[Q] htc one lock pattern forgotten - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a HTC o e international , I lent it to o friend , he forgot is lock pattern .
Is email and lock , and I cannot reset it becouse fast boot is on .
1.- is not stolen .
2 .- my friend is just stupid.
What can I do ?
Do I have to send it to HTC ?
Adb is off and has no root .
.

I'm thinking if you press and hold the power button and volume down untill the screen turns off, then continue to hold then it will eventually go into boot loader mode. At that point you could factory reset or go into fastboot and flash the appropriate RUU.zip

Hello
Thanks but that doesn't work becouse fast boot is on .
More ideas ?
Thanks

Connect it to your computer and try "adb reboot recovery"? It should work with fastboot on huh?

Adb is off .

Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)

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.

HTC One Bricked...Please help!

My phone was rooted and I tried installing the update to my HTC One Developer Edition. The device is now stuck on the black screen with HTC logo in the middle and 4 exclamation points (in triangles) on the 4 corners. I tried running the RUU but it can't find the device and when I try to run it via the command prompt using the zip file I get the error code "failed (remote 90 hboot pre-update please flush image again immediately)." Does anyone have experience with this and is there ANY way I can unbrick my device without sending it back to HTC for repair!? I'm really frustrated but thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also can't get into the bootloader by holding down power down and the power button. It just reboots into the same screen.

You can power off your device ?
If so, try to hold vol down, hit power to power on your device and do not release vol down.
If not, I just can tell you to wait it's run off battery, plug it in and do what i said. I had more or less the same issue and i have managed to go into the bootloader.

No I can't power down the device. I can reboot it but it just reboots into the same screen. When you say you had the same issue, you let the battery run out and then did what exactly?

I just was stucked in the splash screen. I was holding the vol down button (device off) and get to power the phone with power, but relseasing it (power, not vol down) right after he commence to boot and still hold on vol down. Then i go into bootloader menu.
I don't now if my english is good, because I'm not english :angel: But tell me if you can't understand what I mean

[Q] I think I bricked my phone :( :( - PLEASE help!

Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader
Do u reset the phone with the 4 buttons and just when it resets does your phone reboots immediately?

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.
If I press all 4 buttons without USB connected, it just reboots and gets stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" message again

Just of curiosity - which button you used to select recovery - power button or vol.up button?

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

I was going through everything you've faced yesterday. So yeah, glad I was of help to someone else as well)
This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!
- - - - - - - - - -
UPDATE: Nice! Glad to see you got the help you needed and everything's back on track!
Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.

You are 100% right. I just re-read your post, and noticed that you did mention those 2 points. I must've just read over them really quickly and didn't pay attention to the details of which buttons to press. :angel:
Thanks a ton for your help! Really appreciate it! :highfive:

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

I think what should be focused on first is getting juice back in that battery. Plug it in to the charger and let it sit for a few hours (like, at least 8 hours). It may boot loop but maybe it will still get some juice? (not sure about this..). Then you can try again to get into Flashmode. (Are you experienced in flashing stock FTF's with flashtool?)
no... i let it charge for a little and tried the volume up plus power buttom it vibrated but boot it back to sony screen.
