Help HTC one wont charge or boot

So my htc one running cm10.1 died and now wont charge or boot. ive left it charging for a while and nothing no led or splash screen when i hold the power button, also the charger doesnt get hot so i assume no current is passing thru it to the phone, ive tried other chargers and cables and nothing also tried plugging it in nothing works. I dont have insurance on it so thats not much of a option. any other suggestions im having a similar issue to whats in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257448
Device htc one sprint Recovery twrp kernel stock cm10.1 running cm10.1 nightly 6/7/13, also i noticed that earlier the phone didnt charge when i powered it off need help guys please.

anyone know anything else to try?

Weird, I would let it sit for a few hours to make sure the battery is completely dead. I bootlooped mine a while ago and even holding down power wouldn't make it reboot. After letting it sit, try a different charger see if the LED light starts blinking when you plug it in. It should stop after a few min turn solid, I would wait at least 10+ min then boot the phone into bootloader to hit recovery to restore a nandroid.

Try holding down power and.volume down at the same time under a bright light..I'm not kidding

it's power volume up to reboot, you've probably already tried

Had a problem with no charging after rooting, though I think it had more to do with my car charger. Contacted HTC and they suggested holding volume and power buttons simultaneously for two minutes to re-calibrate the battery. My phone is charging again and no more issues since I tried that. Worth a try.

The bright light thing worked for me. I was in a similar situation after my phone shut down during an OTG transfer. I tried everything and nothing worked. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I held it directly over a 100 watt light bulb and it booted right up.

I've tried with no luck, and while were at it just because you can get it to come back on with such a peculiar method we must ask ourselves how many times we would be ok with doing that to bring our phone back to life? there must be an answer to all of this somewhere but its kind of hard to pull any logs off and device that is 100% bricked.

[HELP] HTC One not turning on

Just wondering if anyone can help me out here..
My HTC is not turning on at all. I was using it fine, nothing was over heating and it was just in my pocket. I went to check on my phone and it was just off. Is there anything I can do, or possibly take it in for warranty. I have never owned a HTC so I don't know where to go for support. I am from Sydney Australia. Any help would be appreciated. I have left it on charge for 30 minutes - And nothing yet, not turning on

Havent rooted or unlocked at all I assume?
No lights or anytihng coming up? Try any button combinations, power and volume down, try it while the phone is not plugged in... report back with any findings.

Although when I hold the power down when plugged into my PC it makes the unplug sound and while still holding the power button long enough it has the plugged in sound. But nothing shows up on PC

Not sounding good at all. Hopefully someone else chimes in on this matter and has other ideas. Good luck.

Yeah i couldn't. it says Waiting for Device

Tried everything.. I bought this phone from Gumtree Australia a few months ago and that person got it from the Optus store via Contract I believe. But I don't have the Receipt however, I have the box and accessories and warranty stickers that come inside the box. Would I have to go through Optus store or is there a HTC One centre like they have Apple and Samsung centres/stores..
This question is probably only for Australian users

I heard of this before... Try plugging it into your computer and leave it for an hour. Then... (While still plugged in) hold it under a bright light and hold power + vol down, for a few minutes. I think this problem occurs because CWM allows the voltage to get too low for the phone to start. Good luck man

Well, when I heard this in another thread he said he fixed it by plugging it into the computer for an hour or so. Then the led turned red, then he put it into recovery and booted right into the ROM. Np hope it works out for you

The light has to be facing the phone. You can see the two sensors on the top left on the front, point the light there.

I fix mine by let it charge on wall plug for 4 days straight until red LED started to ON back..lets it charge for another 1/2 hr n press the power button to ON the device..weird..4 days just to gain back some juice due to battery completely die..

HTC one won't turn on, No LED, no flashing Home/Back button

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.

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?

[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?

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?????

HTC One stone dead!! Please help!!

Hi,
I recently went on vacation taking my 11-month old HTC One with me. Everything was working fine until one afternoon I went for a swim and returned, only to find my phone not switching on. That was puzzling, since it had about 50% charge left, and I was gone only for about 30 minutes, keeping the phone in my bag. I returned to my room and kept it on charge. No blinking red LED, no solid LED, nothing. Started to panic and tried various solutions specified here, all button combos I knew of (Power, Power+Vol Up, Power+Vol Down, Power +Vol Up+Vol Down, Light trick), but nothing worked. Connected phone to PC, and could hear the familiar 'USB Connected' sound, but nothing else apart from that, no storage device detection, nothing. Tried ADB, fastboot but since device is not being detected, they're useless. Kept it on charge for the whole night, still no response.
Decided to sent it in to HTC Service Centre, guess what, they call me back and say there's LIQUID DAMAGE to my phone's motherboard and I'll have to choke up Rs.14500 (around $250) to get it repaired. I argued vehemently that the phone was nowhere near water but to no avail. I took the phone back from them and was by now totally in despair. Kept it in rice for 2 days, still nothing. Tried out a local repair shop but the guy there has no idea about single case phones. My phone has everything stock, stock ROM, stock Sense OS and with Android 4.3 updated. I am really at my wits end now, and can't afford to pay that much, particularly considering the amount I had to cough up to get it. Guys, please HELP!! :crying:

I don't think we can help you with hardware damage. Your phone's motherboard is dead... from liquid damage or not idk but the fact is that it must be replaced and you have to pay someone to do the job or buy the part and fix it yourself if you have the high level skills required.
Sorry ;(

But how can it be concluded that my phone has hardware damage if I haven't done anything to it?? My phone's still under warranty..

Achilles try holding the power button and volume up under a bright light for two minutes. I know it sounds crazy but it worked for many people with similar issues.

I did try that as I specified above, held the device with Vol Up + Power, Vol Down + Power under a bright CFL light (tube), no response.

Try plugging it into a USB port ..leave it for about an hour...and then unplug and immediately plug it back into a wall socket..and while it's plugged in, try powering it up after about 10 mins...I've seen this working more times than one for the Galaxy Tab 3..no harm in trying it out.
On a lighter note, are you sure you didn't take the One along for the swim ??

Thanks.. Will try that too.. And no..I remember coming back and taking it out of my bag..

Nothing has worked. I really don't seem to have any choice now but to give in the phone for repair.
