I have a stock HTC One S from T-Mobile.
My phone freaked out (blinking and not responding to keys) the other morning and I shut it down by holding the power button. It was extremely close to dead as well.
I've only been getting a flashing orange light and not the constant one for a charge. While it's plugged in it will reach the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and restart.
It keeps doing this forever.
I've tried going into the bootloader but it freezes when I try to clear the data or do a factory reset.
As of right now I got it to stop rebooting by using the shutdown method in the fastboot options after ~10 tries. It has been charging ~30 mins and the light is still flashing and not staying constant.
I can't afford another phone. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Almost the same problem here after I installed an update (don't know which one). I get the HTC Quietly Brilliant and then it reboots until it runs out of power. Hooking it up to a computer, wall charger (tried two different ones) shows the red LED charging light for a while, and then it reboots. It seems like my battery just wont charge, so I can't reset or flash back original ROM. It just shuts off after a couple of seconds. I can go into recovery if plugged to a computer for as long as I like, but as soon as I try to flash, it turns off and goes into reboot loop.
Hello guys.
About an hour ago, I tried to access my WiFi configs, and realized it would take me back to the start screen. So I rebooted my phone. The thing is, it is now stuck in the big red Motorola/Intel logo, and keeps looping.
If I try to turn it off by using the Power button, it doesn't work. If I try to reset using Power + Vol Down, it just restarts the loop. I can't get into recovery mode, because it won't turn off.
I really don't know what to do. My phone is still trying to boot for the past hour, and I really need it, asap.
It is running Android 4.1.2. No root. As stock as it gets.
Any advice, guys? Please

I have the exact same problem.
My phone (non rooted, stock Android) has been freezing quite a lot for the past 1 or 2 weeks. Sometimes rebooting on its own, sometimes I had to force it. This afternoon it froze again and I had to force reboot, where it started freezing at the Motorola logo. I cant go any further since rebooting just makes it loop that way.
I waited for the battery to deplete so my phone eventually turned off, charged it back at around 60% and tried to go into recovery mode with power+volume up+volume down. Same results. I don't think I could have failed the recovery mode procedure because I had practiced and knew I would only get 1 chance of succeeding.
Anyone has experience with this ?
I will see if Motorola or my retailer will repair/replace it for free under warranty terms, otherwise I will try opening it up for some cleaning and maybe further attempts with control over the battery.

Well, Motorola did repair my phone for free, but I live in Brazil. It took them 1 day to repair. They say that part of the circuit board was damaged, but I don't know what could be the cause. Maybe overheat? I don't know about your phone, but mine would get up to 50ºC while using Skype.
This is the first time this has happened. Basically the screen will just turn black randomly and the Google image pops up for a couple seconds before staying off. The first 3 times it happened I was able to turn it back on by just holding the power button. After that, however, it got stuck in a boot cycle until I plugged it into a charger and tried. So far with the charger plugged in it hasn't turned off yet.
I've attached a screenshot of my battery status. It seems the battery disappeared for a few hours?
Does your battery smell like sulphur?
Sounds like a stuck power button unfortunately. Quite common.
I'd say try flashing stock firmware again with fastboot.... But if it reboots while flashing, you'll be in more trouble.
Let it sit in bootloader mode awhile... See if it reboots or anything. If not, you could try flashing stock firmware. But hopefully it doesn't shutdown mid-install.... That wouldn't be good.
So I was texting the other night when my phone just rebooted. I see this is a common thing nowadays, but my problem is a little bit more f'ed up. My phone reboots and gets stuck at the Google screen, sometimes it goes past that, to the spinning dots, but just for a second because it reboots again, and again, and again. I tried booting it up with Volume Down + Power button, it get's to the bootloader screen but again, just for a second, because it reboots. I am sure that it is not the battery that is drained because I left the phone charging over night.
Can someone please help me?
Stuck power button issue?
Can you explain please? If this is the case, what should I do?
I never had that issue - I just read about it a few times. Maybe try searching the forums RMA maybe?
I haven't got any experience whatsoever with any of the tools for this phone as it's my girlfriends. Her phone has started bootlooping after an overheat. It flashes the htc logo goes black then flashes it again a few seconds later. Even when I go into recovery it just reboots again a few seconds later. After it starts I have to wait till the battery is completely dead before it'll stop. Any ideas?

If she never rooted/twrp her phone, and you stated it was after an overheat, you're definately facing hardware problems. If the phone can't even stable boot into recovery to do a factory reset you're out of luck as trying it could result in hard brick.
Check if the power button isn't cloged with dust and is working properly...(if the power buttons is causing the phone to reboot the led buttons will flash 4-5 times)
Just my two cents...
