[Q] HTC Velocity dead?

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

Sensation XL dead? [Alive 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.

[Q] Phone wont boot, battery issues?

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

[Q] Hard-Bricked G1

Hi there,
I fear I hard bricked my G1 (after long years of good service as gps device thanks to a 2600mAh battery).
Since it was quite slow on CM7, I downgraded it to CM6.1. But this would'nt boot. (boot loop)
So I did a bit of reading and decided to downgrade the radio too. I downloaded a flashable zip and flashed it the usual way in the CWM recovery - which didn't finish (after a few minutes), so I removed the battery.
Since then my G1 wont start any more. On top of that, it want event charge. If I try to charge it the status led wont event light up. (I already tried it with two different batteries, both yield the same results.)
Funny thing though: If I don't charge it and let it sit for a few hours, the status LED very shortly lights up when pressing the power button. (But other than this nothing happens and if I press the power button again shortly after the LED stays dead.)
So ... I fear the problem is hardware and not software related.
Does anybody have an idea what could be broken (software or hardware) and if it's software based if there's a way to revive my phone?
(Before anybody asks ... yes, I have newer android phones, but I really live my G1 for nostalgic value so if there a way to get it running again I definitely would try.)
thx a lot,
Bapf

Sounds like you need JTAG, and don't take this the wrong way, but flashing firmware isn't the usual way, its the way you brick your phone. If possible always use fast boot to flash firmware or you are asking for a brick.
You can buy the JTAG equipment yourself and the software is free. Or you can see if you can find someone locally to do it. Unless you have a particular sentimental value to this phone it maybe cheaper to buy a new one.... Sorry for bad news

Bricked G1 - Try Again w/ SIM Card IN!
I had the exact symptoms mentioned in this post - tried nearly everything until I finally put back in the SIM card (even through I don't have T-Mobile anymore) - it booted again and registers the AC adapter and/or USB cable. Hope this helps some who are struggling at this level as I did!!

I don't know if this will work,as I've never encountered a situation such as this, but have you tried bootloader(power button+camera button)?
If you can get it into bootloader, then I have the original rc29 DREAIMG.NBH file(plus, rc29 is the best place to start if you want to root it or install a custom rom).If you get it working and just want stock 1.6, i have those updates as well.
(all said out of hope, I have a g1 and I love it,I'm really glad that someone else shares my enthusiasm!!)
If bootloader works, give me your email and i'll send you the files, good luck!:fingers-crossed:

Nope. It won't even start the bootloader.

[Q] HTC One Mini 2 Freeze in Charge-Screen

Hey Guys
Hope, some of you can help me. The problem is:
i bought a new HTC One Mini 2. Cause i had a Cyanogen 10.1 on my previous phone, i thought, that i should install a new CyanogenMod for this phone again. So i unlocked und flashed the Phone. As custom recovery i used TWRP 2.8.5.0... Found that one here in a Thread. After i flashed cm-12-20150411-NIGHTLY-memul.zip on it. After all, i started my phone again and all worked fine. i thought....
So yesterday i powered off my phone, plugged it to the charging-cable and went to sleep. In the morning i got up, picked my phone and wanted to turn it on. What i saw, was the charging screen, blink led is standing on orange and thats it. Cant power it off again, cant boot to recovery... nothing...
And the point is, i dont have the ultilities and the skill to open the phone and remove the battery to see, if that is the problem.
Do you have any ideas for that?? Thanks for leave an answer

lol

I works again. was some buggy thing, i guess. A friend took my phone, did same combination that i did to boot in recovery mode and BOOM it reboots and work properly. So, i can't tell u a real solutions, but if you got same problem, keep trying with the POWER-Button and the VOLUME_DOWN-Button. Worked in my case.
Thread can get closed.

What he did was a hard reboot, accomplished by holding the power and vol-up buttons for about 10 seconds. Just wanted to add this.

Hey guys,
any solution to this problem??
Got the same issue. unlocked bootloader with htcdev, installed TWRP Recovery and rooted phone, everything worked fine yesterday.
Today I installed xposed framework, then I plugged-in the charging cable and turned off the phone because I wanted to flash xposed in Recovery. But when the phone turned off, it only showed the charging screen with the message ("This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.") and didn't react to any button pressings until the battery finally died.
Then I plugged in charging cable again. Now I have again the charging screen, only difference is that the LED doesn't flash permanently but it now blinks. Computer recognizes phone but I can't send fastboot commands since it is turned off.
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: After a lot of tries, I finally also managed to fix it with 10 seconds power + volume up....
