Desire doesn't start up and doesn't charge - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm fairly new to the forum, and i've read all the related posts about this problem, but all of them sooner or later get to the same conclusion ... warranty.
I've tried to install an RUU (the wrong one it seems) and pulled the battery too soon (i think)... and it's dead, completely dead, no orange led, no recovery, nothing.
The big problem now is i've got no warranty, and i want to resolve the problem somehow maybe one of you found a solution, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The only way you can recover your phone now is to send it to HTC to fix it, or look into getting someone with a Riff box to do it for you.

help needed / auto restarting

hello!
Can anyone help me with this:
after 5 or 10 minutes, or even at the splash screen, my device automatically restarts and does it for several times.
When i try to put it into bootloader mode i see usb,..... but only for a minute. after that it goes out of bootloader mode and starts the OS again...
So i'm a bit worried that when i flash it, the bootloader mode will go out and the device will try to restart.
Any known sollutions to this problem? Any help would be appreciated!!
ps: no answers in the wiki nor in the forum.
thanks in advance to your replies!!!!!
I think your battery is given up or you have bad connection so that you dont get enough power.
Try first to clean the battery and device connections(best to use contact spray for PCB boards) if doesnt help then you need to have new battery
Thanks for your reply.
I just got it back 2 weeks ago and they installed a new board in it... i made them send it back and fix it (i blamed them)
they also putted french rom and AZERTY keyboard in it so they can fix that to (i had englis OS and Qwerty).
Thx for your post, i appreciate it!
Restarting Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi
I have an Orange SPV m5000 that I rely on for to carry my contact address book and send text messages (I know other phones would do it but I really like my Uni).
Recently mine has decided that it's going restart itself every few seconds. I have no idea why it's doing this, but the shop I bought it from are not helping me at all.
I've hard reset the device and that hasn't worked so if anyone has any ideas then please let me know, or if you know of anywhere I can send it to be repaired (I'm in the UK).
Thanks in advance
Nick

please help on a bricked/dead i780

Hi all experts,
I am a newbie on this. I am in Canada, since here we dont have i780, so I brought it on ebay and didn't realize its not really an unlock phone.(been cheated) although is sim free but GPS and many other 3rd party app don't work. so i was looking for solutions and found your thread here.
I followed the flashing guide and everything seems to be ok until the russians rom is flashed. The phone turned off itself and cannot turn on anymore. I have tried holding ENTER and FUNCTION button, solf reset hole, and Start + End buttons to turn it on but it doesn't response at all.
I have spent my hard earned $500 on this phone and i am so depressed now... Please kindly help me on fixing my "not just bricked, but dead phone" or i have to save up for months for a new one... sigh..
your response is highly appreciated

I feel your pain and I had the same issue as you before.
Phone won't turn on after flashing and the mirage reported the flash was 100% done.
I suspect this is due to the samsung modem driver was not installed properly. I had forgotten to do a reboot after the driver install or it might be due to something else.
The way I fixed it was to send to ther service center as it is still under warranty. They had to replace some chips to make it work again and I think that might be your last hope.
thanks for your advise. I did install the samsung modem driver and did reboot the PC before starting mirage updater..... but somehow turn that way.
I brought it from ebay, do you think it can still be warranty? anyways.. gotta try my luck.
thanks tho
I just contacted Canada's samsung service centre. They said They dont have this model here in Canada, so cannot fix my phone.
Please, anyone can give me a hand?
What about a hard reset? have you try it?
try to re load the rom.. i am using HH1 for phone and HH5 for the PDA... works good... with the russian ROM PU (if i am not wrong) i had to load few times as the process stopped at 80% or so... and u can load the ROM from this thread without loading the PU rom..
i have the same troubled too~~

Cash via PAYPAL if you help fix hp6815 deadboot with jtag !! uk.

Hi all,
I have a hp 6815 and i am desperate to fix it.
I had upgraded ROM a few times with sd card fine, then i went to change the rom again and i think i didn't wait long enough and messed up the booting. But problem now is it won't go into to boot loader mode at all, it is totally black with no power.
It has an orange light when charging, so i think the battery is ok.
But i am sure the boot loader is corrupted and it needs restoring with jtag.
I have connected it up with some make shift wires and entered the jflashmm what i have heard other people fix their dead boots. It would ask me first question what i answer then it goes to next question. What is binfile name, i think ! I put in the EBO etc and have tried various ways but it won't register any. I just need help with the commands. I have already copy and renamed file for EBO_a.nb0. I just need a little help, if i fix this with help i swear i will send the person who helps at least 20 uk pounds through paypal, I would be overjoyed !!
So someone with good jtag knowledge and ipaqs would be great.
Also another thing is i'm not sure what the ntrst connection is to on jtag. Is it connected to anything at all ? As the diagram on dead boots shows this but not seeming connected, am i right ?
Thankyou in advance
Please someone give a little help.
Hello,
Please someone help with this. Just need to know about jtag[ntrst] and all the commands i need to input to fix boatloader from the 1st to last.
If i get this info and fix it i will either pay some money or give my TUROK game to you what is boxed with key and manual ready for multiplayer action, atm i'm into gta4 so don't play turok anymore. But this is a solid unreal engine 3 game.

SWEET!!!!
I guess ill try to help you,
Im going to ask you to try to "hard reset" your device...
I already googled it, and i found this Youtube Video
Tell me if that does anything....
If you still need assistance, then Private message me.
Thankyou, believe me though i have tried everything, no power only when charging. I have to fix this with jtag. Really all i need is commands from 1st to last.
Whoever can help with the right commands gets a game. Remember it is a ipaq 6815.
Does anyone know anyone with the knowledge.
I had before upgraded rom a few times with no worries and bricked it before but not where it has no boatloader.
I am pretty handy with flashing but need help with this.
Please people help a kind soul.
Thankyou
Someone must know about jtag.

Help or explain plssssss.

Hello Everyone,
I have HTC SPRINT TOUCH PRO 2 PHONE.
I was updating the RADIO version on my phone and after it installed the device went to REBOOT and it never opened again and it doesn't goto the boot loader. The only reaction that the phone does is when i put it to charge the red light turn on.
I have tried hard/soft Reset, and nothing have worked.
PLEASE, DOES ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED ?? OR What can I do ??
Thank you for your answer in advance.
could be a battery issue, seems like its not holding a charge. Go to a store and try a new battery?
Sorry, but it sounds like you bricked your device. I'm guessing you flashed a radio not made for your device, like a GSM radio. If you can't access the bootloader, then I'd say you probably need to get your device replaced under warranty (by going to the store you bought it from and playing dumb about why it won't work so they'll replace it) or send it to HTC and pay to get it replaced.
try to reflash back to the stock rom...download and use the sprint exe on this page to do so...http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
ive had this happen and this was the only way to get it working again
Thank you everyone for trying to help, I will try to reflash the stock ROM and hopefully it works otherwise I will send it to HTC since i dont have warranty.

100% Bricked Desire: Riff Box?

I have a desire that seems totally ****ed. Doesnt show any signs of life at all, no leds, no vibrates, no hboot, no led backlight etc
Will a riff box unbrick the motherboard?
Anyone here offer that service?
Thanks
Dayum, you have my sympathies man. What the hell did you do to make that happen?

You managed to get it fixed or found anyone to fix it?
The Desire was already messed up, might of been SLCD bricked, it also kept turning off by itself. The only way I could boot it was to put it in the freezer, so I made a gold card ran a SLCD RUU, but that crashed at 70% and it resulted in the brick lol
What you gonna with your phone now if you cant get it fixed?
I also have a bricked Inspire. Unfortunately, riff has not issued any support as of yet for this phone but i expect they will in the future.
Sent from my VEGAn-TAB using XDA Premium App
Time to put dead dogs to rest....
Bricked......
Not even a Riff box will fix it?
Bricked Desire
I've also bricked my desire (by bad radio flash), but this is not end for your phone. Find nearest service which can jtag flash whole system to nand memory. It can fix every kind of brick.
Thanks, Sent the phone off today hopefully be back this week working.
Riff can repair bricked desired successfully. I repair but don't know how to flash now. I can go now in recovery menu but whenever I run ruu, its bricked again. 4 exclaimation marks. Even make its supercid. Will someone guide what to do now?
