Ok i got a wierd one, currently running Flinney Cm 10 test build 121, and today i went to play with phone and battery was dead so i plugged it in and came back a couple of hours later and attempted to turn on phone. It took a long time pressing the power button before it booted. I let it sit to finish loading startup processes, backlights shut off, couple minutes later i hit trackball to wake and nothing, I then proceeded to the power button, still nothing. Ive pulled battery and repeated with no luck. So i started to do some reading and found a thread stating to get into bootloader mode by holding trackball and pressing power, this worked, (only one time) so i decided to just reboot device which it did and i did not let it go to sleep this time. I proceeded over to settings/display/screen timeout and set it to 30 mins. I was kinda thinking that the rom that i am running has got some sort of screen of death or sleep of death so i started to download cm9 and set down phone. With in five minutes i looked down at phone and WTF it was off again.( yes i am sure it had battery life last i looked it was at 67%) Now i cant get it to turn on get into recovery mode,dowload mode, or bootloader. When i plug phone in i get the orange led blinking followed by a green led flashing. Ive tried adb NADA i type adb devices and the phone shows up serial is listed followed by the word "recovery", now when i plug in my other phone to adb it shows up but is stated as "device" not recovery. Anyone have any input. I have been searching for a while and found nothing to help. Are there any one click programs that i might have overlooked ( Heimdall Exe) Sorry for long read but i am stumped
Try another battery. Have had it happpen on an old cliq sorta like your issue and poped in a new battery and no more worries.
what an easy fix DUHH
Hi,
My phone has been working fine since I did S-off and installed a LeeDroid 2.3 ROM a year ago. This wednesday I had to install another ROM because of boot loop problems with the previous one. I used VJ CM10.1 v5.3 which worked amazing for almost 2 days. Yesterday at night while the phone was charging I couldn't unblock it (black screen) and the orange led kept light event without usb cable. I removed the battery and since then the phone only vibrates continuously when I turn it on. Even without battery if I use an USB cable it starts vibrating inmediatly, of course with any screen response (in the dark you can see a very light attempt to start the screen but nothing else). The PC don't detect anything when I plug it and I can't use any key combination to get to Recovery.
I wasn't doing anything dangerous, only charging but the ROM was only 2 days old. Does anybody now what is happening or how could I fix it? Sorry if It has been responsed but I think not (It's no the 7 vibrations problem).
I can provide more information if needed.Thanks a lot.
Take out the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, then try to boot.

Same result. It only vibrates. I'm considering hardware fault (is 2 years and half old) but as I changed the ROM this week seems to be somewhat related.
Before we come to a conclusion, let's try all the stuff we can.
Does the phone boot in hboot?
No, all key combinations apparently have the same result.
The last thing i'd like you to try is putting your phone in the freezer with the battery taken out. Who knows, maybe it will boot afterwards.
If not, then send it to a service.
Thanks a lot, I will try. By the way, I've started saving money to buy the Nexus 4
AW: [HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously

Hey guys
I was super happy with my Australian Telstra M9 until an hour ago. I plugged it with 3% of battery in for charging and turned it off to speed the process up. When it was off the charging icon showed up just as usual. After a few hours I came back, unplugged the phone and it flashed 100% for a second. After that - nothing! It just won't turn on! I pressed every button and every possible combination of those. I plugged it back in for a bit and connected it to my laptop. But it's not even recognized. I googled for a bit but found no solution. I rooted the phone a couple of weeks ago but didn't do anything like that today. No updates, no new apps only some WhatsApp and 9gag.
What do you reckon? Is it bricked? Will I get a replacement and how long will that take? I have to leave Australia in 9 days so I'm quite on a schedule. -.-
Does anyone have any advice?!
Cheers Max
Edit: is there a chance to recover the data? I'm traveling and forgot to back anything up. Some of the data is quite important. And do you think I'll get into trouble because of the root?
No clue, try a different charger maybe.
I tried three different charges plus my laptop. Neither of them worked. Is there gonna be any way to rescue the data from the internal storage or will the just wipe it after they repaired it?
I would try holding the power and volume up button for at least 2-3 minutes. If it does come on, as soon as you feel it vibrate, move your finger down to the volume down button and hold it until you get into download mode. Then boot to the bootloader and then recovery and restore a nandroid.
Oh my god!!! Thank you so much! I have no idea why but after a minute it booted up just fine an all my data are still there. I'm never ever gonna forget a backup anymore. But what happend? Why did it start again? Battery is down to 50% so it seems it has been running all night and was stuck at some point. What can I do to avoid this from happening again? I don't wanna get a heart attack every time the phone won't turn on
But for the moment I'm alright! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hold power + volume up button will work in most cases.
TBH, don't really know what happened to you. Did you flash custom rom, recovery? or only root?
I didn't know that. I only new power + vol down. And I didn't hold it for a minute. I did nothing but flashing TWRP and root the stock rom. I didn't even change much with the root and only use it for titanium backup and adaway. That's why I was so baffled, when the phone suddenly "broke" because I didn't do anything unusual to it.

I'm glad you got your phone up and running. I know exactly how you feel, I had the same thing happen to me. I thought mine died when the screen went black after I flashed a kernel. Its always scary when the phone won't respond.
The phone was likely frozen. Power + Volume Up forces the phone to reboot after being held for a while. It could be some weird software issue due to the rooting and TWRP, but no one can say for sure. It might happen again but now you know how to reboot it If you really want to avoid the possibility of problems, you probably want to run stock and not root the phone or change bootloader... but what's the fun in that?
You're right no risk no fun. I'm actually waiting for cm so running stock is no option anyway
Thanks for saving me lots of headaches
FYI - I thought I had bricked mine as well - no flashing activity in a couple of weeks, all good chargers. Even made an appointment for repair.
Read the "hold power and vol up for a minute or two," and was like... nooooo... 10 seconds is the max you'd do that for... but tried it... bam, worked like a charm at ~45 seconds for me. Got into HTC FTM mode in which no option worked (reboot to bootloader, simlock, couple of others seemed to just pop immediately back to this weird non-download menu). Holding power for a while after that reset the device. Working now.
Thanks for the thread... been doing this for five years and this is the first no-charge no-response event I've had

Worked like a champ, thanks a ton! :good:
Hi All,
About a week ago my M9 powered down while on charge and then wouldn't power on again. No response at all from the standard power button but only holding it for a few seconds at a time.
I knew the buttons to hold to enter bootloader and after several tries it powered on again.... It then ran for a couple of days with no issues.
Then a couple of days later had to power off the phone on a flight - same issue - wouldn't power on - dead.
It took several attempts to bring it back to life. I'm now in a position when every time I power off the phone it just doesn't want to come back on? Thought that it may have been a custom rom issue or a kernel issue - have tried changing both (painful experience by the way - having to wait for the phone to decide when its ready to wake up "when it feels like it after each new installation) but the problem is still there.
I have also found that entering bootloader using the power button and volume button isn't the only solution to "waking up" the phone. Just holding the power button for 10-60 seconds has the same effect - but it sometimes takes several attempts over several minutes - its very random.
Does anyone else have this recurring problem every time they power off? Does anyone on "stock" have the problem?
I'm starting to think that maybe its hardware rather than a software issue?
Try turning off the phone, plugging in the charger, and holding all three buttons for two minutes.
HTC has recommended this as a fix for battery issues like the slow charging bug. Apparently it clears all the battery settings and recalibrates it. The phone will reboot repeatedly while you're doing this, but that's normal. Keep holding the buttons.
I have seen HTC phones do this in the past when the battery system gets confused.
Bricked M9

My M9 is not quite 6 months old - ALL stock. Went to bed last night , M9 quick charger plugged in with green light and phone power on - just in airplane mode. Woke up 4 hours later and found the phone dead.
I tried 1 button, 2 button, and 3 button holds for 5 minutes each, plugged in and not plugged in - still dead!
Any help would be appreciated.

Best to run a logger like BetterBatteryStatsor GSam Battery Monitor to find out what is draining it

Ah you cannot even get it charged anymore?
I know HTC phones had an issue that when they are completely drained, they seem to be dead, even not charging or anything. Yet if you keep them in the charger, eventually they would show as charging and being able to turn on again.

Leave it in connected to the stock charger overnight and see if that helps. If not, you might have a hardware fault and need to return it for warranty service.
I too thank you most profusely!!
TLDR phone has issues with wake up and rebooting
I had been using cyanogenmod and had noticed some issues with overheating and power draining on my device so I decided to revert back to stock samsung android marshmallow from this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63868221 After reverting back to stock I have noticed some strange and annoying issues regarding my device's display(overheating and draining stopped after using stock). I'll try and explain in as thoroughly as possible.
There are times when I will leave my device idle say in my pocket or on a desk and when I go to reach for it and turn on the display one of three things will occurs the better being the display wakes normally. The other two are there will be an led blinking and no display or all together no led or no display. When this happens I remove the battery and wait minute or two ( sometimes I need to wait about 10-20 as the device will still not boot ) and after the device boots I again am sometimes troubled with one of 2 errors one is the device booting into download mode ( when I press vol down home and power to get out I need to repeat the process of leaving the battery out as the device does not respond) or the device vibrates as normal on boot but there is no display (no boot logos nothing just black)
Apology for this long post but I am trying to be as thorough as possible as I haven't seen issues quite similar to mine. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Yesterday my phone got stuck in a bootloop (wouldn't go beyond the htc logo screen, recovery was still accessible) after turning itself off (from being too hot I think?). I turned it off via recovery as there was no other way and I wanted to look into the problem now, but the phone won't even turn on anymore. It doesn't seem to charge either (at least the LED doesn't light up).
It's running Android 4.2.2 I think (the latest officially provided) and is rooted. I did not change anything system related recently. The last "noteworthy" things I did were updating a game and "playing" it for maybe 30 minutes (I use quotation marks because I think I left the game running but stepped away from the phone for like 5-10 minutes, but I can't say for sure; it was turned off when I came back), until itself shut down.
The only suggestions I could find for phones that would not turn on or charge were trying different cables/power sockets and removing the battery. Tried 2 different cables on 2 different sockets and my PC; removing the battery it not really possible with this phone...
Any way to fix this?
