Tried couple different roms, factory resets, full wipe etc, Phone is still rebooting itself after even 2 min usage on google maps, navigation
Is there a point to unroot the phone, come back to 2.1 ruu to find out or maybe the phone need to be send back for repair?
Thanks Guys

It's a damn common problem on Desire. Also i have the same problem. When the phone try to connect to 3G network go in crash. Also i tried more times full wipe, hard reset, RUU. Nothing. The issue is HARDWARE. The only way is the substition og the phone (or of the motherboard).
Good Luck
Same for mine. Sent to HTC for repair
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks Guys, That's what I thought but didn't like to put it through my mind,
One me thing: Do I need to raise a query on htc website? And of course unroot the phone to stock

Of course. Make a hard reset to unroot, send to HTC assistance and write a EMail to HTC customer care with detailed issue of your phone
HTC must change your phone
Good Luck
Yup, same here. I've allready sent my device for repair and now waiting for new device. It's hardware issue.
Regards, X.
My desire kept restarting whilst using open desire and dj Droid Rom. Since I've switched back to official 2.1 stock Rom not rooted my phones not rebooted once. So I'm not sure if its always a hardware related thing. Hmmm

Sorry, After I wrote it down and think after,
I tried to run RUU and first get an error of Hbootloader and later during signatures,
My desire is sim free bought in UK, Tried Europe 1.15.405.1 release 121684 and 685,
Still same issue,
I've never restore a rooted phone before, Do I using a wrong RUU for this phone??
thanks

Probably you have bootloader 0.80
Try with stock ROM 1.21.XXXXXX
It's was ok for me
My Desire would soft-reset at least once daily on the stock 2.1 ROM. Switching to Cyanogen has fixed that. Which I was surprised to find.

THANK YOU!
I think someone should put this info into the sticky topic, there is nothing to mention that you need this specific ruu to unroot 0.0 bootloader...
I will test the phone now to see if the reboots are still in th case...
Could anyone who send their phone away tell me how long would take to get the phne fix in uk? can they provide a replacement or up to us to bother?
Ta
I've noticed that mine will reboot constantly after I flash a new ROM.
However, I don't think it's the flashing that is the issue. See after a wipe and flash I usually sign into Google to get sync my contacts and calendar.
Since 2.2 the phone tries to automatically download apps from the market.
If I'm using HSPA (3G) to download while the phone is plugged in and charging I will 100% of the time get constant reboots until I physically remove the battery.
Even then, if I remove the charger and try the phone will keep rebooting. I usually end up having to charge the battery while the phone is off then remove the charger. It will then usually work with no issue or random reboots.
I've tested this when I'm using Wi-Fi - Never a reboot issue.
Also tested using extensive 3G (soon after flash) without charger plugged in. Phone will sometimes (maybe 25% of the time) go into a boot loop with each reboot occurring within a few minutes of each startup.
It's no secret that the phone gets hot when using 3G to download a lot of data. For some reason this is compounded after each flash.
I use syspanel to monitor battery temps and in the situations described above where the phone starts constantly rebooting the temps are around 36c - 38c. I'm not exactly sure because it reboots before I can get accurate temp.
I question syspanel accuracy because it feels bloody hot! Temps are normally usually around 22 - 27c and it feels cool to the touch. Hard to believe 10c can make that much difference.
Could this be a hardware design, like how CPUs will throttle once a certain temp is reached to prevent damage? Or maybe thermal paste (is that even used in phones?) not properly applied to some component on the PCB.
Perhaps others can comment on their battery temps. Sounds like that's the issue if maps and navigation (data + battery intensive) cause reboots.
Also, as mentioned by someone else I can't remember (sorry to the poster) after I update or restore Launcher Pro my battery drain becomes ridiculous (I've lost 100% in 4 hrs). Quick reboot after update or restore solves the drain.
Now the phone is running stock rom and radio,
Tried google maps today, and it only last for about 2 min before reboot, when the phone is in normal usage like calls and texts I never had a reboot,
Must be a overheating components, like you said thermal paste or something.
Tonite i will give them a phone and the courier to pick it up.
Do you think guys is worth to mention about mainboard? that will need to be replace or just mention overheating issues and constant reboots?
Do they provide a replacement unit for the time being?
Thanks all

That's exactly the issue I had - could replicate a reboot within minutes of Google Maps use. I also believe this to be a heat/paste issue, as the unit got incredibly hot (on one occasion almost too hot to pick up).
Mine was replaced as being faulty (with Virgin in the UK) after I recited several forums and a google search to the operative. You might be able to get this with Three if you push for it but Virgin are the only ones I know of actually replacing the handsets (FYI thier callcentre staff seem to know thier stuff).
I will miss my desire Courier will pick it up tomorrow and God knows how long it will take to get it fixed!!
Customer Service was excellent so far, the guy even said that this is actually quite a common issue with Desire( too much power inside such a small device)
Hopefully I'll get a new motherboard!
Thanks guys for all your help! Now is the time to start up OLD grandpa Sony Ericcson for the time being...
Reboot with GPS and Charging
Hi
I have send my desire for repair, because it reboots every time i use navigation and charging at same time. Navigation alone dosn't reboot.
I tried to reinstall, but HTC would let me have the file to try to rewrite the ROM.
I try to times to clear the phone several times, but now i just wait to see if they will find the problem or just rewrite the ROM.

Hi all, the very best noob is posting here
I was enjoying the last AuraxTSense rom (AuraxTSense_8.3_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_A2SD +...) installed on 29/01. The display is SLCD. The mobile is branded, so I created-and-used a gold card. Everything was perfect until this morning when I noticed that the display was black and there was no way to come up with an image, or text ... (it's almost black, actually I can see that lights just barely).
Since the installation of the rom was successful, I do not think that the phone is bricked, but It's a supposition. Or not?
As described on forums, I've installed the rom RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed to try to recover the mobile: I can hear the sound, the cell vibrates, ... but no more as in the beginning.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
would you mind giving some additional info like does the LED turn on, if plugged in to a charger? Does it turn on, if plugged into a computer?
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?
Did you do anything special before this happened?
How did you flash the ruu(from zip file or via computer)? Did any errors occour?
Also why would you try to flash a ruu, when you had no idea what was wrong or what you were doing? You might just have ruined it more. There is no way to know, but as it was able to run the ruu, apparently nothing was wrong.
Thank you for the reply.

The mobile charges with charger, and USB cable attached on the PC: while charging, the LED is orange.
When off, I can power it up using the power button: the mobile vibrates and after ~25 seconds I can hear the start sound. After ~10 seconds the home+menu+back+src button lights go on for some seconds.
The display, since the start-up vibration, becames barely lighted. While the mobile is powered on, if not used, after some time the display becomes dark and I can resume its lighting pressing the power button.
While the mobile is on, if I plug the USB cable in the PC a new drive appears; it's an empty (0 bytes size) drive - I have no SD in.
Can you boot into fastboot(vol down + power)?

I cannot say this because I cannot see anything, but when I boot with (vol down + power) the mobile does not vibrate.
BTW I can boot with (power+back), as I have used the RUU executable to flash and it worked.

I can say that the behaviour of the mobile after the RUU update is the same of before.
Thank you.
to me that sounds like a hardware (backlight) fault...
But how could you flash the wwe-Ruu? Your handset was branded, wasnt it? Did you use the goldcard to flash the ruu? Remember to flash the original (=branded) ruu before you send it in for repair (if you do so)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
hmm isnt that for amoled phones.

and if that isnt working flash rom that came with it and send it to repair.
Yes, I flashed using the goldcard; it was working very well!
The last app I installed was juice defender, the full version, updated two days ago from the market.
I'm trying with the link proposed by madman_cro, it's now in download.
Thank you.
2 things... would it not have been better to post in the AuraxTsense page lol? I've used 8.3 since release and its near perfect, sounds like a hardware error.... screen maybe gone? There was a spate of HTC screen problems
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have had this happen twice on Auraxtsense. Both times removing the battery for 30 secs and then replacing and rebooting solved the issue. It eventually came back to life.
In your case it could be a hardware failure ......
Im trying to flash the rom proposed by madman_cro, but today is a bad day: update fails with ERROR 170
Yes AuraxTsense is a great rom, with no doubt! I'm not considering the rom as the origin of the problem, but it would be nice to discover what's wrong in my mobile
In the case it's an hardware problem, I've asked HTC for assitance...

As you say yourself this sounds like a hw error, and such it has nothing to do with auraxtsense, so why the hell should he post it in there.
But it does indeed sound like a hw error. So you will probably have to ask htc, if the prober ruu doesn't solve it. Also slcd brick only happens after flashing a wrong rom/bootloader, so it should not possibly appear out of nowhere.

Why the hell would he do that? Because at that stage a hardware fault was suggested but not confirmed ... so why the hell not?
If it was a problem with the rom like he thought it could be, that would of been a good starting point!
I had the same thing happen with a Blackstone (Touch HD)
Don't know if this is any help, but I had exactly the same thing happen with my old Touch HD. There was a util I found that allowed me to view the phone screen and drive it via my pc through the USB port. This helped in making sure that the only issue was a lack of display, and flashing and returning to stock before sending off for repair. Not too sure if there's something similar for the Desire.
The problem was initially diagnosed as a loose connection within the phone, and the repair center fixed it and sent it back to me. A couple of weeks later exactly the same thing happened. After replacing the mainboard on the second repair visit it was all fixed and worked well (until I fed it too much voltage from a charger, but that's another story). I'd suggest that claiming this experience as your own and requesting a mainboard replacement up front may be the best way to avoid too many service visits.
You'll know that they have replaced the mainboard as they'll issue you with a new IMEI.
selling it on ebay
Thank you all! My experience with support services in Italy and the fact that the phone has been rooted/flashed, have persuaded me to put it on ebay, as is. I still haven't found the solution, so I don't know if it's an hardware problem or something else. In the doubt, I'm selling it as not working.
Hope I will come back with a new desire...

Although most people have said this is a hardware error (I'm inclined to think the same) have you actually tried to hard reset the phone just incase a setting is messed up somewhere and is actually displaying at 0% backlight. Very likely it won't work but is at least worth a shot before you get rid of it on Ebay
trying again
Hi warlordxxx, having the possibility to use another phone (do you remember the 7650? ) I removed the desire from ebay and I'm now trying to best discover what's happened, as I think it's not an hardward problem too.
I'm following the directions posted on the androidiani.it forum: maybe my problem it's just a video driver problem. I will let you know the result of the operations.
Have a nice week.
I have been using the HOX for over 2 months now but this morning my phone display suddenly doesn't turn on even the backlight key still on and touchscreen still work ( when I sweep my finger up the unlock sound still play, and I can even adjust the volume of the phone, etc... ) I have no ideas if this is a software or hardware problem and how to solve it, I'm still on Stock Rom, Stock Kernel,... Please help me
try to reboot pressing power button for 10 seconds, if it'll not work, it can be hardware problem, as i understood you haven't unlocked it, so you can send it to htc and they will repair it, or if you can, you can change it by yourself,
have you tried starting in bootloader and factory resetting?

I have the same problem now. Using it completely stock, the screen doesn't turn on. Well.... Except for the times I visit the Vodafone shop to get it fixed....
Their first reaction was a defect in the screen, so they ordered a new one. I brought it yesterday again and it is now in for repair.
I don't know if this will solve the problem. How did they fix yours?

hey guys
I had this problem a month ago, i know its frustrating.
anyway the only solution is factory rest from boot loader and flash RUU (worked for me)
the first time i had it, i did a factory reset, all my pics music were gone, phone went back to normal( stock, locked)
after a day the problem appeared again, second rest.
flashed RUU and the problem is gone. thanks god i have been using my HOX about a month science that problem and every thing is working great.
im sure its a software issue and I recommend every one to back up their files(pics,music)
just flash RUU and good luck
Lol, exactly the issue I had recently had with mine. Sent it backto htc, let's see what they would do about it.

My colleque has the same issue with his One X.
It started with suddenly everything on his screen looking "zoomed in", so everything double size, looking ugly as a mofo, and not usable. After locking the sceen and unlocking again, it was fine.
Monday suddenly also screen didn't want to turn on anymore. Did the hard reboot for him, and it worked again... Untill he locked his screen and wanted to unlock, same issue.
Also, that time when doing the hard reboot, screen didn't turn on at all. Did another one, and worked again.
He's now sent it in for repair, this definately sounds like ahrdware issue, even full reset through bootloader didn't help.

I have the same problem right now.
It started last week when I was using Flipboard and suddenly everything started zooming in and stuff (same as mhulsegge above). It was resolved by locking my screen and unlocking it.
Last night, i've been getting the black screen when I try to unlock my phone. The touchscreen still works but the screen is just blank. It turns on if I keep locking and unlocking, but it's getting annoying.
My phone is an international One X (duh) bought in Hong Kong and I'm currently living in Canada so it would not be possible to send it back for repairs. Plus my phone is rooted and I am currently using the latest MIUI ROM (2.9.21). I have been using an app called "Sleep" which tracks your sleeping patterns. It requires you to place your screen face down on your bed when you sleep and the accelerometer will track your sleeping patterns and wake you up at the most optimal time. I assume that for the accelerometer to work the screen has to be on, so I am wondering if this can be a screen malfunction (overheat or overuse) problem since the screen has been on for so long (every night when i sleep for around a month).
Since sending it back is out of the question for me because of where I am living right now and I have voided my warranty, I am downloading other ROMs as we speak and seeing if it is a problem with my ROM. I will keep you guys posted.
-edit- I have tried factory reset and reinstalling my ROM (with a full wipe). Still doesn't work.
It´s probably not your rom since I use CM10 hand have the same problem and others have even been running stock and had this problem. The only one who seems to have solved this (at least in this thread) flashed RUU, so guess I´ll go try that now...
Would be great to hear if anyone else has solved it, and how!
edit: This has to be a hardware problem, if I push on the screen it starts working! Its like something is loose, and when i press on the screen it gets connected again.

Good tip, but I tried a gentle two-fingered push (zoom pinch) and the backlight turned itself on with very little pressure, certainly not enough to flex the screen. I believe that it is a state issue related to zoom, but will try again and report if the issue returns.
Screen black after replacement lcd display unit
Hi,
My HOX touchscreen was broken, the touch and everything was still working. I ordered a replacement lcd display Unit and replaced the complete display and touch. After replacement the screen is completely black but the phone still works. The touch buttons on the bottom still work and i can use the volume buttons. I replaced the lcd display unit very carefully and i am sure nothing is broken etc. So the touch is working but the screen is black. I tried 2 display units and both show me a black screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Did i forget to do something during the replacement?
Please, i need some help with this issue.
OneX has too much issue with Screen . WTF with HTC?
Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old DHD which I think is completely bricked. It was working for approximately one years perfectly and then suddenly it stopped working. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it only vibrated once and did nothing more. Sometimes it turned on and these working periods were enough to restore to stock condition (It was rooted and had Eng S-OFF before.). I had brought it to service and they said they was not going to repair it as the device got water damaged. I'm pretty sure it was not! After a few weeks, it started working again. I was using it for 3 months then it bricked again and it's the situation today as well.
Previous week I looked into the development thread and saw all of these new amazing roms. So I took my DHD to see if it's working or not. The situation is the same. Everytime I power it on, the phone only vibrates once and nothing happens. I'm not able to get into hboot mode. At some very rare occassions the phone turns on and works flawlessly till reboot. When I connect it with USB, the computer doesn't recognize it. Battery is charged, I even tried another battery.
Does anybody know what happens with the phone? I'm open to any possible solutions to try. Please don't suggest to bring it to service or repair it, because I have another phone, just want to try to recover it and ask your ideas about the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Adam
So you say you cant enter in fastboot or recovery?
Since it's intermittent, my guess is it is a hardware problem. Some kind of bad contact/loose connection. Make sure everything looks good on your battery door and the battery contacts inside the phone.

Since it's intermittent, my guess is it is a hardware problem. Some kind of bad contact/loose connection. Make sure everything looks good on your battery door and the battery contacts inside the phone.

I also think it's a hardware problem. Will take a more careful look at the battery.

Wrong sub forum buddy, post in the One V Forum.
Its possible that there isn't "water damage", but there could be moisture getting into the phone causing it to act erratic. To cancel out that possibility, submerge it in a closed container full of rice for a few days

Hi,
I recently got my phone unlocked via testpoint (I think) and it was fine for a week or so but then the touch screen started locking up after i turn the screen on and bring up the lock screen and wouldn't respond to my touches (so I can't answer my calls/texts until I restart my phone), the screen itself was fine as I can see everything still and the phone still responds as the gamepad is still functioned so I could turn it off and on again which then fixed it for a few hours.
This has been happening a lot recently and a new problem has developed which is that it will not boot properly, if I have it plugged in and boot from the "charging mode" its fine but the screen doesn't work until about 10 reboots and on battery it hangs at the Sony Ericsson text screen (On boot) and I have to battery pull it and reboot it many times before it will boot successfully again.
It is running a stock gingerbread ROM (Build .42 - rooted). This worked perfectly and never locked up once before the unlock, so I'm placing my suspicions on that. -.-
any ideas for fixes are greatly appreciated as having this phone doing this ALL THE TIME is very frustrating and seems to be happening more regularly and sometimes even when the screen is turned on and I'm using the device.
Thanks in advance and for reading all of that (If you did )
The fact that you unlocked it shouldn't matter that it's having issues booting up. I had mine unlocked via testpoint and it was all good. Try reflashing your stock FTF.
I think build .42 is Verizon, right? But what phone version do you have?
I have the R800i - originally locked to orange. I flashed a .42 build i fund on the internet, i think it was a Chinese ROM as it came with Chinese keyboard etc. and various Chinese apps
hmm, as I'm typing this I'm waiting for it to reboot - Not working -.- I got told by the guy who unlocked it that i cant update my phone or it may blank screen on me or something? i didn't want to risk anything by re-flashing it as i don't want to have to buy a new phone if this one completely messes up to the point that it's bricked I'm thinking a reflash is the way to go... Can titanium backup backup whatsapp properly so i dont have to sort out my activation stuff again? it's assigned to my old number atm so yeahh...
Same problem over here.
I used to use the Doom kernel for over a year without problem but then the touchscren would frequently lose it's ability to react to touch usually a reboot would fix it, at some point i had to hold a button while bootup for it to react again soon i discovered that sliding the gamepad out was what killed the touch capability sliding the gamepad back in did not restore it only a reboot or as i discovered holding the home button for about 10 seconds how ever it was less and less functional until at somepoint nothing would restore it and the touchscreen permanently lost it's touch. Assuming it might be a software problem i reflashed stock rom and stock kernel the problem still persists and i am not sure if ihad this problem before reflashing or not but i also now have the problem that when pressing the power button the phone does not react for 15 seconds before getting to the sony erricons (or doom kernel) writing to not move one step further no matter the wait while starting with usb plugged in again takes 15 seconds wait time before anyting shows up but then after 30 seconds continues to the next splashscreen to start properly.
Initially i assumed it would be a software problem (like slyhedgehog56) how ever as not even reflashing the entire system fixed it i think that option is out of question. with the touchscreen capability i would blame it on the digitizer but would a digitizer problem also cause the boot issues? With unlocked boot loader i am obviously out of warranty and id rather not have to buy a new phone i would what so ever not mind doing some basic human capable repairs on it (for example exchanging digitizer) how ever i don't want to invest into repairs that possibly wont help anyway.
I hope somebody can provide us with some insight.
Well you've also got to consider is electricals can go wrong weather its a phone laptop toaster ect sometimes stuff just stops working for no reason and something will break just the way it works unfortunately

Well while it certainly is true that everything stops it's not quite for no reason i mean there is most certainly some reason, it's not like the device just randomly decides "im perfectly fine but i wont work anymore" if it's a broken contact a lose cable or a fried chip something IS to blame for malfunctions and if there is a specific pattern of malfunctions it may be possible to track back just what component gave up.
So thank you for notifying me that things break at times i will still continue to wait if somebody possibly has more detail on this particular malfunction though.

I'm not gonna lie myself as the same thing exactly happened to my phone and it died week ago.
Here's how it started
1 Touchscreen died for 5 Seconds when I didn't use phone for long.
- Over two weeks this dead time longly extended.
3 Touchscreen became completely dead and unusable.
- Tried stock rom, Markpython's Ics Rom and Slimbean (no result so hardware problem).
5 Relocked the bootloader, flashed stock fw.
- Device won't boot unless in USB Mode
7 Phone turns unusable (Yes I can navigate using gamepad) and goes to Sony Centre

Sounds like the exact same problem yes (including the gamepad navigation) would you mind keeping me/us updated over how it goes? what they blame to be the culprint etc?
friends too..
Turns out a friends Xperia play has the EXACT same problem so the test point unlock isn't the issue here tried reflashing this one and no help at all, it will boot if I gold the power button then plug a USB cable in but the screen doesn't respond to touches. The same for both phones, they won't boot without a USB connected and will occasionally work once every 50 or so tries without the cable -.-.
I'm at a loss, I've searched the internet to find no help and everyone just saying "use the Sony repair tool" no. It doesn't work!

I got it back , I haven't done any testing but it seems to be working fine.
Boot = OK
Touchscreen = OK
Gamepad = OK
Touchpads = Not Tested but should be ok.
Version = .42 (2.3.4) (UK GENERIC) - Same version as I gave into store.
The software was upgraded to the very last version?
Fought last version was .62

Awesome! Keypad fault interesting
hmm you said you had flashed another rom that means you had your bootloader unlocked and your warranty voided right?
Did they charge you for the repairs?

I relocked my bootloader beforehand giving it to repair centre.
I fought I said this a couple of posts ago.
And no they did not charge me at all.

Yes i know that you mentioned it however i thought they would/could check the status using the IMEI and could tell if it was locked nlocked though admittingly getting the code to unlock it using th IMEI does not actually mean that you unlocked it... ut alrigh thanks again
