I was using my phone normally and out of no where phone screen turned black. Hard reset it, turned on for a brief momment then turned black again. Now It wont turn on, if I hold Volumen + and power I can see the white razer logo but it goes black as soon as the logo disappears. The sounds works and if i touch the phone i can hear the sounds and key vibration. For some reason the phone wont enter the recovery mode. If I press volume + and power it just reastart, if I hold the powerbutton it wont turn off I guess and restart. Im trying to turn the phone completely off to see if i can enter recovery mode.
Any ideas? Dead phone?
I had the same experience 3 weeks ago. i only feel the phone vibrate when powered on or plugged.

did you ever figure out how to fix it? My daughters is doing this exact thing and won't go into recovery mode. All I can get is fastboot mode but its locked so I can't wipe or flash anything.

Hi there
I updated my phone to jellybean yesterday i am with tmobile uk , the phone worked fine after this everything seemed to install ok.
until a hour ago, i got a phone call answered it, then hung up, i put my phone in my pocket, next time i took it out the phone was locked on the boot page the white screen with htc logo on, i tried to power it off and the the 3 buttons on the bottom of phone started to flash white for 10 seconds then phone swithed off. the phone wont turn back on, it wont charge, tried usb to computer no lights nothing. the phone was fully charged when it switched off. my phones a standard one never touched bootloader etc
i spoke to htc they think its software problem, they say when i downloaded jellybean i used 3g not wifi (my fault) this could have caused the problem as there could of been a drop in signal they tell me.
the problem i have they want 210 pound to fix and they say its not under warranty as i have had the screen replaced, but not by htc voiding the warranty.
Can anyone here give me some advice or help to fix my phone please.
thanks

Can you enter the bootloader by holding the power button and the volume - button together, keep them pressed until it enters the bootloader.

So earlier yesterday I was on my phone (T-999 S3, rooted, PAC-man rom) when suddenly the screen just went black and my phone turned off. It didn't even reboot, it just stayed off.
I thought it was a little odd, so I tried to turn it back on and it would get to the logo screen and the screen would go black and the phone would shut off, and it wouldn't reboot like in other cases.
I tried to go into recovery but it would turn off after the logo popped up, I cant even get into download mode because after I press volume up to initiate download mode, it turns off. Ive owned this phone for about 13 months and this has never happened to me before. What should I do?

This is an issue with the power button, which is exactly what I'm working on right now for my wife's phone. I ordered the button and received it a couple days ago. About to install it now.
Good way to test is remove the battery, then put it back. If it tries to turn on by itself, then it's almost certain it's the power button.
Let us know how easy the replacement goes in! Good luck on it!

I just rooted and S-off my HTC via rumrunner.
No flash roms install or custom recovery installed.
I wanted to see if I still had CWM from my last root (I returned to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216&highlight=s-on.
So I went into the bootloader or fastboot (I don't remember) and hit recovery. This did not send me to a CWM, but it appeared to be the stock version of recovery. The process took too long (I know impatient) so I turned it off via power button + volume down.
Now I come to you in need, my phone is constantly turning off/on only displaying the green htc text, no red text, then pausing for 8 seconds, then off again to black screen. The whole process lasts 12 seconds, and this had been going on for about 10-15 min atm.
Plugging it in, my computer does not have the time to recognize it with adb, or fastboot.
I cannot use the power button + volume down to go into bootloader, and pressing the power button does nothing.
Please help me.
So the problem still persists and I assume it's going to keep turning on and off for a while.
I'm just going to wait until the battery dies and see if it can charge and turn it back into bootloader. I'll report back on that.
On a side note in the case that this is bricked, anyone recommend any future phones out there better than the one with verizon? If not I'm probably just going to stick to this phone.

Hold down the volume down and power button at the same time, until the white hboot menu appears.
This may take a good 15 seconds or more, keep holding them down until the hboot menu appears.
Sounds like you aren't holding down long enough. If that doesn't work, try both volume up and down and power all at once.
Then when the screen goes black, let up on the up volume key, so that you enter fastboot via volume down and power.
Then you should be able to fastboot flash whatever you need to get back up and running again.
I wouldnt just let it keep looping until it dies though.
Probably won't damage anything but I doubt that it's real great for the device.

So here's the update.
Screen is now black, meaning the boot up/down process has stopped.
I have tried these:
A. Hold down the volume down + power button for 20+ seconds.
B. Hold down the volume up + volume down + power button for 20+ seconds and let up on the volume up button when screen goes black.
These two methods results in a single boot up to green HTC text then black screen.
I suspect the device has lost most of its power. Tried it for a third time, the device is now unresponsive and remains at black screen.
Now I plugged the usb cable connected to the power adapter.
The device enters the aforementioned continuous boot loop.
I tried method A and B, and there are no results, the boot loop continues. Now the device returns to the low or no powered state.
Now the device is connected to the computer. The same happens as if it were connected to the power adapter.
Method A and B still do not work.
Results: holding down buttons longer do nothing for me. The device seems to have lost power, but when charged, immediately the device enters the boot loop state.
Note: when doing method A and B the trials were done when screen is on and when screen is off, still no results.
Now the screen is off and not connected to anything. The problem still persists.

leave the phone charging for at least 10-15 min on the AC adapter. press and hold both vol buttons then press and hold power for 2+ minutes. after 2 minutes, let go of all buttons except volume down. success?
---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------
actually doing that will destroy the battery. well maybe destroy is too strong of a word but it will damage it for sure. this is a very useful site for anything battery...

I actually tried the 2+ minutes because I saw someone had success with another phone and they said they did it for 3 1/2 min. However it did not work.
Update: Welp, I gave up. I'm going to get my replacement soon and I'll be turning it into Verizon. Really it's not that bad of a loss since I just wiped the phone, only thing is I lost my screen protector and carbon skin

Yep, nothing happened.
Bootlooped too!
Hello I have a HTC Thunderbolt that is S-ON Unlocked and unrooted with stock recovery that is in a bootloop that does now show on ADB or Fastboot. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I REALLY NEED IT!!
Here's the story.
I was playing games in my phone until I slept but forgot to remove my phone from being charged. When I woke up, my phone no longer turns on.
Here are what's happening and current status
- Rooted and has custom ROM
- Currently not detected by Odin when plugged into PC.
- When I turn on the phone, the Samsung logo does not appear. Order of screen appearance is that is is lit up but the screen is still black, then less lit then unlit.
- The scenario above also happens when I plug my phone in the PC but there is no light indicating that the phone is being charged
- I tried the Home + Power + Vol Up or Vol Down combination but the phone does not reset. Recovery or download mode does not show up.
Can anyone help on what happened?
Regards,
Cedrick
UPDATE
Phone can now be detected by Odin. I can flash the Bootloader and TWRP recover. However, there isn't anything that appears on the screen of the phone. Do you think this is more of broken LCD?
Also on the screen, there is a part that is white and this is the hottest part. The phone is gotta be warm when turned on but this part is too hot.

Seems like the screen is borken
So this morning my Razer Phone was all fine until it suddenly vibrates twice then the screen goes blank while in my pocket. I once thought it was just ran out of battery so i left it charging for a moment. When i tried to turn it back on, the phone only vibrates once and the screen turns on but appears blank. Even the razer boot logo doesn't shows up. After few seconds the phone comes back turned off.
The charging port is fine so are the charging cable and the adapter. Power button, fingerprint, volume button are all working normally. I also can feel a little heat on the phone while charging just like usual. I think the hardware seems to be just fine. I've tried to get into the recovery mode by holding down power and volume up button for 7-15 seconds but didn't work. It only brings it into the 'blank screen' again like when i'm trying to boot it up before.
I don't know how could this happened all of sudden, i never did anything fancy to it apart from playing games, using apps and such.
Any help would be appreciated.
There maybe two reasons there is a bug with you droid or apps & services running tho or an app or a mod you installed corrupted your systen
did it reboot in recovery or fastboot
u can try to boot to bootloader on PC , turn off your phone then plug in PC by cable, hold volume down + power button to boot to bootloader .
