[Q] HTC One M8 Not turning on with battery - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried to search the forum but couldn't get mine working.
I got HTC One M8 partially dead from my friend, so that I can check it. TWRP recovery is installed. HTC Boot logo show " This build is for development purpose only..."
Now I have three different genuine chargers with me. One from HTC One M8, another from HTC ONE Max and third is from HTC Evo 3D. If I plug the charger in computer to get it detected and then try some adb cmd on it. It will just keep restarting after showing first boot logo. Then when I put it to its own wall charger it get on and the TWRP recovery screen appears for 1 sec and then the battery information that it is charging. few seconds later TWRP recovery screen just appear again for 1 sec and goes away while the phone is yet charging.
The battery charging information shows that is phone is charging up and the LED is stable. I let it charge over night and was 100% in the morning. As soon as I removed the wall charger. The phone went off. I tried to power it on but it didn't. I put the phone again to charge with wall charger but it again started from 1%. The phone goes off as soon as I remove it from wall charger and then start charging again from 1% if I put it back.
It is not water damaged, neither it has been hit hard, nor dissembled.
What I have tried it to get into hboot by holding POWER+Vol Down. Also Tried POWER+Vol up for 10-20 sec. I also tried to go through Battery calibration by holding VOL Down+VOL UP and Power for 2min+. Phone doesn't show any life if I try it on battery, not even vibration. Only on wall charger it start doing it regular procedure as said above.
Now the question is if it charging the Battery at all? Because I don't feel the phone heating up a bit while charging. Or is it some other problem?!
Thanks

Any help?

Sounds like it's not really charging, probably a hardware problem. Any way you can return it under warranty?

TP2 won't boot or charge either!!

Hey guys, I got a real big problem.
I've got a Rhodium100, but it won't charge nor it'll boot.
When connected to original charger or pc the phone starts. Then I can see the HTC logo and it dies again. The battery seems to be totally dead
What I've triend so far:
1. Pulled out the battery
2. Multiple cabels for the charger
3. Soft reset
4. Hard reset (won't complete because the battery is dead)
5. Checked the on/off button (on top)
What else can I do to fix this problem? I'd like to try anything before sending the phone to HTC (did that 2 times before, but with other problems).
This is what happens: MOVIE
Thanks in advance

Buy a new battery and see if that helps. There are some cheap ones on ebay.
I just found another cable and it seems to be he's charging again. But after 5 hours of charging it's still on 40%.
When the battery-level is around 45% it goes downwards to around 38% and then to 45 again..
This is circulating..
How can this be?
You shouldn't let the battery completely die in the first place. A deep discharge of any Lithium Ion battery is not recommended because of this. If you've tried to do a hard reset and it did not complete, you may have destroyed the ROM image. If it doesn't turn back on, flash a stock ROM.
Always try to charge the device before it gets to 5% remaining battery. 10% is recommended, but 5% is the lowest the battery should ever be. Having a second battery is always a good idea. I have two of them and an external battery charger. This way, I can always have a battery able to charge without needing the device just in case something goes awry.
Make sure you do not turn the device on. Leave the battery in the device overnight on the charger without turning it on. If it still does not function after this, you might try purchasing another battery and charger.
If you have time left on your warranty, this is covered by it. Simply call your carrier or HTC and they will fix it for you. It's generally faster to go through your carrier if you have the option to do so.
Thanks for the tips. I followed them and it seems to be my phone is fully working again!
Nothing helps with TP2 reanimation

I have the same problem since august 2010. I've do the same as you flashing some ROM's also restoring original one(T-Mobile), buying new akku ang external charger- but nothing helps When I place battery in phone it switches on by self(seems like power button abridget but I've checked it with testing device), starting showing T-Mobile logo "Stick together" then shows windows logo then backlight fading then device restarts, so it happen infinite till battery fully goes empty. Now on phone is installed original ROM and I can't install any other- in bootloader I can install only SPL's, but other ROM's not installs (flashing process freezes on 0%). I haven't any ideas, somebody can help me? Thank you all.

It's a dead battery. If it powers on by itself, then you'll either want to get a new battery or an external battery charger. Make sure you're charging from the wall, and not a USB port.

Yes, I do as you suggest - bought new battery and wall charger, but no result. I doubt that new battery or charger is destroyed, but anything is possible... What actually kind of problem if phone couldn't do hard reset, not upgding ROM, also switches on when battery is placed into? 100% fault (discharged) battery?

I mentioned that you may need to charge the battery externally if it is powering on when you insert the battery. You'll either need a friend's phone to charge it, or buy an external charger. With the external charger, let it sit on the charger overnight, pop it in the phone, and then try again. If using an external charger does not work, then you may want to send the device in for repairs/replacement.

[POSSIBLE FIX] Flashing red light - dead phone/inferior USB cables

Today I had my One X happily connected to my pc, just transferring some files over by USB. Then when I wanted to disconnect it, it showed a lot of 'not getting enough current to charge and operate at the same time' messages. Dismissed them all, though it was time to put it on the wall charger, seen it's critical battery status.
Once I disconnected the phone, it immediately powered off and would not come back to life again. It was, however, greeting me with a flashing red light while on the wall charger. No matter what I tried (bootloader, long hold power button, charge it for some time), it remained completely dead.
Now I did get some new micro usb cables from eBay. Very cheap ones. Now I think these are the culprit. Apparently, while in file transfer mode, these cables were unable to provide sufficient current, causing the phone to drain the battery completely. Once I wanted to charge it, it couldn't boot to charger mode due to the battery being completely empty.
Hooking up with the original HTC cable again, it still showed the red flashing light. Exact same behavior. Until I (for the heck of it) tried to bash the power button quickly. It suddenly came back to life again and started charging again through PC.
If you find yourself in the same situation with bad USB leads (something to do with resistance of the cable?) or a red blinking light, try tapping the power button quickly instead of trying to boot into recovery mode. It might save you a postal return and a week or 3. Or your ass, if you rooted it before it stopped charging.
When I had my sensation I had this every now and then. I had to remove the battery to get it to work.. Nice to know that there appears to be something I can do to sort this out if I get this now

It was mentioned that the flashing red (or orange?) meant that the temp was too high.
Just let it cool down, and it will come back.
It definitely wasn't hot. Also, it wasn't flashing orange. Just slowly red.

flashing orange - low battery
flashing red - very low battery
It could well be the battery level is considered too low to operate. So to protect the circuit and the battery, the device is not allowed to turn on until it is sufficiently charged.
This is currently (no pun intended) happening to my one x, left it plugged into my pc via the htc usb and got flashing red light after a couple of minutes, after a couple of minutes more it stopped flashing and became a solid red light (a sign it is charging from v low battery from m experience) pressed the power button and voilĂ  its come back on. I can't believe htc would let the device get to such a critical state of battery before powering down, can anyone enlighten me as to why it would do this?
(thinking about it i was showcasing the handset to my apple touting buddy and had 3 pretty heavy apps running, it was a couple of hours after i noticed it had killed itself so i'm guessing they were still draining away the power from the background??)
I'm having the same problem. My phone was off when i got home and it wouldn't turn on (I assume the battery was dead). When I put it on the wall charger the red the red light didn't turn on and my phone wouldn't boot. I tried several chargers and cables and also tried to connect it to my pc. After leaving the phone for a few hours (unplugged) i tried to connect it to my pc again and i got the blinking red light. A few minutes later I decided to plug it into the wall and the red light turned on and now it is working normally.
anyone got an idea why it didn't charge at first?
agree chaging cable fixed my flashing red light problem
Poor quality charging/data cable
A poor quality charging/data cable will also impact the ability to charge the HOX in your car. I have two cars, in one I was using an old Blackberry cable and Griffin charge adapter (1amp output) to charge the phone whilst using Car Dock and navigation software. After trial and error I got the screen brightness correct and the phone charged satisfactorily. I say satisfactorily because I still think any electronic device which is connected to an external power supply of sufficient electrical current should operate and charge at full spec. In my other car (1996 Land Rover Discovery) I was using a cheap ebay charging/data cable. Using the same apps and screen brightness the HOX would lose all charge over about a two hour period. With the same Blackberry cable used in my other car, no problem. Hence the cheap ebay cables are now in the bin.

The HTC-cable isn't that good too. I use a Nokia-charger to charge my HOX. Charging is much quicker. Maybe the HTC--charger (and cable) was crappy but i never touch them, i use the Nokia charger and dito USB cable.
Thank you!

thank you! Thank you! That cheap usb was totally the problem!
Small update.
This problem just happened to me. 1 cord gave me flashing red while plugged into the wall and pc. I switched to my other cable and its charging and functioning normally. Cord was the problem.
I had a similar issue with my one x.
It discharged completely, then when I went to charge it I just got the red blinking light for ages. I left it charging overnight thinking the battery was so low it needed a while to charge enough to be able to switch on.
But in the morning it was still flashing and the phone was very hot, so I thought the battery was blown.
So I came on here and saw a suggestion about holding the power button and the volume down button. It went to the boot menu and said there was not enough power for a factory reset or something, so I selected recovery. I then got a warning icon and the phone switched off again, but this time with a solid red light. A
After a while I was able to turn it back on again.
Hope this helps.
Wellllll
I have the HTC One VX. I know this isn't in the same topic, but since I found the thing that helped/worked here, I thought I should share my experience. So I bought my new phone on Sunday, so it is roughly 5 days old...not even a full week. I charged the phone before I went to bed to roughly 80%. I made sure all apps and what not were turned off and pressed the lock button. I woke up in the morning and checked my phone to see what time it was. Had 78% battery left. I left it on my dresser for roughly 2 hours and when I got back from class, I grabbed my phone to check if I had any messages.
The phone didn't turn on and I didn't even get the flashing orange/red light. So I tried charging it and nothing. I changed wires and nothing. I frantically searched the internet and stumbled upon this forum/thread. I tapped the power button at least 15 times consecutively and the phone barely flashed orange. I tried to plug it in again and rapidly pressed the power button 10 more times and the screen finally turned on. It started charging and I checked the battery life. Somehow, in 2 hours my phone drained itself of 78% battery life when it was on the lock screen (its also set to lock after 15 seconds of inactivity) to the point where it couldn't even turn on.
The phone/battery was not even warm/hot or w/e. It had not touched any water. No idea what caused the immense power drain, but glad it is working. Thank you so much for this help
woops, wrong thread
It happens to me allso in this morning, in my opinion is like this: The phone is turning off when basicly you have a little bit batt (lets say something around 5% max) and its turning off to protect data and is showing to you batt empty. Then it cames a user with a charger connected to a power supply (house charger,car charger or directly to pc's usb). You must use a good usb to micro-usb charger (the original ones are't good usb cables) try to use a Nokia usb to micro-usb cable, This was the first problem most usualy. The second one is to pay a HUGE attention to UC, don't uc'it so much because then the charger board will not charge your batt so well. Keep yours HOX safe and anjoy it. Have a nice day boys and girls.

HTX ONE X Not charging beyond 2%

Problem started after restoring a nandroid backup. Kept the phone for charging overnight next day it was dead.
The Problem:
1) Phone does not charge fully through USB/Wall Charger tried all types of cables official/aftermarket.
2) The Red LED keeps blinking then becomes stable for sometime then shuts off. Then again need to plug out and plugin the charger again the same cycle continues.
3) When the Red LED becomes stable can boot the phone in OS/Boot-loader/Recovery (5.8.4.0) but it switches of automatically after sometime. In OS the battery seems to be stuck at 2% and does not charge beyond that.
4)Even tried to charge it using Fast-boot method using the script. But the voltage seems to gradually decrease instead of increasing and the device switches off again.
5)Have tried to recalibrate the battery by VOL UP+ VOL Down+ Power and even wiped batterystats through recovery.
Please help me troubleshoot the problem.

simply change the boot loader. similar stuff happened to me when i was in CM. change boot loader and dont open it. charge it with wall charger and then go into recovery then flash a new rom. i don't recommend nandroid backups. use google's backup.

How do change bootloader ?, its not able to flash anything through fastboot as the charge is too low.
sorry wrote wrong i meant change kernel. the only thing you can do is shut off the phone then wait for it to charge. then go to fast boot and flash a new or stock kernel.

OK now it seems that the phone can charge through USB port only charged till 100% green light came on. But stops charging after a while when connected to a Wall charger and starts discharging.
I Have tried to charge it with original wall charger, another one from the HTC Desire Z charger and tried various usb cables too. But none of the wall chargers work with it.
This seems very weird

[Q] Phone Boots when battery is connected then goes black.

First thing is first, I have been searching here and Google and have not found this exact problem.
I am running cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY currently
Today my phone turned off on its own while connected to a car charger.
Here is what it is doing.
When the battery is connected the phone turns on and gets to the Samsung logo, then it goes black. No back light, nothing. If I pull the battery and re-insert it, it happens again. Once it goes black none of the buttons seem to be responsive (cannot force a reboot by holding the power button). Once it goes black if I connect it to a charger I get no LED indicating charge level.
If I try to boot into recovery I see the blue text and then it goes black.
If I try to boot into download mode I can get to the triangle screen if I am fast and then it goes black.
If I have a data USB cable connected and I connect the battery the phone does nothing, and will not respond to the power button, again no LED light indicating charge level.
If I have a charge only cable (wall outlet) connected and I connect the battery I see the battery charge icon for about 1 second and then the screen goes black. and the phone will not respond to any buttons.
I have duplicated all these things with 2 batteries both actual Samsung batteries, neither of the batteries is bubbled out at all.
I have tried leaving the battery out for several hours, but this did not help.
I have data on this phone that was not backed up so any suggestions I will try.
Thanks

I had this problem before and I was freaking out, but it was just the cord I used when trying to connect it, but yours sounds like an overload problem, maybe from your car charger if it plugs into the car lighter socket. My buddy has a super recharger that hooks into his lighter socket, and while it may charge fast, it might have jolted your phone, or maybe you had it over clocked in your rom? Or was it a recent occurrence or did it happen as soon as you installed the rom? Because this happens on a bad flash sometimes, if your Wi-Fi connection is shaky or far off, you could get a bad download and it will royally harm your time having to mess with it.

Or was it a recent occurrence or did it happen as soon as you installed the rom? Because this happens on a bad flash sometimes, if your Wi-Fi connection is shaky or far off, you could get a bad download and it will royally harm your time having to mess with it.

I had flashed the night before and it ran fine all night and all morning, then it just shut down. The car charger I use is not a super charger, but it is also not a Samsung charger. I was not overclocked and my wifi is not shaky usually.
Seems like I am screwed either way.

First thing is first, I have been searching here and Google and have not found this exact problem.
I am running cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY currently
Today my phone turned off on its own while connected to a car charger.
Here is what it is doing.
When the battery is connected the phone turns on and gets to the Samsung logo, then it goes black. No back light, nothing. If I pull the battery and re-insert it, it happens again. Once it goes black none of the buttons seem to be responsive (cannot force a reboot by holding the power button). Once it goes black if I connect it to a charger I get no LED indicating charge level.
If I try to boot into recovery I see the blue text and then it goes black.
If I try to boot into download mode I can get to the triangle screen if I am fast and then it goes black.
If I have a data USB cable connected and I connect the battery the phone does nothing, and will not respond to the power button, again no LED light indicating charge level.
If I have a charge only cable (wall outlet) connected and I connect the battery I see the battery charge icon for about 1 second and then the screen goes black. and the phone will not respond to any buttons.
I have duplicated all these things with 2 batteries both actual Samsung batteries, neither of the batteries is bubbled out at all.
I have tried leaving the battery out for several hours, but this did not help.
I have data on this phone that was not backed up so any suggestions I will try.
Thanks

This blows, I just had the Same Exact thing happen last night, word for word.
Although I'm on a stock Rom that's rooted.
Phone was in my pocket and it vibrated as it restarted on its own. Pulled it out of my pocket, waited for it to fully start up, then I could use it.
However, it rebooted 2 minutes later and has Never come back yet.
I wish there was some sure fire way to verify if its the screen that went bad or the logic board. The mere fact the screen shows the Galaxy S4 logo, or Download Mode for a few seconds before shutting off seems weird if the screen was in fact bad.... =(

Check your power button, it could be stuck.

You were correct! Had to mess with that button a bit to get to work properly, but its still an issue. One to many power button presses and the issue returns.
I have tested the phone without the exterior power button only using the logic board button and it did that same thing. Am I correct to assume that the fault is the actual button on the logic board? So new logic board to fix this? =(
Why so many presses of the power button?

Tab Pro 8.4 stuck in logo screen/battery loading screen

Hey folks,
I did not use my tab for several months (it was working before), now when I plug it into the charger (either usb or wall socket) it either hangs in a flashing screen sensation of the Samsung galaxy tab pro screen or at the battery screen while this one is just with a loading icon, it does not really charge.
As soon as I unplug the cable it shuts off. I cannot boot into recovery mode, it just hangs there. I can boot into download mode however and I re-installed root and twrp recovery via Odin, however this did not help.
Any other suggestions please?
Appreciate the help.
Plug it into the wall. Leave it plugged into the charger. Hold the power button down for up to 2 minutes. See how it goes!
No change, just keeps rebooting.

When you didn't use the tablet for those several months did you keep it running or did you use the power off option, if you left it running then it probably shut it-self down when battery got low, then the extra time left probably completely depleted the battery causing irreversible damage to the battery (lithium-ion batterys aren't made to deplete to 0 volts it will ruin them), the proper way to store a battery device is to fully charge it then power off the device and it should store for up to a year fine.
sometimes you can give the battery a boost, or maybe the samsung charger blew out, first try another 2+ amp charger and a new cable.
or you can even try your pc usb port connect it for about 10-15 minutes (sometimes the low 500mA current is good to revive completely dead batteries though keep the screen off), see if you can get any voltage back into the battery and if it starts holding a charge, then switch to a proper charger.
if the battery is under 3v the tablet is designed to shut off to protect the battery so if the voltage is less then that it might take some tinkering to get the voltage above that threshold to keep the tablet running.

I'd guess it was left off without powering it down.
When I plug it into the PC via USB or into a power socket I just see the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T320' log and it is flashing continuously.
RMA? I can get into download mode, but how does that help me? Knox warranty void shows 0x1 - it's voided, correct?
Anyone?
