Whilst attempting to flash the WWE 1.93 ROM my diamond lost connectivity at 87% of the way - consequently I performed a soft reset which seemed to turn the device off.
The phone now won't switch back on - both a soft / hard reset fail to coerce any life back into it.
Curiously the LED which illuminates the centre button and normally glows when charging now doesn't light up - even when the Diamond's plugged into a power socket.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried taking the battery out for a few minutes?
I have, to no avail unfortunately.
Is it possible that whilst the device is being flashed the diamond is instructed not to charge via usb and that it has retained that setting which would explain why it's not charging now?
And that my battery is flat, which could potentially be what caused the failed flash in the first place and is the cause of the device's current failure to switch on. So potentially all this would be fixed by simply inserting a charged battery?
Or is that just foolishly optimistic?
Have you managed to get your device back to life?
Mine had to soft reset and after this it didn't do anything. No boot, nor do I see the icon blink when I connect it to a charger.
Afraid not.
In the end I ended up sending it to the warranty centre - it arrived there yesterday and apparently their engineer has yet to determine liability (whether it's human error or claimable under warranty).
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the quick response. I will let my Diamond alone without the battery for one day to see if it will wake up. Otherwise I'll send my device back for warranty as well.
Wont Turn On
My Diamond will not turn on either. Nothing destructive was done to the phone. I installed a brand new charged battery and that didn't solve the problem. Hitting reset does nothing also..... I'm stumped..
I've returned my device under warranty. They've replaced the main board of the device, had no problem since.
if you have not any warranty yet and you want to fixed the device? what other solution remains? because i have also try to update my htc touch diamond rom and before the 0% start my device turn off and from that time is dead !! any solution is acceptable . thanks
I would in this order
softreset
hardreset
try another battery in the device
try the battery in another device
write it off as being defect hardware
....
if u connect usb and enter into bootloader?
my htc is dead
i can't do the following with the device switch off , if i connect the device with the pc, nothings happened, neither the cycling light that do on charging mode.

Same problem with my brother's phone. One day it stopped tuning on or charging without any particular reason. I ordered a new battery and tried with that but same thing. No charging. Only once after a leaving the original battery out of the phone for a few minutes when I reconnected it and tried to charge it lit the charging button for a couple of times and then off again and from then on it has never done that not even once.

Hi, I have been using my HTC diamond toch for nearly 2 1/2 months. a few days ago, i did a rom update using Dutty's rom update. All went fine duing the update. used the phone for about 5 days nonstop, no issues at all.
But yesterday all of a sudden the phone has swtiched off by itself, now it doesn't switch on. Thought the battery might be dead so i tried charging but the enter buttton area doesnt glow and there is no sign of charging.
I switched batteries with a friend to see whether it was faulty but it is in good condition.
What do u think the issue will be ?
Thanks
Buddhi.
I have the same problem. I've just got my phone back from being repaired as the touch screen got all messed up and now it won't charge. I plug it in and the touch pad does the charge animation twice then stops. It'll randomly try to turn on but it doesn't even get to the point where the red writing apears before it turns off again.
Help?!
same problem here
Dudes.... Chill!!!!
Here's what you can all try ....
First you guys need to know that de HTC does not charge if the rom is inconplete/damaged .
And.....
If your batery is realy dead there is no initial power on the internal battery to manage the chargement.
So ... resolution.
Fist way .
If you know any one that may have an other HTC Diamond you need to swamp batteries so the good Diamond that has the internal bat ok and charge it there.
Second way . this one i did it my self .
Go to a Local ChinaMan store and buy a multimeter and a regular Universal Adapter.
Heres how it hoes ...
Use the Multimeter do figure out the polarity pin's on the battery ex: + and - .
remove / cut one of the plug's from the Universal transformer and also tag the polarity.
set the voltage to be close to 5 V - 1 Amp .
Can be 4,5v or 5.5v no sweat
Conect the cuted wire from the Univ. Adapter to the Diamond Battery respecting the polarity.
Leave it for a wile..... ( Probably up to 1 hour but chec from time to time tme battery temperature and if possible a reading on the bat voltage levels.)
Done!
Put the battery bat and boot your diamond or turn on to boot loader.
**** Attention if you don't have more than 50% of the bat charge compleated you wont be able to flash your phone****
Any questions Just reply back.
same problem...
its just...my battery was full before the upgrading...i was Unlocking my Diamond..and the upgrade didnt move more than 0% just when i looked on my mobile...there was black screnn...pluged it out..tried to power on..nothing..tried to charge...nothing again..i tried hard reset(vol down+power+back+reset)..it just wont turn on..please help me..im in panic
Help, I have the same problem and my battery was fully charged before this happened. Voltage reading is 4.2V on the battery.
I also tested the power button and there is nothing wrong with it, it conducts when pushed.
Usually pluging in the charger should start it up, but it will not start.
Anyone have any solutions?
I couldn't fix mine so phones 4 u replaced it with a touch hd

I had the same exact problem two days ago.The phone was not charging while it was on,and when it was off it did that charging light animation twice and then third time the litght managed to get in the middle of the button and sudennly stopped. So here is my solution . I'v managed to charge the battery on another phone and turned my Diamond back on. While still attached to charger and power source i'v performed a soft reset (by pressing the reset button beneath the stilus) ...the phone reseted and now it's all ok.

I had same problem , no solution yet.
When I had a Mpx220 I had fixed changing a fuse, but I can´t see nothing in internet guides or foruns.
If someone knows how to repair tell us, becouse htc service in our country isn´t good and my device is outdate warranty.

Someone has fixed?
I have the same problem but on my samsung corby GT-i5500. I installed the clockworkmod on my mobile by rom manager and rebooted in recovery, I think i've installed a wrong version and now it does not turn on at all! what should I do? my parents will kill me if they discover that ive broke my phone
Ok.I seem to be having a problem that is relatively common. My Xperia battery died and wouldnt charge.
Getting the constant red light on power button when charging.
I read other peoples experiences on various forums and tried both hard and soft resets. Tried holding the volume down and power button. Tried taking the battery in and out whilst charging multiple times.
Nothing worked
Phoned vodafone and got them to send a new battery out & the exact same thing happens with that. Nothing
So on reading there isnt enough voltage through the fone to charge i bought a wall charger that the battery sits in on ebay. which has a 4.2v or 8.4v output.
It has went green indicating the battery is now charged. Yet the phone will still not turn on, enter bootmode or hard reset
I can send it back to Voda for repair but i would lose all my photos & numbers. I know its not completely dead as when i plug it into the pc via usb even though it doesnt turn the handset on widows does agknowledge that something has been plugged in
HELP PLEASE !!!!!
if your battery power lvl is too low ur xperia wont start just let it charge for 5-10 min and try again
Hello,
There is someone else here who posted about this problem about two days ago, maybe you could find his thread and see if he solved his problem.
I had some problems with my phone going dead aswell. Now I have a custom ROM and it does not happen anymore...but you will loose all your data with that method aswell (oh and your phone needs to be able to go too bootscreen in order to flash a ROM)
Good luck!
Hi guys..
I have had my Tilt now for about 2months and recently tried downloading a 200Meg file off the web with it. It drained the power even though the charger was plugged in and so I was clever enough to fool around with chargers...Bleh.. Anyway, so what had happened is that after me switching the phone off etc. I tried charging again without downloading and when I plug the charger in, NOTHING happens..the green light flashes like normal, no light changes and no blips or notifications come up or anything. If I switch the phone off and then plug the charger in, the red light appears and stays there (and I presume it charges). So now I can´t find a fix..Seen MANY other threads regarding similar problems but 90% result in getting a replacement from the supplier which is not possible for me since I don't work off contract and neither is the warranty still valid and neither do I live even NEAR a HTC dealer. I've tried soft resets, hard resets, restarting phone with charger and battery in, without battery in etcetc. The battery is fine.
So it seems my last resort would be opening up the phone and looking if by luck I can see or measure something. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated

I have same problem, My HTC only charge when power off, No active sync... but i could up rom because in bootloader 3.56 only show USB without serieal . Yesterday i uprom ship end restore SPL. Then my HTC Kaiser can't uprom. It only sirieal when conect USB.
I think it cause by software without hardware. So everyone help us...help me too
Yeah, mine doens't get recognised by my computer at all. Which means no backups or syncs somehow I think my friend's broken TYTN II is gonna come in handy...hmm....
And just for more info, I am as I'm speaking, charging my phone (with it being off) and the red light has been on around an hour long.. Gonna see if it goes off or changes.. Will report back once something happens
Brian
Edit: I just switched my phone on (after around 2 hours charging with it being shut down) even though the light was still red, battery is now 100%.. so.. I'm now downloading the next 200meg file and another 39 files to go
Update: Just something weird.. The tilt was charging(in its shut down mode) and then suddenly switched on by itself.............. uhm..yeah.. so once it came on, i looked and everything was still the same.. pulled out the charger, switched off, put charger back in(cause the battery was about 30%) and boom, green light and switches on again bleh.. so now I fiddled with the battery and charger, and got it to charge in its off state again with the red LED.

You can try it, follow step in the link, then re tell to me!
every oen, who can help us?!
hey, I took a look there and I tried those things but it didn't work. Apparently there is no "Safe mode" for these phones unless you have a third-party software. So just to confirm, I took a look through the user manual and found nothing, Googled "HTC TyTN II Safe Mode" and found random stuff but not much related besides third-party Apps. So then I just tried randomly fooling around with my TyTN II by holding and pressing random sets of keys while pressing the soft reset button. No luck.

Device: HTC One (M7) Stock ROM
A few days ago, my never rooted, stock firmware, no unlocked boot loader, no custom ROM, never dropped HTC One (M7)'s battery died. Plugging in the charger had no effect, absolutely NOTHING. Tried 6 different cables and 9 different locations to charge it, nothing. Waited a while, dying in desperation. Then after so much of panic, I plugged it again, and randomly it started charging. But the charging had a loop - showed a bright orange LED with the power symbol on a battery for about 5 seconds, then a dim orange LED with the green battery charging, and a number, for about 10 seconds. The loop kept repeating. Eventually I could turn it on till the (incredibly low capacity) battery could live. So I did about 10 resets to it, and the situation would not improve.
Since my phone just decided to do this to me just before a long journey of mine, I was quite upset, and eventually infuriated to the limits. I decided to take it along and try different things to it - tried, tried, cleaned the ports, searched the net, nothing.
One fine day it decided to break the loop - now it charged, but only when off.
And today again its started the loop.
And here I am, begging for some help. I'm starting to hate this device now. Please help me.. :crying:
P.S. : I played a lot of Clash of Clans on the phone - it heated up a lot. Hope the info helps (Possible corrupted overheating charge instructions of the phone,etc.)
please help i love this phone cant lose this at all

I am having the same exact problem right now. its very annoying. I have to drain the whole battery to charge it again. and its in that loop that you mentioned. plus it does not charge when you put it on charge when its on. it doesnt even have that charging light. it only charges itself if its off and if there is no battery left, i have to put it on charge by draining the whole battery by using apps and stuff and i am so pissed right now i cant find a solution to this. Did you find a solution on how to get this fixed?
I am currently having a similar problem where I can only charge my phone if off. Hopefully someone can help!

I have found a solution to this. I am really happy since i am able to use my phone again.
Let me state what exactly i was going through.
I had to use the phone till it actually turned off completely consuming the whole battery and it was very frustrating because i had to deliberately use the phone till the phone shuts down and charge it. And once it started charging, it has a weird stupid way of charging. It shows that its charging and it goes off, comes back on and shows its charging, then it goes off... When it goes off the red light goes away...then comes back on.
I've read other threads and forums about people having the same issue. Others say they're not even able to connect their phones to the computer. You all should try connecting your phone to a computer and check if its able to transfer data.
If that happens, then you're saved. Because this really worked out for me.
Now, i'm not really sure what kind of bug this is, but here's how you fix this.
If you're able to transfer data to your phone, you must browse your phone on the computer and copy a file (or a couple of files - in my case i transferred a movie folder that had a couple files in it)
And guess what..i put it on charge and started charging like normal oh my god i was happy as hell
Thanks. I hope the same works for you all, people have been saying you have to clean the charging port but not really

I'm not sure how are you NOT able to get it connected to your computer. Since i connected it to the computer, it didn't start charging but it allowed me to transfer files. And so i did. You might wanna change the cable and check if its letting you connect to your PC.
So far its working perfectly alright. I don't have a problem as such. And wait, you could install a file manager and move a couple files around. Maybe delete some files or download some files and try.
I Hope it works for everyone who's getting this problem. I know its not a hardware problem and HTC support sucks BIG time. i don't even have htc headquarters so i couldn't get it replaced, bad. but if your phone is under warranty you must get it replaced :laugh:

Hi! so you are saying that if i move some files from the computer to the phone it might get fixed? Well, i cant plug it to the computer, it just doesnt recognize the phone, if i plug it when the phone is on the pc doesnt show anything and the phone doesnt charge or anything, just like when trying to charge it with the ac charger, if i plug it with to the pc with the phone off then it shows a message that doesnt recognize the device, and the phone doesnt even charge aswell...
Right now the only fix i have found is to solve the problem of having to drain the battery in order to charge the phone, now i fixed it unticking the fastboot option in energy, now i can charge with any % but the phone must be off. Btw it gets a lot of heat while charging it this way... idk if its normal, i heard that because the aliminium case it gets more heat than normal plastic cases.
Thanks for your reply, ill try to connect the phone to the pc a few more times.
Hello guys , , I have the same problem , charging the M7 (On stock rom), I have tried many things ,roms and kernels , currently I managed to make it charge with the screen on with some conditions..
I installed SLIM ROM from their site (4.4.4) . To charge the phone with screen on I have to check "screen on while charging" (because if the screen goes off it stops charging /same thing if somebody is calling me )
To Charge my phone I just need to Reboot normally and charge it ( if you install this rom Activate the sound for the ac plug/unplug so you can know if it is charging well or not )
Eaven if i have to do these things its better then the OFF mode .
Hope It helps .
HTC M7 Only charges when it's off and the laptop can't recognize the device.
Hello, I've had this HTC M7 since last year. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago.
The phone will not charge when it's on. It only charges when it's off. Also, my laptop won't recognize the device. I've tried with a couple different AC chargers, but no luck.
Sometimes my phone says "CAN'T CHARGE WHILE IN USB HOST MODE," and I don't know how to take it out of USB Host mode? I'm guessing this is a problem with the software. Before this happened the phone worked flawlessly.
Any help, please??!!

It can sometimes be caused by a defective usb port on the phone, does your port looks damaged? Boot your phone in safe mode and check if its doing the same thing.
I've already done that and it doesn't work.
I really don't know what the issue is? I mean this is a perfectly working unlocked HTC M7.
I've turned if off multiple times and even wiped it clean twice. I don't know what else it could be.
I mean it's been working perfectly since I got it.
But as I mentioned earlier it will only charge while the phone is off. And my laptop can't recognized it either.
It only appears and "Unknown Device."
But even when it is off it charges for a bit and then it completely stops.
Then you see the battery logo and then it starts charging again. But it repeat that same process throughout the whole time. So, it can never reach to 100%.
As I've mentioned before I've never really had this problem.
I've been looking for hours on the internet and so far nothing seems to work. There was an app I saw on to access engineer mode or something, but for some reason I can't use that app because it says that I'm missing another application.
Any thoughts??

I have the same problem, it can't charge, PC don't recognize when the phone is on android, but when i boot into recovery everything work fine (charge or data move to PC), so far i could't find any way better.
Hi,
had same problem.
Clearing system cache helped in my case.
Related cause for the trouble seem to be a couple of OTA upgrades I did recently.
(I was on a pretty old version.)
I noticed that there was something wrong while upgrading.
Even though the phone was connected to the charger while the whole upgrade process,
battery level went down...
The following procedure is your own risk!
Be careful not to choose any options that wipe all your data or factory reset your device.
This is how I cleared the system cache :
Boot into recovery (hold both volume-down and power buttons for ~30 seconds until menu shows - )
Press volume-down to choose RECOVERY and press power button.
Be patient ~60 seconds until menu appears.
Choose wipe cache partition and press power button.
Choose reboot system and press power button.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks

My Xperia Z will not boot; the red LED flashes three times when I attempt to turn it on. I have tried resetting using the power button and volume up (most of the time it does not produce a response, but if it is plugged into my computer it will, where the LED will only turn off for maybe two seconds before coming back on), I have tried unplugging the battery (I have done this multiple times and on two occasions left it unplugged for over a week), I have tried flashing multiple different firmwares through Flashtool (they flash successfully but the phone still does not boot) and I have tried charging it for days and even a week one time with different chargers, but it still refuses to turn on.
This issue first occurred after I replaced the antenna flex cable and the buttons/microphone flex cable due to accidentally breaking them whilst replacing the LCD. I think this issue may have started because the battery was only on 7% when I disconnected it to replace the two parts, but I fail to see how this would discharge the battery so much? I am willing to purchase another battery if I can be certain that it will fix this issue.
Unlike some on this forum in other threads I have read through, the Sony logo does not come up at all, the screen is black the entire time. Also, when plugged into my Windows 8.1 laptop the computer tries to install drivers and says that it does not recognize the device "USB device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". When now attempting to put into flashmode connecting it to a USB 2.0 port the phone does not respond for five seconds, then the LED flashes green then red immediately after, before the LED goes off again, then the firmware is flashed (successfully). Attempting to put the phone into flashmode when connected to a USB 3.0 port will only result in the LED turning red.
Thanks for your time, this is really frustrating me, and any help would be greatly appreciated
Help please, anyone?
Sometime i wake up and my phone is turned off , when i try to turn it on it flashes 3 red lights , charging would make it turn on , so 3 red flashes is from battery and since you can successfully flash frimware than it is not bootloader problem , it is either battery or something else is destroyed inside your phone , first try another ftf

Thanks, I have tried two alternate ftf files with no luck, but I will try a third and see how that goes Yeah, it's okay if the current battery is faulty and buying a new one that will fix the problem, but I don't want to waste money if that isn't the problem
Do you have 12v car charger. Try to charge with it. Helped to wake up my phone last week after too much drain to the battery
My phone was not entering flashmode just before when I was trying to flash a different ftf file, so I wondered what would happen if I disconnected the battery, and then tried it. I first just connected the phone without the battery and got a solid blue light from the LED. Then when I tried entering flashmode without the battery connected it worked! So since I can successfully flash ftf files without the battery connected I'm assuming the issue is the battery, or could it possibly be the part of the motherboard which the battery connects to like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/hardware-fix-xperia-z-charging-booting-t2760911 ?

Do you have 12v car charger. Try to charge with it. Helped to wake up my phone last week after too much drain to the battery

I do have one somewhere, but I think it's broken The issue must be related to the battery or battery connection now, so I need to figure out which of the two it is before I take any further steps to fix it?
So I ordered a replacement battery and when first connected the phone would not turn on. After charging for a little while the LED went red, and the phone now vibrates when I attempt to turn it on and also when I try to reset it. So the vibrations feel correct (it vibrates once when turning on, once when volume up and power have been held for five seconds, and three times when volume up and power for ten or so seconds), but it still refuses to boot. I have tried three different chargers for extended periods of time, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery multiple times and have flashed a different .ftf file, but all to no luck. My Windows 8.1 laptop computer still says that the USB device is not recognised and nothing seems to be progressing
Is there anything more that I can do from here to try to fix it? Anything would be so greatly appreciated
Bump :fingers-crossed:
Mainboard may be broken.
I had this problem after flashing a wrong recovery but the symptoms were the same. I sent it to a repair center and they changed my mainboard and it worked fine so it could be possible that you've broken your mainboard in a way. (The reparation bill was paid by the warranty *horray*)
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.
