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.

I think my phone may be hard bricked.
I was trying to follow the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141550, when I ran into the situation I'm now in.
I followed all of the steps perfectly with the exception of rebooting to recovery, I accidentally rebooted normally. After it had started up and sat for about 5 minutes or so, I rebooted back to recovery. I reflashed the ext4 zip, then Black Ice ROM, and then Bali 3.1. I went to the voodoo menu and disabled both options and told the phone to reboot again.
It sat at the SGS4G screen for 20 minutes and I never heard linda speak during this entire time. I got tired of waiting and pulled the battery. Now the only thing I ever get is the SGS4g screen. I let it sit that way while I slept and when I woke up 3-4 hours later it was still on that screen. I've tried following the advice given in the thread mentioned above to put it back into download or recovery with no luck.
When I connect the phone to the PC instead of recognizing it, it complains about it and immediately makes the USB disconnect sound. If I leave it plugged in every 5-10 minutes or so it'll pop up the warning in the system tray again, and make the USB disconnect sound. If I unplug the phone from USB, the battery charging screen stays on. If I plug back in to USB at this point it'll make the sound like it's connected but never shows in Windows device manager, 'adb devices', or in ODIN. Any ideas before I call it a hardbrick and try to take it back to the store?

I've tried pulling the battery and putting it back in so it's fully shut down before holding the volume keys and connecting USB. It makes the USB connect sound and quickly makes the USB disconnect sound, gets the popup in my system tray saying it's an unrecognized USB device and doesn't go to download or a yellow triangle screen. Doesn't appear in ODIN or 'adb devices'. I've tried it this way repeatedly since last night.
I've also tried waiting until it's on the battery charging screen to pull the USB cable. It stays on the battery charging screen even though it's obviously not charging anymore. I hold the volume buttons anyways and plug the USB cable back in, and it makes the connect sound but it still never goes to download mode. I've tried it this way several times as well.
I've put my phone into download mode many times before so I can't imagine my method is wrong, I'm not doing it any differently than I ever have before. It's just behaving strangely. I've never had it stick on the battery charging screen before when I unplug the USB cable...

check your pm.
Hey. I had the same exact problem. I couldn't get into download mode...and thus no odin. Look in the bible. There is a guide on how to get into download mode multiple ways. I used method 2. After that, follow the guide to flash using odin, also in the bible. hope you get it fixed.

HAH SUCCESS!! I finally got it into download mode by pressing ONLY vol down and power. Worked like a charm. Pressing both vol buttons is what was killing me. I got into download mode with Vol Down and Power, and then had to uninstall/reinstall my samsung drivers. Odin now sees my phone and I'm pushing KD1 as we speak. Thanks a million everyone. I love this forum. Thanks to all who helped.

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...
Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
Not sure but I had a fairly similar problem which i barely got out of, hope it helps,
I was restarting my phone for some reason(while battery was low) and when it was turning back on, the screen was black at the time, i connected the usb cable for power and the phone never started. it stayed at the black screen, but in complete darkness you could tell the display was on, but in normal it would seem the phone is not even turing on.
I thought i bricked it for some reason, but what i did was charge up the phone a bit, combination of connecting to the computer and ac wall charger. The phone only restarted when connected to the wall charger so then in order to get into bootloader, i held the volume down and power, and plug the charger at the same time and after multiple attempts it finally managed to get into restart into the bootloader, than you just reboot into recovery and you should know the rest, factory reset or flash a clean new rom.

What happened to me is that I forgot to put my one x on charge overnight and when I woke up in the morning it wouldn't turn on and it "wouldn't charge". What had actually happened here is that I fell victim to the charging issue as many will. But I shall cut to the chase, how to fix the problem. This seems to happen with a lot of android phones, but more so, a lot of HTC phones. The phone seems to charge excruciatingly slow until you actually get the phone on, so first things first, lets turn the phone on.
1. Plug you HTC status into your PC/Laptop via the USB charging cable that is turned on and leave the phone there until you see the orange blinking light.
2. Find you wall charger and QUICKLY unplug the USB cable from the PC/Laptop and plug it into your status. (the reason for the quickly is because the phone won't charge through the wall charger unless you get that orange light blinking) I made you change to the wall charger as it charges quicker.
3.Wait until the orange light stops flashing (or maybe it wont so wait about 15 mins) then hold the power button until the phone turns on. If it doesn't turn on after 15 mins continue to let it charge (one person had to leave it charge for an hour)
4. You're done! your one x is saved!
OK so the reason that we let it charge for a bit is because the one x seems to have an issue getting charged every once in a while, this trick gets the one x's battery to 2% and once you've turned the phone on, it can charge completely.
I hoped this helped,

Ok so my mytouch was charging on my computer then i went to check on a text message, the screen was black but i could see the backlight. So I assumed it was a normal glitch or something so i disconnected it and pulled out the battery, but it wont even turn on or charge now.
I did everyting
I took out the battery
I tried a different battery
I took out both the sim and the sd card
I tried to load on bootloader
I tried a wall charger
Nothing has worked!
Anybody got any ideas.

When you say "Wont even turn on or charge"...
Do you get a buzz when trying to turn on?
How long have you left it on charge?
Does your computer recognize it when plugged in?
Have you rebooted your PC since the issue started?
When you pulled the battery, did you also unplug the USB cable?
What happens if you take out the battery and while holding down volume + & - you plug into PC via USB?

Sounds suspiciously like hardware, maybe main flex went bad and... well actually probably not as I think it would still vibrate. If you have debugging turned on and the proper drivers in pc the you can try a screen cast and see if you have anything, that or maybe some adb commands.
Also try another pc, one that it has never been connected to, see if drivers try to install

Ok. So it's not totally dead. (It's not necessarily recoverable, but it's not a full brick.)
A failed flex cable isn't out of the realm of possibility. You mentioned you were checking a text.
Did you open the keyboard, or hit the power button or trackpad?

I Hit the trackpad i think. Once i pressed it i got an empty screen. I already tried using ADB commands but adb wont even recognize my phone once connected. I have tried refreshing the daemon servers multiple times still no detect. Its like out of no where i decided to die or something lol
My Sensation has passed by this afternoon.
It does not even turn on, does not react to anything.
The last days, battery started to fall down very quickly (from 100% to 0% in no more than 1 hour of use, when the previous day, it lasted well +24 hours as usual). Then it did not detect any sdcard in it. Then, common freezes with vertical and horizontal lines came across the screen, especially after playing some demanding game. Back of the phone was literally on fire. I had to wait several hours to reboot again, of it would freeze on the boot screen otherwise. From that final state it only lasted one more day.
adb does not detect it connected to any USB plug (no device found). I have tried with/without SIM, battery, swapping batteries, only connected to USB plug, with/without sdcard... with the same result.
Screen only lights on whenever connected to an USB plug, but it does not respond to anything. It does not sound like when Windows detect a new hardware found. adb tools does not work either.
My main question is. Phone was with bootloader unlocked, S-off, debranded and with CWM Recovery 6 and CM10.1 installed on it. I am going to send it to the HTC RMA service as it is within the two-year warranty period. Could they detect anythingof the above-mentioned even if the phone cannot boot?
Thanks in advance.
did you try to boot into bootloader?
probably they can see that the bootloader is unlocked(i am not sure)
did you try the unbricking project?
if you plug the device to the charger does the led show red?

Hello, thanks for the input.
The led does not show in any color. The screen just lights up a bit when connected to an USB plug. But it does not react to anything, power button, power+vol down button (for entering the bootloader)...etc. Now it is like a paperweight.
I will have a look at the unbricking project. But i highly doubt I could do anything if It cannot enter the bootloader and/or respond to adb commands...

I had the same issue you did. Are u sure your battery isnt too low to start charghing? You can try to charge it a bit with a usb cable, you need to cut it and just take the red (positive) and black (negative) wires and touch the + and - of your battery for like 1 min. Then it will start charging. Give it a shot, worked for me and many others.

Hello and many thanks for the help.
I try to boot it up without the battery, just connected to the power outlet via the official HTC USB cable and charger. That way, it is supposed to boot up in normal conditions, isn't it? I wanted to discard the battery part, but anyway, I have another (non-official battery) and it does not boot either.
