Hello!
Recently I've been using my Desire and it was going good. Nothing unusual happening. All of a sudden my phone turns off and wont turn back on! I've tried charging it to see if it was out of battery, I've tried pressing down the power button and the volume buttons, but nothing happened! I haven't been doing anything to my phone lately, so I don't know what the problem is.
The screen isn't cracked, but I've dropped it a bit.
Please help.
Had exactly the same issue after 3 weeks of use.
HTC support had to replace the motherboard to fix it.

I went to bed Saturday night without charging my phone and woke up to what I thought was a dead battery. I plugged my phone in, but the charging light did not come on at all. I thought the battery was really dead and needed to be plugged in for a bit before it would activate the charging LED. 5 days later and still no charging LED. I'm using the original HTC charger and have confirmed it to be working by plugging in other devices and they have successfully charged. Some interesting things:
1. Day one, I had it plugged in for about 8 hours and went to see if I could boot into bootloader and it did. However, the phone became unresponsive and shutdown after a few seconds and would not boot again.
2. Holding down the power button + volume down will sometimes get me one vibration and then nothing. Other times the back light on the hardware keys will flash a few times but will not boot.
3. Holding down the power button for 20+ seconds does nothing.
Device info:
I was S-OFF running CM10.2 build 9/16 from Deck
So, is this a bricked device or dead battery/bad charger port? The only reason I thought it might be bricked is some issues I was reading about regarding CM10.2 and TRIM.. not exactly sure though. Any help would be appreciated. I'm on Ting so getting the device repaired isn't an option.
Thanks guys
TRIM was removed prior to the build you're on so that's not the issue. If the charging port doesn't seem to be loose, I'd say your issue lies with the battery itself.

Sounds bricked to me, since you've tried charging so much. Seems similar to a lot of the ways other people found out they're bricked.

Is it possible that dirty flashing wouldn't remove the TRIM stuff? I've been dirty flashing since a July or August build. If that's not the case, I think I might go ahead and just pick up a replacement battery and hope that's the issue. I'd rather do that than buy a whole new device for now.
I just wanted to update this thread in case someone else runs into the issue. I bought a new battery and put it in the phone. Each time I was plugging in the battery, the device would boot to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen and then shut off. After lots of troubleshooting, I found out the issue was with my power button. The button was stuck in the pressed position so it kept turning itself off. I ordered a new power button and I'm back up and running. Hope this helps anyone that might come across this.
So, I posted about this before and got no responses. I basically wrote my DNA off as officially dead, but I'd like to try to fix it if I can.
My DNA randomly started restarting as if the power button were being held down. It would turn off, turn on, start loading the "HTC" splash screen/boot animation and then the capacitive buttons start flashing as if the power button is being held down, and the phone will turn off, and start the cycle again.
I popped the power button off and cleaned up anything going on down there, but even with the power button off it was still doing this. My phone is way beyond a warranty, and I'm pretty handy. I feel confident disassembling this phone and reassembling it if there is a way to fix this. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? That I break my phone? LOL
I've seen other people with this issue but they never got to the point of fixing it because they either had insurance, or a warranty. I've never used cases, and I've never really dropped the phone. It just randomly started happening.
So, what can all of the bright minds at XDA tell me?
I severed my power cable on mine. Just kept it on, then one day it shut off. Couldn't get it back on. It got lost in shipment giving it to someone for parts
In short, don't do what I did as a quick fix.

Hi!
I have an HTC Desire X bricked. So i can charge the phone, the red led lights, but i can't turn it on. I was unlocking bootloader and installing costum rom and in a minute i couldn't turn on the phone. I press the power button for 10-20 seconds but it doesn't start. Can u help me? The pc doesn't recognize the phone.
Hi all,
I have the very same issue with my Desire X I rooted yesterday, following the procedure described on the hackatab website (I cannot post the link here, but you will find it easily on google...)
The strangest part is that I managed to boot it properly 1-2 times, but unfortunately since the back cover was not properly mounted the battery fell while turned on. When I tried to start it again everything went as totika10 described.
Trying the 'lower volume button + power on' technique does not change anything, the phone remains turned off in any case. Another strange, but critical, behaviour is the fact that it randomly vibrates 7 times in a row (even without touching anything...)
Is there something very wrong in the unlocking/rooting procedure? Do you think it is completely worthless trying to recover it?
Thanks a lot for any answer!
The HTC service center near you would surely help you.

HI, Same problem. Please Hellllllllp:crying::crying::crying:
My friend got his new HTC Desire 826 in July 2015. He is having issue with his phone, the screen totally blackouts. He doesn't want to repair the phone because it has no more warranty and will cost much to repair. He asked my help to recover any data possible from his phone.
This was the info I got from him: The phone would restart itself once in a while in the recent few months of use (almost the time that the warranty ended). The screen would black out sometimes, a physical hit on the phone helped to recover it. At the last few moments before the screen totally blackout, the screen showed the mirror image of what it's suppose to show (he had to put it in front of a mirror to read the message). And then it just died and never come alive again. He can't remember whether he set the phone to silent mode.
What I did: Removed and put in the battery, pressing power button gives me a short vibration (I assume that means it can be turned on). Dissemble and reassembled the boards, flex cables etc. No burn mark or broken connection seen. Connect to TV using MHL cable, no signal detected. Soft reset by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP button, it vibrated and screen was still black. Since then, charging after turn on doesn't shows red light below the front camera. The metal cover above the motherboard was usually very hot whenever the phone is on. I'm working like I'm blind, omg >_<.
What's wrong with the phone? What should I do? Possible to repair? Some questions I'd like to ask.
1) Using MHL, does the phone screen need to be working then the TV will show what's on the phone screen?
2) Is there anyway I can connect the phone to other external screen and control externally?
3) I'm hesitant to repair the phone, the heating up of the motherboard scares me that the phone won't last long even after repair. Anyone has this phone and how do u go about this heating issue?
Hey, I've got a problem with my power button.
The problem is that it's completely broken and it's not responding. I have an app that helps me to wake up the screen with shake/double click/ or using sensors. But yesterday I forgot to charge it and now it's turned off. Battery is ok, tried to change it with my brothers battery. It's charging because it shows the charging progress (in %) on screen.
Is there any way to restart the phone? I saw some threads about using volume buttons but it doesn't work for me , even after many tries.
Thanks in advance for your help.
btw. Im not english speaking person, so I hope you will understand everything I wanted to ask
It's sad, but probably you just "killed" your phone.
There is no way to wake it up. Turn ON needs physical switch.
