Sorry if I explain this horribly, will try and be as descriptive as i can.
Was using CM 10.2. Had a problem, which I was on the way to fixing. I was having an internal storage fault which was fixed by using stock recovery, could then flash TWRP back and everything worked fine. Then one day it all decided to die. Phone would just get past the HTC logo screen and would then die before booting Android. I could however get into bootloader/fastboot/recovery ok. However could not mount internal storage-windows wasn't picking it up when plugged in, so flashed stock recovery again and this seemed to make it mountable again. So was able to put CM 10.2 back, so re-flashed CM with no joy, wiped caches and data etc, still nothing. Didn't want to boot Android. Boot.img was flashed and everything. Went back into bootloader, however upon unplugging the USB cable, the phone turned off.
Tried turning the phone back on and it just showed the HTC logo screen for a slit second and died.. then showed it again for a split second. Does the same for the recovery screen if you hold down Vol Down and power - shows it for a split second and then dies.
But if you plug the charger in (orange light comes on) and turn it on, the orange light goes off.. stays off for a moment..and then comes back on, phone does not turn on. BUT if you press the power button and the orange light turns off and then you quickly hold the Vol Down and power button at the same time (before the orange light comes back on) it will bring up the bootloader.. and it stays on. I can try booting and it shows the HTC logo screen as normal but then turns off again before booting android (same problem i was having before the charger issue). I can go into TWRP recovery no problem, i did factory reset for good measure while there but the moment you remove the charger, it turns off. Its like the battery is totally dead but TWRP shows it as 90+ %
If you leave it to charge completely and the orange light turns green. It WILL bring up the HTC logo screen as normal (not for a split second) but eventually turns off again and doesn't boot android. Green light then turns orange again and it only shows the screens for a split second.
I've flashed this phone with a couple of ROMS before and have had my share of issues but nothing like this, i'm stumped. I think Android not booting up and the charger issue could be unrelated but I could be wrong, never faced this kind of problem. Been looking around, cant find an issue like this, i fear it could be a hardware issue as supposed to a battery calibration issue.
I would like to drain the battery completely and give it a full charge just to see what happens but i cannot keep the phone on without it charging, so cannot drain the battery...
Any help/advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.

I tried to understand as much as i can and it seems like a corrupted BL/recovery .Have u tried flashing your stock rom?If there is still a problem , then it may be a hardware issue . Try contacting HTC service centre if it's a hardware issue.
If it's not a hardware issue then try flashing some other room and recovery.

Hi
Strange occurrence today. Turned on phone--nothing. Reset battery and it booted fine, but after awhile (when the screen timed out) it went back to black. When I turn it on it goes to dark blue (BSOD?) but nothing else happens, however as soon as I reset the battery, it will boot successfully and as long as the screen is on, the apps seem to work etc. As soon as I lose the screen, I lose the phone again. Volume down followed by power switch brings up the same BSOD.
The lcd is on and the phone is apparently charging regardless.
Can anyone help get me back in business?
Thanks
My phone is rooted with stock rom. The only changes are listed below
Froze bloat that was safe
changed bootanimation to stock samsung
replaced some apps with inverted versions of themselves (ex. google +, stock messaging)
Here goes:
I was using navigation and I noticed that my phone was off after I had finished. Nothing worked at all, I could not boot into recovery or download. I connected the phone to a charger and red led flashes and an empty battery appears. The battery was full. I could reboot the phone while on the charger, but it would shut off as soon as it got to the homescreen. While off, If I pressed the home button, the green battery would appear as if it were charging. From here I could boot into recovery and download mode. The phone will only boot into these modes while connected to the charger. Here is where it went bad. I attempted to restore a backup while the phone was on the car charger and my car charger got pulled out in the middle of a restore. No charger meant that the phone shut off mid restore. Now, when I plug in the phone, the red led appears and the empty battery with a circle inside appears and then goes away. This repeats itself over and over and the phone buzzes when the empty battery reappears. I can still boot into download mode but not recovery. If I try to flash the stock samsung rom via odin, it says that it passes, however upon automatic reboot the samsung appears and nothing else. After the samsung appears the phone just continues to buzz every 5 seconds or so as if it is trying to do something. Could it be a bootloop? I have done a ton of searching here and now I am resorting to help! Your time is appreciated and beers on me if you can help me get my phone back to normal.
What Rom/kernel were you using before this happened? If custom, which one?
I have another thread a few posts down with the same topic. I am going to delete this one. I was stock rom and kernel. For some reason the phone will not recognize the battery. I tried a new one at verizon and the same thing. I can now boot into both recovery and download mode when connected to the charger , but the phone shuts off as soon as it boots and shows an empty battery with a circle in the middle. Sometimes it does not make it through the verizon boot animation and sometimes it makes it all the way to the homescreen and I can make a few selections before it turns off. After flashing the stock kernel and rom in odin I believe i am completely stock, however I do not want to chance sending the phone into Verizon. I believe that I saw a thread before this happened to me talking about having to calibrate the battery in some way and it had an item to flash in order to fix the problem. I can not find it now. Any ideas? Now that I can access recovery is there anything else that can be done? Why won't the phone recognize that it has a battery? As soon as I pull it off the charger it shuts off. When it is on the charger it appears to be charging and the green in the battery appears to be at about 80% but the level does not move up or down at all. Thank you for your help ahead of time.
The TL;DR is - Running ROM fine. Phone boots up but screen does not turn on. Does not seem to boot into recovery/download mode. adb is attached aka works.
Phone was sitting on desk, untouched and not charging. Now the phone screen does not come on, but hardware keys light up and notifications come on. I then charged the phone for several hours. Hard reset with a battery pull, let it sit for 10 mins, try to reboot. The phone vibrates once, and 30 seconds later notifications come in, hardware lights come on, and led blinks. So the phone is booting fully, but no screen on.
If I try either of the recovery or download combinations, the same normal boot up happens. So I cannot seem to get into recov/download normally. Odin does not recognize the phone. Windows OS recognizes the internal and external storage as normal. "adb devices" returns nothing.
Is there anything you think may solve my screen-off predicament? .... Worst case its a hardware problem Other than that, I am friggin stuck here. Your assistance and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Had a similar issue when a flashing went bad. My charger was plugged in and for some reason it just kept looping like you mentioned. No combination worked.
I disconnected charger and pulled battery. Waited a few seconds and did the recovery combination. That did the trick. Hope it helps

I am open to suggestions. Plan on opening and operating, as I suspect it's a hardware issue. Worst case, any have experience with replacements?
(Oye, now I'm reviving the OG Droid Incredible ...)
Take it into a pitch black room and look closely, does the backlight try to turn on? I had a very similar problem where my backlight just died, I could see the faint outline of my home screen (like my brightness was on -50% lol) and everything worked but the screen. Ended up being a hardware problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot see even the faintest of light, just pitch black screen.
It's peculiar though --- the hardware buttons are not vibrating. As if it's not recognizing any input other than the Power Button. And thus, maybe why its not recognizing the volume rocker to get into recovery.
Bump: adb now works and recognizes my device. Open to suggestions!!!
edit: Tried adb reboot recovery ... phone turned off, vibrated, then received no input whatsoever -- however still made the connection noise when plugging into USB. Only solution was a hard reset.
Hello,
I flashed the latest LRX22C image on my nexus 5 today.Had flashed it clean,wiping data,cache and system etc except the Internal Storage.Then I flashed the SUPERSU 2.37 ZIP .Everything was fine for about 4 hours.Then suddenly when I pressed the power button to turn the screen off,it was not turning off and the "Switch off" mode was popping up instead .Then, when I got a call,it switched off.The phone won't turn on again.It starts,the Google Boot Splash appears and the bootanimation starts for like 2 seconds and it switches off.Same thing for bootloader mode.
Please Help me!
EDIT: Now its turning on by itself and switches off in 2 seconds!
Sounds like a bad power switch to me, but of course that is just my opinion. :good:
sounds like a mech issue.

I have the same problem on mine now... Basically my phone powered down around 45%. Battery. At the time i thought it was dead... But it wasnt. When i would plug into external power, either usb or through wireless charging it would power cycle continuously at the android splash screen.... (1 to 2 second intervals - even if i booted into fastboot) Interestingly it would never go to the battery charging mode. But automatically boot on charge... It did this for about 6 hours then i gave up and left it unplugged for a day. I plugged it back in and it started power cycling again, however this time on its third boot it came back to life . thats when i discovered i still had 40% battery... I dont know what exactly made it boot but it did. Oddly also on boot, it started optimising apps and finishing install again. I checked the md5 before I installed the update so no issue there. Since it powered up i have powered the phone off using the power button long push and let the phone power down. After doing this when i plug the phone in to usb charge it goes to the charge screen. No issue. That said, if i try to power up while tethered and charging it will not allow it. It just stays at the charge screen. As soon as i unplug the usb the power button allows the phone to power up and work... When booted up it charges as normal when plugged in. Im convinced there is an issue with the power management drivers or drivers for the button controls. My phone worked fine until the 5.0.1 update was installed. On my nexus 5. Anyone else or just us two? Ive had a hard time finding people posting on this issue.
Hey i am new to this forum,so sorry if i am posting this in wrong section or smtn like that .So yesterday i was searcing the web when suddenly my screen turned completely blue!That lasted for about a second ,and then it came back to normal.After a few seconds it happened again but many times in a row.I tryed to power it up ,but on boot,it turned blue again and shut down again.It was off whole night,and at morning,it booted normaly,andbi managed to move all my data to computer.After i finished that,i tryed looking what could be the reason for this to happen.But phone shut down again.Till now i was able to turn it on for about 2-3 seconds and then again shut down.The thing that i noticed is that when phone is booting,it will warm up pritty fast,but not at some high temepratures,but that much that i can fill that it is hotter.I decided to try to put it charging,but the battery icon would appear,and after few seconds screen would be blue again,but it would charge.I also noticed that led indicator was showing charging but with low light.I decided to factory reset,oressed few buttons and screen turned off,but led indicator became much more noticable.Now it wont turn on.I tryed power cycle but it does nothing.Any solutions?My phone is alcatel idol 3 6045k with stock 5.0.2 android.
assuming your phone has a charge.
press and hold the power button till the acatel boot screen shows up.
the phone should reboot this may take 30 seconds to 1 minute to reboot.
you might see if you can get into the boot loader also.
it could be worse issues wich others here might be able to help more with.
Sounds like a hardware failure. I recommend sending it in for repair or replacement.
warranty repair...
