[HALP] HARD bricked!? - Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted and xposed 820. And on this morning, while I am using my phone to play Pokemon Go, the phone got itself shutted down all of a sudden ( black screen ). And several seconds later it boots up, showing the green "hTC" logo alongside the red words below, and again, several seconds later ALL THE WORDS on the boot screen turned yellow and a second later the screen turned off and it reboots again! This loop has run for 4 times and in the last time I decided to go into TWRP to clear cache and davik cache and hope this will bring it back to life. Well it does make it booting into the system and showing the bootanimation, but in some seconds, it reboot again and the yellow words appear again.
After the last yellow screen appeared I was frustrated and decided to leave it shutted down ( TWRP method ) and try to fire it up later today. Later, I dissemble my phone and reseat the battery, hoping that this will reset some of the parameters inside the phone. But, just when I want to power it up after that, I found that it can be neither power up nor enter recovery. After connecting it to my adb and fastboot-installed desktop computer, it blinks orange LED lights and it CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED AS A DEVICE by my computer in device manager.
Now I am not sure if it is really hard bricked or just any other thing else

1. Disconnect your phone from the charger.
2. Press the power button 10 times at 1 second intervals to discharge.
3. Now hold down the power button for 16-30 seconds until it turns on.
4. Charge the phone correctly, even if he says that the phone is charging. WOW ... my phone is still alive !! All I did today was:
I tried the charger from my galaxy nuclei (as well as the strength of the current 820 = Htc 1A), but I used the original cable from my Htc charger. The LED indicator is still flashing, so I decided to "knock" on the back (around the site where the connector from batterry there), and then I pressed VOL- and VOL and the power button for 20-30-ies, and then I pressed the power button and VOL- about 30s, then I released everything, and then I pressed the power button for 10 seconds, and my phone is turned on !!! I'm so happy! my phone is still under warranty, but I live abroad now, so I need to send it to my country, to begin the process of warranty, but not IM free from this!
Thank you, guys, for pushing me to try again magic tricks with cables, chargers and Btw button.
My batterry is now 100% o.o = this means that it is charging all the time?
I do not know what it was, but I'm glad it's working now. 2. Tighten the two volume buttons and the power button when a black screen appears to hold the volume- button and power, smart mustget into in the loader in the boot loader to choose reboot (assuming that the system is not removed)

What Android version you have? Red text at boot screen means that kernel is modified (by SuperSU or Xposed if is installed in boot image). But I never see yellow text in my phone. Can you quote this yellow text?
Wysłano z Tapatalk / Sent with Tapatalk

From the symptoms...it seems a faulty battery.
What are the yellow texts?

@tomal @QkiZMR The yellow test are the yellow version of bootscreen, that include the "hTC" logo, "powered by android" banner and the "This build is for development purpose only. Failure to compile may lead to legal action."warning. Beside all of this, the background is still white.
@QkiZMR I have the stock android 6.0 release by hTC, rooted, xposed and S-OFFed.
@tomal I do agree with your point! Before the device shut down, I charged the whole night ( around 9 hrs ) with a 2.1A portable battery and a 3.1A portable battery and it can only charge half of my battery... I first thought that is the fault of my portable battery so I use my friend's portable battery instead and still no improvements...
P's Before the shut down, I should have about 50% of power.
P's2 I have adopted storage, running well before, does it matter?

I think that sdcard prepared as internal storage is not a issue. Something bad happen with system files. Did you try to format data partition? This will erase all your settings and apps.

Yes, I have those equivalent apparatus, but I have no micro-scale pin and I am not sure the nodes of the battery, so I just took it to a local repair shop and see what's happen in it.
I hope I will have no need to buy a new phone:crying:
But if it so, I must be going back to SONY where flashing is more easier and better environment for development.

Checking finished. I took it to several repair shop and they all have different conclusion on my situation. But mainly is due to the I.C. adapter failure and faulty battery. It is repairable, but it costs me the same amount for a new D820 ( ~USD200 ) here. So I decided to give up on this phone and buy another one. Thanks for the help @tomal and @QkiZMR have offered me and if you guys have any further suggestion for me on reviving my 820, please tell me selflessly. I would like to try my best to develop some ROMs for this device once the kernel source code is out!

Maybe battery was overheated. You wrote that you playing Pokemon Go, this game use a lot of battery juice. That produce heat.
Is the battery is swollen?

Nope, the battery is still hard. Maybe the motherboard is burnt due to the continuous large current draw?

From 2A charger?

I swap between the 2.1A and 3A power bank.

Maybe 3A is too much for this phone.

But neither the 2.1A nor the 3A will charge my phone even when I am not playing the game and terminated the process. The power consumed by the phone is equal to the power charged by the batteries. So that's why I charged for nearly 9 hours and still 10% boost only...

[Q] Power Button Problem -- Alternative way to turn on the Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I'm having the (common?) problem, that the power button doesn't work any more. You can press it as long or often as you want, it doesn't do anything.
So -- big mistake -- I took of the battery and tried to restart. But the power button seems to be broken (hardware), so I now cant even turn on the phone to make it connect to e.g. adb...
Is there any way, to get the phone (without using the power button :/) able to talk to the adb / fastboot interface? (or better, boot it completely)
Need to get some data off it before sending it in for replacement..
thanks !
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.
This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.
i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

I've been searching the web for days looking for a way to turn on my Galaxy Nexus without using its broken power button, and your timing trick got it working. Thanks!
Thank you, i searched for a whole night during my night shift for this and it worked, lets hope i won't turn it off again :fingers-crossed:
Rooted?
If you have a rooted phone you can use AOKP ROM or any other roms that has volume wake in its settings. If your kernel supports it you can do what I did and use PGM Nexus from the market, basically what it does is let you lock and unlock your screen by swiping from left to right and right to left for each action (it keeps your touch controls on even when the screen is off and it doesn't use that much battery ) Hope this helps.

Is there some trick here guys? My phone has a busted power button and I need to get some data off it before repairing. I've tried this timing method but it doesn't seem to do anything. A charging icon shows up, I pull the battery and replace it, and then the full icon shows up and eventually disappears.
if you go to the phones main settings, security, lockscreen, then press none, youll be able to wake the device with the volume buttons. its a built in feature, no app needed.

I love you mate. Now I can use my phone again.
Oh thank God it WORKS! thanks to you man, your post is really helpful. thanks to everyone who have shared this idea!
Let me explain in detail how it works on mine:
1. battery pulled (if possible, the battery shoulldn't be too full to allow the charging animations to appear)
2. connect phone to usb that is connected on pc (without the battery inserted) n wait like 1 or 2 seconds before inserting the battery
3. insert the battery now
4. wait for the battery lightning logo to appear
5. once appeared, wait for the battery lightning logo to disappear (it took me almost 10 seconds.. might vary with yours)
6. once the battery lightning logo disappear, wait for the charging animation to appear (almost instant)
7. when the charging animation appears, kindly pull the battery now.. hehe.. it doesn't matter if you wanna pull it immediately after the charging animations appear or not as long as the animation is still playing..
8. this is the point where it should work or not:
A: sometimes the animation will continue to loop 3 times n nothing happen. Repeat process from step 1.
B: there's a split second static lines on the screen (static as in the iPhone 5 keyboard static) and then the battery animation got stuck. just wait. n then it turns off. n then it vibrates. n then, it boots! =D
P/S: This is NOT MY GNex. My GNex is fine right here with me. The GNex in description here belongs to my friends' aunt. she bought the phone based on my recommendation. the phone is only 4 months old. Mine is 7 months old. luckily the phone is still in warranty so she'd be able to get it fixed soon for free. I'm gonna give the phone back to her so that she could backup every single pictures n videos coz she never did any sort of backup since the phone was bought.. *gasp*
IMPORTANT!
since i have my own GNex, I emptied my battery (i left it only around 10% or so) n put it in her GNex so that the charging animations will appear when i try to revive it using the method above. coz before this, her GNex's battery was full n once the battery lightning logo disappear, only the battery full logo appears afterwards, meaning no animations is shown. n i don't know whether this affects anything at all. just thought i'd mention it. =)
actually I didn't even know the power button is problematic. I thought it was bricked or something. i've even used the omapflash thingy.. lol.. i even considered the odin method n stuff.. luckily i came across this thread..
thanks again everyone.
=)
please!!

Thanks a million, man. You totally saved my bacon with this trick. :good:
My Galaxy Nexus is up and running again after about 5 minutes of pulling and inserting the battery I finally got it booted up.
My power button's been broken for a few weeks and I installed an app to turn my screen on using the VOL button but I was out all day today and made the mistake of letting my battery completely die and of course it powered down - OOPS.
Guess I'd better get that power button fixed.

I followed the same basic procedure (thanks!), but wanted to add a couple notes.
1) I wasn't having much luck after step 8 until I actually put the battery back in as suggested by the second post in the thread -- that seems to trigger the boot process more consistently.
2) If the process is not working, try a different USB cable. I tried a number of times with one cable to no avail, then finally got desperate enough to try another cable, and it worked the very first time.
3) Once the phone is actually booted, here are a couple other apps that can help with the lack of functioning power button:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ponury.pgm2free --- For those who are rooted, you can use this (or the paid version with more features) to slide your finger across the turned-off screen to wake the phone. It can be a little finicky in my experience, sometimes pressing the volume button after swiping seems to do the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock -- Lets you turn off the screen via a shortcut; I have a shortcut on my home screen and in my notifications.

Issues with booting (blinking orange LED)

Hi there,
I'm having strange issues with DHD. I've read a few threads with issues like this, but symptoms are always slightly different.
Yesterday, I've connected it to the charger (the battery was empty), and when I tried to turn it on, it just did 3 vibrations and orange notif. LED started blinking. When connected to the USB, the Windows recognizes device as Qualcomm, and further reading suggested that the phone is entering service mode, which is normally accessible with Power + Vol+. I've also found out that volume rocker can be the issue, but in my case I don't see anything wrong with it, it's working and looking like before.
No matter what I did, it always did the same, it won't even go into recovery (Power + Vol-), screen always stays blank, the only activity I'm getting are flashing LEDs and vibrations.
Also, phone is charging when turned off (battery removed and reinserted). I've charged it for a few hours yesterday and the green LED was on.
And finally, when turned off, and plugged into the USB, after few seconds, adb devices will show the device, and after the serial number it says recovery. Does that mean that the phone booted into the recovery? The screen is still black though.
So, the most important thing for me is to find out is it possible to return the phone back to stock, in order to send it for a repair. And even better, a solution for the problem
I believe its a hardware problem, although adb says its in recovery. Any more ibfo you could give us? ROM, how you rooted it etc?

thanks don't hurt ya know?
Take off battery,connect phone to charger via USB for 3 minutes ,than insert battery put battery cover now u should see orange light ,now press power button and voila
It's an issue with the volume rocker I think
Had a very similar issue when I had IceColdSandwich on my DHD, only started when I flashed that Rom, reflashed a different Rom, everything is fine again!

I'm not sure that the issue is with ROM, I'm starting to think that it's probably a hardware issue. And that's why I need to found out how to return everything to stock, and send it for warranty.
Try again it will work .may be leave it longer after you put the battery in like an hour .it should work after an hour press the power button

Thankyou so much after leaving phone in cupboard for like 5 years and forgot why it was on there I decided to plug it up. Then I remembered it wouldn't turn on and I was getting the orange blinking. After following your instructions it's all on again. Have upgraded since then so I guess this is a back up phone now lol

HTC Wildfire blank screen

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just can't find it.
My Wildfire's screen froze a couple of times, then the last time I removed the battery and reinserted it.
When I tried to power back up I got the vibrate but nothing on the screen, so I repeated a couple of times with no luck.
I then tried the Hboot method (Hold vol - and power) and I got the Hboot on, but when I tried to navigate using the volume buttons nothing happened, so removed battery and tried to repeat, I couldn't get back to Hboot. I have only been able to get the Hboot screen that one time.
When I power up, I get 1 vibrate and nothing on screen.
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on.
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume - then the power button but still only one vibrate.
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck.
Is there anything that can be done to save my Wildfire?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Seems like you're in Qualcomm Diagnostic mode. Though I don't remember the solution, some Googling might help

Any help please
I've tried the method stated on this forum but with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
--- EDIT ---
So you wrote your question again in the "Wildfire S" (Marvel) Forums - in this case the much more important question would be: what phone are you talking about? A Wildfire (Buzz) or a "Wildfire S" (Marvel). Despite the name those have almost nothing in common - they are totally different devices
--- EDIT ---
I'll answer in this thread although you opened another one in Q&A.
You haven't been too specific with your problem but sometimes it helps to have all the details
So here we go:
a) did the phone work correct (besides the freezes) before you took out the battery?
b) is your WF rooted & s-off?
c) which ROM?
d)
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on

does this happen when connected to PC or charger or not
e)
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume

did you hold both at least 5-10 secs or so?

you mean after your problem occured? How did you do that?
Believe me: the more details you provide the more likely someone might have a solution or at least an idea what's going on
OK, sorry for the lack of info!
My phone is a Wildfire, not a WildfireS.
A: Yes, was working.
B: No, never needed to.
C: Not sure, never kept a record of it. It's one of the first models though if that helps.
D: This happens without USB cord attached. When the USB cord is attached I pull the battery and the green light stays on.
E: Yes, I've tried this for over 10secs before.
F: Yes, after blank screen. I installed on SD card and followed the directions. Bare in mind, I cant set Debug or the charge only setting.
Thanks!

ok, you should mention it in the Marvel forums, too, to avoid misunderstandings At least you're in the right forum here.

That's what I thought. In this case you won't be able to flash any other ROM - you could just do the usual upgrades by HTC
This doesn't sound to me to be a minor problem (but probably someone else might correct me here) - nevertheless - just to make sure: have you tried to do a hard factory reset following the HTC user guide?
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button (instead of holding it)
if this boots your phone up:
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset
(errm and yes: this will delete all your user data, of course...)

But I assume you have done that anyway - did you try to connect your phone to the PC (HTC drivers installed, of course)?
How about charging - does the phone seem to behave normal - i.e. if you keep it from charging for a few hrs does it show the red LED for charging mode and the green one for being fully charged?
That's pretty much all I could suggest from scratch. - Hopefully someone else with a good idea will step in here :fingers-crossed:
OK, still have the Wildfire with the annoying blank screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix?
Thanks!

besides the suggestion of the Qualcomm diagnostic mode (no I don't know anything about that): did you try to power up without the sdcard, yet?
Furthermore I slightly remember that you could do a factory reset using a key combination - but I'm not sure about it.
Same goes for a RUU. Are you able to connect to the phone with the PC?
Really just random guessing - hard if no error messages appear...
Yes, tried with the SD card.
Because I can't see the screen I tried it loads of times, all with different combinations.
I can't get any vibrate from volume down + long hold power.
I will only get a vibrate from volume down + short hold power.
What would be ideal if there's a way to use ODIN PC to flash a new ROM, well that's what I think it is, faulty ROM?
Thanks!

really hard to say as there's not a little information what's going on. What if just the screen is dead? have you tried to wait after boot and insert your pin after a while (I mean try to guess where the numbers might be) and call your number?
Why anyone want's to use ODIN on non-samsung?!
ODIN is purely just for SAMSUNG products
If you have warranty.. put it to service centre.. they will fix it
Need hard reset power off your phone press volume DOWN and power. YOU WILL FIX IT EASYLI.

Hey there!
I'm bumping this because I have the same problem and creating a new thread seemed more bad to me.
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.
I found out my battery was swollen 5 days ago. It's probably because of my charging habits. My battery life have shortened everyday this 5 days. Yesterday morning I wiped my battery stats to get a better battery life. When I was back home my phone's battery has depleted while I was listening to music.
I came to home, plugged my phone to charge and waited 15 mins to get it charged a bit to open. When I tried to open it, it vibrated but the "green htc text on white background" screen didn't come up. The screen wasn't working. I tried what is said before in this tried. Once I got managed to see the bootloader but the volume keys weren't working (as above) After some moments of rage, my brother offered to test the touch, I opened the phone, (as I dont have a PIN) we waited for some minutes and then he called me. I mimiced the answering gestured and boom, I could talk with my brother.
I bought a new screen as I think screen is broken. But it could be because mainboards screen part is damaged (probably because of my faulty battery, voltage wavings etc.) or something completely different.
Please guys help me. I can't buy a new phone atm so I have to fix this

Ouch sounds like a rough one :/ OK so you have no visual, but do have touch and audio? Are you s-off or s-on? You could try to "blind feed" the rom.zip of a ruu to the bootloader to try restore it. But it may well be that your battery has killed the screen. Have you ordered a new battery?

I'm S-OFF. I had it written in my old sig.
I too think that it was the battery that killed the screen. Ordered both a screen and a battery but they won't be coming before 20 days at least. Damn you China, why you have to be that far.
Anyhoo, I can't get to the bootloader anymore. Or I think I can't get it. I once managed to get it but volume buttons weren't working. After that in every try I couln't see the bootloader screen. But you're right. When I can't see the bootloader, it doesn't mean I don't get the screen. I could do it with a fellow's help. But only after a few days. I'm getting a surgery in 10 hours. Can't really care about my phone right now

Hey I'm back
First I have to ask, do you get a vibration feedback when you are getting into bootloader by VolDown + Power buttons?

I'm just not sure I can get into bootloader. When I Vol- + Power no vibration, no light on softkeys nothing.
There is no vibration when going to bootloader.

Fullbrick?

I got a Xperia S here from a friend, he says that the screen suddenly turned off when he was using it. But the notification bar was on!
So he gave me the phone, because I want to fix it.
If I plug in the charger, no reaction.
Soft-Reset - No Reaction.
Hard-Reset - No Reaction (No Vibrates)
Trying connect to fastboot mode / flash mode. No Success.
My last chance is to remove the battery for 5 min and then look if the battery will charge or not.
The bootloader is unlocked and there was OpenSEMC beta 2 installed.
Is this a Hardware bricked phone, or a software issue with empty battery?

this sounds like a softbrick, there are lots of threads on fixing such issues, i seem to remember 1 problem was switching off auto lighting and bang the screen goes blank, holding the power and vol up/down for about 15 seconds makes a hard reboot 3 vibes, then plug in via usb and restart with flash tool running might work. there are lots of different help threads that will guide you through this. dont give up.
But Hardreset doesn't work. I already tried it.

Thank but I read already this thread.
I can't remove the battery right now, so I asked you guys if this issue is a Software issue or Hardware issue.
If I can remove battery I will test everything I can and then I'll report.

i think it's hardware issue. cause for it to be software issue it must at least show red led when plugged into the charger.
bring it to service center is a wise choice. but u can try different charger (with bigger amperage output is preferable), and what happen when u plugged it to PC? did the led color shows up?
If I connect to my PC nothing happens.
No Fastboot Mode no Flashmode possible.
I remove the battery the following days, cause I don't have a torx 6 to remove the screws. Must buy one.
Removed Battery and insert it back again. Now trying to charge but no reaction.
If you plug-in a Real charger(Not pc usb), what happen?
Sometimes when the battery is full empty, you have to keep it charges about 15-20 minytes without powering on

Put it in the real Charger, and charged 30 minutes.
But still no reaction. I guess it's a fullbricked Phone now.

HTC ONE M8 EYE ... Hard Bricked ...XDA Genius please help...!!

Hi All
I have an HTC one M8 EYE and i think i have bricked my phone...!!
MY hTC was not showing the sim card and i searched on different forums and found that Wiping Dalvic Cache might able to help.
I tried to get into recovery mode but unfortunately my charging was only 7%. Screen goes off after the initially click on recovery mode but its not turning on now :crying: ....
i tried all alternative pressing power and volume down Combinations ..searched on various forum and you tube but nothing seems to be working.
Now the phone is accepting the charging but not showing up the red light indicator on top.
So, could you please help how to fix this? i only have this phone (no money) .... HTC service centre saying that motherboard or ROM gone..they have to replace that and it cost more than the current value of phone...!! ...pls help..!!!
thanks in advance
Leave your phone on the charger for an hour or so, while plugged in hold the power button and volume up for at least 15 seconds. Does the phone vibrate?

Unless it was applying an update to hboot or radio, it probably can't brick the phone.
It's suspicious that you had low charge, and now it won't power on. You may just be in a lower battery condition, where the battery won't accept a charge. Try leaving the phone on wall charger (not connected to computer) and try the battery combos again. You may need to hold the buttons for a minute or more to force a boot.
But you also should not have been messing with the phone, recovery, etc. with such low battery.
My phone has similar problem but with red light when it's connected to the charger.
Phone doesn't turn on and PC doesn't show anything.
Tried Power and volume up and down combinations many times.
