Hi guys, I have htc one x for over a year now. it was working fine but recently it just gone dead. i haven't done any firmware update or root device etc. i gave it to one repair shop the guy said that it might have memory IC problem and other things (processor, power ic) are fine but memory ic is not available right now. i showed it to another shop but that guy said that its processor is gone dead and there is nothing you can do. i don't know what to do. plz help me, if there is any possible solution for y device??
Thanks,
Since, I'm having the same problem, I'm wondering if there's a reliable way to check, which component exactly is broken. Any ideas?
And secondly: Is there any way to gain access to the internal memory if we assume, that all other components are irrepairably broken?

In the first post I just want to salute all users of this forum and I hope to help me to solve the problem with a HTC P3300 that is dead.
The phone was dead when I get it and I so there is no suffers mechanical shocs or to be damaged by water or something liquid.
When I conect it to a power supply and push power on the device start consuming about 110 mA and just stay in that mode.In other devices the problem was solved by replacing the quartz that gave the tact frequency to CPU or by resoldering the CPU.With this I've made both things but no way to work.If someone had this problem before I just want to tell me how did solve it;where can I found it's diagram schematics or a service manual.Can be this a software problem and possible need to flas it via jtag procedure?
Thanks a lot and I hope to repair it!
After a few hours of work on it I succed to make it working.The problem was from flash chip(resolder it and it's OK).I also find a service manual for it but it's not good(it show how to assembly/dissasembly the device).
All the best!

Hi!
Could you please give us the tutorials? A friens has bricked his Artemis and I would like to try to bring it back.
Hi all, I have been reading this forum for a while now, but this is my first post. I had a hero before I got the HTC desire hd, and I love both phones. But the desire hd has a problem. The phone has started turning off when I use the camera with flash. The camera is fine without the flash. Also the leds don't work with the flashlight app.
The phone isn't rooted, and hasn't been dropped etc. I have reset the phone and no difference. Any ideas. Cheers des.
some more info. The flash and the flashlight app used to work but now don't. sometimes the phone doesn't switch off when I try the camera flash, but the flash doesn't flash.
also I need to remove the battery to make the phone startup after this fault. the battery and sim card are fitted fine. The phone is about 6 weeks old sim free from handtec. I sent a email to HTC about the fault on Saturday, but have heard nothing back other than a email receive confirmation. are they usually this slow.
Sounds like a hardware fault to me. I'd return it for repair asap.
That's what I'm thinking too. Just don't want to be without the phone.. typically how long are they away for repair?
Depends if they're either gonna replace it right away or attempt to repair it. Repairing time is differnet everywhere...
Depends how busy they are and availability of parts. Unfortunately there is no way to be sure. Could be anything from 1-6 weeks.
Just to let you know HTC have arranged to collect the phone and take it for repair. 10 working days with no phone, boo.
Facing the same issue.
How was yours resolved and what was the problem according to htc?

I had the similar problem. I fixed it by myself changing battery. It was faulthy. After changed it with another I didn't ha ve nothing problem again
Hi, I have been using my htc desire for over a year, till yesterday No problems. But when I have tried
to install chess game, I think I have crushed the system ( I am not sure about it). On the screen, there are strange lines and I have tried to hard reset the phone, got three androids, but I could not execiute th commands even by using voloume and power butts. The was no response at all. I have charged full, and I have received a call, by luck only I have been able to see for a short moment some details on the scree.
Any clue what to do? still no response from the htc service, please help.
If your not rooted or anything then just wait. May as well claim on warranty and get it fixed properly.
by "crushed".... do you mean you have sat on it (or something) and caused physical damage? or you think that by installing the chess app something went wrong causing a software error?
Think they mean crashed
I'm looking mainly if someone can point me in the right direction regarding an issue.
My phone I got off a mate doesn't ask me when I plug it in via USB what I want to do. I understand there are settings that I have changed for it to ask me what to do. Charging works fine with phone off and booted.
I have tryed cables that I know are for data as well as power ( checked both computers and with a kindle and gf's cyanagenmod phone both work.)
Some might say my mate tryed to root it. I have asked him and he only did one over the air update. He has no gain from lying as he said he would pay for repair( replace ment of the USB board as I belive the phone has a upper and lower board.) Trying to save money (hes a mate and I'm not going to mess him about.) and a save a repair that might not be needed or even fix the issue.
I have cleaned the port with a small brush and cables have a normal "snug" fit.
Futher to research on forums I think I might have a USB bricked phone. At one point I unmounted my SD card while USB dev mode on and I got " USB not reconized". At this point I unplugged the phone to then install drivers. Drivers did not work. Now you may think broken but my experince says if the connecter was broken that it wouldn't even charge as I belive the outer pins are the power.
When I look up desire hd USB brick online I get only results for desire phones not desire hd. With desire issues seems that the phone needs to be rooted barr one walkthough that's once again geared towards non hd desire.
My points are-
Am I correct to look at this as my phone could be USB bricked or does this issue only affect the desire model of phone. Belive it could be caused by the ota update.
Has anyone else had this issue? If you got the phone fixed did a lower board replacement correct it?
Any links to further reading or solutions would be great help. I feel I'm failing to describe my issue in the correct terms if it is indeed a USB brick.
Cheers for reading this post, 2nd in length only to my life story...

Can you provide more info like what ROM and kernel you're using? Also, do you have a recovery image you could flash?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
My understanding im am using "stock" HTC software on my phone and it never has been rooted or had a custom rom installed (yet - fingers crossed ).
This is from "About Phone" then "Software Infomation" in Settings.
Android Version - 2.2.3
Kernel Version -2.6.35.10-gd2564fb

I also think i dont have a recovery, as when I do a boot holding power and volume down and click recovery its loads for a bit and then shows a phone with a red ! next to it.
Just to learn, I am correct from what I have read that the kernel is just like a modern OS kernel for a laptop/desktop. Its the part that makes the software and hardware talk?
When you got the phone, had the phone gone through a data wipe (factory reset)?
...And you've tried using the USB connection via another computer as well?
...And in the settings, under 'Connect to PC' you have 'Ask' checked?
The phone had a factory reset done via android settings menu and when you hold power and vol down.
Checked settings and it says ask.
No dice on another pc double checked the cable with kindle and data transfer was ok.

I also have the same problem with my desire hd.
Trying different roms didn't seem to fix it.
I'm thinking of sending it for repair.
First i want to flash a stockrom, witch seems quite hard if your USB doesn't work.
Hey guys,
I have always been very satisfied with my One X, but it's starting to piss me right off.
Since the last update (1.29.401.11) the GPS isn't working with my phone anymore. In addition I have a yellow spot on my display which doesn't disappear.
Today I returned from my holiday abroad and I wanted to connect to my wifi network at home, but it just doesn't work. If I click "connect" nothing happens.
Seems like my formerly perfect working One X has turned into the most horrible one with every problem you could think of.
I did try a hard reset earlier, but it didn't fix the issues. Can I expect the problems to be fixed with the next update (4.04 or 4.1), or is it definitely a hardware fault?
Does anyone have any experience how long it approximately takes HTC to repair the phone? This is important, as I am planning to move to Germany soon and I am not sure if I should send the phone to HTC in Germany or the UK. I didn't unlock or root my phone, so I guess the warranty claim should be no problem at all. Do you think I can expect to receive a new phone instead of having mine repaired? as far as I know they will have to replace the display and the mainboard because of my problems, right? So a new phone would be the easier choice for them or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
You could try to flash the latest RUU, some who had WiFi problems now say they are fixed.
Won't hurt to try.
RUU can be installed on stock locked devices, so maybe something to look into?
You can get the RUU from my Dropbox link.

Enter fastboot on phone,
Plug in usb cable to phone from PC
Should now say fastboot USB on phone
Double click RUU on PC to install

Since your on 1.29.401.11 you can flash the 2.17.401.2 RUU which is the latest from htc. You dont have to be htc dev unlocked to flash it. It might fix the radio issues that you are having. If not it might be a hardware problem so you would have to send it to htc. I have never sent any of my htc phones back for a fix (touch wood) so i cant comment on that.
You can find the RUU In this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 The thread does have mirrors for the RUU if you dont have a file factory account.
Hope it helps :cyclops:
Thank you so far! I just flashed the new RUU, but it didn't fix any of my problems.
The worst about this is, that I didn't know that a factory reset is performed during the process, I thought it's just like installing the automatic updates, so I didn't do a backup of my latest data. I don't blame you for that, I should have thought of that before flashing the new RUU version.
Anyways, I guess I will have to send my phone to HTC to fix the problems.
HTC say their max turn around time is 1-2 weeks I'd give it 3 just to be safe and plan from that.
Another problem I have now after the RUU update: My phone is always saying "Damaged phone storage" and it is asking me to format the sd card. If I click cancel nothing happens, but I can't access the storage at all. If I connect the phone to the PC it doesn't give me the option to choose "Disk Drive", there is just "Charge only", "USB Tethering" and "Internet Pass through".
As I have some important data on the storage, I need to access my phone storage before sending my phone to HTC or formatting it.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
EDIT:
I just tried to connect to my Media Link HD and it works perfectly, still I cannot connect to my home wifi network. This is a bit weird, as the Media Link HD connects to the phone via wifi as well, doesn't it?

Sounds like the antenna connection hardware fault that also can affect the GPS antenna. See the start of this thread for info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
Flashing ROMs is not going to fix it, it is a known hardware fault. I'm wondering if your phone has run hot or has been stressed/bent, for example in your pocket, this potentially causes the broken antenna connections and might also have caused the yellow spot.
Regards
Phil
After another hard reset the wifi is working again, still having the GPS problems and the yellow spot though.
I actually don't think I ever bent the phone, of course I carry it around in my pocket, but that's what a phone should be made for, right? However, if it was bent in any way will this cause any problems with a warranty claim? The yellow spot doesn't really bother me as it is barely visible, but I have purchased Navigon a while ago and I would like to use it with my One X now, so I wanted to send the phone to HTC sooner or later to get it fixed.
The other day I tried to use Navigon on a short trip (around 20 miles) without expecting a GPS signal at all.
After like 5 Minutes it suddenly picked up a GPS signal and Navigon worked fine for approximately 10 miles. Then it suddenly just stopped again.
Is this really a hardware issue? Any ideas how to probably get it fixed without sending it to HTC?
If a flash of new ROM and hard reset doesnt fix your problems, its most likely hardware issue. Like everyone said, just send it back to HTC.
