I installed the latest firmware for my device using fastboot to do firmware only and not the full RUU. Now am having a strange issue and was curious if I could get some help. When I power off the phone and plug my charger in it displays the battery with the lighting bolt and flashing LED. What is strange is that the battery icon will stay the same and the LED will flash and the only way I can get it to release from this mode is by holding the power button down until the home and back button stop flashing at the bottom at that time the phone will go blank and boot fully. I would like to leave my device off at night and still charge so any help would be greatly appreciated. Currently running T-Mobile HTC One with Venom Rom and ElementalX kernal.

I posted this in ATT HTC One, but it's not getting any attention.
Unlocked and rooted my phone last night using the latest version of TWRP. I mistakenly (not knowing at the time) used the Cyanogenmod installer kit which gave me an error during install. Now my phone is stuck on that spinning CM loading screen. When I go to get into the bootloader (power + volume down) my phone restarts and goes to the bright HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom, then goes right back to the CM loading screen and not into the bootloader menu like I want.
I have not yet tried the trick of holding the phone near bright lights to try and get it into bootloader. The USB cable I think is fine as well and not a cause of anything.
Any suggestions please? I have searched through this forum a lot, but haven't found this exact problem yet.

Ok you dont need to worry abt this. You need to Press (Power + Volume Down) till your phone restarts and then just leave the power button but keep holding the volume down button and it will take you to the Fastboot Mode and from there you can go to recovery and flash another Compatible ROM or do RUU. Hope it helps:good:
Thank you! I will try this tonight.
Others have also said I need to do this under a bright light, too.
Hi guys, I'm new with Xperia phones and also new with rooting,flashing and using recoverys..
I installed a new rom on my device (iHackers rom). When i started installing I had like 25% of battery. When I finished the installation (I didn't flash recovery again because I did that with the help of my computer before, so file - zip was not on my phone) I rebooted my phone. So here's where the problem begins. My phone wouldn't turn on. Black screen all the way. Tried the red button near the SIM card, tried power button and volume up/down, tried power button..nothing powered my phone on, but vibrations were there. The red LED is blinking when i charge the battery (idk if it's even charging). If I take the phone out of the charger, the red LED stops blinking. I can't turn my phone on or get into the recovery mode even after 20 minutes of charging on 220v.
Guys please help..I'm in panic here.

Fastboot or flashmode working or not ?
The first your mistake was to flash with 25% of battery. It's wrote everywhere to do a installation with a fully charged phone. Now probably in the middle of the installation the phone died and the installation was not completed and this mean your phone is corrupted and dead. The only advice I have now for you to left the phone under charger all night, next day with phone switched off keep push volume down and connect the phone via usb to PC, if the PC will recognize the device and it will install drivers flash a Stock FTF straight a way.

Your battery is dead. Does the phone feel warm? Leave it plugged in to charge for a while (at least a few hours, maybe overnight) and it might come back.
Like the OTA warnings says, do not try to flash your phone if less than 50% battery is available. If you do, you are only asking for trouble.

When I woke up in the morning the phone was not warm..it was hot..the whole day i was trying to bring it back to life but there were still only vibrations. When I connect it to my computer, the drivers get installed, but the power on button and combination power button+volume down don't work. The only combination that works is power button+volume up(the phone vibrates 3 times but still stays in the same condition). FlashTool doesn't recognize the phone either.
hold power+volume up. then phone vibrates 3 times and should switch off. wait a minute then try to switch it on just normal. does it slightly vibrate?
now try this again, now with charger pluged in. what happens then?

I think i have solved it..I left phone charging for 3 hours (without heating up), and then i plugged it in my computer. In PC Companion (yeah I never thought it would be that easy), i could restore my phone without even powering it on. I'm now downloading updates..But when I connected, flashtool detected that my fone is in flashmode.
:highfive:

Just wants to said same thing - it's probably in fastboot mode but the battery is dead, just plug it and try flashtool or fastboot.
But O.K.
One advice - guys already post that, I posted that many times as well but...
Never, never, never do that if your battery isn't fully charged.
Charge battery to 100% and restart to TWRP and check your battery percentage...
and you'll see why - it never shows correct info.
The other day I was flashing ROM and had 87% when I flashwd and boot my battery shown 36% and stayed on 36% for a few hours...that's not problem when you are in OS but when you stuck on powered off device - it could be very tricky to power it back.
That's why you can't update official ftf if you don't have more than 50% of battery power...

Hello I'm new to xperia Z1.
I also rooted and installed ihacker rom v3.
My battery was fully charged. But after installation my phone is not starting.
In flash mode when I try to flash the stock it disconnects and reconnects. I'm not even able to install stock rom now.

No it's not.
Ihackers is working without any problems...
I said that many times but I'll repeat...
When you are flashing ROM (ftf) through flashtool, don't connect device immediately.
Open flashtool, select ftf and hit start.
Wait until flashtool say "connect device"
Then plug usb cable while holding vol down.
That way you'll prevent device to restart while it's waiting flashtool to prepare ftf...

I have similar problem, but my battery is still over 85%, and i got this problem when i try to flash cwm recovery with fastboot... what should do?
I am having problem with HTC Desire 500 DualSIM (hboot 1.3). It does not show anything after pressing pressing POWER on button. The orange charging LED blinks while charging.
What I have successfully done:
-Unlocked the device (from htcdev.com).
-Flashed CWM. (for hboot 1.3)
-Flashed custom ROM. (z4dug_CleaN_hboot1.03)
The device started after the ROM was flashed. It was totally operable and everything was functional. I wanted to install INT2EXT+. I turned off the phone, because I would need to go into recovery. After turning off the phone it would not start. I could not get into recovery. Now only a orange LED blinks while charging.
Note: I did not install INT2EXT+ before, I just flashed the ROM to see if the phone would run.
What I have tried:
-Entering recovery (Power + Volume Down) [Unsuccessfull]
-Pressing power button quickly [It did not boot up the phone. It is just vibrating.]
I am currently charging the phone and after some time it vibrates for 7 times.
as far as I know, the only fix is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-500/general/dual-sim-fix-dual-sim-bootup-problem-t2924591
you need to s-off first, and for that you'll need to get it to boot (for me it used to work by removing the battery for 5-10 minutes then putting it back in, plugging it in and holding volume + power

Hi,
I am using CM12 nightly memul with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and now have trouble booting my phone. I turned it off and charged it overnight. Next morning the screen showed the "empty battery sign" and I could not boot.
I have yet tried to press the power button under a bright light and to somehow reboot it via adb and fastboot. I would now like to seek your advice in this matter, please.
With kind regards 981475165

You can forcefully reboot it by holding the Power and Vol+ keys for about 10-15 seconds. It should boot normally then IMO
Thank you very much. I did that before but the battery must have been too low, because at that time it didn't work.

do not reboot phone with USB cable connected.
use power+vol up to reboot
are you using HTC orginal cable???
Do you have the USB Debugging enabled ?
original cable, debuggin not changed becausa frash rom flashed....I solv it with volume- + volume+ + power=shoutdown
I'v installed the last stock firmware.
Now there is another problem: the phone is completely drained, put it on charge, and after a while I displayed a black screen, with the logo of the battery in the middle, and bottom of the red "This build is for developement purpose only .... ", red LED flashing. Cut the cable, it will not budge from that screen, compelled to force a shutdown (volume keys + power). Then boot normally.
How can I avoid this problem?

you recovery might be corrupted. re-flash. i advise TWRP.
charge phone when off for a while the remove cable and turn it on.
if LED its flashing, it means its not charging.
The problem happens only when the battery is fully discharged. When I connect it to the charger, the LED flashes, and appears on the screen the logo of the battery and the red lettering at the bottom. Then, after a while the charge, forcing poweroff the phone with volume buttons and power, and the phone will restart correctly.

We agree that you intend to solve the problem, but till the time a solution is not found its advisable to keep the phone into ultra power saving mode at 15% or 10%, this will give about 8-15 hours of time to find a charger to charge your phone.
For me I have never let my phone die out of charge and I don't have a charger with me every where.
The only way to know if this is a recovery problem, which I doubt, is to flash the stock recovery and stock boot and check.
