How to Fix HTC One M8 Black Screen Bug:

1. Try to Factory Reset your HTC One M8

We have told you more than once that a hard reset aka factory reset may help returning to normal if you are currently experiencing a blank screen, if the device makes noises and you can’t make or receive calls or if it simply does not work as good as when you have bought it.

Before starting the procedure, we want to warn you about the necessity of saving all your important data until starting the hard resetting operations or you’ll lose everything that’s currently found on your smartphone. We know that it is said that external SDcards aren’t usually wiped in these procedures, but we still recommend to remove it in case of using one in order to be sure that data stored there is completely safe.

The factory resetting operation is not such a difficult one – we can all agree on that – but we still want to be clear about something: this can be a tricky procedure especially if you have never done anything like that before, so cannot be held responsible of anything that might happened to your HTC One M8 during this procedure; you should proceed at your own risk only!

It is true that it might take longer than usual for booting the HTC One M8 device, but after that, there are big chances to get rid of the black screen problem. Let’s hope that your screen starts working again.

2. Run the RUU (ROM Update Utility)

If your HTC One M8 doesn’t boot, then you can try to run the RUU (ROM Update Utility). For those of you who don’t know, this is a Windows based exe file that includes a complete operating system (of course, with a stock recovery), bootloader (Hboot), as well as radio (Baseband.)

So, this program is supposed to bring the HTC One M8 back to a stock state while the handset is in bootloader mode, helping you to easily get rid of this problem.

3. Charge your device:

As crazy as this method my sound at first, we can assure that there are several cases that don’t require anything else. Yes, maybe a simple problem as charging has caused the black screen to your HTC One handset. So, try to charge the device and make sure that the handset is not showing the black screen due to the ultra-low battery.

If your HTC One M8 refuses to boot up or shows the black screen no matter what you are doing, you must take your phone to the service center, or you should try to fix a bricked HTC One M8. Or, you can simply contact your carrier to request a replacement device. With a demonstrable issue like a black screen, getting a warranty replacement shouldn’t be a problem, but this might take a few days, so be prepared to wait patiently.
