Hey guys, got a problem with my M7.
My phone was working fine. Was getting ready to flash a new rom. I moved the .zip into my root folder.
Went to reboot my phone into recovery to flash it, but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. Powered off, booted into bootloader. Tried to enter recovery through bootloader, but I still get stuck on the white HTC screen.
Any ideas?
edit: and now, the phone won't boot at all ...

Well I'm pretty sure just copying a rom to the phone didn't do anything to it. what else happened between then and now
Nothing at all. Here's basically what I did.
1. Backed up phone in recovery.
2. Reboot.
3. Loaded rom to /root using computer.
4. Attempt to boot in recovery ..
And that's it.

is the battery dead ?
does the pc load any drivers when you plug it in ?
does the charging lights work ?
Nope, charging lights do not work ... It wasn't a full battery, but was around 70% last I remember.
Ok, was able to boot using the bright light method.
Still no dice on booting past the white HTC screen. When I try to boot to TWRP through the bootloader, it'll show the TWRP splash screen, then automatically go back to the white HTC screen.

Reflash recovery and erase cache
you may have to format data in TWRP and totally wipe the phone.
also flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset from stock will rebuild the partitions and sometimes make the phone stable again

When you say you mounted the the sdcard on your phone did you do it in recovery using the command "ums_enable" or did you reboot the phone so you could do it from the Android OS, if you allowed the phone to fully reboot it will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock recovery image

after i flashed the recovery and what not.
i turned my phone off home and power got me to recovery
so i restarted my phone and put the rom on the sdcard from my computer.
so thats the wrong way to do it?
so i should it in recovery from now on?
Once you flash your recovery, don't allow your phone to fully reboot or the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery you just installed
So make sure all the zip files you are going to need are already on you're sd card when you reboot to recovery
I rooted my mums ace using this method. However I didn't install CWM, I just went straight ahead and stupidly installed the .zip straight from the recovery mode utility. I'm trying to install this ROM.
Now I'm stuck at this step and I think I may have softbricked it.... Youtube clip below:
http://youtu.be/gB-mfeePNRA
Basically it turns on, the sammy logo comes up and then it goes red and lines out. Then it just sits there with the backlight on.
I have a download jig at hand if I need it, so I can access download mode and I have the SD card to use.
Update: installed CWM through the .zip recovery file. i then installed the ROM above and it's now just stuck at the boot logo, with the cyanogenmod blue circle swirling around.

Did you factory reset in recovery?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
Yep, it did nothing. I'm guessing that when I flashed the CM10 ROM it cleaned out the factory reset.
Ok, panic over!
I managed to get this ROM working.
I am having quite a problem. I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted my ONE. Suddenly it decided to freeze on the lockscreen so i tried to reboot. It would not reboot and was stuck on the HTC ONE screen. I tried booting into recovery and sideloading the stock rom which did not work. and now i can not even boot into the recovery. please help. When i try to boot it up regularly it gets stuck on the Quietly Brilliant screen.

This will sound weird but seems to be helping people in the dev sections:
Put the phone under a bright light, and hold the power and volume down buttons.
I haven't had to use this particular method myself, but supposedly it works.
can somebody please help me? my screen just went black at work today and it does nothing at all now. if I hold the power button it vibrates once. if I hold power+volume down I get to recovery. I tried to reboot from there and I get the unlocked bootloader warning screen and from there it just goes to a black screen. so I get back to recovery and installed my back up and that didn't help at all. somebody please help me.
So the bootloader is unlocked, what else have you done to the phone?
You may need to reflash it with rsdlite.
OP you need to provide more details. are you getting the M logo? is it bootlooping? is the phone doing ANYTHING but getting in to recovery?
load the fastboot menu and use mfastboot to flash the system, boot and recovery images. you should be able to bring the phone back to life without losing data.

the only thing ive done to the phone is put xposed framework on it and gravity box. that was prob a month ago tho. this is the first prob ive had with the phone.
You may want to follow this guide to return the phone to stock firmware:

You could also try commenting out the line that overwrites user data so you don't lose your data.
Try plugging your phone into the original charger and then boot to recovery, from their try rebooting while still plugged in. If that doesn't work try this again but wipe just the caches and reboot while plugged in. I have had a screen go black before on other devices and plugging the original charger(car and most others didn't work) in and booting to recovery then rebooting would get it working again.
PS When you boot to recovery check your battery level.
well...I used the moto x toolkit and returned to stock using that. everything booted up. so far everything is looking good. lost all my data but that's not that big of a deal.

Well im with the same problem but i got the M logo and is not stuck in bootlooping.... right after the boot it goes black...
Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader, S-On, had InsertCoin ROM flashed and TWRP
Today, I was just using my phone normally and all of a sudden, it rebooted into recovery and I could't reboot out of it. I tried wiping the caches and booting from some back ups and none of that worked. It was while trying to boot from a day 1 backup I had saved that my phone bricked.
From there, tried the light trick, and holding the power/vol buttons with no avail. Its completely unresponsive, though my PC makes the noises when I plug it in even though the phone isn't showing up as a device.
Please help, I'm getting scared that I have no options here.

so your phone is only booting to recovery? does it boot in bootloader mode? What does it show in windows device manager?

so the problem right now is that it is bricked. It won't respond to anything and it won't turn on. But before that, the problem I was trying to fix myself was that it was only booting to recovery, though it was able to also boot into bootloader mode.

Call in the warranty ambulance.
Hopefully they can't get it to boot either otherwise they won't cover the warranty because you modified it
