Hey all, I have a T-Mobile HTC One (US) that is fully stock and untouched that will not turn on nor go into the HBOOT screen. I've had to do the Power+VolumeDown boot process a few times before and it has worked but no such luck this time. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, had about an 85% charge, I saw my notification light blinking and went to activate the screen via the power button and it didn't come on. Notification continued flashing. I attempted the Power+VolumeDown and the home and back screens flashed too, but no matter what, the screen never came back. Eventually all flashing stopped and it never returned.
Plugging it into an outlet does nothing; the power light never comes on. Holding it under a light and Power+VolumeDown or just Power does nothing. When I plug it into a Windows PC via USB, it'll eventually show as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). I tried the RUU installer in Windows but it never detected the phone (USB error 170). I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04 Live USB right now and it shows up as Bus 003 Device 087: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) but when I attempt to use brickdetect.sh from here, it doesn't detect anything. I can't find any other solutions.
Am I S.O.L.?

I have a problem with my x10i.
I was trying to use the flash tool for 2.1 from binary's thread but I failed and it was still 1.6. It got to the point where it said [finish] and then error message in the cmd. After that I tried using SEUS to update it again, the 2.1 update was available so I tried installing it.
Here is the current situation.
After installing 2.1 from SEUS, I followed the instruction to turn the phone off/take out the usb. After turning it back on, it's been half a hour and I'm still stuck at the blank screen before the SE logo shows up. I tried taking out the battery to boot into Flash Mode but that didn't work either. I was wondering if it was because the battery is near empty, but that's not the case since I was using the wallcharger for another hour on it earlier whlie it's in the blank screen state.
Can anyone point me in a direction for fixing it?
Forgot to mention, holding the power button doesn't turn it off either. I would have to remove the battery to turn it off.
Try a re-flash... use the repair function on PC Suite
the usb cable isnt turning on the phone by connecting to it while its off. i can't boot in flash mode either .
had somewhat a prob yesterday like it, my phone did turn on again. i got an other pc installed companion suite there and repaired the firmware(said it was up to date) and then after the boot i'am @ 2.1
was the other pc a 32bit? because the first time i tried using seus was on a 32bit then i bought 64 bit computer.
I'll try running it on a 32bit computer today.
Okay, so I borrowed a PC and installed PC Companion and tried to connect the phone to the computer. However the computer didn't recognize my phone at all. Perhaps this is a problem with window 7?
I also noticed that when i take the battery out and put the usb in then the battery back in, the green LED light stays on. It stays on until the phone trys to boot itself on then the LED turns off but the screen turns on. Only thing is that the screen is still blank and never went to any of the logo screens. And while the USB is plugged in, I can't turn it on by holding power. However if the usb is not plugged in, and I take the battery out and put it back in, I can hold power and it'll blink really fast for the green LED and then the phone viberates for a quick second (like it usually does when you turn your x10 on) and then blank screen and nothing else. The reason i can tell it's on w/ a blank screen and not a screen issue is because I put the phone under the table (very little light) and I can see the screen dimly lit by the back light. These are the only 2 indication I have that the hardware is working.
My biggest guess right now is that the firmware was F'D during the flash or the loader is now a goner since I can't boot into safemode or flashmode. My other conclusion so far is that while the phone is on (confirming it being on via the backlit blank screen) the usb connection goes off. Perhaps its stuck in a loop? Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?
I did searches as well.
I came across people who said their phone was stuck so they let it drain out the battery on it's own and it unstucks. Some say they waited 4-5 minutes and it worked.
So far the longest I waited was:
3 Hours(And counting) *usb & battery is plugged in but charging green LED light is not on*
or tried to leave it alone for 8 hours without battery or usb plugged in.
I'm hoping someone has come across the same problem and had a fix or one of the DEVS might've experianced this problem while trying to test their loaders/etc?
Nothing to do with Windows 7, I and others have no issues on Windows 7 x64. Run the attached file and delete anything to do with SE and try reconnecting in flash mode whilst running SEUS. Post a screen shot of the program if you're unsure what to delete.
Okay right now I am on the 2nd computer with the 32bit OS that I tried to connect to earlier. However i was unable to find a DEVID that was registered on Nov 1. which should be the case since I have never connected my phone with this computer ever before.
I was unsuccessful at booting into flash mode as well. I would put the battery in. then hold the back button and plug the usb. However the phone would not auto boot like it does normally when you plug in the usb so I held on till it did because I thought it might be lagging, however it still didnt boot into flash mode.
I have a baddddd feeling now
Did you read my post?
this is the screen shot of the program you told me to run. It was ran on the computer that I borrowed today, it was never connected with my phone before.
Thanks for helping me ^___^

No worries, but you'll have to post a better screenshot than that, can hardly see it.
Sorry about that, this is my first time uploading a image on xda.
I re-uploaded via imageshack

Yeah as you've not connected it before there is nothing there to remove, and seems like you've already tried everything. Not sure what to suggest, are you on a contract with insurance?
Nope, I got my phone in USA before it came out in NA. I had it imported via a dealer.
Last night I bought a brand new Streak 5 from a local guy. Box was sealed, no mention of refurb, inner contents were sealed.
I didn't have time to test it and the guy I bought it from said he had gotten it a while back from a work raffle and that it had been sitting in a drawer in his house - I have no reason not to trust that he was lying to me.
When I actually got time to unbox it, I popped the battery in and tried to turn it on. The menu buttons lit up briefly and then when out. The screen never came on. Since then, it has been completely unresponsive.
I've tried to charge it with the wall charger, as well as my PC. Neither seem to be doing anything and my PC doesn't recognize it - even with Dell's software installed.
I've tried to take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger and my PC to get it to turn on.
I've removed the Micro SD.
There is no SIM card in it currently.
I ordered another battery and an external battery charger. They should be here in a few days. I have the current battery rigged up and charging with a spliced USB cord.
What else can I do? I feel like I've done everything "simple" thus far and I'm a little nervous when it comes to utilities like Streakflash.
I'm coming over from the iPhone world and my Android use has been limited at best. Any help is appreciated.
What happens on the device itself after having had a chance to charge?
Does it light up when you press the power button, or nothing at all?
Thanks for the response.
There is no indication that it's charging. The screen doesn't come on, or even flash. The buttons do not light up. However, I don't believe it's the cable or the connector since my PC responds with an unrecognized device -- "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" prompt. I also managed to get my PC to tell me that the device "wasn't plugged in."
I've tried to get some response out of it in every possible combination regarding the buttons, battery, back cover, microSD, and where it's plugged in. It just sits there. No lit screen, no lit menu buttons, nothing.
If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I've installed every possible thing I could find regarding the Dell drivers and my OS.
It sounds like your device somehow got shipped without having all the software installed onto it.
Can you provide more information about the device itself, such as it's manufacture date or any other info on the box/device labels? Devices getting shipped half baked like that isnt exactly common.
This sounds like a legitamate time to use QDL tool to reflash it, but I cant provide any help with that as I've never used it.
Can you use QDLTool if your computer doesn't even recognize it?
The date on the label is 10/12/2010.
If it's displaying as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" that's a sign that it should be able to get into upload mode as that's what the driver qdl tool uses I believe.
It's likely out of warrentee already, so you prob have to fix it on your own if at all.
I can't get it to respond to anything I do. It's very disheartening. I really, really wanted this phone, too.
I'm downloading the latest version of Ubuntu. I'm going to see if I can make any headway through Linux.
I can't get QDLTool to pick-up the device, either. I get an error message when I try to use it and scanning for it does nothing.
Did you install the driver bundled with it properly?
If it still doesnt detect it after that it's likely a dud
use qdltool, you can download it from here
http://www.box.com/s/rj9xd5tl7v5amimbm3youll need to make sure you have all drivers installed though, info is on this forum somewhere,
once installed run the software on pc you should see a big box with "run" on it, click run then connect phone by holding volume up and connecting usb then qdltool will do rest from there
when i got my both my dell streak it was the same deal. first one came exactly as how you described it. I put in the battery, made SURE THAT THE CONNECTORS ARE lined up on the back case, and then tried to power it on. NOTHING.
It seems even if the battery was fully charged, the only real way to turn it on was to connect the streak to the power adapter and then press hold down the on button. WHen the device finally gave me the dell logo, it would just sit there stuck. So i took out the battery, and redid it. Then went into fastboot mode (hold camera and power) and it wouldnt detect the touch screen. It seems that the touch scree was faulty and hence it would remain stuck on the dell logo. I tried to calibrate the touch screen a few times, all failed. Then finally for one time it worked, and the touch screen came back to life. Shortly after though upon booting into the old stage 1.6, it restarted and the touch screen failed again.
So i sent it back to rogers and they gave me a replacement phone. Same deal, when you first put in the battery and the case it wouldnt start no matter what. Only upon plugging it into the power adapter then it starts up. However this new one had a functional touch screen.
1) check out the touch screen by using the fastboot, or stock recovery. If you get error messages, it means your screen is toast most likely and then you might have to open her up and see if all the connections are lined up
2) if it doesnt boot at all, try connecting it to the power adapter first and then after about 30 seconds power it on. You should be able to see the dell logo unless as the guys stated before the software is hosed.
3) if the software is totally hosed, tried to get it into fastboot mode or recovery and see if you can reflash the device.
something like that...
Thanks for the comments, guys.
As of now, it's still in the same position it was in. It doesn't respond to any combinations of buttons, battery in/or, or plugged into the wall/pc.
I'm assuming that the situation it's in currently is what's preventing any sort of legitimate connection between the phone and my PC.
My last shot is a battery and external charger that should be here next week.
My wife has an HTC Thunderbolt -- its unrooted, stock. I wont turn on anymore -- let me clarify that statement.
I see the orange light flash under the grill. That's about it. Ive taken the battery out numerous times. On windows I get the notification the device is connected to the usb port, but I can't get so far along for adb to recognize there is a device attached.
I'm really stuck. Its charged as best as I can tell. Is this a battery issue, a dead phone? I wanted to flash back to stock or totally wipe the device, but I cant even get to that point.
Recommendations?
so what happens when you hold power? nothing?
hhave you tried power and volume up for bootloader mode?
When I hold power - I feel the phone just slightly vibrate after a few seconds but nothing happens after that. With power/volume up -- nothing happens. The orange light keeps flashing however for whatever that means. I'm thinking it has to be the battery. The orange led shows when plugged into the USB port, however nothing shows when not plugged into USB port.
If the phone isn't booting adb will not be usable, however if the computer shows that a device is connected it is most likely your bootloader. I would use the command "fastboot devices" in place of "adb devices" to try to detect functionality of the phone. If you are successful fastboot can be used to flash a full RUU package.
I appreciate all the help. I took it to a Verizon store and even with a new battery it would not boot. I did on the advice of the last post try fastboot devices and nothing showed up or nothing was listed with this command. Its looking pretty much hopeless.
My Windows Phone 7.8 HTC Titan X310e is automatically powering on/off continously until battery dies.
The battery led is not working even when in charging mode (through PC USB or Direct Power).
I charged the battery and tried again and still looping.
I tried to hared reset the device but it goes off before I can continue.
the same thing happens when I tried to access the USB Host Mode.
Whever I put the battery the device goes on (even without pressing the power button) then tries to start and goes off again. then lives in this loop until the battery dies.
The vibrator works fine, the screen as well.
Please help me with this issue.
issue resolved
my phone also having the issue one week ago ,and i got it fixed by replacing the power switch.
Simple
My S9+ was acting quite weird this morning. Some apps continuously crashed or wouldn't start.
So i rebooted my phone (just from the normal power button menu) and then it went completely black.
It doesn't charge (or at least, it doesn't show it charging), it doesn't respond to forced resets and the screen is completely black.
The only thing it does, is briefly show a USB device when connecting it to a PC.
I've connected it to a Linux dev computer i have laying around and i see the following device connected briefly:
VID: 0x04e8
PID: 0x1234
It stays connecting longer if i hold the power button (about 8 seconds before power cycling).
The only things i could find online were some very old threads about Samsung's DNW mode, but nothing from this decade.
I think my Flash chip might be cooked, but i hope i'm wrong.
Anyone got any experience with this?
Update
I've sent it back to Samsung for repair under warranty.
The flash chip was gone. It started corrupting writes and finally it was so far gone that it couldn't load the bootloader.
They've replaced the main board and battery (probably because they tested it and saw it was going bad), that fixed it.
