there is an option called "Repair my phone" isnt that the same thing.. i did it already,, nothing happend,,
If you didn't flash/update or made any ROM changes before the battery was running empty it might be a phone/battery or a charger problem.
Try charging the phone for 1-2 hours with another charger, if it doesn't boot it might be a problem with the battery or the phone charging circuit, this should be covered by warranty.

That works on most of dead Xperia Z
no luck!

Updates successfully with SUS, but still same,, fastboot mode works,, but bootloader not unlockable
Really randomly today I try to turn on my Nexus One after not using it for a couple of weeks, and when I plug it in it just vibrates non-stop. Screen won't turn on, phone won't turn on, nothing, just straight vibration.
So I plug into into the USB port, same exact thing, just vibrates one long never-ending vibration.
But apparently the computer is recognizing it because when I plug it in, it says unknown USB device detected (thru all the vibration and all).
I hold down all manner of combination of vol up, vol down, vol up + vol down, etc... before plugging it in or trying to turn it on, even with the battery removed from the device, same thing, no fastboot, no recovery, no splash screen.
Basically right now the only hope I have is that it IS vibrating, so it's doing something, and that even though the computer can't recognize the USB it is recognizing something plugged into it.
Any thoughts?
Hi Guys,
I Hope this helps someone because i was tearing my hair out trying to figure this thing out! My lovely perfectly assembled blemish free HTC one was a paperweight
Thought i would update you about a fault that developed on my HTC one 801n On the three network in the UK.
Let the phone battery die as i forgot to put it on charge.
The phone would not turn back on. It would not accept charge and would not connect to PC.
Steps tried:
USB charger < 2 Hours
Genuine HTC One Wall Charger < 24 Hours
Attempting to load boot loader to enable fast boot.
Attempting connection with pc to use ADB to reboot or enter fast boot.
Holding Both volume keys and power keys for 2 Mins
Shining a bright light whilst attempting to turn on (weird i know but apparently it can fool the sensor - reported in some forums)
No LED came one whilst attempting to charge.
After several hours of tinkering i managed to get the LED charging light to come on using volume Up and holding the power button whilst connecting to USB port of a PC directly and the device got warm. I then after 2 Hours connected it to a wall charger for 24 hours. its still would not boot.
Attempted after leaving it for several hours and the LED flashed red but would still not boot.
Managed to get the Solid red charging light to come back and ADB fast boot could not connect to device.
Ran through all troubleshooting steps with HTC. It looks like the battery went below a minimum accepted voltage and therefore as a safety wont accept charge. Im not the only person to have this issue but I've noticed that its mainly rooted users that had the problem and there is a chance the custom recovery that is allowing the drop if fastboot is enabled. I cant confirm this as I'm not technically minded but the circumstances between mine and other peoples issues are similar.
I have managed to get the device to turn on by doing the following:
1) Connect to PC and leave for half an hour and wait until the flashing red LED turns solid RED
2) Open up a ABD fastboot terminal and type fastboot reboot. It will say waiting for device
3) Press and hold volume down and power button and hold until the device vibrates and let go.
4) It will then turn on.
It Seems that the reboot command gets through just quick enough, although the device does not have enough power, whilst attempting to boot into recovery and will load up as normal. Its now working, but just in case there is a fault, I'm getting it replaced as its only a week old and would rather not wait to a point where i cant get a brand new one and would have to wait for a repair through HTC.
My set up was:
HTC 801n
4.2.2 stock rom
rooted (s-on)
CWM Recovery 6.0.3.1
I really hope this helps someone.

Couple of seconds worked for me. it will flash and it will either change to a solid LED by itself or to try and force it hold down the power button.
HTC One problem
How you managed to turn flashing LED to solid LED?
I have same problem but I tried all combinations of volume buttons and power button with charge without charge, with bright light, without bright light and so on and so forth. It is charging for almost 24 hours now and still I can't figure this out.
LED is just flashing and that's it.
I will try your advice with ABD fastboot terminal although I never done this.
But honestly I don't think it will turn on.

It took me about 2 days of tinkering to eventually get the light on! took connecting it to a USB3 port and then trying to get the lihgt to turn solid red.
The phone itself said it was in an awake state even though the screen was off and the phone would not respond!
HTC One
Well I have problems with your solution. As expected.
I can't use ADB tool because it wont recognize my device since it's off naturally.
I connect it my HTC One and when I try to run ADB it just pops for second lists I believe all commands and shuts off.
So if I could run ADB it would be good to try but I can't get him to run either.
BTW I am following guide for installing ADB and using it.
Do you have any advice?

Well ok I did install Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool and tried your advice but no luck.
I am now depressed. Don't know what else to do.

Well, my devices paperweight issue may have been different to yours.... did you attempt to put it into the Hboot menu before you tried the fastboot command?
The home and back arrow should flash?
Yes I did try to enter Hboot before I tried fastboot command.

I dont really know what elese to suggest tbh. If you keep tinkering with it, it will come back to life. they were only the steps that worked for me. Do you get a command error in the terminal window? or does the command get through?
Well it says nothing. After I enter the command it just says "waiting for device" and thats it. I tried power+volume combinations with this command too and still nothing.

Thats what mine said, waiting for device, and after holding the power and volume down for around ten seconds is when it sprang backinto life.
Is it getting really hot while charging?

I tried that combination. I even kept pressing it for longer period of time (2 min) and still nothing. But every time when the phone is connected to the PC after I press those buttons after 30-45 sec my Windows constantly plays sound (every 5 seconds) that my USB device has been disconnected. If you know what I mean. And then flashing LED indicator turns off. Then I have to unplug USB and plug it again in order for LED indicator to start flashing again.
It is not very hot. But you can feel it is warm.

That shows that windows is detected the usb hardware. Have you tried any other commands? when you plug registered as anything? and disk drive or anything like that?

When I plug it in it just plays that sound that USB is connected and that's it. I went to device manager to the USB section of the list and there is no sign of my phone. Also it's not detected in any other way but that Windows sound that USB is plugged in.
Honestly I haven't tried any other command then [fastboot reboot & fastboot recovery].

Do you have USB debugging enabled?
try adb reboot bootloader
If its being detected, the adb may be able to trigger a reset.

Yes. It's always on. Because when I plugged it in when it was working I could see USB debugging mode tuned on. By default both my HTC One and Desire X have it on.
I was checking my phone right now because its since last nigh on charger its very hot.
I read on some thread on this forum that some guy left it on charger for whole 4 day until his LED indicator flashed solid red and then he was able to turn it on.

can you try running abd and typing:
adb devices
That should see if its detecting it
I just did that and it says "List of devices attached" and there is nothing else except that line.
I was in download mode connected through usb and accidently pulled the battery out, now the phone won't boot at all. It doesn't even show the samsung screen. Buttons do absolutely nothing, can't boot into recovery mode. Only when I connect through usb to the computer or charger, a little vibration goes off and the loader screen that shows right before going into the green battery charge mode shows up and stays. The phone is absolutely unresponsive at this point. When I disconnect the charger thee preload screen stays on and only taking out the battery completely turns it off. The usb won't recognize it, can't use adb or odin. Please help.
It was really tricky to get it to charge, but eventually it even showed the battery charging icon.
When I connect it to a wall charger i get a red light.
When I connect it to a PC i get green light.
If I press volume up + power the phone vibrates, I get a blue light and the computer detects something.
I have already tried flashtool and Xperia Companion but the software won't detect any connected device.
adb devices won't detect any connected device.
If I try to boot the phone it just gets stuck on the sony logo
Is there any hope for this device?
