Vibrate 5 times & solid green light?

---

I'm rooted running Leedroid and a very odd occurrence happened tonight. The volume level started decreasing by itself until it hit vibrate and then the phone just became unresponsive. I pulled the battery and now no matter what I do the phone won't power back on again. if I press power or hold volume down and power, it vibrates 5 times and shows a solid green light, still doesn't turn on. Even if I hook up the USB cable same thing, only exception is that it immediately starts vibrating 5 times without pressing any buttons. I also left it on the charger for a while and swapped out batteries and nothing changes. Has anyone experienced this same issue?. I'm thinking maybe it's a hardware error and possibly bricked.

UPDATE ... I took the SD card out and let it sit for about 30 mins and then it powered up fine. This is very odd indeed. I don't know what could have been the problem.

My wife had this happen to hers after she shut down the phone and it would not boot back up properly. Trying to boot would either give five vibrates and green led or three vibrates and a red led iirc depending on if I tried a normal boot or hboot. Was on irc with attn1 trying a number of different things, as I was able to get adb to recognize the phone when booting into recovery even through the screen was blank, with no success, and finally just had at&t send a replacement.

I did try swapping another sd card but didn't try booting with no card installed so I don't know if that would have helped in my case though I am certainly curious now after reading your post. Wish I could get the phone back to test now. lol

Any solution to this? My phone is stuck like this now.

I had one go this route too. I think its a corrupt boot partition (or some other critical partition in the built-in flash ROM). I could not get it to boot to anything usable at all. I ended up filing a warranty claim and got a new one. Hopefully your's is still covered, or you have insurance, otherwise, your best bet is send it back to HTC for repair. They are actually pretty reasonable from what I hear, but you'll be without a phone for awhile.

I did a rma straight from HTC since I didn't have the insurance from at&t on it. They said it was the motherboard that died and replaced it.

it sounds like something is going on with you data partition and sd card format. i recomend booting in to clockwork mod recovery and wiping all data and cache partitions as well as dalvik and then re-installing the ROM of your choice. id also recomend backing up your SD card and reformatting that as well, and if none of that works. i think its time to try a new rom

I have this issue!!!! The EXACT same thing happened to me! I can't resolve it .. if i turn it on like normal, it flashes orange and vibrates 3 times. If i hold vol + down and turn it on, solid green and vibrates 5 times/ black screen. Help!

Try and take out the SD card for 30 min

Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I tried that and it did not work. I tried both the sim and sd card. I still need help. This is the only post on the internet I found that reproduced the issue -- and if this EXACT issue I have is happening to someone else, there has to be a way to fix it.

If my volume+up button worked, I could boot it to recovery. I need a way to do this without the use of the volume+up.

How much did they charge you?

And if anyone fixes my issue, I will donate $50 if you find me a resolution that works for me.
