I have a M7 that's been running CM 11 for a couple weeks now. Went to bed last night with the phone charging, playing podcasts. When I woke up, the phone is non responsive, won't turn on, only sign of life is a green LED flashing constantly about once a second. The red charging LED won't come on when the phone is plugged into the wall. When plugged into a PC, the PC doesn't recognize that there's anything plugged in.

I've tried power+vol down, and same button combo with a bright light next to the proximity sensor, to no effect. Any help is appreciated.

you ever figure this out ?

you can hold power plus volume up for 20 seconds thats a hard reboot

then try power plus volume down to enter the bootloader

It must have gotten into some kind of hard lock. I let it sit until the battery ran out, charged it up for a few hours, and turned it back on like nothing had happened.
