Hi iv got a HTC ONE S, it is stuck on boot loop is there any way i can get my pictures and data off my phone? thanks
Can you get into the recovery? And are you running a custom recovery?
If you can get into your recovery(cwm or twrp) you can plug it into usb and mount it as usb storage.
If I helped in any way please hit thanks
Just fix the bootloop. Sounds like you gave up on it. Can you get into the bootloader? Hold volume down and power. Till the device shuts off. Then redo that method and poof. Hboot. If you can. What hboot version are you on?

I have the same problem, phone keep reboot and will not turn on, i can get into recovery, but can not get contact via USB, what am i doing wrong?
Any step by step how to get out pictures before setting it back to factory settings
recovery loop
Just rooted HTC One S TMOUS using Hasoon 2000's tool. tried CWM backup of rooted stock, then followed instructions for PA 2.52 + gapps. Got stuck on PA boot screen. Won't boot all way up.
Phone will only boot into recovery. adb reboot bootloader goes into recovery. can't get into hboot to restore stock using RUU.
Advice?
Thanks kindly.
Same Problem here.
I wanted to join a wifi-network, then the htc freezed and now it's in bootloop.
I still read some oder threads in the internet but not realy good ideas I like.
Does anyone know whats happening in HBoot when I use "Clear Storage"? Does he clear the phone-memory or the SD-Memory? Or anything else?

did anyone solve this? I have an unbranded unrooted HTC One S that is also stuck in a bootloop. I was just scanning the WIFI networks from settings and then the phone started looping by itself and only stopped after the battery was empty.
The phone is not modified in any way. I can get into hboot with power-volume down but then what? I don't really feel like doing a factory reset. Is there any other way out? Does the factory reset help?
Hi
I had the same problem and fixed it.
I made factory reset, then when i configured my Google account i disables the "sync Internet" Option.

Ya seen someone say that not sure if it was you but also some people have found having to many saved hotspots can also send you into a bootloop.
in my case for sure it was the google account cause i did factory reset, and had no saved hotspots and still it happened when i switched the wifi on\off after the factory reset(i mead got into boot-loop and needed a factory reset).
it is a serious bug\problem - i can't believe this can happen because of such a silly configuration.
the OS of HTC is not stabled at all!
If your bootloader is locked, then you dont have too many options re getting information off of your phone. Someone else may be able to post ideas. A factory reset may be your only option..
If you have already unlocked your bootloader, my suggestion would be to flash the latest TWRP Custom Recovery (google it). You can connect to your computer via usb through TWRP and access your sd card to get pictures, videos etc off of it.
Through TWRP you can also have access to adb.exe (ie using adb.exe commands and not just fastboot.exe commands, and thereby access all sorts of adb related commands (backups, linux shell, etc).
In order to actually fix the bootloop, well, usualy I find this is due to issues with the Kernel and custom ROM you are flashing (either one or the other), and so would reflash whatever worked before (ie a previous ROM or previous kernel).
But if this is all happening on a device you have not rooted nor flashed anything custom... Well, then that is a good question!

Ya I'm not saying what you said is wrong or didn't work for you but I do think I could be right about kongo09 and Bond246 issue since it did happen when dealing with wifi and seen a few people say the same thing.
I am in a bootloop. What i did to get the phone start is just press first down volume button then power button (keep holding them until the phone goes oof). Inmediatily when the phone go off, stop pressing anything. ANYTHING, BE FAST, and it will boot normally. I am now tryying to get the stock recovery to avoid this sht.

Did the factory reset make you lose all your data? As in: pictures etc? I have read varying stories regarding this, some say you lose it all, some say you don't.
I have some recordings of interviews on there that I really(!!!) cannot lose. Does anyone know if HTC has the possibility to recover files from a phone in this condition?

If you unlocked the bootloader then you could flash TWRP which will let you mount SD for the PC.

Unfortunately not... Unrooted, stock bootloader and all... I spent all day reading threads on different forums, but so far it seems that there is no other solution to this bootloop problem than just doing a factory reset. But like I said, I have some very important recordings on my phone and before I give up on them I want to make sure I tried everything.
If anyone knows of a way to root and flash a new bootloader without wiping all my data in the process, that would be highly appreciated.
Or if anyone knows whether it is possible to somehow approach the storage (maybe through Linux) while the phone is bootlooping (not normally recognized by computer).
But also: I would very much like to hear from people who have done a factory reset from the stock boot loader: has it wiped just your apps and app data? Or has it wiped your files as well (photos, music, recordings etc)?
Like I said: any info would be much appreciated...

Not much you can do then because even unlocking could wipe SD.
Not sure if its possible with a locked bootloader but you may want to try getting into your bootloader then try typing fastboot boot <working kernel file>
Replace the phrase "<working kernel file>" with a stock boot.img that you know works.
As you can see this command is different from fastboot flash boot <working kernel file>.
This may get you out of the bootloop if you had kernel issues, and may allow you to load a kernel temporarily. Not sure if it works on locked bootloaders but it might.
If all you can access is the bootloader and fastboot, then you really have to play around with fastboot commands. See http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot for the list.
Good luck!

Stock bootloader, same bootloop scenario - factory reset wiped everything including photos, music, other files. Clear storage seems to keep everything except the installed apps and configuration. It's the 4th time I'm doing it unfortunately :
Hello everyone,
When I first got my TF300T I rooted it, and then turned on the encryption under settings. Later I unlocked it because I wanted to switch to Cyanogen Mod.
I managed to install clockworkmod recovery, but then discovered that it could not detect my card. After doing some research I realized the encryption was interfering.
I've been ripping my hair our here because it looks like there is no way to remove the encryption. I also cannot perform a factory wipe. No matter what I do nothing seems to effect the encrypted data.
Is there any way to remove the encryption, wipe the data, anything? I'm not concerned with the data already on my tablet, I plan to wipe it anyway so just wiping the encrypted data is fine.
Please somebody have an answer for this problem.
Dave

I have seen others with encryption problems on Asus tablets who ended up doing an RMA process to correct this issue. I am sure there is a way to completely wipe the tablet, however I will leave that to someone here with more knowledge.
Have you tried a factory reset on it yet?
Yes I have. Neither the factory reset under settings nor clockwork recovery is able to touch the encrypted data.

Here you are, found this on google. Maybe some of the information in here could help you out!

I had similar problem. After several tries of factory reset, encryption was gone and then I could install CM.
I can confirm a factory data wipe will remove the encryption.

Hmm... several tries?
Could the fact that I installed clockwork recovery be messing with the factory reset?

I had to wipe ALL memory from the tablet. Including Internal Memory, but it worked. Next I had to flash new recovery and rom via fastboot and adb.
Worked for me
Booting into the ROM and selecting "erase user data" worked for me. The "erase user data" might not be the exact wording, but there isn't any other option closely worded that way. You can't miss it. Thanks for the help!:victory::highfive:
Hi,
I'm running CM 10.1 and i encrypted the phone but i want to decrypt it and i have look all over. I tried doing a factory reset from cm and form clockwork mod but it always comes back. I appreciate and help that's given.
My understanding is that you must decrypt the phone prior to wiping anything especially doing a factory reset. At this point the device is in cryptic and you have wiped the password from the device so it will not recognize it. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help you. But my suggest would be to return 100% stock via odin.

A friend I work with, his son apparently tried putting music on his tab, it corrupted, so he used kies to try a factory reset and now touch doesn't work.
I put on a cyanogen 4.1.2 rom and it still won't register touch.
The only things I can think of are the kernel may be wrong or there may be an internal damage problem.
I have searched here and google with no luck.
Thanks in advance!
So I'm assuming the Tab is rooted, correct? If so, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery? If so, have you tried formatting (system, data, cache, dalvik, data-media)?

I have rooted my Nexus 5 on lollipop 5.0 and installed Cyanogen Mod 12.1 using CWM. However, I desperately need some files which were present before I performed my hard Factory Reset. I know I should have made a backup, but i really thought I had made a backup of the audio files before the hard factory reset. Is there any way I can recover them ? Kinda desperate here. Please let me know.
