HI guys,
Hoping you guys can help me. I have a HTC One X I picked up 2nd hand (apparently wouldn't charge). When I received it, I cleaned out the USB port (little bit of fluff) and plugged it into the charger... no light (expected).. I left it on and shortly after, a solid red light appeared..
After a little while on charge, the phone turned itself on but stayed on the 'HTC' splash screen and went no further. I tried powering it off completely so it would charge without draining battery or slowing the charge because the phone was on.. but every-time I tried turning it off (either holding Power button for several seconds until screen went black... or holding Vol Down + Power button for 10sec as some suggested) the phone would just reboot back to the HTC logo splash screen and stay there.
Eventually I got the screen off (not sure how) and continued to charge, then it came back on again... :/
I tried to boot into the 'Bootloader' to Factory Reset etc.. but I am unable to do so. Every-time I try, the phone would just reset back to the HTC screen.. even if I kept the Vol Down + Power button held down, the phone would just loop to that HTC screen...
As I type this, the phone is sitting, plugged in, Red LED Light Solid lit but phone on (stuck on HTC screen)... just wondering if anyone has any tips ?
Is it possible to reset the phone via ADB if I can't get into the Bootloader ?
Thanks in advance..
UPDATE: Somehow I managed to boot into the Bootloader, and by the looks of it, the previous owner rooted the phone as it have CWM v5.8.4.0 installed. Wiping Cashe, data, factory reset, Dalvick cache etc.. still no change, sits on the HTC splash screen.
i did notice in the Bootloader though, it said the battery was too low to flash .. so I guess I have to leave it on charge for longer to try flash the phone again (maybe previous owner borked the ROM installation or something?)... unless is there anything else I can do? Maybe with ADB ?
Mods, can you please delete this thread.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

OK.
I will put in a detailed info about what happened.
A week back, my wildfire's touchscreen started to function abnormally.
I was rooted and on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
So, I flashed the phone with DK custom FROYO to make it look like sense so that the warranty is not void and took it to the HTC store.
They replaced the touchscreen for a flat fee (It was water damage according to them. But the phone was never used in wet conditions nor exposed to water)
But anyway, the phone was working fine when I brought it home from their store.
Then I flashed CM7.0.3 again.
And everything was working fine.
I OCed acc. to CM's settings to 652-352 Mhz.
And left the phone to charge in charger overnight.
When I woke up, the phone was off and there was just the red LED light blinking.
I tried to boot it again, but nothing works.
Pressing the power button does not do anything.
The phone still boots into recovery. At times.
I don't know what makes it boot into recovery. But at times it does, at times it doesn't. (Right now it's not booting into recovery no matter what I do)
Just the red LED keeps on blinking.
Please help.
I am not familiar with pushing commands onto the wildfire since I use a mac.
Please suggest any methods. If they involve using command line, I can use my windows PC for that. But please give a how-to of length enough for a noob ) ) to understand.
Thank you.

EDIT :
I got to boot into recovery once. Tried to reflash CM7.0.3
It came to "Installing update" and then failed to go further.
Tried to install DK Custom Froyo 4.5
And it went to opening package and then failed to go further.
Now entering into a panic mode !
Red light blinking generally occurs when phone is hot and plugged in to wall socket. Is it so at that time ?
Unplug the charger or usb. Remove the battery and reinstall the battery. Try to boot into hboot mode (volume down + power) or fastboot mode (trackpad + power) . If your phone can boot into hboot/fastboot mode and has no restarts or power offs, then I think you can solve it.
Try to clear storage from hboot menu. Or factory reset from recovery once you enter it. If still it is not solved, try using "pc49img" method of flashing an RUU from the hboot menu. Hope it helps. Shouldn't help if there is hardware issue.

So, I tried to restore a backup from TWRP. During the process, the system and cache were restored fine, but couldn't restore the data (for some reason, it said failed), so I figured it's alright, I'll just have to install all the apps again, no big deal. But, after I clicked the "reboot system", the screen went off and never turn back on.
I can't get in bootloader screen in any way, I haven't tried the Vol up + power button for 10s, and the vol down + power button, and the 3 button all together... Nothing works.
When I press the power button normally, nothing happens, not even the Htc logo screen.
When I plug it in, it only shows the battery charging icon. So I tried the buttons combination again (coz I thought at least the screen turns on now), but still, nothing happens, just the screen switch between black and the charging icon.
So, I left it charging overnight, and tried the buttons combination again, nothing works still.
Now I have no idea what to do, can anyone please help me?

Rooted, TWRP recovery, S-ON
It sounds like you hard bricked your phone. Try using this guide youtu . be/ rpA71FXddyU[/ but Im not sure it will work.
Only thing what you need is that computer recognize your phone, because when It doesnt then you should take your phone to local phone repair.
Okay so here's what happened. I unlocked my device just fine, and attempted to install a ROM, didn't work, So i decide I'm going to try to install cyanogenmod. I go this (wikiDOTcyanogenmodDOTORG/w/Install_CM_for_a5 )wiki tutorial [/URL] and I attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery via this link (builderDOTunstableappsDOTCOM/#/latest/clockworkmodrecovery/a5) When i flash, it installs. But then upon booting I get the app for developement only screen, and it's stuck showing my battery charge screen, with the orange charge light. Anyways I can't boot using the power down volume combo. I'm currently waiting on the battery to die so I can reflash the stock recovery, because fastboot won't recognize the device when I plug it in, even though my computer makes the device connected tone. So should I just wait until the battery dies? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Solved
I actually solved my problem. I waited for the phone to die, powered it on normally. Then to reset the device and held the power and up button as soon as the screen went black hit down on the volume and got into my bootloader.
Ok my phone stuck in bootloop and volume buttons dont work.
therefore
- i cant reboot into fastboot or recovery
- i cant connect my phone to usb - it blips in and out as my phone keeps rebooting
- when i plug it while its turned off it gets weird. the screen goes back and forth between the charging battery icon and TWRP recovery screen. same thing happens when i plug it to the wall to charge. but even that wont me access to recovery.
All and all im screwed as far as i can tell. ill try to fix the button, but in the meantime, if you can make any suggestions im all for it, Help pls.

So I was trying to flash the VF version of Ressurrection Remix, ended with a fail because I have no idea how to upgrade to mm blob since I have downgraded my self long ago, so I deleted all partition, and restored my previous backup.
But strangely my phone is completely black, first thought my phone is bricked, but it's not, going to fastboot mode, screen won't turn on, same as doing normal boot, scree remains black, but when I turned off the phone and plugged in to the wall charger, the screen turns on and show battery icon in it.
So I tried to do a normal boot while the screen is black after trying to boot into fastboot, keep waiting and finally there's a vibrate, and charging LED light up, pressing the power button will vibrates and I'm assuming that's the power menu, long press the power button will turn on the flash, so my phone is working but only the screen went black!
and this is not a brick, I have no idea what's going on with my phone, so any help?
