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

Hi. Ok, first of all I have done some research on the forum, but I haven't really found any answer for my problem.
I have a Htc touch diamond. And I installed a rom from the forum, i beleive it was the "shine"-rom. However now i gets weird....
The day after, everything was normal, and then all of a sudden my backlight gets really dim. Ok, could be a small bug i thought.
A few hours later it got darker and it was hard to see what was on the display.
And later on the evening it got almost all black. I couldn't quite tell what was what on the display.
The next day, and still, its totally dead. There is no light in the "ring" when i plug in the charger, and i cant get it to show any life.
I have tried everything, left it in the charger for a whole day, swapped battery, reset, hard reset, super hard reset. left it without battery for a day. Nothing.
Help me out. Any ideas?
Ps. There is no warranty on the phone.
Thanks!!
Wow... have not seen this before...
Even now, are you unable to even switch on your diamond? If you can't, don't see any way to revive it. If you can, try to flash another ROM and see if it improves...
How?
How can I flash it again, if I cant even turn it on? hmmm....
Help
Nothing? No idea?
I opened it up, but that didn't shed any major light on the situation....

Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}
If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there

Nope. He can't even get it to turn on. Don't think it'll be able to boot into bootloader...

It just seems odd that bootloader won't even load. If it was something that damaged the OS then the BL should at least fire up. But, I just re-read everything again & see that there is no mention of Hard-SPL, so maybe it damaged the Boot sector as well.
If he didn't Hard_SPL then: This is a great example as to why you should always Hard-SPL before flashing anything.
If he did Hard_SPL: Then this is one for the medical journals {a disease that no-one's heard of & it's a killer}
Strange
Hi again.
I did actually Hard-Spl. And i have tried different ROM's earlier and I never had any problems.
I dont have a clue what to do, and without any warranty im basicly screwed.
I was thinkin, maybe I could get som spare part? Seeing how the "ring" doesn't even light up when I plug in the charger??
//
When my "ring" didn't light up I had to send the phone back to HTC and they changed the motherboard. Phone wasn't charging or turning on at all.
When I try to start my G1 the display just stays black, not the "stuck on g1 screen" problem, it stays black and it doesn't vibrate like it usually does when starting it.
What I did was rooting, changing recovery to amonra 1.7.0 and installing the spl_1_33_2003.zip spl update, the update was successfully as it restarted normally and started to boot. Then I wanted to get to the bootloader mode so I pulled the battery. Since then the only Reactions are the red LED when charging and the Blue LED when getting in this JTAG-Mode or whatever.
I couldn't find any thread about this problem and I already did this whole procedure on another G1 without any problems.
I really hope, that you can help me
you should have waited for it to boot before pulling the battery
it is a 2 stage install, first is preps , then it reboots and competes the flash
you have a brick now

You should not have pull the battery, that is a no no especially during the install.
Are you able to even go into any mode? IE: camera+power, etc...
Nope, no Mode works, tried every combination, it just wont start-.-

U definitely have a bricked G1.
Well if u can't get into recovery nor bootloader its a sure sign of a brick...
How charged was ur battery? My battery died one time and it wouldn't load up as well. It went from a full charge to nothing.. just a thought....
But try charging it and try to get back Into bootloader.. but don't rule anything out.
Will think more but keep us posted

Oh! Yea! Happens to mine last weekend. But mine was doing the splash screen loops.
Battery was about at 50%. Tried with another battery and everything's the same. Looks like I really bricked it-.-
Anyway, thanks for the help
Future reference when doing serious mods such as updating spl, radio always make sure you have a full charge as these things can drain ur battery pretty quick. And the last thing u want is for ur battery to die in the middle.....
Have u tried reformatting ur sdcard. ?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Why should I reformat it, it makes no difference at all if an sdcard is inside or not, and the sdcard is working without any problems
Weirld **** happens man, , just a simple question. Never hurts to explore all options.. I'm done good luck

It does, sometime SD Card get corrupted. And it will prevent your phone from booting up correctly especially when you SD to install your apps etc...
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!!

i have the same problem right now, phone was half charged i was taking a video at a concert and it froze, i took out the battery and get stuck at the logo! going today to see if its the battery
having a strange problem. was having a normal day with my phone, then at some point in the day I tried turning it on and nothing. No matter what I have done the screen just doesn't come on. Here are a ist of things I tried doing.
- Take batterry out for over a minute then try and turn it on. FAILED
- take battery out the plug phone into computer and turn it on. FAILED
- Tried to enter both recovery mode and download mode. FAILED
The phone simply does not respond to any button inputs. Have had the phone for almost a year and ZERO issues. Use the phone lightly and its in top condition.
Any help will be appreciated.
Try a different battery. You have rooted the phone? Give us more info about the phone like custom ROM and what do u suspect to be the probem.
Lorddeff have you heard of sds?

Yh, rooted and all that. Ben rooted from the first day I got it. Using philz safe kernel with the ultimate TW ROM. Never did any funky stuff on the phone. I'm pretty sure that its not from a battery cause I have two of those and I am sure its not from a bad flash or something. My last flash was over a month ago and the phone was working perfectly until it literally just stopped working like 5 mins after the last time I used it.

I have now... and thanks for that link. Looks promising. Though it means I would have to ship my phone out, which I guess is a lot better than doing nothing.
Alright so I just rooted this baby and I am so dumb I went and rooted it using Linux so I had to use these old youtube videos bcause there was no recent linux tuts so I went and used CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY xD my gawd I went and installed a custom rom and since I was S-On I flashed the boot and everything booted alright but then when I was loving my new custom rom I turned my phone off and I can't do ANYTHING nothing at all, when I plug in my phone no LED, cant go to bootloader, hboot, nothing, the odd thing is when I take out my battery for about 5 mins and put it back in and press the power button the screen lights up a little and looks a little greyish. Can anyone please solve my mistake? :crying: I need these done quick either tell me how to fix it or let me know if i'm done and need to get it repaired

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:
