Hey guys, i've had a look around and i'm in a hurry as im heading to melbourne in an hour or so.
My phone went flat last night and now does nothing..
if i take the battery out for a few seconds sometimes the amber light comes on for about 3 seconds then goes off.
other times it will flash on/off for about 10 seconds then stop.
i cant get into anything, hboot, or even a white htc screen.
Also the weird part is the touch buttons down the bottom vibrate when i press them, however nothing happens?
so ive come to the conclusion of
1. screen is dead? (no liquid damage and no cracks)
2. bricked ( i used the stock ics rooted ruu)
3. battery is dead?
basically i need to work out if i can get it back to stock or what im to do?
maybe someone knows a shop in melb that can do warranty jobs (if warranty will work) any tips would be great right now as i have no phone!
Also how am i going to backup my stuff????
finally got into hboot and did a factory reset. will see what happens
factory reset didnt work so now im trying to get back into hboot
Get into HBOOT and try to RUU it.
Have you installed a custom recovery/ROM? If you have and can get to HBOOT, boot into recovery and reflash your ROM.
I got int hboot once but can't seem to do it again will try again when I get home hopefully I can I have installed the custom ics stock rom that's rooted
took into telstra and tested it there, with a new battery it worked, so now i have to wait a week for them to get a new battery for me. at least it wasnt the phone!!

Sorry for the bad title
Hi everyone, yes I'm a nood and yes I've read all the posts (I think) or at least I have not come accross my problem, sorry if this is long but I'll try and make it understandable.
I have a captivate 10.11 locked to rogers, Loved the phone, One day being past 40 and not being able to remember my name sometimes, I told my Brother don't let me get in the pool with my phone on, go in the house come outside and sit for a minute then get in the pool ...arrrg! I noticed right away and took the phone off removed the battery, dried the phone best I could. threw it in a bag of rice and left it in the sun for about 2 days. I put the battery back in and yeah!! the phone worked ..... for 1 day no problems. I get up the next morning and I turn it on but I can't slide to unlock??? So I remove the battery, when I put the battery back in, it doesn't go past the I896 Samsung screen no matter how long I leave it?
(This is where the title comes in) I start to read the forums here and figured well I have nothing to loose, I can get my phone to go into download no problem, so I load the odin one click on it "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" now I'm stuck at the AT&T screen, so I play with all button combinations I have read about, but nothing I do will get me into the recovery menu ?? Low and behold after 3 days of playing I get life, the 3rd day I figured "well I may as well turf this" I turn it on and after a minute I get the little android guy with some yellow text and then it goes back to AT&T then loads the home screen??? I'm thinking woo hoo I get the home screen I'm able to put my sim back in and SD and I'm able to make the phone work. So I'm thinking I'd like to have the Apps that come with Rogers so I think, well I'll load the rogers stock rom. Now I'm stuck again at the I896 screen.
Sorry for being long in the explanation, But I've gotten the odin 1 click to work 2 times and the second time I rooted the phone and loaded the rogers rom through rom manager, I got all working perfect but after 2 days it froze again at the slide to unlock screen??? Remove the battery and again I'm at the boot I896.
Can someone tell me if
1. water damage could have this affect? (the slide to unlock freezes or screen not responding to touch after a couple days) ?
2. can a rom take 3 days before it loads? the odin 1 click always seems to come to life after 3 days of playing with it the rogers rom doesn't? When it's stuck at the boot I896 or AT&T the soft keys seem to work (meaning I run my finger over them and they dim) ??
I'm sorry if I missed a similar post but I've been reading for weeks now ? Any help at all would be appreciated.
Sounds like a classic case of water damage. probably internal moisture
check your stickers on your phone if they are white you can get a replacement no problem, if pink it going to be harder try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073929
Ps. your title has nothing to do with the problem at all, it look like a joke. Next use a more appropriate title
As I bought it second hand I won't be able to return it. I'm just wondering if there is not a way to save it, because I can get into download mode everytime I try and it succeeds everytime it flashes ?
Well day 3 after loading the odin 1 click and I am back, I rooted and change the rom using rom manager, all seems to be working fine (I hope ) I will keep you posted if it locks up again ???
All is good after 4 days so I'm hopeing 3 times, a charm thanks to this forum I've saved my Cappy

My phones battery died over the weekend, I got it charged back up, the phone was acting real sluggish so I restarted it, came back a few hours later and noticed it was still on the white HTC screen, I watched it for a few minutes and noticed it would sit on this screen for about a minute, then go dark, then back to the HTC screen and we go round and round.
I tried hboot, all the options do this. Fastboot, recovery even factory restore all trigger this infinite loop...
What has happened? How can I fix this?
Note that it was a stock phone, no mods, no custom ROMs or anything else. It was OTA updated to ICS about a week ago, and has been fine since then.

So can you get to the bootloader and send fastboot commands?
Sorry I am not a modder or anything like that, do you mean select the "fastboot" option?
I tried running fastboot reboot from my PC while it was plugged in and my phone was in the hboot area, and it just says "waiting for device" and never does anything.
If I select "fastboot" from the hboot menu the phone restarts, a bar goes up the side of the HTC screen then about 30 or so seconds later it goes black and repeats process.
Ah, yes I can. I figured it out, plug into USB, select fastboot, then it goes to USB. I was able to reboot the phone.
EDIT: Tried running the update from HTC's website, took it about 5 - 10 minutes or so. It completed without issues, however the phone is still doing this infinite rebooting cycle...
You mean the RUU? And for ICS? That is supposed to be the ultimate method to unbrick and return to stock. Sounds like the OTA messed something up. When you say go dark you mean the screen goes of then it comes back to the HTC screen? This is probably obvious but have you tried a battery pull? Taking out aim card anything is worth a shot.

Yes the RUU update from HTC's website. The phone started this morning without issues. Then after a restart it starts the whole cycle over again.
So i have a big problem. Lets start from the beginning.
1. At first have done nothing weird, just normal phone usage (browsing) while charging. When it has come to 100% charged, after few moments the boot screen suddenly appeared. I removed the battery and tried to restart the phone but phone screen was black, i left it like this for few minutes (switched off) and then again connect phone to charger and turn it on and screen was somehow alive.
2. So i have decided to backup all programs with titanium backup and when backuping was in progress the screen stuck/dies again.
3. I restart phone again in to bootloader (thinking it was something wrong with the rom) relock bootloader and instal stock ruu. And screen is steel dead. When the phone starts up only vibrates and you hear a boot sound from stock rom. And when i connect it to charger (switched off) it takes a few seconds before the LED turns red. Before that I think that is immediately activated (i'm just thinking).
So.. is the possibility that the screen died or is a mistake in the software?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe it overheate, because you used your phone while charging, my sister had a similar problem, the motherboard overheate or something,she then get a replacment. Or maybe u should try another battery, because when i had my previous phone the DHD i had similar problem,and after replacing the battery everything was OK. I hope you find a solution to your problem. One more guestion ,what Rom did you used when that problem occur.
I have used runny-bliss 1.2. I left device switched off whole night and nothing, it starts but screen is black. Why u think that it is battery?

Well i had similar problem with Desire HD. Tell me something else ,when you go to CWM ( if you can ) does the screen work then ?
No screen is dead, so i cant go to cwm. It is possible yes, but only pressing butons(vol. down + power) but no visible image/screen
The proof that cwm works is successfully locked BL and installed stock eu ruu (for warranty )
..so device starts normal when i push power button, stock boot sound plays, bottom buttons light up, but no picture
Yea it would be best to get it fixed.You wont missed anything here do.
I'll give the phone to the technician and i hope they will not see that device have been unlocked
interesting...but your phone start...so its not bricked...why so complicated..why you did not make a full wipe..also use the bindroid full wipe and flash the rom again..?
with kind regards
edit: sorry read all now..and see you can not get to cwm...but it load if you plug to charger..? mmmhhh...sounds like a display problem...but why..?

I was planning to do this after screen "died" first time, but when i run backup proces with titanium backup, the screen died again in the midle of backup proces so "I had hands tied". Since then the screen aint working. So only possible choice was pressing buttons to get into bootloader and lock it and install stock ruu.
Edit:
Dont know why the screen has died after device charged to 100%, some scroling in menu was procided, then htc boot logo appears (like device wants to restart, but ain't working). So i turned it off ( removed the battery) and turned it on again, then my non working screen story starts..

Sorry to hear about your phone. Mine died one day for no reason too. I managed to get mine replaced though. For the price tags. I think these phones should be better made. Maybe we should all.complain to HTC about the build quality of this device.

I hope for the best

So the device is back
The motherboard was changed.. So its possible that overclocking has killed motherboard, or what could be wrong here ?
I'm asking for further rooting and flashing roms and custom kernels.

hello all, so I've had my vivid for about 6 months now. it's unlocked, I just S-off'd it, the whole shabang. i've been flashing new roms and having some fun with it. last night I put a new rom on it and made sure everything was working, then i took it off the charger cause i was going out for a bit. the phone died (no big deal because i wasnt in the process of flashing or anything) but now it wont come back.
i put it on a wall charger and the orange light wont come on, the thing is legit dead. AT&T sent me a new battery that should get here tomorrow or tuesday. once i get that everything should be working right? or do i have bigger problems on my hands?
thanks a bunch

i have actually had it happen where i had to reflash recovery so it would charge when turned off. IDk how the hell recovery had anything to do with it charging when off but it fixed it....

well right now the phone wont even turn on. no recovery, no bootloader. once the battery comes i will make sure i am still unlocked and S-off, then reflash recovery and start from scratch rom and kernel wise
EDIT: it came on briefly then died. i'm convinced the battery is just toast

EDIT: well i unplugged it then plugged it back in and the screen came on slightly. it's still black but i can tell it's illuminated. i guess i'll just wait for tomorrow and hope that i'll be up and running again

thats exactly what mine did
If you search... You'll find a thread where they talk about this...
The recommendation was to plug it in... Wait for the orange led to stop flashing... Touch all the capacitive buttons... See if the light comes on... If not unplug and plug back it back in repeatedly until there is enough snot to keep it on...
And if you believe in god... Pray

Might not be good
If a charged battery does not bring it back to life, your phone might be toast. What you are describing is exactly the behavior I saw when my emmc chip went out on my first Vivid. JTAG would not talk to it either. No repair was possible short of changing the main board.
Hopefully, yours is just a charging issue. Good luck.
On the bright side, it might not have been anything you did. Mine died just as suddenly for no cause at all.
Alright
So I found out that its basically not fixable buuuut thank goodness it was time for an upgrade thanks for the help! long live the vivid! btw to everyone it was not a battery problem I had a spare battery that I tried anyways thanks thanks:highfive:
