here.
Yeah it does sound like my issue is truly unique.
Anyone have or hear of something like this?
Some more info:
I tried to reset my now stock phone through setting>privacy. The "Reset phone" button is unresponsive so I can't do that either. I pulled the battery and then turned it on holding down the volume down button and then got into the stock recovery. I selected the factory reset from there and while the phone reset the first message that flashed while it was going through the process was:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Does that mean anything to anyone?
Posting from my new build 3 EVO. Best Buy exchanged for me after work, no questions asked. In fact, they didn't even look at my old EVO.
Whenever I try to boot up my Desire Z, it would show me the HTC logo, but shut off promptly. I'd be able to enter the bootloader, but whenever I try entering recovery, I get this:

Is my phone bricked?
I'm not sure what was done previously, as I bought this phone second hand, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to rectify the problem.
Sounds like a soft brick, at the worst. You can fix it. Look up loading a rom from bootloader dezire z. Maybe you can put the new update on the sd card. You will lose root though, which you probably have if the got you stuck on that screen.

Try looking up about the triangle, also. There might be some buttons you can press etc.

At the triangle screen you show, hold down volume for a second or 2 then press and hold power. See if that doesn't take you to the text-based recovery screen (stock is blue text?).
PS - sounds like no rom and/or radio is flashed, that or someone tried to reroot and stockify it but bricked it as you describe. I'm inclined to believe it's been wiped clean. What's the bootloader show for your hboot, radio versions etc?
Ah, I was able to get it into the 3e recovery with the blue text, but unfortunately I can't do anything there.
I think I have another problem now, though. The battery won't charge. If I plug it in, it'll flash an orange and green LED, and from what I've been able to gather online, that means there's something wrong with the battery connection or overheating? It's not the latter, so I'm going to assume there's something wrong with the pins. The warranty sticker has been broken as well, so I think I think I'm SOL.
Thanks for the help anyway, guys!
Hey every one,
I have the following problem with my dads new HTC one V...
The phone asked for a systemupdate so i did, but didn't read the instructions to carefully. (Overconfidend...) Actually though hm i'm so smart lets put in the charged incase it might take to long i get screwed.
Turn out that it SPECIFICALLY said to NOT do that. -_-'
"When the battery charged to 50%, I started the update process but left the “smart” phone connected with charger. After the phone restarted itself, it just showed a static green round arrow icon and no status or progress bar. After waiting for more 30 minutes, that scary motionless screen remained unchanged, looked like it’s hung or stopped updating.
Luckily I did take some screenshots of system update screen and sent to Gmail prior to the update process started. Here is the answer to the problem – avoid charging your phone during the update as it may interfere with the process

After awhile i heard the startup sound of the phone coming from the other side of the room randomly... I checked the phone and saw that i rebooted. I could still enter pin code but now it randomly reboots!
Any help here?

Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.
Hey guys, got the following problem:
Important things first: I am from germany and I know that my english isn't the best, but I'll do everything I can for explaining everything, so you can understand me.
So, the problem is complex; please read everything^^.
I am proud user of my HTC One M8, and after months of "normal" using, I tried out several things like custom roms, storage encryption and such things.
The last custom ROM I was using is ViperONE.
On my One M8 there is S-ON, USB-debugging is deactivated, the H-BOOT version is 3.16.0.0000. (

, please excuse the quality).
There is a problem with the recovery partition/version --> when I want to boot into recovery, it opens H-BOOT.
Now, what happened:
I often tried to reset the smartphone: install a new rom, etc.
And with every try I became sad, because it failed.
It could not open the required recovery-mode. God knows why.
As initially mentioned I encrypted the storage, and on the decryption screen was written, that the smartphone will hard-reset after 30 times of incorrect password input.
I thought, it would be a good idea, to try that out.
But first, it seemed like the best thing to disable usb-debugging. I think, I been totally brain-afk.
So, I did this (disable usb-debugging, restart mobile phone, 30 times incorrect password input), and watching as the phone get doomed.
The phone starts into H-BOOT, thats it.
But... no, one more thing, my decryption password got changed.
I can do nothing for several months.
Funfact: After some search in blogs, asking google, etc. I found out that my only mistake it was, to turm usb-debugging off. If I haven't did that, there where no other problems.
Any ideas, what to do?
Do you know, what the decryption-password is now? I thought it could be null, so the password-variable is empty. But on this point, I have not idea, what I should do.
Please only write constructive posts, nothing like "customer service". If there is no chance, on saving the smartphone, it's ok, but please write, why you think, that there is no way.
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely, Dardassa
