Hey guys I just put my g4 on the the charger (standard usb) and now my screen is totally unresponsive and will not come on at all even after battery pulls and trying to get in to recovery. What do I do? Also this device is only a day old in mint condition. (Sprint gave me another one after the recall.)
I'm having the same problem starting yesterday. Phone is two months old And had no problems up until now. The only problem I had was it was in a boot loop because of sprint connections optimizer and I solved it by just fore quitting the app. This time, I didn't see this application and now my phone won't boot at all, not even in recovery mode. Starting to get fed up with Sprint in general.

My Tilt (running the HTC ROM circa October-ish) won't turn on. It gets to the "smart mobility" screen and the R, G, D numbers pop up, but that's it. won't go past that.
tried with and without the SD and SIM cards and it changed nothing. doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.
when i go into diagnostics mode, it stops when the screen displays "serial."
i've had the phone for 6 months without any real problems before now and this just kind of came out of no where.
any ideas before i go take a ride to AT&T tomorrow? also, do they have the ability to read my contacts (possibly other data too) if they need to replace the phone?
Actually I have been having this same problem with a Vario III, its just started after 4 months of use, no problems at all, I switched batteries today to see if this makes any difference, it seems to as it came on ok, my problem seemed to be that when the battery power got to around 57-59% then it would switch off... would be difficult to switch back on... if the old battery (1600mAh) was at 100% it worked fine, if it was below 55% it also seemed to work fine... wierd...
Hi All,
While on a business trip last week, my Tilt 2 (at the time, running the April 14 Energy ROM), my phone--for lack of a better word--crashed on me.
Everything had been working fine, I was sitting there with my phone connected to my laptop via a USB cable, and out of the blue, for no apparent reason, my phone re-booted, and never came back up. It would get to the splash screen, start loading the OS, reboot mid-stream, and get stuck in a loop. Weirder still, if I pulled the battery, let the phone sit, then put the battery back in, hitting the power button did nothing--even with the phone plugged in to power. On top of that, even if the phone was off, after a few minutes, it would power itself back on randomly, and get stuck in the re-boot loop. Very weird.
So, when I got home, before heading to the AT&T store and asking for a replacement, I thought I'd try to restore the phone myself.
At first, I pulled the battery, then stuck it back in, and sat there holding the volume down button, waiting to put the phone into bootloader mode. That worked, but even in bootloader mode, it would randomly re-boot. So, I started the process again, and immediately plugged the phone into my computer while in bootloader mode and ran the Task 29 tool. That completed properly.
At this point, I popped in another battery I had laying around and just let the phone charge for a few hours. Then, for the heck of it, I re-ran the HardSPL tool. Re-Flashed to the .91 radio (it was already on the phone), and then flashed to the latest Energy ROM.
Since then, my phone has been better than ever. Seems faster, battery life is better (Went three days without having to charge it), no dropped calls, and no weirdness with the latest ROM (that I've found so far).
Does it pay to REALLY start fresh from time to time, and re-flash everything on the phone?
Thanks for any input.
I have no idea, but hopefully the WinMo experts will see this and have an idea, so here's a bump for you. Most of my computer expertise revolves around Unix, Linux, and a bit of Windows, not so much these phones.
I do know that task 29 is awesome, though. It seems like DBAN for your phone...
DBAN=Darik's Boot and Nuke. Look it up.
I don't know what happened with your phone, sounds like something broke in the area of booting.
I don't think you should need to re-flash HardSPL radios just for the sake of it, but I'd strongly recommend task29 every time you flash a new ROM.
bricked my TP2
My TP2 seems to have a similar problem which I haven't been able to fix it just yet. The bootloader reboot loop is too short to succesfully run task 29 and flashing it using the microSD gets stuck around 40%
during bootloader mode there's an unreadable errormessage since it's on the same line as some of the usual information.
any thoughts/suggestions would be very welcome since i can't afford to send it to the factory.
cheers.
Hey everyone,
I've been lurking here since I first got my G1 about a year ago, and so far have been able to find all the answers I've needed by the methods you all prefer (searching, scanning through threads, etc). This time, however, I think I should probably just ask directly.
I spent most of the last week on a vacation in Mexico. APNs were shut off by Quick Settings, and although the phone was on for most of the week I scarcely used it. Yesterday, I shut it off (or so I thought) as we were standing in line to board the plane, slipped it in my pocket, and forgot about it.
When we touched down, I pulled it back out to find that it had frozen on the "Powering off" screen. I forced it to reboot (End-Menu-Call) and got it to a power source as quickly as I could since sitting in my pocket with the display on for the duration of a 2 hour flight had pretty well killed the battery, but since then I haven't been able to get it to boot past the G1 logo.
It will boot into my bootloader (Amon-Ra 1.7.0), but nothing I do there seems to help, including re-flashing the CM 5.0.8 zip. I've avoided wiping to this point, just in case what's there can be salvaged (though at this point I'm not so hopeful).
Does anyone have any idea what may have happened or what a solution might look like?
Thanks,
Ryan
Basic Info:
HTC One phone purchased in Hong Kong through a relative, so no idea who the provider/brand it's RUU is under
Now running on T-Mobile network in Texas
Never had been tinkered with before (Rooting/Flash-ROM/etc.)
Never had issues with it aside from only getting 3G internet (had used 4G on previous phone, same plan)
This all started randomly earlier today when the phone was idling on the desk, I was going to check something but it won't respond. I didn't have any updates pending/installing and only had a game open. First idea was no power so I plugged it into the wall, but the charging light wasn't lit so I assumed a dead internal battery. After trying a few more times, it turned back on! But this time it gives me a black screen after the white screen with the HTC logo in the middle, and to further annoy me it keeps restarting and repeating this. I tried the Hboot screen via Power+DownVolume but none of the options worked.
I tried all the options:
Fastboot (Reboot + Reboot Hboot)
Recovery
Factory Reset
Nothing worked at all and I've already scanned the forums for something similar but nothing comes up. Someone please help me fix it, I need it for work and can't afford another day like this. T-Mobile guys were no help and Best Buy guys did no better. Thanks in advance for all the help!
Hello,
This is my last shot before buying a nokia lumia 930...
I bought a HTC one (m7) 2.6 years ago.
I was happy about it but the camera didnt work, had to send it in 4 times and atlast i received a replacement HTC one ( other color but hey it worked right).
the replacement phone is now 6 months old.
One week ago i had the constant boot loop problem ( Phone powers off, boot, htc logo, power off , boot , .... )
I already fixed this problem once 3 months ago and worked back fine for 3 more months until now.
All the backstory behind here comes the deal:
*Can only turn on phone while it is plugged into a pc
*when booted: crashes on setup, changing volume, refreshing blinkfeed
*if not plugged in => cant boot
*does crash at same time on boot ( if not plugged in) => looping
*tried 3 different roms, all the same problem
personally i think this is a hardware problem but i have no idea where to start ...
You guys have any tips, suggestions, experience with this abomination phone ?
ps. waranty expired cause its only the waranty of the phone when bought that counts
Sincere greetings,
Brock
