Hi all,
I desperate need help. After an unsuccessful radio flash, my Desire won't even turn on. No response from any buttons or lights. Here's how it happened:
I'm relatively new to Android. I recently bought a Desire, to replace my Touch HD, which has seen about 25 different WM ROMs, over it's life.
I successfully rooted my Desire and had tried a few ROMs. I was sitting on the MoDaCo Custom ROM r17, which was all customised and running perfectly. I'd even used ADB to successfully update my wifi config to connect to my company LEAP-authenticated network.
I decided to flash the latest radio (32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2), from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
I entered Recovery using 'Fake-Flash';
I started flashing the radio image;
All the good messages were scrolling down the screen;
I kept one eye on the phone while I worked on my laptop;
I saw a message saying something to the effect of "Finished installing radio..." (sorry, I don't remember the exact wording);
The blue recovery menu had returned, with 'reboot device' as the default selection;
As I clicked the trackball, I saw another message appear under the 'finished' messages, which said "Writing rad " I guess it didn't have time to print the whole message, when I selected reboot.
The screen went blank then a graphic appeared in the middle (where the recovery exclamation mark and triangle usually appear), of a software box with a curved yellow arrow over it and the android icon peeking out from behind it. I left it for a while (already had that sinking feeling) then pressed the power button. It switched off and stayed there.
Since then, nothing that I've tried has received any response. Various combination's of button pushes, USB connection, removed SIM, SD and battery...nothing, not even an LED.
I've searched and haven't been able to find any solutions to this particular situation. Can anyone help, or am I totally bricked?
Regards, PF.
The radio update does 2 reboots to install it. The software box with yellow arrow is the default graphic used by the fake flash recovery as far as I know so that wasn't any real problem.
I know this might sound silly, but is the battery charged?

No question is silly under this circumstance!
Yes. I'd just taken it off overnight charge. 100%. If I plug the USB cable in now, there is no response from the LED.
Leave the charger plugged into it for about 5 minutes and see if there is any response to it. With the usb bricks it would take nearly 5 mins to register and the led to light up.
I know this isn't a usb brick, but I've not seen anyone with a failed radio flash that has caused the phone to totally die to the extent that it won't even switch on.
I take it you have tried the usual power and volume button combos etc?
I suppose if there is no quick fix for this, the fact that it's totally dead may go in your favour if you try to get it repaired/replaced under warranty

ok. The charger has been plugged in for 35 minutes and still no response.
Also don't want to sound patronizing, but have you taken the battery out and turned on with the back button helld?
Ignore me, just reread your original post.
the procedure u said sounds rite, thats whats ment to happen, when you flash a radio, only other thing that comes to mind is, sure the radio u flashed was for the gsm desire?
so what youre saying is that your phone simply doesnt turn on, not for a second?
if you press the power button NOTHING happens?
are you sure your charger isnt broken?
have you tried charging it through your pc?
have you seen if its recognised through adb devices on your computer?
have you tried a new battery?
if your phone is simply dead, it must be a hardware problem, in which case you can probably send it off for repair and not have your warranty void as the whole phone will need to be replaced. they cant identify if you have voided your warranty if your device doesnt turn on.

Right first time. It won't turn on at all. It doesn't react in any way to any of the button combinations I'm aware of from rooting and flashing it. Nothing happens at all.
I live in an HTC household, so I've tried a number of chargers and cables, including the PC's USB port. I haven't tried another battery...but the incumbent battery was holdng a good charge and was 100% at the time. What's more, I remember that the phone can run on the charger without the battery.
Not surprisingly, adb devices shows no connected devices.
I think everyone is right, it's back to HTC. I *hope* you're right that they cover it under warranty. I'm going on the weekend, so I'll let you all know the result.
Thanks to all for your help.
I think you can try to remove battery, leave the phone with no battery for 30 minutes and then try to insert battery and connect to usb without power it on to check if LED (and than the phone) is revived.
I had an Acer Liquid that gave me same problem, pratically when a flash on the radio go wrong, the device go in "protection mode". You must also check on the net if there is a protection mode on Desire too, and if there is a button combination to unlock it. I repeat: i just giving an idea becouse the same problem happened for me on an Acer Liquid, so i'm not sure if it's the same for the Desire.
Good Luck
Maybe a usb brick? No usb is no charging. So when you didn't had a full battery, it may be went wrong on that.
Try another battery, if you can get to one.

In the usb brick situation you can still charge. This isn't it!

Ok i didn't know that.
If the phone doesn't turn on at all, you can maybe try sending it back to the shop for replacement. Chances are, they won't be able to know what happened, so you can pretend it just stopped working.
If it gets back to HTC, they probably won't bother to figure out what's wrong with the phone and just give you a replacement. Otherwise, they'll just send you the phone back and you won't have lost much (maybe postage costs?).

Thanks for the suggestion. I left the battery out overnight. Then tried to activate it (all the usual button combos) with:
Battery out, USB cable plugged in;
Battery in, USB unplugged;
Battery in, USB in.
I scoured the 'net for anything on protection mode for the Desire...no luck. If there is one, it hasn't been posted yet.
I would just act stupid and try to return it under warranty!
I think it should be ok to RMA this, if its completely bricked there is no way of them knowing that you tried a different radio.

Yes, if it's totally bricked then just send it back to HTC and they will change it with no problems just same as acer done with my Liquid
All's well that ends well
Good news...
The HTC service centre were kind enough to replace my 'faulty' handset.
Re-flashed with r19 and radio updated (patiently) successfully.
Thanks all for your support.
Nice one. Glad it worked out for you
Hey guys,
I’ve got a problem with my xperia play - it won’t boot anymore.
I bought a cheap battery from china and after replacing the original one with the fake one the phone wouldn’t boot anymore.
I’ve tried to charge my phone (with the original battery) overnight but it didn’t help.
While charging the red light keeps blinking in a 4 seconds interval but apart from that nothing happens.
I’ve also tried to start the phone without the battery with the usb cable plugged in,but it didn’t help.
Furthermore charging it via a usb cable over the computer didn’t help and the red light just kept blinking in the 4 seconds interval.
And of course I can’t boot in recovery mode/fastboot mode,and the phone doesn't vibrate at the start of the boot progress ,either. I’ve also already tried the ‘’freezer trick’’ (to put the battery in the freezer for a few hours)but as you’ve probably guessed that ‘’trick’’ didn’t help me at all.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
over 77 views and still no answer.
can anybody help me please.
i would even donate some money if it would help my phone to boot.
thank you in advance.

Clicked thanks instead of quote ignore that, it sounds like a battery issue and probably has nothing to do with the fake battery, if you do a search around the internet it goes on about the battery being dead, why not try plugging the phone into the wall outlet letting it charge a bit, removing the plug after a while and keep doing it, might kick start the battery to charge again.
Another thing you could do is take it to a local sony centre and try out an official battery, if it still doesnt work send the phone to sony, it might be a hardware issue, and if you've bought it in the past year you are still in warranty, don't worry if you've done any mods to it, they check the hardware, usually erase the software and revert to stock
Ok,thanks for your help.
I'll try charging the phone overnight from the wall outlet and I gonna reply tomorrow.
Regards
hi,
unfortunately it still doesn't work.any other suggestions?
Try my last suggestion
i.e. Sony original battery or send it for repair
I've seen this problem mentioned before, but no good fixes.
My phone won't charge while on, but will when off. Charging has always been a little buggy, but now seems stuck this way.
The problem seems to keep my phone from connecting to the computer - neither the mac android download program will recognize the phone, nor will it charge off the computer, nor will the wugfresh tool see it when plugged into my PC.
I rooted/unlocked using the wugfresh tool (kept the stock ROM) and figure I need to warranty replace the phone - but because the computer won't recognize it, I don't know how to un-root/re-lock it.
Question - 1. anybody know how to fix my usb charging/recognition problem? 2. assuming not, is there a way to un-root/re-lock the phone without needing to plug the phone into a computer?
Thanks very much!
Does it charge with the phone on from AC? And when it's plugged up to your mac, does it have the thing in the notification bar saying its connected?
It's possible you have a bad cable, just to eliminate the easy fix first. It should charge fine with any mini USB charger.
If you can get it to charge from AC, I'd try a different computer if possible or if not maybe a re-install of the drivers.
Next, as maybe a last ditch effort, it's possible the ROM got corrupted, though I'm not sure how likely that would be. I'm sure you can get the stock ROM to flash in Clockworkmod but the only way to re-lock the bootloader that I know of requires a PC.
Maybe someone else can chime in weather or not Samsung actually cares if you're unlocked when it comes to a warranty for a hardware problem. Also, what carrier do you have? They may just give you a new phone themselves and again, maybe someone can tell you if they actually look at whether you've modded your phone.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, when it's hooked up to an AC adapter and the phone is ON, I get no charging. When the phone is on and hooked up to a computer (both PC and mac), I get no charging. No upper right hand corner battery indicator change.
In fact, when the phone is off and hooked up to AC power, it seems to be hit-and-miss as to whether or not it actually charges.
Plugged into a computer, I get nothing - it doesn't register a device is attached at all.
I think that's a great question - if you return an un-locked phone, do they definitely get mad at you? I wonder if that's been asked in the forums before...maybe I'll make a different thread?
Also, from clockworkmod, how can I flash the original rom, as you suggested?
I've already factory re-set the phone and even flashed a different ROM just to see what would happen - and it didn't fix the charging issue.

I literally had this exact issue over the weekend where it would charge when powered off but then the USB would completely die when the phone was turned on. All after using my incar charger. It seems the port inside the phone got bent so that the board inside was almost touching the bottom of the phone. If held flat on your palm...
I fixed it by bending the board back up with a knife so its dead in the middle of the port. No problems charging now.
this exact problem has been an issue for me as well, contacted Samsung and told them i bought it second hand and they issued a rma and sent me a ups label t send it in. This is my first phone that broke before I even had a chance to root it. I was pissed at Htc so decided to try something new. Going back to my T-Bolt for a while now.
My phone charges sometimes, others it doesnt. Sometimes the "Nintendo blow" works, other times it requires force. Eventually I can always get it to charge, but it can take a half hour of playing with it. I have multiple cables, original Samsung batteries, and lots of experience inside phones, and have never had an issue that I couldnt FULLY determine was hardware or software. Samsung claims they have never seen this issue. lol. Obviously they dont visit the forums

great idea - i was using my car charger this weekend. i'll give it a shot.
update - i bent the little board up off the bottom, and now i can't fit the charger in it. uhoh.
This is becoming a bigger and bigger issue. Please star and/or comment on this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23789
I sent my galaxy to Samsung 2 weeks ago, it is due to arrive back today. They paid postage each way and the invoice says they replaced a component (no detail) and updated software and prl. I was already on the current release so not sure what to expect. But it is good to know they are taking care of us.
Hello!
My phone suddenly stopped charging... and now it is dead... now... like every 3 or 5 minutes, it vibrates by itself, even if unplugged... Anyone heard of this issue?
More info in my last post:
I'm unlocked, rooted, xposed, installed Beanstalk ROM, etc... But I did that months ago (I don't know, 6 months ago?) and it has been working flaglessly, I didnt do ANY change prior to this problem (really, no changes, not even a new appp installed or removed in months)
So I really think it is something in the usb charger.... Maybe I'm wrong and it got bricked somehow... please validate that.
Also, it still vibrating at least once every five minutes. (I woke up all night with it vibrating and now it is on my desk and it still does it)
I just tried an adb wait-for-devices and nothing happens, also tried to reboot it the same way and nothing happens.
Now, I remember that I did something before the phone turned off (battery ran off) I deactivated an Xposed module (latalysm or somethign like that) and didn't reboot it to complete the deactivation. Maybe it has something to do with 0% battery and that?
I really don't think so... But your advice is really welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Did you rooted or unlocked?

New data:
When I pluggin the phone to the PC, the PC plays the "hardware detection sound" but then it disconnects too. Maybe it has something to do with the battery or something related?
Thank you in advance, phone is still dead.

Well... my phone is now even more dead... I think the problem is the battery, even if I try to charge it doesn't even get warm, I replaced the usb piece of the phone expecting that it was something with that but no... Now I'm waiting to get a replacement battery.
Anyone heard of the same issue? I've found many people having the same issue, but most of them solved the problem unplugging the battery and then plugging it back again.
Please help!

Small update: I've tried 4 different chargers and god knows how many different cables, tried connecting it to the PC, nothing seems to help.

Yes I tried that 2 months ago... But yesterday... I arrived home and tried to charge again, waited about 2 hours, turned it in and pop... I have the phone again (I keep losing phone and data signal, but... come on, it is on now)... So I don't know... I heard many times that pluging in and off the battery and "waiting" seemed to work for a lot of people, but come on... 2 months?

That is a lot... I waited 2 months... sorry I don't know anything about the matter... but don't lose faith, maybe it will turn on again someday.... Advice, charge it and leave it charging for... a week? then try again.
I've decided to fiddle with a needle inside the USB charging port recently. After that my phone suddenly was recognised by the computer and started charging and working. After I connect it to the real charger, doesn't matter if it's original or not, it stops working and doesn't even charge from the PC. Then I have to fiddle inside the charging port and everything works again... wtf really? what can be dead?

I'm not so sure... It sound's more like I'm either grounding some contacts or I'm somehow short circuiting something. Maybe it could be a broken capacitor or something? That would explain why your phone started working after 2 month.
Well in any case it would be interesting íf somebody with that issue would try touching the contacts in the USB port with metal needle and connect the phone to the PC.
I've ordered a new USB thingy already and going to swap it soon, I'll keep you updated.
I have try to change the battery and the usb port. The battery work one time but won't charge. Can't say if it is the same issue or because is is a cheap battery
Any news NiKiToS?
hi.
here is the sequence of events that happened.
1) i flashed the stock firmware of zuk z2 plus INDIAN version 6.0, using QFIL.
2) Intending to RElock the bootloader i Went on to flash the 7.0 Stock firmware using Qfil. (Not to mention ive done these a 1000 times)
3) just when it was amidst the flashing process, because of a slight shake, the cable got loose and disconected.
4) i got the Download Failed Message in the qfil Flasher, and i found the phone WASNT detected anymore in the QFIL app!!
5) i cant get it to fastboot, cannot boot it up, cannot get it switched on or off, which is pretty sensible considering there is no OS.
6) basically trying to update from, 6.0 to 7.0 , USING QFIL has been my mistake.
Now, The things ive tried:-
1) tying to connnect the phone to edl mode using the volume and power buttons,
2) tried connecting to charger for any different sign.
3) All that the phone responds is a VIBRATION, no lights no nothing!!!
i googled up, what to do when phone disconnects amidst the flashing process.
any signs of hope.. of getting it into the edl mode, is my only optiion.
i cant boot the phone up obviously, EDL mode is my only go.
if i connect it to the pc...no sign of any connections have been detected.!
What to Do.
Please help.

Try Deep flash cable method if nothing works
zukfans.eu/community/threads/deep-flash-revive-your-zuk-z2-from-hard-brick-state-9008-mode-easily.3504/
Did you try holding volume UP and DOWN button and connecting the USB cable at the same time, it always got me into fastboot, you can then use adb to boot into EDL mode
i could! but i cannot???

ive tried every possible combination of the buttons to try to get the phone to edl mode, fastboot mode.
none of which seem to work.
my motto offlate has been to just switch off the device . idk y but it keeps vibrating every 20 seconds. but with no sign of lights or screen logo.?
if i get it off, i can try going to edl mode as u had suggested
Few weeks ago I did this same mistake while I'm was flashing. Helpful for me was this edl cable. Now everything working again.

Same Mistake in the sense...did your phone dissconect while flashing the firmware using QFIL???
IF so then How did you switch the phone off?
I had mentioned that my phone neither switched off nor turned on, n it was vibrating at 30 second intervals....was it the same case with you ?
if so, cud you pleaase be more elaborate with your procedure to revive it
Dudu just slight cut the cable and then using needle pass the needle through balck and green wore and the attach cable to the dead phone. Detection happens

I did this on original cable, but probably anything will be good.
just use deep flash method. Same thing happened with me, I literally died that day because my phone was barely a month old. Buy a cheap type c cable and please intersect correctly and don't worry if 2-3 copper wires get cut. or if you have micro USB cable buy a micro USB to type c connector.

Actually thers more to the issue ....while trying to get the phone off completely, in an attempt to remove the back plate usiing a blade..i cut off the side keys cable..which comes just below the camera module.
now im having a hard time finding the side keys flex cable for zuk z2 plus.....its thr on aliexpress ...tells tht shipping wud take 7 days...and the price comes around 500 INR......honestly at this point, i dont really care about the money....i just want the cable fixed so tht i can proceed with the edl flashing.
its been a week since this has happend n i really dont know how my phone wud hold up once done with the replacement.

Actually thers more to the issue ....while trying to get the phone off completely, in an attempt to remove the back plate usiing a blade..i cut off the side keys cable..which comes just below the camera module.

Whoa dude, you shouldn't have done that. There was no need to disassemble and even if you did you should have watched some disassembly videos or guides for the device. I personally haven't disassembled it yet but after seeing the disassembly video, I think the wire that you have cut off will cost you a whole frame replacement if you go to the shop. Here's the link to the flex cable you'll need-

You'll have to disassemble whole mobile or if you're planning to get it done from someone else.
