I'm really desperate here. I was at work on lunch playing with benchmarks and my phone decided to shut off and not respond to anything, even holding the power for 10-20 seconds.
CLEANROM V - SP1
Blackout kernel, newest - 3.0 i believe. 2.1 OC
I set the governor via SetCPU to Performance, set the OC to 2.1 and ran AnTuTu.
The screen shut off immediately. Obviously I panicked, tried to hold the button down for a hard reboot. Nothing.
I was at work, and I work in retail, so there's not many computers around to actually DO anything, but I was able to connect it to one, and the computer recognized it for a bit then showed an error that it couldn't install drivers. Old computer probably windows 98.
At home, my PC will recognize it for about a second and then disconnect. It's really quite annoying as the Windows sound is. :x
I'm offering a reward for help with this one. Please guys. Thanks.

TWRP. Latest version. I had installed the Blackout kernel earlier at 1.8 with no problem. Always flashed with TWRP just fine.
Does it charge? Sounds dumb but it could have just died

I've been doing that button combo all day with no results. I definitely knew how to do it and that's what I was trying to do all day.
While I posted these threads I had the phone on AC power and I pulled it off to try his suggestion. It booted after about 15 seconds to normal boot where I immediately went to recovery to reflash the kernel with 1.8.

I have a quick question, I'm in the exact same boat you were in no charging light not booting up been trying the button combo all day, I was in linux so I didn't know about the windows sound but booting into windows it tries to install a qhsusb driver after it installs a usb input driver. Did yours do the same?

I ended up letting it charge for 20 minutes while I panicked on the Internet, I pulled it off, held the power and volume down for 10-12 seconds, let off the volume and kept holding power. It vibrated and showed the htc logo.
I'm not sure which drivers it tried to install but it only recognize it as a device for roughly .75 seconds. What got you to that point?

Well what mine does is No charging light it just died while browsing internet last night so I let it charge overnight, this morning tried all the button combos nothing. So reading your thread I booted into windows 7 and plugged it into the usb held down power and volume down (it always makes that annoying plugged in sound when I plugged it in) it makes the plug in sound but still a black screen but it tries to install the qsusb driver and fails and it also installs usb input driver. So I didn't know if maybe our situations were the same or not. It sounds like they are very similar to say the least I'm just trying to avoid sending it to HTC for warranty.
Mine played the connect sound then the disconnect and repeated really quick, so it was only connected for about a second.
Mine was disconnected from anything when I got it to boot. Mine did not show a charging light either on AC. It booted and had 78% so my battery was fine for the 6 hours I couldn't turn it on.

np..maybe it's your battery that's bad.
try a different 1.
if you use heimdall frontend, you need pit and repartition unless you also use the 1 click packages
i'm wondering if it's your battery...
I was thinking too...but my battery even at 100% and I power off I can't turn it on unless it has pee to it... No power hooked up I have to hold power Burton for about 10 seconds then the picture of the 0 battery appears with the little charging star, then dies.... Pee plugged in,I hold power for about 10 seconds and I get the same thing but it goes from 0% battery pic to green charging battery, then I have to hold power again and it will bout up fine...very strange, wish I has another battery kicking around, but I just gave my star...lol

Sounded like you were fortunate to get it running again.
I couldn't tell if it's your charging port or the battery is bad. I have read of corrosion issues as well.
If you have a captivate battery sitting around, it may loosely fit to test out the battery theory.
You can also try a att kiosk or store..they can test it for you.
here is another option I found pretty good:

To simulate battery pull hold power button it will blink a few times then turn off. Also disable fast boot in power options.

I had this same problem today.
But the advice given above didn't work for me?
I had to do a factory reset on the phone.
Then the trick to shutting down the phone is to do it BEFORE you set up the phone, immediately after the first bootup.
Just for the fun I decided to brick my phone on purpose. Holding the power button will effectively turn the phone off. Got back into my recovery and reloaded a backup.

I also experienced this issue yesterday and was able to resolve the issue. Although I am running sick-sense, this might work for you to because I think the issue is kernel related. Try plugging your phone using the charger, and unplug it. see if it resolves your problem. Let us know if this helps so other who might encounter this issue have a fix.
I've did some searching on this and tried everything listed but I may have a unique case here. I had a buddy call me a couple days ago and tell me about his issue with his One X. I started digging on here and found a couple of tips and tried them all for him and no go.
I asked him what he was doing when this happened. It is a Rogers One X and he attempted to install a CM9 ROM for the international One X. He assumed a One X was a One X. I've only dabbled with my Galaxy Nexus and Transformer Prime, but I'm assuming this is the issue with his phone. Am I wrong?
Is there a way to fix it? I've had the phone for a couple of days and I can not get it to power up. The LED doesn't come on either when the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried a couple different chargers and cables and same result.
Hoping I can some how save this for him.

yes...but it should still hit the bootloader, hell even recovery. try the same method with vol up instead... then plug into pc... see if there's any connection.
This thing takes forever to boot compared to me older devices. I'm thinking it's not totally off... try holding the power button for a long time... like 15 seconds +. see if any lights flash..
The trick is we need it in a full off state and power it up with vol down and power.
It could be in a kernel boot loop that you can't see anything.

It actually might be recoverable, but it's a lot of work.
Do this.
On a linux machine, while plugged into usb - push and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Release it. IMMEDIATELY and REPEATEDLY do ls /dev/sd*
Do the ls over and over again (for around 20 seconds or so) and see if a bunch of new devices show up and subsequently disappear.
If they don't, push and hold power for another 10 seconds, release, repeat.
If you get devices to show up, it's recoverable.
He bricked, is a shame but that's the risk you take when you flash a ROM meant for another phone...
So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Right back into the boot screen. I think I'mg onna give up on this now. :/
Sorry man, I'm out of ideas as well. Taking apart the phone and pulling the battery for a bit is the last option.
I encourage you to keep trying the traditional way before taking the phone apart.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^
I think you can help me maybe but I'm not so experienced

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.
Hello:
I attempted to load AT&T Stock Rooted DE-ODEX - 1.26.502.12 today, since I was having some issues with the camera/video while using Rage One 1.1.0, which worked great for a few weeks other than that, but now my phone is completely stuck after several hours and full battery on "HTC quietly brilliant (pun intended?) with the red text on the bottom "This build is for development...blah blah blah".
Is this thing seriously bricked with no hope? I've searched all over the web and seems like people use the term too loosely, making it really difficult to figure out if there's any hope for a phone in this state. No red light when charging or recognition by any computers that it's connected and flashboot attempts only respond with "waiting for device".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It does not sound to me like you have a carrier locked HTC one XL... but as long as you can get to bootloader you are not bricked.
What phone do you have? Your bootloader should have the proper info.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. You are correct, I meant to post it in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2222 although I originally posted in the international forum and he sent me to this one, really sorry about that.
It's an AT&T HTC One X and I can't get anywhere, just sits there at the initial splash screen, for hours now.

Press and hold power. The capacitive buttons will blink about 7 times or so and the screen will go black. Once the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.
Then tell me everything it says on the top portion of that screen. Don't bother including the stuff at the bottom.

No such luck, the buttons on the bottom blink, but it never turns off, just sits there on the splash screen. I'd be super happy if I could get the bootloader back! The red charging light is also off and I have it plugged into the wall. Also, 3 computers and 8 usb ports do not recognize it as being connected.

Keep holding it until the screen shuts off. Sometimes it blinks way more than 7 times.
If that doesn't work. Let the battery drain then charge for 15 minutes or so and then press and hold volume and power down while the device is off to turn it on in bootloader mode.

Thanks so much Daorderdillon, I'll give that a try! I have a 1,000W grow lamp I'll try sticking it under for a few hours to see if it vegs!
That's a neat trick and makes sense, this room is kinda dark, hope it works!

Just be careful, from what i understand those things give off a lot of heat. The point, I believe is just so you can tell the difference when the backlight shuts off, not to cook the phone

Thank you so much exad, I really appreciate the help. I held down the power button for close to 3 minutes, but still no luck. I thought about letting the battery drain as well, although it's a full charge and not sure how long it would take to drain, although I think it might be worth a shot. What options would I have if it does come back and I'm not able to get the computer to recognize it's attached?
Thanks again for all your help!
Don't get smart I didn't say leave it under there I said go under the light and hold the power button down

Once you get into bootloader, your computer will be able to recognize it through fastboot.

Sorry, just trying to shed some light on a bad situation. It worked after a few minutes under the lamp, although the computer won't see it as an attached device under fastboot and the factory reset up gets hung at entering recovery splash.

You two rock!!! The APK installer still says it's not connected to usb, but at least the flashbooter can hook into it! I should be able to make some good progress from here.
Thanks a trillion for all your help!

Well it lets me into TWRP, but doesn't take any RUU's or ROM's and warns me about not having any OS installed when I ask to reboot in TWRP.
This should be fun! :laugh:

hmm, this is not true.
What happens when you mount USB storage in TWRP? (also, best to use TWRP 2.3.3.1 or under if you aren't already, to avoid further complications)
