Before anyone jumps on me, I've been going through the Wiki and forums extensively, and found just one similar problem. Which wasn't solved...
My HTC TyTN/Hermes 200 won't boot up anymore. It is totally dead. I even can't get it into bootloader mode. Screen stays blank and the LED is off.
Put the (3 months old) battery in another Hermes to test it, and it's at 100% charge.
My Hermes shows a steady red LED when it's plugged into power without the battery in, and no LED at all when the battery is installed. The red LED turns off when the battery is installed while there's power going into the unit.
I've left the battery out for at least an hour, plugged it back in, same results. Like the other guy I tried the "pull power, pull battery, plug in power, plug in battery, reset" trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286469&p=1077622 - to no avail.
Does anyone have any last resort ideas on how to get it to at least come back up to a boot loader screen ?

In the past few days I have received some email messages with well-meant tips and tricks , which I already had tried myself. Nothing worked however ... The damn thing is totally dead .
I have obtained another (2nd hand) Hermes 200 in the meantime, in perfect condition and at a fair price, so I am back in the Hermes business again.
I will use the old one for parts, should I ever need them.
Sorry I could not help.
MfG
I am waiting for my Treo 750 without camera to arrive from USA which I ordered
in wise foresight.
I will probably buy a used Hermes with broken display and switch the boards and
use that one as replacement.
Thanks anyways...but what I find strange is that so many Tytns die at the same
time and this more often for the Tytn II generation.
Have a nice weekend!
Cheers
Hello all!
A friend of mine gave a Mozart today for repair. The glass is broken bad but the LCD is intact! The phone itself behaves very strange! When I power it ON (or plug the AC charger/USB Cable) The HTC Logo appears and sits there for around 15 - 20 secs then it reboots itself and the process repeat itself till I unplug the cable. Then it just turns off.
Bootloader works!
I tried to factory reset it (both volume buttons at power on) it didn't help!
I flashed the official Mango RUU but the problem persists!
The phone have not been modified by any way (HSPL, Custom ROMS etc.)
Ideas?
just send it to the service center, lucky if the warranty still exists. If the warranty dead already, then I think it's okay to spend a little money for the beloved mozart. currently, I have no idea what should you do.. If I were you, I would possibly done that. Either way it goes, seems that it needs an original hTC 7 Mozart's Display screen. (If you see hTC on below the main speaker, the hTC is written in the screen's display)..
I already ordered the screen and I'll change it no problem. The thing that is bothering me is why the phone wouldn't start like it should!
Update!
I've just replaced the digitaizer but the problem persist! The phone boots, shows the HTC logo, stays that way for some seconds and either reboots (if connected to cable USB/AC) or just turns off (in not connected) Bootloader works! I even HSPL the device and tried some custom ROMs. Every time the same thing! Before the HSPL I tried some official RUUs but no change! Some times while holding some of the keys I'm able to make it show the ZUNE Update screen! ( the black screen with a PC and a phone waiting to connect) then ZUNE tells me that there is no restore point (which is right) and tells me that I can disconnect the phone!
HELP!
dear friend
go to the original rom.
i had the same problem with the booting.
Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC EVO 3D. I've been using it for a year and everything was fine until yesterday. I was playing Real Racing 3 when my phone suddenly restarted and then turned off before I could enter my PIN code and didn't boot up. I thought that it might have overheated or it was some crash or something, I put the phone to charging and it easily turned on (I must mention, that there were about 70% battery left). I charged my phone and didin't use it whole afternoon. In the evening, I was trying to unlock my phone (with about 70% of battery) when suddenly the same happened again - the phone restarted and before entering PIN code turned off at all. After that I wasn't able to boot my phone.
I tried charging it with original HTC AC charger and also using my laptop and even a car charger, but nothing changes.
When the phone is not plugged in to charging, it doesn't show any signs of being alive. I tried pressing volume down/up/camera buttons + power on button, taking off the battery for about an hour, charging the phone for ~6 hours. Nothing works.
However, I realised that when I connect the phone to my laptop, there is a 'new device is connected' sound, but I am not able to access my memory card or do something else. Also, when the phone is charging, the red charging light is on, which after a few hours turns to green and after some more time disappears at all. When trying to turn on the device while it is charging the red light disappears as soon as the power button is released ant comes back after about 20 seconds.
Sorry for such long story and for my bad English. I am very disappointed. I still have a warranty, but I dont want to take the phone there, because the fixing lasts at least 2-3 weeks and also since I'm unable to boot my phone, there are a lot of my personal information in it, such as passwords,messages, bookmarks and so on, left.
So, is there anything I could do or should I take my phone to service?
P.S. The phone is not rooted and never was. Everything is original and up to date.

Perhaps try a new battery or take it in and have them try one. Sounds like a battery issue.

Thanks. I took it to service. I hope they'll repair it.
I finally got my HTC back a few days ago. They changed the motherboard and I had to buy a new battery since the old one was dead and warranty for it was only a year.
But I've faced several unexpected crashes during these few days. I think 3 or maybe 4 times when I took the phone after not using it for couple of hours and tried to unlock it, the phone didn't unlock and instead turned on. I really don't like this, because if my phone turns off whenever it wants, I may be unreachable
Does anyone knows what that means and what should I do if this keeps happening?

This happens on stock rom?

Yes, the soft has always been and is stock.
Then it must be a hardware issue. If your warranty has not expired, take it to the warranty service.

Well as I said I dont want to take it there because it takes about three weeks or more till I get back my phone.. It would be the third time in two months and it really annoys me.
Couldn't this be software issue? I mean I've been reading some similiar threads and I found out that some app might be killing the phone. So I did hard reset yesterday and after that installed only well known essential apps (Google services and some others) and after that the phone didin't crash for almost two days. Unfortunately, it did turned off a few minutes ago. I've installed only 8 Ball Pool and Smart Keyboard Pro recently, so I will try unninstalling them both and let's hope the phone won't crash again. Is there any ideas what else may I do in case it doesn't work?

Id recommend doing a factory reset on the phone and not installing any app for at least a week to confirm its not a hardware issue, but I strongly believe it is. If it fails youll have to take it to a sprint store and hope the clerk is in a good mood and give you a new phone the same day.
try a new battery
The battery is new, I had to buy it only a week ago, because the service stated that the old one was dead.
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.
