Hey all, I searched around, just haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
First, I did get it to bootup after holding Power+vol up/down, and I'm trying to understand what happened.
Running stock Verizon 4.4.2
Bootloader unlocked, S-off
Rooted
The phone was at about 75% charge and I was viewing gallery. I noticed that videos were no longer playing and was trying to get one up. The phone suddenly went black as if it powered off. I pushed the power button- nothing. Held the power button - nothing. Did that a couple more times for longer.
Then hooked it to charge - no light, nothing.
After a quick search I found a suggestion to hold power+vol up/down 1-2 minutes. I did that and it booted in about 15 seconds.
My question is, what happened? why?
Is there a way to avoid it?
And if it does it again what is the best way to get it restarted?
I still plan on flashing a newer ROM, just haven't done it yet.
Thanks
Really, no thoughts on this? Phone goes blank, won't restart. Someone on XDA must at least seen it.
Happened to me once but due to my own mistake.
I wanted to boot phone into bootloader, instead of shutting and then pressing vol down + power, i forced shut the phone by pressing power + vol up, here is where i commited the mistake, instead of holding the buttons for 7 secs( after which the phone should go off) i held them a bit longer mayb 15-20 sec, after tht i tried to boot into bootloader by pressing v up + power , nothing happened, did that several times, again nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, connected to usb, again nothing.
It seemed like i had hard bricked the phone(thoughts of losing the phone came to my mind) but after trying and trying and trying again and again. It did got up(i held vol up + power for 7-10 sec, without releasing the power button, and releasing the vol up button, instantly held vol down button and it booted to bootloader).
Mayb the phone enters into some other kind of mode which only HTC is aware of.
Thanks piyushkohli97 for the reply.
Hasn't any developers run into this? Or someone with an understanding of the issue? It doesn't seem uncommon. I'm hoping to gain some insight into the issue. Anyone else?

Please I need help, I was using whatapp when my nexus 5 froze. Then I hold the power button and the phone restarted normaly, but when it was showing the google logo it froze again turn off and now It does't respond to anything. I alreadu tried with hoding the power button or holding Volume up+Volume down+power and it didn't respond. Please help me!!I forgot to say that the phone was almost fully charged and wen I connect the phone to my notebook, windows doesn't recognizes the device.
Hold down power button for more than 30 seconds and see whether it boots up?? If not, hold down volume down button+power button together for 15+ seconds and see whether the phones goes to bootloader?
If above things fail, connect it to a wall charger and leave it for an hour or so and try to boot it up. If you still cant, it's probably a hardware failure and it needs repair.

It seems that is a hardware fail then, because I follow those instruction several times, and nothing happens. The phone remains dead.
When you connect it to a wall charger, the front LED become red ?
I dont think my Nexus 5 died because the last I saw it still had above 20% to 30 %, but it did just turn off on me and now it will not turn back on. I tried holding down the volume up+volume down+power button for more than 10 seconds and nothing. also tried vol+ + Power and vol- + power. Here's where it start to get werid. I tried to plug it into my PC, but it doesn't recognize it. It's just trying to install the "QHSUSB_BULK" driver (and fail). Also when I place my phone on the charger, nothing happens. I know you cannot take the battery out which really annoys me. After few hours, I tried just turn on with power button and voila, it worked. but i don't know why. it happens randomly. i am root user and tried different roms but still happening. any ideas?
Your battery seems to be near limit of it's age. Try calibrating battery..
Hi!
A couple of days ago I got an HTC 10. First I unlocked the bootloader using the official HTC method found on their site. Then I rooted it and for a while it was fine untill I tried to put it in to download mode by using the holding down the volume down and power buttons for a few seconds. At first it would just restart in normal mode so I tried a few times and then decided keep pressing the power and volume down buttons until it goes into download mode. When I did that the phone buzzed three times and then just shut itself off. I haven{t been able to turn it back on since then. I tried all of the methods I was able to find on the internet with no luck. Here is the curious thing though, for the first hour or so after that happened the phone would very briefly buzz after I have been pressing power and volume down buttons for about 10 seconds but still wouldn’t turn on. Then I connected it to my computer and my PC would recognize that something is plugged in by giving me an audio notification but still wouldn’t be able to communicate with the phone. After that I plugged it on and waited for a few minutes, when I checked on it it was pretty hot to the touch, so I unplugged and tried to start it up again and this time it wouldn’t even buzz. Right now I am trying to charge it and it is not getting warm nor has any indication that it is charging.
Did I just **** up a perfectly good phone or there is still something that can be done?
Thanks!
Hi,
have you tried a soft reset? (Power button + Volume down button for 12 to 15 secs)
I think my phone has gone forever, but I'd like to check here if someone can save it.
I've been using this phone for 3 years, no changes besides OTA updates. Suddenly, screen froze and I held POWER button until it turned off. Then it rebooted and showed honor powered by android in blue background. It shows only that screen for a minute or so and then reboot again. If I hold POWER button, it'll reboot again (it won't turn off). The only combination of keys that produces different result is combo of VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER, which will turn screen black, then vibrate and then turn off (if I release keys before it vibrates, it'll start over).
I tried to put dload\UPDATE.APP in sdcard and nothing happened. I also tried all combinations described in a post I found in modaco forum (www[dot]modaco[dot]com/forums/topic/377629-honor-8-button-combinations-clarified/) and I don't get any other result besides what I described before.
Is there any way to fix it??
Did you try to press power and vol- ? When it boot, release power and keep your finger on vol- while connecting to a computer using USB. Normally, you should access to fastboot
EDIT: Oh sorry, in hurry I have not pay attention to the website you quote :'(
My phone stopped working all of a sudden since last night, it was just sitting on the side idle and all of sudden it started showing a black samsung screen and hung and did not respond to any touch or anything else, At this point pressing powering button alone did not turn off the device, so I remembering pressing all of the button simultaneously and that turned off the phone but since then it wont turn on at all. I cant recall if the phone was on charge or not before it hung. But I am 100% battery was charged at least 70%.
After all that, I have tried all the possible combination of hard resetting this phone and still no luck to get it to power up.
Left the phone to charge overnight and in the morning tried restarting again with all the possible combination and still no luck to power up. I am clueless now.
Please let me know what could be the issue?
Any help would be appreciated
Update on the situation:
So Today I tried turning on the phone again and I pressed power+Volume Down+Home button and the phone started and it took me to the download mode. However when I pressed the up button it did not restart and stayed off, I pressed and held the same combition of buttons which are Power+Volume down+Home button then it took me to download mode again but I could not do much other than uploading a new firm to the phone which I did not want to do that. So I decided to restart it again by pressing the up button and it powered off and this time I went and pressed and held Power+Volume up+Home button and it did not do anything I tried this couple of times and still did not do anything. So I tried Power+Volume Down+ Home button and this time the device did not power up again.
At least now I know its not the hardware and some software glitch or a stuck loop.
Can someone please help me with this.
Thanks a lot Guys.
Update again:
Right after putting in the charging cable then the phone started up again and now the phone is showing an android blue screen "No Command" Pressing and holding Power+Up buttons do not bring it into the recovery mode? Please let me know thanks
