My attempt to root my stock Jelly Bean Droid 4 two night was inadvertently interrupted (cable was accidentally disconnected mid-process) and now I can't get it to do anything. It won't charge or boot into any mode at all.
I ordered a factory adapter from Team Black Hat, which arrived today (California to NY in two days, not bad USPS). I attached the adaptr, plugged it into my phone, and then connected it to my computer using the USB cable that came with the phone. Nothing happened. I left it a few minutes, and then tried the power button and the power + volume to try and get it into recovery mode. Still nothing. I've also tried a few different cables, to the same result.
When I remove the adapter and just plug in the cable, the green LED turns on and stays on, but only when connected to my PC. Plugging into the wall charger does nothing.
Have a missed a step some place or is my phone completely knackered?
Just rooting shouldn't have bricked it, what was the method you were using, file name?

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.
Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.
Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.
Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.
Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it

My HTC One had a full discharge a couple days ago.When I got home to plug it in, it showed a blinking red LED and the battery charging animation, but didn't charge at all over a full day. I tried rebooting while still plugged in to the wall charger, which took me to the OS. From the OS I could do anything -- text,call, use Chrome, etc -- but the battery symbol had an exclamation point and the LED was still blinking red. As soon as I took it off the charger, it turned off.
I have tried Power + Volume Down, Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, and the bright light methods.
I was able to restore the phone to a previous backup from TWRP while plugged in, but the problem continues.
Any suggestions?

Try connecting the phone to your computer's USB port. If it charges there, then your charger is bad. You can check to see if is charging by going to Settings -> Power on the phone. If you are using the cable from your charger to connect to the computer and it isn't charging then try another cable. It that works, it may just be the cable that is bad and the rest of the charger is OK.

I have tried multiple cables, including the HTC stock cable and charger. When I plugged the phone into my computer, it did not show the blinking red LED and did not power up. The phone was basically unresponsive. I assume this is from lower amperage from the laptop's USB ports, but could be wrong. The laptop was also plugged into its charger at the time.

The battery is severely discharged. Since, it will not charge via the charger or the computer it looks to be a phone hardware issue. You probably need to take it back to your dealer for servicing. Before you do that, give the connection to the laptop one more go except leave it on the for about an hour or two undisturbed. When batteries are severely discharged, it takes a while for it to recharge enough to give any indication of life.
I ended up sending the phone to HTC. I had modified the kernel and OS, but figured it was worth a shot since the phone was dead and it was still under warranty.
They told me it was out of warranty due to liquid damage. I have no idea how it may have been liquid damaged, but oh well. I wasn't going to pay the $200 to replace the motherboard so I asked them to send the phone back to me.
I received the phone last week and plugged it in. I wanted to make sure I could repeat the symptoms and that HTC hadn't further messed up the phone before I took it to a local repair shop. But what happened when I plugged it in? It came to life and began charging as normal. Either a generous HTC tech fixed my phone for free or the phone needed some interior jostling to get circuits back to normal.
Whatever the situation, my phone has been good as new with all the data just as I left it. For a full week, I've had no problems charging.
As of about three days ago my One will not longer charge over USB. The phone detects that it's being plugged in, the computer recognizes it and the phone even acts like it's charging. Except it just won't charge. I've tried two different cables(one being the stock cable) and two different computers with the same result. I've done all of the tricks I was able to find on Google, such as holding power and vol- for two minutes, power and vol+/- for two minutes and holding it up to a light source to reset the light sensor. It also charges just fine in safe mode and with the phone powered off.
Hi all!
I was using my phone (listening to a recording and browsing as far as I remember) and battery was about 50%, then suddenly it turns off by itself. Tried to turn it back on, but still won't turn on so I thought battery just got glitched or something. Did the following after I came home:
1. Charged normally using original HTC charger [few min to multiple hours].
2. Charged normally using a non HTC charger [few min to multiple hours].
3. Plugged in to a computer using original HTC usb cable [few min to multiple hours].
4. Plugged in to a computer using a non HTC usb cable[few min to multiple hours].
5. Tried pressing Vol + and Power Button at the same time.
6. Tried pressing Vol down and Power Button at the same time.
7. Tried presseing Vol up, down and Power Button at the same time.
8. Placed phone under a bright light (light bulb) then tried doing 5, 6 and 7.
9. Placed phone under a bright light while holding Vol up and Power Button.
I tried almost anything, but phone still won't charge. No light indicator coming up and computer won't read the phone when I plug it in to my computer. Used different USB ports and USB cables, everything not working except that the Device Manager reads QHSUSB_DLOAD, which I read that it means my phone is bricked. This was a bit confusing to me because everything were stock. I never even attempted to do custom ROM's or root my phone or whatever else they do with it. I just bought the phone, used it, charge it and that's it. Never dropped it or anything that could damage it.
Please help me with this since I phone's warranty is already up and I needed my files and phone very badly.

If your phone was 100% stock and it went itself in qhsusb_dload mode its probably because of an hardware defect and there is nothing you can do. The unbrick project is your only hope but its for devices that entered this mode because the user flashed something wrong, so it will probably not work but you should try it just in case.
I stupidity pulled the back off my moto x last week and snapped a ribbon cable that connects the volume and power buttons to the main board.
I ordered anew one and installed it but now Only a green LED shows. I've left it on charge over night but still nothing happens. I've tried plugging it into the PC and I've tried holding down the Power button with the Volume down button, but to no avail.
This is where it gets odd. If I disconnect the ribbon connection I just installed it is briefly recognised by the PC and it lights up showing the charge screen. This stays on for about 5 seconds the it goes black again. Does anybody have any ideas? I've ordered another a new connection to check if the one I got was faulty.
Thanks,
Murraynt

Sounds like you've broken a solder connection.

Its nothing too do with power ribbon, check battery connection seems like its shorting with each other, if power button or ribbon is faulty it should charge when plug into charger.. Green light may also shows when bootloader gets bricked.. But as you said you pull battery cable didnt affect bootloader, in what state you pulled it out? If it was during flashing then... :/
I received my new ribbon cable today and my phone booted up! It could just be a coincidence, but its working!
