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.

You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately

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,
P.
Glad its working...

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.

Hi 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 don't know what caused this.
I got my G1 today. It worked for probably 2-3 hours perfectly fine.
I had an app freeze (either Barcode Scanner or Lock 2.0) and had to do a full hard reset.
Now, whenever the phones screen darkens or I put it to sleep manually, it WILL NOT come back up.
I have factory reset three times now to try and get this to work.
When the screen is black, all buttons on the phone still light up and so does the LED indicator up top. I had my phone set to use a locking pattern screen at one point during one reset to test out and when the screen went black, I was still able to try and log in by doing my pattern. It unlocked, but still showed nothing on the screen.
Please help!
I've tried:
Turning Wi-Fi off
Turning 3g Off
Disclaimer: Yes, I've searched. I can find other users with the same problem but none of them seem to have a solution.
Phone is NOT ROOTED and has the factory ROM.
Update 1: Update: It only freezes/blacks out when I try to wake the phone from one of the front key buttons.
If I'm sliding to unlock, it seems to be fine.... (but if I've already tried to open from the front it doesnt)
Update 2: If I mash all the buttons in random orders for about a minute or two it seems to come back. Anyone have any idea?
Update 3: I'm thinking this has to be an issue with none of the buttons waking the phone up when closed. If I lock the phone with the "END" key, and then click the front "END" Key again, nothing happens. If I slide the phone open, and click it twice - the phone wakes up.
Update 4: Confirmed update 3. Phone will not unlock via front keys unless it's slid open (or open enough to trigger).
I would really, really appreciate help with this.
Hate to bump this, but I've added some detail on the top and bottom. Have to leave for work, hopefully someone might have an idea by the time I get back.
Well you can try to reload the factory rom or root it and try a custom rom and see if the problem still exist. If it is still happening then it would be a hardware problem and need to be sent in. And yes you will still be covered under warranty with HTC since the phone is still less than a year old.
I had a problem with exactly the same symptoms. It turned out that the SD card was cocked-up so home, core, and some other process would hang trying to read it and the phone would not wake-up the screen any more.
Did you try removing the SD card and seeing if that helps?

Removed the SD card and rebooted the phone.
No change ( still acts the same way ).
Did you factory reset after or was it an instant change?
I don't mind losing data to fix this.

Wouldn't I have to root to reload the factory rom? Is there a rooting tutorial based just on that?

If you use the official update you don't have to have root. There are some links on here. I'll see if I can find it for you.
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-gfh-CRB43-from-CRB21.c88b03d2.zip
That should be it, but can't confirm since I'm on my work computer.
Some thoughts--may be useful, or not:
Mine was doing that too, but it was caused because I dunked mine underwater during an urban exploring mission. I dried it out, replaced the LCD screen, and everything worked until it would go to sleep. Then I had to do a variety of button mashes and opening the keyboard to get it to come back to life. Sometimes it just wouldn't come back. The problem grew worse over time.
If wiping and reflashing (no need to use a stock ROM) gets you nowhere, then I would suspect a deeper hardware issue. I see you bought it used, can you contact the seller?
If you want to check for water damage, take out the battery and look at the tiny circular sticker in the battery chamber--if it is not white, it has been water damaged. (And the warranty will not be honored.)
Other Lesson: No urban exploring with G1s.
The link didn't work, btw.

Zero water damage.
That's great news zeabrid! In that case, I agree with an earlier poster--you should be covered by warranty. Wipe and flash a good rooted rom, and if that doesn't work, revert to stock and demand a new phone.

Do you have a link to a guide that teaches how to do this (with the stock rom)? I can only see a few that're spread out.
I'm not entirely sure my phone can boot into safe mode/disk mode, so we'll see about that.
Another update: When I boot into safe mode, the same problem exists.
Edit: Just emailed HTC.
This can officially no longer be considered a software issue.
I just rooted and installed a standard ROM. Same issue.
It happens all the way at boot now, just realized this.
HTC emailed me back and told me to call them directly. Will do that tomorrow.
if I find a solution I'll post it immediately.
Alright, my phone is officially ****ed.
Restored back to the original rom.
New problem now: When I close the screen, the backlight goes out and doesn't come back on. (I can still barely see everything, but there's no light).
Calling HTC today.
Edit: Called T-Mo support. They suggested deleting programs to free up space (I only have 2 downloaded and to reset (already done)
=(
Edit2: Called and placed a RMA with HTC after talking to two of their customer support reps. Thankfully, they forwarded me up the support tier after only about a minute with each person when they realized I had already tried all other steps.
The RMA process was surprisingly easy. I have everything set up, and when I get paid (tomorrow) I'm going to ship the phone out. I was given an estimation of 7-10 business days for full repair and return shipping (which sounds great in my opinion - I've never sent anything in for warranty work before).
I'll update you guys once I hear from their repair team on whether or not I'm going to be covered under warranty (I told them that the phone was a gift to me), and if not what the cost is going to be. Like I said earlier in the thread, all water damage indicators are clear and I have unrooted my phone, so I should be covered hopefully.
Thanks to anyone who posted in this thread.

Yea it defitenly sounds like a hardware issue and needs to be fixed. Glad your getting it fixed and you'll be covered no problem.
Do you know if they charge return shipping if it's covered under warranty? I have to pay my own shipping there, and they had me put a credit card down on file in case I either bail when its already there or they need to charge for repair.

To be honest I don't know the answer but would like to say they would pay for it. But they would have to let you know of the charge before they apply a charge to a credit card.
wow its weird cause im just having a similiar issue now.. in landscape mode.. phone and back light work perfectly. but one i close the screen everything goes virtually blank, everything is running perfectly just the screen light wont turn on..
will try some of your previous methods.. hopefully it works on mine..=/
thanks, for the info zeabrid
So the top of my screen is dead, the usual spot to die on these things, but now im getting the broken screen error forcing me to use the buttons. Ive read this is a software or hardware issue, but i flashed multirom and bliss but the issue still exists in bliss. im on 24a, if i flash 26a bootstack will it screw up my 24a, also is there anyway to fix my screen, tried the firmware update in the hidden menu, tried other kernals, any ideas?
halp pls
If you have the dead spot, nothing you can do. Warranty that bad boy if you can!
alright, i have a month left on my lg warrenty, they cover the dead spot correct? its in the same spot as everyone else with the issue, top part of the screen

From what I've read from others that had the problem, yes, it's covered. Just make sure and tot or kdz back to stock before you send it in. You might get a refurb, but that is a guess. I sent mine in for an unrelated issue and got back a brand new one.
I've had my G4 for over a year now, and it's been great, especially with Android 7.1.1.
Today I was using Messenger to type a message to my wife when it hard locked, and then rebooted. It then got stuck at the LG logo and I had to remove the battery for it turn off.
I put the battery back in, got to the lock screen, but again hard locked and rebooted, and got stuck at the LG logo.
Thinking I had a bad flash, I booted into TWRP and tried to reflash. TWRP locked before the flash began, rebooted, and got stuck at the LG logo.
At this point, I can't even get into TWRP now. It's been degrading very quickly.
Is there anything to do at this point? I heard that LG had a recall about a bootloop defect due to a hardware issue. Would this qualify?
I realize in my tired haze I posted this in the wrong forum. Could an admin move this to the correct place? Thanks!

use LGUP and a KDZ file remeber that upgrading to a certain version theres antirollback wich means once you in a specific version you can not downgrade. i would recommedn to download the latest 20q kdz flash it with LGUP with refurbished option,. if it bootloops then yes you have a bootloop problem take it to t mobile or LG.
looks like all g4 will get bootloop sooner or later, too bad, it is a great phone

My phone is a couple of weeks out of a year for the manufacturer warranty I'm sure. Will LG take it back if I can prove it's part of the hardware issue others have had?
Looks like it died completely. How would I go about talking to LG so that they can take it back to fix since they won't publicly admit to the defect? Would I need to talk to T-Mobile first?
Edit: oops, missed the "dead" part. Will it not turn on at all? What about holding Vol Up + Power?
Try T-Mobile first, but they will almost certainly refer you to LG anyway. But don't give up hope - my G4 was 3 weeks out of warranty and LG repaired it at no cost. They even paid for shipping.
As raptorddd said, you will want to reflash to stock to ensure it's not a software problem. There are guides here on XDA, but it's way past my bedtime so I'm having trouble remembering which one I used. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out tho'. I can tell you that the KDZ I used was packaged as a .zip named "H811V20q_00_1123.zip" with an SHA1 hash of 6a0a2b87e90aab590f6f83cd8e740f048215713f.
BTW you didn't mention whether you had a backup of your data. That's a whole other problem, and not easily solved. You'll also need a backup phone because this will take a couple weeks.

I don't get anything, even when I take out the battery and plug in the USB cable it doesn't give me the battery with the question mark in it, which you would think I should at least get that.

Do I just need to contact LG support then? Is there any way to mention the hardware issue or do I just describe what happened? Would be great if they accepted it. Do you know if they fix the phone itself or do they just send you a refurbished one?

I had just flashed LineageOS 14.1 when the lockup happened, so I thought it was a bad flash and wiped /system before it started getting worse. I managed to get it to flash though with the freezer method that was talked about, but if I can even get it to boot to do a quick backup it would be a miracle. The only things I'm really losing is my call log and text messages, so not a huge loss thankfully.
In my case, they replaced the main board. (I think they also scratched the screen, but I can't prove it. You may want to apply a screen protector before mailing it.)

Looks like I can get a response from the phone as long as I keep it frozen. Hopefully I can get it going long enough to get my data off once I can get the battery charged back up. I couldn't even get it to charge unless it was cold.
If it works when the phone is cold, then it's definitely the hardware failure reboot issue. It's caused by heat, over time, eventually weakening the solder connections between the CPU/GPU and the motherboard. When it's cold, the solder joints are connected. When it heats up, the CPU/solder/motherboard expand and the connections are broken. If keeping the phone in the refrigerator or freezer is not keeping the phone alive long enough to back up all your data, you can try opening up the phone and inserting something like a piece of cardboard between the CPU and the back of the phone. After closing up the phone, the cardboard will apply pressure to the CPU to keep the solder joints in contact with the motherboard. That, combined with keeping the phone in the freezer, should give you enough time to back up all your data.
This is the same issue that used to happen to PlayStation 3's and Xboxes (ring of death). The heat in those game systems caused the GPU solder joints to fail. I've also had this happen to 2 of my old laptops (Dell and Thinkpad). In my laptops, the heat also caused the video chips to lose their solder connection to the motherboard. Heat kills.
Hopefully, LG will honor this known hardware issue and agree to replace your phone.
Hello all,
I've been using my MI 11 ultra with the Xiaomi.eu latest stable version for months and never had any issue. Today, I was making a videocall on Whatsapp, and after hanging up the phone, the screen just turned black and never came back.
I tried to reboot on fastbook/recovery, but seems like the screen is just dead. Things that I tried.
- Plug in the phone charger (nothing happens)
- Force restart phone by holding the power button (It makes a little vibration like it's rebooting, but nothing happens after this)
- If I connect my phone to my laptop, it detects the phone as MTP, but I can't do anything with it.
- I tried to list device through ADB, but I doesn't appear in the list.
I have no clue what to do, at the moment it died, I wasn't doing anything special, I thought It would be because of the heat, but the phone wasn't hot.
It's really weird. Is there anything else I can do? Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance!
I think it's time to take your phone to service center...

Agreed!!!
has anyone sent the phone back to china for screen repair during the warranty period? Wonder how the process works.
Warranty with Eu. rom?! highly doubtful.
if you can fastboot your device, i'd suggest that you install original rom. (DONT LOCK BOOTLOADER). then jump to fastboot again and lock your bootloader. then send it for warranty. I don't think you'll need the screen to do that.
dont worry about device access and boot inside, doesnt matter.
Thank you all for the answers.
I stil have my last breath of hope, I found someone who had a similar issue with an Mi 11 => https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/black-screen-on-mi-11-ultra.63498/
I wasn't expecting it for this phone, you never expect this kind of weird issue from a 1k phone hahaha. It never happened to me and I've been flashing my Xiaomi devices since 2010
I'll try one last time, the back screen is not responding neither and as far as i know, they have different video controllers and since my computer can recognize it, I still have some hope.
This issue got me on vacation in the middle of the rain forest, and as you can imagen, internet here goes really slow.
I'm trying to download all the stuff that I need and once i have it, I'll try to restore my phone. I'll update you all with the results
Thanks in advance!
that would be great because if one of us should have the same problem then he can look in here and help himself
Hey all,
After fastboot, nothing changed unfortunately, I think I'll need to send it to warranty.
thank you all for the help

I had similar problems on my samsung galaxy a12. I flashed older fimware and the screen would just not work, it would be pitch black 24/7 no matter what I have done. I had to blindly enter in to odin_mode and flash new fimware. Similar thing is for you, try blindly booting in to fastboot or what ever you and flash the orginal ROM and don't use EU one because they probably wount accept it with in the warranty. AND UNDER NO CONDITION, DO NOT RE-LOCK THE BOOTLOADER
Hello all,
I have fresh, happy and weird update!
I was decided to send my phone to service center, I was just waiting to come back to Spain from my vacation, meantime, my phone was between my clothes since my last update.
Today I took it again while I was packing my things and voila! Screen is working again
My guess is that after taking a heavy rain, it got wet somehow (I say this because it supposed to be waterproof) and this caused the screen issue (3 days after the my rainy day).
Leaving the phone between my clothes, it my helped to dry out any water that could have leaked inside and phone is working again.
So, what I learned from this experience, never trust the waterproof certificate, hahahha.
I think once I'm back home, I'll put the phone on the water and try make the issue happen again, then send it to the SAT.
Thank you all!

So, what I learned from this experience, never trust the waterproof certificate, hahahha.
I think once I'm back home, I'll put the phone on the water and try make the issue happen again, then send it to the SAT.
Thank you all!

Warranty doesn't cover water damage as far as I know
You might be safer not trying to repeat the experiment
