Hi,
Searched the forum and didn't really find anything like the problem I'm experiencing (even though I might be very wrong on this ).
My device is S-OFF, has clockwork recovery etc. And I was using a custom ICS build (namely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424260 )
And earlier today it froze (not super uncommon ). But I had to remove the battery because it was non responsive.
But anyway. Now it's dead!
Nothing happens when I press the power button.
Tried it by removing the battery a couple of times, pushing the button again.
No sound, no buzz, just pitch black screen.
Tried booting into the bootloader with "Vol Down + Power button". Same result here. Just black screen.
Tried connecting it to the PC to boot into bootloader from there. But the PC doesnt even recognize that I have plugged something in
(using dmesg says nothing about a device being connected.. which usually is not so good )
The only sign of "life" I get is when I connect the phone to the charger (or usb cable to the computer) without ever tried booting it with "power button" or "power button + vol down" is that the LED lights up orange.
If I have tried to turn it on it will not light up orange.
I have tried to have it for a few hours (with the light orange) on the charger, then booting it.. But with no luck
I kinda feels like my device has died! I dont really feel it has been bricked? Maybe hardware malfunction? which sucks since my warranty will not be valid because of S-OFF
Anyone have any ideas or tips on what I could possibly try with?
If you were overclocking, the cpu may have overshot. Probably 'hardwear'...
You might take it to a repair facility to diagnose if they can help.
If computer doesn't read it and no boot, nothing you can "do" yourself...
Sounds like brick :what:

Check to see if it responds to any ADB/fastboot commands
cant run any adb commands
Since it's not recognized at all by my computer I cant do any adb commands.
Not list the device, not do fastboot etc.
I still have warranty on the phone, will the repair shop be able to see that I have taken it S-OFF? Or will they most likely just replace the motherboard?
The company I have to leave it to is notorious for being the biggest assholes in the history of this earth
and yeah... I had it overclocked! but only by one step (from oc virtious quattro) or perhaps 2 steps max.
If you cannot see the device on the PC at all, the service centre won't know that you are s-off. If you have a windows install, check in the device manager to see if the phone is detected at all.
Yeah htc has so many repairs they don't have time to mess around dude. They'll try to turn it on, and it won't, so they'll try a fully charged battery and it won't turn on again, they'll throw from anew motherboard in after that and if that doesn't work they'll give you a brand new phone. I'd say you have a 5% chance of them finding out your s-off.

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.

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

My one wont charge or boot. I had it in a pocket in my uniform all day. I only noticed it stop working when I was leaving at the end of the day. I have a black screen and no amount of holding down power or volume keys will do anything. It wont hard reset and I cannot get to the bootloader. I dont get the charging light when I plug it into the computer or charger, however it does get pretty hot as if it is charging. I didnt do any serious software modding to it as I only unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp, and installed ARHD 9.4. Not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the device is "on" but it's locked up with the screen off. When you're holding down the PWR + VOL DOWN button(for at least ~10-15seconds), are you in a brightly lit room or can you shine at light at the sensor? I know it sounds nuts, but there seems to be some safeguard on HTC's part that it will check the light sensor before rebooting in case the buttons get pushed in your pockets.
Alternatively, plug it into your computer and use ADB(or the All in One Toolkit) to issue the "adb reboot recovery" command.

So i tried it in a very lit room but still nothing. I tried adb before but my computer is not even seeing the device. "adb devices" shows nothing and its not a driver issue because I am running linux and I was able to fastboot and adb this device before.
I was thinking the same thing that its kinda frozen. I never thought that not being able to access the battery would be an issue but in this situation it would be extremly helpfull. Maybe all I can do is wait until I am sure the battery is dead and try and charge it and see if the charging light comes on. This really sucks...

I just had this happen to me and I followed these instructions and held it closer to the light and it came back on.
Hey everyone,
So my friend’s HTC One was having some troubles, he said out of no where it got stuck in the ‘TAMPERED’ screen and he didn’t know what to do. Now he definitely didn’t try to root it or anything like that, it is completely stock. So yesterday he gave me the phone so I could take a look at it. The battery was dead when I got it so I plugged it in and got the red notification light to say it’s charging. A little while later I attempted to turn it on, surely enough I was shown the ‘tampered, locked, security warning etc.’ screen. So I wasn’t really sure what to do from there, I tried to see if I could get into the recovery mode but it just seemed to power down. I booted back up and went to the restore factory settings option, it showed me a progress bar for a bit but powered down again. Now it appears to be bricked… When I plug it in I don’t get the red notification light anymore and I’ve tried holding vol down + power again and again to no avail. I also tried the bright light trick.
If anyone has any ideas on what I could try next I would really appreciate any help at all.
Thanks guys.
the tampered screen wont appear out of nowhere, he must have tried a custom recovery, kernel or something.

From a bit of googling around I saw some people that let their phones' batteries die completely flat and were faced with the tampered screen when they turned it on again so I guess this is what happened to my friend. I'm sure he didn't try anything custom.
Here are two examples:

What happens when its plugged the PC. Does it show up at all or does it show QHSUSB_DLOAD. If it does show that, then it is bricked and only a motherboard replacement will bring it back to life. If not then charge the phone for 24 hours. dont mess with it, then holding POWER + VOLDOWN (phone under a bright light,) after about 5 seconds, buttons should start blinking, and after 20 to 30 seconds, phone should reboot or you may at least get into bootloader.
you may need to try 2 or 3 times, to get it to work.

You must have HTC drivers installed anyway. Download and run HTC sync and let it complete. then just uninstall HTC Sync. The drivers will remain.
You must also have adb and fastboot setup on your PC. I take it you are set up for those

Ok so i got the drivers, adb and fastboot installed. I plugged in the phone and in device manager it is showing QHSUSB_DLOAD under other devices. So for sure now this thing needs a motherboard replacement? Have you ever heard of a phone getting bricked from the restore to factory settings option? Seems a bit strange to me.
I just called my friend to double check with him that he didn't try anything custom...he had no idea what I was talking about so it's definitely all stock here. Why on earth would a factory restore cause a brick? Would I be right in saying that HTC should replace this for free...?
There is no factory restore option. Only factory reset.
Keep out plugged in over night and then tomorrow keep trying to power on with a bright light. It should turn up

Hey,
so I was running cm13 (some version from november) and i wanted to go back to zui so i restored a backup that i created when i first got the phone. i booted into twrp, pressed on restore and selected my backup. after waiting for the backup to restore i saw that the process failed. then i pressed on the return to system or whatever button and now my phone wont boot anymore. when i hold power it just vibrates and the notification led flashes once. when i plug it in to charge the notification led doesnt light up. also when connecting it to my pc it is recognized (sound when you plug something in/out) but its not recognized as a phone or storage. what do i do?
Hi,
small question.
Did you do a full wipe?
Please delete system and data partition.
Because you come from cm13 to stock.
Are you able to enter fastboot? Press and hold volume down button and then hold the power button. Alternatively if your phone is off just unplug it and leave it for a few minutes, then whilst holding just the volume down button plug it into your PC and then check with "fastboot devices" in your terminal (I'm assuming that you do have adb and fastboot tools on your phone since you had a custom ROM).
@djsven I just went into twrp and tried to restore my back up not more not less. I cant delete the data and system partition as my device isnt turning on and my pc doesnt recognize the phone as a storage device.
@Uivalf39 by holding volume down and power button i cant enter. all it did was vibrate + led flash. I think its on 0% power now because holding power now just makes the led flash once (no vibration anymore). can you tell me what exactly you mean by "check with "fastboot devices"".
thanks to everyone trying to help

You'll first need to install adb and fastboot tools, as well as drivers for the phone and google utilities. I assume you already have these since you must have unlocked your phone and flashed twrp to install CM13.
Sending the "fastboot devices" command through an adb/fastboot enabled terminal will show you if your phone is fastboot-enabled. Your phone is bricked, the only way to go back to the original software is to follow the guide (available both here and on zukfans), TWRP backup won't work with stock ROMs.
Don't worry though, you should be able to recover it, but it'll be a lot of trial and error.
Have a read through here and here and here, seems like a lot of good troubleshooting material for bricked devices.
Let us know how you get on.

Oh dear, from the stuff I found on Google, it sounds like you'll have to disconnect the battery to force the phone to shut down everything before carrying on.
Check out this thread on zukfans, specifically these comments: [1] [2]
This is the danger of having phones with non-removable batteries. Sounds like you might have to remove the back glass, shouldn't be TOO difficult, looks like it's just glued down without any clasps so you'll need a heat gun (hair dryer should do). Here is a guide on doing that.
If you do end up doing that, would you be willing to film it and upload it to YouTube afterwards? I can't find any video of such a feat and it would be useful for anyone else who needs to do that. Maybe even add some comments of whether there are any clasps, how long you had to heat it up, etc.
In the past I've been successful in unbricking my phones by draining them until the battery protection circuitry wouldn't allow for any more power to be drawn. This would roughly be equivalent to unplugging the battery so it might work for you depending what the phone is currently doing. If the screen comes on then you should be able to drain it, if only your notification light flashes then it's a fool's errand.
NB: The zukfans poster's step 1 was to fully charge your phone as you'll need full battery for the solution. What I described above will probably not work but there's always multiple solutions to every problem and if you're weary of removing the back you can try that, don't hold me on this, but I it shouldn't do any damage.
@Uivalf39
I managed to remove the battery connector. after putting it back in and now im trying to do the sequence i still dont understand because of bad phrasing (hold vol up then hold power then after 0.5s plug usb in? hold vol up hold power for 0.5s after plugging in? idk). all i now get is a slow flashing led when connecting it to anything via usb no matter what i press. i dont even know if its charging

After doing that, what do you have on device manager? Is it still as before with the 900e?
Alright, so from what I understand it goes something like this:
Unplug battery connector
Wait 10-15 seconds with the connector unplugged
Plug back battery connector
Press and HOLD volume up button
Whilst holding volume up press power button and hold it down
After 0.5s of holding power button plug in the usb (connected to the PC) - still keep holding the volume up and power button
Keep holding volume up and power button, and the ZUK logo should pop on the screen and phone should vibrate
Now release buttons and your phone should appear in device manager as port 9008
How did you find removing the glass back? How did you do it and how difficult would you say it was?
@Uivalf39 Im pretty sure im getting the timing right but all i get is a slowly flashing nofication led. no vibration and no logo. also my device doesnt get recognized at all on my pc i cant find it in device manager.
removing the back was pretty easy i just heated the 3 corners (the ones without a camera) on max for like 2 min each with a hair dryer. then i pushed in a plectrum and went around the edges with it.
@mdeoinko That's really strange, maybe we'll need to think a bit outside the box. What version of Windows are you using? Do you have the qualcomm/zuk/google drivers installed properly?
Here's one comment that might be useful.
Also, Francko from zukfans (main ROM guy so I guess he knows his stuff) did some trickery with the USB cable, not entirely sure what it is and how it works, but it looks like it does so you might want to look into this.
I'd say that you should maybe post to zukfans, you'll get more help there.
Godspeed my son!
@Uivalf39 damn i completely forgot about modifieng the cable brb hopefully i can fix it now
@mdeoinko
Hiya, any update? Hoping that your lack of posts means that you solved the issue and no longer need help. If so, could you post here what you did to solve it? Such that anyone else with this issue that comes across this thread might know what works and what doesn't.
Cheers!
