Hi everyone. I had my phone at about 50% charge. I turned off the screen and slipped it into my pocket. Just now, I tried turning it on, and it won't turn on. I figured the battery must have drained itself so I plugged in the charger and the light won't turn on. I then pressed down the down volume and the power button and it went into bootloader. From there, I pressed "reboot" and it again went dark. Now I can't even get it to start into bootloader. Even if this phone is dead, is there any way to retrieve the files stored on it?
Also, when I plug my phone into a USB, I get a message "USB device not recognized"
Does this mean it is still alive?

I had to reboot mine in to flash mode in order for mine to come back up. I had to hold the down volume (or up cannot remember right now) + power for a minute nearly. Then it rebooted correctly into normal mode.

So I ended up calling AT&T and they went ahead and shipped me a new MAHD.
I took the dead phone to work and tried charging with my work charger, and now it works! When it finally turned on, the battery level was at 3%. So lesson learned: Do not let your battery drain to 1%!

I am having the same problem. I can get the boot screen up if i hold the buttons in at a certain time while the phone is plugged in and attempting to turn on. however, the phone cuts out no matter what and repeats the cycle even with the boot screen up. during the few seconds i can get the boot screen up, i'm unable to select an option, only scroll up or down and highlight them. then the phone cuts out and 20 secs. later attempts to turn on again but never gets past the motorola icon. Any suggestions? I originally thought it was the battery so i ordered one and installed it correctly and charged it, but still the same thing is happening. When plugged into a pc, charge light comes on but phone won't attempt to turn on....?????????

Our phone doesn't receive power from the cable until it's fully booted. Factory cables are a good work around.

I have the same problem.
I think it's impossible to fix.
I tested with original charger.
I have also tried every possible button combinations.
and does not start
Has anyone been able to fix it?
Really randomly today I try to turn on my Nexus One after not using it for a couple of weeks, and when I plug it in it just vibrates non-stop. Screen won't turn on, phone won't turn on, nothing, just straight vibration.
So I plug into into the USB port, same exact thing, just vibrates one long never-ending vibration.
But apparently the computer is recognizing it because when I plug it in, it says unknown USB device detected (thru all the vibration and all).
I hold down all manner of combination of vol up, vol down, vol up + vol down, etc... before plugging it in or trying to turn it on, even with the battery removed from the device, same thing, no fastboot, no recovery, no splash screen.
Basically right now the only hope I have is that it IS vibrating, so it's doing something, and that even though the computer can't recognize the USB it is recognizing something plugged into it.
Any thoughts?
On Friday night the tablet ran itself down and shut off after watching some movies before bed. The screen and the rest of the tablet was functioning normally up to this point. I didn't bring my charger home with me from school, so it stayed dead for a few days. The tablet is now fully charged (or at least almost full. I left it on the charger overnight and this morning when I unplugged it I couldn't get the screen to turn on. At first I thought I forgot to plug the charger into the wall, but now I realized that the tablet *is* on, but the screen wont come on. My computer reads the device, and I can transfer files to/from.
When I hit the power/home button I immediately get a lock/unlock sound. Holding the power button to try to hard reset just makes it make the lock sound twice. Any advice here? Is my screen dead?

How long are you holding the power button. When I get the sleep of death under CM11 I have to hold the power button for a slow count of 15 then wait a few seconds and hold it again for a slow count of 3.
Hi all,
plugged my phone in overnight to charge as usual. Woke up this morning and it was off. I presumed it hadn't charged properly so plugged it into multiple other chargers/battery packs etc. and nothing is happening.
I have it plugged in right now and it's just all black and the charging light isn't even on.
If I press the power button, the charging light comes on, stays on for a few seconds then goes off.
If I press and hold the power button then nothing. If I press and hold the power+UP nothing happens, if I press and hold the power+DOWN nothing happens at all.
My 'guess' is that the battery is so knackered (3yr old phone) that it's depletion overnight just emptied the battery so much that it just wont recover now and take any charge.
Looking for any and all suggestions of things I can try.
Hold power, volup, and voldown simultaneously.
Try connect it to computer, boot in flash mode and flash FW via FlashTool. Possible is that the FW got messed up... everything is possible.
Managed to get it going finally. Wouldn't charge, didn't anything. Plugged it into PC, loaded flashtool and it recognised it. Nothing happened though so was talking to tech support and magically after like half an hour talking to them it suddenly booted with 1% battery life.
It'd now charged and running ok

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.
