So I've been using the phone and everything was working fine when all of a sudden it got really slow and then I pulled the battery and since then it won't turn on. I charged the battery completely and then left it out overnight. When I try to turn it on there is a buzz (vibrate) and then nothing. Sometimes the buttons light up. Twice during the day I pressed the power button and it showed up the screen and I was able to check my text message but everything was really slow.
I connected it to the computer and "adb devices" and then it shows up
List of devices attached
HT0*bunchofnumbers recovery
Does this mean the phone is bricked or is there a way to recover it.

I went out for a while with my battery at 20%, when I came back it had drained out. I put it to charge, but when I tried to switch it back on, it refused to boot. On a normal power button press, it would vibrate 3 times and then the red notification light would start blinking. Same thing with power + volume_up. If I press power + volume_down, it would vibrate 5 times and the green notification light would stay lit. Nothing comes on the screen, whatsoever.
I was rooted with S=off, and was using the Operation Inferno ROM (which I have been using comfortably for the past month or so).
I did try some stuff with ADB, such as using it to reboot into bootloader and recovery (same 3 vibrate + red notification light), pushed the Operation Inferno ROM again to the sdcard and tried to restore the ROM from that location (for which I got adb: unable to open file /sdcard/backup.zip).
I haven't yet gotten around to downloading and installing the factory image some have suggested for the eMMC issue (PD15IMG.ZIP) but I wanted additional opinions considering most people with an eMMC issue have been able to open HBOOT at least.
When the phone doesn't power on, neither ADB nor fastboot will help you. There is no device on the other side, so all your attempts went to the drain, and it was expected. Nothing to do with eMMC issue or anything else. Your phone just doesn't power on.
Put your phone to charge, if the light turns orange - just leave it to charge until it's green, then disconnect and try to power on.
If the light doesn't turn orange, or it doesn't power on even after charging - remove the battery for 10 min, press Power button for 1/2 min, release the button, reinsert the battery, put to charge. And again, let it charge before you try to turn it on.
I did charge it earlier (for about half an hour or so) and the orange light does come, but it didn't boot after that either.
I'll just give it a try by charging it through the night and see.
I think a key thing is to take out your battery for 10 min, as Jack_R1 suggested. Then proceed with the charging.

Still doesn't work. I dissembled it and kept it like that for quite some time, then put everything back and charged it for hours. Still the same issue happening during boot.
Connect the phone to USB, powered off, see if the PC recognizes "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. Try to power it on, see if it happens.
If it happens - it means your primary bootloader is screwed, in another words - no repair (actually, repair is theoretically possible, but no guide, no information and no sources exist for MT4G).

When its plugged in, its recognised by the ADB (even when powered off), and I can do some basic commands (mentioned in the first post). When I power it on the same thing happens as when it wasn't plugged into USB (ie, the vibration and the blinking LED).
I'm also worried about water damage, since a very tiny amount did come on it as I was sweating profusely. Although the indicators in the battery tray and on the battery itself don't signal damage (they're completely white) I've just decided to try and keep it opened up in a bowl of rice, just in case, until someone is able to come out with some idea.
As I'm in India, taking it to T-Mobile is not an option. If nothing works out, I might take it to HTC and see if they can help out.
Hi
Suddenly when powered off, I saw that when I plug in the charger, the battery icon pops up in the middle (as expected) the charging icon comes and that's it. It just shows a empty battery with a lightning icon. The weird part here is that i'm unable to turn the phone on the normal way and if I unplug the charger (even for minutes) the empty battery icon stays on and still can't turn on.
The only way to turn the phone on is home+power+vol down and when in download mode, choose cancel then restart.
I'm rooted on a custom rom, but haven't really changed anything.. Tried formatting and reinstalling everything.. Not seem to fix it.
Any ideas?
No problems on mine. Turned it off, plugged it in, got the battery icon with the percent of charge and three dots moving up from the bottom of the screen to the battery image. Pressed the power button for a couple of seconds, and it powered up like normal. I'd raise it with your ROM developer.
Last night I kept downloading some files on my moto g4+ (XT1643) before going to sleep and it drained the whole battery. When I woke up this morning I connected it to a wall charger and after a few minutes of charging I tried to turn the phone on and it came to life as normal. But when it turned on the touch screen didn't respond and went black after a few seconds. Since then the display isn't responding to the power button though the phone is on as I am able to call my number but the display remains black. While i kept both the power button and the vol- button pressed at a time it boots to the bootloader and if i start the phone again the same thing happens. I also tried to enter into the twrp recovery but it just shows the welcome screen and nothing happens. When the phone is in the bootloader it gets recognized as "fastboot device" in the adb shell.
I don't know what actually the problem is.
please help me.
I recently factory resetted the phone. But the next morning when i woke up, the display was gone. The battery was around the 50% mark. But from that day, the phone is not booting up. I tried blank flash but the phone is recognized as moto g4. No sign of qualcomm or anything. When i press the power button, the led blinks 3 times and then blank again. The phone vibrates with the power button but thats the only sign of life it shows. What shall i do???
Did you find any solution for the problem? I am having the same issue.
SOLVED: had display repalced.
Hey there!
I've had this Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL for almost 2,5 years now and this is the first real issue I had with it.
One night I went to bed with ~30% battery remaining. When I woke up the phone was dead and holding the power button only made a short vibration. No image on screen.
Here's the things I tried:
Plugging it in: THe charging LED lights up and the phone vibrates quickly every 5 seconds or so
Leaving the battery to drain for 24h: The phone still starts vibrating when I press (or hold) the power button
Holding PWR and VOL+: The phone starts this vibrating cycle agian
Connecting to a PC via ADB: adb devices shows nothing. fastboot devices shows nothing. The phone had USB debugging enabled.
I did those things with and without the SIM card.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot from here?
Cheers!

Not much you can do. Try opening the phone and disconnect the battery for few minutes.

Disconnected for 5 min. After reconnecting, same behavior.
Will try leaving for 1h, although I doubt it would make any difference. After 5 min all caps should be discharged...

The storage is encrypted. The only way to recover the data is booting the current firmware, right? The last backup is a few weeks old...

Yea, it's encrypted by default. No way to recover it really if you don't boot the device into the os.
Also if the battery disconnection doesn't help, try disconnecting different parts that can be disconnected, like the screen, changing port, cameras etc. One at a time.
As a last resort will be to try to bypass the battery or change it.
I had something similar. I plugged it in and left it for several hours (I think about four or five) and then it turned on.
Mine did NOT vibrate every few seconds though like yours but maybe worth a shot.
Good luck and hope you get it working!
It was the display. Had it replaced and now the phone is working fine.
Thanks, guys!

I accidentally dropped my ROG 3. The screen had no scratches or any cracks at all, but the screen had no display. It's totally black. I can hear the sound and the vibration when I hold the power button. No charging LED lights. PC could not detect the phone. Thanks for this post. I need to replace the screen, and it's really expensive.
