Hi, don't think this is the place to be asking, but can someone point me in the right direction.
Have locked up / bricked my HTC One max.
Had previously;
- dev-unlocked via htc site,
- flashed cwm recovery via adb,
- backed-up via cwm,
- flashed nusense rom via cwm.
was running all good for a few weeks, although had lost root.
manually re-rooted flashing superuser.zip via cwm and got root back working fine.
made another cwm recovery backup.
installed xposed framework (got working via soft reboot), updated sense toolbox via xposed installer, rebooted working fine.
installed gravitybox via xposed installer. then on a soft reset its locked up (black screen, not responding, red charging led stays on when power is unplugged).
can't get to recovery via vol/power buttons.
can't see device via adb devices.
Would be removing the battery at this point on my HTC DHD but thats not happening here.
bit screwed at the moment, can anyone help?

Are you sure your phone is charged. If so try this. Hold both vol u and d and power. the button at bottom should start flashing. Then quickly vol d and power. The vol u and d will or should restart phone.

Bo' Selecta! It lives!
Took several attempts; home/back just flashed on a few tries & didn't go to recovery. But eventually it reset & booted up fully
Guess I`ll go remove the GravityBox module then.

Just so you know for future reference, exposed drops an exposeddisabler.zip file onto your sd card when installed. It's there for just this very thing. Should it happen again hold those buttons and the second it reboots press volume down and then boot to your recovery and flash the disable zip. Your phone will boot up with xposed disabled and everything else as is.

Hold down the power button (takes 10 seconds or so), then when the reboot process is called hold down the volume button closest to the power button. Hold both of these until you get to the download/recovery menu and then you should know what to do from there.

Ok. I used odin to flash a stock version. now theres no boot loop, and i can use CWM. when I try to reboot, Nothing really happens. Does it just take a long time to reboot or...?
btw thanks for all the help
It can take a while for the first boot because the system has to re-build the cache. It won't take longer than 15 minutes though.
Thanks for all the help guys, I fixed it I ended up reverting it back to out-of-the box state w/ SU. altho I am having 1 small problem. its been like a half hour so far and it has not prompted me with the system update from 3.1 to 3.2. What can I do?

Manually check for it or just use Odin to flash the newest file...from http://www.sammobile.com if the manual check didn't work.
Ok, so I rooted my LGOG E970. I figured I better unlock it as well, so I used FreeGee and unlocked it. I tried to download CWM but it said it couldnt download file. So I thought I would reboot my phone. Now, all I get is the google logo, with the unlocked key underneath, and it then goes to the LG logo and back to Google and shuts off. I tried to hold down power and volume down, nothing, and power volume up nothing.:crying:
any ideas? Thanks in advance! I love this phone!
CJ
You too, huh?
I did this the other night, and when the CWM failed to install I went to download it myself... That's when I saw that CWM for geeb is 6.0.3.8, not 6.0.4.5 like FreeGee shows. (Looks like FreeGee has moved on to targeting G2 or another... Oops.)
I hope you backed up your EFS, because mine was screwed up and I needed to manually restore it from the backup I'd taken. (I've had my phone rooted for 9+ months, finally got fed up with stock and was looking to get onto a 4.4 ROM)
So here's what I did:
Held power button until phone was properly off (failed boot seemed to be a still partially on state)
Held volumn up first, then started holding power.
When phone vibrated slightly, I let go of power and kept holding volume up... You should be in boot loader now.
When your phone is in the bootloader, connect to your PC (Make sure you have the proper drivers if you use Windows; I use Linux which doesn't have the same nonsense setup for drivers like Windows does)
Make sure "fastboot devices" shows your phone and then type: fastboot flash recovery _____recovery file name.img____
Press volume down twice to select "Recovery", and press power once to select it... You should be booted into the recovery that you just installed.
Once you're in a recovery, you can push a ROM zip via ADB, flash, wipe data/dalvik cache and reboot.
thanks, Just a little more help

Yeah, the stock recovery won't boot if you try it either. I forgot to tell you that. If you drop in a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), it will work fine and you can both create a backup of your data and flash a new ROM...
If you want to try to get back to stock, LGNPST is what you should try. But to be completely honest, I don't know if you can LGNPST from the state that it's in. I haven't tried, and I'm using a custom ROM now (the whole reason I unlocked the bootloader to begin with).
bummer

Yeah, I got that too. I don't know if I got it fixed due to changing ROM, using the suggested recovery from the ROM, or if it was due to me restoring my EFS backup.
I flashed the TeamWin recovery found in the PSX instructions. Then I flashed PSX + Latest kernel + Banks Gapps + Banks Google Camera + AT&T NFC fix + SuperSU. I manually restored EFS from an ADB shell while in recovery.
When I booted I had: LTE works, Wifi works, NFC works, Camera works, ART works... The only things failing for me are the following:
Cell provider shows up as "Maritime" (display bug; as mentioned, LTE works fine and I'm on AT&T)
Settings > Developer Tools > Geeky Process Stats (does nothing)
Settings > Lockscreen > Slider Shortcuts (crashes as soon as I tap the middle ring)
LogCat is spammed with "QCOM PowerLock: Failed to acquire lock" whenever my finger is on the screen.
/system/xbin/mount --bind doesn't work (neither does mount -o bind). It gets sorta half-way-there, because the target directory can't be removed, but isn't bound properly it seems.
Other than that, it's been fast and smooth.
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:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

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.
Hello Good People,
My Z Ultra arrived and it was already rooted from the previous owner.
I booted up into TWRP and couldn’t do a backup because it would not display completely on the screen, so I couldn’t select an features.
I had to reboot the device by holding the power button and the volume up key.
Sadly I can no longer access recovery.
I have holding the volume up button will reboot but it simply takes me to the desktop(normal boot)
I have rooted all my devices but this Z Ultra seems a bit more complicated than others.
Can some please walk me through the steps of exactly what files are needed to get me recovery back.
Also I have the TWRP Manager.app, can I choose a file can do it that way? if so which file name do I pick from the long list?
T.I.A.
I thought I resolved my issue by downloading:
ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer.zip
Option 1
And it reinstalled TWRP!
Device rebooted into TWRP, I created a background and rebooted the device.
Now I cannot boot/reboot into Recovery again;(
Someone said to press the up/down button a couple of times when you see the pink LED. I dont get a pink LED it goes straight to green.
Can someone please tell me what to do?
T.I.A.
The recovery may still be installed.
Turn off the device, when you see the Sony logo and the green light, hold the "volume up" button.
You should boot to recovery.
Another option is to install Xposed and the Wanam module. Then activate the Power Options menu, which allows you to reboot to recovery.
Thanks for the response.
I was able to get into recovery, and do a backup.
After the backup the phone will not reboot. It has been hours now and no button combo will get it to boot up
Need serious help please
Did you back up your TA initially? You might need to reflash to stock and start again using flashtool and the necessary ftf file.
I would recommended this. It was what helped me start off on my XZU.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569904

Yes, got it resolved.
It must have been a battery related issue during the flashing.
In the end combined with a hard reset got the device back up and running.
I lost my root and everything so now I need to locate a ROM for this Sony version.
Thanks!
Ndrutil on the Play Store is an easy way to boot from the rom into recovery also..
I just got the T-Mobile S5 with 5.1.1 and I want to:
1. Install TWRP.
2. Use TWRP to install the superuser zip file.
The bootloader is unlocked. I assume you need a custom recovery first before you can root the phone, right?
When I install TWRP with Odin it shows it was successful but booting into recovery shows just the stock recovery. There are tutorials that tell me how to deal with this issue but they all require the phone to already be rooted...
So... what do I do?
Uncheck auto reboot, flash, pull cord and battery, put battery back, go straight to recovery.
I actually was able to just run odin . Then while the phone is still plugged in to the computer I simultaneously held down menu and volume up. This made the phone go right into recovery. No battery or cable pull . No need to press the power button either. This worked twice for me.

Yeah I usually leave auto reboot checked and catch the key combo on the reboot. But I like to make people work for it [emoji12]
Got it working with the battery pull. Weird. I don't remember having to do that on previous android versions?
