What was the last thing you did before this started happening? Did you flash anything, drop it on a hard surface, anything like that? This sounds like a hardware problem almost.

Issues with booting (blinking orange LED)

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

[Q] Working on bringing a Desire back to life!

Hi people,
Been a while since ive been in the desire forums and Im a bit out of touch with all things desire.
My situation is ive come across a desire that someone gave to me an said if I can fix it I can have it! Bonus.
Problem is in all my desire days ive never come across this (there are a few related tales on the internet but they mostly deal with S-ON devices).
So the phone wont boot, when you try to it just goes into the Hboot screen, even without pressing volume down?
once in the Hboot screen the phone is totally unresponsive? Volume rocker wont let me select options even the power button fails, to turn it off you have to battery pull.
The info on the Hboot screen is;
Alpharev N1 table
Bravo PVT4 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT- 6.93.1002
Radio- 5.11.05.14
I knew it was S-OFF already because I did it for the guy thats passed it to me know.
My First idea to get this working was to get a new alpharev hboot on there and see if it helped. Nope. Putting the PB99IMG on the sd card causes the phone to freeze on "parsing zip" "Bootloader 1" Left it alone to make sure it wasnt me being hastey but nope it didnt work.
Next I thought right lets get the Stock table on it and run a RUU. I would manually push the hboot via abd/fastboot. Nope. Because the phone wont boot into fastboot (using the back and power button combo) it still boots into Hboot!? So I tried to put it into Fastboot from ADB. Nope, ADB cant see it. A note on this is that I was a very proud owner of a desire and had set up adb for it ages ago. So why wasnt it seeing this one? I am 95% certain that he had usb debugging on on the phone. But when I plugged this one into my PC it couldnt install the driver for "Android 1"? WTF thats a galaxy nexus driver isnt it? anyways, found one and thats all installed so I know I have no missing drivers. The phone knows its plugged in because the Hboot changes to HBOOT USB PLUG.
Ive tried android flasher to send the Hboot and it just hangs at the "please wait while your device is flashed" point.
Does anyone else out there have any more ideas or is this desire a write off? In my past experiance these things were damn hard to totally brick?
Any ideas welcome. Many thanks in advance.

How did he get to this in the first place? was he trying to flash a ROM? or a hboot?

Nope said he was just using the phone as per usual then the next time he pulled it out of his pocket it was on the Hboot screen?
He isnt android literate so he doesnt mess about with it, he brings it to me for that kind of stuff.

In bootloader, can u choose recovery and boot into it?
Sent from my HTC Desire

Nope. Absolutly unresponsive volume rocker. Cant select anything from hboot menu. And even the power button is unresponsive, you have to battery pull to turn it off.
Another note to this saga: Ive tried an RUU but it dosent detect the phones plugged in.
Ive tried the freezer trick then RUU, that didnt work.
And now im even drying it out in rice just in case there is any moisture in the body.

think you should first rule out the simplest problems: electrical contacts inside the switches.
I had problems with the volume rocker due to dust collecting so you might want to press harder or clean it. I've done this more than once. At least you be sure there is not a mechanical problem (eg. a switch not working or a latched switch preventing the phone from registering the other buttons.).
GL

So. Had it in bits. Cleaned the terminal points between all buttons and made sure no sticking was present.
One final last plea to anyone who has any better ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks to everyone thats made a contribution.
Will a jaff box/jtag box fix these problems? Got a man that can standing by......

Constant Restarting

Hey guy
from a few day i am getting constant restarts on my desire no matter what rom i install
and also i am getting some strange toast notification to sign in on wifi network which upon clicking take me to some page in browser which has the address like 172.221.something and can't be access
i tried every major rom for desire
but the same problem appears on every rom
Any help would be appreciated

Do you have the PVT1 model? This version of the desire is prone to an overheating issue. Try putting the phone in the freezer for 10 minutes with the battery removed. Then take it out of the freezer, put the battery back in and boot it up. If it stays booted for longer than usual, the problem is likely an overheating motherboard.

Nope
Got PVT3
and overheating's not the problem
Thankx for the reply though

[Q] Strange Sudden Death Problem

I bought my second hand HTC DHD almost a month ago. I used AAHK to unlock it, S-off and Sim unlock. But its really bugging me that whatever ROM I use (AOKP, CM, ARHD, Blackout) it keeps on shutting down on itself at least once a day. I had to press the power button to turn it on and it just do a normal reboot from black screen then everything goes to normal again. First, I thought its just a ROM or Kernel issue. But when it happens on every ROM I flash, that tells me that there's something else. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem. This is what my boot loader says:
HBOOT - 0.85.2425
MICROP-0438
RADIO - 26.17.14.11_M
Anything else you need to know?
Thanks a lot!

How old is your battery?

how would I know? most probably stock battery. I bought it second hand, but the battery runs well. I tried pressing the battery cover in all areas to see if its a connection problem, esp the one above the + sign. Nothing happened. The sudden death usually occurs during the day when Im not using my phone. Do you think its hardware?

Personally, my first guess would be an old battery, so my first move would be to try another battery.

Or try it with the phone connected to the charger if you don't have acces to a new battery.
