I'd suggest you make a full backup and hard reset the device in order to make sure its not a hardware problem. If it works fine after a hard reset, you'll know its something you installed relatively recently.
I did a hard reset.nothing changed.then i flashed a different ROM.But still i am facing the problem.
Try the following:
Get a can of canned Air and blow it on the button as it might move any debris that are there. Just make sure that the phone is off and the battery is out. KEEP THE AIR STREAM AWAY FROM THE SCREEN! If any of the propellant escapes while you spray, it can freeze the LCD. Just slide it open and stick some paper on top of the screen. Wait a few moments before you switch the device back on
If this doesn't work, flash the Kaiser with its original ROM and SPL just in case there is an odd interaction somewhere. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418375
If nothing of the above work, you have two options:
a. If the device is in warranty, return it and get it fixed or replaced. Make sure is has its original ROM/SPL loaded before you do.
b. If the device is out of warranty/you don't care about the warranty, you can try to open it up and see if something is blocking the switch. There are instructions floating around here somewhere.
EDIT: Added warning regarding the propelant and the LCD
Any update here? My tilt is doing the exact same thing
alt236 pretty much said all there was to it. Hard reset, restore stock ROM, try blowing the switch, if all fails send for repair.
Did all of the above and the cost of repair is not worth it. Time to toss my kaiser I guess
i just picked up my telus htc diamond last night. was looking forward to putting the new juicy rom on it today, but i get screwed over big time. first i tried putting the hardspl from here, that didnt work. then i went to ppc forums downloaded .057 cdma version of hardspl for diamond. that worked. so i wont over to install the juicy TELUS version of the rom 2.3. was going well, but 40% through it stopped, and ever since i was not able to get the rgb screen off my touch. i tried reapplying the .057 version and now it wont start up. the screen freezes on htc diamond touch, with version info. is it a done deal for this phone? if there is any way to fix it, please help me out. the stock version rom on it was 1.6.661. or do you think they will take it back. i will say i was updating the files, and it just keeps freezing on it. do you think they will notice i was tempering with it? any help would be appriciated. i just signed on a 3 year term, and don't feel like paying 500 dollars for it, as i was running all over the city to get the 100 discount on the phone.
please help me out on this one. thank you
when i start it up, it shows these stats
uP0B P DCBBBPZM-615010
B 80 R 0. 99. 90V
ps20 D 1. 06
are these stock stats?
did u try hard reset?
If not u can find a stock rom and try to flash it in using bootloader mode?it shd work if u r able to go into bootloader...good luck bro
i can't seem to dwonload the stock rom. but i doubt it will wokr because the phone is not synced. it wont start up. it stays frozen on that blackdiamond screen with red letters. do you think they will take it back in store if i say i dunno what happened?
i am not sure what hard reset is. i tried removing the battery and i also tried pressing on the little button behind the battery slot is.

Tatswhy i ask to u to try to go into bootloader bro,if u can, u might still be able to flash in a rom...
Don't panic. Try Hard Reset. Keep pressed Volume down button+Enter+,,little button behind the battery slot'' and than follow the instruction on the screen. Try search better for Hard Reset

i cna't seem to put on a stock rom. i download one from ppc forums, but it shows its 1.00. my telus cmae wiht .1.6.661
i can't seem to be able to flash anything on. i do hard reset and it goes ot the rgb screen, but not much from there.
when i try to flash it, it wont even display the image version. does it mean there is no rom on it or what?

Today I needed to perform a restore from a backup (using Sprite backup), but when the unit rebooted, it won't progress beyond the "smart mobility" screen.. There are the usual orange numbers in the bottom right of the screen, but it doesnt boot beyond that
I have tried hard resetting it (press both vol up and down, then power on) but I cant get to the screen that says caution you are about to hard reset the device etc etc..
Can someone please help me? This has really got me depressed. I paid a lot of money to get this imported from the UK (I live in Australia), and have found the unit so damn valuable/useful to date..
If anyone has any thoughts / ideas, please help..

Well, I can't actually see your device, however, relax Bro., the HR procedure on the HD is a bit tricky, took me a couple of trial/errors to perform successfuly, but finally I got it right.
Take deep breath, do it again following the instructions in the Manual (on CD) and it'll be OK.
======

Ahh man, this well and truely sucks. I have tried HR about 40 times now. Nothing.
Can't even power off the device without pulling out the battery.
First which version of Sprite did you use to backup your phone , and second if you know your rom version enter bootloader and reflash it from there.
Woohoo! I accidentally discovered bootloader and flashed a new rom from there.. pity I didnt know what my original rom was, so now I have to re-install everything as sprite seems to corrupt everything whenever I restore (meaning i have to reflash over again)..

For my undersanding only, how did you flash a new rom on your HD as I get the strong feeling this can not be done unless you have the original rom version from your operator.
Thus please explain what rom you used, what is your orginal rom as in what carrier did you get your device from.
Maybe I missed something.
Yeah... show off some of your moderator skills and enligjhten us with some nice fact and details about your flash action. From German to WWE or so ?

I would love to but as you see I can't else I would have a WWE rom on my Swiss device.
So as you see I am in the same boat as you.
I'm pretty sure he just had a matching shipped ROM

When HR, what does it say when you press both vol up and down, then power on?
did you do HR in power off? or you may try HR after reinstall the battery.
I have not met this, just my suggestion.
the reinstalling battery trick seems to work
I had tried several times to hard reset my stock ROM and finally got it to work by taking out the battery then putting it back in, then first thing hold two volume buttons and press power button on top. Weird how difficult that is!
Yes hard reset is tricky with the buttons... Now I can get it to hard reset quite easily.
1. Press both vol up & down and keep them depressed.
2. Now press the power button briefly while step 1) vol up + down is still depressed. Very important do not press the power button for too long otherwise it won't work. Just press and release...
3. Release the vol up + down keys when you see the red/blue/green stripes on the screen.
4. Follow on screen instructions
OK i have a Hero in my possession that was working fine until the battery went dead. After it went dead when the phone was powered back on it just boots to the white HTC screen it keeps cycling that screen untill you pull the battery. It will not boot into recovery. I have ran the RUU, it says its completed but the phone still does it. The phone does have charging light and will boot into fastboot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to get this phone going again. Again it does not have recovery so no ADB. Thanks in advance for the replies!!!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
What I would do is charge the phone all the way, until the green light shows on the top left corner. Then run the ruu and see what that does.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
i have had it charge but not fully charged 100% i will try that also..but im sure it wont make a difference
Phone fully charged and ran the RUU same results. Oddly i found someone with the same issues here. other than JTAG i have no clue where to head now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761559
after you run the ruu can you boot into the clear data menu screen there, i forgot what its called. i think its home+power(held) on a stock rom. then you get the option to clear everything. or try volume down+power(held). i think one of those things might help you.
or take it to sprint and ***** until the satisfy you.
i have tried that...and i tried sprint..my water sticker on the very edge on the battery cover has started to turn red..not completely but enough so they wont do anything. the phone never touched water they say it could be from sweaty hands or extreme climate change which is bull****... it never touched water
Here is how I was able to save my phone:
While your powering on the phone, hold menu...which should, boot the phone into safe mode. From there, I would suggest you root your phone, so you can save yourself some trouble if this were to happen again.
If your phone doesn't go into safe mode that way, try this: hold
home, search and power button, and let it do a hard reset...immediatly after that, press menu to restart the device, and continue holding the menu button until you some progress, it should then boot into safe mode.
pm me, if you need any more help! i just finished getting out of this mess, so i understand your pain xD

Please make sure you try multiple times,
http://www.google.com/search?q=hero...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
try those results for attempting to get into safe mode, from what I've learned from my experience, you should be able to get into safe mode, no matter how messed up your phone is or was, after you a do a hard reset.
I don't really know what happened. When I press the power button my phone's screen lights just black then goes blank. When I press my buttons they vibrate but nothing happens. I've tried pulling the battery out several times, leaving it on the charge and all other kinds of things. It is just not working. Does anyone have the solution to this problem?
I'm not sure if this is the same issue..but along the process of rooting my rogers raider I encountered thus during a regular restart. I thought I bricked my phone but realize that the back light was just off and my phone was actually in the recovery menu. I put the phone under bright light and I could just barely see the headings in the recovery menu. It took some tilting and angling the phone just right to see it, but I was able to run a nandroid recovery and get back to a point before this happened. Once again, not sure if its the same thing but try tilting the phone around and using the volume keys to see if you can see the recovery menu in the blank screen.
Hope this helps

This doesn't seem to be the situation I'm having but thank you anyway. +Thanks.
when you plug it in to charge, does the orange charge light come on for 4-5 seconds then go out again? have you tried to hold the vol down key and the power button to get into HBoot? If you can get into HBoot, you might be able to get into recovery.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. I tried what you said but it is not working. My phone won't go into Hboot.
I think your battery isn't charging (at least that was the issue I was having). Your battery will only charge when the orange light goes on, and if it's anything like what was happening to me, when the orange light went off, that's when the buttons would vibrate. If this is the case, it may sound tedious, but you have to watch the phone. When the orange light goes off, push the home button several times and the vibrating will stop. Then you should see the orange light come on again to signify the charging state. It'll go off again after 4-5 seconds and the buttons will vibrate. Repeat the process of pushing the home button and letting the orange light come on and eventually, the phone should try and turn on. You can try and see if it'll boot, but mine never had enough juice to turn on. So I would pull the battery when the HTC Logo came up and repeat the process with the orange light. This time though, I would hold the vol down button knowing that when it tried to turn on again, it would load into the bootloader. I can't guarantee this'll work for you, but give it a go. What might make it easier is borrow a charged battery from someone and see if it'll load into the bootloader. That might save you from that tedious process.

help pleaseeee
Try different battery fully charged and see if your phone turns on. It it does then plug your phone for charging and see if charges.
Try connecting your phone with usb cable in computer and see if your computer recognize the phone.
there can be three issues.
1. Your battery is dead and won't charge
2. Your charging port on phone is not working
3. your phone backlight is not working.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hello
I hope to get an answer here to avoid a new thread. I was trying to return my vivid back to gb from ics. I had booted into the bootloader and i dont even remember at this point what i thought i was going to do. I think i got distracted. But anyway i pressed vol down to boot recovery because i was going to do a backup and i looked away from the phone for a minute and when i came back to it the phone was black screen. i hit the power thinking it was just on standby but nothing. I notice it was backlit on the screen but nothing would happen when i press anything. I pulled the battery waited a few min put it back and now totally black with no activity at all. no lights no vibrating no power on, no adb. I have played with a lot of phones and even iphones too so if this thing is fried i guess i will consider myself lucky that its the first ive actually killed out of probably 30 phones. I have searched and tried many things but i cant believe there is no way to recover it. I have recovered a lot of phones I thought I bricked before. any help is greatly appreciated. I was on ics and rooted. I also relocked the bootloader. (i was planning to go back to gb) I thought i had a recovery installed but maybe not. i posted in another thread that i was unable to get hboot by power + vol down method. i could only do it through the tool kit. so i dont know if any of that matters

I hope someone resolves this issue, I've messed with lots of phones. But this is really weird. But I got the same problem where all that happens is that there is backlight on but no boot IMG no HTC logo, no bootloader, recovery. Completly non responsive. At first it wouldn't even power on until I would unplug from a power source. Whether it was unpluging the charger or removing the battery. That's when the backlight would flash. All this happened in the process of flashing a PH39IMG.zip
Is there no other fixes for this? Anyone? Please

I once got stuck on the HTC screen (White background) and found out I could access the device in adb.
So, connect your phone to your pc and check if you can access it from adb (adb devices). If you can try get to the bootloader from here and see what happens (adb reboot-bootloader)!
And if you can access bootloader,
>If you need to get back to stock, get your carrier RUU, put rom.zip from it in an external sdcard and use reboot into hboot again, OR
>if you need a custom ROM unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery (TWRP is cool) and you may use TWRP to install your ROM
I hope this helps... lets know...
I did mention I cant get it to recognize the phone. So no adb I tried all that before posting. Im afraid im just dead
So I am having the same problem. I eventually got it on yesterday but I turned off my phone and I am back to square one. Would using the vivid toolkit work to reboot to hboot? or am I stuck like this until i replace battery?
4 hours later I am back on!! never turning this thing off again
Had the same problem and just left the at&t store and its the battery. Once he exchanged batteries it worked fine
