Soft Bricked i never seen! - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I was attempting to install CM 12.1 on my M8 and while trying to change the kernel to SkyDragon it started to go into a bootloop. While not really thinking i wiped everything (i seriously mean everything) with TWRP. So i rebooted my phone and now its been on the White HTC logo screen with the build warning at the bottom. I attempted to shutdown the phone and go back into TWRP but no luck. Any help? Thanks! :good:

Hold power + vol up to force a reboot (could take up to 20 seconds). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK slide from vol up to vol down. This will take you to your bootloader, where you can enter recovery (choose hboot, the option is in there) and restore a backup.

[Q] I have nandroid backup, but I can't access to it :/

Hi, I had a ROM and I wanted to change to another one that I had backed up so I deleted everything, went to the ROM, stayed there for an hour and then I pressed the power menu, clicked in reboot in recovery mode so I could go back to my other ROM and now... it doesn't stop rebooting into recovery. I tried taking the battery out and when it turns on, it's like if I'm holding the bottoms to go to recovery and once it passes the logo of the recovery, it restarts and does the same operation... I have TWRP recovery.
Any help is appreciated

Phone stuck in TWRP recovery lock screen and can't force power-down

I am in a bit of a predicament. When I tried power-off my phone from the TWRP reset menu TWRP froze up. I could click any of the buttons on screen (the clicking/tapping animation did go off) but got no repsonse. When I tried to do a forced power-off by holding the power button, the only thing that happened was the screen locked. Now I am stuck on the lock screen because for some reason the phone won't unlock when I slide to unlock it. Am I screwed and will have to wait until the battery goes dead to be able to get back to the bootloader? I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 inside TWRP but it flashed to the boot partition instead. I have a backup but I need to first be able to flash the new recovery to restore it.
Press vol up+vol down + power button for 15 sec or more
When screen goes black
Press voldown + power to enter bootloader
Thanks for the quick response. Sadly I ended up calling it a night soon after posting so I ended up letting the battery die.

HTC M8 stuck problem.

I rooted my phone like a month ago and installed TWRP. After ARHD i wanted to try MIUI, but when i flashed it i lose my root. I m downloaded ElementalX 4.4 gpe kernerl and i go to flash it, instalation go normaly, but when i finished twrp lagged for first time 2,3 secunds when i tap reboot. After that, phone booted normaly, white display with htc and developer text, like always, but after that come black display. It stucked here and i cant do anything. No matter how long i hold power button or anything else it cant do anything. It dont shows orange light on charger. 2 hours i cant do anything, but phone is running something, it is hot right now, cca 41 c, but its still stucked. Please help.
a
finded out now, when am hold power buton + vol up, phone just restart, and stuck like last time. It cant boot to recovery or bootloader
Hold power + volume UP, as soon as the screen goes BLACK switch to volume DOWN. Keep the POWER button pressed at all times.
That will put the phone in the bootloader, go from there to the recovery and reflash a rom with a FULL wipe otherwise it will never work.

Htc desire 526g stuck in boot loop

Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated
HTC Desire 526G
I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.
Still have problems

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same problem and have tried everything to avail, will this devise ever work again its still stuck with a white screen and green HTC

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)

Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.
how to know my device 526g or 526

You can't brick this phone flashing a ROM. If you were just stuck on the screen, without knowing how to reboot (and/or how to get into bootloader), you can force a reboot by:
1) Holding Power + Vol up until the screen goes black to reboot (in a "stuck" condition, you may need to hold the buttons about a minute).
2) The moment the screen goes black to reboot, let go of the buttons; and only hold vol down. Don't let go of vol down, until the bootloader screen appears.
3) If you fail to get into bootloader (stuck on HTC logo screen again), its virtually always due to getting the timing wrong; either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat the process, until you get it right.
