Hi to all!
I've got a big big problem here..I've already read another post,where a guy sayed that his desire is dead..but I want to ask for some help anyway..so..my desire was working good..no problems..aokp rom,rooted,s-off,latest radio exc exc..everything was working fine until tonight,when I,as usually as anybody does,push the power button to wake up the phone,'cause I needed to send a message..and I discovered that the desire was off..battery was 95% the last time that I checked..and I know that soft reboot and anything else could occur..so,I tried to switch it on with the power button..but no response..linked with the charger,no orange charging led..Tried to remove the battery,and put it in again..no response..what can I do?please help,'cause I haven't got money to buy another phone now!
Can you get into hboot?

No,I can't..it still be dead
try a different battery if u can, if that dont work then its probably dead. Same happened to mine, my phone was charging and i dropped it then it never turned back on (it didnt brake from dropping it, overheated while charging)
i'll try the original one..'cause i bought a while ago a mugen power battery bigger than the stock one....but the mess is that i haven't done anything to the phone..it simply "suicided" himself!that's weird!

I used a different battery..but nothing to do..still dead...:crying:..anything else to do?
Your motherboard might be roasted.
I actually just came to make a thread, about the exact same problem I cant turn my desire on charging doesn't respond tried a new battery at a store. Prior to this happening I was at a beach and my phone took a dip for 10 seconds, phone never stopped working the led light was red from there on worked for at least a month or so after before this.
I was thinking it was connected to that but maybe not, I was wondering if maybe the phone some how bricked. It's a silly question but I shall ask any ways is there any possibility of restoring stock ruu via the computer? I'm no expert on that guess the phone wouldn't be detected tho.
The only thing I can make the phone do is occasionally when holding the power down the phones gets stuck vibrating till I pull the battery.

You can't flash a RUU without the phone booting in hboot.
Oh well thanks, I wonder how common it is for phones to just die. My general thinking was so long as I didn't drop it or the beach lol it would last ages which it did, previously had a iphone 3g which apples updates killed the wifi then the battery died, now I'm torn between the LG Optimus 4X HD or a Ipod Touch 5th gen, actually this seems really good value for money BWC Thunderbolt Dual SIM which is available on mobicity.c0m.a-u It's kinda like dunno Chinese generic brand running Jellybean 4.1.2 only reason I probably wouldn't buy it probably wouldn't ever be rooted or updated by manufacturer otherwise I would get it

You wanna buy an iPod????????? Seriously?????????????
Well I'm not all to caught up in the one or the other boat all seem to get aboard on, I already brought a new phone average. I was looking to buy a ipod bare amount I was willing to spend just for getting on the net when out music games reading then figured 4.7 inch to 5 inch screens would be better for reading, and there's only one or two other options in that price range. Dunno if I will or wont now but I was recently looking at ubuntu for phones which may be out end of year or next year, seems interesting going to have to wait to see how that unfolds

u know when u have it plugged into ur computer and the LED is on, then u press the power button, does it vibrate? if ur phone is off and its charging, the LED will be on and if u boot into bootloader (with the phone still plugged in) the LED turns off. so maybe ur screen is damaged and u cant see that its on. u get me?? lol. check if ur computer recognizes ur phone once uv pressed the power button
Nothing happens..the computer does not recognise the phone......ok so..someone have a nexus 4 to sell?

How exactly did you get a BSOD under Linux?
This is what is advised on the AlphaRev website:
First of all, leave your phone turned on and plugged in to USB. Your phone will most likely not be bricked, unless you REBOOT!
Before that happens, please contact an operator on irc.freenode.net , channel #alpharev , as instructed on the livecd.
The operators there should be able to provide you with some more hands-on help.

You should of left your device conneted and ran alpha rev cd again, hboot/bootloader is the deepest level of software on your device, mess that up and theres no fixes, you also shouldnt of pulled the batt, there was still a chance to save it while it was on! Theres no way to fix it now you have turned it off, its a paid repair, i dont think even jtag can help you now sorry

You will still be able to get it repaired under warranty. I bought my desire second hand and HTC repaired the phone for free.

First off let me just say, I already know this is most likely a full brick with no chance of recovery.
Anyway, when my sister got a G2 a while back I perm-rooted and s-off'd it for her. I later flashed the CM 6 RC and that's what she's been on this whole time.
Apparently her new boyfriend is "tech savvy" and has the same phone, so he asked if she wanted to be updated to CM 7 and gave it a shot without letting me know first.
He bricked it, I'm almost certain of it. He said he tried to update it to the newest radio via adb and got an error saying something like "memory is full" or "cant write, no more space" or something like that. He then turned it off so he could "try again", but from then on it wouldn't turn on anymore -__-
I know that a bad radio flash leads to a brick so I'm guessing there's nothing i can do for her, but I've never bricked any of my devices so i thought i'd ask to be sure. As of right now, when i press the power button the screen stays off. No images, no lights, no nothing. I've tried holding the power button + volume down/up and nothing. It simply does nothing. The charging light still turns on if i plug it into the wall charger but nothing happens when i connect it to a computer.
Is there anything I can do to help her besides telling her to get a new one?
Sounds like a brick to me, did he try flashing the ENG. Hboot ? If he screwed something up while doing this the result would be exactly what you are describing.

have you tried pulling the battery then re-seating it and booting into recovery?
Also take out battery and hold power as you put battery back in. Worth a shot

he has the same phone right... TO ME what i see is... her boyfriend has a new bricked g2... and you sister has a new g2 with CM7 installed on it... so much for tech savvy... if i remenber right the best and only way to flash radio is through fastboot..

This guy has it right your sister has a new G2 with cm7 and he has nice expensive paper weight tell him thats what he gets for ****ing with stuff he knows nothing about
My LEDs don't even lit up when I plug it into the wall charger. Into the PC neither. I do get a hardware detected notification though, but Windows 7 isn't able to find the correct driver (for a what's apparently called QHSUSB_DLOAD). I have all HTC and Android drivers installed since I have the Android SDK and HTC Sync+drivers installed.

Hi Everyone !
I have a Desire HD and it bricked last sunday evening. It's only half year old, so I took it back to T-Mobile (I bought it from them). But it's rooted and Radio S-OFF-ed when died. Can the service establish that I rooted and S-OFF-ed my phone, or no ?
Thanks in advance !
If it's totally dead (no bootloader access or charge light) then they won't be able to tell. They'll fix it without any knowledge of software changes.

Yep if its completely dead they wont bother repairing it, they'll just replace the motherboard. That way they have no knowledge of what you did to it.
Thanks for the answers,I'm happy right now,because you have the point:absolutely no sign of life. No charging light,no bootloader and no any happening when I press the power button (same with another battery too).
how did you manage to do that? It will be good for others to know so that they dont make such a mistake .

I don't know. Here's what happened:
1.: I use Opera Mobile for web browsing and the past few days it's become very slow. Sometimes the only way to close it is press the Home button and close it in task manager. I thought it's a software problem, so I made a hard reset, but it's not resolved my problem. Mean while I saw the news that HTC will not refresh the Desire HD to ICS in the first line, so I downgraded it and flash the latest NDT MIUI ROM.
2.: Next day I connected my phone to my PC and realised there is no communication between, only charging. I tried it in other computers and other USB cables, same result, so I wanted to back to stock. My only problem was the Radio system. I was still S-OFF-ed. I searched so many forums and I tried to get back Radio S-ON in Terminal Emulator, but it didn't work.
3.: Tried some instructions without any result and finally after a reboot procedure the phone didn't wake up anymore. No reaction for the charger, no reaction for any button pushed. Nothing. Took it back to T-Mobile and they check the battery because they thought maybe that caused this and they said it discharged over.
And now I'm waiting for an SMS or call how is my phone now
goodluck with that
Got it back from repair service. They changed its motherboard,so almost I have a brand new phone now I'm so lucky I guess ... huhh ... sweating a lot,but now I'm happy

If you plug it into your computer in that state, does it ask for qload usb drivers? if so, Its a true brick, and there's no way they'll know what you had going on. I had mine replaced in June this year after mine was bricked.
my wife just got her htc one x today. opened it up, turned it on.....phone turned off while she was putting in her account details. when turned back on its stuck on the boot screen and saying its for developers only. any way to fix this? when plugged in theres no charging light or anything. please help
anyone? really wanna know if i'll need a replacement before i've even got to use it
Press and hold the power button and volume button till you get to the hboot screen. Tell me what it says there, either 'locked,' 'relocked,' or 'unlocked.' And whether it says S OFF or S ON below it. Tell me this and I'll tell you how to fix it

When there is a saying for developers only in red color, it means that One X is not a brand new, someone already unlock the bootloader and flash an old version of CWM on it. It is best to get a replacement if you meant to buy a brand new device.
And it get stuck on boot screen due to low battery.

Or, it could be that the person relocked the bootloader while on a custom ROM. But like the OP said, it randomly rebooted, WHILE it was being used. @OP, try running an RUU after checking if the bootloader is locked/relocked

sorry for late replies guys. yes to confirm it was brand new, just out of the box for a minute, bought from dial a phone in the uk which is a big retailer. it came sim free as most of their phones do. Simply opened the box, turned on and it turned off during the input of details, ie our wifi password to be exact.
After that came the red writing with developers only, now nothing. been on the charge all day, still no charging light. tried the wall socket, tried via usb to 2 pc's, and the volume/power thing doesn't work either. how long should we need to hold it to do that?

The battery had abt 76% charge left. Then all of a sudden, it just refused to turn on. I couldnt charge it, the device manager couldnt detect it, and i tried nearly every possible combination of the volume-power buttons, still nothing. I saw somewhere that if u just charge for 1-2 days it'll turn on again, but still no luck.......no response from the comp wen i plug it in.......still running the stock os.........pls help, i have almost lost faith in technology

Dude, it seems that your battery is flat. I'd suggest charging the phone via a power outlet and not the PC usb. Once you connect the phone to the power outlet you should get a red charging led..
After it's fully recharged, try rebooting..if still the same problem, get into the bootloader and do a factory reset...if still the issue persists, go back to the retailer where you bought this from and get a replacement...

Yup, it seems you have faulty mainboard...get it repaired..I wouldn't suggest spending a lot of money on repairing a outdated phone. If the service center is asking for a few hundred $ then scrap it..it's not worth it as you won't get any warranties for the repairs done.....besides, HTC will be stopping support for the phone after the next update to 4.2.2 even though the rest of world is on the latest Android versions...so at best you'll have another 2 more months by when your phone will be really outdated both in terms of hardware and software....
u are better off buying Chinese rip-off phones that have equivalent configs as the One X....sorry to say this..
