Soft Bricked HTC One (URGENT)

Hey, a fellow XDA member has managed to soft brick his One. He flashed a bad zip file, and his phone boot loops. He cannot access the boot loader as he has Fast Boot turned on in Settings - Power, however he can't turn this off as he can't turn the phone on. Has anyone got any advice?

No the LEDs just flash forever

put the phone under a bright light.
hold down power, lights will flash and phone will shut down in about 15-20 seconds
then hold volume down and power to get back to bootloader

hello,
actually it's my problem. thanks MacHackz for all the help he already has done for me.
I tried that with a bright light. it worked in this way that phone really turns off, but as soon as I remove the light, it turns on again. I cannot get it into bootloader.
EDIT: I flashed the phone with MAG-light from the start of charging. screen was black, but buttons started to blink. it went into hboot, and from there I went into recovery. I went to a reboot and press power off. I'll recharge it fully, and then I'll try to sideload a new ROM.
EDIT II: I tried to charge it, but it simply wont stay off. as soon as I plug the cable in, it turns on! I manage to enter HBOOT so I went into recovery and there phone is charging. so, I'll recharge it there and upload a RUU.
does anyone has right RUU? I have EU version from UK.

Did you not make a backup before flashing ??, there is a list of roms on Mikes Android Revolution Rom post - have a look at his guide
Heres another list also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194707

htc one stuck on white boot screen

Hello,
I've just installed this ROM after wiping Cache/Delvik Cache and system wipe.
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen and I can not get back into recovery to sort it out.
I held down power & vol+ buttons to get into recovery but nothing happens. The Home & Back buttons flash after 3 seconds then nothing happens.
Any thing else I should do to get into recovery ( TWRP)
My friend whop is a member asked this question on the Developers forum and so far no luck.
we have tried the following:
This is suggested by chogardjr: Plug your phone in to charge. Don't use a USB port for power. After you plug it in try the hard reboot again.
PLEASE HELP
Just for the sake of testing... Have him hold power without holding the volume. It should force reboot, not to the bootloader, so he can get a feel for how the reboot works. It can be finicky during a bootloop cause there are processes trying to run in the background. But it should do it if you hold power long enough.
Edit:
Also find out if the charge light comes on when he plus it in.
Tried and no joy.......

The only other option I can suggest is plugging it into the PC and using adb to issue an adb reboot.
#adb reboot recovery

Hold the front top left corner of the phone under the bright light. When the phone shuts off, immediately release power button and hold volume down.

Also try rebooting under a bright light. Sound weird, but sometimes it helps.
Peace.
EDIT: We must have been typing that at the same time... lol

Wont turn on, change and reboot. HELP!!!

Three hours ago I was just using my XZ to look up something for GTA V and then I pressed the power button. After playing for about 30 mins, I tried to press the power button and it wont turn on. So I tried rebooting it but nothing happens. I charged it for about an hour and still nothing happen and the LED doesnt being light up. When I press the power button + volume up I could feel the vibrate and if I keep on continuing on hold both button i will feel it vibrate for three times. While Im charging it, the phone doesnt cool down like it stays warm. I just got this phone on September. Help please!!!
EDIT: I also tried connecting it on my PC but my PC doesnt even detect it. I wanted for 30 mins while it's plugged in and nothing happens

How do I do that?

First of all, when you repair your phone with Sony Update service, you will lose all your data!!!
- Charge your phone for 2 to 3 hours, you will only see the black screen but, it should charge.
- Download Sony Update Service, install and open.
- Choose XZ in the list.
- Plug in the data cable in your computer.
- Press and hold POWER and VOL+ button, phone will vibrate once, keep holding both buttons and you will feel 3 vibrations. Now, immediately press and hold the VOL- DOWN(-) button and plug in the data cable into your phone. Your phone should get detected by SEUS and then just repair it. If it doesn't get detected, try again.
Hope this helps

I don't know what to tell you then. I did fix my dead XZ once with this method.
Keep trying.

Yes it should still be covered under warranty take it in and get it replaced

Anyone else know a solution? I really need my phone for tomorrow......and I have no other phone to use. I have an old Galaxy s2 but my new sim card doesnt fit in it.

[Q] Flashed Rom. Now touch screen wont respond

I flashed this rom ( Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted ) . Phone booted and touch screen stopped working. I'm in a rough situation because the phone also will not reboot. I've tried holding all buttons, just the power button, the power and volume down button. No resolve. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this phone reboot (besides waiting for battery to drain lol )so I can try to install another rom and see if touch screen comes back. Thanks

You need the newest firmware it sounds like

I cant do anything with the phone though because its stuck on the lock screen. Cant touch anything and cant get it to reboot

Oh and I accidently posted in the wrong section... wasn't sure if I should just leave it up or delete it

Just ask the dev to move it....hold the power button and volume down then release power after about 7 secs and press it again but keep volume pressed the whole time to get to boot loader then go to recovery from there

that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die

Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader
If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down

The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen

If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot

I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for

hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader

Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.

Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.
Did you get it done atleast?

When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314952

Question Phone froze, powered off, and now unresponsive

Today I was in the car and using TeslAA Android Auto app on my Pixel 5a. At one point, the phone froze for a period and was unresponsive to any buttons. It then powered off, which I thought was restarting, but it never came back on. No matter what buttons I held down for how long, it was completely unresponsive. Nothing on the screen at all. I tried plugging it into my computer and when I held down the power button I could hear the USB sound on the computer. A long press (as if a hard reboot) would make it sound like I had unplugged the phone, and then pressing it again would sound like I plugged it back in. But still nothing on the screen. I have had zero issues with the phone up until now. What can I try?
I also tried power and volume down, but still nothing on the screen. It's like my screen completely died suddenly.

did you try power + vol down + vol up? all 3 at once for about 30 seconds then power on? that is a hard reset

Yeah I tried it all. I ended up realizing that for a problem like this, there's an additional year of warranty coverage, so I sent it into google for a free repair. So that was a nice surprise!
