[Q] AT&T OneX not turning on - red light - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi all!
This morning I turned off the alarm, at that moment I think I had around 30% battery.
One or two hours later I found the phone turned off, so I supposed the battery went away.
So I connected the wall charger and after a while then I tried to turn it on.
When I did that, Back, Home and the other key started to blink. I remembered that already happened once, so I tried to press volume down + turn on button (or I tried to press the turn on button alone). And I did it for 30 seconds.
The keys stopped blinking and the red light turned off. Nothing else happened, no screen, no lights...
I left the phone connected to the charger, without light. Then I tried to press the turn on button again for 30 seconds, and the red light appeared.
The thing is, if I disconnect the charger, the red light keeps on, unless I press the switch button for 30 seconds and it gets off.
I don't know what to do, I supposed that maybe it's a qhsusb_dload case, but I have no idea.
I appreciate any assistance on this!
Regards,
Dani

Leave it plugged in overnight (or many hours) and try again.

Thank you for this quick response!
Even if the red light keeps turned on without being connected to the charger? It never happened to me.
Should I try with volume-down + switch key?

Yeah just make sure you leave it on charge for a long time before trying to turn it on.
If that doesn't work, plug it into your pc and see what comes up in device manager.

I have tried connecting it to the computer but was not recognized, no new device, nothing.

Stop messing with it, and just leave it alone to charge for several hours.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.
I left it charging all night, and tried a moment ago and still not working.
i find weird the thing that it has like "2 modes"
- red light turned on all time, even if it's not charging (I left it charging in this mode)
- red light off (now I'm charging it in this mode)
I can switch the light by pressing the volume down + power button for around 20 seconds.
I'm going to try charging it connected to the computer.

If you are trying to get into bootloader, you actually have to release the power button (after pressing it for a few seconds) while still holding volume down. Don't release volume down until you see the white bootloader screen (or you get tired of doing it, and decide its not working).
Also try to get into bootloader while the wall charger is plugged in. There was at least one guy that had a similar issue, and the phone would not power on no matter what he tried, until he tried bootloader with the charger connected. Weird, I know. But worth a try.

I left the phone charging all night long, and it's the same... nothing.
I would analyze if it's a QHSUSB_DLOAD case. I'm downloading ubuntu.
If it's not, I think I'm gonna dissasembly the phone and see if there's something disconnected.
Any ideas are welcome, later I'm going to upload a video.

What method did you use to try to power it on?

I have tried just pressing power button for 10 seconds, then I've tried pressing it for 30 seconds.
Then I've tried pressing volume down + power for a few seconds, then release the power while keeping volume down, for a couple of seconds. Nothing,
Then I've tried with 30 seconds and what I see is that the red light is switched off when I do this.
What worry me most is that the red light keeps on even with the charger disconnected.
Short video:
Short video showing that is not entering to fastboot
Long video:
Long video showing that is not entering to fastboot and the red light gets off

Hi guys,
I left the phone 10hs connected to the computer instead of the wall charger and today the red light is blinking.
I've read that is due a very low battery charge, but I've left it charging for 10hs or more, how could it be??

Is your pc recognising the device at all now?

I have the same problem but except my red light isn't on at all. I just connected to my PC again and it read it but still doesn't turn on.

That's a brick. You can try the unbrick evita thread or jtagg

Hi all, thanks for all the responses.
Which unbrick do you recommend???

Not you. Yours appears to be a battery or charging issue. Hardware.
The other guys is a brick.

Is there any other cause? Or it's sure that is a hardware issue?
I just want try to avoid sending the phone service, because it was unlocked.

I have tried connecting the phone to ubuntu and executed lsusb from terminal.
Listed a couple of usb devices but not the phone.

It's difficult to be certain that its hardware but typically the phone would return to its normal state after a long charge. I recall another person who was also not able to return his to a normal state in the sane situation as you and he had to send it out. Yours does not display the same qualities of a phone stuck in qdl mode.

Help...Dead One S will not charge

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
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
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...

Htc One S dead

Hello guys,
I'm experiencing something bad with my HOS. Briefly, yesterday morning I plug the phone from charger at 06.00 am. Play with it for a while and then go to work. Used it at work for a few phone calls until 10.00 am (so 4 hours on fully charge battery). Then at 10.00 am I went into a meeting and left the phone out of my sight for 20-30 minutes. When I came back from the meeting I realize that the phone was closed. I try to open it (power button) but nothing. Press power for 10-30 seconds with volume down - still no effect.
Then I took the charger (the original one that I always use to cherge it) and plug it, left it for 2-3 minutes and press power. The phone starts but all I have is the white screen with HTC logo and if I press the power button + volume down the phone goes into bootloader. That's all I can do with it for now.
I have stock rom, bootloader is locked and I never try to root the phone. Is it any chance to repair it by myself or I have to sent it to the repair shop.
many thanks in advance.

try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, until all 3 buttons light up and the phone restarts itself. Let go of power button when after 3 buttons light up 3 times and see if that helps?
I've already do that. When I press power nothing happen. I'll have to plug into charger, let it for 2-3 minutes and then press power. The phone starts, white screen with HTC logo appears and then phone restarts and same white screen and .... again and again. If I hold volume down key then the phone enters into bootloader,I can use the options clear storage or factory reset, and restart the phone then same thing happens (white screen with logo and restart by itself). All these only when pluged. If unpluged nothing happen when I press power button.

Might sound silly but have you charged it for more then a few minutes because last time my phone died I had to charge it for about half hour before it would boot right.
I'll try this, but is strange if the phone run out of battery since it was used for about 4 hours since fully charged. Will be back with a feedback. Thanks for the tip.

Ya that's why I said it might be silly but still give it a try. I have seen odd battery drain where it could drain it in a few hours.
I say it's strange because I was on stock rom with same installed apps for about 2 months. Anyway the phone is now charging and I see something different with the led for charging as it turns orange as it should be when charging. Yesterday, when I try to start the phone,plugged in, the led was blinkering somehow. I'll be back with feedback later, I'll let the phone charge until led turns green.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Good news, after keep it to cherge until the led turns green, the phone boot up. I perform a factory reset immediatelly and an sd card clean up and now I'm installing my favourite apps. I'll be monitoring close my phone for the next days to see if sudden battery discharges happens.
Many thanks for your advice @darknites:good:

Np dude. Not sure where the drain is I used apps to look and it showed nothing and only seen it on sense roms and mostly only happened after flashing and setting it up but if you see it just roboot and it should fix it.
my phone is now dead the same way.
battery was fully drained, when turning on it doesn't go further than the bootanimation ( stays at htc one s logo).
Now i have fully charged the battery (green led) and it still doesn't boot up the right way.
Any help? I don't want to run the RUU.

Could try reflashing the rom if that dont work think you going to have too RUU it but use one that has the same Hboot as you got now.
What do you mean by not boot the right way? Can you pass the white screen with Htc logo? Did you try factory reset? Was your phone rooted?

Its not a good idea for him to use factory reset in bootloader since he not on stock rom.

I believe (but can not back it up) that you could have just re-flashed the boot image only. Still 10x probably.. altho that may have been the charging time, not the flashing.. who knows.

I think Lucky Patcher just bricked my TF700

I was running CleanROM Inheritance 3.2 (deodex), TWRP 2.3.1 (I think) and had just opened then closed Lucky Patcher. I saw a notificiation that LP had just removed an unused ODEX. A few seconds (maybe a minute) my screen turned off and now it will not restart. Nothing is waking it. Not the reset button, not the power button with volume. Nothing. With the charger attached, I don't even get a power light next to the power button.
What is the next step?
When I USB connect it to my PC, I get the "USB connected sound" but it does not show up as a location like it had before. I'm looking at device manager and I don't see anything there either. What should it be under?

Keep holding down your power button for like 1min, do you hear a vibration sound?
Fortunately, this was purchased less than 30 days ago. Still within return policy of BestBuy. Guess I know what I'm doing Saturday if it isn't fixed by then.
Fresh start!
Held power button for at least 2 minutes that time. No vibrate, no wakie!
You sure the battery hasn't run down and it just needs a recharge? Can't see how an app has bricked the device as you are describing a hard brick not soft brick.
Battery was showing 35% and I was actually putting on the desk for charging when this happened.
Since the power button isn't showing any LED, even when plugged in, I'd say it isn't a power issue. It is plugged in now and will be there all night.

One S bricked? Help me!

I bought HTC ONE S. When I received it, tried to power on but without success. Then plugged in computer, gave error couln't install qhsusb_dload driver. Orange light comes on when plugged in. Help me, solving this problem. Thank you.
Orange light means that it is charging. Let it charge for a while. It should turn on when you hold the power button for five seconds. If it doesn't turn on, you have to hold the power button for 30 seconds (at some point three buttons under screen start blinking and they stop when its ready). Then it should boot normally.
