hey guys i jst installed the stock nougat firmware and after that i jst removed the unlocked bootloader and changed it to a google symbol and after that when i started the phone i had an update so while phone was updating the software is it all went blank and since then i tried to solve this problem
i tried this things:
1: 6 hours on charging(the only thing is happening is that led light is blinking (but fun fact when i remove the charger the light keeps blinking))
2: i cant get to bootloader the phone led just keeps blinking
3: when i connect the phone to pc and just keep pressing the power button the pc makes sound of connecting and disconnecting a device so i cant figure out whether it is on or bootloader or enything else
4: after 6 hours of charging if i kept the power button holding nothing happens(also tried the down volume button and power button for almost 10 mins each)

I got an HTC One S from a friend who got it from another friend. I don't have any history on the device. He gave it to me to fix because I'm the only Android user he knows and his phone won't start.
If I keep the power button pressed, the capacitive buttons flash exactly 15 times and occasionally the phone vibrates. I don't have a One S so not sure if that indicates that phone was started or shutdown.
Neither fastboot devices not adb devices shows the device. But every once in a while when it vibrates, if the phone is connected to the PC with a USB cable, it beeps - like it's connected. I don't see Android Phone in Device Manager. But I see a MTP USB Device with a yellow exclamation mark. Uninstalling and reinstalling HTC Drivers didn't fix the problem.
I have tried Power+Volume Down key. Shining a torch on it (seemed to work for a few people), keeping it plugged into the mains for 3 days, kept it in the freezer for 2-3 minutes (also seemed to work for one person).
I think when I first got the phone and plugged it into the mains, I saw a red charging light. But I may be mistaken. In any case, there is no light anymore indicating charging. But I don't think that's the problem.
I have no idea whether the device is bricked or not. And if there is any way to fix it. Samsung has Odin which makes any Samsung phone practically unbrickable. I haven't used any HTCs since the G1 so have not been in touch too much with the HTC development. But from reading, it seems that messing around with Romming with S-ON can cause the phone to be bricked. And perhaps that's what my friend or his friend did. Does this sound like that's what could have happened?
Thanks for any pointers.
I dont think the device is bricked. its just a little harder to press the power and volume down when you see the buttons flashing.
just check and do these steps.
connect the mobile to charger and see if the orange light comes and stays on
if the orange light is there, press the power button and keep your finger ready near the volume down button
you should keep the power button pressed and as soon as the orange light disappears you should press the volume down button until you end up in boot loader screen
give this a few tries and see if the device boots up in bootloader

The problem is that I no longer see any light at all when I connect the phone to a charger. It's probably fully charged. Would that show a green light? If so, that's not visible either. I have a feeling that the bootloader has got wiped out or something.
I read in one post that the phone may be stuck in the QHUSB-DLOAD mode.
So I followed the steps in http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm. But that didn't help. I don't remember the exact statement since I was running an Ubuntu Live CD. But the gist was that it couldn't connect to the phone so presumably it's not stuck in QHUSB-DLOAD mode. Although the site states that it will NOT fix QHSUSB_DLOAD issues encountered by flashing ROMs - which may well be what may have happened.
I understand that running an RUU for the HTC One S may set it back to factory state. But for that I need fastboot to work.
Suspected problem: Bootloop
It all started when I connect my phone (Garmin-Asus A10 (v5.0.82 (updated with GarminAsusPhoneUpdater_Telenor_v2.0.3.exe of denmark))) on laptop through USB cable, the USB slot looks slightly damaged already upon looking at it, after connecting the expected to be happen is that the back-light will turn on, but what happen is that the phone has no response from it, I try to press the power button still no response, I removed the battery and bring it back and try to turn on again the logo appears (without vibrate which is supposed to be present in turning on my phone) then disappear after 7-10 secs.
It's already stock on the logo as I turn it on, the moment I pressed the power button the logo appears for about 7-10 secs then it disappear, also when I removed the battery and put it back the logo appears without pressing anything and disappear again after 7-10 secs.
I try to wipe the data through Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button the ** WIPE USERDATA ** appears but then after a few secs it disappear again which is supposed to last for about a minutes.
And also I still can go to the **USB POLLING MODE ** through Volume Up + Power Button but seems like there is nothing to do with that thing.
I know it will be easy to fix this with the use of Garmin-Asus phone updater but it requires the phone storage which is so impossible to access at this point.
Hope you guys can help me with this, I badly need that phone.

Updates:
I can already open the phone and go to the home screen and menus... etc., but only when I close/cover the 1st metal/copper of the battery (back view (- to +))., but then I get an error saying that "The installed battery is not compatible with this device"
Upon doing this the phone is keep on rebooting, even if I already turn it off it keeps on turning on by itself, also I can't use any network at this point.
I already formatted the phone using master clear & **WIPE USERDATE** (Volume up + power button) still got the same problem.
And also updated with 006-B1243-00.update (The last .update file I used to update my phone (V5.0.82 DN)), upon rebooting after verifying the .update file it just blink twice then the update stops already at that point.
Updates 2:
Physically there is nothing wrong with the phone, I can still use the phone but as I mention already "only when I close/cover the 1st metal/copper of the battery (back view (- to +))." everything works fine except for the error "The installed battery is not compatible with this device" the red with "X" battery (Screenshot-1434948958913)
Also I notice something from my storage the "System Volume Information" (Screenshot-1434949331146, Screenshot-1434949336619, & Screenshot-1434949345666), I'm pretty sure that I haven't seen yet that before, I deleted the folder still it comes back.
Also once I connected my garmin phone to my computer the USB connected thing (Screenshot-1434949876071) don't disappear just until I restarted the phone.
Thanks in Advance.
Put my sim free s6 on charge last night (wireless) as i always do and when i woke up the green led was flashing quite fast.
I went to wake the phone up using home button and nothing, nothing from powerbutton either. Tried holding down powerbutton and have also tried charging manually but still nothing. What was strange also was that i did not get any charging sound when i inserted the cable to try an charge it.
I am pretty sure its charged though...just will not turn on.
Any ideas?
No completely stock phone, very few apps on it, just over a week old.
Updated to 5.1.1 via ota a couple of days ago.
Just done a bit of a search on the Internet and says to hold all the buttons down which I've done and has now restarted and seems fine.
Does not explain what's happened though
problem solved?
Well it's working fine now but does not explain why it just died for no reason and would not do anything without rebooting with that method.
Phone was 100% charged when started up also....very strange
Got same thing happen to my S6 after updating it to 5.1.1 . Phone have random freeze problem , left it on desk then someone called and a didnt get it up so notification light blinked i wanted to check who was calling but after pressing power to wake it up it wasnt working same with home button. So i had to keep pressed Vol- and power to reset phone . I wonder is it a 5.1.1 bug ?
Hi my phone is a Samsung Galaxy s6 and I've had it about a month the it just stopped working it had no life although when I go to charge it it starts charging but if i try to turn it on it just flashes a green light on the bottom of the phone what is this please
You don't need to hold all buttons down. Hold VOLUME DOWN+POWER for a few seconds and it will do a forced reboot.
I have the same problem with my s6 edge. Tried everything, and nothing is working. Any other suggestions on how to turn on my phone?
Hi! Did you get any responses? I'm having the same problem and don't know what to do
Thanks, this helped me out. 3 buttons at the same time. I did it long, maybe needlessly.
i had my Note 8 phone working absolutely fine sitting at my desk. I picked it up and saw ~50% batt. Got into a subway after 10 minutes and tried to check the time - the phone was completely dead. Tried everything under the sun - read 2 posts before this one and then found out the solution was to hold all the 3 buttons (important to note - the down volume + bixbee + start buttons) all at the same time for almost a minute to get it started.
All this time a green led light was flashing on top right of the phone.

Hi there i have this Xperia Z5 Sov32 from January 2019 it was working fine until few days ago the battrey got low at 0% and i plugged it into wall charger after few minutes it have gone upto 17% i pressed the power button to turn the phone on but it gave me a gray screen, before i pressed the power button the charging green bars can be seen, but after i pressed the power button the screen goes grey and no xperia logo screen, then i tried to reset it, by pressing power button + volume up but no use, then tried power + volume down but not working no recovery mode, then i tried power + volume up and volume down, but nothing then i tried the little yellow button near the sim card slot for few seconds, it gave me 3 vibrates but nothing happens after it same gray screen when i try to turn the phone on. then i tried yellow button for 120 seconds, but same gray screen and consistent restarts automatically after few seconds of gray screen, then i tried xperia companion but it is giving me error that my phone is locked, well i cannot unlock the phone if it is not turning on. then i tried sony's orignal flashing tool Emma but that gave me same error phone is locked. then i tried to unlock bootloader with flash tool but no use gave some error which i cannot remember now. then i tried to flash the phone with like 8 different ftf stock files some old some new. but flash tools tells me it have flashed the phone but when i try to turn it on it is giving me same gray screen and restarts every 20 / 30 seconds. and i even tried the Sov32 ftf file downloaded from xperifirm but that gave me error that this bundle is not suitable for your device. all other generic and international versions gave no error and shows successfully flashed. but phone gave same gray screen when i turn it on. and after flashing i tried sony companion and Emma both shows my phone is still locked and not flashed, showing me same old firmware version LOL i dont know what else to do anymore since i have tried every possible trick to fix this damn device. this phone have changed my view of thinking, i have always thought sony is better then all others because i only used sony and motorola all my life. and from past 7 years i have using sony. but if i have to change my phone then i will never buy sony phone again. lost my 3 days on it, trying to fix it. previously i have xperia z and xperia mini pro they were better phones. i still have them. and they are still working. i even flashed xperia mini pro many times no issue. so what should i do now is there any other method left which i have not tried yet ? and btw please dont refer me to use carbon rom or any other rom because this goddam phone is not turning on and not charging. it restarts every few seconds while on charging. so i cannot copy some files into the phone.
Hello! I could not find a section for my phone, so I am posting here.
My Zenfone 5 Selfie/Lite (ZC600KL) randomly "bricked". After being left alone charging for 20 minutes, when I came back it was turned off. Holding the power button resulted in the phone showing the "Powered by Android" logo, then the ASUS logo, and stop there.
I don't think it's a battery issue as it always lasted a long period of time; this is the first time anything like that happens, and might be the last. I also never tried meddling with my phone (rooting or the likes of it), so I'm pretty much clueless. I messed around with the phone, turning it on and off for a while, letting it run out of battery and charge it again, leaving it stuck on ASUS logo over night, to no avail.
Here are some things that I noticed that might help solve this problem:
1. After I connect the charger, the screen shows an empty charging battery along with the LED showing the red color (which means no battery). After 5 seconds, the screen turns on again by itself to show the true state of the battery, which is whatever % it is right now and the correct LED light (orange/green).
2. Turning on the phone makes the "low battery" buzz followed by a normal vibration. If it's charging, the "No battery" red LED shows.
3. I can turn on the fastboot mode by pressing Volume + and Power, but it only shows "CSC Fastboot mode!!! Long press power key to shutdown device". While on fastboot, my computer recognizes the phone is connected through USB, but I cannot access the phone's storage.
4. Pressing Volume - and Power does nothing besides restarting the phone.
My english isn't the best, so I apologize. If there's anything that I messed up and you can't understand, please do tell me.
P.S: Zenfone 5 Selfie is the same phone as Zenfone 5 Lite, but it is known by both names for some reason. Thanks for reading.

Exactly the same problem and phone I have here and Google research has been useless plus it appears this model phone has many firmware versions also
I have tried flashing firmware in fastboot mode but the ADB and fastboot tools won't work as it shows write protected as it appears bootloader is locked and am struggling with QPST also got so desperate to get phone working I even checked out some of those android repair software like DR fone then realised they want $70 USD and instantly removed the software haha
Hope we can get answers but seems like that maybe no one has solutions for this
