Completely Bricked My Phone (HTC One M8)

[oldgreg101]

Hey dudes, I recently purchased a 128GB Micro SD card for my phone, and it has completely bricked the absolute s**t out of it.

Here's what happened in the phones last dying moments: phones processors were going crazy, the 3 buttons on the nav bar were playing up major, apps would not load, the power off options weren't doing anything... the touchscreen itself has stopped responding, if I connect the phone to a computer I do get the "device connected" sound, however no device will actually show up on my drives.
I've tried to press volume down+ power button at the same time to get into the boot screen and even that has failed...
Wondering if anyone has any helpful ideas?

You have to hold vol down an power for like 20 seconds. Don't know how long you did it. Just throwing that out there. You can't boot to bootloader via PC with adb reboots-bootloader?

Yeah I did everything you've just mentioned but to no avail. Now I'm waiting for the battery to run out....
If you or anyone else has any other tricks up their sleeves, do lemme know, any advice is much appreciated.

Why are you letting the battery die? Hold vol up and power as soon as the screen goes black release the hold vol down and power

Lesson we all can learn: faulty micro SD cards can completely disable your expensive phones.

I've actually had this issue as well. I had to let it sit over night until the battery died. Then I charged it up, and it turned on just fine.
