BEST FIX: HTC One M9 Boot Loop

The HTC One M9 is one of the best and most brilliant Smartphones to have ever been created. One of HTC’s latest flagships, the HTC One M9 stands quite tall in a large crowd of recently unveiled Android Smartphones. Like all other Smartphones, however, the HTC One M9 is not without flaws. Apparently, one of the most common issues with the HTC One M9 is a boot loop problem. A boot loop is when a device seems to be stuck in an infinite loop of powering down, powering up to the boot-up image and then powering down again.

A boot loop problem basically renders a device unusable, which is every HTC One M9 user who has ever come across it has wanted to get rid of it immediately. In the case of the HTC One M9, the boot loop problem is way more common in devices that have been rooted rather than devices that have not been rooted. In stock devices, a boot loop problem is almost always unfixable and caused by a hardware defect. However, in rooted devices, the problem is most commonly caused by either a faulty custom ROM installation or, in some cases, the rooting of a device through a custom TWRP recovery, and can be fixed. The following are the two solutions which have proven to be triumphant over the HTC One M9 boot loop issue:

Solution 1: Wipe the device clean

1. Power the device down.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Once the screen turns on, let go of the Power button but keep pressure on the Volume Down button until the device boots into the
3. In the Bootloader, use the Volume keys to highlight an option that has the term ‘Recovery’ in it and use the Power button to select it.
4. In Recovery Mode, use the Volume buttons to highlight the option named ‘Wipe Cache Partition’, use the Power button to select it, and then confirm the action.
5. Once the cache partition has been wiped, perform the last step again, this time selecting ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’ instead of ‘Wipe Cache Partition’.
6. From the Recovery Mode menu, select the ‘Wipe data/factory reset’ option and then confirm it.
7. Finally, reboot the device into the Android OS by selecting the ‘Reboot System Now’ option.

Solution 2: Install root through a .zip file instead of a custom TWRP recovery

1. When flashing a ROM from a custom TWRP recovery, flash the ROM and wipe the device completely as described in the first solution.
2. When TWRP offers to install root, decline.
3. Instead, flash SuperSU onto the device from a .zip file.
