[Q] Phone Bricked? - HTC Butterfly

I am using Virtuous Butterfly with the kernel that came with the ROM. I was trying to check my Whatsapp when i realised it wont reload, i tried to turn off wifi and it also wont turn off so I decided to restart the phone by pressing the restart button. I went to take a shower and came back with the thing at the boot screen. I tried the hold down power and volume down trick but it just wont restart this time!
I tried to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing happened, I unplugged the cable and it is still stuck on the screen. When I press the power button, the screen will turn off and when I press it again, it will turn on, just like standby mode. I am downloading the RUU now and I will try to flash it, hope that works! If not I will just wait for the battery to die and try to charge it and boot it up again.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Cuz the power and volume down thing just wont work and the phone doesnt have a removable battery

Stay push on the power button instead it restart (with holding the low volume button), the leds will blink and it will boot on bootloader.

I had a similar experience with my first One X (International) slept in the afternoon and woke up an hour later for it to be stuck at HTC welcome screen, at first I could enter bootloader, but no RUU available at the time for recovery, it eventually wouldn't even start after charging to full, just black screen....
I was told my motherboard was bad....
Anyway I hope its not the same for you, try charging to green light and turn on. If you can get to bootloader try reinstalling RUU if possible...

Now the phone wont even start after the battery died No LED when charging no response when pushing power button. Only response is when I hold power and down, the buttons would blink. Is it doomed?

stay your phone on charge for 1 hour and stay push on the power button (it should start after the blinking)

Thank you! It saved my phone! Its now booting properly and I can go to fastboot and recovery without any problems, I wonder what happened though.

I am glad to see it worked.
You know what to do if it happens again now.

HELP!! My One X won´t turn on =(

someone out there, please help me. Today when I went out to work I was playing with my phone and then put it away while I was driving. When I got back to it I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, so I keep the On key pressed for a few seconds and then it turns on.
So I thought maybe the phone needed a restart, so I did. I pressed the On key for a second and then selected "Restart". and it never started back again. I´ve been trying to press the on key for like 1 minute a nothing shows up, I connect it to the charger and the charging led doesn´t light up.
When I connect it to my computer, it seems to recognize something in the task manager as it says "Unknown Device"
Anybody knows a method to make it boot? like a typical "battery Pull"?
Try holding Power key for 10 seconds?

This ^^. or try to boot into recovery (hold volume down, then press and hold power, hold both until the three androids appear. then use volume down to select "reboot"
thanks for the reply, I just tried that and nothing, no light, no led. The capacitive buttons don´t light up either. =(
Try leaving it plugged in for awhile to make sure it's charged before you try to reboot into recovery?

I was thinking an thought. With android, sometimes the phones just get messed around too much. When I had my galaxy nexus, everytime i meet a freeze or something, I just pull the battery and reboot the phone. If the phone is messed up and wont boot. I can still just pull the battery, put it in, and boot into recovery. Now, is there any safe way to do all of this? I am worried about the One X, and still am debating between this and the note, reason being I flash a lot and dunno wat i can do if i really just mess up my phone. Anyone have any ideas?

If you hold down the power button for 10 seconds it will hard reset the phone. This is exactly the same behavior as the iPhone and other phones with a non-removable battery.

I have the same problem, when I charge it the charging indicator doesn't even turn red or green. I tried a wall charger as well as connecting it to my computer. I tried holding the power button for 10 secs, also while holding down the volume down button. Nothing works. I'm going to call HTC tomorrow, and might need to bring it back to the shop.
It always seems a bit finicky to turn on for me. I still have no idea how exactly to turn it on, I jus randomly press the button until it turns on.
Try holding down the power + volume down button.

Infuse keeps flashing the Samsung Logo

Ok, my phone was working just fine and then it randomly shut down on me and then booted up to the Samsung logo screen. The phone would flash the logo for a few seconds, go black, and then does it again. I've pulled the battery out and once I put the battery back in, the phone automatically turns back on without me having to hold down the power button or anything. I can't seem to be able to enter download mode or be able to reset it either. When I plug it into my computer it does display the battery icon charging which stops the blinking but thats it. Can someone help?

Htc one s wont turn on!!

I rooted my HTC ONE S ( EUROPE ) a couple of months ago, everything was fine until yesterday when I went to unlocked my phone from my lock menu it and it displayed a message on my phone screen saying "hold power button or phone will shut down in 3 seconds" by the time i had realised that that message was there it had one second, so it turned off by itself and it wont come back on, it wont let me into recovery or the bootloader because the screen wont come on!! I've tried volume down and power and it doesnt work, the only thing it displays is a solid orange LED light when i put my phone on charge and my computer doesnt recognise it when i plug it into it? I cant contact my service provider ( o2 ) because i void the warrenty when i rooted. HELP?
Full charge your phone, unplug it and try again.
My phone used to do a really annoying thing when it ran out of batteries. The next time I went to turn it on I had to hold the power button for about 20 seconds. After the first 5 seconds, the soft-keys would start to flash. They continue to flash as you hold the power button. Then, after a while they stop flashing and the phone boots up. Like I said, it takes a while. Just keep holding the power button if you see the soft-keys flashing.
That doesn't seem to be a problem now that I'm on Beanstalk 4.4.

Device only showing google boot screen

My device turned off and I can't turn it back on. Tried holding volume button but nothing. However if I put it on charge it vibrates shows the black screen with google on an then switches off and repeats without me pressing anything. If I hold volume down it goes to fast boot but quicky reboots before i can do anything.

Seeing that it is trying to boot when plugged into charger, I am guessing a battery issue. Try If u could Keep it turned off while connected to charger and let it charge for an hour. Then try turning it on. Hope it works after that
I've had this before. Leave it alone for like an hour being off. Then just hold the power button down. Just keep holding and it eventually comes back to life
