pleaseeeee help me fix my phone
phone is not rooted and running andorid 4.1.2
Firstly, why are you trying random button combinations? There's only one button combo that you should use and that's power + volume down. Next, when you connect the phone to your PC, does it show up in Device Manager? What does it show up as?

There's plenty of information right here in this device section that tells you exactly which button combo to use. Just trying random things is a very bad idea, that's how you damage your phone. Anyway, are you sure you can't get into the bootloader? Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

I know what bootloader is i can't go to bootloader .i think thats because fastboot was checked on when this happened

I'm not saying you don't know what the bootloader is, I gave that information because 99% of the time not being able to get to the bootloader is user error. I'm trying to help you and just making sure all bases are covered.

It's too hard to say, you might have just gotten really unlucky and have a spontaneous brick. A jtag repair might be able to revive it though so look into that.

It isn't something you can do yourself. I'm not sure where you are in the world but you'll need to find a professional who can do it for you. If you're in the US I hear good things about Mobiletechvideos, I don't think they have a web site but they're on YouTube and Facebook.

I've did some searching on this and tried everything listed but I may have a unique case here. I had a buddy call me a couple days ago and tell me about his issue with his One X. I started digging on here and found a couple of tips and tried them all for him and no go.
I asked him what he was doing when this happened. It is a Rogers One X and he attempted to install a CM9 ROM for the international One X. He assumed a One X was a One X. I've only dabbled with my Galaxy Nexus and Transformer Prime, but I'm assuming this is the issue with his phone. Am I wrong?
Is there a way to fix it? I've had the phone for a couple of days and I can not get it to power up. The LED doesn't come on either when the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried a couple different chargers and cables and same result.
Hoping I can some how save this for him.

Tried this...dead. No response from it at all. Would the CM9 ROM push out a different boot.img file and that be the problem?

charge it fully
power it up holding the volume button DOWN. If you can get to the bootloader you're not bricked and can re-install the rogers firmware.

yes...but it should still hit the bootloader, hell even recovery. try the same method with vol up instead... then plug into pc... see if there's any connection.
This thing takes forever to boot compared to me older devices. I'm thinking it's not totally off... try holding the power button for a long time... like 15 seconds +. see if any lights flash..
The trick is we need it in a full off state and power it up with vol down and power.
It could be in a kernel boot loop that you can't see anything.

Nope not at all. Other then voiding the warranty, which with the bootloader unlocked is probably voided already, I'm debating cracking into the case and unhooking the battery and rehooking it up.
If it's dead it has warranty

It actually might be recoverable, but it's a lot of work.
Do this.
On a linux machine, while plugged into usb - push and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Release it. IMMEDIATELY and REPEATEDLY do ls /dev/sd*
Do the ls over and over again (for around 20 seconds or so) and see if a bunch of new devices show up and subsequently disappear.
If they don't, push and hold power for another 10 seconds, release, repeat.
If you get devices to show up, it's recoverable.
He bricked, is a shame but that's the risk you take when you flash a ROM meant for another phone...
I bought a phone called Samsung Captivate from craigslist. The bad thing about that is the power button did not work. I knew it didn't work thinking I could fix it. I took the phone apart to clean the button. I read that a "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" would help. I used that. It didn't help. I am think that software is the issue. I want to return it to a stock ROM becuase this phone is rooted. In order to do that I need the the power button to work, to enter it into download mode. Ive tried apps to shutdown the phone, Nothing would help. If anyone can help me that would be awesome.

There are thankfully multiple ways to get into the recovery and download modes. Definitely get a handle on the ADB command line to, it's the easiest in my opinion.
If you can't fix the button don't sweat it, I've used my cappy for the last 6 months without it. Use ROMs that have a "volume rocker unlock" feature and learn to use the soft buttons to navigate recovery mode.

Your volume down button is pressed. When you reboot the phone while holding volume down it takes you to the bootloader. See if the button is jammed in. If so, try tapping the phone against your palm to unstick it.

Oh and the power button isnt working because when I click power to select the first option (the fastboot thing,whatever that does...) It only worked right when this problem happend, and after that It wont do anything D:

You're just stuck in bootloader. You should still have a ROM installed to boot to (if you didn't wipe that when you reset). Should be able to battery pull and boot normally.
Oh wait, it thinks you're holding volume when powering on cuz your button is stuck. That is hardware failure. You may, actually, have to use insurance, or your provider may even swap it out for fairly cheap if it was purchased fairly recently.

He was saying that the problem may have been a sticky power button, and to remove it will need a soldering iron. He has done a few this was and never had an issue.
On topic, I have had the same issue with multiple roms, a black screen after the Samsung screen goes away. Did it with the CM 10.2 and the DU rom.
So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^

I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.
