I think i dun goofed on the worst possible way. My phone is kiw-L21 So i flashed cm13(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67863454&postcount=1877) and gapps and the b330 package so you can get the fingerprint sensor. and than i rebooted and my phone just went black. Did i do something wrong and is there a fix available. My phone wont do anything. it wont even bootloop or anything else. i tried all the button combinations and i tried connecting it to my pc/charger. nothing. If there isnt a fix for it would i be able to return it to my seller and will they notice anything? I really hope i haven't hard bricked my phone

is the phone actually off of just frozen on a black screen ?
to power off hold power + volume up for about 30 seconds
to get into the bootloader plug in PC usb and let it set 5 minutes then hold power + volume down till the bootloader comes up

I tried the 5 minute thing you said and i held the buttons for almost 2 minutes and still nothing. Are there any other possible ways to get it alive again?
So i have tried everything and now im thinking about getting it jtag repaired. It would cost me €40 ($44), Is this too much for a jtag repair or should i just say f**k it and send it to the guy to get it repaired?
I dont think i have got allot of choices left.

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.
Hi.
Today my Z ultra turned off while on locked screen. When I try to turn it on it is not responding and it do not respond when I connect it to the charger. I have tried to hold the power button and both the volume up and down at the same time, and it came a vibration and the Sony logo showed and it turned off again. Now that won't work either. I also tried to hold power + volume up and power + volume down. Nothing happens. When I connect it to the computer, there are a sound on the computer who tells something is connected. The sound comes again and again, but the phone does not show up on the computer.. What can I do?
Os - Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4
Edit: I also tried the red button beside the sim-card slot.
Try connecting it to a wall charger, then press the red reset button. leave it to charge for several hours

I tried leaving it in the charger over the night with no success.. When I first connected it, the light turned red and the phone turned on, to the Cyanogenmod logo and turned off again.. Now it won't respond again..
The other thing to try is to see if it will enter flashmode or fastboot
Connect to PC
Hold the vol. up key
Press the hard reset button

I suspect that either the battery or it's controller are dead, can you get warranty on it? They may not take it with not stock firmware on it...
You could try the rubber band trick:
Setup flashtool to flash a FTF
Connect the phone like normal, but have a rubber band around the vol down key.
Leave for <insert_random_large_nubber_here> hours
It may just randomly flash.
The next suggestion is to buy a battery off ebay and replace it your self

Now there are something happening! I left the phone in the charger for 2 days and now the led light started to light up red. Although when I move the phone around, the light becomes weaker/stronger or turns complete off. It still won't boot into fastboot or flashmode and the reset button does not work either..
Ok, I did something stupid and I'm just going to throw it out there. I wasn't able to root my phone through the normal method, but I was able to get it to work with kingroot. From there, I used the installer to install the Z3dualRecovery and everything was working fine. Both recoveries were working, phone booted up so I went looking for ROMs.
This is where I screwed up.I tried flashing a regular Z3 rom and now nothing boots.
When I hold Volume up and press the power button it vibrates once after a few seconds and then nothing happens.
When I hold volume down and power, it vibrates once after 2 seconds. After that it will vibrate twice every 10 seconds or so.
Holding the volume up and plugging in my USB WILL boot into fastboot.
Holding volume down and plugging in my USB will make it vibrate once, the LED flashes green, and then red. And it keeps doing that over and over.
I've tried pressing the white button next to the SIM tray and it does nothing, no matter how long I hold it.
So is there any hope here? I doubt I can do anything since the bootloader is locked, and I can't use the flashtool to flash the stock FTF since it won't boot into flashmode. I'm going to try the rubberband trick by plugging it in and leaving the volume down held down while it tries to boot and flash the FTF. If anyone knows another option I'd appreciate it before I accept I bricked the thing.

I tried to tell people no roms unless it's for the z3v specifically. your phone is done to my knowledge because verizon locked us out on Sony pc companion and I could never get flashtool to work with fastboot. If you are still with verizon call them tell them your screen quit working and there no water damage and you haven't dropped it.. I'm assuming your screen is black. they will send you a new one under the Sony warranty and you don't have to have insurance on the phone and don't flash z3 stuff or ask first. BTW you might want to go to a verizon store and play dumb and then have them call tech support from there if your phones in good shape you will have a new one in less then 48hours.

The screen does not turn on at all, you are correct. I dont think they would do anything though, since I didn't get it directly from Verizon, or would they? I tried talking to online tech support and they basically said "hold down the white button next to the SIM tray, oh that didn't work? can't do anything else" so I think I'm SOL here.

I would contact verizon if they are your provider. did you buy this phone new or second hand..then contact Sony our phones aren't really water proof so they are taking phones in when the screen stops working...does your led still work
Go online and add total mobile protection to your line right now its $11... Then tomorrow take that bad boy into your local verizon store and tell them that you were taking a software update and your phone rebooted and never came back on. I've been where u are it ain't a pretty situation but if you press and hold power volume up and volume down all at the same time you should still be able to boot into the stock recovery as long as you can get there they can't prove an ota didn't brick you and they'll send you a nice refurb.

he is way past being able to get to system recovery he flashed a z3 rom his screen doesn't even work..I would assume he can't turn the phone off either if it's not dead already.

Nah I've been there with that blinking red and green led light then straight to fastboot. I dont mean TWRP recovery...He's still got his stock recovery partition flashing a Z3 rom wouldn't flash his recovery.img... He should still be able to boot to the SONY screen and the factory reset screen options on the stock recovery... That and fastboot are the only things he can get into I'm betting anyway lol. It's a real ****ty, scary situation to be in.
You can always turn your phone off try it press and hold all your buttons till your phone shuts off. Keep holding them. You'll see the recovery screen im talking about... It has a power off option
Phone is kill, no screen at all and no possibility of recovery. I've tried all button combos, and durations without success. I'm just gonna request a thread close here, pay the stupid tax and learn from it.
i had my phone in my pocket, pulled it out and did some browsing. i changed my zooper widget, clicked the power button to put it to sleep and put it in my pocket. i pulled it out about 5 seconds after i put it in my pocket and the phone is completely dead. doesn´t respond to power button or any of the button combos i have tried (power + vol down / power + vol up) and doesn´t get detected on my pc or in fastboot. i was very gentle with the phone when putting it in my pocket and while pulling it out. i have no idea why this might have happened and it looks brand new on the outside. i was running AOKP and i have had no issues what so ever before. and charging shows no sign of life either, is it a software or hardware problem? and is it fixable in any way? since i live in northern sweden there is no shops or people that do repairs for this phone.

That means your battery died and you're gonna have a hard time connecting it. But it will connect eventually. Connect it to your PC and press the vol down+power button for 2 minutes. If it doesn't pop up then keep trying until it detects it. And when it does.. run the blank flash file and leave the phone in bootloader for atleast 10 minutes it more for the battery to charge, before flashing any rom.

It finally worked for me when I desassembled the entire phone, removed the battery and connected it again. But I won't suggest doing that unless you know what you're doing. And I'm not even sure what worked for me.. it just popped up on my pc after 100,000 attempts :/

I do have warranty from the shop i baught it from (cyberphoto.se). Do you think they could find out that the bootloader is unlocked since the phone is completely dead? Or if they even care?

I work with a phone shop, yes when we send the phones to the service center they will find out if you unlocked the bootloader in official way, even if its bricked. Only on a few dev devices or unsecured/cracked bootloader they won't find out.
thanks for the answers! but i still don't understand why it got bricked... it was functioning perfectly and just straight out of no where just dies? i have read that this has happened on other motorola phones. is it my fault that the phone broke? or is it due to some kind of failure of the phone / motorola?

I today got the phone back from the repair shop. It Said on the website that i would have to pay IF the warranty was void and that they would send me an email so that we could agree on a Price before they repair the phone. But they Never sent me an email and i did not get a Bill with the phone, so i think i got it for free. It says on the note that they changed out the motherboard.
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).
