Hey guys this is my first time posting.
I've rooted my One X loaded up a ROM (AT&T made sure it was right), was logging into Google, then my phone went black (it's connected to the computer) and it was making a sound like when you plug in a usb drive, then after a few minutes it stopped. The phone is not doing anything, can't turn it off or on. Tried to do a hard reset (volume down + power button for 30 seconds) that did nothing. Tried connecting my phone to Ubuntu and it did nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
Which Rom and were you low on battery?

Try leaving in wall charger for. A while...did you recently get it wet or any other hardware failure?
Any charge light if you plug it into the wall charger?

That is (mostly) how you get into hboot, not hard reset (is no button combo to reset the phone, per se).
You only need to hold the power button for about 5 seconds. Then release power only, keep holding volume down, and see if the white hboot screen comes up.

I left it plugged in for a few hours and the charge light would not come on, and no hardware failure or was it wet.
Were you using a different companies charger? I've seen people brick from use of diff charger and try holding just power for 30 seconds and see if your key lights blink

The charger is from HTC I've tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds, when I do connect it to the computer it's trying to connect as a HID device but the computer stops trying to install the driver after a few minutes.

No charge light, or any combination of power and or volume button holding is working.
Its not looking so good. If the phone was left on wall charger for a few hours, and no charge light, you are probably screwed. You might look into the unbricking thread in General, since you have a Linux computer.
The fact it went dark after flashing a ROM is suspicious. I wouldn't think it would boot at all if you flashed something that corrupted hboot (like ROM for the international One X). But the timing is awful suspicious. What ROM did you flash?

Good news, I plugged it into the charger and held down the power button, the charge light went to blinking red, then pressed the power button and it went solid. I then was able to get it into bootloader. It was very odd, the batter is at 94%, not sure what was going on, I think it was a bad ROM. I'm going to flash it and see what happens.

This happened to me awhile back. However, I wasn't rooted. I was complete stock. Just left it on the wall charger for an hour, held power button for about 30 econds or so and it deicided it wanted to work again. I was also on 2.20.

Today, my family was going to celebrate Canada Day. I was running Root-Box *with Halo!* and everything was well. I charged up my phone to 80%. Cleared the necessary caches, resets, and then proceeded to restore to my now 20 day old ViperXL Backup. I restored and booted , everything was working well, but the phone was hot as it always is when i restore a ROM. So i went to go get ready, when i came back i turned the phone on from standby and it didn't respond. I unplugged it and did all button combinations ( volume up and down and power, volume down and power,just power). I did lots of research and I all I could find was that leave it to cool down then charge. So I left it and came back after 3 hours and it was still the same. Another finding from my research was to charge it. Now, when i do it flashes the red led. and thats all. Its supposed to go to solid red after a while but its been 3 hours and still blinking red. I tried to adb things (adb reboot, addb flash recovery <file link here>). But nothing. So now Im here hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks for reading.
Also, when i plug it into the computer, it detects installs a driver thens stops. It keeps on making connect and disconnect sounds on the computer. Not detected by adb or htc sync manager. I tried all the power cables, stock HTC, apple power block, samsung and even blackberry!

thanks for the reply it connect but disconnects. If you go to device manager it keeps refreshing as it connects and disconnects and then reconnects. When you do however go to human interface devices you see HID interface, and USB input devices. Thanks for replying. I cant get into the bootloader either. Charged it all night and its still the same thing.

Have you tried the simulated battery pull?? Just hold down power until captive lights start flashing.. let it keep flashing for I think 10-12 times and release power button.

I tried all combinations, it wont go to boot loader, it wont do a simulated battery pull it wont re calibrate the chagring mechanism. (vol up + vol down + power).

lights wont flash. The only thing that flashes is the red LED. it flashes quickly, not slowly like it does when you put it for charging after its dead (no battery).

Stay away from vol up + power. It will put the phone in QHSUSB_LOAD, which nothing good will come from.
You should not be trying "all combinations" just the right one for bootloader. Make sure you are holding vol down, the press power for 5 seconds or so (do the capacitive buttons flash at all if you do that?) release the power button, but do not release the vol down button until the hboot screen comes up. Or of course, you are convinced the phone is still not responsive.
Try this with the charger plugged in and unplugged.
Make sure you charge for several hours on the wall charger, not connected to your computer.

There have been some cases of the phone becoming suddenly unresponsive like this, apparently due to hardware failure. These reports seem to be getting a bit more common as the phone is getting a bit "older" (over a year).
However, since the OP was just futzing with it (restored a nandroid), I tend to believe its not a hardware failure. And that he can still possibly recover.
But that is just a gut feeling (and maybe being too optimistic).

I tired both of your suggestion but no hboot menu. and my warranty just ended last month. ( any other ideas?
Here is a video showing what happens. I appreciate the help BTW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lzm5PKlp-E&feature=youtu.be
Phone doesn't charge (usb pc , charger ac outlet). No red lights. Did all buttons combinations with no luck. It gets warm by the back camera area when plug to ac outlet but battery stays cold. How to know? Motherboard or battery.
Sounds like a brick what does windows recognize the phone as?

Did you do anything to cause this condition (flash anything, RUU), or did it just happen on its own? Is the phone modded or stock?
Leave the phone plugged to the wall charger (not computer) for several hours (overnight) and try to power on again. Try both power on button combos:
1) regular power-on: holding power for a few seconds, then releasing
2) bootloader: hold power button and vol down, then release power button, but keep pressing vol down, until bootloader comes up, or you're convinced nothing is happening
Don't know what you mean by "Did all button combinations", and I don't like when people say vague stuff like this. The 2 combos above are the only ones you should be trying. Power and vol up puts the phone in Qualcomm download mode, which is not a good idea.

We understand that you want an answer to your question, but in order for us to do that you must provide as much detailed information as possible, your initial post was quite vague. Do as Redpoint suggested and have the phone plugged into a wall outlet overnight, try the button combinations he listed, and report back tomorrow.

Did all you said. Left the phone plugged for 48 hours, plugged it in my pc for 24 hours (no charging, not recognized) drivers installed, button combinations (hold power button and vol down, holding power for a few seconds, then releasing). Phone won't charge nor power on. This problem was after charging it and power it off by the power button.
So when you connect it to your pc it doesn't make a connection sound or show up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager?

You didn't "hurt my feelings". But if you want us to help properly, you need to be specific as to what you tried (not just say "I tried all the button combos" which means nearly nothing). And the one button combo for Qualcomm Download Mode is one you do not want to try.
Try to power on (regular and bootloader) while the phone is plugged to the charger. There was at least one user here that was able to get into bootloader this way, when for some reason it would not while unplugged. There is no rhyme or reason to this. But anything is worth a try at this point, right?
If the phone still will not power on, or even show a charge LED after being on the wall charger (don't charge on the computer, it doesn't provide enough juice) for several hours, you're pretty much out of luck.
Since you said you haven't done anything to your phone, meaning rooting it, S-OFF etc. What's stopping you from getting a warranty replacement?

If the phone is still under warranty, this is what I would recommend. Some One X's have simply given up the ghost lately due to hardware failure of whatever reason.
I am new to the HTC ONE S, I successfully was running CM11, S-ON . I went to charge the phone and screen went black. No orange led charging light. I tried to access bootloader using power+volme down. The 3 lights at the bottom blink. Thats as far as the phone will go

Hopefully some other folks will jump in as well. Luckily you got other phones and it's not completely shot, so we'll see what we can do.
Have you gotten the phone to completely power off, or does it sit there and attempt to boot over and over?

Don't worry about putting the sim back in for now. The best thing to do is to just rule everything out. Mash volume down as hard as you can and hold it until the htc logo goes away. Mine is tricky as hell and any variation in pressure makes me miss the bootloader altogether.
I'm still looking for some further insight.
It doesn't make sense that it would do this while still S-On, as that's the whole point of staying S-On-- not screwing up the bootloader.

Are you sure your phone is completely powered off? I couldn't figure that from all these posts...
You said the button lights are blinking and that's all. There is a bug happening sometimes, when display doesn't turn on and was happening also to me while I was testing some ROMs. Could you please hold that power button pressed after the button lights are blinking (that could be a warning that phone will shut down)? Keep power pressed like 10 secs after the blinking starts. Then take your finger from power button, press and hold vol down button and with other finger, press power button again for 2-3 secs while still holding pressed vol down. Phone should go to bootloader

Just occurred to me-- it could be that you were holding the power button too long and it was actually powering it back off. The three buttons blinking are normal when you hold the power button down for ~10 seconds to power off (although on my phone it actually forces it to reboot).

He did get it into bootloader after really mashing the volume key. My phone is similar in that light or medium pressure on the volume key will cause it to miss the bootloader.
I have to take my phone out of the case typically-- frustrating, but this phone is so fast I can overlook it.

No problem. It should charge if you leave it on the bootloader screen (you did, right?) and plug it into your computer. That'll allow you to go ahead and make sure fastboot drivers are working, etc.
And yeah, it takes FORever to download, but I guess it's free, so can't complain. That site was actually down for a few days when I was trying to downgrade my hboot. I made sure to keep a copy of the RUU on my server this time, lol.

Actually, you might even try seeing if it will go into recovery now. If it does, that will allow you to bypass the RUU altogether and just go straight to flashing.
It's your call, but I'd recommend S-Off. It makes flashing on this phone a whole lot less painful.

Remove charger and let the phone battery die, might take a long time depending on how much it was charged
Try connecting the white MicroUSB > USB adapter that came with the phone to something power hungry to drain it quicker
Power off you device and then wait 10 seconds. After waiting press and hold the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons at the same time
After the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button, while still holding the other two buttons until Android System Recovery screen appears.
Using the "Volume Down" button, highlight "wipe cache partition" and press the Power button to select it.
After the cache partition is cleared, the Galaxy S7 will reboot automatically. This worked for me ans I hope this will help

After the cache partition is cleared, the Galaxy S7 will reboot automatically. This worked for me ans I hope this will help

Run the battery out, once the phone is off it might get out of whatever loop it is stuck in
Then connect charger and power on
Any background info? ROMs flashed? Shady apps newly installed? Rooted?

Remove charger and let the phone battery die, might take a long time depending on how much it was charged
Try connecting the white MicroUSB > USB adapter that came with the phone to something power hungry to drain it quicker

I did try to connect something to the usb adapter but the phone does not output power...

Red LED should not show when charger is not connected though
Press power button plus volume up and down hold for 5 to 10 sec it will restart ur phone same thing happen with on s6 but not on s7.
I once had to press vol up and down, power and home (that's all buttons) at the same time for ten seconds for the S7 to reboot as it was stuck and seemingly dead. No led on at the time though. But I have disabled the leds in the settings anyway.
UPDATE!
The battery discharged completely(red led was off),first i tried to put it in download mode and IT WORKED!!! But the phone wouldn't turn on because the battery was 0%.I charged it and now it works fine :| I hope this was something software related and not hardware and i hope this will never happen again.Thx for the help guys!

Great
Sounded like it just got stuck, and because you can't take the battery out you have to wait for discharge :good:

Yup ?
Same problem
I have the same issue... Tried to charge my phone with 15% battery and after a few hours it was 8%. Tried to reboot, charge with the phone turned off but nothing was happening ( not charging, not booting up. tried buttons combinations as well ). The led is not showing up on mine because i disabled it from the settings so i'm not sure if it's charging or not. Took the phone to an authorized service on friday so next week i'll be getting a response from them. By the way, the phone is only one week old :crying:
My cable came unplugged and now i think my phone is stuffed. It just a green light and i can do anything. Is there another way to fully power down without volume up and power as me volume up doesn't work. I hope i haven't just stuffed my phone completely.

Try pinching the screen and back next to the volume up key while pressing it and power to shut down. I had a broken volume up for a long time and this is what I did to enter fastboot and force shutdown.

And don't worry too much if the cord came out, my laptop battery ran out once while flashing and my xzp still works
I just waited until the battery died and it has come back on. now to try and install nougat to see if i can stop it freezing and restarting
