I just tried to boot in to the boot loader by holding down the volume-down button while doing a reset from android (power button, tap reset) - I know it's not the right way but I was just trying it. Anyway, now my phone won't turn on. I've tried taking out the battery, putting it back in, booting to the boot loader by holding down volume-down and then holding down the power button, but I get no vibration, nothing. The screen just stays dark.
Orange light comes on when plugged in to charger. When I plug it in to my PC (Windows 7) I get a USB connect sound which is like three low notes in quick succession and then when I unplug I get the USB disconnect sound (higher note then low note).
Any ideas?
Phone is HTC Desire X in case it's not obvious by being posted in this thread.
Thanks
Try a longer press approx for 30 seconds

Hey guys wondering if anyone experienced the phone being basically bricked without actually unlocking, rooting or anything.
It has happened before one, just laying on the table and the phone turning off but it came back on after a while.
Today it occurred again but has not turned back on for two days. When charging the only light is the LED flashing constantly every second. If I hold the power button and volume up then the flashing of the LED changes pace to One long flash (1 sec) to two quicker flashing ones (.5 seconds). If I unplug it and plug the phone back, The LED flashing is back to the original constant pace.
When unplugged sometimes holding the power and volume up button initiates the LG logo and then turns off and then shows the logo once more and then turns off for good.
If I plug this into the computer, its like someone ejecting a usb and plugging it in like a maniac. I heard the connecting and disconnecting sounds from windows nonstop like as if its about to blow up.
I've tried holding the power button for a minute the same goes with different combinations with the volume buttons.
The only thing I haven't tried is opening the phone, kind of afraid I will mess it up. Any solutions?

Never heard of this but I can throw a few suggestions out. Try unplugging, then holding both Volume buttons and the power button (All three) for about 10 seconds. Try different USB ports.
Try this if all else fails: Source: http://cellphoneforums.net/lg/t348484-perform-master-hard-reset-lg-optimus-g.html#axzz2YPtvkfDk
To Perform a Master Reset via Hardware
1. Turn off your device.
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the Volume Down key as well as the Home key at the same time.
3. While both the Volume Down key and the Home key are held down, press the Power button.
4. When the LG logo appears, release all the keys.
5. Scroll to and highlight wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.
6. Scroll to and highlight Yes – delete all user data by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.
7. As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Volume Down key to scroll to and select wipe cache partition. Press the Power button when ready.
8. As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Power button to select reboot system now.
9. The master reset should now be successfully completed and your LG Optimus G should restart.

I have no idea, when I plugged it in and check device manager, its constantly refreshing as its connecting and disconnecting the phone very fast. Is there another way to check

Hello
I was trying to save phone, which i get from my girlfrend with words "it doesn't work".
Well, I don't know what's going on. I can't flash it- when i'm pressing vol down + power nothing happens.
This things are working:
-it's vibrating during vol up + power and if i'll hold longer than 10 sec it's vibrating 3 times with RED LED.
This things aren't working:
- when i plugged phone to charger- there's no red LED. Nothing happens.
- there's no SONY logo or smth,
- it doesn't react on power button.
What should I do?
Thank for the answers. I don't know what to do.

The power + vol up yu do with phone connected to pc/charger or disconnected?
Hold the vol down then connect the phone, try the same with vol up.
Hello,
I've recently bought an m4 aqua with a broken screen, but the whole phone was working normally.
So I replaced the screen but now the device won't turn on.
The thing is:
1) No reaction on pressing power button
2) No reaction on vol up+power button and the small button hidden under sdcard slot.
3) When connected to the charger/usb the screen goes on to sony logo (red led) and then to charging screen (green led). Then the screen goes off and the green led remains.
4) Phone can't enter flashmode/fastboot mode. It always goes to charging mode.
5) No reaction when battery is unplugged (also when any button is pressed)
Of course the battery is fully charged.
Any way to fix this?
Edit: It's a broken connector to power and volume buttons.
hi there, just last night i was on my MI a3 . Its battery hit the 1% mark and after flashing the "shutting down" screen it turned off.
I plugged the charger in and went to sleep. I have tried the power on button, power + volume up/volume down/ both. The white notification led blinks slowly and nothing else happens ( maybe battery is low?)
After many tries of trying to power it on and not getting to any boot animation(just a off screen) all i got was blinking leds. I tried plugging it in ,upon which the same notification led starts blinking (faster than when trying to power on), i also did not get the powered off charging animation ,screens off and blinking notification leds.
Ive switched chargers ,verified that this charger works (on another phone) and now im all out of ideas.
Thanks for any help in advance
How long do you keep holding power + volume down buttons? Try to press them for more than 30 secs.
