Never dropped, never rooted etc, normal phone. The phone was purchased 9 months ago and after around 6 months exhibited some lags for menu/loading keyboard etc. I carried on until today where things got so bad with menu/program lag and so on that I decided to reset. I backed up everything from phone memory. From 32 GB internal memory around 12-15 GB were free. Battery was around 50%. I went to menu and made a factory reset.
After awhile, phone shuts down and does not turn on. When I connected the power it showed the battery charging icon and the orange light went on but no animation (if any) on the charge icon on screen.
Followed the steps online to hold power and volume up and it finally shut down. Now does not turn on at all.
Following the directions from this page on xda-developers , option 1 does not work at all. Option 2 makes a short vibration after initial 15 second but orange charge light does not illuminate. Continueing on holding the buttons makes short vibrations every 13 seconds onwards. Also holding power button and volume up does exactly the same thing. Power and volume down does not do anything.
Please help ! What did I do wrong ?
From XDA-Developers:
Option 1) Hold Volume Up & Down, then hold power for 90 seconds. Should vibrate/flash/respond somehow. Sometimes
takes some time and a few tries with long waits in between.
Option 2) Hold phone up to bright light (headlight or lamp bulb) and hold power for 15 seconds. Orange charge light
will illuminate. Play with power & volume buttons till it boots.

On Looper, flashed vindicator , charged phone to 100% while on, powered it off to fill it up while it's off, all i have is lightning bolt , no percentages, and i cannot get off the screen cannot power it on (been holding power button for 10 minutes now)
Help please!
power + vol down finally did the trick. so weird anyone else on vindicator able to charge while off?
hold: pwr/home/vol down
My phone battery died and the phone got switched off, now its not switching on even after charging through wall charger. When I try to reset the phone by pressing volume up + power on button/volume up+down+power on button after about few seconds the white screen with htc logo and powered by android comes up for few seconds and goes black again.
When I press volume up+Down+Power button for more time the white screen appears multiple times but phone doesn't boot. I can see the black screen battery charging animation, battery charge percentage and steady orange light when connected to the wall charger.
Please help me, if anybody has a solution to bring back the phone to life.
After few attempts of different combination of power up + volume down + volume up buttons I could get into the bootloader screen, when reboot and other options didn't work. I reset the phone and it came back to life, but lost all the data on the phone memory.
My phone keeps shutting down after few minutes while charging. And it's like hardbrick, power key doesn't work alone, but with the combination of 'vol down' and power key it comeback live showing battery charging. And one more thing when it does not respond to any key, led shows it is connected to power. My phone is on stock rom Android 6.0.1 unrooted.
Your battery is toast..
Hello everyone!
I was charging my phone last Wednesday night, last I checked was the battery was at 92% , then after 15-30 minutes I checked my phone again and I found out it was dead. I tried to charge it again, but it doesn't show or indicate that it was charging, I tried pressing the power button, but no display, I tried hard reset, and it displayed the logo for a while then go black again.
I tried charging it last Thursday evening and the phone suddenly blinks red light for about a minute or more, then no reaction at all.
I tried doing some combos from forums like :
Tried doing while charging press voldown + power button = blinks a red light once
Tried pressing voldown + volup + power button = nothing happened
Tried pressing voldown + power button for 15 secs, then volup + power button for 15 secs, then voldown + volup + power button for 15 secs, nothing happened.
I dunno what to do now, please help, service centres are I think closed here in Philippines due to some implementation of the government against COVID-19.

same situation Sir. Any update on your phone now? what measures did you do? thanks!
today my phone suddenly restart then freeze then restart then long beep for about 10 sec. then dead and can't be power on any more help
Same with me. My Phone suddenly froze, and couldn't turn off or close the game (Genshin Impact) and a high pitched noise was coming from the device.
I Tried to force it to shutdown, but then it can't be turned on at all
The phone itself can't be turned on at all UNTIL some point when the phone reach 0% Battery (yes, I don't even know when does my phone reach 0% Battery)
When the phone reach 0% Battery, you can charge your phone and get some small red light indicator response, BUT IT STILL WON'T TURN ON
Then, after some couple of minutes, the Small Light Indicator would be off, the phone would be look like they're fine, it will show the battery percentage as usual when you charge your phone when it shutdown. BUT IT'S NOT FINE YET.
When I tried to turn it on (no matter Via Long Press Power Button/Power Button + Volume), it would stuck at ROG Logo, then it completely shutdown and can't be turned on again.
