Yeah so here's the thing. I put Cyanogen Mod 11 on my device a few weeks ago, used CWM. And it worked perfectly normal except for 2-3 restarts but that's minor. Anyway, today I was using it normally as usually, and when I locked it, it wouldn't turn back on(even though it was on charger). The back button and the options button were glowing, but Home and Power button didn't do anything, just black screen. I put the battery out and back in, removed it from charger and I tried turning it on, but nothing. Just nothing, no vibration, no logo, no nothing. It was just a black screen. I don't know why and what happened here but if you guys could help I'll appreciate it.

Try taking the battery out for a longer period, and then try entering recovery mode (in addition to pressing and holding the power button while powering on, hold the volume up and home button as well).

Now, i think, instead of me or anyone else asking you questions about the course of events, why dont you try to elaborate and describe what actually happens from the moment you press the power button to the point where you conclude that it doesnt work?
If there is no sign of life between those two events, then i would have to conclude it being an error on hardware level...

I press the power button, and literally nothing happens. No vibration, no logo comes on, nothing, like I didn't even press the button. And yeah it maybe is hardware's fault, but I'm not sure yet

The battery might be the cause. Try physically checking the battery for bulges and heat (hot to the touch). The last-mentioned can be tested by 'charging' the battery for a period of time. In other words: try replacing the battery.

Yes, the first thing you might do in such situations is to take it back to your carriers store and play dumb with "i dont know what happened, but my phone wont turn on anymore" etc. Most carriers dont have time to deal with such issues and just give you a new phone if youre within the warranty period. However if theyre wise to your act, youll have to try another store to get it fixed, if theyre willing to try or able at all. Bricking a phone is pretty rare, though.

Well my HTC One's power button is broken. (I dropped it and it got stuck) Is there a way to turn on the phone without using the power button. I'm talking about when the phone is completely turned off. I've tried connecting it to the charger and the led comes on, but the phone doesn't turn on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
EDIT: I know the phone works, I used it, but I was stupid enough to let the battery die.
Anyone?

Well thanks for trying. This really sucks.
Best I can suggest is use a toothpick and gently try prodding around the power button to see if you can somehow get it to at least turn on. Once it's on there are apps you can install to turn off and on the phone.. Sorry. If you have the receipt or warranty, best to get the phone replaced.. Good luck man

What about plugging it into your computer with the USB cord. Wouldn't that wake it up? DON'T have a computer handy to try it out myself or I would real quick..

Hi all,
I have purchased a HTC One while in US a month ago from AT&T. I am now in India and the device worked perfectly fine until two weeks ago, it switched off automatically.
I tried a lot of combinations mentioned in the forums and also contacted the customer service (both in US and India) and they requested me to try holding the Power and both Volume buttons at the same time for 2 minutes. I did this for 10 minutes and it won't work.
When I connect the phone to Wall socket charger, the LED won't lit up. When connected to my laptop, the windows O/S makes the connected sound but nothing happens.
I really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Krishna Menon.

Press and hold the power+volume down buttons. Once the home and back button lights start flashing, keep the power+volume down buttons pressed and plug it into your pc.. It'll connect and install necessary drivers and your phone lights will stop flashing, and it will eventually boot up in hboot.
It may take a few tries
Ps: Always use the thanks button

Hi nkk71,

Unfortunately "qhsusb" is usually a hard brick and needs a motherboard replacement
for one (or two?) people, the phone miraculously came back on for no apparent reason (if memory serves, for one guys it came back when the alarm rang the next morning), but other than that it's usually considered a hard brick, and needs hardware fix.

Thanks nkk71 for this quick response. It's very unfortunate that my phone requires mother board replacement.
I loved the phone a lot. Now, I have to shell around 15K I believe.

No warranty? Sorry mate
you could leave it in the charger for a full day, and see if it comes back to life, and power it completely off while charging, not just the screen off.

I bought this from one of my US friends and now in India and I wasn't able to properly contact him. Lesson Learned for life. Not to purchase without proper documents.
I have put the phone charged for straight four days without removing in the wall socket. Nothing.

I followed the steps mentioned in one of the posts on QPST; but as my phone was not detected, the COM port was stated as Not Available in the QPST configuration s/w. Don't know what else to do.
I thought I would add to this thread an obvious step that sometimes gets forgotten.
I assume you attempted to charge your device in multiple sources: wall outlet, computer, etc.
I suggest you try some more, ideally varying cables and power adapters.
I experienced too many times - and even once with the one - the same exact brick you're describing and most of the times, the only solution was the above: find a combination to charge the device when its battery is completely depleted as in this situation they're more picky as to the source of power

Hi everyone!!
Today, I woke up, and noticed that my Moto G 2nd Gen is died.
Honestly.. i don't understood what happened exactly. My phone was absolutely clean, no rom, no hacks, no strange apps, NOTHING!
Absolutely genuine and with just a few (famous) apps, like Tapatalk, Skype, Facebook etc..
Someone maybe knows what problem is it? Hope to receive help..
THANK YOU.
If it was completely clean I would send it back to Motorola for repair. It is the safest and best solution

You could try another cord and/or charger if you have any laying about. That would be on the assumption that it ran down overnight. BTW, if it is completely dead, it may take a little before you get any indication of charging.
have seen it happen several times.
This fixes most of the time
In the unlikely event that your device becomes unresponsive, frozen, blank or black screen, or will not respond to the power button, you can perform a force restart or reboot on the device by following the steps below.
Press and hold the Power button for 7 - 10 seconds, the device will restart and go through the boot-up sequence.
Notes:
The forced restart or reboot will not delete any Data on your phone.
If completing the 7-10 second Reset does not recover normal functionality of the device, then press and hold the Power Button for a full 120 seconds while connected to a charger.

The battery in the Moto G 2nd Gen is not removable.
So....
I think I hard bricked my 1st gen moto x. I was in the process of unlocking the bootloader using motorolla's guide and everything was going fine. i had the "unlock..." (or "unlocked..." i forget what it actually said) showing on my screen and just out of habit, i hit the power button as i put the phone down.
now, nothing.
nothing at all. no recovery mode, no nothing. does anyone have any suggestions? i've tried holding down power and vol down for 5 min. i've tried pushing random buttons. i've tried praying to the motorolla gods.
Is your phone the developer edition?

Press and hold the volume down button simultaneously with the power button for about 5 seconds then release. Can you get into bootloader mode?

This sounds like a hardware failure, maybe a battery failure or a charging port failure. Like someone else suggested, try a different charger and see what happens.
Is it still under warranty?

His warranty is void unless it's a dev edition

Depends on the state - in many states in the US, a manufacturer cannot void a warranty if the product failure/defect has nothing to do with why the manufacturer wants to void the warranty.
Since unlocking a bootloader has nothing to do with a battery failure, in those states where the law is as I stated above, Motorola cannot void the warranty. Now the average Joe may not know this and may not know how to sue Motorola if they won't honor the warranty, but if you do know this and do know how to file a small claims case against Motorola, then you would win in those states.
So it is not across the board true that you void your warranty if you unlock your bootloader and don't have a dev ed. It depends on the state and what is wrong with your phone.
Happened once to my Galaxy Nexus, solved with Odin. I don't know if there's such thing for Motorola devices :/
Odin can reconize the phone when powered off, that's why it worked.
i had no fastboot, recovery or battery icon when plugged to charger

I had this exact same thing happen today, but I pressed power because the phone was hung there for a minute when I know it takes 1 second.

Keep it plugged in, if it is totally drained, it will not turn on for a while until it gets charged to a safe level. Then after awhile on the charger, try to get into bootloader mode.

Unfortunately I have been charging it for a day now and nothing. I think I need to try that RDS lite fix or moto x flasher tool. Only problem is I don't have a windows computer with admin access, so trying to borrow one.

That is the first to.e hearing Odin being used on a nexus. That is interesting. I always thought odin was for Samsung only.

Good point. I have the old gnex. I just always used fastboot. Never read about anyone using Odin the whole time I used it. Always learn something new!
Same thing just happened to me. It was displaying blue "unlock..." then just froze. Absolutely nothing, just a black screen. Can't get into any bootloader or recovery. I really hope this phone is not totally screwed now. Any of you guys have any luck?
