Hello,
My HTC Touch Diamond (in use since 2008) is strangely suffering power down problem. Once using, it suddenly powered off. Now whenever I try to turn it on either of the following happens:
1) Some times, nothing happens even if I press power button, press soft reset button by stylus or even connect it with PC.
2) If I take out battery and again insert the battery and power on, it starts some times. Windows boots & logo appears. Then after a while during boot, it stops & power is shut down.
I have replaced the fully charged battery, and also tried providing external power supply. I have also formatted the internal memory. The problem is still there.
Before giving it to technician, I want to discuss if someone has solution here?
Regards,
Waseem

Hey,
I bought an HTC ONE M-7 from a user who was running it on a custom Rom and had it S-OFF.
While trying to put stock Rom on the phone via the pc, the pc crashed in the middle of the process and the mobile stopped responding. The phone stayed in this condition until the battery ran dry. Since that moment, the phone doesn't turn on by any combination of hardware buttons as mentioned on different forums. While plugged in to a power source the screen just blinks on and off.
I would be highly obliged if anyone can help me out of this situation.

This is a HARD Bricked phone that first started going berserk after a partial install of a SONY software update. The phone would flash the home screen and continually vibrate. I forced it down with power off. Did not know what I was doing and believe I converted a soft brick to a hard brick. The soft brick at first responded to power button and volume up button to reboot. After that point it became more and more unresponsive to complete death.
It is not recognized by PC (even in the device manager) when plugged into USB port on PC. NO LED or any lights on the phone at all! No red charging LED with charger plugged in, No Sony screen icon, no vibration with power button pushed hard for >10 seconds (with and without pushing up/down volume). The ONLY response I get is an audible windows sound coming from my PC as long as I hold the power and volume up button down.
I have left the phone off a charger for >48 hours and then placed it on the charger for 6-7 hours. Still no red LED while on the phone was on the charger. Reason for me doing this was my reading notes that Sony had a battery error issue that could only be solved by removing the battery or draining it completely. Recharging the battery was suppose to be a fix. A recent poster did this (removed the battery) which is a job and was able to get a red LED but nothing else. There was no reply.
My readings also indicated that there are a number of people with this problem (hard bricked phone) involved with download or install of their software Sony reportedly has a fix to install to correct it. I am a day late and a dollar short.
BTW, the Sony PC companion works up until I connect the phone to the PC and then an error message appears to make sure battery is charged to 80% before proceeding. Ignoring that brings up a troubleshooting screen prompting holding the power button and volume up button for 10 seconds. This is where I get an audible windows connect/disconnect sound coming from my PC that will keep sounding as long ass I hold the buttons down and stops after I remove them. Could this possibly be just a battery issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Firstly, you've made one major mistake when you've turned off your phone by using force. It can completely brick your phone forever.
Secondly, if you can hear any sound when connect your phone to USB, then thats mean, that your phone is still in minimal functionality. However, you can give a try to buy a new battery and see, how it goes.
It's better to buy extra battery, than change the whole phone, am I right?
And try to leave your phone without touching it for couple days I think. Maybe your battery somehow has got any fault or it has been faulted when you've force-shutted the phone.
Just give a try and that's all. You can't do anything else, except if you know and you're ready for phone disassembly. If none of my suggested methods will work, then try some other tutorials, you can search for them in XZ category's. I've forgotten how that thread is named, but you can search by some key-words, like : ultimate recovery, back to life, unbrick and etc.,
I hope my information is all correct and helpful, if not, then sorry for disturbation for nothing

My gut tells me that the battery is OK but needs to be recharged. Apparently there is something that will not allow the battery to recharge unless it is removed or drained to zero. I thought I drained it to zero but perhaps not. The other case where the battery was removed and was then able to show a red LED apparently allowed the battery to recycle. That's as far as he got.
In the mean time I'm taking your advise and just letting the phone sit until someone makes a suggestion or I get tired of looking at it.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
Can you enter the "fastboot" mode (unlocked bootloader) /"flash mode" (locked bootloader) ?
Hold "volume down" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume down" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume down" button. Let go the "volume down" when a green led on your phone appears.
You can still enter the "flash mode" if the green led appears.
Hold "volume up" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume up" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume up" button. Let go the "volume up" when a blue led on your phone appears.
If the blue led appears on your phone you can still enter the "fastboot mode".
There is still hope if the green/blue leds appear on your phone (meaning you can still enter "flash mode" / "fastboot mode".
. But the following question need to be answered:
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?

It is HARD Bricked. Unresponsive to all of the above w/o any LED response.
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?
The phone was purchased from Sony and was factory unlocked. It was running fine until the new update from Sony was installed. I believe the update was related to the OS which is 4.4.4.
Thank you.

Hi all,
Recently my HTC One would randomly have a pop-up that said something along the lines of "To reboot, press and hold the power button" along with a countdown and then the phone will reboot itself. This can happen any time, sometimes multiple times within a half hour, even when it is charging.
The last time it happened, it rebooted, got to the blank black screen, and rebooted again. I've plugged it in to charge but it would not stop rebooting. I've unplugged it to let it run out of battery so hopefully it would stop rebooting itself and I can try charging it again. Once it ran out of juice, I charged it and it continued rebooting itself. Pressing the power + volume keys only worked twice but the screen wouldn't stay long enough for me to select fast reboot or factory reset before rebooting itself again. Now pressing power + volume keys doesn't cause any effect on the phone.
I've never tempered with any of the software settings on my phone and it has been sent for repair three times last year. Also, my laptop does not recognise the phone when I plug it to my laptop.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Normally you get this message when holding the power button. So this message in addition to the rebooting issues makes me believe you have an hardware problem with your power button, maybe its stuck?

I tried pressing on the power button, it seems to be depressing fine. Is there any way I can affirm this?

I think what you explained at post #1 is enough to conclude your power button or something hardware related to it is the problem. I think you'll have to send your device for repair unfortunately unless you want to open the phone yourself to have a look which is not always good idea.
Hey everyone,
I apologise if this has been asked many times before; but I need some assistance with my HTC one M7.
I was using the phone with low battery - with power saver turned on, it turned off completely after a few moments.
I have put the phone on charge, but the LED indicator is not showing up nor the phone turning on or charging at all.
I went through forums, and tried the power button + volume down button to bring up the boot menu, this menu did actually appear - but me being the fool I am - I selected the power down option.
I have been unable to bring the menu up again with the power + volume button combination.
I then connected the phone to my PC - where its installs a driver - qhsusb_dload. I have tried the power + volume button combination with it being connected to my PC - where I hear the device detected bing and device disconnected bing while I hold these buttons down, still unable to charge/power on/ or bring up the boot menu.
I have also left the phone on wall charger for over 12 overs again to no avail.
Can anyone provide any advice - or any method I can salvage the data stored on it i.e. photos?
Thanks for reading - appreciate any help!

If you get it to go into that boot menu again. You sometimes have to hold the power and volume down for about 15 seconds, then release them and again start holding the volume down. This is something I had to do to get into recovery back when my bootloader was still locked.
The power may not coming on, but if you are getting usb sounds from plugging it in maybe the computer you are connecting to could be switched.
I had hard times connecting before from certain machines cause they wanted to run an HTC Sync program. You could try a different machine.
Often people say regarding the behavior of the 3.0 vs 2.0 USB ports, that it is 2.0 that will work. And you might try a Vista machine to get fastboot working.

qhsusb_dload is a well known issue, not caused by the computer you are coonecting to. Its can be caused by a bad firmware flash (flashing an incompatible firmware.zip) or because of an hardware failure. Easy to know what is the cause. Did the phone randomly went in qhsusb_dload mode? Yes ---> Hardware,will most likely need a motherboard replacement. Did the phone went in qhsusb_dload directly after flashing something? Yes ---> Software problem can be fixed with the unbrick project.
