Fully Bricked Desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One day i tried to turn on my phone but it would not turn on. So i tried to recharge it but nothing happens, screen off, the orange led didn't turn off, no vibration... nothing. One day it was perfectly working, the next day it was completely broken. So i tried to change battery, i bought a new one but still the same problem.
The day that my phone decided to kill itself, i was using virtous rom based on stock v2, so hboot, s-off and obviously rooted.
I also tried to connect to pc but pc didn't recognize it...
Any advice?
Sorry for the bad english

My DZ did this, just completely died. It was still in warranty so it went back to HTC and had the main circuit board replaced.

Desire Bricked

Hi i recently had my desire repaired by HTC, i had the rebooting issue and they replaced the motherboard everything was working fine for two weeks then last night while browsing the internet the phone froze, None of the buttons would work couldnt power off i had to remove the battery, now it wont switch on at all at first i thought it was a dead battery but i have tried another battery and it still wont start.
I plugged my charger in and the orange led came up but as soon as i press the power button it goes off i left it charging overnight and now the led light is green but it still wont turn on.
I havent rooted it and it came back from HTC with the latest firmware installed
As its compleyely syock, Id send it back to htc again and give them hell.

[Q] Desire Z (UK Vodafone) will not power on

Hi,
I have a rooted desire Z (with S-OFF) currently using Cyanogen 7 nightly from around 3 weeks ago.
Three days ago I came back to my phone which was on charge to see the green LED indicating a full charge, so I pulled the cable out but the phone would not respond. It had a black screen (no back light) as though it was off. I tried to power on with the button, no response. So i removed the battery to force a cold reset.
Since that moment it is totally dead! Will not charge (no orange or green LED and the mains charger which usually gets warm during a charge, doesn't) Will not switch on, its completly bricked, i cant even boot to recovery using power and vol down.
My only glimmer of hope is that when connected to my PC, a new device is picked up (QHSUSB_DLOAD is the name) nut I dont know how to make use of this. I have tried to leaving it with the battery out for hours, and charging it for hours, fiddled with the battery to ensure a good connection and also tried to power off mains (no battery) no luck!!
I have tried using ADB but just get a device not found error.
Any idea's?
Thanks
Mike
If is totally bricked maybe htc won't be able to turn it on and discover that you have rooted it. I'd try in your place
You need to send that in! It's a bad emmc chip or patition 18 became corrupted. Either way htc will have to replace the emmc and reflash an ruu tthus destroying any chance of them finding out. Trust me you're good for sending it in

I dont think that'll help him due to the fact his battery is dead and cant turn the phone on.
Connect the phone to the charger with the battery out, then put the battery in but once it contacts the leads in the phone make sure it doesnt fall out or loose contact (so put the battery cover back on). It should now charge (DONT press the power button!) leave it for about an hour before turning it on.
As JSL says, try to leave it on charge for like a hour, then try to turn it on.
hi sorry for the delayed replies by me...i tried everything nothing works ,,,took out the battery nothing happens charged it overnight and still nothing,,,is there a way to flash the phone so it will start working,,,The phone doesnt go into the bootloader so how can i install a rom,,plz plz help me...
Have you got a spare battery you can try to make sure there is no fault with the phone?
Ricey
did you get work it? I have same problem
I had something similar with a HTC Magic. It was so drained that the led would not lit when connected. I left it charging for some hours and the led came back to life and then I was able to charge it completely.
Two opinions:
- battery damaged.
- phone damaged.
You should buy a new battery. I had same problem...

[Q] HTC Desire won't power up

Hello.
I have a SLCD PVT3 HTC Desire
S-OFF, HBOOT 0.93 Data++, InsertCoin 1.08 stable, 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 radio
I was shooting a video with my phone, battery was about 40% when I started, I recorded maybe 5minutes. Then suddenly phone shutdown, I try to reboot, it won't so I suspect it just ran out of battery.
I put it on charger, orange led lights up and I go for a cigarette. Come back 10minutes after and I try to power on, it won't, orange led disappears and nothing happens.
I remove battery, try to boot=no work.
I remove battery, plug in ac charger, phone flashes green and orange led one after another and when I try to power on it won't.
I remove the charger cord and put battery back, try to power it, no work.
I plug in charger cord, orange led comes, I try to power it on, led disappears and phone will not boot.
Then I take charger cord off and remove battery and put battery back, and charger cord back, orange led comes.
I leave it there since it looks like it's charging, an hour or 1½ I come back and there is green led and I try to power on but to no avail.
vol down+power and back+power doesn't work.
So I can't get to fastboot/bootloader/recovery/or boot the phone.
And it doesn't even vibrate when I try to power it.
Is it totally dead?? Help?
Warranty still in place?

Have you check the battery? the desire does not power up when there is no battery even when on plugged into AC. so it is possible for a faulty battery could make the phone not turn on and not charge.
Yeah, I do have warranty on this thing.
Since the phone won't even power up, is there a way the repair place is gonna find out that the phone is s-off, rooted and has custom rom on it and custom splash screen?
If I could even get the phone to fastboot I could undo all of that but blargh not even that.
Do you really think it would be the battery fault? :S
I don't have a spare battery so I can't try that.
When I connect the charger to the phone while the battery is in, the orange light comes up so it should be charging it.
I don't even have a multimeter to try and see if the battery is dead.
it is possibility that it could be the battery..or maybe even the charging circuitry on the phone. there is no way to say for sure. I am only offering a suggestion.
since you can't even get into the recovery or bootloader. this does not sound like a software issue

Only way is if your friend has desire, or you can buy my new battery, charged only once! Ha
But they probably won't even try and boot it and will probably change it.

Almost exact same thing happened to me. Desire died for no reason, and it was not the battery. HTC have no way of telling if your phone's rooted if it's dead (or I don't think so anyway), I just sent it off and they repaired it for me under warranty Good luck.
Okay, thanks for your input guys!
I'll be sending it to warranty on wednesday.
Hi all,
I have exactly the similar problem with my HTC Desire.
I do not think so it is a battery problem because when it died it has been already full powered 2 hours ago.
How long would it take to get your phone back from warranty?
Thanks and regards.

Completely forgot about this thread.
SCF Repair fixed my phone under warranty.
Yet again they replaced the mobo
I got the phone back sometime around august 25 or something like that.
Came back as PVT4 :cheers:
Also, after I had it for exactly 2weeks, put it in my pocket accidentally wrong way aka screen not against my thigh->boom slcd broken against table corner..
Shhhhhhhh.. argh.
Sat like 1hr on my ass cursing in my mind and occasionally aloud.
After that, I pulled it together D), inspected the damage and only slcd was broken the digitiser for some miracle was undamaged (huh?) ordered new slcd from uk-hitech, it arrived couple days ago.
Was about to start disassembling it, was staring at the void stickers for few seconds-> bah screw it and screeech scraped them off and continued. Took around 1hr10mins.
And as you can see:

Hi i have the same problem, i was listening to music when suddenly the phone froze i gave it a minuet to settle but no response, so i pulled the battery and pressed power and it turned on. it got stuck on the htc screen and was stuck their for good 5 minuets, so i pulled the battery again(intending to hard reset from clock work) but this time the phone does not power on at all! only orange led comes when i plug the phone on charge if i press power button the led goes off but the phone does not seem to come on at all. this happened to me when i was abroad few weeks ago, the odd thing was when it happened first time around i left it for like an hour and it turned on like nothing ever happened and worked since untill today. its been good 4 hours since it died =[. its still under warranty but its been s-off will HTC still repair it? did you find out what they repaired on your one ? incase HTC dont repair i can get third party store to repair it but id like to know what the cause is? and by the way the mother board was replaced by HTC before(it died after 2 days when i first bought it, this is the second mother board)

[Q]Won't start - black display, diode

Hi,
I've left the phone last night on the USB cabel to charge up and this morning I wasn't able to turn it on.
Diode is blinking, but the phone won't start (display is still black) and won't even get to the recovery.
I've been running almost stock ROM with no CPU overclock or something else, phone has been stable for few weeks.
Any ideas or I have to face the fact, that my beloved "Z" has died?
Well it does start up, but the screen keeps black. Isn't it? It happend to me three times, first two times they said the display was replaced at the HTC service centre, the third time they switched the mainboard. I was lucky, I had warrenty.
But I also read a post somewhere it could be that the screen connector to the mainboard gets lose. If you don't have warrenty you could try to open the phone and see if thats the deal.
