Hi,
Got a bit of a problem here. I recently bought a HTC One Mini second hand from a flea market, with the apparent problem of it not being able to boot. What happens when you just normally turn the phone on with the power button is that it goes into boot loader without booting into the normal HTC phone. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem (i.e. not like the volume down button is stuck), because trying to boot into recovery, factory reset, clear storage is all useless.
Some details about the phone:
The phone is LOCKED, not re-locked. This means that the boot-loader has never been unlocked before, right?
I've tried unlocking the bootloader on the phone, and the steps are successful until the " fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" part, where the phone doesn't react at all even though the process is shown as successfully completed.
The first few lines on the fastboot screen are:
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000

Thanks for the help!

Device: HTC Hero: G2 on Orange/T-Mobile
Running on: official HTC RUU 2.73......66
I have searched for days on this matter but to no gain.
Basically, I had everything working fine on my hero (on a custom rom i think) then I was giving it to someone else so tried wiping it all by installing the latest HTC hero ROM on their website. This was the 2.73....66 (can't remember the middle section but it was certainly for my device)
This has led to the (semi) bricking of my phone. Without sim in, I will unlock and it tells me to select a language. Okay. Then I can't proceed as it needs a sim to go on. With sim in, I unlock and all I have is 'htc' written in white on the screen.
Boot loader gives me:

FastBoot mode gives me the option to reset device but resetting does nothing.
-------------------------
Holding HOME + POWER brings up a white triangle with yellow exclamation mark with a phone lying beside it.
Holding home again and tapping power brings up android system recovery utility.
I can reboot system alright but can't 'apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt + S]
Or 'wipe data/factory reset [Alt +W]
At the bottom it shows
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have created a goldcard. As you know it is formatted so holds nothing.
I have no recovery installed
I have no nandroid backup (I was an idiot not to make one)
Please help! This is killing me! I know I've been a fool but I need the help of someone better, thanks
Update
I tried going to temp files to get the 2.73.61.66 rom.zip, naming it HEROIMG.zip then using hboot to use. It updates but still the same happens. Does this mean the firmware is itself corrupted? Is my phone a goner?
Can you please try to S-OFF or unlock your phone via HTCDev.com, if you need to update the HBooT use the goldcard method
Plan B, forget HTCDev, put the HEROIMG.zip on the root of your SD/gold card and go to HBooT, VOL-DOWN + POWER, click yes to every question, wait for it to finish and reboot your phone into HBooT again, the first line should show HERO CVT ENG S-OFF
I tried the HEROIMG.zip process you suggested but it remained HERO CVT SHIP S-ON, will now try method A
I can't update hboot through htcdev either. None of the updates for the Orange UK HTC Hero work. What the hell is wrong with my phone?
Hi, still looking for some help if anyone can do anything...
I'll do some experimenting on my device tomorrow, i think you we can fix this
Thanks Kemoba, you've been great!
I have an HTC Amaze 4G PH85110 that will not boot up into the Android OS past the boot screen.
Let me walk you through what happens;
I push the power on button, the phone vibrates and the screen comes to life showing the HTC logo. This is where it stays forever until I pull the battery. I left it on for a good 20 minutes on this screen on a number of occasions and it just hangs there.
When I press the Power + Volume Down button it boots into the special boot screen with the following visible:
Code:

Selecting FACTORY RESET gets me to a dark screen where there is an icon of a phone with a progress bar below it, it stays there for aprox 20 seconds and it then it goes to a white screen with the HTC logo, just like on a fresh boot and it just hangs there forever, until the battery is pulled.
Selecting RECOVERY brings me to a dark screen with an icon of the phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark in front of the phone icon and it just hangs there till the battery is pulled.
From what I remember the previous owner tried installing a custom firmware and something went wrong along the line and was never able to boot the phone back up. I am guessing that because the S-ON was never changed to S-OFF this somehow ****ed with his firmware change. But all that is guesswork as I do not remember the specific details.
I remember at one point installing a custom recovery screen on the phone and it would boot into it, but once I would try and flash a custom rom it would never complete, complaining about access restrictions if I am remembering correctly.
I also remember getting the phone in to FASTBOOT and getting the computer to recognise and communicate with it, but every time i tried to upload a custom radio/rom/whatever to it it would complain about access restrictions.
However, the phone is unlocked. But, the S-ON is.... on.
so
Is this phone salvageable or should I just throw it away and stop worrying and trying to fix it anymore?
Two pieces of info needed:
Pls download AIO 5.1 http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000/?fld_id=2811#files
1. Check what the phone CID is. (write down what displayed in the command prompt)
2. Then try: Reboot into Recovery (see what happened on handheld screen)
P.S. Find a way to charge the battery either..
P.P.S. Make sure you have a microSD card available with you..
Got the AIO 5.1 tool
The CID as copied from the command prompt is cid: GLOBA001
Selecting reboot to recovery makes the phone boot into 4EXT Recovery Touch
I have the battery charging as we speak, and there is a 16Gb MicroSD waiting incase I need it.
Try to download this http://d-h.st/7kW
Rename it PH85IMG.ZIP (make sure you see the file extensions on your PC so it is not got named PH85IMG.ZIP.zip ) then put it on your microSD, insert it, then reboot Amaze into Bootloader (not into 4EXT Recovery) and let us know what happened..
P.S. However it seems being EXE - not sure 100% it will work particularly the way mentioned above.. may require to be executed on the PC..
Alright downloaded the RUU_Ruby_Globalive_WWE_1.45.1500.2_R_Radio_1.09.55 0L.11v2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227347_signed.exe it recognised my phone but it failed to install on the final step saying that it can not continue.
Now I am going to try and download the .zip ones, both from Globalive and T-Mobile and try each one and see what happens.

To flash ph85img from bootloader the bootloader has to be relocked first. But for your carrier I believe you have to run the exe from your computer
sent from.. wait, where am I?
Need to upgrade your T-Mobile Amaze to ICS? CLICK ME!
Unbranded/Asian/International Amaze owners CLICK HERE. Upgrade to ICS from GB so you can flash custom roms
:good: If someone has helped you, hit their thanks button! :good:
Did you try executing the downloaded EXE file on PC whilst connected by the native Amaze 4G microUSB cable (which is slightly different though)?
I don't have the native Amaze MicroUSB cable. Just a regular one.
I am now going to try and lock the bootloader and try the .exe again.
I tried quite a fiew of the official UUM .zips and exe's both with bootloader unlocked and locked. Same thing happens, the .exe's detect the phone start and then say IMG FAIL. The .zip's in the custom recovery menu all start updating then immediately stop.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that I have S-On? How would I switch it off if I can't get into the phones OS in the first place?
To have a phone that seems to work yet refuses any attempt at loading a working OS on it is so very frustrating.
Can I take this into a shop and have them force feed the rom onto the phones memory somehow with some kind of special connection that goes straight to the memchips?
- If you are S-ON - you may just install ROM which is intended for WIND.. no any other ROM..
- Wind ROM must work in Bootloader whilst named PH85IMG.ZIP even if it is UNLOCKED though..
- When you run EXE on PC - keep the phone attached and booted in Bootloader (and there must be Fastboot USB mentioned )
- Try using AIO to install RUU (make sure microUSB cable is 100% operational)
P.S. No sure - but you might want to give it a try:

Check the stickies at the top of the forums for what you are trying to do.
I have a hunch you updated to ICS and didn't update the radio.
My HTC One XL went on low battery and i plugged it on charge. Power outages meant the phone couldn't charge and when power came back on, I plugged it again on charge for about two hours. I tried booting the phone and the phone couldn't start, but the red light kept blinking even though it was unplugged from the charger. I pressed and held the power button for a while and turned it on again. It came on, but could not boot pass the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen, it kept restarting from that screen after it stays on for some seconds.
Next thing i did was to boot into bootloader. The bootloader was initially "Unlocked" but when the bootloader came up, it showed "LOCKED", which means the bootloader has gone back to locked all by itself. I tried unlocking the bootloader again, but when the unlocking warning screen shows up and i select "YES", it restarts and the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen keeps restarting. I tried factory reset from bootloader but the htc screen comes up and restarts from there.
The next thing i did was to look for an RUU. I couldn't find any, as most of the links were down. So i downloaded "RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed" and I tried flashing from there, but the RUU loader could not load on the phone, could not even restart into the bootloader, as the HTC screen keeps restarting. RUU could not also be loaded from fastboot commands. I tried flashing a new kernel, but the phone doesn't allow the command to push the "boot" image file.
The phone was running on the official T-Mobile 4.2.2 Sense 5 which I updated OTA before unlocking the bootloader, and everything was working just fine, until the phones battery run low and the bootloader went back to locked by itself. Please help, as it seems all options have been exhausted. I have attached a copy of an image of my bootloader. But the details are as follows:

OMGOSH!! let me hijack this thread because I'm actually going through the same thing, the phone was just working just fine and a couple of days ago it started acting up, apparently there was an attack to android devices and my suspicions are that mines could have gotten attacked as well, not entirely sure but those are my suspicions...
Well now my cellphone actually restarts itself, and it does that in a loop, once it gets to the main screen I can (sometimes) see an error message saying ???? has encountered an error... where [????] is the name of a module/process, etc., etc. I don't really know, the thing is that it can like I said sometimes show an error message or not at all... the thing is that it just restarts... then if I get to the recovery screen, it shows the same information as the one from OP, now mines is a tad different, mines has the * TAMPERED * Flag on... and I SWEAR i haven't done anything to this phone!
Is this a good or a bad sign?
