Ok I need some help. I think I bricked my M8. I was trying to flash a rom so I was in TWRP and I wiped everything and when I was about to flash the rom my dog knocked down they phone and laptop. The phone rebooted but with no rom. I can't get back in to recovery. All I can do is turn on the power and it goes to the HTC screen with the red writing from rooting it. Can anyone help?

Hey guys, I need help ASAP. So there was me just wanting to update my rom (trickdroid), doing everything as usual. The phone froze while installing, so I restarted it by holding down power and vol-. The phone doesn't boot since then. I can enter the bootloader, but when entering recovery, the small little clockwork appears then the phone reboots, and again and again. Now, I tried doing a factory reset in the bootloader and installing the recovery again. No luck. So now I have a phone that doesn't turn on. Please someone help me, I'm desperate. :/

post this on trickdroid thread someone there will help
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.

Hello
I had my HTC One running Cyanogenmod 11 like a charm. After that I flashed ElementalX kernel which I have used many times before. It flashed correctly but my phone got stuck in the boot loop. Then I rebooted back to recovery and tried to flash Bulletproof kernel. It flashed correctly too but my phone is still not restarting. At this point I thought "**** it, I'll flash new rom" but I can't boot into bootloader. The only thing my phone is doing is flashing software buttons. It doesn't show even the HTC logo screen! I'm starting to get worried I actually bricked my phone :crying:.
Does any of you have any solutions?

Hold the power button and the Vol down for about 15 seconds in a well lit room
when the buttons stop flashing let go of power and continue holding the Vol down .. you should be back in boot loader.
After that you should RUU back to stock

Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for your quick help. I have to admit I was at first a little pessimistic about that light actually working since I had tried it a few times, but for some reason it really worked and let me into bootloader. So a big thank you for you who used your precious time to help me, thank you. :highfive: Now my phone is fully functional again. :victory:
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

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
