It's stuck in a boot loop. I took it to one of those independent shops and the guy says either the processor fried, the memory is shot, or it messed up during an update. He tried to get to the boot menu to restore it to a previous state, but on my phone, an HTC 10 on Verizon, the boot menu is locked and he can't find a ROM for it. He said the best thing to do is to send it to HTC to see what they can do. I'm so sad! My poor baby phone!

The only thing I could think of to do is to put the SIM card in an older HTC I have and hope it works. But the charging port is broken so it doesn't charge very well and needs to be wrapped in a certain way to even get a connection. It's charging now, but it'll take hours to even get to 50%, and that's when it's off. This sucks! I don't have the money to buy a new phone right now. I hope my current one can be repaired for a decent price. I'm fine if the processor is fried, as long as the memory is functional. Anybody here seen this kind of problem with HTC 10s before?

Damn, that's a pain in the ass.

Wish I knew enough to help. Maybe take it to another shop for a second opinion? Or do as the guy said and contact HTC?

I think I'm gonna contact HTC. They'd know their own hardware enough to give me a good idea of what to do.

So it took some doing, but I got my old HTC One M8 to run again and my phone service is working. It runs like ass and it kept popping up this "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error close to 200 times until I figured out how to fix it, but it's better than nothing.

Take it in to Verizon, they might replace it.

Due to the position of that lamp, I can, without hesitation, come to the conclusion that she was murdered. https://i.imgtc.com/VOEsHll.png

They could, but I don't want to lose any data. I'll try alternative methods first.

Well, it is kind of old. I mean, it still works, but it's slow and not as powerful. I'll just uninstall some stuff I don't need, disable some stuff I won't be using, and stick to the basics so it doesn't get overloaded.

So far so... adequate. It's not crashing or overheating or anything. Sucks it takes so long to charge, though. I'm gonna call HTC when I get home tomorrow.

Stupid HTC said they'd have to wipe my phone to fix it. Seems like a lazy way out to me. That can't be the solution to EVERYTHING.
