If you do a battery pull then plug it into the charger then put battery back does the notification led go red?

yes....

that happened to em and from what i read on the forums there's nothing you can do but replace it. Verizon wont know its rooted since it wont even turn on.

^this. verizon cant deny a new phone if they check if its rooted.

This happened to me.. all I had to do was leave the phone on the charger for fifteen minutes and it worked. Same thing happened to some guys with the T-Mobile version and that's how they solved it.

This happened to me. My phone had been rooted and I had pushed some apps to the system, but I had not used any custom roms or kernels at all. After my small modifications my phone worked for a month or so. Out of the blue while using navigation, it died and would no longer turn on. It would boot into recovery or download mode only when on the charger. If I left it on the charger for a long period then it would boot to the homescreen sometimes but then turn off very quickly. I tried all I could through odin to fix it. Since I could boot to the homescreen sometimes, I could see that odin had returned my phone to stock and my flash counter was still at 0. Still would never boot into any mode when off the charger. I had to return to verizon for a refurb as I believe it is a hardware issue imo.

** UPDATE** I dont know how but i managed to get my phone into download mode by holding only vol down and home while plugged into computer. I was able to odin back to stock using *how to unbrick a soft brick* yaaayyyyyy!!!!! i got my phone back...now to re-root but this time i wont wipe internal sd card..lol
It wont let me post link to form....but hope this might help anyone else with what i would like to call a medium brick like mine
SO if your notification light comes on (red) when battery is out and plugged into computer try holding ONLY vol down and home to get into download mode...it worked for mine

What the hell did i do?

Okay, so i had Infused 2.3.0 (i think that was the number, it's the latest one anyway). I followed the instructions to the T. I had no issues.
About 3 or 4 days later i woke up and my phone had 1% battery. I sent a text, and then locked the phone. I came back to plug it in, and tried to see if it had any battery. None, it was dead. No biggie. I plug it in, and i get the circle loading thing. Then the battery symbol appears (charging). Then the phone goes black and the circle loading thing appears again. Then it keeps restarting. and going back to the circle loading thing. Over... and Over... Then i tried charging it for a while to see if the battery was just really low. No dice.
I put my girlfriends battery from her infuse 4g and it had 90%. Did the same thing. Circle loading thing, restart, circle loading thing, etc. Then i tried to put it into recovery. No dice, it would just keep restarting. Sometimes the Samsung logo would appear, and then it would just restart samsung, black screen, samsung, black screen, then eventually back to the circle.
I got it in red recovery ONCE, i was able to scroll down twice, and then the phone restarted. I couldn't get it back into red recovery.
I thought i had bricked my phone somehow. So i tried to use GTGs unbrick. I loaded it up fine (i'd done it with my girlfriends phone before to restore it to stock). It took me about 15 tries to get it into download mode. It was in download mode for long enough so that the program recognized it, and it started the download to restore it, then the phone turned off.
Now the phone won't even turn on. I can't put it in download mode, i can't put it into recovery, i can't get it to do ANYTHING.
What the hell did i do? What caused the original issue?

Does your phone still have warranty?
What the hell didn't you do.
Ok well first of all it is not Infused 2.3 it is 2.2.3. Anyway that is not the point, did you have juice defender installed? I do not think it could have done anything, but maybe. What is the latest app/tweak/anything you installed? Finally, have you tried holding both volume buttons and power button when trying to turn it on? This problem you are having seems extremely odd. Try plugging it in.

2.2.3, thanks. I was too lazy to look it up. No, I didn't have juice defender. I used Lookout, that's all.
The latest thing I installed was the 2.2.3 update for Infused. I updated Pandora, and that's all.
Yes, i've done that with the volume buttons.

Yes. Won't turn on.
Well, best thing you can do now is see what ATT can do about it. The worst that can happen is they say they can not do anything, which you then can keep trying the ultimate unbrick over again. This helped someone on an earlier thread.
Same thing happened to me. Take the battery out. Make sure USB cable is unplugged. Hold down both up and down volume buttons plug in USB into ur phone and PC and put battery back in. This will put you in download mode and it will stick do u can return to stock. Good luck

I'll try this again, but it didn't work last time. No matter what i did.
EDIT:
Tried again multiple times. It just won't turn on.
I think you have a hardware failure of some sort... Take it back to AT&T for warrany service.
You probably didn't do anything to it - just bad luck and coincidence.

He tried everything I did. Download mode. New battery. Nadda
got my replacement today. all is well. now to root

dead battery, & thats it...

im running a miui build from abt 2 weeks ago, idk how relevant that is... BUT i let my phone discharge completely til it died. now when its on the charger, it boots to the miui screen, sometimes even the lockscreen, then craps out. i get that the battery is too low to hold a charge, but wat can i do? i tried charging in download mode, but it eventually reboots. custom roms wont allow us to charge the phone while off, so anyone have any suggestions, as i am in this constant bootloop????????
Sounds like you need a new battery, the phone is supposed to shutdown long before there is damage to the battery but a completely discharged lithium battery may never take a charge again, but if you can't charge with the phone off then you may have other issues.
Id hop on Ebay and find a replacement battery. Them work from there

This is my experience i am on miui also and the other day I had the same thing happen and I just did the three button trick to boot into recovery and left it in recovery for about 15-20 mins then reboot and it started to charge. Hope this helps.
Yikes, I guess ill have to remind myself to never let my battery deplete. Although I thought it was recommended to let battery cash in at least once per month.

howd you get it to boot into recovery? when it boots, it goes straight from the circular dotted charging/loading symbol to my miui boot animation, NO samsung screen so i dont know when to let go of the power. ive tried at random times, but no dice. i dont have enough juice to unplug, boot into CWM, then replug

Pull and replace the battery and Hold both volume buttons and the power button at same time.... Phone will reboot, once you see samsung splash screen let go of power button while still holding both volume buttons and cwm should come up.
I Should have said while being plugged in. Mine was via usb

i never got to the samsung screen, but your first suggestion worked. when it booted to the lockscreen, i quickly unlocked, turned off wifi, gps, and adjusted screen brightness, then i wa able to boot into recovery and let it charge a minute... thanks for ur help & to the other the guy that tried
I've had this happen also with a totally discharged battery and CM7. Booted to download mode and wiped with Odin, reflashed CM7.
I had this happen with CM7 a couple weeks ago. A couple guys asked if I was using the actual Samsung charger and pointed out that it has some charging internals that work with a low battery situation that other chargers may not have.
So, were you using the Samsung charger or another USB power source?

Dead Phone

Well the thing is..i've been using my HTC ONE S for a while now...
Then after a while i tried to root my phone via recovery.
I unlocked the bootloader successfully since when i boot on bootloader my phone said on the top of the screen "UNLOCKED".
Then when i tried to get to recovery...it was stuck on entering recovery..nothing happened.
Installed CWM v6 touch and non-touch same results.
I was going to try TWRP but i went to bed.
Next morning during the day my phone ran out of battery. i mean 0%
i tried to turn it on when i leave it on the charger like an hour.
after an hour the pone didnt boot up..it just dead.
the pc doesnt recognize it at all...the charger makes a "bip" everytime i plug in the phone the led blinks a couple of times before fade again
tried hard/soft reset, tried to put it on bootloader, pressed Vol - and Power button, i keep em pressed for like a minute and nothing happened.
It doesnt show up a Qualcomm dispositive. i mean is not bricked, i never installed a custom ROM/RUU/
he worked like a charm the entired day before ran out of battery.
Tried to replug the battery nothing happened same results.
Sometimes when i tryed to only press the power button the screen flash a bit and then dies.
At the end i let the phone the entire night charging(more than 12hours)
Same results......
my phone doesnt have warranty....

Run the OEM RUU first ( you need to know what network the phone is locked too and choose the matching RUU, should you have a few options to choose from then choose the highest number or latest version, if it's unlocked choose the HTC RUU again the latest or highest definition).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
If all else fails ...
Send it back to HTC service centre. Best outcome they'll repair it for free, worst outcome they will tell you how much it'll cost to be repaired and if you choose not to repair then you have to pay P&P for device to be returned. The choice is yours!
Hope that helps.

When you mean you tried to replug the battery, does it mean you were able to open the casing of your oneS? It seems your problem is you have a bad battery, or else your battery is dead.

Is all because of a bug on CWM....TWRP the best!

Could very well be that the phone has already been updated to 5.1.1. That may be the reason that you can't flash OE2. Did you try flashing the 5.1.1 firmware?

also which file is the 5.1.1 firmware?

Power off phone, hold volume up, home, power buttons. It will go to a blue screen. Wait a bit. It can take a few.
oh ****. so it looks like the battery is at 0 percent. right when i hit factory reset, i unplug the cable and then it shows 0% battery and a picture to plug in my phone. but whenever i plug in my phone it bootloops with the blue screen!!!
can i charge phone in maintenance mode or download mode? i also have a wireless charger but that loops to the blue screen as well

Might just have to get a new battery.
So, you are saying that the phone will not power down correctly in maintenance mode when you volume down to "power off device" and hit the home button?

i dont think its the physical battery, i think its a software glitch or brick. its stuck in a bootloop so it wont charge
if i could get some juice on it maybe that would let me flash via odin.

I Google it and found where it would charge. Leave it hooked up in download mode. If it still doesn't charge (probably take a lot longer) it is problem the physical battery. Just like a car, a bad battery won't accept a charge.
ok im download mode now and I'm letting it sit on the charger! I'll go back to it after letting it sit for an hour.
only reason i didnt think it was the physical battery was because i couldnt get to a mode where I could charge! it was stuck in the bootloop

No, that is the screen you goto before you go to stock recovery. Also, as you are downloading via odin, though at that time it will have a progress bar on it as well.

I think I would try a battery. Most people want at least 50% on their battery when they odin.
