I don't really know what happened. When I press the power button my phone's screen lights just black then goes blank. When I press my buttons they vibrate but nothing happens. I've tried pulling the battery out several times, leaving it on the charge and all other kinds of things. It is just not working. Does anyone have the solution to this problem?
I'm not sure if this is the same issue..but along the process of rooting my rogers raider I encountered thus during a regular restart. I thought I bricked my phone but realize that the back light was just off and my phone was actually in the recovery menu. I put the phone under bright light and I could just barely see the headings in the recovery menu. It took some tilting and angling the phone just right to see it, but I was able to run a nandroid recovery and get back to a point before this happened. Once again, not sure if its the same thing but try tilting the phone around and using the volume keys to see if you can see the recovery menu in the blank screen.
Hope this helps

This doesn't seem to be the situation I'm having but thank you anyway. +Thanks.
when you plug it in to charge, does the orange charge light come on for 4-5 seconds then go out again? have you tried to hold the vol down key and the power button to get into HBoot? If you can get into HBoot, you might be able to get into recovery.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. I tried what you said but it is not working. My phone won't go into Hboot.
I think your battery isn't charging (at least that was the issue I was having). Your battery will only charge when the orange light goes on, and if it's anything like what was happening to me, when the orange light went off, that's when the buttons would vibrate. If this is the case, it may sound tedious, but you have to watch the phone. When the orange light goes off, push the home button several times and the vibrating will stop. Then you should see the orange light come on again to signify the charging state. It'll go off again after 4-5 seconds and the buttons will vibrate. Repeat the process of pushing the home button and letting the orange light come on and eventually, the phone should try and turn on. You can try and see if it'll boot, but mine never had enough juice to turn on. So I would pull the battery when the HTC Logo came up and repeat the process with the orange light. This time though, I would hold the vol down button knowing that when it tried to turn on again, it would load into the bootloader. I can't guarantee this'll work for you, but give it a go. What might make it easier is borrow a charged battery from someone and see if it'll load into the bootloader. That might save you from that tedious process.

I tried your method.. And when you said to tap the home button several times... It never stops vibrating.. It just keeps going.

help the charging light doesn't come back again.. vibration has stopped.. but still no charging light
help pleaseeee
Try different battery fully charged and see if your phone turns on. It it does then plug your phone for charging and see if charges.
Try connecting your phone with usb cable in computer and see if your computer recognize the phone.
there can be three issues.
1. Your battery is dead and won't charge
2. Your charging port on phone is not working
3. your phone backlight is not working.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hello
I hope to get an answer here to avoid a new thread. I was trying to return my vivid back to gb from ics. I had booted into the bootloader and i dont even remember at this point what i thought i was going to do. I think i got distracted. But anyway i pressed vol down to boot recovery because i was going to do a backup and i looked away from the phone for a minute and when i came back to it the phone was black screen. i hit the power thinking it was just on standby but nothing. I notice it was backlit on the screen but nothing would happen when i press anything. I pulled the battery waited a few min put it back and now totally black with no activity at all. no lights no vibrating no power on, no adb. I have played with a lot of phones and even iphones too so if this thing is fried i guess i will consider myself lucky that its the first ive actually killed out of probably 30 phones. I have searched and tried many things but i cant believe there is no way to recover it. I have recovered a lot of phones I thought I bricked before. any help is greatly appreciated. I was on ics and rooted. I also relocked the bootloader. (i was planning to go back to gb) I thought i had a recovery installed but maybe not. i posted in another thread that i was unable to get hboot by power + vol down method. i could only do it through the tool kit. so i dont know if any of that matters

I hope someone resolves this issue, I've messed with lots of phones. But this is really weird. But I got the same problem where all that happens is that there is backlight on but no boot IMG no HTC logo, no bootloader, recovery. Completly non responsive. At first it wouldn't even power on until I would unplug from a power source. Whether it was unpluging the charger or removing the battery. That's when the backlight would flash. All this happened in the process of flashing a PH39IMG.zip
Is there no other fixes for this? Anyone? Please

I once got stuck on the HTC screen (White background) and found out I could access the device in adb.
So, connect your phone to your pc and check if you can access it from adb (adb devices). If you can try get to the bootloader from here and see what happens (adb reboot-bootloader)!
And if you can access bootloader,
>If you need to get back to stock, get your carrier RUU, put rom.zip from it in an external sdcard and use reboot into hboot again, OR
>if you need a custom ROM unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery (TWRP is cool) and you may use TWRP to install your ROM
I hope this helps... lets know...
I did mention I cant get it to recognize the phone. So no adb I tried all that before posting. Im afraid im just dead
So I am having the same problem. I eventually got it on yesterday but I turned off my phone and I am back to square one. Would using the vivid toolkit work to reboot to hboot? or am I stuck like this until i replace battery?
4 hours later I am back on!! never turning this thing off again
Had the same problem and just left the at&t store and its the battery. Once he exchanged batteries it worked fine
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
So I installed HTC_M7's CM10.2 ROM, after using it for a little bit, i decided to go back to sense. So I got rid of that and installed this rom. It worked fine after I booted up, except that none of my apps where downloading, so I decided to restart, now my phone is stuck in either the shutdown, or boot up animation.
I tried holding the power button but it's not doing anything, also tried pressing the power and volume down button.
Right now I'm just waiting for the battery to die, it was at 38% when I decided to restart.
Any suggestions? I was going to see if I could get into recovery and wipe everything after the phone dies and charges a little bit, then add more charge and RUU it.
EDIT: I have clockworkmod recovery.
EDIT: #2, tried the, shine a bright light on the phone and press the power button thing, and it worked, I don't really get how that fixes it.

Try holding the power button for a long time (around 20 seconds) when Stuck on HTC Logo to force restart.
Or you can hold power and volume down to enter bootloader menu and factory reset (not recommended because I don't know if it will make it work again).

I have a rooted VS980 with nameless rom. Just out of nowhere i went to turn on my phone screen and the screen illuminated like it wanted to turn on, but nothing came up. It was plugged in, charging. the notification light was working and told me i had a text. I held down the power for 20 seconds or longer and it seemed like thephone restarted, the screen went black and then illuminated again. But no LG logo, no nothing. I let it die completely before trying again, and i plugged it in and tried to turn it on withno avail.. No button combo works, im pretty sure the phone is just done. I didnt drop it or anything and i wasnt doing anything to it when it stopped working. If I hold the power down for a long period of time the red led starts blinking red. I dont know what to do, any ideas?

maybe, i think its the screen. i was pressing the buttons before and i heard a screenshot sound. i think the phone is on but the screen mysteriously stopped working. nothing comes on the screen
Hi,
This morning I woke up, my phone was locked on the screensaver, nothing was happening at all. So I har shut it down by keeping the power button pressed.
Since then, I can't turn it on anymore and it does basically nothing. I tried a hard reboot with power button and volume down (and tried also with volume up or both at the same time).
I also tried to plug it in the charger or in the computer but nothing happen at all.
I don't understand, it was working perfectly fine, I have no idea about what to do.
Thanks for any help.
Does it load the miui logo or it doesn't even light up at all?
If it doesn't turn on at all, then that has got to be a hardware issue and you gotta go for repair, if it does load the miui logo, then I can try and help you
