Does the bottom part of the mobo contain CPU? I know it has sim, sd microusb and the memory changes back to stock.

Yes, cpu is on the motherboard. Think its the square black chip. Cant remember exactly what it looks like as it was long time since i took one apart. The sim/sd part clips on to the motherboard from what i remember.

This should help you.

[Q] used sandpapper, does i still have warranty?

hey. i used sandpaper on my desire so it turned sliver.
but today i doped it with the changer in and the place where you insert the cable is edit up. my question is if i still have my warranty after i used sandpaper?
thanks in advance!
Unbelievable! never heard anything like this before. you can probably say goodbye to the warranty.I hope you at least happy with the way it looks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
your device is not in warranty...
what where you thinking while using sandpaper?
:S i don't know i was using sandpaper on the pink metal so it turned silver :S
Even if you didn't use the sandpaper, dropping the cellphone on the floor is not covered by warranty. Sandpapering it is just a bonus.
I don't want to be mean or anything, but if it's any consolation,you gave me a good laugh today.
EDIT : And yes, pictures or it DIDN'T happen.

i went to the store i bought it. he said that the problem was my foult so he wont repair it. and he said that the void is broken. don't know why but. so i went home and open my desire, and i took out all the part and the i found out that the place where is broken is the cpu. so i need to buy a new ****ing motherboard thats cost 500$ http://www.htcrepairparts.com/motherboard-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3231.html
so i don't think im going to fix my desire
As you can still access recovery, do you still have a copy of the rom that you flashes on the SDcard? If so, perform a wipe and reflash the rom...
However, if you're still using the stock rom then you have a problem!
You have learned a valuable lesson in why doing a backup before tweaks is important...
I hope you can get it sorted.

i can't ruu flash it, and it have boot loop. and i did do a backup but i can't enter recovery, watch the film i posted
Is your sdcard damaged? Check it in your PC.
If the card is fine maybe the sim and sdcard chip popped out of the motherboard, take a look inside the phone and pop it back in. It is possible for it to come loose when dropped.
Are you using a2sd? Might cause bootloop if sdcard cannot be mounted.

[Q][Urgent] Wildfire Died?

Well I rooted my htc wildfire and overclocked it.
Everything seemed to work fine for a few months
and then...
I got a text message, and I responded to it, but I did also see that my battery was almost empty, then after responding, I putted my phone in my pocket, Then like 15 minutes later, I looked at my phone and it didn't do anything anymore, so I thought, my battery ran out, nothing to worry about then I got home, plugged in my phone... led didn't turn on... phone didn't charge. I was like damn, maybe my battery died? So I went outside to someone who also has a Wildfire and asked if I could try his battery, We switched batteries and my phone still didn't work
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my phone doesn't respond to ANYTHING I've tried
These symptoms are a bad omen.
Does it pick anything up plugging it into a computer?

also @lcd poster
if it was my lcd, my led should still turn on when inserting the phone to a power connection
also I do also think it is something with my mainboard/cpu, i've read on the internet that i'm not the only one with a phone that just doesn't respond to anything anymore (wildfire) even others who hadn't rooted their phone got this issue, although they have garrantuee :s
sorry for my bad english
Anyhow its great u r not bricked bt if u have damaged CPU so do u have warranty/guarantee?

Rooted and overclocked, I don't think my warranty is still valid?
Yes your warranty is void. But, if you were on a Stock / Sense based ROM, you *may* be lucky and the service guys may not notice.

But maybe they won't start repairing it and give me just a new one, (since it's more expensive to repair the phone then to give me a new one i guess) and then they'll won't notice either?
also, if I do bring back my phone and they find out about it, will they charge me for the repairing costs? even if I don't want it to be repaired if it will cost me? (I already bought an iphone now, but sometimes i just want to experiment back with my android xd)
I really can't answer that mate. Policies vary widely across stores and nations. But, don't hold your breath for a new one, I think that case is extremely unlikely. I guess your best bet is to give them the phone, and have them contact yo regarding it's situation, repairs, and costs (if any) after their preliminary inspection / assessment. Only after their assessment, you give the go ahead to repair / replace (If free ).

HTC and Apple don't roll the same way.
Apple's products aren't even worth repairing, thus they don't bother doing that.
it might be an lcd problem this thing also happened to me...
I know quite a few friends of mine who had similar issues with other HTC devices and they just went to the shop and they were given new ones in a short time. usually guys at the customer service are ignorant and don't check for anything, even if in your situation it should be impossbile to know which rom you're mounting.
my advice is go there and have a brand new wildfire, nobody will discover it's without warranty
Mabye its static?
Once my brothers netbook had a static build up causing a problem i dunno if the same rules apply but try: take out battery -> hold power on for around 30secs, If that didnt work try getting into bootloader holding vol down and power on when your phones off
Hope my ideas worked and that your wildfires better
I have same problems
When i trying root my HTC device ... there are something wrong... so it can't boot after rooting.
I think that it was bricked.
How to unbrick HTC Wildfire? Pls, help me resolv this problem

Touch Screen Problem on HTC Desire Z

Hi All
For the last couple of months my desire has had an intermittent problem with the touch screen. All of a sudden it decides you're trying to pull down the "notifications" screen when you're just touching the touch screen, sometimes it also decides you're trying to hold and drag when you're just tapping the screen, sometimes it simply stops responding. These problems are usually solved by tapping the top button and putting the phone on standby then tapping it again and waking it up - although sometimes it then won't let you drag down the screen unlock until you repeat the on/off standby procedure a couple of times. The problem varies on connecting my phone to my computer.
Given that in between these instances the touch screen works as normal I'm guessing it shouldn't be a hardware issue, but the intervals between these problems appear to be getting shorter (either that or I'm just getting more annoyed by it recently). I've had a quick search of the forums and haven't immediately found anyone having this precise problem. Is it likely a question of trying factory reset and if that fails sending it for repair?
Thanks in advance
Similar issues. Don't think this is hardware.

I'm having same problem, mine started couple weeks after I installed cm7.2, I tried another rom, no luck
Its definitely not software. I've tried froyo, gb stock with s-on and no root. I've been on ics roms cm7 roms but this problem occurs on all. I'm giving mine for service today.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Well since the OP didn't respond here's my suggestions. If you think it's software then just flash to a stock rom. You should find a number of them lying around the forums, and instructions on how to flash. This will mean your phone is unrooted and will need to be rooted, as well as taking care of installing a recovery and etc. This should correct anything wrong with the software.
Otherwise you busted the digitizer, which is actually very cheap to buy on Ebay. You will have to take the phone apart which can be time consuming.

Hello Whiskey_Tango / Others,
Can you please let me know the details of the touchscreen component that you ordered for your G2? My HTC desire Z touch screen has also gone bad (unresponsive at multiple points) and I feel that changing the hardwre should do the trick.
If possible, let me know the touchscreen specs (model / part number) as well as any online website from where I can order it !
Many Thanks !!

Thanks for the quick response. Before coming here, I had a mobile service shop take a look at my handset and he had mentioned that for HTC desire z, the "touch screen" comes with the "display" attached to it. Did he meant the digitizer only or (digitzer + LCD screen) or he was simply trying to rip me off ?
I am very sure that there is nothing wrong with the display on my handset, its only the touch functionality that is not working properly.
Which one of the following do I need to search on EBay?
gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/digitizer-touchpad/desire-z.html
or gultek.eu/genuine-parts/lcd-modules/htc/desire-z-hd3.html
or both?
Thanks again in advance !!
You need just the digitizer, if you're doing it yourself it takes about an hour if you've never done it before, don't buy the lcd if you don't see a flaw in it.
Some people sell the whole front chasis with lcd, digitizer, front bezel all connected for ease of replacement. May be easier but you will only shave of 30min tops and spend 3x as much

yeah this happens to my G2 a lot. I got my phone fixed a while back (2-3 months ago) becuase the colors on my screen were screwed up and the ear piece was broken. i took it in and he replaced a couple of cables. it worked fine but now sometimes the screen is just having a straight up seizure. it flips through pages so fast and it goes from page 1-2 and back and forth and then the virtual keyboard presses multiple keys and just its crazy. i feel like the guy that fixed my phone didnt plug in a cable all the way. but yeah thats my problem. i dropped my phone the other day and ever since my phone hasn't gone into a seizure lol
Hi, did you solve your problem? I have the same with my desire Z. It click alone in several place on my screen.
And I ask me if the problem don't come from the lcd digitizer control instead of the touch screen digitizer

Yes replacing the digitizer did fix my problem. And a year later the replaced digitizer started giving problems. So I ordered 2 extra digitizers off ebay. Both of them turned out to be duds. Surprisingly the second digitizer(which I replaced a year ago) fixed itself.
I think Im having the same problem,
bottom part of screen (including the home, menu, back, search buttons) aren't functioning half the time,
is there any service manual, or link to information as to what I need to tear apart on my DZ?
should this be enough? EBAYLINK
what do I need to replace the digitizer?

When I was trying another tuch my phone also boot up normally, but had no response.
So I think a47hitman have similar case..
maybe its the wrong one so. i just assumed that if the phone boots n looks normal then something is faulty r not connected.
seen smth similar to this. its most probably a matter of connection cable. try cleaning the connectors.
