Desire restart after 15 minutes if intense use

I am not sure this is the place to post this but I certainly hope so.
I have researched the matter a little before posting.
I got my Desire from a friend. He has been using it for over a year.
Seems he didn't modify anything and it still has the original system but am not sure. If someone can tell me where to find this info...
If I leave the phone on without using it it stays on but if I use it, like browsing or gps or any other program, even just downloading stuff from MArket, the phone restarts after 15 minutes and if I don't take out the battery for a few minutes it loops restarts.
Once the battery is removed for a few minutes the phone restarts normally.
from what I read it may be a problem with the board heating?
Is there a way to test that? to diagnose a phone?
Thanks for any help

Hey mate,
If you're running on a stock rom there's something wrong with the hardware. Unless you've got all the spare parts you can fix the phone yourself, otherwise it has to be repaired. Soz

How do I know if it is a stock Rom

-___- How do you not know if you've rooted the phone and flashed custom software?

You should ask your friend if he has bought the phone from a store or if he has rooted it before. Otherwise you have to hand it in to the repair centre

Generally you can tell by going to settings/about phone and looking at the software number and kernel version. If you see any strange names in these areas, like Nova-lite, Grim Reaper ver 1, etc, it is generally a modified rom.
Also, you can look in your apps for an app called Superuser. This is a sign of a rooted phone.
Additionally, if you power down the device, you should be able to boot into Recovery (if it is installed), by holding Vol- and Pwr. If you get into the boot, and select the "recovery" option, and you get a display with options like Install zip from SD, Wipes, Formats, etc, then this is a custom recovery.
My guess, would be, if the device is stock, Run an RUU Rom, and see if it will install a fresh OS. This may fix your issue. Corruption in the OS can definately cause the issue you describe.

The best sign should actually be to boot into bootloader (power off - HOLD volume down + power until white screen pops up) In the left upper corner it should say like:
"BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON". If it says "S-OFF" your phone has probably been rooted before

I'd bet money that most Rooted Bravo's are still S-On...not reliable.
OP, do you have the "Super User" or "SU" app installed? If yes your phone is rooted and likely running a custom ROM.

True true, back to S-ON is possible. If the phone has been rooted or not before can be hard. Anyone can tidy up a phone but I suggest he roots his phone, flashes gingerbread RUU and then try again. One moment, I'm going to find a link for you m8

Also, don't throw your money away, alpharev are one of the first bravo HBOOT flashers. This is taken from their site: [/QUOTE] HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.
The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security. Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.
AlphaRev has patched HBOOT images for several phones, whereas the HTC Desire (GSM) was our first victim. [/QUOTE]

Go to settings -> about phone and tell me what android version you have ( 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 ). I will give you a link as soon as the HTC developer site is back online. The tool I will get for you will flash your phone with Gingerbread (2.3) legit

NEVER do that, or you'll have to downgrade later.
I had similar problems with my stock desire, update fixed it. So it might not be hardware related. Try rooting and using a custom rom and see if it persists. If so, it ist hardware related and you'll have to send it in (unroot before), if not, it's software and you can just keep your custom rom.
And, before you ask, there are ca. 100 threads on what the best rom might be. Just try any one from the Desire Index (sticky in dev section).

As you said, it might not be hardware related but what does it matter? If the official update doesnt help and he has to root it, it won't matter since he's able to flash stock roms then...

He will certainly not brick it with the official update and it's a lot easier to skip the rooting part if you're not common with it
Sent from my HTC Desire

If you want to flash the official gingerbread rom from HTC click here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152 . This will surely NOT brick your phone. It's the latest official for desire too.

Sure it's not a particular app that's causing it? Also, perhaps underclock the CPU and see if that improves stability. If it's anything like desktop processors, they can degrade over time and cause instability (usually more noticable when the CPU is heavily overclocked, but it still happens regardless)

Ah well,i thought you meant unlocking the bootloader through the htc tool. For that is definitely not recommended. RUU should be no problem.
Btw, there is a reason for an edit function.

I agree with you about that. I would use unrevoked in that case

First Desire install and unlock

Hello,
yesterday i bought htc desire and tried to unlock. I update drivers and adb.
After i enter HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5 cmd display error 13a adbreadendpointsync returned error 31 and after that display that he found devices and done. I tried so many times but my phone display network locked.
What i have to do? To try on other computer? I am confused with a lot of tutorial about driver update...

I just used unrevoked done it very well

do you have link?
i have S-on and boot version 1.02
problem msy couse new bootloader?

firstly, what are you trying to achieve?
the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5 is to sim unlock the phone, so you can use it on any mobile network. follow the instructions and search in that thread, or ask there if you still can't work it out.
unrevoked tries to root the phone, which is entirely different and has nothing to do with sim unlock (although you could have just tried google to search for it yourself ...)

Possible S-OFF exploit within the next update?

As some of you may heard in the news, HTC is going to change its slogan from "quietly brilliant" to "bold, authentic and playful". My theory is that a future update will change the splash screen so the slogan on it to fit the devices look to the new marketing frame. Here is where the dev's and hackers can maybe start and search for an exploit. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least it's an idea since the progress in S-OFF development has literally stopped. Feel free to correct me

I won't .....
Edit :
And why is it that when an already s-off phone locks the bootloader it still says "relocked" what difference needs to be written to the phone to make it say locked. If we can't do that there is not much profit of a S-off device......in flashing and installing roms i mean.
Obtaining a "locked" bootloader would be the best, at least for warranty purposes !

Because the hboot.img needs editing, so the options are locked and locked, instead of relocked and locked. That's not difficult, don't think anyway.

Forgetting the warranty side it's handy to be able to download, install ROMs and nandroids all on the phone without requiring a pc to do fastboot commands + when a new firmware is out (like when jb was being rolled out) there is no waiting around for your cid to be supported. All minor but usefull. I'd still like to know if it's possible to get back to locked though.

Yeah getting it back to locked would be great. And you are right about the flashing stuff. Its just so that i got used to flash the phone with fastboot so much.....it would be strange to do it without
And where would i go as a helper on xda ? Flashing will be too easy, i could lose my job here

After the reboot my htc one M8 lost the room

I have problem with my HTC one M8, i was update my HTC to lollipop and lost my Wifi, in some forum i was recommended to install another room, but after doing that my phone restarts and remains in the logo of HTC, I can do?

Go to your recovery (if you have a custom one) and do a factory reset and reflash the rom

You lost wifi because you updated your ROM without updating your firmware. The only way another ROM will help is if it based on 4.4.4, or whatever firmware you are currently running.

"This build is for development purpose only..."

Hi all,
I just successfuly s-offed my HTC10 but on every reboot I have this very annoying red message:
"This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission ..."
Is there's a way to get rid of this?
Thanks!

It's nothing to be worried about.

In that case it should go away if you revert to stock and switch it back to S-ON or look here, but there is currently nothing you can do if you're on the latest WWE firmware as there hasn't been a custom aboot made for it.

This stupid, ugly error message is due to a non-stock kernel. As long as you're running a stock kernel, this shouldnt show up (atleast for me). I am currently running Viper10 2.7.0 and it doesnt show that message on startup. Now, if i go and flash elementalx kernel, that message will be displayed. The way to get rid of this is to either download a modified aboot image or modify it yourself via hex editor. There are simple instructions on how to do this for the htc m9, here on XDA. I dont have a link, but a quick search should be able to find it. Another thing you can do is download a modified aboot image from the link in the previous post and download the corresponding stock aboot image of the same version and use a program like "Beyond Compare" to load up both files and do a side by side comparison. It will show you exactly what was modified. Basically it comes down to just erasing the message in a hex editor and reflashing. Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION if choosing to do this. Aboot is a CRITICAL partiton which contains the bootloader. I would imagine if aboot gets flashed improperly or is hex edited incorrectly, the device is toast. Good luck!

Hi All,
I just S_OFFed with LOCKED bootloader my WWE HTC 10, converted to US Unlocked (cid: BS_US001 / mid: 2PS650000) and restored the latest firmware using ruu I downloaded from HTC US website. I also have that red message when I start my phone up. Is it okay when I'm using stock rom without root?

It does not bother me, I'm just curious whether is there US unlocked htc 10 that is not a dev phone? Like on cid BS_US001 I can't disable "Usage and error reporting" because it says " Notwithstanding the above statement, this is a test device and HTC's property. By using this device, you understand and agree...." blablabla. Is there other cid for US Unlocked (what cid US citizens have?) , but not dev/ HTC property one ??

Theres a app in your system called udove.apk. Delete that and that's the forced error reporting.

This happens when i flash custom kernel. Using both stock marshmallow and Nougat
My video even shows it.
