Hey Geeks,
I need some help and I bet that you could help me!
I ve used the search engine to not post anything someone did before. But there was nothing that could help me.
First I ll describe you what I ve done to brick my Desire HD:
My phone is rooted, S-OFF, ENG S-OFF with CM 7. After installing the new ROM I wasn`t able to install anything from the amrket. So I ve looked up for the reason and tried different things to sovle it. I ve read somewhere that it could help to add a partition to my SD-card. So I ve used the ROM Manager to format my sd card and create a partition.
ROM Manager asked me if I am sure bla bla... you know what I mean. After giving ROM Manager su-permission my phone shuts down. From there on nothing happened. (and still no patition on my sd card).
It`s not reacting to the power button, to the volume-down + power button nor is blinking my LED when I connect it to the USB-Port. Seems like it`s out of energy (but my akku was charged before I ve stzarted with the partition of my sd card).
I ve tried to put out the akku for several minutes. No reaction.
Removing SD-Card before pushing the power button: No reaction
Plug in to charge battery without hitting any button... some hours later: still no reaction
Formating SD-Card: No reaction
Then I ve tried to install the RUU 1.32., saved it on my sd-card, plugged phone in to start... my pc is not detecting my phone.
And now I am helpless
So it doesn't boot at all? Because if it doesn't, you are pretty much screwed...no boot -> no access -> no fix, but I don't believe that you can screw your phone up that badly by partitioning your sd-card.
Unless someone has a fix for this (and the problem doesn't solve itself somehow), your best bet is to send your phone to HTC for a repair, they probably won't charge you anything if it is still covered under warranty, since they can't really check for any modifications if it doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem any way.

The fact that it doesn't boot at all is a good thing for send it back for warranty purpose. But if you formated your sd-card, you lost root anyway. You have to make a backup of your SD-Card before you format/partition it, and then copy everything back.
And your initial issue was maybe due to an outdated version of Gapps...
why should he loose root if he formats his sd-card? you have root even without an sd-card.
if nothing helps to get your DHD back to life, you probably have to send it to HTC. but I think it's covered by warranty since it's (probably) a hardware fault.
btw, i think i've seen a thread like this somewhere here yesterday... i'll have a look and post a link if i find something
Edit: found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013582&page=2
look at page 2. there are some people with the same problem, but there is no solution yet.
But you do have CWM-Recovery on it don't you?
And if, can you get into Recovery?
Had similar Problems, once...
But my phone only showed the white HTC Logo and that was it....
What i did was the following... flashed Revory via Fasbootload from Computer...
Next, i formatted my sd card via computer and copied a new Rom.zip onto it.
In my Case, leedroid.
Next, i just flashed it and it happened to work again, luckily.
he can't even boot into the bootloader.

Hardware fault or not, rooting voids warranty. Let's hope that they can't inspect the internal memory.
Anyway, is the phone reacting to connecting to a proper charger (try to leave it plugged in for a couple of hours even if the LED doesn't light up)? The other thing you could try is to find a friend with a DHD and swap the batteries just to try if somehow you managed to kill your battery.
hi Sleipnir1985,
go back to your shop,
when did you buy it? they must take it for service, or they give you new one.
it is only best solution in this case
if you take battery out for 5! min, then plug it in and hold volume down then push power button - nothing happened, this is it, the end...
cheers/

yes, but HTC replaces your phone if it's a hardware and not a software fault. a friend of mine got his DHD replaced with eng hboot, radio S-OFF, custom rom and so on. and lots of people here on XDA also.
Here`s another mate with the same problem.
I am going to give my HTC to the shop this evening. Push your thumbs that I ll get a new one

Hi all,
My DHD is bricked (I think).
When I try to access to the recovery the phone vibrate 3 times and nothing on the screen
When I send : "adb devices" it replies HT0xxxxxxxxxxx recovery.
The HBOOT driver is installed and in the peripheral manager my DHD appears : android USB devices
What can I do ??
Help me please and sorry for my bad English !!

Hey guy's, well first off I just want to say I'm a big fan of android and especially xda-developers and all the helpful people on this site. I'm having a pretty big issue, one that I searched for a solution for 2 days now using the search function on here as well as google and many others available and I'm in a corner. I have an EVO 4G I bought from someone off craigslist and everything was fine for 3 weeks then 3 days ago the phone died and i plugged it in with no led light showing the charging status. I thought perhaps it was a bad battery so I bought another battery and with the little life the new battery has it turned on and got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G splash screen.
So I pulled the battery out and re-installed and booted into the bootloader menu only to find out more bad news. When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader menu it goes to the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and stays there forever. I have tried to clear storage, in which it clears and says everything is ok reboots into the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and gets stuck again, So I'm really concerned now and I cant find a solution anywhere I've tried several different methods to flash amon RA recovery, I downloaded the zip file and changed the name accordingly so the bootloader menu would automatically recognize it and it said installed successfully but still to no avail, and I do not believe I am able to manually flash another recovery method because I cannot get into usb debuggine mode from the phone so I'm not sure how adb would even begin to recognise the phone.......... someone for love of all things fancy please help me!!!! I'm struggling!!! lol
Also this is what appears on my bootloader menu:
supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

If you have a card reader,you should be able to download a Rom,put it in the root of your sd card,rename it pc36img.zip,put it back in your phone and flash it through the bootloader.

I have already attempted this method twice but I'll give it another shot
Try running RUU update. Download here:
OTA 3.70
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=86NCAM22
Link grabbed from PPCGEEKS user KarlE
this will revert you back to android 2.2, but this should fix your problem.

downloaded the file and executed it in windows and it reboots the phone from bootloader to bootloader again but phone never comes back on...
Do this, in this order...
Charge battery to full (since there's no way for you to tell how much charge there is you might as well be sure it's full...)
Boot to Bootloader
Select FASTBOOT with volume up/down
Press Power button to go into FASTBOOT
Plug phone in to PC
Run RUU.

Hey I tried this method and all was well for the most part and then the executable ruu said that it could not continue because my battery was less than 30% and my phone won't charge for some strange...

The phone doesn't charge in bootloader, turn the phone off and leave it on the charger when it's OFF until the light goes green, then start over.

Then it's possibly a bad battery or simply a brick now, because if you can't charge it normally, doing anything to get it working again is futile... If you have another battery try that, or if you can take it to a shop and try one of their batteries in it... That's all I can think of doing...

Well I don't think its a complete brick just yet the usb port can't be bad if fastboot reads the pc when connected and vice versa, however I went to frys and bought a universal battery charger and am charging the battery to full right now. I'll let you know something soon thanks for all your help so far.
Ok so I let the battery charge, re-installed and ran the RUU executable file it flashed and installed successfully but is at the same place still gets stuck on htc evo 4g screen
What Rom and kernel were you on when you discovered it at white screen.
Also, did you just find it at the splash screen? or did it random reboot or just not boot?

Stock as far as I know and the phone died and when i went to recharge it and discovered the white splash screen
Ok I'm really stuck nothing is working for me the RUU ran and flashed properly just to get back stuck at the htc evo 4g screen again I was reading somewhere else that it needs to read S-ON on bootloader to flash the OTA RUU is this correct? and if so how can I change it with unrevoked if I cant get adb to recognize the device?
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?
bortak's Troubleshooting Guide said:
S-ON
"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

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?
I was making a TWRP Backup when all of the sudden my phone just randomly turns off. I grabed my phone and it was really hot. Tried turning it on, but nothing happened. Then I connected it to the ac adapter and it turned on, but it would go to the LG logo, the screen turns black then it restarts. This does not stop unless I unplug it. I had previously made two backups before and nothing like this happened, but this time I enabled conpression<-------- This must have been what caused this. All I want to know is if this can be fixed or not. If it could be fixed I would be so happy if somone could tell me how to fix this. THANK YOU. P.S. THIS PHONE IS A BEAST. D

Likely bricked. Do you have flashing notification and capacitive lights? Have you LGNPST'd? If yes to both of those questions, you're in the same predicament as I was and hopefully you have insurance, because your phone is fried.

Sprint's policy on root is to document it but not do anything about it, so they would swap it. If you're worried, I can help you restore stock firmware.

Same happened to me. The phone overheats in recovery, so do what you need to do and then get out of it.

Would you please help me out to restore to stock from a stuck LG logo screen? I can't even boot into fastboot or recovery. I tried LGNPST number of tries with different .bin files with no luck. I also tried a lot of diff things, too. Please email me at [email protected]. Thank you very much!

What's the purpose of pulling battery out? Just a try? I'm gonna have to get it from Fry's tomorrow and try that first.

Because your phone doesn't know if it needs to be in charging mode or booting. Pulling battery will fix it.

I had a similar problem as you. Upon getting the phone I rooted and used the FreeGee app from the Google Play store to unlock the bootloader. Everything seemed fine and dandy, until one day when I let my phone's battery drain completely. Pluggin it in to a wall charger resulted in the failed boot where the LG logo flashes before going to a blank, but backlit screen. Luckily, the first few times this happened, through a combination of quickly plugging and unplugging the usb cord and holding the volume up+power button, I could get it into recovery (TWRP). Then a simple cache & dalvik cache wipe, and the phone would boot up as if nothing ever happened. Very strange.
Well yesterday this happened again, however, this time there was no getting the phone into recovery. My previous methods of button mashing and plugging and unplugging weren't working. So, I decided to bite the bullet and use LGNPST to get back to ZV7. Now, like you mentioned, this failed boot would automatically happen, without pressing the power button to turn it on. So it was difficult to get the phone to stay off. I found that with the phone unplugged, if you continue to press the power button until the blank backlit screen turns off, AND continue to hold the power button for an additional five seconds, the phone would stay off and not auto power on into the failed boot.
Once I was able to get the phone to stay off, I pressed the middle of the volume key to depress both volume up and down, and then plugged a usb cord that was attached to my computer. This powered on the phone into download mode. Following the LGNPST guide I was able to get to around 67% complete before my phone turned off and an error message flashed on the computer screen telling me to power cycle the phone and reconnect. Well, the whole 67%/85% LGNPST failure is apparently common and not indicative of an actual failure; HOWEVER, my phone became completely unresponsive. It wouldn't power on at all. It didn't matter if the usb was unplugged or connected to the computer or wall charger. So, I was forced to unplug the battery. I followed this tutorial and successfully disconnected and reconnected the battery cord, and the phone shot back to life. It even booted up into the factory stock ZV7 rom. I guess that LGNPST was successful. It looked like I was on my way to returning my phone to breezy's deodexed ZV9 stock rom that I was previously running.
I went ahead and re-rooted, ran the FreeGee app again, and rebooted into recovery. Then I made a backup and attempted to flash my new rom. Now, I think this is where I royally screwed up. I was pleasantly surprised to see my screen layout and all of my settings still intact after LGNPST back to ZV7 and thought I could just wipe the caches and ignore the factory reset and system wipe before flashing. Perhaps it was this, but part of me also thinks there might be something wrong with my battery draining extremely fast in recovery.
I proceeded to flash and all seemed good, but rebooting resulted in the LG logo failed boot that we have already discussed. So, I went ahead and repeated the LGNPST-re-root process numerous times (switching to the freegee 0.5 batch file instead of the app). Everytime after the first initial restore, I could never get my phone to enter recovery. As soon as I rebooted after using freegee, the phone would be soft bricked again. Sometimes I would get the LG logo thing, other times I would get the dreaded alternating flashing red notification light and soft keys. A battery pull was usually required in these circumstances before I could get back into download mode to start all over.
I was about ready to give up when I took to the LGOG irc channel. That's when Xboxfanj stepped in and helped me out IMMENSELY. Over the course of several hours, he walked me through flashing some partitions in ADB. At times it seemed like there was no hope and that I should have just returned the phone, but he failed to acquiesce, we pushed forth trying a couple of other bootloader options. The new bootloader appeared to have fixed the phones erratic behavior with powering on and off, but I had no rom to boot into and no recovery. Xboxfanj recommended using fastboot to flash over a recovery. Once in the new bootloader screen my Windows XP machine detected new hardware and wanted some drivers. I attempted to use the [ADB/FB/APX Driver] Universal Naked Driver 0.72, but XP indicated that I was missing 'winusbcoinstaller2.dll'.
I grabbed winusbcoinstaller2.dll from here and all was good. Fastboot recognized the phone, I was able to flash recovery and subsequently boot into recovery. From there I reformatted the system, wiped data/factory restore, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, and flashed breezy's ZV9 deodexed rom.
Fortunately, after around 7 hours, I am happy to say my phone is back to being rooted, unlocked, and running ZV9. It powers on and off properly and can get into recovery without a hitch. I'm still curious what will happen if I let my battery drain completely. Perhaps I'll try it some time this week. I'll be sure to post back here if/when I do that. All in all, it was a harrowing, but educational experience.
Anyway, just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Xboxfanj! You really are the man :good:. Thanks for your patience and determination.

First, what rom did you flash and how did you flash it?
Try this as well:
Pull the battery, press the power button for a few seconds. Put the battery back in and press the power button again. Pop the battery out a 2nd time and then put it back in. See if it turns on.
If that doesn't work, pull the battery and hook the phone up (without the battery) to a computer and again see if it turns on and shows up in device manager.
Flashing the wrong rom should only result in a non-booting situation. If you have a custom recovery installed, you should be able to still get into that. The d850 has some serious issues with successfully rebooting in general (which can be resolved by the two suggested procedures above), so I would suspect that before worrying about a brick.
Lastly, the d850 requires bumped ROMs to get by the locked bootloader. The d851 (T-Mobile version) does not have a locked bootloader, so the roms are not bumped and will of course fail to boot.
Once you get back into recovery, just wipe all partitions except for internal storage/sd card and install a correct rom.

When you say you got the phone on, what do you mean?
If it is on and showing up as a phone in Windows, why not just use the LG recovery tool and flash back to stock, then start over?

Give the lg firmware flash and recovery tools a go then. There are several threads on here dealing with unbricking phones that detail what you need to do.
