Hey all,
It seems my HTC HD2 is unable to receive any kind of charge. I've used a different usb cable, my roommate's myTouch 4G cable and a friend's HD2 cable, and they all cannot charge my phone as well. My phone doesn't recognize any cable that is being plugged into it. I've made sure I'm in the right USB connection setting, checked the little 3 gold prongs where my battery receives (electricity?) from the phone to make sure those aren't situated in an odd bent position, but alas nothing. Could it do something with the actual part on my HD2 that the cables plug into? Phone is currently dead and I have no phone and am out of warranty. Is it a part I can easily replace?
Thanks for your help!
Edit: It seems the HD2 was launched on March 16 so I'm a couple of days past the 1 year mark fo warranty. Do you think I could persuade tmobile or HTC into replacing my phone even though it this slim out of warranty?
Does your lex still show that the battery is charving when you plug your HD2 up to your charger? If so you may have a faulty battery. If not then it could be a hardware or software problem. I suggest you buy another battery and see if
Nope, the chord isn't even recognized. It's as if nothing is plugged in when in fact something is.
Sounds like a broken microUSB port. Unnless you have a warranty, you're out of luck. To replace the port, you'd need a whole new mainboard.
Yes if your HD2 is not recognizing the USB cable then yes it sounds like you have a bad mini USB port on your HD2. You can try a hard reset if you want to but make sure to back up all your personal information first, but I kinda doubt it will do you any good to hard reset. You will have to get the main board replaced if this is your issue, wi h I believe it is. You can either find a cell phone repair shop or do it yourzlc ic you feel comfortable enough doing it. replacing the mainboard requires no soldering as all the ribbons just plug in. You just need to be gental with everything as you are working on it.
Now to get you by until you can either fix the phone or just to be abale to harvesting the battery for day to day use. You can by a external charger. Or you can take a old USB cable or buy a cheap USB cable and cut the end off of it. Strip it back a little and the zrip back the red and black wires a little. With a little tape attack the red wire to the positive(+) battery terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. Then plug the cable into your wall charger, don't worry the oltage comming out the wires is very low and will not hurt you, in fact you can not even feel it. They are marked on the battery. I do suggest just using this as a very temporary fix until you can vet an external charger or get your HD2 fixed as I do not know if this may be detramental to your battery with long term use. Also I give credit to Senior Member Samsamuel for this idea as he is the one I learned it from.
I contacted HTC and they confirmed the phone is still under warranty. The problem is I'm running CM7 on my phone so I'm asssuming when they start it up and view I have a 3rd party ROM, they'll void my warranty. I would rather fix it myself personally but I don't know anything nor do I really want to touch/pay for a new mainboard. But if my phone does get it's warranty voided, I'll have to pay either way. I think I might just go ahead and buy an external battery charger until i figure out what to do

magldr wont let battery charge when phone is off.
No fault with phone, dead battery and user error.
Use another hd2 that isnt running magldr to charg ebattery, OR use friends battery to flash to winmo and use winmo to charge battery, OR take an old usb cable, mini or micro, cut end off, find red and black wires, connect red to + black to - on the battery (the markings are on there faintly) and plug in to wall charger for a half minute or so then try start phone with real usb cable plugged in. should be enough charge to boot far enough into android for the charging to start. If nothing at all happens, then maybe there is really a problem.
You can hold the wires on by hand, you wont feel it, or i used tape.

stock ROM. download it, extract the .NBH from the .exe, stick the .NBH on the SD card and rename it to LEOIMG. Hold volume down + power when the phone is off.
may i repeat, just to confirm you considered this before you go about getting it repaired,, , if the battery is flat and magldr is installed, the phone wont charge.nothing will happen when you plug in usb.

Hi,
I bought a miniUSB to microUSB converter cable from ebay the other day. I connected the cable with a conventional miniUSB cable and then plug it into my hd2. As soon as I plug the USB cable to my computer's USB port, the hd2 went off and can't be turned on by pressing any button. I thought that it was a general Windows Mobile issue so decided to press on the red reset button to soft reset the phone. Pressing the reset button has no effect. So I took out the battery, waited for a minute or 2, put it back and then turned on the phone by pressing the power button. The phone was switched on and I was relieved (well, only for a few minutes). The phone seems to be working ok - phone, internet, etc. Then I tried to connect the phone to my computer using the _original_ HTC microUSB cable and it didn't work . I then tried to charge the phone using the same HTC cable with the HTC wall charger - didn't work as well. So, the end result is that, I suspect, the USB port is probably short-circuit by the crappy miniUSB to microUSB converter.
My hd2 is on its way back to the repair centre (1 month without my hd2!). Hopefully they don't notice the hspl I've got on it (it is running an official 1.66 rom though, just the spl was changed). I wanted to put the original spl back but the battery had gone flat and I can't charge it!
Anyone has tried to those miniUSB to microUSB converter cables? I want it because I have too many miniUSB cables sitting at home doing nothing. Guess I should have bought new microUSB cables instead of buying those converters.
Well, if HTC doesn't repair it because it has hspl on, then I guess I am stuffed. Or, really? A good excuse to get the Desire?! I suppose it would be expensive to get the motherboard replaced...
Sorry to hear that. It's a luck issue really. If they balk, have them send it back, buy a battery charger for a few dollars on ebay, put on SPL, and send it back*! But it'll take even longer :/
*Note, I don't know if this actually works, but it's being proposed in the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647043

I bought one of these converters a couple of weeks ago from e-bay as well. Touch wood I haven't had any problems with mine but after reading your experience I might just get another micro usb charger.
Hope everything works out for you!

They WILL notice, as from other reports it looks they're being pretty strict about that now. When will people learn to restore SPL first thing before being out of battery when there's a problem, or to buy a $10 charger/extra battery to do it before wasting money and time on sending an HSPLd phone in, especially when there have been several threads about it very recently...
And avoid Chinese $1 adapters, chargers and microusb cables if you don't have equipment to check them... they don't do any QC and many are faulty. I have one of them microUSB cables, it crashes my desktop PC when I plug it in, even if it works fine on the laptop. Plus it has so huge resistance that charging with it takes twice as long.

Hey guys,
I'm a little bit new at this, but my missus flashed a rom onto her HD2 a year or two ago and about 6 months ago I tried to revert it back to stock, so i could give it to a mate...
It didnt go well and ended up not being able to get into the boot loader (three colour screen?).
So i pulled it out yesterday as I am going to need a temporary phone soon...
I plugged it into the charger and it vibrated 5 or 6 times and up came the HTC logo with the white background... It stayed on that permantly.
So i'm at work now and figured i'd try to get into the boot loader (3 colour screen).
But now when i try to turn it on, it doesnt want to. Every now and then after pulling out the battery and plugging it in and fiddling around and putting the battery back, it will vibrate 5 or 6 times again, but no screen...
I'm pretty sure its due for the graveyard... But is there any chance to get this happening again?
Thanks for any help, and sorry, i dont remember the ROMs or anything, but they were ones that were all recommended in here... i'm usually very carefull when flashing.
When turning the phone on, hold the power (far right button) and the down volume button...be quick and you shouldnt see the splash screen. If that works, get a rom and rename to leoimg and put that on your sdcard.
She's not turning on anymore... its like the battery is flat but she's plugged in...
It does have a cheap ebay battery, so might try and dig out the original battery and see if that is the issue..

If you could not get it to the bootloader the first time way back when then it is .ricked and no amount of time of it just laying ariund will have changed that. The only way to revive the phone is by using a JTAG and a RIFFBOX on it but the RICFBOX will cost you where the JTAG is not that bad. Or you can replace the mainboard in the phone. These are your options my friend.
Turns out the Ebay battery was having an effect on it...
Have got it to the three colour screen! woo!
It says:
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x50
So looks like i've got SPL-3.03.0000???
No idea on the radio though. and no idea how to get this back to stock.
Any ideas?
Oh and also, we bought this initially from mobicity.com.au and its apparently a Thailand phone, so we always used to have problems trying to flash a ROM that was in english with out Serial Number.
Any help would be awesome... I dont know alot about this stuff, and should never have let the missus stuff around with it.
THanks for any help guys and gals.
Edit:
Better yet, How do i go from where my phone is now, to WP7?
Should i go right back to stock first? or can I just go from here?
Should I change from SPL-3.03.0000?
Any help would be awesome.
thank you
Edit again:
With this SPL, could I Install MAGLDR 1.13 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912416)
Update the ROM,
THen in MAGLDR USB Flash and Install DFT_LEO70_RELEASE?
If I can do this with SPL3.03.0000, then would love to have some WP7 goodness.

You can go straight for WP7, but to flash MAGLDR you have to have HSPL 2.08. Google or search XDA for HSPL 4 and download it and flash it through bootloader. Before you try to flash though make sure to go to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the lates version of Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) and install it to your computer as it has USB drivers you need. If you are using Windows XP then download the latest ActiveSync from there and install it to your computer. Put your HD2 into bootloader and connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer and wait utiil the Serial changes to USB in the white bar of bootloader. Then run the HSPL 4 and when it ask what HSPL or SPL you want to install make sure to select HSPL 2.08, this is the only HSPL MAGLDR supports. Use the same method to flash a new radio if need be and to flash MAGLDR. Let me know if you need any more assistance and I will help, you can even PM me if you want. Glad your HD2 is not bricked too.
Thanks for the help...

No it does not charge, sorry. Also sorry for the late post I had some personal crap to do lol.
Edit: You can buy a external charger for the HD2 battery if you want to. Or if you want to you can do this. Note I only suggest you do this long enough to flash some kind of ROM onto your HD2 and then completely charge the battery the normal way. Take a old or very cheap USB cable and cut the end off. Strip back the red and black wires a little. Use some tape to attach the red wire to the positive battery terminal and the black wire to the negative battery terminal. Plug the USB cable into your wall charger and mantain a watch on the battery for any warming up or swelling as it is a very very small chance this could occur. Also don't worry about getting shocked cause it is like ultra low voltage going through the wires.
Thanks a heap... have dodgied up a charging rig... lol...
Its not easy with the battery terminals being recessed, but i think its working...
what you reckon an hour or so at that? or only half an hour should do it?

I would go for like 40 to 45 minutes as long as you do not see any adverse effects like I mentioned before. Make sure you are completely ready to flash a ROM when you take it off the charging rig. best of luck.

Hopefully this is not a bit late, but be careful of charging with makeshift arrangements. LiIon batteries can have explosive!

Yes you are very correct the LiIon batteries have s potential to be explosive. This is why I told him to maintane a watch on it as he was charging for any warming or swelling of the battery as this is a sign it needs to be disconnected. I do not recomend this method of charging as a daily charging method as there is no monitor of the battery bing charged beside the person doing the charging. With normal charging with the device the device has monitoring software and can tell you if it needs to be disconnected from the charger. But just to add to this subject for other members benifit, and I am not trying to promote charging batteries in this manner what so ever, as it is a certain level of danger involved all be it minimal. When you connect a USB cable to charge the battery normaly it creates a connection between the male mini USB connector pins and the the pins in the female port of the phone for the positive and the negative wires that go back to the wall charger or computer's USB port. The pins have a direct path to the battery pins so it can tranfer the voltage to the battery. So you see there is no internal parts in the phone that control charging only a pathway/conductor for the voltage to travel. The wall charger or the internal step down transformer of the computer is what controls voltage and the rate of flow of the electricity and voltage. So as long as you have proper connection and proper functioning charging source it is a very minimal risk. I have tested the pins in my HD2 while plugged into my wall charger and a USB cable I stripped back and got the exact same voltage readings. I have not seen a scimatic drawing on the HD2 but I have reseach charging of cell phones and most other battery operated devices and it is pretty much an indusrty standard that the charger controls charging with the pins or terminals that connect to the battery only providing a means of a conductive pathway for the charge to travel to the bttery terminals. But as I said before I do not suggest one to use my above method of charging as a normal thing. So please whenever possible use a approved charger or charging aporatise.
My personal opinion... WAIT (sorry for the caps)
Don't risk to flash with that faulty or bad battery.
If you take the batt out of your device it doesn't boot at all, even on the 1 Amp charger!
If you check the warnings from HTC they state that you need atleast 50% in the batt. That warning is not there without a reason.
So if you have a bad battery you take very big risks that I would never take.
I know it itches to have this up and running the way you want to but for your mind and wallet sake buy another ebay batt.
Leave it aside untill a better batt arrives.
My 2 Eurocents!

I've just been on holiday with my HD2 and after a day on the beach it now won't charge. I'm assuming that the connector is duff, however at 18months old I'm guessing it'll be out of warranty. It is insured, but since I've installed Android on it, that will have removed any protection I have for it. Does anyone have any advice at all, or is it time I said goodbye to it?

did you use magldr?
Magldr prevents the phone from charging unless it is on and booted into android.
You can
1 - use another hd2 running winmo to charge your battery
2 - get an external charger
3 - borrow a charged battery, use it to flash winmo to your phone and use your phone to charge your battery
4 - get a mini or micro USB cable (can prob do it with the larger printer type usb cables too, whatever you have about), , , cut end off, , , bare the red and black wires, , , plug into wall charger and apply red to + and black to - for about a minute, maybe two, , , battery back in phone, hit power on, plug real USb cable into phone and wall charger, , hope that you gave it enough juice to get half way thru booting, which is when charging will start. If you didnt. and it dioes , , try again for longer.
U can use your fingers to hold the wires, it wont shock you.
Also if you are in the EU its a 2 year warranty, all you need is to borrow a charged battery and return the phone to stock, same for insurance of course

Hello,
I don't know if it is the right place to post, but because I think my problem has to do with the software.
A few weeks ago, my HTC touch HD stopped being charged when it was on. No signs that USB was connected, nor with the computer or the charger. Still though it would charge when the phone was off, so I postponed to fix it back then. When I tried to change the ROM to the latest one(this is the ROM I have installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809477), I couldn't and even after I connected the USB the screen kept showing "serial". Things are getting worse, now it shuts down without any alerts, especially when I watch youtube videos or browse the internet...
What do you think is the problem and what should I do? Can the device be fixed? I dont want to lose my beloved Blackstone
Thanks in advance!
the blackstone usb port is a known weak spot, maybe it really just quit on you and you should replace the mainboard. another possibility would be that the phone is fine and the battery is broken. the easiest way to tell which one it is would be to charge the battery directly in a docking station or external wall charger or get a new battery for it and try and charge it in the phone, see if it behaves any differently than your phone does now. if you are lucky, you can get your hands on either one from a store with a good return policy, so if that does not do the trick, you can return it as used only once and get your money back.
sadly, if this didn't help, you might want to say goodbye to your beloved blackstone, because replacing the mainboard is a lot of work and might become quite pricey for a device that is hardly worth 100eur these days.

I person I know has a working blackstone and I will ask him to lend me the battery. I am not good at soldering and I wouldn't bother with changing the board at all.
I cross my fingers and hope it works, because I loved this phone so far, it could do anything...
Got the battery from that guy, tested the phone and still it wont charge...
too bad, then probably your usb port and/or mainboard is fried. if you want to hold on to the phone, get an external charger, like a docking station with 2nd battery charger, kinda like this (not this exact one obviously, as it is for the galaxy s2): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Sync-C...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a16087f53
or a direct battery charger like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1530-bat...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cbebda52d
Once again thanks, but I have already have made my plans!
The phone itself is far from broken, so I am going to make it an entertainment device, for home use. No battery. Just a 3.7 DC transformer, acting like a battery. For the move, a simple nokia dumphone does the work!
Going to get back on you when I complete the project.
My nexus 7 doesn't turn on or hold a charge. I plug it in to the wall and the charging icon will come on for five seconds, then the whole screen will turn off. If I unplug and plug the usb cable back in the same thing will happen.
Is there anyway to fix it or am I screwed?

How old is it? Is it old enough that the battery might be dead? Maybe the battery connection is simply loose or disconnected.
This shows you how to get to it : http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Nexus+7+Battery/9895/1
(it's also the same guide you would follow if you wanted to buy a replacement battery and install it, otherwise if it's just the cable you can plug it back in and secure it).

It's less than a year old. It did suffer some water damage. I turned it off and put it in rice for a few days. Now I'm trying to turn it on and this is happening. I made sure there was a good connection with the battery. I also took it apart to make sure nothing was still wet and all the connections seemed good. I've also tried different cables and chargers. The original cable that came with it is damaged, but I've tried 3 other ones. Same result

Even if nothing was still wet now, there could be some corrosion in the internal parts, or some other parts could have simply been shorted and as a result would need to be serviced. If a new battery doesn't do the trick then it's probably something on the mainboard that has been shorted.

eBay, or maybe the iFixit site might have parts, but usually when it comes down to needing a new mainboard, cost-wise you would just get a new one, and then sell parts off your broken one to make up for the difference.
