Hi guys,
My HTC One X shut off yesterday mysteriously and won't turn on, there is also no red light when plugged into a charger, the phone just seems to be dead. I have tried to hold the volume down button and the power button for up to two minutes and nothing happens to reset it! Please help if you can, thanks in advance!
try with some other a/c adapter, or just other usb cable.
I tired changing adapters and the cable but no luck.

Same query...I got my new HTC one x a day before (from grey mkt). Day 1, it was running smoothly...after installing few apps from play store, next day it went dead....now nothing seems to be happening with this new dead brick. No charging, no display.. nothing.....guys pls help
This seems to be all too common and I wonder why HTC hasn't had some sort of recall issued for this? I must say though that I called htc today and they were very pleasant to deal with, I am shipping the phone off to them tomorrow for repairs and will report back on how it goes.
Did u undervolt or tried any type of modifications to systems

Hi everyone, I need help with my new HOX.
I have just purchased it. After playing with it for about 10 mins, the phone turns itself off without any warning. Then I cannot power it on.
I thought it was because the phone was simply running out of battery, I plug it to the wall charger for about 15mins, however no LED was turning on.
I was so worry, any advice would be very appreciated.
I have done nothing to the phone like installing new rom. I have just set up HTC account / Dropbox account / Google accounts and messing with the HTC Skins for a while.
Thanks in advance.
Please...anyone, help me please. I have left it charging for 3h+ and it is still a dead handsome phone

I've heard this happen to three people. They all owned white ones made in taiwan. Is yours white?
The 3 guys returned theirs and got a new one straight off that worked. I suggest you do the same.
Well, I ordered my HOX from an ebay seller named rose528400. My one is made in Taiwan and it is a black version. Atm, I have contacted the seller and arrange for a return. Waiting for his reply and I hope I could exchange a new working HOX. Love the phone at the first sight and this problem is SOOOO Frustrating!
my wife just got her htc one x today. opened it up, turned it on.....phone turned off while she was putting in her account details. when turned back on its stuck on the boot screen and saying its for developers only. any way to fix this? when plugged in theres no charging light or anything. please help
anyone? really wanna know if i'll need a replacement before i've even got to use it
Press and hold the power button and volume button till you get to the hboot screen. Tell me what it says there, either 'locked,' 'relocked,' or 'unlocked.' And whether it says S OFF or S ON below it. Tell me this and I'll tell you how to fix it

When there is a saying for developers only in red color, it means that One X is not a brand new, someone already unlock the bootloader and flash an old version of CWM on it. It is best to get a replacement if you meant to buy a brand new device.
And it get stuck on boot screen due to low battery.

Or, it could be that the person relocked the bootloader while on a custom ROM. But like the OP said, it randomly rebooted, WHILE it was being used. @OP, try running an RUU after checking if the bootloader is locked/relocked

Is it brand new?

sorry for late replies guys. yes to confirm it was brand new, just out of the box for a minute, bought from dial a phone in the uk which is a big retailer. it came sim free as most of their phones do. Simply opened the box, turned on and it turned off during the input of details, ie our wifi password to be exact.
After that came the red writing with developers only, now nothing. been on the charge all day, still no charging light. tried the wall socket, tried via usb to 2 pc's, and the volume/power thing doesn't work either. how long should we need to hold it to do that?

Hold volume down and power for about 10-15 secs.

Hold power and volume down for a while, phone will boot into bootloader, what does it say exactly?
Sounds like you may have got a test device by accident, not necessarily a bad thing if you plan to custom rom?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
tried it guys for 15 secs at least with no joy. seems to be dead. no charging light. seems quite a few people have seen the red writing. not into custom roms really as it'll be for my wife and she likes stock.

Oh, so its not booting into bootloader because batterys dead xD
Power the phone off, plug it into a wall charger, and leave it for atleast a few hours, it'll charge, and then boot it into bootloader and tell us what it says

Pretty sure my options are just send it in for repair at this stage, but just incase i thought i'd make a topic anyways. I wasn't trying to hack it or anything infact i recently unrooted the damn thing...about 3-4 weeks ago, in hopes id recieve the JB OTA. Either way the screen suddenly stopped working today but it'll still reset if i held the button down and charge when plugged. then all of a sudden it vibrated, wouldn't even restart anymore, and the phones not even charging. i tried different cables and my friends HTC One X charger too incase it was the cahrger (doubt it since the phone had 80% battery before the screen turned off anyways but whatever) and still nothing. Im guessing its dead somehow, and hopefully can get it repaired free, but has anyone else heard of anything like this and if so is there an easier fix than sending it to HTC?
Nothing anyone can do if it won't turn on. Hardware problem maybe.

No,I can't..it still be dead
try a different battery if u can, if that dont work then its probably dead. Same happened to mine, my phone was charging and i dropped it then it never turned back on (it didnt brake from dropping it, overheated while charging)
i'll try the original one..'cause i bought a while ago a mugen power battery bigger than the stock one....but the mess is that i haven't done anything to the phone..it simply "suicided" himself!that's weird!

Your motherboard might be roasted.
I actually just came to make a thread, about the exact same problem I cant turn my desire on charging doesn't respond tried a new battery at a store. Prior to this happening I was at a beach and my phone took a dip for 10 seconds, phone never stopped working the led light was red from there on worked for at least a month or so after before this.
I was thinking it was connected to that but maybe not, I was wondering if maybe the phone some how bricked. It's a silly question but I shall ask any ways is there any possibility of restoring stock ruu via the computer? I'm no expert on that guess the phone wouldn't be detected tho.
The only thing I can make the phone do is occasionally when holding the power down the phones gets stuck vibrating till I pull the battery.

You can't flash a RUU without the phone booting in hboot.
Oh well thanks, I wonder how common it is for phones to just die. My general thinking was so long as I didn't drop it or the beach lol it would last ages which it did, previously had a iphone 3g which apples updates killed the wifi then the battery died, now I'm torn between the LG Optimus 4X HD or a Ipod Touch 5th gen, actually this seems really good value for money BWC Thunderbolt Dual SIM which is available on mobicity.c0m.a-u It's kinda like dunno Chinese generic brand running Jellybean 4.1.2 only reason I probably wouldn't buy it probably wouldn't ever be rooted or updated by manufacturer otherwise I would get it

You wanna buy an iPod????????? Seriously?????????????
Well I'm not all to caught up in the one or the other boat all seem to get aboard on, I already brought a new phone average. I was looking to buy a ipod bare amount I was willing to spend just for getting on the net when out music games reading then figured 4.7 inch to 5 inch screens would be better for reading, and there's only one or two other options in that price range. Dunno if I will or wont now but I was recently looking at ubuntu for phones which may be out end of year or next year, seems interesting going to have to wait to see how that unfolds

u know when u have it plugged into ur computer and the LED is on, then u press the power button, does it vibrate? if ur phone is off and its charging, the LED will be on and if u boot into bootloader (with the phone still plugged in) the LED turns off. so maybe ur screen is damaged and u cant see that its on. u get me?? lol. check if ur computer recognizes ur phone once uv pressed the power button
Nothing happens..the computer does not recognise the phone......ok so..someone have a nexus 4 to sell?

Help pls
I have a HTC Desire A8181 ,
I have rooted it with revolutionary and superuser , and i have instaled the 4ext app on the phone , then i went into recovery mode and said to wipe all partitions (not the sd card) because 4 ext could not acces the system partition , but my sd with the backup was already formated becouse i tryed to partition the sd card in the hope of making more space , and now i can´t pass hboot or 4ext recovery , i can´t acces my HTC , please help
i'm so frustrated right now.
i've got this phone yesterday , this is not a brand new product.
It was running ICS from beginning, after that i tried to firgure out how to upgrade to JB, and finally i've choosed OTA update because it was safe until.......
It was good on first time upgrading, until the second (more than 100mb upgrade pack) then boot loop all time. I didn't know why it was happen, but i reminded that in my one x storage also have a .zip file name viper_something.zip , so it make me relate to the viper custome rom on the forum that i've seen last nite.
So maybe the problem was that i've tried use OTA upgrade on the custome ROM that i didn't know , and that was more terrible when my phone was out of batterry, it can't charge althought i've tried something before it was out.
i was tried to fastboot erase cache when my phone just had little energy,erase cache process was complete but nothing change.
I also went to fastboot and choose power down my phone, then pluge charge (follow by a member on the forum) , and after one nite charging, it was do nothing.
Now my phone just have blink red light and seem like it won't be charge.
So what should i do next ? i also tried to firgure out the similar problem on the forum but i can't firgured out. Have any idea for the solution. I can't believe my phone was dead after one day used.
If you're charging the phone on VERY LOW battery, the red light will blink. After some time it becomes stable.

Is your charger plugged into an outlet or computer?? When charging your phone from a dead or soon to be dead state, always use a physical outlet. Like the other post mentioned if battery is fully dead or very low red LED light will flash for awhile with my past experience.
