Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:
If you can't get your phone to bootloader, recovery or os then your phone is bricked. You could hope its as simple as a bad battery but chances are you would need JTAG to get it running again and at that point you are best of just getting a new phone.
Sorry for the bad news

Hey guys,
after spending some time in the forum and not finding an answer to my problem I decided to ask you guys directly. So here is the situation I'm facing:
My girlfriends sister owns a S3 mini and it suddendly went dead. She tried to turn in on the other morning but there is nothing happening. No flashing of the screen, no sound, just plain dead. She did not install any custom roms or unlocked the bootloader or something. The phone is basically running with stock rom and there were no modification made.
So she asked me if I could help her with that.+
I tried then to enter download mode, as I read that that should be possible, but again nothin is happening. I tried to remove the battery for about 10 min and put it back in and tried charging it although the phone shows no sign that it is being charged when plugged in.
So this is when I started to search for similiar problems and found out that there is a problem with the S3 (not the mini) called "sudden death". but since I own a mini this seems impossible as well. Maybe you guys got an idea. Thanks in advance.
Oh and I tried a different battery as well. Nothing changed

Well you did virtually everything that I was going to say to you. So my opinion is that, your girlfriends sister phone is possessed by some demon or sh*t like that:laugh:
Bad news T T

I believed what you encounter with that s3 mini is called a "deadboot". Same thing happened to me when i was fixing a Samsung phone couple days ago with Bootloop problem, I flash the new firmware and the phone was fix then i was browsing the settings and poofed! just went off and won't turn on. I'm sorry to bring the bad news here , but she will have to visit a phone technician, it's a problem with the JTAG pads of the phone.

yeah well, I expected something like that. I'll tell her and she will have to sort that out by herself.
Thanks anyway for your help guys.
Hi
Im new here and first time on doing anything like this to a phone and would like some help.
Im having a problem with it which is one of the reasons why im here to fix it,
the phone goes to the htc boot screen and vibrates 7 times, im guessing its overheating from what iv read on here and the phone it self works if left off for while you can get the phone running normally but after approx 20mins of using the phone it reboots a few times then stays on the htc logo at vibrates 7 times. (my pc detects the phone normally and in usb mode just fine)
from what iv read the only way too fix this is to install a nodo rom but there are so many different ones i have no idea which ones i need to use
so any help here would be great
Hi guys, ive made an account on here just to ask this question as im stumped
So my phone, HTC Desire C was less than a year old, about 10 months, and it suddenly just stopped working. The phone does not charge or turn on. However, it has been recognized by Windows but has failed to install the drivers. Im quite a PC nerd so ive gone around the long way to install the drivers by hand, still nothing. The error that Windows displays is "This device cannot start"
The phone does not boot into bootloader by power on switch and volume down
The phone does not display the HTC logo when turning on
The phone is pretty much a mobile brick; useless
Ive tried:
Charging for hours on end
New charger kit
New battery
Everything to get this phone to turn on or even to open the root folders on Windows.
The phone is rooted but i cannot tell you anything specific. Ive forgotten what i done to it. I do know that no custom roms was on the phone.
Is there any way to get the phone to come back alive?
Also, ive contacted HTC by Email and they have said that I should bring it to them. However, the fees that it will cost will most likely be more than the phone by it self. Id rather try and fix it and save me some cash. The phone isnt important anyway, I rarely use it
Any help will be much appreciated

hey guys!
Unfortunately last night my rooted HTC 626 got a OTC update and after installing it the phone will not start back up. I tried some of the methods mentioned in the other threads but it still not turning on.
I tried connecting to the computer and trying to use the hard key reset, neither had no effects whatsoever, only the red light turns on at this point.
Does this mean my phone is Bricked ? and if so is there anyway to fix this?
I've only had it for like 2 months and I cant afford a new phone!! :crying:
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!

I have a similar problem but with HTC 620G dual sim.
I can't even find RUU for HTC 620G but the RUUs I've tried don't even seem to detect the phone.
