Hi,
today my wings suddenly gets a white screen and now every time there is a white screen on my wings..
i tried a lot of things:
- remove battery
- remove/change sim and storage card
- HardSPL and new Rom
- the go into the extended boot mode (power+camara)
- the run the hard reset (power + two soft keys)
but every time the screen is white -.-
the only thing that works is the connection to the pc. there i can discover the files on the phone..
what can i do?
mike
:s
I did have that with my Oxygen (HTC s310) a little year ago.
But this was because I accidentally drop this phone.
In a phone store they told me that the hardware inside the phone was broken :s.
After a little insurance process I bought me a Wings.
Sow, I hope for you that there is an expert on this forum who can tell you that it is a software problem, but I'm afraid that it is a hardware problem.
I should call the HTC costumer service if I where you.
If you did not drop your phone, than you can use the guarantee.
Don't forget to revert your HSPL back up and than downgrade to the original wm6 rom before sending your phone back to the factory for the guarantee.
Good luck with it.
Greets,
Niels
ok, thank you for your post..
do you know where i can find the original rom?
yow,
ftp://84.255.212.134/download/HTC/Nadgradnje/S730/RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.1R_radio_sign_25.62.30.03_1.58.17.02_Ship.exe
Succes with it.
Did you have restore your HSPL?
what do you mean with restoring your HSPL?
Must I do this before override the phone with the original rom and how that works?
Thank you,
Michael
I'm not an expert with this.
What I thought was that before you send you're phone back to the factory for call on the guarantee, than you have to restore the hard SPL.
It is illegal to update you're phone with own brewed rom's. Before you can update with such illegal rom (e.g. Alcaline's rom) you have to replace the hard-SPL with another one, which is cracked. When you send your phone back to the factory they may be check the Hard SPL, if they do and you have an cracked SPL on your phone than they don't give you the guarantee.
If there is an expert on this forum who knows better, than please correct me.
ok...
i get no guarantee because i won this phone lottery.. so i have no bill...
are there any companies who can repair my phone.. or is this to much expensive?
Ow, that bad news for you.
I don't know in what country you live.
If I where you, I should google with the words: phone rapair shop / HTC repair shop / cellular repair / etc...
Than you can find out where you can bring you're phone or send it to and what it costs.
If you can't find any prices for repairing you're phone, you could always contact a suitable repair center, asking gives no obligations.
Succes with it.
btw, if I can give you a advice,
This is how I did it with my broken HTC S310 (there was also no guarantee for it):
I searched a friend who has got a good ''general liability insurance'' (if I translated that kind of insurance good :s).
I asked him for the favor if I could give him the blame for my broken phone, so that he could give it up to his insurance. We invented a story what was acceptable for the insurance.
If you do this, you have to be sure that it gives no adverse effects for you're friend on his costs for his insurance.
Maybe this could help you.
Succes
i understand... not bad idea
i will think about it.. thanks..
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 was running leaked version of UCKF1 2.3.3 then I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281221&page=1 so tried to flash it. I got an error of failing to upgrade and phone couldn't boot up. Then I tried heimdall one click unbricker and it worked. Then I decided to flash to stock and after odin said PASS the phone just died. It can't turn on.. no boot screen no nothing. I can't see anything moving or lighting on the phone. please help me recover the phone
It won't respond to any combos like "vol up + vol down + USB" or any others..
Search for Adam Outler's "Am I bricked?" Thread. Help you figure out where you are.
Did you you use 3 button fix jf6? If ya did you hard bricked.
Thanks for replies.
I'm hard bricked and as I get it the only solution is JTAG which is quite expensive and I'll have to send my phone to someone
Isn't there any other solutions? please help me..
Check out the UnBrickableMOD in the DEV section if sending the phone somewhere is not an option. High skill is still required but it's a good alternative if you know someone who is skilled with soldering.
I don't want to open my phone myself so I guess I'll have to send it to someone anyway.. If I use JTAG will my data be saved?
Don't pay for Jtag. Pay for Unbrickable mod. Easier to do AND you are for ever free of hard brcks.

The Linux/Ubuntu part isn't hard. Go to Ubuntu site, downloads, option 3 which is the wubi installer. If you get the windows no disc error, just keep clicking continue until the installer starts.
Thanks all.. I knew from the start of the thread that I had it hard bricked coz I have flashed all of the roms out there and soft bricked many times and fixed, so I have some experience in this.
The part I don't understand is that after I tried to flash to stock it died after that.. quite odd.. I think I'll go for unbrickable after all.. but in Georgia, where I live it's gonna be a pain to find someone able to do this neatly..
Thanks for all your support..
You can send it to adam (one of the people that worked on that) or Connexion (mobiletechvideos.com) Cost you some though.
It may just be a black screen brick, not a hard brick. Pull the battery, wait 2 minutes, replace battery. Use a jig, let it stay plugged in about 30 seconds. Hook up to Odin and see if it lights a com box. If it does, you can flash stock. If it doesn't, time to send it off. Last I heard, jtag was only about $50. Shipping I don't know about.
Of course I had tried pulling the battery and all the stuff that can be done to maintain the phone.. shipping is +20$ for international and add it the cost of shipping from here to USA.. helluva sum.. it goes like 100$.. so I left off my phone in the local "Samsung" service center. I doubt they can even handle it but at least I won't have to pay if they can't.. if they can though it'll cost around 40$ as they said. So wish me luck I guess..
UPDATE!
Hey all.. I just got my captivate from the samsung service center and it's working quite well thanks for your effort
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 .
Good luck hope you get it fixed .

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 !

Well I have contacted HTC and this was there response
"Dear My Name,
I am sorry to hear your device is no longer powering on after an update. I will be glad to assist you with this.
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.
If I have successfully answered your questions, I would like to invite you to participate in our customer satisfaction survey about your experience with HTC Technical Support. Corey, you will need to close your ticket with us and you should receive a pop-up asking if you would like to take the survey. To do this, please follow the link below to reply to this message and select "Close" next to "Action" to close out the ticket and the pop-up should appear asking you to take the survey. I hope you have a great week!
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 !
The phone was plugged in to my computer (I was doing development) and was running all the time. Suddenly, while I was not doing development or doing anything, the phone died and I have have never been able to turn it on again.
I've tried:
Hold the Power button
Hold both Power and Volume down button
Take out the battery and put it in again
Replace the batter with another one from my friends' working-perfectly-fine Galaxy S3
The result is the same: no response from the phone at all - it's completely cold, no sound, light or vibration at all - all I've seen is the blank unchanged screen so please don't ask me about the start up screen
What can I do?
*Notes: I've read this thread but my warranty has ran out so bringing it to Samsung is not really the best option.

If you are going to replacet the motherboard and use the same phone, your data should still be there.
If you are going to use a new phone, you have to take out the hard drive and connect to it to get the data from there.
There is no hard drive in the Galaxy S3, just an eMMC flash chip soldered to the motherboard.

Are you sure all people on this forum are developers? Also, just what kind of developers?
Again, my answer could be wrong but how can it cause problem for others?
Let's break it down:
I said data should not be lost after motherboard replacement
There is no action required here so how can it lead to anything harmful?
Last time I checked, the data in my S3 was still there after its motherboard was replace
Taking out the hard drive from the phone was the part I wasn't sure
As of now, I can see that it's apparently wrong as someone pointed out
However, if there is no hard drive ==> how can one take it out ==> how can one damage anything?
How can I be responsible for anything here?
What do say now Mr. smart developer?
Please provide something concrete and convincing.
Don't waste your time, don't waste mine
After checking my hard brick phone by a bestbuy technical, i was told my phone was totally dead. The phone wouldnt connect to PC, can't do power charge, no any response even the jig method. And the data is gone. However, I am not sure how the data backup works. maybe they just don't wanna do it or their lack of doing it.
Normally, the data recovery from damaged hardware is expensive. cause it need plenty of time and they probably think the customer wouldn't pay for that.
Directly replace a motherboard could cost less than repair it. In some cases, could even replace a new phone cost less than a new motherboard. Technically, backup data from hard brick phone could be possible.

Similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Mine turned off randomly and wouldn't turn on again for half a day each time. The last time it happened it wouldn't turn on for a day, so I tried the DOWNLOAD MODE combination, cancelled it, got prompted to RESTART PHONE then it turned on again.
I took in my phone directly to Samsung Customer Service in Albany, Auckland (for New Zealand people). They found that the "current was not stable" and all they had to do was replace the mainboard. It only took them half a day to repair and it was covered by warranty. He said the cost of the mainboard, outside of warranty, would cost around NZD $260.
Replacing mainboard shouldn't affect your memory but it is always best to back up your phone via Samsung Kies (or something similar) before taking it in for repair. According to the Samsung guy, in New Zealand, they are not legally allowed to back up a customer's data on any of their computers, but there is no harm in asking them if you trust them to do so.
Hope this helps

Replacing the main board replaces all data except the External SD-Card, as the EMMC is built onto the motherboard, they can always backup the /data over QPST, where it isn't readable by any program except that one.

If you are going to replacet the motherboard and use the same phone, your data should still be there.
If you are going to use a new phone, you have to take out the hard drive and connect to it to get the data from there.

If you replace the motherboard you are going to lose all your information. All the information its in the old motherboard so there is no way to save your data if your motherboard is replaced.
