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.

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.)

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
