Boots always into fastboot after very long boot-time

He guys,

I can't start my T-Mobil branded Htc one sv (unmodified, everything stock and locked)

Every time I power on the phone there is a very very long boot time (up to 3min) and after this I'm in the bootloader.
Also fastboot commands with direct reboot into bootloader or fastboot leads to the full boot-time like I would do a normal boot.

HTC-Screen -> HTC-Screen with Beats by Dr.Dre -> T-Mobile-Screen -> bootloader

All resets are pointless.
If I enter recovery I can see the blackscreen with the icon in the middle, but there is no menu with options.

I can't unlock the bootloader. If I use the official unlock file I can enter the unlock-menu but if I select "yes" it starts the long boot-phase which ends in a still locked bootloader.

So I'm unable to install anything.

In recovery is also no adb available.

I tried to install a RUU but this always fails because the reboot directly into fastboot doesn't work (So this is my explanation)

So I have no idea what I can do. I think it's a hardware damage but I'm not sure how to check this.


Any ideas if I can do anything or should I just say goodbye ;)

Thanks for your help
Julian

Fastboot's Wipe Cache Partition very slow on 6.0?

Like the title says, it takes about 5 - 10 minutes to perform a wipe from Recovery, where in Lollipop and before, it was a few seconds. A couple of websites have corroborated this.

Does anyone know what's changed in 6.0 that a cache wipe takes so long? I'm on an unrooted N5 and performed a clean factory flash (and re-locked the bootloader).

Did we go from

Code:

---

mkfs -t ext4 /dev/[device]

---

to

Code:

---

rm -rf /cache/*

---

or something? I mean, even formatting a heavily encrypted partition shouldn't take that long (especially one as small as /cache).

Anyone?

Battery - Very weird behaviour

After my stock battery started dying and not holding the charge anymore I bought two new aftermarket batteries (2300mAh) everything went fantastic for some time, then from one day to the other the battery I use daily started draining crazy (even 2% at time) I tried a lot of roms with no luck. Bad battery you say, here is the weird fact, the other battery which used maximum 4-5 times at month keeping it at half-charge, has the EXACT same drain that the other has. Is it possibile that something in the phone has gone nuts and is indicating wrong values? I also ran a full charge-discharge cycle preventing the low battery shutdown through xposed, and it shutdown some minutes after hitting 0%, at full charge indicates 4.300mV is it correct, isn't it?

Also using the *#0228# code (I can't recall now if it's correct) the charge level drops a lot like 30-50% and I noticed that the phone later stays at that % for quite a bit and also the heat from the battery draining stops and the phone stays very cool also while gaming, until it starts draining again

Very basic questions about rooting Kindle Fire

I'd like to root my Kindle Fire (2nd gen, I think - system version is 6.3.4_user4120720). I can't post a link to the method I'm planning to use, but a google search for "techhive how to root your kindle fire pcworld" will take you right to it.

My questions: Which version of the Android OS will I end up with when this process is done? Once the Kindle is rooted, is it then possible to install later (or the latest) versions of the OS, or does the device itself limit what can be installed?

The reason I want to root is that as certain web sites have become more complicated, the Silk browser has become pretty much useless. It's almost impossible to read the news any more. Pages bounce all over the place, or the browser crashes as pages load their nonsensical graphics and animations. I'm hoping that rooting will open up options for installing a better browser. In addition, my Kindle is no longer able to run the current version of Dropbox, which is important to me. And finally, it'll be refreshing to get rid of the stupid carousel!

Top speaker very quiet and distorted since sauce was spilled on it

Okay hi everyone. This is my first post so please go easy on me. So I've had my Z3 for about two weeks now and love it.
Yesterday though, I was sitting in a car with it on my lap whilst eating a sandwich. A couple of drops of garlic sauce fell out and landed directly on the top speaker/ear piece. It was raining heavily so I immediately washed it out in the rain trying to get all the residue out from the speaker. I dried it off as best as I could, put it in my pocket and got back to what I was doing. That night someone called me and I realized I could barely hear them. So I played a video to test the speaker only to find that the base speaker was playing loud and clear but the top one was quite distorted and significantly softer. Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Music volume not very loud

I have been noticing that if I turn up my volume when headphones or external speaker is plugged in, it automatically goes down. Im looking to rip out whatever is not allowing my volume to go up loud. Anyone have any ideas where I can start looking? I have a rooted VM Desire 510 with factory kernel and ROM. I have booted a kernel before that was not write protected and removed a bunch of bloatware and unneeded system apps.

Headphone volume is very low...

I know that this issue is widely reported with various Samsung devices, but this is ridiculous anyway. Why are they doing this? Built-in tablet speakers are quite loud, so this is not a general volume issue, it is specific to headphone output. To add insult to injury, the tablet displays its standard "hearing protection bla bla bla" warning at volume that makes the music just barely audible.

Does anyone find the speed of focus and shutter is very slow?

I am now on Oxygen OS 2.1 and find out shutter speed and focus speed is very slow especially under dim enviroment. It really sucks and makes me hard to record my child. I research for a while and find out the root reason is focus speed is slow. Sometimes you think the camera has completed focus job but it sill keeps finding where the focus point is. :(:(:( I dont if one plus two team will improve focusing speed in the upcoming firmware update or some powerful third party kernel or rom.......
