I had my phone to schedule a soft reset every night at 1am. Woke up this morning, pressed a button to wake it up and nothing, button lights came on nothing else, waited, pressed again exactly the same. Pulled the battery and rebooted, got to the Launching HTC Sense prompt, phone rebooted and doing so in a loop until I pulled the battery again. Have now reflashed back to the stock tmobile uk rom, that I think was developed by a four year old, and it's working. I really don't want to stick with this but again don't want to be flashing my phone every 3 weeks, in two minds whether to drive to tmo headquaters and shove it up someones arse
I'm currently using Artemis 9- best rom I've used. It and radio 2.06 seem to be an excellent combo for me. I'm in London.
Agree totally that the stock Tmob UK rom was pretty shocking. Was fine as long as you never installed anything, or left Sense!

Hey guys,
I've done some searching on this issue, yet I can't find much besides battery problems, or people who have contacted T Mobile and got warranty replacements. I've had some issues with my G1. Over the past month or two, my G1 has been rebooting repetitively, and this week it's gotten BAD. I would open a SMS, and then BAM. Start dialer, and then BAM. Reboot. Hell, even in the middle of a reboot it would reboot. Cool huh?
Anyways I called T-mobile customer support and they said I'm out of warranty. Great. Well, it still turns on, and it still operates when it's happy, so maybe I can work with this for a little bit... I did some searching, and some people attributed it to a software glitch in the gyroscope... Most people called T-mobile and got a warranty replacement. I'm over the one-year
I'm not about to say this is because I had CyanogenMod on it, because I would wipe, and put it back to an older version and it would still reboot... even in the SPL, it would reboot. But regardless, I decided to follow this how-to to unroot my G1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350
After step 6 (6. Push Alt+S on your G1 to flash it with update.zip), it came up with an error about the splash... "Cant store hboot image."
Well anyways, before I could do anything about it, guess what happened?
Yeah, it rebooted.
It came up with the unboxing logo at first, I didn't know what to do. I had forgotten what this meant, so I heled the power button down ( I realize this may have been the misteak I made, however there was nothing visual indicating anything was being done).
It shut down, the screen went blank, the charge LED remained on....
I pressed power.... Nothing.
I unplugged the phone, took out the battery.... put the battery back in... Nothing. The screen stayed black. Now my phone will not power up, and there is no LED charging indicator.
Anyways, I'm lost. This is my second G1. I'm slightly pissed and I feel bad for the T-Mobile rep on the other end of the call I just had, but, really, I can't spend $1200 a year on a slow phone.
Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
Home+power does nothing.
Camera+power does nothing.
Putting in the cable lights up no LEDs...
It is literally a brick. An unresponsive brick.
Well, I ended up taking the mainboard out of my old phone and putting it in this G1.... Everything should be back to normal however I'm still looking for responses as to what might be happening.
Hi Guys, flashed my phone with a Xanny rom months back, the phone has worked faultlessly before & since.
On Sunday i was in the middle of sending a text and the screen froze, i could see everything ok on the screen but the phone didn't respond to my touch. I got it going by pushing the reset button. The phone booted up ok but the screen alignment was out, I then started the alignment process, which went round in circles for 7 minutes, Eventually the alignment finished. Monday i noticed that the more I used the phone the more the alignment skewed out, every time i recalibrated the screen alignment it took ages. I hard reset the phone, it was the same. I flashed a stock orange rom, it was the same.
I admitted defeat this morning and rang orange, as the phone is more than 6 months old they put me on to HTC, its being picked up tomorrow by ups, turn around "should be less than 7 days".
All in all I'm very disappointed, my previous PDA was an HP iPAQ 4700. I used it daily for work & social use for 5 years, with never a problem.
When the touch came along I felt here was a device that improves on the iPAQs screen, so i went and bought one. A bit miffed that it has failed already, I'm a bit OCD with my gadgets so its never been dropped or knocked is always in its custom made padded leather case and has had a screen cover on from new. In fact it is unmarked, i hope it still will be when/if it comes back.
I just need to know he'll pull through !!

Update 13/03/2010
Right just got off the phone to HTC. Not very impressed.
They have quoted me £162 for the repair, It needs a main board as I have "cooked" my ROM, and a digitizer. I had flashed my phone with a xanny rom 6 months ago, but put a stock orange rom in before it went back. How they found out I've no idea, I pointed out to the bloke on the phone (when i could understand what he was saying) that the rom has no impact on the touch screen & could i just have the touch screen replaced and leave the main board, but no the rom is stock now but had been changed before and as such you need a new main board, even though it works fine. Complete b*****ks. When my contract is up I shall not be buying another HTC, fools.
So bugger 'em i say, i've paid to have it sent back, and i've found a digitizer on ebay for £14, i'll fix it myself... Has anyone got a link to instructions on how to take it apart ? if not I'll wing it

its prolly fine, they will prolly just put a new digitizer on it.
***Bump***
before you sended it back did you replace the spl whit the standard one
thats probably the reason how the found out it has been flashed
I have exactly the same problem as D4D. I have never dropped or get wet my phone but 2 days ago while I was typing a message or something I felt that screen does not responds correctly. It was very difficult to unlock my phone and type as well. Hard reset couple of times without success. The phone started normally, the alignment process passes, i have to calibrate more times than usual - 2 to 5 passes but the issue remains.
Then I flashed stock ROM - no improvement, put back the cooked ROM - again no improvement. The phone is still in warranty but I flashed many cooked ROMs on it. So what should I do ?

Hi everyone, I tried find thread with similar problem, but none was same, I have my htc touch hd around year, custom energy rom, everything working fine, last week first time phone turn off itself, I was just thinking maybe was me by accident, but today done already four times, there is no any problem turning on like different people said, no any stuck button, doesn't need to reset phone, or remove battery, everything working just fine.., never drop or hit to something, never split water on it, I tried reinstall rom to different, same, reinstall radio still turn off itself, most times when in pocket, please any advice or help...
many thanks..
looks like fresh SPL done job, phone if fine today all day, no more turning off..
Let us know how it goes after the fresh SPL. When my Touch Hd had the same problem as yours 1 day later it became non-resposive and got the BLACK screen of death. Lucky I had 1 day left for my warranty so I flashed back to stock ROM and stock SPL. I sent the phone to HTC Global centre for warranty repair and they replaced the motherboard.
for the moment going strong, already looks like battery life improved, and no more turning off..
On my second HD2, I had missed flashed the it, forgetting to flash it with HSLP first, so not surprisingly, It bricked. 1st the LED wouldn't even come on when plugged in. After accidentally leaving it plugged in for about 2 days, I noticed the light cam back on.
After trying to boot it, It only stayed at the Tmo splash screen over and over...so I decided to just leave it at the screen, Hours went by, and it stay a that horrible pink stick together screen. Then I fail asleep.
This morning I mistakenly picked it up thinking it was my other one, and to my surprise, I hit the power button, and it was working normally, even had the custom ROM. So I re-flashed everything correctly this time, and BAM, another HD2 up and running.
Maybe this set and forget technique will work for others sometime. IDK...lol
Hi all,
Hopefully this wasnt covered before- I used the search function and it didnt return any results, at least not for my specific scenario.
I've had this 6p for about 18-20 months roughly. Been my best phone by far, and I've been very happy with it(normally i replace my phones every 8-12 mos because I need the latest and greatest lol).
About six months ago I threw PureNexus on there with I believe Flash kernel. Worked flawlessly, and I've been really happy with it.
About a week ago, it powered off on its own but i had it in my back pocket so I just assumed it was an accidental reboot. However, this morning, I woke up, threw it on the charger for about 30 minutes, got to about 60%, and unplugged it. While I was using the browser, it froze up for a minute then shut down. No bueno. Cannot get it to power back on. No power light while charging. I did what others have had luck with, holding power, and/or power/down for several minutes, still nothing.
I reached out to Project Fi, and they want a 500 dollar hold to send me out a refurb replacement. I know they release the funds in approximately 12 days but we had a recent death in the family and I just cannot afford to have 500 bucks locked up, especially right now. Spoke w a supervisor, apologized, but said nothing they can do.
On a whim, I plugged it into the pc, and it DOES detect it but its the dreaded QHSUSB_BULK under 'other devices'. So that tells me its at least got power, but, I'm unsure if just trying to use adb(i havent in a while, not since i did the initial rom install but im sure i can find instructions) to attempt to throw the base image back on there, will work, or which direction to go.
I found this but I dont think its for my specific phone but thought maybe there was a set of instructions for this particular phone similar to these:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/fix-fix-qhusbbulk-cm12-t3059518
I have seen several reports of this error happening when flashing the wrong rom, or using the wrong image, but never just all of a sudden when its been running like a champ.
any thoughts? thanks in advance.
Nexus 6p is plagued with issues like shutting down at certain percentages and the dreaded bootloop of death. You could get in contact with Google heard even people out of warranty having success. Could also have a shop replace the battery in some cases that fixed the shutdowns.
If it doesnt boot up at all I can't help you. If you can get to bootloader, flash stock image, un-root, re-lock your phone. see if it boots. I had to do all this, this morning. Phone would just shut off at 80%, reset and hang at the google sign. I could only get to into the main system with a hard reset every time. then it would reset and lock up. So i reverted it to stock and we will see how it goes. So far its been 6 hrs and no random resets and its in full use.
Yea, the problem is, I cant. Its not even a boot loop. Just looks like its dead. Held the power button down for roughly 10 minutes out of desperation.
The odd thing is, if i plug it into my pc it shows how i mentioned in my initial post. So it must have juice even though the power light/etc isnt on and it doesnt show charging.
Last hope I think i have is to run it out of battery leaving it on the table, then hope somehow when i plug it into charge, that resets it somehow since it was dead, and maybe clears whatever the issue is. Very odd considering it was working fine until this.
Your phone is stuck in the EDL mode when its detected as QHSUSB__BULK. There are solution for this but i dont know if this solution is combined with data loss or not and i try to find that out recently. I also still dont know how to fix that with linux.
