Htc tytn II.
It happened already once before two weeks and today again and i can't start my kaiser. First time i manage to start it somehow i don't even know how and i thought it won't happen again. When i push a start button only green color light appears on it, and nothing on screen. like it didn't start at all.
After that i can't do anything except soft reset which only shut down phone and green light gone then. Or take battery out! so i tryed everything later and now can't even start my phone anyhow!
I flashed rom in past and have some of dutty's rom in there
Please help me and tell me what is wrong with my phone and how to repair this problem?
now i can't even get green light. now is completely dead. I am worried if i send it at service with warranty that they will see i have no official rom (i'm on dutty's)

Flash it back to stock, all the details are in the wiki, you just have to read. Then you can warranty it.

If it is dead and won't start how are they going to find out you don't have a stock rom?
It is not like they have a bunch of brilliant guys sitting around HTC miraculously reviving dead phones. They through it in the dead phone pile and use it for parts.
Could be a battery issue (highly unlikely as I havent really heard of this happening ever) but still, its possible. So, if you have a replacement battery try it out. Also, has it been water damaged, have you dropped it multiple times or has something hit it hard? These things could also brick a tilt, something like that happened to my friend when a door slammed his wizard.
I doubt its a software issue, a software issue would still allow it to turn on.

now i tryed again in the morning and green light on phone again works. but only it!
So it is now a battery issue then ?!
doesn't help anything else again. didn't had any hard hit in it. i was yesterday at Prodigy music concert so maybe there get some hit but it should not be anything seriously.. For the first time it didn't get any hit.. It was rainy here yesterday and i had it in my pocket, but first time when this happened it wasn't rainy, than it was on hard sunny day and for the first time i thought it was because of sun! Now was quite rainy and wet day...
hm. i have news now here, when i leave it on green light started for a longer period, i get those multiple lines colors on screen i see. it's approx. 10 colors lines... and it stays for a 10 sec. approx. and after that it shuts down itself! And now again i cant even get green color. Disaster!

I suggest trying another battery as was said before. Or it can be also broken screen or something.

it's not broken screen because first time i somehow manage to start it and it works normal for 2 weeks.. so it must be a battery...
i will try with other battery later from friends kaiser

ok, let us know if that worked.
i tried with friends battery and it's not a battery problem. With his battery same problem, and when i put in my battery in his phone it works normal...
looks like I'll need to go to htc service using warranty... i hope it won't be some problem with them because i have dutty's rom
argh... not good!
now i got phone call from servicer who manage to turn on phone. And he saw in there dutty's rom, not official and my warranty now won't worth
now everything what he will do with phone i will need to pay by my own money.
Now he started phone and he says that he will return it to official rom and see will phone work then normal. If not he said he should change whole mother board to fix this problem which is really huge expense. He told me price almost same as new kaiser!!! terrible!
disaster, now i heard with service and the phone is not working well even with official rom now. I don't know what to do! He said he need to change motherboard and the cost for that is like new phone! Terrible. So, to be honest, this rom flashing is total mistake because could easy loose phone just like i do.
i would like to sell it but don't know how now because he don't work properly!

That's the risk you take when flashing a non OEM rom. If the rom your using isn't worth that risk, then don't flash it.
I bet the rom you were using didn't cause the problem either.

The problem can be or can not be caused by rom flashing. It could be just some hardware fault which has nothing to do with rom flashing.

i agree. i also don't thing it's because of rom flashing. probably some hardware failure...
but problem is when i can't start phone i can't change official rom offcourse
anyone know how much new motherboard cost and can i get it online somehow? here in croatia is not easy to find this because very few this phones are available... same with parts of this phone

dont know, but try to ask this question in kaiser accesories section.
My hd has suddenly gone dead. The battery light does not turn on even if plugged in. I have tried to reset while plugged in but nothing happens. Connecting to the pc also doesn't help. Also tried to put it into bootloader without success. This does not feel good. Any ideas what might be the problem?
might be the usb connection. could be loose or bad
Have you tried to remove the battery, and put it back in..had a littel problem like (during unlock) that would turn on, removed the battery for 10s and put it back in and it turn on.

HI Bro Iknow ur pain, this happen to my diamond also, one day just didnt turn on after unplug from my vista machine. Only thing I could think of is that maybe there was a short circuit somewhere between pluging to the computer with usb.
You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately
forget what i said.
i thought ur phone turns on but doesn't charge.

The problem is that I have installed a custom rom...and no way of reverting to original...does this void my guarantee?
Came back ...for now

I tried this and it magically came back. The strange thing is that I had been taking the battery out and putting it back in many times ...but perhaps I had not left the battery out long enough.
The battery also seems full which is kind of strange since I had been using the phone all day without charging.
In any case, I will leave it charging over night and report back tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Sorry for "using" the thread, and I am glad that it was resurrected, but... VIPPER2004, in end were you successful for the unlock? I have exactly the same problem, and so far have not succeeded... Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You'd better reflash a stock ROM and keep it for a while until you are reasonably sure that it was just a case and won't happen again.

I am also trying to use the same soft, but no luck... could you please, eventually by PM, tell me the steps that worked for you?
And it can be in Portuguese... ; )

Dead again
Well...it did happen again. This morning I found it dead again while plugged in. Unfortunately, I did not reflash it to stock rom. I can now only hope that I get a second chance to reflash before sending it off. Any other ideas are welcome.......

Looks like my hd has to take a trip to the factory.
Quick question: since I didn't manage to revert to initial rom does anyone know what the policy is on repairing an htc with custom rom?
That is indeed unfortunate...
What custom ROM have you installed? Have you checked in the thread if someone else had similar issues? And have you installed any particular program?
Also, you had no such issues while you were on the original ROM?
If you have this type of issues, trying to flash a stock ROM without being sure about the cause for the issues might be a little dangerous... There would be, I suppose, the risk that something might go wrong during the flashing process. And you would risk having a lovely brick...
Regards,
P.
I have installed Panosha's light version. No one else seems to be having this problem. Is there a chance that the battery is faulty? Can I have it repaired even though it has a custom rom installed?
Hi,
It might be a problem with the battery, but you could only try this possibility if you used other HD... by the way you have been using the wall charger or the usb cable attached to the PC?
Regarding the possiblity of having it repaired, under warranty, it could depend on the repairer itself. At the limit they could refuse to repair it under warranty, because a non-official ROM has been installed, and, specially, because a non-original HSPL is in place... but they could also overlook this, or do not notice it.
I would make sure it can not be "ressurected" and properly flashed before going to HTC service.

P.

I have tried several times to resurrect it without success. On one ocassion I had the power light turn on for about 2 seconds then dead again. The only thing I have not tried is to try another battery. I will probably find one by tomorrow to test. Otherwise on Friday it will head to the repair shop...and fingers crossed. I will let you know what the repair policy seems to be here in Greece.

Your phone is not broken!
Duttys ROM does not have this problem. I have had the same with Panosha's ROM and with Touch of HD ROM. The screen goes black and only removing the battery brings it back.

I wish this were the case, but even after removing the battery I cannot get it to function. Even when plugged into an outlet the power light does not turn on, so it's clearly more than a blank screen.
I tried updating my phone and it got stuck on step 9 which was the reboot process. and the screen was just white with the HTC logo.
It was stuck on this step for a good 3 hours so i assumed something was wrong. I cancelled the update and unplugged the phone from the computer and it was stuck on the HTC screen still so i took out the battery.
And when i put the battery back in and tried turning it on it wouldn't turn on. And so now it my phone won't even turn on! I'm very frustrated. I thought at first it was dead but when i plugged it in the charger the charging light won't even come on. Tried Wall Charger and Computer
Please someone help! I need a solution
(Problem Solved by Flashing the Set with RIFF Box)
Try to put into bootloader and flash a rom from an ruu. You'll start from scratch but if it works it works.

Thanks for the Reply Man, But i try to put the Phone in Boot loader by Pressing the Volume Down Key and Power Key But no respond from the Phone...
Please advise if i am doing it Correct.
Its not showing any sign on Power at all even when i plug it to the PC or wall socket charger.
Pretty sure that's how to put in bootloader. Try to take battery out out for like 2-3 minutes, put back in then try bootloader. Doesn't make sense since the Zune updates basically overwrites files to update, not like previous windows mobile updates that wipes the the phone then replaces everything. Keep trying. Is there a possibility the battery is dead?

Whenever you update a phone and something goes wrong, it is always advised to make sure you DON'T remove the battery, especially while updating, if you hadn't removed the battery you could've ran the Windows Phone support tool. You have Bricked your mobile.
If there is no life not even charging you have bricked it.. Sorry to tell you this
You ain't the first person to brick your mobile and sadly you won't be the last
Quick Question: How were you updating your phone? via Zune client where it specifically says Do not remove the cable or battery.. Or via rom update manager for manually updating roms where it says the same thing? Hate to sound horrible but people should really pay attention to what it clearly states during updating..
Additional Info: Just thought id add and ask what you were updating, basically if you were updating either the bootloader or the radio (if these were in the update as well) you've bricked it, and with there being no life at all it tells me its dead and the cpu refuses to boot, the only way to bring it back from the dead is to JTAG it which I don't believe has been done for the HD7 yet and is a massive pain to do, Best thing you can do is send it in for repair and hope that they repair it, normally they don't
I was updating it through Zune, And it was stuck at step 9 and it was stuck like 4 hours.
Well it is is Bricked then i guess this is my Last windows Phone
I was happy with my iphone 4 but i don't know what strikes at my head that i decide to sell it and buy this stupid HD7 ( May be i am Stupid not the Phone)...
I will hit the Repair Market to get it fix through JTAG ( I search on Google and find that it's Possible for HD7) and update the thread later.
Wish me Good Luck

I know iPhone 4's are perfect, I think Apple has 0% percent returns. Oh don't forget the bumper, they are so in season... and they help to prevent drop calls.
My guess is there is a reason for the 4 hour update, possibly the phone got disconnected breifly during the update... that happens and the phone will just sit there and never finish. I have a few micro USB cords and they seem to be a bit prone to faluire after months of use. My nephew, who is 19... and well as careless as a 19 year old was holding the phone in his hand did just that, almost bricked his. Fortunately for my nephew the 7720 update program had already copied everything to the phone and it was during the reboot so it updated anyway.
Well the Update is...

Dear, I am afraid that i can't help you a lot on this as i just ask the repair shop and they said that they can fix it with the help of some hardware called RIFF Box and they did in few hours. Just to be noted that they have to disassemble your phone to so that.
regarding IMEI problem i have no idea too. Best of Luck and i can understand your feelings.

Dear all,
to be honest my phone is dead again when i try to do some ****ty update .....
i am trying to find someone to do this again. i will update accordingly soon.
I have the same problem
Hi, I have the same problem and my phone's been dead for 3 months now
I went to a repair shop in Cairo, and they did the JTag thing, but he was unable to download or install the right ROM... Everytime he tries installing a different ROM it fails and he has to start all over again.
Do you know where I can find/download the ROM that works with my T-Mobile HD7 after we do the JTag?
Still no Update....
Hey where you find a RIff box in Pakistan , I've half bricked my phone
I have been working with android phones for over a year now and have never had this happen ! I went to the software update in the phone and clicked check now button and it said software update available. So I went ahead and downloaded the software and when it was finished downloading went ahead and started the install and left the phone when I came back to it the screen was black and nothing was happening ! By the way I left the phone for at least 2 hours so I tried turning it on and got nothing I put usb to see if it needed to charge and got orange light but still not turning on. Tried to go into fastboot power volume down and got nothing what is going on with this device why won't it turn on ? What can I do to fix this ? please help me !
Thank you in advance for any help I can get !
Maybe the battery is dead, I'd try a noun charged battery and see if it works then.

No it is not the battery as it will light the back lights when I plug in the usb cord and it also shows the orange charging light until it is fully charged I have now tried the unbricking process but the computer can not see the phone I have to fix this thing soon or else I will have to buy a brick for more than it is worth !
Please if there is anyone who can help me solve this I would be very grateful !

I do believe that to get into H-boot with this device you have to remove the battery ! So to answer your question yes I did pull the battery then tried to get into H-boot. And I think that I have also stated that I have been working with android phones for over a year but I think it has been more like two and have rooted and sim unlocked many androids so for this to happen to me at this point is just not acceptable I have a clean record as far as bricks go and would like to keep it like that I have even unbricked phones for people that have bricked them ! Thanks to xda and others for all the help along the way ! I hope someone here can help me solve this !
I did read the first post but it was a few days ago so I have forgotten some , I'm just trying to come up with anything I can to help so I guess I am at a loss and can't help in this situation but I'm sure some one can and hopefully they will .

Well...im assuming you were stock since you were doing a software update...
So why don't you just send it to HTC? They have a year warrenty on every device that should cover this since it is a software update malfunction...even if it was rooted with custom Roma and a different hboot, they likely wouldn't even know since you can't even get to hboot

This might be an option but I don't know if bootloader was unlocked and don't know if they can tell if it was or not ? And this is not my phone just doing this for a friend and still haven't told her that her phone is a brick ! Sending it to htc would take weeks if not months and she was thinking I would have already returned the phone to her two days ago ! Pulling my hair out and banging my head against the wall needing fix for this !

They won't be able to tell since you can't get in hboot...and it wouldn't take long at all...all they would do is send you a replacement after they receive yours...tjeyre not gonna thoroughly.examin it...they don't have the time...they go through hundreds if not thousands of replacements everyday
Anyways...your friend would have to send it in since its her phone...just let her decide...don't think there's much else.you can do

Can you press and hold the power button for about a minute to see if the device will power on? If this does not work, try removing the battery and then place the battery back in the device and try to power it on.
If this does not resolve the issue, My Name, we will need to perform a factory reset. Please note that this procedure will delete all personal data, customizations, and files from your Vivid, so be any information on the device that is not already backed up will be permanently deleted. If you have an SD card in the device, please remove it prior to factory resetting.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Down button, and then briefly press the Power button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the Volume Down button.
3. Press Volume Down to select Clear Storage or Factory Reset, and then press the Power button.
.
Once the factory reset it complete, the device should power on and then will prompt you to set the device up with your email accounts, etc. If this does not resolve the issue you will need to speak with your carrier for more information on having your device repaired. They will be able to answer any questions you have about the warranty and repair process.

LOL I think htc thinks I'm a noob ! But joking aside looks like I have to contact Bell Canada and see if they are going to replace the device or maybe they will want me to do a factory reset as well lol I will keep you updated ! Thank you all for your suggestions and if there is anyone that can tell me how to fix this thing you would be saving me a whole lot trouble !

So it isn't software fault... On the wakelock detector it show that the keuguard is keeping the screen on.. It is possible that it's hardware problem but the software keeps the phone on?

In normal situation when you press the button you activate the keyguard and it going to sleep after a few time. The software (keyguard) follows the hardware (button). In your case because of the damage of the hardware the button is always on and holds on the keyguard. Maybe i'm wrong but one other solution is to install a custom rom and deactivate the hardware button with the problem. You can activate and the navigation bar if you want. I think that can solve the problem also.
I would have opened up the phone and take a look. Disconnect/reconnect all cables inside and hope for the best

Don't open the phone if its still on warranty, just get it to the repair center. If you have no luck with getting your phone repaired for free try opening it as your last resort
EDIT: its obviously no software issue, it would be fixed by making a factory reseT/install custom ROM but you say you have already done that.

It isnt on warranty...and if it is its water damage and 99% they won't fix it!!!
Sometimes there is only a rest of water in phone. (Also same days later)
Put the phone without accu a few days in uncooked rice! (Maybe it is to late. Immediately after the bath rice is the best you can do)
