Issues with booting (blinking orange LED) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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

Today, i visit the service, flat cable and battery where reinserted and everything is normal now. You could try this method if you have a warranty. Best regards.

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

Desire HD wont turn on?

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.
What happend if you plug in the power cable? Isn't booting into recovery?

Take your battery out for five minutes, put it back and connect charger. Do not touch the power button.

Take the battery out again, put it back and then hold volume down & power button. You can also connect the charger to be sure that this is not caused by low battery level. If it still stays off, you should send it to HTC.

Yep still nothing happens, send it to HTC even though it is rooted?
You have no other choice. Software mods do not void warranty, so it should be ok.

Hi
I have the same problem. When I put the Battery and plug in the chagher the red led start to flash.
After 1 minute stops.
If someone can help us we will be very happy!!!!!!

Got the same problem after starting to format my sdcard with cwm. Just nothing happens anymore, but when i connect my dhd to my computer its indicated as device "qhsusb_dload", but i cant access it with adb or anything. Tried to foce install htc-drivers, but didnt help. Gonna take it to a local o2 store and check if there can be anything done bout it.
when i drained my battery fully to the point that it turns itself off, when i plugged it in it sort of looped into boot, but after i remove the charger and plugged it again, the red light turned on and i just left if for ten minutes, then pressed the power button then i turned on as normal.
i'm thinking it might be because the battery is just too drained at one point.

Guys
I had the same problem.
I charged aways the phone by the USB on my PC.
But this is a problem.
Try to charge for an Hour or two your usb original charger your phone.
My problem was that the battery was so empty that the PC USB coudn't had the power to charge it. The Original Charger CAN.
So dont wait more and put it and Charge.
Tell me if this was the resolution.
Bye bye

What can I do? Can I send it to the asssistance, it is rooted with unrevoked and with djdroid 2.1 installed on it!, and I have it from a week because of the porblem of rebooting the asssistance have changed it the motherboard.
Please help me!

I think manufacturers tend to treat rooting = void warranty unfortunately
Are you able to connect with the handset via adb?
There's a good tutorial on this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
If it works, you might try to flash the correct branded stock rom (RUU) so you can return it?
The phone cannot be setting in any mode because it seems died at all, it is unusable with usb because it don't turn on, the system cannot found a device totally off.
Send an e-Mail to HTC
As you can't give your phone back to HTC, you could send them an e-mail, so that they could (maybe) help you to fix it ? Else.... you wil have to buy a new phone (if it isn't done yet). I'm sorry for you.
Eeek poor you, if you can't connect via usb then you have big problems

Does the phone vibrate after powering on? If it does, even if the screen seems dead, your phone is repairable. You might've just had a USB brick.

no, the phone don't vibrate, but it start to be warm when I press power. Anyway I have send him to assistance, because other people with the desire totaly dead have told to me that the assistance don't lose time if the phone won't turn on and simply replace the motherboard, because I think that is for the last replacement of the motherboard that it go down in a week.
They have changed me the phone again, the motherboard obviusly.

[Q] Desire does simply nothing

Hi @ all,
I have a big problem with my Desire.
I rooted it and installed AOKP Build 39 on it. Everything went fine, no problem up to this time. I did several restarts, everything ok.
Now, today the phone suddenly turned black, no reaction to any command. So I pulled the battery, put it back again, and then, nothing happened.
My desire only shows a black screen, none of the buttons are working (even Vol- + Power or trackball+Power). Even more suspicious is, that the loading LED is not showing up, although my phone is connected to the loading cable.
I really don´t know what to do. Does anybody of you have an idea what the problem could be?
PS: right now ist started vibrating (endlessly...)

I think that you can begin with construction bussiness, cause you have a nice and expensive brick...
Sent from my HTC Desire via flashes and thunders
Trackball + power isn't supposed to do anything, back button + power is.
But anyway if volume button + power doesn't work and that one neither, I think it's a brick as nlooooo said. Also because the LED isn't working. What does it do when connected to PC? Nothing I assume?
Yes, unfortunately connecting it to the PC does nothing.
What do you think, any chance to get it replaced?
if its still under warranty then u could chance sending it back to htc, just say u tried turning it on in the morning and... nothing just black screen. do NOT say anything bout s-off etc etc. im mean if ya cant even access hboot or no led lights or anything how will they know mite aswell try
dont forget take out ur sdcard incase they look at it n find a rom lol

No battery is not the problem. The same thing with another battery.
I´m still in waranty period, so I´ll have a try
Thanks for your help.
Can anybody imagine why this happend? I mean the rom was working proberly, no errors during flashing, etc. And can a faulty rom/flash cause a fail of even the loading led?
I always thought that such "simple" things as loading are done directly by the hardware without any influence of the software installed on the phone (especially as loading has to work even if the phone is switche offline)

I think it's a big hardware prob. Can u boot into android, even if the screen's dead? Maybe u can provide the devs with a logcat.
Our G7 can be troublesome sometimes......
Maybe it´s a problem of the mainboard. As i cannot even switch on the phone. when I press the power button nothing happens. So, no logfiles.
I´ll send it to the producer tomorrow.
Did you get it fixed?

Got the same after flashing Jellytime R25. Maybe not battery issue since I've tested with my spare batteries to no avail. This happened right after successfully flashing and rebooting from CW Recovery.
EDIT: found one link that mention the volume being shorted hence it wont boot. suggested it ribbon connector. Did that and it now boots. Goodbye volume rocker. http://www.frameworktraining.co.uk/hdfixed/

Only thing I can say.
Put in the power cable and try to start with volume down and power.
Hold it for some time till it vibrates.
A friend had a new HTC One V and got this also. I solved it by trying the above.
First times it did not worked. Only after some tries.

Desire HD won't turn on

Hi guys,
yesterday I tried to recover the original ROM for Desire HD. During the process in bootloader, my phone shutdown, and I can't turn it on now, even the bootloader wont run. I think my battery was too low, even tought the phone showed 99% (it happened before, even though the battery was almost dead), and it died during the update. Basically, I'm not able to access any feature right now, I'm not sure, if the phone is charging - when I plug it in, the orange light turns on, but when I unplug, the light stays on. Bootloader won't start, but when I press both volume buttons and power button, the phone vibrates 3 times, green light turns on, and thats all.
If you need more info, please ask.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
You were recovering official ROM from the RUU? This should not result in your device being bricked.
Please try removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then press Vol Dn+Power button and a partial bootloader showing RUU failed or a similar error should open.
Then connect your phone to your PC and again run the Official RUU Setup.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped you. Also click "Donate to me" on the left if u wanna give something in return

Hi, thanks, nothing happens when I push down volume down and power buttons, even after removing batteries. I believe something is actually happening ,but nothing shows on the screen, because when I push volume down and power, and then I plug in the power cable, the orange light does not turn on, while when I plug it in without the combination, it does turn on.
I think that was an official Rom, because I've used it before, and my phone was not rooted afterwards - I did this successfully two times before. However, I recovered it from SD card (pd98img zip copied on the ssd).
Maybe you can try it...just try let the charge is plug in...n leave it be for a hour maybe...don't try to turn on the phone..
After a hour you can try unplug the charge...and remove your battery first...then put it in again...then try power on with pressing volume down+power button..just let see if this time the phone can go to bootloader or not..
Hope this can help..

yeah. I thought about that, but I dont have any desire hd battery here, and I don't know how to charge this one without the phone.
I appear to be having similar problems with it not turning on. when i plug in the charger i get no orange light atall.. if i leave it plugged in (usually within 1hr to 2) eventually it will boot to custom recovery and from there i can reboot the phone and will boot to android. but it does not last very long atall usually about 30mins. have reset battery stats from recovery but doesnt seem to help.
from what i can find online its dieing but can anyone advise on if it will be the battery or the phone itself???
i have just spent $30 fixing digitizer and lcd in the past month. if it is needing a new battery i will proberbly do that but if not it can go..
hope this may help with your problem or any other....

but to solve yours, download one of the apps that tells you how much battery health you have. You might also get a pretty good deal on a new battery from ebay
