Hello everyone,
Some time ago I've decided to flash a costume ROM on my HTC One S (S4), as its warranty expired. This is my first time doing such a thing to an Android device.
Earlier today, I unlocked the bootloader successfully, flashed Team Win Recovery Project and than flashed the latest snapshot of CyanogenMod 11 by following the steps described in the CyanogenMod website.
After the installation finished, I rebooted the device from the TWRP menu. However, the device did not boot at all.
If I try powering the device on (holding the power button for 2-3 seconds) or try getting to the bootloader menu (holding the volume down and power buttons), nothing happens. Hard reset does not work either: I hold the power button, the soft buttons (back-home-recent apps) blink fifteen time, the HTC splash screen ("quietly brilliant") is shown, and then the phone shuts down again.
* The battery is not drained -- after I installed the ROM, the device had around 90% charge.
* My computer does not recognize the device, so I cannot use adb or fastboot commands. [Obviously, this is not a driver problem -- I used the same computer to unlock bootloader and for the flashing.]
Is my device bricked? If not, is there a solution for my problem?
Thanks in advance,
Yoni

You may have a chance if you can get into "Bootloader"
Try holding the Power Button and Count to 10 Exactly to power it down and then try Power Button and Volume Down to get into "Bootloader" (Unplug the USB)
If you can get into Bootloader, check if your phone is "S-off". If its "S-on" Then you flash the kernal into the phone..

Try to hold all buttons of your phone down for about 10 seconds and then your phone should restart itself.
Force your device to reboot by holding volume down, home button and power button at the same time. Hold the buttons down until the device reboots.
From then you can attempt to flash stock firmware via Odin and then making sure that you have enabled OEM unlock in developer options and that you have the correct TWRP for your device (Check MD5, to make sure it isn't corrupted)
Didn't help!

Hey! How did you manage to solve the problem? I'm having the same issue.
Hello, I recently came on a pixel phone to build and use lineageOS on. Upon rebuilding, I believe I performed adb sync wrong the device and damaged system. After that, my adb keys became unauthorized and I am unable to access the bootloader menu(I press power and volume, but phone boots into Bootloop). I tried the steps to get to bootloader menu, but the phone doesn't power completely off, and when I press the power button it gives me the launch screen saying press power to pause/continue boot, not allowing me to go into bootloader
My bootloop goes like this: Bootloader integrity screen(bootloader unlocked, cannot be verified) --> Google loading screen --> Android recovery. This shows 2 options with the message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device". The two options are to try again or data reset.
I press try again, and the same bootloop ensues, sometimes getting to lineage loading logo, but then back to the same recovery error regardless. If I press the buttons(power and vol up), to go into recovery, it just shows an android with a warning sign above it, giving a message saying "Error!" on the bottom. My adb on the computer shows as unauthorized, so I don't know how I can fix this. Google has said the warranty is expired and cannot do anything to help. Ideas to fix? Thanks for help in advance!
Use power and volume down (not up) to go into Fastboot mode. Then flash the stock images

I tried that, but whenever I press any button, the phone is never turning completely off unless it dies. Even after that, it goes to the screen showing the secure boot integrity(Press power to continue/stop boot)
How can I completely shut off the device and restart it? And if system is messed up, will that leave my bootloader intact(I'm assuming so as boot is a different partition?)

Does holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds turn it off? Or if you do that does it appear to turn off and then restart?
If that fails to turn it off, try just holding power and volume down for 5 seconds, and if the screen flashes (goes off and then on) let go of the power button but keep holding volume down and hopefully it goes into Fastboot.
That should work unless you have a dodgy power or volume button. The bootloader is completely separate to the boot partition, and the fact that it's doing anything at all suggests that it's still functioning.
Only other option I can think of is trying ADB commands when it's in recovery mode, e.g. adb reboot bootloader. However, if you have the stock recovery, that may not work.

Thank You!!! It didn't work in the bootloop, so I had to let the phone drain its battery and shut itself off, then I was able to enter the bootloader and reinstall lineage. Thanks so much!

Is ur bootloader unlocked? If so, use twrp to perform a full wipe and install from twrp as well. Of you can't access trwp, and are in a bootloop, do the same thing I did: let the phone lose all it's battery, so it's outta the loop, connect the phone to a charger, then hold power and volume down. This should get you into bootloader mode where you can then use fastboot to flash twrp.

My bootloader is unlocked but phone not detected on pc only black screen nothing else.... Red light flashes whenever connect to charger
Hello,
My phone went into bootloop and I cannot do anything to open it. I cannot connect it to the computer or wipe all data from the phone. I have never done aything on it and the bootloop happened while i was sleeping. Woke up to find that the phone is constantly rebooting. Also the phone does not stay in fast boot mode. I managed to open the recovery mode and select wipe all data but the process interrupts and the phone reboots again. I also think that the power button might have a problem because when i only press the volume down button the device enters fast boot mode. Thanks in any help
Your power button may have been stuck. Try to press it harder or from one end.

I have opened to phone to see that the power button was indeed stuck. Had to jam a piece of paper there to make it stop for now.
Install the Recovery ROM with MiPCSuite.
Hello Friends
My Honor 8 is broken after power down due to empty battery.
eRecovery is not working
Phone is not rooted.
my bootloader isn't unlocked.
Is it possible to Unlock Bootloader from Sdcard?
Cant come in the phone to turn on usb debugging .
Is it possible ?
You can boot into recovery using EMUI Factory reset (keep pressed Volume Up and Power button, having previously phone powered down) - for this you don't need to unlock anything.
