I was using my phone today and put it in the pocket of my jacket. An hour or so later when i took it out it was off. When i tried to turn it back on it just stuck on the first SFR splashscreen and has never moved past it. I've tried removing the battery, removing the SD card, hard reset ,removing the Sim card, removing the battery but with the power cable. None of which worked.
No New software installed recently.
Any Ideas anyone?
Any suggestions very much appreciated
Hey
I had this problem a while ago
I tried everything tooo, in the end I just had to put it in to bootloader mode (sorry i cant remember the keypress)
and reflash it, someone said afterwards that something had probably corrupted my rom
hope this helps
hold the cammera button pressed and plug in the usbcord!
If u have memory card..just remove it and then restart again..it ll work...i had the same prob...it had worked for me
The problem is the following: suddenly the device froze, and I waited quite alot before pulling out the battery. After that it would not start: it showed the HTC logo, over a white background, then, a black background with a sound and that was it.
I triede to reset it contless times withh no succes.
So I went into bootloader and made a factory reset, it worked but again the phone froze completely. What do I do now?
Edit - new info: now sometimes it starts after it freezes, and sometimes I have to pull out the battery, something is definetely wrong here...

Anyone else had problems similar to this?

Exactly the same thing happened to mine this morning - it froze during normal operation (after six weeks of perfect use) I had no response to hardware buttons or screen touches so I was forced to remove the battery in order to reboot it.
It then would boot but each time would stick at the white htc logo screen and then the screen would timeout.
I was dreading that I'd have to try a hard reset just after I'd finally set the phone up as I like it.
so I removed the sd card from the device and rebooted by removing the battery once again
the device then booted normally, so I did a controlled power off, replaced the sd card and it booted fine.
Thankfully all fine so far (two hours later) fingers crossed.
The application that I was using when the device hung was a streaming digital radio apps that was located on the sd card.

The absolutely same symptoms. DS hangs installing new app. Has carried it in service-center. Now I wait for diagnostics results
Did you try to remove the sd card?

For sure.
After the first hangup I have taken out the battery. Then DS hung again showing the HTC logo, over a white background. Then SIM has been removed. SIM were the first suspect. At the very first day of owning DS I have been forced to get new SIM card from mobile provider. Previous card was quite new, only one year old and works normally in Xperia X1i and other phones, but doesn't recognized in DS).
Finally, when I delivered phone in service-center, it was without the SIM and without SDHC cards, but all problems were the same.
Dare I ask was what was the application that you installed?

ReadItLater, but I think that it is simple coincidence. Phone wasn't started even when I managed to make factory reset (Volume Down+Power). After that phone wasn't launched any more.
Needed Hard Reset!

Removing both cards solved it for me today
The frequency of the reboots on mine increased and today it crashed. Hard reset brings it to the white screen + htc logo but no further.
Tried with and without SIM Card, with and without SD card. The only way it will get past the white screen is with both cards removed but then of course, you get to the screen where it tells you to take insert a SIM Card. Doing so, turns the phone off again, but then (for me at least), it was OK to carry on with setting up the phone....which I am now doing...hope this isn't going to be a regular feature.
So far I've only got the stock ROM and nothing clever on it.

Blimey, thats doesn't sound good
This is the point where I had to perform my first hard reset to re-enable the device.
How many times has this happened to you now and in what timeframe? have you had to do a hard reset before now?
I'd consider getting a new replacement SIM card and even using a different SD card, just so that you can rule them both out of causing the problem and if it happens again then return the device and be confident that its at fault!
If you return the device currently the shop's bound to say that the problem is with SIM and/or SD!
I've had it about 2 months and the involuntary reboots must have happened about 8-10 times starting in a about week 2. A sort of partial reset happened about a week ago (wallpapers and app short cuts disappeared). Then the phone crashed today while dialling into voice mail (Vodafine UK), and rebooted into a black home screen that would report a com.<whatever> error if I tried to get into the settings, or run anything. It would let me power off, but the only way to invoke the hard reset was vol key down when powering up
Today has received the answer from the service center.
They didn't name the reason, but have told that it is a guarantee case. Have suggested to replace the motherboard.

did you flash a ROM? which one? did you wipe the phones partitions before the ROM flash via recovery?
Hello good people
Firstly, i want to say that i searched the forum for this and i couldn't find an answer or a solution to my problem. So here it is:
I have a SGS Plus I9001 which cannot stay ON more than 1 sec. I turn on the phone, all the logos and texts pass, but when the menu shows, after 1-2 seconds the phone turns off completly or restarts itself. I have a long hisoty with my phone however :cyclops: I used a normal 2.3.6 android and then switched to CyanogenMod 10.1. It worked just fine. I was very, very happy with it. One night i left the phone charging and when i woke up in the morning, the phone was dead. Completly DEAD! Services change the whole motherboard and the phone worked just fine for about 1-2 hours and then this happened. I opened it up and saw that the motherboard shows "SGH-T959". I tried installing stock roms, different versions of Cyanogen and Kernels but nothing can turn on the phone and make it work. It just restarts itself. The only thing i ave managed to install via Odin is CWM Recovery.. However, my knowledge of this is limited so here i am seeking for your assistance
PS. I tried changing the power button but no luck.. still the same..
If anyone is interested in this problem, please post an answer or question (if you need more information)..
Thank you!

Hello everybody,
recently my brother's Nexus S started having problems. The battery life was awful and 4 days ago the power button stopped working. We were out, so i disabled the lockscreen. That way pressing the volume button would turn the screen on. This "trick" worked quite fine until yesterday, when the phone shut off, I don't know why (maybe the battery went out?). I tried to turn it on again, but there was no sign of life whatsoever. Not even volumeup+power button produced any effect. I then read on this forum and it looked like the motherboard is gone. Thinking that the phone was gone, I searched a way to recover photos and text messages from the phone(always remember to set a periodic backup). After a couple hours of pointless research, I gave up and went to sleep. I turned off the lights and I saw a flash. It was the Nexus S. So I filmed it and uploaded to youtube. Here's the link: http: // youtu.be/oGSVjElAwq0 (remove spaces) You can see the screen blinking a couple times(around 0:07 and 0:27). Maybe the phone is not completely dead and there is a way to recover that files or even save the device. Unfortunately I'm not expert, so I don't know how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. A big thanks in advance.

Hi, please try to answer these questions. Might help solve your problem.
When you plug the phone in, do the capacitive buttons light up?
Does your phone get recognized on your PC when you plug it in via usb?
Are you 100% sure this is not just a battery issue?
Hi, thanks for your time
-No, the buttons do not light up.
-No, the phone does not get recognized by the computer(i tried Windows and Ubuntu)
-I can't exclude a battery problem, but ,even that, it should power up when connected, shouldn't it?
Guys,
I have a OPO 64gb which is in Dead State (Hard-bricked) currently.
It doesn't switch on. Nothing comes up on the screen after pressing Power button. Can't even go to Recovery Screen or Download Screen. No display, no logo, no vibration. I even tried it after keeping it for charging overnight.
This happened after my cousin tried to flash something (I have no idea what he was doing).
I have gone through many thread on this and various other forums which gives solution of Unbricking the phone. However none of them helped, because my case is a little different.
In all those Recovery procedures, it is mentioned to connect the phone to PC and press Vol Up + Power button. When I connect the OPO to PC, it is not detected at all. Even it doesn't show up in the Device Manager (no QHSUSB_BULK, as many mentioned). There is absolutely nothing which indicates that the phone is connected to PC. This is were I get stuck because I don't know what needs to be done from here.
Has anyone ever faced such an issue? How to I bring back the OPO back to life from this state? Is there a solution to this?
Please help!
