Hi, I think my phone just broke.
It's a HTC Desire Z.
Today I tried flshing a new radio image, but it didn't work , got the write failed message, from within phone os (virtuous froyo 1.0.2)
Got hboot 0.85.xxxx.
This was at work and since I had no compatible USB cable I thought I'd wait until I got home.
Well at home i selected boot to bootloader from holding the power button, the phone shutdown and that's it.
Now only lifesigns are the orange charge led.
When pulling the battery and inserting it, connectiong the usb cable the light comes on, pulling the cable it turns of.
When cable connected and pressing vol down + power, nothing happens, pulling the cable leaves the charge light still on.
Trying vol down + power without the cable does aboslutely nothing.
Do, does anyone have any clue what I can do ?
The phone worked flawlessly until the reboot point.
Iknow the first desire had some special key combination to get into some blue-led mode, haven't found anything on this so far.
it does not show up in devices in computer management either.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I found the vol up + power it shows up as Qualomm CDMA Technologies MSM in device management.

There must be a way to recover this type of brick, to dd a new hboot image.
Lets face it, the hboot image was flashed to a brand new HW at some point, the Q will therefor be, how do they do it, and how can we all do it?
Research continues.....
Ok, does anyone know how to fix a broken bootloader on the Desire Z ?
I figured out that the bootloader is broken, this because I mixed up radio and hboot image yesterday and tried to write the radio image to hboot partition, this is why I got a message telling me write error because of space issues.
Now I have my old Desire Bravo, wich is working better than all desire bravos here at work
But I want my Z back in bizniz.

Scary stuff. T-Mobile didnt replace it for you?

have you got insurance??
u could drop it down the stairs at your workplace... claim on insurance... make sure its truely broke though...
just a stupid thought
if warrenty wont replace then insurance most probabally will... if its so broken you cant even turn it on to get the led. lol
either way mate i really hope you get it sorted soon best of luck!
You have brick your phone. bootloader is broken no fix for it. Sorry.
If you do not have warranty call htc Norway and say that you try to update your Software WITH HTC SYNC. They are very customer friendly there.

I've been talking to mcare and deltaservice, they seems to be unable to help me since the bootloader is broken, I know this issue can be worked out with JTAG on the old desire, just have to wait for JTAG update on the Z, then I'll be up and running again, btw, I'm getting a new phone AND got to keep the old one
Ohhh, yeah.
BOYAAAAHHH!
I still wonder what the volume up + power key combo is good for.
When the phone is started in this mode, it shows, as mentioned earlier, as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device in device manager on my puter, diagnostics mode ? possible way to get write access to internal memory, like say.... /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 so we can repair the bootloader without any advanced tear down of the phone and fancy equipment ?
If ANYONE have a clue on this feel free to share it with everyone else that has a Desire z/Vision. Thank you.
btw, took some high res pics here:

Hi there,
I'm having strange issues with DHD. I've read a few threads with issues like this, but symptoms are always slightly different.
Yesterday, I've connected it to the charger (the battery was empty), and when I tried to turn it on, it just did 3 vibrations and orange notif. LED started blinking. When connected to the USB, the Windows recognizes device as Qualcomm, and further reading suggested that the phone is entering service mode, which is normally accessible with Power + Vol+. I've also found out that volume rocker can be the issue, but in my case I don't see anything wrong with it, it's working and looking like before.
No matter what I did, it always did the same, it won't even go into recovery (Power + Vol-), screen always stays blank, the only activity I'm getting are flashing LEDs and vibrations.
Also, phone is charging when turned off (battery removed and reinserted). I've charged it for a few hours yesterday and the green LED was on.
And finally, when turned off, and plugged into the USB, after few seconds, adb devices will show the device, and after the serial number it says recovery. Does that mean that the phone booted into the recovery? The screen is still black though.
So, the most important thing for me is to find out is it possible to return the phone back to stock, in order to send it for a repair. And even better, a solution for the problem
I believe its a hardware problem, although adb says its in recovery. Any more ibfo you could give us? ROM, how you rooted it etc?
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?
Take off battery,connect phone to charger via USB for 3 minutes ,than insert battery put battery cover now u should see orange light ,now press power button and voila
It's an issue with the volume rocker I think
Had a very similar issue when I had IceColdSandwich on my DHD, only started when I flashed that Rom, reflashed a different Rom, everything is fine again!

I'm not sure that the issue is with ROM, I'm starting to think that it's probably a hardware issue. And that's why I need to found out how to return everything to stock, and send it for warranty.
Try again it will work .may be leave it longer after you put the battery in like an hour .it should work after an hour press the power button

Thankyou so much after leaving phone in cupboard for like 5 years and forgot why it was on there I decided to plug it up. Then I remembered it wouldn't turn on and I was getting the orange blinking. After following your instructions it's all on again. Have upgraded since then so I guess this is a back up phone now lol

What happens when you plug the phone in? Does the green/orange led light up? If it does what color? Best case scenario, you have a bad cable or a bad adaptor and your phone wasn't charging. Worst case, fried board, dead battery or dead screen (phone is on, just the screen isn't lighting up).
The orange or green light dont come on soo what now??

You can try hooking it up to a PC and see if the PC can still find your phone. But from the sounds of it, it maybe a hardware failure somewhere. I would contact HTC if it's under warranty to have it repaired.
I ahd the same problem, dead - even power did not help
Try putting it on power overnight.
I hvae it in service for now, (but I used CM10 - and it broke down) I just hope the service will not have any problems with it and don't see it, for changing my hole motherboard

After having rooted it did they fix it?
Just flashed Ice Cold Jelly and rebooted but I seem to have no power to the unit now.
Obviously the bootloader is unlocked and it is rooted so I wasn't sure if they'd even work on it or what it would cost to do so. It is still under warranty.
When you connect the phone to a pc and it comes up as APX = Hardware failure ! As far as i know there is no fix for this
They changed my motherboard and I got it back . Didn't have to pay nothing.

Found it.
I tryed everything, nothing worked.After the JB update the hox only shows his logo.
Last time i let him receive the big JB update, but before installing it i made a copy to update.zip on the root of the sd.
Then after installing the update and again only showing the htc logo, i rebooted in the recovery and used custom recovery to write the boot again. Now everything works .
Thx anyway.
Keep up the good work here:good::good::good:

lol you bricked your phone by installing an ROM meant for the international One X, not the dual core version.
HTC one international ICJ bricked
Hi all,
Please forgive me if I've done something wrong posting here, I'm new here and I'm trying to post in the most relevant forum.
I have the international HTC One X (Tegra 3 etc) and Ive been using Ice Cold Jelly for a while. Yesterday I flashed Ice Cold 2.2 (the one meant for the international) with all the recommended wipes using TWRP. The phone worked fine for about 10 mins then froze with a messed up screen. I tried to reboot but it froze again during the reboot and hasn't turned on since. There's no LED at all when it's plugged in charging to any power source and it won't boot up no matter what I do.
I've done my best to search for solutions but to no avail, any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the quick response!
It doesn't seem to be recognised by any operating system at all - as in the operating systems can't see it. There's no notification of hardware failure or even a device being connected.
What happends when you hold the power button and the volume - button together for a long time.....say like 30 seconds

I have a same problem, My htc one is bricked when I went to update it to the latest orginal android via gprs, my battery had 40% charge and the updating process was on 75% and it is turned off, now when i connect it to the windows 8 the windows tell me something connected to usb but I can not access to anything on my phone and the phone not charging via charger....
Is here anyone to tell me how to fix it or is it fixable or not please?
Got a acro S 2 months back.. last week the screen went suddenly went BLANK. No display at all, only backlight.
Tried various method and updated using Sony PC companion to latest firmware.
I can turn on the phone. I can go into bootloader and go into flash mode. But screen is blank. When I plug in the usb to my PC, I can access the directory in the phone.
What can I do now?? Help me....
Have you tried hard reset yet??
Hold the Power button and Volume up button for few seconds. First you will feel one vibration then after a while 3 more vibration.
Then power on the device again.
If this doesn't help, then may be it could be a hardware issue.
Tried the hard reset. I even dismantled the whole phone to unplug the battery and check for any loose connection and water ingression...
I am suspecting it is hardware issue too
Anyone knows where to get cheap replacement screen?
Thank you.
Then it seems that it's a hardware fault. You may check here.

Hello all, I am in need of some help. I recently bought a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) and haven't had a chance to get service on it until what would've been today. This is the reason why I can't:
last night I had it connected to my PC doing some data transfers and things, until my PC said it was disconnected. I wasn't all too worried about it because I was done and was actually ready to unplug it. Before I reached for the phone, it started to vibrate in a weird pattern. I grabbed it almost as soon as it had finished vibrating, and then to my realization it, it wouldn't turn on.
Here's what I've done since then:
1. I immediately tried to turn it on
2. I plugged it back up to my PC, no connection
3. I plugged it up to the ASUS AC Charger and let it charge to see if it would come on that way (Nothing, didn't start up, no LED Light, nada)
4. Left it charging overnight
5. Tried to turn it on this morning, nothing.
6. Waited a few hours after unplugging from AC charger and still nothing.
Please help me :crying: What should I do?
Long-press power button for 5 seconds and wait for 2x vibrations?
I imagine you did that, but I figured I'd ask how you're trying to turn it on.
Does it give any response at all? Holding the power button?
Recommend to test with a different USB cable or adapter.
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

Same here, the thing was i charged it with an aukey backup batery.

Other phone works fine when suddenly disconnected, this only happen to ASUS Zenfone 2. And btw the phone and cables i use is original from ASUS.

hi, i have the same problem here, it really wont turn on. how's your phone? were you able to do something about it? im really worried. Thanks a lot.
If you are unable to power up after long charge, ensured cable is firmly connected, tested with different USB cable/or adapter, then it may require sending in for warranty service.

Has someone been able to fix it? Is it a loose port, problem with the motherboard, or a problem with the battery itself?

Hi guys, i had the same issue with my ASUS zenfone twice! The first time the repair center took a look at it, they saw a loose connection inside the unit, they just faastened it then it turned on. After 2 weeks, the same thing happened again, then i returned to the repair center. This time, they said that they found out that the battery software was corrupted (factory fault), they changed the battery software and they got the phone running again. It's been a week since I had my phone working and hopefully this issue will not happen again.
Guys!!! Try this, hold down power button until it reboot two or three times, to be exact until the reboot screen goes blue then let go the power button. yea, weirdly i did it that way and i got my phone working again
How much did it cost?
I had purchased 2 ZenFone 2, 1 for me and my wife on 5/11/2015.
Well my wife's Zen2 wouldn't turn on and it had a full charge 3 days ago.
I've tired a hard reset connected to a different usb cable and also charger, messed with it for 2 days and NADA it was DEAD......
She doesn't use the phone much maybe 1 gb of data for the month and under 100 mins and she hates to text..
But I did get the extended warranty from Newegg for $25 per phone and they will email you a gift card for the same price of what I paid for the phone.
As soon as the Tracking info hit UPS the gift card came in my email within 36 hours and I ordered her The ZenFone 2 Laser which should be here Tomorrow hopefully she will be happy with it.
Same problem here. I plugged my zenphone 2 on my pc to transfer files. It vibrate and turns off. Tried to replugged it to my pc but does not work. I also use different usb cable and adapter but still it wont open nor charge. Is there anyway my phone be restored? I've tried the hard reset but to no avail. Please help.

My asus zenfone 2 went completely dead a few days ago for some reason. The only sing i see is that after i plug it in, after about 10-20 seconds it will just vibrate once. But nothing else is happening. Doesnt respond to any power or volume button pressed.
