How to revive an unresponsive HTC One (or any Android smartphone)


It might be because you overdrained the battery, or the phone just went too hot and discharged itself... for whatever reason, your dear smartphone just went into coma and you're desperate to keep it alive. You used the charger, kept pressing the start button, plugged it to the computer, shook it, shouted at it... but na-da...you feel like it's time to send it to the phone doctor or worst case scenario... funeral (RIP phone) *sob*

But wait, you haven't done CPR yet. So for us noobs, here's some simple steps to revive your HTC One... or whatever Android phone you have (It might work too, right?)

Basic reminder!
  • While doing these, better put the phone in charge mode just in case your battery's totally dead. 
  • Ideally, it's better to charge it to the main outlet for more efficient energy, but in this case I suggest you plug it to the computer to easily detect its responsiveness
