I have an HTC One m9 that appears to be hard bricked via a corrupted attempt to flash firmware.
If you want more details you can read here:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...erizon-htc-one-m9-marshmallow-t3316279/page52
Long story short, I think a bad USB port on my laptop sent a corrupted firmware file to my HTC One m9 and now it is completely unresponsive.
1. No lights
2. No lights when charging
3. Does not get warm when charging
4. Long press of any combination and any time does nothing. I have tried Power + Vol Up, Power + Vol Dwn, Power + Vol Up + Vol Dwn for at least 3 minutes each. Nothing
So, is there any way for me to unbrick this phone? I read about hard bricks being possible to undo by using a Riff Box and JTAG connection, but the latest HTC model I saw supported was an m7. Perhaps there is some service where I can send the phone and they can unbrick it for a modest fee?
Phone is a M9, UK SIM-free. When powered on, it shows the silver HTC logo on a black background for less than a second, then restarts, vibrates, shows the logo, repeat, etc. I can get into fastboot, and it's recognized by my PC, but can't get into recovery. Because it's S-ON I can't format any of the partitions or flash any ROMs. The stock RUUs won't touch it. The only way to shut it down is from fastboot.
I'm thinking that without some specialist tools, it's broken beyond repair?
Will it go to download mode (vol- & power)?
Nope. Can't get into download mode from fastboot either. Using vol- & power just goes into the reboot loop.

Dead phone m8. Sorry.
That's what I thought. Thanks anyway! (Wish I had S-OFF, at least I could try further troubleshooting/flashing using fastboot...!)
Even S-OFF wouldn't change your situation. You're most probably suffering from a hardware failure. Like in all other phones with the same processor, the heat of the Snapdragon 810 kills the hardware of the M9, sooner or later. And as soon as the emmc of the M9 fails, the phone starts to show the symptoms that you're describing (bootloops and no access to recovery and/or download mode).

Hello, some weeks ago I created this thread to get some help in a Lumia 930 custom rom development. So after 1238834 hours of work (ok, it's just a joke, but I spent a lot of time) and lots of research and images dumped I finally got a result . Based on @djtonka Lumia 830 Custom ROM, I created one for Lumia 930.
Some possible Questions about it:
What are the features?
Some apps removed
Continuum and Led notification enabled (registry activation required)
Some wallpaper changed
Which apps were removed?
Word, Excel, Power Point, Weather, News, Wallet, Xbox, Here Drive, Here Maps, Mix Radio and Others
What is the Variant?
000-BR
What is Windows Version?
10.0.15063.297 (Sorry, 10.0.15254.124 is no more avaliable )
Can I flash it into another phone ?
Sincerely, I don't know. You can try flash it to another Samsung eMMC phone, but You will need to backup the EFIESP partition from Your phone. But I tried to flash this ROM on my Lumia 532 DTV (which isn't Samsung eMMC) and I got a Blue Screen with Sad face
Special Thanks @Heathcliff74 for WPInternals that allowed me to do this.

Nice work. I have a 930 sitting here. Will load it up and check it out! For the LED notification I take it the windows key flashes?
FYI:
My Lumia 930 has the Toshiba eMMC. I flashed your rom to it without any issues from WP8.1. But it booted to the windows logo and hung there for almost 10min. I soft reset it several times and no boot. So I decided to run a hard reset from the "!" but the phone would reboot each time I held Vol Down in. So I flashed my backed up EFIESP partition for my variant and was able to perform a hard reset (Vol Down at boot worked...). Afterwards it booted to the blue screen with a sad face. Then I flashed your EFIESP partition only and all was good it booted quickly to the welcome screen.
Am curious though, how do you have your LED notifications active? Is it one of the capacitive buttons and what additional keys need to be added for this? I known of the ones under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Nocontrol\LedAlert...are there additional keys/values?

Well, about the rom hung in Windows boot logo, is a spected behavior, to solve this, You just need to perform a hard reset, and about the phone restarting during the hard reset, just restoring the bootloader was the enough (But reflashing the EFIESP partition is a great solution, I never considered it :good. And the led notification, in fact I never had it working, I just flashed the Cabs, Added these registry values and hoped it to works like in this video (Once that both Lumia 830 and 930 blink the Start button when battery runs out to 0%) and hope that someone had more lucky than me.

The phone brickied after flashing is a spected behavior, what you should do.
* Turn off the the phone and press Vol - and Power button until the phone vibrates, then release the power button and keep holding the vol - and a exclamation point should appear. If your phone not shows the exclamation point relock the bootloader by interrupting the boot process and relocking the bootloader with WP Internals.
* When the exclamation point appears press Vol +, Vol -, Power, Vol -. The phone must reboot and the spinning gears will apear. After this finished your phone will reboot and must be working as well.

Pleas search Lumia emergency flashing on the forum here. You'll have to manually recover it unless the WDRT can do it automatically for you.
Otherwise might be hardware issues considering your earlier post about it booting slowly
@nate0 i tried jtag phone is dead hard bricked and nothing to do
Hello everyone
I need help, I tried to unlock my boot loader and root in the process I have bricked my pixel 2xl. It doest turn on, can't boot into recovery and whatever.
Pc detects the phone as
QUALCOMM HD-USB OD LOADER 9008.
Is there any way I can get it to work?
Any lead will be much appreciated.

If you can't get it to turn on you're in trouble. But try holding the power button, like for a minute. Time yourself. If it tries to boot let go of the power button. If tries to boot but won't, then do the same think except this time continue to hold the power button until the device vibrates. It'll try to boot a few times but wait for the vibration.
Thank you. I have tried switching on, with volume key combo etc. No result.
try it ,
I tried flashing stock firmware and my curtana is now stuck on boot logo repeatedly being rebooted every second. I can neither access Fastboot nor Recovery
but my phone is being charged when connected to charger.
HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!!
Boot to EDL mode using key kombination (search for it, but usually it is vol- and vol+)
Download SP Flash tool and flash stck firmware through it.
I'm in a similar situation with my joyeuse... Did flashing with SP work? as far as I understood it supports only MediaTek CPUs, or am I overseeing something?
