[Q] Is my Desire Complete Brick?

My sister has a Desire and I modded it with a custom rom and hboot so that she can use ext3 for app data on SD. However, a week later, she told me that the desire no longer power on. The symptom are as follow:
1. when pull battery, and re-insert in, connect usb would charge with orange light and would turn green after an hour or so.
2. no other keys would response except power. Once power is pressed. Charging light would turn off and the bottom back of the machine would start heat up slowly.
3. No matter what I did, USB NEVER got any signal. (no fastboot, no adb, not even an unknown device detected.
4. No matter what I did, Nothing would come up on screen.
5. I am not sure if it is a amoled or slcd version.
6. the device is S-off.
Could anyone please tell if the device is completed bricked and I cannot fix it by myself? Thanks alot.

I have read it. But I didn't find anything relevant.
I have no screen and no fastboot. Could you please point out where I should focus in the Q&A?

Slowly heat up to abnormally hot temps or just heat up like phone running screen on for 20 mins?
If it is getting hot and nothing is working then their is probably a short inside and it is bricked and has 95% chance of having nothing to do with rooting.
If it just warms up and doesn't work then it probably has something to do with something she did or by chance you had a bad dl or something and it bricked. For you to have no hboot and no recovery to boot into makes it hard to believe it just happened.
Moral of the story is yes hard brick in my opinion. The only way to recover s phone is by USB and if you have no connection then their is a short or your device is literally wiped which is had to do.

It is a bit hotter than idle. But not heating up strongly like short circuit. I tried to created a gold card but I have no idea how it would help.

I cannot. Not even fastboot.
I have tried in many ports and I am sure I have installed HTC Sync / PDA Net / Galaxy Driver, etc...

So you only get the charging LED and nothing else? If you turn on your Desire nothing happens except that the LED goes out?

Yes, only led (green and orange representing battery state), and it turn off pressing power button, after that to have leds have to completly give no alimentation (unplug battery an also usb cable), if I plug on the usb and no battery, led fast blink green and orange...

I think it's a hardware failure. You should either get it to a service, or use it as a HTC battery charger

if you hold down volume down and power, do u get anything?

Maybe try this, I mean you dont have a lot to loose...
When your phone is supposed to be "ON" press volume down, power and the optical trackpad (between the menu and the back button). This should do a hard reboot, when the phone is on. When my Desire is freezes, I use this (instead of popping the battery).
I don't think it'll work, sounds like you have some kind of hardware malfunction, but one can never know. What is the harm in tryin'?

[Q]Acro S bricked... All by itself!

Hi guys,
I need your help. My brand new (2 weeks old!) Xperia Acro S bricked by itself!
I was browsing the web when the screen went completely black. I tried to do a hard reset (pressing power + volume up) because it worked many times before that (it was not the first time that the whole "black screen crash" happened), but the phone was completely dead.
The local Sony assistance told me (after keeping it for 6 weeks ) that they won't repair it because the phone is not currently sold in my country (I won it on Facebook).
As of now the only thing that is working is the charging light when I connect it to the charger.
The phone was absolutely and completely stock, NO rom, NO root whatsoever.
Please tell me that I did not win an extremely pricey paperweight!

Plug in charger,when it shows battery icon,press the power button until it is turn on

Did you tried Power button + Volume down button? If not hold Power button + Volume down button for 10 seconds. It should work.

Double Post, sorry.

The phone is not out of charge, it is completely dead. The only thing working is the LED notification light that turns red when connected to the charger.

Unfortunately it doesn't. I connected the phone while holding the volume down button pressed but nothing happened.

I have the same problem with xperis S.
It bricked by itself.
The only one noticeable thing i remember that when I last seen it a few minutes after it was working that the light was flashing blue and the black screen. After it it newer switched on.
Now while charging, the light turns solid red and nothing more. No flashmode. No fastboot mode. Tried to remove accu. It did not help. Sony update service and flashtool does not see the device.
There was stock firmware droid 4.0.4 and root. Nothing more. Everything worked fine. No updates were done before it bricked.
Is there any way out?

Then I'm not the only one...
As of now there is no way out, you should contact your local sony assistance.
It would be great if you could tell us what was the cause of the death of your Xperia.

Arc won't boot

Hello guys,
I hope you can help. I'm having issues with my Arc running cyanogenmod 7 (.2 I think). I've been using cm on the device for over a year and one morning it would not turn on. I thought it's out of battery so I charged it. Later I tried to turn it on but it still wouldn't start. I further noticed that when plugged in to charge the LED was not illuminated. I tried a different battery from another arc device, but didn't change anything. (Mine worked on the other device.)
A week later or so, I tried to charge it again and suddenly the LED lit up and I was able to turn it on. Unfortunately, this was only temporarily. I checked the phone later and it was off again.
So I thought, I try to send it back to Amazon where I bought it, and maybe they don't get that I modified the software. But they did...
Any thoughts on what I could do?
Cheers,
Diophantus

Can you get the phone into flash mode or fast boot mode or have it detected by any computer?
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium

I tried flasboot (0.9 linux) and it did not work. I'll try to get a windows machine and test fast boot

Fastboot doesn't work either. Nothing pops up when connecting the device while holding the fastboot key.

Any other suggestions?

So the LED won't turn blue if you hold the menubutton and connect the USB?
And no green LED on flashmode?
Did you do something special with the phone before it happened?

Nope, it just happened over night. Didn't flash or anything. I had been using the Wifi a lot more than usual, but nothing else.
It is strange, that it turned on that one time.

Can they ask Sony if I unlocked the bootloader or how could they know this?

when you press volume down and connect it to pc through cable
u should be in flashboot mode and seee some drivers installing
if you don't get any response from the phone then its a total hard bricked
you will need to send it to warranty or a repair center
if possible box will be able to revive it but if not your pcb needs to be replaces

Thx manzza, the day after tomorrow I will go to sony repair center which will fix my phone? I don't know what happened to me
