I have an LG Revolution that will not enter emergency download mode, infact I can't even get the screen to turn on no matter what I do. What happened was the battery was alot less charged than I had thought during a restoration using LGNPST; and it seems that the battery died right in the middle of the restoration.
Ideas?
had this happen once, try leaving it wall charging for a while then plug it in via usb, while plugged in via usb after chargin remove and replace batt do hard reset with phone completely off (pow + vol down) lgnpst should start then.
That didn't work. The phone won't even charge.

You may have already tried but just in case try to enter emergency download mode by taking out the battery, then plug in usb to computer, then hold power and volume UP -- not down, and then while continuing to hold the buttons insert battery.

Tried it a million times.
Any luck yet? I'm curious how this turns out...
Anyway just a random thought I had... maybe you could take it in to a store and have them charge the battery for you. It might respond better with a full battery.
Just a total guess but you never know...

I've tried to charge the battery using a USB cable connected directly to the negative and positive on the battery, but I'm not quite sure if it charged the battery as the phone still doesn't respond. I'm going to take this phone and a hardbricked HTC Thunderbolt I've got into a Verizon store some time today or tomorrow. Thanks for the input.
Today my D3 rebooted unexpectedly. After the reboot, the phone didn't turn on, and I connected to energy to make sure that it wasn't a battery problem. When I connected it, it tried to boot, and I left it, but when I came back, the phone was fully dead. Doesn't turn on. The battery is OK, I put it on a Motorola Bravo, and it showed 60% charge. I have a Factory Programming Cable, and I connected it to the phone, but neither this way the phone did turn on.
I don't know what to do, it seems that is a hardware problem . When I put the battery, the phone heats a lot
Any ideas?

Wish I could be the one answering but I'm writing to chime in that the exact same thing happened to me today. Same thing re my battery. The only thing I'd add is that it did have trouble booting up for no reason 2 or 3 days ago, but I took out the battery, waited maybe 20 minutes, and she rebooted okay. I called Verizon, and wouldn't you know that I'm 3 days out of warranty. They wouldn't budge to let me get a replacement under warranty.

With the phone powered off, slide the keyboard open. Hold down "X" while powering on to access the boot menu. I can't recall what holding down the "M" key while powering on does, though...

Seems to be permanently bricked. Gone back to my old Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5. Good phone, but slow for today's standards, outside of HTC Sense not finger-friendly and, of course, I don't have access to apps. Going to wait out my Vzw contract and then very likely get a SmartTalk account using an unlocked GSM phone.
The x/m refers to an alternative hard reset method. Hold down both of those keys along with the power button.
Hi guys,
So as the title states, I have an issue with my HTC One having frozen - before anything else, I understand that this is a developers forum, and although I have am still using the stock software and have not rooted my device, I'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me with this!
Yesterday at about 7pm, I opened the Gmail app, which froze, and tried to resolve this by opening the task manager to close the app, which subsequently froze, and then I tried pressing the power button twice to refresh the display - and this is how I am stuck on the black screen. In addition to this, no lights flash when holding the power button, and the device won't take a charge (the LED doesn't light up)
I quickly searched the net to find methods of trying to unfreeze the device - namely doing a soft reset for 30 seconds, a soft reset under a bright light (to overwhelm the sensor) for 30 seconds, holding the power button for 20 seconds, unplugged and plugged into the mains. It was also recommended to me to leave the phone on mains for 10 minutes, and then press the power, volume up and volume down buttons for 2 minutes - but this had no effect.
I have had the device for about 6 months, and this is the first time I've had any problem at all with it.
My options are to send it in for repair, or to leave it for a few days to drain any remaining charge, and then attempt to turn it back on.
I was hoping that some of you might be able to recommend any methods that I have not yet tried, or might be able to estimate roughly how long it will take for the device to drain?
I'm sorry if this post is mainly a repeat of what has been posted before, but in all of the cases that I found, people were still able to access the soft reset menus (of which I am unable)
Thank you for any help you can offer!
I have the same problem, but I was on a custo ROM (CM11).
Nothing that I have tried works, and I also hope the someone can tell us how to solve this...

Oh no, that's not good! How long has your device been affected?
I suppose that the main problem is that the warranty is now void on yours? I can't imagine it being a cheap repair :/
i have same problem but im running 4.4.2 and until now i can't fix it :crying:

Since 3 days, so I'm still hoping that when the battery drains completely, it will turn off and then boot normally.
If it is a hardware problem, I hope that it will be hard enough to repair for the technical service to give me a new unit

Have you done a Hard Reboot of the phone by holding the power button + vol up/down for about 15 seconds ?

Yeah, I tried doing that for 2 minutes (as advised by HTC Support) yesterday and Thursday - although I've not done anything with the phone today, as I'm hoping leaving it to discharge will have an effect!
Same here. 15seconds, 2 minutes, one hour... there's no hard reboot.
Also plugging ad unplugging, taking out the SIM card... anything happens.
My battery was nerly full so maybe it will take one week to discharge

Whilst I'm unsure as the whether the device will have actually charged while frozen, if it has charged, it will probably take a long time to discharge.
Thankfully, mine was only on about 25% when it froze - so here's hoping I'll have a result by Monday...

does the computer even recognize the phone when you plug it in ?
are you able to do a fastboot command ?
No, it doesn't. I have also tried installing a RUU but it's not possible. The phone seems to be completely dead. I hope it is just a deep coma from which it can be recovered.

I will wait a few days to see if the battery drains and it can boot again. I don't even know if the phone is still on or off..

That's the problem I'm having - I don't actually know if the device is on or off! It makes sense that if it's not responding in anyway, then the device is still on and frozen, or it could be the implication of a hardware fault, maybe blown motherboard or something.
Yes, and for me that would be an absolut mess, cause I had very important data stored on the phone...
And if you send the phone to repair they always make a factory reset and delete everything in your phone.
I had this issue on my One X and my fix was leaving it on the charger for about 6 hours and unplugging it and holding the power button for a full two minutes.

Thanks, but first I will try to leave the battery fully discharge. If I charge the phone and it doesn't work, then I will have to wait one week for it to drain completely again.
Hold it under a very bright light or point a flas hled to the sensor and hold power and volume down for a couple seconds
I have encountered a strange phenomenon on my HTC One. I woke up and forgot to charge my phone the previous night, so I went to charge it and after about ten minutes it kept turning on and off with the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen over and over again. There is no LED light to signify a charge, and I am able to get to the bootloader screen (I hope that is what it is called) by pressing the volume down but the phone restarts and won't let me click anything. It will only let me scroll down or up once so I can't get to the factory reset. I've tried many battery tricks such as holding both volume buttons and the power button for two minutes and nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the same thing happened.
I tried posting a video but the forum won't let me since I'm a new user!
Hoping someone can help me out! I just want to get my photos back more than anything.
Thanks!

looks like the phone doesnt have enough battery to boot, shut it down and let it charge for 1-2 hours at least. If there is no led when charging, its probably because of a bad cable or charger. You can shut the phone down from bootloader: fastboot ---> power down.

Thanks for the quick response! I've switched out the charger to the original stock charger and I'm still having the same problem. The phone will automatically turn itself on after 10-20 mins and go into the boot loop. The other issue is I can't select anything from bootloader because it reboots again. I think the video would be helpful so I might go post on random parts of the forum to get 10 posts.

doesnt looks good mate. Maybe an hardware defect.
Just to be sure, you can power off the phone, if you do it reboots?
Maybe a problem with the power button or the battery...
Sounds to me like a knackered battery, unfortunately, that's one of the down sides of LiPo batteries, when they die they actually still contain 5% charge, if it drops below that, they are pretty much dead and cant really be charged properly again, ive learned this experience from flying radio controlled aircraft, basically, once the power starts dying, land it and charge it, if you push it right to the end, not only do you risk the chance of an expensive crash, but you have also just killed a £70 battery.

Oh man, that means I killed two batteries that day. I was flying my friend's quadcopter and the screen uses a lipo battery, which randomly died and now won't charge Yikes! You live and you learn. Is there anything I can do to "spark" the battery? Or more importantly any way to save my pictures? Thanks for all the replies!

I dont think you'll be able to backup anything with the phone stuck in this bootloop. Probably the battery can be replaced wihout loosing data on the phone.

I don't have a choice when the phone powers off, it randomly does it on its own when I'm in bootloader or if its just sitting there. I don't think its the power buttom because I can still press it, so its not jammed or anything. We have insurance on our phones so I can get a new one. I'm just looking to save the data at this point! Thanks for all your help so far!
It seems that my z1 has just given up on life.
I was checking my gmail and the phone switched off. It wouldn't switch on so I tried vol-up and power, it vibrated but did nothing.
Now absolutely nothing will make it show any signs of life, it seems to be completely dead which is weird. No LEDs or vibrations at all, so I guess I'll be returning it :crying:

Even mine was dead for sometime today
Even my phone gave me a shock today... Screen switched off and the phone was not responding.... had to reset it through the sim tray!
I get 3 vibrations when holding the reset button next to the SIM tray, but nothing else.
Strange. Vol down and power would reset the phone?

I had the same issue your having with my rooted Samsung s4. I couldn't get anything. Bought secondary battery... Son took into verizon came on briefly. My programming USB cable rusted out, had to buy a new jib. That didn't work. I just persevered, I found life when I put in the battery and started hitting the power button repeatedly, 15-20 times
Finally it would turn on, used the jib got it into download mode and flashed the ROM with odin again. Still had some issues so I did a reset then re flashed again, re rooted and started loading programs.
Still not sure if it was/is the power button or system change I made with exposed or other such toolت.
Also now using button savior as a preventative measure. As an added bonus I have 3 batteries and a stand alone battery charger.
Please update your thread as status changes. Hope you get it working.

my z1 2 hours ago had died, I solved by connecting it to flashtool with the volume down pressed. I have version .157
I would think faulty battery, had same issue with old s2
No idea what the problem could be, perhaps moisture got into the headphone jack or something and made its way into the phone.
As I said, when I help vol+ and power it would vibrate 3 times to indicate power off however it would show no signs of life when turning it on.
Flashtool wouldn't recognise it nor would PC Companion.
I sent it away to Sony to repair last week - it's currently still with the technician. I'll update the thread as the repair progresses to let you know the outcome! Hopefully it will be a manufacturing error and I won't have to pay for a repair.
I recognize this problem in a slightly different form.
When my battery is completely dead and I try to charge it and turn it on it won't. It gives me the same three vibrations. I let it charge on the fast charger the whole night. Nothing. (0% charge, light stays red all night long.)
Then I reset it (red dot next to SIMtray) (which does nothing, no vibrations) but it works if not connected to the charger (it only vibrates then)
After reset I try to charge it and it goes automatically on but when it goes on it stops charging after splash screen and turns off and stops charging.
Then it's just trial and error. Reset, no reset, manual turn on, turn off, reset with USB connected, without and eventually it charges and I can turn it on.
After that it works fine.
