When you switch it on, Can you get the device into the bootloader?
Remove the battery (if you know that you had fastboot enabled) and then power on the device while holding the "volume down" button, what happens, does this work?
Daft question: but are you sure that there is any power in the battery? best to plug it into the mains charger just in case.

Strange one....
Just to establish base facts, I'm guessing that your phone was still running the ROM that you bought it with? and that you didn't root it and haven't made if S-OFF recently?
So ultimately you should still have a valid warranty? and if needed will at least be able to return it for service?

ya my phone is under warranty and i have not rooted it or applied any kind of mod whatsoever,, have done nothing other than few market apps..
its not responding at all...
will take it to service center tomorrow.. thanks...

Your problem sounds similar to this problem which also appeared to be caused by the market downloads and was discovered to be caused by a faulty eMMC chip, although with the users problem his phone would turn on - unlike yours...

Thanks it all seems so technical,, MY phone is not showing any sign of booting ,, not even a flash of light,,, i think it might be hard bricked d/t some hardware crash.. lets c what the service centre people say..

Wish you the best of luck with them

Dead Desire S - Any help?

Hi All,
My Desire S decided to die today for no apparent reason:
I had been browsing the internet before jumping in my car and switching on the bluetooth. I had been driving for about 10 mins when I got a call through on my cars bluetooth system, about 3 mins in to the call the caller disappeared even though the car said it was still connected.
I pulled over to check the phone and found it was frozen on the call screen. So I disconnected the battery and powered it up, but it could only get the the HTC splash and sound before the screen turned black and the unit became unresponsive.
A few more tries gave the same issue, so i decided to boot it into recovery to do a full wipe, this completed successfully, but the phone was still doing the same thing.
After removing the battery again the phone will now not turn on at all and does not respond to the charger (no led). I've tested another battery, but still no luck, and tried the bat from my DS in my sisters DS and it works fine.
So my phone is completely dead it seems. I should probably send it off to HTC for a repair, but the problem is that the phone is S-OFF and i have no way of getting it S-ON while it's bricked.
Can anybody suggest anything?
I'm not having much luck with HTC as my mozart is at the repair centre as we speak with a bootloader issue... I might have to choose another manufacturer in future
PS: It was S-OFF but running stock software

there is not much to say...try to remove battery and wait for a while...if issue still persist htc service is only hope

Thanks, i'll leave it overnight and see how it looks in the morning. Luckily i have an optimus one spare that has always served me well... It just does not come close to my DS.

I've just had a development!
When i plug it into my windows 7 pc it recognises it as a device "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but fails to install a driver for it.
Can anybody elaborate on what this is?
Thanks!

Afraid this is not good news...you'll need to reign the device and claim under warranty, I wouldn't worry of you made it soff they probably won't be able to tell, read the recent posts on the ext4 recovery thread as same thing happened to someone else
Sorry

Ok thanks for letting me know. I must remember not to customize my HTC's in future...

Is not customize`s fault is yours because you removed the battery when it was still working (freeze yes but chip is still working) :| How ben_pyett said you must send it to htc... there are similar posts around here and all removed the battery > htc service ...sry mate

Do you think the DS should always be turned off when changing the battery?

If you don't intend to buy new one, yea, it should be

Shame the manual doesn't say so then!

Well i've got it booked in for repair.
Has anybody here had many dealings with HTC Repair, or Regenersis (the UK repairer)?
The guy I spoke to over email (i got fed up of waiting on the phone) about my Desire S was a complete retard. He sent me the same email 3 times in reply to me telling me to restore factory settings... Each time I told him it was not possible as the phone would not switch on...
He then told me that UPS could not pick up my phone for at least 2 weeks, this is despite the fact that I sent my Mozart in for repair last week and was told at least 48 hours. So I would have to find my own way to post or courier it.
Then he books the phone in and sends me the 'Tick Sheet' with the phone information and problem description and in the problem description box he wrote "HELLO"??? WTF? What sort of jokers are these?
At least the woman I spoke to about my Mozart was helpful, she actually gave a meaningful response to my questions, but even she got the problem description wrong, writing just "Reboot Cycle" which is way to vague considering the problem it actually had.

[Q] Unable to boot HOX cause of hardware

Guys sorry for the off topic ,but i couldn't find users who opened the HOX before.I have a totally different problem.My phone keeps on rebooting and goes in a strange mode where i can't get it to boot with the power button.To make it boot i either have to squeeze the plastic shell on the phone or completely remove it.I am sure that some part of the hardware is getting squized. When i connect it to pc via usb it shows "qualcom download mode" or something.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.I am going to send it to HTC for repair if i don't figure it out!

Don't open it just send it to htc let them fix it for you

I've try to press power button for 2mnt or press power + vol down or both of vol button but no lock, the led just turn off but device wont turn on or vibrate..
anyone have a solution?? please... thanks

Charge it on laptop for a few hours, I remember there was a trick like this for the One X when I had a similar problem. Hold the power button and after 8-10 seconds the phone should vibrate. After a while when you plug it back, it should charge Then turn it on and try to get to fast-boot if possible... then do recovery from RUU if you cant get a rom installed from twrp....
By the way that is an x920e ROM are you sure your phone is not an x920d?

No, mine just shut off while I took an afternoon nap and this trick worked for a while eventually it couldn't detect even sdcard in CWM Recovery and TWRP. My phone had a fried mobo or corrupted custom firmware, not sure.... But that was just bad luck, because there was no RUU released at the time for my phone and after a few months I couldn't even boot it to confirm if it was hardware or not. I sold the One X to a friend as is, who got motherboard replaced for about a $100 and new imei but this was in India. Ironically the RUU was released around that time lol.
Anyhow others have done this trick and recovered this is a known problem with some One Xs', mostly happens when battery is too low.

Go to the International Model One X forum, there were a few people with similar problems I'm sure they can help as they have a bigger user base. Sometimes you have to hold the keys longer for it to turn on like 15-20 secs do this after charging for like a day or so.

When I was in India my friend went to a local store the guy changed the motherboard of the One X for about $120 instead of sending to HTC because if it's rooted and they find out they insist on replacing motherboard as it's their policy to have everything returned to default state before sending it back so even if you only have a battery problem they will charge to replace the motherboard.
I heard this on One X forums where a guy got charged for motherboard replacement because it was unlocked/rooted even though he sent to get screen replaced. Ask around if it is still true or if rules changed before you send it to HTC.

No, my friend didn't send to HTC as I said others had that experience, I think my friend's really had a motherboard/flash problem, but since bootloader unlocked warranty was void.
I hope you read the warning before you got the unlock token from HTCDev website, as soon as you accepted terms and got code I believe you voided your warranty.
Did you send your device? Because if you did they may have found out, otherwise they would replace it under warranty.

my HTC BUTTERFLY x920d is not getting switched on.. it was alright a min before ; and all of a sudden its not getting switched on .. the screen is showing no display n looks to be frozen(dead)..if I charge it there shows no light…please somebody help me in fixing the problem … thank you

[Q] I think I bricked my HTC One X

First of all, I have no idea if this is the right place to post this. I am very new to this.
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

You haven't bricked your phone, if it can power on at all it isn't bricked. Is it the HTC One X (Endeavoru) or the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita)?

I'm not quite sure, how do I know? Thanks though, puts my mind at ease that it isn't bricked. I can't turn it off now though, when I hold down the power button for a while the screen goes black, and then about 5 seconds later it goes back to the HTC boot screen.

How can you not know? If you don't even know which phone you have how do you know you're using the right exploits, ROMs, anything?
You're gonna need to get to the bootloader. Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a while the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader. Do not let go of the volume down button until you reach the bootloader.

Oh, it says it right there, alright. I didn't know because in most aspects I am just an average consumer, in the store the phone was called HTC One X and nothing more. But I see now in the bootloader that it's the Endeavoru.

In that case you're in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL / at&t One X forum, you need to go ask in the HTC One X forum.
