There is a "recover your Ville from being bricked" thread-- I'm looking for that now. It does involve ubuntu, so go ahead and pull down the 12.04 distro, I guess--- http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Hopefully some other folks will jump in as well. Luckily you got other phones and it's not completely shot, so we'll see what we can do.
Have you gotten the phone to completely power off, or does it sit there and attempt to boot over and over?

I am lucky I did not destroy the replacement T-Mobile sent me. They sent an LG9 lol
Anyway the phone appears to be completely off. I will put the sim back into the One S

Don't worry about putting the sim back in for now. The best thing to do is to just rule everything out. Mash volume down as hard as you can and hold it until the htc logo goes away. Mine is tricky as hell and any variation in pressure makes me miss the bootloader altogether.
I'm still looking for some further insight.
It doesn't make sense that it would do this while still S-On, as that's the whole point of staying S-On-- not screwing up the bootloader.

I figured as much. Bad-ass. Install fastboot drivers on your PC and run the RUU mentioned in my downgrade hboot thread over on the development forum. You can get that RUU on http://androidruu.com/?developer=Ville. It's the release 309489.
I'm assuming from that horrible crappy team's logo that you're T-Mobile, US, right?

Hey I am hockey fan, like my hometown Flyers and I am T-Mobile US. Follow your threads instructions and I should be good from there?

Are you sure your phone is completely powered off? I couldn't figure that from all these posts...
You said the button lights are blinking and that's all. There is a bug happening sometimes, when display doesn't turn on and was happening also to me while I was testing some ROMs. Could you please hold that power button pressed after the button lights are blinking (that could be a warning that phone will shut down)? Keep power pressed like 10 secs after the blinking starts. Then take your finger from power button, press and hold vol down button and with other finger, press power button again for 2-3 secs while still holding pressed vol down. Phone should go to bootloader

The phone was at a black screen Rapier, I plugged in to charge and no led (orange light). The blinking lights on the bottom appeared when I pressed volume down + power. I held power button for 10-15 seconds, when I released the buttons, the phone went to the black screen and didnt come back until I mashed the buttons down

Just giving you a hard time, lol. It's basketball-only down here and most folks didn't realize we even had a hockey team until they won the Stanley Cup.
Those instructions assume S-Off, so adjust accordingly or go S-Off. I can't remember if Moonshine or Facepalm is the better way to go.

Just occurred to me-- it could be that you were holding the power button too long and it was actually powering it back off. The three buttons blinking are normal when you hold the power button down for ~10 seconds to power off (although on my phone it actually forces it to reboot).

He did get it into bootloader after really mashing the volume key. My phone is similar in that light or medium pressure on the volume key will cause it to miss the bootloader.
I have to take my phone out of the case typically-- frustrating, but this phone is so fast I can overlook it.

No problem. It should charge if you leave it on the bootloader screen (you did, right?) and plug it into your computer. That'll allow you to go ahead and make sure fastboot drivers are working, etc.
And yeah, it takes FORever to download, but I guess it's free, so can't complain. That site was actually down for a few days when I was trying to downgrade my hboot. I made sure to keep a copy of the RUU on my server this time, lol.

Actually, you might even try seeing if it will go into recovery now. If it does, that will allow you to bypass the RUU altogether and just go straight to flashing.
It's your call, but I'd recommend S-Off. It makes flashing on this phone a whole lot less painful.

[Q] Bricked or Something?

Hey guys this is my first time posting.
I've rooted my One X loaded up a ROM (AT&T made sure it was right), was logging into Google, then my phone went black (it's connected to the computer) and it was making a sound like when you plug in a usb drive, then after a few minutes it stopped. The phone is not doing anything, can't turn it off or on. Tried to do a hard reset (volume down + power button for 30 seconds) that did nothing. Tried connecting my phone to Ubuntu and it did nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

That is (mostly) how you get into hboot, not hard reset (is no button combo to reset the phone, per se).
You only need to hold the power button for about 5 seconds. Then release power only, keep holding volume down, and see if the white hboot screen comes up.

Were you using a different companies charger? I've seen people brick from use of diff charger and try holding just power for 30 seconds and see if your key lights blink

The charger is from HTC I've tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds, when I do connect it to the computer it's trying to connect as a HID device but the computer stops trying to install the driver after a few minutes.

No charge light, or any combination of power and or volume button holding is working.
Its not looking so good. If the phone was left on wall charger for a few hours, and no charge light, you are probably screwed. You might look into the unbricking thread in General, since you have a Linux computer.
The fact it went dark after flashing a ROM is suspicious. I wouldn't think it would boot at all if you flashed something that corrupted hboot (like ROM for the international One X). But the timing is awful suspicious. What ROM did you flash?

Good news, I plugged it into the charger and held down the power button, the charge light went to blinking red, then pressed the power button and it went solid. I then was able to get it into bootloader. It was very odd, the batter is at 94%, not sure what was going on, I think it was a bad ROM. I'm going to flash it and see what happens.

This happened to me awhile back. However, I wasn't rooted. I was complete stock. Just left it on the wall charger for an hour, held power button for about 30 econds or so and it deicided it wanted to work again. I was also on 2.20.

HELP!!!!!!!!

this is my first time and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 10 for my at&t htc one x and im stuck on the rotating cyanogemod screen for about 10 mins. i cant get into the bootloader every time i try to reboot it takes me to the cyanogemod screen please help!
Go into twrp and do a factory reset...do you people even read insturctions? God dam
sorry my first time and how do you get into trwp? cause i hold down power and volume down and it just takes me back to the boot loop
Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down
Than select recovery
oh my god. thank you so much. you are a god.

Chill out man.
OP, hopefully you have some fastboot/adb experience. You'll have to extract CM ROM, grab the boot.IMG and fastboot it to your device... Then flash ROM in twrp and reboot.
If it bootloops again, try to flash ROM then fastboot.. Different strokes for different folks

People always think there is something wrong with their phone, but almost always its just a matter of not performing the button sequence correctly. The main thing that people don't seem to understand, is that you need to release the power button only, and keep holding volume down until the white bootloader screen comes up. People seem to be releasing both at the same time, which just causes a normal boot.
All I do is hold power for 10-15 seconds and then once the screen goes black I let go and start holding down the volume rocker until it boots into the bootloader. Much simpler in my opinion

Not many signs of life

Just bought an HTC Sensation off craigslist for $10, Said he couldn't get it to boot so I was wondering if anybody had any ideas why.
Here's what I can get to happen.
1. If I pull the battery then try to turn it on, orange light comes on screen come on for a second and then it turns off. When I plug it into a power source the same thing happens
2. if I hold volume down or up and press the power button, nothing happens on the screen but it vibrates, and continues vibrating, mind you the volume button is missing I'm using a pen to push the button.
3. Read that it could be the battery but I tried the battery in my HTC Inspire and it works fine.
Any ideas what to try next?
Also i get nothing when I plug it into a computer.

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery or otherwise

Hi there,
Sorry but I think I finally found the right forum for this and I wanted to take one more stab before kissing this phone goodbye.
I have a Rogers Galaxy SGH-i727R. About three weeks ago, the phone started re-starting on it's own. I though maybe it was a sticky power key and had that replaced. The problem persisted. I then noticed that it was primarily upon receiving text messages that the phone would reboot. So it seemed it was a software issue. I am running the stable build of CM9.
Yesterday the phone rebooted and never got off the angry alien screen. I pulled the battery, charged it etc and still could not get it to fully boot up. I left it for over an hour. I finally decided to call it quits and re-flash the phone. Problem is, it will not boot into recovery at all. When I hold down Vol + - and Power, it jsut goes into a loop of vibrating every three seconds until I let go and then it tries a normal boot again. Once, I briefly got a screen saying I was trying to install custom software and to press volume up to do so, but before I could hit volume up, the phone cycled off.
I should also mention that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work. I accidentally sliced the wires on the side of the phone when opening it up. I use a software button saver widget to access their functions. I wonder if that issue is related....
Thanks for any advice. I would like to get into recovery so I can load a new ROM or a stock ROM.
If you haven't ventured there yet in this forum I'd recommend Vincom's roundup on just about everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398. I don't know if it will help much in your situation but it's worth a look. Also, you may want to research usb jigs, not sure if they will work with our devices though ... research is the key word.

All I can tell you is that your problem sounds exactly like a stuck power button. I know you replaced it but all the symptoms you point out suggest stuck power button. Maybe try cleaning it again?

But if it were a stuck power button it would not stay on the loading screen indefinitely, no? If I hold down the power button while booting, it will turn the phone off.
Hold vol +- and pwr until it vibrates let go of pwr continue to hold vol +-. You were letting go of all of them at once going by your described method.

Need Help With My One XL Wont Boot!

Today, my family was going to celebrate Canada Day. I was running Root-Box *with Halo!* and everything was well. I charged up my phone to 80%. Cleared the necessary caches, resets, and then proceeded to restore to my now 20 day old ViperXL Backup. I restored and booted , everything was working well, but the phone was hot as it always is when i restore a ROM. So i went to go get ready, when i came back i turned the phone on from standby and it didn't respond. I unplugged it and did all button combinations ( volume up and down and power, volume down and power,just power). I did lots of research and I all I could find was that leave it to cool down then charge. So I left it and came back after 3 hours and it was still the same. Another finding from my research was to charge it. Now, when i do it flashes the red led. and thats all. Its supposed to go to solid red after a while but its been 3 hours and still blinking red. I tried to adb things (adb reboot, addb flash recovery <file link here>). But nothing. So now Im here hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks for reading.
Also, when i plug it into the computer, it detects installs a driver thens stops. It keeps on making connect and disconnect sounds on the computer. Not detected by adb or htc sync manager. I tried all the power cables, stock HTC, apple power block, samsung and even blackberry!

thanks for the reply it connect but disconnects. If you go to device manager it keeps refreshing as it connects and disconnects and then reconnects. When you do however go to human interface devices you see HID interface, and USB input devices. Thanks for replying. I cant get into the bootloader either.

thanks for the reply it connect but disconnects. If you go to device manager it keeps refreshing as it connects and disconnects and then reconnects. When you do however go to human interface devices you see HID interface, and USB input devices. Thanks for replying. I cant get into the bootloader either.

Have you tried the simulated battery pull?? Just hold down power until captive lights start flashing.. let it keep flashing for I think 10-12 times and release power button.

I tried all combinations, it wont go to boot loader, it wont do a simulated battery pull it wont re calibrate the chagring mechanism. (vol up + vol down + power).

lights wont flash. The only thing that flashes is the red LED. it flashes quickly, not slowly like it does when you put it for charging after its dead (no battery).

Stay away from vol up + power. It will put the phone in QHSUSB_LOAD, which nothing good will come from.
You should not be trying "all combinations" just the right one for bootloader. Make sure you are holding vol down, the press power for 5 seconds or so (do the capacitive buttons flash at all if you do that?) release the power button, but do not release the vol down button until the hboot screen comes up. Or of course, you are convinced the phone is still not responsive.
Try this with the charger plugged in and unplugged.
Make sure you charge for several hours on the wall charger, not connected to your computer.

There have been some cases of the phone becoming suddenly unresponsive like this, apparently due to hardware failure. These reports seem to be getting a bit more common as the phone is getting a bit "older" (over a year).
However, since the OP was just futzing with it (restored a nandroid), I tend to believe its not a hardware failure. And that he can still possibly recover.
But that is just a gut feeling (and maybe being too optimistic).
