"It will not turn on. However, the green indicator LED light on the right front screen lights up when I press button or put the charger in;
he told me he was going to root it and put a new flash on it and said the battery died while flashing.
Ever since, I couldn't get it back to turn on. I read around and people said hard bricking is nearly impossible and this might be soft bricking."
I've been stolen my Atrix so I stopped following it, and I'd like to replace it....
Thanks
when my phone did that it was because it died fully and when i tried to turn it on or charge it with my computer it wouldnt let me . Until i plug it up to my wall , then it finally started charging . when i had hard bricked my phone , i would press the on button and it turned green but then it said error . maybe that will help you ?
Don't really know.
It's what the seller says.
I asked him what he has done to get that, still waiting for the answer...
Stupid thought: maybe the Power On button is broken?
he told me he was going to root it and put a new flash on it and said the battery died while flashing. Ever since, I couldn't get it back to turn on. I read around and people said hard bricking is nearly impossible and this might be soft bricking.
Here is his reply. So, what donc you guys think?

Get a different battery. If phone doesn't boot >> it's dead.
REAL hardbrick
I have hardbricked two Atrixes in less than 30 days. AT&T replaced both of them and never asked anything about me rooting or unlocking. I can't post links here yet, so google "Briefmobile unlock Atrix." That's the exact procedure I followed.
It worked at least two times. The other two times, it burned something inside the phone. It wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a USB port, into the wall, and the LED didn't even come on. The guys at AT&T tried different batteries and none of the phones turned on. So I'm on my third Atrix in 30 days.

Yes, but i'need to be sure before buying the Atrix.
Would feel stupid if it really was a hardbrick since i would import from US to France...
And I Also have another battery... The Son of a B**** who stole my Atrix during my holidays didn't have the brain to steal chargers and extra battery while it was clearly sightable... Bitter laugh

My guess is that it's hard bricked. (In some hard brick cases phone won't turn on at all).
Don't you think the person selling it to you tried to do everything possible to fix it before offloading it for cheap?
If you need a cheap phone, get a used one, or a heavily used one. LOL.
What's good in paying ANY money for this phone if it doesn't work and most likely never will?
I had a similar issue after I took a swim with my Atrix It powered up fine after letting it sit for a few days, then I powered it off to put the sim card and memory card in, then plugged in the charger to the phone... It wouldn't come back on.. and a green light would come on when I would try to turn it on... I left it sitting charging for a few days, then 7 days after the swimming incident, right before I was going to buy another Atrix off of craigslist, I hit the power button and it came on! Been running like a scalded dog ever since..
Maybe you just need to plug it up to the wall charger for a few hours or over night... before doing so, I would recommend pullling the battery let it sit for a minute or two, then put the battery back in a hook it up to the wall outlet. Hope you get it figured out!
So I got my Amaze on Friday, rooted and installed Energy Rom on Saturday, and phone just died on me on Sunday.
I was in the middle of playing Scramble with Friends and phone froze up on me. I had to take the batter out to reset it since the power button was not responsive. After I pulled the battery and put it back in, the phone would turn on.
So i read and read and found out people usually bought new batteries since the most likely culprit was a dead battery. I have a friend with the same phone and tried his battery. I saw the HTC Logo come on for a brief second and then that was it, nothing else. Phone died again and did not turn on (under his batter). I recharged my battery in his phone and tried that as well, but no luck.
Any ideas what went wrong and what I can do to fix this?
The phone is completely dead and not turning on. So that means I can't get into bootloader and recovery.
About Phone:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP recovery
Faux Kernel
ENERGY Rom
Any incite on this would be great. Thanks in advance!
Plug it in to the wall charger for 30-45min. Unplug and pull battery again. Put battery back in and you should be good...
Don't be alarmed if the orange led light flashes... It's normal when the phone dies. Be happy you're using twrp and not an old recovery that doesn't have charging while off

Thanks, i actually read those threads before i posted. I think there are more threads about that but i tried all options and none seemed to work. I will try plugging it in the wall and pulling battery out but the battery is at a 100% charge right now (i can confirm from a friends phone). However, if its just a glitch, then i will try the wall charger trick.
Thanks.

Once you get it booted, I recommend 4EXT recovery... But that's just my opinion

Thanks - tried the battery solution but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. Phone just refuses to power up.
Assuming its an official brick.
i have a similar problem, well my battery had charged and running fine for several months, so i unplugged the battery to put my sim on it, and plug it back in when it was booting up it froze on the boot logo, so i took off the battery again so i can reboot it
and ever since it wont come back on, wont either go to the bootloader, so i let it charged all night and nothing happen no led blinking or on, so got my friends amaze's battery to test and it would not do anything at either, right now i am waiting for my replacement, but i hate the fact that this had happen to me
oh wow - well i ordered a replacement as well. I really hope it doesn't come down to a software issue and they don't end up covering the device since it has been rooted.
If the phone is completely dead and non-booting, there's no way for T-Mobile to determine if it's rooted or not. Only until it gets back to HTC to be refurbished could they (HTC) find out but at that point it won't matter to anyone anyhow.
And it couldn't possibly be a software issue. There's something physically defective inside the device that caused it to die.
htc amaze 4g refuse to turn on.
hi all, i'm a newbie here, though i have always loved the XDA. I unlocked my bootloader last night, downloaded and reinstalled my fav apps since i didnt do a backup. while i was downloading the XDA app, my fone freezed and eventually went off. When i tried to get it back on, it got stuck on the white htc screen and later went off after some seconds. It has refused to come on till the time of this post. i really need urgent advice.
I was yet to install a recovery software before the tragedy occurred.
My X10 mini pro has been fully bricked for some time now, moved onto an Xperia U. However, I still would like to see if this is still possible to unbrick.
Firstly, I have bricked my x10 mini pro many times and ended up unbricking it with Sony's official repair phone feature. Now, the brick before my current brick was harder to deal with. It appeared as if my phone eated up all the power from my previous battery and would not let it turn on at all, just red led blinks. So I ended up replacing the battery and attempted to turn the phone on, viola. It powered, but did not boot into the kernel screen (NAA 11 ICS or something, it was quite a while ago) Although, it did go into flashmode that made it easier for me to unbrick with Flashtool by flashing the stock rom/kernel manually.
Now, after restoring my phone to its original state by re-flashing MiniCM9 3.0.4 and stuff, my phone suddenly decided to freeze itself in its sleeping state. Battery pulls and replaces did not help at all, it does not power on at all, period. Can't get it into flash mode at all, it's just.. Dead? I don't know how it happened, the last ever task I set my x10 mini to do was sync and download my playlist on Spotify.
What's weird is, if the battery is low the led will blink red as normal as it should. Another charged battery would do nothing at all. I've taken it to repair shops, no luck. They all say it's dead so I'm at my last resort, the community of phone enthusiasts. Is there any way to unbrick my old fantastic phone?
Thanks.

There is still LED, so I think it is not hard brick. But if it is, you can try to go to a phone technician that has a JTAG tool. JTAG tool fix bootloaders if it is messed up. It is on a hardware level so home remedies is no longer possible. A hard bricked is a litterally dead at all, no LED and no response. In your case IDK if you really have a defective battery. But my guess is you have a messed up bootloader, the hardware cannot communicate with your software because of that your phone cannot boot(not even on kernel logo), just my guess, maybe im wrong or maybe im right. MAYBE JTAG is the answer for your problem.

Bootloader being messed up sounds about right, and yeah gonna have to manually flash it with hardware such as the JTAG tool as you mentioned. Bah, thanks for the reply.
So ive been using JMT since the v8 and ive never had a problem before. One night i decided to get the X1 and everything seemed to well..the next day i was chargin my phone and i noticed that the phone was off, the chargitng icon was not showing.
I turned to phone on and it would go halfway the splash screen and then it would go black.. then it would start vibrating the way it vibrates when u turn the phone on and it just does that. I tried doing a battery pull but everything that i put in the battery the phone turns on automaticly.
Ive tried going to recovery but it just wont go in. PC doesnt detect the phone and it looks like theres a 5 second gap before the phone does the same hthing over and over.
I dont know what to do because the phone doesnt let me do anything.No recovery,no nothing.
could somebody help me please?
what can i do!? any other ways to totally erase the whole phone! even if i have to fry the motherboard so i could get a replacement lol! but i dont want to do that tho that would be my last solution
it looks like you may need a jtag to fix the phone, it seems that the X1 may have bricked your phone.
