As the title says, RUU attempts booting my phone but it never comes back on. Even selecting restart boot loader in fastboot or a command it doesn't power itself back on. I have read through other forums and nothing has worked for me yet.
EDIT: I should probably clarify fastboot usb WORKS. Ruu must see my phone considering it detects the ROM version and turns the phone off in attempt to reboot. Anything that I do that requires a reboot doesn't work. I have tried unlocking the bootloader again, everything is fine until it comes to rebooting then I must turn the phone on myself and nothing changes...... IT DOESN'T REBOOT ITSELF therefore seemingly nothing wants to work. And the HTC boot screen is gone??

Yes I did through fast boot with the oem lock command. I've tried installing RUU with a Windows 7 laptop (has HTC sync software) and Windows 8 desktop (basic drivers). Both failed, tried using Windows XP/Vista in compatibility modes and running as an admin with the same results.
Error 171 is a connection error, meaning the RUU can't connect to/find your phone.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, rebooting your pc, and installing it again. If you've got the Android SDK installed, be sure it's also fully updated.

No luck. And I believe it does see the phone in the beginning of the installation. It makes it reboot to the boot loader and that's where it loses the connection. The phone just isn't booting itself back up. I appreciate the reply, if you have anymore ideas please let me know.
Could be something got corrupted. Try redownloading the ruu. Does adb see the phone?

Re-downloaded RUU and still no go. And adb doesn't see my phone, will it on the fastboot menu? I'm not to familiar with it.
Does anybody else have some more ideas?

No. If adb doesn't see it, fastboot won't either. Does the command "adb devices" (no quotes) show the device as connected?
It sounds like the connection might be working for a few things (like rebooting the phone, as you mentioned). But I still think a connection issue is the main problem.

Fastboot does see it but adb does not. And what I mean by rebooting the phone in my last post is RUU attempts rebooting it from the boot loader which does turn the phone off but it stays turned off. I've used other commands to reboot the phone from the fastboot screen and those too turn off the phone then again it doesn't come back on like a reboot should do.
I have about completely gave up and going back to using a regular feature phone. I have watched a video about a jtag repair service and was wondering about that or just selling the phone as bricked on ebay.

don't sell it as bricked since it is obviously not bricked. you could get more money just saying you dont wtf your doing and gave up on it. but ill buy it as a bricked phone =) ill give you 50 bucks.

Well if it's not bricked then I sure wish somebody would lead me to the right direction. I have tried 5 different PCs (which all show as connected through fastboot) and they all came with the same error. I've tried everything I could possibly think of and I haven't seen anyone else with quite the same problem I'm having.
I still have not completely gave up and have already decided against selling it as "bricked". The bootloader still comes up so there is at least some hope.
i just had the same problem. the solution was simple - i switch usb-port from front one to the backside one which is directly on motherboard.

when you say it shows connected through fastboot what do you mean?
how are you getting the device into fastboot - through recovery??
oh, and what was on your device before you tried loading the RUU?

Yes this + if you're on a usb3 port try usb2. Also make sure you're using the cable that came with the phone as I understand other cables may cause issues like this. Also, avoid using a hub or usb extension.
Solution to error 171
I had the same problem and after many attempts I finally got it to work!
-Uninstall anything HTC related from your computer such as HTC Sync Manager and Drivers. Also delete any HTC folders from your program files.
-Make sure you leave the sdk and adb stuff that you downloaded.
-Connect your device via USB to your computer and let it recognize it. It will automatically install default drivers.
-A pop-up asking to install HTC Sync will appear, just ignore it.
-Make sure you set Fast Boot OFF on your phone, and Debugging ON.
-Leave your phone ON and run the RUU set up.
-Then follow the steps on the wizard and everything should work just fine!

I have a similar problem with my HTC One. I am stuck in the bootloader and any action I take leads straight into a boot loop. If I try to reboot, reboot-bootloader, go into recovery (twrp), or factory reset it goes into a boot loop. Also I can't lock the bootloader and flashing my recovery doesn't help, even though it says its a success. I've tried three computers and deleted and reinstalled drivers but still the computers only find my phone in fastboot usb and can't find it using adb.
This solution above won't help me since I can't get my phone on for the life of me. I tried running RUU and All-in-One Toolkit but no luck. RUU fails finding the bootloader since my phone gets stuck in its boot loop. I am fresh out of ideas so any other ways to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I found my phone is this condition when I pulled it out of my pocket. I never installed custom ROMs on it. It is unlocked and rooted though running 4.2.2 (3.05.651.6) hoot 1.55. The only thing I can think of is that an OTA update got pushed to my phone and bricked it. That or for some strange reason something went wrong with phone from the rooting process after two weeks of it working perfectly.

hi all..
facing same problem with HTC Desire 816 n 4g... have anyone got any solution??
plz pass it..
thank you
OK,
I was trying to flash a new ROM and had some issues where it would continously reboot so, after some reading it seemed like I needed a new version of TWRP, so I updated it. That didn't help.
I decided to reflash the stock rom on the device but after doing that, it wouldn't boot past the ASUS boot screen. So I tried again (via fastboot), same result. So I tried again and this time fastboot crashed in the middle of the load and now the tablet won't boot or anything.
It seems like the tablet still has power because windows makes a funky sound when you plug it in.
I saw this post but pressing the tiny button with a paperclip doesn't do anything.
Edit:
Windows can tell I plugged something in but says there is an error and doesn't recognize it anymore. Therefore, I don't have adb or fastboot access.
Edit: I installed the naked drivers and got it to recognize the device as an apx. I then pointed it to the normal driver and is recognizes it as an adb device but I can't connect via adb.
Edit: Nevermind, it came unplugged and when I plugged it in again windows didn't recognize it.
Where in the crap do I go from here?

Nothing, just the black screen.
I only know something is going on when I connect it to a pc I can here it connect/disconnect when I hold the power button or press the reset button. Also checked the hdmi output on another screen to make sure that wasn't the problem....it wasn't.

That was the conclusion I was coming to.
Now, for a nerdier question. If I had physical access to the processor, could I program it directly using it's programming ports?

Hi all, bit of a strange problem here.
I've recently updated TWRP from the official app and installed the latest recovery for my phone.. Problem is my TWRP screen is now green, and I cant touch any on screen buttons when in recovery. Because the recovery flag was set last time I rebooted the phone it keeps going into recovery and just freezing
To add insult to injury my USB port seems to be faulty (has been for a while) so I can't even connect with ODIN to reflash the recovery.. So I seem to be stuck in a predicament here. Windows advises the machine has malfunctioned and will not recognise the device. I wish this was a driver issue but after testing with a number of cables / machines I can safely say it's a hardware issue.
Is there anyway to reset the recovery flag so I can at least get back on my phone? Or any other options?
The Windows errors occur even when the phone is in Download Mode?

Yep. Got a new USB port coming in the post which should hopefully fix that.
I think it's looping into recovery because the recovery flag was set when I rebooted the phone (I selected reboot into recovery from my rom) Wondering if this flag will be reset if the battery is drained to 0%?
Because really, the phone itself should be functional, just getting past this recovery loop is the real problem
Interesting...
So I've replaced the USB port on the phone and STILL get the same error. Tried another laptop, same error. Tried removing samsung drivers from the windows driver store and reinstalling using smart switch... same error!
Pulling my hair out here guys!

And guess what, you guys can't use fast charging ability..

Take a look at my post. This is a growing problem I think.
I originally rooted my device before I updated to 9.0, but I didn't really care about rooting that much so I just let OxygenOS uninstall the recovery with the update. I couldn't play Pokemon Go so I decided to root again, but that was before I found out that TWRP doesn't work with Oneplus 6 OS 9.0. Somebody in some random thread posted about flashing the TWRP image through fastboot, which I stupidly did. Now, I'm permanently stuck on the temporary TWRP image and I get the QUALCOMM CrashDump error every time I boot up my phone. I also can't get into recovery, fastboot, etc. On top of that, I tried the MsmDownloadTool, but for some reason the trick where you hold volume up before plugging in your phone to access Qualcomm Download Mode is not recognized by my computer and it just installs the default (?) drivers every time (Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM4)).
Any idea how I can get out of this? Can I unflash TWRP? I would prefer not losing my data but I've kinda accepted at this point that I probably will. Thanks.
Are you holding volume up and power together? I think msmtool is your best bet to get things working again

Wow, that actually helped. Every source I've found just says to hold up and plug it in while it's off. I'll post again if I've figured it out. Thanks for the help.
@kylm.software It still doesn't work. I can get into fastboot, so I I tried to flash a flashboot rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
It worked and I don't get the error, but I just get a black screen with a blue LED when I boot into android. I can't use the MSM tool either as I still can't get the drivers but holding the up key while plugging it in. Can somebody please help me? I need my phone back ASAP
The guys on the discord helped me out with this one. I redid the Msm tool and had to manually update drivers. Thanks so much for the help everybody

Next time use bluespark twrp not official.
I recently purchased an Oneplus 7 pro from Ebay and the phone was working fine. It's locked to T-Mobile and it prompted me to take an update, I believe the update was for November 2019 and was almost 2 gb in size. I rebooted the phone when it said to reboot to install the new features, and the phone never came back on after that. I tried charging it for hours, tried holding the power button + volume up/down buttons to get it to reboot, and none of this has done anything for the phone. There's no sign of life, the phone was working great prior to the update.
Is there any suggestions for fixing this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm assuming you are trying to revive the phone using MSM tool. If so, the only successful way to do this is to connect the phone to a USB 2.0 port using the official cable. This will make the phone appear on the tool and then you can proceed.

I was able to get it to flash successfully. I used the files from the tmobile to international conversion since it required a hacked MSM tool. I'm a complete Noob at phone flashing and really spent a LOT of time reading tonight to figure it out. Phone flashed successfully but said the battery was now too low to turn on. At least it says something!
I'm charging it up now and hopefully it works after this!

I use a USB 3.0 and USB c port on my computer and no issues
OK so I manage to get the phone flashed to the international version using the MSM tool. I then downloaded the DP 3 developer file like suggested. I put it in the root for my phone, went to system settings, system update, and got to install it locally. It installed 100% and then asked me to reboot for the changes to take effect.
I reboot the phone and then nothing, it's black and unresponsive the way it was when this whole thing started.
I'm sure I can just reflash the international file with MSM to get it working, but is there any reason why updating my phone in this manner always fails and a way for me to fix it?

MSM phone, unlock bootloader and flash twrp. Use twrp to flash system update and see if it works
