Hello again XDA!
Firstly i understand that there have been many posts like this one (a seemingly common problem) but none of them have experienced the computer specific problems that i am experiencing,
My phone- HTC ONE, Rooted, cyanogen mod, 3 months old.
The other night i was drinking with some friends and i let my htc one die completely. My phone had, recently, been behaving strangely with regards to charging, as in not charging/taking hours to do so. After my phone died it refused to turn on again. Pure blankness.
I have tried various methods suggested here and around the net from various volume and power combinations to proximity sensor tricks. None of which have worked.
Adb does not detect my phone when connected. Normally at this stage i would give up and set about getting a replacement however something has deterred me. Whenever i plug my phone into my macbook or windows xp machine a message saying that 'USB devices have been disabled as one is drawing too much power' pops up.
This gives me hope as it proves that my htc one is still drawing juice and therefore not a complete paperweight! Anyway guys any help is appreciated as i am a college student on break and being at home is really hard without being able to keep in touch with my friends. I will, at this stage, try anything. Thanks!
You have the one or one x? If the one go to the one's forum xD

I'm having the same problem. I have the HTC One with Cyanogenmod as well.
Then stop posting here and get to the ONE forum ..... This is the HTC ONE X !

Hi guys,
A friend of mine bought his HTC One X a couple of months ago and hasn't done anything to it, it's completely stock.
A couple of nights ago he said he was in the browser, all of a sudden the phone rebooted, loaded back up to the homescreen and then powered off.
Since then he hasn't been able to get it to boot or charge, and has now given it to me to try and fix.
It's been on charge overnight for around 9 hours and there is still no response in terms of leds flashing ect.
I've had a search and the issue has been seen before but not often.
Is there anything you would suggest trying? What would HTC do if this device was sent back, ie is there a 'download mode' for the One X or something similar, that HTC would force the device to boot into?
Thanks!
Should be under warranty if it rooted shouldn't it?

Absolutely right! However HTC have told him it'll take 3+ weeks to get back to him and he's wanting me to try and fix it without going through them..
Bump - Any suggestions?
Have you tried reading this : Wiki
Or maybe this : Disaster recovery
I'm not sure if they'll be useful in your case but you never now.

Anything you will do requires the phone to be unlocked with a custom recovery installed. This procedure is irreversible since the current LOCKED status will change at best to RELOCKED which will cause you a lot of headache later with HTC support. My advice send it to support without touching it.

Hi, I am in a very tight spot and very high strunge right now. My brand spanking new HTC One X(I got it in the mail 3 days ago) appears to have bricked itself. It is completely stock, never rooted, and the only two apps I had on it were apex launcher and widget locker. The other night I decided since I'd been able to play with it for a bit I'd go ahead and update the software(it had an update available out of the book). OMFG. Everything was fine till I hit install and even then it looked fine until the install was complete and it went to reboot. This thing got stuck in the most vicous boot loop I've ever seen. It just got stuck rebooting over and over for right four hours before I was able to shut it down. It got so hot I couldn't hold it. I was worried I was going to get to watch my brand new $600 dollar phone melt before my eyes. Anyway I finally got it to turn off, either be it do to low battery or instability caused from excess heat and today when I tried to turn it for the first time came on but it just got stuck on the first screen didn't even make it to the boot animation. I held the power and luckily it shut off. I tried again and it won't even turn on now. I really need some help guys... This is my only phone. I had to dig out my old iTouch and use wifi to just get on xda. What should I do about this!? I'm so stressed right now... Please... Please... Help...
3 day old brand new phone?
Return it.
Either get your money back or get it replaced.
Why are you stressed? Stuff breaks, be glad it was in the first 3 days!
I wish I would have more knowledge to help you out.
Shut the phone down by holding power for 10 seconds. Then start it with Vol down and power. Let's see first what you get.

Help, help, help, help... Got it to come back on by plugging it into my charger for a bit it went into the same exact boot loop that you can't shut down in. Lucky the battery died quickly this time it didn't have time to get hot, but good god this needs to get fixed ASAP and I don't have any idea what to do. I'm actually in a hospital right now and will be here for awhile it looks like, so needless to say I can't use my pc or probably would have figured it out on my own already instead of begging for help.
I guess you did update with low battery... Did you try what I wrote before? Volume down and power at the same time when you plug in usb.

Dude. Just send it back.

I didn't try it with a low battery... It was 70% when i started the update. The update was completed in 15 min without interuption. The bootloop started the second the update finished. the bootloop went on for 4 hours before it would even shut down and I held the power button for more then ten seconds some time and when it would shut down it immediately turned back on on it's own. When I tried turning it on today I intentially didn't charge it long just for the reason. And I haven't tried the power and volume yet(I can't reach the out let to plug in in, as I'm attached to an IV) me getting sick and this phone dying the first night at the hospital couldn't have happened at a worse time.

I can't I am in the hospital... Two days after getting my new phone my sore throat turned into mono so bad I can't drink water even. I'm on an IV and can't even reach the nearest out let let alone get to a computer and then ship this phone back. It's the only line of communication I had in here. Lucky I convinced my mom who was visiting me to drive home and get my old iPod. That's all I have right now.
But you can put it in charger before right? Put it in and then try Vol down and power at the same time.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
I had my mom plug in/turn on for me. I can't have her try the down vol and power(shes very tec illiterate and strugged just to turn it on. I had to plug it in for her and then she walked the whole charger over to the outlet and help it out so i could see what it was doing)as I can't see what's on the screen very well from 10 feet or so it wouldntbe worth trying to get her to try the key combo. Hopefully I can get a family member to bring me a short extension cord but until then I can't try it. What is the idea with what that's supposed to do? Does it by bass fast boot or completely resent the phone or?
Well I thought we could get in bootloader mode to factory reset the phone. Maybe it should work then. I can't think of another step. Not being such a pro on this sorry mate.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
Thanks just the same... I'm going to try the key combo before the night is through as I have an extension cord on the way. If I can do a factory reset I'm guessing I'll need to re enter my APN setting yes? This is such an inconvient timing of events. I'm gonna need someone to run home and get my notes for the proper apn for my network since this is an international phone I'm using in the us.
Can't you find the apn in the net? Let's hope we can get your phone work first then we'll see about apn.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
This doesn't look real promising... I got the cord, started it to the boot loader and eyerything is locked/disabled. Why would this thing have a locked boot loader when it's the unlocked international version?
And for the past 15 min it's said checking SD card update at the bottom of the boot loader menu. I'd say I either got a corrupted file or it something else went wrong during the down load that wasn't evident because it looked like that part went fine when I did the update.
You're on stock that's why it's shown locked and the checking sd thing... Are you in fastboot usb? Should be underlined in red
If there is fastboot usb written in red do following. Plug of the charger press power one time move down to factory reset and power again. Let's see what's happening.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
It didn't show any alternative boot options. Then I unplugged the charger and it showed up. I went down and I used the factory reset. It's working now except I need to re due my apn, i lost all my contacts, and Ill need to re download/set up apex along with widget locker.
At least it's working now. I guess you saved your contacts on gmail so this won't be a problem either. Apn search the net. Apex you have to do again yea.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
glad its fixed! apn settings should be avaiable from google, gmail should automatically load your contacts. enjoy your 1x and get well soon
Ya except I didn't synce my contacts with gmail. Like I said I just bout this phone and I transferred my old contacts via blue tooth so I'll need to do that again. I dont mind doing apex and wig locker again but retyping the apn will not be fun. Thank you though for your help. I really appreciate it. You don't have any guesses as to why it went into that boot loop do you or how I can avoid it happening again? I rather like to have up to date software so that's gonna be a problem if it does that again. How about my CPU and battery? Do you think they're damaged after how hot it got in that boot loop and for how long?
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.

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

What is undervolt? Do you mean use a different charger?
No I haven't done any modifications to the system.
I recently had the BSoD on my One x (rooted and flashed with custom rom) I could not boot into bootloader, see the screen when turned on etc due to a constant black screen.
I decided, what the hell, lets try for a repair at HTC, the worst that would happen is they would charge me for the repairs.
Well... To cut a long story short (after waiting 3 1/2 weeks for my phone to come back).... HTC sent me a HTC One! :laugh:
Just wondering if anyone else has had this instance or if it was an error on HTC's behalf?
Thanks for reading!

Nothing really, Just general day to day usage of the phone, maybe an hour of gaming, social networking, Gmails etc.. Stated getting graphical glitches about a week before the phone's screen went completely off, but never thought anything of it.
They probably couldn't fix it and were out of One X's so they just sent what they had.
Or maybe it was just a mistake ( someone forgot to add the "X" on some paper )
i know one guy who lives just 20 km from my home and he said he also has to send the phone in ...got back also one...because his hox had also problems with apx like mine...i have to wait till next week or so...my phone couldn't be fixed too...my whole system/mainboard is ****ed up...i will see if i get a new mainboard or even new hox...or if i have luck the htc one
