HELP, My phone refuses to boot up.

It started as soon as I received a phone call from my brother and we were in the middle of a conversation when the phone suddenly goes off. I tried to restart it, I even removed the battery and replaced it but when I press the power button I get the initial boot sequence showing the htc logo and then the phone would just go of. I thought that maybe the battery is low but when I plug it to a power outlet it keeps trying to boot but keeps switching off and it just does this over and over.
Please I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before, I really don't know what to do.

Try a Hard Reset using the device buttons:
1. With the phone off. If it’s frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.
Hope this helps!

Well I just did that but the problem persist. I should note that occasionally it does complete its boot up and I can use the phone but it can go off at any time and once it does this, i cannot get it to completely boot up. Once it attempts a boot up and goes off I cannot even restart it by pressing the power button until I replace the battery or plug it into a power socket or the computer at which point it will just keep booting up and shutting down.

Something far wrong there. Get a replacement device.

Hi, I have got the same problem on my HD7 and I am completely noob to many new words Goldcard, jailbroken, etc. Would you please advise me exactly what you did (i mean flahing procedure) and really appriciate any help.

Well if you have got an O2 HD7, then I would advise you to get one of the O2 ROMS from ansar, download it then press and hold the volume down button when booting up your device, connect the phone to your pc and start the app. More instructions in the HD7 development thread.

There's nothing wrong the phone. Don't hard reset or flash it. It happens from time to time, just give it some time and eventually you will see a battery icon appear. Then after awhile it will boot up.
Again, do not flash or hard reset just be patient. I believe it just needs to drain all the way down as it doesn't have enough power to fully boot.

Not booting up
Hi,
My T Mobile hd7 is been restarting after it shows the htc logo..It was all of a sudden after i connected to my pc this happened ...Tried to flash it with ansar tmobile update..problem persists...Dont knw how to use goldcard..please help me out..
Thank u and Best Regards

[Q] Stuck in aroma, holding power for 15+ seconds doesn't work

Was attempting to install busybox through recovery ( from here).
The installer is based on aroma I believe and it froze during install. I see this is a common issue. Regardless, I was going to reattempt the install but I cannot get the phone to reboot. From what I've read, holding the power button for 15+ seconds should do a hard reboot. The capacitive button lights start blinking like they should but no matter how long I hold power, the phone won't reboot.
Do I need to wait for the battery to completely drain or should there be another way to force it out of this state?
Thanks

If it's plugged in unplug it, and make sure you're only holding power and not any other key until it reboots
Keep trying

You are the second person another user yesterday was stuck at the white htc boot screen and could not get it to power down or reset. Wonder if there is some kind of issue here

Thanks. It isn't plugged in. Been trying this for about an hour now, sometimes holding power for over 2 minutes. The lights keep blinking as long as I hold the button. They stop after I release it.
Looks like I'll have to play the waiting game

Yep. Just checked on the person from yesterday and after it died he was able to get into recovery and then fix it. So it's something weird
Here is the thread not much info though but he had to let it die
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247888
Also it resets around the 15 blink of the capacitive buttons so if it's blinking 30 times something is not right wait for it to die

Thanks for the link, didn't spot that one. I guess I'm having the same issue. I don't mind having a non-removable battery but it's unfortunate in this case. The screen is staying on so I hope the battery runs out earlier rather than later.

Try to push the Button several times and then hold it, or hold Power +vlm down ans release ans push vol again.. helped me many times i think... :thumbup: dont give up..

I tried just about every combination but nothing worked. On a positive note, the battery died and I was able to boot normally once again. No issues since.

Next time press and hold both volume up, down and the power button

I'm pretty sure I tried that because I read it somewhere else but if it does happen again, I'll make sure to double check.

Oh ok..I just know thats what used on my One X and someone here said that it worked on the One as well.
When I got stuck in Aroma while installing Android Revolution, I just held the power button for awhile and it rebooted itself

Well, another one to add. Stuck in Aroma, and Hard combinations doesn't work. TRIED ALL OF THEM.
Was stressing over, plugged the phone in, launched the ALL-IN-ONE, clicked the reboot command.
I thought the Hard button combination was hardware : that is now proven wrong. Ugh.

Adb reboot always works. Had to do it twice already to get out of aroma.
Hard combinations only work sometimes sadly.

Doesn't work for me, it used to but since I've been trying to install Trickdroid 5.3.0 nothing works for me so I have to let the battery die, very irritating.

thanks for advice also had this issue and solved

I know it sounds weird, but there's reports that shining at light at the sensors and/or working in a very bright room seems to help with the soft reset procedure. I have no idea why and it sounded like coincidence to me, but what do you have to lose? lol

I also faced the hanging aroma problem and holdon the power button for a long period of time (15 seconds) worjed for me the firs time i tried, the second time it bad some problems, but i kept pressing the power button.for 15 seconds and it finally turned off.
Hoep this helps.

I tried everything what was mentioned here, the only thing that I haven't done was pressing the power button in bright light conditions, so that was the last thing that I could try. I can confirm, it's working

Htc won't restart

my Htc one don't want to turn off or restart anymore. No matter how long i hold the power button or power button and volume down and even power button and volume up. All it does is blink the bottom light forever and nothing happens anymore. Have anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it ?

hold it in front of bright light

Got this problem yesterday.
The solution was
hold the device into bright light and press vol-down and power. and it really works

So you don't restart it in your pocket like I used to do daily with my One X.

[Q] Phone won't turn on, red charging LED stays on, hardware buttons lit

Hey guys,
I left my HTC One to charge and when I tried to unlock it, it wouldn't respond. Right now it's a blank screen, the red LED is on even when I unplug the phone, and the hardware buttons are lit. I've tried to restart the phone by holding the power, holding power + volume down, but nothing is working. Device isn't showing up under adb or fastboot devices. What is going on? How can I fix this?
Help me out. Thanks!
-Coby
Edit: Recently this has been happening to my phone frequently, but I am usually able to get it to restart doing the methods said above. This is the first time I can't get it to do anything.

Put it under a stronger light and longpress power + vol-
Try this

I was actually searching through old threads and found that same answer and tried it. I can't believe it worked! Thanks! Why does this happen though? And will this hopefully prevent it from happening later on?

Are you rooted with a custom rom?
However, idk why it happened

Why the stronger light? Im confused! :cyclops:

This has worked for me a ton of times too, I guess it must just trigger something with the light sensor the phone has and wakes it up.

It happened to me when i was rooted and used CWM.
It happened everytime i let the battery run down completely.
I havent rooted my replacement yet and when i let it run down, charged it for ten minutes and it booted straight up.
Seems to be an issue with the phone reading the charge state of the safety circuit in the phone. Mere speculation but i havent heard of it happening to anyone who wasnt rooted with custom recovery....

Can you please give me a little bit more details?
I have exact the same issue: The battery ran out completely, then I can't charge it or turn it on.
I have tried
1. with charger connect to outlet, power + vol-
2. with charger connect to PC, power + vol-
3. under desk light, without charger connected, power + vol-
Nothing worked for me.
Some questions:
- Should I connect the cable when I attempt to turn on the phone?
- Is normal desk fluorescent light "bright enough"?
- Should I move the phone under the light first then press the button, or the other way around?
Thank you for your help!

i have the same problem in my htc eye. i tried your solution. but it won't worked for me. phone still on blank screen and red light is on. how can i fix it?????

My One keep restarting and stuck at HTC screen

Hey guys,
So I have had my One more than a year, never root, never install any mod in it, just simple, daily use. It worked well till last night when some weird thing happened:
- At first, the Back, Home and HTC buttons keep flashing along with the screen. When I unlock my screen pass lock and go to the home screen, it showed a notification like "To restart the phone, keep pushing the power button for (x) second" with x is the count down number. After that, the phone is automatically rebooting, then the problem happen again.
- After a few times, I manage to shut it down properly then turn the phone up. As I notice, as long as I doing something with the phone such as calling somebody or checking facebook or simply sliding the home screen, thing is normal. But as I stopped using it, that weird notification pop up again
- The phone keep restarting after that, again and again. Sometime it boot successful, but when Im go to the home screen, the notification shows up and my phone restarts again. As I couldnt turn off my phone, it is drained and out of battery.
- This morning, I put the cable in and try to charge it, and My One now stuck at the first HTC logo screen then restarting and then stuck again. That looping process is drive me crazy. As I try to pull out the cable, the phone is not working (Obviously) since it is out of battery.
- As I hold down Power and Volume down, I can enter bootloader screen. I saw a "locked" banner and cannot navigate through the menu and can not press Fastboot or anything. After 2-3 seconds, the phone is shut down and keep looping.
Long story shot, can anybody tell me how to fix this. As I have a lot of pictures that havent been backed up, I really appreciate if I can keep everything without doing a factory reset. Oddly enough, I cant even do a factory reset since the bootloader is not working.
Please help.

Have you tried a factory reset?
On boot, bottom down n power will take u to fastboot.
You can do a factory reset from there.
HTC sync can save your stuff.

As I mentioned above, I can hardly do anything from that fastboot screen. Up, down and power button is not working as I cannot navigate to recovery or factory reset. Even pushing power button wont do.
When I connect the phone to PC, nothing happen. It is because the phone is out of battery i suppose?
The problem is when I start to charge the phone, it will keep looping. But if I dont, the phone is death and I cant do anything.

I honestly dont know. I suspect you have
Fast boot selected under Settings>power.
You've got to try till you can get into fastboot otherwise send it for repairs.

Because this is exactly the message we usually get when holding the power button for more then 5 sec...
and that would explain the reboot issue
looks like the "power" key is always active
definitively sounds like an hardware issue imo
and your issue is even present in bootloader what confirm that this is an hardware defect.
