Way to check if bootloader unlocked? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I followed the directions on htc dev and followed the unlocking of the bootloader, and got on the screen that asked to confirm whether to unlock or it not.
i pressed power but a press didnt do much so i held it for longer, then i'd press it again and eventually it powered off but nothing happened or any confirmation.
is there any way to know if it's unlocked?
cheers!

DUMB question sorry, feel free to remove, when i started the phone had been reset so i guess it worked then. sorry i'm high

if this was your phone would you quit that easily?
Well, if you can still get into bootloader mode your fine. I'd reflash to the original htc rom and use a different spl, something safe like hard spl ver.1.1, never heard of anyone using nuke spl
Yes, confirm if you can get into bootloader by holding down the camera button while pushing the stylus in the reset hole. If done correctly, you should be at a tri-colored screen. Now, just flash back the original ROM and you should be set
What is NukeSPL? Never heard of it. It sounds bad. I never remember running a NukeSPL to HardSPL my Kaiser.
Never seen a Nukespl anywhere, and apparently Google either. Where did you get that from?
I don't even know the definition of "brick". Everyone (not everyone but most people) say they bricked their phone when they are simply stuck in bootloader. l
In my eyes a bricked device is one that doesn't turn on because you fried the board, resistors, capacitors, or whatever within...
sorry nuespl not nuke from this site.and no cant get into bootloder or anything just a green led on top of phone.
Just to confirm, you have a blank screen upon booting with a green light, that means it's still "alive". Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the camera button and the power button then clicking the soft reset button on the bottom of the device, that should give you a tri colored sceen, from there, plug in the usb to your laptop or desktop and flash the official htc rom...and Never use Nuke spl Ever again, sounds like a poorly coded spl or even malware

no all that happens when i press the camrea power and reset it is the green light goes out.

You need to quickly learn that something meant for the TITAN will brick your KAISER!! If you look the thread is for Titan ppc so if you ran that on a Kaiser it will and did brick the phone.
Only use stuff that is developed for your particular PPC. You need to do much more reading before doing anything that can damaged your hardware.
umm from the site you showed it seems that it was meant for the Titan.. at least thats what i got from looking at the pictures and posts..
arr i have the tytn 2 thought they were the same phone. how dumb of me, so its total dead then. will have to do more reading then and wait for the 3rd phone to turn up. 3rd time lucky lol.
I had a similar experience with my Kaiser a week ago and thought it was dead, just keep trying to get it into tri colored bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons then holding the soft reset button, it didn't work for me the first or even tenth time before it shut down, but once I got it into bootloader and reflashed, It's alive
will try that got till monday before i can send it back.
I just want to remind people that Camera button should be fully depressed. It have two stages of pressed, Half-Press and Full-Press

[Q] Hold To Boot Power Button On Nexus One

Hi.
Any ideas on how to get the "hold to boot" function back after unlocking a Nexus One?
It's really annoying, that the phone boots by just touching the power button.
If I'm not sure, my phone is off, the only way to check it is by pressing the power button once to get the screen to go on. But if it's off, it starts booting.
Thread moved in Nexus One Q&A.
I know it's not what you've asked for, but one way around it would be to use CPUStatusLED. That way if the LED is not ON, you know the phone is OFF
Um... even stock there's no "hold to boot" function. Simply tapping the power button will turn it on.

Actually, you're wrong. A stock, non-rooted, "locked" one requires you to hold the power button for a while to boot. It's when you unlock the phone with fastboot "oem unlock" when it changes.

Does it eat up battery too much?
Dunno about yours but when it was stock, mine just turned on pushing the power button
A workaround could be, enabling your phone to wake using the trackball. You could check that way

This was how YOURS behaved, or you know this for a fact? I know my N1 starts up with just a press.
I rarely turn it off, however....

The reason I always press the power button, is because I got used to confirm the phone was off, prior rooting. I bought a non carrier one, maybe the carrier versions are different.
I tried the trackball method, but I keep pressing it accidentally on my pocket.
I'm tring the CPU LED one now.
But I would actually prefer one, that just blinks a blue light every few seconds.
Has anyone created one to do that?
Oh, and thanks for the suggestions.

Well, mine did. As well as my old ADP1 did prior rooting.
Mine never worked like that when it was stock and locked. One single, fast press and it booted.
CPU statusled is probably a good solution, or just trackball wake.
Well mine was unlocked as soon as i removed it from the charger, but i dont remember longpressing. Anw, i will have to agree with trackball wake

My One keep restarting and stuck at HTC screen

Hey guys,
So I have had my One more than a year, never root, never install any mod in it, just simple, daily use. It worked well till last night when some weird thing happened:
- At first, the Back, Home and HTC buttons keep flashing along with the screen. When I unlock my screen pass lock and go to the home screen, it showed a notification like "To restart the phone, keep pushing the power button for (x) second" with x is the count down number. After that, the phone is automatically rebooting, then the problem happen again.
- After a few times, I manage to shut it down properly then turn the phone up. As I notice, as long as I doing something with the phone such as calling somebody or checking facebook or simply sliding the home screen, thing is normal. But as I stopped using it, that weird notification pop up again
- The phone keep restarting after that, again and again. Sometime it boot successful, but when Im go to the home screen, the notification shows up and my phone restarts again. As I couldnt turn off my phone, it is drained and out of battery.
- This morning, I put the cable in and try to charge it, and My One now stuck at the first HTC logo screen then restarting and then stuck again. That looping process is drive me crazy. As I try to pull out the cable, the phone is not working (Obviously) since it is out of battery.
- As I hold down Power and Volume down, I can enter bootloader screen. I saw a "locked" banner and cannot navigate through the menu and can not press Fastboot or anything. After 2-3 seconds, the phone is shut down and keep looping.
Long story shot, can anybody tell me how to fix this. As I have a lot of pictures that havent been backed up, I really appreciate if I can keep everything without doing a factory reset. Oddly enough, I cant even do a factory reset since the bootloader is not working.
Please help.
Have you tried a factory reset?
On boot, bottom down n power will take u to fastboot.
You can do a factory reset from there.
HTC sync can save your stuff.

As I mentioned above, I can hardly do anything from that fastboot screen. Up, down and power button is not working as I cannot navigate to recovery or factory reset. Even pushing power button wont do.
When I connect the phone to PC, nothing happen. It is because the phone is out of battery i suppose?
The problem is when I start to charge the phone, it will keep looping. But if I dont, the phone is death and I cant do anything.
I honestly dont know. I suspect you have
Fast boot selected under Settings>power.
You've got to try till you can get into fastboot otherwise send it for repairs.

Because this is exactly the message we usually get when holding the power button for more then 5 sec...
and that would explain the reboot issue
looks like the "power" key is always active
definitively sounds like an hardware issue imo
and your issue is even present in bootloader what confirm that this is an hardware defect.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader hard bricked my moto x

So....
I think I hard bricked my 1st gen moto x. I was in the process of unlocking the bootloader using motorolla's guide and everything was going fine. i had the "unlock..." (or "unlocked..." i forget what it actually said) showing on my screen and just out of habit, i hit the power button as i put the phone down.
now, nothing.
nothing at all. no recovery mode, no nothing. does anyone have any suggestions? i've tried holding down power and vol down for 5 min. i've tried pushing random buttons. i've tried praying to the motorolla gods.
Is your phone the developer edition?

Press and hold the volume down button simultaneously with the power button for about 5 seconds then release. Can you get into bootloader mode?

This sounds like a hardware failure, maybe a battery failure or a charging port failure. Like someone else suggested, try a different charger and see what happens.
Is it still under warranty?

Depends on the state - in many states in the US, a manufacturer cannot void a warranty if the product failure/defect has nothing to do with why the manufacturer wants to void the warranty.
Since unlocking a bootloader has nothing to do with a battery failure, in those states where the law is as I stated above, Motorola cannot void the warranty. Now the average Joe may not know this and may not know how to sue Motorola if they won't honor the warranty, but if you do know this and do know how to file a small claims case against Motorola, then you would win in those states.
So it is not across the board true that you void your warranty if you unlock your bootloader and don't have a dev ed. It depends on the state and what is wrong with your phone.
Happened once to my Galaxy Nexus, solved with Odin. I don't know if there's such thing for Motorola devices :/
Odin can reconize the phone when powered off, that's why it worked.
i had no fastboot, recovery or battery icon when plugged to charger

Keep it plugged in, if it is totally drained, it will not turn on for a while until it gets charged to a safe level. Then after awhile on the charger, try to get into bootloader mode.

Good point. I have the old gnex. I just always used fastboot. Never read about anyone using Odin the whole time I used it. Always learn something new!
Same thing just happened to me. It was displaying blue "unlock..." then just froze. Absolutely nothing, just a black screen. Can't get into any bootloader or recovery. I really hope this phone is not totally screwed now. Any of you guys have any luck?

Android 11/R Beta Bricked my P4XL today

If anyone knows how to fix this please help. I'm researching it now but I'm making this thread in hopes someone knows what I need to do.
I can boot the device and it gets to the lock screen and I can unlock it but then it keeps turning the screen off and going back to the lock screen. If I don't touch it it will continue to do this in a loop. If I press the power button it will turn the screen off and stay off. If I unlock the former process repeats and I can't do anything. I can restart the phone, or power it off. When I go to fastboot mode I can't find anywhere to factory reset it. I try to enter rescue or recovery mode and it justs boots to a screen with a dead android and says "no command".
I'm assuming I'm going to have to use adb to fix it. I've done this with phones in the past but I know nothing about the P4XL and haven't messed with my phones in a geeky manner in quite a while so my knowledge is rusty.
PS. The android 11 beta ran fine for a few days besides some normal bugs. All in all it worked fine. This problem randomly happened today while I was using soundcloud hooked to my JBL boombox.
Evidently I'm the only person in the world who has a bricked Pixel 4 XL with android 11 because I'm not finding any info on how to fix it. I'm not even finding anyone with the same problem.

When you are in the phase with the dead android and the "no command" hold the power button and just click the volume up button so you can go to the advanced recovery menu and from there hard reset your phone or install via adb an other rom.
Cheers.

You shouldn't root or be installing beta software on your phone if you filed an insurance claim over a soft brick.
