Ive been using my HTC One S (S4 version) for over a year. Flashed a CM11 nightly 5 days ago and it seemed to work fine after that. Then suddenly yesterday the phone turned of on its own with a little over 60% charge. Tried to turn it on and it booted ok and afer turning on fully it turned off again. This happened 3-4 times. Then when i tried to turn it on, the boot screen appeared and then it goes black. I figured that the battery mustve gone low so I tried to charge it. The orange led flashed for a few seconds and shifted to solid orange and then in a few seconds it was solid green indicating full charge but still the problem persisted. Ive tried holding power button + volume down but nothing happens. Ive tried going to bootloader while charging but then the led just turns off and the screen blinks once to show bootloader and then its black again and nothing happens. When I release power button + volume down, it just repeats the flashing orange led then solid orange and then green led sequence i mentioned above. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

I am rooted and my Verizon GS3 will not turn on. Not sure what happened. It was not due to flashing because I hadn't flashed a rom; I noticed my phone was off so I plugged it in and went back to it in about an hour and it still would not turn on.
I tried pulling the battery. When I plug the phone in with the battery in it vibrates and then the battery screen comes on but immediately disappears (the red power LED is never on either). If I pull the battery out while the phone is still plugged in the red power LED flashes on and then off.
If I plug the phone in with no battery the red power LED comes on for about 2 seconds and the phone vibrates; the LED goes off but then nothing shows on the screen.
Is this a brick? What can I do? I am going to charge the phone overnight and see if it turns on in the morning.
Thank you in advance.

Hey fellas,
I know there are several threads on this issue,but none of them seems to cover my problem. Today, my HTC One Mini got down to 0%. After i connected it to the power booth, it showed a red blinking light. Nothing special so far. But after 3 Minutes, it showed it would be charging. After two more minutes, it started turning itself on. It vibrates one time, showes me the "HTC - powered by android" screen and then suddenly shuts down again. It shuts down for about 10 Seconds, then starts itself, vibrates and so on and so on.
I've already tried it with two different cables and two different power socket adapaters, also I tried connecting it to my PC via USB. The problem does not seem to change.
I tried rebooting it by pressing the volume down and power button, and the booting screen shows up, but before I can do anything, this damn phone shuts down again.
I'd really appreciate your help, guys!!!
Hi,
It sounds like possibly a stuck power button... A very common issue on many devices. But for other opinions, I will have your thread moved to your device section, here...

Good luck!
Same issue

I have exactly the same issue after trying to use my phone without the battery (with an external adjustable power supply). The phone worked fine for about a week untill I switched it off. Once I turned it on, it started doing what you describe above.
Have you found any solution to that issue already?
My S7 is stuck with a black screen after reboot. It has a solid blue LED light showing but all buttons are not responding.
I have tried inserting the charging cable but it doesn't do anything and when I try to force reboot it (Volume down+Power) it isn't also working.
What should I do
As of right now, you're probably f***ed. I just had that problem 3 days ago, and after letting the phone die, I plugged it in, and while I couldn't get into TWRP, I managed to get it into Download Mode, but after using Odin to flash the stock firmware and everything, I now can't even get back into DM. I made a post just a few minutes ago going into more detail if you're interested in reading it.
Hey guys, i was trying to post this as a reply to this thread but i wasn't allowed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...6IKs71WjSjTXIwm-IHR22AOFfOB0nVMc86EX1986seHCY
So, this morning i woke up to finnd my phone (wich had been charging the whole night) not turning on and with a white led blinking (short flashes, not long ones as in notifications). I don't know if it was just the screen or if it was off, but it wasn't warm or anything. Anyway, i tried turning it on, connect to my pc, switched charger, and nothing happened, i held power + Vol Down, nothing happened. Also tried Vol Up, no results. But when i held longer, it vibrated 3 times (sign of hard reset) and the LED stopped blinking, and i kind of died. I'm assuming its a soft brick.
But i don't know what caused the first symptoms, or what the blinking white LED means. I'm also not sure if i should follow the procedures on the link i mentioned, knowing that i made the hard reset after it was blinking. Im hoping all i have to do is wait for the battery to drain, and it finally turns on asking to charge.
Any thoughts of what i should do? I don't know if i keep it off any power source and wait, or try to recover it as the link suggests.
Thanks! I hope you guys can help me out.
Hello
Today my SM930F seems to have freezed. Basically I picked up the phone and the display would light up only one pixel. Others are utterly black. I tried rebooting the phone. PWR + VOL DOWN, tried rebooting into recovery and download. It seems to reboot into them just fine, but I can't operate them, beacuse nothing shows up. Screen is dead black. Phone is recognised by my computer and Odin. Seems to be charging normally when plugged in a wall charger. As I recall the phone was running a stock rom. LED and soft keys light up normally. Glass is a cracked on both sides of my phone, but I think it's a software issue. In other threads people have reported that Spotify app can cause similar problems and I have it installed.
EDIT: it seems that I cannot boot into download - I tried it, plugged my phone and flashed a stock rom. Whole process ended in 5 seconds, so it seems that the device is either still powered on or hangs on a bootloop - idk
