Hello guys,
Yesterday my phone was working fine, I put it on my desk and went to sleep.
The next day the screen was black and I couldn't turn it on. The only thing I saw was the white/blue LED pulsating (like if its booting).
I tried to turn it on / off but it didn't work. I even tried to force a shutdown with power+voldown+home and power+voldown but nothing worked.
A few hours later the pulsating stopped. I thought that it was fixed now and connected it to a charger. No response. No LED, No Sound, No Vibration.
I cant boot into Download or Recovery mode.
Can I fix this and if yes how?
I cleanly flashed an unofficial build of Lineage 16.0 (Pie) on my phone with TWRP and used the latest Magisk + Viper4Android, if it helps.
I hope I can find answers and fix my phone asap.

EDIT: I should add that the night I slept it was on a charger. At the time I woke up I removed the charger. So I think it stopped pulsating because the battery was empty.

Hi all I have encountered a strange problem this morning i Tried to boot to recovery from cm11 to restore my stock backup but the phone just turned off I tried to turn it back on but only a blinking red led would show so i Plugged it in to charge and off line charging said 96% of charge so i Just flashed stock ftf and still the same problem blinking red led so I held down power button and the phone booted so . Turned it off again and only met with blinking red led so i Plugged in charger let off line Charge screen popula. Then held power button and it booted again . Have no idea why it will only boot from off line charging . Can't boot to recovery or anything tried plugging in the charger so kernel boots then take out charger press volume- button when i See pink led but it just stays stuck at phantom bootsplash. Any ideas what's Wrong people seems to me when I normal boot the phone thinks the battery is dead i Have tried another battery but still the same any ideas.
Edit [Solved] fully charged phone then deleted batterystats.bin now everything seems ok.
Sorry if I explain this horribly, will try and be as descriptive as i can.
Was using CM 10.2. Had a problem, which I was on the way to fixing. I was having an internal storage fault which was fixed by using stock recovery, could then flash TWRP back and everything worked fine. Then one day it all decided to die. Phone would just get past the HTC logo screen and would then die before booting Android. I could however get into bootloader/fastboot/recovery ok. However could not mount internal storage-windows wasn't picking it up when plugged in, so flashed stock recovery again and this seemed to make it mountable again. So was able to put CM 10.2 back, so re-flashed CM with no joy, wiped caches and data etc, still nothing. Didn't want to boot Android. Boot.img was flashed and everything. Went back into bootloader, however upon unplugging the USB cable, the phone turned off.
Tried turning the phone back on and it just showed the HTC logo screen for a slit second and died.. then showed it again for a split second. Does the same for the recovery screen if you hold down Vol Down and power - shows it for a split second and then dies.
But if you plug the charger in (orange light comes on) and turn it on, the orange light goes off.. stays off for a moment..and then comes back on, phone does not turn on. BUT if you press the power button and the orange light turns off and then you quickly hold the Vol Down and power button at the same time (before the orange light comes back on) it will bring up the bootloader.. and it stays on. I can try booting and it shows the HTC logo screen as normal but then turns off again before booting android (same problem i was having before the charger issue). I can go into TWRP recovery no problem, i did factory reset for good measure while there but the moment you remove the charger, it turns off. Its like the battery is totally dead but TWRP shows it as 90+ %
If you leave it to charge completely and the orange light turns green. It WILL bring up the HTC logo screen as normal (not for a split second) but eventually turns off again and doesn't boot android. Green light then turns orange again and it only shows the screens for a split second.
I've flashed this phone with a couple of ROMS before and have had my share of issues but nothing like this, i'm stumped. I think Android not booting up and the charger issue could be unrelated but I could be wrong, never faced this kind of problem. Been looking around, cant find an issue like this, i fear it could be a hardware issue as supposed to a battery calibration issue.
I would like to drain the battery completely and give it a full charge just to see what happens but i cannot keep the phone on without it charging, so cannot drain the battery...
Any help/advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.

I tried to understand as much as i can and it seems like a corrupted BL/recovery .Have u tried flashing your stock rom?If there is still a problem , then it may be a hardware issue . Try contacting HTC service centre if it's a hardware issue.
If it's not a hardware issue then try flashing some other room and recovery.
Hello,
I flashed the latest LRX22C image on my nexus 5 today.Had flashed it clean,wiping data,cache and system etc except the Internal Storage.Then I flashed the SUPERSU 2.37 ZIP .Everything was fine for about 4 hours.Then suddenly when I pressed the power button to turn the screen off,it was not turning off and the "Switch off" mode was popping up instead .Then, when I got a call,it switched off.The phone won't turn on again.It starts,the Google Boot Splash appears and the bootanimation starts for like 2 seconds and it switches off.Same thing for bootloader mode.
Please Help me!
EDIT: Now its turning on by itself and switches off in 2 seconds!
Sounds like a bad power switch to me, but of course that is just my opinion. :good:
sounds like a mech issue.

I have the same problem on mine now... Basically my phone powered down around 45%. Battery. At the time i thought it was dead... But it wasnt. When i would plug into external power, either usb or through wireless charging it would power cycle continuously at the android splash screen.... (1 to 2 second intervals - even if i booted into fastboot) Interestingly it would never go to the battery charging mode. But automatically boot on charge... It did this for about 6 hours then i gave up and left it unplugged for a day. I plugged it back in and it started power cycling again, however this time on its third boot it came back to life . thats when i discovered i still had 40% battery... I dont know what exactly made it boot but it did. Oddly also on boot, it started optimising apps and finishing install again. I checked the md5 before I installed the update so no issue there. Since it powered up i have powered the phone off using the power button long push and let the phone power down. After doing this when i plug the phone in to usb charge it goes to the charge screen. No issue. That said, if i try to power up while tethered and charging it will not allow it. It just stays at the charge screen. As soon as i unplug the usb the power button allows the phone to power up and work... When booted up it charges as normal when plugged in. Im convinced there is an issue with the power management drivers or drivers for the button controls. My phone worked fine until the 5.0.1 update was installed. On my nexus 5. Anyone else or just us two? Ive had a hard time finding people posting on this issue.
Hey guys im new here and i need your help! I tried installing CM into my moto g, but it didnt go so well so i flashed stock rom and it worked fine. I tried to update the stock (4.4) to Lollipop and it was showing a progress bar it was going well. I leave my phone there and went to go do something and when i came back to check the the progress, the screen was off. I tried to power it on several times and even tired holding down the volume button but it wont power up. The charger wasn't plugged when it was updating but the battery percentage was over 70%.. I left it there to charge for hours and still wont work. But when i plug it in my laptop it makes a sound that the phone is connected but the screen is still off. When its plugged in my laptop my notification blinks once and thats it doesnt do any thing else. Can someone help me fix this?
Hi,
Yesterday, I updated my Pixel 3 to the latest version of Android 10.
Today, my Pixel 3 was on like 3% battery, so I turned down the brightness. All of a sudden, the phone just turned off - black screen, and started rebooting constantly until the battery was completely dead. At home, I plugged it into the charger, waited a bit (phone kept rebooting) and after a while, I tried to boot / soft reset it multiple times. When I got to recovery mode and pressed one of the volume buttons to choose factory reset - boom, phone reboots. So, I tried Fastboot to at least get it recognized by my PC. It stays in Fastboot for a few seconds, then reboots.
Can anyone help me out? I need this fixed ASAP, I'm a delivery guy and need my phone to do my job
I had that once. Had to let the phone completely die, then keep it on charger for a few hours.
I got that problem yesterday too. Then I tried to stop the loop by holding Power button and up or down buttons. After that I entered Safe mode(not sure which of the two combinations worked), restart after and everything was fine.
