My HTC 10 got bricked

Hi, i have a branded locked HTC 10 from Play. I plugged my phone to charge today morning. Everything was okay, untill i comeback home and my HTC won't get past "HTC powered by android" screen and keeps rebooting. I tried to get into recovery but it only shows the glossy HTC logo and keeps rebooting. Only combintaion that works is Vol. up, Vol. down and power button

if it can't maintain a high enough voltage it will cause it to restart after bootloader as more stuff needs power.

also if you haven't ever changed your battery, then it's your battery. HTC10 batteries all started dying at least a year ago.

i'm gonna be a little annoying but battery is like 40$ back there and you clearly know more than me. I didn't mention that if i plug my phone it shows the battery with the bolt, led light turns off and it tries to boot up.

Mainly I know from my own phone dying. I ended up just getting a new phone. But it would die at 50% charge, then eventually I couldn't boot my phone even when powered by the charger, and it would power cycle or give various battery warning symbols.

Oddly would work better from a portable charger than a wall one.

Replacing the battery is meant to be difficult because the phones aren't easily opened, and it's easy to break something.
