I have a Nexus One that recently don't boot.
THe first problem I got with it is the screen was turning black when I called someone. Then the phone didn't boot at all.
When I plug it on the power it gives me a light. I charged it till it's green.
Tried booting it with some tricks like hold : vol down, sleep button and the track ball. No result.
I don't thinkt he phone is rooted.
ANy ideas?
While the phone is plugged in, pull out the battery and put it back in a few times. Does the phone start back up? If so, it is most likely because your power button has gone bad.

I think this is the problem since I feel the power button is weird when I press it.
Any solution ?
thanks.

The "solution" is posted above. With phone plug into charger, remove and insert battery. Might take a few times for it to come on. That is if the power button is the cause.
You'll need some ROM with trackball wake if your button is broken.
I don't really know what happened. When I press the power button my phone's screen lights just black then goes blank. When I press my buttons they vibrate but nothing happens. I've tried pulling the battery out several times, leaving it on the charge and all other kinds of things. It is just not working. Does anyone have the solution to this problem?
I'm not sure if this is the same issue..but along the process of rooting my rogers raider I encountered thus during a regular restart. I thought I bricked my phone but realize that the back light was just off and my phone was actually in the recovery menu. I put the phone under bright light and I could just barely see the headings in the recovery menu. It took some tilting and angling the phone just right to see it, but I was able to run a nandroid recovery and get back to a point before this happened. Once again, not sure if its the same thing but try tilting the phone around and using the volume keys to see if you can see the recovery menu in the blank screen.
Hope this helps

This doesn't seem to be the situation I'm having but thank you anyway. +Thanks.
when you plug it in to charge, does the orange charge light come on for 4-5 seconds then go out again? have you tried to hold the vol down key and the power button to get into HBoot? If you can get into HBoot, you might be able to get into recovery.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. I tried what you said but it is not working. My phone won't go into Hboot.
I think your battery isn't charging (at least that was the issue I was having). Your battery will only charge when the orange light goes on, and if it's anything like what was happening to me, when the orange light went off, that's when the buttons would vibrate. If this is the case, it may sound tedious, but you have to watch the phone. When the orange light goes off, push the home button several times and the vibrating will stop. Then you should see the orange light come on again to signify the charging state. It'll go off again after 4-5 seconds and the buttons will vibrate. Repeat the process of pushing the home button and letting the orange light come on and eventually, the phone should try and turn on. You can try and see if it'll boot, but mine never had enough juice to turn on. So I would pull the battery when the HTC Logo came up and repeat the process with the orange light. This time though, I would hold the vol down button knowing that when it tried to turn on again, it would load into the bootloader. I can't guarantee this'll work for you, but give it a go. What might make it easier is borrow a charged battery from someone and see if it'll load into the bootloader. That might save you from that tedious process.

I tried your method.. And when you said to tap the home button several times... It never stops vibrating.. It just keeps going.

OK I get what you have to do now.... but it wont work... I plugged in my charger.. The light would go for 5 sec. then I would touch the buttons and they vibrate.. So I tap the home button constantly. And the orange light didnt come back up.. HELP! PLEASE!
help the charging light doesn't come back again.. vibration has stopped.. but still no charging light
help pleaseeee
Try different battery fully charged and see if your phone turns on. It it does then plug your phone for charging and see if charges.
Try connecting your phone with usb cable in computer and see if your computer recognize the phone.
there can be three issues.
1. Your battery is dead and won't charge
2. Your charging port on phone is not working
3. your phone backlight is not working.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hello
I hope to get an answer here to avoid a new thread. I was trying to return my vivid back to gb from ics. I had booted into the bootloader and i dont even remember at this point what i thought i was going to do. I think i got distracted. But anyway i pressed vol down to boot recovery because i was going to do a backup and i looked away from the phone for a minute and when i came back to it the phone was black screen. i hit the power thinking it was just on standby but nothing. I notice it was backlit on the screen but nothing would happen when i press anything. I pulled the battery waited a few min put it back and now totally black with no activity at all. no lights no vibrating no power on, no adb. I have played with a lot of phones and even iphones too so if this thing is fried i guess i will consider myself lucky that its the first ive actually killed out of probably 30 phones. I have searched and tried many things but i cant believe there is no way to recover it. I have recovered a lot of phones I thought I bricked before. any help is greatly appreciated. I was on ics and rooted. I also relocked the bootloader. (i was planning to go back to gb) I thought i had a recovery installed but maybe not. i posted in another thread that i was unable to get hboot by power + vol down method. i could only do it through the tool kit. so i dont know if any of that matters

I hope someone resolves this issue, I've messed with lots of phones. But this is really weird. But I got the same problem where all that happens is that there is backlight on but no boot IMG no HTC logo, no bootloader, recovery. Completly non responsive. At first it wouldn't even power on until I would unplug from a power source. Whether it was unpluging the charger or removing the battery. That's when the backlight would flash. All this happened in the process of flashing a PH39IMG.zip
Is there no other fixes for this? Anyone? Please

I once got stuck on the HTC screen (White background) and found out I could access the device in adb.
So, connect your phone to your pc and check if you can access it from adb (adb devices). If you can try get to the bootloader from here and see what happens (adb reboot-bootloader)!
And if you can access bootloader,
>If you need to get back to stock, get your carrier RUU, put rom.zip from it in an external sdcard and use reboot into hboot again, OR
>if you need a custom ROM unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery (TWRP is cool) and you may use TWRP to install your ROM
I hope this helps... lets know...
I did mention I cant get it to recognize the phone. So no adb I tried all that before posting. Im afraid im just dead
So I am having the same problem. I eventually got it on yesterday but I turned off my phone and I am back to square one. Would using the vivid toolkit work to reboot to hboot? or am I stuck like this until i replace battery?
4 hours later I am back on!! never turning this thing off again
Had the same problem and just left the at&t store and its the battery. Once he exchanged batteries it worked fine

I upgraded to an HTC One a month ago in T-Mobile and now randomly the phone won't turn on. The phone is rooted, unlocked, custom recovery, and has the Android Revolution ROM. I installed everything the first week I got it and it has been working perfectly fine (No freezes, battery discharging has a good rate) and everything works (Wifi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth). The phone has not been dropped, water damaged, or exposed to any excessive heat, so it should not be having problems.
Yesterday (9/14/13), I was using the phone just fine around 8PM with my friends in a restaurant and everything seemed fine. A few hours later when I was walking down the street, I take my phone out of my pocket and when I hit the power to wake up the phone nothing happened. I pressed the power button for 10-20 seconds and nothing.
When I got back to my room and plugged it in, the LED did not turn on or anything and when I pressed the power button again after being plugged in, nothing happened. I charged it all night and decided to work with it today, but nothing has helped. I have tried holding the power button and volume keys for minutes, holding power button and nothing. When I plug in the phone to the PC it detects it (Windows USB sound in) and when I press the power button for around 15 seconds it makes the sounds but then it makes the removed usb sound.
Since the phone is Rooted, unlocked and has custom recovery and rom, I'm not sure warranty would help, ALTHOUGH since it doesn't turn on and physically is not tampered with, they could get it to at least turn on.
Please help me out here as I am a college student and really need my phone for work and to stay in touch with my parents. Thank you, and I apologize if I didn't follow a posting guideline.
P.S. One of the causes could be a drained battery, but the charging all night should have helped.

Try holding the power button and volume down buttons down, while holding the proximity sensor directly under a very bright light...
This actually happened to me on my first HTC one I couldn't get it to do anything I ended up sending it to HTC I knew they would deny my warranty claim because of the bootloader and ROM but I knew they would have to turn it on yo figure it out. They called me to tell me that it was not covered and said it would cost 215 to put it back to regular I denied and paid the $35 diagnostic fee when I got it back I booted straight into fastboot and flashed my backup.problem solved

This actually sounds like a great, thanks , but before sending it out I think I would like to try other solutions since it would suck to not have my phone for 2-3 weeks. Also, how long did the whole process take for you? (Sending it out, "repair", and getting it back)
This happens to a guy in another thread. He fixed it by leaving it in the wall charge until the red LED turned on, it took 4 days on the charge.
Hey it actually only took about 1week take it back to your carrier have them send it for you. I also heard about leaving it on the charger for a long time I tried over night and it didn't work the next thing I did was send it to "repair" but if you have the patience leave it on change for a few days first

I have a Verizon HTC One exhibiting the exact same symptoms. The battery went dead after a long day and it will not turn on or charge. I have held the proximity sensor in bright light while powering on and while holding both vol up and power. Neither seemed to change the problem. How bright of a light are we talking? Thanks in advance. I am also curious why this works....
Maby i can help^^

Its so that if the phone is in your pocket it won't start up as the proximity sensor detects the phone is in your pocket so tells it not to start up. Sometimes the sensor doesn't work as it should and needs a really intense light to overwhelm the sensor and let the phone start up.

Put it under a desk lamp!
I had the same exact problem. My phone couldn't turn on after it reached 0% and there was no orange light when charging. I put the phone right under my desk lamp and held the power button for 15 seconds and it turned on. Thought people were just trolling... The battery was at 1% when it turned on. I already left the phone in wall charge overnight. Guess it was not charging very well. Thanks for coming up with this solution!
It worked!!!
WOW The light over the sensor worked for me too!! I'm glad I came to this forum first!!:laugh::laugh:
Doesn't work for me
This REALLY sucks I just got this HTC One used and I was using it all yesterday and this morning with no problems. Then all of a sudden a couple hours ago it just shut down - I was just browsing the web, so it wouldn't have overheated.
Now, it won't charge (the LED doesn't come on) although it was at about 50% when it shut down. I can't get into the bootloader or recovery, and ADB doesn't recognize that it's plugged in (despite Windows playing the little jingle indicated it's been connected).
Ever since then I've been scrounging the web for answers, What exactly have you guys done for this light trick to work? Because I've held it under a bright LED and under a desk lamp with a 13W CFL bulb, while holding power + volume down, but haven't had any luck.
How long have you guys held them down for?
I haven't even seen the capactive buttons light up (although it's just kinda hard when you're holding it under a light, so maybe they are flashing I just can't see) and the only sign of life from this is the fact that Windows installed Qualcomm drivers and plays the jingle indicating that it's detected a device.
EDIT: Forgot to include, I've been trying to leave it sit charging (one person mentioned their friends' One worked after leaving it charging for 4 days - I'm not sure I can wait that long, but if I have no other option I will).
Also, should I leave the SIM in or would it not matter (personally, I don't see that making any difference whatsoever, but I really don't care at this point)? And should I alternate light/darkness while holding the buttons under a lamp, or just leave it under the light and hold them? (I've tried all of these things, but I'm willing to pursue whatever avenue had the greatest success rate).

Ya, I tried looking into that before, and there's nothing there. Now I'm trying to find out what/where that Qualcomm driver is that was installed.
EDIT: I DO see it in the Devices/Printers as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3).
I've also installed HTC Synce Manager, but I'm not sure if that just automatically installed the drivers or if there's something I should do to manually install those.

I've also installed HTC Synce Manager, but I'm not sure if that just automatically installed the drivers or if there's something I should do to manually install those.

Sorry to hear that. You are hard bricked, send it to warranty.
Edit: The motherboard is fried and HTC would have to change it. The phone is used so contact the seller and ask him for warranty information.

Damn. Really? After just using the phone for a day? Today just really isn't my day.
Would there be any other things I could try? Any jigs to force it to boot into bootloader or anything?

Well, since you're under warranty, doing anything else just doesn't make sense. And using jtag would require you to open the phone, and trust me, you don't wanna do that to this phone.. Just out of curiosity, what are the first 5 digits of your serial no?

ok so i've been using it a bit but my battery was 70% last i checked. was playing around with throw and just opened youtube and the screen flickered a bit (black lines) then decided to go black completely.
nothing i do will make the screen do anything.
holding the power button for ages (usually the way to turn off/reboot a phone) doesnt do anything. the backlight is on as i can see that. but nothing is on the screen.
anyone got any ideas on how to force a shutdown/reboot on these?

IIRC the Xperia Z1 has a hard reset button under the sim flap, it's a small red button, give it a shot.
remove sim card and sd card and try again, if it's still not responding do an update repair using SUS or PCC
BTW there is a known fault with the XZU and it could also be on the Z1 as they use similar Firmware, what people have found is that the phone will start up eventually and then they go into the display setting and untick the auto backlight option and that fixes it
I also reboot my Z1in this way when it blackout.

Had the same issue called Sony, push hard reset button all is fine in the world. Known issue Sony is working on it

Managed to hard reset using power and up volume .
Put it on charge overnight but it doesn't see,m to have taken any charge at all....just trying again using diff PSU and cables but it doesn't want to charge. It recognises that I've out a cable in as I played with the smart connect setting. When it is off completely I get a red light (presumably meaning its charging ) but not in android
Any ideas?
Got it charging again by pushing the red button near sim slot for a couple seconds.
Just had another issue with SD card not being recognised after I removed another (/safely) had to reboot again using power plus vol up as it stuck on the shutdown logo when I tried to power down'...
Wow I can't believe the amount of issues I've ran into within 24hours of having this thing. I really don't know what to do...return it because it sounds like a faulty device (but all the issues are seemingly unrelated) or return and get another phone (is anyone else getting problems like I am?)
Sometimes phones have issues. I got one once that had no speakers or Mic inside... it happens lol
Try to go exchange it, and see if the next device gives you issues.. if not then you're good, if it does pick a different phone..
Do it soon though, most carriers only have a 14 day exchange period, and then after that will charge you all sorts of fees and try to fix your phone rather than just giving you a new one....

sounds like a similar problem I had with my 64gb SD card - as I mentioned above remove all cards then start from there - a reflash of the firmware might help also

Something happened to mine with Youtube too. I'd started a video and paused it on a frame for comparison with another screen. While I was setting the other phone up, the screen on Z1 timed out. I pressed power, the screen come on and flickered, then went black!
Power and both volume keys function the same as the red button under the flap. I wasn't able to reproduce the bug.

yeah i've been trying to reproduce it and failing to. very odd. maybe its something to do with the first time you use youtube and do something specific?
gunna phone o2 up tomorrow and see what they say about all my issues. seems to have been fine this last 24 hours though and in their eyes that is prob reason enough not to issue a replacement.
I've had mine since Monday and this happened to me yesterday. I was troubleshooting sending MMS with T-Mobile tech support (not a phone issue as it was happening on previous phones too) and had to restart the phone several times. I noticed upon restarting that the backlight seemed to be on but the phone was not booting up. Had to perform several hard resets (both with the red reset button as well as the power/volume up buttons) before it FINALLY rebooted and stayed on. While trying to figure this out I ran a Google search to see if others were having this problem. One solution was to make sure the backlight option is checked. I had been messing with settings the night before and must have unchecked it. Since I rechecked it I haven't had the same issue.
Hey guys,
I left my HTC One to charge and when I tried to unlock it, it wouldn't respond. Right now it's a blank screen, the red LED is on even when I unplug the phone, and the hardware buttons are lit. I've tried to restart the phone by holding the power, holding power + volume down, but nothing is working. Device isn't showing up under adb or fastboot devices. What is going on? How can I fix this?
Help me out. Thanks!

Edit: Recently this has been happening to my phone frequently, but I am usually able to get it to restart doing the methods said above. This is the first time I can't get it to do anything.
Put it under a stronger light and longpress power + vol-
Try this
I was actually searching through old threads and found that same answer and tried it. I can't believe it worked! Thanks! Why does this happen though? And will this hopefully prevent it from happening later on?
Are you rooted with a custom rom?
However, idk why it happened

I have 4.3 Google Edition on my phone with TWRP.
I'll remember this trick next time though. Thanks again!

Why the stronger light? Im confused! :cyclops:
This has worked for me a ton of times too, I guess it must just trigger something with the light sensor the phone has and wakes it up.

It happened to me when i was rooted and used CWM.
It happened everytime i let the battery run down completely.
I havent rooted my replacement yet and when i let it run down, charged it for ten minutes and it booted straight up.
Seems to be an issue with the phone reading the charge state of the safety circuit in the phone. Mere speculation but i havent heard of it happening to anyone who wasnt rooted with custom recovery....

Can you please give me a little bit more details?
I have exact the same issue: The battery ran out completely, then I can't charge it or turn it on.
I have tried
1. with charger connect to outlet, power + vol-
2. with charger connect to PC, power + vol-
3. under desk light, without charger connected, power + vol-
Nothing worked for me.
Some questions:
- Should I connect the cable when I attempt to turn on the phone?
- Is normal desk fluorescent light "bright enough"?
- Should I move the phone under the light first then press the button, or the other way around?
Thank you for your help!
i have the same problem in my htc eye. i tried your solution. but it won't worked for me. phone still on blank screen and red light is on. how can i fix it?????
