My phone will only boot to a boat loader. It is a stock phone. I have never done any customization, or rooted, s-off etc. I have left it plugged in for hours. When I plug in a cable or turn the phone on it just goes to an Android loader that looks like this;

Code:
*** LOCKED ***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
OS-4.09.841.3
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Jul   1  2014, 18:30:23.0

FASTBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item

BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLADER
POWER DOWN
Then there are three Androids on skateboards at the bottom.

Selecting BOOTLOADER gives me;

Code:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
CHECK SMARTSD
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
Nothing useful happens. Factory reset and clear, etc just go straight beck to the loader.

I don't believe it is the volume button stuck, as the menu system works fine.

Nothing on the menu does anything except reboot to the boot loader or go straight back to the boot loader. All of the stuff I find searching refers to rooted phones, so I can't do any of it.

Can I do anything useful with my phone?

Thanks

I don't know where you are or what carrier you use, but if you've never done any customizations with your phone, my first step would be to contact HTC or my carrier to see if it's possibly a warranty issue.

If you can't get it fixed or replaced under warranty, then you could see if there is an RUU available for your device. If there is, you could run it, which would restore you to stock, but this will totally wipe your storage so you'll lose everything on it.

Alternatively, you could try unlocking the bootloader, installing custom recovery and then installing a custom or a stock rom.

Thanks for the input. No warranty. I contacted HTC and they just suggested a factory restore, etc - the things that do nothing. It had done this a couple of times and I just kept rebooting until it booted fully. I did try a few things, but I'm positive it was a hardware issue due to the errors I got trying to push images etc to it. I replaced the phone.
