Did you do a ruu?

It's in the general forum.

If it doesn't work someone better than me will answer

PS. At this price you could've bought a s6312 galaxy young
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
Well. To flash RUU I need to flash some images which requires the phone to enter fastboot mode. But the phone is not showing any htc logo or boot menu by starting it. It is just making a vibration. Any other alternative to enter fastboot mode?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Well, those HTC guys sure did some damage.I think they erased hboot also. Well, did you try to connect phone to PC, adb and USB. sometimes, it automatically connects through fastboot,without mentioning

It in the phone,I think . So, try ruu anyway.

PS.Not a soft brick, but a hard one ;)

You can try pming [MENTION=4621813]legen_dary[/MENTION]
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
tried connecting to PC and run adb and fastboot commands but the PC does not recognise the device when connected through USB it just makes a sound though like when u connect a pen drive. am i missing anything here.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
Well, the HTC people may be dumb as f#(% around here, but you should never tell them you're rooted...

Now what you have seems like either a hard brick, or a display issue... If you dont wanna take matters into your own hands, go to the HTC service center, and tell them to repair your phone.. When they give the "your phone is rooted" excuse, tell them you'll pay the repair costs, but just to repair your phone... Take your dad or older brother or a couple of friends with you.. And make sure you can talk freely, n be ready to shout at them.. If you cant, take someone who can.. Htc crew in india is stupid enough to not be able to fix your problem, you can catch them red-handed..

Just remember that no matter what they tell you, you keep insisting that they repair your phone, under any circumstances... If they say its against company policy and all, demand to see the policy.. Talk to the goddamn owner of the center, regional manager, national manager, etc..

Unko aata nhi hoga na, isliye woh log har type ki excuse denge... Agar aise hi excuse dete rhe, to last mein taunt maarke aana, ki "service center khol ke baithe ho, aur ku6 aata nhi hai.. Bandh kr do!!" or something like that...

If nothing works, then come back here, and we'll try it the "hard" way...

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
Firstly thanx a lot for your comprehensive reply. but the sad news is i did the cursing part already as soon as i found the no display on the phone. Infact they are ready to repair the device but only at a cost of 5.5K, which i feel is a little too much for a mobile of worth 8.5K. And when i asked about erasing the hboot issue for a simple soft brick problem, they said and i quote, " sir its not possible to identify the issue unless we open the device but once the device is opened there might be some problems but you could get it repaired for quoted price". only after i explained them how dumb they sound the customer care personnel asked me to give the device once again at the service center from where they would send it to bangalore like they did previously. as i know it would take another 2 months to get my device back and also i don't have much hope on the htc guys at bangalore as well, as they quoted 5.5K for the repair. So what do you think I should do because spending 5.5K for an 8.5K mobile doesn't seem justified for me.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
Hmm.. Ok.. What they're probably gonna do to "repair" your phone, is that they'll switch out the circuits with another pico..

You can do that urself.. You need to find a damaged pico.. You'll have to face some costs.. But if you can find a body/display damaged pico, whose board inside is intact, we can try and swap it with yours..

This method is also not full proof, and it may or may not work...

But worth a try if you really wanna revive your phone..

PS : have you asked them what the issue is?? And what they're gonna do to fix it?? What is it that they're doing, thats gonna cost you 5.5k, for a 20 day old phone??

If not, ask them.. Talk directly to the Bangalore service center if you must..

Isn't there any other software method to repair his phone?

PS.They ask that much even for a normal ruu,~~~ just for rooting.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
If his device doesnt respond at all, to neither fastboot nor adb, then there's a very slim chance of something "software" working...

ғг๏๓ ҭђє ғเรђ™
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
You are right. The stupid HTC guys damaged your phone. Under normal circumstances Android doesn't even have read access to the HBOOT partition even when it's rooted.

If the hardware is not damaged the phone can be revived even if all partitions including the HBOOT and radio are wiped! Anyone with suitable JTAG hardware can do it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622178

as said in the thread above my phone does give a vibration when i press the power button. so i kinda have a little hope that it could be repaired without the hard way.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
If your device is detected by fastboot then you can try flashing an RUU. Do you have the necessary drivers? Have you installed the latest version of HTC Sync?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
yuh. i have installed the latest version of htc sync. which drivers are you talking about?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
HTC Sync includes the USB drivers that are necessary for your device to get detected by fastboot. Has your device been previously detected by HTC Sync?

Also try different USB ports (USB 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
i just noticed while trying to connect the phone to PC through USB a small red light flashed in the top right corner. does that mean anything?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
That's the proximity sensor(used during calls ). Don't know why its turning on ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
It's the phone's proximity sensor. Is your battery charged BTW?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
previously it used to detect my device through htc sync but not now. is it because i don't click on the options(charge only or disk drive) that show up when i used to connect to pc. in the my computer folder, device is being shown as a removable disk but when i click on it it just says insert a disk. and i dont have memory card in the phone now as well. should i insert one and see what happens.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
yup it is charged.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
That's a bug in Windows. It happens with me too. Sometimes it even shows two disk drives before I actually mount anything!

The option that you have selected inside Android doesn't change anything here.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] galaxyfreak:
Red light-There was a guy that have same problem after pico fell to water. Seems its sign of hardware problem

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Just noticed this thread

On The other hand I have a friend who actually claimed a warranty and replacement for his hardbricked wildfire.. Even though he had unlocked thru htc dev.

That was July last year

I'm on my tab
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
last time when given in the service center they found that i unlocked it. so not possible to do that i guess
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
May be they don't check htc dev,but just the device.. .since wildfire is hardbricked ~may be there wasn't a way to tell, whether its locked /unlocked
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Even I havent understood the token generation saga till now?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] White Halo 29:
Dear Friend after reading the whole scene, i remember my brothers pico having same condition after falling into water.

And he got it repaired under 2500 INR, in pune(Only screen got damaged and was replaced). And to some extent i feel yours is a display problem because when you try to switch it on in fastboot mode it starts with a vibration showing phone is switched on but becaus eof not recieving input it stays that way.....

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

You can try this thing to better understand the problem::::

1)Charge your phone(I know u cant see but still connect it and let it be like that for 20-30 mins)

2) take out battery and reinsert

3) Switch it on normally

4) wait for 5-10 mins (supposing a display problem) and let it switch on.

5)Supposing it switched on, make a call to your mobile, if internals are right, maybe your phone will ring.

6) If doesnt ring that means may be a mother board issue if rings surely a display issue....

[MENTION=5216196]nareen4768[/MENTION]

my friend faced same problem.. his phone was hard bricked somehow. so when he asked pune service center they knew that the phone was rooted so they said it will cost you 3000 and blah blah blah..

so the guy got in next bus to mumbai, went to service center in mumbai, and got his phone replaced in 2 days... :p:p

you can try that if you want
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] The1sameer:
Try another service center :P :P
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nareen4768:
thnx a lot guys for your inputs. i got it repaired finally at hyderabad service center. as the hboot menu was erased he couldnt findout that i rooted my device. but he did say that it was not under warranty as the previous service center guys removed some cover at the back. but after a little discussion he agreed to repair it under warranty and did so in 2 days by replacing the board. its good as new now. thanks again guys. :)

Gents,

Slightly off topic, so please bear with me.

My M1000 has had a problem ever since I got it. The camera seems out of focus as soon as I try to make pictures past say 1,5 meters. Would the serrated ring around the camera lens perhaps be used to focus the device?

Thanks!

Stefan out
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rayan:
I tried to move the serrated lens just to play with it and see if I could get better focus and remember that it was really hard as if it was glued or something. :cry:

However, I didn't apply much force but seems like it's meant to be some sort of focus adjustmet, specially because it looks very close to the lens in my webcam when disasembled.

Should you give it a try, let us know...

I have a similar sound problem, but I don't think it is to do with the speaker itself, I think there is some problem with the audio jack. i don't have headphones so i don't know if the jack is working properly. Anyway I found the soud would totally cut out but If I pressed the main navigation button down it would come back on for a while,.... then cut out randomly.

Long story short, I traced it to the audio jack. I have an XDA2 and when you take off the back slider to reveal the bettery, there are two small square on the left and right which look like they lead to the circuits below. the one on the right, you can see the audio jack through it. I stuffed a little bit of foam in there, and put the lid on and voila! the sound works.

It's not foolproof, and it's not perfect. anyone think I have anything to gain by opening the phone myself with the above instructions??

......IB a n e
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rayan:
@Bane-

Try to find a headset plug that fits (2.5 mm) and insert it and release it several times, since many people have fixed it with this. Inside the jack there's a flexible connector and sometimes it just does not return to make contact.

However, it sounds like a bad solder point to me... :? Which means opening the XDA2 and solder the points, but obviously you need the correct tools and a steady hand to do this. (Not for the faint of heart). A little more heat than necessary and kiss it goodbye!

Good luck!

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BANE:
Rayan:

Thank you for the responce. Well I went and bought a 2.5 mm converter, and I did what you said. No help, and the headphones don't work when plugged in, so yeah it probably is a problem with the solder or something. I am, however, not inclined to opening the unit. the soldering iron I have is HUGE lol, and I wouldn't want to risk it, when I have the sound 'working' in the botched way I mentioned above. Lets hope it stays working lol.

the button itself dont call an exe file as exe files are binary files thats why it's named

exe as in executable file

when the pda is off it cant execute files

as the cpu is off

but you can get programs which turn off the pda if thats what you want
