Hey guys, I have an HTC One (M7) from AT&T that I got in August 2013. I have never tampered with it, not even as much as getting an upgrade (which maybe I should have). By now, the battery has suffered a little, so at times it doesn't have enough power anymore to properly power down and just shuts off. That has happened yesterday night. After charging over the night, I tried to start the phone this morning and I end up in a boot loop: short buzz, "HTC quietly brilliant " screen, AT&T logo screen, "HTC quietly brilliant" screen again, "htc ONE" screen, aaaaand repeat.
Maybe I should mention that I have moved overseas in the meantime, so getting the phone to AT&T customer service is not an option, unfortunately. With the help of Google and also this forum I finally figured out how I can get to the boot menu to select Recovery mode. Unfortunately that doesn't help either. It takes a bit longer, I get a symbol on the screen that shows a phone and a triangle for some time and then I'm back in the old boot loop.
I'd be grateful if somebody could point me towards things I could try out next to recover at least the data I have not backed up (mostly pics and a few phone numbers). The hope for data recovery is also the reason I haven't tried the factory reset option yet.
Thanks and please ask if you need more information.
Here's the information from my boot menu:
