ok i had this htc one s for 2 years and its been frozed for months! a emulator frozed my sceen and it will never go away. i can hear noises when i press the volume and when it turns on but it always show the glitch screen. Factory resetting the phone wont work as i tried it 100 times.i can't get to the restore menu because it always shows that glitch screen. all i know is that my 16gb htc one s had low memory and when i went to lauch a psp emulator aka "ppsspp" it glitched my screen. the screen goes black and makes a sound while turned on but it turns to that glich screen after the black screen. i went to a phone store and they told me that it might be a hardware defect :( i hope i can get any help with this because i just got the new htc one and im thinking about throwing away the htc one s if its not much of use.

Hello and welcome to the forums. Can I ask was this device rooted . . can it be fixed . hmmmmm try to do a hard reset aka factory data reset it will put the device in the working order as it came from the carrier when u brought it .
 
No it has never been rooted. I can't reset the phone as I can't see anything because this glitch screen is in the way.

The last 2 possibilities:

1) Have the phone fully reflashed. It's the cheaper option, and will give you the same phone you got out of the box if there are no hardware problems. (It's like a "stronger" reset than a master reset.)

2) Have the motherboard checked (by having a replacement screen plugged in [HTC repair shops will have screens from phones that had other major defects that made them too expensive to repair]). If the motherboard is okay you probably need a new screen. If not you need a new motherboard.

At that point you'll know whether the phone is worth repairing or not. If not, the shop may give you something off on a new phone if you let them keep yours for parts. (Even buttons and cases cost something.)
 
I might be too late and I bought this phone without no contract. I currently useing my HTC One M7 now. I guess I throw it in the trash?
 
Sell on eBay you never no it maybe the screen or hey parts would work also trust and believe someone seen and have had this problem and know the exact fix .
 
Yes but the weird thing is that it shows the screen when i use screenshot
.I connected the one s to my laptop and find the screenshot of the the original screen in the screenshot folder. very weird.:confused:
 
Beware the unbrick can work all it needs is a new software that will run the hardware and you have a working device
 
I am having the same problem. The alarm goes off which makes me think the phone is still working, but the screen is pixilated. Will not change after a hard reboot.

Do you know if a motherboard is something easily replaced. i.e. simply remove the old one and replace it with a new one? Thanks

Just get a new phone and make sure its not HTC. I had to replace my HTC one m7 phone because it had the exact same problem as the one S.
