Help please

My evita went really hot .. it was in my pocket.. i dont know how!
It switched off.
now when i turn it in., i get the starting htc logo and it switched off afrom there again.
My pc gives me a notification when i connect it.. but adb dosent show any devices..
PLEASE HELP!!

Plug it into the wall charger (not connected to computer by USB) and let it charge for several hours (overnight if you can). Then try it, and see if there is any improvement.
Any charge light come on, when you connect the charger?
There have been some cases of spontaneous battery level drop, and the phone powering off. The power has to go somewhere, so heat is not a surprising result.
It can also be you have a battery or other power fault of some sort. So I would take some caution, and monitor to some degree while charging, just in case of a short circuit, fire hazard, etc.

Hmm, that is a bit worrisome. I know somebody had a similar case (LED on, even when not connected), but it was solid red (not blinking). He never go it running and did a warranty exchange.
I'd try to charge for several hours, and try to power on. Also try to get into bootloader, or power on, when its still connected to charger. I know it sounds strange, but there was at least one guy a while back, that only got his device up and running again by doing the bootloader button combo while the charger was connected.

please tell me what to do once i am in bootloader

I think Uviz means to try to continue booting after getting into bootloader with the charger plugged in.

the phone switches off itself after 20-25 secs.
i managed to flash recovery again in that time.
i was able to access the recovery
but the phone switches off!!
its like.. i can do anything but i got only 25 secs!
Please help guys

The phone switches off while in recovery? Is the phone charged? Are you running a custom kernel?

The custom kernel would not load in recovery so it is of no consequence.
If it's shutting down while in recovery and the phone has a full or decent charge there's a good chance it's a hardware issue.
If you leave the phone in bootloader does it shut off also?
If it doesn't you can try to RUU and see if it's stable again but if you're phone decides to shut off in the middle, you'll most likely have an irrecoverable brick.

yes it shuts down in bootloader also.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I wouldn't try running an RUU, like Exad said it'll likely screw up and brick your phone. I think you'll need to send it for repair.

Plug it in and see if fastboot or adb recognizes it
I had thought I bricked once and turned out I still had fastboot access and managed to flash a 2.14 hboot and recovery and get my phone back .

I am not very deep into this stuff, but had the same issue today. Luckely I was able to enter the bootloader by pressing Vol- and Power on at the same time. Maybe this will help - I hope so. Failing that, just wait a little longer, this community is always here to help and very clever!
Best wishes

You should go to the bootloader (as mentioned above) and relock it, And then install the proper RUU from here:
ht tp ://w ww. androidruu. com/?developer=Ville (S4 version, bootloader says VLE)
ht tp ://w ww. androidruu. com/?developer=VilleC2 (S3 version, bootloader says VILLEC2)
(remove spaces from the link)

So, my friend told me the phone could be charged. And so does that mean, he can go to the bootloader and ressurect it?

Yes

I guys, just to be sure if all these steps are correct.
1. See if the phone can got to Bootloader
2. Plug in the phone to the computer
3. Download the compatible RUU
4. Relock it.
But idk how to do the fourth step. I'm using Ubuntu so drivers aren't rly required. And i heard there's 2 types of One S. The C2, no how to check whether i have either the C2 or the standard One S?
Really really appreciate if you can answer all this

1- To lock your phone you should enter bootloader, select fastboot, then connect the device to a computer. Now you should see "fastboot usb" white text on red background. Open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo fastboot oem lock
That's all(I assume you know what to do next)
2- if you could enter bootloader and see VLE after TAMPERED and UNLOCKED tags it's s4 variant and if you see VILLEC2, it's s3(c2) variant

OKay guys so i got my hands on the Bricked One S.. First things first, when i got it, i think some mad guys at the repair shop removed the screws on the One S and taking the top cap off kinda bend the Blue plate or whatever. Anyways, when i plugged the device to charge, theres the LED Notification lit up, then about 2 secs, it doesn't anymore. So while charging, i tried going to the bootloader, Power Button + Vol Down same time. Then suddenly, the One S's screen had a white flash on a certain part of the screen either top or bottom then it disappeared somewhat like lightining. After that flash assuming its going to turn on, i let go of the Power Button but the Vol Down. The LED Notification light was lit too but like the situtation when charging, it went off. So i can't go to Bootloader or Fastboot, but is there any way possible to ressurect this phone? Or maybe the screws were affecting the Main PCB or smth? HELP PLS. Counting on you guys

Yeah guys this is a problem of death batt or empty one. Let it to charge for a few hours and then try again, if still the issue persist then (even is littlebit difficult) try to test it with a good batt. If it goes to bootloader consider replacing with a new batt.

Yup. I'm having the same issue here. And it wierd because if you try charging to the wall charger for a day the LED will have the orange light and this time if you were to try the button combination the white flash that we use to see initially stops happening. An one the orange light dissapear the button combination will start back. But the phone is still bricked or Dead.
How can we make the phone respond to the computer or even get any response itself?
Without having responding is there any way to fix this?

Sadly, i sort of sent my One S to a repair shop cos of that problem. Im getting it back soon cos another guy told me to adb reboot-bootloader. Now the saddiest thing is that my computer is running Linux with adb but it doesnt detect any device i plugged.

Hi everyone, so yesterday I got home, and like everyday I dropped it on the wireless charger. After about 2 hours I took it and it has turned off itself and doesn't react to my button presses or anything. I tried holding Power, Power+Vol Up, Power+Down, Power+Vol up+Vol down, charged it overnight but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else left to do? (Bootloader is unlocked, twrp recovery + franco kernel and stock fw, it was working for like 2 weeks with no crashes).

If you've already tried holding the power button for 20 seconds it sounds like rma is the answer.

Does your computer recognizing your phone?

It does not, the phone isn't turned on, how could computer recognize it? (btw. The phone takes the power from the wall it seems, cause the power cord gives a noise when only it's pluged in without cable to the phone, then I can take it out, it still makes noise, and if i plug the phone into it, it stops making the noise)

It can recognize a phone even if it's not turned on,as adb,and then you can flash recovery,kernel and etc,using fastboot commands.
So go to device manager and see if recognized as adb,if yes,you're good to go,and try to flash stock rom and recovery.
Also you can try to reboot into bootloader using fastboot reboot command.

Ah yes,my bad,sorry. Also,when you took,didn't you notice that it's hot or something like that? Because I've read on the internet that wireless charging can make devices to overheat.

Yes, 2 times it was hot, but not yesterday. When I took it, it wasn't cold or hot, the same as normal phone would be.

Barely hearable so I just accidentally noticed it.

Anyways, I'll go for the RMA. One more question, I really doubt it's possible but I will ask. is there a way to transfer all files from the phone if it's not responding to anything?

If your sending it to google, then you don't have to worry. However, your device is fully dead, right? They will most probably swap the mobo or just send you a refurbished piece.

So You've done nothing?
Okay, well first i recommend doing the "obvious".
1) Hold Down the Power Button
else
2)Load device manager on your PC and connect your Phone, anything coming up?
else
3)leave it in the charger overnight.
Also if the battery is dead, it won't show anything on screen, it'll be black only.
then when it has enough power it'll show a red light at the bottom.

Push and good the power button for 20 seconds. See if after it'll boot

Maybe try giving it a while on the chargee then toggle with the power button. I had a Lenovo tab once that did the same thing, it just suddenly died and I tried doing everything I could to revive it. So I just gave up and left it on the charger for a long time then gave it one last hold of the power button and presto! It was alive.

If you can't turn on the phone, even they wouldn't be able to. I guess you still have a shot at warranty. :fingers-crossed:

i am having the same problem, but when i connect my phone to the computer it's trying to instal the qhsusb_bulk driver, from my reasarch it's a hard brik... same i cand use my warranty because the phone glass it's cracked so the only solution is a jtag but i dont't know if it's posibile for the NEXUS 5. I went to a service and the say it's because of dead software. All i want to know is if it's posibile to resurect it with JTAG.

Same thing happened to my n5 32gb last Thursday. I sent it already to Google. It is unlocked but like new condition visually.

Hardware failures can occur on any device. My HTC One X died within 2 months of usage. That's why the manufacturer provides warranty to take care of it under such circumstances.

You need to use the volume buttons to select recovery option in bootloader and then press the power button to get there.. If the buttons are stuck or do not work, I'm not sure what you could do now other than rma.

Sorry but your solution is RMA only.

I haved this issue 2 month ago tried everyway is possible to fix it but always failed, I think it's because battery,if. You plug your phone to charger more than 6 hours the led switch to red and if you hold power button you will see a empty battery icon but the problem is come from hardware not software trust me.
The only thing I done is just went to Sony warranty service and gave them my phone and they switched my (unlocked)phone with a locked phone.

@raven213
well raven, the phone as i mentioned doesn't enter flashmode, how can i perform flash then?
i do not have any sony service in my country which is a problem if i won't be able to fix it without open the back cover (i'm avoiding that) and i wish there would be any other handful solution!
thank you

Just plug your phone to PC wait a few seconds and it will automatically go to flashmode.

Let me tell you something,when my phone is dead i was able to go into flashmode but no more tried flashing lot of stock ROMs but non of them foxed my problem then i flashed a ftf rom with flashtool and read the log carefully, i saw a eror like that "error battery stats not found", then i plugged my phone to charger an let it stay on charge or a full day, when im unplug it and hold the power button i saw a red led light and a low battery icon in screen,I'm tried lot of things but none of them worked,because as i said it's a hardware problem,phone can't read the battery.

Thanks for all your help and time in participation

because of your green flashing light. normally the light should stay on while charging or, blink 3 times if the battery is empty. but random flashes are a sign for a broken board.

It's electronic. not every device is exact the same and sometimes some parts failure quicker then other parts. maybe you got a lemon device who knows.. (or "monday device" as we say in german hehe).:silly:

If you're lucky and it's battery, then order battery from aliexpress and some stickers for back cover. If u do it right, then waterproof will remain (but it wouldn't risk too much).
If you're not so lucky try to find xz premium with broken screen on eBay and use it as donor for mainboard, as I doubt u will be able to find it cheap or at all.

thanks for your suggestion!
i need to take off the back cover and check it first!
i hope is a software problem and it will be fixed by reconnecting the battery connector!
