[Q] My HTC One V (Virgin Mobile) won't turn on

Please help me.
My phone worked just fine until yesterday. Now it won't turn on. Tried to contact Virgin Mobile. They asked for my Virgin Mobile number otherwise they can't help me. Unfortunately, I don't remember that number since I tossed it long time ago. I didn't even activate the phone with Virgin Mobile because I bought this locked Android phone for my Dad's use as a portable dictionary and calling his friends from Viber.
Background info about this phone:
- The phone is fully charged all the time.
- No new apps installed before it crashed.
- We use the phone's native Android OS so it's never modified in anyway.
- Press and hold Power button as usual to turn it on: it won't turn on. Only the 3 bottom icons (<, Home, and "task manager") were blinking.
- I was able to enter bootloader menu: Press Power button for about 12 secs then release and right after that hold "Volume Down" until the bootloader menu shows up.
- In bootloader menu, I tried and finished "Recovery". A red triangle shows up at the end of the process. I hold the Volume Up key and press the Power key at the same time. A blue menu displays:
* Reboot system now
* Apply sdcard:update.zip
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Wipe cache partition
I tried 'Wipe cache partition". and rebooted system. Nope, it won't turn on.
- Followed the same above process, except tried "Wipe data/factory reset" and rebooted system. Nope, it won't turn on.
- Went back to the bootloader menu, I tried and finished "Factory Reset". Nope, it won't turn on.
Please let me know what I have to do to solve this annoying bootloop problem. Thank you so much.

How about bring it to the customer and get a new one?

They don't have their own stores. They have agents at Best buy, Target, Radio Shack, etc but I'm not sure these agents accepted the phone. But I'll try. Thanks.

why not?

Galaxy Note 3 Wont Boot

So I was watching a show on my tablet. and then the tablet just froze. I tried to reboot it. and the screen just stays stuck at the Samsung Load screen. I have Team Win Recovery installed on it. So I used the commands to get into it. and see if I could reboot and reset through there. But when I go to reboot it tells me my System has no OS do I still want to reboot, reset or whatever I try to do.
My PC isn't recognizing my device. So I can open it up at all. I did not have a SD card in my Tablet. but I do have one in my phone and it does fit into my Note III so I believe it should/would work for any steps I may need to do to help fix this problem. Any ideas or suggestions on how to deal with this?

I've seen this before...
...THIS MAY OR MAY NOT work (CAPS for emphasis only).
The way we solve that because the symptoms you are describing are often the result of a corrupted cache that effects that startup of processes in the background. Clearing the cache might help if the following doesn't work, but don't clear it first because going through this process sometimes requires that whatever data is in the cache remain undisturbed...
(Remember, Android is just a portable version of Linux).
Part 1 of 2 - Enter Safe Mode (ignore all other directions except for using the hardware keys to enter safe mode)
Safe mode
Turn on and use safe mode
Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily remove all apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.
To turn on safe mode and use it to fix app problems, follow these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
'Safe mode' will display in the bottom left corner of the screen. Release the Volume down key when you see 'Safe Mode.'
Uninstall third party applications
Turn on Safe Mode.
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the General tab.
Tap Application manager.
If necessary, swipe right to the Downloaded screen.
Tap the desired application.
Tap Uninstall and then tap OK.
Turn off safe mode
To turn off safe mode, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Power key.
Tap Restart.
The same steps are located on the following URL for entering Safe Mode:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
Part 2 of 2 :
If you were successful in engaging Safe Mode, it is more than likely you will see an option screen come up that lists "TouchWiz" , KNOX (Possibly, and varies depending on your config and KNOW Counter Status {i.e. "0x0" or "0x1}, and TouchWiz Simple.
Please pick TouchWiz and DO NOT pick TouchWiz Simple.
Your Note 3 should then start without incident; however we would recommend you backup your data and reload your device with fresh installs as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.

The Tablet wont even boot up into Safe Mode. the Tablet doesnt boot at all. It just stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 screen.
I can use the hard keys to enter into Odin Mode and Team Win Recovery thats it.

Thanks for clarifying. Different steps will be required then. Be careful, and read the other two links carefully that are listed in order of importance to get your Note 3 back up and running:
[Step 1]
Hardware reset using Hardware Buttons ( You WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA {CAPS for emphasis only} )
Master reset with hardware keys
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Back up all data on the internal memory.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
Press Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'
Press Power button to select and start the master reset. When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.
Directions also featured on the following URL: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
[Step 2]
Forget about ODIN and you can use Heimdall with the build of your choice provided it is supported by the BootLoader (i.e. KitKat BootLoader will not load JellyBean).
The instructions are in the following URL as are links to the appropriate software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545009
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH A USB3 Cable. Instead use a USB2 cable because USB3 connections via the Note 3 have been known to not be the most stable, and you will receive much more reliable connectivity using USB2 that is essential to the reload process.
Hope this all helps, and please let us know how successful you were.

HTC One M9 - Not booting properly after Factory Reset - Please Help!

Hi forum,
I have just reset my HTC One M9 back to factory settings and now when it starts it immediately gives me Google Play errors and will not boot. The errors repeatedly show on the screen and it will not boot normally rendering the phone useless. The messages I am getting are:
1: Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped
2. Unfortunatley, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped
I click OK and they just keep coming over and over.
I can't get onto the phone to change settings and would just like it to work again. I am not bothered about custom ROMS, just want it working however I can.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks for your help.

You can try starting your phone in safe mode by holding the vol down button when the HTC logo shows when you start up. *release power key and start pressing vol down when htc logo shows*
See if you can start properly with Safe Mode and if anything can be updated there. If it doesn't work, just wipe the phone once more using recovery mode and see if it works. If it fails again even after another wipe, you have to install the RUU for your phone again using the SD card method in the Readme thread.

hi,
shut down your phone
boot into bootloader mode - select boot to recovery
"WARNING - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST"
Next select from Recovery Mode menu "wipe data / factory reset" using Volume buttons to navigate and Power button to confirm.
Choose "Yes -- delete all user data" to confirm the whole operation.
After that select option "reboot system now".

Galaxy S7 Active - black screen of death

My Galaxy S7 Active just went to the dark side yesterday. (and is not even May 4th yet).
Found out phone itself is still kicking. I can call it it, but answering is very tricky.
Went on the start ADB to recover some of the data of it, images, messages, ....
but darnit, not my lucky day: USB developer option is not enabled.
Doing some more research I found this thread:
androidDOTstackexchangeDOTcomSLASHquestionsSLASH12834SLASHbroken-screen-while-debug-mode-was-disabled-how-can-i-re-enable-adb
This requires to get the Samsung S7 active into recovery mode, by using the 3-finger salute on the phone.
To enable recovery mode on the S7 you first need to power down the phone. Since you can't see the screen, the easiest is to force power down:
a) press VOL-down and power key for 7+ seconds and wait a while
b) then press VOL-up, home and power key all simultaneously. When you see a blueish line text flashing up, release all key
sit back and wait a while while the phone boots up in recovery mode.
Finally a menu will show up allowing you to select various different options, which can be selected with the VOL-up and -down keys.
I worked all this out with another older Samsung phone running , different model and older version of Android.
My 'broken' Galaxy S7 Active is running Android 8 (oreo?), maintained and updated by the AT&T automatic DFU process.
On all the Samsung phones I've looked so far the number of option and order in the recovery menu is slightly different.
Since the display is broken I can't see what is available. And I want to make sure I do not identically select the ' clean and wipe' option.
Could someone please post a pic of recovery option menu from an S7 running Android 8.
Not sure if it matters: could the Active model be different?
thanks in advance that would be really helpful.

Motorola One Action auto update failed now stuck on "Just a sec..."

Hi,
My Motorola One Action is original (so no custom firmware or rooted) and every now and then i receive auto updates. Recently the phone was upgraded to Android 11. Fine.
Last weekend there was an update and in the morning the phone was stuck on Android bootloader with the question "format" or "retry" (cannot remember exactly, but it was 2 questions) and i chose "retry". The device rebooted; android logo showed up and then the google/android assistant showed up with the notification "Hello" and a lanuage selector.
I choose NL or EN and then a white screen with "Just a sec..." appears and this screen will stay there forever. I put the phone on charger and waited 30 hours, still the same.
What i tried:
- reboot;
- press & hold power button long time; reboot;
- turn off and then volume Down + Power key bootloader. There isnt much i can do here;
- from screen above; go to fastboot mode (volume Up + power) but unfortunately there is no whipe cache option; only whipe data / factory reset.
FYI: there are still a lot of photo's on the device; i dont want a factory reset and/or whipe data.
I put device in bootloader mode again, connect with usb and installed "Rescue and Smart Assistant". The device recognized, IMEI is found and more stuff. In this Windows app i can download the correct firmware; i store it in c:/motorola/firware. The file is troika_reteu_rsbs31.q1-48-36-23-2_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip
The the "Start Rescue" button is shown; but the message "Flashing removes all data from device".
I dont want that so i followed this guide:
The conversion went OK and executed the file generated (.bat), immediately a upload process starts; this takes about 5-6 minutes. After that; a device reboot and still... the same result.
Any tips or advice would be very helpful (i hope).

I found this; looks promising

But unfortunately the image browser does not respond.

I have contacted Motorola / Lenovo using their forum. In short their answer is that for almost sure the only way is to completely reset the device that means whiping data.
Is there absolutely no way to access the data partition?

I used ADB to flash a newer and older version of android.
Both version gave a error message directly when phone powered on.
Then i re-installed the current version of android; phone worked again. Unfortunately all data lost.
