Hi all,
So today it just wouldn't boot up. when i plug it in the charger nothing happens
Unfortunalty i can not send it to a workshop cause it was brought from a store in a different country and ATM my country does not have an HTC shop.
I tried booting into recovery but no use. any chance there is a secret button code to reset the device or something similar?
Have you tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds? This hard restarts the phone.
Good luck to you

Nope no use
If you are rooted you have an issue with that file copied on your phone.

if not, leave it alone for a while, then plug it into your computer and hope it will wake up from deathsleep.
Good luck mate.

I have a bricked Xperia Ion that would boot loop on sony logo without being recognized by my computer and as far as I tried, I cant get it to flashmode. It's a Kernel issue because when my phone exits low charging mode, it just bootloops again until the battery drains itself.
It's a lt28at, so my bootloader is locked. Here where I live (venezuela) is difficult to find the apropiate tools to take apart my phone and unplug the battery from the mainboard, but i had already tried hard reseting my phone twice, leaving it to charge and then as soon the red led dissapears, I prepare flashtool with my firmware and connect it keeping the down volume key pressed with no luck.
I*ll keep trying, everybody says my phone is impossible to brick due to the locked bootloader but I have a question that needs to be answered:
Hard reseting the phone does the same effect than taking my batery apart and leave the phone 10-15 to reset itself?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No the hard reset is not the same. For some reason the device will freak out causing this issue. Taking the device apart and unplug the battery is the best way to get your phone running again. It takes allot less time and is not hard to do with a bit of mechanical knowledge. If you want to try the other way then listen careful. When you do the reset with power and volume there is actually three phases. We know about the one buzz and three buzz. If you have payed attention while doing it you may have noticed that just before the first buzz the screen will bleed out and shut off. If you do that after it starts to loop from charging it should then allow you to plug it in to the computer in flash mode.
Keep in mind if it does buzz you will most likely have to start over. So as soon as you see it let go of the buttons. Hope it helps.
Ok, so I get the first buzz, then immediately i left the up button to press the down button while connecting to pc with flashmode ready? I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because it just starts to loop again.
Try reinstalling your Flash tool & the drivers of your device is might help you to detect flashboot

No you can not let it buzz. You must let go as soon as you see the screen start to bleed out. It does this just before the first buzz. Again if you watch it while holding the buttons the screen will start to shut off. As soon as you see it you must let go of the buttons. If you do it right it will shut off and then you can try to connect it with flash mode. Also before you set up your flash make sure the device connects and loads the flash driver. Then you can flash your file.

I'm new to the Ion, so I don't understand this thing about the one buzz and three buzzes... can you explain what this means?

The newer Sony devices have a reset function seeing as most have internal battery's. By holding the power and volume + keys it will do one of three things.
1 After about three seconds the screen will go off almost like it bleeds out. This is force shut off.
2 If you keep holding the buttons it will buzz once. This is force reboot.
3 If you continue to hold them it will buzz three times. This is a force reset. Almost like a battery pull type situation.
Thanks so much.
With a stock kernel, how reliable is this?

This is hardware integrated function.. Even if you flash any other kernel.. This function still remains the same.

Hey
My friend asked me to fix his phone. He said he turned it on one day and it booted to a screen that said "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action"
I would just restart the phone and reflash everything but I can't restart the phone, I've tried holding the power button for like 5 minutes, holding the down volume and the power button, and holding the up volume and the power button. I've even tried holding all 3 buttons
I just can't seem to get it to restart.
I connected it to my pc and a windows pops up saying installing android phone deivce, so I tried to connect to it with adb but adb doesnt recognise it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Darragh
Forgot to say I'm waiting for it to die

No ADB no fun I'm afraid. The button needs to be held down for over 8s to cause a hard reboot, they are also notoriously rubbish, so its worth trying a few times and really pushing some.

Yeah, The phone is dead now, so I'm going to let it charge over night and try boot into the bootloader in the morning.
Fix it
Phone died, I charged it a bit and turned the phone on and booted in to the bootloader fine and sideloaded a new rom. Works grand now
:cyclops:
Hi folks,
first post but an important one. Important enough to join and hopefully get some answers.
My LTE Nexus 7 (running 5.0.2) bricked last night. It got stuck on the Google screen and I had no way to unlock the bootloader to flash a different version of the OS. SO this morning thinking I had nothing to lose I removed the back panel with the intention of tearing the thing down. Then it hit me. The common theory seems to be that it's the way the bootloader is not mounting the storage. So as the device never completely powers off what would happen if I cut the power manually. Hopefully a hard reset. So I detached the battery cable from the board and left it alone for a few moments. After popping the kettle on I returned, replaced the cable and tried turning on my Nexus. Lo and behold it works!
I have an unbricked device.
Which is great an all, but I have the proper tools and knowhow to delve into the hardware. More importantly though I'm trying to find out why that might have worked.
Any thoughts?
Has anyone else tried this as a solution to unbrick their device? Did it work?
There is a way easier solution, in case you didn´t know before Push the power button for a few seconds ( >5 seconds ) and it will shut down the device, the same way you are used to shut down a PC by holding the power button

But surely that's not the same as disconnecting the battery?
Trev
It´s not the same but once you´re in a "boot loop", you have no chance of eg. entering the recovery. This is why you need a way to shut down the device first.
But in case even this "forced shut down" doesn´t help and you´re out of warranty, maybe it´s not the worst idea to open the device anyway since you´ve got nothing else to lose
Hi All
I have an HTC one M8 EYE and i think i have bricked my phone...!!
MY hTC was not showing the sim card and i searched on different forums and found that Wiping Dalvic Cache might able to help.
I tried to get into recovery mode but unfortunately my charging was only 7%. Screen goes off after the initially click on recovery mode but its not turning on now :crying: ....
i tried all alternative pressing power and volume down Combinations ..searched on various forum and you tube but nothing seems to be working.
Now the phone is accepting the charging but not showing up the red light indicator on top.
So, could you please help how to fix this? i only have this phone (no money) .... HTC service centre saying that motherboard or ROM gone..they have to replace that and it cost more than the current value of phone...!! ...pls help..!!!
thanks in advance
Leave your phone on the charger for an hour or so, while plugged in hold the power button and volume up for at least 15 seconds. Does the phone vibrate?

Unless it was applying an update to hboot or radio, it probably can't brick the phone.
It's suspicious that you had low charge, and now it won't power on. You may just be in a lower battery condition, where the battery won't accept a charge. Try leaving the phone on wall charger (not connected to computer) and try the battery combos again. You may need to hold the buttons for a minute or more to force a boot.
But you also should not have been messing with the phone, recovery, etc. with such low battery.
My phone has similar problem but with red light when it's connected to the charger.
Phone doesn't turn on and PC doesn't show anything.
Tried Power and volume up and down combinations many times.

Hi there,
before I send the mobile to my reseller i want to ask if any of you may have a solution.
Yesterday I tried a normal reboot to recovery. The phone went off and then did not go on again. Nothing happens when i press the power button with or without volume buttons.
Even if I connect the charger, the phone does not show anything. It is completely dead
thanks for help
No signs of life? Try holding the power button for 30 Secs...or pushing the power button multiple times if u managed to boot into fastboot or recovery...your should be sorted

Hi,
I had one mobile which did that after an update (it was a Zuk Z2 pro). Really no sign of life.
I let it a part for like one week and the battery went completely down. I tried to charge it after one week, and the phone turned on magically. I guess the update just broke the theorical level of battery so went it was completely empty everything was ok.
But it seem different for you. I guess I would try long press on the 3 buttons, or at least volume down and power, which can bring you to fastboot mode and you will be able to flash with miflash tool.
@eagle*23*: Any news? Did you revive him?
thanks for your answers, forgot to set notification on replays.
The idea with wating till batterie is down looks good idea but i already sent it back to reseller now because dont what to wait so long without the handy drug
The idea with push the Buttons in different combinations i tried several times but did not work.
It's still on guarantee so it may be your best option.
I have the same problem. can anybody help me? did anyone get solution to the case? My case is identical to yours.

Looks like there are not many solutions yet. You could open the Phone but the Flash with this method seems to be stoped by Xiaomi.
One good thing is that it looks like they dont care if your Phone was unlocked or not
