I am having a really weird problem with my HTC Desire
It wont charge although sometimes it does.
if I plug it into the mains it may charge but only up to a maximum of 21% and then whilst still plugged into the mains it will discharge (while it is discharging the orange led is on solid as if it is charging)
If the battery reaches 0% the phone stays on when plugged into the mains.
I have the original battery and a new one i bought off ebay about 3 months ago. I dont think its the batteries as the exact same fault is happening on both.
I have also tried 2 different mains charges and usb charging,
This all seemed to start after i s-offed the phone and installed the lastest ICS Sanvold 0.7 ROM (which i found a bit too unstable) so I installed CyanogenMod CM7 Official (this is when i noticed the battery charging problem). Thinking it might be ROM related i installed the Oxygen 2.3.2 ROM which is one i used to use a while ago but I am still getting the charging problem, so i guess its not that.
Anyone got any idea? i still like my desire but i cant go on much longer like this and might just have to splash the cash and get a new phone.
I think the only way i can get it to charge is just to leave it charging for hours or switch the phone off and charge it upm but again it never goes above 21%
I have done the reset battery stats in ClockworkMod
Im running
-Revolutionary-
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5.17.05.23
and
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
Any ideas?
Can you try a different usb cable? I had a similar problem with a damaged one where the connector was broken.
Get back to S-ON and install the official RUU for your phone. See if the issue persists.
That test would demonstrate whether it's a hardware or software issue, and from then on, you can make your own conclusion.

Do i need to go back to s-on before i can reload an offical RUU?
I just tried to run the official ruu there but it told me i need 30% battery but unfortunately i can only power the battery to 21%
You don't need to S ON, but that would be the most efficient way to get it back to "Default"
The RUU from within windows gives a battery error? Try extracting the rom.zip from it and do the PM99IMG.zip flashing. Don't quote me on this, but it may bypass that error.

cheers
I managed to do what you mentioned above but all it did was downgrade the bootloader to s-on hboot 0.80.0000 , it failed on the rest ie downgrading to stock rom files etc
It wouldn't boot either but i did manage to get into recovery and flash a CM7 rom zip file i still had on the SD card, so i managed to get that on and the phone booted.
Is there anyway i can go back to stock using Recovery?
In the RUU Stock Rom.zip file there are loads of .img files, can i manually flash these somehow?
My phone is now up to 24% but wont go any higher
Yeah those .img files can be loaded with fastboot
"fastboot flash system system.img"
then do a delete user data from the recovery..
did you try another battery by the way?

Hi all, I’m having a major issue.
ROM is CyanogenMod 6.0.1
S-Off
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
I left Dinc in a hot car, direct Sunlight, 100 degrees, 8 hours, on the charger.
When I returned to my car, I had an orange LED and non-responsive phone.
I pulled Battery and held the phone to the A/C for a few minutes and powered it on, the phone entered a reboot cycle. Pulled battery and drove home.
Once home, I booted into recovery and reverted to my last backup. When I booted the phone, it locked wile mounting SD Card. Pulled Battery and booted into recovery, cleared cache. Boot into “Getting Started”, locked up. Next I did a factory reset.
The phone seems operational and stable at this time, but I have yet to sync or try to restore my Titanium backup. As a matter of fact, I’m thinking I may go back to stock Sense. I haven’t seen the 2.2 update, and the blogs are full of reports of things to come. I don’t want to give up Root…
… as I was just researching going back to the stock ROM / Radio I noticed my phone was locked up. So now I turn to you guys...
Help?
Well if your able to get it to boot then Its not completely bricked thankfully.
Also since your S-off You can flash the 2.2 RUU. Once that is done you can then run Unrevoked 3.21 and get root again.
I do worry about your phone locking up though. What hboot version do you have?
You should have
Hboot Version: 0.92.0000
I ask as if you don't already have this then you will end up being flashed with the RUU. I would hate to see your phone lock up while flashing the Hboot as that would be instant brick.
Also your phone may be damaged from being in the heat like that. I know my phone gets stupid hot when plugged into a car charger and have had that blinking orange light. If running the RUU does not resolve the issue of the phone locking up then you're going to have to call your carrier and possible get them to replace it.
Baseband is 2.15.00.07.28
But HBOOT is 0.79.0000
I begining to think the issue is the SDCard but I have loaded it on my PC and it appears fine.
Try running the phone with a different SD card for a while and see if it still locks up.
If you run the RUU your going to be updated to Hboot 0.92.0000 but as stated in my reply above I would hate to see it lock up while flashing this.
Okay, let me see if I can find the 2.2 RUU and a install guide. I have the 2 gig SD card that came with the phone someplace...

I would recommend reformatting the 2GB SanDisk card to the FAT32 format before using it too (no idea why it's just FAT by default). Probably wouldn't make a difference in what you are doing, but it was a hang up for me when trying to upgrade manually from 2.1-update1 to 2.2.
Okay, downloaded the RUU and HTC Sync.
Installed HTC Sync
Connected the phone over USB and ran the RUU.
Wile the RUU was running, an additional driver installed, and required a reboot. RUU error out with "Unable to communicate with the device"
Pulled battery from the phone, restarted the computer.
RUU can not connect.
Uninstall HTC Sync, reinstalled HTC Sync. Reconnected phone, ran the RUU... same thing... driver starts installing mid way through, request a reboot of my windows box, RUU reports unable to communicate.
Any ideas?
Got it... I know you guys where freaking out as much as I was.
I had to change the driver for the boot loader... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776056
Hey,
Wondering if anyone has come across this problem before... whenever I plug my phone into the mains charger it charges fine but when I unplug it, it causes the phone to hard reset. If it's charging from USB on my laptop then the phone does not reset. It doesn't appear to be ROM related or charger related as I've tried two chargers and it occurs on both DeFrost and Oxygen.
Only things I can think of at present are a recent Radio Update, AlphaRev S-OFF and N1 Boot Table (or a hardware fault). Anyone have any ideas?
Mike
maybe it is a battery issue. before excluding, you can try with another battery. after that you can always try official rom to exclude hardware and in the end if it actually is hardware you can take back for warranty,
Thanks,
Just identified the RUU I need to bring it back to stock, was wondering if you could answer a quick question on that though. As I've done S-OFF and installed the N1-Boot Table, will I need to manually switch the N1-Boot back to normal boot table?
Pretty sure the S-OFF will revert back to S-ON when I flash the RUU although please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks again!
yes you rather do it manually before proceeding because actually it will fail if you don't do so. N1 table is to small for sense roms either way. as you have done it already it is really easy to do so. just double check MD5SUM.
i included a really small file to check MD5SUM in windows.
i think you will get it now
Any update on this issue? My desire has started doing the same thing, reboot when unplug from mains charger
I also have S-OFF with n1 table, can anyone help fix this problem?
I've had a similar issue, can't say if it will happen to you, but shortly after my desire started rebooting when i unplugged it, it developed more serious problems.
E.G. bluetooth wouldn't work and I couldn't connect the USB to mount the SD Card to a PC
I had S-OFF but with the default partition layout.
I'd say it's a hardware fault, but thats just me.
I managed to update my Desire to the latest RUU and have sent it in for repairs, should get it back later this week.
Finally, what recovery are you using?
Actually, i think I solved the problem, it appears it was caused by a bad flash, which led to the USB-BRICK, which has been mentioned elsewhere on the forums (i just hadn't actually tried to mount sd-card over USB)
Anyway I followed the instructions to fix the USB-BRICK (i.e. flashing misc mtd0.img) and now my charger is working fine again, so glad I didn't have to send my desire off for repair.
btw. I am using CWM recovery
Hi!
I rooted with Unrevoked & then Alpha S-Off-ed it, earlier on I went to flash the new radio from within recovery as I always have done, it said it had installed, so chose restart n now its just dead - nothing ness :'(
I've pulled the battery out n left it for a while & then put a fully charged batter in and tried switching it on, but its still dead! What can I do to bring life back to my poor fone?
PLEASE help me :'(
Pulling out the battery when flashing radio is a totally no-go. IMHO, your desire is completely bricked and now nothing more than an expensive paperweight.
Put battery in, press volume down and power on. Got any sign of recovery? If not then I fear that the previous poster is correct. It's surprisingly difficult to brick these things, I've gone down the whole "SD card not recognized" and "USB brick" road and still have a working phone.
I've also learned that flashing the radio can be a terminal issue if not done correctly (flashed mine at least 3 times now). I really hope that you can get into recovery as above (or 'back' and 'power'). If you can get into either of those then you're not bricked. If you can't, I feel for you
You shouldn't flash radio.zip when you are S-Off. You must extract the .img from the .zip file and use either fastboot terminal, or Android Flasher, to push.
No-one can diagnose your situation without seeing your phone, but all the RESEARCH I did before I S-Off'd told me that trying to flash radio.zip afterwards would likely prove terminal...
Partiton sizes?
Which partition layout you were using before flashing radio.zip through recovery?
There is a warning on alpharev web site:
If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.

I'm currently rooted stock Froyo without any customisations apart from rooted & S-Off'ed.
Well I am VERY pleased to say that after leaving the battery out for the night, it now WORKS again
Before I gave up last night I even tried plugging in the charger but no light came on, this morning I held back & power and I saw the familiar "Why so serious" screen and all is well again, AND it actually DID update my radio version too
Next time I will definately use other measures to flash the radio now I realise I could potentually harm my slowly dying fone!
A quick question: where would I get a new system board from for my desire and what price range would I be looking at? (I've checked ebay but so far no Desire boards are there)
Thanks all and Im glad to report panic over
have you tried flashing according RUU with goldcard??
I have a serious issue with my DHD since yesterday. The battery was empty and when I got home I put in the charger. Instead of the normal continuous red glow it was a blinking one. I also couldn't start my DHD at all.
I left it for some time and eventually it started up. Unfortunately it kept in the bootloader and none of the options work. I removed the battery for some time and reinserted it. Then the phone "flashed" (yes, the flash on the backside flashed..) and I couldn't start it for some time.
Anyone familiar with this problem? I've googled it for some time but no one seems to have had the exact problem.
At the store they said it was possible it was waterdamage and suggested I looked for an answer here before attempting an expensive repair (no warranty thx to the rooting).
Can anyone help me?
Not quite sure what the problem could be but if you were going to send it back for warranty you might want to try restoring your device to stock using this guide here. I know it says for Australia Vodafone but I'm sure you can find your RUU and use that instead. Might save you quite a bit of money if you were to go with that option.
Hmm, thx for your reply.
I can borrow a DHD full battery from a friend. Hopefully I can connect it to the computer then and do it.
Right..
I am connected to the phone (it says FASTBOOT USB). However I am unable to use the RUU application. What else can I try?
I'm not too sure what your situation is but if you would like to explain a bit on the current status of your phone I'm sure it would help others and myself in helping you. Like is your phone able to go into the bootloader? Does it already have Radio S-OFF/ENG S-OFF? Does it have any Recovery image like ClockworkMod Recovery installed? Have you tried flashing another custom Rom? Which steps have you performed whilst following the restoring guide?
Cheers
Alright, it now loads into bootloader:

Recovery gives HTC green screen forever
FaCTORY RESET goes to fastboot
fastboot works
Now it will not start at all. I recharged my battery to full using another DHD but my phone won't start anymore.
Only the "flash" when I insert the battery.
Bon, I am one step further.
I waited a couple of minutes and started by DHD in bootloader mode (this worked!). Then I rebooted from the bootloader.
HTC screen appeared.. and yes! normal DHD screen appeared as well!
It is working. Charging workes with the full battery.
Now I inserted my old battery and it is flashing red. I am going to wait a couple of minutes and try to start it again. Let's see what happens then.

Red flash normally if you press volume + up while booting
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Good to know that it's working again! Could possibly be an issue with the battery rather than the phone itself, that would save you a lot of trouble I would imagine.
i have experienced that find an original ruu. new sense 3 would be the best. the zip versions are usable then flash through bootloader mail me for more information

Hello everyone, I got a used Wildfire S in trade with my One X
this phone has a issue
When I charge it, it battery percentage (tried different apps) at some point like 38% 69% 77% stuck even I keep on charging for 2 hours it wont increase, for I diagnosing the issue, I swapped my dad's htc explorer battery with mine, My battery on his phone show 100% charge and discharge normally like Explorer's original battery, then I charged it in explorer and it charged full 100%
but when I charge his phone battery in my phone it stucks at some point, but when I inserted his battery again in his phone it was fully charged and discharge normally
(Also tried different USB cables)
So issue lies within my phone (Probably ROM)
1. My phone is next G telstra network branded but work fines in my country
2. under battery it state model no A510B pg76120 so does under software
3. in network settings, i can select GSM only/CDMA only/GSM-CDMA auto/ and my network is GSM
4. software version is 2.26.841.4
5. under bootloader I get following info (I have unlocked bootloader and installed CWM recovery)
