[Q] HTC One X power up issues - HTC One X

I have an HTC One X and I was using the phone today as the battery was reaching 1%, the phone began to get extremely hot, and just before the phone powered itself off, the screen flashed white and then died. Upon plugging the phone into the wall charger, a red light flashed once and then turned off, The phone does not power on at all and i cannot access the bootloader options. The phone is unrooted and the bootloader is locked. I have tried plugging the phone into a computer and it does not pick it up at all. What so you recommend I try? I am also afraid to take the phone into my service provider as I have some very important data which I wish to retrieve.
Thanks in advance for any help, all help is appreciated

Leave it on the wallcharger over night. Not coming back to life after that it's warranty repair. Nothing else you can do really......

If your phone is stock and never been unlocked via HTCdev then all i can recommend is sending it back to HTC before you warranty runs out. Sounds like a hardware fault to me. Let your phone cool down then boot it back up and try copy your data to your computer.

Bricked? Help?

I Really didnt even do anything. flashed cm7.0.2 few days ago
with pershoot kernel
been running fine. never overclocked etc.
just few hours ago my phone kept freezing and when i turn it back on it would show black screen, pulled battery rebooted and froze in bootscreen.
wiped dalvik cache wiped cache rebooted been working fine then froze again
same thing happened
repeated the process then forze again so i thought i would wiped the whole thing so did factory reset and it showed something like E:cant mount/recovery/cache or w/e
(i used gmethod to rooted the device.)
....i flashed miui on top of it then flashed kernel and those error popped up again
....i was scraed rebooted...htc logo
for like 10 min...pulled out the battery....now my phone wont turn on... any ideas?
i know the phone is done for real. when i plug into charger nothing comes up
when i turn it on nothing comes up
when i turn it on to hboot nothing comes up
does anyone know where i can get a new motherboard?
i voided the warranty by doing the spring mod
or new screws with void stickers.
It's possible the battery is having problems, i doubt it though, it seems as though youve hard bricked your phone.
does anyone know where i can get the motherboard or better
OEM htc g2 screws with void stickers?

By the looks of things, any number of factors could be contributing to your Desires errors. However, it does seem like you've messed up the partitioning on the Desire Z internal memory and its giving you errors for it.
Try these steps.
1. Take the battery out and plug in your charger.
If the light doesnt come up try plugging your USB cable into your PC to charge.
If the light still doesn't come up your Desire Z is gone.
However, if the light does eventually come on, go to 2.
2. If any light comes up, then try turning it on.
If the screen turns on and you see ANYTHING besides black thats GOOD. go to 3
If the screen doesn't turn on there may be a motherboard issue.
3. Now if you can get it to turn on and not show black you should try this:
3a. Plug it into your PC then from there hold VOL DOWN and then navigate your way to Fastboot. It should say FASTBOOT USB or something like that.
3b. Flash a stable ROM onto your phone via your PC by going into recovery, mounting as storage then copying a ROM over. Then just flash the ROM onto your Desire Z and it should be fine.
If all this fails you should send it to a repair shop. There's no way you would get warranty to fix it at this point.
so ok i managed to get mini usb cable
When i conntected my phone to charger last night the orange battery light came on.
but nothing else.
when i clicked voulme down button then connected it to my computer it vibrated 5 times then green light came on.
And on my computer it showed up as Qualcom CDMA technologies MSM.
im searching everywhere to see if i can fix it. at this point any help would be appreciated.
I did notice that even though the phone wasnt turning on the phone was getting hot? (it wasnt connected to the charger obviously.)
when i did battery pull and leave it out it cools down. when i put it back in and turn it back on it gets hot after a while even though the screen and everything does not turn on.
Do this:
Pop out the battery and leave it for maybe 1 minute.
Then put the battery back in and see if the phone gets hot. If the phone does get hot skip passed 3 and 4.
Now assuming the phone doesn't get hot, plug it into your charger for about 5 minutes before turning the phone on. Try and get into Fastboot/Bootloader.
Once in your bootloader, just navigate your way to recovery and flash a new rom.
If the phone/battery gets hot it means its turned itself on as soon as the battery has gone and the phone isn't displaying anything. You should try just plugging the phone into the charger and turning it on. See if you get anything up on the screen. If you do then just jump into recovery and flash a rom.
Otherwise, if the screen always stays black regardless of what you do, send it in for repairs.

yea it stays black no matter what i do,, but it does get hot though.
Farout.. you should really send it to a repair shop then. The reason why is because you can't do anything to the device without the screen on. You can try and hope for it to boot into HBOOT but you would have better luck sending it off on Warranty or to a phone repairs place.

[Q] HTC Desire won't power up

Hello.
I have a SLCD PVT3 HTC Desire
S-OFF, HBOOT 0.93 Data++, InsertCoin 1.08 stable, 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 radio
I was shooting a video with my phone, battery was about 40% when I started, I recorded maybe 5minutes. Then suddenly phone shutdown, I try to reboot, it won't so I suspect it just ran out of battery.
I put it on charger, orange led lights up and I go for a cigarette. Come back 10minutes after and I try to power on, it won't, orange led disappears and nothing happens.
I remove battery, try to boot=no work.
I remove battery, plug in ac charger, phone flashes green and orange led one after another and when I try to power on it won't.
I remove the charger cord and put battery back, try to power it, no work.
I plug in charger cord, orange led comes, I try to power it on, led disappears and phone will not boot.
Then I take charger cord off and remove battery and put battery back, and charger cord back, orange led comes.
I leave it there since it looks like it's charging, an hour or 1½ I come back and there is green led and I try to power on but to no avail.
vol down+power and back+power doesn't work.
So I can't get to fastboot/bootloader/recovery/or boot the phone.
And it doesn't even vibrate when I try to power it.
Is it totally dead?? Help?
Warranty still in place?

Have you check the battery? the desire does not power up when there is no battery even when on plugged into AC. so it is possible for a faulty battery could make the phone not turn on and not charge.
Yeah, I do have warranty on this thing.
Since the phone won't even power up, is there a way the repair place is gonna find out that the phone is s-off, rooted and has custom rom on it and custom splash screen?
If I could even get the phone to fastboot I could undo all of that but blargh not even that.
Do you really think it would be the battery fault? :S
I don't have a spare battery so I can't try that.
When I connect the charger to the phone while the battery is in, the orange light comes up so it should be charging it.
I don't even have a multimeter to try and see if the battery is dead.
it is possibility that it could be the battery..or maybe even the charging circuitry on the phone. there is no way to say for sure. I am only offering a suggestion.
since you can't even get into the recovery or bootloader. this does not sound like a software issue

Only way is if your friend has desire, or you can buy my new battery, charged only once! Ha
But they probably won't even try and boot it and will probably change it.

Almost exact same thing happened to me. Desire died for no reason, and it was not the battery. HTC have no way of telling if your phone's rooted if it's dead (or I don't think so anyway), I just sent it off and they repaired it for me under warranty Good luck.
Okay, thanks for your input guys!
I'll be sending it to warranty on wednesday.
Hi all,
I have exactly the similar problem with my HTC Desire.
I do not think so it is a battery problem because when it died it has been already full powered 2 hours ago.
How long would it take to get your phone back from warranty?
Thanks and regards.

Completely forgot about this thread.
SCF Repair fixed my phone under warranty.
Yet again they replaced the mobo
I got the phone back sometime around august 25 or something like that.
Came back as PVT4 :cheers:
Also, after I had it for exactly 2weeks, put it in my pocket accidentally wrong way aka screen not against my thigh->boom slcd broken against table corner..
Shhhhhhhh.. argh.
Sat like 1hr on my ass cursing in my mind and occasionally aloud.
After that, I pulled it together D), inspected the damage and only slcd was broken the digitiser for some miracle was undamaged (huh?) ordered new slcd from uk-hitech, it arrived couple days ago.
Was about to start disassembling it, was staring at the void stickers for few seconds-> bah screw it and screeech scraped them off and continued. Took around 1hr10mins.
And as you can see:

Hi i have the same problem, i was listening to music when suddenly the phone froze i gave it a minuet to settle but no response, so i pulled the battery and pressed power and it turned on. it got stuck on the htc screen and was stuck their for good 5 minuets, so i pulled the battery again(intending to hard reset from clock work) but this time the phone does not power on at all! only orange led comes when i plug the phone on charge if i press power button the led goes off but the phone does not seem to come on at all. this happened to me when i was abroad few weeks ago, the odd thing was when it happened first time around i left it for like an hour and it turned on like nothing ever happened and worked since untill today. its been good 4 hours since it died =[. its still under warranty but its been s-off will HTC still repair it? did you find out what they repaired on your one ? incase HTC dont repair i can get third party store to repair it but id like to know what the cause is? and by the way the mother board was replaced by HTC before(it died after 2 days when i first bought it, this is the second mother board)

any way to charge a phone once completely dead

any way to charge a phone once completely dead
as the title states, once in the bootloop issue if your battery ends up at 0% and can't be charged is there a way out of this. Here is my issue. I can't get into recovery. Hboot or fastboot are the only options available. Sometimes it boots into the ROM but instantly dies once restarting. No clue as to the trigger as I've tried pretty much all the combinations of factory reset, reboot-bootloader, erase cache etc etc etc trying to get this into a non on mode so it can charge.
In addition to this of course anytime I plug the phone in it automatically turns on in either bootloader or fastboot which gives it no opportunity to charge at all otherwise I would simply run the RUU which won't let me until it hits 30%. I've more or less come to the conclusion I have to send it in because its not quite the same situation that others have experienced. But was hoping to get an answer/fix so I don't have to send it in to HTC to get repaired since the RMA guys just told me it'll be 10 business days before they even get in parts to the texas facility to get it sent there for repairs.
also of note, I had managed to relock the bootloader but can't get enough juice to run the RUU
What about borrowing a battery or getting one and charging it. That would be better than sending it in.

With the current recovery. The phone can't charge while off. You can't let it die

yeah so far I've tried literally everything out there. I almost need a way to figure out how to wipe the rom so it can't restart and sit on the loading screen so it can charge, but so far no luck with anything in the forum. I've literally tried it all.
Could be worse, my replacement comes today (but cost the same sadly, looks like the gf will get a new one when I can send it out to htc for repairs and get it back)
So, when you plug the charger in, the phone starts up into hboot or something? And can you not press and hold power for 10 secs to force it to power off while still plugged in? My phone was charging while it was completely off. That's after I discharged it completely, it shut itself off.
any time I plug it in it automatically turns back on. If I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it simply reboots.

By either plugging in every time it stops charging or rebooting it like that you should be able to gradually charge it over 30%, that's what I heard. So it's not as easy as plug in and wait, but rather plug in, unplug, plug back in.
I have this same issue. Arent their any recoveries that charge while in recovery mode??
Yes.. The stock recovery. You need to flash that.
again, can't flash diddly because of low battery. So flashing stock recovery does nothing as it would end in an error.
Very possible solution! Worked for me!
It seems my reply via the XDA-App did not come through.. As I wanted to reply.
My H0X was also dead. Wouldn't charge nor boot, with wall charger or by pc.. but I thought.. well let's give it a chance by using my iPhone 4 charger (with HTC cable of course)
Guess what: It worked!
SO TO ALL WHO IS HAVING THIS 'WILL NOT CHARGE' PROBLEM:
Try an other charger, even try your wireless mouse, or other phone chargers.. Anything!

you don't think something silly like this idea has been done? When the phone is plugged into any outside source of charge, it turns on in bootloader. This does not charge it...
Get into fastboot and try charge ..same happened to me when I tried to install Mike's Rom. So what I ended up doing was after trying a millions things to get a little charge so I could flash stock recovery and relock bootloader. I turn phone off. Plug charge for 2 seconds unplug. Plug again unplug. Big pain in the ass. Don't let charger to long cause it boots phone againg. So usually u see led turn on then few seconds later it goes off that's when u have to unplug charger. Do that again a few times. Enough to get a little charge again to flash stock recover. Once u flash stock recover phone charges normally. You also need the correct RUU for ur phone. That's after flashing stock recovery then relock bootloader then flash ruu. Then u can try again a custom Rom or whatever u were doing

I faced your situation once
get into the bootloader and flash back the official recovery

[Q] Phone's dead, won't turn on. Anyone know a fix?

My phone was unlocked, running a version of Insert Coin and with CWM recovery. It suddenly froze while using the Chrome browser, and after what seemed like quite a long time the phone restarted as I thought it would, but it was in a boot loop for some reason. I managed to get it into the bootloader, everything appearing normal still displaying it as unlocked, and I tried getting in to CWM but it froze on the HTC screen. I knew my phone was low on battery, so i tried getting it back to bootloader to turn it off. The bootloader then showed my phone as being Locked, with a warning saying the phone was too low on battery to flash anything. At this point i quickly turned it off to try save battery as it didn't seem to be charging. I had it plugged in, but the red LED wasn't lighting up. I tried turning it on but then it died while loading, so I presume the battery went.
So now it's plugged in, no red light showing so I presume its not charging, my PC won't detect it and it won't turn on or show any signs of life. I think if I can get the battery to charge at all I can fix it. I know it looks like it's gone for good, but I wanted to see if anyone could help. Any help is appreciated.
Plug into Wall charger and leave it For at least 3 hours, but make sure it is Powered off. The pc does provide enough power in this situation

I know for sure I unlocked it, but for some reason when my bootloader was saying I had low battery it said it was LOCKED again, but 2 minutes earlier it said it was UNLOCKED. Is it even possible to relock the bootloader without it showing RELOCKED without S-OFF?

Warranty isn't void if its relocked ..it depends if the damage is due to yourself or its from the phone itself...just sent to them and say or wrote on a paper what's wrong and yes...so that it isn't due to yourself

It isn't even showing the red dot while charging ? ...maybe just battery died......

Nexus 5X won't turn on, bootloop when charging

So yesterday I was trying to make a phone call and the phone went dead. I tried turning it back on but to no avail. When connected to a charger, it just shows the battery for a while and then it disappears and reboots to showing it again only to reboot itself again. Needless to say, I am stuck with a bricked phone. I managed to get it up and running by flashing the stock rom but after update to Android 7.0 the problem came back after like 10 hours. Now I can't even get into bootloader without the phone being connected to a charger, which is a problem because I can't flash anything through charger obviously. Connecting the phone through USB does not work, the phone stays dead like it is out of juice. With that being said I think it might be a faulty bootloader. The power button is fine, so I think we can count this option out. Any other ideas? I am considering taking the phone to the shop where I bought it as it is still under warranty but because it is not Google they might refuse to replace it with a new one or repair it. Is there anything I can do?
EDIT: I sent it to LG.
