[Q] One X Dead Single Red Flash

Hi,
My one X has completely died. I replaced the screen on it but now when I try and turn it on I get one solitary red flash off the charging LED after 2-3 seconds of holding the power button down and that's it. The weird thing is that I only get the red flash when the USB/charger is plugged in. After that I have to unplug the USB/charger for about ten seconds, plug it back in and then it will flash again when the power button is held down. I've measured the battery voltage and it is reading 4.00v. Anyone have any ideas at all? It's not as if I can send it back to HTC because if you open it, it is obvious I've opened it.

It's happened to me a few times before, I think it happens when the battery is completely dead.
I left mine on usb for a while, and then entered it into hboot mode by holding the volume button (down I think) and the power button. After you get to hboot could take a couple of tries, enter into recovery and then reboot the system and place it on the wall charger asap.
Hope it helps.

If u look on here there is a bat file for your phone that loops your phone on fastboot.
This allows a minute charge to the battery increasing its power and then should be able either to boot up or restore via RUU file for your phone.
Make sure you have ADB/Fastboot drivers installed and wait for an hour or so when running file

At the moment, when I plug the phone into my PC, it doesn't recognise anything being connected. When I run the find connected devices in the SDK platform tools it doesn't find anything either. Will the above still work or am I goosed.

Hold vol down and power and should show white screen with 3 androids at bottom and in blue text should say hboot.
Press power once and should change to fastboot in red text.
Connect phone and see if detected by pc then. (You dont run via sdk if drivers are installed correctly)
If you dont have drivers go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135381 and install.

When I press the power button and down volume at the same time nothing happens at all. Regardless of how long I press them for. I'm pretty sure it's properly dead. If my pc doesn't recognise anything being connected I can't load drivers or anything to it. Might have to consign this one to the bin.....

Your phone is dead. Accept it and go use your insurance. You DO have insurance on it, right?

Suggestions for things to try with bricked 5x

I was getting a notice on boot that said "Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted," so I held down the power and volume down buttons to get it to fastboot mode. However, I couldn't get it to be recognized in fastboot on my laptop. At one point I selected "reboot bootloader" and the phone promptly shut off, black screen and completely unresponsive.
From that point on, I can't get it to do anything. I've tried holding power + volume down for 20 seconds and then plugging it in (as noted in another thread) as well as taking it apart and disconnecting the battery to see if that would reset it somehow. No dice.
Any other suggestions before I give up? Thanks very much in advance...

my device is for the most part of the time in qualcomm mode, but I managed to have access to the phone 3 days ago, installing apps & stuff, worked perfectly well until I had
the bad idea to try to charge it through the charger instead of charging it through my computer...
how I've done it?
I used the power reboot technic :
1) pressing the power button for 1 minute
2) doing nothing for some seconds
3) pressing the power button again for 1 minute
4) connecting the phone to the charger, the red light flashed
5) the battery icon appeared soon after
6) waiting for complete charge, phone rebooting
it worked once, so I suppose it can work again. fingers crossed.

SW3 won't start

Well a few days ago, like 2 weeks ago, I thougt I lost my SW3 (I use it w / o leash because it broke and there's no replacement for the stainless steel one) but actually it was lost on my travel bag xD
After plug in again it started to charge, but when I tried to turn on (after reach 100%), after the sony and SW3 logo, it turns off, like it has a problem at boot. I tried to repair via Xperia Companion and the process was succesful, but the watch just gets stuck on the same SW3 logo.
Now I think is the battery, but I'm really hoping is not, there are any suggestion guys about what could be happening?

Is it stuck at the 4 dots spinning? If So I have the same problem, I have tried a factory reset, updating the rom via push commands etc I have brought a new SWR50 thats working with ADB debugging enabled this time (Didn't do it on the last one) my question hopefully will help the OP as well can I take a complete clone/rom backup from the working watch then push that to the broken watch (Bare in mind no debugging enabled on the broken one) Also to the OP have you held down the power button to get to the fastboot menu and factory reset/recovery settings? if not then you turn off the watch, press and hold the power button until the "insert usb now" shows, you then press the power button quickly twice to access the recovery menus

I forgot about this thread lol
thanks dude!, A couple times it reached the spinning dots, but not always, sometimes it turned off on the SW3 logo before the dots appear, and actually I tried all those things you mentioned, but it didn't work, also I think my watch is (even more) screwed now xD...
Trying to do a second repair on Xperia Companion, the watch got turned off in mid repair, lending obviously on an error, and also losing the ability of do offline charge so once the battery reach 0, is over...
now when I plug in just stays on the SW3 logo, I still can go to connect USB screen and go to the two clicks menu (and stays on), but every time I try a repair, in the middle of the process disconnects and turns off, I don't know exactly why only when is plugged on the repair process it turns off, even pluged in the PC w/o repair stays connected all the time... bad thing is I don't know if is charging or not, so could stop working anytime

Have you tried to push the update through adb recovery mode?

every day I'm more convinced the watch is screwed
If I turn on the watch stays on the SW3 logo all the time (it seems offline charge works after all), I even can go to the "insert USB" screen and stays on all the time, but when I try to push something to the watch, always disconnects, turns off and the process obvioulsy gets interrumpted, I'm losing my hopes xD
I'm using the original charging wire, but tried with other working ones

my sister bought me this smart watch , it came on long enough to program a few this after I charge it and then 10 minutes later it shut off and now it won't come back on or power up , what should I do ?

I have a weird problem with my sw3. When I plugin my watch to a charger nothing shows up but the watch gets heated up. But when I connect it to PC it just keeps turning on and off. Tried various methods available on this site but none of them worked.

Bricked? Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

So… I bricked my Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra while trying to install TWRP 3.5.2. Bootloader is unlocked.
Here’s what the phone doesn’t do:
· Doesn’t turn on
· Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed
· Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed for a long time
· Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol down is pressed for a long time
· Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol up is pressed for a long time
· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a wall charger
· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC
· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol up pressed
· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol down pressed
But here’s what it still does, so at least there’s still hope it may resurrect from the dead:
· It is recognized when connected to a PC as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”
· It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol down pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”
· It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol up pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK” but only for a few seconds, and then it disconnects. So at the very least the device “knows” it should be doing something differently when connected with vol up pressed
So it does seem to still hold a chance.
Can you help me out? Thanks in advance!

Are you still struggling?
I often run into this behaviour (I have an XA2 H3113).
Things that work for me.
1. Hold down the three buttons Power+camera+volume_up at the same time without the USB cable plugged in and keep it held, it has taken 30 seconds sometimes to force the reboot.
2. You also say you can 'see' your device on your PC, but don't give much more than that - I am using Linux to manage my phone so I suspect this isn't what you are doing based on your description, anyway you can still download the 'SDK' for windows and try to run 'adb' commands
SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.
developer.android.com
In my Linux case, assuming that I can see my phone
adb devices
You can then force a reboot to the 'recovery' partition to factory reset everything.
adb reboot recovery.
Failing all that I would consider making sure that there is a charge on your battery and that the cable you are using is good enough (some of my USB C cable that I have lying about have proven unreliable when connnecting and/or charging my phone - they are not all the same!), finally I have also found on my Dell Laptop that the USB port that I connect to matters! I have 3 of them on the motherboard and I have found, for no reason that I have bothered to research, that if I use the two on the right-hand side of the laptop, then I sometimes can run adb commands and sometimes I cannot but if I use the one on the left hand side (with the same cables) it never fails.
Your description about being recognised but only for a few seconds does sound like the PC's Cable/ USB connection is unreliable or that you are running at nearly zero battery (you also said you get no lights which IS unusual). If you haven't already, just let the thing charge for an hour or so and see if it really is just a symptom of a low power in the battery.
Sorry that you are having these problems. I often think I have bricked my XA2 (I fiddle about with thing all the time) and have had numerous issues of LineageOS spinning on boot or not being able to get past the Sony flash screen, but usually one of the two things above gets me out of it and into the 'factory reset' mode and that always seems to work.
Good luck!

Hi there! Still struggling.
1. Nothing happens when Power + Vol up + Camera buttons are pressed for 45 seconds without the USB cable plugged in
2. adb commands are not working (they were up until the failed TWRP installation)
3. Battery was charged to 94% when the failed TWRP installation occurred (I see no way of making sure it is now charged). The cable and USB port I’m using are the exact same I was using during the failed TWRP installation.
4. Being recognized only for a few seconds is a characteristic of the mode I’m trying to enter, thus not cable/USB connection related
5. I have left the phone charging for a full night (and no, the charging LED didn’t show up)
Thanks

Any news on the topic? Same situation here.

Hi guys, just got my Xperia XA2 from China after 2.5 months wait. Is a good phone. But did a giagantic software update over Wi-fi and after tapping Restart my new phone is fried. I tried ALL the steps in the first message above of this thread. Need to know should I get a replacement or is this going to happen again so should go for a different phone? Thanks.

OnePlus 3 got black screen and doesn't start

Dear XDA community,
I have a 5/6y old OnePlus3, a great phone which never had a problem since last week when the screen simply went black.
If I try to turn it one but it doesn't react.
If I charge it, it shows me an alert that the battery is critically low. It charges for a couple of minutes until it automatically tries to start but then it does not pass the OnePlus logo screen and goes black again. I though it might have been a battery problem but, even if I leave it to charge the whole night, it still doesn't turn on.
I manage to enter the fastboot mode but from there, all paths (e.g. restart, start in recovery mode) lead to the black screen again.
When it's in fastboot mode and I plug it to the PC via USB, it is recognized as a connected android device, however I never activate the USB debuggin option (damn me!!!) and when I try to search the phone using 'adb devices' command it's not there...
Does anyone have an idea on how I can access the storage to copy my files? Or is it even possible at this stage?
Thanks everybody in advance for any help!
