Try to factory reset the phone. Instructions from official htc site:
Performing a factory reset using hardware buttons
If you can’t turn HTC One S on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC One S.
Important: The Fast boot option in Settings > Power must not be selected.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

Already did that, used the RUU and it worked, sort of...
if it power ups completely I cant reboot it because it goes back to a bootloop and the Wifi doesn't work it gives an error when you try to start it.
Its starting to drive me nuts

Have you flashed custom ROM or recovery previously? No unlocked bootloader?

No, completely stock virgin never touched.
The wierd thing is sometimes it gets stuck on a bootloop and then it boots out of the blue.

Can't access stock recovery on 4.4.2?

Not sure if anyone else has tried but today's ioroot 25 update includes root for those on 4.4.2. I tried using the manual method indicated only to realize that I can't reboot into the stock recovery. Apparently two other people with the D801 have the same problem, where after doing "adb reboot recovery" the phone boots into recovery for an instant and immediately reboots. Can anyone else running stock 4.4.2 confirm whether they experience the same behavior?

Same issue for me, I suppose the only difference is mine rebooted then wiped my phone the booted back up. Looks like we can not boot into recovery?

That sucks. By any chance did you happen to have a copy of the stock ROM on your phone? I'm wondering if it just automatically flashes whatever file is made available to it. I did notice some of my widgets were reset but otherwise I can't see that anything about my phone was changed.

No, sure didn't. I have it all setup again.. Going to hold off now until we see a for sure fix.
I really miss having root so I decided to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
But now for what ever reason attempting to back to 4.2.2 will not work. Fails every time... I didn't have that issue before so I am not sure what the deal is.

TMO D801 users on KK... there is SOME hope still. I am on ZVA on my Sprint G2(4.2.2) which has no "adb reboot recovery" option... it does tne same thing thats happening to you guys.. quick "system update" msg (or something along those lines) and then reboots phone.
now.. on sprint g2.. vol up + power brings you to the hard reset menu. BUT.. vol down + power brings me to the full STOCK recovery menu.
Now I know your method to get into the hard reboot screen is different.. i believe its vol down + power.. let go at lg screen the press again? well has anyone tried any alternate combos? there may be another button combo to bring you into the full stock recovery menu instead of the hard reset menu. once at the full recovery menu you can use adb sideload to flash to kk_root.zip in ioroot25.
good luck

It seems that ours is not the only model G2 with this issue. Looks like if we can figure out the button combo to bring us into stock recovery we should be able to get this to work. Having spent the greater part of the last hour trying to come up with something, I still haven't found anything. What I do know is pressing vol down + power until the LG logo and either vol down + power OR vol up + power will take me to the hard reset menu.
I also managed to get to a menu that asked if I want to answer phone calls with physical buttons by holding down all three, releasing and holding them again. But for some reason I wasn't able to replicate this. Now when I continue holding down all three buttons at the LG logo, after getting there using any button combo, the phone just shuts off.
Has anyone successfully entered the D801 stock recovery using button combos? I have yet to find any method other G2 users discussed that works for me.

[Q] Stuck on boot screen

Hi, my Shield is stuck on its boot screen, the one with the green shield and the mist whatever. I've tried restarting it but nothing is happening. I don't even know what caused it, I just picked it up and opened it and it was on its boot screen. Last thing I knew before it, it was working perfectly fine. I don't have recovery installed... It is rooted but I doubt that would cause this... any help?

That's happened to me before.have you tried leaving it off for a few minutes and then restarting it. maybe try while its on the charger.If that doesn't solve it I would attempt to boot into stock recovery and perform a FDR. either way someone will get you back up and running again.

Well yes, I hold home and back when I turn it on, and it brings me to a screen with these options:
Continue
Restart Bootloader
Recovery mode
Reboot
Poweroff
Selecting "Recovery mode" just brings me to a screen that says "no command". I tried doing various button commands to try and make something happen, but nothing happens.

I realize that but Keep trying there's a two button combo to get the RECOVERY MENU to show up. If you can't get it I'll go get my shield and flash the stock recovery so i can figure it out.

Nvidia Shield Portable
My sons Shield Portable is stuck on the screen that has a dead looking Android that says no command after trying to install a factory update. I have tried holding down the power button the home button and back button to try and recover. The recovery mode did nothing. The restart bootloader did nothing. I have pressed the power button and the home button at same time to try and wipe the data. I did wipe and hit the factory reset once I did that I hit reboot. when it started back up it still says the same thing. Please help

same problem
I have the same problem if anyone knows the combo to go straight into recovery I would really appreciate it.

if your phone boots into a black screen its not hardbricked, hardbricked means it wont turn on at all and you have no indicators

Unplug your phone and hold volume up and power for 30
seconds. Do not have it plugged in while doing this.

You may need to uncheck usb debugging in developer options then reboot and go in and check usb debugging again then try adb tools using adb devices and see if it works then. Some m8's can be a real pain that way you just need to keep trying.

I would run the newest ruu that dottat has posted in the android development section for this phone, put it on your sd card using your computer, then put it back in your phone and boot to fastboot and let it pick it up and hit I believe it is yes and it will restore your phone. You are on 4.4.4 right ? If you are having problems getting to fastboot hold power and volume up until you see the lights change and or it vibrate then quickly switch to power and volume down and it should take you to fastboot, it may take you multiple tries to get it there. This sounds like the screen of death issues people have had on viperone which the fix for that so far has been to reverse the 4g handoff fix as most people that have the sod they had used the 4g handoff fix but if you cant get past the black screen then you cant do the fix for that. Have you tried leaving your phone sit for a while to see if it comes out of it ? Also most people only had that issue in weak signal areas so a good signal area could get your screen working again if you had done the 4g handoff fix. If you did some have said that the change can stick even through a ruu, but I cannot verify that either way.

Can I say I'm having an almost same problem.
I wiped my phone in prep of loading a new rom.
RUU the firmware for 4.4.4
Loaded twrp
and then it rebooted to the htc screen.
Now I can't get past that screen. I can hard reboot but it only comes back to that screen. and if I try to access it through the computer it can't load the driver so that I can sideload.
Help please

it's tricky to get it back to hboot... but you can with practice. Hold power a both volume buttons until you think it finally has rebooted. Switch to only holding vol down to enter hboot. Timing and practice makes perfect.

It took about an hour of trying. But I did it. Plus I had to do a few other things to get things remounted.

Once I was back in recovery I reformatted before rebooting and then from recovery I installed the rom.

I agree with Dottat, faced the same issue when trying to flash ARHD 22.1 on my Verizon M8. I think I sprayed some **** in my pants with that loud fart .
After trying several times I got the trick and could get into Hboot. The issue I think was I was holding Power + Volume up & down for more than required time and it Rebooted. We need to Switch Off the device by Holding Power + Volume UP & Down button for about 8-10 secs and then just remove the finger from Volume UP button. It takes you to Hboot mode..

hard bricked my MT-TL10

Hi there,
Kindly help... I successfully installed B512 on my TL10 using force upgrade method, afterwhich I changed recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 using mobopx v2.2, which was also successful. And then I installed SuperSU 2.46 via TWRP, then cleared cache/dalvik. But upon rebooting system, I get a blank screen, even after waiting for more than 15 minutes.
And so I tried going to TWRP (Vol+ and power), which was successful, in order to boot to bootloader, with the intention of loading back the stock bootloader via adb, so that I can force install B512 from my microSD card again. It seemed to install fine...
However, at this point, I cannot reboot to bootloader (Vol- and power) anymore, I only get blank screen. Trying recovery (Vol+ and power) doesn't work either. Rebooting normally gives me the same. I cannot by any means connect via adb now.
Is there any way to unbrick my phone at this point?
Thanks so much. Cheers.

Let it get fully charged first. Then remove the charger and keep the Vol up and power button pressed for ~10 secs or more, and see where it takes you.

You seem to be in a sticky situation bro. Your recovery seems to be broken because in stock recovery Vol up + power should ideally take you to recovery and not restart. If you could somehow boot into fastboot mode then it could open up some options to bring your phone to life.
With no way to connect to the phone the only options left are the hardware buttons. I am sure you'd have tried them already, but just in case you have not, try the other 2 key combinations also, Vol down + power and Vol up + Volume down + power, for ~10 secs, to check if any of these either forces a factory reset or boots the phone into fastboot mode.

Thank you for this suggestion brother. I tried exactly as you described, however, the phone looks badly discharged, and while the screen was blinking/showing the red battery icon, it doesn't seem to want to charge. I waited around 5 minutes, but nothing seems to progress from here.
And so now, I moved the USB cable to a proper charger, and now it seems to be charging, with the LED light a steady red, and the screen the normal red circle with "0%" inside. It seems to be charging at the moment, although I really have to wait until it shows "1%" until I can surely say so.
One thing that's different now is that the phone hasn't turned on (by itself) yet. And at least this looks promising.
I'll let you know what happens in a while... Thank you!
