[Q] Stuck on Black screen with solid green notification light - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I recently rooted my One X Evita and flashed Clean ROM 5.1 with hasoon's all in one tool. Everything went perfect. Then I reinstalled a few of my old programs and got it all set up. I was really happy, it felt much more responsive than before. Last night I set a couple of alarms, left it charging by my bed like every night and in the morning I woke up late on my own. I looked at my phone and it was just the same as every morning connected to the charger with a black screen and the green notification light was on supposedly indicating that the phone was fully charged but when I took the cord off the green light never went away and when I press the on button It never did anything. I haven't tried anything because I don't want to make it worse. It's been now 7 hrs. since I disconnected it and the green notification light is still on. Can some body help please... Thank you...

um, why don't you turn the phone off and power it back on. phones glitch especially ones with custom roms.

Try holding the power button down for 20 seconds

Thank you very much. After I held the power button for 20 seconds the green light turned off then I pressed the power button momentarily and the phone proceeded to turn on. I did a few things on it and made a phone call. Is back to normal. Thanks again.

Thanks for replying, I did try to turn it off but I guess I wasn't holding the power button long enough but thanks to area51avenger I was able to restart it. I guess you have to hold for 20 seconds.

Can u not get into bootloader or recovery keep trying for a little. And does yyour computer recognize it
It may also be the proximity sensor. If you have case on the phone remove it also try cleaning the screen the sensor is located on the very top of the screen approximately 1/2 an inch to the left of world at&t logo give it a really good cleaning and see if it comes back on.

unplug from any cables, hold power+volume down for ~15 seconds. phone should reboot.
if this does not work, try power + volume up, to see if you can get in fastboot
Got it working. I literally tried every button combo I could think holding them for as long as a minute. Went to vzw and the guy got it into to fastboot on the first try... power button and volume up is what he said he did... don't know why it didn't work for me

Phone won't boot

Hey guys,
My phone shut off unexpectedly today and now won't turn back on. When I try to power it on I see the Google logo for a couple seconds and then it'll just shut off again. I tried holding the volume up/down buttons to access the bootloader, but right after I get to the screen it just restarts itself again.
Connecting to power (AC or USB) causes it to constantly reboot over and over, it just shows the Google logo for a couple seconds and then restarts again.
Any ideas on what I can do?

Provide more information for a starter - stock? unlocked bootloader? rooted? third party recovery? rom and if yes which?
If it's stock I'd RMA it.
If not what did you do immediately before the problem started?
try holding the power button for > 2 seconds which should turn it off completely, leave it on a wall charger for at least a couple of hours then turn it back on - I doubt it'll fix the problem but it's a simple thing to try...

Everything on it is stock, no ROM, not rooted. I had just taken it out of my pocket to check the time, put it back in my pocket and then felt it vibrate, took it back out to see it at the Google logo and haven't been able to get it started since. There was one or two times when it got past the Google logo and started to show the start up animation (the four colours bouncing around or whatever it is) but then it shut off again.
I tried holding the power button to completely turn it off, but plugging it into the wall charger just causes it to repeatedly attempt to boot like I mentioned earlier. I'll leave it for a while and hope for the best
Sounds like the mobo is bad. Most likely will have to rma it.

Do you have a case on? The case could be faulty.

Maybe not. Sounds like a stuck power button to me.
OP does the phone just endlessly repeat this cycle? If so it's rebooting itself do to a stuck power button. One other users already reported similar issues and his power button was indeed stuck. Mash the power button hard for a minute to see if you can unstick it.

You got it!
Thanks so much, really wasn't looking forward to waiting for weeks while the RMA went through. The button didn't appear to be stuck - it was still clicky - but after mashing it for a minute it started up normally and appears to be fine now.
Did you flash any ROMs or anything previously?

brother the issue is gone, as mentioned "sticky power button" was causing it. read the thread before posting. btw thanks for effort anyway... haha
:laugh::silly:
Hi all. Sorry to reopen an old thread (but xda suggested I check here before making my own thread).
I think we have the exact same problem with a Nexus 5. Unfortunately, bashing the power button doesn't seem to be helping (and makes me feel slightly silly .
Anyone know how much effort it would be to take it apart to get to the part that's stuck? Any good instructions?
Thanks.
Weird, I have the same issue starting a few hours ago. I updated to the Oct 17 beta of Cataclysm then a hour later it happened. But was told it sounds like the power button issue.
Took it apart, tried to fix it. If plugged in I can get into the bootloader, but then it reboots again. I've tried tapping it on a hard surface, and it gets seems like it almost fixes it because it'll connect to my laptop but then reboots again.
Could it be the battery? It was fully charged but then died as I was deleting hundreds of photo's in Dropbox to move photo's over from my phone because it was full.
I too am running into this same issue. My screen cracked so I replaced the digitizer with some success. In the process I damaged the battery and needed to replace it. When I got the new battery and replaced it my phone is now unusable.
When unplugged: I turn on the phone and it's running the ANDROID animation then turns off.
When plugged in: I turn on the phone, the ANDROID animation runs then the phone restarts and continues the process over and over again.
I then flashed the phone with Marshmallow and the same thing happens. Except now that I flashed it I get the Android icon with the spinning gear. So; I flashed it back to 5.1.1, but the same result.
Could I have physically damaged something inside or is it a battery issue? Thanks for any insight.

[Q] Did my N5 just turn into a paper weight?

There isn't much in the way of details for what just happened to my phone but I'll try my best to be as detailed as possible.
I picked it up and turned the screen on then I hear a "pop" sound. (i don't know if it was a hardware pop or something that came from the speaker)
The screen grayed out a little bit, the system buttons on the bottom of the screen disappeared and horizontal lines appeared on the bottom quarter of the screen. The screen was also completely unresponsive.
I held down the power button to restart the phone, when I did it vibrated and the screen turned off. However, the phone won't turn back on now. Plugging the phone into the wall doesn't make the charging icon appear so I'm assuming that my phone just died.
The phone was bootloader unlocked, rooted, and had Franco kernal r14 on it. No overclocking, under-clocking, or under-volting.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try to either bring it back to life or confirm that it is indeed dead?
Hold both volume buttons and the power button and see if it will go into the bootloader.

Try leaving it plugged In for awhile even though it doesn't appear to be charging. You could try to hold town the power button for thirty seconds.
It seems like it COULD be bricked. If it is, I would contract Google for a RMA. Their not going to spend there time fixing it just to see if you were rooted or unlocked.
Good luck.

What happens if you just hold the power button down for about 15 seconds?
Or, if you hold volume down and power for 15?
what about if you hold volume down and plug ausb cable in from your computer, will it enter download mode?

Thank you very much needed bro
As info, the AT&T thread is short of limited. I usually stick to the normal G2 thread, myself. You'll get more help and quicker responses I think.
