[Q] HTC 8X A&T semi-"bricked" - details - help?

Boy, I've read a ton about this issue and no one seems to be able to solve this exact problem.
Got my hands on an HTC 8X which, if left to run normally, just hangs on the at&t logo screen.

And before you say anything, no, the hard reset doesn't work, because using the initial volume down/power procedure reboots the phone...the hard reset must be done from "off," not reboot. Plus, if the battery runs out entirely, the device will just enter the reboot cycle again when recharged. Just like the issue discussed here -> http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=19892&news=windows+phone+8+bricked+htc+8x+nokia+lumia+920+microsoft+bricking
Now, I can reliably get the device to either the "flash settings" static screen, like this, almost every time I try doing volume up keypresses from boot:
...OR I can get it to the root system info screen, like this, almost every time I do some multiple volume down keypresses interspersed with an up keypress at boot, while connected to my computer via USB [if I disconnect, the screen changes to "serial"]:
However, I can't figure out how to bring it back from the dead.
Note that I am not a ROM cook and don't even own a Y-cable, so be gentle if you're going to talk about anything along those lines. However, any advice that isn't related to the hard reset? If so, thanks. If not, at least I've documented this specific "semi-bricked" state on here.

I know you don't want any advice related to the hard-reset method, but I am curious if you tried the following:
1. Run the phone down until the batter is 100% dead. (unresponsive when you hit the power switch.
2. While plugging in the power cable, press and hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons, Release them when you see an icon on the screen.
3. Then press the following hardware buttons in this sequence: VOLUME UP > VOLUME DOWN > POWER > VOLUME DOWN.
Let me know how you make out.

Yep, I absolutely did that, but thanks. Did not work. Would only reboot the phone and lock it on the at&t screen again.

Sounds like no one can help here.
Without an At&t stock ROM, it will be tough to fix this.
What did you end up doing with your phone? Any luck?

Got the same problem on my HTC 8X AT&T. Got a RMA setup with HTC. What did you do?

Z3 froze

As the title stated. I have yet to do anything to my z3.
no root or anything....
Missed my two hours lecture because of it
the notification light is on and blinking but the phone itself will not respond when pressing the power button or double tapping the screen.
had to try pressing power button with volume up to hard reboot it (i don't know but it works, got this technique from rooting my S3)
Anyone with Z3 encountered this problem yet?
my model is D6603

Try the following step:
1). Remove your phone case/cover if you have one
2). Open the MicroSD/NanoSim Flap
3). Get a pin and push the small emergency off button which is yellowish ; Example below

Umm..What exactly does the button do when you press it?
I didn't have to pressed the yellow button to fix it but simply by pressing volume up and power button.
Was asking if anyone has the same experience cuz im worried about mine being defective, only had it for 2 months i think

It happened for me just one time, i had it for 3 weeks. Anyway that button simply does forces the phone shut down, it also works if you are stuck in the bootloader

You had it for three weeks??
Could you be more specific?
THX

I had the Sony Xperia Z3 for three weeks, there was a ram overuse and it froze, i put that button and it turned off.

It happened to me once since Sp. '14 and reset button solved the issue...

It simply forces a shutdown, It won't affect your data, i believe it will vibrate 3 times once it shuts off or something like that

GT-P3110 "hard"-bricked?

Hello!
I today received a tab2 because it's "bricked".
Indeed, I cannot put it on, nor can I enter neither recovery nor download mode.
The only things I can see is, only when charging (!) 2 different screens (see attachments):
The first is made of one green line where you can read: " "charging_7.jpg" draw failed" [n°1*]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The second is a green line where you can read "ani_upload_4_unknown_reset.jpg" draw failed". [n°2*]
As I said, I can't reach these screens when tab seems to be charged.
I've tried to connect to my pc, but it's not recognised, nor by the pc itself, nor in Odin3. My Samsung drivers ARE correctly functionning!
To get the first screen [n°1*] I only have to put the device plug into the charger.
To get the second screen [n°2*] I need to push on BOTH volume up AND down + power button, then release one of the two volume button (works with both vol+ or vol-)...
Tried to simply hold vol- button + power, nothing happens. Same with vol+ and power buttons.
Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance!!

Hard to get it working when there is no download more or recovery or not recognized on the pc, the only solution left after this is a riffbox or jtag.

Thank you for your response, I was beginning to despair ...
For cons, I do not understand what a "riffbox or jtag" are, can you explain me please? Thanks!!!
Edit: I've googled it to find out what it is... Not for me of course. No other solution I suppose in regards of the many answers I received?...

I won't suggest you to dig out more in this regards by yourself. riffbox and jtag are better left out to the tech guys who will charge money.
any other process will involve a lot more which is not worth the hassle and risk.

what's up your t5c now ?

Hello,sorry but that's my 1st time in a forum,and i hope to write in the right place... Ok,listen please, i try a disaster! In a moment of confusion and disattention I’ll wipe all sistem with twrp,and i repeat WIPED All Sistem. I never had do Nand backup. Now, phone is always started in 1st start sreen with only Android word on screen. It doesn’t shut down and if i try to push off,in some secons it restart. I have a leagoo t5c. With pc i’d downloading every drivers and firmware,but pc doesnt see phone,or if it do that,spd can’t install firmware. Can you teach me,if there’s a metod,to reinstall all system if it is possible with Windows 10. Thank’s for attention, have a nice day to everybody!

I don't know if you finally got to salvage your T5c, but in order for the flashing app to recognize your phone, you must leave it turned off, THEN plug it into a USB port on your PC, THEN press the Power button AND Volume Up button AND Volume Down button at the same time.
You wait a few seconds, and you should see the phone appear in the flashing app main window with the word "Ready" in the lower left corner. Then you can click on the Download button in the top menu bar, and wait until you see a green "Passed" mention. Then you can unplug your phone and either configure it as a new device (that's what I do) or restore content from a backup.

HTC One S Model Z560e wont start: Software for USB troubleshooting / recovering data

Hi everybody,
I‘m afraid my HTC One S has now completely broken down.
The last years I had a few times the problem, that the phone would not start. Only after opening the phone and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery the phone was able to start again.
However in the last week the phone shut itself down about 5 times.
Two days ago this happened during a phone call. There was a continuous tone for about 30 seconds while the display was black.
Now it won’t start no matter what.
I’ve tried already:
holding power button (for a short and long time),
holding power and volume down button,
disconnected battery,
nothing, there is no flickering of the display, no status LED, no vibration…
However when I connect the phone to a power supply the LED lights orange and it still wont start!
So I tried to connect the phone to the PC: When I press the power button, after 4 seconds I can hear the windows sound "USB device recognized" and if I don’t release the button the sound pops up every second.

QHSUSB_DLOAD: installing driver

Ports (COM & LPT):
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)

So the PC somehow recognizes the phone?
Is there a software or any other way tho start the phone again or at least can I somehow access my data?
Thank you very much for any kind of input!!!

The first thing you should do is check the voltage of the battery, or otherwise the amperage, if all is well, you should go to the Stock Roms

don´t forget tell´us

Assuming you're still looking to fix your phone, assuming your battery is fine, your eMMC may be going bad, and fastboot/modem/bootloader certainly could be corrupt. Good thing someone recently uploaded the magic hex to the One S. Once I can snag some files from the RUUs, I think it's possible to revive both your and my dead One S.
