I bought an HTC one on the weekend. I bought the Bell version since it was $50 cheaper than the Rogers one so while I was waiting for my unlock code, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed CM10.1.
When I received my unlock code from HTCOnlineUnlock.com, it wouldn't work and they said if I was using a custom ROM, that was likely the problem.
So I downloaded the original Bell M7 rom from the bugsy lawson website, booted into CWM and tried to install it.
It hung on "running bug_fix1" for a long time. So I reset it and now it will not turn on.
I've tried holding the power button, holding down vol+power, but nothing happens. No flashing buttons at the bottom, no LED at the top.
When I plug the phone into my computer via USB, HTC sync manager opens, and the device shows up in windows device manager under Android USB Devices / My HTC, but does not show up as a drive under My Computer.
Any suggestions??
Just a heads up unlock codes usually only work on sense roms...but lemme see your problem again gimme a sec

Thanks for the help! I've been pulling my hair out over here.
No doesnt look like either detect the device. I've attached a picture.
I had the same problem but with the phone charging. I unplug and before I turn it on there was no way to turn until I connect via usb to the pc
Maybe @18th.abn has some insight if the computer can detect the phone.. sorry for calling on you hehe

Hi,
I had Nik 4.5 Custom ROM on my phone and recently I my USB port stopped functioning. To revert to S-on and claim warranty, I tried to revert to stock ROM and flashed Froyo ROM (as that was the only Indian ROM available for download on the forum). I think I made the mistake of downgrading the radio and now my phone is bricked. Any suggestions to make it work again? If I take it to HTC service centre will my they be able to detect any s-off mischief that I committed and can they fix the phone and the USB port?
Thanks in advance.

I followed the following steps:
1. I downloaded the ROM
2. Renamed it as PG32IMG.zip and placed it in the Root of the SD Card
3. Switched off the phone and took out SD card and then put it back again
4. Rebooted the phone in fastboot and updated the zip file. The update was completed successfully.
5. Followed the on screen instruction and rebooted the phone.
As this point the phone was not powering on. I double checked if the battery wasn't charged. I also used my charged spare battery (I use it since, my phone doesnt charge from USB port).
I assume the phone is bricked now... Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, what you flashed was an old Froyo based RUU. If you had been running Gingerbread then you had a Gingerbread radio and that radio cannot be downgraded back to Froyo. By running this RUU you have radio bricked your phone.
try if u can boot into the bootloader by poweron and volume down button even if that is not possible then sorry bro i guess then we cant help u..

I don't know any other purpose for the service centre, but yes... they do fix phones.
The service centre fixed my bricked phone free of charge! They replaced the PCB and some other hardware which they did not disclose. Of course I had to escalate the matter to HTC escalation department and they were really
Kind in getting it fixed although it was out of warranty. I love HTC!

I'm sure there is a similar thread out there, but this is a weird situation.
To start i want to say I have never flashed a rom or messed with my OS in any way. I was using my htc one m7 as it ran out of battery, it wasn't updating or anything, but ever since, it boots straight to the bootloader screen. The problem is that none of the normal options here (fastboot, revovery, factory reset etc) do anything other than bring me back to the bootloader screen, or sometimes do nothing at all.
I also cannot take any of the advice in other threads for similar topics because when its plugged into my laptop it makes the plugged in/ unplugged noises but never gets recognized at all.
It seems bricked but I definitely haven't done anything to warrant it.
Can you select recovery and and perform factory reset?

Nvmd. See what you are saying now. I am kind of in the same boat at the moment.

The only difference is that I can't even get to the bootloader screen. I am stuck on the silver htc screen with exclamation marks in the corners. Have you tried running the RUU that matches your hboot version? Do you have a Sprint m7?
It's an AT&T one. Its not being recognized by my laptop either so I'm not sure if its still possible to run the RUU.

It only says HTC and then goes to the android bootloader screen. I was just at an AT&T store and the guy thinks the recovery is either gone or damaged which is why nothing on the bootloader screen seems to work. apparently i need to root it and make a custom recovery but I have no idea how.

So I tried a different cable and same thing. Computer won't recognize the device. It does charge though so I guess that's good. My computer is saying there is an error with my device. I have an idea, if I go to recovery mode and wipe everything and then try to plug it in, will it recognize my device? I'll make sure to make a backup before I do that

Do you have access to different computer, any PC , just trying to find out if there is nothing wrong with phone. Seems to me like PC or cable problem but i want to be sure. I had similar problem with note 10.1. I change 4 cables then finally got one working. If all file you can try to wipe just make sure you will have working rom in case if that is hardware or usb port in your phone not working. Also you can try flash rom true Mobile Odin.

I can't answer this question because i personally never done this but people claimed they done this. Just search more in XDA forum if this can be done on At&t S5.

It's definitely not the pc. This other pc is also not recognizing it even after drivers are installed. It says the device has malfunctioned. So I'm guessing it's something wrong with my phone. I would bring it back to AT&T but I have to get it back to stock before that so I can keep my warranty.

long press the power button for about 20 seconds. after about 3-4 seconds, press volume down as well. this should reboot your device into the bootloader. try it.

My Sony Xperia z1s just decided to bootloop today for no apparent reason. May be an issue with the 5.0 version it runs? It powers on, shows the Sony screen, then the screen goes blank (black screen, backlit) before going completely to black, then back to the Sony screen again. I'm having a hard time getting Command Prompt to read it, and with this sh***y locked bootloader, I feel like my hands are tied. The phone is rooted, and on stock ROM of course. I'm used to my Huawei and flashing ROMs, fixing soft bricking and whatnot, but it's a factory unlocked device, not this Sony-Tmobile locked carrier crap. I'm less familiar with dealing with this sort of thing. I've already tried pressing down the red button next to the SIM, no dice. I've hard reset using Vol+ and power. Pretty much the extent of what I've done, other than swearing at it. I just want this thing working again, I'm so tired of having to deal with it. First its horrid touchscreen, now this. Running PC Companion seems to be suggested in a lot of places, but would that even work correctly for a rooted phone? I'm open for any suggestions on what to try at this point.
Did you flashed any ftf file using flashmode

I have not. Been afraid to touch it, don't want to make things worse until someone who knows more than me says what my first step should be. Not sure if it's even working correctly, the flashmode led flickers on and off quickly before it goes completely off.
U can use Flashtool without being afraid

Been attempting to use it, but it doesn't appear to be working (I have a locked bootloader). Keeps saying 'no loader found for this device'. I've gotten all the drivers that I know of that I'd need for this, for my computer as well as the flashtool drivers (flashmode, fastboot, and common drivers for Rhine board). The phone is stock + locked bootloader, I'm really feeling this thing is headed for the garbage. :/
