desire... dead :( - Desire General

My 10 days old desire has already stopped working, today.. so sad!
I didnt do any flashing whatsoever.
It started with a Sense application crash, and after a few reboots things have kept going worse. First it acted like the vol down button was stuck, then after a reboot the menu button and the trackball stopped working.
I dediced to try an hard reset, but before i could do it just started hanging at the white/htc bootscreen (before 'quiely brilliant'). Now it doesnt go past it.
Vol- + Poweron doesnt work.
Back + Poweron enters the bootloader but i don't think i can do anything there.
Right now i'm abroad for work and im just luckyi brought my old Diamond..
I'm pretty sure it has to go back to HTC, but any idea would be appreciated

Why even bother messing - it's clearly not right so get yourself a shiny new one and experience new phone smell all over again!
And if you're from the UK, take it back to where you got it and MAKE them replace it. It's NOT down to HTC to replace it.

No, i'm from Italy, but i'll be in Turkey for at least one more week, so i don't think they're going to replace it. It will probably have to be sent out for warranty

I know what it is, hardware problem.. Your desire's power adapter/supplier is dead.
it can be changed. It happens due to overheating so I guess you charge it too much

how dare you to charge your battery that fiercely!
As already said, don't mess around with it - have it replaced under warranty. It has nothing to do with the power adapter - you probably have a faulty mainboard and they will replace it. It's a well known hardware fault.

Sorry to hear your phone is playing up could you not phone the shop from Turkey ?? and tell them the problem and could they change it when you get back, I'm not sure what the call would cost but at least you gave it a shot.

Desire suddenly turned off?

I've had mine for three days on Voda, UK. Everything has been fine - great, actually - except that this afternoon when I took the phone out of my pocket, it was completely off. I tried hitting the power button, but nothing - no matter how long I held it. I could only get it on again by removing the battery and reinserting it.
I am desperately hoping it is just a one-off, but am obviously worried in case it happens again and I am thus unreachable. Any ideas?
Thanks, in advance.
If it does happen again it might be worth you considering a factory reset to see if any installed software is causing the shutdown.
If it doesnt happen again - problem solved.
There is only one thing you can do really..... wait and see

I still have a few days of 'instant return' warranty left and - as is usual with these things - I expect it to go wrong when my 'no questions asked return' period is up, so I have to wait for ages to get a refurbished replacement.
Hopefully it isn't a hardware issue...

Instant return??? Im sorry,but what does that mean...
Im from Sweden and ive never heard of that here... Is it something u have to pay for or is it like "open buy"??
Just courious....
I had a similar problem today; out of nowhere, the phone just decided it wasn't going to wake up from sleep no matter what. The only way to get it back was to take out the battery, but it made the phone pretty much unusable. The problem turned out to be my SD Card. Took it out and the phone worked again, but the the SD card is toast.

Desire HD just vibrates 7 times - please help

Hi,
While on holiday I put my Desire HD on charge over night (was working fine at that point), but when trying to turn it on the next morning it just vibrated 7 times and that was it - the phone would do nothing. The phone doesn't respond to the hard reset process described on the HTC website and no lights come on at any point (not even when connected to the charger).
The only time the phone does anything, is when you eject the battery and re-insert it. At the point where the battery touches the contacts inside the phone, it vibrates 7 times again and nothing more. The phone has not been modified in any way and uses the original OS from HTC. All the phone does is vibrate 7 times when inserting the battery. Otherwise it's completely dead.
This would, I presume, normally be a simple warranty case (8 month old phone). However, in my desperation to reset/fix the phone, I tried pressing what I thought was a reset button underneath the SIM & memory card cover (with the tip of a pen). Instead of the 'click' that I expected though, it pierced what turned out to be a small black sticker - an action which HTC says has invalidated the warranty on my phone. They have now created a return reference for me, but I'm likely to be hit with a big bill for repair if/when I send the phone in.
I understand that confusing a sticker for a button is a stupid thing to do, but I can't change what I did and I genuinely thought that I was pressing a button on the back of the phone.
Is there any possible solution without having to send the phone in to HTC?
Thank you,
Craig.

Can you post a pic of the black sticker you accidently clicked.. Also any other "void stick" there is
I'd like to know if it is obvious that you tried to open the phone up or not..
To me, if you cannot get into Recovery nor Bootloader, your pretty much screwed, try pulling battery out, insert it back in, hold the Volume down button, and while holding press Power button?

I'll have access to a Digital SLR tonight and will post a photo tonight. Looking at the phone though, it is clearly visible that it has not been touched with anything other than the tip of a pen. There is another small sticker that I found in the battery compartment - this is completely in tact.
I don't think anyone looking at the phone would doubt that the one sticker was pierced with the tip of a pen, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to make any difference. The guy I spoke to from HTC was friendly and polite, but he insisted that it wouldn't make any difference - I broke the rules and that's it.
I suppose the only reason that I'm disappointed is that I've now had four HTC smartphones and I've never requested warranty support before. Oh well... :-(
Thanks for the links you provided. Lots of useful info, but unfortunately I can't find any solution - the phone is clearly dead.
Thanks,
Craig.

Here's the pic. I didn't bother taking a photo of the other sticker as it hasn't been touched or damaged at all. Would you say it's worth sending the phone and enclosing a note explaining what I did?

Sending it I believe is the only way the phone will get fixed. DO include a note explaining what you did but I dont know how useful it will be. You never know though. As the other one is still intact they may believe you and do it for free.
Repaired
I just wanted to say thanks for the replies. I sent my phone in and the repair was carried out under warranty.

Craig.

Lol...thats bad, This might be the first case which I have seen returned because of unauthorized firmware..., Don't leave it like that and read the full document which come with the phone. There will be some wording which might not be clear but should be enough to fight back...
Yep...I think I'm the first person who returned phone back from warranty because of no HTC firmware flashed...As soon as I get my DHD and documents back I'll report what they said.

Yes, if you send the phone in for repair, you will lose everything stored on the device that you haven't backed up. I think this will be the case even if they don't replace the motherboard. Any apps that you previously bought through Android Market can be restored though - you don't have to buy them again.

Hmm.. That's bad news... Trying to read between the lines a bit - Are they saying that they won't replace the motherboard because you have flashed the phone, or because they suspect that flashing the phone played a direct role in the failure?
If the motherboard has died surely they'd replace it? Then again, if the motherboard had died completely - how would they know that the phone had been flashed in the first place?
When exactly did the problem start for you?

A returned my phone to the seller so I don't have direct contact with HTC service but the seller got information from service that: motherboard is dead because of flashing unauthorized firmware/unauthorized firmware damaged motherboard...I'm waiting to get my phone back from service with documentation and then I'll fight back...
My phone works perfectly normal and when I tried to reebot it simply wont boot...it's strange and I wonder how firmware it self could damage motherboard?
Ok, DHD came back from HTC service with all documentation and statement that they will not repair it etc...and it normally boot into OS...But it couldn't boot into bootloader - just vibrates 3 times.So I booted it again into OS and flashed again the hboot and after that phone successfully boot into bootloader .So now my DHD is fully functional I just wonder why HTC claimed that motherboard is broken and wanted me to pay for replacement...?
Very strange - 8 month fault
I too have a DHD - this one is stock standard - got it back from employee today as he said it was not charging (worked right up till then). i plugged it in and got a flashing orange amber light. left if for a while noting would work. finally worked out if i inserted teh battery while plugged in it woud give me a solid charging light and vibrate 7 times.
Seems strange that they are all faulting at 8 months. Mine was an import, so it might have to go back to singapore or malaysia or where ever it cam from.
Checked battery it is at 3.8V so ok.

My warranties over and i've got the same problem!
I just wanted to know if your phone wasn't working at all before you gave it in for service? And when it came back, it was working again?
And be not ready to repair it, they weren't ready to repair it for a fee either?

My phone wasn't working at all it didn't boot even display splash screen...just vibrates.I heared phone services have devices called "BOX" which can unbrick your dead phone.I think they did it with my phone and when it boots they saw my own boot screen instead of stock HTC...so it was clear to them they can void my warranty and offer motherboard replacement for fee (high fee ).I didn't agree for that and phone returned to me unbricked.I just had to reflash hboot again.

[Q] HTC Desire won't boot or charge

Hi! My first post here and, sadly, not a pleasant one for me.
Today I, while charging my rooted Desire (Ginger Villain 2.8, if that matters), launched an app and it crashed (black screen but with status bar still showing). Since none of the buttons were responding, I took out the battery and then put it back in and tried to boot it. I went as far as the GingerVillain logo screen but then stopped the process. Since I was impatient (and dumb...), I pulled the battery out again. On the next boot process it halted at the white HTC screen. But now on the 3rd try it refuses to boot at all. No response what so ever when I press the Power button. Charge LED doesn't light up if I connect the USB cable.
What could I have messed up? Any solutions? I sure hope I haven't bricked it or something... Any help is appreciated!
Can you access hboot or fastboot? If yes, use the last one flash ruu. If not, use the search. There is a thread with nearly the same problem like yours and when I remember correctly, it got solved.
Power + Volume down doesn't work.
The other thread that seemed to be about this problem also involved some physical damage. My phone hasn't been dropped or soaked though.
I will try to get a hold of a charged battery and see what happens. Don't know why would it crash and burn like this considering that I wasn't installing anything. :/
Also some people suggested a while ago, to take out the battery and leave the phone alone for a few minutes, then try to boot again.

Had it sitting for approx. 4h with the battery removed. Put it back in and still no response what so ever. Power button doesn't do anything nor does plugging in a charger. Wasn't able to put in a charged battery because no one I know has this phone.
Not happy about this. And I'm pretty sure the tech support will just end up blaming the root...
Well, try to hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds while the battery is off. It works with notebooks. Other than that, no idea.
i guess mobo is dead, with roor you loose your warranty as well, so if mobo is realy dead you need to buy new phone, or try look on Ebay, but first sent it to htc just for diagnostic, we need to know what realy happend to your phone and after that look for advice

eehh..no.... if the motherboard is dead - so is the root, they won't know, so you still have your warranty.
My phone also randomly died on me once, it was rooted and S-OFF'd, sent it to htc and they repaired it for me. Don't worry about it just send it off. If it's dead it's dead.
in that case you are right, if mobo is realy dead so the root is dead too, yeah
sent it to htc and you will see
Heh encouraging replies.
Anyway, I don't have an official subsidiary of HTC in my country so I'll just bring it to the shop I bought it from. Not sure if they do diagnostics and repairs themselves or just forward it to HTC.
Since I've never gave a phone for repairs, what are your suggestions regarding the SD card? I assume it's fine if I just remove it and bring in just the phone itself. Most of my apps are installed on the card, but I guess I can kiss them goodbye at this point, right?

no, all HTC as that you give them is your phone and your battery. No SIM card, no SD, no charger/ cables. Just the phone itself.
they dont need your sdcard, you should give them just phone, battery and thats all, everything else leave home, i just sent my phone with battery to repair, simple
Bumping this thread in case somebody finds it and wants to know the outcome. I gave the phone for repairs and the conclusion was a broken motherboard which they simply replaced.
I have to admit, I was ready to buy a new phone and now that I have my old one back, it's a kinda weird feeling. I definitely do want to upgrade to Galaxy S II but it's still bloody expensive. I guess I'll just wait till the end of my warranty (April next year) for even better phones to hit the market and upgrade then...

HELP! My phone gets hot and restarts! Please look for more info inside!

Hello dear friends!
HTC let me down Kind of stupid phones indeed at least desire...
I have my phone for quite a time now, it is rooted with unrewoked, clockwork recovery and s-on. I flashed many different roms in the past and everything was brilliant. In a pas half-a-year or so I stayed with only one ROM - MIUI-Au. I kept updating it to the newer versions and so on and on. Never had any random reboot or something. At least maybe it was because of some strange app or something else. But now it started to reboot randomly and constantly!
Phone gets hot abit and it just reboots, and never comes to android homescreen again, until I put out the battery, hold it for few minutes, pop it back and then it boots. But as soon as start to play music, or run a game the phone gets hot abit and reboots again. and so on and on. I thought maybe it was a miui issue. So I tried to flash different roms, but guess what? None of the even boot! The main screen shows and with the same second it bootloops again and forever!... (
Even from recovery it sometimes reboots randomly. So i managed somehow to flash my miui back and it at least boots. But it is very unstable now, I barely can use my phone now
PLEASE WHO CAN HELP ME????
My warranty probably out of date, and my phone is rooted, I dont think HTC would accept it...
any thoughts? friends?
What have you set the CPU max to?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Thank you for response! Appreciate, really!! I didn't set it, I left everything by default I think! Because as i said, i even tried flashing different roms, not only miui.
What else could be? By the way, with stock froyo rom If I remember correctly, sometimes it became extremely hot, but I didnt get any reboots from that. But now, it gets just a little bit hot and it seems that this causes the reboot...
Now what I just noticed, I get reboots even when the phone is idle. And it is not even warm!
If its not getting hot then I'm confused lol. It sounds like a actual hardware fault. Sorry I can't help with this one

try and get it taken back to stock if you dare.
The phone hasn't been out 2 years yet, which is how long the warranty is.
Thank you! But is there any possibility to fix it without HTC involvement? Maybe it is not hardware issue ? Can it be because phone is rooted and I flashed many roms to it ? I didnt try AOSP roms since reboots started, I will try to pop in Cyanogenmod or other and see if I will get reboots.
Would rerooting my phone and updating my recovery fix the problem?
and Note: yesterday I tried to S-OFF my phone, but I can't even do that with my unstable MIUI. It rebooted in the middle of the process..
I had a similar problem, apparently it's not uncommon on the early revisions. I sent mine to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
Thank you for answer! But what if my phone is bought through a contractor?
Can just call HTC and ask the for repair? Or should I contact my contractor first ?
Just give them a call and they will try to help you out. I had a very good customer service experience with them when my desire had some issues.
They will require a proof of purchase though. If you managed to get the receipt from your "contractor" (I am unsure what you mean by a contractor), then there should be no problem.
Sorry for misleading word, I meant T-Mobile. I bought my phone under contract. I think I have a receipt. I even have whole box and stuff of the phone somewhere in my drawer.(just sayin ). So how is customer service of HTC? Poor, good ? I heard you need to tell them that you did a factory reset and that didn't help. Is that true. Also if I will unroot my phone, will they know it was rooted anyhow?
Ahhh....this overheating issue seems common. How they can release faulty phones?? No clue.
thanks for answers mates!
In Singapore, HTC service is really good. Phone was still under warranty.
It took me just one (real) call to confirm a repair order. The first call I was just checking to see what options were available to me.
The second call was an actual repair request. And the third call was me pestering them for a pickup date. heehee
In Singapore, repairs were done via courier. They picked it up and 1 working day later, they sent it back.
Naturally, you will probably need to impress upon them that you tried everything to fix your phone (which I hope you did which includes proving to yourself that it's not the ROMs fault).
You will definitely need to reset everything back to zero. In my case, I downloaded an RUU to totally reset everything back to STOCK, which included removing clockworkmod recovery. You WILL need to create a goldcard for this though so bear in mind that it's not exactly a case of a simple flashing procedure. At least not if you don't already have a goldcard.
Sorry if I overread it at some point, but you speculated at the beginning there could be some faulty app causing this, but you never meantioned performing a full wipe. Have you full wiped yet? Just to make sure it is indeed no software problem.
greets
Thank you for your answers. At the moment I have SuperNova classic ROM. ( 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1) But my phone crashes again and again, it is so annoying and causes me so much trouble.
I never tried a reset or unroot and return to original rom. Im just wondering now, would this help to remove or at least remove those reboots?
Today I was in my work and i was keeping my phone in my jeans pocket. it got hot as u would expect when keeping in pocket and suddenly it rebooten, then it went into a bootloop and started to bootloop 7 times in a row quickly. then again and again. It became very hot at that time.
For the interest, what exact hardware faults causes these reboots and why phone gets even hotter if you keep it on boot loop. If I keep phone cold, the rom usualy stays normal, without reboots. but as soon as I start using my phone, texting or calling for at least 5minutes of using it just reboots.
as I said- really annoying thing :S
I remember my happy times with miui, apps and no reboots Was fun!
cheers for helping!
I would give full wipe / factory reset a chance, and maybe RUU.
At least try it before sending phone to htc.
It is hardware problem, search forum. Fresh ROM without SD card, enabled WIFI and GPS, running G navigation, back of the phone is warm - restart after few minutes.
Maybe someone know how to read info form the phone right before reset? We could understand why the phone is reseting and hopefully add some patch.
Reboot-loop experience
Hey,
i had the same problem over the last few months: In the beginning my phone restarted only when it got hot, but it got worse over the last few weeks, in the end i was not able to use two apps at the same time (music and mytracks) or even to surf the internet longer than a few minutes. The problem did noticeably decrease when the phone was cool - tested by putting it on a fan or in the fridge. Yet, Skype was regularly killing it. As i really love my phone (and especially the AMOLED-Screen!) i did not want to resign. The battery cover contains some metal which is supposed to enhance heat dissipation - so i attached a little thermal pad to the hotter bottom of the phone to improve contact with the head spreader. Unfortunately it did not entirely fix the problem. Yes, it improved the situation a little, but it got even worse after a week or two - in the end i had to turn it in.
So i decided to take it to the Telekom-Shop. They were very kind and told me they would call the other day to confirm that the replacement would have been shipped. It took a few days longer, but i got a phone with the AMOLED-Screen! The employee said it was a used mainboard in a new case, completely refurbished. They only replaced the main unit, i kept the battery, sd-card, charger and so on. Now i have a working Desire again!

Well first U have to figure out what reason cause this. Is this becuz of the software or the hardware? Try to flash another clean and stable Rom and see if your button is working now. If not,well...Go to the prepair store to try to fix it...Cheers
well.. my volume rocker just stopped working aswell, and it is caused by hardware fault.
it is completely loose aswell. and i think i can live with it..
you just have to find workarounds for things like vibration mode and stuff like that.
there are apps in the market that can help you.

i paid 50e for repair few days ago...I have 6 monts warranty jet but my mobile provider sad that he cant accept hardware issues like that in warranty
There are kits on ebay (or other websites) that include a tool to take phone apart and install a new volume rocker. I did this and it now works better than it did before. However, the volume up does not work, only volume down, but that could be due to the fact I may have done it wrong
if it is not a software issue you gonna have to open phone...
check that metal piece(look picture) on flex that is on right place,
and also check that it makes "click" when you press it with a nail or pencil.
if it is not in right place it wont make contact and it won't work.
to place it in position you can try using hair dryer, heat it and move it to center(look picture to see where it must be)
why that happens?
combination of high temperature (in the car during the summer...) and high usage of volume button.
This has been happening to me for a few months too. It clicks but nothing happens, I can't get it fixed and I've flashed dozens of ROMs so it's not a software issue.

To be honest, its just one of the terribly made bits of the phone. That and the sim card cover.

if my previous post doesn't help then the only cure is new flex cable ribbon
(ebay $38)

It works if I press really hard and insist. I can live without it.
