Hi,
My one X has completely died. I replaced the screen on it but now when I try and turn it on I get one solitary red flash off the charging LED after 2-3 seconds of holding the power button down and that's it. The weird thing is that I only get the red flash when the USB/charger is plugged in. After that I have to unplug the USB/charger for about ten seconds, plug it back in and then it will flash again when the power button is held down. I've measured the battery voltage and it is reading 4.00v. Anyone have any ideas at all? It's not as if I can send it back to HTC because if you open it, it is obvious I've opened it.
It's happened to me a few times before, I think it happens when the battery is completely dead.
I left mine on usb for a while, and then entered it into hboot mode by holding the volume button (down I think) and the power button. After you get to hboot could take a couple of tries, enter into recovery and then reboot the system and place it on the wall charger asap.
Hope it helps.

If u look on here there is a bat file for your phone that loops your phone on fastboot.
This allows a minute charge to the battery increasing its power and then should be able either to boot up or restore via RUU file for your phone.
Make sure you have ADB/Fastboot drivers installed and wait for an hour or so when running file

At the moment, when I plug the phone into my PC, it doesn't recognise anything being connected. When I run the find connected devices in the SDK platform tools it doesn't find anything either. Will the above still work or am I goosed.

Hold vol down and power and should show white screen with 3 androids at bottom and in blue text should say hboot.
Press power once and should change to fastboot in red text.
Connect phone and see if detected by pc then. (You dont run via sdk if drivers are installed correctly)
If you dont have drivers go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135381 and install.
When I press the power button and down volume at the same time nothing happens at all. Regardless of how long I press them for. I'm pretty sure it's properly dead. If my pc doesn't recognise anything being connected I can't load drivers or anything to it. Might have to consign this one to the bin.....

Your phone is dead. Accept it and go use your insurance. You DO have insurance on it, right?

Hi there!
I have got a really strange problem with my desire. Here is what happened:
I opened the market app whilst using mobile internet. The app froze on the loading screen and the phone was unresponsive.
I pulled the battery and powered on again. All seemed fine.
I opened the market again and the exact same thing happened, only this time I can't turn the phone back on.
I have tried pulling the battery. Tried plugging the phone into a charger without the battery then reinserting the battery. Tried charging the battery until the led went green, still no luck.
I had plenty of battery when this happened.
When the phone is on charge, when you press the power button, the led goes out, but the phone does not turn on.
Does anyone know what this might be? or how I can turn my phone on again?
Thanks all!
Bump, does anybody have any idea?
The only idea I have is a hard factory reset:
Try to start phone with pressed volume down and power button, navigate with volume button to "clear storage" and enter with power button.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I actually can't power on the device at all. Can't boot into recovery, can't do anything as far as I can tell.
Any other ideas?

What the hell are you doing to ur desire?
Try removing battery for a minute, then re insert it
Then press volume down and without release it, press also power button and wait 5 seconds with both pressed to see if it boots into bootloader and go into recovery too

I removed the charger before putting the battery in. I saw someone recommend it on another forum with a similar problem.
I have tried to get into recovery after leaving the battery out for 12 hours, after charging the phone until the led was green, it seems I've tried everything to get this to work but nothing.
I'm really annoyed as well because I'm 2 weeks out of warranty. It just seems so odd that a software crash could cause all this.
Anybody else got any ideas?
what happens when you press.. volume down and power.. can you see the hboot screen.. is your phone recognised in ur pc?

Absolutely nothing. Totally blank screen, no vibrate nothing. Phone is not recognised by pc. The only things that happen are the following:
When plugged into the charger the orange led comes on, and eventually turns green.
When plugged in, if I press the power button the led turns off, but nothing else happens.
I'm totally at a loss. I called HTC and am sending it in for warranty repair. They said they have extended the warranty to 2 years which is a bit of a turn up for the books, so hopefully they will fix it for free and not charge me for it
Try this:
Boot into hboot
Count (slowly) to 20
Then press the power button once
Connect the usb
Start command prompt
Type "fastboot devices"
For this to work you need to install Android SDK see here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
If you get anything than somebody can help you. I read somewhere about this issue but I can't find it anymore.
My brother has a HTC One X (still not unlock bootloader and root)
yesterday, when he upgraded GO lock screen, the phone freezed and crash. I don't know exactly what was he doing but as he said, he turn on the phone by pressing power + vol+ buttons. And chose something which he didn't know what is this lol
and then, the phone completely off. I tried to press power button or power + vol+ many times but the screen didn't show up anything
I connected it to my PC but PC didn't recognize phone, and of course, it can't be charged too
Anybody can help his HOX please
I don't know what to do now T.T
how old is this phone if it still under warenty i would send it back to either if its contract and covered to them or take it back to the shop you got it from because it sounds like a full on brick to me.
connect it to the charger for ATLEAST 1 hour then try again. there are no options in the bootloader which brick the phone

yep, i agree... you should charge your phone and you will see you red led blinking... let it charge and that will do the trick
Then plug it to your PC's USB,if your PC can see it's presence and install drivers then it's not bricked.
Most probably your bro did a master reset from the bootloader menu and the battery was weak,if the phone doesn't boot after recharging then hold down power + volume to access bootloader menu and reset again this time with good battery

before having the problem, his phone was at full charge
and as i mentioned above, connect to PC, charge ... the phone didn't show anything
Hold down the power button for 10 sec to do a ''battery removal'' simulation.
Also did yout try to enter bootloader menu holding power + volume(phone off)?

He sent it to warranty center yesterday
They said that the phone was damaged some cables ...
just received my new zl. tried to turn it on to test it out, felt the vibrate but the screen is black. i suspect the battery is dead and needs a good charge. i plugged it into the charger but no lights or indication that it's charging. did the same thing by plugging it into the pc and again nothing. is this normal? do i have to wait a few hours for the battery to charge up? or do i have a lemon ?
i hope to god this is normal. returning this for a warranty will be a major hassle as it was sourced internationally.
alright, i've managed to get the notification light blinking green but nothing shows up on the screen. figured it was off and just charging, i tried to turn it on but nothing happens. so i tried i the volume up + power button trick whilst the light is blinking green and it turns solid blue, but the screen is still off. i believe i'm in fastboot mode now. when i plug it into the pc and repeat the steps, windows recognises the fastboot mode but it can't install drivers for it (i've got pc companion installed). what the hell is going on?
update. plugging it into the pc and doing a light reboot (holding the back off button for 5 secs with 1 vibration) allows the pc to briefly recognise it. it does this for a sec or 2 and disconnects it. and then it will continue doing this on a loop. is this a boot loop? i'm trying to make it so that the phone can stay connected to the pc for a few minutes, enough time for me to flash the rom using flashtool, PCC, or SUS. but because it's connecting and disconnecting, i can't do anything.
so at the moment, this is what i have figured. i'm stuck in a boot loop with a battery that is dead. anyone got any ideas?

The only thing that I could think is that the phone is under warranty which Sony will able to replace it.

well...this kinda ruined my night yesterday...I went to a concert yesterday around 8 and my phone had 70% and I was checking facebook or something like that and without no notification or warning it froze and turned off on me. I figured it was a normal freeze..and I attempted to turn it back on and nothing happened. Went to my car to try to charge it and nothing. Not even a charging light. A day has passed after the concert was over (could not take pictures, thanks htc..) and now the "dead battery symbol" comes up and the orange light keeps BLINKING..to my understanding it means that it is not charging? What could it be..anybody could help me out .maybe a soft reset? no charging it for a couple of minutes?
Anything would help. Thanks
Try pressing and holding power and volume up?
I'm sure you've already tried that, but can you confirm that you have left it plugged in atleast for 5 hours continuously after this happened.

And hold the power and volume buttons down in a well lit environment, there's a "pocket check".
You can also try by hold the power and volume buttons UP
Thanks for the replies , i have tried those opctions. Holding the power and volume UP and thencanother try wih the DOWN the with both. It just blinks orange now. I just woke up and plugged it in again, am going to work and going to leave it like that, hopefully that does the trick. Should i call htc ? It hasnt even been a month since the phones came out.. I did not do anything to "kill" the battery
Ofcourse you may call Htc.
the same happened to me now.did u find a solution?????
Have you got delvolper options enabled, if so when connected to your computer you could try Adb reboot or Adb reboot bootloader

Well only thing I can suggest is you leave it on charge over night. Then try & power it on if no go try and hold the volume up and power button while plugged in for at least a minute if that Dosent work take it back where you got it from.

Unplug phone. Hold vol up and power for 10 seconds, let go, try to power on phone.
Sorry for the noob question, I've been trying to search everywhere with no luck.
I recently found a Sprint Note 7, and was wondering if I can still revive it.
It's currently at 0%, however, If I plug it in, it shows the battery icon.
If I try to go into download mode, while plugged in, by holding vol -, home, power, it just does a bootloop.
Is it still possible for me to revive this? Maybe a guide somewhere I havent found?
Thanks!

Hello.
Here are the steps to force the download mode after the kill update :
Connect it to the pc
Volume down, home and power keys for 3 seconds then remove your fingers (3times)
Congratulations you're in download mode now [emoji6]

Im not sure if I understand you correctly.
I connected it to PC, phone vibrates, then shows the battery icon with the lightning bolt, computer does the USB sound, but on device manager it says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
Anyways, I press and hold Vol- home and power key together for exactly 3 seconds, and nothing happens. I did this up to 10 times, nothing really happens.
Alternatively, I tried holding the buttons till something happens, which is the screen turns black, USB disconnect sound on PC, I release the buttons, phone vibrates and shows the samsung splash screen, then phone vibrates and shows battery icon again. I did this around 10 times as well, but no luck.
Also worth mentioning, I didnt disconnect the usb cable at any point. Am I supposed to?
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Update - It seems I can get it to boot into the the screen before the download mode when plugged into an outlet. However, if I hit Vol+ to go into download mode, it restarts.
A few ideas
I've had largely the same experience with mine. It seems to need an excessive amount of power in order to boot into download mode. I managed to get it into download mode while plugged into a computer by using a y cable to plug it into an outlet first, then swap the one usb input to the pc. However despite my efforts, the pc still would not recognize my phone, and Odin would not acknowledge that it was plugged in.
