[Q] help Desire HD bricked- not powering

i am new to the Android world. I followed some instructions and tried flashing my rom with RUU setup while the flash was in progress my little couzin mistakenly pulled out the USB cable, the device frooze, then i pulled out the battery. Since the my DHD has been totally dead. No sign of life atall. plug the power cable nothing seem to come on. I need help

Unless you have custom recovery & HBOOT it's not looking good.
With the phone turned off (pull battery out if you have too) press and hold the vol- then press power button. Hold for a few seconds. Does anything happen?
If nothing do you get the LED to blink?

i have tried that, still no sign of life. Nothing seems to becoming on.

then it is simple then. you can visit your nearest HTC Service Centre and get a replacement. your phone should be still under warrant.

Afraid arzme is right. Just don't tell them the cable was pulled out. If you purchased from a store take it to them, you may even get a replacement.

You might just try a story like: I just wanted to switch my SIM card and the phone turned off. Now it doesn't turn on any more.
Just don't mention anything about rooting/flashing/S-OFF and try to appear like a total noob and you will be fine.

[Q] Is my Desire Complete Brick?

My sister has a Desire and I modded it with a custom rom and hboot so that she can use ext3 for app data on SD. However, a week later, she told me that the desire no longer power on. The symptom are as follow:
1. when pull battery, and re-insert in, connect usb would charge with orange light and would turn green after an hour or so.
2. no other keys would response except power. Once power is pressed. Charging light would turn off and the bottom back of the machine would start heat up slowly.
3. No matter what I did, USB NEVER got any signal. (no fastboot, no adb, not even an unknown device detected.
4. No matter what I did, Nothing would come up on screen.
5. I am not sure if it is a amoled or slcd version.
6. the device is S-off.
Could anyone please tell if the device is completed bricked and I cannot fix it by myself? Thanks alot.

I have read it. But I didn't find anything relevant.
I have no screen and no fastboot. Could you please point out where I should focus in the Q&A?

Slowly heat up to abnormally hot temps or just heat up like phone running screen on for 20 mins?
If it is getting hot and nothing is working then their is probably a short inside and it is bricked and has 95% chance of having nothing to do with rooting.
If it just warms up and doesn't work then it probably has something to do with something she did or by chance you had a bad dl or something and it bricked. For you to have no hboot and no recovery to boot into makes it hard to believe it just happened.
Moral of the story is yes hard brick in my opinion. The only way to recover s phone is by USB and if you have no connection then their is a short or your device is literally wiped which is had to do.

It is a bit hotter than idle. But not heating up strongly like short circuit. I tried to created a gold card but I have no idea how it would help.

I cannot. Not even fastboot.
I have tried in many ports and I am sure I have installed HTC Sync / PDA Net / Galaxy Driver, etc...

So you only get the charging LED and nothing else? If you turn on your Desire nothing happens except that the LED goes out?

Yes, only led (green and orange representing battery state), and it turn off pressing power button, after that to have leds have to completly give no alimentation (unplug battery an also usb cable), if I plug on the usb and no battery, led fast blink green and orange...
Tnk U for your reply..

I think it's a hardware failure. You should either get it to a service, or use it as a HTC battery charger

if you hold down volume down and power, do u get anything?

Maybe try this, I mean you dont have a lot to loose...
When your phone is supposed to be "ON" press volume down, power and the optical trackpad (between the menu and the back button). This should do a hard reboot, when the phone is on. When my Desire is freezes, I use this (instead of popping the battery).
I don't think it'll work, sounds like you have some kind of hardware malfunction, but one can never know. What is the harm in tryin'?

Issues with booting (blinking orange LED)

Hi there,
I'm having strange issues with DHD. I've read a few threads with issues like this, but symptoms are always slightly different.
Yesterday, I've connected it to the charger (the battery was empty), and when I tried to turn it on, it just did 3 vibrations and orange notif. LED started blinking. When connected to the USB, the Windows recognizes device as Qualcomm, and further reading suggested that the phone is entering service mode, which is normally accessible with Power + Vol+. I've also found out that volume rocker can be the issue, but in my case I don't see anything wrong with it, it's working and looking like before.
No matter what I did, it always did the same, it won't even go into recovery (Power + Vol-), screen always stays blank, the only activity I'm getting are flashing LEDs and vibrations.
Also, phone is charging when turned off (battery removed and reinserted). I've charged it for a few hours yesterday and the green LED was on.
And finally, when turned off, and plugged into the USB, after few seconds, adb devices will show the device, and after the serial number it says recovery. Does that mean that the phone booted into the recovery? The screen is still black though.
So, the most important thing for me is to find out is it possible to return the phone back to stock, in order to send it for a repair. And even better, a solution for the problem

I believe its a hardware problem, although adb says its in recovery. Any more ibfo you could give us? ROM, how you rooted it etc?

thanks don't hurt ya know?

Take off battery,connect phone to charger via USB for 3 minutes ,than insert battery put battery cover now u should see orange light ,now press power button and voila
It's an issue with the volume rocker I think

Had a very similar issue when I had IceColdSandwich on my DHD, only started when I flashed that Rom, reflashed a different Rom, everything is fine again!

I'm not sure that the issue is with ROM, I'm starting to think that it's probably a hardware issue. And that's why I need to found out how to return everything to stock, and send it for warranty.

Try again it will work .may be leave it longer after you put the battery in like an hour .it should work after an hour press the power button

Thankyou so much after leaving phone in cupboard for like 5 years and forgot why it was on there I decided to plug it up. Then I remembered it wouldn't turn on and I was getting the orange blinking. After following your instructions it's all on again. Have upgraded since then so I guess this is a back up phone now lol

Desire HD won't turn on

Hi guys,
yesterday I tried to recover the original ROM for Desire HD. During the process in bootloader, my phone shutdown, and I can't turn it on now, even the bootloader wont run. I think my battery was too low, even tought the phone showed 99% (it happened before, even though the battery was almost dead), and it died during the update. Basically, I'm not able to access any feature right now, I'm not sure, if the phone is charging - when I plug it in, the orange light turns on, but when I unplug, the light stays on. Bootloader won't start, but when I press both volume buttons and power button, the phone vibrates 3 times, green light turns on, and thats all.
If you need more info, please ask.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You were recovering official ROM from the RUU? This should not result in your device being bricked.
Please try removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then press Vol Dn+Power button and a partial bootloader showing RUU failed or a similar error should open.
Then connect your phone to your PC and again run the Official RUU Setup.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped you. Also click "Donate to me" on the left if u wanna give something in return

Hi, thanks, nothing happens when I push down volume down and power buttons, even after removing batteries. I believe something is actually happening ,but nothing shows on the screen, because when I push volume down and power, and then I plug in the power cable, the orange light does not turn on, while when I plug it in without the combination, it does turn on.
I think that was an official Rom, because I've used it before, and my phone was not rooted afterwards - I did this successfully two times before. However, I recovered it from SD card (pd98img zip copied on the ssd).

Maybe you can try it...just try let the charge is plug in...n leave it be for a hour maybe...don't try to turn on the phone..
After a hour you can try unplug the charge...and remove your battery first...then put it in again...then try power on with pressing volume down+power button..just let see if this time the phone can go to bootloader or not..
Hope this can help..

yeah. I thought about that, but I dont have any desire hd battery here, and I don't know how to charge this one without the phone.

I appear to be having similar problems with it not turning on. when i plug in the charger i get no orange light atall.. if i leave it plugged in (usually within 1hr to 2) eventually it will boot to custom recovery and from there i can reboot the phone and will boot to android. but it does not last very long atall usually about 30mins. have reset battery stats from recovery but doesnt seem to help.
from what i can find online its dieing but can anyone advise on if it will be the battery or the phone itself???
i have just spent $30 fixing digitizer and lcd in the past month. if it is needing a new battery i will proberbly do that but if not it can go..
hope this may help with your problem or any other....

but to solve yours, download one of the apps that tells you how much battery health you have. You might also get a pretty good deal on a new battery from ebay

No i didnt

So, it must be a hardware problem, right now I'm having the same problem but I did flash a ROM and something went wrong
Did you try pressing the reset button? (Yellow one located beside the microSD card slot)

Can you connect to flashmode you can flash ftf to check if its a software problem. But i highly suspect that its a battery problem. i would suggest you to keep for charging for few minutes and then do flash using flashtool

So i left it on charge whole night and then i hold vol up + power and plug the phone into wall charger and it turned on and battery showed 98 % charged but as soon as i removed the wall charger it turned off and then i tried to turn it on it wouldnt turn on unless i plug into the wall so it is definitely the battery?

I think it's about hardware issue.
Send it to service center, I think they won't find out if your bootloader is unlocked, because yours won't turn on
