Bricked?

This morning i woke up, and my touchpad wont boot. It was on the charger all night.
The most i can get is 1 of 2 states
1.) Battery icon with a question mark
2.) Home/Center button has an alternating light going left and right
Ive tried Power + Home, and thats how i get between the two states, though its sorta random which one i end up in.
I cant get to USB/Download mode(Power vol up)
Is there anything else I can try?

I know you said you can't get into USB/Download but I'm not sure which method you've tried. Are you trying to hit vol up just after powering the device on? I've had better luck with turning it off completely, holding vol up, then connecting the USB cable from the computer.
Also, there seem to be several threads in the Q&A section with the same or similar problem. Have you read through those and tried any of those methods?

I have tried that. Ive googled as much as i can and i cant find what the "alternating left and right lights on the home button" mean. Turns out our home button is 2 LED's.
I havent found a success story related to the battery Icon question mark.
Heres a pic:

Does your pc see the tp if you connect it? If the home/center button is flashing it means you have power, so all is not lost (yet, at least). Did you have it charging on the wall charger or the touchstone. If the touchstone, try leaving it charging on the wall charger overnight. I hope this helps.

Yea, my fear is that since i couldnt power it on, i couldnt remove CM
Its gonna be pretty obvious once its fixed thats it there lol. If they try that **** with me, I wont be paying htem anything, i considered the TP dead, the warranty is a last resort.
What was wrong with your TP?

[Q] This phone is making me nuttier than squirrel **** :(

ATTN MODS: if this was posted into wrong place please move it and please don't ban me?
Hey,
So I have had this phone for about 16 months. I have always loved it. It wasn't rooted or anything like that but I started having issues with it,
Such as, not being able to end a call, pick up, random reboots.
The phone will not power on at all it does however show the battery being charged at 100% when I plug in adapter.
I also cannot get my PC to recognize it, have tried on multiple computers.
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
XDAn00b
PS
This my work and business cell so I need it up and running asap even if cost me a few dollars.
I have over 1000 documents/payroll/emails and highly sensitive info
So if you could help there would most certainly be compensated for your time. I don't even care if you remote into my PC. I just really need this or I will lose my job.

I am assuming you tried to pull the battery and wait and put it back again

Hi Cazey.
Take the battery out, replace it, hold volume down and power on. That should take you to the bootloader, a white screen with a few options on it, and probably 'locked' at the top if you haven't played around with custom ROMs yet.
If you can get that far, try selecting 'recovery' and doing a factory reset through there. Note you'll probably lose all the data on your internal memory. This is a bit of a last-ditch effort, so try any other suggestions first. I'm a PM away if you need anything further.

No...
If its locked its got HTC update recovery...
Maybe find the ruu and return it to stock for real...
Otherwise its a hardware issue...

I have also done this and it says the device is not recognized

OK...
Do you have an SD card... pull it out...
Remove and replace your sim card...
Maybe push on behind the sim card on the plastic...
Flex the phone a little length wise... A LITTLE
Then try again

[Q] HTC One, won't turn on..

To preface this, the phone is completely stock and unlocked. I've been using the phone now for about 3 weeks with absolutely zero problems. I plug it in to charge over night, wake up the next morning and it's completely unresponsive.
Won't turn on.
No LED notification light (Green or Amber)
Isn't recognised by my laptop as a disc drive either.
Any ideas, tips or suggestions as to how I can get it working again, short of calling the supplier and getting a replacement?
Thank guys.

With adb or fastboot you pc will recognize your phone?

It might do but I have no idea how to do it.

Mine just did the same thing today, it discharged very quickly this morning and now it won't even charge at all. Not sure what to do....

My god. This has also happened to me. A few others have also had this problem. Contact HTC and file for a repair/replacement. I did today. Seriously sucks because its a solid phone otherwise.

This is a worrying trend.. So there are no other alternatives just request a repair/replacement?

It really is. I've already contacted my brother, whom is pretty high up in att, about the matter. I'd consider myself a veteran of android and I have had no progress on the fix, it seems only to be hardware. In layman terms, yes you'll have to get it replaced.

How long would the repair take? And would they send you a replacement first, because now I have no phone.....

I'd say about 2 weeks at most. But no, they'll repair or replace the phone depending on the issue. Likely replace.

Only asking because I have never had an issue like this with any of my phones.

drop ship
When speaking to the HTC rep., try tossing around the phrase "can you drop ship a replacement phone?" Ask for a manager if its existence is denied. Once you find someone with enough power to "drop ship" the replacement phone, they'll take your credit card, then immediately send you the replacement phone and a box to ship back the defective phone. If you don't return the bad device, they'll charge your card.

happened to me twice - try holding power button for like 1min - it should turn on then

I opened a thread about this problem, but seems only some people have this defect.

I've had this problem too, it's currently with HTC (UK) to repair or replace. It arrived on Tuesday, still awaiting to hear back.

If I hold down the power button it turns on....it happens when u charge and turn it on while stll plugged into the charger...happened to all 3 of my ones..this is a software thing nothing wrong with phone imo just don't turn phone on after full charge while plugged in

It seems that my phone isn't dead after all. Holding the power button down does seem to work... It's a strange bug..

I don't get why people turn the phone OFF in the first place? I never turn my phone OFF at all. I sometimes restart the phone but that is it.

Hi.
I have a HTC One silver 32GB from 8th April (Germany o2)
I unlocked Bootloader.
Rercovery on it.
Did backup of phone.
Flashed Trickdroid.
Deleted it and restored backup.
Thats what I did on begin of may.
Then after 2 weeks...
Was playing Real racing 3. Phone is as always hot. Battery must be like 50%
I put it on charger for 20 mins.
When I pull charger off. LED goes off as usual but phone does nothing anymore.
Can't enter bootloader. Can't start. Can't Soft reset. Nothing works. Booting to Bootloader via One-All-In-OIne Kit and USB Cable doesn't work since it can't detect phone.
Stupid company said that unlocking Bootloader voids warranty so..
What can I do? I will try to stop contract because there are European rules that in first 6 month they gotta do everything.
Ty for ur help.
EDIT: The repairing company did send me a pic of bootloader. Btw HOW did they get there?

If your phone won't turn on then how are they going to know it's been unlocked? Just send it back to them
R u in the UK?
PS: Just noticed your in Germany.

I can verify that the light trick works. Someone else on here said its because HTC wanted to prevent somebody from hitting those two buttons in their pocket and resetting the phone. So they make the phone be in a bright light in order for you to reset the phone in that manner

Outdoor light did not work for me. I had to hold the phone directly above a light bulb. As soon as I did that it booted right up and has been fine ever since. It went into the shut down mode you described as I was copying files to a USB drive via an OTG Cable.

Got the same issue... Light doesn't work (Tryed LED Flashlight normal Bulb or Halogen....) Last Try could be light from my car...

Where did you send Phone to reapir ?

Can't turn screen on after I turn it off?

So if I'm on any other rom other than Stock I can't turn the screen back on once I turn the screen off.

Your post makes no sense when you lock the phone the screen is supposed to turn off when locked...

It makes perfect sense.
If I'm running stock I can turn the screen on and off. If i'm not on stock. The screen will turn on when I turn the phone on but when I turn the screen off, I cannot turn the screen back on again even though the phone is on.
I've tried re-installing the Roms and tried all the clean wipes and stuff and installs and I can't get the screen to turn on when I actually try to turn it on.
Looks like I just have to use stock rom then -_-

Try pulling the battery. It helps me on my EVO 4g that really old.
