[Q] broken phone

hey guys,
my friend gave me his hdh to install roms on, it wasn't rooted or anything yet now last night it was low on battery (8-9%) and i putted it on charger and went to sleep next day when i woke up the charging led was on but the device was off and it didnt respond to anything, i cant turn it on and only response i get is when i plug it to ac and the led goes on and it stays on even when i unplug it, and it only goes off with removing the battery
so any way to fix this thing?
p.s: i havent done anything to it i was going to do it today so no software problem (at least i think)

If you haven changed any software then its got to be hardware related. Have to send back to HTC.

Yes its likely to be a hardware problem. But first, can you boot into the bootloader? Remove the battery and re-insert. Hold down the volume button and then while its still held down hold the power button. Keep both held for about 4 or 5 seconds at maximum. If nothing happened then its definitely a hardware problem. What is supposed to happen is a white screen come up with lots of options.

remove battery for few seconds, and insert again then try to charge

thanks for your answers, i have done all above, and i can't send it to htc because i live in an unsupported country, can there be any other way to fix it? i mean if the bootloader wont run so there is no hope??
is there any way to test the battery?

Where did your friend purchase the handset? As far as I know you may be able to use a multimeter to test the battery but I am unaware of what the readings should be. Or alternatively you can try to find another DHD and test it in that.
Which country do you live in?

[Q] Auto booting HELP!!

I recently was experiencing my phone auto booting. When i take out the battery and place it back in the phone it automatically restarts without me pressing the power button... this happens also when i use the power button to shut down. The only time it doesnt reboot is when i have the charger plugged in. I have no idea why this is happening, i wiped and reflashed my rom (mexdroidmod, its awesome) and it continued. I then rewiped and flashed osimood and the autobooting was still there... help?

it might have to do with timing. if u take ur battery out and put right back in mine reboots but if i leave it out for more than 5 sec it stays off. idk bout power button.

Sadly i left my battery out for a hour and when i placed it in again it reboots..... this doesnt affect my phones performance i am just terrified that its a sign of worse things to come... (came from the dreaded bell galaxy s with its sd card issues.... never getting samsung again.... )

I have the exact same problem. I just realized yesterday. It's worth investigating.

Sounds like it might be a hardware issue. Power button might be broken. Maybe? Now I've I have read you posts again I'm not sure if it is or not.

I also have this problem, just found it out.
When I power off the phone it will shut down, and then boot automatic.

hmm interesting i thought it was only me and noone else becuase no other person posted this issue ever lol think i should make a poll in the general section for people to try this since many people may have it without knowing...
I am not sure about the power button... it still wakes the phone up no problem.
ill probably make the poll this.
Yes, Rooted

No, Not Rooted

I'm on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 btw

GREAT NEWS!
as posted by edkeys in cm7 nightly thread, drain your battery to 0% and let the device turn itself off completly dead, plug into charger and let it charge ~4 hours or until your light turns green. unplug charger, phone will boot, load up your rom, power down, AND IT STAYS OFF!

It doesn't work, phone turns itself off.
Plug into charger and the phone boots...

It might take a few tries. I had to drain the battery 3 times and then let it fully charge for about 4-6 hours. On the third time trying it, it finally shuts down without auto rebooting.

Just pulled it for the 6th time.
It doesn't seem to work.

any way to charge a phone once completely dead

any way to charge a phone once completely dead
as the title states, once in the bootloop issue if your battery ends up at 0% and can't be charged is there a way out of this. Here is my issue. I can't get into recovery. Hboot or fastboot are the only options available. Sometimes it boots into the ROM but instantly dies once restarting. No clue as to the trigger as I've tried pretty much all the combinations of factory reset, reboot-bootloader, erase cache etc etc etc trying to get this into a non on mode so it can charge.
In addition to this of course anytime I plug the phone in it automatically turns on in either bootloader or fastboot which gives it no opportunity to charge at all otherwise I would simply run the RUU which won't let me until it hits 30%. I've more or less come to the conclusion I have to send it in because its not quite the same situation that others have experienced. But was hoping to get an answer/fix so I don't have to send it in to HTC to get repaired since the RMA guys just told me it'll be 10 business days before they even get in parts to the texas facility to get it sent there for repairs.
also of note, I had managed to relock the bootloader but can't get enough juice to run the RUU

What about borrowing a battery or getting one and charging it. That would be better than sending it in.

if only it were that simple, the one x doesn't have a removable battery or I would have solved this by now

Forgot about that, sorry about that.

Have you tried actually just pitting it on the charger? I know the bionic can charge when completely off. Itll act like its booting up but then show a giant battery in the center with a %...

With the current recovery. The phone can't charge while off. You can't let it die
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

yeah so far I've tried literally everything out there. I almost need a way to figure out how to wipe the rom so it can't restart and sit on the loading screen so it can charge, but so far no luck with anything in the forum. I've literally tried it all.
Could be worse, my replacement comes today (but cost the same sadly, looks like the gf will get a new one when I can send it out to htc for repairs and get it back)

So, when you plug the charger in, the phone starts up into hboot or something? And can you not press and hold power for 10 secs to force it to power off while still plugged in? My phone was charging while it was completely off. That's after I discharged it completely, it shut itself off.

any time I plug it in it automatically turns back on. If I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it simply reboots.

By either plugging in every time it stops charging or rebooting it like that you should be able to gradually charge it over 30%, that's what I heard. So it's not as easy as plug in and wait, but rather plug in, unplug, plug back in.

I have this same issue. Arent their any recoveries that charge while in recovery mode??

Yes.. The stock recovery. You need to flash that.

again, can't flash diddly because of low battery. So flashing stock recovery does nothing as it would end in an error.

Very possible solution! Worked for me!
It seems my reply via the XDA-App did not come through.. As I wanted to reply.
My H0X was also dead. Wouldn't charge nor boot, with wall charger or by pc.. but I thought.. well let's give it a chance by using my iPhone 4 charger (with HTC cable of course)
Guess what: It worked!
SO TO ALL WHO IS HAVING THIS 'WILL NOT CHARGE' PROBLEM:
Try an other charger, even try your wireless mouse, or other phone chargers.. Anything!

you don't think something silly like this idea has been done? When the phone is plugged into any outside source of charge, it turns on in bootloader. This does not charge it...

Get into fastboot and try charge ..same happened to me when I tried to install Mike's Rom. So what I ended up doing was after trying a millions things to get a little charge so I could flash stock recovery and relock bootloader. I turn phone off. Plug charge for 2 seconds unplug. Plug again unplug. Big pain in the ass. Don't let charger to long cause it boots phone againg. So usually u see led turn on then few seconds later it goes off that's when u have to unplug charger. Do that again a few times. Enough to get a little charge again to flash stock recover. Once u flash stock recover phone charges normally. You also need the correct RUU for ur phone. That's after flashing stock recovery then relock bootloader then flash ruu. Then u can try again a custom Rom or whatever u were doing

Same **** happened to me. Do what I said. It worked for me. Your phone just need a little charge so u can adb flash stock recovery.

I faced your situation once
get into the bootloader and flash back the official recovery

[Q] My WFS bricked itself. Plse help.

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I installed CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2 marvel/marvelc ALPHA7 onto my HTC wildfire s.
Everything was working great, for 2 weeks untill last night. Battery almost empty and unresponsive. So I decided to check it this morning.
WFs is now off, and won't boot. Battery still almost empty and won't charge.
If I disconnect and reconnect battery, plug in charger, sometimes it starts up, but hangs at green HTC logo. When I leave it connected to
charger it bootloops, otherwise it shuts down again.
I can get into servicemode (vol down/power). Can choose factory reset or recovery, but then it restarts and again hangs at htc logo.
When in service mode, I can install recovery rom via USB, but again it restarts and hangs again at htc logo.
When charger is plugged in, I never get the orange 'charging' led or green led. Only sometimes a very faint red led.
Plse help!
Thomas.

You can buy a cheap Chinese battery charger( u know the one with which u charge your battery directly by placing the battery aligned to its terminals) and charge your battery. After which u can try booting again. Its also kinda weird because all of sudden CWM recovery won't work for u.

Don't worry keep charging for 1-2hrs.
Without interruption..so that you will surely get orange charging light..

Was able to charge the battery fully using external charger.
Still same situation!
When charged phone to charger : faint red led. Keeps hanging at HTC logo.

Take it to a service center act dumb don't tell them anything that you did if your'e lucky they might sort you out..

Or buy a new battery available on eBay... there's a thread in accessories section...
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

Take it for repair and act extra+ stupid, but make sure it's believable.

Better try with a new battery.. If the problem persists go to service Centre.

Try reflashing the recovery...

That is not bricked at all. Just go into fast boot mode and flash recovery from PC

[Q] Charging Problems with HTC One X Phone

I am having big problems with my HTC One X..it all started when I updated my phone to jellybean..I normally put my phone to charge when the battery is about on 20%..I put my phone on charging and give it atleast 2,3 continuous hours to charge itself..now when I disconnect it from charging, it shows the battery still at 20%..I discussed this problem once before on this page and someone suggested me to do a soft restart by holding down the power button for about 5 seconds..I do that and then my phone restarts and shows the correct level of battery at 80% or more..this problem has been continuously happening to me from some time now and I have made a habit of myself to charge my phone for 3 hours and then perform a soft restart in order to see the correct battery level..Today I have charged my phone for 4 hours and have performed soft restarts on my device as well but it showed my batter level still at yellow and while on charging, I unlocked the screen and a message came up "your phone is using more current than your charger is able to deliver. Please turn off the unused applications or power off your phone during charging". I opened task manager, closed all applications and put it on charge again but again I got the same message so I turned off my phone and let it charge for 2 hours..then when I started my set, it showed the battery level at 3% and then restarted unexpectedly..since then I have been trying to restart my phone but it is not even starting itself and shuts down after showing the white HTC logo screen.. anybody explain my problems with HTC One X and I hope somebody can help me..Please tell me what to do..I am not sure whether this started happening after I updated to 4.2.2 sense5 or is there some problem with my charger..I do use original charger and USB cable so I am not sure what the problem is here..please help My phone CID: HTC_Y13

Maybe you messed up your charging cable or smithing idk never happens to me......O the problem is... ITS A HTC ONE lol.
