I'm using donut with NAND. This morning my phone seemed to have drained the battery overnight, and was completely off. When I plug it in it in the charge light will not come on. The battery has enough juice to almost complete the boot, but always dies just as the lock screen comes up.
I've been trying to search for possible solutions. Some posts seem to say that it is normal for the phone not to charge while off or booting (thought I thought mine did), but I definitely have this now. One suggested going to the coke bootloader screen to charge. this does not work for me. I tied flashing back to WinMo, but my PC can't see the phone through usb. I also tried a hard reset. One suggestion said to have a Verizon store charge the battery. So I guess I'll try that next and report back.
Any help or confirmation that my phone is bricked and I should just give up, is appreciated!
try going into boot loader, you know power+camera+rest button, and let it charge in that for 5 min, then try and boot
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that and it didn't seem to be working (I didn't see a charge indication led come on). Maybe it is charging and it just does not indicate it? I'll give it a try again. I'm just worried that if I completely drain the battery then I'll have no chance to start it up and charge at all.
nope that killed it alright. guess it wasn't charging after all. Guess my only hope now if Verizon, or finding another working vogue to charge it.
And it still makes me wonder if the not charging problem will remain. If I could only flash back to Winmo. Is there a way to do that without a usb link to the PC?
Flash back windows via sd
copy the nbh file of windows rom to the /sdcard
rename it to VOGUEIMG.nbh
press camera button
connect usb
4 color screen appears
release camera button

connect the phone to power source all the night
flash back android.
The charge light will not come on when in bootloader mode, but I assure you the phone will charge. I plugged it in and put it in bootloader mode for about 20 minutes, then was able to continue.
I had the EXACT same problem a few months ago.

In boot loader mode it doesn't charge, you need to flash windows and then reflash android.

Again, I've been through this myself. The light may not come on, but the battery DOES charge when in bootloader mode. Please do not misinform. The OP does not have to re-flash - and, in fact, it may be impossible to re-flash without a healthier charge to the battery.
NuAngel
Sure? I test it in polaris and in kaiser and it doesn't charge.
Probably vogue has a different power connection inside.
Good to know

i have done it too
In my case the phone was not charging in boot loader mode. I let it sit plugged in like that and it completely killed the factory battery as well as my extended one.
I went to Verizon but they said they didn't have a vogue phone anymore and so couldn't charge my battery.
I ordered one of these, but had to wait awhile to get it from Hong Kong. I just got it today and was able to charge my battery, but even after booting into android my phone will not charge the battery its self. I've tried with the AC cord, and usb which I know is a good cord. Maybe something in my phone got fried? I'll try going back to windows next.
My solution (which is using the same phone NuAngel more then likely had an issue with, since he gave it to me) was to go out and get a new battery charger. The chargers connector itself had become worn out. I was able to pickup a fantastic generic Touch/Touch Pro/Touch Pro2 charger at Walmart for $15 or so, Now the phone chargers fine (although it still touchy when flashing via USB).
In short, the USB port is really getting worn out on this thing, but I can still do data at times, even though its not getting a charge (via USB).. its odd at times.
So maybe that's my problem, the usb port has worn out. I can't seem to get a charge or data.
So now I'm having trouble flashing windows from the sd card. I tried to follow the above post:

If you want to re-flash your nand back to wm, here is the instruction:
1. find your wm rom, it will be the RUU_Singed.nbh
2. copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to SD card as VOGUIMG.nbh, pull the battery, replace, press power and hold camera button and reset hole, this should start the flash process.
Note that the SD card must be formatted FAT32, or it will not be finding the VOGUIMG.nbh.
Even simpler:
- put the phone into boot loader mode (power + camera + reset pinhole, you should see the tricolor screen)
- plug into USB of computer
- Flash the windows mobile rom right from windows using whichever rom install file you want.

I downloaded NFSFAN's 6.5 in a rar file from here, opened it with 7zip, copied RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the sd card (FAT32), changed the name to VOGUEIMG.nbh .
I assume I can't use any of the instructions that involve the usb port, and I can't figure out if I am supposed to be doing something different with the button holds. I'm just holding power, reset, and camera at boot up to get to the boot loader screen right? After that screen pops up I get a quick flash to a white screen that says something like "Loading... File not found!" then back to the 4 color screen that says Serial.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
The nbh should be renamed to "VOGUIMG.nbh" not "VOGUEIMG.nbh"
However, I am not sure if it will actually help fix your problem.
Thanks for that correction. I was using VOGUEIMG.nbh, but sadly changing it to VOGUIMG.nbh did not seem to fix anything.
Now I found this thread which says to flash from sdcard
egzthunder1 said:
Your SD card has to be:
*Formatted for FAT32
*Be 2GB or less
*Not be SDHC
Simply do what you are doing (rename file and drop in the root of the SD card, put the device in bootloader, and the device takes care of the rest.... it should work.
Good luck!

My card is 2 GB so I assume it is not SDHC. The HC stands for High Capacity right? (not Host Controller which shows up in the properties for the card in windows)
I would plug the phone into a wall charger if you are going to use the SD card method. I haven't tired this method, but I would assume it would work best when not plugged in at all, and the battery is +50% charged.
If the phone doesn't have a valid image installed, you should automatically get the three screen on first startup, so there shouldn't be a need to use the key combo. You should only have to pull the battery if you plan on leaving the phone off.
Just to clarify, using the wall charger does not charge my phone, but I did buy an external battery charger, so I can make sure it is above 50%. Also I do have android installed as NAND so the bootloader is not automatically loaded on start up. I have to use the key combo. I'm just trying to flash back to Windows to see if it fixes the usb/charging problem. I've tried a couple of nhb files now in case one was corrupted, but the bootloader still does not see the files as valid. I'm using CoKe 2.31. I'm not sure what else to try.

so my battery died and now it wont charge, everytime i turn off the phone the charging light comes on for like 2 seconds then the phone boots right back up i have cwm on the phone but everytime i try to do anything it shuts off except for when i use mass storage, and usb flasher
Take out battery out of phone. Wait 2-5 mins. Plug phone into computer/power. Put battery in phone. Phone might or might not power up into android. You can keep trying this routine until phone powers up enough to boot into android.
Or if I remember correctly, the phone can charge in usb mass storage mode, iunno, never tried, but I suggest you try this last if all attempts are unsuccessful.
If nothing works you need a new battery.
Tsk tsk however, I'm sure you read that MAGLDR does not allow for the phone to charge while it's off no? You shouldn't have left your phone on till it died...

Ah okie. Well either way I hope you get it back on. No one likes to see a dead beauty.

Hi,I have a Android gingerbread 2.3,haspl v.3,MAGLDR113,it's second time my htc block and dont want to restart from the buton,i have remove the battery and it dosnt want to turn on ,there is no screen,the battery was charget,but the red light don't light when i plug the cabel,in my PC dont recognise usb,nothing and the phone,i try for 1 day to remove a battery,but no result,1st time when it happens it work,but for a week i can't use it,Sorry For my English,Some ideas what can i do before i took it back in the store
sounds like it could be a simple flat battery. when magldr is installed you cannot charge the phone unless android is running, so when it is off it does not charge.
if you can try another battery, or your battery in a winmo hd2, that will tell you if its teh battery.
If you have a spare usb cable (any type, doesnt have to be a hd2 micro usb cable) cut end off, bare red and black, hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for about a minute, which should give it enough power to charge.
Also check very carefully that you dont have a bent battery pin from all teh battery in/out. they bend easily.
i hava a Bat charger and charge the bat all night,and the morning it show me that bat is charget,put it on the phone,but nothing ... cant turn on
Maybe battery is dead. Do you own a volt meter an can check the voltage provided by the battery? It shoud show up about 4 volt.

Is there a program that can connect to the phone and erase everything
To wipe the phone install the HD2 toolkit, you can download it here.
It includes every tool needed for maintaining your HD2.
Be sure to install the drivers!
Start the program and press the Task29 button, follow the instructions provided. When it's finished your HD2 will be fully wiped, so you would need to reinstall everything.
Do so by doing a MAGLDR repartition. After that choose MAGLDR update recovery to flash the Clockworkmod recovery.
Then go into the Clockworkmod recovery and flash your rom.
Now your HD2 should be fully wiped
BUT! If your PC doesn't even recognize your HD2, and you can't even get to the bootloader screen by pressing and holding both volume down and the "end call" button. Then it's probably a hardware failure.

Magldr repartition flashes cwm so no need for the update recovery step. That's for, well the clue is in the name,,, updating the cwm version on an already partitioned instal.

I've seen this and similar a few times, when left on charge overnight, and upon waking the phone is totally gone. I've woken up to a fully hard reset phone myself, once, not dead but something weird happened.
Electrical surge, perhaps? Overheated circuits? Who knows.

I'll trying to charge battery but i don't have a table battery chager.
Could you please repeat me what you did, since I didn't get the first part, what did you put on your router (what kind of router please)?
I've tried using my phone with another HD2 phone's battery which is working (and which also started with my own battery?!) but my own phone wouldn't start at all with the other battery...
The battery wasn't fully charged, but did it have to be, if so how long should I charge the battery with the cut USB cable for it to be charged enough please?!
TIA
P.S. I've tried a voltmeter on my battery and it said 4.14V (should it be 4V exactly?) and should I even try the cut USB charge trick again (since I've tried another phone's working battery)?

Ok if I understand you correctly you have tried your battery in a working HD2 and it worked. Then you tried the battery from the working HD2 in your device but your device still did not boot up. If this is correct I do not feel your battery is the problem, but still check the battery pins on your device to make sure none of them are not slightly bent and not making contact properly.
Also if you can provide more info on what you may have done to cause this or what happened when your device reached the state it is currently in. This info can help others and me help you better.
I have a similar problem.
The phone won't start, it gets to the white htc screen sometimes but quits within a fraction of a second.
This has been so since the first Android boot hung (I suspect I have not followed the steps accurately enough...). I have charged, decharged and recharged the battery using the suggested USB-cable technique, but this was of no aid so far, so it's not the battery. Pins and all's fine.
It's someone else's phone, too, so it would be rather unfortunate if I bricked it.
Are there any other common reasons for this behavior? Most tutorials rely on a PC connection, but as it does not recognize such a thing, that's a bit of a problem.
Finally the same problem here.
Battery status was about 70% and running smoothly (WinMO Custom Rom) since installed.Unlocked the Screen and tried to start programs.
The Icons were lightened up but nothing happened.Tried to softrestart...Nothing happened.
Removed and reinserted the Battery.
=> Not turning on.
-another fully charged Battery => nothing
-charging on Charger => nothing not even charging light
-plugged into (running) pc => nothing not even charging light
-5 hours in the fridge => nothing
-charging over night => nothing
Any hints ?
Thx for the goot work around here and greets from Germany !

PS If anyone got one to offer => contact me. Dont like those situations

Hi,
So i Had this Htc HD2 . I got it as a gift from USA. I've used it like 2/3 month. I installed MIUI rom on this device. And then i hot another phone and didn't used that phone anymore. But today i found this phone and i tried to turn it on. Then I saw that the phone isnt turning on. It just stays black and just vibrates. I dont know what is wrong with this. I live in Bangladesh. We dont have any HTC customer service stores here. So i need help with this. If anyone can Help please let me know. and by the way its TMOUS HD2.
Check battery pins are contacting correctly.
Check battery voltage - lower than 3.2V try charging the battery externally & not in the HD2, if you do not have an external charger you can use a USB cable & cut mini/micro usb plug off then touch the red+ & black- wires to + - battery terminals for about 1 minute or bit longer if battery completely flat then put it back in HD2 & see if can boot.

Are you sure it's not just out of battery? If it had NAND Android installed on it via MAGLDR and you didn't bother turning it off then it could have just run out of charge. Since you can't charge the phone when it's off in MAGLDR, you'll have to cut open a USB cable which hopefully @samsamuel will come along and tell you about since I always forget what has to be connected where.
If you know it isn't the battery, then can you boot into the bootloader (hold vol down + power)? If you can get to that then you can try flashing a WinMo stock ROM to confirm it isn't some sort of hardware issue.

Like the topic says, RSD Lite isn't detecting my Mini. It is detected and drivers installed in Windows 8.1. Difficult to get phone in fastboot mode, but eventually gets there. Any ideas?

The best answer for low battery flashing is using a Moto Factory cable...
What difference would that make, the battery would still be drained? It's making it almost impossible to even get into fastboot mode.

Will it boot to recovery? Also do you have moto device manager installed? If not, install it.
Also try a different usb port
When you plug it into power what does it do?

If I don't attempt to boot to recovery but maybe once a day, it will; one time. Device Manager is installed and I've tried all three available USB ports. When I plug it in, nothing happens. The screen stays dark. The only guaranteed way to get the phone up is to hold power and volume up. When these issues first appeared, it would charge while powered off.. sometimes. I baby the phone, definite A-stock. No idea what could have caused it. Rebooted one day and it never progressed further than the Motorola vibration.
Do you have xposed installed? Do you have a custom recovery?
IF so, try flashing something called xposeddisabler.zip from your SD card, then try to boot normally and see if that gets you past the M logo.
Xposed is installed, but I have no custom recovery. I uninstalled Safestrap awhile back to prepare for SunShine and such. That's the most bummer thing about all of this, $25 burning a hole in my pocket to unlock my phone -- something I've waited for since buying my Mini at launch.
I guess the biggest problem I'm facing now is that the device refuses to charge. I can no longer get into recovery. It will however bootup with the power button and using the power+volup. I'm out of ideas. I've found others with this issue, but no one seems to have an answer. I'd really appreciate any helpful feedback.

"factory" cable is not the cable that comes with the phone it is a special cable that allows the phone to charge in situations such as yours where the phone will not boot to any stage of the OS.

I dont think the factory cable charges the phone, I believe it bypasses the battery allowing for the phone to powerup straight from the wall/usb power, or flashing when the battery is too low.
there are a couple tutorials on youtube on how to make one using a spare micro usb you have laying around

you're probably right, but either way it gets you by the "low battery" warnings
Finally got my factory cable. How can I get the phone into fastboot mode with it? It instantly turns on and hangs at the same Moto logo trying to boot into Android whenever connected to the PC.
Got it into fastboot mode once, with the factory cable and went into BP Tools. Was able to charge the phone to 19%, but now I can't get back into fastboot.
Nothing happens when plugging USB into wall or PC with factory cable or normal now either >:|
EDIT: let the phone die, and all is well. Booted into fast boot after letting charge 100% and now I'm just looking for restoration files as sbf is down.

Hello.
I've flashed my s5 with popwizh and everything went well. But after a full battery discharge the phone won't turn back on.
Battery is good and charger.
volUp+home+power doesn't do anything
volDown+home+power doesn't start download recovery
tried to boot from sdcard with a debrick img but no luck.
What more can I do? I don't want a paperweight please.
Charge it?
Battery is good and charged
If you can't get it to even turn on or enter download mode, there's not a lot you can do
Try removing everything like SIM and SDCard, remove the battery too and only connect the charger, see if you can get any signs of life at all
If not, it sounds like a hardware problem
Its to much of a coincidence to be a hardware problem, I refuse to give up just yet.
So far all the posts that resemble to my situation go on an on about flashing a debrick.img to the sdcard and boot from there. Dead boots and stuff.
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/g900f-debrick-img-lollipop-t3240626 but without success
You said it won't even power on ?
How you going to flash anything without power?
I'm not saying 100% this is the problem, but most devices die when they are powered on, as that is when they are put under the highest stress
For example, I put away my treadmill in the corner of the room about 6 months ago, working - came to use it a few weeks ago, dead
Looks like pixies killed it, but actually it was when it was powered up again, just looks like it died when it was off
--
Is the phones power button working?
If you at least had a sign of life, we could go from there, but without any power at all, I have no clue
Battery connection contacts not bent or snapped?
From what I understand the phone won't turn on because the boot partition is gone, so if I manage to boot from the sd card to the download recovery, I can then use odin to flash it back to stock android.
Am i wrong?
Are you even getting the logo on screen when you turn it on?
Does the screen even light up?
You said there is no power at all, that's not a boot partition problem
Man if it's not turning on and there's no reaction when you press the power button then there's two things I can suggest : the power button is not working; or when the battery went completely dead its safety system thing could have turned on, which means you have to put it to charge as long as it takes for it to turn on again. Plus if your phone was exposed to water which I doubt its power controller could have gotten burnt
Have you plugged it into a pc? See if it registers with that and if it dies but still doesn't boot just try to leave it on the charger for a few hours even if it's fully charged. Then battery out for 10 secs wait... wait... wait... and turn it on plugged into the wall. Or at least try. If that still won't work samsung repair Centre for you
Still no life, I've tried everything said so far. My only hope is a debrick.img to boot from the sd card, which I don't have.

Try to plug the phone to adb and see if it recognize it , if it's not i don't know maybe try another battery to see if its battery related or other hardware composant
