I originally had my phone rooted but I wanted to update my software to Jelly Bean so I unrooted it.
For some odd reason, the software didn't update even after I unrooted it, and I've tried everything but I think
I messed something up because now I can't even get back to the home screen
It's stuck in the HTC logo white screen and I can get into the bootloader menu page by pressing down on the volume and
power key.
But no matter what I press, like I selected the factory reset but it keeps coming back to the bootloader page.
I just want to get back to my home screen.
I'm a COMPLETE NOOB that does not know anything about flashing rom or boot.img or those things.
Please help I can't sleep because of this
Bought a used, not working HTC ONE S. turns on and off about every minute to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen. If I hold volume down while it is doing this it goes to bootloader screen. From there, I can not get to recovery, I can see barcode screen, I can get to bootloader-usb and pc identifies it as an htc android device in device manager. Can not really power it down from bootloader screen, it powers down for few seconds them goes back to htc screen on and off. Any suggestions?
Just go into Fastboot Mode and flash another Recovery, then you should be able to access it and flash another or try a factory reset.
My phone seems to be stuck in download mode. I'm trying to get it to recovery, all attempts result in it going back to download.
I just don't know how to get something else showing on here.
Background: Phone was rooted on Kitkat but I lost the root when I upgraded to Lollipop.
Was trying to root the phone with via the one click (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951) which seems simple enough. However, my phone would not enter into download mode so I couldn't continue the steps. I found someone with my exact problem right here on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57125760&postcount=9) and in doing what he did, my phone DID enter into download mode, just got stuck in it.
Edit: In pressing Volume Down and Power off and on (press them, release them, press them, release them, etc) an unknown white screen that reads "Factory Data Reset" and a "yes" and "no" has came up. I don't know if I replaced my CWM recovery with this weird thing, in doing what the XDA poster said?? Even if I press "yes", the download mode screen comes back upon restart.
2nd edit: I did get it working. Left the phone connected to the LGMobile Support Tool while I tried the "Upgrade Recovery" again and after a few tries of that it turned on all by itself. Will try rooting again, hopefully succesfully this time
Greetings all, As the title suggest I have an HTC One A9 unlocked and I am trying to factory reset it after re-locking bootloader. However, Whenever I boot into boot mode and select to reboot into Recovery mode I am greeted with "Failed to boot to recovery mode" With suggestions to press volume up or down to go back into bootmode. Upon resetting my phone I am sent to a data encryption screen where it ask to enter a password to decrypt my data, Now I can enter any number I want and it goes through saying "The password you entered is correct but your data is corrupt." And gives me a button to factory reset my phone, So I press it and it resets my phone and enters bootmode where my only options are; Reboot, Reboot to bootloader, Boot to download mode, reboot to recovery (Which I just covered does not work for me), Power down. I've looked into this problem before coming here and other people with similar problems have no problems entering recovery mode and even have an option to factory reset the phone from the boot loader menu, However I do not have that 'Factory reset' option in my boot loader menu.
I've spent the last two hours looking at various websites and various topics in this forum but cannot find a solution to aid me. I was hoping to be able to just fix this and return to my phones current settings without wiping anything, But at this point I'll be happy to be able to just get past this and will be satisfied with factory wiping the phone and having it be useable, As I'd like to avoid having to buy a new phone it at all possible.
When I go to recovery mode, I get a phone icon with a red symbol in it. Then I'm able to hold power button and tap the vol up button to proceed. If you're fine wiping the phone, have you tried using the .exe rom file from the HTC site? You need HTC sync installed on the PC, and have phone in download mode use it (at least that's what I've had to do). It should, I believe, reflash recovery mode.

The easyest way should: take your matching RUU and flash your device. This solves your problem
Hey All
Need some help. I accidentally messed up my volume buttons on an HTC M8 and had to use adb to boot into recovery. After booting into recovery, I completely wiped my phone (customer ROM) using team win v2.7.0.0 with the intention of installing an official ROM. (Totally forgot I would need the Volume buttons).
Restarted my phone which seems to be stuck on the white HTC logo boot screen (understandable as I have no ROM on it now).
However, How do I get to turn it off firstly. I have held the Power button for over 2 minutes which seems not to solve the problem. Secondly is there a way I can boot into recovery without Volume buttons when the phone goes off eventually.
adb needs to detect the kernel for it to send instructions from what it seems as it keeps giving the response my device is offline on the white screen.
Is there a way of using adb to boot the device into recovery when the phone is off. Any help or suggestions you may have would be gladly appreciated.
