well my friends i did it too. it was all normal(rooted and stuff), and then i turned off device and it wouldn't turn on. my stock hboot was 0.80 and current is 0.83.
the thing is i can charge the mobile but when i press power button red light goes away and nothing happens. device just stays there with no sign of life. tried to pull battery out for whole day but nothing happens when i plug it in, tried to boot without sim and sd card and still nothing. i cant even get into bootloader. Is there some advice or stuff i can try or should i send it back for warranty??
since i ****ed it up completely i recon they wont even trie to repair it and maybe i get another new desire. i loved my amoled screen but if that is the only way then **** it. any help is appreciated
This sounds like an SLCD brick. What did you do to cause this problem? Flash a recovery?

i don't have slcd 100% i flashed unrevoked and all was good for 2 days then suddenly booted with 4 vibrations and dead. mobile has no life at all except red and green light when charged
Is there any life when you turn it on? Vibration? Boot sound?
absolutely nothing.
Try the SLCD fix (or rooting method) with a RUU for Amoled Desire if this not work pull battery out press the Power Button and wait 5 minutes and try to control your device with some Java Based Android.. Android device controller if this work your screen seems to be bricked if it not work your device shall be bricked anyway your carrier should repair it sry dir My englisch

Hey guys,
i was trying to root the Desire of my uncle, it is a german TMobile branded device with HBoot 0.75.
I used the instructions of the third post in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
After that i bricked the display i dont know why. The i tried to unbrick the display using the instrunctions of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
Now i have a Desire that does nothing, no vibration, my computer don't recognise it when i plug in the usb plug, the phone seems dead. The only thing the phone is doing is when it charges the battery, the orange/green leds are blinkng.
Is the phone dead, or can it be recovered in some way?
Unbrick a SLCD is very painful - had to do this myself. The instructions to unbrick are correct. The problem is blind navigating through the Bootloader menu. Sometimes its not responding to Vol-Up or Down at all - so you can't say if you really got to the right point at the Bootloader menu.
Hardest thing for me was to get into Recovery at all. Just give your phone 10s minimum between all steps.

re: blinking: are they on, or actually blinking? when mine is charging I have a solid orange and when it is 100% I have a solid green LED.
Could it be a USB brick and a SLCD brick at the same time?
Have you tried to get the computer to recognise it in either fastboot or recovery mode?
Code:
plug it into the computer (turned off)
vol down+power=bootloader. was there a *ding*?
if not, press power again. you should be in fastboot now. any ding now?
if not, press power again (back to bootloader), wait ~10 seconds, press vol down, then power. you should now be in the recovery screen that would usually have a red exclamation mark in it. any luck with the *ding*?
if there is a *ding* coming from your computer then it can still be accessed from the PC and therefore should a ~relatively~ straightforward fix.

its to do with the fastboot etc having to load the pm99.img files, and that takes ~10-15 seconds. the phone won't respond before it loads these in the bootloader.

When it is charging the red led is permanet on, when it has fully charged the green led is on.

No *dings* no matter what i do.
Any other suggestion?
red? I didn't know the desire had a red LED, it certainly doesnt show up in a logcat on the blinker app.
do the keys light up when attempting to turn it on?

Sorry i mean the orange led.
When i try to turn it on nothing happens, no vibration, no key lights. The only thing that happen is the orange led turns off.

Unfortunately I don't know how much more help I could be.
all I could suggest is trying to flash said fixes completely blindly again in hopes you screwed it up the first time (using a MicroSD card adaptor to put necessary files on the card).
I guess the next option is to try at Modaco if you haven't already, or see if T-Mob can replace (whether or not you tell them the full story is up to you)
sorry I couldn't be more help

Thank you nzdcoy, i have already tried all the fixes but nothing to do. I will buy this jtag
http://www.jtagbox.com/
and try te resurrection option if that does not work, i will try to read the whole nand content of my desire and write it to the desire of my uncle, maybe that will work.
Hey guys
I've got a desire which doesn't boot or even charge. There's no light when trying to charge and the PC doesn't even try to show the phone.
I've tried to charge it for a while to see if the battery charges - nothing happening here. I've also tried another battery. It just seems dead.
Any advice whether it can be revived?
Can you boot into Hboot (press and hold volume down and power button for a few seconds when phone is off) or Fastboot (press and hold back and power button for a few seconds when phone is off)?
If u could get in to fastboot then it can be fix. If not then what knows wrong with it.
cheers for the reply guys.
can't get it into hboot or fastboot. it's just dead. looks like it's completely knackered.
Out of warranty etc, so looks like it's a doorstopper.
Desire doesn't release more than two years ago, which is the time for the warranty -> You are still under warranty. So use it.
Can I still use the warranty even if I've rooted it and put on a LeedDroid ROM?
If I can - that would be fantastic

the fact in the matter is that it is DEAD. so even if you were rooted, S-OFF'd, had a custom SPL, had a custom ROM - IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER. If it's dead, they can't tell.
Go for warranty.
Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem with my phone. I installed Aurora V3 without any problems and after I played around for some minutes everything froze and I pulled the battery.
After restart, only the white screen with the green htc logo was displayed and nothing happened. I pulled the battery again and now I cannot even start the phone with volume down + power or back + power. If I plug it into the pc, nothing happens.
Strange is if I charge my phone, there is no led but the bottom part of the back of my phone warms up a little bit.
I don't understand what just happened, I mean there was no flashing involved during the crash.
Some details:
stock hboot S-ON
cmw 5.0.1.0
sdcard 1gb ext4 + fat32
I really hope that you can help me out! What can I do?
Hmm some roms require s off, that could be why

If you're phone responds to nothing it's dead. Similar thing happened to me, send it to HTC. Don't worry about whether you've rooted it or not, the fact that it's dead means they won't be able to know and will repair under warranty.
I doubt if one can brick a phone without flashing anything problematic. Can you go into Recovery and wipe everything again and try flashing something different? Maybe your ROM zip is corrupted...
Yeah I've doubt it as well, but I cannot start the phone at all. I tried power, volume down + power and I tried back + power. Nothing works!
I took the phone for repair. They said, they put new software on, but I have my doubts that it actually works.
Hello fellow G2 users.. my G2 phone won't turn on ... I had it rooted for a few months running Sense 2.1 and 3.0 roms then last night I tried going back to stock because the roms kept freezing and causing all sort of problems.. wifi failure, fc prompts.. ok, I had hboot for the desire z then I tired going back to hboot for the g2 ever sense then the phone refuses to turn on and there's only a orange light flashing and sometimes stays still.. please help.. I don't know what to do.. when I try loading boot loader volume down and power nothing happens..
I'm not an ace but bootloader should work, how long are you holding the power button? Does plugging it charge it? Is the battery dead, it have you pulled it? Does ADB see the phone at all? Have you checked the guide you were following?
30 seconds.. I held the power button for 30 seconds it worked before.. now it's not turning on or going into boot loader. . when plugged in it flashes orange.. I pulled the battery out and put it back in and nothing happens just keeps flashing orange.. my computer doesn't' recognize the phone anymore.. I don't know what's going on..
30 second with and without holding down the volume down button? Weird, no flicker on the screen or anything? Sounds like a possible brick, anyone else have any ideas?
Sound like you need a new phone.. coz if you hold down power button and down volume for 30 second it should boot up. If not your phone might brick.

What exactly did you do to restore the G2 hboot? Am I reading this correctly that this is exactly when it wouldn't turn on?
a friend of mine tried loading hboot from eng-hboot.. still there's no way it would brick the phone!!.. I don't know what else to do. my computer can't recognize the phone anymore.. I'm trying to use adb reboot-bootloader.. but it says device not found..

Flashing hboot is a potential way to brick the phone. Flashing recoveries and roms is relatively safe (recoverable), but if you flash a bad copy of hboot, then I think JTAG is your last option.
Do you know exactly what your friend flashed? md5 hash, file name, which fastboot command?
I'm not sure what the file name is called I'll have to ask him. What is JTAG?

I am happy that we have someone around with these capabilities, but please get your website working correctly.
Every time I go there and click on a link, it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to come in, rather than fractions of a second - and it seems to do this no matter where I access it, whether home computer, work computer, public wifi or smartphone.....
Not having trouble with any other websites, so might wanna get that fixed
When you connect the charger to the phone if it flashes orange it means it needs battery to boot up wait for about 10 minutes and then try to turn it on with the charger still connected
If it doesn't boot up you have a serious brick
Hey!
I have a PVT1 Desire, running Stock 2.2.2. I was just browsing xda, and put it on my desk. Then, 10 minutes later, i tried to turn it on, and nothing happens! I naturally put it on the charger, nothing happens, no orange light! So i try the battery in another phone, and that phone boots fine! So i try another battery in my desire, and it is not turning on. Can not boot to hboot or anything. Isn't recognized by pc. Anyone have a solution?

The point is, my desire is not just soft-brick. It is a hard-brick. I don't see any mention of hard bricks there.
You have something in my signature (how it works) just go there and see it yourself.

So magically my radio or hboot bricked itself?
Hello friends,
my Desire X was acting very strange, the screen suddenly changed the colors and went on and off for 3 seconds, and after that everything was ok. I decided to turn it off and I did, but now I can't turn it on ... I tried a factory reset. i.e. remove and replace the battery, hold down the volume button and then press the power button, but didn't work. Still when I plug it in my computer, the led turns on but I can't access the phone using the computer since it doesn't turn on. I don't think the power button is broken because it was working just fine before this. I had to send the phone to 3 different gsm services and they all said they can't do it because the model it's to recent and they can't find the software. Does anybody know what's the solution for my problem ? Thanks!
