Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.
My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?

You going to need to charge it for half hour or more before you want to start messing with stuff.

Its not rooted, just tried the recorvery option in bootloader, but that just came up with a phone picture with an exclamation mark.
When it stalls, if you hit the power button the bottom keys continually flash. :s
I hope i can get back into this phone as i have alot saved on it!

Think you going have to reset it but not sure if doing it in bootloader will wipe the SD.

Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.
If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.
Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.

Hello, i have a htc desire s phone 3 months and i tried installing the 2.3.5 update from the settings menu in the phone. After the installing the phone stuck on HTC Boot screen. I left it about 10 minutes or more like that, poped up the pin security screen and stuck. Then i pulled out the battery tried to reopen and again stuck, this time only on HTC boot screen. So i tried to perform factory reset via the boot menu. After the reset the phone is dead doesn't power up neither boots into the boot menu. Any solution?
I had a similar problem trying to update my Desire S. I got a red exclamation mark during the update and it sat on that for ages. So I pulled the battery and now I can even power on the device at all. Its just dead.

I still have insurance i hope it covers it since it's destroyed from the default update. I just posted here if someone can help me solve this without sending it back.
If you did nothing with phone (S-OFF etc) you should to send it back, otherwise you can lose you warranty.
Other solutions? XTC Clip? HXC Dongle?
What happen when you plug it to charger or usb? You should then check if vol down + power works (sometimes if its under charging you should hold vol down and push few times power).
No i didn't modified or used any things other than official on the phone. Also when i plug it on charger, it doesn't do anything and on pc, the computer plays the double ding sound of failed device. Anyway i guess you are right since i have it virgin without modification i can use my warranty. Thanks everyone for your replies
Hi dude I also experienced this a week ago. I solved this by plugging in my phone to the PC via USB, wait for a few minutes then booted into bootloader. Then, I entered clockwork mod recovery and wiped data and cache, finally, I restored my data from my backup, now it is running smoothly. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't even bother. These "get-outs" are great if you have previously rooted / S-Offed your phone, but if it is 'Virgin' - unmodified - then you are far better off following the official path for repair. I would, as it's only been 3 months, actually start by going back to the shop you bought it from and asking them to replace it - saves you from waiting 2 weeks for HTC to sort it for you.

The same thing just happened to me. How can I fix this thing?
Same thing here, downloaded the update fine but when installing got to about 0% and phone locked up with a big red x. Hard reboot got me back in but says update failed. I am rooted but not unlocked, will this affect anything (other than breaking root).

Hard reboot is where you hold the power button for ten seconds right? Because I did that like 5 times. Factory reset is my last option. Maybe I could try running the 1.85 ruu if that can be provided to me and tell me how to use it

Hi guys,
Today my phone started acting weird. After I locked the screen or it locked after 15 seconds, it wouldnt turn back on. Only way would be resetting the phone. After a couple of resets the screen just shows like a old tv with no signal(TV noise?). If I let the phone sit for a while I could turn it back on and get to recovery but it wouldnt go into the OS. I tried doing a factory reset on the recovery and I just get stuck on the "formatting data" screen.
Any way to recover from this?
Phone is completely stock. No root, locked bootloader,etc.
Thanks.
For how much time are you using your phone? It's sounds to me as hardware failure.

So I was playing around trying to get Sound MOD to work(dont ask me y..I was bored) And I have bricked my phone. I am stuck on the white HTC screen the one at the begining of the boot..the one that says this build is for development purposes..blah blah. and it is just stuck there. Adb wont find device or nothing..I am truly screwed..yes?
Well, ADB wouldn't be able to do anything at that point anyway. It's not fully booted, or in the bootloader.
Have you tried powering it off, and booting to the bootloader? From there recovery, do a factory reset, and see if it boots then?

It is impossible for me to flash a rom. Cant get into a recovery to do it.
Ok so update: I was SOMEHOW able to get into recovery(TWRP) but no matter what i try to do it just reboots back into recovery..any ideas?
EDIT: gonna try verizon RUU. Fingers crossed
Just a thought here. TWRP can install from USB. I have flashed from a thumbdrive in the past on an S3. You may be able to do same. I know this is a shot in the dark but may help.
Will it just sit at the recovery screen or does it boot before you touch anything? If it will sit at the TWRP main screen you should be able to boot into hboot via adb and try a reflash of twrp or CWM. Your recovery may be corrupt.
You're definitely not bricked. You're catching breaks left and right.
