I've tried all of the other fix its to get my Galaxy Tab to work. I've tried charging for 12 hrs via wall charger (no response)... I've tried holding the power button plus home key while tapping on the screen at the same time for over 2 minutes (no response) ... I've even tried putting it into download or recovery mode by holding the power button plus the volume key (up or down) for over 2 or minutes (no response) ...
If you're like me and thought the manufacturer was your only option left, there is one thing left you can try.
All I did was remove the shell and unplugged the battery for 30 mins, plugged it back up and viola!!! I have the battery charging icon. And it now boots perfectly into the OS.
Its worth a shot.... here's a video I watched to learn how to remove the shell.

Note: you will need a tri-wing screw driver to remove the first two screws. I didn't have one and just used a precision flat head screw driver and it worked like a charm if using enough down force so you won't strip the screw.
Hope this helps someone...
Battery removal resets almost everything -- I'm grateful for your confirmation that it works on the Tab, and also for your links to the hammerless teardown.

XDA forums has helped me so much, so I'm glad to return the favor to those that need it!
good find
not had the problem myself, but that info is now in my brain for whenever I do have a problem
Good. Thx man!!!
Many thanks man, this saved my (tablets) life. Switched off my tablet last night after charging, for the first time in weeks, just to refresh everything. Tried switching back on this morning and nothing. I've spent all day trying to find out what the hell was wrong and tried all the various button solutions others have mentioned. Nothing worked. came across your info and links and thought I'd give it a try as I had nothing left to lose, tablet was dead. Voila!...back up and running again. I won't be switching it off again in a hurry. Once again great info and much appreciated.
Nice info, really helpfull, my friend gtab p1000 have some problem, wont turn on, and i found this thread, i just try once, and amazing its working, i hit thanks to you
My have turn off and dont turn on, i wiated 2 days and plugged in wall charger, and they work again.
dead tab
still got no luck...i'm tried of your skill yesterterday n my tab still won't turn on...
thanks for the advice
hai, i saw your posting and thank god it really helpful. i own a p1010 and some how it cant turn on twice!. what ever i do, and what ever tricks available in the internet i had tried it all, all with no success. so the first time around i had to sent it for repair and because my tab's warrant had already ended i had to fork out a lot just to make it running. the repair shop just stated that the battery and the touch screen need to be replace. how stupid of me to fall for that. after that my tab is usable again. then it happend again. two days later the same problem occurred. now i know it is not the hardware but the software that causeing all this headache.
now, with your posting, i opened my tab, disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and walla my tab is ok again. phew...save me a lot of money.
i see that the problem might be in the software. i see that alot of p1010 owners face the same problem here after upgrading from froyo to GB. and i notice that the blank screen syndrome would happen if we put it in a standby mode (my standby mode would be you touch the power button once just to make the screen goes blank).
just my 2cents.

Hi, I got same problem with you guys with my P6800. Tried all those methods (execpt those removing the casing/battery). I followed one tip and it works. Press and hold the power button for 20 second and release it. The screen displayed an image (icon?) of battery and clock. Some said it also work by pressing the button for 10 second.
thanks for the advice guys
holding the power button works
but my question is why is this happening?it wasnt happening before?

guys
does no one know whats causing this? is it a firmware issue? or battery?
for me, this happens every time I use the Netflix app. if I don't go into task manager and clear memory after every use of Netflix, my galaxy tab will not turn back on. sometimes fully charging it will wake up the screen, but that's not helping today so I guess I need to remove the shell even though I don't want to. I miss pocket PC's with soft reset buttons!!!

i have a similar problem my grandson mess up the digitalaizer and i ordered a new one and installed my self. because the tablet been w/o charge for almost a week until i get the new parts and fixed now won't get on, i plug in to charge for 24 hours is showing the 100% battery but still won't start. i look around do different things w/o luck i press the power and the -volune key and nothing, after left ed charging again i unplug the battery for few hours and nothing. i really need help on this. tk's
I upgraded to an HTC One a month ago in T-Mobile and now randomly the phone won't turn on. The phone is rooted, unlocked, custom recovery, and has the Android Revolution ROM. I installed everything the first week I got it and it has been working perfectly fine (No freezes, battery discharging has a good rate) and everything works (Wifi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth). The phone has not been dropped, water damaged, or exposed to any excessive heat, so it should not be having problems.
Yesterday (9/14/13), I was using the phone just fine around 8PM with my friends in a restaurant and everything seemed fine. A few hours later when I was walking down the street, I take my phone out of my pocket and when I hit the power to wake up the phone nothing happened. I pressed the power button for 10-20 seconds and nothing.
When I got back to my room and plugged it in, the LED did not turn on or anything and when I pressed the power button again after being plugged in, nothing happened. I charged it all night and decided to work with it today, but nothing has helped. I have tried holding the power button and volume keys for minutes, holding power button and nothing. When I plug in the phone to the PC it detects it (Windows USB sound in) and when I press the power button for around 15 seconds it makes the sounds but then it makes the removed usb sound.
Since the phone is Rooted, unlocked and has custom recovery and rom, I'm not sure warranty would help, ALTHOUGH since it doesn't turn on and physically is not tampered with, they could get it to at least turn on.
Please help me out here as I am a college student and really need my phone for work and to stay in touch with my parents. Thank you, and I apologize if I didn't follow a posting guideline.
P.S. One of the causes could be a drained battery, but the charging all night should have helped.

Try holding the power button and volume down buttons down, while holding the proximity sensor directly under a very bright light...
This actually happened to me on my first HTC one I couldn't get it to do anything I ended up sending it to HTC I knew they would deny my warranty claim because of the bootloader and ROM but I knew they would have to turn it on yo figure it out. They called me to tell me that it was not covered and said it would cost 215 to put it back to regular I denied and paid the $35 diagnostic fee when I got it back I booted straight into fastboot and flashed my backup.problem solved

This actually sounds like a great, thanks , but before sending it out I think I would like to try other solutions since it would suck to not have my phone for 2-3 weeks. Also, how long did the whole process take for you? (Sending it out, "repair", and getting it back)
This happens to a guy in another thread. He fixed it by leaving it in the wall charge until the red LED turned on, it took 4 days on the charge.
Hey it actually only took about 1week take it back to your carrier have them send it for you. I also heard about leaving it on the charger for a long time I tried over night and it didn't work the next thing I did was send it to "repair" but if you have the patience leave it on change for a few days first

I have a Verizon HTC One exhibiting the exact same symptoms. The battery went dead after a long day and it will not turn on or charge. I have held the proximity sensor in bright light while powering on and while holding both vol up and power. Neither seemed to change the problem. How bright of a light are we talking? Thanks in advance. I am also curious why this works....
Maby i can help^^

Its so that if the phone is in your pocket it won't start up as the proximity sensor detects the phone is in your pocket so tells it not to start up. Sometimes the sensor doesn't work as it should and needs a really intense light to overwhelm the sensor and let the phone start up.

Put it under a desk lamp!
I had the same exact problem. My phone couldn't turn on after it reached 0% and there was no orange light when charging. I put the phone right under my desk lamp and held the power button for 15 seconds and it turned on. Thought people were just trolling... The battery was at 1% when it turned on. I already left the phone in wall charge overnight. Guess it was not charging very well. Thanks for coming up with this solution!
It worked!!!
WOW The light over the sensor worked for me too!! I'm glad I came to this forum first!!:laugh::laugh:
Doesn't work for me
This REALLY sucks I just got this HTC One used and I was using it all yesterday and this morning with no problems. Then all of a sudden a couple hours ago it just shut down - I was just browsing the web, so it wouldn't have overheated.
Now, it won't charge (the LED doesn't come on) although it was at about 50% when it shut down. I can't get into the bootloader or recovery, and ADB doesn't recognize that it's plugged in (despite Windows playing the little jingle indicated it's been connected).
Ever since then I've been scrounging the web for answers, What exactly have you guys done for this light trick to work? Because I've held it under a bright LED and under a desk lamp with a 13W CFL bulb, while holding power + volume down, but haven't had any luck.
How long have you guys held them down for?
I haven't even seen the capactive buttons light up (although it's just kinda hard when you're holding it under a light, so maybe they are flashing I just can't see) and the only sign of life from this is the fact that Windows installed Qualcomm drivers and plays the jingle indicating that it's detected a device.
EDIT: Forgot to include, I've been trying to leave it sit charging (one person mentioned their friends' One worked after leaving it charging for 4 days - I'm not sure I can wait that long, but if I have no other option I will).
Also, should I leave the SIM in or would it not matter (personally, I don't see that making any difference whatsoever, but I really don't care at this point)? And should I alternate light/darkness while holding the buttons under a lamp, or just leave it under the light and hold them? (I've tried all of these things, but I'm willing to pursue whatever avenue had the greatest success rate).

Ya, I tried looking into that before, and there's nothing there. Now I'm trying to find out what/where that Qualcomm driver is that was installed.
EDIT: I DO see it in the Devices/Printers as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3).
I've also installed HTC Synce Manager, but I'm not sure if that just automatically installed the drivers or if there's something I should do to manually install those.

Sorry to hear that. You are hard bricked, send it to warranty.
Edit: The motherboard is fried and HTC would have to change it. The phone is used so contact the seller and ask him for warranty information.

Damn. Really? After just using the phone for a day? Today just really isn't my day.
Would there be any other things I could try? Any jigs to force it to boot into bootloader or anything?

Well, since you're under warranty, doing anything else just doesn't make sense. And using jtag would require you to open the phone, and trust me, you don't wanna do that to this phone.. Just out of curiosity, what are the first 5 digits of your serial no?

Are you sure it was fully charged? Try to reboot it in bootloader (hold power and vol down for couple secs). when in bootloader, select ''fastboot'' then ''power down'' and plug your device to charger. make sure the red led is on and let it charge for a while before attempting to reboot it normally.

Hi
thanks for your reply. I am not sure it was fully charged. It was charging and I took it off and went out. When i took it from my pocket it was behaving like this. Also how do i know if it is powered down? i am sorry of my questions are a bit silly. this is my first time using a HTC. i was a samsung and nokia person before.

Did you root it or install a custom rom? Something might have gone wrong. If you are still on stock, you can still exchange since you got it recently.
since its brand new just take it back and get it exchanged.
Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on here for a while. I have a HTC one that has stopped working. It is flashing the home and back buttons when I try to power it up and the LED light isn't working when I plug it in.
I Have managed to mess around enough with it trying the bright light trick and all combinations of power + volume down/up buttons to try and get it to spring into life. Iv e tried these connected to a charger and connected to the laptop as well.
When I press the volume down button and hold it the LED came on and started to flash, then it became constant red. I've left it charging overnight and its now a constant green so fully charged or so it thinks. Ive since tried the combination of buttons again but when I do the led goes off.
Ive scoured the internet last night for anyone with my similar situation and found a lot of posts but none that match my situation exactly.
When I turn it on normally nothing happens apart from the on sound and the under device manager it says "HTC MTP Device".
I m going to make a quick vid and put it on youtube and add the link in here just in case anyone has been in this situation before and found a remedy.
Before anyone asks I don't know what rom was on it, or if it was unlocked bootloader. I bought it second hand and just started using it. It went off mid day with plenty of battery and it wasn't hot.
Any help would be most appreciated as im running out of ideas fast!. plus my fingers are sore...lol.
Thanks for reading

I don't know what to do now, I'm feeling depressed just by thinking about my problem. Okay, so just to give ya the backstory (nothing big), my phone's battery died when going home to the gym (automatically shut down), didn't think much about it. I got home, after awhile, I plugged in my HTC One into the charger and it wouldn't charge at all!!! :crying: Never happened to me before, I'm running on the latest TWRP, and on the Google Edition rom. Now on to what I did next.
I tried just leaving it on there for a few hours, NOT A PEEP, no LED light, nada just completely dead. Then I plugged it into the laptop USB port, it doesn't recognizes the device but it did install a driver too (forgot what it was called though). And the computer does indeed recognizes the device's existence cuz I hear the computer make that sound when you hook it up to the computer. Also in the the Devices and Printers on Windows 7, it either says Unknown Device or USB Input Device depending on what USB port I hook it up to. And after a few hours charging from the PC, the LED light did come back but only the low battery is dead pulsing (dunno what else to call it lol, its not the solid LED light). And it only does it for a few minutes, goes away then repeats. So does that mean there is some glimmer of hope? I've tried holding the Power button for a minute or 2, nothing. Power button + Vol Up? Nope. Power button + Vol Down? Nope. Do all of those while the LED light is pulsing? Nope. When its completely black? Nope.
So what can I do?! I can't claim warranty because I bought this off Craigslist (plus I'm rooted, so that would be moot anyways), can someone help this depressed as heck man? Its like I'm watching my best friend die slowly. :crying: lol. Sorry if it was a long read, just wanted to put everything in OP, would appreciate the help!

I don't know what to do now, I'm feeling depressed just by thinking about my problem. Okay, so just to give ya the backstory (nothing big), my phone's battery died when going home to the gym (automatically shut down), didn't think much about it. I got home, after awhile, I plugged in my HTC One into the charger and it wouldn't charge at all!!! :crying: Never happened to me before, I'm running on the latest TWRP, and on the Google Edition rom. Now on to what I did next.
I tried just leaving it on there for a few hours, NOT A PEEP, no LED light, nada just completely dead. Then I plugged it into the laptop USB port, it doesn't recognizes the device but it did install a driver too (forgot what it was called though). And the computer does indeed recognizes the device's existence cuz I hear the computer make that sound when you hook it up to the computer. Also in the the Devices and Printers on Windows 7, it either says Unknown Device or USB Input Device depending on what USB port I hook it up to. And after a few hours charging from the PC, the LED light did come back but only the low battery is dead pulsing (dunno what else to call it lol, its not the solid LED light). And it only does it for a few minutes, goes away then repeats. So does that mean there is some glimmer of hope? I've tried holding the Power button for a minute or 2, nothing. Power button + Vol Up? Nope. Power button + Vol Down? Nope. Do all of those while the LED light is pulsing? Nope. When its completely black? Nope.

Thank you for responding. Yeah, I tried those 2 steps, so far no good. I'm just very confused because when I charge the One by my PC, the LED orange light just blinks for awhile then goes away, then the cycle continues, does that mean the battery isn't 100% completely dead? god I'm so confused and sad at the same time lol.
This seems to be happening with TWRP 2.7.x. If you can possibly flash a different recovery you may resurrect your phone...

How can I flash anything when the phone wont wake up? ugh, the only hope I'm getting is that the LED is blinking from time to time, meaning there's at least something going on.
Anyone else?
Anyone? I guess theres nothing else to do huh?
*If* twrp 2.7.0.0 caused your issue (which is hard to say since we don't know which recovery you are using) then somehow you have to overwrite the recovery in fastboot.
The phone needs to be able to boot into HBOOT and then go into fastboot. the battery will have to have enough charge for the recovery flash to succeed.
i honestly don't know the next step for your case, maybe someone else can help.
