After my battery was empty i had to restart my Hero and now it's stuck in HBOOT
I tried already almost everything. I can't go to recovery, only to clearstorage.
I've connected my phone and tried many ways to boot in recovery but my computer doesn't recognize my phone(error: device not found).
When I'm in HBOOT i have two options, simlock and fastboot.
If i press back for fastboot nothing happens, and if i press send for simlock it says open file fail, Reboot device?

Did you install any other ROM aside from the official ROM code?
I installed the Modaco Rom 2 weeks ago, and it worked fine all the time
Damn, I'll guess it's bricked if nobody knows the answer...
Strange, without doing anything...
have you tried booting/flashin the recovery image from fastboot mode?

I guess I also had a similar issue this morning when I was trying to root my phone and it was stuck at 41% while updating ROM. I just did it again after plugging out the USB Cable and running the Ruu.exe and it updated the ROM within 5 mins. I guess in my case it was a case of my Windows getting hung (I was running it within Mac using Parallels), and it just worked after inserting the USB cable again.
Try running the update from another computer (after installing HTC Sync on that ..)
Good luck!
Hi guys, I have exactly the same problem.
One night the volume button would not work. So i rebooted to fix the problem. It rebooted into HBOOT. The screen with the 3 skateboards?
I only get two options
<Back> Fastboot Mode
The back button does not trigger fastboot!!
<Send> Simlock
Doing this only says
FAT32 Init Ok
Open File Fail
Reboot Device?
<Menu> Reset Device
I do so but it reboots directly into hboot again.
It also does a SD card check when it boots up onto this screen, says something like
herodiag.zip
etc etc
and it says not found i think, it goes very fast.
Anyway I am very frustrated. I was using Modacos 3.0. Without many problems.
I have a bad feeling that my phone is bricked.
Any help would be much appreciated.
And yes I have already tried countless combinations of button presses, all still go back to the skateboard screen.

this may sound like a silly comment, but to me it sounds like your VOlume Down button is stuck.
anyone else with a perfectly working hero can try this.
no matter what combination of buttons you press, if you have volume down pressed, it goes into hboot (or it seems to on mine, anyway)
O ok, any idea how I can sort of unstick it?
Seems like a good explanation.
on my cdma hero, following the directions i found online everywhere(hold home and boot) i was getting a HBOOT screen with only an option to erase all settings until i:
1. pop battery
2. reboot while holding vol-down, back arrow and power button
3. this time at the HBOOT screen there is an option to enter recovery mode(i think with a home press) fastboot or simlock
moisture in your HTC hero
It's possible that your 'volume down'-button is stuck because of moisture in you hero. I had the same problem. You have to warm your hero with warm air. CAUTION, make your hero NOT TOO HOT.

Hi guys, I am feeling really nervous about this... So, the problem is, that I've just rooted my HTC GSM Hero and installed 2.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767886). Then I downloaded this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892297. There I chose wrong icon (I didn't notice the icon was for FroydVillain) and rebooted device... Now I can't boot device into normal mode (it shows hero for a while, then turns into black screen, and nothing more happens) or recovery mode (it stucks when it shows HERO). I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4467471&postcount=13 but it didn't work. I'm a complete beginner. Any ideas? Is my device really bricked? THANKS.

Stay calm... it's not necessarily bricked yet
First thing i would like you to do is charge your phone to max!
Try and turn on the phone and hold to "On" key and "Home" key together for 60 seconds. If this doesn't boot you to recovery, try again one more time! It's happened to me that i didn't realise the button wasn't pressed all the way down.
If that doesn't work then let it boot as normal and even though it goes to the black screen don't panic.
Do you have any of the android tools installed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
See there for help on how to get adb up and running and then come back here.
Another thing i'm curious about while we're here... when you boot the device as normal.. connect it to power, the orange (or green) led at the top should be off for a few seconds while the hero boots up... when it goes to this black screen that you see.. does the light come on?

When my phone is off, the led is red. When I see that black screen, it is off... Is that bad??
Not necessarily.. it could just mean that it's not finishing it's boot up... let it charge for a while.
Your phone is most likely fine. You just confused it so it can't start up normally. We'll get you back in recovery mode and then you can reinstall your 2.2 rom.

Hi there
I'm assuming, that You know how to get into recovery, as You flashed a couple of things. Perhaps Your home key is broken
Question: do You have adb set up on Your computer? if yes - does it recognize Your phone ?
There is always option to run RRU...have You tried that ?

have you tried booting holding VOLUME DOWN?

Yes, I have ADB, but when I type adb devices, it only writes: "List of devices attached" (does that mean that it recognize my phone?)
I'm not sure I know what RRU is

Yes, it finds HEROIMG,zip, then loads it, then checks it, and adter that nothing happens - the phone still doesn't boot.
ok, volume down key response is good
ADB apears not to discover Your phone, probably drivers problem ;/
Look for RRU file it's used for factory reseting entire phone.
You can download it from HTC.com site.
With regards
brat.haneq
EDIT: go to htc.com site. look for downlaoding software for Your phone. You will have to provide Your imei. and You will receive .exe file - that You will have to run on Your PC. You can also look for it on this forum, they should be around here somewhere (or perhaps shipped roms.com)

Maybe there's some way to flash my recovery img via hboot (POWER + VOLUME DOWN)?
Try downloading usbdeview HERE plug the phone in,turn it on,leave it for 10-15 seconds for windows to recognize it...load usbdeview and uninstall and delete anything with android,htc,mass storage or adb in it thats showing as connected (on the right hand side) unplug phone......then download and install HTC Sync HERE let it install,then reboot (to be safe) plug the phone in and let its do its business,DONT let windows search and direct it to program files/htc sync/drivers (or similar) you should then have adb! If you dont it could be a problem with your misc.img i had this with my magic and fixed it with a post on this forum but will post it up if the first bit doesnt work

Here is the story. my parent bought my brother the amaze 4g for his birthday. he was messing with it trying to root it and such and today he was trying to install a new rom and while it was installing he disconnected the cable, the screen is a black background with green arrows and a phone. I'm not familiar with this but when i press the power button and down button it says unlocked at the top. When i tried to install the stock rom it keeps coming up with no image.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance
Was he trying to make it s=off? When I did that on my phone that happened, and it is easy to fix. Ask your brother first, but if he was trying to get s=off, all you have to do is get the leaked ICS image from the dev section and flash it. Download the file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615164&highlight=leak, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it on the external SD card, then boot into the bootloader and press the up volume button when it asks if you want to update. However, this only works on T-Mobile phones.
I tried that a bunch of times already but every time it starts checking and at the then it just says no image and goes back to H boot
Edit: It is a T-Mobile phone
Sorry, I just reread your original post, your bootloader has to be locked to flash the file, so boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock" from your computer's command prompt.
I just tried it and it gets stuck on "waiting for device" and I don't know if it makes a difference but something happened with his SD card and my computer couldn't read it so I had to reformat it and its empty right now
If that doesn't work, I am not sure what can be done. I wouldn't think the SD card would matter, but make sure you formatted it as FAT32, just in case, and leave the zip file off of it, go into bootloader and use the volume buttons to go to fastboot, and click the power button to select it, then plug it into the computer. If it then says fastboot usb I would think the oem lock should work, but if that fastboot usb doesn't come up, there might be something wrong with the whole boot loader or something. Sorry I could not help any more.
I went into fastboot and connected the USB cable and it didn't change, it still just say fastboot highlighted in red
I have no idea what you could do to fix that, then. Again, I apologize that I couldn't help more, and I wish you the best of luck with this.
Thanks for trying to help anyway

Adb debugging wasn't on I bet :banghead:
I don't get how he got in this position. I don't use a cord to install ROMs. If he were to unplug, I don't see what that would do except stop charging... Unless he was in disk mode and it caused a bad unmount and corrupted card.
I would try the steps above with a fresh sd card and it should work. Redownload the ics or gingerbread ruu and go through the steps.
He was in the process of flashing his phone with some rom he wanted but then somehow he accidentally disconnected the USB cable and it froze up. Now every time you turn the phone on, after the HTC screen it shows the picture that its being flashed (black background with green arrows going into the phone) so I can't turn the phone on at all but I do know that his phone had usb debugging on before he flashed it.
Ok so I found out he was actually trying to get S-off with some "wire trick" and he said at the beginning of the process the phone was restarting and he accidentally unplugged the usb and when the phone rebooted, it got stuck in the dark screen with the green arrows
This just means he needs to continue trying the wire trick. I was stuck at the screen too. I just kept running the program and attempting the wire trick until I got it right.

I just tried the wire trick and it got all the way to counting 45 seconds and the phone keeps rebooting. So I tried to run the program again and now it says connect device and install drivers

Since I can't get past the htc screen. The computer wont recognize that the phone is connected to it
I has a similar problem when trying to do s-off - try installing htc drivers again after plugging in the usb.
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
This happened this moring for no apparent reason, i moved a file for a game to be installed (final fantasy iv) in the android/oob folder and rebooted, and it never fully did.
Im stuck on the HTC logo forever.
At 1st i said to myself, lets go to hboot and make a factory reset, so i pressed volume - and power, and when i did, instead of restoring the device (wich was unlocked and rooted) it went back to the neverending htc logo, and it does the same for the recovery and the erase everything one, so from that point i tried installing a few firmwares from my carrier which is videotron, and it alway failed either because the signature is not compatible or simply because the device is not detected... it seems to get worst try by try...
I also tried to install from the sd card, adb or Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V5.1 and 4.0.
Nothing works, please help me.
I just bought this phone used a month ago, and i loved it, and its unfair for it to die for no serious reason.

If it went to the HTC logo, you probably accidentally bypassed the recovery.
Turn the phone off, remove battery wait 10 seconds, install battery, wait 10 seconds, hold the volume DOWN button, while holding the volume DOWN button, press and release the power button. Keep holding the volume DOWN button until the bootloader screen appears, and then release it.
See what you can do with that.
If it doesn't help, find the RUU for your carrier--there's a list of RUU's in General section, "They're all here now" thread, and find the instructions for properly renaming it and placing it where it needs to go to have it install.
I had a look at the suggested topics already mentioned surrounding my issue. "ilikebubbles" was the closet match, except they had an accessible OS where debugging and fastboot can be checked.
Im using and m8 international 2014 rooted device. build and software numbers are unkown at the moment as i didnt make a note of them when i rooted 9 months ago.
The problem began last night when i tried to flash "theunlockr.com/rom/ehndroix-v-14-10-22-rom/"via twrp. twrp in the past has always been super reliable and flashes roms at ease. last night i formated internal and wiped dalvick etc and then phone rebooted and tried to go back into recovery. the twrp splash screen flickered for a bout .6 of a second a few times and then hangs on the first htc splash screen. The only intervention that gets me into bootloader is holding power and the down vol.
i noticed i have s-on and cannot find a tutorial anywhere online i.e here, xda, google and utube on how to make this "off" Do i even need to for fixing twrp? All my adb's are current and i have the latest version of htc sync.

yeah, hard reset (with vol down and power held down for 10 secs) seems to load bootloader but when selecting the factory reset option it just goes into the boot cycle as an infinite loop not progressing beyong the attempt at launching twrp. the only way to shut the phone off is to excecute the fast boot option (not pc plugged in) and hold vol down and power. Thats about the full functionality i have at the moment. All data is secured by titainuim on sd card and cloud.
