I rooted my desire today using unrevoked and flashed it with cyanogenmod 7. It worked for a few hours but after that the phone turned of and I can't turn it on anymore. If i plug it in the wall and have the battery in it rumbles and shows the htc screen for a short time (not even a second) and than goes black en keeps doing that indefinitely. If I hold the volume down button it keeps blinking but it shows the fastboot screen for a brief moment instead of the htc logo.
as soon as i disconnect the usb cable the phone turns off, even if the battery is inserted.
does anyone know what could be wrong with my phone?

Must be a hardware fault. Something in the electronics department got fried. Could be the contacts between the battery and the mainboard or the battery died. If you know anyone with a HTC Desire try to use their battery and see what happens.
I just fixed it. The battery wasn't making contact with the mainboard. I fixed it by putting some duct tape on the inside of the backcover so it pushes the battery against the mainboard.

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)
Yesterday my phone didn't manage to boot in Cyanogen mod 10.1, it showed the logo then froze..
After a while the screen went black, and the battery was nearly at 0% so i don't know the correct motivation for the turn off, if it was due to the reboot since cm wasn't loading or just no juice in the battery.
No it doesn't turn on no matter how many seconds I keep the switch on button.
Can't even get to bootloader or HTC white screen.
Connected to a PC it doesn't show up (neither as APC). The red light doesn't turn on.
I don't know if it is charging, but as it stay connected to the plug it became warm as if it were charging.
Said that it is no more under warranty (bought in China, now i'm in Italy) how would cost a repair? Is it convenient or just buy a Nexus 4 and say goodbye to my HTC?
Best regards!!
Connect your phone to a wall charger for a few hours and then hold down the Power Button + Volume Down button together until the bootloader shows up!
If you can go there, you can revive your HOX!
Repairing or buying a new N4 is completely your choice. If it is indeed a hardware fault and the motherboard needs to be replaced, it could be quite expensive!
So here's the story.
It was last night. It was dark, and I proceeded to charge my phone. I didn't see where I was plugging in the adapter into the wall, so instead of having both adapters in the correct sockets, I had the right prong of the adapter into the left hole of the power bar socket, and the left prong of the adapter into nothing.
Of course, being dark, I didn't see, but it went in so I thought I plugged it in properly.
So my phone is "charging", and I proceeded to flash a new ROM (Android Overdrive). My battery at that time was at around 30%. So I went to recovery, did the regular full factory reset, and flashed it, and when it rebooted, it had the 4-coloured X boot animation playing, when I heard a funny, continuous, low electronic humming sound eminating from my phone and the screen started getting funky and turned a shade of purple. I quickly unplugged the usb, and proceeded to restart the phone.
Phone freezes at boot animation.
I went into bootloader, and successfully navigated to recovery. I proceeded to do a full wipe, and reflash the old rom.
It flashed successfully but I had the same problem of getting stuck on the bootanimation.
Now the phone won't turn on when I press the power button. When I plug it into the wall it shows the charging icon thing, then it turns off, then it turns back on, and repeats like that forever.
When I press the power button when it's plugged in the phone gets stuck at the charging battery screen (The screen freezes).
Also, when I plug my phone into my computer, my computer (windows 7) makes a disconnect sound, followed by three short beeps in quick succession that are at the same pitch as the last note of the two-note disconnect melody. It does this on repeat forever.
PS: I just managed to put the phone into bootloader mode and I am leaving it plugged in. I am going to see if it is still responsive after 30 minutes of just sitting there on the homepage of bootloader mode.
PPS: It was stable after 30 mins; I could still press up and down and select whatever i want. BUT as soon as I unplugged the USB, the device shut off. Is it the battery problem?
Does anyone know yet what's wrong with my phone?
A friend of mine had a similar problem... Never solved it, keep us updated mate...
Sounds like a battery problem. You might wanna get a replacement battery if you can. Word of advice. Never ever flash anything if your phone isn't fully charged or at a good battery percentage. Personal experience

Yes sir you are correct! I have a friend who also had a Gnex, and I swapped batteries and lo and behold, my phone works again! Now I don't have to drop $400 on a nexus 4 =D
First thing is first, I have been searching here and Google and have not found this exact problem.
I am running cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY currently
Today my phone turned off on its own while connected to a car charger.
Here is what it is doing.
When the battery is connected the phone turns on and gets to the Samsung logo, then it goes black. No back light, nothing. If I pull the battery and re-insert it, it happens again. Once it goes black none of the buttons seem to be responsive (cannot force a reboot by holding the power button). Once it goes black if I connect it to a charger I get no LED indicating charge level.
If I try to boot into recovery I see the blue text and then it goes black.
If I try to boot into download mode I can get to the triangle screen if I am fast and then it goes black.
If I have a data USB cable connected and I connect the battery the phone does nothing, and will not respond to the power button, again no LED light indicating charge level.
If I have a charge only cable (wall outlet) connected and I connect the battery I see the battery charge icon for about 1 second and then the screen goes black. and the phone will not respond to any buttons.
I have duplicated all these things with 2 batteries both actual Samsung batteries, neither of the batteries is bubbled out at all.
I have tried leaving the battery out for several hours, but this did not help.
I have data on this phone that was not backed up so any suggestions I will try.
Thanks

Return to stock with Odin to see if the problem goes away. If not, report back and we will go from there.

I had this problem before and I was freaking out, but it was just the cord I used when trying to connect it, but yours sounds like an overload problem, maybe from your car charger if it plugs into the car lighter socket. My buddy has a super recharger that hooks into his lighter socket, and while it may charge fast, it might have jolted your phone, or maybe you had it over clocked in your rom? Or was it a recent occurrence or did it happen as soon as you installed the rom? Because this happens on a bad flash sometimes, if your Wi-Fi connection is shaky or far off, you could get a bad download and it will royally harm your time having to mess with it.

I had flashed the night before and it ran fine all night and all morning, then it just shut down. The car charger I use is not a super charger, but it is also not a Samsung charger. I was not overclocked and my wifi is not shaky usually.
Seems like I am screwed either way.

This blows, I just had the Same Exact thing happen last night, word for word.
Although I'm on a stock Rom that's rooted.
Phone was in my pocket and it vibrated as it restarted on its own. Pulled it out of my pocket, waited for it to fully start up, then I could use it.
However, it rebooted 2 minutes later and has Never come back yet.
I wish there was some sure fire way to verify if its the screen that went bad or the logic board. The mere fact the screen shows the Galaxy S4 logo, or Download Mode for a few seconds before shutting off seems weird if the screen was in fact bad.... =(

Check your power button, it could be stuck.

You were correct! Had to mess with that button a bit to get to work properly, but its still an issue. One to many power button presses and the issue returns.
I have tested the phone without the exterior power button only using the logic board button and it did that same thing. Am I correct to assume that the fault is the actual button on the logic board? So new logic board to fix this? =(
Why so many presses of the power button?

Hi,
I tried to search the forum but couldn't get mine working.
I got HTC One M8 partially dead from my friend, so that I can check it. TWRP recovery is installed. HTC Boot logo show " This build is for development purpose only..."
Now I have three different genuine chargers with me. One from HTC One M8, another from HTC ONE Max and third is from HTC Evo 3D. If I plug the charger in computer to get it detected and then try some adb cmd on it. It will just keep restarting after showing first boot logo. Then when I put it to its own wall charger it get on and the TWRP recovery screen appears for 1 sec and then the battery information that it is charging. few seconds later TWRP recovery screen just appear again for 1 sec and goes away while the phone is yet charging.
The battery charging information shows that is phone is charging up and the LED is stable. I let it charge over night and was 100% in the morning. As soon as I removed the wall charger. The phone went off. I tried to power it on but it didn't. I put the phone again to charge with wall charger but it again started from 1%. The phone goes off as soon as I remove it from wall charger and then start charging again from 1% if I put it back.
It is not water damaged, neither it has been hit hard, nor dissembled.
What I have tried it to get into hboot by holding POWER+Vol Down. Also Tried POWER+Vol up for 10-20 sec. I also tried to go through Battery calibration by holding VOL Down+VOL UP and Power for 2min+. Phone doesn't show any life if I try it on battery, not even vibration. Only on wall charger it start doing it regular procedure as said above.
Now the question is if it charging the Battery at all? Because I don't feel the phone heating up a bit while charging. Or is it some other problem?!
Thanks
Any help?
