hi guys...
i have this problem... i think i've flashed my mini too many times or something, my last flash was WWE_11200_550_11200... and it went flat liner, dead.... totally... can't on it now, can't bring it to boot loader or what so ever... is there any method to bring it back to life? pls help...
there's no led appearing when i'm charging... but when i removed the battery cover, the led turns red... that happens also when i remove the battery and put the back cover back on...
man... am i screwed or what...
Assuming you have tried leaving out the battery over night, etc, etc- Your device will need to be sent to the service center.
Had the same thing happen to me back in July- I think the bootloader was corrupted.
I replied to a similar problem only a few days ago.
i think you're right... so is there anyway i can fix the bootloader?
I'm not aware of any utility available to public for repairing the Magician bootloader.
I think there is one for the Blue Angel- I tried that one in vain but no joy.
As long as your device is in warranty, you shouldn't have much of a problem.
thanks man... i guess have no other choice but to send it back...
cheers..
I have have had this happen to me twice now,
left the battery out for 5-6 hours then re-inserted it (with the back cover on, m500 has a quirky switch that the cover pushes down) and then held the buttons down to place it into bootloader mode (held down until it appeared)
good luck
Imp
pls give me more details... cos if i'm sending it back for repair, i will need to post it oversea... that will be my last resort...
im having the same problem..
as far as i can tell the battery is just completely flat..
however without a working ROM the unit will not charge the battery..
thats what i believe anyways

Might be cheaper to purchase a battery, perhaps it comes charged?
Hi guys,
Was sitting watching TV with my phone beside me for about an hour, it was working fine with about half charge.
I then went to make a call and the phone was off...
I tried to turn it on and nothing, I soft reset the phone, nothing... I hard reset the phone, nothing... I removed and reinserted the battery and nothing...
I plugged the phone in to charge just incase the battery had magically drained, the orange charge light appeared for about 3 seconds then went off... No life whatsoever...
O2 are replacing it with a door to door thursday but I have a flashed rom installed and cant replace the original... Think I'll be ok?
What might have happened to the phone, its never been dropped or water damaged!! Anyone else had this problem? This is my 2nd orbit, the first one was replaced due to the jog dial falling off!
Cheers,
Biscuitboy
I've had my phone just a few days and exactly the same things happened to me. I'm getting it replaced over the next few days. A little worried that it may happen again. Without knowing what may be a possible cause or if it's just poor quality build that maybe to blame.
Would be interested if anyone has any light they can shed on this
Same has happened to me but I have a charge light.
What was the prob with your two did you ever find out?

Hi guys.
They did try to reflow the proc. solders? Some drops of LiquidFlux and heating with HotAir pencil.On P3300 is helped!
try to use another battery,if no work,seems nothing could help
Alright well im new to this site so bare with me... I have an Rooted Htc Evo (if helps any) with no other type of ROMs( if helps any ha). I let my phone die completely while i was texting, now it wont turn back on. I cant do a Hard Reset (Volum down+power) because my phone does not response in any way. Oh and when I charge it the little Red led light at the top wont come on! My Question is.. Has anybody else ever had this Problem and if so Please, Please HELP...!!
Another thing, i dont want to take it to sprint because i heard you can get in trouble for having a rooted fone or sum like that! Ive tried taking battery out+ letting it sit for about 3hrs without it... battery in the freezer... hard reset ( but does not respond in any way... letting it charge ( evn without the little light on, and i know theres nothing wrong with the charger or the little port to the phone)

Yea man, I am in the same boat as you right now. Phone has been working awesome for the year that I had it. This morning I downloaded peggle from the amazon app store, started the app, shot one ball and the phone powered off.
No dice on the power lights. No booting. The closest I can get is the white screen that says HTC Evo on it. It flashes on for a split second and then dies out again.
I am assuming the phone is bricked? Probably headed to Best Buy tonight to have it swapped out. I have my insurance through them.
Hello everyone, yesterday evening, return home and I realize that the cell is turned off, think "will discharge the battery," put in office, at which point the LED turns on and off then after 5 / 6 flashes then stays on for 5 seconds back other to blink 3 times and then turn off everything completely but the phone does not want to re-ignite. I tried to remove battery and was in charge all night but nothing to do, no signs of life.
anyone have any ideas?
though unfortunately had to serve as a service bought in germany sensation with vodafone branding, those who contact the warranty?
thanks to all who will be able to give me a help
Sorry for English greetings
Which clock work mod are you running? some people are having trouble charging while the phone is turned off because of clock work mod, you will need to buy a new battery or charge the battery in another sensation long enough so you can turn the phone on and charge it. Hope this helps!

+1 My thoughts exactly. Currently using CWM 5.0.1.0 and have no problems. Died out the battery completely and was able to pull a charge and have it show via LED.
Hello and thanks for your response, recovery, if I remember correctly is 4.1 and something.
SOLVED! for all to hear:
I took a cable "that I had the ugliest" I cut and I got the black and red wires, attached to the battery manually "on the red positive" and "negative black" to give a little charge and after a while I put battery in the phone is finally on again ....

I tried everything posted on forums to get my sensation out of the blinking orange light issue and the one above this post was my solve, just give that battey a little impuls with 5Volts and it will wake up again.GREAT!
Ghalba, youre my hero!
Blinking orange light issue by some chance while you had CWM flashed did you check if after the Orange LED would blink the Flashlight would kinda flash as well ?
Hi guys.
so just picked up my phone (was connected to charger) to realize that is dead! the screen is totally black,no charging/notification lights and touch buttons are not illuminated and wont power on or take a charge. tried to connect to pc but adb keeps saying "waiting on device" and thats it.
the phone is unlocked,rooted, jmz TWRP recovery and cm11.....has been running fine for the past week.
it appears to have died a sudden death....any ideas guys ???
cheers
EDIT: dunno what the hell happened as nothing was turning it back on BUT after after holding down power button and volume down for about a minute the damn thing booted up SORTED!!

Can you get into recovery mode?
Hi,
I have the exact same problem.
I cannot get into recovery. I tried Power + Vol. Up but that did not work (yet).
Did you leave it plugged into the wall charger while doing this, Braddison?
Also it does not show up on PC.

If I remember correctly I had it on charge and held down power and vol up. It did take a couple of minutes continuously holding down the buttons. Been fine ever since
If that fails try power and volume down for about 30seconds, I'm sure that's meant to hard reset phone
Thanks for your quick answer. I will try once more.
Same dead HTC One Mini here...two days ago the phone suddenly turned off (with somewhat of 80%-90% battery) and since then its dead. No LED, no charging, it even doesnt get warm when its being plugged into the charger. Pressed Power+Volume down (plugged or non-plugged) more than 2 minutes, and also Power+Volume Up more than two minutes.
adb shows no device. If i plug the phone into an USB-slot in a linux-machine dmesg doesnt says anything. So its dead or not? Since its not more than a half year old it should have warranty, but i think i wont get my photos and stuff. So this is an advioce to myself: never ever buy a phone without micro-sd-slot again!!!
cheers, jennix

I would try again after putting on charge for a few hours, ensuring that power and volume down are pressed simultaneously. i have read that its best to do this while in a bright room or shining a torch on the sensor, seems strange i know but its worth a try
good luck

Its a bit esoteric, isnt it? But nevertheless i tried it (at least the bright room) but it doesnt work. I will send it to T-Mobile and then i will hope that they didnt find that it has a CM11 on it...
thx, jennix
hi all,
while hanging on the phone for a few minutes, it switched off.!

No, dont have an advice. My Mini One is dead and it seems to stay so But can it be that all dead Minis in this thread are flashed with CM11?

Could be. But did even leaving the phone of the charger for a few days so the battery totally dies, and then recharging not work?
thanks anyways:cyclops:
hi all,
i got rid of the problem by going to my carrier. (a1 - vodafone, austria)
htc fixed it on guarantee (although i flashed a cm11-nightly)
the problem was: a damaged mainboard, which got replaced - took about two weeks..
cheers, and good luck..

thanks! Just sent mine to HTC, hope they fix it within warranty. Can I ask if ur data on the internal SD is stil intact or did you lose it all? And again someone with cm11 installed. Anyone with Sense had the same problem?
I have the exactly same problem, my phone was rooted with CM11 nightly when it died. I sent it to my carrier, but now they want me to pay 200$ for a new motherboard, because they found it was rooted and the warranty is voided. Even when I pay 200$, i still will have no warranty. And I had more than 1 year left. Is there a problem with CM11? How comes that they replace it for some people for free, and for some not? Please, give me a tip how to proceed and do I really have any options from this point?
These horror stories make me wanna stick to stock based roms. I'm a big fan of CM, but not if there's a chance it could fudge my mainboard.. real shame
or is this another example of another design fault with this phone?....

As they have to replace the motherboard it is an hardware issue, where I live rooting doesnt void warranty if there is an hardware issue. They have to give you warranty. Could you ask your carrier what exactly caused it and why the motherboard had to be replaced?

Hey. I sent it directly to AVARTO (service center here in Germany) they too wanted to charge me (around $ 240). Then I asked what exactly the problem was and they revised their statement. Sent it back for free within warranty. On the repair sheet it than said "not turning on. constantly".
Hi.
Another dead mini. S-OFF, TWRP, CM11.
