Desire un-responsive - Please Help

I've seen a couple of threads such as this with no real solution.
I've been happily using my Desire for months without changing roms or whatever (CM7 and s-off) until last night I opened my Dolphin browser and before it loaded the homepage it froze, totally un-responsive. I took the battery out, and to my horror, it was still totally un-responsive. Wouldn't respond to pressing the power button, pressing volume down+power, charger, or usb.
The battery at the time was about 50%, I've had the battery in and out about 100 times now, trying things like leaving the battery out and then trying again, keeping it on 'charge' for a while and trying to get it booted, with no response at all.
This was until an hour ago, I hopefully tried to boot the phone after the battery, sim and sd card had been out for a while and I got a vibration, and then it hung on the flash screen. I had to remove the battery, then tried to boot again with no response, so I left it a while again, put the battery in and got to the bootloader, thought I'd get into recovery and try a nandroid or something, only when I selected recovery it hung on the slash screen again.
Does anyone have any ideas what this is, or how this could be fixed? Damn I hate not being able to use my previously awesome phone!
I apologise for the long post, I'm just trying to give a good explanation of things. I just couldn't see the problem being my battery, only the day before the problem I was telling my friend how great the battery life on my phone is, and that he should give rooting a go and use CM7, this probably hasn't swayed his decision to root his phone.

did you try rebooting it without sdcard?

If you manage to get it running , try to flash a shipped ROM - it should unroot you and fix any software problems . Try taking it back to your carrier as that sounds more like a hardware problem.

you are stuck on HTC screen are you not? Then this is the exact same situation is it not?

"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup. This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS - THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

I've changed the HTC screen to a Google one, but yes, formally the HTC screen.
I will try and get to the bootloader/fastbootagain, only I have not been able to get to that today. I'm going to download an RUU, and try and flash it, although I'm not sure how if I can't get into recovery? Any help there?

Made a noob error there and didn't have the udb plugged in. Got fastboot up, and downloading an RUU, will let you know how I get on, thanks for the help.
Would you advise, running my previous nandroid, once I get up and running again?

up to you, doesn't make a difference

Thanks for the help, unfortunately when I got the RUU downloaded and the bootloader downgrader I now can't get the phone into fastboot! Rather gutted, as I could get it there the other day, now I may have to accept defeat!

What happens when you try to get to fastboot mode? How do you do it? Try to boot into hboot, then press power button and you should be in fastboot mode.

I have been onto them. The response from HTC was amazing, after detailing in an email my phone is dead, won't respond and won't turn on.
I was told, 'while the phone is on, remove the battery and sim and perform a soft reset, if this fails, perform a factory reset, through settings'
I replied asking them how much it will be for them to fix it, they haven't replied! Maybe they don't do weekend!
So if I send it off to them, are they going to frown upon me for fiddling with the phone and rooting etc?

[q] htc g2 not rooted semi bricked boot looping please help

Long story short my friend gave me a T mobile HTC G2 because it didn't turn on. I opened the phone to find the part where the battery connects to the phone came off the mother board so i solder it back on put the phone back together and turned it on. It booted up normal and came to the lock screen nothing worked the touch wasn't responding so i push power button to turn screen off and then again to turn it back on and the screen worked. I tried guessing his pattern five time and it didnt work it asked me to sign in to my Google account when the screen came up the phone rebooted and it kept doing it every time i turned it on. So i looked on xda how to restore it tried it and im not sure if it restored or not but it strated boot looping. I tried the flashing the pc10img.zip from the root of the sd card it usually says something like version to new or to old or something it didn't work. My phone is not rooted and i don't think usb debugging is on. Any info you guys want just ask. What can i do? How can i fix it? Please help

I'm going to take a guess, that if the battery connection to the motherboard 'broke off', then it's possible you have other physical issues such as the ribbon cable connecting the screen/digitizer to the rest of the phone.
If it were me I would have sent the phone into HTC for hardware warranty (which you can't do now since you soldered it.).
Can you provide some specific information about the phone, can you get into the boot loader, and if so what exact information do you have there? (USB debugging would be easily turned on under system settings, if you can get into it via the screen).

Thanks for replying i don't think anything else is wrong with the phone all the cables were fine. To begin with warranty was already finished. "Yes", i can get into the boot loader/H boot. I can turn on usb debugging because the phone doesn't boot all the way in to android. When you say information what exactly are you looking for?

when you first had the phone it won't boot right? but when you tried fixing the battery connection thingy (sorry I don't know whats it called )
it booted and ran again?
have you tried doing a factory reset?
Power button+volume rocker down (volume down button) to boot into bootloader mode then do a factory reset maybe that would work ?

Would probably have to stick to the original Stock RUU update since you're S-ON (would need S-OFF for any kind of custom recovery, kernel, unsigned packages, etc), so would have to use a signed full package from T-Mobile, I don't know much bout that because I usually have my phones rooted and away from stock as fast as I can.
What stock rom did you find before? links?

Thats is the above link i used and i used all the ones that start with "PC10" I rename them to PC10IMG.zip so the phone can recognize it and it did. The only problem is that after it tries to install is say something along the lines of version is older or newer since i tried multiple packages. One package was going through the process and after that it didn't do anything, it didnt say failed or reboot or anything like that. Ive been trying to fix this for like a week and a half now. Ive even flashed custom PC10IMG.zip to see if it could help but nothing the furthest ive gotten is the phone boots for like 2 seconds the screen is blurry and the shuts off and there is an orange light in top right that wasn't lighting up before. Here are the links for the custom packages

You would have to much it to your exact carrier/phone, Just flashing whatever you get your hands on can be very very risky.
For example for me being on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile branded G2, I would grab PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971109
(noting the *.15 is the original radio my device was shipped with, though I've upgraded to the newer *.19)
I of course have no intention to returning to complete stock, but it's usually the only course of action for most people stuck with S-ON (and then would look into exploiting/unlocking/rooting again from there).

Same problem, but desire z S-ON
Hey guys.
I have the same problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed
via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.
The factory reset just frezzes the phone.
The only thing reali seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over the phone. then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.

Nexus completely dead (just black screen)

After switching to a new rom and changing kernel my screen freezed quite a lot. I couldn't boot into CWM. So I tried to install a stock rom. Half way through Gnex Toolkit gave me a "too many links" error. The phone rebooted and than... nothing. Just a black screen, no Google logo, no battery logo. When I hit the power button (with or without volume button(s) combination) nothing happens. Completely dead. I'm pretty sure I'm #####. Maybe somebody still has a magic trick.

Did you remove the battery and try to power it on again? If you tried that does it at least turn on? That helped me once.

I don't think you're in trouble just yet. Read a post earlier today describing a similar situation. I think they were able to use OMAP4 or maybe Odin to get everything sorted out. Search "softbrick" here on XDA and see what you come up with. Sorry I don't have a link handy. This is probably going to take a little time and a lot of reading. Don't panic though. From everything I've read the GNex is Really hard to brick permanently. There are way more options for correcting a softbrick than my Evo had. One thing to check from the thread this morning. Pull your battery out, open the device manager on your computer, and connect the phone with the USB cable. You may very briefly see something like OMAP****. It will abort whatever it's trying to do, but it's a good sign. Means there's still something left on your phone that the PC can try to communicate with. Just make sure you read and understand the guides.

I did what he did last night. I got into fastboot again (no recovery mode, no normal boot). When trying to issue fast boot commands I got the "too many links" errors. Also the screen would show artefacts (strange thin stripes as if the GPU was having trouble). As a last resort I tried ODIN (not recommended, only as last resort, you have been warned!). And flashing through Odin gave errors as well... So still stuck. BTW Now I don't have a fastboot and downloading mode anymore. I think Odin screwed this up. Is there a way to restore this?

So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?

Well I am sharing the screenshot

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?

As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.

Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best

Sorry, i forgot to mention, the controls for the recovery are different from hboot. Push trackball to select items, power is now the back button.

let me give a try and see if its work i installed the rom from Sd card ad restarted the mobile and hoping this will work now

I tried to install stock rom that i have downloaded from HTC Website and that is not getting installed lets hope CM7 will work i can see the ultrabeam revolutionary Logo on the screen right now its still thinking up
