Last night I was watching youtube and my phone got really hot. It was really late so I just turned it off and went to bed. Today I woke up and my phone wouldn't turn on, it had almost a full charge when I turned it off. I plugged it in and there is no LED light(it's been plugged in for about 7 hours).I've tried holding power and volume down for a full minute and I've also tried turning it on while shining a bright light on it. Nothing happened. My phone seems to have a little heat(I think because its been plugged in for 7 hours) so I think the battery is getting power. I've had the phone for about 3 months now and it has been working fine but it is rooted so I don't think I could get much support from verizon/htc
I have no idea what to do
It's probably a mainboard problem. Take it to Verizon, tell them the story (minus the rooting) and hopefully they wont be able to tell if you unlocked it's bootloader or not.

if they were to send my a new phone i would be required to send them my broken one
since it's rooted I would have to pay for the new device($200)

If it doesn't turn on, how are they supposed to check if its rooted or not.

what I'm worried about is the red text that would appear while turning on my phone
something along the lines of "do not distribute...legal actions may be taken", i think it had to do with being s-off
if some how they managed to turn on the phone, i don't want them seeing that

To start i have no experience with "bricked" phones and could only assume to identify one if it just didnt work, so i could be way off here. I met a fellow who owns a Nexus One and he is trying to sell it as it no longer works. He tells me that he was preforming a firmware update, the phone "crashed" so he yanked the battery and since then he is unable to power it up. Im looking for more specifics on this to see exactly what is happening when he tries to power on. Given this info is it likely that his phone is bricked, and if so is there any way to fix it? Im inclined to think no, but would appre iate the opinions of others just like to make sure as he has offered it to me for next to nil. Thanks for any help.

If he pulled the battery while flashing a radio image update, it is likely bricked.... but a bricked phone should power on to the static X initial boot image, and would stay there indefinitely.
Sounds like something else might be going on (battery dead/malfunctioning?), but I don't think it's officially "bricked" as much as "broken"
If it can't power on, I don't think there's any good in it

Power buttons have been known to fail on a number of Nexus Ones.... maybe it's a case that the button is broke...
Think if you pull the batt while usb powered and put batt back in it will power on...
Thanks for the speedy replies. Ill wait for further info from the guy to see exactly what is happening and post again if its significant. Thanks again

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...

Looks like my HTC One is bricked.
What pisses me off is I didnt do modify anything except S-OFF couple of weeks ago before the 4.2.2 update.
All stock.
Was about to turn off my AC with the One, and it just would turn on.
Charging light is off, connecting it to PC shows its identified as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Seems like it's qualcomm download mode. No ADB no Fastboot, no nothing.
No idea what happened to it.
QPST software detects it is in Qualcomm download mode, and probably allows flashing a new boot image and phone image. Any idea how to push the boot image to the phone using QPST?
Thanks,

If it's a dead emmc chip then I reckon you will still be covered by warranty if it's a corrupted hboot and you send it back I guess it's down to HTC to decide but whatever happens I hope you get your phone back up and running soon.

Well indeed a dead emmc chip there is nothing I can do. Also, I did not unlock the bootloader and it's not tampered, so I suppose they should also cover it. The only thing is I bought it off Amazon France, and live in Israel, so the warranty procedure will be a pain in the a**.
If you can't turn it on neither can HTC...
Warranty should be fine. If it broke after running OK without you doing anything it's most likely emmc
I assume you have tried
1) holding power button down for 10 to 20 secs (whilst shining s bright light on phone - seriously)
2) immediately after step 1 then hold down power button whilst holding volume down button.
This is worth trying to ensure it won't boot into boot loader

The bright light trick works, something to do with the sensors. Worth a shot anyways.
Also, if you bought from Amazon, why not just return it to them as defective and get a full refund? They have a great return policy, and you won't have to worry about HTC warranty at all. Just a thought.

That's from the US site. Sounds like the window is 30 days for most items, but I think I read that for electronics, it's 90 days. It says you can go to your order and click on returns and it will give you the status. Also, says even after 30 days for normal items, they will refund 80%. Worth checking out anyways.

Well, lucky you suggested that. First I found out the phone im using was from Amazon.de and not Amazon.fr (I ordered from both, kept the first to arrive and sold the second). Amazon.de seems to have a much better return policy and I can still probably return it if I understand correctly with my poor German and Google Translate.
The only bummer is that I wont get back the taxes paid (We have 35% tax on cellphones). But if I have a problem with HTC warranty (Although probably shouldnt have), I'll just return it to Amazon.

My Verizon LG G2 was rooted and was trying to install CWM. Was booting into recovery through CWM App and now phone will not turn on at all. Just vibrates when I hit the power button. Any help please?
The Loki patch is not a bootloader unlock you cannot install cwm through ROM manager you have to use an app called freegee once the screen is not turning on I don't think its fixable I may be wrong but it sounds like its really bricked

there has to be some sort of a fix... I downloaded freegee, then installed TWRP, rebooted it, and now it wont turn on, is NOT recognized by my computer, and wont even load the logo after i hold the power + Vol. Down. if I hold them for a while, red LED will show until I let go of them.
Same thing happened to me today. Cant get it to come on at all.

Is there any news on this? I have tried everything to get the g2 to fire back up but no luck. When charging the led blinks red. When attempting to turn it on the phone vibrates every 2 seconds. I think I am just going to get a replacement. Anyone have any advice?
On a separate note, I have no idea why this happened. I clean wiped, installed a rom, rebooted all from recovery and the phone never booted into anything. I wasn't even a slight bit worried because I know I did this correctly.
I appreciate it, thanks.

Just get a replacement. tell them that it wont turn on. DO NOT tell them that you rooted it. hahaha
Just had this happen to me.
It's probably dead.
Plug it in and give it some time to charge.
I finally got into recovery mode and was able to restore a ROM (bad flash and was stuck at the LG logo)
Freegee has been bricking devices since its conception. I'm surprised people are still trying to use it.
If anyone reads this before trying to use it, I would suggest not to.
I've used flashify once and it worked fine, but it's really best to push it via adb. Don't know how? Google is your friend. Or the search function on these forums. There's full guides on how to push a recovery on the g2.
Taking the easy way is normally never the best way.

No download mode, no recovery. The stupid LED wouldn't even light up. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to get my old phone back. A guy found me on craigslist and texted me asking me to unlock his model LS980 for T-Mobile, and in turn he would trade me the VS980 for a Droid Ultra. And like I said, I obliged and thought I could fix it, without doing my research first. Well like I said, I was fortunate enough that he traded me back today. Now I have another swap set up with a guy tomorrow, to trade my Ultra for his LS980. But this one has issues too. For some reason it has no sound at all, unless you use a Bluetooth.

I am pretty sure that LG has a 1 year warranty and they would've replaced it for you for free. I went to Verizon and they sent me a new one right away but a while back I had upgraded my old droid 1 before the 1 year period ended and I bricked it just messing around. Motorola replaced it with a refurb and I never even went to Verizon. I just had to pay shipping. Maybe you should try the same thing. Just send a couple emails back and forth with LG customer support and see what happens. Good luck.
Add me to the brick list

Mine did the same thing this morning, although it has been fine for 2 months since root+xposed+freegee (for TWRP).
But if I send it back for warranty replacement, will they be able to see it has been rooted if it won't turn on? I love the phone, but really don't want to be billed full price for a new one.
The phone is my mums, never rooted never unlocked just 100% stock. She was playing candy crush or something when it crashed. It never came back on no matter how much it was charged. Not detected by pc either, sent to a repair shop and they couldn't get anything to work. Can't send to Sony because the backs been opened now so I really don't know what to do
This happened before once too and that time a long charge (about 10 hours perhaps) fixed it
This time, when connected to charger the red LED appears for almost exactly half a minute then dies out and doesn't come back

seems like the battery gave up, change the battery and it should work

You say the phone was completely stock so it couldnt have been a software error, either a hardware piece of the phone is malfuctioning or the phone died

trying to fix it will cost more than buying a new one because you will have to buy every hardware piece and try one at a time or as a last resort you could try flashtool (but it will need debugging activated)

My mums already bought a new phone I was just curious

yep its dead nothing you can do, though you could try selling the touchscreen( they are quite expensive) or any other fuctioning part
