So my power button is broken. It was press. My phone ran out of battery. Is it possible to turn it back on? Any help would be appreciated immensely.
Nope
Same thing happened to me and I had to send the phone back to tmobile for a new one. I think that it is a defect in the design and placement of the power button.
i would but unfortunetly I bought it from someone and it isnt under warranty anymore
Call HTC or get a friend to do it for you.

Plug in to the charger and it should boot up, or plug into adb and type adb reboot

I think...
You're supposed to remove battery and try to power up with bootloader/adb?

If you get it to turn on you can pm me and I will link the apk file to allow remapping.but you still won't be able to turn your phone on so u have to keep it charged and on.
I am positive I read somewhere how to turn it on via USB/ad w/out battery in.search about not having battery.you might get lucky.

So I had leaked ics. Flashed the other ics rom. Wouldn't boot
Used script to downgrade to 2.3.5 and it got stuck on M screen
Flashed again, but battery's too low. So now I'm stuck in Fast boot mode with a low battery.
Will it charge if I plug into wall and/or computer?
What can I do? I just want it to charge long enough to flash and turn on!!!

You'll need to find a way to charge it, either buy getting your hands on another better or trying the MavGuyver Method (search xda for it), however the latter mentioned can be risky if not careful. White light I'm assuming is on when you try to charge?
Edit: This type of thing has been seen here before, and there are threads regarding this problem. Not sure how that may or may not affect the leak in this situation, but regardless you have to get power to the device.

If I plug in it goes right to fastboot. Only get a white light if I hook up without a battery in

Might I recommend editing the title of the OP to begin with "[SOLVED]" now that you're all set?

So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

I'm still on 1.09
Its s-off.
I haven't touched my hboot since i rooted my phone.
Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

Well, I'm still trying that. I've done it the way you''ve mentioned it here as well. Trying it again now. I've never had problems getting into my hboot before. :S
Something just seems wrong.
Once I get back home, I'm gonna pull the phone apart and check if something's wrong with my volume button. The Vol. up stopped working, but vol down was working just fine....
Let it boot as far as it will go and see if adb will recognize it. If it does adb reboot bootloader

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Right back into the boot screen. I think I'mg onna give up on this now. :/
Sorry man, I'm out of ideas as well. Taking apart the phone and pulling the battery for a bit is the last option.
I encourage you to keep trying the traditional way before taking the phone apart.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^
I think you can help me maybe but I'm not so experienced

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.
hi
i tried this method to root my phone ([S3] VilleC Superboot R1 )
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788974
and i think it bricked my phone...
phone was unlocked and the battery was round 90%
i opened the install.bat and my phone turned off even thought my pc recognized as " my htc " i tried to flash a rom but ruu said that battery is under 30 % ( it took me 20 min to download ) when i tried to power on capacitive buttons are blinking so i took htc charger to charge the phone , after 5 hours i checked and only the red led is on - i thought it is charging , after i while i connected with pc but now it doesnt recognize at all.
i did some searches but no luck until now
what i can try next ?
Are you able to boot into the bootloader (volume down + power)?

Darn. Is it under warranty? If not, I've read some other threads where people had luck opening up the phone and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

No Bootloader , recovery or anything ?
I would say run a RUU but you need bootloader for that .
Before opening it I'd say try get it sent to HTC if still under warrenty
Was your bootloader unlocked ?
I sent off my HTC a long time ago it was rooted unlocked bootloader tampered etc... But My carier carried out the repair but under the authorisation off HTC they repaired it and sent it back so I got pretty lucky .
I don't think disconnecting the battery will do anything (sorry Nippo) because the problems software related not hardware realed .but if any hardware has failed they will repair it only under warrenty .
if I helped hit that thanks button it helps me a lot .

no no warranty. i tried disconnected the battery but nothing.
after reading and doing some searches i think definitely the battery is dead and doesnt charge... if any one has an idea how to charge the battery it will be great - removing the battery from phone is not a problem...
buying one is not easy to find in my country

I bought a battery charger on ebay when I used to have a mytouch 4g. Could you get your hands on one?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
my one x has been running on stock ics since i got it 6 months ago perfect until tonight when i get a low battery light. i pulled it out of my posket 10 mins later and nothing, ive been trying to charge it and it doesnt even have a charge light. theres no warranty so i really need some help with this.
It's most likely not bricked. Plug into a wall charger for a few hours, or even better overnight. Check it in the morning and try to power it on. Sometimes you need to hold the power button down. It's a power management bug present on this model that's causing it.
