[Q] Phone Bricked?

I am using Virtuous Butterfly with the kernel that came with the ROM. I was trying to check my Whatsapp when i realised it wont reload, i tried to turn off wifi and it also wont turn off so I decided to restart the phone by pressing the restart button. I went to take a shower and came back with the thing at the boot screen. I tried the hold down power and volume down trick but it just wont restart this time!
I tried to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing happened, I unplugged the cable and it is still stuck on the screen. When I press the power button, the screen will turn off and when I press it again, it will turn on, just like standby mode. I am downloading the RUU now and I will try to flash it, hope that works! If not I will just wait for the battery to die and try to charge it and boot it up again.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Cuz the power and volume down thing just wont work and the phone doesnt have a removable battery

Stay push on the power button instead it restart (with holding the low volume button), the leds will blink and it will boot on bootloader.

I had a similar experience with my first One X (International) slept in the afternoon and woke up an hour later for it to be stuck at HTC welcome screen, at first I could enter bootloader, but no RUU available at the time for recovery, it eventually wouldn't even start after charging to full, just black screen....
I was told my motherboard was bad....
Anyway I hope its not the same for you, try charging to green light and turn on. If you can get to bootloader try reinstalling RUU if possible...

Now the phone wont even start after the battery died No LED when charging no response when pushing power button. Only response is when I hold power and down, the buttons would blink. Is it doomed?

stay your phone on charge for 1 hour and stay push on the power button (it should start after the blinking)

Thank you! It saved my phone! Its now booting properly and I can go to fastboot and recovery without any problems, I wonder what happened though.

I am glad to see it worked.
You know what to do if it happens again now.

[Q] HTC one S wont start, no blinking, no led

Hi guys !
My HTC One S died yesterday just before going to bed.
It was 10% battery, I used it for 10-15mn and it went down to 3% and then 1% and shut down just before I plug it to the wall charger.
I let it there for 5mn and tried to power it on but nothing happened. I noticed that the charging led was not even working.
I let it overnight charging and this morning, still nothing. I tried to enter bootloader with power+volume down, nothing happen
This morning, I tried :
- 2 hours usb charging, not detected by the computer, no led, won't start even in bootloader
- 2 hours wall charger charging. Still no led, won't start
Any idea on what to try ?

Ok, simulated battery pull.
hold the phone under bright light (sensor see's the light and allows to power on, something about a feature to prevent resetting while the phone is in your pocket). press power button, press and hold power button if that doesn't work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe it is locked up, and really has been charging. Press and hold power button for 10 seconds.
Some have had success pulling the sim card, and then pressing the power button. Then when it turns on reinserting sim card.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory Reset option: would erase phone storage though.
If you can’t turn HTC One S on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC One S.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Others have switched to trying to charge it connected to USB port and have it suddenly come back to life after a while.

Thanks for the answer

Will try this one !
In fact it really looks like it's dead : no led, nothing happen when I let it charge (it's not even hot) and nothing happen when I push all the possible buttons combinations :crying:

Read my post. Try to do with linux first.

Htc one s wont turn on!!

I rooted my HTC ONE S ( EUROPE ) a couple of months ago, everything was fine until yesterday when I went to unlocked my phone from my lock menu it and it displayed a message on my phone screen saying "hold power button or phone will shut down in 3 seconds" by the time i had realised that that message was there it had one second, so it turned off by itself and it wont come back on, it wont let me into recovery or the bootloader because the screen wont come on!! I've tried volume down and power and it doesnt work, the only thing it displays is a solid orange LED light when i put my phone on charge and my computer doesnt recognise it when i plug it into it? I cant contact my service provider ( o2 ) because i void the warrenty when i rooted. HELP?

Full charge your phone, unplug it and try again.

My phone used to do a really annoying thing when it ran out of batteries. The next time I went to turn it on I had to hold the power button for about 20 seconds. After the first 5 seconds, the soft-keys would start to flash. They continue to flash as you hold the power button. Then, after a while they stop flashing and the phone boots up. Like I said, it takes a while. Just keep holding the power button if you see the soft-keys flashing.
That doesn't seem to be a problem now that I'm on Beanstalk 4.4.

[Q] Phone not turning on.

Hello XDA users,
Yesterday my phone started showing some issue's I had to restart my phone in order for the screen to turn on.
But rightnow my screen does not turn on at all anymore. If i charge my phone the red LED lights up and after a few hours the green LED lights up when my phone is full.
If tried it with my ANKER and stock HTC battery. When i hold down the power button my phone vibrate once and the lights behind the buttons and the bottom light up but it doesn't boot.
I have tried getting my phone into recovery but thats not working either.
Anyone could help me out?

Z5 hard bricked? Xposed?

So, phone was working great for a while. After the Camera 2.0 was working with xposed, I decided to flash xposed. Right after installing it, it started randomly rebooting, a lot. Like, whenever anything intensive was happening. About couple days later, I decided it wasn't worth it anymore and I ran the xposed uninstaller and cleared the caches.
It booted up okay. The launcher was pretty sluggish though. I opened up an app and I just got a black screen. Nav buttons were still there along with the status bar. Nav buttons were non responsive. Status bar could be pulled down though. I clicked settings, just to do something. Settings also didn't open. I hit the power button to do a restart, and selected restart. It just hung there for a couple of minutes. I forced a shutdown with Vol Up + Power. It did the three short vibrates and powered down.
Now, it won't power back up. Literally non responsive. It doesn't get to the Sony logo, it doesn't vibrate, screen doesn't turn on, and no LED status light comes on. I plug it into the charger, and no status light comes on. I tried Vol Up + Power again, and still nothing. I can't get it into fastboot or flash mode, or have it give any indication that it is alive. I tried pressing and holding the power off button by the SIM tray and get absolutely nothing.
Any ideas?

Have you held the power button for an extremely long time, like 15 seconds or so?

I'm not an expert in this area but I'd try to get to a windows computer and see if you can get the Sony software to recognize it. Might be able to reflash or repair

FOR ME, XPOSED ALWAYS DAMAGED SONY STOCKROM BEYOND REPAIR SO I ALWAYS HAD TO REFLASH,
but with you it seems extreme
1. holdin power and volume up button for 15 seconds should jerk device thrice and you device will go in to shutdown mode. try connecting to flashmode now
2. if (1) isn't working then old sony ion trick might do the magic, rubber band your z5 across screen horizontaly in a way that volume DOWN BUTTON is pressed for atleast 8+ hourse (over night) , this will DRAIN your battery fast and let motherboard clear the code. then put it to wall charger for over night! after 1+ day it should start giving you RED led / blink which means battery is extremely low. later you will get constant red led and finally you will come to stage where no led will be present. AT this point unplug and try connecting you device to FLASHMODE
3. Also remove sim tray during this process and next to SIM tray there is RESET button (musshy black or yellow soft button) , should be pressed with some soft pointy material ( see attached foto of my z5p)
