Hi. So i have had a broken G1 just sitting on my dresser and was wondering if it can be repaired. Here's the thing. The reason it is not working anymore is because I dropped it on the floor of my flooded basement. Mind you, it does turn on, but the screen stays black. You do notice that the screen is on because it turns slightly gray. There have been instances where I have not touched it in months (just happened today) and it would fully work, but then after a couple of hours playing around with it the screen goes gray. So do any of you think that this can be repaired (at no cost). haha. I have a working g1 but it'd be nice to have 2! Thanks in advance.

It sounds like some things got damaged inside the phone, there really isn't a free way because you'll probably need to replace some parts. But there's someone in the forum that sells them pretty cheaply (don't remember their name)
I thought so. But just thought I'd ask the pros. Haha. Like I said, I already have one, so it's not that serious to try to fix it. Maybe I can sell it for cheap. At least I'll get something out of it. But thanks for your help. Really appreciate it.
I've got a similar issue, don't know if anyone can help but...Came out of work one day turned on my phone and started having issues with the widgets and a few apps on my phone (A2SD). Got home tried rebooting and recovering from a nand backup but didn't help, re flashed which didn't help, rebooted 1 more time to find that my phone would boot past 2 splash screens and then just stop at a black, backlit screen. I have it under warranty, no water damage, it was dropped aaaages ago but worked fine and this problem happened like 3 months after I dropped it so...Any ideas anyone?
It might be the flex cable inside the G1, the same thing happened to my sisters, she dropped it and you could only see the backlight light up. By the way, the Flex cable is a Pain in the ass to replace... well at least it was for me.. Good Luck
But wouldnt that mean none of the screen would work?
after water damage
My G1 fell in the bath tub while showering my kids. I quickly took the battery out, blow dry it and let dry for a month. Now, it turns on but each time i hit any button it gives a power off option.
I have taken it apart and cleaned the keyboard with alcohol. but still same problem.
Did i forgot to clean something or i need to replace a part?
please help!!

the problem is not the phone drop into the water, the problem start when u turn the phone on after u take it out from the water, so still wet and if u turn it on u gonna damage the circuits, so what i do its let the cell phone get dry not with a dryer ok, just leave the cell phone on a place is warm enough for like a day or 2 if u can and later try to turn it on maybe u get lucky and nothing get damage just get the steam it screen well thats my theory it works for me most of the time

hello!
i have a serious problem...i hope someone can help me:
My Htc One fell in water a week ago. I tried to dry it the best i could. And everything worked like before, but the power button somehow did not work like it should :/ It always means that i am pressing the power button...but i am not. I thought there is some water left inside. And from time to time it was getting better, it didnt always think that i am pressing the button. And it worked almost perfect 1 week. But now the power button seems really dead The phone always turns on and off by itself...until the batterly is empty. In this 1 week i made it completly stock...no custom rom anymore
It cant be repaird with warrenty, or?
What happens if i send it to HTC? Will they repair it and i have to pay for it? Or wont they repair it?
Has anyone any idea what to do?

Hi there,
smartphones have water indicators inside (white paper with red crosses on them). If you phone was not soaked completely there is a little chance that you will be ok and HTC will repair your phone on warranty, but the indicators are mostly attached to places where water could come in first :/
In the worst case they will tell you that there was water inside and you have to pay for the repair. But they will definitely do this before they start doing something
All the custom stuff like ROM, Recovery etc. would not be a problem, at least if you are not S-OFF.

My phone was completly under water so i think there is no chance for that :/
Do you think it can be repaired easily? The HTC One is known for that it cant be repaird easily :/ Will this be expensive?
I always thought that they are trained to spot unlocked or relocked bootloader? I thought s-off is not the big problem...

It's not complicated to repair the phone if you have the right tools. I can't tell you how much that will cost, sorry.

Turn it off and throw it in a bag of rice for a few hours.
The water indicator for the One is built directly into the camera flash. Look at the camera flash on the back of the phone. If the whole flash is still white/yellow then you are in the clear to send it back under warranty. If part of the flash is red, however, then you have voided the warranty

Is this the only indicator? It is completly yellow (no way white)
My phone is now booted completly and everything now works fine again But this happend very often now.... It's only a matter of time before it will reboot again
I have a similar problem here.
My son was playing on some rocks by the sea and fell off. When I jumped to catch him (which I did thankfully). my HTC One got knocked into the sea. I fished it out an attempted to turn it off. The phone wouldnt switch off though, it kept rebooting over and over. I put it in a container of rice and left it in the hot press for three days. Now I try and turn it on and nothing. Dead. I plugged it into the mains charger and not even a flicker of life from it.
I'm assuming the phone is dead or at least so damaged a repair is uneconomical, but is there a way to salvage data off it? Pictures mainly but anything I can get back would be appreciated. I'm assuming its a lost cause but if you dont ask, you dont find out.

if you like it risky do the rice trick again but heat it up a little with your oven or put the rice jar with your htc one in it in a bowl of hot water for some time to steam the rest of the water out. worked on my old iphone but could also happen that the water gets to other places in the phone were it does more damage.
dont go over 50°C/122°F

If you're REALLY desperate, you can try taking it apart because you can't fix that under warranty anyway so it wouldn't matter if you're sending it in to HTC (unless you break something).
P.S. What kind of water did you drop it in? Maybe some type of residue or something is trapped inside.

I dropped it just in water (not lemonade or something). Yeah, i think there is some water left inside :/
But everything worked perfect (for about 3 days) until i woke up today. I lay in bed for about 3 minutes (awake) and suddenly my phone booted (i have not even touched it). I let i boot for 7 times or so and then i plugged it into the charger and let it lay on my bed for about 30 minutes. When i came back to my bed the phone was completly booted and fully functional
But when i shake my phone a litte bit, there is a litte noise in it... like something broke and is now fallling around. Maybe this is the reason (My phone hit the ground of the water).

Don't worry about that unless it's too excessive. That's probably just the vibration motor or the sim card moving around in the slot.

Mine is yellow or yellowish, I would send it in, and check ebay or Craigslist for another. See how much it cost to replace it. Compare it to how much it they want to repair it. (Remove SIM card before you ship)
Hi Guys,
So last night I accidentally put my phone in a glass of water. Only the lower part of the was phone submerged under water ( the charging port and lower speakers) not more than 10 seconds. As i was driving then i forgot to switch off the phone and when i reached home after a couple of minutes, i dried the whole phone using tissues. The main blunder i created was that i didnt switch off the phone and used it for 15 minutes , tested out its speakers and stuff. After some time, the phone showed low battery and i started charging it and in a couple of minutes it turned off. It wasnt charging at all.Also i dried my phone using hair dryer for 5 minutes. Then i put the phone in uncooked rice for the whole night and the next morning i tried to switch it on but no success. But when i tried to charge it a dark red light started blinking and later the charging light started but when i switched on the phone , after the htc logo appeared the phone switched off again. From now i am not able to even charge it , no light comes , i think the phones dead now.
Also when i checked the liquid damage indicator, it hasnt turned red which it is supposed to if your phone is damaged my liquid.
So can i know that what should i do now? I am still under the HTC one year warranty but i dont know whether they will repair my phone or not?
Leave it in the rice for a few days and hope for the best. I would have left it in there longer before trying to turn it on. Damage may be done.....

2 words, electromagnetic migration. Your phone is effed. You should've shut your phone off immediately then put it in rubbing alcohol for an hour then placed it in rice.

Well alcohol displaces water.... but I'm talking like 90% alcohol. Whiskey is 40% alcohol and 60% water(this varies of course), but in the an electrical circuit being wet in the presence of an electromagnetic field(in your case your phone being turned on having a whiskey/water mix in the circuit), the copper ions in on the board actually start to branch out and cause micro short circuits on the electrical boards. Long story short, if your phone is not working now, the damage is most likely already done.

Ppl keep it in rice box for three to four days straight. You are determined to screw up the phone ? Give it some time in the box and then try to bootup.

I don't believe what anyone says about rice, rubbing alcohol etc any more after having my old i9300 at ten-twelve meters deep in highly oxygenated salt water for 22hrs (long story :-\ ) and being able to resurrect it after a day of pulling it to pieces (pcbs and all) and washing the corrosion off with just water and a toothbrush the HTC one is the replacement phone I ordered straight after assuming that the i9300 was surely dead lol... So I'd recommend watching some tutorials on pulling it to pieces without damaging the components, cleaning everything inside with just water and a toothbrush and drying with a hairdryer (whilst still in pieces) before reassembling. I bet that it'll work without any problems, just make sure to carefully study the tutorials
Edit: this disassembly video looks pretty good, I only watched a few minutes into it but the guy seems straight to the point. Definitely worth a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyrxa23OwME

Dude you really have to stop turning your phone on! Just leave it in there for a couple days. Dont plug it in, don't even touch it. Just leave it for 3-4 days. If it doesn't turn on after that, I think its time for a new phone.
Oo

Lol yea, I don't know why would he turn it on without giving it chance to dry up. Even wet clothes take atleast one day to dry up without heat or dryer. Cheesus. And on top of it you put it up on charge. Lmao, I am sorry but I couldn't control my laugh.
But on serious note leave it alone for few days.

Actually i tried to charge it 30 mins after it got wet. Then again the next day after 12 hours. Now from the past 3 days most of the time its in rice. Yesterday i kept it on charging and after an hour, a battery icon was visible on the screen and the led light was blinking orange. Then someone advised me to stop it and keep the phone in rice for more time.
What should i be doing now? Is there any hope left?
Your impatience has killed your phone. You should have let it dry before having electricity move at all through your phone. The water has short circuited that high current of electricity when you tried charging it and has most likely corrupted a lot of the hardware inside your phone.

So now the phone only responds to charging after keeping it in rice for 2 more days. There is an orange light blinking and sometimes a battery icon is visible. I am not able to switch on the phone.
Also are there any additional water indicators besides the one in the camera flash which is still yellow?

You probably killed the battery and the board, if you want to still try something else, replace the battery and see if it powers up.

Yes there are water indicators in the phone itself. You cant see them, but they're there. (If you look closely in a disassembly video, you can see it.)
If you want my opinion on this whole thing, just give up. You're phone is dead. Give it to HTC and pay for the repair. I think it's around $150.
Hello everyone
So a couple weeks ago I took a unexpected swim with my Nexus 6 in my pocket, and haven't gotten it to work since. When I got out I immediately took the phone out of my pocket and turned it off, only to have it boot back into fastboot a few seconds later, turn off, boot to fastboot, and turn of again. It did this several times till it just stayed off. I took it apart, dried it, and cleaned it in Isopropyl alcohol and tried to turn it on but got no response no matter what I did. :crying:
I would consider it fried except whenever I plug it into my charger, the charging icon comes up like normal and even does the battery filling up animation. I replaced the power/volume button strip inside the phone hoping that it was the only problem, but it still would't turn on. I haven't replaced the battery yet because the charging animation shows it's holding charge, but loosing 40ish% after a week and a half of sitting there.
So is there something else I can do, or is it fried? I'm probably going to get a new battery to see if that improves anything, but I honestly don't know what more to do. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks in advance!
It's fried. Best you can do is send to shop and see if they can salvage it.
Alright, I'll guess I'll have to do that. Thank you for your reply.
I would like to share photos of my phone and seee if anyone vcan help, my situation is kind of similar. I tried to charge after to days of silica drying and cleaning with IPA.
I thin the connection around the battery area isn't secure. Is there a glue that i could buy?
The only thing a shop may do, is give it a bath in a ultrasonic machine, and bake the board. Try a new battery, internal batteries never do well in WD.

You may still have enough adhesive left over on the coil to stick it to it. Otherwise it doesn't matter much, as long as its connected and not crazy loose, the frame will hold it in place.

So i installed cm13 then decided to go back to miui, I installed by sideload and everything went well. Pressed reboot system and it has never come on since. The battery was charged but now its flat. Plug into charger red led blinks for awhile then stops. No fastboot or recovery available to me due to lack of power in battery. Have ordered a new battery in the hope it just died ,I have had a few problems charging from completely flat recently anyone got any suggestions? thanks James.

Take phone apart, unplug battery. Plug phone into mains with battery unplugged. While plugging in hold Vol Up, wait for Mi screen to appear, then it will disappear if it doesn't try again unplug charger and plug back in. When it disappears let go of Vol Up then plug the battery back in while still plugged into the mains (be careful I would just push the connector on using the plastic cover, no metal) that should get you into the recovery.

Yea saw your other post my battery is completely dead not the same as the other miui forum. Plugging in to mains with battery unplugged does nothing but I don't think its supposed to, something about certain ammount of charge before most modern phones will boot. I just seen some recent modern phone batteriy tests, where if the phone gets to a certain temp it takes the battery out and can't be stopped. Flashing the note pro with 810 snapdragon might not be a good idea, thermal throttling doesn't work while in TWRP. Will post back when new battery arrives. Thanks Kahun

While plugging in hold Vol Up, wait for Mi screen to appear, then it will disappear if it doesn't try again unplug charger and plug back in. When it disappears let go of Vol Up then plug the battery back in while still plugged into the mains (be careful I would just push the connector on using the plastic cover, no metal) that should get you into the recovery.

If this is true then the phone must be completely broke, but nothing happened why would it just break doesn't make sense, surely even if I flashed the wrong rom something would still work (but I didn't).��
The battery won't be here till Wednesday at the earliest.. I have been flashing Roms for 10 years never made a brick before.

I'm sure it's fixable. I never had a brick myself either. My battery failed on me at random so it could be same for you but I was able to turn my phone on using the method I told you.
So the new battery didn't help, not recognized by pc no recovery no fastboot so it's game over for this phone.
So there was a way to fix it, involving removing motherboard and connecting a wire to 2 test points, heat gun needed and loads of time, lost interest and binned it ��. May not have fixed it but I think it would have corrupted boot sector or something, if anyone else gets the same search " mi note pro dead" if you fancy a mission��

Oops got 2 good batterys. You should of said if not fixable I would of had it. Send you the batterys for free if you want. Got a redmi note 3 pro now. The screen had a crack and the back wasn't original (plastic not glass) still got the sim holder, silver not gold (snapped the original) remember

It's virtually impossible to remove the buttons think you need a new mid section, thats why I binned it, snapped when I took the motherboard out, although the midsection is cheap need to seperate the screen.

I took the flex out but didn't notice it was glued to the motherboard.:crying: The flex is volume +- and power cheap as chips but can't see how it could be fitted without removing screen.

It is cheap indeed hah! and you do not need to remove the screen? Don't see why you would. It's easy just heat it up and take it off as there's a bit of adhesive.

I actually give up on the removing screen bit unless it smashed, saying that if the mid section is dented may as well replace it. I couldn't see how the button flex came out looked like it was essembled from under the screen not from the back.

But this mid section is not gold! People will think you have the Mi Note and no it definitely comes out the back the vol/pow flex cable as it connects to the mobo on the back.

Gold is no problem, the link I posted said black gold or silver but the new link says only for the pro so your probably right.If you look closely on the new link the volume flex comes with the mid section. Damn if I had seen this before it would be working now:crying:

Ahh damn it Did you buy a new phone now?
New phone
Yes I bought lg g5 and gave it my wife, them broke it for her. Now she got redmi3 note pro,I'm not touching it
My phone is now a brick too! Woo! It wont charge as the sensor thinks the battery is -19.5 C. Oh well downgraded to a Samsung S5 at the moment and just awaiting payday so i can order OnePlus 3
No way, it might comeback to life in a month or 2
How can that happen,?
