[Q] My HTC Broke :(

Hello all!
Well last night my phone fully ran out of battery. So normally I would charge it but this time there was no red led, I thought it was normal so I left it overnight to charge but in the morning it wouldn't turn on.
I don't think its my fault so I might send it for a replacement.
Is there any other way to turn it on?
Thanks.

Try different charger.

Well I tried charging other devices and it worked. I'll try with another charger.

Have you tried holding down the power putton and volume button together to force a reset?

Same problem here.
Phone ran flat and now wont charge, the red LED does not come on.
Tried different chargers, tried via USB and tried power reset, all to no avail.

I'll give it a go, I'll try for 15 secs.

Sorry that should be hold volume down button then hold power button as well. This is the htc official hardware reset method from their website and it worked for me when my phone wouldn't turn on or charge.
Other advice from them is to hold the power button down on its own for 15 seconds.

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard

There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...

guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile

If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
Thanks

And then?
After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.
Right?

Edit: wrong section, sorry

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.

Wont turn on!

Hello!
I dropped my LGOG E975 and the screen has cracked. The upper half would still work. But i could not turn the phone off. So i let the battery run dry. When i came back from vacation, approx. a month after, i sent it in to change the screen. It got changed, but now it has another problem:
It wont turn on! At the store they said they could not get the phone to boot. I took it to a charger and while holding the volumebuttons it showed the LG logo for a second, then blinked red a couple of times. This happend twice. Now if i hold the power button for 15 seconds and plug it in, it will quickly blink a red light.
What to do? I suspect it's something with the software.
FIY i unlocket the bootloader, rooted and installed a recovery. Dont remember which one tho'.

Update:
I can now enter fastboot or download mode. But the phone wont be found by kdz. flashers.

Try to access recovery from the fastboot screen, pushing 2 times volume down then power.

The phone turn black, blink red once and thats it.

As a sidenote, i can only put it in fastboot or downloadmode after i hold the powerbutton a while before plugging it in. Else the red LED wont blink.

I have no idea then
Have you tried to put it in fastboot without plugging it in? Volume down + Power button when the phone is off.

No response from the phone. Can it be a batteryproblem since the red LED flashes shortly when plugged in and entering fastboot/download mode or trying to open the recovery?

Maybe. Leave it charging for a while and try again.
My father always lets his phone die out of battery and he leaves it off for a while like that. When trying to power it back on, or when plugging it to the charger, the led flashes just like you described. It's not an OG, but it may be something similar what's happening to you, since you said you left it for quite some time turned off.

Okay, i will try to leave it over night. It will sit in the charger for 6 hours before my next check.

Try to upgrade/recovery with LG support tool in download mode

It would still not turn on. Tried multiple chargers and leaving the phone in for a long time. I got a new battery on the way.

Sometimes it helps to hold the power button a bit longer.

I held the powerbutton down for multiple minutes. Still no response. I ordered a new battery from Ebay. Hoping this would fix the issue. The battery have a expected delivery this week. Will update the thread with the results.

Hope it works :good:

I tried everything. Really. Every possible combination of buttons, chargers and cables. The phone would only give a response when plugging it in. So i expect it to be a charging problem with the current battery.

what was the outcome with the new battery?
im an currently experiencing an issue that sounds much the same as this, difference is that i was using the teenybin software and the HS shutdown halfway through the update, and now will not do a thing other than blink the RED LED when i hold the power button down whilst pugged into charger
also to mention, the battery life on the HS prior to this was reasonable..

[Q] HTC One X Discharged and Now Won't Charge At All

Hi, I have a One X which discharged to nothing on Saturday night/Sunday morning as I was in hospital and my wife was using it to call people.
I had a similar problem in June, once dead it won't take any charge, it won't power up normally and it won't boot up either with the volume down being pressed at the same time.
Nothing lights or flashes.
In June I sent it to O2 and it came back fixed, but I've had a conversation today to say the warranty is voided as I've rooted it.
They are saying that it needs a new main board as it is rooted. I kept explaining that I don't need a new board, just some charge to be put into the battery.
I do think that I've tried everything this time, and last, to get the phone started again without sending it away, but I'd appreciate advice on getting it up and running and how best to deal with O2, what arguments to use etc.
Many thanks

Try plugging it in to the charger and pressing the power button quickly 3 times. Keep trying that until it powers on and then charge as usual.

Just Plug it in With Official HTC Cable In A New PC which has USB 2 or greater port. Eventually after sometime you will c blinking red light. Once you get blinking red light pull out and plug it back in again after some time red led will become stable. at this point turn on the phone.
Once the OS loads again repeat Plug out Plug In USB Cable. It should now charge. If it stops charging repeat Plug out Plug again. Hope this helps.
I am doing this now and i have reached 12%. Hope this helps you

I'm now trying leaving it plugged into my PC.
Any idea how long before this might show a red light?
Also, is this any different to leaving it plugged into a power lead?

Actually it should show the blinking red light after 20 appx minutes after charging. Then after few minutes it should get stable, and then you can powerup the device.

Repair needed?

Ok, having taken it to a repairer I was told there was nothing wrong with the battery, charging unit etc, it was a complicated matter that they couldn't sort out.
Does anybody know of a reputable repairer who may be able to take a look please?
Many thanks.

HTC M8 Doesn't Boot, Red LED Flashing, Not Charging

HTC M8 doesn't boot red LED flashing not charging
Hi,
I have big problems with my HTC M8. It is 11 month old.
I is rooted, has 4.16.401.10 firmware, Android Revolution HD 43.0 and
S-off SunShine.
In the evening I put it on the charger with 61% battery left. The next morning it didn't start up anymore and the red LED was flashing.
The battery didn't charge and so long it doesn't boot up at all, I can't connect it to the PC. It is only shows the big battery sign when I connect it to the charger which disappears some seconds later.
I didn't want to send it to HTC for guarantee, because I couldn't put on stock software.
My lokal handy-doctor changed the battery... nothing!
He changed the USB connection... nothing.
The red LED keeps flashing, the battery doesn't charge, it only becomes warm, I cannot turn it on. I have tried to press the power-volume+ -volume- buttons, nothing.
I think HTC will charge me, if I sent it for guarantee, or does anyone have other experience?
What should I do? Any idea?

Try holding the power and vol up for a long time, maybe a minute or so, and see if there is any change.

That was one of the first things which I tried. It has no effect.

Try power+vol up, and also power+vol down, with and without wall charger connected. I've seen a couple people have luck with that. Otherwise, if it still won't work, its pretty much bricked.
Especially since you've already had a new battery installed, it may be a problem on the mainboard.

Since you've had a 3rd party take apart the phone, replace the battery, and replace the USB port, your warranty is void.

I did that so many times. It doesn't help. I think its a hardware problem.

As you tried all the things I suggested with no luck, I agree its probably a hardware problem.
This would have been justifiably covered under warranty, since its a hardware problem. And since the screen doesn't come on, they wouldn't have known it was ever bootloader unlocked, custom ROM, etc.
But now that you've had a repair shop open it, it will be obvious to HTC the phone has been opened and they will probably charge you for repair.

This isn't the "same problem" unless you (like the OP) took it to a repair shop, had them replace the battery and then the USB port? I doubt it.
Posting "I have the same problem" is just lazy, and doesn't give us the proper info for anyone to properly help.
How did this condition come about, did you just find the phone in this condition? Or were you flashing anything or any other actions to cause this condition?
Plug the wall charger (not connected to computer) overnight. Then hold the power and vol up buttons for a minute or 2, and see if there is any change.
Also try a different charger and cable.

Ok, sorry for the lazy answer.
So, yesterday the phone works fine, when i go to sleep.
Today, the alarm clock sounds, I woke up, and when i take the phone, the screen is black. Therefore, it didn't work.
I used another charger and cables, but don't work.
The S.O is sense stock, only had custom recovery, but I never used.
If i plug it to the computer, isn't recognized.
Maybe, you can know any solution for that?
A lot of times, I try, with power + vol up and power + vol down, for around 20 seconds.

Thanks for all help, but my phone didn't change the red flashing.
I think I have to accept that my phone died the red flashing death. RIP
