I flashed Codename Android onto my Verizon Nexus and it worked fine, minus a little battery drain from Maps. A couple days later, the battery drains all the way and when I plug it in, nothing happens. No charging icon, no indicator light, nothing. No button combinations get the phone or screen on. I let it "charge" completely overnight, but still nothing turns the phone on. I know the charge is good because I use it with an S3 as well.
Anything I should try, or is completely dead?
Maybe adb it, it might work
Sorry I don't have the device just trying to help it happened to my dhd but turns out it was a brick

Thanks for that link! I will definitely have to try that if the problem happens again.
I connected it to the computer and nothing happened, so I took the battery out and got the connector pins wet hoping for a last ditch effort. Nothing happened, so I pressed the battery into the pins as hard as I could, and the phone turned on! I guess the pins are getting worn or something. I'll have to make a spacer so that they press closer together.

Hi there
I recently attempted to change the digitizer on my one x, breaking the lcd in the process.
I ordered one from eBay and installed it along with my new digitizer. Both went well and my one x was looking fresh again.
With the housing off still, I wasnt 100% happy with the double sided tape i used so decided to redo the bonding process.
Anyways... Long story short.
My wife accidentally spilled the tiniest bit of water on the surface my phone was on. It did get on the phone but not too much, I broke down the components and put them in a rice bag overnight. now the lcd screen is cloudy (not a problem really, can get another for £20) but the htc logo comes on with a vibration as normal but then after 3 seconds goes off and repeats. Thinking my battery could be drained I've had it on charge for at least half hour with no luck.
I hope this isn't a hardware issue. I can't afford this right now.
Trying to boot into recovery brings up the low battery text too but again reboots after 3 seconds. Ive triple checked all ribbons/cables/connections and everything seems fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
Edit: A post on this thread... http://androidforums.com/htc-one-x-xl/635327-help-my-htc-one-x-wont-stop-rebooting.html hints at it possibly being an issue with the powerflex cable attached to the power button. After a few wiggles and playabouts the phone went on to the bootanimation but then rebooted. So its possible it is the cable?! How do i go about changing this and further testing to make sure it is exactly this?
Edit II: Seems to be now the powerflex cable is faulty, as when I disconnect it from the slot, the charge LED now remains constant. I've disconnected everything else. Leaving it to charge for a while then gonna research the power cable. tried connecting the power cable but it just causes it to restart with LED flashing every 3 secs. hence why i know it restarts.

you should be happy atleast your motherboard is okay now try getting a new power flex cable and check whether your htc still reboots or not with the new one,,,best ov luck :good:
Cheers mate. One is on order from eBay. I ended up removing the power cable because it just interfered with boot ups. It's a bugger having to use sweep to wake and ADB commands but at least it now works
Also no mic for calls but that's OK. Loudspeaker works still

I bought my Mom a used Inc2 on eBay. Rooted/S-OFF running SlimRom 4.2.2 on Page Plus.
My Mom messages me on Facebook to tell me she thinks the phone is broken. I have to agree. I don't know what she did, but she seems to think she had somehow got the phone into fastboot/bootloader/recovery and was trying to pull the battery to get it back to normal. She thinks she selected something before the battery pull, but doesn't know what.
Phone won't turn on (no splash screen, no boot animation, no nothing).
No LED when phone is plugged in.
Tried several charging cables.
Tried switching with a battery known to work and be charged.
Nothing.
Anyone else ever have a similar issue? Is there any way to repair this (taking apart phone and replacing parts)? Or should I just buy her a new phone?
Pull the battery completely..wait a sec with your finger on the power to completely discharge it ...pop battery back in volumedown +power to get into recovery check to see if she formated anything fix w.e profit perhaps ?

Battery is my guess
My guess was the battery too. Your mom may not have put it back in correctly (My mom sometimes can't see the little gold connectors without her glasses.) Make sure the connectors match up.
If that wasn't the problem, try using a (cell phone) universal battery charger.
(Amazon.com has them for cheap, and they save your life if your usb port ever dies until you can replace the charging port.)
Once you know the battery is charged, and put in correctly, you can tell if it's the phone or not.
If she wiped the system cache, you won't boot. But, you can always try placing a new ROM on the SD card (easiest way is using a desktop computer with an SD card reader,) and re-install the phone's operating system (rom).
Even if the phone is somehow bricked: you can still get her data and pictures off the SD card with any SD card reader connected to a computer.

Thanks for the responses. But alas, it is not a simple matter of battery wrong way. My gf has the same phone and hers works. I tried switching batteries and the one from my Mom's phone works and has about 40% juice in it.
But her phone won't respond at all. When you plug in the USB charger, the LED should come on to signify that the phone is receiving power from the wall/computer/etc... There's nothing.
The phone doesn't turn on at all. I can't get into recovery because it won't power on at all.
She said the phone booted a couple times before I got it, but got stuck on the boot animation and never made it into the actual ROM. Now it won't come on at all. I guess the phone is bricked completely (by no fault of the software - I think this is some sort of hardward issue but I just don't know what)
I guess I'll activate her old phone. Thanks for trying to help.
(I really thought holding the power button without battery in might work because I had used that trick once before, but alas, nothing)
Maybe the power button is dirty try to clean it there's I tear down guide...you won't need to go far into it tho verrrry simple...voids warranty for sure

I thought about that, too... But why wouldn't the LED turn on when connected to USB?
Warranty isn't an issue lol. I bought this thing refurbished on eBay.
Who knows maybe it dropped busting the led and power button...dinc forensics
O yea if not then its hardware software wouldn't make the phone not charge

I have same problem
I have same problem and when i got maintenance center they told me must change the IC flash for phone :crying:
Check the USB port
These phones came out so long ago I imagine original warranty is long gone. I that's the case, might as well open it up and check or fix the power button like chilly suggests.
There are little ribbon cables everywhere inside, for things like the USB port, screen digitizer...and if the phone was dropped, it could have squished the power button, and easily, jarred a ribbon loose. Checking them all out and inspecting the power button might be all you need to do for a fix. At the end of it all, even if nothing is solved, you can sell the phone for parts on ebay and make at least $45.
I thought about doing that once, but I'm glad I inspected mine before I hit the "sell button." I watched some tear-down videos on youtube and decided to give it a go. Now I'm much more comfortable with tinkering with phones. It can be a nice learning experience.
It started when I once tried to plug in my phone in the dark, and I actually managed to cram the USB charger into the phone upside-down!
What this did was make the phone un-chargable, even though the usb cable would still fit in there just fine.
Same symptoms you are having: cord goes in, no light comes on. Yet, the cord charges other phones just fine.
On ebay you can buy new USB ports for about $6-9. I purchased one, found a how-to video on youtube, and repaired mine myself with just a cheap torc x screwdriver set that I purchased for $8.
Fix worked 100%. Don't give up just yet.
So I woke up this morning and my phone was A-OK. Charged to 100% overnight, and I left it plugged in while getting ready for work. I came back to it 20 minutes later and it was really warm/borderline hot to the touch (through a case). The battery was down to 85% yet still plugged in. I then drove to the train station 5 minutes away and it went down to near 50%, still really warm/hot.
Streamed some music and watched some Netflix on the 90 minute ride, and the battery was down to 35%. At this point I turned the phone off because it was still hot.
Plugged it in to charge at the office, and got a blinking red light for about 10 seconds. It then went solid red and stayed that way until I unplugged it 4 hours later. The phone was still quite warm, but no longer hot. Hold down the power button... nothing. Plug it back in, same red light pattern. I got nervous at this point and hit up good old El Goog to see what could be wrong.
Found a lot of threads pointing to the One X suffering this fate, along with a few One's. Followed the advise of holding VolUp + VolDown + Power for 2 minutes. The phone got hot again. Unplugged the phone, removed the SIM, and held the buttons again. The phone had cooled off dramatically while doing this, to the point that it is now cold to the touch. Reinserted the SIM, and plugged it in again... no light at all this time.
From this point on, the various threads disagree on the next steps. Plugging it in to the computer yields no light, just like an wall charger. I don't have the HTC cord with me at work. I've tried a Nokia micro USB cable and a Sony wall charger. Other suggestions call for leaving the phone off (like I have a choice on that part) and unplugged for several hours. Others say to mash the Power button for 10-20 times and that may cause it to power on.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed with this? My phone is unlocked, so I'd love to avoid replacing it.

Have you tried the bright light trick? Hold the phone under a bright light (really bright light, the brighter the better) and hold down the volume button + power for 15-20 seconds. That should get you into your bootloader. This will tell you whether or not its rom based, or phone based.
If you cant even get into your bootloader, it sounds like a hardware problem. If you can get into your bootloader but it will not boot to your rom, then its software.
Thats all I got for now. Sorry.
Seriously sounds like a battery/charging issue, gives all signs of a discharging battery. That would explain the heat build-up.
Was you using the charger that came with it? Or are you using a different charger? I once used my motorola cord to charge my phone and it felt like it was going to burst in to flames. I then got the HTC cord that came with the phone and it cooled down.

No luck on the bright light trick. I tried holding just power, power + down, power + up, and power + both underneath a fairly bright fluorescent light.

I don't have the OEM charger here, but I was using it at home to charge it. I'm hoping leaving it alone for another 4 hours will bring it back to life on the HTC cable.

Lets hope that it didnt turn on because the battery died. Hopefully the OEM HTC cable/charger will fix your issue.
If your battery is truly completely drained, it may take a few seconds for the light to finally come on... so dont freak out in the first 10 seconds.
Your battery could of went bad. Does your phone look like it has swelled anywhere from the battery expanding ?

I'm trying to remain calm until I get home. I haven't gotten a light in 30+ minutes of being connected to the Sony charger, but I'm chocking that up to it not being the HTC original.

It's tough to properly gauge it with my eyes, but nothing looks off. If I press down on the center of the phone at the top, the it does not lift off the table. If that push from the center at the bottom, it does lift off ever so slightly. But I don't know if this is because of the camera location or what.
Called up Verizon just to make sure there's no other method that I didn't try, and they advised me to get a replacement. I've got a few days to try and get this thing working before I'll have to send it back and say goodbye to root.
Interestingly enough, they were sure to warn me about physical damage and being subject to a $299 charge if there is any damage. But they didn't make any mention about if the device is found to be unlocked.
Well the cooling down certainly could have been the battery finally being completely dead. Maybe stop in a Verizon store to try another battery? No chance a bad SIM card could cause this right?

Try another battery? You mean just pop off the back cover, take out the old battery and try a new one? You're one sick troll.

I did remove the SIM before doing some of the steps as there were reports that a missing one will cause the phone to pop into recovery. I really hope I can get this one back to life so I don't have to wait for an S-Off exploit to root again.
Got home, plugged it in for several hours, no light. Looks to be quite dead.
Really sorry to hear this man.
I would keep it off 12-24 hours.
try it out.
also I have sent back MANY HTC Dev unlocked phones, they just flash the new software re-setting it back to S-ON, and stock. I don't think they really give a ****, esp if it's not an issue from say, S-OFF.
That's a pisser. My One has been rock solid. Sounds like a really weird issue. I doubt it's recoverable. I'd just go for the replacement. Generally even if it's unlocked they won't have any issue replacing it. In fact, here is Australia, retailers aren't allowed tor efuse warranty claims even if the device has been unlocked, rooted etc...
Perhaps put it into a bag and into the freezer for a few hours. That can sometimes resolve battery issues.
Did I read it correct that you were not able to go into the bootloader? (full Power off > vol down + power)?
If that's the case then you should head for a replacement.. if it is dead they probably wont be able to fire it up to check if its locked or not anyway

Very good point, and by the time they do, the guys at the repair center can't physically go and find every rooted phone, then bring it to corporates attention, they get the phones, reflash the software fix the problems listed and out goes another returd. I mean refub, sorry.
My phone won't boot unless it is plugged in via wall charger.
If I got it to boot while charging, it instantly turns off when I unplug it even with battery at 100%.
I am able turn to go into hboot mode(power + volume down), even when it is unplugged. But it dies if I access recovery. I am able to perform "show image crc" function.
The problem started while I was using the camera and it just turned off by itself.
I was on SROM at the time when the problem started.
I managed to change ROM to SD, and even used lollipop RUU(verizon), but the problem wasn't resolved.:crying:
What do you think? Am I right to assume this is a hardware problem?

Bump. I have the same problem too. Seems to have come out of the blue for an otherwise functional phone. Can't figure it out.
I'll add that I can get into twrp and it seems to function without the charger plugged.. But otherwise, if the charger is removed, phone dies like OP.
Anyone can help?
Hey, this happened to me too while I was using the camera too! What's the linkage?
@yakultski, have you figured this out yet?
Try to flash a RUU and if you got the same it should be an hardware problem...

Did you resolve the issue. I heard it could be the battery failing, but i'm not so sure anymore, because when i run antutu benchmark my phone shuts down when using fisheye image processing or 3D, it turns off even when it's plugged in.
I suspect it's the GPU failing or something similar. That is weird since i wasn't using any intense 3D games. I'm sure this is my last HTC.

Hey Gunman84, my phone is behaving in a similar fashion as the OP. I have an AT&T phone converted to a GPE. So everything is stock in that sense. If plugged in, phone operates normally. As soon as I unplug it, a couple of seconds later it will power off. If I boot into hboot, the phone will stay on for a long time (its been an hour+ already and its still on).
I watched a youtube video showing how to replace the battery and that was pretty intimidating - haha. Where did you get your battery replacement? and how much did it cost?
thanks

Hi, it's not so intimidating . Well you just need to be careful and patient, there are lots of small resistors, connectors and so on. Check the iFixit site for proper instructions here is the link https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+%28M8%29+Teardown/23615 this is full teardown, and here is 2nd link where they focus mainly on replacing the battery https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HTC+One+M8+Battery+Replacement/41650. I'm from Slovenia, and the battery cost me 20€, which is around 25US dollars, the battery was original one. I bought it from local supplier. It took me around 2-3 hours to replace it, or something like that, that's because i wanted to be careful.

Thanks so much for the links.
The phones behavior really makes me question if its the battery. For example, it stayed on in the hboot/recovery screen for 10+ hours (without being plugged in). So the battery can definitely hold a charge.
I'm afraid to open up the phone (and potentially break it), when there is potentially something else going on (maybe a software issue). I guess if I run out of ideas, I'll have no choice but to attempt the battery replacement.
thanks again!

Well in my case i could also stay in recovery mode(TWRP) indefinitely also in bootloader mode, that's because you are not in the operating system. The graphics are not running at that point and so on, it doesn't drain that much power at that point either.. It's a different story if you try to flash a rom in aroma, at that point the phone shuts of if not plugged in. It is the battery, trust me.

For the adhesive parts of the phone. When putting it back together, did you need to reapply more adhesive?
Thanks

Nope, no additional adhesive was needed in my case. I used the hair dryer to soften the original adhesive. The speaker grills were difficult to remove as they are glued quite well, but eventually they came off. The toughest part was separating the back casing, as you do need quite a few prying picks or guitar picks.
Just be careful with the motherboard, slowly remove the tape that covers the connectors, you don't want to rip apart any flat cables. And don't throw away that tape, you will need it.

Well if yours symptoms are the same as clemdaddy has, then yes. Sorry, but at least now you know what the problem is.
Got the new battery today and performed the phone surgery. All the connections looked good. Pieced it all back together and everything works BUT the new battery won't charge. The phone is running off the battery, so the connections I made must be correct. Running off the battery the phone no longer exhibits the symptoms I described above (so this most likely confirms my previous battery was the culprit). I tried the hold all buttons for 2 minutes to re-calibrate the new battery. All that did was made the phone now display a full battery (instead of the empty battery it initially showed).
On the weekend I'll open it up again and see if I missed something.
Got the replacement battery. Re-opened up the phone. This time I over heated the upper and lower panels which caused them both to warp a bit, and one of them to have its paint bubble :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
I replaced the new defective battery with the most recent one. Put the phone back together and it is back to normal again! Also probably because of the over heating, there is now a little bit of a rainbow effect on the lower part of the LCD screen!
A real pity the first battery was defective, causing me to have to re-open it and carelessly overheat it. Otherwise the 1st attempt would have been a flawless repair!
With the warped panels, the bubbling paint and now the rainbow effect on the screen, I wonder how long I'll keep the phone. These little things are definitely bugging me... If I get rid of it, I'll really miss my google edition htc one m8! Nothing like a nexus like experience with a remove-able microSD card. Such a thing no longer exists
