So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

I'm still on 1.09
Its s-off.
I haven't touched my hboot since i rooted my phone.
Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

Well, I'm still trying that. I've done it the way you''ve mentioned it here as well. Trying it again now. I've never had problems getting into my hboot before. :S
Something just seems wrong.
Once I get back home, I'm gonna pull the phone apart and check if something's wrong with my volume button. The Vol. up stopped working, but vol down was working just fine....
Let it boot as far as it will go and see if adb will recognize it. If it does adb reboot bootloader

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^
I think you can help me maybe but I'm not so experienced

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.

To simulate battery pull hold power button it will blink a few times then turn off. Also disable fast boot in power options.

I had this same problem today.
But the advice given above didn't work for me?
I had to do a factory reset on the phone.
Then the trick to shutting down the phone is to do it BEFORE you set up the phone, immediately after the first bootup.
Just for the fun I decided to brick my phone on purpose. Holding the power button will effectively turn the phone off. Got back into my recovery and reloaded a backup.

I also experienced this issue yesterday and was able to resolve the issue. Although I am running sick-sense, this might work for you to because I think the issue is kernel related. Try plugging your phone using the charger, and unplug it. see if it resolves your problem. Let us know if this helps so other who might encounter this issue have a fix.
I've did some searching on this and tried everything listed but I may have a unique case here. I had a buddy call me a couple days ago and tell me about his issue with his One X. I started digging on here and found a couple of tips and tried them all for him and no go.
I asked him what he was doing when this happened. It is a Rogers One X and he attempted to install a CM9 ROM for the international One X. He assumed a One X was a One X. I've only dabbled with my Galaxy Nexus and Transformer Prime, but I'm assuming this is the issue with his phone. Am I wrong?
Is there a way to fix it? I've had the phone for a couple of days and I can not get it to power up. The LED doesn't come on either when the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried a couple different chargers and cables and same result.
Hoping I can some how save this for him.

power it up holding the volume button DOWN. If you can get to the bootloader you're not bricked and can re-install the rogers firmware.

yes...but it should still hit the bootloader, hell even recovery. try the same method with vol up instead... then plug into pc... see if there's any connection.
This thing takes forever to boot compared to me older devices. I'm thinking it's not totally off... try holding the power button for a long time... like 15 seconds +. see if any lights flash..
The trick is we need it in a full off state and power it up with vol down and power.
It could be in a kernel boot loop that you can't see anything.

Nope not at all. Other then voiding the warranty, which with the bootloader unlocked is probably voided already, I'm debating cracking into the case and unhooking the battery and rehooking it up.

It actually might be recoverable, but it's a lot of work.
Do this.
On a linux machine, while plugged into usb - push and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Release it. IMMEDIATELY and REPEATEDLY do ls /dev/sd*
Do the ls over and over again (for around 20 seconds or so) and see if a bunch of new devices show up and subsequently disappear.
If they don't, push and hold power for another 10 seconds, release, repeat.
If you get devices to show up, it's recoverable.
He bricked, is a shame but that's the risk you take when you flash a ROM meant for another phone...
ok so umm I have this problem on my phone. My volume was messed up, it would automatically start decreasing at random, So I thought maybe resetting it would fix it.
So when I reset it, I get this messed up screen that Ive never seen in my life before, it was like

Your volume down button is pressed. When you reboot the phone while holding volume down it takes you to the bootloader. See if the button is jammed in. If so, try tapping the phone against your palm to unstick it.

You're just stuck in bootloader. You should still have a ROM installed to boot to (if you didn't wipe that when you reset). Should be able to battery pull and boot normally.
Oh wait, it thinks you're holding volume when powering on cuz your button is stuck. That is hardware failure. You may, actually, have to use insurance, or your provider may even swap it out for fairly cheap if it was purchased fairly recently.

Hello:
I attempted to load AT&T Stock Rooted DE-ODEX - 1.26.502.12 today, since I was having some issues with the camera/video while using Rage One 1.1.0, which worked great for a few weeks other than that, but now my phone is completely stuck after several hours and full battery on "HTC quietly brilliant (pun intended?) with the red text on the bottom "This build is for development...blah blah blah".
Is this thing seriously bricked with no hope? I've searched all over the web and seems like people use the term too loosely, making it really difficult to figure out if there's any hope for a phone in this state. No red light when charging or recognition by any computers that it's connected and flashboot attempts only respond with "waiting for device".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It does not sound to me like you have a carrier locked HTC one XL... but as long as you can get to bootloader you are not bricked.

Press and hold power. The capacitive buttons will blink about 7 times or so and the screen will go black. Once the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.
Then tell me everything it says on the top portion of that screen. Don't bother including the stuff at the bottom.

No such luck, the buttons on the bottom blink, but it never turns off, just sits there on the splash screen. I'd be super happy if I could get the bootloader back! The red charging light is also off and I have it plugged into the wall. Also, 3 computers and 8 usb ports do not recognize it as being connected.

Keep holding it until the screen shuts off. Sometimes it blinks way more than 7 times.
If that doesn't work. Let the battery drain then charge for 15 minutes or so and then press and hold volume and power down while the device is off to turn it on in bootloader mode.

Just be careful, from what i understand those things give off a lot of heat. The point, I believe is just so you can tell the difference when the backlight shuts off, not to cook the phone

Thank you so much exad, I really appreciate the help. I held down the power button for close to 3 minutes, but still no luck.

What options would I have if it does come back and I'm not able to get the computer to recognize it's attached?
Thanks again for all your help!
Don't get smart I didn't say leave it under there I said go under the light and hold the power button down

Once you get into bootloader, your computer will be able to recognize it through fastboot.

Sorry, just trying to shed some light on a bad situation. It worked after a few minutes under the lamp, although the computer won't see it as an attached device under fastboot and the factory reset up gets hung at entering recovery splash.

You two rock!!! The APK installer still says it's not connected to usb, but at least the flashbooter can hook into it! I should be able to make some good progress from here.
Thanks a trillion for all your help!

Well it lets me into TWRP, but doesn't take any RUU's or ROM's and warns me about not having any OS installed when I ask to reboot in TWRP.
This should be fun! :laugh:

hmm, this is not true.
What happens when you mount USB storage in TWRP? (also, best to use TWRP 2.3.3.1 or under if you aren't already, to avoid further complications)
Recently rooted it, installed Xposed, installed a module for smooth status bar or something, did a soft reboot and now it won't do anything.
Xposed doesn't seem to be working all the well with this for of root.

Mine did the same thing then just held power and volume down and it finally rebooted.

Been through the Evo, Thunderbolt, DNA and now the M8 is my first brick. I suppose I could say I lost it and hopefully the warranty will cover it.

How long did you hold it for, held mine for at least 30 seconds and nothing.
About a minute. I just kept holding it down did I say the white HTC screen. I thought I killed it to

Holy ****. I love you Bracht. I was holding Volume Down.
Just wanna chime in guys watch what you do till we have a stock recovery we can flash and everything else be gentle
Yes if your phone freezes after choosing soft reboot in xposed just hold "volume up & power" til you see the HTC logo on screen

Hold power and volume down, and have a bright light shine right on the sensor by the camera, well that's how it was with my Sprint HTC One M7

Not a brick unless you some how found a way around write protection or an unrelated hardware issue
Do a hard reboot via holding power for 60 seconds

So you are essentially saying that because we do not have system write access, it is not possible to brick the phone per se?

Not the way he described. With write protection, it is much harder

I was holding Power and Vol Down like on my DNA, turns out I had to hold Vol Up.
For some reason, I tried to boot into recovery from Goo.im and I wound up with a red "!". Holding the power for over 3 minutes did nothing. Holding Volume Up plus power put me back in business.
I've had that issue several times now where I was horsing around with xposed modules and rebooting and it would just freeze with the screen super dim and the Verizon logo just barely perceptible. Holding power forever did nothing. One thing I found that ALWAYS recovers it for me is holding power and volume UP for about 30 seconds. It hard resets it. Works every time for me.
I was starting to get scared too as I'm coming from The Galaxy s4 and am used to being able to battery pull.
