Today, my HTC One was very hot out of nowhere, so I decided to turn the phone off to let it cool down. After an hour, the phone was still hot, so it seems like it never completely turned off. I kept the phone off, and after a while the phone was cold again. I tried to turn on the phone but nothing happened, probably because the battery is completely empty.
When I connect the phone to the charger, nothing happens, even after keeping it plugged in for a couple of hours. I've read a lot of threads of people with similar problems, but none of the solutions seem to help. Before today, the phone was perfectly fine.
Phone info:
Rooted, S-OFF, running Cyanogenmod 12 early build
Does anyone have an idea? I would be very thankful.

During installation of ROM update, my phone stopped and it doesn't start.
I think it is because of battery.
There wasnt enough battery and i think it dried out.
Now I know that it had to have at least 50% of charge but it is too late for that. (i had stg like 40% of charge)
Is there any way to charge it and install new ROM?
I tried to charge it during the night and nothing happened.
also I removed the battery during one day and I tried charge it again and it didnt work either.
please help.
Thanks

yes but it supposed to start if it is only a battery problem when it is plugged to charge, isnt it?
i think i flashed the bios or stg like that.
is there anyway to save it, to reinstall whatever it is?
thanks

From what I remember was that if you're lesser than 50% of battery it won't let you continue the flashing. So I'm quite positive that it is not battery issue.
I tried once flashing at 48% and it says my battery is less than 50%.
find a friend who has a fully charged blackstone battery, borrow this, and try do a hard reset.

That is not the issue when you flash in bootloader.

Yes. This is definitely a good suggestion. Also see if you can boot into bootloader and then install the rom again.
just charge your phone overnight and flash via sd card in the morning

If you don't have a friend with a Blackstone then head for a Phone shop (that sell them) and ask if you can just use the battery from their DEMO model for a few minutes. Pop it in and try a hard reset. At least you will n=know if you have a dead battery or not.
Cheers

You don't need to borrow someone elses battery. Take out battery and connect device to charger without battery. Phone should still turn on, enter bootloader, hard reset etc. If you cannot do any of this then its not a battery issue

i know that is not a battery issue now. i tried everything including removing the battery and using with charger. but still i cannot turn it on.

thanks
Are you able to do anything with phone? When you connect device to charger with/without battery does led light come on? Does phone make any sounds as if turning on/booting up but screen is just black?
If you are unable to do anything with device, try taking battery out and leaving device overnight, then re-insert it before trying to turn it on again.

i have already tried taking battery out and leaving for 2 days. it didnt work either.
i think i needto find out how to install bios to my phone.
i dont know if there is a bios for phones.
is it possible to install stg / bios when we cannot get into bootloader or do a hard reset ?
There's no BIOS on the phone per say, there's a comparable portion of firmware, but normally it can't be upgraded/replaced if the phone is not booting.
Your best bet is to send it to repairs, make up a reason why it failed (e.g. stopped working unexpectedly, never turned on after removing the battery) and hope they will fix/replace it under warranty terms.
If you are into having some intimate relationship with your phone, look around for Blackstone JTAG.
Hi,
I have a rooted N1 and has suddenly dead.
The device was fully charged and powered off after half an hour.
I pulled the baterry and tried any button combinations, tried to charge even through USB. The device doesn't boot up, it doesn't start and I can't see the google logo, the charging LED doesn't lights up either.
Is my mobile bricked?
How has the modible been working for months after flashing the ROM and stop working?
Thank you.
Maybe the phone bricked... Or something in the phone broke. Try the reset combination again and try leaving it out of battery or power cable for some minutes
Hope I helped

Hi,
The phone is roughly 4 years old and I haven't had any issue with its battery. In fact, I already have another phone and its battery lasts much less than the N1's. The battery was charged 30 minutes before the mobile dead.
I didn't know the mobile could get bricked even it works for so long time.
Thank you.

You can try to see if your battery is still alive / if your phone's display is working . I found a thread where the guy did a lot of stuff to his phone to cause the problem. I presume your phone was not subjected to any damage recently?

Thank you, I've already checked that post.
The device doesn't power on nor the charging LED lights. I haven't made any change (major nor minor) to the phone before it stopped working. No app installed in the las weeks, no SO upgrade, not a single change has been made.
Thank you again.
Only thing is try another battery like mentioned. It's electronic, sometimes it just die.

It's hard to find other guy with the same phone model. It's clera that N1 was a bad business for Google.
I tried another battery and it worked out.
What I really can't understand how people say that my phone could be bricked if it doesn't boot up and the charging LED doesn¡t light, is that possible?, how could I unbrick my phone whether I can't boot it up?
I'm sorry about my ignorance in the mobile phone's world?
I have encountered a strange phenomenon on my HTC One. I woke up and forgot to charge my phone the previous night, so I went to charge it and after about ten minutes it kept turning on and off with the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen over and over again. There is no LED light to signify a charge, and I am able to get to the bootloader screen (I hope that is what it is called) by pressing the volume down but the phone restarts and won't let me click anything. It will only let me scroll down or up once so I can't get to the factory reset. I've tried many battery tricks such as holding both volume buttons and the power button for two minutes and nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the same thing happened.
I tried posting a video but the forum won't let me since I'm a new user!
Hoping someone can help me out! I just want to get my photos back more than anything.
Thanks!

looks like the phone doesnt have enough battery to boot, shut it down and let it charge for 1-2 hours at least. If there is no led when charging, its probably because of a bad cable or charger. You can shut the phone down from bootloader: fastboot ---> power down.

Thanks for the quick response! I've switched out the charger to the original stock charger and I'm still having the same problem. The phone will automatically turn itself on after 10-20 mins and go into the boot loop. The other issue is I can't select anything from bootloader because it reboots again. I think the video would be helpful so I might go post on random parts of the forum to get 10 posts.

doesnt looks good mate. Maybe an hardware defect.
Just to be sure, you can power off the phone, if you do it reboots?
Maybe a problem with the power button or the battery...
Sounds to me like a knackered battery, unfortunately, that's one of the down sides of LiPo batteries, when they die they actually still contain 5% charge, if it drops below that, they are pretty much dead and cant really be charged properly again, ive learned this experience from flying radio controlled aircraft, basically, once the power starts dying, land it and charge it, if you push it right to the end, not only do you risk the chance of an expensive crash, but you have also just killed a £70 battery.

Oh man, that means I killed two batteries that day. I was flying my friend's quadcopter and the screen uses a lipo battery, which randomly died and now won't charge Yikes! You live and you learn. Is there anything I can do to "spark" the battery? Or more importantly any way to save my pictures? Thanks for all the replies!

I dont think you'll be able to backup anything with the phone stuck in this bootloop. Probably the battery can be replaced wihout loosing data on the phone.

I don't have a choice when the phone powers off, it randomly does it on its own when I'm in bootloader or if its just sitting there. I don't think its the power buttom because I can still press it, so its not jammed or anything. We have insurance on our phones so I can get a new one. I'm just looking to save the data at this point! Thanks for all your help so far!

Try connecting your charger and let it charge for about an hour, you should see a red led near the top of the phone. Then try clsA's method with the light. It that still fails you probably have a dead battery and will need to replace it.

Looks like your phone just won a trip to the repair shop. Either a bad battery or a failed motherboard. It happens, my HTC One x failed like that 3 weeks past the warranty. Was just sitting on my desk then turned off and never came back to life. At least, yours is still under warranty.

Okey thanks so i send it on monday and hope for fast reparing because its my only phone :c
My phone is very weird, It's suddenly restart when I receive a phone call. Before that my phone is running out of battery twice (under 5%). After that, it keep shutting down when I do something like turn on the camera or open some apps. It's only stable when I plug the charge cable. And I saw the battery from 5% to 97% after few seconds (really fast). And now it only can turn on about 2 second and going down. I still can access adb and flash mode. I've try flash my phone many time (5.0.2, 4.4.2 even 4.2.2). And it still can stay alive for about 2 seconds. Please help me solve this case. Thank you very much!
