[Q] HTC Desire hard bricked or even dead - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i had my htc desire bravo for an over a year now, it was running mildwild 2.3.7 android. Today, the status bar was forced to shut down, so i wasn't comfortable using my phone, so i thought it would be a good idea to reboot it so i get my status bar back, but the power button wasn't working, so i pulled the battery out, after that i am not able to get any signs of life out of my HTC desire.. I can't turn it on, none of the buttons do anything, Volume down + power button doesn't even work to put me in a recovery mode. any suggestions?

Htc desire died :( please help

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.

HTC Desire HBOOT Issue

Hey guys, I'm new here - so Hi! *Waves*
I've searched and couldn't really see anything like my issue, so thought I'd post:
Having some weird issues with my HTC desire... earlier this morning I heard my phone randomly restart (was just sitting beside my bed) and for some reason it started in safe mode.
The power button wouldn't work so I could turn off / restart. So I removed the battery and put it back in, the phone went to the white screen with Hboot on it.
The Up / Down buttons do not work so I can't select anything, neither does the power button.
Everytime the phone boots up not it goes straight to hboot. I don't press anything, it just automatically starts when the battery is in and I can't do anything or even turn it off.
Now it has decided not to power back on - mainboard stuffed maybe?
Any ideas? :s

check whether you power/volume up/down buttons are stuck inside as if it is pressed.
Are you rooted and s-off? what did you do to your mobile before this issue?
is your SD card working properly? try to post the screenshot of your phone screen with that issue you are trying to explain
sounds like you none working up/down buttons are actuallly but stuck in the down position taking you to hboot on power up. need to free them

Hi i m having the same problems here with my desire dunno if its a bit late but
have you managed to fix your desire is not could you try some thing when it loads to HBoot try pressing all of the lower buttons on the desire (home menu track pad back and search) and see if you have any response because once doing this for a few seconds in a random order frantically pressing them my desire had response but would only move up the list? cheers

[Q]Cannot get past HTC One boot screen-cannot get into recovery

Hi,
I have recently installed a new ROM and then used a mod which doesn't seem to be compatible as now the phone is stuck in a loop. When the phone turns on, it comes up with the HTC-Quietly Brilliant screen then continues to the HTC One (with beats audio at the bottom) screen. It won't move past this. I have tried to get into recovery using the vol down+power button but it just repeats the above. I don't think there was a huge amount of battery (maybe around 40%) which I have read can be a problem.
What can I do to get the phone to boot? I currently have the phone on charge on the HTC One screen in an attempt to get it to work as I cannot do it when turned off however if I take the cable out, the red light stays on making me think it isn't actually charging. Any advice you guys can give would be great. I think if I can get into CWM I'll be ok
Cheers
press the volume down + power for 10 secs, and keep them pressed while it reboots untill you get to the hboot menu
Thanks. I was trying to do that but obviously let go before the 10 seconds. It did it once earlier on but couldn't replicate it. Many thanks-phone is now ok again
Cheers
Can't get past fastboot
ignore me
Try holding down volume down, then while holding it down, hold down the power button for 7 seconds until it turns off, it should then restart into hboot. I had to do it twice in a row to make it work.

HTC One X Screen Not Working

Hi Guys,
Recently my screen has stopped working. The screen remains black but I know the phone is still working because when I press the power button the menu buttons light up. I am able to fix the situation temporarily by doing a soft reset, holding down power button for 10 seconds, and screen will turn on, but later my phone screen stops working again.
BTW I am on Android Revolution HD 9.7.2
Do any of you guys know what I should do?
Thanks.

Sounds like an bad display...try to get it to service if u still have a warranty
I think it could be related to your custom rom. You should try a different rom or go back to stock rom before sending your hox to repair. If screen is booting up properly when you did a soft reset, it sounds more like a software problem for me than a hardware one.

[Q] Need help plz phone died

Hi there
I updated my phone to jellybean yesterday i am with tmobile uk , the phone worked fine after this everything seemed to install ok.
until a hour ago, i got a phone call answered it, then hung up, i put my phone in my pocket, next time i took it out the phone was locked on the boot page the white screen with htc logo on, i tried to power it off and the the 3 buttons on the bottom of phone started to flash white for 10 seconds then phone swithed off. the phone wont turn back on, it wont charge, tried usb to computer no lights nothing. the phone was fully charged when it switched off. my phones a standard one never touched bootloader etc
i spoke to htc they think its software problem, they say when i downloaded jellybean i used 3g not wifi (my fault) this could have caused the problem as there could of been a drop in signal they tell me.
the problem i have they want 210 pound to fix and they say its not under warranty as i have had the screen replaced, but not by htc voiding the warranty.
Can anyone here give me some advice or help to fix my phone please.
thanks

Can you enter the bootloader by holding the power button and the volume - button together, keep them pressed until it enters the bootloader.
