my htc 3g touch felt down when it was opened, battery removed and it turned off
now it cannot boot
when im turning it on it starts and after some seconds it restarts
any way for fixing it ? something like re-install windows without need to boot?
its fully unlocked
i have done hard reset but nothing happened
You can't reinstall windows without booting.
And i doubt that if it got bumped a fresh installation would help. I'm sorry.
Hello!
I have a problem with my HTC Vox (yes, there are still people who have one )
It started out with the display getting different colour tones as soon as i slided out the keypad too slowly.
One day however, the phone didn't boot up again, means, that the HTC logo shows, then the Windows Logo too, but suddenly it starts flackering and then it stays so.
I already tried the hard reboot and since Active Sync doesn't seem to recognize the phone anymore i'm really desperate about this. I hope somebody can help since I would love to keep that phone as long as possible!

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...
Have try to flash ruu

No, I haven't tried to flash any RUU, I'm on the original ROM.
No more frezes since last freeze last night an hour after i started this topic; I reinstalled some apps but not as much as before; hope I'm lucky and things stay like this....
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!
Removed. see duplicate post in more appropriately named thread [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036835&page=3"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036835&page=3[/URL]
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?
Apologies if this has been asked before but I have had a look through and although there are similar threads nothing is quite the same.
HTC Desire s
This is my sons phone and is contract Vodafone
He reported that the phone was freezing and turning itself off
I did a quick look up and found the factory reset tips so told him to do this.
Using the volume down and power button brought up the menu but not exactly as described as it had no erase data tag, it did however have a factory restore tag so he used this.
the phone shut down ok but then on restart just kept starting to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, made its jingle then displayed the vodafone screen, then after about five seconds turned itself off and then on then the same again. Not wishing to disturb the process and assuming it may do this a few times I told him just to leave it doing its thing. It continued to do this all night (12 hours).
In the end the battery was removed, reinserted then switched on. All looked good when the PAYG/contract screen came on and it proceeded through all the first time screens but then it froze, turned itself off and started doing the loop again with HTC quietly brilliant, then Vodafone then off.
this went on for ages, occasionally going as far as the phones home screen then repeating.
have now tried the factory reset again, taken out the SD card, removed the sim card and although it has slowed the process down it is still repeating and never going beyond the Vodafone symbol.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Many thank's Ian
Update to this, when the battery is removed and reinserted now without the SD and sim, the phone is turned on, it will go as far as the no sim inserted screen, if you then slide the bar down to unlock it goes to the White screen with HTC on then after a few minutes turns off, turns back on, does its jingle then Vodafone screen.
Please help as it appears my sons life has ended and the whole world has crashed.
Further update
Got message
the process com.htc.bg has stoped unexpectedly.
Does that mean no one can help?
Looks like time to send it back to the professionals.
Yesterday morning I was browsing my provider web page when suddenly the browser (the stock one) closed. So I tryed again and again the browser closes.
I cleared all the cache of the phone the restarted it (Full Restart).
Tryed again to use the browser, but again it closes then also the meteo live wallpaper crashed and closes!
Restarted again the phone and restored the meteo live wallpaper everything seemed to work fine again.
Later I was chatting with my wife using IM+ and again also that program syddenly closes then again the meteo live wallpaper, then all the sense restarted!
Again I tryed to do a Full Restart, but this time the phone remained for over 10 minutes with the HTC logo.
Removed the battery, restarted the phone... HTC logo loop restart!
At last, removed battery, volume down + on, factory restore...
Restarted the phone (without the SD card)... boot to the lock screen, trying to unlock... appears only the HTC logo and then it reboots.
Tryed, and tryed again and again, tryed the HTC Dev Unlock (I don't know why, but... )
Apparently doing nothing finally I got over the lock screen into the initial configuration procedure! But, during the procedure, the phone rebooted again!
Again I was be able to pass the lock screen, again went through the initial configuration process this time with success!
Then I was be able to reinstall all the app and reconfiggured the phone with no more reboots. and now the phone seems to be fine.
What could be happenend?
P.S.
Sorry for my poor english...
