Is my HTC One bricked/soft-bricked. When I power off and then back on, all I see is the HTC log for 2 sec's; then it jumps back to the boot screen as if I held the power button plus vol down.
Is there any way I can reinstall my sprint software and get my phone working again? If so,what is the Easiest Way to go about fixing this. Little skills when it come to installing rom to android.
Please Help

What were you trying to do?
Power it off, then hold the power and vol down til you get to the bootloader. Run the RUU

Are you in the bootloader screen or the recovery? To get to the bootloader pull the battery and hold the power and volume down buttons.

If you can`t get into fastboot mode or boot up there is nothing you can do anymore and you have to turn it in for repair imo. Maybe someone else knows more about his but i can`t see a solution based on your info.
Keep your finger pressed on the power button and the lights will flash still keep it pressed they then stop flashing and phone will turn off about ten to fifteen seconds holding should do it. Once they go out let go of power button and press volume down button keeping it pressed until boot screen appears

What did you do to unroot it to stock?
Take your phone and place it under a bright light and hold the power button down for 15 sec till it vibrates then boot into bootloader

Please help,
I was screwing around in TWRP and instead of doing a normal factory reset I ticked system as well... Instead of reading the clear message of no OS i decided to reboot into OS and now stuck on HTC logo screen with no way to go into TWRP, recovery or any other mode.
ADB doesn't list the device, Power button doesn't shut off screen or device
Please help me out as I have no idea how to restore it to any workable state.

How long are you holding them? Also, try holding down power with the phone under a bright light.

About 10 seconds which is what it normally would take to go into recovery.
This is room is always brightly lit so no effect

That is not long enough my friend. In your situation, it can take a minute or two, and even normally it's more like 15 seconds.
Keep power button pressed - You should see the back and home buttons blink and you should be able to get into hboot

I see the buttons blink but what else do i need to do to get into hboot? Does it need to be connected to PC? And how long after blinking starts should I hold? Tried with volume down to no success before
Try holding the proximity sensor directly under a bright light. Just being in a lit room isn't always enough. Hold volume down and power till the home and back start flashing. Do not let go until the phone is off. Now let go. Hold both buttons again until you see the bootloader.

Wow you really have to be close to a light source, in 15 seconds it shutdown without problems. I'm in bootloader now, could someone tell me what to do from here on

Boot into recovery.
Download a ROM on pc.
Put ROM in adb/fastboot folder.
Connect phone to PC.
Open a command prompt in the folder ( hold shift and right click - open command prompt here).
"adb devices"
It should list your phone.
"adb push your-rom-here.zip /sdcard/"
It'll look like its not doing anything for a while, be patient it can take some time.
When it's done, us twrp to flash the ROM like normal.

i was going to upgrade my twrp. well i flashed the wrong one and now i have a great paperweight.
will not boot
when plugged into the computer it shows the charging light
when i hold the power button it will viberate like its powering up but it doesnt. if you hold the power button down longer it will viberate again.
does not connect adb
holding both volume buttons and power does nothing
holding down volume and power does nothing either.
google isnt helping and ive gone 15 pages back on the forums
i think ive created my own brick after 5 years of no problems.
does anyone have any ideas?
Try and see if u can get into the hboot

i have tried getting into everything. nothing is responding. screen is dark,,,,nothing
Try an ruu. I don't think that flashing a wrong recovery can cause a hard brick. If it shows the charging light the hboot is ok (I think). Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460013

ya i tried the ruu and because the phone is not even registering on the computer it wasnt possible. thanks for the input tho. i cant even get to hboot. i know if i had hboot its possible to get things going. im just out of ideas and never had a phone beat me...till now.
I don't thing flashing the wrong recovery could brick your phone either unless you flashed it to the wrong partition.
Can you post the command you used when you flashed it?
Ok, you have to fly blind here to fix it. With the phone completely powered off you need to do vol down and power like you were booting to bootloader. Phone vibrates, screen is still blank but trust me, it's in hboot now...... Now just press the power button once, even tho you see nothing it's now in bootloader. Open up cmd prompt and do fastboot devices. You will see it is registering. You can either run a ruu, or flash a proper recovery image from there. Your choice.

tried this a few times...no luck
sigh...that was an expensive mistake.
If it gets a charge light, it's not bricked. If it was just a improper recovery it shouldn't brick. I can see not having a screen display but it's not bricked. Recovery partition is one of the very last partitions in the boot chain and hboot isn't corrupted. Keep trying to get into hboot with no display........ It's there

ive done a bit more playing around and the light doesnt turn off when unplugged...it just stays on. it was flashing earlier but is solid again. never turns green either. i gave up.
Have you tried the trick of trying to power on while holding it under a bright light? Just throwing it out there may or may not make any difference.

i did see that and i was like "huh?!?!" yes i tried that...im glad no one saw me because i think it may be one of those tricks on noobs lol kinda like telling the freshman in high school that the pool is on the roof(we didnt have a pool lol)
When you hold the power button do the cap. Lights ever start blinking at all?
Added: also, I had some bad info above. When trying to get into hboot, if the phone vibrates, it's already moved past hboot. So maybe try holding power and volume down for 6-8 seconds, let off, then press power button once. If it vibrates, you need to power it down and try again.....sorry

2. Holding it close to a bring light and hard reset.
3. Waiting for 48 hours.
4. leaving the battery to drained and then hard reset.
I can't remove the battery. and when ever i put the phone to charge it keeps rebooting over and over.

I tired pressing the volume+ down button but it goes into the splash screen, where I can choose fastboot or factory reset. But when I get there, the phone reboots before I can select anything.
When I hold the power button. I did this for at lease 2 mins. Nothing happens.

OK, what does it say on that screen? Under "locked"?
There should be h-boot version and OS version above fastboot and factory reset options. We need that info to try to help you

If it's in bootloader mode it should be fine. In order to run the .exe file your phone must be in bootloader mode. You managed togo into bootloader, so there should be no problem. If that .exe doesn't solve your issue, than it's safe to say it's a hardware issue
