[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwasp:
hi for everyone

i think i have a big problem

my desire is broken.some days ago i upgraded my mobile via ota and my phone closed it is not opening now.when i intend to upgrade rom or use offical rom my phone closes and i have to wait for a while without its battery plugged to open.

when i wait for an hour by unplugging the battery it opens for 2 or 3 minutes nd closes again.

i cannot make goldcard because of not opening.or bootloader uprade downgrade

i cannot load official or any other rom it sometimes shakes 5 or 6 times.

my mobile phone is not branded in my country some of my friend brought it from foreign country so i cannot send it to service

how can i repair it.what do you suggest
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwasp:
sorry i forgot

my device shows on bootloader

bravo pvt1 ship s-on

hboot-0.93.0001

microp-031d

touchpanel-synt0101

radio-4.06.00.02.2

is it rooted or not.i cannot root it because it doesnt open 3 or 4 second

when it opens i enter my personal info like i purchased first then it closes
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirhcchris:
Tough situation. I haven't thought of this stuff in 5 months so I may be wrong. Don't hold me to this but I think there may be a way to change the boot loader via the SD card. I think I read it a few weeks ago. I remember it because I thought it may come in handy someday. I'll take a look and see if I can find the link again. Not so sure about the root. Can you get in to the boot loader? Press the power button while holding the vol down?

Either way I'd try unrevoked on it. If its booting then running for a few minutes, unrevoked may be able to catch it and do its thing. With that done you can go on to change the radio and Rom at will.

It sounds like you will be able to fix it but its going to take a lot of reading. All of the information you need is here. Finding it is always the problem.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwasp:
yes i can get into bootloader but when i try to upoad offical ruu rom 1.21.405 it closes and everything repeats again

tthanks my friend if you help me i glad to you.....thanks....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirhcchris:
Ok here's what I would do.

1. Go to unrevoked.com and select your phone. Download the package for the desire.

2. Check if it will work with hboot 93. Mine uses 83. There were issues with 93 back when the desire was first rooted. Unrevoked is now version 3, this may have solved the issues. Maybe someone with more recent experience can comment on that.

3. Get the radio and Rom you want. I'm using leedroid 2.3b and the newest radio. This can be found on the development section of this site.

4. If everything checks out, restart in bootloader and plug in your phone. It will ask for the Android 1.0 drivers which are in the unrevoked package. Point the installer to the location of the drivers and let it install. Unplug your phone and open unrevoked. It will say waiting for device.

5. This is where I'm not sure what will happen. Try restarting the phone normally and plug it in. It may pick up the device and restart it in bootloader to automatically do its thing and install clockworkmod. If so then you are home free.

6. Read all of the instructions for flashing radio and roms. Restart your phone, in boot loader. Don't press anything until the green words have appeared and disappeared. Select recovery & press the power. Count to 5 and press power + up volume. This can be tricky and you may have to do it a few times to get the hang of it.

7. The radio & rom must be stored on your SD card. Follow the instructions from the Rom cook to do the rest. Mostly, select zip from sdcard and apply for Rom. Then radio in 2 separate restarts. You should wipe all data.... wait a minute. Did you wipe all user data from your phone before upgrading? That may be causing the restart!

Let me know....

You need to learn all you can about the things you are about to do. Read all the instructions you find and do lots of searching. You are your warranty in this game!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reidar.ostrem:
Hi All!

When running a Sense rom, the phonecalls do not connect to my bluetooth handsfree if I pick up the call via the screen, but when I pick up via the bluetooth handsfree the audio is routed to the handsfree set. This is what I want and call normal behavior.

I'm currently running an AOSP rom on my Desire and with all the AOSP rom's i've tried the phonecalls gets routed to the handsfree set regardless of picking up via screen og handsfree set. Is there a setting that I have overlooked or does a hack exist to solve this ?
[Desire HD General] Abdullu:
I noticed there are several questions in the Desire HD subforums relating to hardware-specific questions. For example, "is FM radio transmission possible" or "Does the HTC Desire HD support analog TV out via its USB connection".

Such questions could be answered if we take a glimpse at how the Desire HD looks from the inside. I have been searching for a disassembly (or teardown) for the Desire HD on the web, but I couldn't find one yet. I'm talking about something similar to this video ( youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU ... disassembling the "Desire without HD") or this iFixIt photo guide ( ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One-Teardown/1654/1 ... tearing down the Nexus One).

I see two possible solutions to this problem:

1. Someone dares to disassemble his or her Desire HD, making step-by-step photos and making high-quality scans of the individual PCBs/FCBs, earning lots of kudos from the community.

2. We distributively collect money, order a Desire HD, disassemble it, document the process, assemble it back again, sell it, and donate the money for a good cause.

Who is up for either solution 1 or solution 2?
[Desire HD General] malte41:
i already tried it :-)

the 7 screws inside are obviously.

i removed them.... and that was the end for me. there must be a weird "slide" trick to remove the back-panel (as far as i can see). i didn`t get it.

This was my first try... i need some days to think about. Probably there will be another one. When i found the trick i make some photos.
[Desire HD General] xp79:
Not that I need a tear down, but I would be more than happy to donate to an XDA supported tear down presuming it was ran by a respected member of the community.
[Desire HD General] malte41:
Yesterday i talked to http://www.HTCrepairParts.com

They told me they probably will make a repair vid in the near future.

sorry for my weird english - it is not my native language.
[Desire HD General] Abdullu:
malte, The usual HTCRepairParts videos are not high-resolution enough to see the board layouts in order to derive schematics. But maybe you can ask for, besides the videos, they also provide high-resolution scans/still images of the circuit boards. These would be awesome to have.
[Desire HD General] pezza313:
I have also been looking for a disassembly guide everywhere because after nearly being hit by a car I cracked the digitizer on my DHD. I have order a new with included tools off ebay for $50 and while I have been waiting for it to arrive I have been trying to find one. Even emailed repairsuniverse.com to see when they will be writing up a guide but was told they will do in future.

Hopefully some brave person can help us out.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
There is someone that took the Desire Z apart (can't recall link now), but it shows you the innards which will be pretty much identical to the DHD.

Edit: Here is the link. :)
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
though also is not the interior itself but how to disassemble it ;)
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
this is off topic but the HTC repairs website has a 1600mA battery

has anyone tested it yet?
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
Any news on the guide?
[Desire HD General] bzpwhx2:
Hi, yes I have 1600mA I can say that it seems the same to me i dunno but seems Chinese crap

Anyway 9.00 am 17pm doing an average use of all functions.
[Desire HD General] hrkfdn:
you don't necessarily need to tear it apart to see whether it has an fm transmitter.

we know that it features a bcm4329 chip, which is able to do..

.. note the fm

tx

and rx.

always remember, a lot of knowledge can be acquired by analyzing/reversing the software as well. we have access to the radio software, the bootloader, the kernel, etc.. it's just a question of time and effort.

in the fm transmitter case, one would probably have to write a kernel driver according to a datasheet or similar and a frontend. unless this chip is different from the one advertised on the broadcom site..

at least that's the theory.
[Desire HD General] McKebapp:
Hey Guys,

I'm selling my X10i atm and await my Desire HD this weekend (already bought one).

Is there any lighting beside the display and the status led on this phone?

If there is, I'll write a guide, like I did for the X10i (see my signature).

If not... well... We'll see if I find a suitable matter for ripping it apart :D
[Desire HD General] sengork:
I find it funny how companies don't make full use out of the components in their phones. If they were a bit more adventurous they'd allow you officially to enable TX on radio via a pay for software update.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
+1...would be really nice :)

DN41
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
This may be a bad option but say, wouldn't a dummy HD be assembled in the same way as a HD, apart from the innards of course, but once you know how to tear apart a dummy, then you can proceed to tear apart a HD because you know how to take apart the back?
[Desire HD General] bergfex:
The picture of the digizer from the htcrepairparts side shows a chip on cable of the digizer, can you tell us what does on this chip stands.

I am interessted if the Desire HD uses the Atmel maxTouch or the Synaptics Clearpad 3000 Touch controller.
[Desire HD General] colintd:
The trick...

I gave in today and have learnt the "trick" top opening a DHD. You need to remove the 4 small screws (one either side of the SIM cover, two under the battery cover) and then you need to remove the 5th screw hidden under the flash housing.

The flash housing (the plastic round the flash with a soft touch texture) is a clip in unit, with a lip under the case side and a small lip at the bottom. There are three clips, one pretty much middle top, the other two on the lens side, just above and below the LED flash. Like most clips you need to gently ease out with a plectrum or knife blade. I would suggest top first.

The bottom edge of the case can then be popped out and the top slid upwards about 6mm before being removed.

You need to take great care not to damage the volume buttons on removal or the status leds next to the earphone grill. Make sure you lift the case away from these areas when removing.

Interestingly during reassembly I trapped the volume assembly and it brought up a diags menu on boot offering choices such as SIM Lock, FastBoot and Image CRC. I believe this was cause by holding both volume buttons down while powering up (though I needed to go out with my phone working, so didn't explore further, rather just properly set the volume control in the case).

Not the easiest phone to open, but I've seen worse.
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
Pictures please how to remove the flash housing for fifth screw :)
[Desire HD General] colintd:
The only camera I had when I took it apart was the phone itself, which was obviously no good!

Anyway, I've taken the flash housing off again and have a couple of photos. The second time I found the easiest way to take apart was with a thin knife blade along the lens side of the cover to get things initially free, and then a careful working apart.

The location of the 5th screw is obvious once the flash cover is removed, but in the photo is on the far right.
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
That would be awesome if you could :D.

As for lighting, flashlight/notification and buttons LED...
[Desire HD General] McKebapp:
I've received the phone yesterday.

Holy Crap!

Switching from X10i to DHD is like switching a Volkswagen Polo for a BMW 7 Series :eek:

Mine is running Android 2.3.1 @ 1.5Ghz right now.

To be honest: I don't like to disassemble _mine_, because its running that good.

But if anyone dares to send me his/her one :D

Lets see, what my opinion is in a week or two :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] colintd:
I've been playing with taking the case off a bit more and have a couple more tips.

First, the place to insert a tool to remove the flashcover is on the lens side exactly half way up. Go in a little then push tool handle in the direction of the lens, starting to lift off the flash cover.

Secondly, once you've removed all the screws, don't slide off the cover, instead lift up the sin end until the back is at about 30 degrees to the screen. The slide off. This avoids scraping the volume control or the led lightpipe on the right of the earpiece.

I'll send more photos as I get the time.

[Desire HD General] who knows:
phone would be perfect if the sound was louder, possibly changing the speaker to a galaxy s 1?
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
I'm sure you'd need the divers, might be able to get then from the galaxy s roms
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
I think this is down to the software limiting the volume of the speaker, can anyone comfirm its been fixed with the 1.72 OTA? As i'm still stuck on 1.32 at the moment.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
Can't compare them. But i think the software limitation is necessary, cause without it the speaker could be damaged.

[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
I removed those 5 screw and still everything was stuck solid with the aluminium body :/
[Desire HD General] malte41:
I did it. Full disassmbled and build together again within two hours (and it still works as you can see). Separated mainboard and display. If i would do it again i am sure i can do it in 10min. (only disassambly)... it is „easy“ if you know how to do it.

It was useless for me because i had some dirt under/in the display. I could not open the display part. There are no screws or anything else to start with. Too bad... right now i only got the dhd camera so i could not make some pictures. My digi-cam is in spain... my mom take it with her. She will be back on 7. feb (as far as i remember).

Sent from my DHD using the force...
[Desire HD General] DN41:
**** :P a full disassembly would have been soo nice ;)

you mean the digitizer and the lcd?`

afaik from other phones, they're glued together...

as seen in other teardowns, you have to heat up the glue to make it liquid again.

just my 2 cents ;)

DN41
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
You only removed those 5 little screws to take the inside from the aluminium body? Or you had to unscrew those extra 3 screws in the middle of section near the SIM card?

P.S.

My WiFi and Bluetooth along with volume down button refuse to work :/

Need to squeeze the phone in order to make them work :/
[Desire HD General] malte41:

hi,

I found this:

ht tp://forum.frandroid.com/topic/40711-demontage-desire-hd-tombe-dans-leau/

unfortunately, the pics aren't that good.I cannot see if the screen and the digitizer are glued together.
[Desire HD General] mikecoffee:
They are together, when buy parts its screen and digi together,
[Desire HD General] HTimC:
I've disassembled my DHD. Unfortunately, I can't get the digitizer and LCD loose from each other. I've had my DHD in the oven to heat the glue but it didn't work. I've had it in the oven for 5 minutes at 70 degrees Celsius. I didn't dare to put it there any longer. My screen is shattered so I still want to replace my digitizer.

Anyone some tips for the glue?
[Desire HD General] rooparam:
it would be nice if u can upload video of your "tricks"
[Desire HD General] colintd:
I'll see what I can do on the video front.

In terms of taking the back off, once the 5 screws are undone that's it. You lift the bottom of the case away from the rest of the phone till it is about 20degrees, then slide forward to unhook from the screen and light sensor. When starting the tilt, depending on the phone, you may need to unclick the back from the phone along the edges. On mine I get a faint sense of the clips undoing, but they aren't tight and don't require any special attention.

Replacing is the same in reverse, with a little care to make sure the volume control is positioned right relative to the buttons.
[Desire HD General] DDani:
Hi guys,

this is my first post in xda developers, and the first thing of all, is thank to people like colintd or HTimC, who is giving us a lot of information in how to repair / fix our DHD's.

In my case, my phone felt down two days ago, and and impacted against the floor just behind the SIM cover. As a weird result, the LCD screen was damaged, but not the digitizer.

I have been looking how to replace the LCD for a couple of days, and this thread is the closest information to what I am trying to do, which is to replace the LCD myself, since here in Spain nobody trust in the HTC service (delays, wrong repairs, etc.)

If anyone gets information in how to split / join the digitizer from the LCD I would really apreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

[Desire HD General] DDani:
Danke mein freund :D .

I have found a couple of them in Amazon DE and UK.

However, seeing the french pics from two pages before, I don't see how to arrive to the LCD. I don't have any problem in to buy a complete set of LCD + Digitizer, but the last screen of our colleages at Frankreich shows that they have only arrived to a part of a metal cover that seems to cover the LCD + digitizer, something different of how it should look if I compare the picture with the one of the parts sellers.

I would paste some links, but since I am new at XDA I am not able to do it yet (until 8 posts...) however, just look for OEM HTC DESIRE HD TOUCH SCREEN DIGITIZER+LCD DISPLAY at Ebay.de and compare it with the last screens of the French guys)

Any idea if the French guys are missing some step in order to arrive to the LCD + Digitizer part of the phone?

Since this is the first time I am going to try to dissasembly a mobile phone, I am afraid in to buy something and then, not being able to repair it, which it would make me really dissapointed, since my phone is only a few weeks old.

Thanks guys

PD: If I am able to replace my crap broken LCD fixed by my own, I will write a nice tutorial ;-)

Removing back cover HTC Desire HD

Putting out a video on youtube tonight, have som ideas how to make a hotswap of battery on it also, my idea is to atach a small connector to the phone , solder it and glue it, i think there is some extra space to have it inside the phone, i just make an extra hole in the back cover, then i take a small battery ans solder a sutable connector to that attach it to phone, during that i change the original battery, then remove my extra battery.

I couldnt paste the utube link, get back later on that or try make a search, try search on my name here in the forum if you cant find it.

Thanks to Krzysiec and cwessberg. This helps a lot. I took my phone to vodafone aus to get fixed. The volume button was sticking out a lot on one side. they fixed it but now there's something blocking the camera. I'm not prepared to drive an hour for them to do it in a couple of seconds when Im sure it's a sticker or something they forgot to take off. They've already penetrated the void sticker so no problem for me!!
