OK, I unlocked Bootloader and tried to boot recovery again.

It showed HTC Logo and some Info but then it reboooted and got stuck in bootloop again... ;/

I unlocked the bootloader. Format cache failed again.

I have to admit I'm running out of ideas here, I can't find an ruu that would be compatible with the device and not sure it would help anyway.

Your problem doesn't appear to be writing the recovery but actually loading it. This could very well be a hardware issue. Specifically a damaged memory chips.

You can try the fastboot boot recovery again use erase cache instead of format cache. Did you try it with Stock and Custom recovery?. TWRP 2.6.3.3 maybe a good one to try.

So I tried everything you suggested. Tried to boot several recoveries (including stock and TWRP 2.6.3.3) but nothing worked. I guess it is a hardware issue as you said ;/

Anyway thanks for your time and help :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Sorry I couldn't be more help, but if it won't even boot stock recovery after flashing firmware something is very wrong. :(

Best hope is searching for an ruu that matches the current firmware version. I've not been able to find anything. I'll pm you if anything turns up though. ;)

No sooner did I finish writing this post I came across this try the firmware procedure again but with this updated firmware from this ota.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersus:
Device Bricked

Hey,

it seems like I just got my first hard-bricked device.

I rooted/jailbreaked some devices already and I used to think that I know enough about it to not get a bricked device, apparently I am wrong.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, but kept the stock ROM.

The weird thing is: I did this about 4? or 5? months ago and was running it without any problem.

However, today my HTC One (M7) broke.

I just disabled flight mode and was about to put my PIN code in, when the screen (or the whole device?) turned off.

It was not the usual shutdown, more like a crash.

Then the phone didn't start any more, no matter what I did. I already tried:

1. Holding the power button forever.

2. Holding the power, vol up, vol down buttons all at the same time for at least 90 seconds.

I just plugged the phone into my computer and the notification LED is flashing red. (Which is unusual, as the phone was ~90+% charged. Also, if it was just loading it would light permanently.)

I don't have warranty any more (see above) so sending it to HTC is pointless probably.

Can you help me?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Try holding the phone under a bright light and hold power + volume down for 90+ seconds.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersus:
Doesn't work -.-

I have googled some possible solutions and found this one as well, it just seemed very stupid to me^^

Anyways, thank you very much for trying to help me.

Edit: Is there any chance to get another Kernel/ROM on it and/or will it help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Stupid? Well its to do with the light sensor preventing the phone from turning on. Obviously I didn't know if this would work for you or not. You asked for help and this is a well known solution for a phone in this situation.

It doesn't always work first time maybe you just need to keep trying or maybe there's something else wrong with your phone and it's not going to work. You don't know unless you try ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If it's not powering on then no. You need at least access to the bootloader. And a custom recovery to flash a Rom and kernel.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersus:
That's not good :/

Is there any danger with sending rooted phones to HTC?

Can they charge me for it or keep it there?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If there's signs of life there's a good chance it can be revived. Unless of course it's a hardware issue. When you connect it to your pc does the pc detect it. Does anything show up in device manger.

From HTC point of view if the phone can't be powered how are they to know it is rooted unlocked? In the event they discovered it was tampered with they would simply send you a bill with the option to pay for repair or have it returned unrepaired at the cost of postage.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If your pc is detecting the device is connecting then you should try the unbrick project here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersus:
The device is not showing in the device manager.

One question though: In order to root the phone, I had to unlock the bootloader trough the HTC dev page.

Do they log which device was unlocked? If they do, I would not have any chance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
They do but the fact you applied for an unlock code doesn't mean you used it. Besides mine was unlocked through HTC dev and ok I returned it to complete stock with relocked bootloader and sent it for repair. 5 days later it was returned repaired. So if simply applying for an unlock code was grounds to refuse warranty they could have done with mine.

HTC have a history of repairing unlocked phones anyway, as long as it's got stock software their not that bothered. But to know the software is stock they need to boot the phone.

The long and short of it is you'd be taking a punt sending it in its current condition but at worst it will cost you return shipping.

It's worth trying the bright light thing a few times though, stupid as it may sound it really can work.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersus:
I have tried the bright light, it still doesn't work though. Now the LED is not even flashing, so I guess I will just send the phone to HTC and hope for the best.

Help Plese, near brick, got lost

Good afternoon, I have been following xda for a while now, from my first incredible to the thunderbolt and every samsung, I am fluent in adb and fastboot, somewhat....I build and repair computers, systems admin, spend my whole life in front of screens so I consider myself able enough to handle this. Yet my life is in chaos and somehow I have gotten lost during the root, unlock, and rom of the htc one... very embarrassing and frustrating, I would ask for your help humbly please

I have over the past 2 days flashed, screwed, fastboot, pushed, adb, Im not even sure where I am at now.....don't know where to go back to, I am not bricked yet as I can access recovery and bootloader but I'm near and dont wanna make the mistake....here is where i am at now

I rooted wintool kit, unlocked, not sure if i flashed a kernel to stock or not, i've tried so many things I cant even tell you now where I went wrong. It's embarrassing as i always have trouble figuring out simple things....I can access recovery, I can access fastboot and bootloader

If I try to boot I get logo then black screen then off....and reboot, vibration log, black screen etc.....

I am just lost and after 2 days and to much chaos in life I have just had to sit on a stump in the forest and await search and rescue, I'm sending smoke signals now, and this is it ;) Please if you have time and an answer assist me, I am starting to worry and get frustrated, not bricked yet but following the pattern of the past 2 days I am not far ;) Thank you in advance and for all the knowledge and dev you guys have brought to us, Ive never posted and after all these years I guess it's about time, cheers guys!

Ok don't panic this really doesn't sound to bad. You say adb is not working but fastboot is Let's start with a fastboot getvar all, so I know exactly what device I'm dealing with here.

Connect fastbootusb then in fastboot command line type

apologies for the slow reply, i sent this hours ago....apparently my captcha skills haven't leveled up to match my adb skills ..... lol, and those stats are falling after the blunder today ;) and 5 minutes ago but unverified accounts must wait 5 mins..... so I'm grab a drink, scour in the mirror as I pass one, look at my phone again, spin 8 times, and see my 5 min experiment .

If and twrp is 2.7.1.1, 30 % battery so im charge for now, be nice to see an update of twrp hosting power, thanks again for all the assistance, why normally I would troubleshoot this out and continue I really have wanted a htc one and want to make sure I get it right, if I may ask, as so many do but I'm looking for a more refined answer

What rom (ha) seems to be kicking the most cans? I've looked through cm 11, pac, venum, so many more knowing each has its own features and skills and down sets, so I use mine as a mini laptop, work on networks, systems, remote desktops, right now ;(, it is my main gaming machine, playing silly rpg and racing games, psp emulator, epsxe if I'm bored, showing off, controlling satellites, and communication, but not hooked up, I do not carry service on it, while curious if i could put verizon on it maybe pre-paid if i have too but thats almost last place need as I have a phone for that. I do carry contacts in it though,

I would like to carry newest android as its about time I have a newer stable version and have enjoyed the many changes, I know this is alot to answer, knowing any answer I receive I am thankful for so, i was gonna run PAC KITKAT and test it out but after this blunder and not knowing where I messed up and how I have gotten so confused I am afraid to maybe test it , could be time for a nap and a cracker

Thanks again so much!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Here you might want to try these steps first to see. Your fastboot & adb versions may not be up to date. So I would either redownload them or use the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool. The often recommend version of TWRP is 2.6.3.3 but the newer ROM and CM11 requires the newer 2.8.X.X.

Oftentimes ADB gets stuck and you have to kill it then restart. I assume that USB Debugging is enabled in Settings.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakuwann:
ok, done and have completed your steps .... Ya know I thought I enabled debugging but that was when i had a system running, as of this point I cannot give you a definate, I usually do being the first steps even as I look at phones but I like to assume I did

Due to my inability to leave well enough alone, I have been in this exact situation more than once.

I had the same screen showing and what I did was hold the power button for about 10 minutes and watch the home and back buttons blink until just before the point where I was going to loose it and launch the phone, all the sudden it booted up. I have absolutely no explanation for this nor do I think it makes a bit of sense but it has worked a total of 5 times for me and that's not a coincidence...

What was the result of that?

I have done so, and the animation was indeed different, but it still switched between the two animations, vertical and horizontal.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so flashing the stock recovery produces the same result. Am a little confused about weather the phone is actually booting to android or are you stuck with bootloader and recovery?

Have you tried updating firmware at all? I notice your on 4.xx401.x flashing up to the latest may help fix it.

It's possible it's the usb port on the phone. Have you tried cleaning it? When connected with fastboot usb, does waggleing the cable interfere with the connection at all?

So sorry for the whole day getting back to yal, ok so linux it is, i have a pc with ubunto and one with kali, but I went and downlaoded the usb and one recommended and have boot into linux...

what do I do next?

Nevermind, corrupted install, screen is all messed up, im boot into kali and see how that does then install adb drivers

so i have adb running and fastboot in windows although it says my driver is not installed propaerrly, whats wierd is I am S-on again.....i can still boot to recovery and it still rebooting if normal system boot.... at this point I dont know if ruu and completed wipe and stock install to try again or if I can go ahead and start trying to get a rom on here, either way I need s-off I would think, its rooted just actually not sure, Ive read so many posts in the past few days my head is spinning lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakuwann:
So I have booted into a live usb running the newest kali, cause its fun, have access to net and stable. The reason the drivers wont load is the damn phone keeps rebooting, so in the middle of the install it reboots, disconnects, error, and reboot.....which connects, hear the sound, installing. Ok so I device manager and try to catch it to update htc mtp driver, having only caught it once.

Ive always had an htc, the drivers are installed and have never failed me, i removed them, re installed, got new versions, no sync, installed, still the phone kept rebooting. which forced disconnect before finishing, and i did once reinstall through update drivers and had 4 choices for drivers all htc nut slight difference in version, was able to get 2 tried....no luck

I booted into hboot and recovery next, trying to connect the phone during the times trying to force a install or appearing in my device manager so I could wrestle with it.....but it was smarter and never appeared, even switching back and forth between fast boot and boot-loader.....

so Linux.... dust off Kali and finally get it going on a machine, and stable live disk.......what by chance may i do, please. Normally I would knock this out the way systematically figuring it out for future reference adding yet a new skill to my toolbox.....but I'm tired and a wreck, divorce, all that, kids, right now I swear i can loose my pockets sometimes and just dont have it in me to sit here concentrating. That's why I came to you guys, to ask for help and assistance, and you guys have been great, walking me through something I feel ashamed I'm not doing myself yet thankful you answer.

Well I'm not familiar with Kali but it should still work. Have you installed adb/fastboot. If not see this post, use the webupd8 method to install adb/fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54272479

I've only used this on ubuntu and the repository was created for ubuntu so if you have a machine running ubuntu it would be better. But try with Kali if you like. The webupd8 repository will install and configure adb/fastboot with 3 simple terminal commands. Once it's done you should be able to use ad/fastboot just like in Windows except fastboot commands must start with the "sudo" prefix. So

fastboot devices

Becomes

sudo fastboot devices

The phone is booting up correctly, but the charger doesn't work anymore when it's on.

I don't think I have tried updating the firmware, I have trouble getting ADB to work on both windows and mac, even though fastboot works fine. Is there a way to update the firmware with only fastboot commands? My phone is also S-ON, maybe that needs to be S-OFF for a firmware update? Is it possible to make it S-OFF without using ADB?

I have tried cleaning the port with a pinch of WD40 and compressed air, but no effect. Wiggling the cable doesn't have a noticable effect either.
