Broken Power Button

I dropped my XDA IIi and now the power button doesn't work. I've had a look inside and it seems the the bubble switch has fallen off. Is there anything that I can do or is the unit scrap. I bought the phone from ebay, it is three days old but I've removed the O2 lock (using the unlock tool from this site) and the void sticker has been broken.
PLEASE HELP

Does a soft reset turn it on? I suppose you could jumper 2 wires from the on/off and mount a microswitch. If you scap it let me know what you want for it please.

If I remember correctly, there are for identical switches for camera, power, reset and... I forgot. Look at the attached photo - isn't it? If so, drop me a note, I have some new switches in backpack. Or you can order P12280SCT-ND part from DigiKey.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies, with reguard to the soft reset it acts like a hard reset now, reinstalling the software from rom which is a real pain in the ass. I can't believe that dropping the phone (about 3 feet and landing on carpet) could cause half of a switch to fall off.

Sounds like the switch is in the shorted position if a soft reset is acting as hard reset. I think there is a software utility for soft reset which may work.

Do you know how can I put on bootloader mode with the power button destroyed?
I want to upgrade rom to other and I can't...
Thanks,
Roberto

You can do that by copying HimaClearJumpCode executable file which is included on ROM upgrading/flashing software from computer to the device Then running it on your XDA.
Let me know if it does the job.

thanks, I'm going to try.

Dead Hermes 100, Dopod 838, How did it happen??

I have this weird phone, I should say BRICK. My phone stopped working this morning after I cleaned the screen with a piece of cloth....the phone was in standby mode, when I did this.
Here is the story so far:
I was having problems with the hardware buttons, (messaging, internet explorer, the call and hang up buttons) the ones that everyone is been having problems with; so i decided to dismantling the unit following the steps shown on a Japanese website, basically by just looking at which screws to remove. By doing this all buttons functionality come back to normal so I had I fully working phone for about 3 days.
Now, all of a sudden the phone stopped working and refuses to go pass the "loading" message on the screen.
I decided to carefully dismantling the unit again, (I am now and expert in dismantlig dopos) but the problem persist.
I have also tried a hard-reset by pressing and holding the power button, the right/left soft keys and the reset buttong located in the lower part of the phone.....and still NOTHING.....
The phone was running Windows 6.1 (the stable version)....and now I am PHONE LESS...This is just incredible.....
Any help would be much appreciated....

If you are getting a message on screen saying "loading", taht does not go away, then your problem is not hardware but software.
The thing to try here is a full Hard Reset. (not a soft reset, have you tried this?)
Mike

Is this a Full Hard reset??
I have also tried a hard-reset by pressing and holding the power button, the right/left soft keys and the reset buttong located in the lower part of the phone.....and still NOTHING.....

Hard reset:
Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit', if you press R Your device will be set back to factory default settings.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets

I have done the hard reset, however the Soft keys do not work, hence I dont get a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit'...so it basically continues directly to CRC's ROM loading message...just as before...and it gets stuck there......
I tried the other option,....Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus, and this options does work, but there is no mesagge only a screen with 4 color bands, red, green, blue and white...and nothing else.

If you don't get the message to reset yor phone then you didn't hard reset.

Oh well....thats what i suspected....now the problem is since the soft keys dont work, then I cant do a hard reset....and the more i try the battery gets and will eventually run flat, (since the phone is not recharging either) in another words my dear dopod is slowly dying.....

Well the reason it's probably not booting up and the fact the keys don't work are likely the same problem. One of the flexcable connectors is most likely not seating in fully. I'd dismantle and take great care with all of them. Make certain of the central one - the one with the tape on it.
Mike

Exactly .....but i dont really know why these phones have this problem....as I said before I did clean up the contacts about a week ago and presto...everything started working fine again, but after 24 hours the buttons started playing up again....so it is impossible that things will change in such a short time......
anyway coming back to my current problem, I tried and tried to hard-reset the unit and this time I pulled the keyboard out and pressed hard on the softkeys and after a while it did work .....so I managed to hard reset the phone.....it only had 14% left in the batterry.....lucky me!!!!.....so I went home and started carefully adding all the extra bits needed, and guess what???? right in the last update the phone, again, did lock up........Luckily now I have a degree in dismantling dopos....anyone would like to hire me???? and I am an expert in hard-resetting dopos with actitude.......
I am happy now with my resurrected doppo but I am still a bit weiry about the soft keys not working......
FINALLY ......A big thanks to you guys for your help and comments.....

HD2 end/power button and volume up key do not work, what should i do ?

So I have this hd2 that I have to send by Monday to my brother. I bought this phone for 160 and I was told the end / power key does not work. There was also a pass lock on the phone. Now I could somewhat survive without the end button but I needed to hard reset or erase all memory from the phone to get rid of the password... but I can't do that because the stuck power button won't let me do that. I managed to get past the password via hspl, but I know also realized the the volume up button doesn't work either. Now when I said the end button doesn't work I meant that it wouldn't wake up when I press it, nor will it shut off... and when I put in the battery it turns on by itself, I don't even need to press anything. So I am guessing the problem is the flex cable is always pushed in... I cannot ship it to HTC because I flashed it and the warranty is gone, and every repair shop doesn't know what I am talking about.... please help me and tell me what to do this is very urgent.
I appreciate all the help,
Danny

i think the flex ribbon is damaged!
there are easy to source, try ebay
volume button, im not sure

Thank you for the help, but its to vague... I also heard its very tough to open the hd2

you can easily flash your stock spl via hspl2..just run it and select your stock spl.
stock rom and radio can also be flashed (you have to perform this before, because you cant flash via sd card).
take it to htc...wheres the problem?

hard reset for hd2 clone

how can I do a hard reset to htc hd2 chinese clone T8585?
the phone keeps boots itself and I can't get to windows (6.5) screen.
thanx!
mooki

if its the same as the hd2, then it's pressing volume up and down at the same time while resetting the device.

what do you mean restart?
a soft reset?
or power on the cellphone?
if you mean powering on the cell then it's not working
by holding the VOL - and VOL +
nothing happens that way and I guess it's because this is a clone
and not a real HTC phone. any ideas?

Didn't you got a Manual of your device??
Normally it's explain there!!!
Users here are owner of HTC HD2 (official one!!! No Clone) Things are not the same!!

don't you think I looked over the manual?
it's not explained there and I thought someone
here knows how to do it.

Just for the record, the HTC Touch HD2 T8585 is not a clone, that is the model number that the HD2 is sold under in Taiwan. The attached pic is a translated version of the HTC HD2 that Taiwan Mobile sells.

but how you hard reset it?

Q; How to do a Hard Reset?
Attention this will brings your installation beck to factory mode.
Reset via settings:

- Enter 1234.
- Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.
Reset via phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a Hard reset by using buttons on the phone.

- While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
- When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

Next time you have a question you could first check the HTC HD2 wiki or use the search function. In this case you could have found out that the T8585 is not a clone, and how to hard reset it. Also, when others do your work for you, it would be nice if you thanked them.

before you judge me of things I did not do you can ask me
and I will answer you:
did you look for this issue on the forum before you post your question?
answer: yes I did!
I don't know if it's a clone or not but it's not made by HTC.
I bought it from DHGATE
http://www.dhgate.com/free-shipped-...creen/p-ff8080812af0030e012b04ff36ea4980.html
and finally I want to thank each and every one who tried to help me
here but I still did not manage to hard reset it, so this is why I probably
save the thanking part to the end...
cheers m8!

If you still can not reset the device by following the procedures described above, then it would appear your unit is defective. In this case, I suggest you contact the seller, and demand a replacement.
Edit: After looking at their specs on the website, it does not appear to be a real HD2. Is your screen size 4.3 inches or 3.5 that the website shows? If it is 3.5 inches it is a fake, then you should demand your money back. Even the CPU specs are not right for the HTC Hd2 T8585. Unless the website has the wrong specs, this would really appear to be a case of fraud.

Like I mentioned before sir, almost all users are HTC HD2 users here!
You have a clone; it's not the same device, not the same way of functioning.
So I'm afraid it will not be easy to help you out.
Tray to take contact with the factory of your clone device.

hard reset for hd2 clone bootloader??
Big Hello dear forum members.
If someone can help regarding the Chinese HTC HD2 (leo t-8585 +). In fact, I bought the above mobile phone, and I have a problem with poor signal quality, poor call voice. Many people told me that I need to put a new version of the radio. For me it is 1.07.10061. Now I wonder how it can do, how to find the bootloader on my mobile, how to put HSPL and whether it will be a solution for better sound quality and signal networks.
Other features:
ROM Version: K102_CHS_S00_V0.0.6
ROM Date: 6/30/2010
Radio Version: 1.07.10061
Protocol Version: DV3.0
Model No.: NEXPERIA SY.SOL 5209
Platform: Pocket PC
IMEI: 355037010040775
Thank you in advance

Stupid Problem with P3452

Hi all
first post and i got an interesting problem with my phone which i qualify as stupid. It all started when when my virtually keyborad started becoming unresponsive and when i tried to do a factory reset, i could not enter the 1234 number to start it. i left the phone for a while and then i could not get into the setting even . But i could receive calls but i could not call since i could not access any numbers on the dial pad( by pressing on the numbers of coruse but from dial log screen i could)
Anyway long story short while fiddling with the phone , i thought the lock feature was on that is why some of the touch functions was not totally responsive but to my sadness, i activated the lock and now the phone is stuck on the front page and i cannot access anything since i must press unlock at the far corner of the down screen but stupidly, while pressing on the unlock, since it is unresponsive, i cannot unlock the phone to get to the normal menu and so on.The only thing working is the square pad which tells me to press cancel then unlock to free the phone for normal use
By the way the lock feature is the one that blocks the phone so that you do not accidentally press on the touch screen and activate a program and not the lock thing operators put to limit your phone
I want to know if anyone can help me unlock the screen so that i can reset the phone or alternatively any other method via usb to reset my phone to factory settings. Any special buttons on the phone i can do to do that?
I tired leaving battery out for 24 hours but that did not work to unfreeze the touch buttons
Was thinking to reload the windows mobile completely via the micro card (which i read here) but i am not sure it will work or i fear it might brick my phone
Any suggestions will be welcome please.... thanks

Use myMobiler to control device from Pc through usb
Good luck
Ps: you'll probably have to change digitiser afterwards

Well tried the mobiler but the thing is that it asks the phone to allow the program to conenct and i cannot press yes on the touch screen since it is frozen or something so i am stuck again.

Very strange, it doesn't ask anything on my device...
Why don't you hard reset: press green and red buttons and while pressing, poke the stylus shortly in the reset hole then release the 2 buttons. It will ask something that you probably won't see, just press the action button and wait for it to restart.

Don't flash another on just yet - it may well cause issues as it sounds like your digitizer is broken. Don't hard reset either
Does it pick up anything at all? Have you tried tapping all over the place in that region to try and get a response, sometimes just under the screen also works. Do you use a screen protector? If not, try it with one, if yes, try it without, it may be interferring with it, or it may help the touch be picked up by the phone (Stupid, I know, but this is something I found to work before with my elfs, and omnias)
When it is locked, is activesync picking the phone up? You may be able to put the remote.exe into the windows folder (for myMobilier) and do it that way.
A digitizer costs about £6-£10. But due to the age of this device, as sad as it is, I would suggest trying a new phone out if funds allow for it.

ok so far i tried the hard reset (red button and green and pressed the on off button but nothing. When i press on off button alone it switches off but not hard reset. I did not know i had a reset hole at the bottom of the phone.I did that with red and green button but nothing. Only when i poke the hole alone it does a hard reset i think but when i switches back on it is still unresponsive and locked screen
I tried poking under screen protector nothing. Also i think screen is still responsive because when i tap on it, the screen lights brighter
I tired putting remote exe file on the phone( active sync is working and i can read files on the phone) but i have two remote files..which one to use ? the one that ends with 40 one or 50 .Also where to put it specifically..which folder.I tried my windows mobile based device but nothing.Also tried program files and data application nothing.
Mobiler cannot connect since from pc alone because it asks my phone permission
and i cannot tap yes to accept program.
so any more suggestions please

Hi
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, here's the exact procedure, it should work since you have to use only hardware buttons:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
If Hard reset doesn't work then your device hardware is faulty.

If he hard resets he will liekly not be able to align the screen on initial setup tito12.
Avanisha. If you try to run one of the remote.exe it will say this is not a valid windows application, thats the one that needs to go into windows on your phone.

Hi captainstu72, i was under the impression that he messed up something in his system so a hard reset would hopefully solve the problem. In case he still can't align the screen after HR then he has to replace the digitiser. Mymobiler will not solve anything, pls read the 1st post: he wanted to do a factory reset. He just have to sync before HR.

thks tito 12..problem was solved with your help.J ust did not get the steps of hard reset right. Phone is working ok now and screen is ok as well as tap function. thank god i don't need a digitizer. thanks to captainstu72 for the help as well .You were right tito..seems i ran a program and then all hell broke on my phone. I wanted to factory reset but as you know the pad was locked.

Glad I could help, enjoy your device

Ahh okay, guess i mis read something! Sorry
Glad its all sorted though, I was just concerned he may end up in an annoying align screen loop
