My hd has suddenly gone dead. The battery light does not turn on even if plugged in. I have tried to reset while plugged in but nothing happens. Connecting to the pc also doesn't help. Also tried to put it into bootloader without success. This does not feel good. Any ideas what might be the problem?
might be the usb connection. could be loose or bad
Have you tried to remove the battery, and put it back in..had a littel problem like (during unlock) that would turn on, removed the battery for 10s and put it back in and it turn on.

HI Bro Iknow ur pain, this happen to my diamond also, one day just didnt turn on after unplug from my vista machine. Only thing I could think of is that maybe there was a short circuit somewhere between pluging to the computer with usb.
You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately

The problem is that I have installed a custom rom...and no way of reverting to original...does this void my guarantee?
Came back ...for now

I tried this and it magically came back. The strange thing is that I had been taking the battery out and putting it back in many times ...but perhaps I had not left the battery out long enough.
The battery also seems full which is kind of strange since I had been using the phone all day without charging.
In any case, I will leave it charging over night and report back tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!

You'd better reflash a stock ROM and keep it for a while until you are reasonably sure that it was just a case and won't happen again.

Hi again,
I am also trying to use the same soft, but no luck... could you please, eventually by PM, tell me the steps that worked for you?
And it can be in Portuguese... ; )

Dead again
Well...it did happen again. This morning I found it dead again while plugged in. Unfortunately, I did not reflash it to stock rom. I can now only hope that I get a second chance to reflash before sending it off. Any other ideas are welcome.......

Looks like my hd has to take a trip to the factory.
Quick question: since I didn't manage to revert to initial rom does anyone know what the policy is on repairing an htc with custom rom?
That is indeed unfortunate...
What custom ROM have you installed? Have you checked in the thread if someone else had similar issues? And have you installed any particular program?
Also, you had no such issues while you were on the original ROM?
If you have this type of issues, trying to flash a stock ROM without being sure about the cause for the issues might be a little dangerous... There would be, I suppose, the risk that something might go wrong during the flashing process. And you would risk having a lovely brick...
Regards,
P.
I have installed Panosha's light version. No one else seems to be having this problem. Is there a chance that the battery is faulty? Can I have it repaired even though it has a custom rom installed?
Hi,
It might be a problem with the battery, but you could only try this possibility if you used other HD... by the way you have been using the wall charger or the usb cable attached to the PC?
Regarding the possiblity of having it repaired, under warranty, it could depend on the repairer itself. At the limit they could refuse to repair it under warranty, because a non-official ROM has been installed, and, specially, because a non-original HSPL is in place... but they could also overlook this, or do not notice it.
I would make sure it can not be "ressurected" and properly flashed before going to HTC service.

I have tried several times to resurrect it without success. On one ocassion I had the power light turn on for about 2 seconds then dead again. The only thing I have not tried is to try another battery. I will probably find one by tomorrow to test. Otherwise on Friday it will head to the repair shop...and fingers crossed. I will let you know what the repair policy seems to be here in Greece.

Your phone is not broken!
Duttys ROM does not have this problem. I have had the same with Panosha's ROM and with Touch of HD ROM. The screen goes black and only removing the battery brings it back.

I wish this were the case, but even after removing the battery I cannot get it to function. Even when plugged into an outlet the power light does not turn on, so it's clearly more than a blank screen.
Has anyone ever had any issues with the backlight on the Hero?
Lately, sometimes, when I turn my phone on or something, it's as if there is no screen at all. It stays black, eventhough I know that the OS is running. I've even tried rebooting, taking out the battery, etc... I can tell it's booting normally because it does the little vibrate, and then vibrates once the OS is fully loaded, etc... cept, when this is occuring, I cannot see anyting on the screen. If I tilt it just right, I can JUST BARELY see the outline of a window or something (whatever is up on the screen at that time). Then after dealing with this issue for a couple of minutes, and rebooting a few times, it works itself out.
I'm thinking I'm starting to have some type of hardware failure, but really don't want that, because I'm due to upgrade to the EVO here in about a month and don't want a stupid replacement just so I can go buy a new phone a month later, ya know? Anyway, wondered if anyone has had the issue before and what, if anything, they may know to do to fix it.
Thanks guys!
Yes I get the same issue off and on. I think it has to do with CM6 and the brightness settings. Not sure though.
For some reason when I flash CM6 it sets the Automatically Adjust Backlight setting to be off. I figured it was just the nature of the rom, so everytime I flash a new one, I go and turn it on in Display settings.

No man, I'm saying, even when I first turn on my phone, I dont even see the white HTC screen. It's completely black, but vibrates like normal when I press the power button to initially turn it on. It's fukd I'm pretty sure. I can't see a thing on it, not even in recovery. It's completely black, but vibrates at the correct times it should vibrate (when I first press power button to turn on, when the rom initially boots up, etc...)
I'm thinking my hero is dead....
I only had a little less than a month to go before I could get an EVO too.... damn phone.
Have you done any damage to it? Sprint might replace it for free.

Nope, I didn't do anything to it... unfortunately, I'm stuck with CM6 installed on it, because I can't see it to be able to switch back to the stock ruu... LoL
so I hope they don't notice and then say, well, too bad, u'r screwed because u rooted u'r phone. But no, my phone is still immaculate except the 'End' key is chipping off (the paint). That's about it
I'm hoping maybe they'll let me just upgrade to the EVO since I'm due in about a month anyway. I doubt it, but even if they give me a replacement (a new one) then I'd be okay with that.
Welp, they ended up replacing my phone with a replacement (refurbed) Hero... I pretty sure this one is 99% new though, not a single problem aesthetically and it seems to be running froyo quite smoothly. It basically feels like a brand new phone (which according to Sprint Reps, there's an 80% chance of getting a new replacement and 20% chance of getting a used replacement). I'm thinking I'm in the 80% range
Very happy thus far... just my touch screen is a little quirky right now b/c I installed a clear screen protector and believe some of the moisture is interfering with touches... which has been getting better as the hours go on. So that's' good!
Thanks guys on the info.... It's just fine for getting me through until Sept. 15th so I can upgrade meself on the EVO!!!!
We shall see if it holds up until then
Take ya'lls and thanks for all the replies
You should get the epic instead. Lol

Hello,
my Optimus 2X (Speed) is going crazy. It opens apps on its own. When I try to scroll trough my contacts or my emails, the phone vibrates and does scroll on its own, and clicks randomly. So it is not possible, to use it at the moment. It seems like someone else is controlling the phone
I tried factory reset, full wipe, Modaco rom, Cyanogen Mod and Stock Rom. In all theses roms the (problem) behaviour is the same. I also tried different baseband versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or a simular?
Thank you for your help,
Hans
ps: This forum is great and i got a lot of help and knowhow just by reading passiv for 2 months.
i think your display is now wrong calibrated or damaged
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to re-calibrate the touchscreen?
Hans
i dont know definitly, my last phone had the same problem and it was not possible
I had the same problem when connected to hdmi. And yes when i touch the screen the wrong position is clicked. I brought to LG service center and they flashed the ROM and after that everything was much better. There's problem occasionally but most of the time it's ok. Not sure if it helps.
If the capacitive layer of the screen hasn't been damaged, then perhaps a hard reset would clear up any issues?
With the phone off, hold down Volume down + power to do a hard reset.
It'll wipe everything on the phone, but perhaps the last option barring reflashing the phone with new firmware.
use your warranty.

Thank you for your answers. I did flash different roms and did hard resets. But the problem was the same.
So I think I have to make use of the warranty.
Me and my brother got the same problem when connecting to our 19 Philips tv via hdmi, but a 40 samsung works fine. The phone is going most crazy when holding it in my hand, when I put it on a plane surface it almost stops with all the wierd behaviors, but it's damn slow. He got an original rom and I got a Modaco rom. So is it software or harware problems? The hdmi-output seems to be ok, if I pull the cable at diffrent angles nothing changes.

exactly what i experienced. My TV is 32" Toshiba. But after flashing by LG it was much better. Also, I use MOBO video player coz it's got options of turning off the whole touch screen except the 'option' button. After that the phone is ok while playing the video.
I have a friend that had a similar problem, and even after flashing everything back to stock the phone didn't seem to work properly... He returned it to warranty as it seems to be the only thing to do...

Hey guys,
I'm really starting to think that my Tab is well and truly uber bricked. I tried (stupidly) to update it to gingerbread stock forgetting the flooping fact that the P1010 differs hugely to the P1000.
It was so weird, I got no error messages from Odin everything looked like it was going well, until I tried to get the device into download mode again. It won't turn on, I can't access recovery or download mode. It does try to come on when doing button combos but just shows a black/blank screen and turns off again as soon as power button is released. No icons or logos.
Another thing is that when off it flashes the creen every 10-15 seconds. Not sure what to try as battery will be running low by now and scared to let it go flat.
Anybody else got this, I feel like a right twat, don't even wanna know how much samsung will charge for repairing this.
If anyone has any more button combos to try please feel free to tell. I'm pretty deperate.
Josh at MobileTechVideos has helped me out when in similar circumstances.

Actually, that's the call...just return it and play dumb.
I forget the part that it was just a couple days.
I disagree with that advice. I hate dishonest people.
Just tell them the truth and see if theyvreplace it. What's the worst that can happen? They don't send you a new one. You won't be any worse off than you are now. Its worth a try.

the best drama ever you can do
1- go and do not smile , chicken ..
2- be shocked all the time during you are talking and blame them
3- say , how come i sleep than i woke take out my tab from the charger i couldn't turn it on . is this can happen because of the ELEC ? ? Act like stupid ,
they will ask you did you try to update it via kies , say how i update ? ? ? after u say this , trust me , you'll get your tab in 3-5 work days
Wow, lots of dishonest people here. Use the de-bricking service, pay for YOUR mistakes, and chalk it up to a valuable lesson to read and pay attention to what you're doing in the future.
Just something i did when i thought my tab was bricked. I turned it on even though it wouldnt show anything on the screen. I then let the battery drain, next day I plugged it in and pwered it on, it worked.... is there any type of mode that you can get into?

This is what I'm saying. Contact the guy from above and see if he can help you. You may pay for it, but some mistakes cost you money. If that doesn't work for you, then you're out $350 because of a mistake you made. If paying $350 for a mistake you made is the worse you end up paying in line, you're better off than most.

you didn't 'forget'... you didn't know. just nitpicking
I also support the return-it route. once it's back at samsung they can easily re-flash it to their proper software and sell it as a refurb.
I made your mistake today and I got the errors you've gotten ..
what did you do with your device , have you find a solution for it ?
I did this years back on the very first phone I flashed, a Sony 750i which I was trying to flash to 800i software. It usually would have worked as its same hardware but unfortunatley for me they had recently changed bootloader or something that made mine incompatible.
Since it was only a couple of days old from Orange shop I simply took it back to shop and played dumb, said I left it charging over night and now all I get is a white screen. At first they wanted to sent it off for repair and I kicked off because I didnt want to pay all that money for a faulty/repaired product, I kicked up a bit of stink in front of other potential customers and manager decided to give me full replacement.
Now I know that isnt honest but I meh I dont give a sh1t, Its not as if they would have had to pay for it, it would have simply got back to manufacturer.
If you have a new device and dont want to shell out a load of money or wait weeks/months just take it back and play dumb and if they refuse ask to speak to manager and kick off.
I PM'd you the details mate.
Same mistake here
Hi!
I know this is an old post, but this just happened to me today.
Just like you, i flashed a P1000 ROM to my P1010 galaxy tab.
The process went perfectly with no errors nor warnings in ODIN. When it tried to reboot, a black screen came up. The symptoms are the same you had. Black screen, no image of any kind, no possibility to put it in download nor recovery mode.
When i press the power button for about 5 seconds, backlight coms up, but still a black screen. When i let the power button go, the backlight goes out and the screen keeps black.
Could you please tell me how you solved this?
Thank you VERY much!

Try the same thing (Power +Volume down 5 seconds), but plug your tab to your PC before doing it and see if ODIN can pick it up. If odin can pick up your tab, flash the right ROM.
I think if black screen and then buttons lights up briefly when you touch, you somehow need to force it down first.
Try holding power button for at least 10 seconds to bring it down completely.
when it then doesn't response to touch, then do what yappoe said.
Hope your battery hasn't been drained by now.
I already tried both of the solutions you propose. I really appreciate that.
The screen keeps black, but the lights of the buttons doesn't turn on. Not even briefly.
I followed a guide that says i should tape the power button to keep the backlight on the entire night until the battery drains, so i can get out from an infinite loop. Then to plug the tab in the wall charger and the battery logo shoud appear. Then try to turn it on in download mode.
I did all that. Battery drained out, but at the moment of plugging the tab at the wall, it does not show the battery indicator. Screen is still black. No backlight, no nothing.
Do you think a JIG could work? any other ideas? it's kind of dead!
Sorry for my english and thanks again.
I don't know.. but you should assume it is still charging. Leave it for more than 4hr charging then try yappoe suggestion.
If all fails, then repair.
Next time only flash rom made for your device...

Hello xda, I just want to ask what did happen to my G1, I'm just using it ordinarily everyday but a few days ago something happen, it cannot boot but only led lights flashing, I can't even reach the recovery or bootloader, is this a hardbrick or something? I'm using a froyo rom I forgot what rom it was and I also using the right radio and SPL combo required for that but I don't know what happen, It just can't boot. Help please.
Is it just blue led? If so then yes its bricked and you need JTAG, if not you may be OK, but as to what happened that's hard to say
May be a battery issue but with LEDs flashing less likely, try to get a PC to recognize, try charging over night and testing with PC again, try booting without SD or sim, try any button combo you can
no not blue

Hello again dem, since my phone can't boot, my laptop can't recognize it, and I'm confident enough to say that my bat. don't have any problem, I do have a universal charger and my battery are charging using it, one strange thing, I also have a cabled charger for my G1 which has a led light as well, I've tried charging it using that and the led light of my charger are blinking which means it is charging but the led light of my G1 was not blinking, I really don't know what happened to my G1, I hope you could give me some help, any way I tried to search for what JTAG is, but I think I can't do it since I don't have any ideas when regards to the hardware aspect of android, I'm even a noob on software aspect of adroid devices.
P.S.
I forgot to say this, sometimes another strange thing happen on my G1, whenever I try some button combo to reach either recovery or bootloader, my buttons and keyboards have lights but my screen is totally blocked out.

hi again dem, I don't think its on the battery, call me crazy or anything but still remember N70? I have one, though their battery differs in size yet their gold energy conductor or whatever they call it is just the same. Since the battery of the G1 are easily drained I need to have two battery but since I'm from Philippines I have hard time looking for battery of my G1 that's the reason why I used my N70 battery on it as a backup whenever my G1 runs out of its juice. Before I can successfully use my N70 battery ( I just place a paper or anything on its side and lower portion to make the fit right) but since the problem on my G1 occurred even my N70 battery are useless and unusable because it still don't boot. I know my problem is a weird one but I'm looking for a way to recover it without modifying or replacing its hardware. Don't have money for it. Hope you could help me with this. thanks.
P.S.
I never run any problem before using my N70 phone, its maybe because they have the same voltage which 3.7 the thing is their capacity. For you to believe me I attached here the photo of my G1
