Yep go to customer service, DO NOT say anything about what you did, just say it suddenly stopped working after a call for example, cry a bit to add drama to it and wait till they give you a brand new replaceme't phone

Desire hangs at bootup screen and just vibrates a few times..:( (broken??)

Hey!
Im new to this forum but there seems to be a lot of experts here so i thought i'd try and see if anyone could help me!
Yesterday i put my desire to charge and after one hour i came back and it was showing the boot screen! The white background with the 3 green letters HTC! so i took out the battery and put it in again and restarted the phone but it only gets to that screen vibrates like 10 times and then hangs there! tried waiting for it for 30 min but nothing...
So then i tried to hard reset it and cleared the storage! but afterwards still the same!
Also when in "recovery mode" i sometimes see some green text flashing by for just a sec saying something like "warning...no image...."
Everything is in its original state, i havent rooted or reflashed it or anything... but i am willing to do so if it can solve my problems since warranty matters in my case will take ages!
The phones language is Swedish btw!
Can anyone help me?? its first now that u realize how much the phone means to you Miss my desire!
it sounds like the firmware is somehow corrupted. If you can boot the phone by pressing power and volume down, this will take you to the bootloader. From here you should be able to root the handset by following any number of threads here or on modaco!
Then I'd go Here and install this recovery. From then on you can choose a custom or stock rom to install.
You need to know though that rooting will void your warranty.
Have you also tried booting the phone normally with the SD card removed?

[Q] Bricked Desire HD

I have a Desire HD, rooted with Visionary, ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock'd, I installed ClockworkMod using ROM Manager and chose to boot into recovery, the phone now doesn't boot whatsoever, when turning on it vibrates 3 times and the amber LED flashes continuously about every second. If I hold down and press power, the phone vibrates 5 times and a green LED flashes instead, but nothing on the screen. Back and Power does the same as turning it on normally. When plugged into USB, my computer searches for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM driver which it cannot find...
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the phone into recovery mode, fastboot mode, or any other mode where I can flash a RUU?
Thanks, Jordan.
:::im not sure about this, and whatever happens, im not responsible, this is entirely your decision:::
But if i was in your shoes, given that it doesnt want to open at all but just flashes (the LED), ... , i would take the battery out and try again.
But if this keeps happening, then you should sent it to HTC.
Take your battery out, then try and flash into recovery mode
If you get into recovery mode then either install a new Rom or if you backup your Rom restore it

Taking the battery out and putting it back in does nothing, left the battery out for hours, nothing. No way to get into recovery...
If u flashed a 2.x.x.x version of CWM u could try use the bug thats now corrected in 3.x versions.
By taking the battery out then plugging USB in to charge and replace the battery. that used to start my DHD into recovery. if u flashed the 3.x.x..x CWM it wont have that bug.
^it's actually a feature which was removed...^

As long as your DHD vibrates, shows LED.. it is not bricked if I am not wrong. Wait for some senior member to reply your question. You might need to erase recovery via fast boot (just a thought, I am not sure).

Which of course works only if you can get into fastboot.
@OP: If you connect your phone to the computer and turn it on, does the computer recognise it?
as he said, windows searches for "Qualcomm xxx"-drivers.
i had a similar issue with my nearly-bricked hd2 some months ago.
but you know: hd2 and dhd aren't really the same when compared on bootloader level

Can't get into fastboot mode because pressing down and power just makes the phone vibrate 5 times and show a green LED. The phone failed to boot after installing CWM, which was v3 anyway, but obviously isn't present if it fails to boot into recovery in any form. I sent the phone away with Vodafone to get repaired under warranty, but they sent it back today saying it's water damaged and they won't go any further into fixing it. My house mate dropped the phone in the bath once, it worked fine afterwards, no problems whatsoever until now. It's obviously not water damage that caused this, but vodafone refuses to take a look... Am I gonna have to resort to a third party repair center? or replace my friends damn expensive phone... Any ideas?

does your phone carrier offer extended warranty? as in full coverage?... basically i did this once.. my gf got pissed (as they do).. and basically tossed her phone towards me lol missed completely.. bounced off a wall, then off a metal heater, and then the floor.. thus .. screen completely broken.
We went onto our carriers website, added a 3 dollar a month full coverage warranty (12 month commitment). and after 2 weeks sent it in .. fully repaired 2 week later ...

[Q] Phone stuck on "M" logo

Hey guys, I really need your help here.
I was trying to flash my mate's phone with the newest MIUI today, but it wouldn't work because the SD card wouldn't mount.
Now when he got this phone, it was already rooted. No idea how they rooted it, but there were a few Chinese apps on there. I got my phone (Samsung Captivate) from the same people, and there were also a few random apps on there, but I managed to flash a new ROM on that. It got to the point where I was un-rooting and rooting it over and over again, until I found a Clockwork Mod that worked on the Defy. It mounted the SD card fine, and then it installed the ROM using the "install from zip from sd card" function or something like it. It went fine, said it finished and it didn't lose power half way through the install. Rebooted the phone, and now it's stuck on the "M" Motorola logo. Went to go flash with sbf, and then it came up saying that the battery was too low so it wouldn't program. Well ****.
Tried the Mcgyver mod where you just splice a USB in between the battery and the phone, but that didn't work. I'm hoping that it will just charge from USB while the phone is off? I've read somewhere that it won't charge while it's off, but the LED is white (I think that indicates that it's charging). Occasionally the "M" logo comes on, but it goes away and starts "charging" again. It won't take to the wall charger for some reason, just doesn't want to charge D:
I've been at this for 8ish hours now, does anyone have any advice? Anything at all will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
How long have you been trying to charge it? That's normal behavior for the phone to show the Moto logo and go to battery charging animation when the phone is off. You should be able to power it on if it is plugged in though.
Are you in the boot loader when you try to flash the SBF? Reboot the phone and hold the volume key up to get to the bootloader. Use RSD lite to flash the SBF. I'm sure you've already looked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537. It's very helpful.
Good luck!
After flashing the new firm , try to make a WIPE before you install the zip !!
Worked for me!!
this should go to the development sector
youll find your answer there under "bricked phone"

[Q] Can't boot to recovery or download mode

It is a long story, started with wanting Photoshare App. After rooting using Odin got into all sort of process stopped error. Desperate, downloaded and tried to flash CM10 using CWM. All I got was CM logo circling endlessly for 30 minutes. Pulled the plug and now, I seem to have a brick, can't even boot to recovery or download mode. When I try to boot to downlad mode, the warning screen appears for just a second and goes away. When I try recovery mode Samsumg log appears and then blank.
Is there anything I can do at this point? I appreciate any help I can get.

Hm. if you boot up your phone are you stuck at the cm bootup? If you are im sorry bro you cant fix it for free by sending it to samsung. JTAG for 60 bucks or samsung for 60 bucks. Reason being that it shows that you have rooted and modded your device. If you were hardbricked and nothing would turn on at all you would be able to send it to samsung and get it fixed for free!
Well if it shows Download mode then it might be working, just not showing, if you see a blue ID:COM number in Odin its working. Try to flash a stock ROM in Odin while in Download mode and make sure its in PDA or you will brick. Check only Auto-Reboot and F. Reset time.
If it works congrats if not search this forum for a service called JTAG which repairs bricks.

A little update ...
I was able to get to download mode after many trys and got back to stock -- unrooted. I should have stopped when I was ahead, but I was feeling invincible after this feat of reviving the phone and that was really stupid.
I wanted to root and flash CM10 nightly. I followed the instructions from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32486-gu...m10-nightlies-without-k-exec-updated-8-18-12/. After unlocking the bootloader step, I wanted to backup the stock ROM I had on the phone -- I don't know why I wanted to do that as I had just flashed the stock and didn't have anything customized. Anyway, when I clicked backup from CWM everything died, kaput, nothing. I have been desperately holding the power button, reovery combination of buttons, download mode combination, anything I can think of, the phone is giving me the total silent treatment, which BTW I am used from a more human source.
Let me know if there is anything I can do, perhaps stand on one leg and try switching it on perhaps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/redface.gif
Sorry for the dumb jokes, I am a little frustrated, but I am sure I will get over it.
Thanks for those who took interest to read my question and those who cared to respond, I appreciate it....
Cheers!
are you getting any signs of life with the phone plugged in with or without the battery in?

Best advice...take out the battery, leave for 1-2 hours, insert battery, try to access download, flash stock in odin, reboot, don't flash any more Jelly Bean roms. lol

i9192 stuck in samsung logo, can't enter recovery mode, but can enter download (odin)

Hello, i have a S4 mini duos (i9192)I do not know much English, so use the Google translator, I hope you understand and can help me.
Well, I used the rom of aosp on my phone, because I wanted the android 7 and the unicorn I liked, that's why I had it.
But with many days of use, one day was charging the phone, it is stuck and I removed the battery so could not turn it on anymore, I took it to a technical service near my house to repair it, then repaired it, and it was a hardware problem, the phone was repaired , Then I was happy.
And when I used it, sometimes suddenly the phone goes off alone and I had to remove the battery to turn it on again, search in the internet, and they said that it is a problem with rom, then I wanted to change the rom when I have time and the phone did not resist until it had time and takes to repair in the same place to see that such, because it had warranty.
The technicians told me that it is a software problem, and they put it to repair again, then I went to get the phone, they said that the problem could not solve it, and I take the phone home.
I started to try in my house.
1. It turns on but sticks to the samsung logo.
2. Home + power + volume up does not start recovery, and when I try to boot, the phone is dead for a while, and does not catch the samsung logo.
3. Home + power + volume down, I can enter download mode perfectly, and the computer detects it, also odin 3.7, 3.10 and 3.11.
But when I try to get him the ROM does not work !!!
I try with 4 rom and in different odin version, sometimes it starts and it is paid in a message, then in another message, the phone does not leave the green as it should.
And when at last begins to load the bar, that when it finishes say pass, the phone with download mode rattles, but the green bar stays stuck in a little more behind the beginning :crying::crying:
I also tried to put a new recovery, but it did not help either
I gave up
After several days without a phone, I started looking again over the internet, and I wanted to ask here, because I am extremely stressed, and I really want someone to help me a little.
Well, I don't know if I'm answered, but i with the translator google, I finished ....:angel:
same here
