Let charge overnight, 8 hours or so; wall charger, not connected to computer. Then try holding power, and also try holding power + vol up. Try it with the wall charger connected, and without (random things like that have worked for some folks).

If still no luck, and no charging LED even, than its probably bricked. And bricked meaning you won't be able to fix it short of having JTAG RIFF box; or possibly even replacing the motherboard.

Doesn't sound like anything you did to brick it; probably just a random hardware failure like NAND failure or similar.

Where i check which edition htc m8 i am using? And can i convert any other edition to gpe?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can do fastboot getvar all, which will tell you CID and MID (and a number of other things).

If you post the getvar output here (you really don't need to, unless you want) be sure to delete IMEI and serial numbers, as these are personal data.

This also assumes the phone is stock, or at least has not had the CID and/or MID modified by a previous owner.

Mostly. You can use the GPE RUU on Sprint, Verizon (or related versions that support CDMA) as well as dual SIM, M8 eye. Possibly (probably) the Taiwan M8x is excluded. But I think that's it.

Skydragon ROM Issues

Hello,

having issues with Skydragon rom. I downloaded 'Skydragon M8 v10.0 Sense 7' and installed on my Australian htc phone. However, when I rebooted the phone, it was stuck on a white htc screen. Was there something I did wrong?

In your last post - you mentioned your device now on Android 4.4.3 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63827472&postcount=2574

1. To install SkyDragon ROM, your firmware should be 4.19.841.5 or at least on 4.19.841.9 (Android 5.0.x)

2. Don't install v10.0 but install v10.2

Developer Edition OTA problem

I "upgraded" my phone by removing the carrier ROM from my device and flashing the developer edition based on instructions that I found here. Now I'm having issues getting the latest OTA on my phone.

Setup to now:

1. Updated device id, s-off, flashed devEd Sense

2. Used OTA to update to later version of Sense

3. Rooted phone with custom recovery and modified the system to allow my apps to read/write from any location (I love ES File Explorer :victory:)

4. Installed

a stock firmware

and was able to OTA to my current version of sense.

5. Attempted to put custom firmware back on for regaining root, failed.

6. Restored

a stock firmware

and ignored root rights as I retained the ability to move files in ES File Explorer. (Note: SuperSU is still installed as a system app and cannot uninstall without restoring root - irony)

Key issue:

I now try to OTA to 4.4.4 (and "need" to be ready for 5.0) and I get a Red triangle during OTA installation. My system is not broken at this point, after 1.5 minutes or so it reboots into my current version where it soon informs me that an update is available for me to install (frustrating!)

What do I need to do to make the OTA work? I'm afraid that it is going to be nebulous to a degree and I may need to start over with a fresh ROM... but I'd like that to be a last resort.

Current Software Information:

Android Version

4.4.3​

Software Number

2.22.1540.4​

HTC SDK API level

6.25​

Kernel Version

3.4.0-ge224610, and2ABM103 #1, SMP PREEMPT​

Call problem

Hi to all!

I have recently bought my HTC One, and it was great until I found out that I couldn't receive calls by swiping the screen because there are no options anymore. Whenever I try to make or receive a call, something like the picture pops up without the usual option to receive or reject the call. Neither pressing nor swiping the screen works during a call too. Now I can only receive calls by putting the phone to my ear and end it by pressing the power button. It could be something that I pressed but I really can't figure out how to fix it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have two questions:

1/ Can I flash a RUU while s-on, and where to find the right one for my phone?

2/ this is the reason of the first question, because I need to get it to software status: official. I'm on stock, but i unlocked my bootloader [for no reason, I'm a dumbass, I know...] and I'll probably need to use my warranty... The thing is, I got infected with that USB port problem, I don't know how and why but it just started happening a few days ago, and by google it's a common problem for the m8, it's triggering CarMode and Daydream features constatntly, and turns the speakerphone on when I answer calls [also often plays music on speakers while headphones plugged in]... rotates all around, no matter the rotation on/off mode... It's such a strange bug, I would place my bet that it's a software bug, but the internet says it's dust or a faulty port and that no factory reset helps.. :(

Pls tell me that I can fix this somehow on my own or that I don't need to s-off to erase the traces of bootloader unlocking, pleaseee :)

You thought wrong, you can't make this stuff up as you go along.

The OTA isn't going to affect the bootloader unlocked status. It will still be unlocked.

Relocking it via fastboot also isn't going to help, nor is returning it to "official software" status.

The RELOCKED bootloader flag is a obvious sign that the phone was bootloader unlocked. The only way to make it say LOCKED again if with s-off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fino1:
yeah so when you put a question mark on the end of a sentence i would say that's a question not a statement, I came here to ask questions exactly because I DO NOT KNOW this stuff as well as you guys do, and do not want to mess up my phone over a stupid mistake, which is i guess pretty easy when doing fastboot commands... so no need to be rude and say that I just go around making stuff up as I go along... I just want to know what are all of my options right now and choose the right way. also I figured out the whole locked/relocked/unlocked situation along the way, and that I can't actually do anything about it untill I s-off....

the funny thing is, I actually did the whole bootloader unlock thing just to get s-off and convert to GPE... untill I found out i do not have a way to pay $25 [and if I did i would think twice abpout paying that much, just to plaay a bit with my phone] so I guess now I'm just stuck with an unlocked bootloader and s-on. awesome. not.

Hey guys,

I've been using info from xda for a few weeks now, came with 0 knowledge of non-oem android and have learned a lot; but I finally needed to sign up and post because i'm at wits end trying to get my phone to boot. Here goes...

I have an s-off asia WWE (707) m8, and get stuck on the boot screen every time i turn on the phone or restart. Fastboot and recovery work as expected. The only way to get it to boot is by a)once after installing custom rom b)nandroid restore [doesn't always work] or c)after an OTA [doesn't always work]

I have tried:

-clean wipe install of ARHD

-with superCID and 401 firmware pre-flashed​

-with 2.*,3.* and 4.* 707 firmwares incrementally pre-flashed on factory HTC__44 CID​

-with non-stock kernels​

-Restoring a stock nandroid, flashing stock recovery and taking OTA updates all the way back up to 4.19.707.4

-Regularly wiping cache,dalvik,system,data between installs/nandroids

-where possible also tried the above without root access

When the phone does boot, it runs great- but has typically rebooted itself after a few days (despite diligent charging), and gotten stuck at bootscreen again. I've also noticed intermittent issues with the screen not rotating properly and a delay with screen wake, although these may be due to flashing different firmware.

This is super annoying, and i'm beginning to think that it may be hardware related :(

Any help would be massively appreciated, and I feel like I already owe you all a debt of gratitude for the knowledge you've already shared with me.

Thanks
