[Q] Htc one flashing red light, will not turn on - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Htc one switched off after running out of battery a week ago and now will not turn on. When its on charge the led light at the top would just flash red, I've had it plugged into two different wall chargers for more than a day each but none would do the trick and I've also done all the other things I saw on other threads like shining it under a bright light whilst holding down the volume down and power button ect... , and repeatedly pressing the power button. Also when I connect it to my laptop it makes the noise that I've plugged it in but it will not pick it up :crying: Can someone please help me out here with any methods/ways of getting my phone to switch on and connect to my laptop (my phone is rooted and I can't send it back)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Brand new Nexus One can't be powered on

I have a brand new Nexus One bought on last year April. For some reason it wasn't to be used. Yesterday, I got it out of the package and charged it for ready to be powered on. Unfortunately, it reacted nothing as I pressed the power button! I took out the battery and put it into other Nexus One, it showed the battery was 100% charged.
I took back the battery and repacked it to this new Nexus One. I tried to press the power button more and more with data cable connected pc. Nothing happened. Just one time, the sceen lighted on and the "X" in four colors appeared! I didn't know why it was powered on. Maybe I pressed the trackball or volume up/down buttons, God know it.
The X sceen lasted almost for ten minutes and then sceen was off! Yes. It shutdown! I can't power it on anymore!
It seemed the hardware was OK. It may be the locked by the outdate android system. The android prestored in this phone is version 2.1.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
Can u you go in fastboot? Press power button+trackball..if so then you can recover your phone by unlocking bootloader and falshing custom recovery.
Sadly, It can't be power on and go in fastboot by pressing trackball+power button.
Any more advice?
Check the battery terminals just to make sure they're not dirty.. Sadly, you MUST be able to at least be able to boot something (hboot/fastboot) in order to troubleshoot anything software related. Sounds like you've got a hardware issue that could be one of (literally) a million things.
Sell it on EBay for parts. You can probably get $50-$60
you could try pressing pwr/vol-/trackball all at same time, hold down for around 30 seconds to make sure
commonly known as 3 finger salute
try power on without sdcard by manual methods and plugging in and plugging in with no battery
I have seen a video on YouTube on how to fix the power button which is known for messing up and how to turn it on. Search YouTube
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
is it that the power button is not working? that would be weird for a new phone though.
have you tried to turn it on using the "jump start" method?
connect the cable. led the charging led come on. remove the battery, wait for the led to go off (while cable is still connected) then pop the battery back in.
see if you can get it to start that way
When you plug charger cable in your Nexus, does the orange or green LED go on?
If one of them does and stays (green for full battery, orange otherwise) - then your problem is most likely the power button. It may not be the only problem, but at least the one that's stopping you from turning on your phone. You can try "jumpstarting" it by inserting battery while charger is connected.
If you don't see LEDs when plugged in - your phone is done.
If you see blinking LEDs - battery terminals might need cleaning/fixing, it usually happens when the battery is out of the phone.

[Q] Daily lock up while charging

Hello,
I am currently using an ATT branded 64 GB HTC One. The Phone is locked and stock except for a few play applications I've downloaded
Nearly every day that I connect the phone to the charger for an extended period of time I will come back to it and it will be frozen, the notification LED will be solid just like its charging normally but the screen will not wake, when the phone is disconnected from the charger the LED stays solid red as if it was still plugged in. At this point I will hold the power button until the phone powers off (or at least seems to, the screen backlight is not on and the LED goes black) and then hold the power button again and it will boot. The more serious problem I've been running in to is after powering down the phone down sometimes it will not power back on again regardless of how long I hold the power button for (I haven't gone over 1:30 of holding the button often but I have tried it). The phone seems dead for either a few minutes or a few hours. Here are some other observations I've made...
- I've had the phone "lock up" on 3 different chargers, HTC bundled charger, generic USB, and the one bundled with my Nexus 4.
- I've thought maybe the phone isn't charging while I am away and when the phone will not wake up maybe it is completely dead so I've hooked it up for about ~15-60 minutes and tried powering the phone up on the above 3 chargers, a Lumia 920 charger, car charger, and charging off computers USB port. None of these seem to have any affect on waking the phone up.
- The time between powering off and when it will power back on seems to be getting longer? I am currently with the dead One, it died about 12 hours ago before bed, tried to power it on last night and again this morning after leaving it on the charger. The closest to powering on that I got was the screen flashed white for a millisecond. Tried to power it back on many times this morning and no go.
- The phone hasn't frozen away from home, but I've only charge it from USB from my PC at work.
Right now I am leaning toward contacting ATT to see if I can arrange an exchange, I'm out of ideas at this point.

[Q] Xperia Z led indication, water recovery operation

Hi guys,
I think I have a new Xperia Z situation to report:
After getting water into the USB port and spending a few days drying out the phone, I now get symptoms cannot find in any other XDA thread:
- When I hold volume button UP while connecting the USB port, it quickly flashes RED and then stays BLUE, also after releasing the volume button. When I disconnect the cable the LED light goes off again
- When I just connect the USB without holding any button, the LED goes RED.
- While the LED is RED, I can hold the power + volume UP buttons simultaneously and then release the power button to change to BLUE.
But regardless what I do there are no life signs in Flashtool
Other symptoms:
In the cradle, the LED has gone from RED to ORANGE to GREEN, indicating full charge. But when connecting the charger directly to the USB port it just flashes 1x RED and 1x GREEN sub-second before it goes off. So it seems it doesn't charge through the USB port but only through the cradle.
The phone is turned off and does not react to the power button. Have pressed power, and power + volume up button, but without the usual vibration responsiveness.
I have tried to connect to the phone using Flashtool. Following tips from other threads I've tried both latest version & Beta 4, Multiple USB ports, etc.
But the phone never gets identified through the USB port.
The phone should be 100% dry now after multi-day rice bag + cold air hair dryer treatments. But I'm afraid I might have I tried to force it back on too early, perhaps before all water was out...
Still with the LED indicator showing a little sign of life, would you say there's a chance to rescue it?
All ideas and advice much appreciated.

The water might of caused a short circuit somewhere in the phone which has caused the bugs so drying it might not repair the damage, how long has the phone been dry for? Hopefully some1 has had the same issues and solved it somehow.

My HTC one M8 won't turn on.Need urgent help!!!

Hey guys! My HTC One won't turn on. My phone was on 17% when i connected it to charger.After sometime i checked my phone to make sure it was charging and everything was alright my phone charged to 37% when I last checked. After 2:30 hours i checked my phone and it was showing charging LED but wasn't on.I tried to turn it on but it didn't turn on. Also no when i connect my phone to charger it won't show charging LED. I tried Volume up,down and power button method, and i also tried volume up and power button under a bright light. It just won't turn on. I connected my phone to my PC. Its only show a QHSUSB_BULK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: Its a rooted Sprint HTC one m8.
How long did you hold down the power & volume buttons for? Did you hold all three buttons down at the same time?
Also, what ROM & firmware were you on? Or were you stock rooted? How long have you had the phone, and was it new or used when you bought it?
I had a similar problem a few years ago. My phone screen would turn off on its own. I would then have to restart it Finally I noticed that the Orange charge LED would not show when plugged in to a power source. When plugged in to a source the Orange LED showed for a moment, then turned off. Once dead, I could not charge it to restart. Sent to HTC and they said the motherboard died. Initially charged me 300 dollars, but I told them it was better for me to buy a Nexus at that price. They lowered it to 150 dollars and I got it repaired. Now days, again I am noticing the screen going dark on its own, but it is difficult to enable the screen by clicking the power button. The phone is on, but just dark screen. Currently I am rooted and S-On with Stock ROM.

Connect your phone to 2-2.5 amp WALL charger(original or another OEM original, original chargers are sold only in brand shops), and cheap cables most of the time don't work either.
wait 15-20 minutes and hold power button + vol up + vol down for 30 seconds.
Same thing happened with me but I was in recovery on low battery(while plugged in). You will also lose simlock if you are international user.
Check the screenshot in this thread, if you have the same thing showing on Windows Device Manager then it's most definitely a flat battery.

Xperia T2 dual D5322 is not switching on

Hi Team,
My phone ran into sudden death and not coming back on. The battery was more than 40%. I tried many solutions like hard booting(holding power button + volume up), keeping it on charging for hours. But none worked.
When I connect my phone to the wall charger the red LED comes up. I read one solution where I need to connect the phone to charger and then try to hard boot it. But that only makes red LED blinks once. The phone didn't got on.
Can you please help?
Thanks
