Really randomly today I try to turn on my Nexus One after not using it for a couple of weeks, and when I plug it in it just vibrates non-stop. Screen won't turn on, phone won't turn on, nothing, just straight vibration.
So I plug into into the USB port, same exact thing, just vibrates one long never-ending vibration.
But apparently the computer is recognizing it because when I plug it in, it says unknown USB device detected (thru all the vibration and all).
I hold down all manner of combination of vol up, vol down, vol up + vol down, etc... before plugging it in or trying to turn it on, even with the battery removed from the device, same thing, no fastboot, no recovery, no splash screen.
Basically right now the only hope I have is that it IS vibrating, so it's doing something, and that even though the computer can't recognize the USB it is recognizing something plugged into it.
Any thoughts?

Hi my HTC one which has Android Revolution 13 installed on it recently ran out of battery and now it won't turn back on. I have tried wall charging and usb charging with 4 different chargers and wires, but the phone still refuses to turn on. There are no orange, green, or red lights on the phone that I can see however when I plug it into my computer the computer plays the sound that something was connected and then plays the sound that it was disconnected. I have also tried every combination of trying to turn the phone on from just the power button, power button and volume down, power button volume up, power button and both volume buttons from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The phone absolutely just feels dead and the only response I get is from when it is hooked up to the computer and it only makes sounds from the pc the phone is still dead even when connected. HTC Sync does not recognize the phone either. Any ideas?

I have tried searching for it but there are not alot of solutions mostly just the same problem. Most of the solutions are just the same hold the power button with the volume buttons.
What comes up in Device Manager when you plug into your PC? If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, you have a brick.
It's not unheard of for a phone to brick if you let the battery go completely dead. The phone is supposed to shut off before then, but if you force the issue, that can kill the battery.
You should be able to get a warranty return.
When i connect mine to pc nothing is detected..:banghead: same goes to the H1..nothing happen..no charging or blinking led..already try the trick power button+vol key..result non.. also try connect n disconnect power cable more than 20 times while holding power button only and power button+vol..still nothing..

Try this, took me over 2 days of tinkering

Hi everyone. I had my phone at about 50% charge. I turned off the screen and slipped it into my pocket. Just now, I tried turning it on, and it won't turn on. I figured the battery must have drained itself so I plugged in the charger and the light won't turn on. I then pressed down the down volume and the power button and it went into bootloader. From there, I pressed "reboot" and it again went dark. Now I can't even get it to start into bootloader. Even if this phone is dead, is there any way to retrieve the files stored on it?
Also, when I plug my phone into a USB, I get a message "USB device not recognized"
Does this mean it is still alive?
Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Did you connect phone holding volume down key or are you connecting usb after that pressing volume down key

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted
Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.
Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.
Hello. This morning I've turned off the alarm, turned on WIFI and went back to sleep. I can't tell for sure, but I think the battery was low. During the next 2 hours I checked the time several times. I don't remember accepting any OTA. Eventually I got up, tried to check the time and the phone was off. I tried to turn it on, no effect. No matter how many times and for how long I pressed and held the power button, the green LED only flashed for a split second and that's all. I plugged in the charger, and the LED stayed lit -but- there was this barely noticeable flickering. Charged it for about 30, 60, 120 minutes, didn't start plugged or unplugged. I went to work, 8 hours later (phone was unplugged) I tried to turn it on again, this time the LED doesn't even flash, but when charging there is no flickering. No combination of buttons works. Windows doesn't find the device, neither does RSD.
I've never done anything 'custom' to the phone. The last change I made was setting the alarm to turn off by shaking (yesterday, never used this option before).
Is it dead?
Try taking SD card out and holding Vol down and then Power for 20 secs, then let go of Power,
Already done that, nothing. No matter how long I charge it now, after unplugging and pressing power button the LED doesn't even flash. Could it be a battery problem (before its death, it would last for a day)? Is there any way of recovering my data without buying a new one?
Try opening and disconnect battery for a bit.
I'll do that as a last resort, on weekend maybe since I don't have the tools with me. Any other clues?
Nobody knows how to help me?
I'm going to make a factory cable. Will this alone allow me to recover the data? Or if I'll be able to flash the phone, can I recover the data afterwards?
Also, I'm not sure if I understand correctly: does the factory cable recharge the battery or not? Is there a way to recharge it when removed from the phone?
Try to use medfield unbrick script. If You have only green led it seems to be bootloader error so this script should bring Your phone to life or Your phone has broken emmc and You can start looking for a new logic board. Good luck.
I've installed the drivers, but Windows and XFSTK don't recognize my device at all. Factory cable also didn't help. I liked my phone very much. :angel:
Did You enter medfield mode using combination with camera button??
By a combination you mean holding the camera button and connecting the phone to a pc? I tried that.
Disassembe Your phone, pull out battery, push power button for a 10 sec, plug in battery, push camera button and connect USB. If it wont help You I don't see any hope for Your phone.
Well, new option to try is a new hope. I'll try that on the weekend. Could you please be more specific:
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Press the power button and wait 10 seconds.
3. Insert the battery: should I be still holding the power button at this moment?
4. Press the camera button.
5. Plug in the usb cable (factory? regular?) - should I be still holding the power and camera buttons?
Battery trick is only to discharge capacitors. Sometimes even phone is dead it can turn on in some strange mode and then You can't boot it to flash. Thats why You need to pull out battery, push power for a few sec to completely discharge motherboard and just release this button. After that You can just plug in battery and continue normal unbrick process - so hold camera button only and connect regular usb cable.
You can also try reset option instead of pulling battery out. To do that do not disassemble Your phone but just plug in regular USB, when phone starts (green led) hold power and vol- until green led goes off and then quickly start holding only camera button.
I have no more ideas.
Ok, I've tried everything. Nothing brought my phone back to life.
Thanks for all your help.
Hello folks. thank you in advance.
I'm 99.9% sure my phone is done. I checked the forums and found similar issues - but nothing exactly like mine. after five day here is what happened, and my troubleshooting steps.
the issue started five days ago. my phone was plugged into my HTC wall charger, which was plugged into a power bar connected to the wall. I made dinner, ate, and came to get my phone.
the lights under the back and home buttons were lit up, but the screen was not. I pressed the unlock button
nothing happened.
I did it again
nothing.
seeing no other alternative I held down the power button until the lights flashed and the phone should have rebooted - instead, it shut off and never turned back on.
I pressed the power button. tried the volume down + power to access the bootloader for an FDR. but the phone still wouldn't power on.
I figured something was up with the battery. I plugged it in for a few minutes but the charging light never came on - it never even blinked.
so I charged it overnight.
the next day, the same thing.
no power, no charging no blinking.
I tried the wall charger, I tried my PC.
that was when I got a ray of hope - my laptop made the USB-connected jingle when I plugged the phone in. so I let if charge, but there was no light
this was when I turned to the forums.
I tried resetting the charging logic - charge for 10 min, unplug, hold down vol+ vol- and power for five minutes
five minutes and three very sore fingers later nothing happened. I tried the same thing holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (super blackout flashlight).
after this, I resigned myself to plugging the phone in for four days. it has been plugged into the wall charger since Tuesday. no red blink, not green light and still not powering on.
i'll also note that when the phone is plugged into a PC it show up in the device manager under the section "ports (com & LPT)" and is called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".
i have also tried to boot the phone manually the ADB but it just says device not connected.
thank you in advane!
From what I know, if a phone is called Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) (or anything with he first three words), then it has a hardbrick or is (sadly) dead... I can't help you, because I don't know how... I never had such a problem [emoji52]
Your phone can go in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode for 2 reasons:
Flashed an incompatible firmware ---> Recoverable
Hardware failure ----> Phone is dead (or will most likely need a new motherboard)
Since it went in this mode itself, then its #2.
