Bricked, or Broken?

I've had a G2 for a couple of years now that hasn't been working. I've exchanged batteries, but cannot get anything to boot. The phone was having problems with freezing prior to the supposed brick, and the phone is completely stock.
As of now, I have it plugged in via USB and I didn't hear any sort of notification that the computer even recognizes the phone, my other android phones will get picked up with the power off.
Long story short, is there a way to get into "upgrade mode", or something similar that HTC might have? Something from ADB that could trigger the phone to power on in the hardware doesn't power on itself?
Thanks.
EDIT: The charge LED does NOT come on while plugged on to the charger.

well before i say no can you get a battery that you know works and try this first

Try what? I've tried another battery in the past. But shouldn't the LED come on when plugged into USB with or without battery?

Check that the leads on the battery are touching the contacts in the phone properly!

not always, if it were just a weak battery than yes but if it malfunction in some ways than no. our phone need to send power through a working batt to turn on

well chances are you will need to open it up and use a soldering station to fix it then. maybe someone else here has a good tip for you to try but my best guess is it will be sold for parts

HTC is way better imo charging port could be dead.

Stupid thing has water damage..the VOID sticker wasn't where it was supposed to be, but I saw some pink residue from the sticker. I'm gonna take it to see if I can get it fixed. I believe it's worth it, it isn't the first batch of G2's, it was one of the warranty replacements that didn't have those weird issues.

Take a multi meter to the contacts with the phone open. See if any power is getting through.

Help One X dead (no LED when charging)

Okay, so I'm posting this because my bro's HOX is not turning on & I'm posting this on his behalf because he is about to have to depression very soon lol..
So he was on The Android Revolution HD rom and while he was browsing in his gallery with 4%, the phone suddenly froze.. and
what he did he held the power button for 15 secs until the soft buttons were blinking and then the phone rebooted.
Then the boot animation came but was taking a of of time.. so he restarted again but, this time the phone didn't show the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen at all...(
Now it's turned off or maybe DEAD...
He then plugged it in the wall charger and he tried different key combinations (power + vol. Up/down etc) but still doesn't turn on.. The LED is NOT lighting up
Now hes trying to let it charge via usb/wall charger... still no good...
Anyway to fix this??
Btw sorry if it's another duplicated thread but I'm not familiar to HOX lol
Please a solution would be very much appreciated
UPDATE: It remained on charge for more than 3 hours I think but still dead :'( Is it the battery which got damaged?.... well my bro is already in a depression lol... [\B]

i got this every day when i push the battery to the limit,
Charging time with out led is diffrent all the time, sometimes it takes 2min before the red led starts flashing (After a couple of minutes of flashing it turns steady red).

One suggestion I have for you, hold the power button for 10 seconds.
Don't know if you tried already but who knows you didn't.

[Q] [SOLVED] Not turning on, blinking orange LED

Last night my DHD's battery died so i plugged it into the wall outlet and walked away, i came back ten mins later and the phone wasn't turning on, and i also began to notice that the Orange LED at the top was slowly blinking at me, i tried plugging it into a PC but to no avail.
Can anyone tell me whats going on, and where the fault it (i'm guessing its the USB cable)
Thank you.

Happened to me one, scared the B Jesus out of me. Pulling the battery and plugging it into a charger got it to boot without issues

stupid question but did you try another charger?
otherwise its a battery gone dead or a motherboard issue, and if its a motherboard issue you will get a free replacement if your guarrantee is still running if it is a battery issue and your phone is older then 6 months you won't get squat

[Q] Is this one x just gone for good?

Hello, I'm new to this form. Okay so today I traded my galaxy note 1. For a nexus 4 and an HTC one x. I was really excited to see the one x for the first time. The one x is with AT&T. When I took it home and plugged it in the charger the red light on started to flash which I think means the battery doesn't have enough power yet, so I waited until it would be steady. But when I looked at it after about 10mins or so, there was no light at all. Unplugging and plugging back in didn't work. When plugged in for along time it just keeps flashing red for abit then stops (repeatedly). I can't power it on at all or go into bootloader.. Etc.. I've even tried doing the hold volume up and down with power button for 2 minutes, nothing.. So now I'm just thinking it's defective. But before I sent it to HTC to diagnose it, I wanted to see what you guys think it is and how I can possibly fix it. Now the person I got it from said it needed some kind of jtag fix for $50 but idk what this is at all. I'm just hoping to god it isn't the main board that is damaged. The bottom area where the soft buttons are is cracked but it's not serious. Another thing that I'm not sure is normal, is the power button, it feels very soft when I press on it and I can't feel it click at all htc told me this could be normal cause the newer one series phones had soft power buttons. I thought the power button was the issue, but the phone won't even charge. The most I've left it plugged it was about less than an hour, I also saw people saying if you plug it in a computer it can fix it, but Idk how that will solve the issue, I will be going to a friends in the morning to try that though. Anyways that's about all.. I hope that someone can help me with this, and If I can fix it I will be sooo happy! Before I go to bed I will leave it plugged in all night to see what happens. Thanks.

Seems that way, if it does not turn on after hours on charge. And all button combinations don't work either.....then yeah, nothing you can do really.

If i send it to htc they will be able to do something to figure out what's wrong right? I mean everything is fixable.
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes everything is fixable, but it might cost you money. If it's not rooted or custom rommed (locked bootloader) then you have the biggest chance on getting warranty.

Hmm. Well is it normal that the power button feels soft and no kind of clicking in it to know weather it is being pressed down or not? Also if the phone is flashing red when charger is plugged in does that mean the port is still okay?
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Well mine has a little click when i press it. Can't say for other hoxes, haven't had that many in my hand.
Yeah port is fine, my guess it's a hardware fault. Maybe the battery itself is faulty or the battery circuit is not functioning the way it should

I've left it plugged in for about 40m and it's just blinking red every 7 or so mins. My power button I'm afraid is broken.. Maybe that's why I can't get any signs that it can turn on or not.
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Well the blinking should be static red after a while. Leave it on charge for many hours (8-9) and then try again some button combo's

So I plugged it in my computer and it said it was in a download mode. And the guy I got it from said it needed jtag repair. Which I think that's what it is.
