Hey guys! I would really appreciate some help.
My phone details:
- Htc one mini, European Version
- *Locked*
- *S-ON*
- Hboot: 2.21.0000
- Radio: 1.22.40e.00.07
- No root
- completly Stock (I think, it schould be on Android v. 4.2)
My story: I've sent this phone to HTC for a repair, because some application (dialer, hangouts etc.) continuously force closed. A factory reset didn't fix the problem and as it's the phone of my mother, i didn't want to unlock it and go with a custom rom. So I've sent it to Htc.
Unfortunatly, after 3 (!) failed repairing attempts, they sent me the phone back, but when I try to power it on, I'm stuck on the white Htc screen. Sometimes the phone loads until the htc screen with the beat sounds logo, but that's it.It stucks at that screen. I can't turn the phone on. Htc told me they wouldn't repair the phone anymore, because i've messed up something with the bootloader (wtf?!). It's the only phone I have, that I never unlocked...Anyway:
I'm able to enter in recovery (the black screen with the phone and the red exclamation point/mark), but nothing more.
So please help me to unbrick the phone. Any suggetion is really appreciate.
Thanks in advanced and sorry for my english.
Fixing it would be hard without unlocking the bootloader, maybe you can try to get a logcat and see what errors it gives

First of all, thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunatly i can't use adb, because, I presume, the usb debugging isn't turned on.
Unlocking the bootloader at this point wouldn't be an issue for me. But after unlocking it, what would you advice me to do?
Update: In the meantime I unlocked successfully the bootloader.
Uptade 2: Successful installed TWRP 2.7.1.0a
Update 3ROBLEM SOLVED..once installed twrp, i sideloaded a stock rom to my device internal memory and flashed it via recovery. After wiping cache and dalvik the phone rebooted!
Thank you LQi for your help.

Hi All,
I installed the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 and the phone was working perfectly, then I tried to replace the two files for the Advanced Power Menu mod into the Framework folder as the install directions say. After the reboot, the phone gets stuck on the white HTC ONE TM screen. I then rebooted into the recovery screen by pressing the power and Vol down key and did a factory reset and I still get stuck on the same screen after the reboot. Any way I can reinstall the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 or get out of this Bootloop? Thanks in advance
download the ruu and htc sync and ...reflash
How do I do this, HTC Sync does not pick up the phone and since I do not have CWM how to I flash the RUU from this state. I saw that you previously said to another member about ARUWIzard, will this work for me?
since you are on att therefore you dont need that.
download the ruu from this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644338
and run it with htc sync installed.
Got it to reflash the RUU. Thanks for your help.
hi friends,
please help me out,
i am not a tech geek, when i downloaded RUU from htcdev.com for android 4.0.x, and tried to update my firmware, the process is good at the go,
and while its in the process, a small hilarious shake at the USB port failed the further prigress.
now i couldnt start my phone, nor i could recover, HTC logo comes on flashing, and boot loader screen appers when loaded, but HTC screen green logo flashes again and again, whatever option you select, nothing worked, neither recover nor factory reset.
guys please help me,
its unlocked, s on.

I had the same problem with the flashing htc I unplugged battery and restarted and it worked again
HOWEVER
I've just done the update and mine is coming up with the htc quietly brilliant screen which also makes a noise and then nothing happens. Factory reset didnt work
I tried to upgrade my phone to 4.4.2 TwistedKat, but after a while i decided i didnt like it and deleted the zip file from the phone completely and attempted to reboot my phone. I tried to relock it but when i did the phone never turned back on. When i unlocked it again it would go back to TwistedKat and i really just want my old JellyBean back. Now when i turn the phone on it stays on the logo screen with the red writing saying this build is for development purposes. I could not really find any RUU to use and im still searching but having no luck. Please help
EDIT: Its a T-Mobile HTC One S. I can also still go to the hboot screen and
clockworkMod Recovery
Ok i ended up being able to bring back the TwistedKat 4.4.2 version, but i would still like help in returning my phone back to the OS it was. Can anyone help?
if you are s-on, did you flash boot.img ?
Hi, so yesterday i got my brand new HTC One M8s and of course, i wanted to root it.
I've unlocked the bootloader (It is still S-ON though) but everytime i want to reboot into recovery (After getting into the bootloader) i see the splash screen and then 1 second later i get a blackscreen and have to reset it to factory defaults because it won't boot up. I've tried other versions of TWRP but none worked. I tried the All in One toolbox and ADB method, again no change...
Please help me out, this is driving me crazy

Hey everyone
My Nexus 5 White suddenly reboots and shows up and stuck at Google Logo startup. It drained battery very quick and turned off while i was going back to home. At home I entered to Bootloader (Vol Down + Power) and then Power+Vol Up for additional menu to Clear cache. It worked and appears it cleared cache and rebooted but it stuck at the logo again.
So I decided to follow guides to Flash everything again. But when I try to flash Cache, Bootloader and System error msg shows up "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" .
Some guides claim memory is dead? Anyone experienced this situation?
PS: Yes I unlocked the bootloader and I tried 6.0 and 5.X
Does the bootloader remain unlocked?
The bootloader in mine would unlock then re-lock at reboot. Also, mine would be stuck at the screen with the spinning balloons. Tried latest 5.1 and 6 too.
Wound up getting a used N5 with smashed screen and swapped motherboards.

Yep it remains unlocked. Can't even see the balloons. Now it starts directly to Bootloader. Anyone have this issue fixed?
Nope , it's dead Jim. eMMC is fried.

I am having same problem, after I try to reset NExus 5 stuck at 'erasing', I tried to unlock bootloader but as soon the Phone reboots bootloader gets locks again, I tried nexus toolkit to flash stock rom, I tried flashing custom recovery but phone wont boot in custom recovery, Please tell whats wrong, should I give up on this phone??
Thank you
The emmc is damaged and cannot be replaced. A motherboard swap was required to fix mine.

Can confirm, had the same. Emmc fried, could not be repaired, fix: replace mainbord

Just ran into the same issue with a friend's Nexus 5... Gone for good sadly, time to get a Nexus 5X.
A relatively cheap fix would be to find a used N5 with a smashed screen and working motherboard. I picked up phones between $30 and $50 CAD on Kijiji.

Same as Turrunen. Maybe this symptom can't be referred to the EMMC bridge...Still seeking for solutions...
Or maybe even though we don't get the point, we still need to swap a main board or buy a new one...
With a unlocked bootloader, failure to flash a stock ROM to the phone, especially, anything above 4.2.2, is also an indicator that something is wrong with the emmc.
