Need help phone wont turn on - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

My friend was trying install android on his hd2 and he clicked on haret first and he pulled the battery out of his phone and now he cant get it to turn on is there any fix for it?

check for bent battery pin

Can u access bootloader ?
If yes than u can reflash the ROM back.

How can i flash roms from the bootloader?

phone in bootloader - connect usb cable - when serial changes to usb, run your flash.

well we just had it booted by pushing the soft reset button and it booted up to winmobile and he shut it off and now he cant get it to go into the bootloader or turn on
Edit: it turned on again and also this is a unlocked running on At&t

well is he trying to run both winmo and android or making it a strictly android phone?

i dont know much about WM since im an android user but he running android off the sdcard for some reason the phone will turn on but when it shuts off it wont turn on he messed up and didnt run CLRCAD first and he ran the Herat first and it made the phone not want to boot up all the time

1st of all your friend need to decide what he wants, either windows or android.
what's the poit to start qindows and than boot into android?
he neet to flash the sys properly and not start from sd card.once the system is in flash u have stable sys,win or android.
so if he decide to go with android just go to Android NAND section.

Do you think the world has to be either fully android or fully win mobile? I think not. I use both and want both. And NAND is NOT fully stable either.

Phone will turn or or it won't turn on? Which is it? Are you saying it won't boot to winmo or it won't boot to android? If you remove the sd card does the phone boot to winmo? With the phone completely off what happens when you push the button to turn on the phone? You need to better explain your issue and what is actually happening. Cramming vague info into one super long sentence does not help you.

The reason were doing it this way is because hes not very smart at messing with this kind of stuff thats how he got his phone to not turn back on for some reason. Like when it turned off he couldnt get it to turn back on we both thought it was bricked but i started looking around posted on here and we push the soft reset button on the back of the phone and now it turns on but sometimes it wont its weird

Am I the only one who don't know what the hell is going on ?

I had this when trying to run SD card builds. Every rom every winmo rom, every radio, always the same,,, 99% of the time it screwed the winmo install and had to hard reset.
tried a few times for several hours to fault find,never solved it. All hail nand!

I still don't have a clue. If you are not smart enough to install an sd build (copy and paste) I sure as hell don't know how someone is going to go through all that for NAND builds. And the whole problem just might be that the call end/power button is defective.
Whatever this way is then good luck.

just install a stock rom going into bootloader choose accordingly depending on the hd2 version euro512 or t mobile 1024 via active sync or sd card method

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477(for 512 leo)
when u finish installing either stick to windows mobile or go for nand accordingly as stated in the link or this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981811
be aware of what hd2 version u have and install accordingly the hspl.
hope this helps.

[Q] SOD no matter what build

Well before everyone attacks me with "try searching on forums" responses, i have done that already. So here is my problem. no matter what build i use i will occassionally get sod and have to remove the battery to power it back on. the button lights turn on like its going to power on but no matter how long i wait it wont come out of sleep.
I have all display settings turned off in windows mobile before i boot into android, and i have auto like turned off in both windows and android. I have auto rotate turned off, and screen time out set to 30 min, which actually fixed my problem for a while. it always seems to happen that something happens that i have to power off my phone, and as soon as i do that is when it starts acting up and i get sod. it takes a few tries of taking out the battery for the phone to stop getting sod but after a few days it seems to come back.
I have even tried reformatting my sd card and still had the problem. i have the stock 16 gig sd card it came with. i havent flashed anything on the phone because i dont want to risk screwing up, so you guys are my last resort because i have tried everything.
Time to try different sd card.
In both windows and android, Auto light is off and you manually set the display backlight?
Have you tried the hyperdroid 1.7 version??

Im pretty sure this is ur problem. Lots of things go wrong with stock.
its not as hard as it seems. just follow the intructions for ur specific hd2.
(look in the usa hd2 forums) if ur a usa hd2 user. IM SURE ITS A STICKY.
IF U WANT TRY THE OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM T-MOBILE!
i have heard good things about it
Unfortunately you have no choice but to flash the HSPL, a custom rom, and a radio. these are easy. ive flashed my phone countless times. I've also flashed other peoples HD2's countless times. Even when the phone was in the middle of flashing and the power went out at my house it did not brick the phone.
If you want to run android as a daily driver (like I do) my best advice is to flash the following.
HSPL (duh lol) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
Radio version 2.12.50 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9GU2FF3X
WinMo rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238
(click on the first 'ChuckyDroidRom' picture under downloads in the first post.
You will use this utility to flash the 3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575524
when/if you download the 3 items, create a folder on your desktop. Name it something simple. Then inside that folder create 3 folders. name them HSPL, Radio, WinMo Rom. extract the downloaded items to their respective folders.
with the customRUU utility. extract the file to each of the folders.
Then,
Flash the HSPL first, the radio second, then the winmo rom.
when finished with those use the format sd card app in windows mobile to format your sd card (the program is set to format to android specs)
then copy whatever android build you want to the sd card.
Enjoy!
if you have any questions you may feel free to PM me. I will be home all day and would not mind helping you.
wow that is a lot easier than i thought well so far its working really nice, i havent got any sod yet, keeping my fingers crossed lol. thanks everyone for the help!

Yeah I promise you it was your radio/rom version. I had the EXACT same problem and nothing fixed it until I flashed and updated my radio. sometimes you just have to bit the bullet and dive deep!
cheers on your fixed phone, and knock on wood for no more SOD!
If you do experience SOD again. I recommend a faster SD card. I was having issues with any build I was using. Up to date flashed radio and lite WM rom, my only cure was faster SD card. I went from the stock 16GB C2, to an 8GB C6 (17.99 from Amazon), and I have not experienced SOD anymore. I have issues where sometimes the screen will not come back on right away, and I have to wait a few seconds, but it never sleeps on me anymore.

[Q] Back to WM, only by restart?

Like the title said, going to android is simple with haret.exe. But i can't find anything where it is explained how to get back the way i came? e.g. how to get back from android to wm6.5? Is restart the only way?
yes just restart ur device
gotta flash back to a stock rom. i think its gotta be bootloader method as well
Yes, if you are running an SD android build you will need to restart to get back to WinMo 6.5.
If you are, which I do not think you are (e.g. haret.exe), running a NAND android build then you will need to flash a WinMo ROM.

When you load haret.exe it removes windows mobile from RAM and boots your phone into Android kernel. WinMo isnt running in background under Android, Android is running on its own on your hardware.
To get back to windows mobile you need to reboot your phone.
ok thanks for that, i htought so. It's a shame that one can switch to android without rebooting but not the other way around. (or is firing haret.exe a sort of reboot to android?)
It'll be exactly the same
Haret stops WM and boot Android from Nand.
If you want a soft which stops Android and boot WM... you have it. It's the long press "end call".
You can find widget to reboot your phone under Android. Change the name of the widget/shortcut to "Haret" and your done
No need to develop a soft... it's included in the phone from the moment you buy it.

[Q] HELP: New phone

Hello all. I just got a HTC HD2 from a friend. It has Windows running on it and then he put android 2.2. Well had gave it to me today and said that when he wiped the info on it today for some reason it wiped the bootloader and now instead of asking which OS I want to run when I start the phone it goes straight to Window. From there I have to manually go to the SDCard and launch it.
How do I fix this issue?
I want to put the Android OS on the Phone rather than the SDCard, is there a simple way to do this at the same time?
And I want to put a new rom anyways on the phone at some point. I rather have Gingerbread running on it, would there be an option to fix this all at once?
I understand the phone to a degree and how it works but rather new to how to do all this at once or in the right order, and what to look for.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING!!! I need to get this phone up and running by the end of the day. Thanks again.

How do I put the bootloader on my phone so it will auto go to android?
Or should I just do the "Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom"? I am assuming that this will redo everything my friend did and also put it on my NAND? And it will be the latest version?
I need more feedback guys, I don't want to brick the phone, in what order should I proceed?

Hey just click on my guide I have in my sig and read it as it will let you now more about the tools you need to flash a NAND Android ROM. I also have that guide that was linked for you linked at the top of my guide and another very good guide to installing Android to NAND that is posted at the top of the Portal as I gues you would call it a stickie for now as it has been there ever sense Gunjahman wrote it.
Also if you want to stay with a SD card Android build then check out this dual boot app.

[Q] How to delete NAND android?

Hello everyone,
I bought an HTC HD2 a few days ago, (not a new one) And it was installed with UltimateDroid, I don't really like this version, and Sense doesn't work on it, so I was wondering if I can delete it, and how.
And if I delete it, Will my phone automatically run Windows mobile?
I'm new to this and this is my first time with android and htc, So I don't know anything about it.
Hope someone can help..
You have to flash a new rom using AD Recovery Tool
Easiest thing for you to do would be to start from scratch or follow this guide. You shouldn't need to do step 1 and you will already have the prerequisites. This is for Android, not WinMo.
For WinMo, download a ROM and flash it from bootloader. See the Windows Mobile dev stickies for detailed instructions (you will be able to ignore the HSPL part.)

What do you want in stead of UltimateDroid?
Android with sense, or WM6.5?
We need to know this in order to give you proper help.
I personally recommend Android, WM6.5 is a dying OS...

Dual boot is possible, WinMo on NAND, Android from SD, you can even have Ubuntu Linux on SD at the same time for triple boot.
To wipe data if you plan on going back to Windows Mobile on NAND, just flash a Windows Mobile ROM at the tri-color bootloader screen (boot the device up while holding the vol - key)
If you have Android on NAND, and want to keep Android but just want to wipe data, there's an option for that in CWM Recovery.
If you have WinMo on NAND, and just want to do a data wipe/factory reset, power on while holding both volume keys and follow the on-screen prompt
If you want to format your NAND memory, there is a tool called task 29, but it's not necessary.
If you're asking whether you can run both Windows Mobile and Android from NAND, no. It's one or the other

Sorry for the late reply, I want Android with sense! I have no experience with flashing roms etc. Never done anything like it before.
OK really first do you have magLDR or cLK ... when you turn on phone does it immediately go to boot screen or do you see some running script followed by 1,2,3,4,5,6 ... go go go!
if you have go go go the simply go to the Dev forums find a rom with (magLDR) in the title and follow instructions. they almost have a link to the best recovery to use with their rom.
if you boot straight up like a native android, or you can charge your phone when its turned off you have cLK ... to the dev forums and look for (cLK) in title and again follow instructions and get to it.

It says the 1,2,3,4,5,6.. go go go! thing, but I can also choose to go to boot screen, which gives me all kinds of numbers with flash rom and stuff.
But thanks, I'll have a look!

I assume (since about ten people per day ask exactly this) that you flashed magldr but magldr didn't start as expected? This is caused by (as I type half a dozen times a day) by not having 2.08.hspl AND a compatible radio.

You haven't given any real details as to what you have done so far.
Details details details.
So, tell us what you did so far, please. Please be detailed, with names, filenames, versions, etc. not just 'i flashed that thing and now nothing works'
hope this helps more
ill start from the start
i first ran this file HSPL3_PKG.exe this run fine without any problems
then i ran this file rom updateutility from this rar folder ive downloaded called DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
now this is where it all went wrong ,i ticked all the boxes and went thought the set up by following this video
got to 6;08 into the video and followed the steps
then got to 7;04 in the video and this is where the phone stayed on the htc screen for 30 mins ,,,and its done nothing
so i unplugged it
now i read that its possible to get the phone back to booting up with another offical rom from htc but carnt find the rom that ill need ,,plus the windows mobile wont reconise my phone in usb mode
hope this helps you a little more to solving my problem
and sorry i carnt post the link to the video yet as ive not done my 8 posts
ok, so its all fine so far, you just haven't yet done the next step, which is flash a compatible radio. (had you changed the radio after flashing hspl and before flashing magldr, magldr would have started straight away)
(I shall assume that you have a regular hd2, not a t mobile US model, since you haven't said, if it IS a tmous, then its a different problem)
download radio 2.15.50
enter bootloader
plug in usb
count to 5
run customruu to flash that radio
reboot
magldr should now start
thanks for your reply
ill go and find this radio now and keep you posted
thankyou
you rock dude
thank you so much for your time posting ,,
100% working andriod now
anything eles i should know please post
Lovely.
Only thing to know is that you shouldn't need to flash radio or magldr again now, if you want a different sized rom you may have to reflash cwm to change partition size, but if you ever have probs booting or whatever, nine times in ten someone will tell you to task29 and reflash stock and start over,,,, nine times in ten that's massive overkill.
Read read read is the best advice I can offer, see what issues others have and read the answer,, one day that issue might be yours, and you'll have a head start solving it. Never panic and start random flashing, that always ends badly, and means any help request posts are harder to work with.
thank for your reply
just a quick question for you
ive got a 16gb sd card in with about 300 app/games ,,and ive installed about 20 so far but now phone says memory full ,,should they be installing on sdcard instead of the phone memory
or is this normal for the phone memory to run out so fast
Depends on the rom, some leave 200+ free, some far far less. That's why most roms support an ext partition, which the phone treats as internal.
Backup your SD card (it will be wiped) start phone into cwm, then (I think its) advanced - format SD card, or something like that. Create a 1 or 2 gb ext partition, swap 0, and reflash the rom. C
The rest of the SD will be formatted to fat32 just like it is now.
It will detect the ext partition and use it as internal memory automatically. You should not choose the option to "move app to SD card", that will take the app off the ext partition and put it in the fat32 partition,, and some apps wont work from fat32.(angry birds for example)
