Hey XDA, my phone's digitizer broke, so i decided to bring it to a local repair shop to get it fixed. The phone worked completely as I was able to run hyperdroid NAND and the touchscreen also worked perfectly as well. After getting the digitizer replaced from this guy, my phone would not turn on. The only way to turn on the phone would to plug in the USB. Even though it was plugged into the USB and powered on, it would run MAGLDR and go to the NAND boot where it would say 123456 gogogo. From there it just stops and stays there. Also when i boot into the tri-colored bootloader, it does not recognize that my USB is plugged in, and also doesnt say cotulla blah blah blah. Still shows that it is running hardspl though. What could be the problem?
Much help would be appreciated thanks!
P.S. I would also like to say that when booting into MAGLDR, holding the power button does not bring me to the menu that shows boot SD or the stuff like tetris.
happened to me before. Check the battery pins maybe one of them is bent.
really? hmm. well it seems like the battery pins are fine! it has to be a hardware problem somewhere right? cause it was working before he went to work on it!
actually... do your pins go down pretty easily? i have to press kind of hard on mine for them to go down. but that doesnt explain the bootloader not recognizing the USB though... or does it??
yea they should be hard to push down... cant tell you if its hardware or not but if i had to guess im guessing one of the ribbons hasnt been reconnected right.
I can assure you it is hardware. I was running hyperdroid right before he fixed it! we turned it off and everything then he started working on it. a ribbon not connected right could be the case! ill see what i can do. maybe ill bring it back to him
in bootloader when i pull out my usb. it says serial where it should say USB
If this helps anyone, I just resolved this myself by pushing down a pin that was sticking up, then inserting the battery DOWNWARDS so the pins get pressed back down and it should allow your HD2 to reboot.

hi all : i have one set of HTC MEGA TOUCH 2 that it hang on 3 color boot menu.
i can't do hardspl or flash any flash file on to it , plz help me what should i do ?
1) When the phone is off, press and hold the button VOLUME DOWN (left side of the phone).
2) While holding the volume button, you press short the ON / OFF button and let it go.
3) If you see a warning message on the display, release the VOLUME-button
4) Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset or press any other key to cancel the reset.
Good luck....
I have a HTC Touch2 that is tuck in the Bootloader.
I have removed the battery and attempted the hard reset, as soon as it comes on it goes straight to the bootloader screen.
If the phone is connected to the PC, it says USB in the white band.
If not is says serial.
No SD card fitted, no SIM card fitted.
Any ideas?
Flash with a stock ROM in USB-mode should work for you
I thought you could only flash via USB if the device has been Hard-SPL'd? and you need to have an activesync connection?

Flashing with a stock ROM works without Hard-SPL, and as far as I know you can flash it when it says 'USB' in the bootloader mode. Correct me if Im wrong or else try...
To be honest, I fixed the phone without doing any of that. There seemed to be a problem with the USB port on the phone. I disconnected the battery and put some alcohol into the port (IPA!! not beer - lol) left it for a few seconds and then cleaned it out with compressed air. When I put the battery back in, it booted up fine.
wow... nice
why the usb-port?
strange...
hey guys, I see I have a problem from the damaged tape volume, so how can I make HR and enter bootloader
solved!

This man is my hero. I *very* carefully extracted a little bit of lint that was stuck right at the back of my HTC USB port in my touch2, with a drawing pin (tack for the americans).
While I would not reccomend using a pin, as it may damage the port, it fixed my phone right up, it now no longer gets stuck on the bootloader (tri-colour screen), and it also fixed a problem in which I got a reccurring error telling me to remove the USB headset as it doesn't work (or something to that effect) while nothing was actually plugged into it.
Thanks again, hogman!
edit: I can't figure out how to give you thanks rating or whatever it is, so this will have to do. Yes, I'm a noob!
Before anyone says it i have been searching all day.
I recently had MAGDLR 1.13 on my HD2 and it was working fine. and a friend suggested i give cLK a try. and i got to the fastboot and everything seemed fine. when i unplugged the phone the screen went off. and now it seems the phone wont work unless plugged in. i cant boot into ANY OS. and im very much so afraid my phone may be done for... some one PLEASE HELP!!!!'
UPDATE: I fixed it. it was a pin misalignment issue.

If it turns on while plugged in then its obviously most likely your battery that is fooked.
Try a different battery or leave it charging for hour or 2.
agreed.

you guys are 100% Awesome you really think leaving it on the charger for a while will help? More info btw It can flash anything as long as its plugged in. ive changed it back to MAGDLR to the stock Tmobile US Rom. and now it just boots then as soon as the OS gets ready to show up then it just reboots again... you think its the same issue?
sounds more like battery pins / charging hardware fault to me, and since it is now in a bootloop, which is common in battery pin problems.
Check the pins carefully.
EDIT - oh just seen your update in post 1, lol
replacing the usb port, i broke the ap fpc ribbon. used for the hardkeys.
im just wondering, i can get my phone to turn on, and it comes to wph not installed. i can then navigate the magdlr menu, up and down till my hearts content but no way of clicked anything... :/
is there anyway i can change the boot order without my hardkeys ?
or is there anyway i can get it to boot further than magldr without hardkeys??
infuriating to now see it sat there working but not being able to do a darn thing !
can anyone advise me what i should do next? or what i can do.
im contemplating buying spares/repairs hd2, which i can replace the hardkeys / AP FPC ribbon cable.
theres no way i can temporarily repair the ap fpc cable whilst i change boot order to nand is there? :/
no wph
android sd - yes
android nand - yes
volume buttons do work
Nope there's nothing you can do other than to replace them as magldr is programmed that way. Can I ask how you even turn it on without the hardware keys?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
with great difficulty.
just with uh holding the battery in place... disconnect charger, connect charger, if no vibration, disconnect, reconnect... after a few times it will boot.
and okay, so if i buy the new one and replace it all should be good?
ah im not the best, i managed to take it apart to but couldnt get to where you can get the buttons out im pretty heavy handed, didnt trust myself (nor need to at that stage).. but couldnt get the screen off. :/ tips? advice? ordering one now
Hmmm
you should just buy a new HD2
I did the exact same thing. Just bought the replacement ribon cable, and double sided tape. You have to heat up the phone to remove the screen. So u need a heat gun or a blow dryer.
Yesterday i started off as newbe to install android with clk. The first time i selected a partition size that was too large (selected the maximum size of 450) then it suddenly didn't react to the powerbutton anymore. Only when i put in a connect usb cable it started booting. I repeated the partitioning after a task29 with 200/44 and after trial&error got to install a cyogen rom. It booted nicely the first time, but didn't have a sim-card installed yet. So i got my sim and wanted to boot it and discoverd that the powerbutton still doesn't do anything :S It only responds to the usb cable. When booted it does respond to it (standby etc).
What happened and how can i make it work again???
[edit]
It also appears that it can only run with the usb connected. If i disconnect the usb for some reason (with full battery) it immediatly dies. That happend also when in the three-color screen and in the clk recovery menu.
Bent battery pin.
it could be what samsamuel says or u hv dirt in the connector toggle switch under the button....try sam's option (reset the bent pin) if that doesnt do the trick....try removing any dirt from the button (dont pry it too hard)..some strong air flow might may b just enough...
How a big problem can have a simple solution That did the trick. Thx

Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate it if you could give me an advice for my TMOUS HD2 P81120, that won't turn on.
I bought it with some firmware problems, spent plenty of time flashing it and finally managed to install a stock ROM from SDCARD using a fridge (it couldn't install w/o such cooling).
After that, it booted to white splashscreen with pink logo (smth like "Bringing happinness", don't remember the text) and stuck on it. I rebooted, flashed HSPL 2.08 successfully.
After that the device won't turn on at all. When I hold the Power button, all I get a barely sensible short vibration, but the screen stays completely black, no signs of life. I kept it on AC charger overnight — nothing has changed. When I hook it to the charger w/o the battery, and put the battery in, HD2 powers on itself (same short vibration, no other signs of life). Tried removing the sdcard, different combinations of power-ons, still nothing. Tried freezing it again for 5-10 mins — still no luck.
Please let me know what else I can try.
and one more thing — when I plug the USB, the PC doesn't detect any device.
It seems that a JTAG is my last resort, still I'm not sure I can find the hardware for that.

the problem is that your HD2 are overheating so the only thing thats left in your case is to replace motherboard

Good point!
Make sure that none of the three pins on the phone that touch the battery are bent. One of the causes of constant reboot is when one of those pins are not touching the battery. Please let me know if it worked for you...

That were definitely not the battery pins.
If anyone cares - here's how it ended (or not yet )
I found a JTAG service in my city, they wanted 50$ to restore the device to a working condition. I agreed, they took the phone. After that they've called me and said they have restored the bootloader, but can't make HD2 actually boot (they flashed stock ROM directly through JTAG, but it always got stuck on "Stick Together Screen". Now I understand I have probably flashed the wrong rom/radio — that's what has bricked it. I paid them 7$ for "diagnostics" and got back a phone with a working bootloader.
After that, I used the "fridge" method to flash latest radio for HD2 and some custom Win6.5.3 ROM (10 mins of fridge before each step). Then I cooled it again and put the cold phone on a frozen chicken (still laughing on that). Guess what — it booted into WM6.5, I even managed to make a call, though it rebooted in 3-5 mins. Overheating problems confirmed, at least it's not a complete brick.
What I've done now is found a guy that will try to "reball" the CPU's BGA - sort of "reheat" the chip to get a firm contact of it with the motherboard, and solve the heat problems. He'll call me today and let me know how it went — i'll update this topic.
As a conclusion, I can only say: "Check three times what you're flashing before you actually are flashing". Otherwise, JTAG is a wonderful "resurrection" solution, although a bit pricey (my case is pure luck).
