My brother has a HTC One X (still not unlock bootloader and root)
yesterday, when he upgraded GO lock screen, the phone freezed and crash. I don't know exactly what was he doing but as he said, he turn on the phone by pressing power + vol+ buttons. And chose something which he didn't know what is this lol
and then, the phone completely off. I tried to press power button or power + vol+ many times but the screen didn't show up anything
I connected it to my PC but PC didn't recognize phone, and of course, it can't be charged too
Anybody can help his HOX please
I don't know what to do now T.T
how old is this phone if it still under warenty i would send it back to either if its contract and covered to them or take it back to the shop you got it from because it sounds like a full on brick to me.
connect it to the charger for ATLEAST 1 hour then try again. there are no options in the bootloader which brick the phone

yep, i agree... you should charge your phone and you will see you red led blinking... let it charge and that will do the trick
Then plug it to your PC's USB,if your PC can see it's presence and install drivers then it's not bricked.
Most probably your bro did a master reset from the bootloader menu and the battery was weak,if the phone doesn't boot after recharging then hold down power + volume to access bootloader menu and reset again this time with good battery

I had this the other day and I plugged my USB cable into the PC and the notification light went red and then I opened terminal and typed in adb reboot and the phone rebooted hope it helps
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
before having the problem, his phone was at full charge
and as i mentioned above, connect to PC, charge ... the phone didn't show anything
Hold down the power button for 10 sec to do a ''battery removal'' simulation.
Also did yout try to enter bootloader menu holding power + volume(phone off)?

He sent it to warranty center yesterday
They said that the phone was damaged some cables ...
So, i tried to repartition my Xperia S and all went well i installed a rom and gapps, and after i rebooted the phone went off and it doesn't turn on anymore, i tried charging it but after 12 hours of charging the red led is on again, there are no vibrations i can't power it on, can't do a hard reset (holding power button and volume up key) also can't connect to PC, when I connect it via USB the red led goes on again, i tried to connect it in fastboot/flashboot but it's the same thing again the red led goes on like it's charging
PLS HELP. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO BRING BACK TO LIFE MY XPERIA S?
Seems like no. You may try to manually remove battery and let it a bit rest for 15-20 min but I'm not sure if it helps. Have you held your power+volume up\down buttons long enough?

UPDATE: when the phone is connected to the PC via USB, after holding power button + volume up + volume down button the sony logo comes on, and the led goes off .. but this last for about 20 sec and the screen goes off again. I tried to go into recovery when the sony logo comes on but no luck there

Use the rubber band technique to flash the stock ROM on Your phone.
I fixed my phone finally!!!! The thing I did is i charged it 24+ hours, and than i pressed the power + volume up/down keys together, and the phone powered on and I was able to enter flashmode and flash the stock ftf and repair my phone ))))
Hello everybody,
2 days ago, my Google Pixel XL received the January patch and downloaded it. It installed the first step flawlessly, but the second phase took a lot of time (the progress bar was staying around 50% for at least 60 minutes). Since I was not watching my phone during the rest of the process, I cannot say precisely what happened, but as I wanted to look how far the progress bar is, the phone did not respond anymore.
here is a summary of the situation:
- it is the pixel XL with 128GB of memory directly bought on the Google store
- the battery was fully charged before the update began, an it was approximately around 85% as I looked at the progress bar for the last time
- the phone was not hot during or after the update
- the screen is now black and does not display anything (I have tried everything I thought about: it is definitely black and nothing happens anymore, even when plugged for charging, or when connected to a PC (the USB communication with the PC is not building up anymore))
- the phone react only when the power button is maintained pressed for several seconds: it vibrates briefly, but nothing more happens
- the phone was never rooted, there was no "unknown sources" app installed (I had Cerberus installed but have uninstalled it 2 days before the Android patch was installed), and the USB debugging is not activated
- I called the Google support and they immediately proposed to ship a replacement device (they did not ask me to do some tries)
I have tried to discharge the battery by maintaining the power-on button pressed during hours: the red led then turns on when the charger is plugged in, but the screen stays black.
If somebody has an idea of a test I could make, I would appreciate the held.
Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions.
Best regards
Vincent
Have you held power and volume down for 14 seconds?

How long have you had it plugged in? It sounds like the battery is empty.
Try to leave it on the charger for a couple of hours.
If it does not boot by pressing the power button, you can try to boot bootloader by pressing volume down and power at the same time.
The battery has been fully charged, so I am pretty sure that it is not the battery (the phone has been plugged in for more than 12 hours to recharge it).
I have also tried every button combination that I know and that I found on the web: there is nothing else than a short vibration when the power button is pressed, but no reboot and nothing is displayed.

I would try pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons until you get the short vibration. Hopefully after vibration you will be in bootloader. Then connect to a PC and try and flash-all the factory image.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, after the vibrations, I do not get anything on the screen. In my previous phones, I was used to flash ROMs and so on. I never bricked a phone. But with the Google Pixel XL, I must admit that I do not have anymore ideas how to rescue it. I have tried the following:
- holding only the power button for several seconds --> short vibrations after several seconds, but nothing else
- holding the power button and the volume down button for several seconds --> short vibrations after several seconds, but nothing else
- holding the power button and the volume up button for several seconds --> short vibrations after several seconds, but nothing else
- holding the power button and the volume down + up buttons for several seconds --> short vibrations after several seconds, but nothing else
I have made these tries with the charger plugged in, plugged out, and removed at different instants. Nothing more than just the short vibrations.

Your screen may be black, but there is a small chance your still in the bootloader. I have read that other people have recovered from a black screen. I still think its worth a try to connect to a PC and see if the factory image flashes after holding power and volume down and after vibration. Those vibrations have meaning.
Thank you, I gave it a try: the PC does not even ask to install a driver, when the phone is connected. I made several tests, exactly as it is required to flash it, but there is no communication with the PC. :crying:

I thought there might be a small chance. At least you will get a new phone. Best of luck.
I hate to tell you this but I had the same issue with a 32 GB 5 inch pixel...It was dead...Everything you have said is what happened with mine.
What happened was the slot the phone was trying to boot into had no bootloader or it was a bad flash...Either way, the slot didn't have a bootloader on it when it tried to boot and that black screen is the result...Google sent me a new one and all was well and they will do the same for you.
This is why I don't trust OTA updates...I manually flash everything and I'm sure to flash the bootloader to both slots anytime I update my phone...Good way to keep this from happening again....Best of luck man
You keep saying several seconds. You gotta hold the power and volume down for a pretty long while. Just saying.
Probably a bad boot partition though..
Thank you very much for your kind support, guys.
Your explanations is very interesting. This means that the strategy implemented for the bootloader itself is not very safe. I would be interested in knowing how such a faulty flash can happen and what are the possible reasons behind. Is there a procedure that can increase the chances for a successful flash by doing some things before the OTA update is allowed to be installed?

Believe me, I pressed the button for a very long while also (hours) by blocking the button in such a was that the phone boots up until the battery is discharged. So also such an extreme tray was made. The only consequence was the red light flashing.
Iam having similar(exactly) situation as stated by OP. Phone dead, only short vibration, no boot loader, no dshub qualcomm either detected while plugging USB to pc. Charging still ok.
update: now phone can be detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in Device Manager.

Phone is in Qualcomm Emergency Download mode. What happened? Also a bad OTA flash?
You only have two options:
Press power button for ~ 30 seconds to get out of EDL. If it's completly bricked then RMA. You're under warranty yeah?!

I did a software update recently on my Z5 Premium Dual E6833, and when I look at it later it was off! I tried to turn it on, but it was unresponsive. No signs of life at all. Its completely dead. OFF button in SIM slot does nothing, even if I hold it for more than two minutes. No charging LED light when connected to wall charger. When I plug it to my PC, it was being detected as "Unknown Device". Tried loading some ADB driver but it was not accepting it. Tried few different chargers and cables as well. Also Volume Up + Power does nothing at all, same for Volume Down + Power...
Looks like it runs out of charge when it did a software update, it was still have more than 50% when I started the software update. ..
Can anyone guide me on what to do next? I am in the middle of the desert at the moment for the next three weeks, and no access to any local service center. Thank you in advance for any advice that you might have... :crying:
i am worried since you did the volume up + power button trick!
charge your device over night , hold the volumeup+ power button for atleast 15 seconds , the device must jerk thrice! remove fingers on second jerk . the device will shutdown . at this point connect device in flashmode and flash the kernel!
Thank you for your reply, appreciate it! I have tried that trick of holding the Volume Up + Power even up to 30 seconds, but for some unknown reason, it does not vibrate at all. I have tried it on numerous occasion but the vibration was not coming at all...
Hey, new user here.
I recently came across my old dead Z2. Is there any way to revive it?
If I hold the power button for half a second, it will vibrate, show the ZUK splash logo and then turn off.
If I keep holding the power button, it'll loop (vibrate --> show logo for a few seconds --> turn off).
If I plug it into my PC through USB-C, it'll do reboot over and over, similarly.
Most un-brick methods I've read involve using the notification LED to do something, but my phone doesn't show anything on the notification LED so I've tried a few times doing stuff using power button + volume-up but that doesn't work.
Power + volume down gets me into the bootloader I think. It says 'FASTBOOTMODE' in red, SECURE BOOT enabled and DEVICE STATE - locked.
