M8 not booting up - AT&T HTC One (M8)

If your M8 dies and when you plug it in to the charger and the led dosent turn red here's what i did. It turns out that my battery logic was corrupted and I had to reset it.
-Hold Power, Vol Up, and Vol Down for 1-2 minutes
After I had done this my M8 booted up again and started working normally.

Any advice would be apreciated

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.

[Q] Bricked Xperia Go

Somehow I managed to brick my Xperia Go. My conclusion from similar posts is that the battery is completely drained. Yesterday evening when it happened, it at least vibrated when I attempted to switch on. If I tried to hold power and volume up buttons, it vibrated once at first and then after some time three times. Now (after being connected to the charger about 12 hours) it doesn't do even that. It switches on red led if connected to the charger and led switches off after some minutes. That's all. I'll try different charger and looking at options for servicing and so on, but more important for me is to understand why it happened.
The phone was charged more than 50% and FXP235 CM10 was installed. I updated it to the custom compiled CyanogenMod 10. It was fresh CyanogenMod 10 checkout (jellybean branch) with bunch of UI (strings) resources replaced and it was the first CM10 compile made. I've used CM9 in the past though and compiling CM10.1 for my Nexus devices every day. The fresh update was compiled on MacOSX 10.8 and some small fixes were made to compile it there. The only change relevant to lower levels than an UI was a small change to fix crosscompiling on Mac. After updating normally from bootloader, I rebooted the phone and it didn't switch on any more. The question is - why it happened? Is there any reasonable explanation how an update can cause it? Are there things I should look at? And so on ...

I can't reboot anything, doesn't matter softly or hardly . My guess is that battery is so drained that it doesn't even begin a charging. I guess that my only hope is to try to charge battery directly.

No. I doesn't vibrate at all if I hold vol+ and power, or just try to turn it on, no matter how long I do it etc. The red LED turns on when I plug the phone into charger, but for 10 minutes only, then it turns off. And red LED doesn't blink when I try to turn phone on. I left phone connected to the charger for 24h and it didn't improve the situation any way.
HOw long do u hold power for I had this problem with my go after installing kumquat by accident i have one of those aswell lol no power led nothing.

OK, managed to restore my Go. Just as I guessed - the battery was drained and because of bad software (still don't know how it could happen) it wasn't really able to enter into charging mode. I managed to get an another Go and used the battery from this one temporarily (there is no need to really remove batteries from devices if you are careful) to reflash my Go. After that my Go began to charge its' battery again as well. Happy end.

Phone won't Power up need help

Bought Elephone P9000 for her indoors, when she switched the phone on initially there was a test screen which baffled her so she switched the phone of and left it for me. Now the phone will show that it is charging and the battery image will show on the screen. However the phone will not power on. I have tried the power button and starting via the Hard Reset buttons and nothing is appearing on the screen. Any suggestions as to how to rectify this problem?
Hi.
Is it possible to boot recovery? Hold vol+ and power.

Try flashing a stock ROM using SP Dlash Tools.
Stupid question, but have you disconnected from power before trying to turn on? It seems to show battery every time I try to turn on with power connected but turns on fine with a 3 second hold of the power button once charger is disconnected.
My phone won't power up, too. It is just showing the elephone logo. Is this the case for you, too?
I.have the same issue. Vol and.Power.buttons do not.do thing. if the charger is plugged in, a green egg timer appears.for a few.seconds, but the phone does not power up/ switch on.
Any ideas anyone?

Does anyone knows if the connector on power button is cut off (the flex cable for power and volumes buttons), the phone will not charge anymore?
The phone stop charging or power on, I opened the back cover carrefully and observe that this flex cable is broken.

this forum is for elephone p9000 not s7.. post questions in elephone forum website or the right xda device thread(if theres one..)
Connect it with a PC through a branded USB Cable and then press power or POwer+Vol button it will show you some messages on screen.
My Elephone S7 shows boot Mode and the cursor keep on scrolling from Top to Bottom.
I think you may have some problem like the same.

Moto E: nothing shown on screen, white LED is blinking long short

I reflashed to stock rom. After that (succesful boot), it suggest to update to a newer Firmware. I agreed. Then it doesn't awake anymore.
Even long press to power there is no sign of life.
If I plug the power, the white LED goes on for a certain time. I guess it is until it is fully charged.
After this it starts blinking: long, short, long, short .. a few times, than it stops
After pressing the keys, blinking starts again - with no stop until unplugging USB.
Is there any hope to recover it. This time I have not much hope ....
In my moto E, when I connect to charger, the white light blinks for 1 sec, then goes off. No long press, anything is working

1. Press and hold power button and connect the charger
If white screen appears then go for next step
2. Unplug the charger once and again connect your charger without pressing any button
3. Let your mobile get charged
4. Then flash stock/custom ROM (search in XDA thread)
NOTE : Don't use stock charger(default charger comes with your mobile kit)
USE DIFFERENT CHARGER
Hope it helps you:good:

Used a Samsung Charger, pressed power and plugged in. Nothing happened first. After a while (i guess I released the button) the white LED starts blinking again. And it still blinks.
I haven't seen anything on screen since this update happened ...
Seems to be really screwed.

No, Power + Volume down (also tried Volume up) - nothing helped.
The only sign of life is the white LED that seems to indicate charging (if it is on/not blinking).
The second is this strange blinking, I can start with Power + Volume down (but only if USB cable is plugged).
But a "adb usb" reports "no device/emulators found"

From my experience the White LED goes on (not flashing) if it charges.
It goes off after fully charged. I keep it on charger for many hours.
The LED flashing only happens If I try to go into fastboot while USB is plugged.

You should try to go into fastboot when the phone is fully charged ,rather than when it is being charged ,I have seen it that behaves weirdly when trying to enter into fastboot with the charger being plugged in .

A question, which stock ROM version did u flash 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ?
I was on Lineage, flashed back to stock. Probably to 4.4.2. Than it wants to update to newer stock release, guess 4.4.4 but not sure. Do you think this matters?

See other threads, u did a mistake by flashing 4.4.2 . You should have flashed 4.4.4 instead. Accepting the OTA, you have hard-bricked your device. It can't be restored as of now. Buy a new device

Mi A3 not booting in any mode, even no notification light on connecting charger

Hi,
I need help with Mi A3 which was running in Android 10.
Suddenly it shut down around 30% battery and was not booting after that.
Unable to boot it either in fastboot or recovery mode, no notification led on charging also.
It once booted into fastboot, but i restarted to try booting in recovery mode for resetting, but it didn't boot in recovery and later not even fast boot.
I tried following
Try 1
Charging overnight. (didn't worked)
Try 2
Disconnect battery.
Press and hold power button for 2 mins.
Plug in charger while holding power button.
Release power button after a minute.
Connect battery.
PS: It happened on the night of the last day of warranty :crying:
Edit: One strange thing i noted is that when I keep the power button pressed, i can hear some mild ticking sound holding phone close to my ear, on intervals just over 1 sec .
Can anyone help !!!

Sounds like a HW issue, so probably only service center can help. It might be cheaper to buy a new phone instead though (especially if they need to replace whole motherboard).
