I use it as my second phone but it had all my important docs in it so what happened was it had 40% charge last night but when i woke up today it refused to turn on and i plugged it almost for 6 hrs into the socket it refused to charge,the red light doesn't turn on neither it goes to the bootloader
-->One other thing it was still on Sense 4 and andriod 4.0.4 i guess so i tried to update it manually,(it was a fail actually) i followed every step given on htc website but nothing worked it said error 171 usb not connected htc sync is also installed on my pc so drivers were there i tried to get into fast boat through bootloader but no luck there so rebooted my device started using it normally and then when i woke up it was not turning on
-->also i tried every combo written on the forums like holding down power button+vol down ,power+vol up,power+vol up and down nothing worked
any gurus out there who can help me ? i know repair is an option but show me your expertise
It's dead, mine did the same thing, did you notice it running hot lately? There are data solution companies you can send it out to in order to salvage everything but as for the phone it's toast.

Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
Not sure but I had a fairly similar problem which i barely got out of, hope it helps,
I was restarting my phone for some reason(while battery was low) and when it was turning back on, the screen was black at the time, i connected the usb cable for power and the phone never started. it stayed at the black screen, but in complete darkness you could tell the display was on, but in normal it would seem the phone is not even turing on.
I thought i bricked it for some reason, but what i did was charge up the phone a bit, combination of connecting to the computer and ac wall charger. The phone only restarted when connected to the wall charger so then in order to get into bootloader, i held the volume down and power, and plug the charger at the same time and after multiple attempts it finally managed to get into restart into the bootloader, than you just reboot into recovery and you should know the rest, factory reset or flash a clean new rom.

What happened to me is that I forgot to put my one x on charge overnight and when I woke up in the morning it wouldn't turn on and it "wouldn't charge". What had actually happened here is that I fell victim to the charging issue as many will. But I shall cut to the chase, how to fix the problem. This seems to happen with a lot of android phones, but more so, a lot of HTC phones. The phone seems to charge excruciatingly slow until you actually get the phone on, so first things first, lets turn the phone on.
1. Plug you HTC status into your PC/Laptop via the USB charging cable that is turned on and leave the phone there until you see the orange blinking light.
2. Find you wall charger and QUICKLY unplug the USB cable from the PC/Laptop and plug it into your status. (the reason for the quickly is because the phone won't charge through the wall charger unless you get that orange light blinking) I made you change to the wall charger as it charges quicker.
3.Wait until the orange light stops flashing (or maybe it wont so wait about 15 mins) then hold the power button until the phone turns on. If it doesn't turn on after 15 mins continue to let it charge (one person had to leave it charge for an hour)
4. You're done! your one x is saved!
OK so the reason that we let it charge for a bit is because the one x seems to have an issue getting charged every once in a while, this trick gets the one x's battery to 2% and once you've turned the phone on, it can charge completely.
I hoped this helped,

Same here !!!
I had this same problem with my device already TWICE..... in two weeks. I bought my phone, installed what i need.... in first week phone got dead overnite.... no charging light, no reset, nothing.... I put in on warranty repair.... after it came back the statement said that what I said did not appear so they reflashed it to newer ROM only....how I don't know when the phone was completely dead... I again installed all I need a next week after happened the same!!!! At evening phone was charged full and at morning it was dead. So second time i put it on warranty repair and they said that is my problem, that I should not install any another apps from MS store !!!! I mean what the F**K, I buy overexpensive phone and I should use it without additional apps from MS store??? then I need only Nokia from 1990 and I'll be set to phone and write sms My 8X is still in repair so we will see what will happen next time.... but to say truth, I'm fed up with this phone already...
Just happened to me few days ago with the battery at about 10%. after i totally gave up and ready to send it for warranty repair. After a day, it started again as the battery was fully drained. it seems that the phone freezed somewhere with the screen off and the only trick was to drain the battery. no key combination was working and no charging lite. It could be so easy if the battery was accessible, unfortunately it's not ((

Hello,
I searched for died 8X Phones. I have the same problem TWICE with my HTC 8X.
The firstdevice is ran 6 weeks, then the repair center has replaced my phone with a brand new one. After 2 weeks exactly the same problem (no function, no loading, no reset, no connection) with the second one
Have anyone an idea which function or app the phone lets crashing?
I woke up this morning to my HTC 8X being powered down when I know it had at least 45% battery. When I tried to power the device back on it would not come back on. I contacted HTC and they told me to press camera button+vol down+power for fifteen seconds and when the device vibrates to let go of the power button but keep the camera+vol down buttons pressed, when I attempted this nothing happend so the HTC representative on the phone advised me to just send it in for repair. I've owned the phone for a little over a month and a half, was on the latest firmware, and had the phone protected with full body invisible shield and HTC doubleshot case.
Had this problem yesterday...suddenly phone died and nothing
waited till i got home from work and plugged it in to the laptop and it sprang back to life saying it was compleatly out of charge....was showing 80 odd % before hand
Hi!
I'll start from the beginning
About a month ago I flashed the Nik Project X rebirth rom"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226221" and I''ve been using it for the last month with no problems. 2 days ago when I woke up in the morning (I charge mhy ohone every night), my phone says it only has 7% battery.. And I use it for the whole day and the day after and it still says 7%. There is a setting called hot reboot you can do to restart the shell so I did it and it rebooted with no problems and nothing changed. But still the 7% is there and it wont charge so i think that if I turn it off it might work charging but it doesnt, when you plug in the charger the led light flashes red around 30-40 times and then stops and the phone isnt starting whatever i do.. I try holding the power button for 4 sec and nothing happens it just wont start. only the led light seems to work. anyone of you guys that know what I should do?
please help me.. ::crying:

the pc doesnt recognize it at all...the charger makes a "bip" everytime i plug in the phone the led blinks a couple of times before fade again
tried hard/soft reset, tried to put it on bootloader, pressed Vol - and Power button, i keep em pressed for like a minute and nothing happened.
It doesnt show up a Qualcomm dispositive. i mean is not bricked, i never installed a custom ROM/RUU/

Run the OEM RUU first ( you need to know what network the phone is locked too and choose the matching RUU, should you have a few options to choose from then choose the highest number or latest version, if it's unlocked choose the HTC RUU again the latest or highest definition).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
If all else fails ...
Send it back to HTC service centre. Best outcome they'll repair it for free, worst outcome they will tell you how much it'll cost to be repaired and if you choose not to repair then you have to pay P&P for device to be returned. The choice is yours!
Hope that helps.

When you mean you tried to replug the battery, does it mean you were able to open the casing of your oneS? It seems your problem is you have a bad battery, or else your battery is dead.

yeah i was able to open the phone, the battery is connected via pin to the motherboard (i though it was solder to the main base)
I'm going to try to charge the battery with an external charger, then plug in to the phone and see what happens.
Is all because of a bug on CWM....TWRP the best!

yes, as I can recall on the battery pin, you'll just have to connect the red and black pin to an external power supply, good luck mate! you can do it! :highfive:
Came home from work yesterday and the Pure XL was dead, said it needed to be charged. Never happened before but I figured whatever and plugged it in and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and powered on the phone and the all white BLU splash screen came up and then the phone went off. Came on again and the all white BLU splash screen came up and went off. Ive tried holding down the power button for over a minute. Tried holding the power button and volume keys to boot into recovery from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, nothing stops it! It just keeps rebooting. This has been my apprehension towards purchasing phones with non removable batteries. The boot recycle happens about every 15 seconds and the phone vibrates everytime it boots up for the past 2 hours. Its getting very annoying and there is no way to make it stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plug it into your computer (you'll notice that there will be a longer black screen in-between the bootloops) and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds or more, then release it after the next vibration and the white BLU screen shows up. It might take a couple of tries.
If you manage to boot into at least recovery but can't boot into the system, then try clearing your cache/dalvik cache and try rebooting into system again.
If all of the above doesn't work for you, then your boot.img/system has gone bad, and you'll have to flash the stock images with SP Flash Tool (both of which can be found on other posts on this forum).
follow the instructions on the SP flash tool thread... sounds like what happened to me after bad flash... theres a lot of information in that thread that will set you up...
Thanks for the quick replies guys. The PC trick didnt work at all. I just called BLU and asked for a replacement(havent heard back from them ironically). I put the phone in the basement so I wouldnt have to deal with that incessant buzzing every 15 seconds. Eventually the battery died. Since I had it powered off finally, I plugged it in for about 10 minutes to give it enough of a charge to power on but not stay on to buzz for another 2 hours. This time I powered it on using the master reset button combo and was finally able to wipe the cache and restart the phone. Took a good 4 or 5 minutes to boot after that, but everything has been fine since. Really dont know what initially caused the issue, never happened before. Good thing too, cause BLU told me that they would send me a RMA within the hour and I still havent heard from them. Think this will be my last BLU phone. Thanks for the assist.
My phone Is stocked without root or Twrp. And I find my self having a bootloop once a month for an odd reason. This forces me to take bat out and put it back in or just let it loop til battery dies

My phone is basically out of the box and I'm getting boot loop problems when I first boot. This happens like once a month
Sent from my PURE XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
This happened to me for first time yesterday. Bought the phone earlier this year and everything worked fine. I restarted the phone because my sound recorder app froze up twice on open and the infinite boot started until the battery died. Tried the {power}{vol up} thing, didn't work to stop it, so I put it in my car and went back to the conference I was attending. Battery was dead when I got out. Contacted BLU by phone and they started a ticket for me, but I figured I'd see if other people were having this issue and learn what they did because I'd rather not be out of a phone for however long it takes for BLU to replace mine. Stumbled on this page. I never rooted my phone. And BLU only sent one wireless update since I've had the phone. I'm trying to get into the menu by connecting to the computer. Worked the first time, I cleared cache, and tried to backup my files, but I'd taken out the SD card in expectation of sending it to BLU. So, Powered off the phone, put the card back in, and now I haven't been able to get the menu back. Still working on it, if there are any suggestions anyone drops on me before Tuesday when I'll likely ship it (or at least hope to because I'll be yelling at them Monday), I'd appreciate it.

I tried to flash the phone, but the bootloop apparently wouldn't allow that. I had 0.0% progress after 3 hours. I then tried to go back into the menu you get from {Power}{Vol UP}: still no go. So, I started to take the phone apart again to get ready for shipping. The battery was still low so it didn't take long for it to die after I unplugged it from the computer. Out of curiosity, I tried to repeat finding the menu like I did earlier that day (conditions were that the phone had no charge when I connected it to the computer, and my SD card was removed.) No go. But, then I hit {Power}{Vol Up}{Vol Down} just to see what happened, and boom. My phone loaded up. No loop... Figured somehow the files had copied and the status bar was wrong. Turned the phone off, put my SD card back in and turned the phone on. Loop reappears ...I waited for the phone to die again, took out the SD, attempted to turn it on and the loop was there. Connected it to the computer and hit all 3 buttons, and the phone loads up. So, now I'm confused. Is there any way that the problem is some crappy connection to the SD?
