My desire had Remix HD rom flashed on it. One day suddenly it shuts off and wont get past the HTC screen. I flash it again with complete wipe and it works fine again. the a few days later the same thing happened
then I flashed it with a stock RUU and it got updated to hboot .93
Now after somedays same thing happens but this time it won't even boot and no response to charging or anything.
Gave to the service center they said if they change a part it makes it boot but it won't go past the HTC screen and as its not from India (its an orange branded desire) so we can't help sorry. If i get the part changed its no guarantee that i can make it work again and it cost 8500 INR .
Now i get back home connect it to my laptop and it responds to the charging! the light turns on but the screen is still blank. i turn it on and it vibrates but screen is blank tried back+power still black screen
Now is there anyway i can recover the device? is it possible that they (the HTC service center people) forgot to connect the lcd back or something?
Send it back?

Today my friend got his HTC Desire, attempted update to 2.2 (I think that's what he tried)...
before the update started, the screen went black. He cancelled the update and hard rebooted the device. Still no luck. there's nothing appearing on the screen at all.
The other features of the device all work, the phone works, and the touch screen is registering input, the reboot key combination appears to work, but the screen isn't displaying anything, and the backlight isn't coming on at all.
Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what can be done to make the Desire desirable once more?
Have you tried rooting it?
is it a branded or debranded Desire?
Can you confirm what it was he was doing??
It's a UK o2 branded Desire, he was attempting to debrand at the time.
We have tried both warm and cold reboots
This sounds like a hardware problem. I am facing the same issue, but it's sporadic. For me it started before I rooted (so I don't think it's related), and the screen went blank with a single pixel width white line at the top. After a while the screen would gradually go green. I found that it fixed itself after either taking the battery out or waiting a while. I'm gonna return my handset after I unroot it (t-mobile uk, locked), but will have to wait till I get back from abroad. I'm hoping the t-mobile update won't be out when I get back cos I want to be able to root it.

he's had it replaced by o2... thankfully he hadn't rooted it before the problem occurred, and they straight up swapped it for him
My friend is running CM 7 on his Tmobile G2.
He was describing that yesterday was acting weird with market downloads.
Here is what he he emailed me on what happened.
the phone was acting normal throughout my day until the evening towards the night, i noticed it failed to finish downloading the update for google earth along with google maps. the phone was fine, and then i pulled it out of my pocket a few times and saw multiple times that it was randomly turned off. i would turn it back on and it would still give me the same issue. when i got home and plugged it in to charge, it would boot and then get to the main home screen telling me that google maps is downloading to update. however the update would be frozen, and a few seconds later the phone would freeze altogether, forcing me to turn it off by pulling out the battery. this happened about 4 times, and now has reached the point that it has become a brick and refuses to turn on or show the charging light
any suggestions on what might be wrong with the phone? Thanks in advance. Im running Cm7 on my phone and never experienced this issue.
same happend to me 3days ago, phone running then freezed... bootloop after batterypull... recovery worked for 2 times but had problems with flashing new rom/backing up -> errors with cache partition...
after 4hours of letting it stay off -> it wont turn on again und wont charge (no LED)
tried it with another dz battery+charger... no change... i wrote htc and they answered within 1hr that i have to send it in without battery...
i guess its a known problem (or why wouldnt they want to have me sending in charger+battery .. if its a power-on problem..)
there are semibrick threads here and in other forums.. but they all don't suffer from the power on problem... so i guess i did the right thing sending it in
edit: never had heat issues, never had random reboots, no overclock, no indication of an update from any app did any harm to my phone, running cm7 for 3 weeks without any problems, no hboot flash, no radio flash ... nothing that would indicate a risk of brick (according to guides & forum threads)... first htc that ever failed for me ;(
Thanks for the reply. I will forward it to my friend. I think he is going to try to exchange it at the store and if it all fails we are going to try HTC.
have any of you tried to boot into recovery? did you have eng-hboot on your devices? go to #g2root
its complete dead as in dead... no LED light, no turn on, no hboot mode (or what its called when you press vol+power key).... i dont have a g2 but a unbranded european dz.. hboot and radio was never touched by me
Similar thing happened to me. My phone kept frozing on me running cm7..was fine for a week though.
So I booted into recovery..wiped cache,factory reset flashed another rom got bunch of erros recovery thing rebooted stuck i n htc logo for like 20min yanked out battery rebooted and it never rebooted back. No hboot,no nothing.
My light indicator still worked though but no hboot or anything.. got a new one now have to send the old one back to tmobile but I'm scared that they're gonna charge me for removing void stickers.
Even though I checked twice that removing void sticker won't avoid warranty according to tmobile customer chat sevice..
So I'm thinking about swiping out the sticker that contains serial number and such on back of our phone with the old one and tell them the new one came without a void sticker lolol
Sorry I got way off topic rofl..

We went to the store today and exchanged it for another g2. The guy didnt ask any questions and exchanged it happily for a new one.
This very same thing happened to me today. Updated to CM 7.0.3 from 7.0.1 and the phone was freezing when installing items from the market. Pulled the battery and the phone was stuck on the boot animation. Pulled the battery again, and now it will not start at all. No charging light, no nothing. Had more than 50% charge, and now it seems entirely unresponsive. I can't use the power w/ volume button technique either, because the phone does not respond.
Seems like somehow I have bricked the phone, or the phone just coincidentally died just after updating to CM 7.0.3? (seems unlikely)
just a short update on my case:
i got the mobile back from HTC repairs.
they exchanged my "mainboard" (changed IMEI) under warranty.
i don't know what emmc chip i had before cause it died so fast, but my usb deviceIDs changed completely and are now simmilar to the ones in the cm wiki.
my current emmc is now:
$ cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
SEM04G

Hi all
I have changed the screen of my HTC Desire (so had to opened it)
I replaced it, re assembly all the phone without doing it fast to avoid to kill some piece of other stuff.
When everything is done, the Desire can be put ON, i got the HTC white screen with the vibration
The phone took 2 minutes to show me a black screen with a phone into a green circle.
I flashed it with the RUU, (fastboot USB works) he rebooted after installation.
Same white screen, and after a few minutes, the HTC quietly brilliant screen appears, but the letters were very very very laggy.
Now, it is stuck on this image and i dont know what to do
I suppose if i had damaged something, he couldnt works no? usb is ok, fastboot, installation of RUU...
I'm scared having killed my Desire (the operation was risky but a really payed a good attention when disassembling and assembling.)
Thx for help
Did u make nandroid- backup before? If, go into recovery and flash this.

thx for your help
as i thought, it was material, not software problem
2 pieces were in touch whereas they shouldn't be, i repeared it and the phone has booted well
This thread can be closed, thx!
Hi guys I wonder if you can help me. My friend broke his Wildfire S screen and asked me if I could fix it. I got a new glass / digitiser from eBay and replaced the screen. All look fine to me so I took it back to him.
It seems since replacing the screen the phone sometimes refuses to wake up when clicking the lock button, or when an inbound call arrives. The phone rings but there is no sign of life other than the ringing noise. If you then plug in the charger the screen will turn on and you can use the phone as normal. I've tried a factory reset on it but nothing seems to help.
I haven't replaced the LCD just the glass/digitiser, and can't think of a reason in doing so would break other functions of the phone. Can anyone help or suggest what might be the problem here? I'm a competent repairer and have replaced the screens on many Laptops, iPhone's and iPad's but this is my first encounter with a HTC.
I believe it is a stock ROM branded O2 - Details from the phone are ...
Android Version - 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version - 2.1
Software Number - 2.26.206.1
Kind Regards

i have a similar problem,
I have replaced the digitizer but the phone doesnt start. I press the lock buttom and the phone vibrates, but the screen is black, nothing apears...
What can i do?
I would like to know...
I've no idea been trying for ages, I'd like to try a newer ROM but can't get the phone in to S-OFF.
I've done the whole HTC Dev thing and unlocked the boot loader etc, but can't find a stock rom / RUU that will flash to it.
And here's me thinking this site was going to be helpful and full of people who knew what they were talking about!

I resolved this changing the screen lcd panel
Yesterday night while I was using my HTC DESIRE 820 my phone suddenly switched off and it turned on by itself only after about an hour...
I plugged it ito charge before I went to sleep and woke up to find my screen completely blank but he LED notification light still shows green( which means its charged 100%) even after I removed it from the plug point...I left the phone like that and returned in the evening to find the phone still in the same condition!
Im panicking! Should I take my phone to the service center immediately????
uhh... YES.
Wonder if..
