Boot loop! Help! - HTC One SV

Hi,
A few weeks ago, I found my wife's HTC One SV (k2ul, Europe, LTE) that was forgotten in a drawer for a few months. I wanted to use it as a secondary phone and began to process to upgrade it. I got it running on Venom 1.5, running Android 4.2.2. It worked OK a few days then I had a few strange reboots. I re-flashed Venom 1.5, strange reboots again. Re-flashed it once again and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. It boots, shows the HTC green logo, black screen, vibrates, HTC green logo, rinse and repeat.
The installed recovery was TWRP 2.7.0.1, but it had this annoying bug that when the USB cable was plugged, the touchscreen didn't work. I found TWRP 2.8.7.1-k2u/ul which fixed this issue.
With both TWRP versions, I tried three ROMS:
ViperSV_1.5.0.zip (4.2.2)
k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1_stock_odexed_v3.zip (4.2.2)
Saturn+III+v1.20 (4.1.2)
I also tried sideloading them.
I can't get out of this boot loop (tried full wipes, partial wipes, etc.). I tried with a SD card, without SD card, with a SIM card, without a SIM card. Boot loop. I read each and every topics about SV boot loops. Nothing worked.
Do anyone here have an idea of something I could try? Here is what my bootloader displays:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
K2_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
RADIO-1.18.40a.00.05
OpenDSP-v13.2.0268.0620

HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to slect item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
Finally, let me explain why I tampered and unlocked my wife's phone: more than one year ago, HTC released 4.2.2, featuring a bastardized Sense 5.0. She applied the update and got in a rage because she hated it. She asked me to give her her beloved Sense 4 back, but the downgrade was officially not possible. Completely unfamiliar with HTC devices (I only had Nexuses devices at the time), I unlocked the phone and downgraded it to Android 4.1.2 running Sense 4. She then used the phone a few months without any problem and finally got an Xperia Z1, forgetting to One SV in a drawer. I'm not an expert with HTC phones, but I know my way through XDA and it's the first time that I can't get out of a softbrick.
[TL;DR] Tampered and unlocked, S-On HTC One SV k2ul boot loops, I tried everything to unbrick it, I'll try anything you suggest.

[Q] Factory reset doesn't respond

Hey Everyone, I've got a probem. During an update of some of my apps (Maps/Locations/etc.) my phone froze and I did a soft reset, after wich it didn't get further than the white screen with the green HTC letters, after some time normally it would show "quetly brilliant" but it freezes at the green letters.
I looked for similar problems on this and other forums and tried to do a hard reset, but when I get in the Boot menu (Vol down + power) and try to do a factory reset, it freezes before I can confirm to do a reset.
So I'm a little stuck, any suggestions what to do next?
ps. It's not rooted, boot menu shows:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0002

0.93.0002? .. have you ever rooted your phone in the past?
Also are you getting any other messages on your bootloader screen?
Which ROM were you on before this all happened? (Version please)
Hey zeekiz, thanks for the quick response. I have never rooted my phone in the past, actually have it little over a month now. The android version I was running is 2.3.5
Bootloader screen also shows:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
and when it starts in bootloader it scans the sd card for some .zip files.
thats all I get.
have you tried running the latest RUU found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
this might be worth a try!
That won't work because I can't get my phone to get past the boot screen, and you need to have the os runnin in order to do an update...
The same problem
I am also struggling with the same care, is it any solution?

Not quite true. You just have your phone connected using USB whilst it is in the bootloader (select Fastboot after you see the hboot screen with the stuff about IMG files). Then run the RUU. You may run into a different issue if the version you are currently on is higher than the RUU you are trying to install.

[Q] HTC desire crashing during boot

I'm having a bit of trouble with my HTC Desire. I know this is the 100th post regarding this topic, but other threads have been getting me nowhere.
It takes 5-10 min to get past the "HTC" and "Quietly Brilliant" screens... When it has finally booted, the device is unresponsive to any input.
HBOOT and FASTBOOT are working. I have used the "CLEAR STORAGE" in HBOOT... Without luck.
I can get the phone into recovery mode, ADB recognizes the S/N but shows device offline.
HBOOT screen shows:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010 17:52.18
The phone is not tweaked in any way...
Does anyone have a suggestion for my next approach?
Any help is appreciated.

bootloader
roboot
reboot bootloader
power down
here is the update. when i went into the bootloader. i wiped everything clean then i went the ext sd card and went to install the ROM PH98IMG.zip , after doing so i received an error message inside the android logo. inside of the bootloader, i did the update and got an error message. then tried to install PH98IMG.zip ROM. and still got an error message. when i was in the reboot mode the white screen. the PH98IMG.zip popped up in green and it said no file or wrong file as it loaded up. then i went into the bootloader. i did the update and this message popped up
E.can't open /sdcard/update zip (no such file or directory)
then when i went to flash it, it said that there is no file. installation aborted.then i was told i need to lock the bootloader first. so i used hasoon2000 all in one htc toolkit and clicked on the command prompt to relock bootloader. once i did that i was stuck on the white screen and cannot get out of this bootloop. now the message up top is as it reads now. what can i do to get out of this loop.
additional steps ive done, ive taken the battery out and the ext sd card out and hit the power button numerous times. nothing. i also did a factory reset on the phone while in the white screen hoping that would kick it out of the bootloop, also nothing. plz help me. im at the library with no using internet here until i can get my phone up and running before work....i have been here for hours working on this, im at my witts end.
one more thing. when i do a fastboot reboot a green heading pops up saying PH98IMG.zip saying no image or wrong image if that helps at all and then fades off. if that helps at all.

HTC One Mini S-Off Problems

Hi all,
I've put my A&TT htc one mini in a rather funky state. I attempted to use rumrunner s-off 0.5.0, and got to the pouring 2 step where the phone failed to boot. I've ended up in a boot loop where the splash screen (htc one, beats audio) will show up and then the phone will reboot to the htc phone screen and stay there and won't boot into the rom.
I've flashed he following rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535024.
I've created a video of the behavior that can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwtAhMkPF0etMUFxUzVoR1BXakE/edit?usp=sharing
I've tried reflashing the rom with the same behavior per @beaups reccomendation with no success, so I'm not sure what happened.
I do still have access to twrp and fastboot.
How can I get my phone back to a working state?
Thanks.

HTC One Mini 2 - stuck in bootloader, recovery can't be selected (not rooted)

Hi
I bought a HTC One Mini 2 through giffgaff just under a month ago, but for some unknown reason I'm getting a peculiar issue. I checked my phone about an hour ago and it was turned off, when I turned it back on it loaded a white screen with code within it...
The message states:
*LOCKED*
MEM_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.18.0.0000
RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OpenDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OS 2.16.401.1
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Then options to HBOT, RAMDUMP, REBOOT, REBOOT FASTBOOT and POWER DOWN.
I have absolutely no idea what this means, my phone isn't rooted which I've read can cause an issue....
Hopefully someone can help me out! Some suggestions highlight taking the battery out (don't know how to with the Mini 2) or resetting the phone. When I try the factory reset or recovery, nothing happens.
Thanks!
