Hello to everyone in this Awesome forum, long time lurker here, first time poster. I have a vast experience flashing Roms on a plethora of devices From My Huawei Ascend/Htc Amaze and plenty more but today my Lack of knowledge has finally caught up and I flashed CM10.1 on my HTC One(M7) and it was working fine but until earlier today when my screen went off and it wont come back on... I called my phone and the call goes thru you can see the soft keys turn on but the screen stays off, now when I long press the power/IR button the soft keys flash many times but the phone doesn't Reboot it just keeps flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. and yes to the trolls out there I have been looking on the forum for around 3 hours and all I can find is HTC One X post... Thanks For the HElp
You need to hold down the power button for 10 secs and it should reboot. If not you can try to boot into recovery using adb on your computer.
If you still can't see your screen then try using this app called [email protected] on your pc to try and mirror your phone.

Thanks for the suggestions, ill post back if any of them work.
(Update) it seems my phone is not on adb debug so it wont work with the latter and when it comes to the power hold I've been holding for longer than a min and nothing happens... thanks tho
I had this same exact problem last night, I just plugged back into the charger(the one connected to the wall outlet) and the screen came back on and it asked for my SIM card lock passcode, after that then it rebooted itself, and has been working fine since.
Hope this helps

hi all,
i had same problem, it happened second time, after i finish phone call, screen can not turn on while phone is on, volume keys react, and there is sound from incoming call.
tried to reboot, tried to to enter to recovery mode, every time two led buttons at the bottom were on or blinking.
first time when it happened reboot (hold power button for 10 sec) helped, and second time nothing could help, after about hour it started to work again.
very strange, i changed version and waiting for results.
This is most likely an issue with the light sensor at the top left of the front of the phone..
I've noticed similar symptoms during calls.. but if you are near a bright light the screen will become visible.
Additionally.. i recently had an issue where the phone shut off and wouldnt turn back on.. i held a bright light to the light sensor and then held the power down along with Volume -/+ buttons and the issue resolved itself..
the light sensor...
I had the same problems with the screen... first it was happen randomly from time to time. Plug it to charging and blank screen. Not responding to hard buttons. And come up from alone. All this happen few times until today... Does not matter what you do, the screen remain black and dead. Start thinking for replacement of the screen(which is very costly and seems that need to be done by htc=$200).
The case: the light sensor working in kind of revers mode. Means when there is light screen is still shot off(the chip did not get the proper signal and "think" it is still dark) so the screen is out of power and all the hard button and soft as well are out of any function. Pressing the power button ends up flashing soft home and revers on the screen, same as described in the first post.
THE SOLUTION: take a led flash light(i used another phone flash light) and light the sensor in the upper left corner of the phone. If this is the problem the screen will immediately come on. Then press the power button and restart the phone to reset the logic signal to the chip and to have proper reading. NOTE: it is kind of hard to operate the phone and light at the same time the sensor with the flash light. If needed get some help but you need sensor covered with light until restart the phone, otherwise the screen will become black immediately.
GOOD LUCK,

Need some advice please
Any Flyer member who can advice me please?
Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.
battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.
Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect

Thanks for your replies:
It didnt work pressing only vol dow for a while, or presing only power button, it never rests.
Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.
Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...
If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers
Any other advice?
Thanks in advance!

Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.
Nothing happens
i would suggest trying to globatron's attention. if anyone on this board would know what to do it would likely be him

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...
If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...
Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.
...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
Thanks.
Update:
I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:
sending..........
updating the Rom image on your android phone
It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!
Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
Orb,
That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.
After it boots again it goes back to normal.
Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply.
Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.
Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?
I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....
I swear never again to remove the back cover
PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...

That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)
I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.

hello
Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.
What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.
Need some serious assistance. Was playing with my dogs just a bit ago and decided to record it. So I go to the camera and switch to camcorder and the screen just turns green and the flash comes on and basically it's stuck. Ok so I go to settings and force stop the camera. Try to start it up and it just says unable to start camera. Ok so I guess I'll just restart the phone. Go to restart get to the white htc screen and the flash is still on. hangs there for quite awhile so I start hitting buttons. Screen goes black so I hold the power button again. Capacitative lights just flash. So now the phone won't power on no matter what I do the capacitive lights just flash at me. Any suggestions?
try holding power for like twenty seconds to reboot it.. it's like pulling the battery out. The capacitive light flash apparently means it's signaling to you that it's about to do a full reset.

Will give it a shot. My first phone with non removable battery.
Seems to have worked thanks a ton. Kinda worries me that the camcorder freaked it out like that though.

Sorry to hear this, try this. Plug in the charger, hold the power button. Release power button, hold it down again all with the charger in. I had some sort of soft brick messing with custom roms. It would not power on till i tried with the charger plug connected. I was spooked and thought it bricked.
Let me know how you get on. If that fails, RMA time

jayochs advice fixed it. Kinda freaked me out. May return it anyway as this isn't the first time the camera has caused some goofiness with the phone. Not rooted still 100% stock.
Last night i fell asleep and my phone died all the way, and now when i plug it in all i get is a lg logo then it goes away and then a dark lit up screen. ive let it charge for awhile now and i still get nothing, i cant get into cwm either.. the phone is unlocked and rooted and im running the base rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happened to me... leave it on the charger at least 3 hours and check it. The battery completely drains when you unplug the charger if you charged with the phone off. gl
Edit: If it still won't work, turn phone on and plug in charger.

This happened to me too. I completely drained the battery and it kept going into a loop (black screen, LG logo, battery screen). I left it plugged in and off and let it boot up.
FYI
This has happened to several people. I have confirmed through testing, even exchanging my phone 2 days ago that this is an issue created when unlocking the bootloader. Rooting does not cause it. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can not get around this by re-locking the bootloader.
The workaround is simple. Either leave your phone on while it is charging or if you charge with phone off, unplug your charger and hit the power button- you will still see the charge animation running- this is what causes the battery to drain. All you have to do is power up the phone at least to boot then it is ok to turn off. You can confirm it worked by touching the power button again and not see the charge animation. Hope this helps.
Wow thanks so much for the reply and help! I've got it working now and I guess I'll just avoid it by not letting it die lol
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
well...
If you let it die all the way, its not a big deal. Plug it in, hold down the volume down button and the power button for 15 seconds, then it will work fine.
Threads like this makes this forum so great. Another potential problem to be avoided when using the phone.

I could use some help guys, if this thread isn't too old. I've searched high and low to the answer here and nothing is working. I've tried download mode, fastboot, recovery, reset, holding power down, plugging it in and unplugging it. I've pulled the plate off of the battery, tried LGNPST, drivers, etc. No go on anything.
The phone is still dead, and will not turn on. The best I've gotten is a solid red light after holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then after about 3-5 seconds it resumes flashing (alternating between the red light and the key buttons). If I continue holding the power button down it will repeat this, showing solid red and then reverting to flashing.
I can not get the screen to display anything, not even the charging animation, and none of my computers will even recognize the device. I've been messing with it all day and I'm stuck. If anyone can help me, at all, please do. I hate going to Sprint. Anything but that, please.

Don't know what to say when looking at the black cold silent phone i used to like most....
Some body, please help!
I've searched the forums of XDA and I've scoured the internet via google search and found nothing pertinent to my situation so I hope you guys can help! It seems I've hard-bricked my month-old HTC One. Never dropped it or got it wet.. Never even rooted or unlocked the bootloader.. it's completely stock. (I've been waiting very patiently for that 4.2.2 update to roll out for AT&T)
It just went completely dead earlier tonight as I was browsing the Play Store. I've tried to perform a reset by pressing the power button and down volume, but even after a full 60 seconds.. nothing. I've plugged it in the wall and no light comes up in the speaker grill. I've plugged it into my computer and nothing shows up.
Is there any way to fix this through ADB? Is there way to recover my data using ADB or some data recovery program on PC (or Linux)? Or is my best option to just take it back to the AT&T store and start anew? Thank you for your time/help XDA peeps!

Does any lights on the buttons come on ? Will the red light in the speaker grill come on connected to the charger?
I have read somewhere if you put the phone under bright lights then try to boot into the bootloader it will work, Sounds crazy I know but it works for some. Past experience on the HTC is if the battery is super low , like down to 30 % or less it wont come on. Have you tried to connect to a charger and leave it for a few hours then try ?

Nope, nothing.. No lights in the speaker grill at all when plugged in. I came across that light sensor trick and held my phone a foot away from vanity lights in the bathroom (should be bright enough right?) and tried to boot into the bootloader.. nothing. My battery was at about 60% when it did this last night. I tweeted HTCUSA and they told me to do a similar thing (put it on wall charger for a couple hours) and yep still nothing.

I know this sounds stupid, but is the cable good ? The one that came with the phone and charger? Have you tried other cables? Do you have adb set up right on the PC? Tried any adb commands to boot to bootloader? Last resort I can come up with. Have you run an RUU for your model and carrier?
same prob as OP
this same thing is what i am having a problem with this is the second time it has happened to me the first time it froze and i held the power button to turn it off and after about 10 min of holding various button combos it finally came on after holding the power button for a good 5 min.

Usually for the HTC ( well my experience). Holding the power button with the volume down button at the same time for an extended time, the lights at the bottom will flash for about 13 times continue holding the volume down button and release the power button. It should boot into the bootloader. From there, reboot, boot recovery or boot fastboot. IF this doesn't work, I have read in the posts here to hold the sensors under bright light and do the power down and volume down . If just rebooting the phone only hold the power button down. The lights on the bottom will still flash about 13 times and the phone will vibrate then release the button and it should reboot.
If the adb is working there is a mod called Regaw ModRebooter, which when installed sits quietly on the task bar or hidden icons. Just clicking will reboot to bootloader, recovery or reboot or power off the phone. I find this easier than using the buttons or just use ADB commands. Phone must be plugged in to PC to work though

Did you try with a different cabled ... just to rule that out.
i have an evo v 3d through virgin. on my lunch break i went to use my phone and screen wouldnt come on. thought battey might be dead. when i plugged it in light would blink instead of staying on steady to show it was charging. wouldnt connect to comp. either. i thought it might be: battery so i put new battery in and let it charge overnight. The screen still dont work. It vibrates still and buttons on bottom of screen light up but the screen remains dark. I tried to do a reset by holding down the volume down button and holding the power button at the same time but that didn't work. any ideas on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Did the charging led ever stay solid or turn green?
Are you s off
Custom ROM / recovery?
Try taking your SD card out and then boot to bootloader, hold volume down and press power

with the new battery i can get the phone to charge. light is on when charging green when full and i can power up and guess where to swype to unlock. it rings to tell me i have new notifications but the whole time screen is dark just buttons at bottom light up. i tried holding volume down and powering on but that didnt do anything nor did taking out the mini sd card. no custom ROM or anything. should all be like was when i purchased phone new.
When you hold volume down and press power does the phone vibrate or do the lights on the cap buttons turn on?
