So here's my story.
Last night I left my HTC One X to charge when phone was off but the red light was on, it was at 1% before I turned it off. Wake up, I turn it on it was at 3%, I was calm, I did a hard reset first before panicking, then it was 40% when it turned back on (fast boot is unchecked), I let it charge, but instead it was going down than going up, reaching to 0% in matter of hours it turned off, the red light didn't blink, until I plugged it back in, the red light started flashing, I thought it was charging but leaving it after an hour it stopped flashing, I had to go to work, so I tagged it along with me, I charged it for after 2 hour the red light stopped flashing and it was solid red, I let it go for another 3 hour before I turned it on, now heres what happened.
I turn it on, it was at 2%, I restarted it normal (power button), it went to 14%, then I wanted to try again, so I restarted it again and it was at 11%, okay, so I left it to charged but it was going down than going up, i've tried other chargers like iPhone and my Asus, still same problem.
My phone didn't act like this until I updated to 1.28, previous was 1.26
Bad news I can't swap it due to bootloader unlocked, bummer. Im sure its a software issue maybe? Reading incorrect battery value or something?
Any help would be greatful!
Phil
P.S At the moment it stuck on red flashing light again...
Seems like faulty hardware.... I too. Had unlocked bootloader still relocked it n got doa as well. Try visiting service center

Pack it up and back to the shop.

Maybe you want to check out this

but then as I said before. DOA.
Have you installed a custom recovery? The phone can't charge when turned off/in recovery at the moment (if you have installed custom) - only when booted into rom or on splash screens.
It's the first bug recovery devs are working on

You seems to have a faulty set.
Do a 1-1 exchange if you can.

Hey,
I'm in a bit of a panic ...
my cell phone ran out of battery life. When I came hame I pressed the power button and he showed the boot screen. Then I plugged him in en left him there for a while. Now , coming back, I tried to boot again but nothing happens. When he's unplugged from the power socket, he doesn't do anything at all, not even bootloader. When I plug hiim in he get's into a loop. He boots(shows black Touch Pro2 sign, red led goes out) then he immediatelly goes to black screen again (red led goes on again) and does this in a loop. Also when I can get to bootloader (rainbow screen) for 3 seconds, power off instantly again)...
I have done a HardSPL and installed Energy Rom 2 weeks ago..;everything worked fine (more or less, had at least 1 crash every two days, but better then the crash every day with stock rom)...
A phone of 600 euro's, I hope it's not bricked Any solution or can I send it in for repairs like this? Rom flashing voids warranty I suppose?
Tom
This is common when the battery is below a certain threshhold. Until it is charged above that the phone will not boot. If the battery is not taking a charge then it's time for a new battery. Yes, a non=OEM ROM will void your warrnty. Do not send it in for service with anything but the stock ROM and no HardSPL on it.
but why does it boot by itself, when plugged in, followed by power off within 2 seconds? There was nothing wrong with battery before this? Shouldn't it be a steady decline instead of being wasted just at once?
It will try to boot, but the phone will not run on just the AC power and if the battery is too low it will go into a reboot loop. LioN batteries can just go bad and stop taking a charge. That's why I have 2.
Are you near a place that has this phone in stock ? or a friend that has one ? if so go there and ask them to let you use the battery for a minute, power the phone up completely , then shut it down properly, take out battery, then put your old battery back in , do not power it on , fully charge it. You should be good to go...
after leaving the battery out for a night, he charged normally and booted normally...fieuw..bit strange, but will not ask any questions about it ...thanx for all the help!!!
Yeah, I knew it eventually would. Happened to me once. I think it has less to do with the battery and more to do with a glitch in the phone reporting that the battery level is low upon boot when it really isn't.
Hi having a little problem with my phone, ive taken it to a few shops and neither could fix it.
ill tell you what i did, i s-off'd my device and it worked well but i didnt like the joker boot splash so i reflashed clockwork mod recovery in hope it would get rid and it did, then i wanted to partition my SD card but realised you couldnt do it through that recovery so i went back to the alpharev recovery! partitioned my sd card and flashed Defrost 6.0k which id had running before the hd rom i had on, i then rebooted my phone and it got stuck in boot loop for some reason? i removed the battery booted into fastboot and it just came up with a blank black screen so i removed the battery again put it back in and tada no power? no led when on charge? any help would be appreciated!
How long have you left it plugged into the charger for? Leave it for about 10 minutes and see if you get any joy with the led.
If that does work, you may have the USB brick. I'm just clutching at straws at the minute though!
i have left it on charge all night still absolutely nothing
Do you get any response when you plug it into a computer? Can you see it using adb?
Me too...
My Desire stopped also working today. Practically same symptoms...
In my case the origin is different, I was on Adamg Oxygen 2.0.1. and loaded the latest kernel from Thalamus 2.6.37 R5. All good, the phone was working for a few hours without issues. Went to sleep and left the phone charging (as usual).
This morning the phone was off, no way to turn it on. No led on charging (probably because batt is full). I can see the leds (green/orange) when on charge and batt off, but it doesnt start, no way to force start to recovery (power+vol-down), no view from laptop via adb, in fact it doesnt even identify the device, which I guess is natural if the device is not starting.
Needless to say that any ideas are more than welcome...
I'm not an expert but it might be dead battery aswell, no idea why people leave their phones charging all night long.. i charge my Desire from about 10% to full in like 1 hour.
u need to take out the batt an see if u can charge it whitout using the phone to charge it
First, thanks for taking the time to reply...
For reference, the batt is full, I checked it with a voltimeter and it is good.
I discharged the batt a bit as well, but so far nothing works...
So not a problem with dead batt...
Ive tried charging without the battery in too, no sign of life!!!
For further reference in case anyone is interested.
Battery is charged (tried with another mobile which started without issue).
I also used the batt from another unit in this "dead" one and same behavior, i.e. no turn on, etc.
Only behavior I can easily replicate:
Phone is off, no charger, batt is removed. Now I place the batt in and connect the charger, the orange lef comes up as if it were charging.
When I press the power button (or the VOL-Down with Power), the led goes off and stays off, the only way to go back to seeing the orange led again is to again, remove batt and charger cable, and then putting again back the batt and the charger (in that order).
I have searched here and google all day to no avail. After charging my phone last night I tried to turn it on this morning and just get the amber led light then the green. It just won't boot. I have removed the battery several times, checked the battery contacts, all fine. I have tried the volume and power button trick but nothing. I rooted the phone about 4 months ago to gingervillian. All, has been well until now.I left the battery in there for a while and noticed that it got quite hot. I have now removed it and am going to leave it out overnight to see if it is anything to do with overheating. Anyone ever had similar or heard of this before, help appreciated.
Flashing amber usually means the battery is completely dead. Maybe try a new battery because it might be dead.
Oh, I like the sound of that planning to go to Tmobile shop (nearest one to me as on their network) to get it checked tommorrow. Thanks for that info.
Just an update for anyone who may have the same problem. I left the battery out all night, came down this morning and tried it and still the same amber to green and so on. Left the battery in and then about half an hour later just about to go out and noticed not flashing anymore. Tried it and it booted up fine! Battery only says 46% left will see what happens when I charge it tonight.
Tempted to go back to original rom in case this goes wrong again, didn't fancy telling the guys in the shop that I had rooted it and so voiding my warranty. Although I can't remeber what the warranty length was anyway?
Going to have a think about it as I really can't stand the original rom version.
Hello! let's just cut to the chase. I need help..
Couple of days ago I got tired of waiting for the new ota for my phone so I decided to root.. unlocking bootloader went well, installed newest cwm, made a backup of my rom and chose renovate 3.0 as my first rom to try... everything works normal and I update the faux kernel on the rom to version 5b01.. all works normally at this point.. I play games, listen to music, surf the web.. yesterday I then updated the kernel to 5b03.. I went playing dark knigt rises (btw a very good game) and the phone heats up pretty much (which I think is normal as the game is quite heavy and I use wilkyys game booster app). I play about 15minutes and I get the message that the battery is running low, I plug the charger in and continue.. five minutes go and the phone freezes and the screen goes black.. the phone is connected to the charger and the charging light blinks red.. the phone won't start, even when pressing the power key for 10seconds. I can get to the bootloader and recovery _when_ the phone is connected to the charger thou.. if I unplug the charger the phone won't do anything. I search the problem on xda and find some threads about similar problems.. eventually after changing from the wallcharger to the usb charger on my pc (did this many times..) the red light goes solid and I press power and the phone boots normally.. weehee I made it!! or so I thought..
Next day: I woke up and the phone was in charger all night. Battery reads 100%. I load "system tuner" and experiment with undervolting my phone (only -50mv) and run some benchmarks and everything seems working.. I start to download an app from the play store.. the phone freezes and again the same flashing red light is to be seen, I thought it could be because of the undervolt but I'm not sure anymore.. and now I haven't got the phone in working condition.. I have now got the phone in recovery for about three hours and there should be enough juice for it to start but it wont..
I also restored my backup but that didin't help.. with the getvar battery-voltage command it reads about 2500mv which should be enough to atleast power it on?

2500mv is far too low for lithium ion batteries. There are protection mechanisms in most lithium ion batteries that will trigger at 2.7volts or lower putting the battery and its protection circuitry into deep sleep.
From the battery university: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries/
Li-ion should never be discharged too low, and there are several safeguards to prevent this from happening. The equipment cuts off when the battery discharges to about 3.0V/cell, stopping the current flow. If the discharge continues to about 2.70V/cell or lower, the battery’s protection circuit puts the battery into a sleep mode. This renders the pack unserviceable and a recharge with most chargers is not possible. To prevent a battery from falling asleep, apply a partial charge before a long storage period.
If this is the case you may not be able to recover easily. We can only assume something went wrong with the phones firmware that caused it to deeply discharge and now protection measures have kicked in.

Phil
hmm.. thanks for the answer.. last night I got the charging light to stay solid when I plugged the phone in and I was so happy.. but I was so stupid and tried immediatly to turn it on.. it even started and got to the quietly brilliant screen, but died pretty soon and the red light started blinking again.. then I realised I should have kept it charging for a while before trying to turn it on... god damn it..

When lithium batteries are deep discharge (below 2.7volt) changes take place which can cause short circuits in the battery, recharging then becomes dangerous, hence the battery goes into a form of safety mode, it's like a fuse blowing. It may never take a charge again, or if it does, the battery life will be less than before.
Hope it recovers okay however if it really did hit 2.5volt it could be permanently damaged now.
Regards
Phil
mine was doing that for a while. Keep it plugged in, if the wall charger doesnt work hook it up to a computer. it will turn on again...
simple keep the phone on charge for few hours and dont touch it.
Ok back to the problem.. the phone was in charger yesterday for about 12hours.. and still won't show any signs of recovery.. blinking red light continues... I might just have to accept that I have to send it in to repair... sigh.. and I think I have to pay for it..
As I said in my first post I have restored a nandroid backup of which I made as soon as I installed cwm.. so I should be at stock firmware? allthou I can't confirm it as I can't get the phone to boot but cwm said restore was succesful.. next step is to install original recovery and relock the phone, am I correct? so next question is.. is there anyway to do this as everytime I try to flash something with flasboot I end up with "failed: low battery"...?

I've experienced this kind of problem when I drain the battery flat; naturally, I crapped myself like everyone else since there's no easy way to remove the battery like you would for any other phone.
All I did (and still do) when this happens is hold the power button until the main buttons flash white a few times, let go and it should reboot the phone..
two minutes pressing power button, nothing happens

did the buttons even flash??
Try holding vol down + power until you get a response, then try holding the power button again ..
for me the key was to get the buttons to flash white, thats when i knew things were gonna be ok! :highfive:

no response! only response is that when it's in charger I can get to to blootlader and recovery with the vol- power combination..

Tried that :/ won't work.. as my phone doesnt restart with the script.. only way to get a response from it is to press power and vol down when in charger...
Thanks for the suggestion thou.
all right.. quick update.. I have sent the phone in for repair.. so just waiting for the repair bill
Ok... update (don't know if anyones interested..) Today I got at txt message from my carrier that the phone is now ready.. and what do you know.. it was covered by warranty. They changed the motherboard and the screen module (I had one dead pixel) needless to say Im pretty happy now.

Don't you just love it when that happens.
I had a rooted phone and my warranty was probably void. A week ago I dropped the phone screen first onto a concrete floor and I expected the worst. Picked it up and turned it on and to my surprise, the screen hadn't cracked. Used it for 5 minutes and it worked as it normally would. When I got back home and wanted to make a call, the screen wouldn't turn on. The lights for the buttons would light up but the screen would remain blank. Calls and texts would come through so the phone worked, just without the screen. After about 10 minutes of tinkering, the screen turned on and I heaved a sigh of relief thinking all was normal again. But when I locked it and tried unlocking it, the screen refused to turn on again. At this point I assumed there would be a loose connection between the MB and screen.
I took the phone to a few repair shops around here to find out how much they would charge and I got quotes around $200. So I decided to try taking it to the vodafone store to see how much it would cost to get HTC to repair the phone. The guy over the counter inspects the phone and finds no physical damage to the screen and says that they'd be glad to replace the phone right then and there at the price of me losing all my data as that would be unrecoverable. I told him I'd be glad to have a replacement on the spot. So in the end, I guess I got a good deal.
Lucky you !

I had the same problem last night:
phone charging with the HTC wallcharger, alarm set.
the device did not ring: it died during the night.
At first, impossible to boot (rom or hboot) or to charge it. I plugged it on my PC and the red light started to flash. One hour later, it was still flashing, so I tried to turn it ON
It turned ON but repported 2% battery only. (ok, that's why it was refusing to boot)
4 hours later, ON and plugged to the HTC wallcharger (that I verified of course), it was still 2%
After three reboots, plug/unplug several times, suddenly battery displayed 44% instead of 2%
Battery monitor repports that indeed, the device charged for the 1st part of the night, then suddenly and very quickly discharged to 0 while plugged, with no particular app to drain the battery.
During the 4 hours it was plugged and ON, it remained 2%, then a sudden 44% after a reboot.....
What the hell is that???? I've now cleaned cache and battery stats in recovery and I'm letting it charging to see if it goes above these 44%
Weird, I really thought my battery had just died....
EDIT: 2 minutes later, it now repports 46%, so seems to charge correctly. But I need to know what happened, I usually relay on my phone alarm to wake up, and if it happens again, it could be a real problem. Maybe I should flash an other recovery, even if I never had a single problem with it?

I have drained battery, been charging all night with a flashing red LED. No response. Now when I plug it in it still flashes red. When I hold the power button (also power+volume down) the main buttons start flashing white, but no response from the phone whatsoever.
When I let go the power button during the flashing, the lights either go out or stay on..
Any ideas? Thank you!
My HOX just seems to have died overnight. It has been completely fine and stable at least a month on AOKP ICJ 1.3.0. Have not done any form of meddling with the rom/kernel/anything since then.
Yesterday the phone was working completely fine, but this morning, the phone screen won't turn on, it won't boot(at all), holding power button/power + vol down doesn't do anything.
The phone is now behaving very weirdly:
Charging does not turn on any LED lights, and it still would not boot during/after charging for hours.
However, it seems the LED will start flashing red if I leave it charging for a while(it's not overheating as far as my hands can tell).
The default action for charging normally is a always-on red LED.
Also, after a some plug-in time, it seems the the HTC sync manager will detect it and auto-run.
Phone remains unable to be turned on.
I kinda panicked here and unplugged the phone to see if the effect can be reproduced; it could not. Phone now remains undetectable.
After plugging it out, the red LED continues flashing for a few minutes, the phone can be noticeably felt to be getting hotter gradually.
But still nowhere near overheating levels.
Could anyone perhaps help me troubleshoot? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try to see if I can get into get it to be detectable again later after it cools down a bit; see if I can at least get into bootloader.
-Reproduced, but adb reboot bootloader seems to reset the cycle, bringing it back to undetectable.
leave it charging
Oh wow. It really works. Thanks tomascus!
Alright phone's useable again. What a panic attack.
Any idea why the first 2 hours of charging before I posted this didn't seem to do the trick? Is this just some internal checkpoint thing?
