Help...Dead One S will not charge

Help Please. I have been running this Trickdroid for quite some time. And thanks to such great battery life I have never seen my phone under 10%....until yesterday when it ran all the way down and powered it self off. ....now it will not take a charge tried all my different chargers even tried a rapid charger (Nex7 charger) and the charging LED never comes on. Will not even try to light up the screen when you hold the power button. I'm concerned about sending it in via TMO that they will fix it and find i unlocked and rooted it and charge me full price for my replacement. Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else on this ROM? Is there a way to revive it? Thanks.

Hold power button soft keys should light up then release after 3sec but it on charge and leave it there even if light doesn't come on and after awhile the light should come on

Yes mate K1llacannon is right mate i can totally confirm that.
I read from one dude with a HOS he left it sit there a full night with the charger connected and after that he could use it again. Apparently, the light will come on eventually but it will take a while until the battery has enough juice to boot the phones charging electronics. Before that, it will take power but show no indicator.
Also, i suppose it is some sort of emergency circuit that charges in the beginning and it is only charging at some minimum rate or something like that so it takes a while...

Thanks guys for the reply....I have tried this and the keys never flash and I left it plugged in all night last night and then again all morning on a different charger and still nothing,....ugh.
It now does do this when plugged into the PC: The PC will do the "durp drup" like its connected then do the tone again as if its not connected again. This cycle just keeps going. I tried to do some adb but keeps saying no device.

Try fastboot devices, adb only works when phone on and USB debugging enabled and in recovery sometimes. If it shows your device then maybe try fastboot reboot recovery or something.
My first One S was completely dead on arrival, no sign of life after charging it for 24 hrs straight with original charger (tested charger OK) and holding PWR for 10, 30 seconds and longer. Got a new one no questions asked. Not that this is necessarily the same problem you're having since yours have been running but then again I'd guess they at least test all phones so they start at factory...

Xoom US Wifi: Appears dead

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Xoom Wifi (US, original). It's running Jelly Bean and is unrooted, locked, and stock everything. It won't turn on.
Today, I was charging the Xoom, it was on and at 15% battery life. Later, when it around 45-50%, I unplugged it and let it be on standby. Later, I returned to it and it was unresponsive with a blank screen. I don't know if it was on at that point. However, at one point I noticed that the screen was backlit (but still showing black), and holding down the power and one or both of the volume keys for a few seconds turned the Xoom off. Since that point, I have been unable to turn it on.
Status of Xoom:
- Charging appears to work. White LED showed when charging, then later changed to green.
I've tried the following:
- Waiting for Xoom to charge (LED to turn green), and holding down the power button for a few seconds; holding down the power button for a minute, holding down the power and volume up for a few seconds as well as up to a minute, holding down power, and volume down for up to a minute, as well as all three buttons. I've tried these steps while plugged into AC as well as not plugged in.
- I've also removed the battery for at least a few minutes before reinstalling it and tried the above steps for trying to turn it on.
ETA: - Also tried removing microSD card.
It still doesn't seem to be turning on.
What are my options?
Thanks.

Can you access the device via fastboot or adb?

I'm not sure if my fastboot is set up correctly. I'm having difficulty using it on my Mac running Mountain Lion (getting (ERROR: could not get pipe properties), when I'm doing the ./fastboot devices command)
However, when I run "./adb devices", I can see my Galaxy Nexus as an attached device when it's connected, but not my Xoom. I've tried holding down all combinations of power+Volume before running the command.
ETA:
Okay, got fastboot working by rebooting my phone into bootloader mode. I can get my Galaxy Nexus to show up when doing ./fastboot devices, but I can't get my Xoom to show up. Note that the only output from my Xoom right now appears to be the charging LED light that is usually white, but turns green after a few minutes being plugged in.

Am no expert but if your charging it with a white light then a few minutes later it goes green the problem might be your battery has died completely (just a thought)

I don't think this is the case. Green indicates that the battery is fully charged. When it died, the battery was about 50% full. It took a few hours for the battery to charge that the light to turn green. Now when I plug it in, it is initially white and then turns Green after a few minutes, indicating that the computer thinks that the battery is full.
Does anyone have ideas? Would getting/creating the special diagnostic motorola USB cable be of any help? How can I diagnose what's wrong? I don't mind disassembling the device if it would help.
I usually have limited access to parts, but I will be visiting the US in a few days so if you have ideas for useful parts that I can order that might help let me know.
Thanks.

Do you got any response when you connect the XOOM to your MAC with standard USB cable?
Can you try it on Windows PC?
If nothing response, try to connect with "factory cable".
P.S. I bricked my XOOM, it's only recognized as APX device. After I installed drivers, It could be recognized as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices". And then nvflash command could be executed and got some response. I hope I could got progress, but I still stuck here. All indicated that I need original "bootloader.bin", and BCT and config files. I also try to send it to different MOTO local service centers, they told me that maybe I damaged the hardware(?), if I want to repair it, the motherboard must be replaced. Anyway, hopes this information could finds you. And if you solved your problem, please just let me know how. Thanks in advance.

Well, my Xoom did the same thing as described in the OP last night. Power button was unresponsive but could charge. Googled around and found that many people fixed this issue by pressing volume up + power for a few seconds. Tried it and worked. Xoom booted up, and I gave a sigh of relief.

I feel you pain
I'm having the exact same problem that Lyrrad0 initially reported.I couldn't describe it any differently. It's great to see someone else is experiencing the same thing. A lot of posts that i see mention doing the power button + Volume up button fix, but this doesn't work for me and sounds like it doesn't work for Lyrrad0 either.
Like Lyrrad0 i also think the battery is fully charged. I saw a few chipsets that i could buy but it would be annoying if it didn't fix the problem still and i had wasted my cash.
Just wondering if Lyrrad0 tried to replace any parts? If so did they fix your problems?

[Q] Phone won't charge, no LED, USB makes on/off sounds but won't recognize device

Hello! Last night, my phone died while I was out. When I got home, I plugged it into the wall charger and I noticed the LED didn't come on. I left it charging overnight for about 6 hours and tried to turn it on - no luck. I read on another topic that you needed to charge it to ~2% through USB for it to begin charging on the wall if it's "too" dead, so I left it on my laptop for an hour but again with no luck. I did notice that my laptop couldn't recognize a device though, and since my phone was the only thing plugged in, it means my phone was 'on'. I held the power button and the device disconnected, held the power button again, the unknown device reconnected. So my phone is turning on and off, so I wondered it was my screen. I turned it on, but no sounds worked when I messed with the volume button, so I'm going to rule the screen out. Despite being able to turn 'on', I can't get into recovery and it won't truly turn on.
I'm rooted and unlocked, running a version of PA, though I haven't updated it in some months and haven't downloaded anything other than a picture or two to my phone recently, so I don't think I've bricked it or anything.
I've never used ADB or fastboot or anything like that, so if there's a solution through that I'd be happy to try it out. If there's anything I forgot to mention, please tell me!
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

This has happened to some people. It seems like going completely dead can somehow corrupt something in the firmware in rare cases.
Open Device Manager and plug in your phone, then see what pops up. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, your phone has bricked, but it may be fixable. Check into the Unbricking Evita thread and see if the guys there can help.
Failing that, get a warranty exchange.

Try different button combinations (hold power, or hboot combination) while the phone is plugged into the wall charger. At least one person I was trying to help, got his phone to power on this way, when nothing else seemed to work.

Sounds like you're phone is in qdl mode. i second trying the unbricking thread.

HTC One S turned off and will not turn on

This is a HTC One S unlocked and rooted with CM 10. Last night I was using the phone and out of nowhere powered off. I plugged it into wall charger and when I went this morning to turn it on I got nothing. The orange light indicating charging does not turn on. I have tried holding every variation of the power button with other buttons getting nothing. When I connect to PC the device is not detected. As of recently every time I connect the phone to the usb or to the wall outlet, the camera's flash stays on. As soon as I disconnect the phone the flash goes off. If I hold the power button while connected via usb or wall charger the flash will turn off after 10 seconds but once I let go it comes right back on and this does nothing to turn the phone on, the whole time its black. any tips?

update any time I plug the phone into the computer or wall charger the camera light comes on and stays on while plugged in. The charge light does not come on and the pc does not recognize a device is connected. The only thing I can think of to try is to take apart phone and take out the battery, but I do not have the proper tools maybe walmart eye glass repair kit may work with with a razor.

Edit: took apart phone and disconnected battery and still nothing. just the camera flash on when plugged in via wall or usb! Any help guys!
Edit #2: took the phone apart completely there was nothing out of the ordinary and not damage of any kind. Put the phone back together and nothing. It's as if the phone has lost all of its software because it doesn't respond to the power button or any button as if the phone doesn't have a command for the button pushes. The only thing that has life is the camera flash that comes on when phone is plugged into a power source that's it.

I am sure the price of repair would not be worth the phone and there's no warranty

Never heard of this problem. You might want to try holding the power button down?

Update: out of nowhere I have the orange blinking light and the computer recognizes the device as a USB Composite Device. the phone does not power on nor will it go to the bootloader, Is there anyway to turn on the phone with the computer?
well fastboot does not recognize the phone and I tried updating the drivers and that didn't help. phone blinks orange and connects as a USB composite device but cannot power the phone on or access anything on it.

Hm, difficult.
You could try these commands in order:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If it doesn't answer keep it loading for 24 hours or at least over night and then retry. Else it is bricked.

seems to be bricked, it does not come up under devices and fastboot sits at the waiting prompt. well this sucks how random to brick while normal usage

Is my Nexus5 dead or only its battery?

Howdy!
My phone doesn't work anymore, and I try to assess what's going on. I searched before posting, and I decided to post here because I found mixed answers.
Context:
I bought my phone in January 2014. I took extra care of it, it has never fallen on the ground from high, no scratch, nothing. Regarding the battery, I tried as much as possible to charge when it was close to 0%, I wasn't a heavy user of my phone, and I was turning off a lot of things so that the battery would not deplete quickly (Wifi, localisation, Bluetooth, auto-typing, et cetera...).
However, recently (the last month), I was feeling the battery was weak, depleting more quickly than before. I also felt the phone was warmer than usual. Sometimes the phone would turn off suddenly when I was short on battery (under 15%) and using a "heavy" feature (photography with flash, video game).
A week ago, the phone suddenly turned off, never to turn on again. The phone died. I was just typing a message, the phone was charging and the battery was around 60%. I was surprised.
As of today, the phone doesn't turn on. Plugged on a wall outlet or on the USB port of my computer is the same.
I tried many combination of buttons to fastboot, reboot, reset, or whatever, nothing sparked any life in my phone. (I tried holding power key for 30s+, 15s+ ; I tried holding power key + volume up for 15s+ ; power key + volume down ; power key both volume ; in fact whatever combination I could read here on XDA forums, on Reddit, on Google Forums...).
My first insight was: it's just the battery. I can buy one off the internet, and voilà!
However, when I plug the Nexus 5 on my computer via USB, the computer reacts with the sounds when you connect something. Is it just the battery then?
At first, it was saying: "QHS_USB BULK", and the computer was trying to install whatever to make that peripheral work.
When it was done, it read "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) has been correctly installed.
Hum, okay.
Still, nothing shows in the peripheral.
I continue to hear the plug in plug out sound when I... plug in and out my phone in the computer, but that's the only thing.
With all that, I can't really tell if all the phone is dead, something grilled inside or I don't know what; or if it's just the battery that is dead and the phone is unreachable and unrecognizable when "there is no battery" in it.
I'm not sure if I shall invest money into buying a new battery.
Do you guys can light my lantern on that matter?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Cheerio!

If I may just address a little bump on this very subject of particular interest to myself :3
Cheerio!

Any insights on this? mine´s doing the same. Doesn´t turn on or go into bootloader, when i connect to charge it red light blinks for like 10 sec and then goes off. Nothing happens after hours of charge.
Did you try replacing the battery as you mention on the post?

Sorry, but have to say this with caps: BLINKING RED NOTIFICATION LED MEANS ITS DEAD BATTERY. Can't be 100% sure, but usually it means that the phone doesn't have enough power to boot up. Mine did this when it drained to the absolute 0%
edit: There can be other problems with power going to phone, but if you are lucky its just the battery.

So i changed the battery. When i plugged it to charge no red lights came on, just the typical white battery with the light bolt appeared for a few seconds, after that it went on with screen off (or at least i thought it did). After 3 h of uninterrupted power charge i went to turn it on. Nothing happened. Can´t turn it on or go into bootloader.
Nothing happens on my pc when i plug it. No sound and nothing on Device manager (no drivers for nexus 5 installed, don´t know if that matters for windows to recognize it as any device even if its not as android device).
Edit: yeah, i got enlightened and literally unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it worked like charm. I get stuck on the intro animation but i can get into bootloader and recovery just fine. Just gonna install those drivers and flash something. right? Thanks to everyone that read and even more to those who replied!

Yeah, search from youtube how to flash factory image nexus 5. It should make it work. And try to find video with using adb instead of toolkit, adb is way more stable/trustable. (ADB is the android debug bridge, it may look like very hard and confusing but in the end its just typing 1 command and it flashes everything needed) If you need help in flashing the image, just ask!
Try this, it installs only tools needed for adb (also drivers) http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-platform-tools-adb-fasbootdrivers-t3061441
Edit: This should work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ka5dnPghzI
