Now its just stuck on the O2 logo boot screen and won't go any further!
I've tried the recovery mode and that just does the same! Is there anyway I can recover from this?!?!? Nothing new has been downloaded, its not rooted (I was going to do though!)
Can I get it working again... any help (and links needed!) would be gratefully appreciated...
Yours, a worried person!
PS if any more info is needed to help, just let me know.
I've had the same thing as this but not write as severe. My unlocked Desire reboots itself when being charged and using navigation. After about 10 minutes of use, it reboots.
I phoned HTC UK who confirmed that this was a known issue. They told me that the solution was to change the main board. They also told me that I should live with it for the time being as they only had 15 boards in stock and so, I may be without a phone for a little while.
BTW mine is running 2.2 and still reboots.

@jfphillips, how did you get froyo 2.2 on your o2 desire 'coz I'm also using o2 HTC desire. Did yours come with froyo or it is rooted.

Mine was doing the same - either try an official RUU (didnt work for me) or try flashing a PB99IMG (worked for me the first time - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747775).
Mine got past the boot screen after i did this, but after a few hours it did the same thing & this time the PB99IMG method failed for me.
Gave mine in for repair today - they told me it would take 2-4 weeks!
@scorror sorry, mine isn't on o2, its on three.co.uk. It was part of their first batch which were unlocked/ unbranded with OTA Froyo a couple of weeks ago.

How old is it? And was it on O2? I've got a feeling a lot are doing this? My friends at work (also O2) is rebooting its self at least 3 times a week for no good reason!
Did they give you a loan phone while yours is in for repaire? Mine is just over 2 months old, I'll be pissing and moaning to get it replaced and not repaired.
Have you tried contacting o2?
PS tried the PB99IMG.zip method, it went all the way through, but failed on the CID check at the end, and just asked for a reboot. Does anyone have a link to an O2 download of the zip and not the Generic HTC one?? Long shot I know...

This is the only available RUU for O2 phones:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra..._32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe
There's a good chance that this won't install, as most O2 phones seem to have more recent software than this.
But if you haven't rooted or changed your ROM and the phone won't boot or go into recovery it sounds more like a hardware fault.

Well, tried that, and its now totally goosed!!! It started to go through the install of the new (well downgraded image) and then it sat on waiting for bootloader for ages, then said it had lost connection with the phone. I wont even turn on now. I dont get an orange light to say its charging from mains power like I used to do.
It has to be hardware related, as like you say, ots not rooted, it was the same ROM that shipped with the phone, its just, for want of a better word... F*****! Went into an O2 shop this arvo, but it was way too busy so didn't even get chance to see what they could do (exchange/repair) like I keep saying... Soooooo damn annoyed its untrue. 1st phone I've ever had that I couldn't recover in some way...
If you call HTC they will arrange a repair. O2 will just send it off to them anyway.

Was the same up to today, mainly rebooting when charging in the car with GPS on, but rebooted 6 times today when using tinternet at work.
Called HTC who are collecting next Monday to replace mainboard!!!!
Told in will take a few days to a week to do. Will have to use old touch diamond for these few days!!
To add to this:
I downloaded a battey temp monitor, and my Desire turned off in the car on 22oc, 26oc, 28oc & 30oc. It turned off when using normally mainly when HSDPA connection was present, but not always, and temps have been anything up tp 36oc.
More:
Unit was fine for the first month or so, and started after. Rebooting has been present on 2.1 and 2.2, but getting worse (which htc said also)
I did a hard reset earlier today but still the same, if not worse!
Running 2.2 now, phone was from mobiles.co.uk and was one of the first
It runs fine most of the time strangely enough though
well took it into O2 today, on the paper work I got back it said Repair Agent: Anovo UK Repairs. Repair or replace 7-10 working days.
Not sure if the above can't fix it will I just get a refurbished one, or will they send it to HTC to fix.. who knows at this point... who knows...

Hello dear friends!
HTC let me down Kind of stupid phones indeed at least desire...
I have my phone for quite a time now, it is rooted with unrewoked, clockwork recovery and s-on. I flashed many different roms in the past and everything was brilliant. In a pas half-a-year or so I stayed with only one ROM - MIUI-Au. I kept updating it to the newer versions and so on and on. Never had any random reboot or something. At least maybe it was because of some strange app or something else. But now it started to reboot randomly and constantly!
Phone gets hot abit and it just reboots, and never comes to android homescreen again, until I put out the battery, hold it for few minutes, pop it back and then it boots. But as soon as start to play music, or run a game the phone gets hot abit and reboots again. and so on and on. I thought maybe it was a miui issue. So I tried to flash different roms, but guess what? None of the even boot! The main screen shows and with the same second it bootloops again and forever!... (
Even from recovery it sometimes reboots randomly. So i managed somehow to flash my miui back and it at least boots. But it is very unstable now, I barely can use my phone now
PLEASE WHO CAN HELP ME????
My warranty probably out of date, and my phone is rooted, I dont think HTC would accept it...
any thoughts? friends?
What have you set the CPU max to?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Thank you for response! Appreciate, really!! I didn't set it, I left everything by default I think! Because as i said, i even tried flashing different roms, not only miui.
What else could be? By the way, with stock froyo rom If I remember correctly, sometimes it became extremely hot, but I didnt get any reboots from that. But now, it gets just a little bit hot and it seems that this causes the reboot...
Now what I just noticed, I get reboots even when the phone is idle. And it is not even warm!
If its not getting hot then I'm confused lol. It sounds like a actual hardware fault. Sorry I can't help with this one

try and get it taken back to stock if you dare.
The phone hasn't been out 2 years yet, which is how long the warranty is.
Thank you! But is there any possibility to fix it without HTC involvement? Maybe it is not hardware issue ? Can it be because phone is rooted and I flashed many roms to it ? I didnt try AOSP roms since reboots started, I will try to pop in Cyanogenmod or other and see if I will get reboots.
Would rerooting my phone and updating my recovery fix the problem?
and Note: yesterday I tried to S-OFF my phone, but I can't even do that with my unstable MIUI. It rebooted in the middle of the process..
I had a similar problem, apparently it's not uncommon on the early revisions. I sent mine to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
Thank you for answer! But what if my phone is bought through a contractor?
Can just call HTC and ask the for repair? Or should I contact my contractor first ?
Just give them a call and they will try to help you out. I had a very good customer service experience with them when my desire had some issues.
They will require a proof of purchase though. If you managed to get the receipt from your "contractor" (I am unsure what you mean by a contractor), then there should be no problem.
Sorry for misleading word, I meant T-Mobile. I bought my phone under contract. I think I have a receipt. I even have whole box and stuff of the phone somewhere in my drawer.(just sayin ). So how is customer service of HTC? Poor, good ? I heard you need to tell them that you did a factory reset and that didn't help. Is that true. Also if I will unroot my phone, will they know it was rooted anyhow?
Ahhh....this overheating issue seems common. How they can release faulty phones?? No clue.
thanks for answers mates!
In Singapore, HTC service is really good. Phone was still under warranty.
It took me just one (real) call to confirm a repair order. The first call I was just checking to see what options were available to me.
The second call was an actual repair request. And the third call was me pestering them for a pickup date. heehee
In Singapore, repairs were done via courier. They picked it up and 1 working day later, they sent it back.
Naturally, you will probably need to impress upon them that you tried everything to fix your phone (which I hope you did which includes proving to yourself that it's not the ROMs fault).
You will definitely need to reset everything back to zero. In my case, I downloaded an RUU to totally reset everything back to STOCK, which included removing clockworkmod recovery. You WILL need to create a goldcard for this though so bear in mind that it's not exactly a case of a simple flashing procedure. At least not if you don't already have a goldcard.
Sorry if I overread it at some point, but you speculated at the beginning there could be some faulty app causing this, but you never meantioned performing a full wipe. Have you full wiped yet? Just to make sure it is indeed no software problem.
greets
Thank you for your answers. At the moment I have SuperNova classic ROM. ( 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1) But my phone crashes again and again, it is so annoying and causes me so much trouble.
I never tried a reset or unroot and return to original rom. Im just wondering now, would this help to remove or at least remove those reboots?
Today I was in my work and i was keeping my phone in my jeans pocket. it got hot as u would expect when keeping in pocket and suddenly it rebooten, then it went into a bootloop and started to bootloop 7 times in a row quickly. then again and again. It became very hot at that time.
For the interest, what exact hardware faults causes these reboots and why phone gets even hotter if you keep it on boot loop. If I keep phone cold, the rom usualy stays normal, without reboots. but as soon as I start using my phone, texting or calling for at least 5minutes of using it just reboots.
as I said- really annoying thing :S
I remember my happy times with miui, apps and no reboots Was fun!
cheers for helping!
I would give full wipe / factory reset a chance, and maybe RUU.
At least try it before sending phone to htc.
It is hardware problem, search forum. Fresh ROM without SD card, enabled WIFI and GPS, running G navigation, back of the phone is warm - restart after few minutes.
Maybe someone know how to read info form the phone right before reset? We could understand why the phone is reseting and hopefully add some patch.
Reboot-loop experience
Hey,
i had the same problem over the last few months: In the beginning my phone restarted only when it got hot, but it got worse over the last few weeks, in the end i was not able to use two apps at the same time (music and mytracks) or even to surf the internet longer than a few minutes. The problem did noticeably decrease when the phone was cool - tested by putting it on a fan or in the fridge. Yet, Skype was regularly killing it. As i really love my phone (and especially the AMOLED-Screen!) i did not want to resign. The battery cover contains some metal which is supposed to enhance heat dissipation - so i attached a little thermal pad to the hotter bottom of the phone to improve contact with the head spreader. Unfortunately it did not entirely fix the problem. Yes, it improved the situation a little, but it got even worse after a week or two - in the end i had to turn it in.
So i decided to take it to the Telekom-Shop. They were very kind and told me they would call the other day to confirm that the replacement would have been shipped. It took a few days longer, but i got a phone with the AMOLED-Screen! The employee said it was a used mainboard in a new case, completely refurbished. They only replaced the main unit, i kept the battery, sd-card, charger and so on. Now i have a working Desire again!

Similar?
Hi i on the other hand have similar problem, qiute anoying one, my desire, cm7 hboot, s-off, insert coin cm7 rom, have phone freezing in diferent situations, sometimes its working sometimes just freezez and i need to get battery out and turn it one and sometimes several times in row to get it working again????

Hi all, i'm having a big issue on one x with original 4.0.4 rom. The phone just keep shutting down while gaming taking photos, now also while updating apps. I thought that some app could cause this so i did an hard reset, and right after the initial set up, when i started updating the applications, it shutted down. I'm really worried, what is happening? could it be an hardware problem? Should i bring it back (it has warranty, i'm on stock rom)?
I noticed some log files in the memory, but after the hard reset it doesn't create them when it shuts down, while it did it before. any way to activate the log creation?
nobody can help me? today i tested it a while and it happened again 2 times, but this time whlie browsing (i use quick ics browser) and not while gaming. the second time when i rebooted it the battery indicator had a "!" on it, and it's not the first time, and it didn't recognize my sim.
Means that your phone is overheating, the battery being at or above 48c.
If you don't want to go down the modding route, then I suggest taking it back to the shop for a replacement.

Does your three soft buttons blink randomly? If so go to the service centre asap.
My cell overheated and burnt out.
It would not charge nor start. My cell to sometimes restarted itself automatically.
Do you keep many apps open in the background?
I had mine replaced and now its all smooth :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it doesn't feel too hot, sometimes it's just cold and buttons don't blink. it simply show for a while "android system" (in italian) if i remember well and it shuts down normally with the htc logo. the strange thing is that thing with the battery and sim indicator. however i'll surely bring it back to the shop, i paid it 629 euros, i won't take it if it will shut down randomly. do they give you another one or i have to wait htc to repair it? :S i don't want to wait months.....
sorry for the double post, but now i'm sure that i will have to send it to htc so the question is another. Does someone have experience with htc reparations? how long will it take them to fix it and send it back to me?
My One X suffered from bad screen fitment out of the box (creaking, screen moving up and down inside the casing...) and I unlocked/rommed it before I noticed the flaws.
I relocked the bootloader, installed the 2.17 RUU, and sent the phone back to Germany (as it was bought in Ger and I live in Croatia) to get it repaired, they accepted it and repaired, it's on its way home now, should be here tomorrow, took 3 weeks to repair.
Positive experience for me.

Service is hit and miss from what I see on forums but I might also note that more people complain than praise.
I believe that with shipping and things its about 2 - 3 weeks in total for a repair.

it's very much 3 weeks without my phone, but it's less then other brands... i really hope that one day they will use apples policy for this. it's the only thing that i like of it. if the phone isn't working you get another one immediately, then they can give yours to someone else, but it's not possible that i pay 630 euros and i have to send it to repair, wouldn't be the same for htc if they gave me another one, maybie a repaired one immediately? they can use mine later for some one else...

Even I had the same problem but I ready for modding,
Can you tell me what should i need to do for getting out such problem?
today i used it with apex launcher and it didn't shut down, even after 30 minutes of gta3 and 30 of dead trigger and some browsing- facebook ecc... now i'll try a day with sense but my question is: is there any way to flash the original rom from 0 ? doesn't factory reset delete just user file? maybie something else is corrupted. Can i flash the stock 4.0.4 without unlocking bootloaders or soing anything that voids my warranty? I'd like to try before changing it... THANK YOU
and today too it never rebooted with sense.... i don't know what to do. when the update to jellybeans will be available, there will be a way to flash it from zero with a ruu witout unlocking anything or void the warranty?
ok i asked to htc for the nearest point to repair my HOX and saturday i'll keep it there. Now it's unusable, it keeps shutting down.
Look at this

Hi its my first time writting in the forums and id like some people that know something about androids to help me.Im 8 month user and dont know much about devices.So my problem is after the official jelly bean update my hox rebooted the first day for 2-3 times and after that the second day it rebooted time after time.Sometimes it was stuck at the Htc boot screen or about 20 seconds after most widgets loaded on screen.My device is on guaranty and they told me that htc needs 2 weeks to fix it.
If its a stock device , not tampered with.....keep it that way and let the customer service handle it. A friend of mine had a bootloop after the JB update, also have it back to the service centre.....

7-8 weeks
Ok so i got reply from customer service about my phone and they told me that the prossesor of the phone needs to be changed and it will take about 7-8 weeks.Never getting an Htc again.I think that they make Htc devices at a planet near Mars thats why it takes so long!
Wrong thread, my apologies.

I recently had the BSoD on my One x (rooted and flashed with custom rom) I could not boot into bootloader, see the screen when turned on etc due to a constant black screen.
I decided, what the hell, lets try for a repair at HTC, the worst that would happen is they would charge me for the repairs.
Well... To cut a long story short (after waiting 3 1/2 weeks for my phone to come back).... HTC sent me a HTC One! :laugh:
Just wondering if anyone else has had this instance or if it was an error on HTC's behalf?

Nothing really, Just general day to day usage of the phone, maybe an hour of gaming, social networking, Gmails etc.. Stated getting graphical glitches about a week before the phone's screen went completely off, but never thought anything of it.
They probably couldn't fix it and were out of One X's so they just sent what they had.
Or maybe it was just a mistake ( someone forgot to add the "X" on some paper )
i know one guy who lives just 20 km from my home and he said he also has to send the phone in ...got back also one...because his hox had also problems with apx like mine...i have to wait till next week or so...my phone couldn't be fixed too...my whole system/mainboard is ****ed up...i will see if i get a new mainboard or even new hox...or if i have luck the htc one
