Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

My htc titan was running perfectly then all the sudden it turned off and when i turn it back on it stays on for 3 second then goes off , i tried flashing a stock rom but it still has the same problem, any ideas please ??? thanks in advance](*,)

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Humm... Sorry to hear about that. I assume that you have tried it with it plugged in to eliminate that it is a battery issue?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

yea i tried to charge it was showing the orange light but it still woudnt turn on so i dnt really know whats wrong with it

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Humm... that is an unusual issue that you are having there. I fear that you are having hardware issues if you flashed back to stock and are still having the same problem. =[

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

yea ill just buy another one or try and open mine up and see if somethings wrong inside, but thanks for the help and i like your apache roms did u make any for the titan?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Awe... that is sweet of you to say. So sorry about your device. Yes, I do have a few Titan builds here. Just haven't released them to the public yet. =]

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

o arite can u let me know when you release them?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

it's possible that your battery has completely died, and a new (different) battery may work. otherwise it's possible that leaving the battery out for a few day/weeks could restore functionality. not that it's practical to not have a phone that long. ;)

I have a mogul that refuses to die. everytime it's had a problem I just went to another of my ppc's and it fixed it's self by the time I tried switching back to it.

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

yea thats what i thought i have 2 batteries nd still the same problem

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Sure!! Thank you for your interest! You are sweet!

Humm... that would be interesting. Bradlee, you don't have another battery there that you could try do you? Or a friend that also has a Titan so you could switch out the battery to test yours?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

=[=[ Bummer... that was a cool thought though. Do you have your Apache there still? You could try to let the Titan rest a few days as suggested... nothing to loose I suppose! =]=]

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

sorry i wish i still had it but i gave it to my cousin with the 29007 build, but i like that u make roms for the xv 6700 and 6800 ,not that much people still make any good job keep it up =D> ... nd i dnt know if it helps but it stays on if i keep it in boot loader mode

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Well, that was certainly nice of you to give your Apache to your cousin!! Thank you for the encouragement! That is interesting that it will stay on in bootloader mode... humm. I guess the only things left to try is flashing a known good rom to try that avenue again, or give the device a vacation for a few days and then try again.

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

umm, I shudder at making the suggestion, but you could try a task29

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Are you shuddering because of the dire situation? At this point... what do we have to loose? =]

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

no, the fact that it might do something a shipped rom wouldn't... (not sure it does, but still worth a shot)

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Agreed!! I guess we will have to wait and see!!

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

my bad iv been busy .. but you think i should try task 29? whats that?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Task 29 is a way of wiping your phone... are you still needing help with this? Did you have some success figuring out what is happening with your device?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

no progress with my phone yet ... but did task 29 come out for the titan?

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

I believe that you can use mtty with your Titan to perform the Task 29.

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

whats mtty

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

There is an excellent tutorial about it here. Way better than I could even dream of explaining! Once you get your device to be recognized my Mtty, at the command prompt you will type: Task 29

It will look like this:

USB>Task 29

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

sorry iv been real bussy but thanks it worked

Re: Hardware problem or bricked ?
 

Great!! Glad it is working for you there! Sorry to hear that you have been so busy... life gets crazy sometimes!
