Hi all.
I have searched this forum (I know it's very frowned upon to start a thread without doing so) but the symptoms don't completely match my issue so I've resorted to asking.
I have a Nexus 5, which I was using as a hotspot, tethering to an Amazon fire stick, when it switched itself off.
It hasn't booted since, I've tried all possible button combinations for up to 2 minutes and still nothing.
If connected to a charger I get the white battery icon with the lightning bolt for a few seconds then blank screen, this will loop until unplugged.
When I have the battery icon on screen I can hold power button and it will display "Google" and vibrate as if starting to boot, then go blank again.
Have reinstalled original battery and the symptoms remain the same.
Am on marshmallow 6.0.1 totally stock am also out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot in bootloader mode if it boots connect to it comp and then unlock the bootloader if not and install latest Twrp if not then flash a custom rom and boot it then flash factory images .. Done. Back to Stock!
Try booting in bootloader mod while connecting it do the charger. (Wall charger )

Thanks for the suggestion but can't get into bootloader mode, it's only alive for about 3-4 seconds if plugged in then it goes off and then back to the white battery.

Mother board problem or change try changing ur battery... Surely Mother Board problem! Coz while u were connected to a hotspot and then u switched off it.. The battery would suddenly undervolt ur motherboard... And Undervolting id Very Very bad even if u change it from software or hardware...This had happen to my Sis nexus 5. .. So given it a chance changing the battery! Coz that helped Me.. But also try booting in bootloader mod and flashing twrp it will save couple of Bucks and Time
Press the thanks button if this helps
I would replace the battery first. It seems like the battery was completely drained while hotspotting.
Are you using the original USB cable and charger that came with the phone?

Yes using the original charger, still does the same on power bank and old Samsung charger.
I'll give a battery swap another go.

If battery swap doesn't help is the motherboard easy to swap out? Providing I can find a replacement?
Motherboard is very easy to swap out.
Update, put original battery back in for the second time, first time didn't make a difference, possibly took longer this time. But all is good now.
Thanks to all

check it out i flashed a rom right and it didnt want to boot into recovery so i took the battery out and it never turned on again????
Plug it in let it charge a bit. If the orange light blinks four times and turns off, then you need to do a battery swap.
If it charges then let it charge boot unto recovery and restore your backup. I hope you made a backup.
Which Rom were you flashing?

Mate, you're really not helping yourself here. Can you please give a step-by-step of what you were trying to do and a bit more information as to what happened when it didn't go to plan?
e.g. I was trying to flash a new ROM. The ROM update completed successfully but upon rebooting it wouldn't turn on.
The above example gives a bit more insight as to the situation

Pop the battery out for about 10 minutes then put it back in and try charging the battery. Also try charging from a different power source like an AC adapter or via your computers USB port. If the battery light doesn't come on then your battery is most likely dead and you may need to find a replacement.

you said you didnt get any signal. dude you prolly didnt flashed the correct radios. some roms tells you witch radio you need before flashing the rom. not all the roms have the correct radios due of a lot of sensation worldwide. had you tried to go into fastboot at all by holding power and vol down at the same time.

Yes battery swap as I mentioned.
On a side note
Can anyone tell me why that is the only solution to the problem when the phone dies down like this
Thisy wife let's her phone die alllll the time and I constantly have to swap mine and her battery.
Welcome. I have a problem with the HTC Sensation. Unplugged it and I can not turn on. Do not respond to anything. On the charger and computer. Removing the battery also does not help.
I s-off and ARHD 6.6.3.
RUU did not detect.
I use google translator
look up adb reboot sometimes it happens, just start it through adb
ADB does not detect it. I suspect that this motherboard.

Hi,
Try taking out the battery,sd card,and sim card.
Leave for 20 minutes,then put back the battery only,and try again.
No power on after installing aokp b32
hi,
i have a similar problem! i'm using previously VirtuouseRom since Jan 2012 without problems. Now i have tired aokp b32 rom to install. After reboot, the phone was starting perfect and boot to aokp. In the next step i make a manual restart. The phone was shut down normaly, but no power on and no restart it.
Since this i can't power on my phone. The battery is full, but i try also a another battery. No reaction with power adapter and usb.
i hope u can help me....
nice greetings

Code:

I had the same issue once. Luckily, I have a stand alone battery charger. I put the battery on the charger for 15 minutes, put it back in the phone and all was good...
I think there are separate problems here...if the phone is detected by computer when plugged in...then it's still salvageable since you can probably run adb?
However, mine was unresponsive completely....nothing worked. Sent back for repair...going to see what HTC says about the warranty!
This once happened to a friend of mine. Charge your phone for 20 minutes. If you're using a Sense ROM, disable fast boot in Settings>Power. Fastboot doesn't actually power off your device, just puts it into sleep, like in Windows. This means the battery drains, even while it's "off".
I am stuck here with a sensation using hboot 1.27.0000 and wasted the last few days looking for a solution s-off and unlock bootlaoder so i can get some "normal" ROM onto it. Currently the stock rom is on it which keeps crashing every few hours, i was hoping that a custom rom might help me, there is no warranty left anyway.
any help is appreciated

You have two options to choose from.
1.) Unlock bootloader through htcdev website. It doesn't give you full access your phone although you can still flash custom roms. See HERE for more information
2.) Gain full S-OFF and enjoy the freedom. See HERE how to do it.

You must be rooted to go for s-off.But u may find wire trick method difficult so u can still flash a custom rom with s-on and boot loader unlock .Follow this guide its easy and simple .

Just follow the s-off guide by Ganeshp I linked step by step as it is written there and you will be fine. The tool will temporary root your phone then will remove it when finished. When all is done, you can use the one-click-root-tool from the same guide to permanently root your device. Good luck!
I think i just bricked my deveice trying the wire trick. Does not power up anymore, no charging light and not able to get into bootlaoder or anything

I have charged the phone overnight, nothing, i removed sim and memory card and charged another 6 hours again nothing.
It doesn ot even indicate that it charges, no led no light no beep... nothing
Any ideas what to try

Dont know it works but try it... !!
How to make a "jump start" the HTC phone.
1. Take out the phone cover.
2. Take out the battery, optionally Sim Card and Flash Card.
3. Plug your wall charger from the wall into the phone WITHOUT the battery in and cover.
4. Pop the battery back in and wait until the indicator light is orange.
5. Wait for about 5-10 minutes until your battery charged at least 2-3%
6. Pop the battery back in and close the cover. Optionally Sim Card and Flash Card.
7. Try to turn it on. This should start the phone.
8. So, once you started your phone. Plug your wall charger back into the phone.
9. Wait for until your battery became fully charged.
Nope, not working for me looks like i have really bricked the damn thing

You missed the main point.. You need to remove battery too.. The charge is to internals of the phone (like CMOS battery)

wire trick is very easy i did it in just 5-6 tries thx to ganeshp he helped me alot:good: having a s on phone can cause many problems in the feature on the other hand s off has its own Advantages.
After my phone bricked I installed latest Chinese Stable ROM in EDL mode. I chose EDL mode for two reasons (1. I suspected that the phone only works while plugged in to charge and 2. the EDL mode turns off the phone after flashing so I can plug in the charger before booting). Turns out I was right. After the flash was over I tried to boot it without charging it first and it didn't work. After I connected it to the charger it booted normally and the ROM installed successfully.
I tried it again this morning after it fully charged. Few seconds after Ii disconnected it, it turned off. When I tried to turn it back on it was just rebooting to the MI logo screen. I plugged it in the charger and it rebooted 2 times (both times it got to those three dots at the bottom of the screen) and the third time it booted normally.
I also just noticed that the phone is curved a bit (maybe less than 1mm difference between upper left edge and rest of them), maybe from wearing it in tight pockets or something like that.
I think your battery might be dead. Try checking the voltage or the quality.
Replaceable batteries are pretty cheap.
Trimis de pe al meu Mi-4c folosind Tapatalk
Might be faulty battery, might be bad kernel, might be anything. Best way to check is to try to flash latest dev china rom via fastboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing stable 5.1.1 rom, again, via fastboot. If none of the solutions above doesnt work might be bad battery or worse, the controller on mobo died.

Well I hope it's a battery, because I just bought one to replace it. What is that mobo controller? Is it replaceable?
I have the same issue,
Battery replacement and stock rom of android 7 didn't help
I'm afraid is another hardware issue /:
I do have a similar problem, flashed xiaomi.eu and something have been broken.
I dont know how and why but its very strange.
Unplugged from supply i can boot up the phone, can see the miui logo and boot into fastboot but NOT into recovery and not boot up os.
As soon as i plug in supply it works quit normally, can boot up everything seems to be working, booting into twrp and flashing rom. No problem at all.
If i unplug while running os it imediately shut down.
The battery bar inside twrp show strange jumps.
What happens did somehting break ? Id like to gift the phone my mother for christmas.

"your device is botting now..."
I tried the dload method.

but nothing done ...
the pc does not recognize anything.
I also tried the low audio button method and plug the usb cable into the pc ... nothing.
I do not know what to do.

Hi !
Did you try to install recovery with mutli tool ? If yes, wich TWRP version did you try to install ?
For me the only one correct recovery version was the twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img !
My phone stay stuck with every others versions !
This page saved me --> https://www.******.com/root-huawei-gr5-2017-emui-5-0-install-twrp/
but I had to go back to stock rom first with the dload method by pasting the dlload update.app files on my SD card directly from the pc and putting my card back into the phone.

what is that solution??and test point??...got the same problem...phone stuck at your device is booting and nothing works...no recovery...no fastboot....phone discharged....
I've got anorher solution:
Wait until battery is down, then charge it only enough it boot( then you get the battery empty faste if you have to do it twice) now do a normal boot. Dont try any combinations or keys! Now you should boot into emui. If it worked download the official rollback package, put it on your sdcard into /dload folder. Fully charge your phone (or at least 30% otherwise it wont install because it says battery level is to low... )shutdown your phone. Now hold power button, volume up and volume down your phone will boot to the your phone got unlocked screen then it will reboot, keep the buttons pressed for a second then release, now it should flash the rollback package and reboot, after that you can flash emui 4. After that you can perform the emui 5 update. Now it should be safe to reboot to fastboot and relock the bootloader again if the system hasent done it automaticaly.
Now you should be able to reunlock bootloader!

How do you Know its not charging? Does it shows the charching screen? Cause i had this problem too, and at least in my case this problem caused enough battery consumption to empty the Battery in a night. So mabye something is wrong with the sensor? Or does it even shows the charching screen, because sometimes it has to boot some things (wich means it gets stuck at your device is booting) before it can show you the charching screen...

It shows charging screen when i plug but led is flashing all time... And it boots a few moment later directly on your device is booting screen as if u enter stock or twrp recovery but stays stuck at this screen and led still flashing so no charging
But does the phone turns black and acts like battery is completly down? Means black screen dosent react to anything No Led? Because mavye you tust got an error with the led or something like this, because this freeze is consuming really much energy if you already have this problem since two days whitout charging and it freezes on this screen battery would be completely empty! If it shows device is booting ALL the time it has to charge. If it turns black after showing the screen then its mabye really not charging...
