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

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
Hello Guys!
I have a big problem. I would return to s-on. For that I used adb and the backup of part7. I used the "dd" command on mmcblk0p18..........and now, my phone doesn't boot. I think, my phone was brick. Have anyone an idea? Repair Service?
For any help I'm very thanksful.
With best regaurds
Update 1: After hold Power + Vol Down and plug in the battery, the phone vibrate and the green LED turns on, but nothing happen. By pressing Power + Vol Up the phone vibrate again, but the red LED was blinking.
Ouch.... It appears u dd'd it to death!
Dangerous command that.
Dont know if u had the right partition there.
Can u boot into hboot? (vol down + power)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes, I think it, too.
No, cant boot into hboot.........
I think, I'd use the wrong partition. I will send to service and I hope, that no one see that I use S-Off and root, because the waranty.

It seems you have full radio S-OFF via gfree, because of that blinkied red LED mode. That's a special mode where you're talking to the OSBL, I believe, and in theory there are some recovery options there. However, I have no idea whether it's possible to write a new bootloader from that point or not. So far, to my knowledge, nothing has been posted up here about what you can do in that mode (which might be because no-one has figured it out yet ? I don't know).
Without any extra input on that, your phone is bricked.
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?
here u go

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!
well **** me....
I just wanted to reboot my DHD and now i have thi outcome
Vibrates 3 times flashes orange lede no reaction anyhow
when ich charg it the lede lights up normaly but in intervals its flashing green orange green orrange than permanently again
Was on Blackice rom lightly OC´ed to 1.3 ghz
Well how ****ed am ? there is waranty left but when it´s the platine can thay notice that it was rooted anyhow?
thnx mates

Pull out your battery for 2 minutes, put it back and try to boot. If that doesn't work then:
1) Power off your device (pulling out battery is the bulletproof way)
2) Press the volume-down button and hold it, then press the power button until you see a
white menu screen (bootloader)
3) Try to access recovery (navigate with volume-keys and powerbutton). If you cannot
access recovery then:
4) Download this file http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and put it on your SD-card
root with an external memory card reader.
5) Boot to bootloader again and accept the installation
6) See if it works.

like to do all of this but it dont boot into bootloader doesnt mater if i push volume up or down and power on either way it vibrates 3 times than flashes led.
still... is HTC able to detect a rooted device even if it dont boot? and if so can they deny the waranty
This has happened to me 2-3 times. I definitely think it was because the battery didn't have enough charge. Try charging it for a little time. Have patience.
If its not getting charged I think there might be some problem with your charger, charging cable, charging port or battery.

wll the battery was charged 100% just before that happened - and i tried another battery after this happend - because i was about to install a new rom. so it checks aut that when i try to hboot that its vibrates 7 times than flashes green led (when vol down + power) when i start normaly or when i try to vol up + power its vibrates 3 times
and flashes a orange led ( normaly it would be red but i was on blackice mod)
i have varanty left on that thing and it was rooted s-off when i send it in are they able to see this?
and could they deny varannty?
it was only slightly oc´ed to 1.3 instead of 1 ghz thera was chainfire installed too
Windows 7 trys to recognice the device when i plug it in per usb but cant find the right driver.
thanks for the ideas

That's strange. When that happened to me it was fine when I charged up the battery.
Unfortunately, considering the fact that you can't even get into bootloader and that windows cant recognize your device I'd say you are pretty much bricked.
Do you get the splashscreen atleast? the one with the white HTC logo?
Are your volume keys working fine? I mean were they working fine before this happened?
Well I'm pretty sure that if they can't get to the bootloader, they have no way of knowing it was S-OFF. So they can't deny warranty in that case.
On the other hand, if the issue that caused this problem was indeed an issue that could've come only after someone S-OFF's then they might just deny it.
But I'm pretty sure you can fool them by maintaining that you don't know anything about how it happened.

Nope. Wont work. The computer has to recognize it atleast. In anycase, adb works only after the mobile boots past the splashscreen. And I think he might have already be knowing about adb since he's flashing ROM's.

thats the point ther is no splash screen at all. i think this is a great myth the comunity cant solve by now. i read this a bunch of times many post to the 3 vibrations on boot or 7 vibrations ther is suggested that the mainboard passed out but what coused this if so?
otherwise i saw post on peaople were able to fix this bug and therfore could be no mainboeard failure be possible right?
i still try to figure that out gonna make a pol thread in DHD general because i have some suspissions to this and i want to see if this checks out.
thanks anyway
Just flashed the recovery flashable .15 radio .zip and appeared to have bricked my phone...
Recovery installation looked like it went just fine.. rebooted as normal.. then.. NOTHING.
Orange light doesn't light up when I plug into charger, it won't boot into bootloader or recovery, or download mode.
Holding power button does nothing.
Plugged into computer, fastboot finds nothing (obviously I'm not in bootloader/fastboot).. computer sees nothing that I can tell.
Any way to get back into recovery?

I've managed to get an orange light on now.. even when it's not plugged into the charger.. Once I start messing around with power and volume buttons, the orange light sometimes goes away.. but the phone does nothing. If I mess with buttons more, orange light comes back. Nothing on the screen, nothing lights up..
Tried the flashlight over the sensors+PWR trick.. nothing (never got that to work)

I think I heard something about holding all buttons for a couple minutes.
I'm experiencing the same symptoms. After I tried to flash a decrypted RUU to return my HTC One to factory settings, my phone is completely non responsive. I got the point in flashing the RUU where it typically fails and then immediately try again. As soon as I got the failed message, the phone went completely black and i wasn't in RUU mode no longer. I waited a few minutes hoping it will come back but nothing. I unplugged the phone from my computer and started pressing the different button combinations and tried the light trick but to no avail. I plugged the phone in to the wall charger last night hoping it would register something but nothing happen this morning. The one odd thing that happens, when I plug the phone into the computer i hear the chime that hardware was plugged in, when I look in the device manager is shows "MyHTC" plugged in. Adb doesn't see the device plugged in and when i enter "fastboot devices" it just shows ????????????. Any thoughts or help will be GREATLY appreciated and I'll buy anyone a beer who has the solution!
