Yesterday my phone didn't manage to boot in Cyanogen mod 10.1, it showed the logo then froze..
After a while the screen went black, and the battery was nearly at 0% so i don't know the correct motivation for the turn off, if it was due to the reboot since cm wasn't loading or just no juice in the battery.
No it doesn't turn on no matter how many seconds I keep the switch on button.
Can't even get to bootloader or HTC white screen.
Connected to a PC it doesn't show up (neither as APC). The red light doesn't turn on.
I don't know if it is charging, but as it stay connected to the plug it became warm as if it were charging.
Said that it is no more under warranty (bought in China, now i'm in Italy) how would cost a repair? Is it convenient or just buy a Nexus 4 and say goodbye to my HTC?
Best regards!!
Connect your phone to a wall charger for a few hours and then hold down the Power Button + Volume Down button together until the bootloader shows up!
If you can go there, you can revive your HOX!
Repairing or buying a new N4 is completely your choice. If it is indeed a hardware fault and the motherboard needs to be replaced, it could be quite expensive!

Hello.
I have a SLCD PVT3 HTC Desire
S-OFF, HBOOT 0.93 Data++, InsertCoin 1.08 stable, 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 radio
I was shooting a video with my phone, battery was about 40% when I started, I recorded maybe 5minutes. Then suddenly phone shutdown, I try to reboot, it won't so I suspect it just ran out of battery.
I put it on charger, orange led lights up and I go for a cigarette. Come back 10minutes after and I try to power on, it won't, orange led disappears and nothing happens.
I remove battery, try to boot=no work.
I remove battery, plug in ac charger, phone flashes green and orange led one after another and when I try to power on it won't.
I remove the charger cord and put battery back, try to power it, no work.
I plug in charger cord, orange led comes, I try to power it on, led disappears and phone will not boot.
Then I take charger cord off and remove battery and put battery back, and charger cord back, orange led comes.
I leave it there since it looks like it's charging, an hour or 1½ I come back and there is green led and I try to power on but to no avail.
vol down+power and back+power doesn't work.
So I can't get to fastboot/bootloader/recovery/or boot the phone.
And it doesn't even vibrate when I try to power it.
Is it totally dead?? Help?
Warranty still in place?

Have you check the battery? the desire does not power up when there is no battery even when on plugged into AC. so it is possible for a faulty battery could make the phone not turn on and not charge.
Yeah, I do have warranty on this thing.
Since the phone won't even power up, is there a way the repair place is gonna find out that the phone is s-off, rooted and has custom rom on it and custom splash screen?
If I could even get the phone to fastboot I could undo all of that but blargh not even that.
Do you really think it would be the battery fault? :S
I don't have a spare battery so I can't try that.
When I connect the charger to the phone while the battery is in, the orange light comes up so it should be charging it.
I don't even have a multimeter to try and see if the battery is dead.
it is possibility that it could be the battery..or maybe even the charging circuitry on the phone. there is no way to say for sure. I am only offering a suggestion.
since you can't even get into the recovery or bootloader. this does not sound like a software issue

Only way is if your friend has desire, or you can buy my new battery, charged only once! Ha
But they probably won't even try and boot it and will probably change it.

Almost exact same thing happened to me. Desire died for no reason, and it was not the battery. HTC have no way of telling if your phone's rooted if it's dead (or I don't think so anyway), I just sent it off and they repaired it for me under warranty Good luck.
Okay, thanks for your input guys!
I'll be sending it to warranty on wednesday.
Hi all,
I have exactly the similar problem with my HTC Desire.
I do not think so it is a battery problem because when it died it has been already full powered 2 hours ago.
How long would it take to get your phone back from warranty?
Thanks and regards.

Completely forgot about this thread.
SCF Repair fixed my phone under warranty.
Yet again they replaced the mobo
I got the phone back sometime around august 25 or something like that.
Came back as PVT4 :cheers:
Also, after I had it for exactly 2weeks, put it in my pocket accidentally wrong way aka screen not against my thigh->boom slcd broken against table corner..
Shhhhhhhh.. argh.
Sat like 1hr on my ass cursing in my mind and occasionally aloud.
After that, I pulled it together D), inspected the damage and only slcd was broken the digitiser for some miracle was undamaged (huh?) ordered new slcd from uk-hitech, it arrived couple days ago.
Was about to start disassembling it, was staring at the void stickers for few seconds-> bah screw it and screeech scraped them off and continued. Took around 1hr10mins.
And as you can see:

Hi i have the same problem, i was listening to music when suddenly the phone froze i gave it a minuet to settle but no response, so i pulled the battery and pressed power and it turned on. it got stuck on the htc screen and was stuck their for good 5 minuets, so i pulled the battery again(intending to hard reset from clock work) but this time the phone does not power on at all! only orange led comes when i plug the phone on charge if i press power button the led goes off but the phone does not seem to come on at all. this happened to me when i was abroad few weeks ago, the odd thing was when it happened first time around i left it for like an hour and it turned on like nothing ever happened and worked since untill today. its been good 4 hours since it died =[. its still under warranty but its been s-off will HTC still repair it? did you find out what they repaired on your one ? incase HTC dont repair i can get third party store to repair it but id like to know what the cause is? and by the way the mother board was replaced by HTC before(it died after 2 days when i first bought it, this is the second mother board)
Okay so I have searched about and found no proper answer to my issue.
I have had to dig out my old HTC TP2 since I need a second phone and I loved this thing.
I recently bought a new battery for it because I recall it having an issue with life before i replaced it.
Now it wont stay on or charge properly.
It shows and orange charge light right, then when it gets enough juice to actually power the phone, it vibrates, turns on, then turns off.
If i try the hard reset option (power button and 2 buttons on front) it goes to the bootloader screen then powers off again.
Should I just donate it to the concrete?
Of have you magicians on this awesome site found this issue in the past and squashed it?
Thanks team
**It seems to be getting just enough power to the battery to turn the phone on, then it turns off.
Not sure why its even turning on, shouldn't it be charging and stay OFF until I turn it on?

You could try an external charger. Then put the battery back in the phone with it at 100% to see what it does. The generic battery chargers are cheep on ebay.

Or if you have 2 batteries - get the phone booted with one battery, then swap batteries while the phone is running.
I used to do this in Android on the TP2, I assume it works on WinMo...
Hello all,
I have a htc desire 820 single sim. I had absolutely no problems with baterry etc.. This phone has only 4 months - i didnt put it into water.
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone 3 weeks ago but it was running with no problems. I didnt install any aggressive software that may brick the phone. I just wanted to get access to all files.
So two days ago in the evening i just installed Skype app and wanted to download a file sent by my friend then in the moment that i was downloading my phone suddenly went off - just like there was no batterry etc (i remember it was more than 30% of batterry). I couldn't turn it on - 0 react. I tried to charge him - the orange led is blinking with 1 sec frequency. I left this phone overnight and still nothing - now its 2nd day that its charging and still nothing. I doubt it was a virus becouse i recieved this file on other phone without any problems.
I tried:
-volume buttons - booting in loader = nothing
-plenty chargers, cables = nothin
-charging via pc usb = nothing
-phone is not detected in pc after i connect it (just orange led blinking)
My question is, what actually happened? What else could i do to try to unbrick my phone?
The day before it got bricked i accidently let it fall down on the ground but frim 40cm distance (i have a silicone cover around) = but i didnt notice anything after falldown.
Thank You for any advices.
I think it's battery problem. I had something similar with One X. You can try leave your phone plugged in to charger (try every micro-usb charger that you have in home) for a night. LED should turn green, if not I recommend send it to htc for battery change or to "professional service" in your city Good luck!
Tighten two volume buttons and the power button when you see a black screen and holding down the volume- and power button that would go to bootloader.Telefon must be connected to kompyuteru
Im trying plenty chargers and cables at the moment - for now= 0 results @vuk1963 i tried your method but 0 react from the phone - just like before.. totally dead- just this god damn blinking orange led..
Edit:
WOW... my phone is alive!! All i did now was:
I tried charger from my galaxy core (same amperage like htc 820 = 1A) but i used original cable from my htc charger. The led was still blinking so i decided to "knock" the back panel (around the place where connector from batterry is), then i pressed vol+ and vol- and power button for around 20-30s, then i pressed vol- and power button for around 30s then i released everything, then i pressed power button for 10sec and my phone turned on!!! im so happy! my phone is still on warranty but i live abroad now so i need to send it to my country to start warranty procedure but no im free of this!
Thank You guys for pushing me to try once more the magical tricks with cables, chargers and buttons
Btw.
My batterry is now 100% = that means it was charging all the time?
i don't know what was that but i am happy that it work now.
Thank You guys!
The phone was overheating and it stopped!
Leaving it for a while, then the combination of buttons did the trick.
Great to hear.
Send it back to htc, mine had the same problem. There is no way they will find out u are unlocked or rooted since it wont start. The problem is the motherboard failed. I got mine back with the motherboard replaced.
Oooook. So I have looked hi and low and cannot seem to find any answer to my dilema.
Phone was working perfectly on the Android N OTA. Last night while listening to music out with friends the phone powered down due to battery drain. In my pocket it goes. Pull it out of my pocket because of a vibrate and it is on the Enter Pattern to start Android screen(the security pattern unlock to start) I can see the battery indicator is the red exclamtion point so i just pushed the power button to turn off the screen and put it in my pocket
Got home and put it on the stock charger from LG and no battery indicator comes on. Cant boot it. Leave it on the charger overnight and it still has no charging indicator and no boot. It also does not flash the red LED that lets me know the battery is dead when i try to turn it on.
Tried to connect it to PC via USB cable(its aftermarket so not sure if it will work) and nothing.
I am so stuck here guys. I have Nexus Protect but would really like to fix this if its simple and avoid and $80 deductible

Same thing happend to me, well. Took it in, they replaced it under warranty, said, it cant be repaired.
OK did you have to use Nexus protect? That's an $80 deductible for me. How can I check if I am still covered under warranty?
My phone have a red light when I try turn on. I cant put it in recovery moderno, cant turn on.. nothing... any solution?
That probably means the battery is too discharged to start up the main processor. Leave it charging overnight.
If it eventually has the red light go away but the screen does not come on, check with LG to see if they will repair it under warranty. I've got one currently there with them with a similar issue and is being repaired (or replaced. not sure yet) free of charge. I didn't even buy it, but found it in a dumpster. No proof of purchase needed.
My first one did the same, I sent it back to Amazon, got a full refund and bought a new one.
Hey, Any news about your problem ?
My friend give me his old phone and he has the same behaviour, he blinked red (or orange) for 10 sec and now there is nothing. He doesn't turn on, but on the top i can feel a little heat between the fingerprint and the camera. So there is some power in. On iFixit it seems that at this position, there is the Qualcomm power IC.
He bought the phone more than 2 years so now I think they will be no warranty so what should I do, contact LG to try ?
cheers
