[Q] HTC Battery Failure, overheating and Will not turn on....PLEASE HELP - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I have my phone rooted and I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 on the device. It was running perfect untill today. I woke up and with in a few hours the battery was dead. The phone was gettting really hot during this time too. I plugged it in to a charger and the battery kept dropping. I was going to restore Stock root on it but I needed the battery to be alittle higher before I was going to do it, now the device will not turn back on. It is a Sprint HTC ONE. Any advise would help.

Leave it completely turned off, charge it for a day, when it comes back on go back to stock, completely wipe everything. If it still has the problem its defective and youre back on stock so you can return it.

Battery fried?

To start off yes I've searched lol. I was updating to TWRP last night and all seemed to go well. I went to reboot my phone and it never came back on. Is it possible the battery is pooched? or possible brick? It won't turn on, charge, or do anything Just looking for some ideas as to what may have happened.
Have you tried removing battery waiting a few and then replacing? Then try holding volume down and power to see if it boots to hboot

Lost 27% battery when phone off

I had turned phone off when it was fully charged yesterday and put my Sim in Galaxy
SII and when I replaced back today and turned Nexus 4 on today, the battery was showing 73%. I can not believe it lost 27% in totally power off mode.
My phone is not rooted yet.

How long have you had your phone for? If you just got it recently, keep testing it like that for a few days. It could be just the battery sensor on the phone being new and all.
After I posted the first post, I was checking the battery in settings and it showed that my phone was on battery for over 22 hours. The weird thing is that I literally turned phone on from power off state and saw nexus boot animation came on and phone powering on.
I now think the phone actually do not power off in power off state.
Is something wrong with this phone? Or it is suppose to do that.?

I've found a bug where sometimes the phone will sometimes report the wrong level of battery when charging, but when you restart the phone it will go back to the right level. This might be what happened to you.

CM10 not booting!

I just flashed CM10 Experimental build 02/11/13, and it is stuck on the boot logo. I have tried relocking the bootloader, running the RUU, unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing CM but it still won't work.
EDIT: Now, I can't even boot into HBOOT!
Did you flash the boot IMG when u flashed or are you s-off

Sorry for the late response, but yes, I did everything necessary for a device with S-ON. I can now confirm it's bricked.

How did you brick it? It's almost impossible if you flashed the rom than fastboot flashed the boot.img, wipe cache and dalvik.
Sent from my Vivid 4G using xda app-developers app
You didn't brick it. CM10 for the Vivid has boot issues. Keep flashing the boot.img and ROM while wiping caches and factory resetting repeatedly until it boots.
Well, the device does not turn on at all. No recovery, no bootloader, no fastboot, nothing.

At what point does your phone reboots? At the white HTC screen or at the Cyanogenmod boot animation?
Have you tried removing the battery for 30 seconds, putting it back in, waiting 10 seconds and then the bootloader button sequence?

Actually, my phone doesn't boot, at all. So, it would be impossible to say when it stops working...

Does your orange light up when you plug it? Could you try another battery? I heard battery durability was short on some devices.
If another battery doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm out of options...

No light turns on, nothing.

Dead battery
I would suspect the battery has cratered. The symptoms are identical, doesn't boot, doesn't light when plugged in, etc.
1. Get an external battery charger. I have had good luck with one by Anker on Amazon
2. Charge your battery in the external system.
3. Pop it back into your phone and turn it on.
When you go to Amazon to buy that charger, buy yourself a spare battery. My favorite system is to keep a charged battery with me, swap it in when the phone battery gets too low, and get that battery into a charger. Total phone down time, less than 1 minute. And for those occasions when the battery takes a dump like yours did, you have a charged backup waiting.

Just pointing this out....ignore tapatalk signatures as many people have more than one device...Zero actually has his own dev thread here for the vivid for miui
I don't really have much to offer help wise...but the vivid is known for corrupting batteries if they die while the phone is not booted up...or at least jot being able to charge a dead battery...try getting a new battery and see if that helps...best of luck to you...hope you figure it out...its a shame when an expensive device becomes nothing more than a paper weight...if I get any other ideas I'll let you know...
Edit: try the option listed right above my post...didn't see that lol
Worst case scenario...you can try selling it for $25-75 depending on physical condition...some people love buying broken phones cause they know how to fix them...then you can put that money towards a new phone

Sounds like you've taken several steps to try to resolve your issue. Can you say with 100% certainty which recovery was last installed and whether that recovery flashed correctly? The symptoms sound like a discharged battery with no charge support in recovery, or a corrupted recovery image.
These are the steps I would take. Obtain a charged battery. This could be a standalone battery charger, where you remove the battery from your device and plug it into the charger. The charger should indicate the current charge condition of the battery and when it is fully charged. Or, buy/borrow a battery you know to have a charge. There are inexpensive batteries @ Amazon that would suffice for this effort.
If, with a known charged battery you can't get into bootloader, you have bigger issues. If you can, then find the instructions on the forum to get back to stock and start over.

SOS .. SOS ..

Guys .. my Note is not powering up.
Did not install any ROM in the last 15 - 20 days... so surely not a brick.
Last running OS - CM 10 Nightlies .. If am not wrong a version in the first week of June ...
Did not update it after that..
Yesterday I was playing Ingress whole day while connecting my Not to a laptop using USB cable so as to keep it charged..
The battery percentage did go as low as 1% during the game but mobile was still on.
I did keep it for chargin a full night yesterday... Today morning was a surprise as the phone just does not switch on.
Some times is powers on and powers off in under 20 sex Even while it is connected to a power supply.
Tried to see if I can go into Download or Recover mode ... does not work that way too
Please help me out.. Tell me any way to revive my phone ...
At this point am unsure if it is the battery causing problems or the phone ...
The phone doesn't enter recovery as you have a critically low battery, try that battery in another phone & try another battery in your phone. Your phone is recognised on the laptop right?
No other phone where this battery can fit.
BTW... I tried my old battery in the phone.. Then the new battery in again and it started charging..
Thanks guys

This is why you should always get a charger for the battery, out of the phone.

Strange shut down on Low battery

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.
