Hi folks,
This is a repost from a wrong forum. Sorry guys
I have a HTC Dream which I guess I tried unsuccessfully to root. I used the method to load the software as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=130
At step 10, "10.Apply “update.zip”, wait until phone idles, then press the HOME + BACK buttons. It will reboot, finish writing “hboot.img”, then reboot again into Recovery mode by itself. Do not interrupt it at all until it's done."; I think I followed it verbatem only to find my phone is now in a constant boot loop
It shows a Rogers logo and I'm unable to boot into any mode (recovery or otherwise) with any key combo (I've tried Camera+Power, Home + Power/End) but the phone doesn't respond and keeps showing the Rogers screen.
I saw some instructions on what to do when this happens. One suggestion was to copy DREAIMG.nbh to the SD-Card and try booting with the Camera +End Button sequence, but the phone doesn't respond at all).
Any ideas on what can be done? Is it bricked? I can see the logo and I know it boots...perhaps the bootloader is trashed and needs to be reinstalled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
LOL, ok, I'll bite.....
Unfortunately all the same responses from the other thread you started still apply. Have you taken any of the advice from AdrianK?

Your link to the post you followed is invalid....I don't know much about the rogers process, but it sounds like if you are unable to get any key combos to work then your bricked.

I guess you are right. The phone does boot. It simply stays at the boot screen showing the rogers logo. Taking the battery turns if off. No response any key combos and it doesn't show up anywhere with adb/fastboot when connected to USB. Any ideas or hopes?

What happens when you put the battery back in? Comes on by itself and starts bootlooping or do you have to turn it on? If you have adb setup properly, you can run the ddms.bat file that's in the tools folder of the sdk. With you phone plugged in via usb, run a logcat and follow it for a while....if it starts repeating over and over, then its a definite bootloop. That, combined with you not getting any key combos to work suggests a brick

The phone does not turn on, when the battery is put in. Only hitting the power button, which is when it vibrates slightly and becomes unresponsive. Given what I'm seeing, its doing something...the devices become hot until the battery runs out.
I did setup adb (and java for ddms.bat). Though there is no output in logcat (Simply Failed at the top). I've tried various key (Home+Power Camera+power etc) combinations to see if it burbs, but nothing.
Any ideas on what I can try. I'm fairly good with linux/unix and setting up development environments. Thanks.
If it's looping on the second screen, then you're not bricked. If I was to guess, maybe your SD is not partitioned correctly for the ROM you're flashing...if I was to guess.

Hmm...where is this second screen? I unfortunately have no output (from the time I hit power to any useable/known key combos ) on my mmda.bat java interface. None whatsoever. Is there a way to see the raw data thru USB to see what it does when it boots up? And if so, how?
Same problem here

same problem here, the device comes on when the power button is pressed, a slight vibrate confirms this, then just hangs on "HTC Dream" screen.
Tried every key combo I can find to no avail, please, anybody help!!!!
RESOLVED
Silver HTC One for AT&T; bootloader unlocked, rooted, s-on
I tried to flash a 4.1.2 ROM on the phone earlier today through CWM. No errors were given during the process. After the phone restarted the touch screen is now disabled. All three hardware keys seem to be working fine (power, v-up, v-down). Since the touchscreen is not working I cannot get past the initial lock screen. If I try and restart the phone by holding power it takes a long time >5 minutes of holding down power, "To restart your phone continue to press and hold power for 3, 2, 1, comes up and then stays at 1 for a long time.
If I connect the phone to my mac android file transfer opens up and I can see the files on the phone. However, if I try to find the device using 'adb devices' the list of attached devices is empty.
I would like to put a different ROM on and then flash that but because I am unable to do a power down (only restart after a long time) or use adb to re-boot into fastboot or recovery I am stuck.
Anything you guys could give me to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
also I installed HTC sync manager and it launches after the device is attached, but does not indicate that my device is attached.
Thanks!
You need a 4.3 based ROM. Push via ADB and install via cwm or adb sideload

Just copy the 4.3 rom via the file manager, then restart with however long it takes. While restarting, keep the vol-down button pressed. You'll reboot to bootloader. From there, go to recovery and select your 4.3 rom.

Can you elaborate on the OTG cable? It may be my best option at the moment because I cannot get the phone to reboot at all let alone into recovery. I tried to restart while holding down power and vol-down (like n1234d said) for about 20 minutes and the phone did not restart.
You could use an OTG cable and a USB drive to get the ROM onto the phone inside recovery. Unfortunately, you still need to reboot to recovery. If the phone can't reboot, I'm not sure what to do.

Just hold the power button and power it off....
then try to get in recovery from bootloader....
the phone wont get recognized via adb if not in recovery mode cause the USB debugging would be turned off....
the phone WILL power off if you keep the power button pressed for 20-30 seconds and should reboot.

Thanks for you suggestions, as I mentioned above I got the phone to reboot into recovery after holding down power for an insanely long time. From there I was able to use adb to get everything sorted out.
So my problem is resolved, how do I close/delete this thread? Thanks for all your suggestions.

I'm pretty sure you unknowingly kept leaving the power/volume buttons because of which the phone finally rebooted when you got it right

Hello, I've recently just got this phone off someone to fix for them. It's in the constant bootloop. I can get into the bootloader, which is locked and has S-ON. However, if I try to navigate down it restarts as soon as it highlights recovery. If I navigate up, it will open up the show barcode, and exit out of it and sometimes highlight the image crc and attempt to display it. It restarts however very soon after. This phone has not been rooted or has been flashed at all.
Stuck of ideas at the minute on what to do to fix this guys phone, I don't believe he has warrenty on it either .
Any help would much be appreciated! Want to try and get this fixed.

That's the first option i'm able to get to at the top, I press the power button to select it however it just resets the phone. I presume this isn't suppose to happen and the fastboot hasn't work?
Wait, sorry. If I press Vol Up, then Vol down again, it auto selects it. However, I can't select the options in the new menu.
Sorry again, it also doesn't seem to have a fastbootUSB mode? Unless it does that when it restarts?

when you select fastboot, plug it into the computer, it should now say fastboot USB on the screen, if you cant get fastboot, you cant fix it, its knackered.

Bugger. I'll mess with it a bit more in hopes of reviving it. Cheers for the help though
If "fastboot" turns to "fastbootUSB" you will probably be OK. Try entering RUU mode from fastboot with the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" If you get this far you will just need to apply a full RUU image, which will reinstall everything, including the boot loader itself.

I can't seem to get to that, the phone restarts itself pretty much around 5-7 seconds being in the bootloader itself.
The only other reason i can imagine this happening is maybe because the battery is knackered.

Good point, the power button does seem a bit further in this one, than I have seen in other M7s. This may sound silly, but it clicks when I push it down, but have no idea how to properly bring it up.

unfortunately, i have no idea how to fix the button, but if your phone is behaving as if it's being continually pressed that would explain the reboots.
to verify, just enter bootloader, don't do anything (but be in a well lit environment), if it reboots again and again, then the power button is stuck.

Yep, I'll see about trying to fix the power button then. Here's hoping!
Also, sorry. I should've added in the op that it only turns on when it's plugged into something. If i unplugged it while it's on the htc screen or bootloader, it will stay on till it does the usual reset then stay off.
If the power button is clicking I doubt it is stuck.

When the Device restarts while you're on the HTC Boot Screen, do the LED Buttons down at the bottom flash up a couple of times prior to the reset? If so, that would be conclusive with the stuck Power Button as that is (afaik) the normal behavior for a reset by pressing and holding Power.

This is correct. A hard power down will flash the home and back keys before turning off.

I've seemed to have someone fixed the phone now, it's getting into Android (after much stress trying to get it into it!). It does seem like it's the power button that is sticky, as it's locking the screen and constantly waking it up and bringing the power button menu up. Needless to say, i'm overjoyed that it's working. Now I need to find out how to fix the power button in it.

That might actually not be quite the easiest task. If anything else fails, why not try bringing it as close to stock und untempered as you can go and hand it in for a warranty repair. With a little bit of luck they will not check the software as it is obviously a hardware button defect.
Hello,
Well i am pretty much screwed unless someone can help me out.
I have my phone set to fingerprint lock screen. I performed the following command via ADB :
adb shell wm density 220 && adb reboot
the following message appears now because i think the DPI is too small:
"com.android.keyguard has stopped"
I do not have a backup - yes i made a big mistake.
My phone is not rooted and i would prefer to keep it this way for warranty. If i do not have any other option then i will root the phone but there must be something we can do to solve this issue.
Currently the phone is set to USB debugging mode but a message needs to appear for me to select "OK" or something for ADB to be used.
So the com.android.keyguard" message always appears and i cannot do anything else. each time i hit the OK button, and then the message appears again in not even 1 second. So i cannot get to the USB debugging mode and hit OK.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Can you get into download mode? If so just Odin stock firmware.

I need to some to format the phone and settings i think and then do the odin stock firmware install.
WHen i did what you guys mentioned above, the phone just rebooted back to its normal self without prompting any setup questions.
Take out battery put it back in. Hold down power, middle button, and up button until you were booting into recovery. Reset to factory there - maybe that works. Good luck

Flashing firmware over odin will fix what you did. Stop asking questions and youtube instructions on how to fix your problem. It's easier than coming back here and asking question after question.

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to say thank you very much for everyone support!
The fix ended up being a boot from safe mode i think it is called. (while phone is off, hold middle button, volume up & right button). I then proceeded to do a factory wipe and a partition cache clear. Rebooted the phone and it was back to a full restart. I now how to set the phone back up.
Anyone recommend a good app to backup the phone so if this happens again i can just run it in the "safe Mode"??
I did the hard reset to the phone and now it wont turn on. When I charge the phone there is nothing on the screen but the phone getting warmer. any help will be appreciate thanks
Define hard reset?
Why did you reset?
What happens when you power down the phone then attempt to enter recovery?
Sorry, I meant factory reset and I did it because I was planning to give the phone to someone else. The phone is not turning on. thanks
Odd, have you tried holding power down and volume down (or up) for 90 seconds?
This is obviously not normal.
I've had my phone lock up before and this seemed to eventually get it to start up.

On the off chance that you are in a bootloader mode you'd need fastboot.
There are several fastboot reboot commands you could try.
