[Q] AuraxTSense_8.3 bricked after one week?!??

Hi all, the very best noob is posting here
I was enjoying the last AuraxTSense rom (AuraxTSense_8.3_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_A2SD +...) installed on 29/01. The display is SLCD. The mobile is branded, so I created-and-used a gold card. Everything was perfect until this morning when I noticed that the display was black and there was no way to come up with an image, or text ... (it's almost black, actually I can see that lights just barely).
Since the installation of the rom was successful, I do not think that the phone is bricked, but It's a supposition. Or not?
As described on forums, I've installed the rom RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed to try to recover the mobile: I can hear the sound, the cell vibrates, ... but no more as in the beginning.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

would you mind giving some additional info like does the LED turn on, if plugged in to a charger? Does it turn on, if plugged into a computer?
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?
Did you do anything special before this happened?
How did you flash the ruu(from zip file or via computer)? Did any errors occour?
Also why would you try to flash a ruu, when you had no idea what was wrong or what you were doing? You might just have ruined it more. There is no way to know, but as it was able to run the ruu, apparently nothing was wrong.

Thank you for the reply.

The mobile charges with charger, and USB cable attached on the PC: while charging, the LED is orange.
When off, I can power it up using the power button: the mobile vibrates and after ~25 seconds I can hear the start sound. After ~10 seconds the home+menu+back+src button lights go on for some seconds.
The display, since the start-up vibration, becames barely lighted. While the mobile is powered on, if not used, after some time the display becomes dark and I can resume its lighting pressing the power button.
While the mobile is on, if I plug the USB cable in the PC a new drive appears; it's an empty (0 bytes size) drive - I have no SD in.
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?

I cannot say this because I cannot see anything, but when I boot with (vol down + power) the mobile does not vibrate.
BTW I can boot with (power+back), as I have used the RUU executable to flash and it worked.

Just followed the instructions seen on another blog/forum.
I can say that the behaviour of the mobile after the RUU update is the same of before.
Thank you.

to me that sounds like a hardware (backlight) fault...
But how could you flash the wwe-Ruu? Your handset was branded, wasnt it? Did you use the goldcard to flash the ruu? Remember to flash the original (=branded) ruu before you send it in for repair (if you do so)

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
hmm isnt that for amoled phones.
try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
and if that isnt working flash rom that came with it and send it to repair.

Yes, I flashed using the goldcard; it was working very well!
The last app I installed was juice defender, the full version, updated two days ago from the market.
I'm trying with the link proposed by madman_cro, it's now in download.
Thank you.

2 things... would it not have been better to post in the AuraxTsense page lol? I've used 8.3 since release and its near perfect, sounds like a hardware error.... screen maybe gone? There was a spate of HTC screen problems
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I have had this happen twice on Auraxtsense. Both times removing the battery for 30 secs and then replacing and rebooting solved the issue. It eventually came back to life.
In your case it could be a hardware failure ......

Im trying to flash the rom proposed by madman_cro, but today is a bad day: update fails with ERROR 170
Yes AuraxTsense is a great rom, with no doubt! I'm not considering the rom as the origin of the problem, but it would be nice to discover what's wrong in my mobile
In the case it's an hardware problem, I've asked HTC for assitance...
(PS: I have had no way to post in the AuraxTsense page as this is my first post)

oh one more thing(nearly forgoten) try to read this tread and see if it helps

As you say yourself this sounds like a hw error, and such it has nothing to do with auraxtsense, so why the hell should he post it in there.
But it does indeed sound like a hw error. So you will probably have to ask htc, if the prober ruu doesn't solve it. Also slcd brick only happens after flashing a wrong rom/bootloader, so it should not possibly appear out of nowhere.

I want to restore the mobile with the original Orange FR firmware: is there the possibility to do it having the fr OTA_Bravrange_CH-FR_2.22.71.2-1.19.72.3_P_release8xcr7nx2a68060l7.zip file - but w/o the display? (I haven't found the RUU executable)

Why the hell would he do that? Because at that stage a hardware fault was suggested but not confirmed ... so why the hell not?
If it was a problem with the rom like he thought it could be, that would of been a good starting point!

I had the same thing happen with a Blackstone (Touch HD)
Don't know if this is any help, but I had exactly the same thing happen with my old Touch HD. There was a util I found that allowed me to view the phone screen and drive it via my pc through the USB port. This helped in making sure that the only issue was a lack of display, and flashing and returning to stock before sending off for repair. Not too sure if there's something similar for the Desire.
The problem was initially diagnosed as a loose connection within the phone, and the repair center fixed it and sent it back to me. A couple of weeks later exactly the same thing happened. After replacing the mainboard on the second repair visit it was all fixed and worked well (until I fed it too much voltage from a charger, but that's another story). I'd suggest that claiming this experience as your own and requesting a mainboard replacement up front may be the best way to avoid too many service visits.
You'll know that they have replaced the mainboard as they'll issue you with a new IMEI.

selling it on ebay
Thank you all! My experience with support services in Italy and the fact that the phone has been rooted/flashed, have persuaded me to put it on ebay, as is. I still haven't found the solution, so I don't know if it's an hardware problem or something else. In the doubt, I'm selling it as not working.
Hope I will come back with a new desire...
Thanks to all the forum for contents and kindness

Is it not under warranty??? Its still covered if the changes you made didn't cause the issue ( I think lol)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Although most people have said this is a hardware error (I'm inclined to think the same) have you actually tried to hard reset the phone just incase a setting is messed up somewhere and is actually displaying at 0% backlight. Very likely it won't work but is at least worth a shot before you get rid of it on Ebay

trying again
Hi warlordxxx, having the possibility to use another phone (do you remember the 7650? ) I removed the desire from ebay and I'm now trying to best discover what's happened, as I think it's not an hardward problem too.
I'm following the directions posted on the androidiani.it forum: maybe my problem it's just a video driver problem. I will let you know the result of the operations.
Have a nice week.

[Q] HTC Desire HD Stuck on lock screen

Basically my HTC Desire HD about 6 months old now has had pretty much nothing go wrong.
But today after using my phone all day it has decided to give up! I have called my phone and it rings and lights up but I still cant slide down the screen to pick up the phone.
The top button works to light up the screen but when I try to slide down the lock screen the phone does not respond.
The phone hasn't frozen because the top button works, I think it is a problem with the screen.
Firstly I would know if anyone understands what I am saying and if anyone else has experienced this problem.
Finally is there any solution to this problem?

Have you tried to force shutdown and restart the phone? Or the lockscreen is not responsive at all in the restart attempt?
8penned from my blazing fast DHD

When you say forced shut down you mean taking the battery out right? Because I've done that soo many times and the result is no different!
Surly it can not only be my phone to have this problem!

I had this issue before, the screen was totally unresponsive. Wiping and flashing rom didn't do the job, even nandriod backup didn't do the job. The solution was to install an ruu.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Cheers for all the help but I've fixed it now, I left it on charge all night hoping it would spring into life but no this didnt work!
Then I took the sim card out and switched the phone on and the screen became responsive. At the same time I did this I also pushed hard on the back of the screen.
So I dont know whether the force fixed it or taking the sim out did. Personally I think it was removing the sim but I have no idea why that helped.

[Q] Can't boot HTC Wildfire S

A friend of mine, gave me today an HTC Wildfire S, who found laying in the street. Problem is that i can't boot it, even in bootloader (Vol Down + Power) if i try to boot into bootloader only a tiny red light appears on one sensor, and if i try to boot into android, it appears to boot but nothing appears on the screen.
Any Advice?

Is it detected when connected to a PC?

I thought about a lot of things as your post didn't have a lot of info:
1- you aren't aware of battery level, leave it for an hour or two connected to the computer to recharge the battery.
2- do you have hTC Sync 3.0 ? You have to have it so the computer can recognize the phone.
3- putting it to the bootloader mode and nothing appearing on the screen makes me a bit worried.
Let us know how things will go !!!

1 - Full Charged, at least charging light now is green (was orange before, like in other HTC's)
2 - Yes, i also have ADB drivers installed, but nothing appears with cmd "adb devices"
3 - I don't know if is rooted, or has USB debugging on.

Best thing to do is use xtc clip, create gold card etc and flash the Rom.

I've found the problem. Looks like screen backlight is working fine, but no info is coming to it. I know because when i press touch buttons they vibrate, and vol buttons sounds when i press. So, do you know where can i get a cheap LCD screen replacement in EU?
Thx in advance

How about trying to find out who is its real owner and return it to him or her?
Can you feel confortable using something you know it is not yours?
Just an idea to make a better world.

tottaly agreed. just think when you lost yourself your HH..

It would be a nice idea, but my friend found it without SIM or microSD and can't get it work, so if you have any idea about how to find the owner, I'm listening.

After getting an LCD replacement and booting it up properly you could check the accounts & sync settings to see the Google account they used with the phone. That way you can maybe contact them. Contacts are also saved on phone memory, so you could have a look there.
If you did find the owner then you could charge him a little extra for finding and repairing it.

I have the exact same problem with my HTC Wildfire S.
So what did you do with that phone?

Repair bricked phone

Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old DHD which I think is completely bricked. It was working for approximately one years perfectly and then suddenly it stopped working. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it only vibrated once and did nothing more. Sometimes it turned on and these working periods were enough to restore to stock condition (It was rooted and had Eng S-OFF before.). I had brought it to service and they said they was not going to repair it as the device got water damaged. I'm pretty sure it was not! After a few weeks, it started working again. I was using it for 3 months then it bricked again and it's the situation today as well.
Previous week I looked into the development thread and saw all of these new amazing roms. So I took my DHD to see if it's working or not. The situation is the same. Everytime I power it on, the phone only vibrates once and nothing happens. I'm not able to get into hboot mode. At some very rare occassions the phone turns on and works flawlessly till reboot. When I connect it with USB, the computer doesn't recognize it. Battery is charged, I even tried another battery.
Does anybody know what happens with the phone? I'm open to any possible solutions to try. Please don't suggest to bring it to service or repair it, because I have another phone, just want to try to recover it and ask your ideas about the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Adam

So you say you cant enter in fastboot or recovery?

Since it's intermittent, my guess is it is a hardware problem. Some kind of bad contact/loose connection. Make sure everything looks good on your battery door and the battery contacts inside the phone.

Wrong sub forum buddy, post in the One V Forum.

Its possible that there isn't "water damage", but there could be moisture getting into the phone causing it to act erratic. To cancel out that possibility, submerge it in a closed container full of rice for a few days

[Q] After 1 year; things started getting crazy

So after about 1 year and 1 month of owning this phone, this phone started getting crazy.
First the wifi started messing up, I barely get 3 bars when my phone is taped to the router.
Now the bottom buttons don't even work, when I click them they start clicking around crazy like opening a text box or selecting an option.
I lost my warranty sadly and don't know what to do. I don't mind the wifi I just want the buttons to work

.. Well..

Hi
I (and I unfortunately thing We) can't help you this way.
Maybe you can give me some information about how you took care for this phone.
Did you ever drop it..? Did you install some new firmware/kernel..?
I'm about to help you, but unfortunately I can't because I don't know what's the problem.

All stock no new software update since like 4 months (checked for a new one doesnt exist)
My phone has always been in a cover safe etc, taken care of no water 100%
What happened is the home button/back/recent apps just stopped working when ever I click them nothing happens except for an option on the main screen being selected as if I touched that option
All lights on buttons work

Well try a factory reset from the bootloader, but be warned that it formats the whole phone ! For safety also backup the sdcard !

As Mr. Hof says, try doing a full factory reset via bootloader.
If you don't know how to access the bootloader:
1. Turn on your phone, at least at the bootscreen
2. Hold down the POWER-button and the Volume-down-button for about 15 seconds, so that the buttons are flickering and keep holding until you see a white screen with at the top : **LOCKED**
3. Go to Factory Reset with the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select.
I hope that helps for you!
Let me know!

will give it a shot

If you do a factory reset, you will only lose the things that are on you Phone, and thus not on your Internal SD card. But, make sure you got everything you want to keep what's on your phone is on your Internal SD card. I recommend using ASTRO File Manager to manage your files, and copy it to your internal SD card, which ís accessable by connecting the device to your computer, but I believe if not, you first have to install an HTC Driver.

By the way!
The Wi-Fi problem occurs at many HOXs! It's a hardware problem. Try squeezing on the back of the phone between the camera and the volume button. If the Wi-Fi will become stronger, you've also got this problem, at least, I have. You can fix it by opening your phone (voids warranty) and placing a piece of aluminum foil on the right place. Go and search for a tutorial on YouTube or so. I can't help you with hardware, I'm sorry!

Watch out with what you write, there have certainly been reports of wiped sdcsrds after a factory reset. That's why i recommend them to always make a backup. Believe me, i know what im talking about here......

Oh, I actually did not know that. I'll check out some more forums before I post more, to prevent mistakes! Thanks for saying!

Doesn't HTC have a two year warranty?
In Holland they do, i'm sure.
Had my Sensation repared under warranty after almost two years.
Had to send it directly to HTC.

I'm also from Holland, and you're right. But I don't know if this counts for all countries. Guess not.

Something are repaired by factory reset like Mr hoffs said just back sdcard ...then do a factory reset then you can setup all back and if its all not repaired then you have to send it in...as your phone is locked and you didn't flashed any Rom etc they should repair without charge.....
