[Q] Cannot power down HTC One S! Help!

Ok so I think I may have accidentally deleted something I wasn't supposed to on the TWRP recovery and when I tried to reboot the phone (the system) it gave me a prompt saying "No OS Installed" or something like that. I ignored it and continued anyway. So basically the phone rebooted but it got stuck/froze on boot (where it says HTC blah blah). It's not really a boot loop where it keeps restarting it's just there froze. Now I now you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds or so but the phone just won't reboot or power down/turn off. I also tried holding down the volume down + power and it doesn't restart to recovery either. It's just there frozen. I'm trying to get to the bootloader or recovery so I can fix this issue but I can't even power down the phone! And this phone doesn't have a removable battery so that's out of the question. What can I do other than waiting for the phone's battery to die out?

Can you hold down the power button until the keys start flashing? It should boot if you press until the lights go out.
Can you reach it from adb or fastboot?

No. Like I said I already tried holding down the power button for several seconds up to a minutes multiple times. The keys don't flash at all. It doesn't reboot or turn off. It's just stuck there. I tried holding down the volume and power button as well. Nothing. It's just stuck there on that boot screen (HTC quietly brilliant). I can't reach the device on abd (it says offline) and I can't reach it on fastboot either

Hm. What exactly did you delete?
You could try to leave it on until battery low. Then charge, power on into bootloader.

I basically wiped the entire internal sd card. I also wiped the System.
Ok so now the phone is dead but I can't seem to boot into bootloader/recovery. I keep pressing volume down + power multiple times but it just doesn't work. And if I do turn it on normally it'll go back to the boot screen and stay frozen until the battery dies.

Ok so I managed to "/adb reboot-bootloader" from my computer. I noticed that there's no recovery option on the bootloader anymore. What the hell? Did I delete the recovery by mistake? How can I flash the recovery again?

Strange... Get a recovery and
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME
Good luck!

Ok so I actually did manage to get into TWRP Recovery (v2.3.3.0). But it says "No OS Installed" what does it mean by that? How can I fix it?
Actually when I try to do anything like wipe something or ADB Sideload i keep getting these errors:
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.
It seems that it can't locate my sd card. Although when I press mount I can see all the files on my computer but I can't see it on the TWRP's File Manager or when I try to install a .zip

Try latest twrp and see if it lets you wipe the sdcard.

I flashed the latest verison of TWRP and it's still doing the same thing. Same errors

Fixed
Mods you can close this thread. I found out what the problem was. It was the way the SD Card was formatted. I have a MacBook so I guess when I was formatting the SD Card on my Mac it wouldn't format it right or to a way recognizable to TWRP
The solution? I just wiped the internal SD Card on TWRP Recovery instead. That fix all the "E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'" issue.

Yeah I didn't know what you meant exactly. I thought you meant to wipe the sd card any way like through the computer (since my Mac read the sd card, oddly). But I guess you meant to do it inside of TRWP. Thanks

Huawei Honor 6(H60-L04) Bootlooped, can`t unbrick it. Help, please!!

Hello, everyone
May be a month ago Android had an update. After that it worked fine, but two-three weeks later it had bootlooped.
RESCUE MODE:
Attention! Please update system again.
Error!
Func No: 13 (FUNC_BOOT_FLASH)
Error NO: 1
FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE:
Phone locked
The phone had NO software changes.
What is now - somehow i unlocked bootloader - by "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" it wrights that bootloader is unlocked, put on the screen it is still LOCKED.
It is seems that it doesn`t boot in recovery mode - only what I wrote above.
Is there any hope of bringing it lo life??
Thanks in advance!

Does it boot into recovery?

No, Only Fastboot&Rescue and RESCUE mode
or I misunderstand how to boot into recovery?

Well, you boot into the recovery by pressing vol+ and power, on my L02 it takes like 5 seconds or so till the screen turns on, then I release the power button but I still hold the vol+ until it goes into recovery.
Have you also tried pressing and holding all the three buttons at the same time? It can be used to install a software package located on an micro sd card. If you can get into that updater, then that would enable you to try flashing a full ROM.

I tried to load on SD card a folder "dload" with UPDATE.APP - but there is no changes (
What is quite terrible - i don`t know the exact system modification it had, before bootlooping

Honor 8 Hard Bricked after Rollback

I went back to Stock Rom and first flashed the Rollback B300 and then B131.
After that Im stuck the whole time on the Honor Logo.
I tried to get into eRecovery, TWRP and Stock Recovery, nothing works, only Bootloader but I cant flash a ROM cause the 3 Button Method also dont work.
Any solutions or maybe totally dead Device?

If Before flashing rollback pakage you were on a nougat custom rom/emui 5:
-download from firmware finder page's the emui 5 firmware that you had before
- use Huawei firmware extractor to extract .IMG files
-using fastboot flash these partitions:system boot recovery recovery2, if commans are not allowed unlock your bootloader again even if it is unlocked yet, (your phone would be unbricked, using dload method flash rollback package and your emui4 firmware)

tried it, doesnt work.

nothing works, i also got red blinking light.

It is not hard bricked. You also can't flash anything else since the bootloader is locked (or you unlocked it after downgrading).
Anyways, you should be able to boot to recovery. As soon as your device sticks at Honor logo, hold down the power button to reboot. As soon as the screen goes black, immediately leave the power button and press it again in combination with the Volume Up button. Hold this combination until you hear a vibration and the Honor screen. Your device should now boot to recovery. Perform a Factory Reset and reboot the device.
Hopefully your device will now successfully boot to system.
And the red blinking light indicates that the battery is low. Nothing else.

It wont boot, I only see the bootloader warning and when I hold the Volumen Up Button, it just says "Your Device is booting now..." and after some time it reboots itself.
I tested this with stock e recovery + stock recovery and also with TWRP.
Its just the same every time.
I also got this black screen with the red thunder logo before something else happens.
And i also cant do nothing without charger, if i try to turn it on without charger, it just blinks two times red and the screen stays black.

Old problem fixed, new Problem, I cant flash or install anything cause TWRP always gives me the error.
Can't mount /data
and
Can't mount Storage
What now?

Before doing this, try to move the data (files) from your storage and follow this:
Go to wipe and go to advanced, wipe data and storage, even if it's says error, wipe them again.
Then reboot to TWRP and see if it's fixed

I cant do nothing in storage, it says 0 mb, its not mounted so i cant do nothing in storage.
edit: tried it, operation says Successful, but still the same error after some reboots.

Both partitions can't be mounted, right?!

Right. And I think this is the reason for no booting and stuck at honor logo.
What can I do now?
Are there any chances to get my phone back to life?

The only thing I know is, that we should bring both partitons to be mounted so the phone can boot again, I don't know for now how to mount them

Hold down vol down and power and hold it until you see fastboot/bootloader.
Then flash this:

To boot to twrp you have to disconnect from pc and hold vol up and power until you see the twrp logo. try few times.

Try this command in TWRP terminal:
mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata

Honor 6x - Bootloader Unlocked, now won't boot into ROM or fastboot

Edit & Update: I tried all method's, unable to boot into bootloader, or access the recovery, eRecovery & the dload (to force update) I took it to the service centre and got the firmware flashed from them. If this happens to you, take it to a service centre.

Don't worry, you still have a chance and it is using the dload method. For doing that, the only thing that you need is your firmware package, then there's a keys combination (vol up+vol down+power) that if pressed on a phone that is off, gives the input to flash what is in the dload folder. Begin to recover your firmware package, then I'll be here for any help.

that would be difficult, I cant get into the erecovery or the recovery mode. i am worried the device is bricked. also can the fastboot mode be corrupted?

Surely something went really bad, looks like some partition is messed up if neither fastboot mode is accessible... But for doing the dload method you won't need fastboot not recoveries, you just have to press the 3 keys on phone while is off to let the flashing process begin. But for doing this you'd need to obtain the UPDATE.APP extracted from your actual firmware package, and place it on your phone's memory or external SD card in a folder called "dload". Connecting the phone to the PC gives some results, of any kind?

yes something did go reallly bad, i stil dont know what that was. But for the 3 keys method to work, shouldnt the force update thing be accessible? atleast it will show some option, to force update, ayt I will try that method. Connecting the phone to the PC while in blackscreen yields no results. ADB or FASTBOOT cant detect it either.
my current firmware is BLN-L21C185B371
using firmware finder on PC, I have found 3 files to download which are;
1: update.zip
2. update_data_public.zip
3. update_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip
Which of these should I download?

theres been an update to the situation:
the phone died ( Battery depleted ) and so after I plugged it in, it rebooted to the ROM, and now it is working, but I am still unsure whether the next time i try rebooting whether it will work or not

Hello, I had the same problem, so it cannot be just something went wrong case. I have a BLN-L24 model, EMUI updated to 5.0 amd Android 7.0 online before unlocking the bootrom. I was able to exit the boot screen pressing the 3 buttons as suggested and I got the error of missing files, but after the reboot it goes back to the ROM. I tried again to copy berlin.img file for TWRP but same problem. So either I give up on TWRP or keep trying doing more research. To be on the safe side (in case it works) could anybody provide me with the original img file for this phone?

I am unable to exit the warning sign. if I power it off, it auto boots into the warningit boots into the ROM when the power is depleted, but if I try to restart or anything else, it shows the warning screen only until power is drained.

I am confused, I thought you were able to boot to the ROM after your battery died. The warning sign will be always there, the problem is only when you force the recovery mode, the TWRP image doesn't load.

it boots into the ROM only after the battery has drained off all the power. then after that when I charge and try to boot into recovery or fastboot it shows this: https://i.imgur.com/FpcxllE.jpg

[Bricked] BLN-L24 Can't boot nothing

I was on Elite ROM v7 and I wanted to go back to stock with the official Honor 6X Rollback Package but failed. Now the phone stuck at boot screen. I can't boot into fastboot, no twrp, no stock recovery. 3 button dload method wont work any more. If I hold the power button long enough, the phone will reboot with two vibrations and go right back to "this device is booting" screen. I waited till the battery is depleted and tried every possible combination again, including volume down+plug in usb cable connecting to a pc, still boots into the same screen.
Here's what I have done that caused the brick.
1) while in Elite Rom v7, I power off the phone.
2) dload official intermediate package.
3) dload official 6.0. (it succeeded followed by restart and user reset.
4) the phone then stuck at the blue Honor screen.
5) I force the phone to reboot by holding the power button, the phone entered stock eRecovery. I did a factory reset. The phone still stuck upon reboot.
6) I reboot the phone to fastboot mode and unlock the bootload, after this step, the phone stuck at "this device is booting" screen and wont boot into anything else.
When looking back, I guess between 1 and 2, I should have booted into twrp and format data, which is ecryted.Since I missed this step, it caused the system hung at step 4.

I have a similar problem i thinck it has to do with the warning message i waited until battery was empty and then i got a little different screen wich allows you to enter recovery or boot the device if you get this screen booting will work.
In my case i get the broken screen only if i reboot if i shutdown i get the wirking screen. But my problem is a bir more tricky because the recovery dosent work properly it gives my the option o download stock rom and recovery but it allways failes wehn fetching package info...
The other option i get in the recovery is to shutdown or reboot nothing else
And i can't use fastboot because of the reboot problem...
Using the hardware keys dosent work too...

Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985

Got the solution
After the battery was empty it booted into a little different screen wich i was able to boot from, then i downloaded the firmware and put it into dload folder on external sd. Next i force updated by holding [volume up] [Volume down] and [Power button]. Now i have a working recovery boot and Rom. Everything is stock and the bootloader is locked again.
I discovered this this morbign and didnt had time to answer earlyer sorry for that...
Someone asked because of the bootloader the only thing i got was this broken screen didnt react to my input, cable plugged in plugged out. Maby the warning screen comes before everything or there is not enough time for the timout or whatever... The important thing is that you can fix it that way!:laugh::victory:
