My m9 randomly turned off and went into a boot loop. I have read many many posts and I am trying to best understand the issue/solution. Device is:
Software status: official
Locked
S-On
It wont boot into recovery or download mode, I just get an HTC screen where the background is black and the HTC letters are silver/white (there are no errors on that page, just the logo). Basically the normal boot screen with different colors. Tried connecting via adb and that doesnt work. The only thing I can get into is the bootloader menu.
Thanks
I was able to get it to boot twice (by letting the battery die). But it went back into a boot loop. Ideas?

Hey everyone, I have a T-Mobile M8, Unlocked, rooted, S-ON and I installed {4.4.4} AxxionKat~1.6.0 {Linaro} 9-13-14. Everything booted as normal, I restored all my apps, etc. I decided to change the DPI settings (which Ive done in numerous other ROMs in the past) to 460 from 480. I made the change, saved the build.prop, and restarted my phone. Instead of booting up and going to the boot animation, its getting hung up at the white HTC screen (where is says "this build is for developmental purposes only" Etc.) then it goes dark. Holding power does nothing. Holding power+vol down does nothing. Holding Power+Vol up will bring it to the white HTC screen again but then it just loops. Any ideas on how to get this thing back in recovery so I can restore a Nandroid? Thanks.
EDIT: Im good now. Back in recovery!
First of all, it's not bricked. If it was, you wouldn't be able to turn it on in the first place. You're thinking of a soft brick.
If you can get into the bootloader, you can just enter recovery (or boot custom) via ADB/fast boot

Soft bricked ya. Well I had it up and running and now I find myself in the same situation I was in on Tuesday. I cant get it into the bootloader in order to enter recovery mode. I hit PWR+VOL UP until the white HTC screen comes on, as soon as the screen goes dark I hold PWR+VOL DOWN which should bring me to the bootloader. The first time, this method worked like a charm. This time around it wont do anything. PWR+VOL UP will get me to the HTC screen but then once the screen goes dark PWR+VOL DOWN does nothing....
Hey guys,
Don't usually have to post but after searching all day I can't find a way out of this loop. My 10 is currently flashing the white HTC splash and rebooting endlessly. That's no big deal, but I ALSO have no recovery or download mode access.
The ONLY thing I can do to interrupt the loop is access fastboot by holding Vol UP + Vol Down on restart. Unfortunately trying to "reboot to recovery" only flashes the dark HTC Logo then immediately restarts to the original bootloop. Attempting to "reboot to download mode" simply resumes the boot loop.
The device is recognized in fastboot on my PC but unfortunately I cannot flash or erase anything because I'm in S-ON, so practically none of the fastboot commands work. I have been using TWRP recovery and Viper10 Rom.
Any help getting out of this loop is greatly appreciated. I was going to give up and pay the deductible and replace it, until I found out that the phone is backordered until October and my alternative is an LG, which I can't stand.
S O S!

The only difference being that I let mine loop for a solid hour and it didn't successfully boot at all. In the past I was having issues sometimes when I restarted, but I would just create a backup and restore from it and it would work, which made me think the boot file was just either corrupt or non existent. I've never been locked out of recovery AND download mode, however.
Like the title says, my phones gets stuck at the oneplus logo screen when trying to boot after unlocking the bootloader and
installing a recovery.img file trough the command prompt all after doing a factory reset. After this I tried going into recovery mode
but it just gets stuck at the oneplus logo screen and then the screen just turns black. At this point if i were to try and go straight into fastboot mode it wont let me. Instead i have to long press the power button to get back into the options menu but that's about all i can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is due to a faulty recovery file may be twrp 3.0.4 so use the recovery I'm attaching to flash and that should fix it... Looks like my net speed is slow so just download twrp 3.0.2 and flash that
So earlier today I plugged in my charger into the phone, and it gave me an error messaging saying something about the cable being damaged, and System UI crashed. I unplugged it and made a mental note to buy another charger.
The device was having some issues with SystemUI properly rebooting, so I restarted the phone and got caught into a boot loop.
The device will not go past the HTC splash screen, just rebooting every few seconds.
It doesn't reboot when I go into the white screen bootloader, nor does ADB or fastboot oem detect it.
If I select download or recovery mode, one of two things happens:
1) It displays the monochromatic HTC logo for a few seconds and then reboots back into the normal bootloop.
2) It stays in the monochromatic HTC logo without doing anything else.
ADB does not work in any state, nor does trying to flash an RUU.
I've tried sticking an RUU with an SD Card and going into download mode, but nothing happens.
The device was running Leedroid at the time.
The bootloader is unlocked, and it is S-ON. It is a T-Mobile device with the Marshmallow Firmware installed.
I would very much appreciate help for this as I've been searching for solutions the entire afternoon.
I don't quite understand how a faulty cable would cause a bootloop but not completely fry the device.
Thanks.

So you can't even get to download mode by holding power+vol down for several seconds?

No, it just brings up the same issue of it getting stuck on the monochrome HTC logo.
no idea as i've never had this happen, but when i've had issues in the past i'd let the battery drain completely, then charge it a little, then try booting to download mode. maybe you could try that? did you have twrp or any custom recovery installed?

I've tried that, and I have the latest TWRP.
Tried so many things and read a lot of threads..
Battery just died and when I tried to start it up, just goes in boot loop.
Only place I can get into is the bootloader (white screen). Unlocked and S-on.
Have TWRP and rooted rom..
Won't go into download mode or recovery..
Anyone any ideas?
Possible to kinda make it 'stock' anyway to give it back into warranty?
Thank you..
