Hi all,
I have flashed my new HTC ONE X about month a go and I have been having problems where it would turn off and it would take me 2 minutes holding down the power button for it to reboot. I would have a full battery check a text put it down and come back 5mins later and it occasionally would have itself switch off and take ages to reboot it.
I would like to reflash to stock ROM as if i got it from O2 two months ago but silly me didn't make a backup of my stock image.
Can anyone advise for a fix for the turning off or how to get stock rom back.
Kind regards
James

This is a list of events that I have gone through today. I received a new charger because the old one I had became defective & was charging my phone up & then it would go back down to 0% & then shut off & it would end up in a problem where the phone would not turn on unless I pulled out the battery while the AC was in & then it was able to charge but still it would turn on, on its own to drain the battery when off & this was very frustrating. The charger I have now works but the device acts strange over the last few months doing a task29 & flashing the first ROM after would make that ROM not work & then I had to flash a totally different ROM to make it work. I was using Android & it had died a few times & also I experienced the same thing I did when it would charge up & go back down to 0%. please read below:
I got my new charger today & at 62% of charge I decided to flash to a custom ROM via mem card again well the ROM was a success but when pulling battery out to restart it didnt want to work. So I went to flash again in bootloader by memory card it shut off on me in the middle & restarted into bootloader again & shut off again right away. I did a task29 it worked got it out of bootloader & now the orange led flashes off & on when its off & now ive gotten that to stop. What exactly is wrong with this device?
it was @ 73% and finally setup a ROM NRGY however it ended up shutting off on its self & going into a power boot loop constantly restarting until that ROM can no longer start & now its stuck on the boot screen w/ its info.
I flashed the stock SPL on USB now im going to try to flash the carriers ROM back.
Stock SPL = Successful!
2nd Touch Pro 2 ROM Version Flash = Successful!
Its working for now. Battery is @ 80%
AHH! After charging to 100% idk what it did but when I went into the other room to check out its all possessed.
I have a black screen w/ white text that says:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.
Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
IDK how this happened.
When I hit any key it didnt do anything it was stuck until I did a battery pull. Then I restarted the device it was stuck at the boot screen w/ its red info. It erased the entire ROM. Then I tried to do recover mode & it did nothing. I tried to flash the stock ROM again & no results & then again & still no results. I think its now not accepting the ROM at all since from: in the ROM update utility is blank.
Now it decides to get past the boot screen but then it malfunctions again & restarts itself & it tries to setup a 2nd time then after it does & its on sense home for a couple of mins it reboots twice & now its stuck on the boot screen again.
Things that I can think of.
- Isn't your batterie just broken? You will break your batteries when you deplete them completely. Maybe try a new batterie, because you said that you let it die for a few times. It could be that this is causing your problems.
- Did you flash true usb when you were in the bootloader? Give that a try, because I believe that the customruu performs some sort of checks. Maybe this is nonsens, but you can try it.
The battery was fully charged & it was working better than before.
I reflashed the Stock SPL to flash the carriers ROM back & that worked but at anytime it just rebooted for whatever reason to make it so the ROM was unusable at any time I would reboot it would decide to actually go past it seldom. I experienced that at one point oddly it went into setup n it did it again after a while its just acting strange.
If you're back to stock SPL and stock ROM, can't you just send it back for a warranty replacement ?
IDK how old it is. I bought it brand new from ebay.

No warranty bro...
You can try but no warranty 9/10 times.
What ROM are you using? I used to have that issue with my betas.
It wld destroy itself after softreset and I would have to reflash.
Try to flash, turn off right after it boots, turn on and see how that works for ya.
Rep had told me I could get it replaced & they know I bought from ebay. But I havent called them on this yet.
It doesnt work. It usually doesnt go past the boot screen. Flashing does nothing to help it. Whenever it feels like it it may have to stay on for a few mins to go into setup but most of the time it will stay there & reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot each time its a different # of times & it will reset itself at anytime. Ive even had bootloader shut off on me & restart itself during flashing its a pain. I had another issue I didnt mention my device on any custom ROM when I had 0.85 olinex SPL the device would just freeze & not respond every time. Now this is a different situation. I am back of SPL 0.87 which is the default. I flashed the entire carrier ROM which 0.79 was rewritten w/ 0.87 & that was successful but its still rebooting & causing fatal problems including the black screen w/ white text.
UPDATE: I just walked into the kitchen. Somehow the device turned on by itself & now its sitting on the sense home screen. I know its not fixed but idk why it would turn itself on.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing task 29 1st... Might be because when you flash remnants of the older OS are still there causing trouble. Remember though, you need to have Hard SPLed it 1st....
I got so frustrated I just got done calling T-Mobile Tech Support & they are going to ship me a replacement.

I thought I would reply to you.
This is what started my problems is when I did a task 29 my device was acting funny afterwards. I did it again about a month later cuz I flashed way too much & it kept getting worse. But Task29 didnt help this time its what caused me to have to flash 2 different ROMs cuz the first one I flash after doesnt work.
I received the battery & it didnt do anything.
I'm still waiting on the replacement to come.
Hi guys,
I have (or should I say HAD ? ) an unbranded Desire which I rooted and flashed with Droidzone SuperNova ROM (2.3.3 - Gingerbread) couple of week ago. I also created a full backup before changing from stock ROM.
Everything was working fine, until I decided I am going to sell the phone, so I wanted to revert back to stock ROM, wipe it, factory reset etc so none of my stuff was left on it.
When I went to restore in recovery the phone froze with a black screen - this is when I realised I have not put the SD card back in the phone. Waited quite a while (ca. 10min) and the phone was still not responding to anything. Then I pulled the battery out and ... it want start at all now (obviously I have put battery back in )...
No reaction whatsover, no vibrate, no LED - nothing... No chance of recovery or any other boot... Is this a fancy looking brick now? Is there anything I can try? (apart from sending it back, but I have a feel the warranty is over...)

Have you tried back button + power ?
I have tried [Power] , [Vol -] & [Power], [Back Button] & [Power] - no luck...
The phone is just dead...
I have been using InsertCoin on my Desire for about 6 months now. Great rom, hardly any problems. Until yesterday when my phone's battery died. When I wanted to reboot my phone after it has been charging for atleast 20 minutes it hangs on the InsertCoin splash screen. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot but the phone hangs on almost the exact same place every time. I'm pretty clueless.
I can atleast boot into recovery, so I guess I could try to restore a backup. But as I'm currently away on holiday and I therefore won't have access to my home PC on which I stored the backup for the next two weeks I would greatly appreciate any other solution or ideas.
if u still have the rom on ur sdcard u could still do a full wipe in recovery then re install the rom then just restore the backup when u get home.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Unfortunately I don't have it anymore but thanks for the idea
So while i was making a backup on twrp, and let it finish and rebooted back to the phone and nothing lit up but my buttons i felt the lockscreen circle and what , and was left stump on what to do so i dusted the old odin out and unrooted blindfolded into download mode and did the proper stuff into stock ICS for T989, and it showed for the stock bootanimation at first, so i was like cool, i'll let it sit and settle before i do anything and it stayed on the samsung sign for about 15 mins, so i did a battery pull and then back to square one on the same problem but now under stock, any ideas on how to bring the light back up, kinda bummed that ive had this phone since it came out and still survived me and i just got it new gear so any ideas could help thank you
the samething happened to me buddy. go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache. and you will be fine.
just fully unrooted and sent it back since i had insurance
I had a similar issue last night.. turned out to be CWM screwing up.. reflashed to the newest cwm and everything worked again
My Galaxy S3 keeps shutting off during boot. I encountered this problem while running Cmod 11. Was using poweramp playing music off my 64gb exFat microsd card, and suddenly Poweramp encounters "Error too many files" and promptly shuts the phone down. (Poweramp has been giving me strange problems before this, like that error just mentioned, and scanning for changes when there are none, but this is the first time the error caused the phone to shut down).
After rebooting it, The S3 gets to the boot screen and upon opening an app, promptly shuts down again. Further attempts result in the phone shutting off during the boot animation, and finally now the phone simply shuts down right before the boot animation. (note: it doesn't reboot. It turns itself off).
I thought it might be a problem with Cmod, so I wiped everything and using CWM, installed slimkat. Same problem. so I went and installed stock android using Odin, and now I'm back to stock. STILL same problem.
When I have the phone plugged into a computer, it seems to get further than the boot animation before shutting down (sometimes it gets to the lockscreen before shutting down again).
Any idea what's causing this problem? I have no problems with erratic shutdowns during recovery and download mode.
How old is your battery? Might be time to replace it.
This is the same battery the phone came with since a couple years ago. Assuming it is a problem with the battery, why does recovery and download mode still work fine?

They're not as heavy to load.
Was any modification done to your phone (software) about when that started happening?
The s3's been on and off custom roms for a year now

I mean before it started happening. Or were you on the same ROM/version of that ROM for a while when it happened.
Been on cmod for a year before it happened. Reverted to stock rom about a month ago to unlock it, and then straight back to cmod. A couple days after coming back to cmod, this happens.

Well if you can get in recovery, I would suggest doing a clean flash. But chances are that it's your battery giving out.
If you want to test, borrow a battery from another S3. I know with T-Mobile you can go to a store and they usually have a device on hand that you can borrow one from to test it out before spending money on it. I imagine you can do this at AT&T stores as well.
had the same problem with my atnt galaxy s3
i have the same problem,,i am using cm12 ryt now,,i tried to put every single rom and same thing happens,,i also brought it back to its stock firmware,,and still the problem occurs... did u find any solution for it,already?
