My dad's phone suddenly stopped working. It would start up, load the HTC logo and just stayed there until the battery died. As far as I know, he hasn't done anything to the phone that would cause this kind of error. I started looking into solution, I ran Recovery and Factory Reset from the Fastboot menu. Both didn't affect the device, it would still stay on the HTC logo. I recently tried upgrading the ROM using HTC's RUU exe to fix any Rom issue. I downloaded the ROM from their official site. The exe ran all the way through and even said finished at the end, but the phone now has a black screen. No lights at all and no LEDs are lit up. I tried restarting the phone by pressing and hoding the PWR button, PWR + Vol down, PWR + Vol up, and PWR + Vol up + Vol down and I get nothing. If anybody could help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced.

Hello all,
I was working with my gf's CDMA Hero and I think that I have turned it into a brick. Here's the rundown of what will and will not happen...
WILL:
- power up to HTC logo screen. Occasionally will reboot on its own to HTC logo screen.
WON'T
- boot into recovery ROM by holding down HOME button when powering up. Was using Clockwork 3.0.0.5.
- boot into fastboot mode by holding down VOL DOWN button when powering up.
- boot into hboot mode by holding down VOL UP button when powering up.
- boot into OS. Was using CyanogenMod 6.1.0.
- initiate factory reset by holding down HOME and BACK buttons when powering up.
- restore via HTC Sprint RUU installer.
- appear as visible to ADB.
All the threads I've looked through so far seem to indicate that if you get an HTC screen, you aren't bricked. On the other hand, none of those threads have described the situation I'm in. Please help!
UPDATE - Moments after posting this, I was able to get back into the recovery mode and RUU'd the lil' bastard.
Hey there, i desperately need help, today i tried installing trickdroid and it froze in the aroma installer on the additional mods menu, i tried holding the power button for a long time, only the capacitive buttons would blink endlessly, but nothing else ever happens, same with power + vol down and power + vol down + vol up.. i also tried to do adb reboot command, and it says no device found. any help would be greatly appreciated

I did an in depth search before I started looking into roms and I haven't found any verified stories of a truly bricked m7, so breathe easy This thread has quite a few good ideas in it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219850
Doh, too late. Glad you weren't the first though

i did try searching but haven't found quite the same problem i had, also, it's very strange that holding power button won't work in recovery =/ i REALLY miss a removable battery =(
Now your phone is freezed?
If yes, re-try now.
Power button for 15-30 sec, try Power + Vol- too.
Hello,
I have a rooted One with PA on it. Tried to update to the last version of PA and the phone kept restarting (entered the ROM, and restarted after 30sec of so). Flashed gapps, boot.img, wiped cache still the same. After this i flashed [Kernel](002) One-M7 (UV/Intelliplug/dfsync/FauxSound/s2w/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) even though i did not knew what I was doing and now, the phone is stuck at Quietly Brilliant....I cannot do anything to it, and pressing POW+VOL DOWN does nothing...Is there anything else I can do?
Sigh...just sigh

On the quietly brilliant screen keep the power button pressed ... the buttons light will start to flash, that is normal, keep the power button pressed till screen goes off and immediately press and hold the vol down button ... this should bring you back to Bootloader, flash another proper ROM and Kernel from recovery now

It was dark in the room I tried to boot in recovery -> I put the phone under a light bulb and it worked
I posted this in ATT HTC One, but it's not getting any attention.
Unlocked and rooted my phone last night using the latest version of TWRP. I mistakenly (not knowing at the time) used the Cyanogenmod installer kit which gave me an error during install. Now my phone is stuck on that spinning CM loading screen. When I go to get into the bootloader (power + volume down) my phone restarts and goes to the bright HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom, then goes right back to the CM loading screen and not into the bootloader menu like I want.
I have not yet tried the trick of holding the phone near bright lights to try and get it into bootloader. The USB cable I think is fine as well and not a cause of anything.
Any suggestions please? I have searched through this forum a lot, but haven't found this exact problem yet.

Ok you dont need to worry abt this. You need to Press (Power + Volume Down) till your phone restarts and then just leave the power button but keep holding the volume down button and it will take you to the Fastboot Mode and from there you can go to recovery and flash another Compatible ROM or do RUU. Hope it helps:good:
Thank you! I will try this tonight.
Others have also said I need to do this under a bright light, too.
My AT&T G Flex randomly rebooted and when it did, it flashed the AT&T logo off and on infinitely. I did the method of holding down the power button and the volume down button, then releasing the power button and pressing it again to get the hard reset option. Did that, now it just shows the LG logo and stays there infinitely as well. I did not have any recovery ROMS installed. I assume my only option is to re-install the stock ROM.
If there are other options I can try, I'd greatly appreciate and try any. Thanks!

Hold in volume up and while you're holding it down plug in the phone to your computer with the USB cable. Does it enter Download Mode?

It does. However I needed a phone by today. So I returned to stock. Thanks for the answer though.
