Let Andriod die now have a paper wheight

ok here is the problem.
4 nights ago i forgot to plug in my hd2 while android was running and the battery died.
the next morning i went to turn it on and the screen no longer turns on but the phone does boot. the battery doesnt charge, status light doesnt either, end key doesnt work, when i answer calls no noise can be heard or made.
any hope?

Im guessing you cant run bootloader?
Maybe this is a warrenty jobby

If you know someone with another HD2, Try swapping the battery.

Hi Chris,
Please eleborate/clarify your OP, because I don't think anyone gets this... At least i don't! You say the screen doesn't turn on but the phone boots?! How do you figure that? Your device is actually on because you can receive/answer calls!?! :S
Sounds like your device has just BSOD (Black Screen of Death) which is discussed quite a lot here. Just press reset button or pull the battery (please tell me you have tried that before...).
If your device IS NOT powered on, please try this:
Does the device vibrate shortly when pressing the End-button? If so you should leave it connected to the charger for longer. If battery has drained too much it takes a while for the device to allow it to power itself up (prevention of overdrainage, which Lithium-batteries don't like very much).
Do you charge through USB, or with the supplied charger? I've had this before trying to charge it with a (different brand) microUSB charger. Turned out most chargers only give out 500mAh, whilst my normal charger (and car-charger) give out 1000mAh i believe. That might help.
You can order a cheap replacement battery from China (i got mine with dockingstation), which is already charged about 60% (for storage purposes).
BTW if your problem is fixed, please add the prefix [FIXED] or [SOLVED] to your topics title.

i have restarted many times.
i use the wall charger.
but why would the phone boot but not turn on the screen or have the mic work?

remove your sd card and the battery. you may have to hit the rest button on the back after you plug the battery back in as well, but as long as you have the sd card out it should come back on. try plugging the phone into a charger and then remove the battery as well sometimes it'll wake it up so to speak. it's just a matter of playing with it. mine did the exact same thing and i freaked out for a little bit.
now if after all this it doesn't work and you've played with it for a while then yeah, best of luck to you =\. but whatever you do in playing with the battery and the charger, keep the sd card out until you can boot into winmo.
EDIT: never mind, i thought the phone wasn't booting. i misunderstood, but i went back and reread the original post. try reflashing your rom if you're in winmo and experiencing those issues. or take the sd card out and reboot.

i would suggest making an backup, as your phone turns on you should be able to estaplish a remote-connection with some (3rd-party-)software and do a hardreset.
if this wont work i would recommend setting it back to factory default (revert hspl if you have one and install stock rom) and send it in for warranty.
seems to be some major problem...
All this steps should be possible without screen turning on (working touchscreen may be needed for backup, but flashing doent need screen input)
if drive-mode is default for your usb connection and holding you from flashing you can do a hardreset and afterwards active sync will be default again and you can establish an active sync connection and flash

check if any of the pins that contact the battery are bended or broken, try to avoid removing the battery when you have to reset your hd2 because the pins are fragile

similar thing happened to me just last night!
I tried the jmz dual boot last night and I was nearly out of battery. I didnt look at any instructions I just installed it and restarted the phone to check out the new toy. it finally got done loading I chose android right away and I was walking towards the bedroom. when I went to see if android had fully booted and plug in the phone I had nothing! It was off. I decided that the battery must have died so I tried to turn it on and all that happened was the tmobile flash screen came up for a second and then it went right off, I got so desperate that I was going to do a hard reset but that wouldnt even work! the boot loader screen would just shut right off. I was suggested to try another battery we had at the house and bang it fired right up I took a wiff of my other battery and I dont know what happened but I think I let the magic smoke out cuz it is fried!

hello friend...i have a problem similar to this. basically when my phone is in android which i use alot if it dies in android, when i reboot it it will turn on for about a second to see my splash screen then turn itself off (the battery is obviously flat). so i plug my charger in and it stays on now but doesnt indicate charging....i boot it into windows mobile and the batt just stays at 0% but its still working. however once i unplug it it will die.....its like the battery is not in the phone. luckily i have two batteries and a dock which charges batteries, so i replaced the battery and everything works fine. once the battery that died in android was fully charged i tried it again and it was fine.................im guesing the moral to this story is dont let your phone die in android mode

I do notice my HD2 runs hotter while in android than while it runs in Windows.
I am not sure if that's an issue to this, which is why I never mentioned about it being hotter. Although my HD2 is noticeable hotter, it never gets to a point that I think I should unplug the USB due to overheating concern...
Just a few inputs from passed experience
I use TMOUS Stock 2.13.531.1 WWE ROM
2.12.50.2_2 radio (not stock)

k going to tmobile today to see if they have any extra batteries i can try.
then ill update

i went to tmobile. and while i was there i noticed the screen was turning on but very dim without backlight (barely noticable). but the rep helping me did not notice and i let it stay that way because tmobile is sending me a new refurbished phone as long as i send the old one (and the rep was totally cool he uses xda also and said they wont check my software and if they do they wont ask for the phone back). he also let me get insurance in case this happens again, instead i will just say its lost. so i basically killed 2 birds with one stone

Bricked

Need some help hope i post this in the right place. i have gingerbread on my HTC HD2 and was converting back to windows to sell on ebay and i started it was almost done when i relised before i started i forgot to charge the battery and it ran out before it was done know the phone what turn on at all. i plug it in the wall charger nothing, plug it into the computer nothing tried everything nothing. do you think that the battery is that dead and it was in the proccess that the chargers dont work on it no more. would it work maybe if i had a charged battery to put in it. it mite come back on. any help would be great thanks.

Just keep it plugged in for 1-2 hours and then try booting in to try color screen bootloader and go from there.....

If you have MAGLDR installed then you can not charge the battery when the phone is off.
You should try to charge the battery using an external charger.
Edit: If you have a friend with HD2 and windows Mobile 6.5 then you could use the phone to charge you battery.

Wrong, you can charge it while it's off.

really? are you sure? because there are a lot of references to the magldr bug that wont allow charging (or even powering on without pulling the battery) if you try to charge with the phone turned off.

well i tried to charge for the last 2 hours nothing tried to remove battery nothing. Iam going to try and find a charged battery to see if the phone mite turn on or something. ill post later to let yall know what happen tho. thanks for the help.

Just give it a try man and see for yourself whether it charges or not....

what are you guys fighting about man, they just updated the magldr v1.3 and yeah we can now charge the phone while its off

Wrong x2.
1. No one is fighting.
2. With new magldr, phone turns itself on when plugged in. Charging when off is not possible. The battery requires management which is only implemented in software. It may hold a small charge if you have magldr installed, but it won't charge fully, or properly. Also, it's not likely he's got the new magldr if he's returning back to windows.
Lastly, for the OP, what method did you use to return to winmo? And which winmo rom did you use?

Find a way to charge your battery and everything it's going to be just fine.Your phone it is going to work.

Changing the battery should work.

I'm new here so basically with new 1.13 or later phone can't be charging if it's not turned on?

Read? Phone turns itself on if you connect a charger. Phone has NEVER charged while off with nand. This way at least you don't have to pull the battery to turn the phone on.

Just in case: If you on same situation that described on first post try this:
Q: If you completely run down the battery, would you be able to charge it with the phone again?
A: If your battery is dead, press and hold Vol Down and plug in USB cable / charger at same time. Phone will boot into bootloader and charge there just fine. Leave for 20 mins, pull battery, reboot and charge normally. If phone has just run down, plugging in the charger will usually turn it on.
Its found on one NAND thread and goals goes to g.lewarne
Actually i was on same situation and this helped on first try.

check the connection between battery and phone , the metal things i mean.

Perhaps, it is off the subject, but...
Poster #1: why do you want to get rid of this beautiful phone?
Just curious...

ok i bought another phone and i took out the charged battery from it and put it in the bricked HTC and it does nothing. now i know it was almost reverted back and i think the battery ran down but Iam not completely sure but maybe it could have been in the reverting software i used and maybe it just like lock up or something cause at that point you couldnt see the battery indicator. now i guess ill just have to sell on ebay for parts but it would be cool to try and un-brick it or try and figure it out.

[Q] uh..help pls

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...

You should have also been able to charge the phone in bootloader mode.

Help (again!) RLOD & can't seem to sort it : (

Hi all. Yet again my n4 has wet itself, big time.
Thanks to Simms I got it going the last time by shutting down phone, waiting for charging graphic, then all was good.
This time, I can't turn on the phone for any length of time enough to turn off properly.
It reboots, google logo comes up, then phone shuts down again.
If I try and boot into recovery, same thing happens. Robot image appears for recovery mode, then before I can do anything it shuts down again, briefly shows charge animation then goes back to flashing red dot.
I left it plugged into mains charger for 6 hours, no change.
Is it dead????
Right. By getting into recovery mode and really quickly managing to shutdown, it showed charging animation, then it disappeared and red dot has stopped.
Tried to turn on again and briefly showed battery icon and start red dot flashing again : (

leave it on the charger for a while, then try again. i mean leave it on the charger for an hour or two before you try again.

Thanks Simms. I left it on for 6 hours last night but still flashing red.
Now I can't manage to get to shut down in time before it powers off.
What worries me is that last time I had RLOD, I could still navigate around the phone while it was plugged into power..

your phone probably thinks it has less then 0% battery. keep trying to get it into the bootloader so that you can power it off. try like 3-4 times in a row, then let it sit plugged in for some time and try again. you can always try the disconnect the battery then reconnect the battery method to fix rlod.

Dare I say, it may be ok. This time it started, google logo came up. Waited for it to shut off but it continued to fully start.
Went to shutdown in power menu, phone switched off. Charging animation came on.
Sorted!!!!!
Simms thanks for your help bro.
I'll let you sleep, then ask somewhere Q's about RLOD later mate
Cheers

You tried to push volume down and power together for a longer time? (20 seconds) I think there is another thread with a similar problem already here.

I didnt post there because its named as battery drain....i had 68 percent battery..and yes i tried that method still wont work

I've had this happen a few times and it has the symptoms of the phone thinking the battery is flat even when it can be fully charged.
I've found that by trying to turn it on say 10 times then waiting a few minutes then repeating this process, eventually the mobile will turn on.

Did u do it while it was plugged in or like normally...plus even if i try turning on it dosent vibrate or show anything...aooo shud i just blankly do it?

I think I've started it with it plugged in and other times unplugged if I know it had a well charged battery, and managed eventually to get it to start. Sometimes it's taken a lot of attempts and sometimes it's started after a few.
Each time I press the power button the Wileyfox logo flashes up, I release the power button and then the display will go blank again. However sometimes the logo will remain displayed and then the phone will boot up. I haven't been able to understand what happens as it seems completely random with no pattern to the cause as far as I can tell.

atleast you had that...i dont have anything at all..i tried to open up the device as i heard there is a problem with the battery connector...but im failing to do that as well...I even tried it unplugged to turn it on...nothing is happening..
