My HTC Cruise wont power on

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Last night I was using my phone happily as normal and as happens often when using a cooked ROM it hung on me. I was tired so I just hit the reset button, plugged it into the wall charger and went to sleep. This morning when I pick it up, it was quite warm to hold and wouldn't power on. If I plug it into power (both USB or wall charger) the orange light comes on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. I could get it into the boot loader screen (the four colour screen) and flash the ROM and radio no problems and without it turning off. but as soon as it restarts after installing the ROM or Radio, it shows the HTC splash screen for about 10 seconds and then turns off. I have tried doing the same with the battery taken out, but it does the same (turns off after 10 sec) and I tried (with the battery in) resetting it and then removing the power. When I do the last one, it powers off as soon as i take the cable out.
I can't think of anything else to try. It seems as soon as it starts to load the OS it powers off. Is it broken... like properly broken? did I do the wrong thing by leaving it plugged in while it restarted? Any one please help, I need my phone for work and I have no spare!
Thanks in advance,
J.

try installing official rom

tried 2 official ROMs and no luck. Same thing

looks like it is an HTC Touch Diamond2 for me then I hate money

are you flashing with sd card? if not try that method

the only way i can do that is by leaving it unplugged for 10-20 seconds then plugging it in to AC power. the orange light comes and I quickly hold camera and hit the reset button. It goes to the multi-coloured screen and flashes "no image file!" very fast, then goes to the serial mode. I am following the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384084 I have formatted the SD card and tried 2 ROMs numerous times. Looks like it's dead
It is strange that it will only turn on when it has just been plugged into power and not at all when unplugged. When I leave it in the multi-coloured screen on the AC charger, it gets very warm very quickly... that can't be good.
Amyway I've ordered a Diamond 2 through work, so hopefully i can stick it in a draw and forget about it.

maybe try the wizard service tool. I have one with the same problem. It could be also the battery.

[Q] Bricked phone. Goes into download for just a second.

Ok so I wasn't using my phone but it was turned on. I wake it up to use it and it turns off and starts vibrating every other second. I take the battery off and whenever I put it back in it does the same vibrating thing. It flashes the samsung logo twice and then just goes black and vibrates every second. Can't get into recovery at all. I tried going into download mode but it only goes in for about a second then flashes off. It's sort of like a glitch like display when it flashes off.
Any ideas?

make sure it has a good charge, what happens when u have usb plugged in

I plug the usb in and it just keeps vibrating. Even if I take the battery out and plug the usb in it does the same thing. It only stops when the battery is out and nothing is plugged in.

i think its a low battery, it does weird things when its really low, make sure ur using oem cable and keep it plugged into wall plug, not comp, for a couple of hours, did u read this, could b power button is stuck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716302
with no battery and cable plugged in it just vibrates, will not start

I apologize, I actually opened that thread and skimmed through it. The power button was just stuck internally. I just pushed it down a little harder to get it unstuck.
Phones back up and running. Thanks for the help!

Weird a couple of people have reported this issue now

Moto G turning off itself

It's a long history.
One day, my Moto G stop charging. He charge until 1%, then turn itself on, and when it was on, it wasn't charging. I thought that was a OS/software problem, but nothing was sloving. I send to warranty and there they send me back saying that a piece was oxidated and was my fault, so they can't help me. When the cellphone arrive back, it was charging normaly. I really doesn't understand. But my PC wasn't showing the smartphone when plugged in the USB port. I started to use AirDroid.
I have a little struggle to update to Android 4.4.2 but I did it. The smartphone was really weird, but I let it go. Now I have the most annoying problem. It keep turning off by itself. I don't know if is software/OS, hardware, some app, something I'm doing wrong, but it's driving me crazy.
Please guys, help =[
P.S.: Sorry my bad english.

I had same issue where it turned off on its own and wouldn't charge. I plug cable to wall charger and held power button for 1 minute nothing happened so I kept pressing power button repeatedly until it vibrated and started charging.

So, it's charging normally now, but it keeps turning off itself. Another annoying problems is that it turn itself on when I connect it in the USB port on my PC, but not when I plug on wall charger.

Sorry for the double post, but I'm don't know what to do anymore! Please, someone help me! Any ideas!

Try this
Plug it in
Hold power button for 2-3 mins
Leave it charging for an hour then unplug
Hold power button for 30 seconds it should vibrate and boot

I guess you missing the point: I CAN charge and I CAN turn it on. The problem is that the cellphone keeps turning itself off at random. Random time, in random activites.

Hi are you able to connect the phone to a PC? If so I would transfer important data and then do a factory reset to see if that solves your issue sounds more like a software problem to me.

Already did a Factory Reset (the one in Configuration, the one the Fastboot just normally boot the device) and the problem persist.

So no one can help me? =[

does the phone fades purple then goes crazy then shuts down for a while then turns back on?

It did it when I did something different, trying to turning on or recovery, I don't really remember. I remember that I freaked out, because the screen was black, without changing, than I did a reset (Power + Volume Up) and then it reseted.

You already try charging with wall charger? Maybe your PC don't have enough power to recharge this phone

I was able to charge the phone, Anyway, the device stopped to turning off alone. By itself. I didn't do anything different.
I'm so confused.

Something is shorting out inside, probably due to the said oxidation, which will most likely result in such behavior.
If you know how to do it, just open the phone, take the pcb out and clean it well with a dry contract cleaner and a hard toothbrush to remove any oxidation and possible residue.

Later I was thinking that could be it. So if anything goes wrong, I'll do it or ask to someone with a little more experience to do for me.
Thanks.

Some Moto G's do turn themselves ON when you plug in a charger, I have 2 and both do it - you connect the phone when it is turned OFF and then it turns itself on! Sometimes if I plug in the charger and turn OFF the phone quickly it stays off.
It's a bug / feature / quirk but it's unfortunately normal so you can discount that as being a problem related to your other problem.

I'm having this exact problem too. The phone is less than a month old. Twice this week its happened. Phone was close to fully charged on going to bed, I still checked some emails while it was plugged in.. the charging symbol was also on, so I know it was charging ok when I put it down... then in the morning, wake up, phone is off, but the battery display is showing 100% (The big one shown on screen when it is turned off)
Potentially if I was only using my phone as an alarm, I'd have not woken up. I always use a backup, but now this Moto G worries me!
Seems a few people are having this issue!

Bootloop + Power Menu problem

So today i started having bootloops, it was showing the Powered by Android screen for 2 seconds then booting again over and over for few hours
Now after it somehow got fixed by itself, i managed to turn the phone ON and to clear Cache
So far there are not bootloops anymore
BUT
huge BUT
the phone is poping the Power Menu most of the time, and then every touch on the screen just "presses" on the Shut Down option
If i press on the Power button myself it shut him down automatically ...
EDIT:
Would like to add, that i never unlocked it, it's the regular OTA version.
I doubt a wipe wll help, but i really wont mind if thats the case
Its almost like something pressing the Power button sometimes, but even WITHOUT the back case it still pops that power menu. even if no one is touching it at all it still pops it once in a while, which cause shut downs once in a while ...

So i woke up
The phone is off, i cant turn it on
I charge it for few hours already and still nothing happens the power button doesnt do nothing, it doesnt vibrate
So i connect it to my PC, it shows it as a Marshal something in the device manager but it KEEPS disconnecting and reconnecting every 2 seconds
I have found a "fix ur bricked phone" threads but they all using a tool that needs the phone connected to the PC, well my phone cant stay connected more than 5 seconds for some reason [ different cables, different computers] it keeps on popping in and out

Did you drop your phone in the water or something? Wet or damp from the rain maybe?
And did you try connecting it while in fastboot or recovery mode?

Maybe wet from Humidity but thats all
i cant reach fastboot nor recovery
as now it all black, not turning on not even for a bootloop
This problem happen when the phone is getting wet ? its certainly didn't but maybe i should "fix" it as a wet phone should be fixed? should i open it and dry it out? maybe take the battery out? its not that easy to take it out tho

I had a phone which was wet from the rain, it made the power button faulty. It would randomly turn screen on off like in your case. I took it to the repair shop and they cleaned the insides and it was fine again. If you're sure it's not the rain or anything then maybe that's not the reason, just a guess.
How about plugging in the charger? Does it light up? If it lit up and you cant turn it on after maybe its the power button problem.

plugging the charger doesnt do nothing
Although i got a portable charger with a led , the led turns on when i plug the One, BUT, the led bar doesnt decrease even after few hours, so its like "trying" to charge but not charging anything

Try this from OnePlus Customer Support:
2. Power cycle the One by holding the Power button for 20 seconds 5 times.
3. Attempt to start the phone by holding down the Power button along with the Volume down button to start recovery mode and performing a factory reset.

or hold Power button with the Volumn up button to see if you can get into fastboot mode.

lol bro... seriously.. you really think i didnt try that stuff before opening a thread?
I already scanned the entire web and no one with the same issue have posted a fix thread
one plus doesnt even care about their customers

Is this the guide you said you saw? http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
Why not give it a try? Follow the steps and see if you are able to unbrick your phone.

I mean there's not much you can do if you can't even turn on your device in the first place :/

Sony Xperia Z3 (D6616) - Sudden Death

Was accessing dual recovery to wipe for a clean slate and it had a sudden death. The charging LED was no longer lit. Left the phone alone for about 2 weeks to let it drain but no response. Decided to order another battery for testing thinking it may have been bad, still no response. What I did notice is that if the battery is removed and the charger is connected, the LED blinks red constantly. However, if I were to attach the battery connector the LED will stop blinking after a few seconds. Is this an issue with the motherboard itself or can there something be done to bring it back to life?
*Update*
Let it charge for a couple of hours. Still not turning on but getting some response at least. The phone will now vibrate in sets of 3's if I hold down Power and Volume +. When trying to charge, the red LED will come on for 5 seconds then off every 5 seconds. When connected to the PC, it shows as unidentified USB, but the sound of it being disconnected is constantly going off. Not sure if anyone knows how I should proceed from here...

Hi my phone is a D6603 and i was having a very and inusual problem like you Sudden death with some response vibrating in sets of 3's. My problem was resolve when i remove the sim then press the reset button 2 times in a row but slowly and the phone was starting again
I dont remember if it was or not conected try both ways
Back up your files and start working to keep it warm and dry, remember that it can be water damage. I downloaded minergate and began to mine in easy difficulty so that it would not become slow, but at the same time to keep it warm. It is only to dry if it was damaged by water, I do not recommend anyone to mine with a smartphone xD
