Hey, I got a HTC One X today and used it for about 2 hours, and after going into location settings the phone froze for a while, then eventually it switched itself off. I couldn't get it to switch on, and when I connected it to the charger, I noticed the LED was no longer lighting up when connected to the charger.
So I done some reading, and heard that if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, its basically the same effect as pulling the battery on other phones. So I held it for 10 seconds and the phone booted up, it got the the lockscreen straight after booting up, when I tried to unlock it, I realized that it was frozen again. Then after a while it powered itself off again, so I tried to power it on, once again it was not working. So I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, this time its not working, no matter how many times I've tried it doesn't work.
The phone wasn't rooted, I never done anything to damage it, I read that if you hold the power and volume down it will go to the bootloader, where I would be able to factory reset the phone, but even after hold those 2 buttons, still the phone is showing me no sign of life.
What should I do?
try to put in under charging, is the led red?
if it is, wait 10-15 minutes and try to go into fastboot with power button and volume down, and do a factory reset, or fist you wipe all your things try again to boot it up, maybe it was just without battery charge. is your phone new? or it's secondhand?

The phone is second hand, but condition wise its practically new, there's doesn't seem to be any damage, and its still under warranty, the seller said that he never had any problems like this.
When you says "put in under charging" do you just mean charge it? If so I have done that with both the computer and the AC adapter, and the LED is not lighting up.
remove this post plz

Try plugging the phone into your PC via the official usb cable,
I know you've done that, but Whilst it's plugged in, press volume down & power at the exact same time and keep them held until your bootloader screen shows.
The good news is, I've had this happen to me - i just kept trying.

Tried this, didn't work, tried again to be sure. I can't believe I have such a nice looking phone infront of me and it won't even switch on.
Some people say leave it connected to your computer for about 10 mins, so I'm going to try this now.

Yeah, I you should be leaving it plugged in.
Next step is to get Android SDK installed on your pc, even though it appears to not come on, you might still be able to run a fastboot charging script that will force your phone into its bootloader.

I have SDK installed, used to use it for my G1, not sure if things are the same for the One X. But what your saying kind on sounds promising.
I will look around to see how I can force that, or do you already know how?

Update your packages on Android SDK
place the fastboot charging script in the same folder that fastboot is located on your pc
Usually: C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
Double click the script
I have the script, it but won't let me share it to you.
It's on XDA though somewhere.

Doing a search for "fastboot charging script" doesn't find me much to do with it.
Would you be able to upload it to mediafire, or anywere else?

Ok, downloaded, and tried it now, but it only says waiting for device, so I guess its ain't being detected at all in this state.
The phone was connected for about 30 mins now and still the LED won't come on.
Leave the phone connected to the charger for a few hours. If it doesn't want to work, try pressing various combinations of volume and power buttons. Otherwise I suspect you have a brick.

I left the phone connected all night last night, and still the LED didn't light up, I tried every combination. I don't think its a brick because I wasn't doing anything at the time, and the phone wasn't even rooted.

Mine doesn't blink at all.
The thing I notice aswell after leaving it charge all night, is that it doesn't even get slightly warm. I can't believe HTC get away with releasing faulty crap like this. I had a 2 hour teaser before this started... Good job HTC.
Edit : Oh well, I gave up, I tried everything and anything and it wouldn't work, so I've sent it to HTC for repair since its still under warranty.
Edit2 : It took them a while, but there finished repairs now, and its on its way back to me. They replaced the Mainboard and the battery.
hello..just for sharing,.just now i woke up from bed and see that my phone cannot turned on.. you know what, during charging last nite, i forgot to off the screen(press the on button) so that my phone screen was kept turning on all the night,,.. i'd try to connect it with the charger but it still didnt work.no LED at all. after i read the comment from some of u, i decided to connect it to the PC .. fortunately, the red LED came out..
after wait for sometimes it was turning on..but sometimes can turn off back... its because of the bttery.. anyway, im so happy now.. hahha :laugh:
I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard
There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...
guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile
If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
Thanks

And then?
After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.
Hi guys,
my phone just restarts today without any special hint of why it happened. Now it is in a bootloop with a restart every 7 seconds. I also cant get into fasboot because the phone automatically reboots in a too short period I used the CM10.2 unofficial now for 3 days without any problems.
Is there any way to get out of the loop? My phone was fully charged an hour ago so should last for the next 12 hours sad that i cant pull out the battery to turn it off.

Well that makes no sense I think. There were no problems before with the battery. Im also unable to navigate through bootloader with the volume keys. It seems it automatically pushes the power button all the time.
No I charged it to 100% this morning. No problems at all with battery life.
Is there really no way to turn the phone off? Well, bad bad HTC

Is the power button physically damaged and being depressed constantly? You may have to open the phone to take a look, or try GENTLY tapping the top-right corner off a hard surface.
All else failing...if you cannot reach bootloader or do anything practical with the phone, you will have no choice but to seek repair.
The power button is ok. I open the hox and i see no damage.
When you diconnect charger the hox turn off and dont Boot again. Right?

Now the HOX is empty. When I plug back in the charger the phone automatically starts bootlooping again.
The HOX does bootlooping ALL the time no matters if there is sth. plugged in.
The power button is not damaged. I dont want to open the case cause its glued and there is a risk to brake the display.

Yep I think so, too. So wainting until monday and sending it in for repairs -.-
Have you tried getting into fastboot by
Adb reboot fastboot
While it was bootlooping? It may pick it up and actually boot into bootloader. I'm not sure if you need acces to fastboot for this its worth a try

It is the power button that is constantly pressed. The circuit is disorted by water or something. I had the same thing.
If you open your HOX, wait till the white boot screen shows up, and then disconnect the power button flex cable, it boots normally. You can buy a replacement part for only a few dollars on eBay.

So I went to use it and it wouldnt turn on, dont think the battery was dead but i wasnt sure, nothing would work even when plugged in, no led blinks, no bootloader mode, nothing. Finally after holding the power button for a little bit it turned on while the power cord was plugged in. Then about 15 seconds later it shut down and back to no response.
I plugged it in and let it sit overnight, I got up and turned it on, turned on like normal, used it for maybe a minute, was satisfied that it mustve had a low battery, and i walked away, come back a few hours later and it wont turn on again, wont go into bootloader, nothing. Just blank. Now I know the battery is charged now but its just a mess.
Its unlocked, running scars aokp 10/16 his kernel and has been for a week now. No issues before this. I popped the cover off and the battery connection seems ok, Help?
Looks like something is wrong with the battery. It drains too fast.

Yeah, idk nothing works anymore. I'm hoping to get a new one if I send it into Asus. Have to call back tomorrow they said I'll have to send it in. I'd just buy a new one but for the price and now the reliability of this device. Not interested in spending the money for one again. Very unimpressed

I think there is nothing wrong with your Tab. The battery is just drained.
There are quite a few people here with similar issue. I had this problem with two of my NookHD+s (bought four).
When drained, the Tabs just didn't wake up & start charging when plugged in ... I had to "wake" it up to get charged !!
I don't remember exactly how. But I had to hold some key-combos (Power+U --> Power+Volume+/- on N7) .. until I got a
screen response, then let it charge for awhile. (I almost packed them up for RMA .. until this did the trick).
THEN, you have to check which app is draining your battery.
wont it void all warrenty if sending back to asus with using a custom rom on it
they will know iam sure.they will just send unit back to you
The battery isn't dead, when it does turn on like normal for a few seconds, it says the battery is at 100 percent. I'm fairly certain it's not a battery issue. Believe me, I've tried hundreds of button combos, my next hope is to keep trying bootloader and hope that it goes into it on one of the times it does turn on.

Prolly, but the booklet does say they will cover any hardware issues but is not liable for software or 3rd party software. So if it's hardware I don't think they will care, unlocked or not. I think.

A few years back, I had to RMA my TF101. I had a customROM on it (it didnot power up to get back to stock).
They indicated NoProblemFound but the Tab was wiped cleanly back to initial stock stage (if no problem was found .. why
the trouble to wipe ?). I (later) found out it would power up if I hold the Power long enough.
So, I guess they (contracted repair service) would just hook up the Tab then do a factory image recovery (I ended up sending it back
two more times before they replace the bad mainboard).

Greetings, I have a bit of an issue with my tablet and it's most likely a hardware one.
About two days ago I had my tablet completely discharged and I put it on the charger. I saw the battery and lightning screen and left it for about a day.
Then yesterday I wanted to watch a movie on it and so I reached for it and all it had was a black screen. I thought that it must have charged up completely, so I pulled it out of the charger and started it up.
It then went as far as the Samsung logo and 20-30 seconds afterwards it shut down. I thought that maybe my ROM became faulty or smth and tried to boot into TWRP. Same thing.
Booting into the Bootloader worked but at one point the screen started rapidly changing its brightness. And it again turned off after a couple of seconds.
I tried this several times, connecting it to the wall charger or my laptop but every time it turned on for only a couple of seconds and now it has completely died off. No matter with which cable, charger or power source I try to charge it, it doesn't light up at all. Power button and combinations with volume buttons don't do anything.
A bit of info about the device: It's about 2 years old running the latest LineageOS. Roughly 1 year ago it suffered a drop and the screen got cracked. I ended up buying a spare screen from China and gave it to a hardware specialist to install it. (Samsung doesn't really have representatives near me, so that was the easiest option) Ever since then the speakers have always been a lot quieter and worse-quality but everything else worked fine.
I believe that somehow the charging circuit fried itself and now the battery has died off. Is that even possible? I haven't charged it with any unknown wall chargers or anything that could fry it. Can someone please help me fix this problem since I have no idea where to start?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the suggestion, but your tablet can at least boot. Mine can't, which is the issue and it doesn't charge at all when off.
That's why I pointed you to open it and resettle all the cables, as I did. The problem is different but the solution might be the same...
