I bought this phone and used it for about 2 months and then out of no where it started turning itself on and off, with a final screen flash saying the phone has been flashed. I removed the battery after screen went blank and phone will not even attempt to turn on. Any opinions on my next move?

Hello,
Runnin an unlocked bootloader, rooted, running Melvin's ADT rom so its just stock and rooted, nothing special on ATT. I installed the no CID flash last week and it worked fine. I have rebooted several times and there was no issue for the past week. Today i had my phone on my desk and i went to unlock it so that I could check the time and the screen wouldnt turn on. I waited about 5 mins and it still wouldnt turn on. I pulled the battery and put it back and tried to turn it on and it vibrated but the screen never turned on. I pulled the SIM, the SD card, and the battery and still no luck. I put the battery in and it wont light up at all. The buttons on the bottom, nor the screen will light up. Cannot get into the the boatloader either. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
i have not experienced this nor heard about it until today. i saw another thread with 2 other people with the same issue.. maybe some defective devices floating around out there? take it too at&t for an exchange.... here is the other thread

well it ended up being an easy fix. The phone just wasnt showing the currect battery percentage. It said the phone was at full charge but it was empty so the battery died. I went to plug the phone into the computer and see if can go into download mode to flash via odin but then it turned on. It recharged and it worked of course.
My HTC was working fine yesterday until it froze at one point and it wouldn't respond to any buttons including the lock button (which has never happened before except occasionally during incoming calls). I did a battery pull and at first it would only vibrate and remain a black screen, though I could see that it did light dimly when I pressed the power button. After about 20 battery pull attempts it went back to showing the splash and screen and the phone turned on succesfully. After about 10 minutes it froze again, I did a battery pull and now it only showed the splash screen and froze, occasionally showing a red light in the top left corner. My phone was already on low battery so this process went on for another 25 minutes or so (vibrate + screen, freezing on splash screen, or booting then freezing) until I gave up. I came home and charged it overnight while it was off, and it was fully charged this morning, but now it won't turn on at all, it only vibrates once with the screen lighting very dim for a moment then just has a black screen.
I've been searching for a solution for the last 3 hours, seems it could be a range of things but nothing I've tried has worked. I'd appreciate the help, I already spent £90 on getting the screen repaired a couple weeks ago, I don't really want to spend more especially if for some reason HTC decide it can't be repaired under warranty.
Are you s-off and running a custom Rom? It so can you provide details on Rom, kernel and firmware?
There were threads a few weeks back about sensations randomly dying.
Thanks
s-off?
No I'm not running custom ROM.
Came acrosss a few other threads with similar threads but my problem seems to be a combination of everyone else's problems, so I'm a bit lost
are you under warentee? Your stock so there should be no reason at all for HTC to deny your warentee. I'm curious, have you tried to put a different battery in? To see if possibly your battery has gone bad? Worth a try? Even though it says full charge maybe its gone bad? Wouldn't hurt to try. If not and new battery won't work I'd definitely look into warentee repair. You have not altered your device so they definitely should honnor repair.

The title says my problem. I am rooted, unlocked boot loader, rooted, and running AOKP Build 4 Jellybean. The phone was on at one point, and after the screen dimmed it wouldn't turn on. I did a battery pull and turned the phone back on and nothing happens. It vibrates, and the screen stays black. I have tried to boot it in download mode and recovery as well, but nothing has happened.
I desperately need this phone for tomorrow as i will be away from my house and I should be getting a call from a future employer thanks in advance everyone.
I think i can help you .. let me know if this work for you First pull out the battery and put it back in and second put the charger in and see if the charging battery icon comes up.
I just got the moto g
I had updated to marshmallow just after opening the box.
It's the second day of the device and the display just turned black all of a sudden. On screen buttons gone too.
I pressed the power button and the screen turned off. When i turned the screen on again after 5 secs the screen turned black again.
I turned the screen off and on again.
This time the screen kept blinking. It didn't turn off just the contents of the screen kept blinking.
After I rebooted the phone, the issue disappeared.
I'm not sure if it is a software bug that happened or early signs of some hardware issue. I still have the 30 days for replacement.
Rest of the device is working fine.
Has anyone found the same issue?
I am using stock software, no root.
Yes brand new stock moto g updated to m and had the exact same issue, it's happened once a day so far to me (I'm on day three of owning the phone) A reboot fixes it but it's annoy I don't want to have to reboot the device all the time. I can see it being annoying trying to get the device swapped because when I wipe the device to give it back to the shop it will be working fine :-\
It just seems to happen randomly, nothing to do with a certain app I don't think, I can't replicte it when I try to figure out the cause of it.
I've broken the screen on my nexus 5 the second time around now.. the first replacement went smooth but i lost my front camera.. second time around i broke it but it keept working until 2 weeks ago when it went green and stoped responding. I orderd a new one from aliexpress just instaled it today and it booted in to [LG rome flashing] i tought it was weird but i skiped it then in went from "battery charging" to the normal nexus boot screen and it stayed in a loop while turning on and off. So i tough it was weird so i tried to enter the boot loader witch i did and it worked flawsesley no turning on and off any more. now the worst part after tking it apart again it never recoverd... tell me how f'ed am I.
Turning and off could be an indication of a faulty power button.
The phone doesn't power up at all anymore? Possible loose connection?
