[Q] HTC One Bricked (bootloop)

Hello folks,
During update from Revolution HD 3.4 to 3.5 something went wrong and process stopped before it got finished. Now I ended up in bootloop, even recovery is not working. I've tried to use RUU but failed on CID verification as I'm having the phone from 3 IE. Is any chance to bring it back to life or i just got very expensive paper weight ?
Or if anyone can provide RUU for 3 IE I'm willing to pay for it.
Bad day, bad day...
Thank you for any advice.

I can see the recovery screen (clockworkmod) for about 0.1 second and it reboots again.

Thanks, for hint. Got recovery working again
What I have done.
1.) Unlocked, re-locked bootloader.. (i think this did the trick, full wipe ?)
2.) Wiped cache
3.) Re-flash clockworkmod
4.) Upload ROM using sideload.
Now the phone is back. I hope i will not break something again.

Hi, I am having the same issue with my phone as of right now. I tried re-locking bootloader and then unlocking again and also reflashing clockwork and I am still getting the bootloop and cannot access recovery (flashes for 0.1 secs and then disappears).
What exactly did you do to fix the issue?

Hi Riyal,
I have fixed that issue with fastboot erase cache. Now, I am having a problem loading a ROM because it states in recovery that it "can't mount SD card"?

Figured it out, I just had to ADB push a stock rom and then re-wipe/re-flash

I had the same problem, going to try to sideload this stock de-odexed rom (didn't work the first few times) and CHILL THE PHUCK out until AOKP.
scared me lol first HTC device, brand new, and I thought I broke it.
P.S I realized that REVOHD uses AROMA, that's why it wouldn't sideload.... Am I Rite?

Similar issue

My HTC One device is actually suffering the same problem.
I bought my HTC One Sprint(Sim-Free Edition) in the US and got it to India.
But after I inserted my Indian Sim it said ''SIM LOCK ENABLED''.....I just got frustrated and
rooted the device and tried to install ''Android RevolutionHD (Odexed)'' Stock ROM with the help of TWRP.
But after I installed the stock rom, my device is just showing the HTC symbol and hanging there itself.
It Hangs there for around 6-7mins and reboots and the same happens again.
The only thing I can do is to get in to the bootloader and Power OFF the Device.
Any Help???? Please..... just having a costly paper weight since 2 weeks.
Please need help urgently....!!!

Hi
Greetings,
Did you flashed boot.IMG if no
Extract the boot.img from the Rom
Copy that file to abd/fastboot folder
Now connect you phone with pc with your phone booted in fastboot/bootloader,
Later flash boot.img by following command
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot and your done
If you do not know how to use abd search for it

The Sprint version is never going to work on any carrier other than Sprint. It's a CDMA device. The sim slot if for connecting to Sprint's LTE network, but requires a CDMA connection first and foremost to work at all.

Quickest and easiest way to fix this issue is...

'fastboot reboot recovery'

I'm stuck on the same boat :\
I was able to finally boot into CWM recovery but I'm getting write errors all over the place.
I used the AIO Kit to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it - Reflashed CWM - Tried to sideload ARHD 10.0 but the DOS prompt errors out saying that it cannot find my device.
Little help?

i was going through the same thing yesterday and i thought i had bricked my phone. what i did that finally worked, was unplugging the usb, restarting the computer, reinstalling htc drivers, then restarting the computer, then using a different usb port. i was finally able to sideload ARHD whereas before i could do fastboot commands, but it wasn't responding to the sideload, and wasn't able to mount the sdcard, so i thought i was screwed. :good:

Thanks for the tip, I was able to get back into AROMA but the original issue that got me to this point came up again. Aroma installer runs and during the install it kicks itself out and sends me back to recovery, so the installer doesn't complete. It gets to about 30% and craps out just after it writes system data and starts to install the .apk's. Screen goes black and it reboots itself and sends me to recovery.
thoughts?

[Q] One is stuck in bootloader

I just got my HTC One less than a week ago, rooted and flashed my first ROM with no issues. Decided to try out a different one today, but after flashing it, my phone rebooted into bootloader and has been stuck there. Anytime I try to reboot the phone or reboot into recovery, it just goes back to the bootloader screen. Same thing when I attempt a factory reset. I've tried reinstalling TWRP recovery and although it says the install is successful, it's still stuck in bootloader. I also tried to install my previous ROM via fastboot command (which is failing), but to no avail. I got the following output:
sending 'zip' (994092 KB)...
OKAY [ 38.486s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
finished. total time: 54.083s
I'm on the Sprint version, and I'm aware that 4.2 ROMs don't work on Sprint yet so I'd be using older versions of them for the time being, but I guess I inadvertently used an incorrect version.
Any ideas?

hmm...must really be bricked. :-\

if it is booting into bootloader, it is not bricked...
try connecting your USB cable , select fastboot in bootloader... it should show the FASTBOOT USB
now on your PC, where you have the ADB/Fasboot files, SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK on that folder and select Open command window here.
In command window, enter FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE
and try booting again...it might work.....

Try using the HTC one AIO toolkit to flash a new recovery and see if that helps.
It uses the FASTBOOT method to flash. Plus you have options to try CWM and TWRP.
If that works you should be able to flash a different rom to get your device up and running

When I click to flash a recovery, it gives me a prompt that there will be 2 screens and to close the 1st one once I'm in bootloader...I do that, then the 2nd screen comes up but nothing happens. Same thing for both the Sprint options

You need to be in the fastboot menu not bootloader menu.

hmmmmm thats strange.
What you could try is download one of the recoveries and unzip the file so you get the .img file of that recovery.
Then try to flash your own recovery option. see if that works

Profit! Turns out the flash your own recovery option worked, I just didn't follow it all the way through, initially...after I closed the command prompt screen, the Open file menu came up and I was able to pick my TWRP recovery and boot into it. I restored my backup I made right before flashing the bad ROM and the phone is booting past the bootloader now
But.....next issue is that it's booting to a black screen instead of the regular lock screen, and after sitting there in that state for a few minutes, it reboots. :-\ I'm wondering if this is just because I deactivated the phone and switched back to my EVO LTE while trying to fix the One...that would be a first, though, as the phones are usually operational even if they don't have service.

Glad to hear the recovery worked. As for the phone staying on black. I would just advice to flash a nother rom if the problem still persists mate

Well, flashing and restoring didn't quite work, so I wound up having to do a factory reset (thankfully I had all my files on my PC from when I had to move them from my EVO, and since I'd only upgraded a few days ago, I didn't lose a whole lot) and a re-lock of the bootloader.
Only weird thing is, even re-locking it, the phone remained in S-OFF state. But I was able to rerun the HTC Dev Unlock to unlock the bootloader again and flashed a correct ROM. Back in business.
Thanks for your help...that toolkit you linked me to saved my ass.

No problem man glad I could help

To be S-ON again you need to reboot into bootloader
Then FASTBOOT USB
then run fastboot and write "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and enter. Now you will be S-ON

But do NOT S-ON unless you absolutely need to.

[Q] Soft brick, possibly hard brick.

Hello. I tried to sideload a ROM on my HTC ONE. Now the phone wont boot, and I can't get into recovery. According to ADB my phone registers as being in recovery, so I don't think it's hard bricked. This is the first HTC phone I have, so I'm not sure what to do. What should I do?

What recovery and version are you using? And are you booting into recovery using the power+volume keys, or by some other procedure?

I can't get into recovery, no matter what I do. Trying to use a RUU file, but I get an USB 170 error. I have tried googling how to fix it, but can't find anything. I use TWRP. All I get on my phone is a black screen.

[Q] How do I fix this

I tried to install a Viper rom (the latest one) but it kept saying error and when I went back to reboot it said that my phone might be unrooted and there was a button that said FIX and a button that said No, reboot and another one that said go back. Through hesitation, I clicked go back on accident and it rebooted. I don't know why but it got stuck on bootloop. Now I stopped the boot loop by holding down the power button and the down volume key at the same time to go back to the bootloader. Now, my problem is, how can I fix everything? I can't boot back to recovery because it goes on a boot loop and I can't factory reset either. I tried using HTC One All in one toolkit but it doesn't recognize my device. It keeps saying "Error: device not found" but my phone clearly says Fastboot USB. I need help ASAP

First of all, don't use a toolkit. They rob you of the understanding you need to fix problems like this.
- You should be able to use fastboot to boot recovery. Can you?
- Did fastboot/USB connection ever work for you? How about adb?
- If you get fastboot working (drivers?), you can clear the cache with "fastboot format cache".
- If you can't boot recovery to do the other steps (factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache), you have bigger problems. But I think these steps CAN be done from the bootloader. Maybe not all of them--I'm not sure what will work and what won't, as far as various combinations of "fastboot erase dalvik / fastboot format userdata / fastboot erase userdata", etc.
- First, focus on booting recovery. Get fastboot working and clear the cache if you need to.
- Note that IF you can factory reset through fastboot (I'm not sure you can), it will wipe /sdcard as well.

adb doesn't recognize my device. I don't know why. I can't boot to recovery either.
