[Q] Desire HD keeps rebooting

HELP !! My desire HD keeps rebooting. I was on MIUI 1.10.26 and it had been giving me a problem for a few days. I didnt give it much thought untill it started rebooting again and again. it doesnt even starts without a charger. when i plug it to charger there is no charging indication. even the recovery mode keeps rebooting. once i managed to install another ROM (android revolution) but the problem persisted. i went to the htc service centre and they told me there is a problem with the motherboard and they would have to replace it with a new one which would cost me Rs.10,000( 225 $). i think they were trying to rip me off seeing that i kept the phone in great condition and it has never fallen from my hands.
Can anyone possibly know why the phone is acting this way ? do i have to spend that much money ? i can buy a second hand desire HD for that much money

[Q] S-Off Desire completely dead, safe to send back to reseller?

Hello,
While I was using my mobile it switched off and I couldnt open it again. I tried everything, battery pull and all kind of boots but nothing..
Even when i am connecting it with usb for charching the light doesnt turn on.
Did you heard any similar issue?
My phone is S-OFF but there is no way to connect to phone and restore it for warranty purpose... So if i send it to reseller and the phone is completely dead there is any possibility to find that is S-OFF? (I will try to format the SD Card.)

noones help? :S

You can't access safe boot and boot loader?

happened to me, it's dead. Call HTC and claim warranty.

no fastboot no recovery no blinking lights nothing. I will call HTC. I think that is a short circuit or something. It doesnt even blinking in charging mode. Do you think that is possible for HTC to check that the phone is S-OFF ?

they can see if it is S-OFF if they want.

So do you think that I should recover it back to S-On ? If yes is it possible? From what i read in Q/A Thread there is no way..

Don't be stupid, if the phone is dead, it's dead. My phone was S-OFF w/CM7 when this happened to me, and HTC sent me a replacement.

There IS no way.. if it doesn't turn on, don't worry about it and send it back. As I've said before I'm speaking from experience here...

Don't see how I'm being a ****, all I said was don't be stupid - since there's no way they could tell what software the phone is running if it's broken.

As long as it is not due to a bad flash and is faulty hardware, you should not have an issue

update crash

Hey people,
I've got the opportunity to buy an desire.
The problem is that the phone has crashed during an update.
I won't pass the boot screen.
Can I buy this phone and make it work again?
Or is it a waist of money?
Best regards,
Sven Bakker

Hmm, just a failed update...
It can be, but it doesn't need to be...
Pvt1 device or...
A lot more than you can imagine...

What does the boot screen say? Do you have any response with the volume up down buttons. Is there any fast boot or recovery access?
Sent from my Desire

The only thing i know is that it goes to the boot screen, it shows 3 androids on skateboards.
I dont know if the volume button still Works ( i assume it does )
What do you think? Is it fixable?
It doesnt have to be the google Android. Every costum OS that makers the phone work again is welcome haha

You got to write down what's written on the bootscreen. The volume keys move cursor on the boot screen?
Sent from my Desire

This is the picture of the bootscreen, this is wat the seller was giving me.
What is supose to happen when you press the volume button?

volume buttons just navigate up and down the menu. to get the phone working u have to create a goldcard and run the latest wwe ruu from fastboot. click bortaks troubleshooting guide in my sig and everything u need is there.

Now, seeing that the phone has a well known PVT1 motherboard it can easily be that you got a cracked device, that will eventualy work and update would be pushed after a freezer trick. However it can end up with overheating reboots.

Thanks guys, its good to hear that the phone is fixable.
Thank you for your help!
what is the difrents between a cracked device and a ''normal'' one?
One question left though,
Is it hard to fix it? haha
Thanks in advance!

yes can be fixed but like nlooooo says because its pvt1 model it could be a motherboard problem of over heating which is well known for that model. so this could be why its for sale in that state. so i personaly would not buy it. thats just my opinion

this maybe sounds really stupid to you, but what is the connection between an overheated motherbord, and a failed update?

over heating motherboard = hardware problem and causes phone to bootloop and not work. now if its a failed update then probably tried an ruu or that and it failed
Sent from my HTC Desire

so you think that the guy tried to fix it for himself but due to the hardware problem it failed?

The guy wants to sell it for 35 euro's
But what I don't get, when the phone is in the boot screen, then the hardware must be fine, or else it wont go to that screen right?

no because bootloader uses very little power. if it was me id buy it and take a chance for 35 euro. if it works then u got a great deal if it dont then u lose 35 euro which aint that bad, thats just my opinion

The seller said to me that when he leaves the phone for a few days, that sometimes the phone start propperly.
Is this an indication for overheating?

There is a rule in the stock market. Its called don't throw the good money after the bad.

Well... you somehow burned your motherboard. No fix with adb for that.

Indeed... Had the same problem after a while with random reboots and stuff. Last 'solution' for me was to put the phone about 15 minutes in the freezer, after that I was able to flash the RUU. Next morning it was dead again.
The phone got a new motherboard, no problems anymore.

The motherboard isnt burned. i think its kinda usb bricked... since the computer wont recognize it when plugget in. the phone is charging well...
im pretty sure there is something wrong with the HBOOt/rado.. since my girlfriend pulled out the battery while in hboot.

or maybe the battery is dead and not charging?

your girlfriend removed battery when u flashed HBOOT or phone was in HBOOT state?
is there any vibro when u switch on?

HTC One X dead

Hello guys, a friend of mine has a black One X, it worked very well since last night. He put it on charge but this morning the phone won't turn on and there is no more the orange charging light. No sign even if I plug it into USB ports
Is there any solution?
I would send it to warranty but it has bootloader unlocked and installed ARHD... do you know how much it would cost to repair?

I think you must send it for warranty htc will not get to know about bootloader and they will repair for free if in warranty.
