Went to a repair shop. They said that HTC 10 is very fragile and they need assurity that while replacing battery, if they happen to break the lcd of the device they will not be responsible. So, is there really no fix? I really doubt that.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Supreme_One:
I don't know what exactly happened but I was doing the battery reset trick by holding volume up/down and power button for almost 1.5 min after I saw my HTC flashing the grey logo (the logo you say when you enter the bootloader) and after that I couldn't power on my phone anymore. It's doing literally nothing not even charging. Can I solve this problem or is it RIP for me?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
The answer is obvious, keep trying all different button combos to see if it give any sign of life. Plugged in and without charger.

Nothing else to suggest.

HTC 10 boot loader: infinite loop!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] venom55521:
HTC 10 bootloop fix,where to start?

i have an issue with my phone i desperately need it fixed and/or backed up as well, its an HTC 10 ,and cant get it to boot up,i have researched the problem, it cant get into recovery nor download mode only bootloader, wont charge properly,when cable connects,it begins to boot loop, when i turn it on ,it bootloops until battery dies, have changed battery and charger port. i haven't yet to install software or able to back up phone using a program like dr.fone or other recovery programs that can install a flash. really need this phone back working to stop boot loop, it is not rooted so i havent tried other ways to install anything to prevent the bootloop. i have done the button functions that involved holding down volume and power button. can only go into bootloader, other functions only attempt but do not follow through thus back to bootloop. again I have yet to try other methods that involve SD cards, using Ruu files, recovery programs like dr.fone. phone is still stock not rooted.

really need to know what Can i try or able to do, open to any suggestions for fixing and recovering, if any my questions have been answered please leave a link to a thread so i may look it ,many forums just need most up to date info before i try it. also upon reading forums , i need to know where to start before using ruu, twrp ,etc.

In case it wasn't obvious from my post size this is a cry for help and not personal suggestions. ;)

It's been a busy week & I haven't had time to take the plunge on this flash yet, been surviving with the work cell. Could really use some guidance (or even just reassurance) if I'm on the right track. Last thing I want to do is lose TWRP in a flash or make things worse/lock myself out of recovery options.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
The method you described in your previous post is a correct way to flash the RUU.zip. You WILL lose TWRP, as the RUU contains the stock recovery. Don't worry about that though, it's super simple to flash it back after the RUU.

Also, after you flash the RUU, check in settings for updates. You should be able to update to 3.18.605.13 via OTAs.

After you are updated to that, download the latest TWRP for the HTC 10, put it into your adb/fastboot folder, boot to download mode, open cmd and:

fastboot flash recovery **drag and drop the TWRP.img here**
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Foxsnipe:
Thanks! I was able to flash the image and then run the updates and the phone is now on v8 with TWRP back in. It was booting up fine so I then went back into TWRP to restore the /data backup I made (which was after the phone first stopped loading). The first boot after that looked good and it said Android was updating apps. Unfortunately the phone is now stuck in a reboot loop. It loads up (HTC -> Verizon splash screens; "Android is starting") and starts to show the lock-screen/notification bar but then it dies and restarts the boot.

I did do a TWRP backup after the flash/OTA updates so I can wipe /data and put that back if needed to restore a full boot.

I guess some application/data restored from my backup is giving it grief. Is there a way to go into the TWRP backup and pull out certain applications/data and see if it helps, or use TWRP's file manager and manually drill into the post-restore folder structure (/data/app I guess?) and delete files to see if it helps? Might be painful of course, shame TWRP can't take action on folders

[Edit] I started the phone in Safe Mode hoping that might prevent the restart but no luck, still triggered once the lock screen started loading. Forgot to mention I did hard a 3rd party lock screen installed before the initial issue, Microsoft's Next lock screen (since discontinued and folded into their Microsoft Launcher app I think).

I have a rooted HTC10 , sunshine with twrp and stock rom. It did this out of nowhere after the phone died from low battery, just started rebooting and never worked again. I would be perfectly happy to toss it in the can by now, but I have photos that were on the phone I'd like to recover. Is there any way to get this thing to work long enough to get my data?

I can't boot into download or recovery. I can get to bootloader, but any choice starts bootloop again, even if I choose shutdown, it just starts bootlooping.

Most of the fixed I've seen are focused on getting the phone working, but maybe reset, wiped. I need to recover data.

Any help would be hugely appreciated
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
Hello, for I am back with my randomly restarting htc 10 verizon. So, during the past months I've noticed patterns on how it reboots. It reboots whenever I watch a video. I believe it's not a battery problem as when it's going to restart, the phone just hangs.. does noting even if you press power button or volume buttons. It literally freezes up for 10 seconds or something and then restarts. Tried flashing ruu, nothing happened, factory data reset, nothing happened and my last hope was htc sync manager repair tool and to my surprise, sync manager says that there is no software available for my device. I'm pretty sure this phone will never get fixed but ya know just putting it out there. Maybe someone will know what to do.

I have an HTC 10 with leedroid stuck in bootloop (S-ON). My father was using it when it ran out of battery and when he rebooted it was stuck in bootloop. I can't enter download mode or recovery (the grey htc logo will come up but it will fail to enter download mode and it will just turn off). I can only enter the white background bootloader mode (vol up + vol down + power). Is it recoverable?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] hemingway60:
Hi,

So I went to apkmirror and updated like 3-4 htc apps via the apks provided (nothing that I haven't done before). I believe the apps were HTC battery, extreme power saver mode and the phone and phone management apps. I restarted my phone and now it gets stuck on boot up...? Basically reaches the screen right after the spinning htc dots and green logo. It shows the message "Android is starting" and then goes black, vibrates, and shows that same message over and over. I can get into recovery, download mode etc just fine. I tried wiping cache but that didn't work.

That leaves me with factory resetting although I'd seriously want to avoid that as I haven't backed up things in a month and I can't afford losing certain texts and pictures that are on the internal memory. Any idea what I can do right now? It's completely stock and with S-ON and locked bootloader.

I was considering somehow copying the data on it in any way or maybe using adb to uninstall the probably offending apps but I couldn't find a way.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] td1010:
I (used to) have an T-Mobile HTC 10 with "the latest" stock firmware, meaning that I was still running Android Nougat. So my fingerprint reader started to stop working sporadically within the past month. This weekend I decided to try and address the issue and upgrade to a new version of Android while I was at it.

Bad idea.

I unlocked the phone via HTC's developer site and installed TWRP. It was all downhill from there.

I started off trying to flash fagyi's Pixel Experience 9 ROM (https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/9-0-0-pixel-experience-t3924372). I realize now that was a mistake because that requires a phone with Oreo firmware, which, my phone being a T-Mobile variant, did not.

Somehow the flash looked like it succeeded, so I rebooted the phone.

That led to an infinite bootloop.

I tried doing a full wipe and reflashing the Pixel Experience 9 ROM again. This time it properly reported that the ROM was incompatible, but that meant that I had no ROM to revert back to (oh, did I forget to mention I forgot to do a NANDroid backup?).

I then tried downloading multiple other ROMs to see if any would help. Two that actually did work were faygi's lineage 15.1 (https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-unofficial-builds-pme-t3808812) and crdroid's 7.1.2 (https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/rom-crdroid-v1-9-t3533291). However, both of these ROMs loaded without SIM support (both say there is no SIM), so that leads me to believe I've somehow wiped my radio information.

I began looking into restoring to stock ROM. But it looks like HTC's RUU links are all dead, so I tried to download what I believed to be the T-Mobile stock ROM (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24549084345926565) from here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297. I ran a restore of this from TWRP, which succeeded but led to another bootloop on reboot.

So now I am my wit's end...what can I do?

At a minimal state I need to get my phone back up and running on the T-Mobile network. Ideally this would be on Oreo or Pie, but at this point I'd just like to have a working phone!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] v587zzy:
Fate has decided I did exactly the same thing as you did except my phone was in the drawer for 3 years.

I had it in boot loop and now start trying the stock image. And I have successfully restored and able to boot into the system. pheew

You have to do a few things.

a. make sure twrp is available

b. fast adb available

1. vol down + power button boot into bootloader, you can release power button when htc logo show up, keep holding down button

2.

fastboot getvar all

3. look for the output for version-main: mine is: (bootloader) version-main: 2.46.617.2

4. go to stock backups and search the version number (mine is 2.46.617.2) in the thread search, hope someone has put up a twrp back up untouched system+boot (or with recovery)

5. do the restore trick, ( you dont have to restore recovery)

good luck

https://prnt.sc/p0qyu2

Short version:

Hi, I got myself, I think, bricked phone, where I cant get in twrp, nor download mode, the only thing that works is bootloader.

The story:

Yesterday I was browsing internet when device freezed, so I hard rebooted to BL where I wanned to go to TWRP and clear cache and remove Magisk, to see if its a module doing. After selecting recovery mode, device just rebooted and went to bootloop. I thought okay, something bad is going on, I will try to reflash twrp.

So, reboot to BL > select download mode > got two results - either I get black screen where `fastboot flash`/`htc_fastboot flash` just hangs forever (in task manager it seems to be doing something, because it eats whole CPU core, but theres no update on screen, as it should be) or device just reboots and nothing happens.

I tried, maybe 20-30 times to get in twrp or download mode, trying to access either of them.

Only once I got TWRP splash screen and then reboot and only once got into download mode, where I went ahead and flashed nougat fullwipe stock firmware 2.41 (tried to get to nougat and run ruu.exe from BL), it did finish properly, but when you downgrade, we need to run it twice and I could not get into DL mode again to do so.

Any tips ? Is my phone dead ? I have it two years, dont want to pay for another phone if possible :(

edit: trying to 'fastboot boot twrp_recovery.img' gives me this error, no idea what it means https://prnt.sc/p0rnoq

UPDATE: I was able to somehow successfully flash nougat firmware and nougat RUU in download mode from sdcard, but after booting up, after a while device froze and went back to bootloop, is this HW issue then?

Now I am unable to power it up, It had about 40% of battery, before. Plugging in charger does not wake it up and theres no heat. Probably dead

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] The Spirit of Morpheus:
Now I got struck, too - by the notorious HTC 10 boot loop error!

I still don't know how or why it started, but I left my HTC 10 alone for a few hours - when I returned to the phone, I immediately noticed it is constantly rebooting itself before completely successfully booting onto Android/Sense Homescreen (it only successfully reaches Lock Screen, where it resides 15-30 seconds, before suddenly restarting Android...). Now, some background info first:

- Operating system is stock Anroid Oreo 8.0 , OS version 3.16.401.2 - the Oreo update was installed via OTA update. It's properties:

***Software status: Modified***

***LOCKED***

***S-ON***

The first one ("Modified") surprised me, because I never rooted, unlocked or S-Off'ed the phone - despite it's "Modified" status, the phone ran fine many months... until a few days ago.

- approx. 305 Apps were/are installed and although they filled a lot of the phone internal storage (almost 19GB for the Apps alone and 6GB for Android operating system = 25GB alone for Android + Apps) and very significantly slowed down the system (very sluggish at certain times and situations - but not always/only occasionally or during App updates or heavy load), my phone ran fine in this condition for many months - it's not even a year old! (bought in the very last days of 2018)

- as mentioned, 25GB were reserved solely for Android + Apps, the remaining 3-4GB for files, downloads, themes, photos and videos. In it's last stable state (before this incident), only 3.5GB of free space was left - the have even been worse times with less than 3GB free space, but this error did not occur (though, the phone got even MORE slow than it already was, the less free space got). In general, I try to maintain ~ 5GB free space, but that constantly changes (probably due to caching) and the last time the phone was stable, it was ~ 3.5GB of free space.

- shortly after I bought the phone, occasionally the power button got stuck and the phone bootlooped in similar way like it now does - however, after freeing the power button, everthing went normal again.

- Battery drained pretty fast (depending on workload or App use/number of active Apps) but in Standby mode, the drainage was normal (very slow).

I NEED TO RESCUE THE DATA on the phone, before resetting it - that's why didn't try a reset/factory reset/hard reset to see, whether that solves the problem...

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
I'm having issues with the HTC 10.

I've gotten it a couple of days ago as a secondary device, and it's been giving me issues.

For a couple of days it's been freezing and hanging a lot, sometimes it freezes for a few seconds, sometimes a half a minute or longer, and sometimes it hangs until I force it to reset.

I've rooted it the moment I got it and after I've noticed the issues I tried to install the LeeDrOiD ROM, thinking that it might help with the freezing issues, but it was the same unfortunately.

However, today when I tried to reset with vol- and power (after it froze) it just got black and never turned on.

The battery was above 40% so it's not an issue with that.

I've connected it to a charger, and the charging light is not showing up.

It seems to be completely dead as it's not reacting to anything.

Is there anything to be done, can anyone please help me with this?

EDIT: So the interesting thing I've noticed right now is that even though that the charging light is not showing up, I've left the phone on the charger for a while and it seems it's gotten mildly warm.

I don't know if that helps with the situation or anything but I though this info might be of use

might be wrong with this one

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
I feel like writing this is pointless, especially since it's an old phone, but I have to do it in case there's someone who might pitch in and give a suggestion (besides throwing away the phone).

So an update: I had this phone sitting in a drawer for months, and even completely forgot about it. Today I found it and tried to turn it on.

As expected it wouldn't turn on (well of course it wouldn't, even if it was working, the battery was now dead).

But then out of curiosity I decided to connect it to a charger, and guess what... IT STARTED CHARGING AND CAME BACK TO LIFE.

After charging it for a while, I turned it on, and even though I first thought it got stuck in the booting animation, it eventually booted after a few minutes.

The phone was on, and there were noticeable stutters and freezes in the system, I even got the "system not responding: wait or close" notification a couple of times, but it was ultimately working.

I wasn't fiddling around with it too much, I just wanted to go back to the stock firmware and then continue testing it.

I put the RUU zip on the sd card and went to the download mode to install it.

I was only succesfull in getting into download mode on the second try, since on the first try the phone would go to the HTC logo and then just turn off by itself.

Then the flashing started, it was going well for a minute or so, but when it came to system.img_04, it just hung there at 0% for a while.

I don't know how long I waited, but it felt like a REALLY long time, definitely longer than half an hour.

So then I decided to force it to turn off, and try with a different version of RUU.

BOOM, it was back to the way it was before, completely dead.

The difference is that earlier PC recognized the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (for which I found out that it means a hard brick), and now it's QUSB_BULK.

My point, and also what made me write this post, is that I first thought the phone was completely broken - motherboard or EMMC was dead, and I even sent it to repair (not to HTC though), and they couldn't do anything and suggested it was a hardware issue.

However, draining the battery somehow reset it back to life. This now gives me hope that it's actually something that can be fixed (even though it still could be a hardware issue).

I also had an idea back in April, when I first had this issue, to open the phone and disconnect the battery.

I will try doing it again as soon as I get the proper tools, to emulate this scenario of jump-starting it, but in the meantime, I hope this was food for thought for you guys reading this.

If there is anyone out there who has any, and I mean ANY idea or thought, please let me know.
