Bricked HTC 10 by locking bootloader

So I stupidly locked my bootloader through fastboot oem lock, confirmed the factory reset and it broke my recovery all together. I'm s-on as well to make things even more difficult

Can get to bootloader and download, but can't seem to anything outside of some fastboot commands

Here's the getvar for reference:

(bootloader) kernel: lk

(bootloader) product: htc_pmeuhl

(bootloader) version: 1.0

(bootloader) max-download-size: 1578400000

(bootloader) serialno:############

(bootloader) slot-count: 0

(bootloader) current-slot:

(bootloader) imei:

(bootloader) version-main: 3.18.841.1

(bootloader) boot-mode: download

(bootloader) version-baseband: 2.0.U010241a@71204

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000

(bootloader) mid: 2PS620000

(bootloader) cid: TELST001

I've been frantically searching for the specific RUU to try and revive my phone, but it doesn't look like it exist anywhere on the internet.

It seems there used to be a HTC link to it at fotadl-az.htc(dot)com : OTA_PERFUME_UHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_Telstra_WWE_3.18.841.1_R-2.48.841.31_release_519847tp9bagwfkglchg5u.zip

but it's dead now.

I hope that I've been approaching the solution in the right way, tried a different RUU:

2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.20.710.2_Radio_2.0.U010241a@71204_84.09_F_release_523976_combined_signed_2_4

which didn't work due to ru_header_error

Any idea if this is possible to fix? Quotes on repair cost? Will HTC be willing to fix it for me even though I voided the warranty?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Check out the website firmware gem flash. It holds many RUU files and firmwares, may cost you a couple of euros/dollars but if it has the file it's cheaper as a repair shop.....
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheHeadlessMonk:
Thank you so much!

Found the exact RUU I was looking for of there. Though for the record and future reference, I had to also change the way I was trying to flash the RUU, rather than:

fastboot oem rebootRUU​

into:

fastboot flash zip <filename>.zip​

I had to put it on the sdcard with the filename "2PS6IMG.zip" to get it treat it as an update zip. On booting into download mode, it asks to apply the zip that was added and off it went. Nice and simple.

Now if only I could get back my half a day spent researching this problem :(
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Great it's sorted, at least you have a file now to get back to stock if needed again.

Hi,

I have a HTC 10 come into my possession. Complete brick.

Pressing Power or Power + Vol Down or connecting to a charger or PC results in the htc logo appearing for less than a second before turning off.

If connected to a power source, the htc logo will constantly flash on for a split second.

ADB will not see the device (As the device isn't actually powering on properly)

From what I've been told the device parameters are:

S-ON

Unlocked boot loader

TWRP installed

The error occured during a botched firmware upgrade (using fast boot to lock the bootloader, and confirming the data reset)

Therefore I believe that this phone is a complete blank.

I am not too versed with Android development, from searching I believe a RUU install maybe possible.

However I assume download mode is required.

Is there any suggestions as right now, I believe this phone is dead in the water

Many Thanks

My girlfriend's HTC 10 has been acting up the past few months and now it seems like it's completely dead...

Yesterday evening it shut down all of a sudden & has been stuck in a bootloop since.

Her phone was never rooted or S-OFFed so all attempts to reflash firmware fail...

I can get into the bootloader with "fastboot getvar all" showing all empty values and no possibility to boot into download or recovery mode.

Everytime I try to boot to download or recovery mode, it shows the grey HTC logo for 5-10 seconds after which it automatically reboots.

Things I've tried & haven't worked:

1. From the bootloader, I can flash the hosd.img from the latest RUU for her phone (3.16.401.2) which doesn't do anything

2. Put the 2PS6IMG.zip on an empty FAT32-formatted SD-card and tried entering Download mode/Recovery mode to see if it would pick it up

I'm at a loss here since the phone is S-ON and I have no possibility to reflash the complete firmware or even a custom recovery...

Currently I just have it turned on at the bootloader & am going to let it run down the battery to see if I can get it to reset "something" from a completely drained battery when I hook it up to the charger.

Any other possible ideas or solutions are much appreciated!

Hey everyone, hope anyone is still reading this.

After screen replacement, the phone has been in a bootloop. Installed RUU with SD card and it doesn't make any difference. It's locked, never been rooted. Any chances for it or trash bin?

Brick: How screwed is this phone?

My phone appears to be bricked. Whether it's a full hard-brick or a recoverable soft-brick, I'm not sure. Before it became this way, it was S-Off with CID. I keep the phone as a backup, and I pulled it out to update it to Oreo. I first flashed the Oreo firmware via the SD card method. It flashed fine. Then, I fully wiped the phone and flashed the Viper Oreo ROM. It flashed fine, and I went through and got it all setup without issues. I then decided to try to the LeeDroid Oreo ROM. I fully wiped the phone and flashed LeeDroid. It flashed fine too, and I got it all setup. I decided to to back to the Viper Oreo ROM, so I fully wiped the phone again and flashed the ROM. Again, it all went fine. As I was going though the setup of the phone, I got to where I was choosing to restore the Google backup of apps and such, when the phone froze. I figured I'd just let the phone settle down for a few and I'd get back to it. I came back to the phone about 10 minutes later, and it was still frozen, and the screen was still on. It wouldn't turn off via the power button, and the screen was unresponsive. So, I decided to reboot the phone via the power button hold-down method. The capacitive lights flashed 10 or 14 times like they normally do, and the phone turned off. From there, I couldn't get the phone to come back on via the power button alone. Pressing just the power button seems to turn the phone on internally, but the screen doesn't come on, and the charging LED doesn't come on when it's plugged in in that state. I had to leave the phone for several hours until the battery would run down. Then it would charge normally with the orange charging LED, the battery icon on the screen, and the increasing 1%, 2%, etc. to 100%. If I attempt to power on the phone from there, the cycle repeats. I CAN, however, get the phone to power on into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Power. That's where I see the screens in the attached pictures. If try to reboot to either bootloader or recovery, the phone tries to do so, but stays in some sort of powered-on mode with the screen off. It stays this way till the battery dies again.

I've tried putting the RUU zip on the SD card, but it doesn't ever scan the card to look for it. My computer properly detects the phone in download mode, but when I try to run the RUU .exe, it starts fine, then when the message on the computer says it's rebooting to the bootloader, it goes back into that limbo mode with the screen off and buttons unresponsive. It seems pretty clear that the bootloader is corrupted, but I'd appreciate any insight as to what can be done short of sending it in to a JTAG service to attempt a repair.

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Try this since its booting to download mode (although the ERR texts are not a good sign)

Download the 3.16.617 ruu.zip, rename to 2PS6IMG.zip and copy it to the root of the sdcard (take it out of the phone and insert to a laptop to copy the file if needed and place it back in the phone afterwards), reboot to download mode again and if you renamed the file properly download mode will automatically detect the ruu zip and you need to confirm to flash it.

Here is the file you need

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] seebeexee:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried exactly that. I wasn't clear, but that's what I meant when I said I put the RUU zip on the SD card. It pauses when it would normally scan the card and offer to flash the image, but then it stops with the MODE ERROR message at the bottom. I've tried 3 different cards, a 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB card, each with FAT32 and exFAT file systems with no luck.

Use fastboot commands. What are you trying to select in your download mode menu?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Painzstake:
My HTC 10 is caught in a bootloop.

Bootloader works, the software status is official, locked, and S-on (production). If I'm not mistaken though prior the looping, these values used to be different? It's all stock, running Oreo, and I use Optus in Australia.

Selecting either Download or Recovery display the smaller HTC logo, then returns back to the standard boot loop.

Doing a bit of research, I believe the next recommended step is to flash a stock RUU? If I'm not mistaken though, this'll wipe the phone, which I'd rather avoid if possible!

What's the next step I should take? I've got a few hours to sort this out today, would LOVE a hand with it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
I'd say flash that RUU, but you're going to have a hard time finding one for your model.

What happened to cause this bootloop? They usually don't happen without some kind of user intervention

I've tracked down this RUU and I think it's right?2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.20.710.2_Radio_2.0.U010241a@71204_84.09_F_release_523976_combined_signed_2_4.zip

I don't know. The only recent change I made was enabling write permissions for the app Tiles. Beyond that, I plugged it into a friends charger on about 16%, it powered down on it's own and went into the bootloop.

My main confusions right now are how to choose the right RUU, and whether it will flash via my SD card considering I can't access recovery?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
You don't need to access recovery to flash an RUU. That is done in download mode.

Boot to download mode (power of your phone, then boot it up by holding power + vol down)

Check what it says next to "OS". If it says 3.20.710.2 (or anything x.xx.710.x) the RUU is for your phone. As long as the version is the same or newer (less or the same as "3" and less or the same as "20") you can flash it (you can't go back to older versions while S-On)

I think that is the newest version of firmware for Aus/Asia/710 though, so if your OS matches, you should be good to go
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Painzstake:
When I try to enter download mode, either through bootloader or vol down + power, it sits on the smaller HTC logo for a bit, then restarts, and goes back to the bootloop with the large HTC logo.

Thanks that helps with the RUU's.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] CallMeKarma_24k:
How would the battery be causing it to go into ftm? It never did that before until I flashed the ruu. And mY battery doesn't come out.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Imonol:
What happens if you plug in the charger when rebooting from ftm?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] CallMeKarma_24k:
Doesn't do anything stays in ftm. But, my man fixed it. He went on my phone and ran the DDR test in my bootloader. Failed the first time, passed the second time. Hasn't gone into ftm yet. So I guess that fixed it somehow.

HTC 10 Random Reboots

Hi, I have an HTC 10 (verizon) on latest stock Oreo ROM. The phone just freezes for a few seconds and then reboots. It happens about 3-4 times a day and it is probably not a heat issue as the phone doesn't necessarily get hot before a reboot. It even reboots while staying idle with screen off. I got my phone from my friend knowing this problem. I wanted to know if it could be fixed After reboot, the UDove notification appears. It's a Verizon phone so s-off can only be done by mail in service to Sunshine devs. Even then I am unsure if it's going to be fixed by a custom rom or not as 33 USD is a great amount in my country. I can only risk it once. Thank you in advance.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Try flashing the RUU for it. It will wipe the phone, but it will hopefully fix everything. So, backup anything that you feel is important before you proceed.

Download this.

Since you are stock, I'm guessing that your knowledge of ADB and fastboot is limited, so I'll make it easier for you.

Rename the downloaded RUU.zip by deleting everything in the the name of it except for 2PS6IMG (and .zip of course). Then place that onto an extSD and insert into your phone, or transfer it to your extSD already in your phone.

Boot to download mode (power off your phone, then boot it up by holding both the volume down and the power button).

Follow the onscreen prompts (vol up to confirm the flash ~ power button to reboot when it's done)

And that's it.

If you have everything backed up to Google, pretty much everything will be the same as before after you sign in.

Good luck!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
I did what you said and it's been 5 hours since that. I have seen no reboots in this period but the only way to confirm is to wait overnight. Although I think it might actually be fixed but we shall see. Thank you so much for your help. I'll tell if it reboots.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
No need to wait overnight, if you haven't seen a reboot or any confirmation you can abort and start over. Flashing a ruu is a matter of minutes.

Or manually power on the device if its off now or reflash the ruu if needed and check the screen what messages are displayed. Have you seen any messages at all anyway ?

All info is welcome and valuable to enable us to troubleshoot.....
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
Flashing it is easy but restoring data takes a long time. God, I miss my nexus and twrp.

No, I haven't seen any error messages. It wasn't detecting the ruu at first but then I realized I had my sd card flashed as internal storage. After that, everything worked out perfectly!

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

It rebooted again.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
So the ruu flashed fine and Android OS is running, you are only talking restoring data ? If so it's all good. Restoring your data is on your behalf, helping with the ruu and getting back to stock was your main problem if i am correct which is resolved ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
It was fine for 5 hours. Now it rebooted again 2 times after flashing ruu.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

So It rebooted 2 times after flashing ruu. Flashing it didn't really help.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Oh did you mean that. Well then i guess it's not software/firmware related. Did you happen to test it also without restoring data ? If it's not the data then it's hardware related. Probably faulty battery.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
I did not test it without restoring data. I'm probably going to do it tomorrow and spend the whole day in safe mode. If it still reboots then it's probably a hardware issue. The reason I'm putting in safe mode is that I read another forum and there was this person having the exact same issue. His issue was resolved after he checked that some old faulty app was messing with the binaries. Others say it might be a battery issue.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Cheers, hopefully it will hold in safe mode. At least some improvement if it does.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Arslan.KitKat_bro:
HTC 10 still randomly reboots

Tired safe mode, still reboots. Tried flashing ruu again without data restoration and in safe mode, still reboots. It reboots literally every time I play a video on YouTube. I check the crash log files in udove report and it just keeps on loading and loading and never loads. The most notable thing is that whenever it reboots, the phone automatically logs me out of different accounts. Like the app had been cleared data. I've seen it doing with Youtube (logs me out, clears app data), Facebook (logs me out, doesn't clear data) and Google Assistant (prompts me to setup Assistant again). It may be a battery issue but I feel like this issue may be going towards some other hardware related issue. Although it might be software but very unlikely. I've attached the screenshots from the udove report if any of you can try to figure it out what is happening.
