I borrowed this D2G (stock!!!!!!!!) from a friend while my HTC One is out for a camera module replacement (6/13/13 build date - I had the dreaded Purple low light pictures).
It was working great for 3 or 4 days.
This morning, I opened the Kindle app - as soon as it loaded, the D2G began vibrating and flashing all lights (red and green indicator, keyboard back light and screen buttons) though the screen was completely black.
I had to battery pull because no matter what input I gave, the D2G was doing the above and would not soft reset.
When I reinserted the battery, it began to boot up, I saw the Motorola symbol, but seconds later the same things happened as I described above then the phone became incredibly hot.
I pulled the battery and kept it out of the phone until about an hour ago when I plugged it in here at my office to an A/C charger.
The charging indicator light is on (from PC and from the A/C charger) but the phone is still unresponsive. I cannot hard reboot (volume buttons then power button) - nor is anything lighting up - no green or red led indicator, no keyboard back light, no screen.
Any help?
I would hate to return this to my friend bricked lol.

Maybe bricked, but could be a bad app, battery failure, or even a charger failure.
It is possible if the battery malfunctions, to drain the battery too low, so that the phone's charging software is unable to start.
Sometime when you connect to a wall charger only the green light will come on, that can mean it's too low to show charging but is charging or it means it can not boot at all.
Several things can be tried
Hard reset
safe mode
-
leave connected to wall charger for several hours 6+

if you get no signs of life from those options, maybe time to find a known good charged battery

So here is the deal...
My kids needed a night light as we are on vacation so I decided to plug the power charger and left the flashlight app on the entire night. Now that I think about it not a smart idea.
When I woke up this AM the phone had the battery charging icon on the screen. This only appears when the phone is charging while it is powered off.
So far I have removed the battery several times and tried to power the phone on with no success.
I have also tried to hold the volume down and press the power button as recommended on various forums with no luck.
I am overseas right now (home town is the usa) and I need my phone more than if I was home .
Any idea how the flashlight app left ON while also powering may have caused this?
Or is this just a coincidence and I am having an issue that others are having and it is not related to what I did last night?
Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.
By flashlight app do you mean one that turns on the camera flash or one that leaves the screen on?
I am also unclear what you mean by:

Does the icon appear even when not charging? Does the screen function at all? Or does the phone seem completely dead, as in not even vibrating when powering on after removing battery.
If it was the camera flash, it might have overheated and damaged something, but this is just my speculation.
By flashlight I mean the one that leaves the screen on in white color.
The icon only appears while the phone is hooked up to the charger. When I unlplug it it disappears. (So to me this answers your question if the screen works at all).
The phone does not vibrate when I try to power it on after I remove and put back the batter.
Thanks for your quick reply and hope this answers your questions.
How do I turn the phone on?
OK, not as stupid as it might sound; when the battery gets to 0 and the phone powers down, I have real problems powering it back up again. Even after it's left plugged in for a while, I just have a flashing orange notification light.
Pressing the power on button does nothing.
Pressing and holding the power on eventually makes the screen flash (hard reset?)
But the phone wont start up unless I unplug it.
Should the phone vibrate/blink/flash to show it is starting the boot up process?
For how long do you charge it after dead?
Is it with the original charger?
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
it is totally normal for htc phones to do that. blinking yellow light means the battery is too low to power the system but it is still charging the battery. after 10-15 minutes of charging, the blinking yellow will change to stable yellow light after which you can press the power button to turn on your phone. hope this helps
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
Which Rom and were you low on battery?

Try leaving in wall charger for. A while...did you recently get it wet or any other hardware failure?
Any charge light if you plug it into the wall charger?

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.

I left it plugged in for a few hours and the charge light would not come on, and no hardware failure or was it wet.
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.
Well, title says it all. My girlfriend's Moto G just went totally dead one day. I took it apart and measured that the battery voltage was very low. I also tried to charge the phone but all that it did is blinking white LED if Power button is pressed.
So, i went to eBay and purchased a new battery which arrived today. Popped it into Moto G aaand.. still no life. Even the white LED did flash no more Tried almost every single trick that I have found, still no luck, however few hours of charging with my G3 charger bring the white LED back to life. Now if I press Power button for a few seconds, white LED flashes quickly 2 times and then it goes away and nothing on screen. If I just let it charge without touching anything, I can see white LED flashing sometimes. Gonna leave it charging overnight and see if that brings it back to life. Any tricks what else I can do with this phone or should I just toss it away?

Can you enter fastboot mode, if you can that might indicate a sign of life.
Can't enter fastboot either Tried to press Vol - and Power, white LED flashed only one time but still no luck :/ Maybe the mobo is bad?
What you have done to it
Just standard use, but one night it just died. It did not wake with overnight charging. It is now sitting on my desk without charger, gonna try it in the evening when i go home. If it does not wake, i think it really is dead
Try looking up the led codes from Motorola's site or something. That might help if there are any. Seems to me that you have some hardware damage. But I might be wrong.
Try keeping it on charger for a few hours, then with charger connected, press power and keep it pressed for like 2 straight minutes. That should at least wake the device. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it is busted :/

Tried that too, even pressed Power button over 2 minutes but all it does is white LED flashing randomly. Without charger it does absolutely nothing. I think the motherboard is busted
Seems like hardware damage to me too, use it for parts or sell it I guess.
why don't you take it to service center
it will be your best bet if engineer have a look whats the issue. just a get a approx cost. they will let you know. :good:
I just replaced the battery as well as both the fingerprint reader and the charging port board. Of course many potential problems with a tripple-fix like that but I actually think I got it right!
Now it appears as the new battery is fully drained and I can't get the phone to boot – not even into Recovery. It doesn't seem to take any charge either.
The bootloader is unlocked and rooted (Magisk) and has TWRP and Lineage 17.1 installed.
When connected to charger, red LED starts blinking but the screen stays black.
After 45 seconds the LED turns off.
Intermittently starts blinking again.
Restarting with VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON doesn't work
It does vibrate after 12-15 seconds but then nothing.
VOL DOWN -> adding POWER BUTTON, then releasing POWER at vibration doesn’t work either.
Resetting battery calibration according to htc-instructions didn't do anything either
VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER for up to 2 minutes
(https://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/faq/what-should-i-do-if-my-phone-will-not-charge.html)
Had it connected to charger for several hours without any result
Had it connected to USB 2.0-port on computer for several hours without any result
Read somewhere that a drained battery might have a hard time receiving the high current from a charger but could work with the relatively weak charging from a USB 2.0-port. (couldn’t find the source right now..)
Wondering whether the battery has been put into "sleep mode" by its protective circuit built due to too low voltage, as described in this thread:
SOLVED: Device will not power on after battery ran dry? - HTC One M8
Have you tried to reset the charging logic of the device, first you must charge your M8 for a minimum of 10 minutes using a wall charger. With the power off, press down and hold the volume up and down button with the power button for approximately 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, release all of...
