Hi,
My Desire was working perfectly until 2 days ago.
I was out cycling and had sports tracker and music on.I noticed at halfway that it was hot.I thought maybe it was because it was sunny,but on the way back it ran out of battery,which was unusual.
When I got home I discovered that I couldn't charge or turn on the phone.It had a red flashing light when plugged in.I read to do the volume buttons and power button default to restart.This worked and I can turn on the phone and charge,but the whole phone is really hot,whether the screen is on or not.When it gets very hot it flashes red then green alternately.
Is there anything I can do,or is my phone toast?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
I'm having strange issues with DHD. I've read a few threads with issues like this, but symptoms are always slightly different.
Yesterday, I've connected it to the charger (the battery was empty), and when I tried to turn it on, it just did 3 vibrations and orange notif. LED started blinking. When connected to the USB, the Windows recognizes device as Qualcomm, and further reading suggested that the phone is entering service mode, which is normally accessible with Power + Vol+. I've also found out that volume rocker can be the issue, but in my case I don't see anything wrong with it, it's working and looking like before.
No matter what I did, it always did the same, it won't even go into recovery (Power + Vol-), screen always stays blank, the only activity I'm getting are flashing LEDs and vibrations.
Also, phone is charging when turned off (battery removed and reinserted). I've charged it for a few hours yesterday and the green LED was on.
And finally, when turned off, and plugged into the USB, after few seconds, adb devices will show the device, and after the serial number it says recovery. Does that mean that the phone booted into the recovery? The screen is still black though.
So, the most important thing for me is to find out is it possible to return the phone back to stock, in order to send it for a repair. And even better, a solution for the problem
I believe its a hardware problem, although adb says its in recovery. Any more ibfo you could give us? ROM, how you rooted it etc?

thanks don't hurt ya know?
Take off battery,connect phone to charger via USB for 3 minutes ,than insert battery put battery cover now u should see orange light ,now press power button and voila
It's an issue with the volume rocker I think
Had a very similar issue when I had IceColdSandwich on my DHD, only started when I flashed that Rom, reflashed a different Rom, everything is fine again!

I'm not sure that the issue is with ROM, I'm starting to think that it's probably a hardware issue. And that's why I need to found out how to return everything to stock, and send it for warranty.
Try again it will work .may be leave it longer after you put the battery in like an hour .it should work after an hour press the power button

Today, i visit the service, flat cable and battery where reinserted and everything is normal now. You could try this method if you have a warranty. Best regards.

Thankyou so much after leaving phone in cupboard for like 5 years and forgot why it was on there I decided to plug it up. Then I remembered it wouldn't turn on and I was getting the orange blinking. After following your instructions it's all on again. Have upgraded since then so I guess this is a back up phone now lol
My htc one x is on cm 10 jellybean and i have been using it for a while and everything was fine. I got home with about 20% battery. I left my phone on my desk and came back after 30 minutes and my phone wouldnt turn on. I assumed that it was dead. It was very hot. I plugged it into the AC plug and nothing happened. I then tried my computer and still nothing. I was holding the power and volume when the led started to blink red. I searched online and it said that it was a overheating warning. I waited for the phone to cool and plugged it in and held the power and volume and the fastboot menu came up. I booted into recovery and then tried to restart the phone but it just wont turn on. Can anyone please help.
EDIT: the phone finally started. All that noise for nothing. Sorry for the post, mods can you please delete. Thanks

high5 I had the same problem today
Surfed on internet, chatted on Skype and downloaded about 15gigs with movies, games, books and some music ;D + charging and playing music in the meantime too.. and then KABOOOOM ;D it turns off and goes into the same scenario as yours.. It was so hot so I put it in the fridge for a half minute what an idiot..?
interesting, it will die or no? I was freaking scared when it didn't turn on..
DON'T TRY TO USE UR PHONE RAM MORE THAN UR COMPUTER'S.
Blinking red LED when charging also means your phone is completely drained.
hi
i recently installed JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD.İ succsesfully installed the rom and i used it for two day.After that i setted up the alarm to go to work and at the morning it was ringing but the sound level was very very poor.İ looked the screen it was not opening.Than i take out battery and powered on again it was not working.Only vibrating one time.İ thought that the battery is empty because of it.İ connected the charger and there isnt any red indicator on the phone it is not working.İ tried with different battery different charge.Take out battery for 30 mins but it doesnt change it is not working.Only when i press the power it is vibrating and 2 minute later vibrating again and nothing.Sometimes i am hearing a sound like the battery level is low something like that but nothing else.How can i solve this problem??

Got the same after flashing Jellytime R25. Maybe not battery issue since I've tested with my spare batteries to no avail. This happened right after successfully flashing and rebooting from CW Recovery.
EDIT: found one link that mention the volume being shorted hence it wont boot. suggested it ribbon connector. Did that and it now boots. Goodbye volume rocker. http://www.frameworktraining.co.uk/hdfixed/

i am reading reading but cant find the solution still not working what to do((((doesnt anybody know the solution
Only thing I can say.
Put in the power cable and try to start with volume down and power.
Hold it for some time till it vibrates.
A friend had a new HTC One V and got this also. I solved it by trying the above.
First times it did not worked. Only after some tries.

Hi,
My phone has been working fine since I did S-off and installed a LeeDroid 2.3 ROM a year ago. This wednesday I had to install another ROM because of boot loop problems with the previous one. I used VJ CM10.1 v5.3 which worked amazing for almost 2 days. Yesterday at night while the phone was charging I couldn't unblock it (black screen) and the orange led kept light event without usb cable. I removed the battery and since then the phone only vibrates continuously when I turn it on. Even without battery if I use an USB cable it starts vibrating inmediatly, of course with any screen response (in the dark you can see a very light attempt to start the screen but nothing else). The PC don't detect anything when I plug it and I can't use any key combination to get to Recovery.
I wasn't doing anything dangerous, only charging but the ROM was only 2 days old. Does anybody now what is happening or how could I fix it? Sorry if It has been responsed but I think not (It's no the 7 vibrations problem).
I can provide more information if needed.Thanks a lot.
Take out the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, then try to boot.

Same result. It only vibrates. I'm considering hardware fault (is 2 years and half old) but as I changed the ROM this week seems to be somewhat related.
Before we come to a conclusion, let's try all the stuff we can.
Does the phone boot in hboot?
No, all key combinations apparently have the same result.
The last thing i'd like you to try is putting your phone in the freezer with the battery taken out. Who knows, maybe it will boot afterwards.
If not, then send it to a service.
Thanks a lot, I will try. By the way, I've started saving money to buy the Nexus 4
AW: [HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously
You will love the N4
Anyway good luck on saving the life of your desire!

Thanks a lot. I tried everythink sooo after more than two years of Desire (including broken screen) it's time to move on to N4.
My htc google nexus has same problem, Continuous vibrates and wont turn on
Pls help, I am facing same problem, :crying:
Same problem any help guys?
So its died a day ago and i tried to charge it all day from yesterday and nothing happened.
But, 10 min ago I read that I should tried to connect it to my pc, and i pressed the power button and the volume down and when I did, my pc told me that its installing drivers.. (like most of the time when you plug USB device to your pc) but its failed..
is there any way to revive my phone?
Are you sure its dead. Do you see the charging indicator light up whilst charging? The HOX has a history of dead display so it might be that.
