Hi all,
My One m9 is running ARHD (latest) along with the associated firmware. It has been working ok for the past few weeks - although I had noticed it getting a bit hotter than normal.
Today, now the screen will not turn on. I have force re-botted it a few times but cannt access Recovery/Bootloader either. Occasionally adb reports the device as:
000000000000 host
At other times, adb shows as if nothing is connected.
The phone makes sounds for WhatsApp messages etc being recieved. But nothing on the screen. The battery is almost flat and my plan is to let it burn out then see how it behaves when charged but looking for advice here first. Anything anyone has seen before?

Hey guys
I have obviously an HTC One X, that started freezing all of a sudden and stopped charging, it even froze in the bootloader menu, then the screen turned off and I don't know what exactly the problem is, I tried everything I saw in every google page I found, and nothing helped, I took it to HTC and they had their all time favorite answer: "you have to change the motherboard", I am still not convinced of that.
anyway, that's not why I am here, the details are, the phone is not rooted, in the same state as when I got it, but with the last stock update that they released, when I connect it to the pc, the pc makes a sound and says that device is not recognized, until couple of minutes ago when I connected it, it's showing in device manager as APX, that's why I am posting.....
the screen is off,and I don't know even if the phone is off or on, and no led indicator that it's charging...
is there a possibility to fix it or is it gone for good?
before I go, yes I tried turning it off and on and every possible combination out there, under a bright light, in the fridge(kidding) still the same thing, but when I press the power button for more than 10 seconds while connected to pc, the pc makes disconnect/connect sound.
thanks for the help and sorry for the long talk.

Hello All
I have a HTC one X. I installed Cyanogenmod on it a few days ago and it was running pretty fine. Until last night my phone started to freeze a few times. So I reflashed the rom ect and it fixed it.
This morning I was messing around on this phone and it froze yet again so I held down the power button to reboot the phone.
Now the phone itself turns on but its shows a black screen. I can unlock, I can hear sounds, I can even receive phone calls and text messages and play around on the phone (but cant see anything)
I have tried plugging it in to my pc and going in to the SD card but in order to do that on cyanogenmod I will have to tun usb storage on, on the phone which i cant seem to do.
I am wondering whats going on with my phone and are there any ways to fix it or is this the end of it ?
Regards

Hi everyone,
first off, I've spend days now trying to find a fix. If I've missed anything, I'm sorry, it wasn't for lack of trying.
Here's the situation: I have acquired an HTC One X earlier this year which has worked quite flawlessly. I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery. However, since I handed the phone off to my not-so-techy sister I did not use a custom ROM, and after the HTC update failed with the custom recovery I reversed that as well. The device should now be stock everything with unlocked bootloader.
After a few months my sister encountered heavy problems, though. She described them as battery related (wouldn't turn on correctly) and eventually she moved to a new phone. Now I have gotten the device back and I am trying to fix it. After charging it I managed to have it boot once. However, I but it to the side and wanted it to load some more. Ever since then the screen doesn't come on. The charging LED seems to work fine (eventually switched from red to green, too, indicating that the device is fully charged) and the button backlight still works, too. Most significantly though, the device is recognized as MTP device in Windows: I can access all the data in the storage without problems.
I have read that there is an issue with the HTC One X and the display connector so eventually I went ahead and took the device apart. It's lying in front of me now in pieces, but I still couldn't get the screen to come alive. The obvious conclusion would be to buy a new screen but the device doesn't feel like it's worth the investment. Besides, I would like to know for sure that it's the screen before I do anything.
So I turn to you guys and ask if you have any idea how I could access the phone via my computer. I tried to boot it up in bootloader mode but due to the strange standby methods HTC is using and not seeing anything on the screen I haven't been able to do that yet: Whenever I connect my USB cable it's recognized as MTP device, not ADB. Debugging seems to be deactivated so that doesn't seem to be an option. Does anyone have any idea how I could get the phone to talk to my computer (i.e. get into the bootloader or ADB screencast for sure)? With my Galaxy S I could simply plug in this dummy micro USB and would be sure to end up in download mode.
Any help is appreciated!
tl;dr: HTC One X screen is dead but LEDs work, is recognized as MTP device. How to make it talk to the computer?
Thanks,
rien
Alright, sometimes just posting stuff like this helps already. I was now finally able to get the phone into fastboot (apparently) and it's reacting to the fastboot commands. I suppose the next step is to load CWM and connect via adb. This way I can at least do a factory reset.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding the original issue with the screen? Especially since it does seem to work occasionally. And doesn't show any fragments...
Can I enable USB debug mode from within the recovery to work in the system?
There are similar threads but I think my problem is different from the others.
In the morning everything was fine for about an hour but once I left the house my phone froze out of nowhere. In the beginning It was still able to reboot into Android but always crashed shortly after and right now it's looping. I can still get into fastboot but recovery mode doesn't work, I just get back into the bootloop, probably because the phone crashes before it enters recovery mode (first google logo shows, then it crashes).
Sometimes when it crashes it produces really weird artifacts, which can cover most of the screen or are only a few pixels large, in different colors.
I found this guide which might help but I can't get into Recovery Mode anyway.
I read about the contacts getting lose, still gotta figure out if certain scenarios will allow it to boot.
Software is stock Android, on the latest update the Pixel XL received.
Update1: So after about 7 hours it finally booted to Android again, after taking of the case (cheap plastic one). And it does so consistently for some reason but sadly still crashes after a few minutes. Maybe it's heat related, the phone always got warm more easily with the case on.
I also just noticed that the phone restarts on it's own after crashing (and for some reason activates the night light) which could mean that it's trying to protect itself from damage.
Update2: Seems to be temperature related. I put it on a cold ice cube tray and since then it didn't turn itself off.
Considering the fact it restarts on it's own there could be some error logs, how could I retrieve those?
Update3: Higher tendency to boot when battery is low.

Maybe replace battery?
Hi there! I am not sure if your problem was fixed yet. But my Pixel XL died yesterday and did the same exact thing. It went into an infinire boot-loop, and after trying many times to power off and reboot, some weird artifacts appeared.
I think I messed up the phone, because at first the phone booted and then restarted, but now it just restarts and never ends....
EDIT: After some hours of rebooting, and more artifacts, the Pixel finally booted on android. Battery was at 4% so I guess that helped. It keeps rebooting from time to time, but at least I can copy my photos now haha.
Hello friends,
I’m new to this forum (or, any forum, really) and in desperate need of help.
Hopefully I'm posting this correctly.
In 2017 (I think) my mom bought a Nexus 5X phone. All was well, until suddenly it broke in 2019 and she had to get a replacement. There were a lot of pictures and videos on there (no SD card was used) that we do not have a back up of. (I know, that’s a big mistake...)
What happened: it just suddenly turned off and didn’t turn on anymore. When I tried to figure out what was happening, the only response the phone gave when I plugged it into my PC was a blinking red led underneath the screen. I figured the issue must’ve been with the battery. After a while, it didn't even do that anymore - not a single response was given.
It took me until 2020 to try to replace the battery with a new one. I think I managed to replace it successfully, carefully using two YouTube tutorials. When I held the original battery in my hand, I could bend it easily, so I expected that would solve the issue. But the phone didn’t give a single response to my efforts.
I also tried heating the phone as instructed in this video (with subs):
Again, without any success.
Since I didn’t want to give up on the stuff that is on that phone (precious memories of my cat who passed away at the end of 2020, for example), I randomly tried tinkering with it again a few days ago.
When I plugged it into my computer again, suddenly the red led started blinking again... And a few moments later, the Android logo lit up. Then the screen turned black again.
I noticed that when the phone was plugged in, my PC made this noise that recognizes something is in fact plugged in. However, it didn’t recognize the device.
After trying multiple times to hold down a few buttons, I first managed to get a screen that said “Firmware update”. It disappeared after a while, and showed a Google logo. I don’t remember exactly, but I think the time after that when I pushed the on/off button, the phone actually turned on and I could use it.
I could see all pictures were still on there. I immediately tried to copy them onto my pc but before I could do that, the phone shut off again and connection with my PC was lost. Battery was charged to about 70%.
I managed to reboot it a few times, but the time it stayed on became shorter and shorter. I wanted to try the debugging method and recover data that way, but it simply didn’t give me the time to do so.
A few days later, I still get the red blinking light and sometimes the android screen or a battery loading screen. Other than that, I can’t turn it on or get into safety mode, or anything like that. It *does* still connect to my PC, but doesn’t recognize the device.
TLDR; Nexus 5X shows blinking red light, doesn’t turn on and if it does, it almost immediately turns off again even after replacing its battery. All I really want is a way to recover the photos and videos that are on the device.
If anyone has any leads or tips that could be of help, they are most welcome.
