Hi,
A friend gave me to fix he's HTC Desire X.
its won't boot what ever I do.
When I charge it the red led is on, but nothing else. adb devices show nothing (Linux system)
I'm familiar with HTC and adb so its not software on the PC issue.
Any idea what i'm missing ?
Can you boot into bootloader?

Hell, i have no clue
He claim he just used the device, it's not even rooted.
Fully charged battery?
I think so.
I let it charge for 14 hours. led kept being red.
I wonder if it was battery, while plugged it should have started right ?
why not just claim warranty rather than cracked your brain. leave it to the agent to fix it up.
Try another charger, had that too with my DX, another charger fixed it all.

I'm using original one, and tried with another cable to PC.
I guess he's doomed.
Check if protective foil is removed from battery.

not sure what it is, but i have red square on the battery side, its safe
if neither adb or fastboot doesnt see the device, i guess RUU is irrelevant huh ?
Any suggestions ?
If you have a red square on your battery it doesn't mean it's safe it means that it came in touch with watter. Ask your friend what did he do with his phone, the phone 100% fell in watter.
That small label is watter indicator, you have one more inside the phone.
Ok.
If that's the case.
Doesnt the phone should work with battery removed and power plugged ?
Can someone check this please ? (i have One X and can't check )
Maybe watter got inside the phone, not just reached the battery.

Symptoms:
1. Hitting power does nothing
2. Power + down volume does nothing
3. Plugging into AC power = no green light
4. Plugging into USB (computer) power = green light (which stays on after unplugging)
I have:
1. Tried battery and SD card pull while plugged in and not plugged in
2. A friends BH5X battery
3. Leaving the battery out for an hour
4. Leaving it charge via the Motorola AC adapter over night
I am out of ideas. Something else that may help... when the phone died I plugged it in (AC) and it rebooted to the recovery menu. I hit reboot, and since then it will not power on... or charge apparently.
Even with a charged battery it wouldn't boot?

Had a coworker charge my battery in his Droid X to 80% before he had to leave. I don't know what his battery was charged to in his phone, but I tried his as well with the same results. Does it have to be charged to 100%?

My battery will boot my coworkers Droid X. When it died it shutdown due to low battery. I plugged it into AC power... it booted up to recovery, and I hit reboot from the menu... after that it is completely unresponsive.

If the battery worked on your coworkers droid X then its not your battery. Which means its hardware or software related. Were you running any roms or anything or were you completely stock?

Yes, it should. Or if you had bootstrap on there (which you should if you flashed stuff) it would boot into that if you turned the phone on when the phone was plugged in. Its really hard to say what it is when your phone simply died of low battery and now wont boot. I'm just as stumped as you right now since you pretty much tried everything I would have.

Yeah when I said it booted to recovery I meant the bootstrap recovery. Since it won't boot I guess I don't have to worry about VZW finding out it was rooted... lol. Maybe I can get them to replace it.

Yeah, maybe you can get a replacement before they even know its rooted. lol. Just keep trying to boot it though. Maybe you'll get lucky.
Does your computer recognize the phone when you plug it in? You said the light comes on when its connected to your pc. If you can get adb running you can try to reboot the phone using adb.

No, and it will not power on... just green light... which stays on even after disconnecting it from the usb.
I did some more googling and reading. Then came across the Factory style programming cable.
So you flashed your phone and now it thinks the battery is dead (even though it's not) and it won't let you flash it again to fix it? Or, your battery really is dead and you don't have a way to charge it because your phone is soft-bricked and won't charge the battery. What do you do?
With this cable you don't even need a battery in your phone. This is our clone of what is generally referred to as a Motorola "Factory Cable".
Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that compatible Motorola phones recognize as a "factory" programming cable. This allows the phone to power up and be flashed without having a battery in the phone. Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.

If you can get to bootstrap why not just use a card reader throw eclipse or some rom on your micro which should have come with an sd adaptor and just reflash from bootstrap?

It won't power on at all... that's why I need the factory cable... it doesn't require a battery.
Well, I finally got that factory programming cable. That didn't power the phone on either... it did power on my fiancee's droid 2 with no battery in it though. I figured the phone was completely hosed (also noticed the battery bulging a bit), so I got a warranty replacement. Since I couldn't even get it to boot with the programming cable I have no doubt VZW will not waste any time trying to repair it... at least I hope that's what they will do.
If a lithium ion battery begins to bulge it can be dangerous if not replaced. This is rare but with these batteries if one were defective it could reach 1.5V per cell during use. This would render the battery unchangeable and its discharge would cause the copper plating to create a short circuit in the cellphone.

Yeah I chucked that battery and got a new one. Thinking that's what killed my old phone.
Two hours ago, I was playing some game on my DX, and suddenly the screen went black. Just like that! I tried Power button, vol down&power button, but nothing happens. Computer can`t recognized the device, but led lamp is red when it is plugged.
Do you guys have any idea what could be?
And yes, it is all stock, unrooted.
Please help, this is happening in worst possible moment, I desperately need my phone!:crying::crying:
Hmm did you remove and paste battery ? Maybe low battery ?
Seems like your battery was dead. Charge it for an hour and turn it back on.

Your battery is overheated, that's why the led is red instead of orangs when charging. Open the device and remove the battery.
Let it cool down for a couple hours and see if it will charge afterwards. If not you need to send it to a HTC repair center

No, I am afraid that all of you are wrong. Led is actually orange, not red. I took the device in local shop (not HTC authorized) and they told that my battery is ok. If battery is ok, what is wrong then? Guy from that shop says that it might be software, but I really doubt it. Any idea?
If Its a Graphic heavy 3d game then Its beacuse your phone over heated. Or did so while on charge, just take the battery out for a bit and give it a full charge
P.s.... The people at the HTC shops dont really know alot about their products so i wouldnt take too much notice of anything they Told you

NEED DESPERATE HELP ! ! ! [/B]
My HOX+ ran of out charge completely yesterday while I was playing a game on the phone. I plugged the phone in for charging via USB, the red light blinked three times and stopped. There is no sign of the phone charging anymore. So I then tried charging it via an AC adapter. The red lights stays there for only about 5 seconds and disappears again.
I have tried already tried to hard reset (power + volume down) the device. No sign of recovery! I also tried removing the SIM card and tried charging. This wasnt of much help either.
Please help with out any charge I'm not able to see a lot of options for my phone????

My recovery is kind of under a big question mark. I was using CWM but due to certain reason i wanted to shift to twrp. So i got rid off the CWM and flashed Twrp. However when i booted into recovery it just showed a black screen. This happened about two weeks ago tho. Could this be the issue?

Could be,
Visit Lloir's thread or TWRP official site and install the TWRP that is relevant to you (INTL / ATT)
you need to restart in fastboot to flash recovery.

I did that previously. I used the recovery suggested for my phone. Something still went wrong with the recovery.
I cant restart in fastboot. The phone is dead, No charge to even flash a ROM or do anything to recover my phone.
I think its time to give it to HTC. Hopefully since the phone doesn't switch on they probably wouldn't be able to figure out its rooted.
Thanks for your help guys but I think its time to call it.
Time of death- 10:28 P.M

Okay So I left the phone on charge for 27 hours. No lights and no sign of any activity. So then I had this little whack idea
I plugged my phone into the PC first. As I mentioned earlier- When I plugged my device into the PC the light blinked three times and then no light at all.
So this time when i plugged it into the PC I held the power button and waited for the three blinks after this I quickly took the usb cord and plugged it into an AC adapter while still holding the power button and Voilaaa
The phone is completely functional again.
Glad to have put you on the right track

Hi All.
Not exactly the same problem but very similar. I've opened my HOX+ a little (just enought to measure the pogo pins by inside). Then, when my device got discharged (already closed), I plugged the AC power and turned it on. During the boot screen, It suddenly turned off and now, when I plug the power the only thing I got is a red light blinking forever. No boot screen.... My device was unlocked and flashed with Elegancia for some days before it happened.
Does anyone has any ideas? Now I have a pretty fancy paperweight!

the flashing red lights = it's charging but not enough juice to boot, so leave it on an AC charger for about 30minutes

When I connect to a laptop I see the battery logo charging.
Finally when I plug into the wall charger I managed to start up the device again. Seems that it had something to do with the battery. To me this is a reason to send the device back.
Still the battery says 26%?
Unplugged the charger again, installed all my apps again and wtf at 26% battery it went black again???
The story continues.... Plugged the charger again and tried to boot the device with the following result..
