I got a GPE M7 which had a botched update to lollipop where there was an error and I have to restart the phone. Since then I was unable to make any voice calling as I could not hear anything and voice dialing can also make the phone lose its reception. To get the reception back I usually have to restart it several times.
After that, I lived with it for a while, the google support told me to wipe partition cache from the recovery screen but it did not help. The y say they are unable to help me anymore. I tried to unlock the bootloader so I could flash a new ROM. I went through all the steps to get my Unlock.bin until I send the command to unlock the phone at the fastboot screen, it won't go into the screen where the phone will ask you if you really want to unlock the bootloader. So the phone remained locked.
I tried to factory reset it but now it just get stuck in the bootup screen, where the swirling color bubbles are and it won't stop. The longest I have tried is to let it sit there overnight and it used up all the battery (fully charged) and rebooting it up is still in the swirling bubble screen.
I finally tried HTC support and they say I could try to flash their ROM on it. I went through all their steps to flash their ROM on it but it won't accept it. The ROM installer would reboot it from fastboot, with the HTC logo and when it tried to send the ROM over to the phone, it just crash (error 155) and went into recovery. Recovery said that if I can see the HTC logo, I should be able to flash the ROM again. So I did, and then this time it ssai I have less than 30% battery left (Error 120) and refuse to update it, even though I tried three times with fully charged battery (LED is green and plugged in for hours).
Now HTC support is just ignoring after they instruct me to factory reset it again and it just won't work. I don't know what else to do. I have been without a phone for two weeks and I can't really afford a new one right now.
My carrier is Tmobile.

I recently acquired a HTC DNA from a friend of mine, and it was working fine for the last week. I applied an OTA Verizon update, it was part of a 2 part update, and it downloaded a fairly hefty update (took about 30 minutes to download) and when I hit ok to restart the phone to apply the update, i am stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen. It wont load anything. I booted into recovery, wiped cache, and rebooted. Still got nothing. Booted back into recovery, wiped all data and did a factory reset, and rebooted, still stuck at the htc loading screen. After talking to both Verizon and HTC directly, they basically told me im on my own. I have read up about sidebooting a stock rom (RUU or something like that). I downloaded the file from a guide i was following but i cannot even get my computer to recognize the device when i plug it in via USB. The phone is not rooted, and i am just looking to get it back up and running. Please help.
Yes the phone was charged to greater than 30% when i applied the update. (it was on the charger actually, if that affects anything)
Anybody have a similar problem when applying verizon's OTA update, and how can i get my computer to recognize the device so I can get this thing back up and running.
Thanks
HTC One Tmo US fully stock and fully updated:
Ran the update. Verified it was all charged and, after it downloaded the update, left it and returned an hour or so later.
The phone was just sitting at the "HTC quietly brilliant". Left it for another hour and same thing. Did a factory reset and a cache reset. Still wont boot.
Instead of sending in the phone and getting a referb I want to root the device. However I can't turn fastboot off since the phone wont boot fully. Any ideas on how I can get the computer to see the phone so that I can request the token code to get my bootloader unlocked? Please HELP Thanks
This started when my phone was acting out on Viper 4.0 rom and I figured I'd wipe it and start fresh, wiped the phone & ROM no longer booted, went to the forum to see if there is anything new to tryout & found dirty unicorn so I thought hey that's different (for me) let's give it a shot. Long story short the phone never came back until I relocked & used a factory RUU and it worked but phone was now locked & back to stock. Phone is S-Off by the way.
Today was a new day and I was determined to either get a new rom on my phone or go back to Viper 4.0, unlocked hboot & rooted the phone, installed the newest TWRP 2.8.01 and decided ok everything looks good let's see what happens, Dirty Unicorn requires that you copy ROM to internal storage then flash and this is where the first problem occurred; I couldn't mount internal storage so I thought meh I'll just boot the factory rom & connect as USB storage so I did that, back into recovery and somehow internal storage is not in either file manager or could I get to it from the install screen. I gave up & decided to go ahead & flash from Micro-SD which didn't work, tried to wipe & fail, tried to fix permissions and fail, every time I reboot it asked to reinstall supersu so I tried to flash the most recent zip I had and sure enough fail finally one of my zips worked and I hit reboot, that was the end of my phone.....
Right now - phone is completely blank, power does nothing, power+vol down does nothing, power+vol down+vol up does nothing. When I plug the phone into PC it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD RUU doesn't work and fastboot commands return nothing.
ummm what do I do?
oh & the second phone was a friend's phone that he gave up on gave to me to fix for him, of course that's bricked too but I have a feeling it'll come back maybe after the battery dies, haven't tried yet. But I need to get my own phone working so I can be back in business.
Whatever recommendations are welcome
Can't wait to go to Samsung lol this or something similar happens every time I try to switch or upgrade rom.

All of the things you mentioned are user error and have nothing to do with HTC or the phone itself. Now as far as an answer goes to try to get your phone working again, have you tried holding power for 60 seconds? MOD Edit: Unnecessary.

Yes of course I tried, the phone has been absolutely unresponsive. No amount of button holding is going to fix QHSUSB_DLOAD
Correct me if I'm wrong but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948485 is the only known solution for QHSUSB_DLOAD due to firmware issue (I'm pretty sure this is what happened) or Jtag.
Here's the kicker, the files in that thread are no longer there so as it stands phone's just a Brick.
So for now I'm giving up on it and going samsung.
When I have the energy I may try working on the second one I have which turns out wasn't bricked instead the power button is unusable 90% of the time, but for now that's going to be left out of commission. Ultimately I need a backup because sprint techs seem to only operate on a 3 day basis when it comes to physical repairs therefore I plan to revive the second phone just to keep it as plan-b.
May all be user error but frankly what takes me minutes with a samsung seems to take days on the past couple of HTC phones I've had, so the ranting aspect of my post is merely in these regards and that only and out of frustration, this sucks because I'd take HTC build quality over samsung any day. I've been an HTC faithful since their first windows phone (5 years ago or so).
I know I have to fix the power button on the second phone but have any idea why it fails halfway through a factory RUU?
that's where I left off with it, it's S-On Unlocked running TWRP 2.8.0.1 I was trying to return it to full stock so I can have a go with facepalm S-Off procedure.
Did you relock the bootloader prior to attempting to run the RUU?

out of 3 different RUUs I donwloaded only one worked, bootloader was relocked, ran RUU, Error 132 "Signature Error"
the one that did work the installer said finished, phone reboots but goes right back to bootloader where it says "Relocked" & "Security Warning" won't do anything else.
Hey guys, so I've gotten myself out of boot loops before but this time I need one of ya'lls superior minds to help me out, if ya'll got the time.
I'm running a rooted, bootloader-unlocked HTC One M8 (TWRP recovery, custom ROM) that I've been using the past couple months with only some battery issues. Yesterday at work, my phone turned off for no reason, and every time I turned it on, it would turn off after reaching the boot logo. Low battery, no biggie. I got home and plugged it in, but this time it would just stay on the HTC One logo.
Wearily, I decided to do a factory reset, but after still no luck, I tried an advanced wipe (cache, data, internal storage [not system]) and took out my SD card, but nothing new yet. While searching for this problem, I came up on a lot of threads saying the factory reset didn't wipe anything from their phone, could this be a possibility?
Is there something I haven't done (or done wrong), or is there any way to fix this without using an RUU?
Bump; I tried to use the RUU I used before, but it got stuck at 28% and after searching for the problem, deemed it safe to terminate the application and start anew, but now my phone can't boot to recovery and just keeps turning on then off.
Halp?
Hello. I have a Sprint M9. It had been acting flaking lately (I would try to install the latest update, and it would reboot without installing and report that the phone had recovered from an error and ask if I wanted to send to HTC). Tonight, I was trying to use DLNA to play video from my phone to my TV, I was in settings and gave DLNA permission to access my storage. As soon as I did that the phone rebooted without warning and continues in a loop of displaying the HTC logo, then restarting over and over.
I can get into bootloader, download, and recovery mode by holding down the volume down key. I have tried Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data, but the phone still will not get out of the loop.
Phone is stock. I have never tried to root or disable S-on or load my own recovery.
What, if anything, can I do to get my phone working again?
Just tried doing what I think is called RUU? I downloaded the .exe from this site:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-sprint/news/
It found my phone, and rebooted into download mode. It tried to flash my rom, but shortly after trying to send the file (progress bar jumped from 0% to 100% in 1/2 second). The utility gives me a Error [155]: Unknown Error. I've tried a couple times and get the same problem each time.
The utility reports I have version 3.41.651.21 and tries to flash to 3.41.651.31
Great, now it is telling me my software has been modified. (it hasn't) The only things I've done is run the RUU and reboot into recover to clear cache/data. Bad NAND?
Well, found out why RUU wouldn't work. Low battery. Apparently it ate a lot more battery than I realized while it was in the reboot cycle. Tried manually flashing the firmware and fastboot told me the reason it was failing. C'mon HTC, if the CLI can tell me there's not enough battery to proceed, your GUI utility should be able to as well.
Still leads to the question of:
- Why did this happen in the first place
- This is actually the second time I've had a problem with OTA, with the phone thinking the system had been modified. So either the OTA failing somehow modified the system before failing, or there's a bigger issue afoot. (as noted above, this phone is stock, I've never tried to root, install a custom recovery, or anything else)

Same thing happened to me. The update that Sprint pushed last Wednesday completely bricked my HTC One M9. Same failure mode that you experienced. Sprint technical center was unable to do anything with it, so they are replacing it, allegedly ( been waiting a week for said replacement ).
I talked to a few other people who had the same problem, by the way. Someone in Sprint's QA team completely dropped the ball on this update.
Well, even after RUU it says my system has been modified and the phone will no longer boot into recovery. Just errors back to Download with the message that recovery couldn't launch.
I've also now got intermittent problems with the com.android.settings crashing. So I've thrown in the towel and purchased my first non HTC phone since the original Windows Mobile days.
Hello there. The same problem has come to my mind and the phone has been off for almost a month. Did you solve your problem? If you could solve it, how did you do it? I sent you above the original stock rom set. Nothing changed. The phone developer rum works. but the original 0pja200 rom is starting again.
my phone soft bricked, unlocked bootloader and S-off. Whether it is possible without blocking bootloader flashed RUU rom?
