Hey guys,
I've seen some solutions for my kind of problem but none of them seems to start at my frustrating point.
After I rooted my HTC One S I was able to reboot my device and everything went fine.
The problem occured just when my battery was depleted and the phone got turned off I had no chance to restart it.
The LED did not show me it was charging and it did nothing, when I pressed the power button or the volume/power combination.
So i connected it to my laptop and tried to check my devices through adb.
It says my device is in recovery mode.
Using the fastboot reboot command I was always able to reboot my phone and everything was just fine.
I thought it was alright, as I just had to pay attention not to use up my battery, when not at home.
Today my phone just decided to turn off. It refuses to boot up even with the fastboot help from my PC.
It just says: < waiting for device >
certainly I'm unable to post a link to a screenshot I made of my cmd.
Thank you for all kind of help

I'm attempting to flash clockwork recovery and can't get the phone to respond to fastboot devices when in fastboot mode. I've tried everything I can find with regards to the drivers (pdanet, usbdeview, etc) and I can get google's and pdanet's drivers working fine with the phone booted normally (responds to adb devices). The problem seems to be that windows appears not to even notice that the phone is plugged in in fastboot mode and does not appear in the device manager, making the manual installation of drivers an impossibility.
Anyone know how to fix this?

When I first set up ADB and Fastboot on my pc, I was getting a response when writing 'adb devices' in the console. However, 'fastboot devices' returned absolutely nothing.
Solution (with phone connected to pc and usb debugging cheched):
1-shut down the phone
2-press and hold Volume Up key + Power
3-once in bootloader interface, in the pc command prompt, type 'fastboot devices'.
Voila!
By the way, don't mount the phone as usb storage device.
Thanks for the responses guys but yes, USB debugging is enabled and yes, I've used that way to get to fastboot mode as well as adb reboot bootloader
Hi stoo
I have a same issue - did you managed to find solution for yours?

easy way to set up fastboot

Have the same problem: locked bootloader, not rooted 4.1.2. In ADB everything is ok, drivers ok (in device manager), can get it through "adb devices". But when I boot in fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), I hear the ti-da windows sound (usb unpluged - from adb session), but no ta-di when the phone re-boot in fastboot. No exclamation mark in device manager, nothing. The USB receive nothing when in fastboot. Is it possible that the fastboot image is corrupted? Can I reflash it? Or any other advice?
Thanks
EDIT - SOLVED - at least this step
The problem was the famous "broken power button"! I knew that I had problems with the power button (didn't work - that's why I try to flash a rom (4.2.1 or customized) with sleep tile in notification area).
I thought that the button is all the time OFF and don't switch to ON, but I finally understood that when when I boot in fastmode it freeze before installing device on the PC (I also had no volume up / down navigation in fastboot, a sign that it was frozen). So I ended to consider that the power button was permanently in ON position. I opened my phone and I measure the impedance on the power button. I had ~ 4ohms in off position of the button and 1.8 ohms (cheap multimetter.... probably should be almost 0) in on position. I measured also on volume switch where I had ~ infinite on off position, so I concluded that the button if blocked. I tried to see if I can resurrect it but no choice, so I took it off (unsoldered). I put the battery and the USB cable and boot it. From ADB I reboot it in fastboot and voila! The device popped in device manager! One problem solved! BUT...
I tried to use the Nexus Root Toolkit and it boots in fastmode and try to unlock the bootloader, but it asked me on phone screen if I agree for unlocking. I was able to use the volume to select Yes but I couldn't choose it with power! I had no option but to take the battery off. Starting from that point it was almost impossible to power it again. When I plugged the USB it shown the battery icon (charging). I tried every trick that I found on web, but nothing worked (even to fast plug / unplug many times the USB to overcharge it, but nothing). I was able only by pressing on the middle of volume (so Up and DOWN in the same time) and plus the USB to get to the screen of unlocking bootloader, but without the options YES/NO on the screen. Seems that it saves this state between boots, but why no option? Finally I was unable to boot at all, and it is like totally bricked
I thought that the power button is a simple switch ON / OFF, so I soldered 2 wires and I tried to touch them (short circuit) to simulate the ON, but nothing happened. Is it the button more complex that a simple switch? no ideea...
So now have a better phone than before (at least theoretically it should be able to fastboot), but it values zero because I can't power it on....
OK So I am in the exact same situation.
Nexus S, Broken power button, adb can see the device, fastboot cannot. fastboot cannot be navigated with the volume keys.
I also want to put an other rom onto it, but firstly I want to put TWRP recovery on it, as it supports touch, CW needs the power
button which like mentioned does not work.
I would rather not unsolder my power button to get into fastboot, any suggestions on how that might still be achieved?
thx

Yes, it should have been better for me to have also a possibility to enter in fastboot with the power button blocked in ON position, but I didn't find. And now I know no way how to power it up...
fastboot drivers
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-I9020PWAATT#
has anybody considered using this executable from samsung ..
from what i understood when installing it ,it only unzips the contents at programfiles/Samsung/drivers
then you can check this thread to install them spesifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901617
..In short.
Go to
"Device Manager"
find
"Android 1.0" or something like that (i had my device in fastboot/bootloader mode, dont know if it was necessary)
install drivers from the drivers directory and install
P.S. Mine is an ordinary 9023nexus s (slcd) though
be a bit more careful with nexus s4g
well i had trouble installing the trickroid v7 on my [S3] and it will say OS not installed.
then after many tries, of pulling the usb in and out and restarting several times to bootlocker
I cannot open to bootlocker anymore and the phone seems to died and not be able to charge.
WHEN I HOLD POWER button and volume down, all 3 soft touch keys lit up for 6~7 seconds, then the the black screen flashes a green line and off.
I cannot connect to the computer through usb either, for some reason.
i have the same problem.my phone worked fine, i unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and rooted. yesterday i put my phone on charging and today it was dead??? it flashes 7 times while holding vol down + power and then nothing happens.
EDIT:
i got it working!!! i connected it to pc, run adb command: adb reboot-bootloader and i got bootloader menu, after that i went into recovery and i did factory defaults and rebooted phone,now it's charging and everything is OK!

man.. i know i can fix it... but i cant connect to the damn pc. it unable to detect it... !!!
this is what i have done and got it working. connect phone to pc that has installed htc drivers, hold down volume down button + power, phone flashes 7 times and orange led is working now. after that go to adb, type adb devices and my phone serial number was shown. after that i did the adb reboot-bootloader and my phone was alive again.
p.s. i tried also with HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V1.1,before i made it, to send command, but phone led only show orange light and again went off. u can give a try.... if that dont work, then i think phone is dead and ready for repair :/
Hi,
my phone died yesterday because the battery was empty - so I charged it a little but the phone won't turn back on. The only thing I see are the touch buttons flashing when I hold the power button. And when I hold it long enough, the screen just flashes... When I tried to connect it my computer I got the ADB to work - I even managed to get to the recovery one time (i used the command adb reboot recovery for almost a hundred times before it came on). I wiped everything, reinstalled the rom (TrickDroid 4.0.0), but when I tried to reboot it nothing changed... it's still not working. Fastboot is not working.
Is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks.
Mmm, are you using CWM perhaps? If so, once you get the phone into fastboot - flash twrp.
Some suggestions you can try:
keep trying vol- + power untill you get into fastboot, it should work eventually.
Charge the phone a bit, unplug the usb cable, try and boot it <- This worked for me when my phone acted up like this, took a couple of tries though.
Have you tried spamming adb reboot bootloader ? That should also put you into fastboot eventually.
Once in fastboot, reflash the boot.img for the rom as well.
And once it works again, dont let the battery go flat, this seems like quite a common issue when the battery runs out.
Thanks for suggestions - I wrote a script that tired adb reboot bootloader every 20s .. and after like 400 runs it booted - I have no idea what this is about - but I should buy a new phone...
Tahnks again!
Hello Guys,
My OnePlus One screen broke, it was in my drawer for more than 15 days without charge, i connected charger for 1 hour it just went from 1% to 5% but i didnt thought much about it as my priority was to change screen, i bought touch+lcd with frame and replaced it myself, but it wasnt powering up then i tried putting the backpanel on, it then booted up to the home screen, but the battery indicator wasnt moving up i powered off the phone after that it never turned on, i researched a bit and found out the after long period of time if you dont charge your phone might have problem charging and there was one suggestion which i followed and that was charge OPO using usb cable attached to PC, i left it for somewhat 7hours and it powered on i thought it might be the problem of ROM i flashed official H2OS (regret selecting this rom) using TWRP, it was a catastrophe my phone wont Enter Bootloader or Recovery, and wont even boot to system, it seemed i hardbricked my device, i used Oneplus one recovery tool 64GB to bring my device to life but after that no matter what i do my device wont enter to bootloader as the volume up button stopped working too : tried advance reboot, powerup+volumeup, opo toolkit.
Help me, i want to root my device and unlock bootloader once again.

Is your volume up button actually broken or does it still work and can you boot into something? If it still works (hold on, this idea might be a little crazy xD) you could try completely hard bricking (no joke! you cannot get into Qualcomm download mode with a booting device) and restoring it with the msm8974downloadtool from the oneplus one unbricking guide which should theoretically fix everything that is wrong.

Even If my volume button dosent work then why wont it enter bootloader via advance reboot it just restarts to system after selecting reboot to bootloader,so i should hard brick my device once again, P.S. i have done that twice before though.

I had the same exact issue when it switched to slot B and stopped showing up on my computer when the device was in fastboot and I had no access to recovery mode. Try powering the phone down from fastboot with the power off menu. Then turn the phone on by holding the power button down and keep it pressed (it should cycle on and off b/w fastboot and a black screen. Keep holding until you feel a short vibration after about 30s - 1 min) It should then show it in adb and fastboot on your computer.
EDIT: If the phone isn't powering on, try charging it and if that doesn't work, try hard resetting it by holding the power button down for 30s-1 min. Can't imagine a bad flash would completely cause the phone to at least not load the bootloader.
