Hi guys, first sorry for my bad english, I'm italian
So... i've an 11 days old HTC desire, i'ven't flashed it with unoffial roms, never done strange things with it but now, it doesn't want to works.
The only operations i made with my htc are:
1 official firmware update (yesterday),
2 apps download from market...
the phone was on before i found it off without any reason...
Never dropped, never beaten, i don't know why it doesn't works
Please can you help me?
now i've leaved battery from phone,
could be the protection for overheating on?
Take out the battery and plug the mains charger in, see if the LED shows.
Yes led shows without battery, orange and green...
So the phone works, what exactly is the problem?
i can't turn on the phone, if i try to press power on button it doesn't works...the screen doesn't turn on... if i put battery in and i try to charge the phone no leds are shown... leds appairs only with removed battery...
Try turning on the phone while the battery is out but it's plugged in at the mains. The phone seems fine as it has already shown that the LED's turn on.
Try wiping the plates on the side of the battery with a fabric of some sort and see if that helps.
i've yet tried the first options, doesn't works...
i'll try the second now...
cannot be an overheating protection problem?
Ok guys, my htc has started, but now it stays stucked on HTC green boot logo...
Edit: HTC doesn't start again, ill try to leave battery for a while again than restart...
If its stuck on the green HTC logo then your phone is stuck in a boot loop. Are you sure you haven't done anything with your phone?

only the official update and installed some apps.... i've read that an hard reset maybe help me... hoe to perform it? I've to wait about 2 hours to restart the phone...
Please anyone can help me to make an hard reset on desire?
Try turning on the Desire with the volume down button pressed and then press the power at the same time. Should load the bootloader menu, give it a second or two and scroll down to clear storage by pressing volume down, then to select it, press the power button.

I need to hold power button? or press and release it?
With the 'volume down' button held, press and release the power button.

I have a HTC Tilt 2... I have been having a ton of problems with this phone but when it really freaks out, I usually take the battery out, let it sit a few days and then it starts working again. My phone started doing some funny things today so I restarted it as usual, it freezes and I remove the battery. When I turned it back on I got a red, green, blue and white screen with text:
RHOD300 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.87.0000
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
498, 526 792,855
795,211 214,211
223,845 Calibrated
This has never happened before.
This RGB&W screen used to say serial when it first happend a few hours ago but then I installed ActiveSync and plugged it into PC, now says USB.
ActiveSync won't recognize my device, it does appear in My Computer.
I tried following directions in another forum to turn the device off then hold the pickup/hangup/power button at the same time...a different screen appeared than the forum directed, a gray screen with "Trigger Ramdump Mode"...then I couldn't do anything.
I can restart it back into the tri-color screen...
I need help in laymen's terms. I've never tried to change anything about the phone's operating system, I've never done an update or anything, I do not have the Tilt2 CD.
Right now I have my SIM card and my SanDisk card removed, I was afraid it could get erased when I tried the pickup/hangup/power button trick.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!
This screen is called the bootloader. Its used by technicians (or more advanced users) to load the OS or "ROM" onto the phone. It may be stuck in bootloader because some of the OS files are damaged or missing, and the OS is not booting up. Or possibly even a hardware failure.
Pulling the battery may/may not be the culprit. I've read someone on here mention that pulling the battery can corrupt files on the phone. If the phone is lagging, frozen, then pulling the battery is not the correct way to restart the phone. The correct method of restarting the phone by soft reset is done by sticking the stylus into the small red hole/button on the side of the phone, while the batter cover is off:
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_pro_2_rhodium_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
Pulling the battery is only a method of last resort, as the soft reset button will work in almost all cases.
Hard reset by holding TALK, END and POWER is probably not going to work. It requires the OS to be working, and you are not even getting to the point that the OS is booting.
Its supposed to say "USB" when the phone is connected to your PC via the USB cable. If I remember properly, it will say "Serial" in bootloader for a second when you plug the phone to USB, and switch to saying "USB" after that. USB is a form of serial connection, after all (USB = Universal Serial Bus). As long as it says "USB", you are in somewhat good shape, since it SHOULD allow you to try the following.
Try downloading the latest ROM from HTC. This is actually a newer version than the ROM that was originally on your phone, but still "official" ATT software. And by most accounts, better than the old ROM. Since its official software, installing this will not endanger any warranty you may still have on the phone.
Its the first file on the following page ("ROM Update"):
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/
With your phone connected to your PC by USB, run the .exe ROM update file and follow the instructions that come up on your PC screen. It should work. Try it and let us know.
Bear in mind, you will lose any personal data you have on the phone (contacts, texts, emails, etc). But you've probably already lost those.
Its possible there is some other way out of it, I certainly don't know all the tricks. But in searching around this site, being stuck in bootloader seems to require flashing a new ROM to get out of it. And it seems that you are prepared to lose your personal data, based on the fact that you were already trying to hard reset (the TALK, END, and POWER button process) which also dumps all your data. And flashing the official ROM is really pretty easy to accomplish. Just a pain that you have to re-setup the phone again, since it will basically be returned to factory condition (but in this case, a slightly newer version of the OS).
The SAME thing happened to My HTC Tilt 2 an Hour ago (1/13/2010 4:46pm)
The same exact thing occurred to my HTC Tilt 2 today. It is stuck on the red green, blue and white screen with the same yellow 'config' type message . The white bottom strip has the black letters "serial" typed in.
My problem also, is that the phone stays "on" until i pull the battery out. The moment i place the battery back in the phone, the keys stay lit up instantly and the screen is black. When pressing the power button, then i get the same red, green, blue and white screen.
Ive tried holding the talk/end/power buttons all at the same time, it doesnt make a difference. So i cant get to the step where you press the "volume up" key so to initiate the master reset.
Ihad no idea the HTC Tilt2 would just fry like this. I had no additional apps that were unusual to the norm, i even had more free space than used on the set. its not like the phone was over loaded.
Hmmmmm.... help!!!
Re-read above about "soft-reset" and you might want to try reflash your phone.

Read my post above. Your OS is missing or damaged, and you need to reflash (re-install) it.
Master reset re-loads the OS from the ROM area of your memory. The ROM is damaged, so their is nothing to reload. That's why its stuck in bootloader (tri-color screen).

Today, i stuck the battery in the phone (Tilt2) pressed the hard reset keys. THIS time it allowed the volume-UP key to finally kick in the reset to default cycle. I got the phone working again and have restored my last backup So, I havent lost anything.
The only problem now i am noticing is the light on the keyboard never goes off. Even when I power the phone down, "the keyboard stays lit".. I am having to remove the battery just to keep it from draining when the phone is not in use.hmmm. is there a regEdit key I can modify that may turn off the keys? id rather have no light at all over no battery juice. If i can edit the key to turn off the backlight on the keyboard permanantly , this will be a temp fix for me until i get a new phone.
as anyone ever experienced this?

Well, today 1/18/2011: the above issue seem to have vanished altogether. Very good. I did nothing but what i was resolved to do until I buy a new phone (take the battery out so to completely power down the phone and lights).
Today, my ole third hand decided to work like normal! Yay!. All of a sudden it rebooted, and now the keyboard backlight turns off when the keypad is closed and you can see it light up when extended. and most importantly: the back lighty for the keypad goes "off" when the phone is powerd down. go figure this one.
I am glad its working like normal now, but i know its time to get a new phone. These are just symptoms of the "big-crash" soon to come. I am backing up every day.
For now, very very glad my phone is back to "normal"
device turned screen off and since then it dosent turn it on, all the command line (the 4 touch buttons) are vibrating while touching, phone rings when a call recieved but i cant do anything with it.
i want to sync my device to my PC to backup all my stuff but i cant choose the sync, what can I do?
Please help me...
Ok try turning off the device fully, pull the battery out and then put back in. Press volume down and power together for 5-10 seconds and tell us if the screen comes up. Also, did you drop it by any chance?

Hi All
I bought an HTC One V second hand last week and it was running fine up until yesterday. I bought a new Micro SD 32gb card and it seemed ok. I tried to download a map for skobbler (legally) but the thing kept stalling and slowing down. I had the no sim sign a couple of times as well as a disk type sign that I can't find in the HTC One V manual. Anyway, then I decided to turn off the device and take out the sd card. Booted but kinda slow. I finished with trying to boot the device with neither a sim nor micro sd inserted and the device wont boot properly.
I can charge, the orange light comes on and the yellow led was lit this morning to signify that it's fully recharged etc. When I connect the device to my PC there are two drives that appear on My computer but I can't access them.
I've tried the hard reset, holding down volume and power button but all I get is the three logos flashing at the bottom of the handset. They flash maybe 14 times then nothing. Once I let go of the buttons I get the the white screen 'HTC quietly brilliant' then nothing but black screen. It's weird because you can kind of see that the screen is on but it's black.
I will add that swiftkey was installed by a friend of mine and I didn't pay for it. The rest of the apps were purchased or free.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first smartphone!

Is your one v rooted...?? Try getting into bootloader mode (power button + volume down key, long press both the keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds and you should be in the bootloader mode) after that perform a factory reset from there ..i think it will fix your problem ..+ u should not use 32gb SD card on a single core device ..it will make one v really slow..
Good luck ...
EDIT-
Have sent you a message on xda check your messages
hmm i used a 32gb memory card
do what Pranav says
As far as I know it's not rooted - however I bought it 2nd hand. I've tried the volume and power button together but it just vibrates, goes to the white screen 'htc quietly brilliant' and then permanent black screen.
This sounds sort of like a brick....

1. Turn off your device as u do.
2. Then press volume down.
3. After pressing volume down press power key. Don't release volume down.
4. Don't release any key unless and until u go to hboot screen.
5. From that screen reset your phone.
Follow step 2,3 and 4 properly. Cause it wont go into hboot unless u do it properly.

Thanks guys, I finally managed to reset the device. Problem was it was really turning off - kept restarting so I had to press the buttons to restart and then press again before the device tried to boot. Appreciate the help.
Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum so bear with me. I'm having trouble with my HTC one X. The screen doesn't respond and stays black whilst the phone is still on. I can still receive messages and change volume, but the screen always remains black. I'm sending it in to get repaired under warranty, but they said I have to remove all my photo's/contacts etc. Here lies my problem, when I connect it to my PC it automatically goes into USB charge mode. As I can use the screen on the phone, I can't change it into USB data mode so I can access all my files. Does anyone know a way around this, or a way to access the phone from the computer?
Thanks, Chris.
