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)
Hi Guys,
I am having a serious problem with my HTC One X, it doesn't turn on (I have tried long pressing the power button and long pressing the power button + Vol Down combo) and it doesn't charge (the LED indicator doesn't turn on).
Perhaps it will help if I explain what happened before this:
I was on a train watching an episode of a TV show, a 720p MKV file, in MX Player, when I noticed that my battery was at around 50%, nothing unusual yet. So I decided to bring out my external battery pack and charge my phone. The external battery pack has a capacity of 7800mAh and has two USB outputs, one is labelled as 1A and the other in labelled at 1.5A. The night before I had tried charging my phone from both outputs, and to my surprise, my phone told me it would take 2 hours to charge when it was plugged into the 1A output, and 3 hours to charge when it was plugged into the 1.5A output.
Anyway, after I plugged my phone into the battery pack, I continued watching this video on MX Player. For some strange reason, the video crashed, it stayed at the same frame, even though MX Player told me that the video was still playing and the time was moving forward. I thought this was strange so I decided to rewind a few seconds. The animation that comes up on MX Player when you move forwards or backwards showed up - [10:00] - 5 seconds, (or something like that). The video file stayed on the same frame. I cant remember if the phone turned off by itself, but what might have happened was that I held the power button for upwards of 10 seconds and then it turned off.
At first, I thought that my phone had crashed and would just reboot, as had happened to me a few times previously.
What is strange is that my phone was on around 50% charge, so I don't know why it wouldn't turn on again.
The end result was that my phone was dead, it wouldn't charge or turn on. The red LED indicator to show that it was charging did not turn on. I tried holding the power button for upwards of 10 seconds, but nothing happened, the three lights at the bottom of the screen didn't blink. I tried holding the power button and volume down button for upwards of 10 seconds, but nothing happened here either.
I bought the HTC One X in July of last year on Three UK, so it has been more than 1 year since I bought the phone, but less than 2 years, so I am not sure if I am still covered under warranty, as I already had it fixed once, earlier this year.
In addition, my phone is rooted and on a custom rom, the latest CM10.1.2 stable build to be precise. I'm pretty sure this voids my warranty, however, my phone is dead, so perhaps the repair guys won't be able to work out that I was on a custom rom.
I appreciate any help and advice that you guys can give me!
Thank you so much,

Well first of all they will figure out ,when they boot the phone, that you voided it and secondly does the phone over heat because that could have had anything to do with it and ,especially since your in the uk, You should have got a secondary warranty like
HTML:
protectyourbubble.com
But now the best you can do is buy the warranty and wait a month as thats the minimum and then tell them that your phone has broke they will then fix it or give you a replacement...OR what you have done is burn out the battery the best option for this is to replace it but then again these are your choices insurance, or battery

You say that they will figure out I voided the warranty when they boot the phone, however, the problem is that I am unable to boot the phone. If I sent my phone in to repair to Three UK, would that be the best possible option? I have done some research and I have two years of warranty.

Battery failure is a hardware fault...MOST places will accept a return even if your bootloader is unlocked and custom ROM's installed since the software has little effect on an out and out hardware failure.
Secondly, if the phone will not boot there is no danger of them even getting that far.
Lastly, if it is still under warranty, return it for repair/replacement.
It was likely your external battery pack that has killed your phone.

Thanks so much for your help!
I had a little ordeal with Three UK the last time my phone broke. My screen died, which was clearly a hardware fault, however, they wanted to charge me ~£80 because I had unlocked the bootloader. I called them many times, but the customer service was a pain in the ass, and in the end they dropped the charge to ~£40, even though I had told them repeatedly that it was a hardware problem. In the end, the phone they returned to me 'after fixing' still had a dead screen, so they gave me a refurbished replacement for free (after calling customer service)
If they fix the battery, perhaps by replacing it, will my phone boot then? Because if it does, surely they will see that I am rooted and on a custom rom?
Out of curiosity, how would my external battery pack kill my phone? Would 1.5A kill my phone? I think 1A is what the voltage should be.
Thanks,

Well Amps and Volts aren't the same thing.
And the HOX will only accept a maximum input of 1A anyways, regardless of the output of the charger. But if your charger surges enough you can burn out that charging circuit.
Now...an external battery pack charger operates similarly to a universal mains charger in that it can provide a range of voltage, amperage and wattage outputs. You will want to make sure your external pack is capable of providing the correct voltage and amperage output. In the case of the HOX (and about a million other things) it's 5V @ 1A. So it is very likely to be compatible.
BUT...SOME external packs HAVE been known to surge and completely overload the charging circuit of the device(s) connected. I am not sure of brands or anything like that, but it's generally a result of poor internal design and or/components, and it SOUNDS like that is exactly what happened.
If 3 UK are being b*stards i'd dig out the actual paperwork warranty and have a look see at the T&C's. Who is liable for what, when, and how much.

Voltage thrills, current kills
I bought my external battery pack at some market stall, so I can believe that it may have been faulty. However, having said that, my HOX was able to charge the previous night from both 1A and 1.5A outputs.
What story should I tell Three UK when I contact them to ask them to repair my phone? Last time my display broke, I told them that it was a hardware fault, but they basically ignored me and told me something else (they were being complete wankers) -_- and tried to charge me anyway
What will they do if they fix the phone? Will they replace the battery? And if they do, will they be able to boot and see that I have rooted?
Thanks,

Firstly, stop bumping. Grinding is far superior
OK, so it seems to me that you bought some crappy Chinese half made battery pack, which lasted all of one day before turning into a raving phone killer.
Seems to me your battery is fried, not your internal components and probably not your NAND, but I don't have a good knowledge of how the HOX is engineered to handle very high surges. I have no idea if all your internal stuff is fried too.
Contact 3 and see if they will replace for free. If not go to a normal repair shop and ask for a full diagnostic + repair. That way they can't charge you for a procedure that doesn't fix your phone.
Good Luck and let us know what happens

No, it was a really nice battery pack, 7800 mAh battery pack with an aluminium case. And the guy selling them was charging his Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on one of them, and even let me charge my phone on it. Before I left with the battery pack, he made me charge my phone with it to check that it worked, and it did.
Are you sure about full diagnostic + repair? How much would that cost?
Guys, what part(s) do you think are broken with my phone?
If it is just the battery, I might consider buying one and replacing it myself.

Hi
I`ve had this problem a number of times
Simple fix - plug into your pc - hold power button and down volume button for 15 seconds - the low screen will flash a few times - then plug back into the power supply - check to see if red light flashing and leave for 10 mins - then power up - be warned, let it charge up before using or will crash again
Same thing just happened to me now except that I was just playing Candy Crush and noticed around 51% battery, all of the sudden game froze and tried to reboot a couple of times but didn't work and finally phone got completely turn off and couldn't turn it back on, when I plug it in for charge no charging indication
Same problem here: One X doesn't turn on, not even charging indication. Still, the phone gets a bit warm when connected to the wall charger - so there is a charging current, but with no effect..?!
Is there a known solution to this problem? Exchanging battery/logic board/...?
UPDATE: Changing the logic/mother board did the trick for me. Now I'm back with a working phone, but all the data is lost. Just exchanging the battery or some other part (like power button) did not suffice in my case (tried everything).

I had this problem like you, I did what you did for first times, then no way to charge it or power it on, I ended changeing battery, it worked for few weeks, then same problem again and this time a hear some strange bee sounds from charger.
The bee sounds are only for this one, when i plug in another x one I hear nothing.
So..? what to do now..
LE
I removed the battery and put it back and now it works
My friend gave me his HTC One X to fix (PJ46100) and he said it has been dead for months. After a few diagnostics, and about 30 mins on charge and 10 mins in my PC, it isn't connecting to the PC, I have no word from ADB, the phone itself has no LED light showing, no vibrations, nothing. My aim here is to get it on at LEAST in fastboot/recovery mode. I have never used a HTC One X but being addicted to my 4.3 Desire, I know how the usual HTC fastboot works. I know its power + volume down but is there any other way? I remember my Desire was Power + back button, EVEN though everyone online said it was Power + vol down.... Does the One X have another method?
My mate wants me to get his photos off it, and thats it, its mine
So yeah, any word on what it could be?
Doing loads of research, its a 70% chance of being a battery issue and a 30% chance of the board being dead.
I am not afraid of taking this baby apart so go ahead and ask your questions.
Thanks guys.
(BTW - I may be posting from another account in my replies....)
Hi there, I also have the same problem as yours. No led when charging, not detected by pc, its basically a paperweight. I also had done my research and I can conclude mine is a board issue since the problem occurred after transferring some files from pc and the battery is perfectly fine then. If you believe battery is the culprit, try put the phone in a sealed bag and put it in the freezer. It might bring the battery alive. I have took mine apart and I noticed that during charging, the board will be warm and same goes to the battery. This would suggest the phone is taking the current from the charger.
same problem here
I've revived dead phones where the only issue was that the battery had lost so much charge that it wouldn't charge via the phone's charging circuit e.g. Desire S and One V. Removing the battery and charging directly using another device solved it both times. Got to be worth a go. There's guides on removing/replacing the HOX battery on XDA. Just gotta go carefully!

Hi there dude.
I just replaced the battery, and yeah. Even without the charger, the board went warm for about 45 seconds. Charging does nothing, even with the new battery.
So I am guessing its the board.
Ouch.
This isn't even mine. My mate had this collecting dust since it broke about a year ago and he asked me to see if i fixed it.
His dad wanted some pictures off it, so I guess they are out of the picture (pun not intended, but eh.)
Anyway, do I buy ANY board or is there a special board for this model number?
eBay brings a few up when searching "HTC One X".
Cheers guys for the replies
I had tried charging the battery using the external charger and after connecting it to the board, it became warm and after few hours, it subside. I checked the battery and the voltage is 3v, the minimum discharge voltage. So i can say that the board suck the power and change it solely to heat. Is your htc one x tegra or snapdragon version?
Hello!
First of all - yes, I am completely aware that there are MANY similar threads, I've spent almost 3 hours now finding solution, no luck. I hope some good soul out there will be able to shed some light on my case So here it is:
Today, I was caught in a bad moment with low battery, and the phone discharged completely and turned off. I've connected it to the charger just about 5 mins later max, but the blinking LED of death got me there I have it on a charger for about 4-5 hours now (original HTC charger, of course tried both, the wall and the usb), the LED is still blinking, phone is cold (it's getting quite hot when it's charging normally), no reaction whatsoever, can't even enter any fastboot or recovery or anything. I've tried every possible combinations I have found, vol+ & power, vol- & power, both volumes & power, long, short, nothing helps. Now what's different than any other threads out there? The phone was NEVER rooted, I didn't unlock bootloader, flash, nothing. It was as stock as it could be since I had motherboard replaced (2 years ago, on warranty in HTC service). Now the warranty has ended, so I'm really hesitating to send it there, as it's propably gonna end up with new motherboard again, no matter what the problem really is (I live in Poland, and that's just a common "fix" no matter what the problem is). Current motherboard is the one with CID B25 (the one that never got any update, so it's stuck on Kitkat for 2 years now). Everything was working completely fine just a few hours ago, nothing indicated any battery problems, it just discharged, and now I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any helpful ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hello Scar9,
I had the same problem. To fix it, I had to charge my phone for 30 minutes. After that, I remove the back cover (to access to the battery). I connected the phone to my PC and I disconnected the battery. I wait any seconds (maybe 10 seconds) and I reconnected my battery (still the phone connected). The screen display a law charge of my battery (around 5 percents) but I can start my phone. After that I fully charged it and all seems OK !
I hope that can help you.
Regards.

Hello!
First of all - yes, I am completely aware that there are MANY similar threads, I've spent almost 3 hours now finding solution, no luck. I hope some good soul out there will be able to shed some light on my case So here it is:
Today, I was caught in a bad moment with low battery, and the phone discharged completely and turned off. I've connected it to the charger just about 5 mins later max, but the blinking LED of death got me there I have it on a charger for about 4-5 hours now (original HTC charger, of course tried both, the wall and the usb), the LED is still blinking, phone is cold (it's getting quite hot when it's charging normally), no reaction whatsoever, can't even enter any fastboot or recovery or anything. I've tried every possible combinations I have found, vol+ & power, vol- & power, both volumes & power, long, short, nothing helps. Now what's different than any other threads out there? The phone was NEVER rooted, I didn't unlock bootloader, flash, nothing. It was as stock as it could be since I had motherboard replaced (2 years ago, on warranty in HTC service). Now the warranty has ended, so I'm really hesitating to send it there, as it's propably gonna end up with new motherboard again, no matter what the problem really is (I live in Poland, and that's just a common "fix" no matter what the problem is). Current motherboard is the one with CID B25 (the one that never got any update, so it's stuck on Kitkat for 2 years now). Everything was working completely fine just a few hours ago, nothing indicated any battery problems, it just discharged, and now I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any helpful ideas?
Thanks in advance

Have you got any solution for this problem.
I too have same problem..
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to revive an HTC Desire 820 (dual-SIM model) that I have. There were several hardware issues with the phone - main one being the battery _completely_ blown and bulged out! So, I replaced the battery, along with the complete battery charging board, and the complete LCD display (which was also gone!)
Now, the issue I'm facing is, even after replacing 3 of the major parts with new ones, the handset is just not coming back to life! The red/orange LED on the front just keeps blinking (indicating that the mainboard is still working) but the phone simply does not respond to any combination of buttons, or even when I connect it to my laptop!
My core question is: Do I really need to have the _original_ HTC charger and USB charging cable (both of which I don't have) to get this thing up again?
If I can get some help and some clues as to what exactly is wrong here, I'll be really, really, REALLY thankful to you...!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!
