I was fooling around with ROM cooking, it bootlooped, so I naturally pulled the battery. Now, it isn't booting at all and the charging light isn't turning on when plugged in..... help!
Charge light not comming on when plugged in ~= brick.
HOWEVER, sometimes mine won't come on if it is REALLY REALLY Dead.

Plug it into the wall for 10 minutes and try it again.
My battery was at 70% before it happened. It isn't dead.
Try ADB? Maybe the screen is just black?
I accidentally pushed all black boot screens to mine once....confused the hell outta me for hours!

me too. I did have an instance earlier today, where something I did may or may not have erased my boot.img and disabled adb all in one fell swoop, and I was forced to pull the battery. Don't ask

You can also try leaving the phone plugged in and trying to remove and reinsert the battery until it turns on.
the battery was alright till the day before. you really think that might be the issue?
The HTC guys said something must be up with the flex wire or something . anybody now bout that.?

tried it without success
It could be a faulty power button (it happens a lot). Read this:

If it was a bad flex cable, it means that your power button would stop working. My suggestion was because I thought your power button went bad. If it didn't work, it is probably related to the battery or some other hardware issue. I can't remember, does the N1 function without a battery if left plugged in?

nope. it just shows the orange light while charging. but refuses to come on. :\
Is there any way to find out for sure if power button is broken without sending it to HTC centre first ?
Well, if you battery is completely toast AND your power button doesn't work, I don't know if you would be able to get it to turn on by removing and reinserting the battery while the phone is plugged in.

that dint work either. not getting time to go the service centre as well. will let u guys know what was wrong once i fix it. wish me luck
Do you have a friend that has a Nexus One? Maybe you could borrow the battery to see if that is the problem.

Well, depending on what all you wanna throw at it, you can pick up some cheap batteries off amazon for $10-$20. Who knows how long they will last, and who knows if they are actually related to your problem, but for that amount, it may be worth it to try.

hehe. i will make the service fellows try a spare battery in front of me for free instead .
He said that if it recently fell (which it most probably did) then the flex wire might be dislocated fixing which is 5$ (250 INR) . If its broken then it will be 42$ for replacement. Will get it checked up tomo mostly.
Those prices seem really reasonable. I think the flex boards for the power button go on ebay for around $40. Sounds like a great company!

Fummy thing happened btw. It suddenly booted up yesterday when i was messing with it . .
what i can confirm is that the power button is not working for sure.

[Q] Phone will not charge or turn on

Hello guys my HTC One that I got around launch suddenly decided to quit out on me. It had died because I was using it. I charged it for a bit and then it died again so I put it back to charge and no LED light. I've switched out with multiple cables and nothing seems to be working. So I'm going to go on a limb here and say its bricked. Any other words of advice?
Btw it is a T-Mobile phone so what do I do if it is in fact bricked? Will they replace it for me because I would hate to buy another phone because this thing isn't cheap. Thank you guys in advance
Rooted? Which ROM?
Um, sure I guess? Should this be in a different section?

Make sure it's fully charged! Then unplug power cord. hold both power and down volume buttons around 30 second or more. That worked for me!

[Q] Cellphone restarting like nuts

Hello, i've got today an S3 MINI here with a strange issue, the cellphone when using it normally from all sudden it reboots and starts a weird scenario that doesn't boots up until a charger is plugged, when this happens shows an 75% 80% battery level (aprox) and the device works for a few hours normally and then it drops again.
Tried FACTORY RESET, no go... What's the next step on the issue??
Thanks!

I think the battery is damaged
You have a bad battery. The same thing happend to me last month. If you pull out battery, you'll probably notice it's inflated a bit.

Ah, I have the exact same issue as the OP Mind you I don't see any inflation.
What would you recommend to order as a replacement?

Look closer or try to feel it with your fingers. Mine is barely visible
Or something else died in your battery. but if it can't hold charge, chargest fast and discharges even faster, restarts.. time to change the battery. They're not expensive luckaly

Wont boot up?

Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Mi mix where it just shut down by its self and will no longer boot up anymore, it will load the Mix logo for a few seconds (after the initial Mi one) before shutting down. I can access the recovery, and have tried flashing a new rom, as well as fastbooted the original rom on. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, when plugging in the charge cable it will show charging, but stuck on 67%, it doesnt go above that with overnight charging.
Cheers,

Well maybe unplugging battery for a while may sort it, watch a teardown before attempting, I suspect the battery is actually flat and needs charging but it's stuck in some weird situation. You didn't say wether it was rooted with TWRP.

Thanks for the reply, I've unplugged it and tried rebooting, which it still wouldnt do. I have ordered a replacement battery just in case. And yeah it was rooted with TWRP running EpicRom when the shut down occured.

Leave it charging for 12 hours, it does sound like the battery was flat and giving false reading, hopefully leaving it on charge overnight will bring it back to life.
Which replacement battery have you purchased. You sure you connected the battery correctly
