Hello.
I have a SLCD PVT3 HTC Desire
S-OFF, HBOOT 0.93 Data++, InsertCoin 1.08 stable, 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 radio
I was shooting a video with my phone, battery was about 40% when I started, I recorded maybe 5minutes. Then suddenly phone shutdown, I try to reboot, it won't so I suspect it just ran out of battery.
I put it on charger, orange led lights up and I go for a cigarette. Come back 10minutes after and I try to power on, it won't, orange led disappears and nothing happens.
I remove battery, try to boot=no work.
I remove battery, plug in ac charger, phone flashes green and orange led one after another and when I try to power on it won't.
I remove the charger cord and put battery back, try to power it, no work.
I plug in charger cord, orange led comes, I try to power it on, led disappears and phone will not boot.
Then I take charger cord off and remove battery and put battery back, and charger cord back, orange led comes.
I leave it there since it looks like it's charging, an hour or 1½ I come back and there is green led and I try to power on but to no avail.
vol down+power and back+power doesn't work.
So I can't get to fastboot/bootloader/recovery/or boot the phone.
And it doesn't even vibrate when I try to power it.
Is it totally dead?? Help?
Warranty still in place?

Have you check the battery? the desire does not power up when there is no battery even when on plugged into AC. so it is possible for a faulty battery could make the phone not turn on and not charge.
Yeah, I do have warranty on this thing.
Since the phone won't even power up, is there a way the repair place is gonna find out that the phone is s-off, rooted and has custom rom on it and custom splash screen?
If I could even get the phone to fastboot I could undo all of that but blargh not even that.
Do you really think it would be the battery fault? :S
I don't have a spare battery so I can't try that.
When I connect the charger to the phone while the battery is in, the orange light comes up so it should be charging it.
I don't even have a multimeter to try and see if the battery is dead.
it is possibility that it could be the battery..or maybe even the charging circuitry on the phone. there is no way to say for sure. I am only offering a suggestion.
since you can't even get into the recovery or bootloader. this does not sound like a software issue

Only way is if your friend has desire, or you can buy my new battery, charged only once! Ha
But they probably won't even try and boot it and will probably change it.

Almost exact same thing happened to me. Desire died for no reason, and it was not the battery. HTC have no way of telling if your phone's rooted if it's dead (or I don't think so anyway), I just sent it off and they repaired it for me under warranty Good luck.
Okay, thanks for your input guys!
I'll be sending it to warranty on wednesday.
Hi all,
I have exactly the similar problem with my HTC Desire.
I do not think so it is a battery problem because when it died it has been already full powered 2 hours ago.
How long would it take to get your phone back from warranty?
Thanks and regards.

Completely forgot about this thread.
SCF Repair fixed my phone under warranty.
Yet again they replaced the mobo
I got the phone back sometime around august 25 or something like that.
Came back as PVT4 :cheers:
Also, after I had it for exactly 2weeks, put it in my pocket accidentally wrong way aka screen not against my thigh->boom slcd broken against table corner..
Shhhhhhhh.. argh.
Sat like 1hr on my ass cursing in my mind and occasionally aloud.
After that, I pulled it together D), inspected the damage and only slcd was broken the digitiser for some miracle was undamaged (huh?) ordered new slcd from uk-hitech, it arrived couple days ago.
Was about to start disassembling it, was staring at the void stickers for few seconds-> bah screw it and screeech scraped them off and continued. Took around 1hr10mins.
And as you can see:

Hi i have the same problem, i was listening to music when suddenly the phone froze i gave it a minuet to settle but no response, so i pulled the battery and pressed power and it turned on. it got stuck on the htc screen and was stuck their for good 5 minuets, so i pulled the battery again(intending to hard reset from clock work) but this time the phone does not power on at all! only orange led comes when i plug the phone on charge if i press power button the led goes off but the phone does not seem to come on at all. this happened to me when i was abroad few weeks ago, the odd thing was when it happened first time around i left it for like an hour and it turned on like nothing ever happened and worked since untill today. its been good 4 hours since it died =[. its still under warranty but its been s-off will HTC still repair it? did you find out what they repaired on your one ? incase HTC dont repair i can get third party store to repair it but id like to know what the cause is? and by the way the mother board was replaced by HTC before(it died after 2 days when i first bought it, this is the second mother board)
Hi,
So my girlfriend just got given a used HTC Desire by a friend last monday. It was locked to Orange. Like all android based devices in this house, the first thing I did was unlock all the various bits, flash a decent rom, update the radio etc. and all was working fine all week including the battery dying totally at least once.
On friday, she had to do a 22 mile charity bike cycle for work (chump) and after she got home, she spoke on the phone for a while. Then the battery died. Now it's foobarred.
When I put it on charge, light doesn't come on straight away (hinting usb-brick)
Eventually the light comes on and goes orange.
It then goes green
When I press the power button, the green light goes off and NOTHING happens.
I can't get it to connect to the PC at all.
But since I can't boot it, I can't get into recovery, I can't get the PC to see it so can't use ADB.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of removing the battery, leaving it charging for hours, leaving it with the battery, sim and microSD removed for hours and can't seem to get any life out of it.
The phone looks fine, the water indicators are all still white. My only ideas aside from some catastrophic failure on one of the boards is maybe it's the battery that's shorted itself or something. Does the Desire turn on at all when plugged in with a fudged battery?
Anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Phone or battery?
I'm trying to hunt down someone with a HTC Desire at work so I can test their battery with it - is there any chance this phone could make an expensive paperweight from another battery too?
Thanks in advanced.
Hi.
Maybe the battery, in his last breath, overcharged some circuits and burnt them. But I hope not for you. If the red light/green light works, it means at least that some of the circuit is working so continue your chase and find yourself another battery for testing.
Try and test the battery with a multimeter just to be sure ! Also what about charger was it original htc one ?
Did you ever sort it out?

Did you got this solved? I've got myself a new phone (giveaway ) and gave my Desire to my wife. I could flash another hboot and back to cm7 without any issues, she configured her google acc etc and put it onto charger over night. But it didnt charged. On yesterday morning it then died cuz of empty battery and dont come back now...
Hi All,
About a year ago, I bought an HTC One X from Three UK. I recently came to China on holiday and bought an external battery pack from a market stall. Everything seemed to be going well until one day I plugged my phone into the external battery pack and it suddenly died even though it was on ~50% charge, it wouldn't boot and it wouldn't charge when plugged into a power supply (no red LED shining). No combination of pressing buttons would work, so I decided to get it fixed.
I went to a repair guy in China who said that he would charge me if he could repair my phone, but no charge if he couldn't. He disassembled my phone but was unable to fix my phone. He said the problem was that the motherboard was 'burnt' (I'm not sure if the literal translation is correct), and that it would cost 70% of the original phone's value to repair (although he could be wrong about my motherboard being dead)
Now my dilemma is this: I'm not sure if I should send it to Three UK or ask another cheap repair shop in the UK. The problem with sending it to Three UK is I'm not sure whether they will repair it or not - my phone is completely dead and I don't know whether they will count that as improper usage. Also, now that my phone has been opened, will the repair center be able to tell that my phone has been opened before (I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to open up the HTC One X) and then deny my warranty?
Thanks for any help that you guys can give me!

I haven't but I probably let it charge a while after my HTC One X died. Out of curiosity, why one day? It seems an awfully long time.
I'll plug it in now, and when should I take if off the wall charger? Also, what signs should I be looking for?
Thanks,

I'm hoping for a blast of life. I once thought I hardbricked mine, I left it in the wall charger and it booted up in the bootloader after being in the charger for a day. Reflashed my rom and boot.img and never have i had problems. I suggest trying to boot the phone up after a day or so, if this will not work try and charge it again and acces the bootloader right away. If you can access the bootloader you can flash custom software. Does the red LED show if you charge it? Can't you acces the bootloader at all?
Oh ok, so am I hoping for it to suddenly turn on or am I hoping that after a day or so I will be able to boot into bootloader?
I have not really used it or charged it since my phone died, but the red LED doesn't show if I charge it and I cannot access bootloader

Yes just leave it be, it's all the advice I can give to you right now.. Try it and if it doesn't work you can always get a replacement. This is a weird issue though, I also had a HTC sensation which behaved the same. Left it overnight on charger and it booted to bootloader, then I used a battery script to charge it up while it's restarting to bootloader.
Just leave it on the charger for a day or overnight, see if it turns on
The same thing happened to my previous One XL. In my case I flashed a recovery, had to reboot and the phone just "died". It wouldn't charge or turn on. Not even after charging overnight. It took a JTAG repair to bring it back to life.

Possible fix
Okay, so a while back I had this same problem. My phone turned off, and whenever I plugged it in to charge it did not seem to be charging, odd. The red light was not coming on either. I was told to do 2 things, i cant remember which order so try both.
Option 1:
Plug your phone into your turned on computer with the USB cable and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge using the wall charger.
Option 2 (not likely to work):
Plug your phone into your wall socket with the USB cable and wall charger and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge through your turned on computer using the USB cable.
If neither of these work (as dumb as this may sound)turn off your phone and put your phone in the freezer for 15-30 minutes (This is done to discharge the battery, wont break your phone). When you've left it there for your chosen time, try option 1 again. If that doesn't work, turn the phone off again and put it back in the freezer for the same time and try option 2. If they don't work, i'm sorry I don't know how to help you.

Thanks, when you say it booted to bootloader, do you mean you had to press some button combination and it went into bootloader mode or did you wake up and your phone just happened to be in bootloader mode?
Also, would opening up the phone void the warranty? Because, if so, I'm not sure I will be able to get a replacement.
Thanks,

'Barging'? But surely fixing the battery wouldn't fix the motherboard?
Sorry, I'm slightly confused, please could you explain?

Sorry I meant charging. I found it hard to believe that your motherboard was the problem, but if you're sure that's the issue then don't bother trying my suggestion. That really sucks man, how'd it happen?

I think everyone is kinda missing the point here, the OP made reference to an external battery pack from a market stall which seems to be what killed the handset. Coupled with the fact that a seemingly reasonable repair shop, they didn't charge any money, said the board was dead I think it's safe to assume that the external battery pack was the wrong voltage/amperage or it was faulty. And just in case you do try to charge it, on the slim chance the shop was wrong about the board, it's no good charging on your laptop, you need to plug it into wall charger.

Yes, thank you so much, you are the first person to pick up on that!
I did leave my phone plugged into my laptop for a few hours, but no red charging LED. I also left my phone plugged into the wall charger overnight, but also no red charging LED. Does this confirm my fear that my motherboard is completely dead?
The guy I went to seemed reasonable, but he didn't seem 100% reliable. He didn't have a manual of the HTC One X up on his computer screen or anywhere, he just went straight in, although it might just be me being the skeptical one. I would say I don't completely trust him, so should I go to another cheap repair shop in the UK or just send it to Three and hope they don't notice the phone has already been opened?
Thanks,

Anything is worth a try if it isn't going to cost you money, although I must say I have seen a number of cases of external battery packs frying boards. I would say three would be your best option if it's still under warranty, but the there is a screw inside that has a seal over it and if that screw was removed then they will notice the broken seal, unless they are blind. They look for things like that so they can get out of repairing handsets free of charge. If the phone is dead you don't really have anything to lose. The only other option is sell it for parts

Thanks so much for your advice!
When you say you've seen a number of similar cases, do you often repair mobile phones or as a job?
If I do send it in to Three for repair, and they notice the broken seal, how much will they charge me to repair it or will they even give me this option at all?

This is your second thread on this issue, why not continue in the other thread...I reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44370602#post44370602
To answer you dilemma directly, send it to Three and play dumb as a post. You have no idea what they're talking about...did they sell you a refurbished phone? You're outraged, blah blah.
Or you might try going to HTC directly.
With either or, I would simply leave out the details. You plugged it in to charge, which you did, and it just died. Poof. Gone.

I suppose I should have continued in the other thread, I just thought my post was a bit cumbersome and overloaded with excess information.
Three did send me a refurbished phone when they weren't able to repair my previous HTC One X, but I'm pretty sure they would have tidied up the internals as well (adding their seals)??? They even sent it to me with some blue plastic tape covering the back and sides of the phone.
I could try going to HTC directly, but I suppose it would be more complicated than just asking Three, so I'll do what you said and hope for the best

Well something catastrophic just happened. I had downloaded and installed the one-click full restore for 4.4.2 and everything seemed to work perfectly. Worked as advertised.
It rebooted and started the typical google play updates... working great. It happened to be plugged into my USB port at this time. I unplugged the USB and plugged it into the wall (factory charger) and the screen went blank and alittle hot one the back left side (looking down at screen) in the middle. No power, nothing. Will not turn on... just completely dead.
I have tried the getting into recovery etc etc... nothing. I didn't know if there was another set of HARD reboot actions I could pursue to try to get this thing to turn on?
Appreciate anything..
Thanks
One more thing to add... Im wondering if the battery was completely dead... seconds before, I looked and it was at 38% while plugged into USB... it was draining with the limited USB power, so I was plugging it into the wall for more power when it died.
At this point, I am just leaving it plugged in for awhile... it seems when I first got it the battery was so dead it wouldn't turn on... but.. I think I at least got the battery screen.'
now found on EBAY for parts...LOL
Well that sucks.
You could try a new battery?
Have you tried calling the service department?

Yes it does suck..LOL I could try a new battery, but I don't think I have ever seen a battery cause no power immediately. If it wer the battery I would think plug power would work... but not knowing exactly how it is wired.... the motherboard heats up when charging so it appears power is getting past the charging port..
I haven't called service... I voided warranty with rooting.
If you are getting anything on the screen at all then a usb download jig (cheap and available on the web) will likely get you to download mode. If it does then you can flash via Odin or Heimdall as you please.
There are tutorials on YouTube for how to use a jig (super easy) and even how to build your own (also easy).
I guess you could try it even if you have only black screen too, but chances are less likely that it will work in that case.

My friend gave me his HTC One X to fix (PJ46100) and he said it has been dead for months. After a few diagnostics, and about 30 mins on charge and 10 mins in my PC, it isn't connecting to the PC, I have no word from ADB, the phone itself has no LED light showing, no vibrations, nothing. My aim here is to get it on at LEAST in fastboot/recovery mode. I have never used a HTC One X but being addicted to my 4.3 Desire, I know how the usual HTC fastboot works. I know its power + volume down but is there any other way? I remember my Desire was Power + back button, EVEN though everyone online said it was Power + vol down.... Does the One X have another method?
My mate wants me to get his photos off it, and thats it, its mine
So yeah, any word on what it could be?
Doing loads of research, its a 70% chance of being a battery issue and a 30% chance of the board being dead.
I am not afraid of taking this baby apart so go ahead and ask your questions.
Thanks guys.
(BTW - I may be posting from another account in my replies....)
Hi there, I also have the same problem as yours. No led when charging, not detected by pc, its basically a paperweight. I also had done my research and I can conclude mine is a board issue since the problem occurred after transferring some files from pc and the battery is perfectly fine then. If you believe battery is the culprit, try put the phone in a sealed bag and put it in the freezer. It might bring the battery alive. I have took mine apart and I noticed that during charging, the board will be warm and same goes to the battery. This would suggest the phone is taking the current from the charger.
same problem here
I've revived dead phones where the only issue was that the battery had lost so much charge that it wouldn't charge via the phone's charging circuit e.g. Desire S and One V. Removing the battery and charging directly using another device solved it both times. Got to be worth a go. There's guides on removing/replacing the HOX battery on XDA. Just gotta go carefully!

Hi there dude.
I just replaced the battery, and yeah. Even without the charger, the board went warm for about 45 seconds. Charging does nothing, even with the new battery.
So I am guessing its the board.
Ouch.
This isn't even mine. My mate had this collecting dust since it broke about a year ago and he asked me to see if i fixed it.
His dad wanted some pictures off it, so I guess they are out of the picture (pun not intended, but eh.)
Anyway, do I buy ANY board or is there a special board for this model number?
eBay brings a few up when searching "HTC One X".
Cheers guys for the replies
I had tried charging the battery using the external charger and after connecting it to the board, it became warm and after few hours, it subside. I checked the battery and the voltage is 3v, the minimum discharge voltage. So i can say that the board suck the power and change it solely to heat. Is your htc one x tegra or snapdragon version?
