Friends,
got my hands on HTC One SV LTE that is constantly at each power runs into Bootloader Mode. If you select Factory Reset and others, it always returns to the same screen. You advise me please, how his resurrection?
Unlock bootloader, flash latest Twrp recovery and flash a stock rom.
I have a problem if you leave this to the HTC Dev generate a token and back through fastboot unlocked, so I after restarting the phone again returns to the menu and shines LOCKED.

Hi, I did a few searches but came up empty, sorry if this is something answered already.
A friend brought me a sim unlocked Htc One X from at&t stuck in a bootloop and I can't get it out of the bootloop, he supposedly tried to update the device with an ota delivered to his device and it just entered the bootloop, the device is completely stock so I cant unlock the bootloader to flash a custom recovery, I can enter hboot and fastboot but trying fastboot oem rebootRUU causes the device to reboot and go into bootloop so i cant use an RUU to flash everything back, same thing with trying to enter the recovery, trying to factory reset the device or any other option in fastboot or hboot that isnt turning the device off or changing between hboot and fastboot.
Is he SoL? I am not that familiar with htc devices but from what i've reasearched I think there is nothing to be done for it right? (I hope I am wrong)
Try flashing boot.img in fastboot.
Ive been asked by a friend of mine to fix his nexus 5 that is stuck on a Bootloop, I've opened it up to have a look at the power button and that wasn't the problem, the device has not been rooted, the Bootloader is locked, there is no emergency mode and there is no recovery. I am however able to access fastboot and when I try unlocking via fast boot it does unlock but then requires a full reboot and as I've said before this cannot happen because of the Bootloop.
Any suggestions!?!?!?!
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock itself? If it does, the memory chip is damaged and requires a replacement motherboard.
I've had this problem when I corrupted my recovery by using FlashFire and my bootloader was locked. Though I was able to restore my device using Fastboot. I had unlocked my device and instead of flashing the stock recovery when unlocking the bootloader I had flashed the Team Win Recovery Project recovery and when I tried to boot up to TWRP recovery it would stay for a couple of second displaying that it couldn't wipe the data partition and then reboot me back into bootloader mode. I fixed that when trying out the following steps:
1= Download the latest firmware of the device found Here .
2= Boot the device to Fastboot mode (aka Bootloader mode) plug the device in and unlock the bootloader (of coarse confirm when asked by the device).
3= After seeing that the device has stopped wiping data indicated the text "wiping..." in the very bottom of the specifications in the Fastboot Bootloader REBOOT THE DEVICE IN FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE by navigating using Volume buttons to scroll down and highlight the option "Reboot Bootloader" and then pressing the Power button.
4= Using the provided scripts for Windows , Mac and Linux flash the device with the firmware.
VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU SEE THAT IT IS FLASHING "userdata" and after that "cache" HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON THIS WILL FORCE THE DEVICE INTO FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE.
5= When you see that the device is in the Fastboot Bootloader mode scroll down (again using volume buttons) and highlight "Recovery Mode" then boot into Recovery and it should automatically start wiping the ("userdata" partition) Data once more that the bootloader said when it displayed the "wiping..." message after being unlocked.
If not wipe data factory reset the device manually by using the recovery and reboot to the system.
Optional: 6= IF the device has successfully booted up power it back down and lock the bootloader again using the fastboot tool additionally before locking the bootloader you can reset the warranty tamper flags.
This tutorial explains in detail how to flash a firmware to the Nexus 5 and shows how to restore the tamper flags.
I hope that I helped in some way.

Yes after unlocking Bootloader and restarting the device into the Bootloader it relocks and I'm back at square one
The motherboard needs to be changed. I recommend looking for a used Nexus 5 with a smashed screen and a working motherboard as this may easier than trying to find a new motherboard.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried this already and it doesn't work because when I unlock the bootloader and reboot into the Bootloader it locks itself again making impossible to flash the system image
Ok so, this isn't my first time flashing and returning to stock with phones, just the worst. Any help is appreciated.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and tried to flash a few ROMS which were not working great so I went to go back to stock and then the **** show happened. Its the LO4 Model. I flashed stock recovery, Relocked the bootloader and tried the Force Flash Update method. Well now the phone is stuck in a boot loop(Cant power it down), cant boot to erecovery/ recovery -- I can get to fast boot mode but the FRP is locked so I can not do anything all commands fail with an error.
Any thoughts? I just need to get it back to stock OR a working ROM- I plan on selling this phone and My wife (it was her phone) has upgraded to a Galaxy S9. If I cant get it to work, I will post it on swappa as is for a cheap price
Thanks!
Same Issue
I did the same thing, however when in fastboot type fastboot oem unlock (put the code here) and this will unlock your bootloader. I did this I even managed to flash the stock system cust recovery and boot, but it doesnt boot into recovory, erecover, or even download mode to download the software from the sd card. Any ideas?
I tried that fastboot code and I get an error because of the FRP lock
"Can't find valid operating system" on bootup, bootloader is locked so I can't flash
I was locking my bootloader because I didn't want to have my phone rooted anymore. So, I factory reset it, set it up, and then went into the bootloader and typed "fastboot flashing lock". I selected yes to confirm the locking of my bootloader and then my phone rebooted. But now my phone says "Can't find valid operating system" and I can't boot into Android. I can't even flash a stock image, because I locked the bootloader. I can't unlock the bootloader, since I can't go into the OS and turn OEM Unlock on. Am I screwed?

Factory reset doesn't reverse changes made by rooting, you needed to reflash stock firmware before relocking.
Depending on the model it likely isn't good, every OEM does things a little different.

Hey there,
I have a Pixel 3a, which refuses to start. After powering on, it directly hangs on the first google logo forever.
The device has stock rom and a locked bootloader.
I can still enter fastboot, but when I try to enter recovery mode from there I'm stuck at the google logo again.
Is there anything left I can do to revive the device?
- I cannot unlock the bootloader, because I need to the check this oem unlock setting which in turn is not possible whithout a working device. Or is there a different way?
- I cannot switch the A/B slot because the device is locked.
- I cannot flash something because the device is locked.
I'm grateful for any advice.

Hi there.
A couple of questions first:
Does it respond to any adb or fastboot commands?
Does it enter into Recovery or Rescue mode from Fastboot?
If yes, then your best bet is either https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/ or https://flash.android.com/
Both tools should work even with a locked bootloader, you just need Chrome and the USB driver.
Be warned tho, both tools will erase and factory reset your phone.
