Hello xda-developers,
Long version: I have a HTC Inspire 4G device, a month ago i was doing a phone call for at least 10 minutes (the only thing I remember when I made the phone-call the battery bar percentage was 29% (according to GO Power Master app)), The phone shut down suddenly without notice. I tried to turn it on, it wont turn on, i went back home and i put it for charging, the LED was working (I thought it's down because power is low), then when I tried to open it, the phone was stuck on the HTC Logo and keeps rebooting.. I kept the phone for 2 hours in that case rebooting and rebooting until i touched it to find it's overheated. I removed the charging cable, the battery. Since that time whenever I want to turn on the phone, it won't. I removed the battery for 3 weeks now and i put it back, nothing changed. + no orange LED when putting the charging cable + it doesn't get detected on my PC + it gets OVERHEATED every time when putting the charge cable without being able to turn it on.
TL;DR version: HTC Inspire 4G won't turn on, gets overheated when putting on charge + no orange (charging) LED +can't be detected on PC
I don't know what to do, please let me know if there is something I can fix, Thanks for your time.
UP Please.
Can someone tell me what to do, please?

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Last night I was using my phone happily as normal and as happens often when using a cooked ROM it hung on me. I was tired so I just hit the reset button, plugged it into the wall charger and went to sleep. This morning when I pick it up, it was quite warm to hold and wouldn't power on. If I plug it into power (both USB or wall charger) the orange light comes on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. I could get it into the boot loader screen (the four colour screen) and flash the ROM and radio no problems and without it turning off. but as soon as it restarts after installing the ROM or Radio, it shows the HTC splash screen for about 10 seconds and then turns off. I have tried doing the same with the battery taken out, but it does the same (turns off after 10 sec) and I tried (with the battery in) resetting it and then removing the power. When I do the last one, it powers off as soon as i take the cable out.
I can't think of anything else to try. It seems as soon as it starts to load the OS it powers off. Is it broken... like properly broken? did I do the wrong thing by leaving it plugged in while it restarted? Any one please help, I need my phone for work and I have no spare!
Thanks in advance,
J.
try installing official rom
tried 2 official ROMs and no luck. Same thing
looks like it is an HTC Touch Diamond2 for me then I hate money
are you flashing with sd card? if not try that method
the only way i can do that is by leaving it unplugged for 10-20 seconds then plugging it in to AC power. the orange light comes and I quickly hold camera and hit the reset button. It goes to the multi-coloured screen and flashes "no image file!" very fast, then goes to the serial mode. I am following the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384084 I have formatted the SD card and tried 2 ROMs numerous times. Looks like it's dead
It is strange that it will only turn on when it has just been plugged into power and not at all when unplugged. When I leave it in the multi-coloured screen on the AC charger, it gets very warm very quickly... that can't be good.
Amyway I've ordered a Diamond 2 through work, so hopefully i can stick it in a draw and forget about it.
maybe try the wizard service tool. I have one with the same problem. It could be also the battery.
So today, as i was on my way to work I accidentally held down the lockscreen button and the power menu popped up (I was on Glorious Overdoes V2) in the middle of a text and i pressed reboot accidentally... My phone never rebooted... It was stuck on the black Sidekick 4G/T-Mobile screen and then it would go black, then once again that screen would pop up... I removed the battery and put it back in, and without me pressing any buttons the same screen came back up... I let it sit for a while and after 20minutes nothing changed except the phone got really hot. Luckily I had my OLD Nokia in my car and popped my SIM card in it so that i could continue having a phone. I let The Sidekick sit for 4hours and it was extremely hot and then eventually it just turned off completely (Im assuming the battery drained, it was at 90% 4 hours before.) I got home, plugged it in and it wouldn't even turn on the charging screen. Somebody told me that my Motherboard is fried but I don't know. I called T-mobile and they're going to send me a new phone since it's still in the 1-year warranty period.
Anyone know if they're going to be able to inspect my old device and find out if i rooted/flashed it? because i can't get into it or anything to ODIN
I feel like they will try putting a new battery in it, and if it still wont turn on you should be fine.
It got hot because the CPU was churning over something and couldn't enter a low power state. I bet you could coax the phone into download mode and reflash it.
what do you mean coax the phone into download mode? by using the button combo to get it into download mode when turning on? I've tried that and it doesn't work. I tried rebooting into recovery and that wont work either. Also, it wont charge the battery anymore...
I've always had a hard time getting into download mode, and my phone works fine. I just spent 5 minutes trying different combinations until I got it.
I've heard people say trackpad-power button, volume down-home-power button, volume up/down-put battery in-plug in USB, etc etc etc. But the only method that works for me is to put in the battery, plug in the USB, wait for the charging screen, then hold volume down-trackpad-power, releasing power as soon as the screen goes black
You say your phone is turning on as soon as the battery is inserted? What if you have it plugged into USB first?
I had the exact same problem, I sent it into samsung and they just replaced a part(never told me which one) and it was fixed. I did noticed that when the sccreen was poped open to show the keyboard, it would stop. But it's probably a loose cable like I've read before.

Worst case scenario if you can't figure it out here on XDA, you could always sell it on eBay for parts as defective.
T-Mobile Sensation 4G. rooted, ICS (not exactly sure which version, likely custom)
I had a cracked screen, replaced it, ran into laggy screen problem but seemed to manage it for past few weeks.
Last night, battery ran out of juice. When I realized that, the screen is black but the bottom buttons r all lighted up in white. couldn't turn it off with the power button so I took the battery out. since then, pressing the power button will give me a phone that vibrates ONCE every 5-6 seconds. Nothing can change that state except taking out the battery.
I got home. plugging the phone into a desk charger (anker dock) and it starts giving me red light for a couple of seconds then darkness for 20sec then red light for 2s then darkness. plugging to the PC does the same thing.
I happen to have an extra battery (this seems to be the original one from HTC but kinda old). With this battery in, phone will only give me the black screen and vibrates and it will heats up a little bit when cable is plugged in.
I also check the voltage of both battery. original one (old from htc) gives 4.4v and aftermarket one (bought on ebay) gives 3.9v.
Vol.down + power button doesn't do anything. Computer won't recognize phone
Can any one please give me a hint of what's going on?
I also have this issue. Running CM9 Nightly 8-16. My battery was charging slowly, then the next day it was dead even though it was on charge overnight. I swapped batteries with another sensation ( I have 3 on my account ) and all I get is what the OP said. HELP PLEASE
Lol been way too long that I posted this. I ended up contacting HTC and they verified that I was still under warranty and fixed it for me. They even switch out the replacement screen and put in the original from htc-tmobile.
Hello guys.
I have my Sensation and I did (100% correctly) its S-OFF, I install the touch recovery which worked fine, I even try like 4 or 5 ROMs until I get to AOKP Build 40. Then one night suddendly my phone turned off, I've tried to wake it up powering on but it did like a small vibration and the screen did a small blink, so I think it was the battery with low charge. I put the phone to charge connecting the charger and sometimes I see the orange led static, sometimes it blinks, sometimes it turns off almost immediately and sometimes it get static in orange (charging) and in a while go to green (charged 100%). By pressing the power button just a few times I has powered on, sometimes it freezes in AOKP logo, sometimes it pass it, enter into Android and then freeze, but almost everytime it never powers on, it just make small vibrations like every 4 seconds until I put the battery off and when I connect it via USB sometimes the screen blinks like if my phone is trying to turn on but something is preventing from doing it. Right now the last time it turn on was like 2 days ago, from that day it just do what I've explained. I've tried to power it on, VolDown+Power, etc. and nothing.
Can anyone tell me what happened to this phone? Some people told me is a software matter, some tells me is the battery. The thing is I have no idea what it is.
I have used XDA and Google like a demon and nothing. That's when I do the thing I hate the most: Make a thread.
Please help me on this, I need that phone returned from the state it is right now.
Thank you so much for reading me.
Best regards.
can you boot to recovery?
Is it a stock battery or anker battery? Sometimes the battery doesn't sit tightly on the contacts, place some paper between the top of the battery and the housing. I have never heard of your problem before but I have dealt with bad contacts and they have some similarities.

Hello All, My S3 will not do anything, Wont boot to diddely squat!! A few days ago I got home from work and I plugged it in as i do before I went to bed. When I woke up I checked my phone for msg's etc. and nothing SO I thought the charger had become unplugged (its happened before so I wnet downstairs and plugged it in to an alternate charger and nothing!! no Battery icon, when I press the power button no Samsung logo no LED indication, Thought maybe the battery was bad, tried the wife's, same thing. Took the batter out, let it set over night, Nothing!! I now get a red LED indicator when I plug it in which goes away after a minute or so. When I plug it into my computer, the computer regonizes that something plugged in but won't recognize it as a phone or any specific device.
I was running CM 10. the latest release version, and hadn't changed in a few weeks.
Any help???
