HELP, My phone refuses to boot up.

It started as soon as I received a phone call from my brother and we were in the middle of a conversation when the phone suddenly goes off. I tried to restart it, I even removed the battery and replaced it but when I press the power button I get the initial boot sequence showing the htc logo and then the phone would just go of. I thought that maybe the battery is low but when I plug it to a power outlet it keeps trying to boot but keeps switching off and it just does this over and over.
Please I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before, I really don't know what to do.

Try a Hard Reset using the device buttons:
1. With the phone off. If it’s frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.
Hope this helps!

Well I just did that but the problem persist. I should note that occasionally it does complete its boot up and I can use the phone but it can go off at any time and once it does this, i cannot get it to completely boot up. Once it attempts a boot up and goes off I cannot even restart it by pressing the power button until I replace the battery or plug it into a power socket or the computer at which point it will just keep booting up and shutting down.

Something far wrong there. Get a replacement device.

Hi, I have got the same problem on my HD7 and I am completely noob to many new words Goldcard, jailbroken, etc. Would you please advise me exactly what you did (i mean flahing procedure) and really appriciate any help.

Well if you have got an O2 HD7, then I would advise you to get one of the O2 ROMS from ansar, download it then press and hold the volume down button when booting up your device, connect the phone to your pc and start the app. More instructions in the HD7 development thread.

There's nothing wrong the phone. Don't hard reset or flash it. It happens from time to time, just give it some time and eventually you will see a battery icon appear. Then after awhile it will boot up.
Again, do not flash or hard reset just be patient. I believe it just needs to drain all the way down as it doesn't have enough power to fully boot.

Not booting up
Hi,

Thank u and Best Regards

[Q] Power button broken, another way to boot the phone?

As the title reads I am quite sure that the power button is broke in some way or another on my HTC Desire C. I believe this since the phone is off and I cannot start it up with the power button. The reason I think that it is the power button that is broken and not something else is that when I plug it into the charger the battery shows up on the screen as always and says its charging.
Now, I wont be able to have it in for service in a couple of months and I really need the phone right now.
I could probably live with a broken power button if I just got it to boot up, which is the big problem here! I have googled for answers and found some saying for example that to charge it while popping out/in the battery in different ways will make it automatically boot up but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way to power it up without using the power button?
(Probably a good thing to say that I am not using any kind of custom rom or whatever, everything is stock)
Would be really awesome if someone could help!

Phone in USB Host Mode, Refuses To Charge [Fix]

This just happened to me, and after some searching here and elsewhere I found that it seems to be an unsettlingly common issue. What was worse is the only solutions anyone had was RMA/replacement. Well, I called HTC customer service and the woman I spoke to was very helpful
She told me that the charging mode may need to be reset and gave the following instructions.
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging (mine DID show the new charging animation)
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
My phone is now charging normally.

Thx for share

Is it supposed to be showing that HTC startup screen and like cycling through the beginning of an attempted reboot while I'm holding in the 3 buttons, or have I done it wrong every time?

Some notification will appear on the screen?
I hold the 3 buttons, and htc one is restarting continuously. 2 minutes and 30 seconds
And it did not work, still only charging power off.

Didn't work for me either.
I have to reboot to be able to charge with wall charger like it was before...
Thanks anyway:good:
I would put money down that the cause of this is those crappy usb ports my HD2 had exactly the same problem few years back and people realized it was the charging port getting rusted and shorting something in there causing the phone to act funny.
Time will tell...

Hello mates, I have a question about my HTC One.
yesterday my home screen start to rotate like im on a website or something. i know this is not normal because i have for 6 months now and know that home screen canr rotate. It doesnt matter really if the rotate function is turned off or on.
And then it stops and everything is ok..and later on again.
I tried to reset my phone to factory and same thing after 20 min, but i noticed that happens after CAR app jumps out by itself without opening it.
And when i make a call i got speaker on automatically, like he thinks hes in a car mode. and i cant remove this app cause its custom built.
Also cant charge phone when in usb host mode appears often, then i reboot him and he charges.
I really dont know what can i do..anyone know something please help.
Thx in advance

Charging fix.
I was having the same problem with charging my HTC One. I contacted HTC and they told me to do the following which worked:
Step 1: Power off the device
Step 2: Press the Power button to initiate booting sequence and wait for the HTC logo to appear on the screen
Step 3: Press and hold the Volume Down button until entering OS
Step 4: You will notice that the device vibrates briefly during this process
Step 5: ‘Safe Mode’ wording will appear on the bottom left of the screen to confirm that device has entered safe mode.
After this safe mode start I restarted normally and no longer have issues charging the phone.
Cheers.

This one didn't work either (for me )...
I got it into Safe Mode and in SF didn't charge and after reboot not only lost settings and stuff but still got the USB Host mode error.
I guess I'll be returning to stock soon and try to send it for repair before warranty expires.
Thanks anyway...

I have the same exact issue - phone will not charge and I get error about usb host mode... So far this "somewhat" worked for me - I am able to charge phone anytime via wall charger > but unable to connect to USB / charge via USB.
1. Start charging via phone wall charger. ( it will not charge at this time )
2. Reboot Phone (press power and hold > reboot)
3. After reboot your phone should be charging just fine, but ONLY via wall charger.
If you try to charge via USB it will not work. If you try to charge it via wall charger after USB charge attempt - it will also not work anymore, you will need to complete steps 1-3 again....
obviously this is NOT a solution and i think I'm gonna send the phone to repairs....
bonus: to get data off phone, you can do steps 1-3 then use file manager to drop off files to a network share! I use ES File Explorer. Get your data off before sending it to repairs because they will 100% wipe all your ****. Customer service is pretty bad, they do not care about you or your data.

I have been suffering this issue on and off for the last 12 months on my HTC one. Usb host mode, car mode popping up, airplane mode, screen going between landscape and normal on home page.
Out of the blue my phone started charging normally again the other day but stopped again a few days later. Noticed the day it stopped I was charging overnight and had the alarm set. So though I'll try that again so switched phone off after setting alarm and plugged it in to charge. Phone woke up to start alarm and it was charging while switched on again.
Tried all the other solutions without success, will now not set alarm to go off while phone is charging.
Hope this helps some people.

This is a manufacturing issue. I had to send the phone for repairs to HTC, they changed the motherboard, a logic board and a flex cable. Phone now works perfectly and came with Hboot 1.56.

My phone has not been charging correct for 2 days now. It only charges in boot loader mode using Samsung galaxy s4 charger. The HTC and Verizon chargers I have flicker charge in boot loader mode. I have tried everything I have read on here and on other sites with no luck. I am s-off and rooted with teamwin recovery but since I can't hook the phone up to a PC I can't s-on and unroot to try to see if I can do a warranty exchange via Verizon's extended warranty.

Only charging when off

Tried doing this (and the other reboot, and safe mode, using different chargers,etc), to no avail... I am going to get the USB charge port fixed and see if that will do the trick. I'll update if it fixes it.
UPDATE: Phone died. Getting it checked out but through a regular place and not through HTC as that would take too long. I'll see what they determine to be the issue... Though it's not likely going to be a cheap fix...
UPDATE 2: Could not determine issue, and can't send into HTC as it is not under the 1 year warranty anymore. Tried contacting HTC Canada, still haven't got back to me. Phone is done as far as I'm concerned; I realize now that HTC uses the bulk of their precision work on the exterior and beauty is skin deep because this is pathetic if multiple people are having this issue. Got a Nexus 5 instead.

EDIT
Problem solved
I just started having this issue today.

Still Charges
I've been getting a notification with an explanation mark saying the phone will not charge and is in USB Host Mode. This message comes randomly. I haven't had an issue charging the phone but don't think I've tried while the message is up. I just close the message and it may come up a few hours later. Like I said, phone seems to work fine and has charged the few times since getting the phone 3 days ago.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II 4G (SGH-T679) Can't Boot

My Galaxy Exhibit II 4G is about a year old, rooted and i have CM11 installed. Everything was fine, I had it plugged in (charging) and i was downloading an app (Camscanner) from the Mobogenie store when suddenly the phone shut off and the battery icon appeared with the loading circle in the middle.
This did not stay on for long as the screen would go off and this would again appear. After pulling the battery and removing the charger, then reinserting the battery, the phone would just flash the SAMSUNG logo in this very same manner.
I am unable to get into either recovery or download modes and when i try this combination (VOL UP + VOL DWN) i get:
RAMDUMP MODE
Cause: Force Upload
I have been reading forums for hours and i have found nothing. Is my device bricked? What can I do to recover it? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated :crying:

What happens if you try vol. up + power, or vol. down + power?

Thanks for replying. Nothing happens. It just continues to reboot like I'm not doing anything. The only way I'll get a reaction out of it is with vol up + vol down

It can be tricky. This post may be clear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32437850&postcount=6

The link you sent me to sounds similar to my problem, except I wasn't trying to update the firmware. The crash was spontaneous.
However, neither of those methods work. As soon as I put in the battery the SAMSUNG logo appears, then disappears and reappears and it continues like that... Pressing the power button does nothing, whether by itself or with the volume up/down button
I am beginning to panic

What happens when it's connected to power?

Anyway, after many hours of investigation I discovered it was a hardware problem. The power button was stuck and so it forced it to reboot repeatedly. It also explains why it (the power button) was unresponsive. Disassembling the phone and freeing up the power button solved the problem.
P.s. Your build of CM11 is boss

I have same problem with power button. Had to tweak it hard cause it was so sensitive.

It's the first time it's happened to me. Probably because I dropped it so many times

Strange, ...

OK so I'm no expert or anything but maybe my experience with this Model might be able to help you a little bit. I have the same model and it was doing the exact same thing however I haven't rooted it. And I've since corrected the issue on mind particularly it appeared that it was the charge port and/or USB that either had a bad connection or possibly it was boot looped. However with me not rooting the I didn't understand how it could be booted Looped so I started playing around with holding the power button playin with USB things of this nature and what I found was that if I hold the USB to one side either left or right, this allowed me to help a boot farther into it sequence at first to just show the Samsung logo over and over then I could get it to get to the boot sequence about halfway through the boot animation until I finally got to the exhibit screen where displays its model and 4G status. I accomplish this by holding the USB to one side and pushing and holding the power button intermittently throughout the boot. Once I hit the unlock screen unlock the device and I immediately factory data reset it. I'm under the impression that mine was possibly I think that mine was somehow a corrupted bootloader or software still I don't know what caused it to backed up to this day occasionally it'll shut itself down and reboot on me that's why I'm here today I've got all the parts and pieces I need to flash a new rom and hopefully new software the new work over I'll be good to go I also cleaned the USB port made sure that it was still snug to the board all of the good stuff. I don't know if it'll help you but I had the same situation I thought you'd like to know that it was probably not what you were doing with the phone it may just be the software itself with this particular phone see I done nothing that you didn't had the exact same problems. I hope it was somewhat helpful if you haven't gotten it unlocked or re-booted yet. Then maybe just play around with the power sources and power buttons. And see if you can get the same results I did

Nubia Z9 Mini Problem Helped needed please

I've had this phone for 1 month and installed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/rom-nubia-z9-mini-nx511j-rom-twrp-t3142204
