My HD2 doesn't turn on, doesn't go into boot loader, and cant soft reset. Can I officially say i bricked my HD2? And i cant even get it replaced because the camera is somehow cracked, and that supposedly "voids" the warranty.
And Im quite sure you need a JTAG to fix it, correct?
if it was a 51 radio brick, then yea, JTAG is it.
actually, it wasnt a 51. radio brick. I installed the Eugenia Rom through CustomUU while my phone was connected, it installed fine, and then it wouldn't turn on?
wont turn on at all? nothing? black screen? no charge light?
check the battery pins.
Nope, nothing at all. And by checking the battery pins, what should i be looking at?
just to see theyre all in a nice neat line, two one two, none bent up/down. it happens a lot.
other than a 51 radio (or 2.04.50 and 2.05.50 radios), battery pins or a discharged battery are the only reason i can think that would cause complete dead phone.
hm, I think I'm on to something here. When i plug my phone into my computer, it installs a driver. I forgot what its called, but that's all it installs. I cant access the phones files, but i thought i would let you know, maybe it could help me in the long run.
qualcomm? yea, the radio bricks show up as a qualcomm device.
try leaving the battery out for a while, (half hour) then plug in usb (wall charger, not pc) and then put the battery back in. this will stop the phone trying to run on like it normally does when you apply power when the battery is in (thus draining even the dregs of power, possibly affecting the charge circuits ability to start charging, , not very common, but not unheard of either), and with a bit of luck the charge light will appear and all will be well.
gotta go, 3am
good luck.
Thank you so much man,I'll try... ill get back to you about it tomorrow.
Erggg, nope, it didnt work =( Thanks for your time, and thank you for trying to help.
how old is it?
is it warm on the back bottom part of the phone?
Put it in the fridge for 15mins, then try to boot up.
Also see if you can try and put your battery in some one elses HD2 or charge your battery in their phone.
Its pretty hard to kill your HD2.
(i just dropped my HD2 in for a service/repair as my motherboard/cpu was overheating.- had to flash stock rom and spl back though)
I got it two weeks ago Its not warm, but ill try it in the fridge...... and I just did that a couple hours ago, we switched battery's and still no luck.
Refrigerator did not work either =/
can u do a hard reset with the volume up buttons and the power key? reformating the device to default?
Pull out ur battery, press and hold the soft reset button, hile holding down the soft reste button place ur battery back in. While still holding down the soft reset button pres and hold the volume down + the on/off swith and see if it will boot. U might need a friend to help u with holding down al the buttons. It worked for me...
Read ALL the earlier replies. Mine seems "cracked": battery won't charge in phone, via USB cables (2 cables, 2 batteries - one new & fully charged, two USB power souurces, including a car's 12v DC source).
Did all the above hard & soft resets, etc. Nothing works. Phoned HTC AUSTRALIA - MUST send it hundreds of miles (or kms) away to the original Telstra dealer, since HTC does not allow any other type of warranty claim in Australia.
On the phone's pins that contact the battery - they are flexible: up, down, in & out. Being "in-line" does not mean they work.
Not sure why the hardware crashed. Have not upgrade ROM or Android. Won't recharge the battery in-phone with SIM, micro-SD in nor out of the phone.
Wanting for a separate external battery charger (only a few $$) from eBay. Might take the phone to a dealer, and see if they can get it to recharge the battery via the USB cable.

My SPV simply does not turn on today. Last night it was working OK. I did not drop it or even cherge it!
It sounds like the battry is flat but when I plug it to my computer or direct to the power supply nothing happens and the device remain dead. I have tried hard rest, soft reset with combination of power and camera button. No Joy! Do you mind to instruct me on what on earth might have happened to my poor SPV? Waiting for someone's kind instruction. Cheers
What level was your battery at ,the charging circuit is notorious for being flaky.the charger outputs 5v+/- something or other,it may be possible to jolt the circuit back to life by using a 6v charger,a universal one would do.go to orange and ask to use another battery.if all else fails is it under warranty?
good luck
have a look at this link
http://michael-channon.spaces.live...._c=BlogPart&partqs=cat=Hermes+Charging+Issues
I am affraid the problem looks more complicated since I checked the battery and it is full! I have even tried to over charge battery but still no luck! I am really confused here because I have done nothing wrong with the phone whatsoever.
Can anybody think about some other possibilities?
Many Thanks.

Very curious - a couple of things:
1. You mention a soft reset (which is stylus in hole) but you mention camera button.
2. You mention hard reset (which is simultaneously press the two soft keys on dpad and stylus in hole) Try this again if you were using a different key combo. (camera key not used for this)
3. You may have tried but Iwould leave the battery out for a good period - even overnight and then re-try.
Mike
Cheers Mike, I left the battery out for almost 15 hrs. still nothing. I have even tried hard reset, 10 times

What are you pressing to get a soft reset, is it that little round hole in the bottom?
Hard reset is where you press the two - buttons above the green and red phone buttons whilst pressing reset.
So you've tried the resets and they don't work. When you plug it into the computer or charger, do you get any lights on, even breifly?
I notice you're on Orange UK. I would advise you call up Orange Customer Services (I know, a pain on a landline or non mobile ) and explain to them that the phone does not switch on, reset or anything and you think it's faulty. They should have one out to you in 24 hours under either the warranty or care plan.
If you have the insurance though they'll charge you £15 for the delivery costs
Good luck
Thanks for the instruction. I am affraid I am outside UK at the moment. That is why I am desperate to find a solution since I have got no phone available. Regarding your question about the light, I am affraid I get no lights whatsoever! even when I connect it to the main power supply.
sorry bud but it sounds like its kaput,you could try one last thing remove battery and place phone in zip loc bag/freezer bag and place in freezer for an hour or so ,did you try a new battery as they form an integral part of the charging circuit if its damaged,even with residual charge,it may prevent phone from powering
Hello guys.
I have a Jade (Touch 3g) which I have hard-spl'd and installed the SpaceJade WM6.5 rom like 2-3 months ago. Yesterday I have turned off the device and took out the battery to check the serial number. Device was working perfectly fine until I turned it off. Than I have noted the serial number and put the battery back in. Than I left my desk for like 45 minutes.
When I got back, I remembered that I did not turned it on. And when I tried to turn it back on, nothing happens! I have tried to charge it but even charging light is not lighting up!
I have tried the volume down + middle button + power button combination, even pressing the reset button, but no luck.
It is probably a hardware issue, which requires an authorized service station to look at it. But the problem is, I have hard-spl'd it and they are probably going to claim that it is out of warranty.
So my question is, which is really quite silly (but I still need to try), is there any way to load stock-spl before I send it to service station? I know it is not possible to install stock-spl without turning it on but maybe there is a chance
By the way, I did not made any chance on the phone or installed any programs in last one month.
may be..
Sometimes you simply have not correctly installed battery, so your phone can not give it power

no, I have installed the battery correctly, no problem. It is not possible to insert it in wrong direction anyway.
by the way, I have measured the battery with a multimeter, it reads 3,8 volts so battery is OK.
I was using my phone like a normal person texting, using the web, watching youtube, then my battery died so when I went to recharge the phone it just stays looping at the "Stick Together" screen, so is my phone bricked? Or could it be the battery? I dont have another battery to try it out! Please Help!!!!

Odds are that one of your battery connection pins are bent. Check them closely, there should be 5 of them, like this, all straight and even:
ll l ll
if its not a bent pin, it could simply be that it isn't able to start because the battery is so flat, but every time you plug in the cable it turns itself on, thus preventing it from starting to charge.
Take teh battery out, plug in the USB, and then put teh battery back in. It should start to charge (after a pause, sometimes) without trying to power on.

Yes, and make sure you're charging on a wall outlet rather than on a PC USB port, you'll get a much higher current that way.
If your phone still won't boot, with all the other suggestions, you will have to hard reset it. (I have had to do so twice already, after just having had the phone a couple days!)
Make suire it is completely off. Press and hold in both the Volume Up and Volune Down buttons. While holding them, press and release the red End button. (But keep holding down the two power buttons.)
Until--you get a message about the hard reset. Then you can release those two buttons, and follow directions on what to do next.
Any data, settings, etc. on the phone (not the storage card) is lost in a hard reset. Fortunately, both times I had recent backups to restore from, after the hard reset. (Moral--back up often with this phone.)
Thanks for your help guys!!! It was the battery connectors that were bent, everything is all good now!

No problem, it's one of the most common causes of that problem, but not the only one.

TMobile HTC HD2 will not power on (and i'm not phone savvy!) here's the story!!
I received the phone last night, bought it from a friend, and before purchasing it I put my sim in it, made a few calls, and it worked fine. Took the phone and parted ways.
When buying it he told me it is "running android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0. Exactly like the new sensation" which to me really means nothing because, like I said...this is not really my cup of tea.
So as I get home and am playing with the phone i realize it has a little lag, so I decide to do a factory restore on it...by pushing the +/- volume and power button. The phone successfully did the system restore, however my sim was not in it. But the phone turned on and seemed to work fine. I took the battery off, put the sim in, replaced the battery and put it on the charger because it was almost dead, and the phone will not turn on.
No lights, no sounds, no vibrating, no nothing.
Tried the hard and soft restore...(+/- volume and power, and the button on the back) and nothing...still...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!1
Might just be that the battery's totally dead. I've read of people taking a usb cable, cutting the end off of it, stripping the red and black wires, and connecting the red to the + of the battery and the black to the - of the battery and charging the battery from a computer for 10-15 mins to get enough of a charge to get it to boot up, since an HD2 with MAGLDR installed will not charge with the phone turned off.
Also you might want to check the battery pins on the phone to see if theyre bent and not making contact with the battery.
i can verify the usb cable trick works a treat. I've had battery die on me three times when i', out all day, and recovered it using the bare wire trick.
I didn't leave it anywhere near 15 minutes tho, two minutes is usually enough, assuming the rom boots, since charging starts half way thru booting.

that doesnt do a hard reset under android, only winmo.
you can also buy a battery charger off ebay, its as cheap as $2 these days and works a charm
Can someone please give me some advice on what to do. My phone is less than 3 months old and will not power on. It doesn't do anything, not even the vibration it usually does. I've tried plugging it into the charger but it doesn't even have the charging light on. It was working fine and just stopped. I pulled the battery out and put it back in but nothing it working. If If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful! Thanks!!!
what were you doing at the time
What were you doing at the time the phone stopped working? Did you try charging the battery on an external charger?
As the poster above suggested, what were you doing recently? We are looking for clues as to what happened? Did you yank on the power cord, drop the phone, et cetera?
Make sure that your battery isn't in backwards in the phone and try using a different cable to charge the phone. If it still doesn't charge, then borrow a friends external charger.. or even the (charged) battery out of their S5 for a few seconds to see if your phone will turn on. We're trying to differentiate between a dead battery and all other problems.
If you still have no luck, then remove the battery for ten seconds, then replace (the presumably charged) battery in your phone. Then press and hold the volume down key. Then also press and hold the home key, then the power key. After about five seconds, you should see the phone start to the "download screen". If so, post here for further guidance.
If you phone is non responsive to a borrowed battery and the download mode described above, then you should seek warranty service with your carrier. A three month old phone should still be under warranty.

I was talking on it and hung up. Then, I tried to use it about 5 mins later and it wouldnt turn back on. What do you mean by "external charger"?? Sry, I'm not very tech savy lol! The only charger I have is the one that came with my phone. Thank you for replying! ☺

My battery was charged in the 70% and I also used my husbands battery (we have the same phone) but that didnt work either. I'm going to try your other suggestion. Thanks!

Can you get into recovery ( volume up + menu +power button) or download mode (volume down + menu + power button)?
You may read this article http://www.technobezz.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-not-charging/, hope it helps.
I tried the volume down + home + power and it didn't work. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to make a trip to the store but it's looking like I'm going to have to.

It may well be an electrical hardware issue, it doesn`t look like a software problem to me. Good luck and i hope its fixed soon

It is looking like a hardware issue. If you are positive that the battery is charged.. i.e. if the battery turns your husband's phone on, then we ask what is different about your phone? Most software issues would be bypassed by starting a phone in download mode, which is why I asked you to try that.
Have a quick look at the battery "fingers" or pins on your phone. Those are the gold or silver coloured pins that line up with the gold or silver tabs on the end of your battery. Do they all appear to be the same? There isn't one that is bent out of alignment or shorter than the others where it might not be making contact with the battery?
And why not try one more test? See if the phone will start up in "recovery mode" this time.
Pull the battery out of the phone for ten seconds. Then replace it. Now in order.. press and hold the volume up button, then press and hold the home button as well. And last, press and hold the power button. Continue holding all three for ten seconds or until you see the phone screen turn on.
If that still doesn't work, my best guess is that you may have accidentally banged and damaged the power button. If it was me.. I'd try pressing really hard and wiggling the power button for a few seconds to see if you can cajole the phone to power on at least once and confirm the problem.
But that is about all that we can do. If you can't get the phone to power up with a known good battery.. then th store needs to check it with test equipment to narrow down what the hardware fault is.
