I am using the excellent Unofficial AICP ROM (Cheers Dev great work)
Today phone locked up, restarted and working again with 35% battery left.
About an hour later checked my phone only to find it was dead. Plugged in to charger but no LED and wouldn't turn on. Tried the "hold power button for 20-30 seconds " but no joy. Left to charge for an hour and tried the 20-30 second holding power button.... no joy.
Tried holding down the volume button and power button and it vibrated and booted to fastmode and was able to boot into twrp and then reboot system. All working again.
I believe the problem was the battery was completely drained (i mean dead) and so wouldn't boot at all. It has to be nougat or fingerprint sensor and possibly the kernel that is causing massive battery drain.
Wanted to post this so it helps someone else in that same situation.

Screen went black during phone call, audio still present. Then the phone shut off and refuses to turn on, no charging led when connected to power supply. Battery still had 75% charge during call
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds?

Thanks. This has also happened on my girlfriends device numerous times.
Similar thing happened to me, i was charging my One X while it was off (the battery completely depleted).
The notification LED was on (red) indicating it was charging, the LED turned off after about an hour of charging, i tried to turn it on and nothing, absolutely no reaction.
I've tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, also tried a vast combination of buttons;
Volume up + power.
All three buttons at once.
Any suggestions before i take it to the shop?
UPDATE:
5 minutes after posting this the LED light turned on, i tried to turn the device on and it did, so everything seems to be fine now, i just don't get how after an hour on the charger, when i turned it on just now my HTC One X battery was at 2%
In any case I won't be letting the battery deplete to 0% anymore
@dusan do you have CWM as recovery? It is known that battery-charge is broken, even when the device is off, when cwm is flashed.
Try to get into fastboot after some while, flash the stock recovery as fast as possible and turn the device off again for charging.
That would explain it, I do have CWM, I don't know how but I guess it charged just enough juice for me to turn the device on.
If I flash stock recovery will I be able to recharge the phone with the device off ?
Also would I lose root in that case?
The device responds to any button presses with the image that says 0% battery. When plugged in long enough it stays on "Needs more power to turn on." It has power, it can continuously respond to button presses with that bright image for hours on end. Attempting to boot into recovery/download mode responds with the same screen no matter how long I press it. Holding the power button for any period of time while unplugged results in it showing the battery 0% and then going to blank screen a few times then staying on a blank screen while immediately responding to any other button presses with 0% battery. Holding it while plugged in results in an infinite flashing 0% battery logo that flashes on for a split second every few seconds. Help?
Something similar has happened to me.
I installed TWRP and CM11 on it a few weeks ago. It had been running fine. A couple days ago I accidentally let the battery run completely out. Now it won't charge or power on.
It doesn't appear to be charging at all, doesn't get warm like it normally would when charging. Pressing the power button does nothing now, first time I tried to power it on I saw the plug image indicating no charge, but now I get nothing at all.
I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds (and longer). I've tried holding the power and volume down buttons together. I've left it plugged in all night. It seems to be completely dead now.
I was charging my phone connected to my laptop, the phone was powered off. I unplugged it and it just stuck like it was still plugged in charging. The charging light is on but trying to rest or boot does nothing. Just makes the charging light turn off for a second then back on.
Is it bricked? What should I do?
UPDATE
I let the battery drain out overnight and plugged it into the wall socket this morning. Now the charge light blinks but no charge icon pops up and it still doesn't power on. When trying to boot it into recovery, the icon pops up again. When I unplug it from charging, the charge light still blinks and the icon stays still. I think it is going to have to be a paperweight.
Anyone ever had this happen?

First, let the phone charge on wall socket for several hours. This is sometimes needed if the battery is allowed to drain to shutoff, and there is unsufficient battery voltage to boot/power-on the phone.
There is no button combo to directly access recovery on this phone, so I think you mean you tried to boot to bootloader (power+vol down). In some conditions like this (battery drained, stuck on boot screen, etc.), you will need to hold button combos for a minute or more before it will reboot. So try to just hold the buttons longer. Also try to do this (hold for a minute+) for power+vol up (this button combo forces a reboot in most situations) or simply just the power button ("regular" power-on).
Power + vol up would have been the best way to force a reboot (works in virtually every condition short of a true brick), rather then let the battery drain to shut-off. Letting the battery drain to shutoff is never a great idea, if it can be avoided, for the reason already mentioned.

Oh man! I was freaking for a while. I tried like everything except holding the buttons down so long. That reset it. It booted. When it booted up I tried to update the with the OTA in settings and it locked again on bootscreen. I did the hard reset again. It didn't update. I want to update it to Android 6.0, but it keeps running into problems some error "unexpected contents on partition - installation aborted." Something like that.
Thinking of trying to flash the OTA or RUU. Do you think that is a good idea?

I did the same a while back. Found my M8 had powered off overnight. Tried the button combos, which didn't seem to work, and thought it was spontaneously bricked. Finally just tried holding power (or maybe power+vol up, don't remember exactly) for a long time, and it finally booted, leading to much relief.

Flash the OTA how?
RUU should be fine, if you version has an RUU.
Hola! Last night my phone freezed for a few seconds before shutting down. I tried to reboot with no luck. No buttons combos no charghing,nothing,not even the red led that use to blink when it happened before after shutting down. The battery was low then ,about 15% and shut down but I managed to get it working . Now I had the same percentage ,around 15-30% on battery. I let it charge for about 10 mins and then tried booting again. Power+ vol up booted and showed "Download mode" . I don't know if it was me or the phone itself but it booted and Google appeared. Then Those circles appeared and after a few moments the have frozen and the phone shut down. Attempted again with no luck. I unplugged it and let the matter for today. This morning I again tried to boot up ,after a few attempts it booted but only got the Google screen before it shut down again... I let it charge for about 2 hours but still no luck with it. Connected it to the PC ,got the sound of a new device then the error sound and message of the driver. Disconnected and connected again and I got only the driver error sound without the new device sound if I don't change the port. Interesting is that if I press any button combination or just power while connected to the computer,after about 20 seconds of pressing I get the sound of disconnected and/or driver error. That gives me hope that it's not dead at all.. Might the battery be the cause? Replacing it would be a cheaper solution without losing data...Opinions? Tips? I had 3 different dreams in which I solved the problem...but the reality is a nightmare ( Heeeelp
Well it still shows signs of litttle life: If I let it without pressing anthing ,just leave it alone for a night or more and try to boot i,the red led flashes so I plug it right away get to the battery charging screen and that's i...I still hope it's because of the battery thinking hat the battery regenerates but cannot hold for too long.
This is a strange one.
HTC 10 2PS6500, Android 8. Has been working fine. Today I took the phone out of the pocket, to find that it's been turned off. Strange, I know the battery was almost full, so it's not a power down due to low battery.
Tried to turn it on with the power button, didn't work.
Held the power and volume up + down at the same time, a few seconds later the phone vibrated and powered up. Battery at 92%. No sign of what might have happened. Phone was working. I wondered what happened but soon forgot about it.
A few hours later, I charged the phone back to 100%. While using it, the screen timed out, when I pressed the power button again, a message popped up saying "HTC recovered from an abnormal reset, send it to HTC" or something like that, and it tells me to tap it twice to send. I tapped it twice, the screen came up. I have the option of Send to HTC or Cancel. I pressed Cancel. The screen froze after that.
Buttons are unresponsive. I pressed the power and volume buttons to reset it, it went black.
Since then I have not been able to get it to respond.
Power button alone - nothing. Tried even holding in excess of 1 minute.
Power + Volume Down - nothing. Held for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, over 1 minute.
Powr + Volume Up + Volume Down - nothing. Held for different durations of time, no difference.
Connected it to a charger, no response, the light up top where it lits when charging does not light up.
It's completely unresponsive. No boot screen, no vibration, nothing at all.
Any idea what else I can try?
well some new development...
I was trying to do the hard reset on the phone periodically. Sometimes with the charger plugged in (but no light on top indicating it's taking any charge). A day later, I was doing another hard reset (not expecting it to respond) but it vibrates and boots up. Since then it has been behaving normally. Strange that battery was at 21%, when it was at 80% when the screen froze. I charged it to 100% then backed up the data while I had it on.
I got about a day of usage out of it, then while I was on a browser scrolling down on a web page, the screen froze again. Battery at 75%. After trying to reset it, the screen went black. Since then, no response on attempts to hard reset.
I have a feeling if I leave it alone for a day and try it it will come back alive.
Doing a search on the net yield nothing except I did see a post someone made saying after the screen froze had to wait till the battery drains 100%, then charge it back up and it will boot again. Is this what is happening? If it's bricked how is it consuming battery?
Anyone has any idea sure would like to hear it.
