Power Off Warning

i installed Miri WM 6.5 21859 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 9. 9/23/09 ever since i installed this rom i get Powering Off Warnning box poping up ever 10 seconds.. so i tried installing a different rom same problem.. so now i re-flash the Stock rom and same problem. have anyone ever had this issue before? the phone also doesnt go into Stand by when i hit the power button the screen will turn off then come right back on with the Powering off Box popping up.
can anyone help please

It sounds to me like your button is stuck down. Try and get it back to stock ROM and SPL if possible and send it off as a warranty repair.

Haven't seen or heard this problem before, so I'm intrigued though it sounds like Budadank is on the correct path. Check your power on/off button

I have the same problem, the power button always stuck down, and if I turn my phone off it turns right back on again, and my battery drain is massive. All caused by someone else's water damage I think :-(
There's another thread where someone gives a walkthrough about how to stick a card under the power button to release it, but sadly it does'nt work for me.
PS Does anyone know how much HTC charge to repair HDs?

Don't you have warranty or insurance?

hmm guess i will open up my case and check out the power button. becacuse when i take the battery and out soon as i put it back in the phone powers on without me pressing the Power Button..... so my guess its the power Button

I'm sure I have the warrenty still (only four months old) - but it's water damage which I don't think is covered.
I had Orange insurance, but got out of my contract with the T+Cs stuff in August, so it was cancelled then

have you tried Miri's REV_90_FixPower.cab ??

Softrest Cap Button?

Is it possiable I can have softrest (cap) shortcut button ( instead of Powering off / press softrest button under cover / remove battery) on my t-mobile htc hd2 without installing non-official rom?

yes you have to instal one of this cab file.
search for xdaShutdown or Touch X reset

You can also install HButton (along with the xdaShutdown cab mentioned here), so you can map this app to a long press of the power button.
Good luck!

Yep, this is what i was looking for...thanks lot

I dont understand this need for "reboot software" whats so hard about holding the power off button for a few seconds then hitting the power off button that appears on screen, then pressing the power button again once the phone is off?
If your phone is so fubar that you have to resort to pulling off the battery cover and poking the reset button, then a piece of software to reboot it likely wont be of any use.
I do remember trying out such software long ago on my MDA, and it always seemed the software just instantly rebooted, rather than doing a graceful shutdown. What are the chances of file system corruption by repeatedly doing instant reboots rather than graceful shutdowns? especially dealing with the larger file storage spaces we have now

d0ug,
I was thinking the same exact thing. Maybe out of some freak of nature, I got the only perfect T-mobile USA HD2 but, I have never had to do any type of forced hard reset or forced soft reset. I rarely shut it off, mostly running 24/7
Thank you,
Monnie

Ive not had any issues with mine either, other than the well documented SMS bug that starts slowing the phone down around 200sms messages or so.
Hopefully there will be a fix from HTC for that, in the meantime i just use PIMBackup weekly to backup all my SMS messages, and have created a "blank" message backup file that i use to restore over the message DB wiping out all the SMS.
For normal usage the phone has been great, ive only had to reset a few times after screwing around with some more advanced settings, nothing that would have been a problem for sometime just normally using the phone.
I've only poked my reset button under the battery cover once, mainly to see that it worked lol, basically the day i got the phone, going over all the functions of the phone to make sure everything worked.

[solved] bootloader dont load

wanted to install wp7 with a clean start...so tried to task29 (doloop) with 100% success and then my tmo hd2 wont go into bootscreen what ever i do...its stuck for ever in "stick together"...i know there is no os to load...but i dont understand y cant my hd2 go intobootloader
so far i tried
with holding volume down and power key with a single tap
with holding volume down and holding power key
with holding volume down, volume up and power key with a single tap
with holding volume down and reset button
with/without sim
with/without SD
with/without plug in wall charger
with/without plug to pc via usb cable
observations...when i pull out the battery and put it back in and then connect to computer when the phone is still off....the charging indicator LED glows in orange.
when in this mode if i switch the phone on with power/end key....it doent start...i have to pull the usb out, the orange LED still glows...and if i tap the power/end key nothing happenes...i have to pullout the battery to get it to start and eventually get stuck in "stick together"..
would really appriciate if any1 can help me get my hd2 into bootloader screen...

resolved the problem myself.....hd2 is working like a charm....thanks for all your support.

How did you fix it? For other users in this position.

SOLVED {bootloader dont loadArrow}
Here is what I did..
B4 that some background -
I used to heavily try different roms/mods and always played with android sd and nand versions…win 6.5X in multiple cooked version….
So my tmo-hd2 has been formatted/hard reseted/flashed many many times
By virtue of this….my screen died….slowly my screen touch responsiveness malfunctioned and eventually died… all hardware keys were working perfectly by the touch was dead….
During the process of screen malfunction to completely dead….made few observations to not things which might help fellow Hd2 owners…one thing is power/end key seems to be the culprit (this is my observation/belief).
Since I don’t live in US spend 100$ in changing the screen since then everything is working well…I still rig my hd2 like I always do…
Well when the wp7 was released, wanted to give a try…did this…hspl pkg 3 spl 2.08 hspl > then task 29 > and my hd2 didn’t get into bootloader at all…..i was doomed as there hd2 (after task29) didn’t hv os..
Searched for the solution everywhere and eventually nothing worked for me…I was about to give up…suddenly sometime struck my mind…wat if the power/end key is the problem….then things were positive..
I opened up my hd2 (unscrew and removed the back panel) and disconnected the connector flex rigid board (A board) of the hardware keypad from the mainboard….and pushed the battery in and pressed reset (sometime u need to plugin the usb cable to wall charged/pc to wake up the phone) and held volume down key and hopped for some miracle.
Viola saw the tricolor screen after eternity – since the back panel (not backcover) was open I help the battery to the pins and didn’t even move my fingers …run the stock rom installation and held the battery tight in place and waited to get the rom completed…the moment its 100% relaxed my fingers and reconnected the flexboard connector, re-assembled my phone and everything was back to normal…
ONE THING I LEARND FROM THIS…..HD2 IS A ROCKING PHONE AND U CAN RESURRECT IT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO IT (if at all some1 screws it with wrong radio…its officially bricked, but still it can be revived using RIFF JTAG method and rewrite boot data).
One final request pls DON’T GIVEUP ON YOUR DEVISE
Now I have wp7 running successfully and waiting for my activation code for live services

also hit thanks if u think its worth it

May I link to or rewrite and credit you with this in my guide?

interesting, two confirmations in this thread, and there's another thread where 2/3 people successfully used this method.
That whole lower right area is the Achilles Heel of this phone, keypad, screen connector and most pressed key all right in one little place.
Bring me the chief designers head on a plate!

Yes. The only downfall of the hd2. I wish it had the soft screen keys at the bottom.

yup...and the interesting thing is, i befriended an HTC engineer and got hold of multiple 'a-boards' at that time to test this out.the flex-board that reacts when we push the button.
there were multiple models/molds for HD2...may be different production lines..everything did the same job including the one which was shipped with the device..'a-board' wasnt the culprit here..the very design of having power + end call + device unlock in the same key/button is the issue.

Check SPL problems

Awesome guides! No doubt about that. I'm not a complete noob but I am new to the HD2 and I feel stupid bc I can't get past the first step I am frustrated cuz I have been looking all over for ways to check SPL my trio screen that everyone talks about is not coming up. Idk what to do. I've done the volume down with power button and also tried pressing the reset button in the back just to see if it works. I boot into Windows to make sure the volume down works and it does.
I have the tmobile version Leo 1024. Any suggestions.

Pull battery, press volume down and hold, push power and hold both. Tri color screen should be there.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

Like everyone says. Volume down + end key.
Hold the volume down until the tri-color screen shows up.
I know you've said that.. just make sure you continue to hold volume down
Maybe that will help.

thank you guys but idk why it is not working but i finally managed to get it to bootloader by trying to install hspl3 it automatically sent me to the bootloader screen. After it said "we hacked it" i rebooted and tried to see if it would work with the typical hardware button
voldwn + power button and then let go and it still does not work.? :/
ps . i let go of power button but kept holding the voldwn and still did not work.

You are completely turning off your phone and then doing this to power it up right?
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

Yes and so I started following your guide to install clk since I know that I at least now have hspl3 installed and in the part where you task29 I followed instructions successfully flashed. Everything is going well until you say to reboot into boot loader mode by removing battery and voldwn + power. I try it hoping it would finally work and it doesn't.
Make story short my phone is stuck at the "stick together" screen. I tried getting into boot loader mode by running the hspl install program but bc is stuck on the screen comp is not able to recognize phone. Am I bricked?
Btw I pm you Kylew

Nice, real slick move,, you can't get into bootloader, yet you still decide to go ahead and wipe the OS, so now you have a non booting phone and no access to bootloader.
That's a handsome if totally useless lump of glass and plastic you have there!
JTAG, or sell for spares. (Well, after trying everything you can think of, but all I can think of is freezer trick, but its a loooooong shot. )

what is jtag and whats the freezer trick? is there any other way to get into bootloader mode maybe with sd?
Im willing to open the phone and remove or unplug a strip to completely erase any stored data and hope that it boots into bootloader?

SOLVED!! hope this helps someone else
i got it to work. My god there are soo many ppl with this phone soo many threads and post not sure if thats a good or bad thing lol anyways out of all the searching I found this guy to have had the same as me and he solved it. It was impossible for me to ever i mean EVER boot in to the trio color screen or bootloader what ever its called using the hardware buttons even tho the hardware buttons do work. I was able to get into bootloader when comp and phone sync and I used the hspl3 program to boot the phone when it was fully on the win mo stock.
Anyways I just followed this :

I also used these pages for reference on parts:

http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
ps. no need to take the whole phone apart. I believe you are disconecting the AP FPC from main board which is connected to your hardware buttons if I am correct.
Edit: I want to give credit to kylew1212 for walking me through the rest of the installation of my android.

Interesting, good job.

i have a lot of sympathy for his viewson peace

[Q] Lock scren button

HI I am new to android and HTC and last night i have put Android NAND using MGLDR. was working fine but for some reason when i want to lock the screen and i press the power button it shows more option menu instead to lock the screen. Before when i press once the pwer button it locks but if i hold the button it shows more options menu. Now i have to press twice the button to lock screen and when i wqant to unlock it will do the same it will show up the menu. I tryed to reinstal it again from my SD card using ClockWOrk, MGLDR, puting him back to factory setting but still soemtimes it does that. Now waht i want to do is to do task29 and to again everything. I have found on this site an exe by doloop for task29 but i get error cant connect to phone check USB connection. Run as admin on my win7 64bit and disabled driver signature but stillsame error. How to fix the unction of this button?
Android isntaled:
TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR.zip

I'm pretty sure that's an issue with your END button, rather than with Android.
Has your screen been unresponsive sometimes?

Are you sure? I'm 99% sure it isn't anything to do with the ROM, it sounds like your end key is getting stuck when you press it. I used TyphooN for ages (in fact, if I'm not mistaken up to that very version) and it never failed me, so I don't see how it wouldn't work for you. Try flashing back to WinMo and seeing if the same applies there.

I believe you're having the famous issue of HD2 with the 'end' button. Try another rom first to be sure, if that's the case, start using "Button Savior" or similar app...
