Check the Desire C forums for installing drivers on anything on Windows 7 upwards, or if available use Windows XP
Have you tried to enter recovery/boot?
Hold Volume- and Power button and you should get some feedback (either it enters boot or nothing will show up)
If there's no response try without the battery in and plug in USB, even that I think should get some response, if not try key press and then plug into USB (plugging USB in first will try to charge battery immediately and ignore expresses)
LED doesn't really show up much even when charging, I think I've seen mine lit 2-3 times.

I did try with battery in but didn't work so will try it without

Tried all three ways and all possible way you can do it but after pressing volume down and power button. It hasn't shown anything? Do you think its a new battery? I'd rather not spend the money to buy one but if that's the only other way.

If there's no response trying to get any response (even just using No Battery, USB and power on) then it's probably damaged or bricked, take it back because it'll be the unit itself not the battery

Before you said I bought a new battery and found out today it didn't work. Is there anyway I can fix it because I'd love to start using the HTC Desire C? Hope someone can help. Thanks

I wouldn't even consider it unless you have the use of JTAG and a fair bit of programming/electronics knowledge and to be honest, if it's not at least lighting the screen OR vibrating when it boots up (if it does boot at all ) I'd stick with taking it back and getting your money back, it could cost you more fixing it than getting a working second hand unit

Ok thanks for your help, I'll have to try and take it back. Thanks

[Q] My HTC incredible s not turning on!

I got my HTC incredible s on jan. It's untouched (NOT ROOTED, BOOT MANAGER-LOCKED, etc).
My phone was working fine. But, yesterday night suddenly my phone crashed. So, i had to pull my battery and then switched it on. It crashed again on the HTC letters. So, i thought of repeating the same. I did and i found the same. So, i factory reset using the boot manager. But, THAT's IT. When i was entering the setup it crashed and then never turned on. It vibrated around 7 times and screen didn't turn on.
I thought the battery drained. So, i put it in charge. But, the light didn't glow. Any idea of what happened to my phone? Also, i own a gsm. So, no connection between my phone and my carrier.
Thank in advance

Thanks for the reply. But, i didn't find any topics that helps to turn it off. I mean for the untouched and unrooted mobiles. Can you please post the links? Coz, i'm just a newbie to android. I don't know whether the patches will work if i copy to memory card.
You should sent the Device to HTC, you will get a new one.

Dead desireC (stock)

Hi,
I've been flashing a wildfire and hox for a while, having said that I'm no dev.
Last night my wife's phone went off and wouldn't come back on. The battery charge screen comes on but that's it.
It has not been rooted or played with in anyway shape or form, it is as it came out the box.
I've tried to enter the bootloader by pressing vol- and power button (as is done on the wildfire and hox) but nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

Try replacing the battery, it might be dead

Thanks for the reply m8,
battery was charging wen it went off, buzzed then dead. But battery charging screen comes on wen its plugged in and says its at 100%. I've tried going into bootloader from the battery screen but nothing happens.
Wouldn't really mind, yes pain in the arse but we'd just take it bak to 3 n get them to fix it but she cracked the screen in her bag the 1st wk she got it n they'll only say it was that lol that's service for you!

Well, if its stock and not rooted, you should take it to the shop, its worth a shot

Will probably end up doing that.
It'll take a wk to get a battery off ebay, I'll pop it in the shop on Monday.

Have you flashed something?
Is the phone rooted?
Did you try to boot to bootloader?

nope. the phone is just swithced off and dont want to come alive again. i dont have any idea whats gonna happens. is there any chance to try to get it alive again?
Have you tried to remove the battery, then plug in the usb cable connected at the computer?
I don't know if it helps... If it doesn't, try to turn on your phone into bootloader (vol - + power button together)
Anyway, how did it shutdown the last time?

Can be a problem with the battery

broken connector

As you can see, the connector on the right is broken. What part should be replaced?
I bought this because another connector from the glass was broken, too.

That appears to be for the LCD, so you will need both your new digitizer and new LCD
That being said I believe there are two different LCDs for this phone and they aren't 100% compatible so make sure you get the right one.
Not having done this my self on this phone (but on many others) I can't say for sure what to look for but I believe there was an amoled and LCD variant and the sticker on the screen should indicate which one to get. But I suggest to Google for your answer

Would that be the correct LCD?

If you can get into fastboot still, which I would assume if you put together the phone while broken this is still possible run
fastboot getvar all
And check your microp version

Does charge. Red to yellow to green. Still no response.
Did your power button work before all this? Have you tried the battery trick to turn it on? Search "broken power button" here and you will learn how to boot it without power button
Then just get adb and fastboot to work and you'll be fine

Ok, got it. I did the batter trick and the menu lights and track led turned on and felt the vibration. My computer also recognized the phone and installed the drivers automatically. However the screen has been black all the time.
Good now setup adb/fastboot on PC if you haven't already, you need to get phone into bootloader and run some commands from PC
fastboot getvar all
Then you will know what screen to buy

Nexus 6 won't turn on

So I have an opportunity to trade my droid turbo for a nexus 6, which is what I've been trying to do for a min. I found one that is in perfect condition, but it will not turn on. The seller says that the green light will blink a few times when he plugs in the charger, and then it stops and that's it. He said the battery died and couldnt get it to turn back on after that. Phone is just over a month old and he hasn't done any troubleshooting. He already ordered a replacement and isn't worried about trying to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? I'd really like to make the trade but don't wanna be stuck with a broken phone. Thanks for any input!

Sounds like a horrible idea. Did he root it and enable the LED? Because the LED doesn't work out if the box. Sounds like he messed it up to me. Have him try to force it into recovery via Volume down and Power.

I tried having him do that, said it didn't work. So there's no battery light that works out the box?

Correct. No external LED works out of the box. You can enable it, as I and plenty of others have done via threads here, but it sounds fishy.

Is it possible the phone is bricked? Seems like there should be a way to get it turned on, especially with some "sign" of life with the green light. I guess it's hard to say without the device in front of me.

The led does work out of the box.... And that is the only time it does work when the battery is dead and it should be red when charging when battery is 0% etc ... That is when led was designed to work with nexus when battery didn't have enough juice to boot but to show it's charging etc

Ok...after charging for an hr, should he leave it plugged in or unplug before trying to get into bootloader?

I usually unplug before booting into bootloader.
Also, if you haven't already, have him look in a very well lit area for cracks in the LCD underneath the glass. They may be hard to spot, I've seen some only a few cm long black out a whole lcd. It may even just look like a piece of hair under the glass.
So he plugged in for an hour n still nothing. He did say that the led didn't flash this time so he thinks it may have charged. I dunno, it's gotta be something stupid. I'd really like to get the nexus 6, just don't wanna be stuck without a phone if I can't fix it.

Another thing that's enticing is it's the 64 GB model. He isn't really in a rush to sell, just got his replacement today, n he's been trying to help me out since I contacted him first. He says he does have a cash offer though.
