M9 issues after update - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
a friend of mine is having problem with his M9. He recently downloaded an update to the phone, but after restart the phone no longer boots, says 0% battery and would not charge (just keeps heating). After a while on the charger it tries to boot (white screen with HTC logo), but after like 20 seconds it reboots.
I can make it enter the "service menu" (or how is it called) - white screen saying "Software status - modified, LOCKED, S-ON" and some menu items (I would post a picture but the forum won't let me because I am new...)
the problem is that Recovery mode does not work, there is just black HTC logo in infinite reboot loop. Reboot to bootloader just reboots to the same menu. The download mode basically says "Failed to boot to download mode. This build is for development purposes only..."
If I plug the phone to PC, while the menu is present, I hear a sound that is was plugged to PC, but a second later it's unplugged, so I was unsuccessful trying to make some sense to it using ADB.
Can the phone be saved? Thanks for help

Whats annoying is that the phone keeps rebooting until it runs out of battery power, I haven't found a way to prevent it from rebooting. So-called "smartphone"...

I tried to update the firmware using RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.23.617.1.exe, but it said I don't have sufficient battery charge. So I plan to use the Fastboot-battery-recharge.bat overnight to give it a charge.
The problem however is that the command
Code:
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
returns "battery-voltage: " without the voltage itself. Anyone experienced this? I am using the latest minimal ADB and fastboot (1.4.3)

BTW the phone is originally EE UK.

Desire Z wont power on :(

Hey guys,
Running ILWT CM7. Flashed about two weeks ago. My phone has been working fine except for the past few days where it's been constantly freezing, requiring a battery-out and turn on, and rebooting on it's own.
Last time it froze, I removed the battery and turned back on, and it got to the "htc" logo and froze. After ~25minutes, I took the battery out and tried again.
Phone seems completely dead, won't respond to power on, volume down and power on, no lights come on when charger cable is plugged in. When USB cable is plugged in and no buttons or anything on the phone is pressed, my laptop attempts to install drivers.
Tried leaving battery out for 30minutes and trying again, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Stuck in RUU mode?

Looks like your phone is stuck in RUU mode.
In RUU mode you see the silver "HTC" logo as long as your phone is connected to your computer with an USB data cable. No charging lights will show in this mode.
You can use the following command to boot your phone to Android:
Code:
fastboot oem boot
When that does not work, because your partition table or system partition might be corrupted, then you would have to use the correct RUU (Rom Update Utility) for your phone to get it back to a working state.
When you have a bricked internal memory chip (emmc) than nothing will work properly to restore your phone to normal working conditions.
In the case you have an engineering HBOOT you could boot a ROM from SD card, but that is a far shot.
Best regards,

Thanks for the help
When plugged in with the USB cable -> computer, I still get no response from the phone itself. Screen doesn't turn on, still seems dead. My laptop still says "Installing device driver software" to no avail, and phone is still dead. No lights, screen is off, nada. As though it was powered-off.
ADB Devices lists nothing, and fastboot oem boot hangs on <waiting for device>.
Am I out of luck? I could send the phone off for repair, but as I'm rooted I think warranty is void.

Windows seems to need a driver installation for using fastboot. Did you try to automaticall install device driver software? Have you installed HTC sync on your Windows computer?
When your device does not respond at all, and even refuses to connect in fastboot, then nobody can tell that you have been rooted.
Best regards,
Catherall
Sounds like your EMMC is fried, as of now I don't think there's a solution other than sending it back. Many say HTC accept and fix it even though it is s-off
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
did you get this worked out? i had a similar problem, ended up booting into fastboot by holding the trackpad and the power button, then just selected reboot and my phone powered on like nothing had happened, i was running the same rom.
Hey, did you alreasy tourned your phone to the fastboot mode?
Or does your device still have a black screen during boot?
I rooted this phone and when I was done trying S-OFF, phone would not respond to anything. It would only blink the orange notification light when I pressed Power and Vol+, or it would stay steady green with both Vol keys and Power. But the phone screen would never turn on. So after trying for hours to figure it out. I finally took the battery off, plugged the phone held pressed the power button and then put the battery in place the phone finally turned on and it worked. I turned the phone off again and it was doing the same issue. So I did the same step but this time with power and vol- to get in the bootloader and changed the hboot version to Desire Z. After that phone works perfectly, turns on and off with out any issues.
I did have to try the trick a couple of times idk why but it would work once in a while not everytime i tried it. Hope this helps anyone who also ends up with a similar issue.

[Q] HTC One X screen not getting turned on

Hi Guys
I have an international version of HTC One X. I installed many ROMS and at last when i was in Slim Rom, screen showed sme thing like scratches and it got turned off. After that i tried booting up in recovery,boot loader and all. But the screen wont turn on,leaving red indication led on and a vibration. In between it turned on and i thought of going back to stock and i relocked boot loader. After that its not being charging and where i try flash to stock it shows Battery Less than 30%. How much i plug in ..it wont charge.
Again the screen went off and i tried the scrip t[" @ECHO off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start" } for making it at least to 10 % .on the first try it became 10% and it booted int o boot loader and it was showing locked in boot loader. I tried to unlock it again .I showed confirmation screen from HTC and i confirmed but still boot loader showed "LOCKED"..
Again the screen went off and it didn't boot to boot-loader. It again shows the red led indication on and it gives a vibration feedback when ever i press the power button for a long time.
Now when i Plugin to wall charger this led notification stays for sme minutes and it gets turned off.
Is there any Solution For this? Please help me out guys..

run the script for at least 4 hours then power down your phone from the bootloader and plug into a wall charger until it is fully charged. Also, never flash anything unless you have at least 70% battery

LS990 stuck on Firmware Update screen

Looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this problem.
My LS990 was on a MM ROM with TWRP recovery. I tried to install an app from another phone with Titanium Backup (Install App + Data) and it hung for a long time and then shut off. When I turned it on, it got to the startup animation and the froze. I removed and replaced the battery several times but always with the same result. Trying to boot into Recovery Mode got me to a blue screen, then it shut off.
I went into download mode and tried to flash LS990ZV4_04.51101 stock with LGFlashTool (which I have done before successfully). It only got to about 60% before stopping and shutting off. Now whenever I turn the phone on, after showing the LG logo it goes straight to the Firmware Update screen (without showing "download mode" first).
When I press Volume Down + Power it shows "Recovery Mode - loading..." for a couple of seconds and then shows Firmware Update.
On Device Manager the phone shows up as "LGE Mobile USB Serial port" (not AndroidNet)
When I tried flashing stock again with LG Flash Tool it gets to 38% and hangs forever. (done this several times)
I have pictures but XDA wont let me post outside links yet.
Is there anything I can do besides trying to short the pins?
I see that when I connect the phone to the PC without the battery inside it shows up as "Unknown Device".
Could I perhaps do something with that?

HTC 10 stuck in fastboot

I am stuck with bootloader. Couldn't not enter recovery. Flashing from bootloader again and again didn't work. Couldnt enter download mode either. It goes into download mode then starts restarting. Tried RUU, it says low battery. When tried power off it and put to charge, charging icon comes and then restarts again and again.
N.B. DDR test looping, message on fastboot screen

I think you are the 4th or 5th member whom has posted about this issue. I don't think any of them came to any solutions, but search for the threads, I haven't been keeping up. Sorry to hear this and hope you get it resolved.

Stuck on an unusual bootloop

Everytime i try to boot my phone its shows a warning symbol and the following text "This phone has been unlocked and it can't be trusted your device will boot in 5 seconds" or something like that, now this is normal for my phone as it just skips it and boots normally but this time something unexpected happened. After the that another text appears saying " Your device has been unlocked and the boot image isn't working" and it just keeps repeating those 2 stages.
Things that might be important to mention
-I had an sd card on it until i bought a new phone and removed it
-I have installed TWRP in the phone (pretty sure its gone by now)
-And it cant charge because it tries to boot when it can't so it just repeats these stages until it powers off.
How do i make it boot into the system?
Now ,after 6 hours, it cant even go to the first stage with the "device can't be trusted" it just sits with its orange light and consumes power, nothing else.
Try to flash stock rom, maybe you install the wrong rom version
