Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have an Incredible S with Virtuous Quattro installed. I did that 3 weeks ago. Since then I experienced 4 freezes and the buttons (although working) didn't light up at all or just flickered. But this is not the problem, I just mention this in case it is relevant.
I put the phone last night on the charger and realized this morning that the screen was frozen again, I removed the battery and reinserted it. The phone seems to start (vibrates and when connected to the PC it also tells me it loads the driver) but nothing else happens. No screen output at all. I tried now umpteen times, removed battery and tried to press power button whilst holding the vol up button, all to no avail.
Do you have any idea?
Try volume down + power ..

Tried that but phone doesn't react at all, doesn't even vibrate as it does when pressing vol up + power or power alone :crying:
But thanks for getting back!
Is ADB working? You can't enter the bootloader?
Some have had success leaving the battery out for a while, and then putting it back in and turning it on
Not saying it WILL work, just a suggestion
And I'll try not to scare you, but it is actually is possible that you fried your eMMC chip pulling your battery Seems to have happened a few times on Desire S and Incredible S :/

Thanks for that, I think the latter is what happened, the phone just doesn't do anything. I think it is time to bin it and to get something else

Before you bin it, perhaps take it to HTC and tell them it has stopped working, and that it happened when you were charging (which is true)
If they can't turn it on, they can't see it is s-off
and will replace the motherboard
IMHO doing a battery pull at the wrong time is all you did mate, its HTC's fault for using faulty eMMC chips. Doing a battery pull is not voiding warranty as AFAIK
Is it under warranty? If it is, then its worth a try instead of binning a $300 phone with one fried chip
Had the Same issue gave it to hTC they Gave me any entire new Incredible s
Thanks guys, I will give this a go.
I do have the same problem now , its not under warranty , any other way to fix it :crying:
Same but different
Well I have the same issue but only slightly different. I can't access the bootloader nor the recovery mode. I don't know why. I'm currently using cyanogen 7.2. At first when I flashed it,everything was fine. Untill one day,my upper screen(status bar) can't seem to respond to my touches. Day after day it just got worst. Till one day,I my IncredibleS just left me a black screen but there were lights on the 4 buttons(home,back key etc.) I tried using the battery pulling method. Sometimes it works,sometime is doesn't. But even so,my bootloader still persist to show up. I'm a S-ON by the way. Any idea how do I solve this? And yes,my warranty has expired last may. :crying::crying:
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.

Damn. Really? After just using the phone for a day? Today just really isn't my day.
Would there be any other things I could try? Any jigs to force it to boot into bootloader or anything?

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?

HI, my friend spilled beer on my HTC One and i wiped it off after i found out. It wasn't turning on for a few hours but i eventually left it plugged in. After leaving it plugged in, it turned on. My issue is that its stuck in kind of a boot loop where i think that the HTC One's power button may have fried and it just thinks i am holding it down. Once when i finally got it to boot fully it kept locking the screen and asking if I wanted to power off. Any solutions? Thanks

since its an hardware issue, the phone probably must be opened and the damaged part replaced. I highly suggest you to send it for repair and not opening it yourself.

Try to keep it shut down in rice for a day or two, if it's only moisture.
If not, as Alray said, off to the repair store...
so i had this phone for almost a year now, yesterday when the battery is about 30%, it freeze while i was opening a word document and gallery in the background. I pressed the home button a while and it still freeze, then i pressed the power button and the screen goes off.. sadly until now.
i have tried so many combinations of power+volume(up down and both) for more than a minute, but nothing works. it even didnt recognize the hard reset combination damnn, and the trick about light sensor also didnt help. I've tried to charge it, with two different cable on a few socket but the led didnt even work. Im so desperate, if i hit the service center it'll be repaired well but i cant imagine all my data would be erased again (about 2 months earlier i fixed the pink tint issue and lost everything). Should i just wait for a few days and keep trying ?? someone having the same kind of problem ?? help me please...

So you did not learn anything from your last experience? Always backup your data on a regular basis! When something goes wrong, its to late to do a backup. Backing-up once a week is a good practice and in case of a failure of your device, data lost should be minimal.

Take it in for warranty m8
Might be worth waiting for the battery to completely drain and then try and turn it on after getting some charge in it.
I've had problems recently, after using OTG, the tab's display will just turn off, and when I mean off, it's just the screen, the tab is actually still on, as you can feel the heptic feedback, the only way is to force reset using the power volume and home key.
Another problem, still recently, I had about 12% power, so I just connected the USB to charge the tab, the screen started to flicker and then nothing works, after 10 minutes reconnected the power, and it started to charge up from 0%, it seems like the tab has gone haywire, I had decided to trade it in the next few days for the xperia X performance.
Not even bothered to take it to samsung service center (still under warranty), I can't stand their customer service, my tab has been through a repair before, my home key died and it kept on grabbing the side of the hole and sticking down, they replaced the part, but left something inside causing a lump at the back, problem sorted out, but the buttom kept on grabbing the side of the hole and not coming out if you press it slightly on one side, I even showed them the problem, and they agreed, and they say that a normal person won't press the button like that, and it's normal, I did mention that I have tried a few units and does not have the same problems, they just said it's normal, so I said to them if this is normal what isn't normal, and do they tell all there customers if they have a problem that its normal.
So I am completely sick of there BS, trying to keep away from samsung stuff.

Got rid of it, it should be a problem internally, anyway I've traded it for a Sony Xperia X performance.
Mine also died few days ago. I tried to charge it with different chargers and cables but without any success. POWER +VOL DOWN is not rebooting the tablet.
Now I am planning to open the back cover and will try to disconnect the battery. I believe it will help.

I am sorry, I did not have enough time for that in the last days. I will do that probably later today and will share the result.

Unfortunately, no. It didn't work. I removed the back cover and managed to disconnect the battery. I left it disconnected for few hours, then I put everything back together. After, I tried to charge it and power it on again but without any success.
Any advice and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

They offer a full refund and you're 'done'.
