Hey guys,
Was just looking through the market and saw an animations app, so i downloaded it, installed as normal, accepted the superuser request and chose what animation i wanted, (I chose blur if it makes any difference). It then requested a reboot, so i rebooted, but now nothing happens to my phone, It is just like the phone is powered off, nothing comes up on the screen. Ive tried booting normally and booting into recovery but nothing
Any ideas?
I'm using Leedroid ROM and Kernel, both on the latest versions.
Thanks in advance.
So just to be sure, you held volume down and pressed the power button simultaneously and after a few seconds nothing happened though you should see at least the HTC logo for a moment.
Did you also try to get the battery out and back in?
Also try plugging the power cable in and load the phone - this starts CWM for me every time (running on Leedroid too).

Yes tried everything there, its almost as if there is no power going to the phone, nothing seems to work :/
I am deeply confused if you say no power gets to the phone when connecting with the power cable :-\ You had enough power when rebooting? Can you try another battery from someone to check the functionality of yours?
Here my ideas sort of stop, maybe someone else has got an idea?

Yes i was wondering if my battery is faulty or something, i will try a new battery i think
Doesn't have to be the case, but in such a world full of HTC users it would be an easy test to find out about this possibility. It's just so... strange.

Nope emailed HTC but they weren't very helpful, think i'm just gonna send it off for repair
I don't know if it makes any difference, what about taking out the battery for more than a moment like 10 minutes? I remember such stuff from PCs (and honestly, these phones became small PCs ^^) when there were certain hardware related issues when you had to not only switch it off and on, but also switch it off, disconnect, then hold power to release the last leftovers of voltage and leave it out for a few minutes. You can't loose more right now when trying this.
Hello,
I have huge problem with my GF's HTC Desire, phone is 1 year old and today when she got back from University, she tried to turn the phone on its stuck on HBOOT screen (see pic).
I was trying to do everything but nothing works. I have restarted phone like 100+ times, by pulling battery out of device.
I have been searching this forum, googling and doing w/e I can think of to find solution to this problem.
The phone never been rooted, is S-ON.
All is on the pic.
While I'm on this screen nothing works - cant move by using volume buttons or do something by using power button. When I connect him to USB device shows that it is connected.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Sounds like water damage.
Try booting into fastboot by pressing BACK and POWER. Then running a RUU for your network provider (shipper-roms.com). If you can't find one, make a goldcard (google tutorials), and download the latest WWE RUU. You can make the goldcard using ANY phone, it does not matter.
EDIT: boot into fastboot mode with way previously stated, plug into USB and run this http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157560_signed.zip
If the phone isn't recognised, try installing HTC Sync, then re-trying the RUU.
Sorry for late answer,
I have checked what you wrote, and it didn't work.
Looks like only POWER button is working, nothing more.
When I press BACK and POWER it still shows same screen as I posted before.
About 'water problem' yes phone got a bite wet today, but it was a couple drops on the back.
In that screen select fastboot by pressing Power button. You can navigate with volume button.
Like I wrote in first post.
Nothing is working when I start phone I can't do anything, can't navigate, can't select anything.
I would send it back to htc or at least the store it came from!

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just can't find it.
My Wildfire's screen froze a couple of times, then the last time I removed the battery and reinserted it.
When I tried to power back up I got the vibrate but nothing on the screen, so I repeated a couple of times with no luck.
I then tried the Hboot method (Hold vol - and power) and I got the Hboot on, but when I tried to navigate using the volume buttons nothing happened, so removed battery and tried to repeat, I couldn't get back to Hboot. I have only been able to get the Hboot screen that one time.
When I power up, I get 1 vibrate and nothing on screen.
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on.
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume - then the power button but still only one vibrate.
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck.
Is there anything that can be done to save my Wildfire?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Seems like you're in Qualcomm Diagnostic mode. Though I don't remember the solution, some Googling might help

Any help please
I've tried the method stated on this forum but with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
--- EDIT ---
So you wrote your question again in the "Wildfire S" (Marvel) Forums - in this case the much more important question would be: what phone are you talking about? A Wildfire (Buzz) or a "Wildfire S" (Marvel). Despite the name those have almost nothing in common - they are totally different devices
--- EDIT ---
I'll answer in this thread although you opened another one in Q&A.
You haven't been too specific with your problem but sometimes it helps to have all the details
So here we go:
a) did the phone work correct (besides the freezes) before you took out the battery?
b) is your WF rooted & s-off?
c) which ROM?
d)
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on

does this happen when connected to PC or charger or not
e)
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume

Believe me: the more details you provide the more likely someone might have a solution or at least an idea what's going on
OK, sorry for the lack of info!
My phone is a Wildfire, not a WildfireS.
A: Yes, was working.
B: No, never needed to.
C: Not sure, never kept a record of it. It's one of the first models though if that helps.
D: This happens without USB cord attached. When the USB cord is attached I pull the battery and the green light stays on.
E: Yes, I've tried this for over 10secs before.
F: Yes, after blank screen. I installed on SD card and followed the directions. Bare in mind, I cant set Debug or the charge only setting.
Thanks!

That's what I thought. In this case you won't be able to flash any other ROM - you could just do the usual upgrades by HTC
This doesn't sound to me to be a minor problem (but probably someone else might correct me here) - nevertheless - just to make sure: have you tried to do a hard factory reset following the HTC user guide?
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button (instead of holding it)
if this boots your phone up:
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset
(errm and yes: this will delete all your user data, of course...)
Click to expand...

But I assume you have done that anyway - did you try to connect your phone to the PC (HTC drivers installed, of course)?
How about charging - does the phone seem to behave normal - i.e. if you keep it from charging for a few hrs does it show the red LED for charging mode and the green one for being fully charged?
That's pretty much all I could suggest from scratch. - Hopefully someone else with a good idea will step in here :fingers-crossed:
OK, still have the Wildfire with the annoying blank screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix?
Thanks!

besides the suggestion of the Qualcomm diagnostic mode (no I don't know anything about that): did you try to power up without the sdcard, yet?
Furthermore I slightly remember that you could do a factory reset using a key combination - but I'm not sure about it.
Same goes for a RUU. Are you able to connect to the phone with the PC?
Really just random guessing - hard if no error messages appear...
Yes, tried with the SD card.
Because I can't see the screen I tried it loads of times, all with different combinations.
I can't get any vibrate from volume down + long hold power.
I will only get a vibrate from volume down + short hold power.
What would be ideal if there's a way to use ODIN PC to flash a new ROM, well that's what I think it is, faulty ROM?
Thanks!

really hard to say as there's not a little information what's going on. What if just the screen is dead? have you tried to wait after boot and insert your pin after a while (I mean try to guess where the numbers might be) and call your number?
Why anyone want's to use ODIN on non-samsung?!
ODIN is purely just for SAMSUNG products
If you have warranty.. put it to service centre.. they will fix it
Need hard reset power off your phone press volume DOWN and power. YOU WILL FIX IT EASYLI.

Hey there!
I'm bumping this because I have the same problem and creating a new thread seemed more bad to me.
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.
I found out my battery was swollen 5 days ago. It's probably because of my charging habits. My battery life have shortened everyday this 5 days. Yesterday morning I wiped my battery stats to get a better battery life. When I was back home my phone's battery has depleted while I was listening to music.
I came to home, plugged my phone to charge and waited 15 mins to get it charged a bit to open. When I tried to open it, it vibrated but the "green htc text on white background" screen didn't come up. The screen wasn't working. I tried what is said before in this tried. Once I got managed to see the bootloader but the volume keys weren't working (as above) After some moments of rage, my brother offered to test the touch, I opened the phone, (as I dont have a PIN) we waited for some minutes and then he called me. I mimiced the answering gestured and boom, I could talk with my brother.
I bought a new screen as I think screen is broken. But it could be because mainboards screen part is damaged (probably because of my faulty battery, voltage wavings etc.) or something completely different.
Please guys help me. I can't buy a new phone atm so I have to fix this

Ouch sounds like a rough one :/ OK so you have no visual, but do have touch and audio? Are you s-off or s-on? You could try to "blind feed" the rom.zip of a ruu to the bootloader to try restore it. But it may well be that your battery has killed the screen. Have you ordered a new battery?

I'm S-OFF. I had it written in my old sig.
I too think that it was the battery that killed the screen. Ordered both a screen and a battery but they won't be coming before 20 days at least. Damn you China, why you have to be that far.
Anyhoo, I can't get to the bootloader anymore. Or I think I can't get it. I once managed to get it but volume buttons weren't working. After that in every try I couln't see the bootloader screen. But you're right. When I can't see the bootloader, it doesn't mean I don't get the screen. I could do it with a fellow's help. But only after a few days. I'm getting a surgery in 10 hours. Can't really care about my phone right now

First I have to ask, do you get a vibration feedback when you are getting into bootloader by VolDown + Power buttons?

I'm just not sure I can get into bootloader. When I Vol- + Power no vibration, no light on softkeys nothing.
There is no vibration when going to bootloader.
After reading that HTC ditched plans to offer an update for the Desire HD, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Despite my technical ability being sadly lacking, I attempted to update it myself with a rom and Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK). I thought I'd followed the instructions to the letter, but unfortunately I was left with an unusable phone.
The phone occasionally loads up the AAHK screen, but not for very long, eventually changing to a black screen with the soft key backlight switched on.
I was hoping somebody here would be kind and clever enough to help me get back to a working phone. I've learnt my lesson.
Thanks in advance!
Can you boot the phone to HBOOT/recovery?
(Hold Vol-Down, and then press the power button).
No, when I do that all I get is the white screen that reads HTC.

When did you run AAHK? It was retired a few days ago and the server hosting the files it needs was taken down. And what do you mean by the AAHK screen? Do you mean the bootloader? If so, what does it say?

It was some time before Christmas. This is the first opportunity I've had to tackle the issue.
By AAHK screen I mean the screen that reads "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top, followed by some options. It also reads ACE HACK KIT in big letters below the list. It only stays onscreen for around ten seconds. The backlight of the buttons remains on.

You're sure? Volume-DOWN and power? How about if you wait for a long time (like, 30 minutes)? That's very odd. Do you have a log of what AAHK did? What version of Android was your phone on when you ran AAHK? What version of Android was it shipped with?
I have the same problem "achieved" it the same way,
Got two DdesireHD I planned to use for a project, the one with old ROM got rooted and works fine.
The one with newer ROM, never downgraded properly, and I am stuck at the white screen with HTC logo.
Pressing VOL-Down, pressing power for 2 sec, the releasing power - and 3 sec after that releasing vol-dn.)
It still mounts as a drive, and lsusb shows it's there, but AAHK fails to detect a HTC device..

I have a bricked Xperia Ion that would boot loop on sony logo without being recognized by my computer and as far as I tried, I cant get it to flashmode. It's a Kernel issue because when my phone exits low charging mode, it just bootloops again until the battery drains itself.
It's a lt28at, so my bootloader is locked. Here where I live (venezuela) is difficult to find the apropiate tools to take apart my phone and unplug the battery from the mainboard, but i had already tried hard reseting my phone twice, leaving it to charge and then as soon the red led dissapears, I prepare flashtool with my firmware and connect it keeping the down volume key pressed with no luck.
I*ll keep trying, everybody says my phone is impossible to brick due to the locked bootloader but I have a question that needs to be answered:
Hard reseting the phone does the same effect than taking my batery apart and leave the phone 10-15 to reset itself?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No the hard reset is not the same. For some reason the device will freak out causing this issue. Taking the device apart and unplug the battery is the best way to get your phone running again. It takes allot less time and is not hard to do with a bit of mechanical knowledge. If you want to try the other way then listen careful. When you do the reset with power and volume there is actually three phases. We know about the one buzz and three buzz. If you have payed attention while doing it you may have noticed that just before the first buzz the screen will bleed out and shut off. If you do that after it starts to loop from charging it should then allow you to plug it in to the computer in flash mode.
Keep in mind if it does buzz you will most likely have to start over. So as soon as you see it let go of the buttons. Hope it helps.
Ok, so I get the first buzz, then immediately i left the up button to press the down button while connecting to pc with flashmode ready? I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because it just starts to loop again.
Try reinstalling your Flash tool & the drivers of your device is might help you to detect flashboot

No you can not let it buzz. You must let go as soon as you see the screen start to bleed out. It does this just before the first buzz. Again if you watch it while holding the buttons the screen will start to shut off. As soon as you see it you must let go of the buttons. If you do it right it will shut off and then you can try to connect it with flash mode. Also before you set up your flash make sure the device connects and loads the flash driver. Then you can flash your file.

The newer Sony devices have a reset function seeing as most have internal battery's. By holding the power and volume + keys it will do one of three things.
1 After about three seconds the screen will go off almost like it bleeds out. This is force shut off.
2 If you keep holding the buttons it will buzz once. This is force reboot.
3 If you continue to hold them it will buzz three times. This is a force reset. Almost like a battery pull type situation.
Thanks so much.
With a stock kernel, how reliable is this?
