Hi, I have a very strange issue. My One X just randomly stopped working. It started to randomly turn itself off (not the usual random reboots, it would simply stay off). It started about 2 days ago and the problem continued to appear more and more often. Today it turned itself off and didn't want to boot again. When I tried to boot it, it got to the HTC quietly brilliant screen and just turned off. The battery shouldn't be the problem because I charged it and it won't boot when it's connected to the PC either. When this problem appeared, I wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery, hoping it would fix it. After that, the phone started to turn off after spending a few seconds in recovery. Now I can't access the recovery anymore. I flashed CWM again just to be sure and it still won't boot into recovery. I also tried with fastboot erase cache and reflashing the boot.img, but no luck. I am running ICJ 3.2.1 I think (not sure about the exact version and there is no way to check it) and hboot version 1.39. S-ON, bootloader unlocked ofcourse. Booting to bootloader works and the phone stays in there without turning off. I deeply apologize if there was a similar thread to mine, but I am very, very busy because I'm writing my final exam tomorrow and I really need my phone.
EDIT: I just tried to boot it and it worked for some reason. I can't even begin to explain this problem, it is really, really weird. tried booting it a minute ago and it didn't work. I literally just wanted to enter bootloader but I guess I didn't press the volume down button hard enough and it just booted normally. It turned off again after a few seconds and now it won't boot again. When I leave it connected to the PC when it's turned off, the PC starts to make USB connect/disconnect noises quite randomly.
Why don't you try flashing the latest version of ICJ (3.4) with a full wipe and see whether the problem persists? Can you enter recovery now??
However, there's always a possibility of a hardware failure... and your situation with the random reboots / recovery reboots suggests somethings wrong!

Sounds alot like a issue I had on ICJ quite a while ago.
If you select recovery at the bootloader, do you see the recovery for a split second and after that it reboots? I did flash multiple recoveries but it all didn't help. The luck I had is that fastboot was still working
I tried everything to get it to work, but nothing seemed to help. The only luck I had was that fastboot worked, and with that I managed to flash a RUU. What actually happend I don't know, but it worked again.

Hey,
I'm worried that my phone is bricked, but would like to hear if there are some options of reviving my phone without sending it to repairs.
I was in ClockworkMod Recovery as I wanted to update my ROM from oxygen-v.2.0-RC7 to the latest version.
I had wiped all data and dalvik cache and was in the middle of installing the .zip when my battery popped out (don't ask how).
Now my phone won't boot up at all. When connected to a charger it vibrates 7 times, but the LED is not on and I cannot boot it, even when trying Power+Vol. button.
Am I screwed? Or is there a way to save it?
Nevermind! It suddenly decided to boot up into Recovery on one of my attempts and I managed to restore my old settings.
It seems it just needed some time.
Mods are welcome to delete this thread.
My One X was working perfectly on Leedroid 5.1. I downloaded 6.2, put it on the SD card, held the power button and went to reboot into recovery, but it got stuck on the HTC ONE boot screen and wouldn't go any further. I thought it was a little odd but ignored it. Then I realised I needed to flash the boot.img anyway, so I turned the phone off then booted into bootloader, fastboot, flashed the boot.img. At the end of the process the phone was sent to recovery again, but again, the same thing happened, it wouldn't go past that screen.
I figured my recovery was corrupted, so I went back into bootloader and flashed CWM touch through fastboot.
Rebooted into recovery again, exact same problem. What gives?
Furthermore, every time I turn the phone off from that screen, it turns itself back on. I finally rectified that by turning it off, then holding vol- and powering down from bootloader.
What can I do?
EDIT: RESOLVED
fastboot erase cache fixed the whole thing!
Hi, I left my Desire with low battery on night, in the morning I woke up and I realized that it is turned off - it probably discharged. I turned it on, and it turned off while booting, it didn't have enough energy to boot... So I charged it a little bit, and again booted - phone is booting, there is green HTC logo, then "HTC Quietly Brilliant" with booting sound, and then black screen and it is booting again and again... Phone have RUU 2.3 (Gingerbread), I used GoLauncherEx, and it is rooted. I can enter recovery, I tried "reboot" and "reboot bootloader" but still the same. I wasn't doing anything with Phone, everything was working, so it happened without reason? Or maybe it's because of Launcher which is loading after turning on phone? Help me, please
I don't think that it is caused by launcher, because from what you wrote, your phone doesn't even get to UI.
Firt of all, I'd try doing a nandroid backup (just for sure), then full wipe (everything...., do it 3 times, I think I have read somewhere that cwm sometimes doesn't do i properly first time). Try to reboot. If it is still the same, try to flash another rom (cm7 for example). If that doesn't help, try official not rooted RUU and it should fix the problem. (Then, ofcourse, you will have to root your phone again.)
Good luck
Well, I found something like "Clear Storage" and it helped, thanks for answer anyway
OK, I am glad it has been solved
Hey guys,
I have a Problem with my HOX. I just unlocked it via HTCDev and flashed ViperX + Kernel.
That all went well but theres one Problem. If I try to shutdown my phone it always restarts insted of shutting down.
I tried a dozen factory resets, wiped everything and re-flashed the kernel a dozen times but that doesnt change a thing.
My HOX:
CID: o2_102
Hboot: 1.39.0000
Did you tried to press and hold power button for 10 seconds? That will simulate battery-pull.
Yes I did also about 10 times now. Right now I am flashing another ROM...
EDIT:
Ok, that didnt work either. Does anyone know what to do right now?
EDIT2:
If I start the HOX with the Charger plugged in, I have no Problem shutting it down. As soon as I pull the Cable the HOX starts like I pushed the Powerbutton.
Sounds like you've done a pretty thorough job. The only other thing I could suggest would be to try the ARHD superwipe tool in the Lextermina Abster Rom thread. It seems to do a more thorough cleaning. Fist go to recovery and wipe cache/dalvic and system and then go to install and run the superwipe. Hope that works out for you, if not might be a hardware fault.
from my Viped out one x
Hell Yeah, that worked...THX a lot to you Sir!
I flashed Lextermina and the Stock Kernel did a "Superwipe" and turned it off. Till now it didnt restart once.
What I dont know is if the Kernel or the Wipe fixed it.
Ok, I have another Update. I tried flashing ViperX again and again the phone wont shutdown.
So I thought that it cant be a flashing Problem but sth. else.
After some flashing, wiping etc. I went back to Lextermina and just looked trough the whole rom.
I stopped at "Fast Boot" or "Schnellstart" in German. Other than in most roms, FastBoot was activated.
So I unchecked FastBoot and bääm...Shutdown = Restart.
After that I activated FastBoot again and voila...my HOX shuts down like it is supposed to.
My question is, what really is Fastboot and why does it affect the Shutdown-Sequence?
Is it like "Force Quiet" for all the running apps?
Hi guys
I seem to have an incredibly weird issue on my HTC. It is rooted and running DU 6.0.1.
For some reason, despite the battery being 60%+, whenever I unplug my phone from power it just switches off. If I try to reboot it/go to recovery, it starts up for a second and goes off. However, it seems to function normally when it is plugged in via usb. I can access recovery as well. I have tried to reflash as well as a full wipe, but nothing seems to work.
Im thinking something went wrong with the boot.img maybe ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe its a stupid inquiry but does battery work as it should in stock rom? so that you can be absolutely sure its not faulty battery that's creating issues.because two things happen(in my experience when something goes wrong with boot.img) either its stuck at splash screen (hboot) with red text OR it goes blank but not off, just blank
Definitely isnt the battery. I am not experiencing any drain and it functions completely normally when plugged it. When I unplug, it works fine for a few min and then switches off. It will then not turn on, despite it showing 90%+ when I plug it in
but it happens in stock rom also? thats what i wanted to know .if you can full wipe and phone works when connected to usb,maybe you can run ruu and confirm that as well . If you can go to recovery ,make a nandroid backup.and try a ruu.
Yup, happens on stock as well.
Also, I think the recovery is messed up as well since it just crashes now when trying to flash something. It's having issues doing a nanroid backup as well
And no love for exe ruu as well?
