[Q] help Desire HD bricked- not powering

i am new to the Android world. I followed some instructions and tried flashing my rom with RUU setup while the flash was in progress my little couzin mistakenly pulled out the USB cable, the device frooze, then i pulled out the battery. Since the my DHD has been totally dead. No sign of life atall. plug the power cable nothing seem to come on. I need help

Unless you have custom recovery & HBOOT it's not looking good.
With the phone turned off (pull battery out if you have too) press and hold the vol- then press power button. Hold for a few seconds. Does anything happen?
If nothing do you get the LED to blink?

i have tried that, still no sign of life. Nothing seems to becoming on.

then it is simple then. you can visit your nearest HTC Service Centre and get a replacement. your phone should be still under warrant.

Afraid arzme is right. Just don't tell them the cable was pulled out. If you purchased from a store take it to them, you may even get a replacement.

You might just try a story like: I just wanted to switch my SIM card and the phone turned off. Now it doesn't turn on any more.
Just don't mention anything about rooting/flashing/S-OFF and try to appear like a total noob and you will be fine.

One V Dead!

Today morning while sending an SMS, my phone got hanged and auto-restarted.
It got hung on the boot screen.
Then when i tried to restart it again, it stopped responding.
Now I only get 6-7 vibrations when I try to start the phone and then nothing happens. Hard reset is not working either.
I had not rooted the phone.
Can anyone tell me what to do?

i know this may sound REALLY stupid and as i dont have my ONE V yet is just a stab in the dark....does it need charging at all??? or will it boot with the charger connected for about 15-20mins?

I tried that as well...
My battery was almost full before the phone died.
I put it on charging for almost and hour to see if it makes any difference. But it still wont start...

sounds like a service centre job

can u get into bootloader mode? if yes its just a soft brick u can solve it easily just flash any of the custom roms. or stock ruu
and your phone will be fine
did u rooted it?
and bfre this happened what did you do? tried changing fonts?

If, as you say, you didn't root it, then the software is probably not screwed up. Could very well be the hardware, in which case you'll have to have it repaired or replaced.
You've probably done this, but try holding the power button down for a really long time, until the buttons flash about 10 times. Then try different combinations of holding the power button plus holding the volume-down key to try getting into recovery.

he has not rooted his phone - no recovery, only bootloader.
he didn't said that he arrives at htc one logo. He cannot START his phone at all!
read again and read it good before posting stuff..
as per the problem, dude, if you put it to charge, you see the yellow led? it is turning on? if it does, then you still have hope. leave it recharged for 15-20 minutes and as you recharge it, press and hold volume button DOWN and power button, if this process goes ok you will see a white background with some text in it and a menu. this is called bootloader. if you can arrive here, you don't need to go to warranty with the device.

yes i know he hasn't rooted
but if he can go into bootloader than stock ruu can be flashed

I tried charging it for half an hour, the led does not blink.
I am not able to enter recovery mode either. Tried pressing Volume down + Power and all possible combinations of volume and power button.
I dont know why I am not able to enter the bootloader.
I contacted HTC and they said I should give it to the service centre. Hoping that they repair it since its under warranty...

Try holding down volume and pressing power for more than 10 seconds. If it still doesn't boot into hboot you will have to take it to a service center.

Since you haven't flashed anything on to it or modified it, I'd say it's a hardware problem. Send it back for replacement.

:banghead: Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

HTC Wildfire blank screen

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just can't find it.
My Wildfire's screen froze a couple of times, then the last time I removed the battery and reinserted it.
When I tried to power back up I got the vibrate but nothing on the screen, so I repeated a couple of times with no luck.
I then tried the Hboot method (Hold vol - and power) and I got the Hboot on, but when I tried to navigate using the volume buttons nothing happened, so removed battery and tried to repeat, I couldn't get back to Hboot. I have only been able to get the Hboot screen that one time.
When I power up, I get 1 vibrate and nothing on screen.
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on.
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume - then the power button but still only one vibrate.
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck.
Is there anything that can be done to save my Wildfire?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Seems like you're in Qualcomm Diagnostic mode. Though I don't remember the solution, some Googling might help

Any help please
I've tried the method stated on this forum but with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

--- EDIT ---
So you wrote your question again in the "Wildfire S" (Marvel) Forums - in this case the much more important question would be: what phone are you talking about? A Wildfire (Buzz) or a "Wildfire S" (Marvel). Despite the name those have almost nothing in common - they are totally different devices
--- EDIT ---
I'll answer in this thread although you opened another one in Q&A.
You haven't been too specific with your problem but sometimes it helps to have all the details
So here we go:
a) did the phone work correct (besides the freezes) before you took out the battery?
b) is your WF rooted & s-off?
c) which ROM?
d)
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
does this happen when connected to PC or charger or not
e)
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume

did you hold both at least 5-10 secs or so?

you mean after your problem occured? How did you do that?
Believe me: the more details you provide the more likely someone might have a solution or at least an idea what's going on

OK, sorry for the lack of info!
My phone is a Wildfire, not a WildfireS.
A: Yes, was working.
B: No, never needed to.
C: Not sure, never kept a record of it. It's one of the first models though if that helps.
D: This happens without USB cord attached. When the USB cord is attached I pull the battery and the green light stays on.
E: Yes, I've tried this for over 10secs before.
F: Yes, after blank screen. I installed on SD card and followed the directions. Bare in mind, I cant set Debug or the charge only setting.
Thanks!

That's what I thought. In this case you won't be able to flash any other ROM - you could just do the usual upgrades by HTC
This doesn't sound to me to be a minor problem (but probably someone else might correct me here) - nevertheless - just to make sure: have you tried to do a hard factory reset following the HTC user guide?
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button (instead of holding it)
if this boots your phone up:
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset
(errm and yes: this will delete all your user data, of course...)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I assume you have done that anyway - did you try to connect your phone to the PC (HTC drivers installed, of course)?
How about charging - does the phone seem to behave normal - i.e. if you keep it from charging for a few hrs does it show the red LED for charging mode and the green one for being fully charged?
That's pretty much all I could suggest from scratch. - Hopefully someone else with a good idea will step in here :fingers-crossed:

OK, still have the Wildfire with the annoying blank screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix?
Thanks!

besides the suggestion of the Qualcomm diagnostic mode (no I don't know anything about that): did you try to power up without the sdcard, yet?
Furthermore I slightly remember that you could do a factory reset using a key combination - but I'm not sure about it.
Same goes for a RUU. Are you able to connect to the phone with the PC?
Really just random guessing - hard if no error messages appear...

Yes, tried with the SD card.
Because I can't see the screen I tried it loads of times, all with different combinations.
I can't get any vibrate from volume down + long hold power.
I will only get a vibrate from volume down + short hold power.
What would be ideal if there's a way to use ODIN PC to flash a new ROM, well that's what I think it is, faulty ROM?
Thanks!

really hard to say as there's not a little information what's going on. What if just the screen is dead? have you tried to wait after boot and insert your pin after a while (I mean try to guess where the numbers might be) and call your number?

Why anyone want's to use ODIN on non-samsung?!
ODIN is purely just for SAMSUNG products
If you have warranty.. put it to service centre.. they will fix it

Need hard reset power off your phone press volume DOWN and power. YOU WILL FIX IT EASYLI.

Hey there!
I'm bumping this because I have the same problem and creating a new thread seemed more bad to me.
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.
I found out my battery was swollen 5 days ago. It's probably because of my charging habits. My battery life have shortened everyday this 5 days. Yesterday morning I wiped my battery stats to get a better battery life. When I was back home my phone's battery has depleted while I was listening to music.
I came to home, plugged my phone to charge and waited 15 mins to get it charged a bit to open. When I tried to open it, it vibrated but the "green htc text on white background" screen didn't come up. The screen wasn't working. I tried what is said before in this tried. Once I got managed to see the bootloader but the volume keys weren't working (as above) After some moments of rage, my brother offered to test the touch, I opened the phone, (as I dont have a PIN) we waited for some minutes and then he called me. I mimiced the answering gestured and boom, I could talk with my brother.
I bought a new screen as I think screen is broken. But it could be because mainboards screen part is damaged (probably because of my faulty battery, voltage wavings etc.) or something completely different.
Please guys help me. I can't buy a new phone atm so I have to fix this

Ouch sounds like a rough one :/ OK so you have no visual, but do have touch and audio? Are you s-off or s-on? You could try to "blind feed" the rom.zip of a ruu to the bootloader to try restore it. But it may well be that your battery has killed the screen. Have you ordered a new battery?

I'm S-OFF. I had it written in my old sig.
I too think that it was the battery that killed the screen. Ordered both a screen and a battery but they won't be coming before 20 days at least. Damn you China, why you have to be that far.
Anyhoo, I can't get to the bootloader anymore. Or I think I can't get it. I once managed to get it but volume buttons weren't working. After that in every try I couln't see the bootloader screen. But you're right. When I can't see the bootloader, it doesn't mean I don't get the screen. I could do it with a fellow's help. But only after a few days. I'm getting a surgery in 10 hours. Can't really care about my phone right now

I'm just not sure I can get into bootloader. When I Vol- + Power no vibration, no light on softkeys nothing.

There is no vibration when going to bootloader.

possibly bricked using rom toolbox to change

So i installed the deodexed rom and went to change.fonts with rom toolbox
Phone boot looped a few times and couldnt get it into flash mode. Its now currently sitting with a grey screen cant do anything with it. Holding power + volume.up does nothing. Computer.not recognizing a phone being.plugged in. Maybe someone has an ideal to help. (Im new to sonys done lots of flashing with other phones though)
Ps its a rogers lt28i running ics locked bootloader
Will wait for it to die and see.if i can get into flash mode then this just wanted to post this as a warning aswell as maybe find other solutions
problem solved using popfans guide

Please follow my soft brick step in the General section. This has worked at least for 3 people so far, so I think it is a good start.

I will do doing that as soon as the battery dies lol.... its taking forever :S

No need to let the battery die.
Connect phone via USB cable to the PC.
Now simultaneously press the power + vol up .. till it vibrates once.
The moment it vibrates, press vol down, without releasing power button.
The phone should be in flash mode. now you can use the flash tool.
It worked for me.

thanks but that's not doing anything . I think I'm going to have to wait till it dies :S.. hopefulyy its dead by the morning lol... im getting tired of my Zombie droid razr lol

Well by formatting system you removed the android os from the device, of course it can't boot anything after this. Put the device into bootloader and flash a rom or factory image. This should bring it back into working condition, that is if you haven't erased the bootloader too.

If you are lucky, you may just be out of battery. Just plug it in and let it charge. Once it's charged, press vol down + power both at the same time and hold both until the bootloader comes up. If you get to the bootloader, then you can just put the factory image back on there.
If you are unlucky and you somehow blew away the bootloader, then you are SOL. You will know the bootloader is gone if holding the vol down + power does not boot you into the bootloader (assuming you have charged the device and are sure it is not out of battery).

Did you hold the vol down + power button for a minute or more (now that you've charged and are sure battery is not out of juice)? Sometimes takes awhile for it to boot.
If the device doesn't have a bootloader, there's not much you can do that I am aware of. On most devices, you'd have to JTAG to get anything back on the device if the bootloader gets wiped.
