[Q] Confirmed brick? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So this is quite troubling as I have just had my HTC One for a couple of days now.
So far, what I've done is:
- Revone to achieve S-OFF
- Superboot to achieve Root
- Rom Manager to achieve Custom Recovery
- Nandroid backup then flashed Android Revolution 10.2 HD
- Used it for about 24 hours without a hitch
- Decide to try Sweep2wake, logo as menu etc
- Flash teaMseven_kernel_SENSE
That's when the problem happened. I think what I neglected to think about was whether or not this kernel would be compatible with the 4.2.2 of Android Revolution ROM. The kernel flashed fine but then now when I press the power button, nothing happens except the two capacitive buttons start blinking. Same thing for Power Button + Vol Down for bootloader.
So, is this device bricked?
Thanks for your help/time.

Is not bricked, but you installed a kernel not compatible, the problem is that probably you had fastboot activated and the phone wont boot in bootloader/recovery...
Try to Hold down power only until buttons flash at least ten times, then press and hold vol-down. Release power, still holding vol-down. You should reboot into bootloader.

If that doesn't help hold the power and volume down while you hold the sensors right in front of a bright light. Hold until it boots into hboot.

Hold volume button down and then press power button. This should load fastboot and allow you to either install stock image if loaded on sdcard or get into recovery menu.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you flashed a "hero," not a "heroc" radio? They always say the only way to really brick your hero is to mess up flashing a radio :/

Is there any way to re-flash this?
Unfortunately not, without hand flashing equipment and a bit of engineering knowledge your phone is a brick. There is no way to recover it.

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo. Seems bricked. Help?

Hey everyone, first time here! (And unfortunately not a happy first post)
So, I recently got this HTC One and was trying to get back to stock ROM after a journey with CyanogenMod 10.1 (Which was awesome, but a bit laggy).
Now, I wanted to go back to stock, and so I flashed this ROM I found on these forums (that said to be a .401 version that was stock and the most recent version). Biggest problem here, I'm pretty sure I forgot to wipe data and cache.
The problem that I have right now is that my phone is stuck on the HTC logo, without me being able to shut it down...at all.
I can't boot to bootloader, can't boot to recovery, can't do anything
When I press on the power button (Tried up to a minute) the back and home button start blinking, but nothing else.
When connected to my computer, the PC seems to detect it, but I'm not able to access the storage, or do anything fastboot related.
I'm kinda afraid my phone is bricked!
Help?
Thanks
Rule #1: if it does anything.. It's not bricked
You need to hold the light sensor up to a light source (lamp, sun, and etc..) and hold down the power button till it turns off. Then boot into bootloader and get to your recovery and wipe/re flash

Wow! Thanks for quick response!
I was able to shut down the phone and get it to restart, but I'm not able to boot into the bootloader (holding volume down)
It just goes back to the HTC Screen (the one with Beats logo)
Just want to say thanks a ton!
I was able to boot back in the phone!
Thank you!
Lucky you! Rule #2....whenever rooting your stock ROM for the first time, boot up, then take a Nandroid, and keep one copy on SDcard and your computer!
And maybe going first with popular and proven Custom ROMs, close to stock. And taking a Nandroid of that one as well!
Glad you got it all sorted
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Awesome! Thanks for the tips!
Weird thing, I was able to flash Cyanogen, no problemo (since I didn't forget to wipe cache, etc.)
The other ROM I used was supposed to be a stock image (I had found another one that worked, but I thought the one I found later tonight was closer to the version that came with the phone).
Anyway, long story short, I'm a noob, and that's ok!
Thanks to everyone for the help!

Thanks for this, phone just randomly restarted after a crash and ended up at an error screen. No matter how long I held the power button down it wouldn't restart. I'm in a dark hotel room, so held it up to the window and it restarted immediately. 30 minutes of panic over

Wow. I have to say I was stuck at the HTC Boot logo to no avail (blinking capacitive buttons) and holding it up to a light source actually worked (while holding down power). Thanks so much.

[Q] Bricked device, please help

Hello,
I have a problem with my Xperia Z. I was trying to flash boot.img from the PAC-rom right after unlocking my bootloader. I rebooted after unlocking, powered off back to fastboot, but i forgot to turn on usb-debugging (for which i gave myself a lot of facepalms). Then i flashed the boot.img, rebooted in the hope of getting to TWRP-recovery, nut i had to give myself another facepalm. The device is on, at least, the backlight is on, but i have a black screen. Power button does nothing, held it for at least 30 secs but still nothing.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance

Hard power off by pressing Power and Volume up together until the phone vibrates three times.
Download a kernel with recovery, and flash it. Now you will have a kernel, with recovery, no rom, though. I think I never had the need to enable USB debugging. That's on OS level, fastboot is on bootloader level if I'm not mistaken.
Just in case, you enter recovery by pressing volume up after the purple light while phone is booting. After that, you can flash whatever from recovery.
IF you stil have troubles, flash stock using EMMA Flashtool and start over. Read the instructions carefully.
Press power + volume up for 15 seconds till you have 3 vibrations,this will shutdown your phone.
To access to recovery you have to press volume down several times while booting and when you see the led.
You can go back stock using flashtool.

Stuck in ROM install load screen- Can't get to Bootloader

I posted this in ATT HTC One, but it's not getting any attention.
Unlocked and rooted my phone last night using the latest version of TWRP. I mistakenly (not knowing at the time) used the Cyanogenmod installer kit which gave me an error during install. Now my phone is stuck on that spinning CM loading screen. When I go to get into the bootloader (power + volume down) my phone restarts and goes to the bright HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom, then goes right back to the CM loading screen and not into the bootloader menu like I want.
I have not yet tried the trick of holding the phone near bright lights to try and get it into bootloader. The USB cable I think is fine as well and not a cause of anything.
Any suggestions please? I have searched through this forum a lot, but haven't found this exact problem yet.

Ok you dont need to worry abt this. You need to Press (Power + Volume Down) till your phone restarts and then just leave the power button but keep holding the volume down button and it will take you to the Fastboot Mode and from there you can go to recovery and flash another Compatible ROM or do RUU. Hope it helps:good:
Thank you! I will try this tonight.
Others have also said I need to do this under a bright light, too.

[Q] HTC Desire 500 DualSIM Problem

I am having problem with HTC Desire 500 DualSIM (hboot 1.3). It does not show anything after pressing pressing POWER on button. The orange charging LED blinks while charging.
What I have successfully done:
-Unlocked the device (from htcdev.com).
-Flashed CWM. (for hboot 1.3)
-Flashed custom ROM. (z4dug_CleaN_hboot1.03)
The device started after the ROM was flashed. It was totally operable and everything was functional. I wanted to install INT2EXT+. I turned off the phone, because I would need to go into recovery. After turning off the phone it would not start. I could not get into recovery. Now only a orange LED blinks while charging.
Note: I did not install INT2EXT+ before, I just flashed the ROM to see if the phone would run.
What I have tried:
-Entering recovery (Power + Volume Down) [Unsuccessfull]
-Pressing power button quickly [It did not boot up the phone. It is just vibrating.]
I am currently charging the phone and after some time it vibrates for 7 times.
as far as I know, the only fix is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-500/general/dual-sim-fix-dual-sim-bootup-problem-t2924591
you need to s-off first, and for that you'll need to get it to boot (for me it used to work by removing the battery for 5-10 minutes then putting it back in, plugging it in and holding volume + power
