Ok so my Vouge's screen busted on me and I was using mymobiler to use the phone till I got a replacement. Now I have a temporary phone and I will be getting an HTC HD2 and I would like to get everything off of my Touch and on to the HD2.
Problem is all of a sudden my phone does not want to connect to my computer with either ActiveSync or MyMobiler... I did not change anything that I can think off. The only difference I have noticed is before the phone use to stay lit up regardless of how long the phone was connected to the computer. Now all it will do is show the charging light but the screen dims after a a bit and then eventually turns off but still shows the charging light. As long as I have had this phone it never did this while connected to a computer it always stayed light up...
Is there anything thing I can do to get this to connect again?? Any help would be great, thanks in advance guys...

Have you tried to soft reset?

It might not do anything but it is worth a shot anyways. Take out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in, and turn on the device. Then, connect it back to the computer, but to a different USB port than the one you normally use.
Yeah I have tried that to though I used the same usb port so I will try it again after work... I don't understand what happened it worked fine like a week ago now nothing... I really would like to get the stuff off of it. Sprint told me the port may have went bad and I am going in Friday to have them look at it but still doesnt't seem like that is the issue.

I agree, otherwise it wouldn't even charge.
Yeah that is what I was thinking... but then again it is acting like I am using the wrong USB cord. Like I have a mini usb cord for my external hard drive and if I would use that it back when my phone worked it would do the same exact thing, just charge and not connect.
But I am using the cord provided by HTC and I even tried using my digital camera's cord because I know that one would work to before. Nothing... This is pissing me off I don't understand why it randomly doesn't want to work after 2 years of no issues...

Well, it could be that the reason why your screen failed was because of a problem with the electronics (board on the phone) and after such a long time using it, it finally gave up. Kinda like riding in your car with a nail in the tire. You can keep going, but eventually... it will give in.

It could simply be that something shorted. Have you tried to attach it to another computer?
Yeah... I guess I'm screwed unless the sprint store can do something for me when I go in there
Have you tried a different PC? (doubt this is the case, but...
hiya guys i recently bought a second hand hd2 after reading some reviews on how good it was so obviously i just had to start messing with it and coming from a htc wildfire was expecting things to be just as simple as root and install a rom wich after reading up went sweet as a nut took bot 30 mins total ......so heres the problem i was really impressed showed my phone off to every1 including my dad who was also impressed so bought 1 aswell (second hand so cant get a replacement as the phone is technically not broken) now for the last 4 or 5 days ive been trying to duplicate what ive done on my phone on his but cant get the damn thing recognized and before anyone says it lol ive tried everything i can fiind on the net about the issue ive tried diffrent usb ports on my pc wich is running win7 ive tried his pc also running win7 ....my laptop with winxp all usb ports from fresh install and another laptop running vista all with the appropriate programs wmdc and activesync for xp ......i have 7 usb cables diffrent makes but 3 are official htc including the original cable for hd2 (wich i used to flash my phone) and ive tried 2 of his including his original for hd2 ....reinstalled win6.5 using sd card method and still nothing apart from the fact it charges on every cable ive tried wich to me says that the usb port on the phone is fine it doesnt bring up the menu asking how i want to use the connection i.e charge activesync or mass storage (and ive got the option ticked to ask me....and ive tried deselcting fast connect) it just doesnt recognise the connection and windows doesnt respond at all to the phone being connected even in bootloader mode it stays on serial and doesnt change to usb..... everything radio, rom is the same now as when i did mine same cable but no connection ......i think that covers everything ive tried does any1 know off anything ive missed or know if theres a fix for this issue lmao sorry bout the essay just wanted to get accross that i think ive tried EVERYTHING thanks for taking the time to read
My guess,,, bent /broken/ missing pin in the phones USB socket, or connection fault in the associated wiring to the USB port, so data connection isn't being triggered but charging works because those two pins are fine.
Can try cleaning the USB port, a soft DRY toothbrush perhaps, give the port a close examination.
thanks for quick reply i did examine the port everything looked fine couldnt see anything bent in there a clean might help but looks ok to me thats the odd thing the phone looks new no damage to the port or phone and ive read about other people having the same issue but ive tried everything that has helped others with no success just wondering wether the phones a scrapper win6.5 definatly not a keeper lol
Lol ill take it off your hands before you "scrap" it. ...

If the USB is the only issue you would probably still get a reasonable price for it on ebay.
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
i think that the phone in general probably gets bought for the multiple o.s .....i know thats why i got mine yea the phone has some impressive upsides but i should have read the downsides this phone seems to be a accident waiting to happen dodgy usb, dead touchscreens, dodgy or sticky power buttons and getting bricked through normal usuage .... the list seems endless from what ive read in last few days ....my hd2 seems to have gone fine but just wondering how long its gonna last im scared to use it now lmao
I wouldn't worry about that. People are always gonna post their horror stories but not many come here to say ,
"Everything's fine, touchscreen hasn't died yet..."
If it reassures you at all, I've had mine since launch, its been dropped, flashed numerous times, got soaked in the rain, smashed into a fridge and the only thing wrong with her is a small dent on the bezel by the screen. I'd say it's a pretty resiliant device for what is essentially a 4" piece of glass....

lol yea that sounds like some hardcore usage ......and yea i suppose as im looking for an actual problem or rather an answer to a problem with the phone only natural im gunna find other peoples problems
I beleive like Sam said your data transfer pins are not working. Especialy sense you said it does not ask if you want ActiveSync or Disk drive.
And without working data tranfer pins you will not be able to flash Android. You can flas MAGLDR and cLK via SD card, but you can not flash CWM or use fastboot commands without a USB connection. Sorry friend, best thing to do is flash a good custom Windows Mobile ROM to your dad's HD2 or get the USB fixed.
Hey guys thanks for the advice looks like he's getting custom windows rom lol anything for speed and useability improvements any suggeations for a good custom rom to try as I'm new tink the hd2 and a fan of android not too sure on the windows side of things
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Hello everybody! It's samanen here, a newbie on xda. NOOOB
For first I'd like to apologize my not-so-good english, I'm 15 and from Finland so please keep the point in the problems and forget my english difficulties
Ok, splutting off and let's move to the point here
So I bought my HD2 (used) about two weeks ago, and right away tried to put WP7/android on it and sync music, contacts, videos and other stuff - but my USB connection didn't, and still doesn't work.
Ofcourse I tried reconnecting, cleaning the usb cable and port on the phone, tried another PCs and total of 10 different USB ports, another cable, Mac OS, Win7, WinXP, SyncMate, WMDC, ActiveSync, removing the battery, resetting the phone, removing SD-Card and SIM-Card, ActiveSync, Hard Disk and Faster data sync options, etc etc with no positive result. Its no fun having a mobile device with no access to put media and other stuff on it :/
Specs and facts:
HTC HD2 (aka Leo), non-T-Mobile (EU version?)
Software info:
Os Version : 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila version : 2.5.20181527.0
ROM version : 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM date : 09/29/10
Radio version : 2.15.50.14
Protocol version : 15.42.50.11U
Hardware info:
CPU : QUALCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed : 1024 Mhz
RAM size : 448MB
Flash memory size : 512MB
Enough numbers?
I think I have tried all the stuff I found here... Still no result, can't be detected on my PC. When I connect my phone to my PC, a notification pops up saying that USB device couldn't be detected/recognized, and it may be damaged. 1 second after it popped up it disappears and if I check the devices connected to the pc, there's no undetected devices anymore.. If I'm quick enough to click on the notification, it shows me what devices are connected and their situations, and I can see an undetected USB device there, but if I refresh (reopen) the window it disappears..
Also, if I use the option "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC." and connect to a PC via USB, it STILL does charge the battery. So my hypothesis is that the phone believes it's on a charger/car kit because its not getting recognized as a USB hard disk/device on my PC and still charges as it's connected to PC. Could this be possible in any way?
Also, when I got the phone and put it on the charger, CoPilot popped up every second (I closed it, it opened, etc) and I had to uncheck some option "When connected to a car kit open CoPilot automatically", so another thing there which refers to my phone being a psycho and believing its being on a charger.
I know there are people with this problem, and topics on this forum, but I think my problem is a bit different from theirs and nobody has really got an answer for this..
Then to my second problem. I can't enter Bootloader mode, or Hard Reset mode.
When I hold down the volDown button and press the bootup button, my phone either normally boots up or doesn't even boot up or show signs of booting into bootloader.
Once I got into the bootloader after dozens of tries, but as I'm stupid, I didn't write down the numbers shown there.. And now I seem not to be able to enter bootloader even after 20 tries.. Hardreset neither works. Same plan - either normally boots up or doesn't do anything. Weirdo much? Can anyone help? :/ I think I've bought an useless device..
Thanks,
samanen
Hi man! Try to flash your phone from SD card with stock ROM. Hope you will get good result! Let me know what happens!
Maybe it is your usb cable. I also can not sync with the cable that was delivered with the official carkit. It is just possible to load the device with that cable.
Your bootloader problem could be caused by broken volume buttons. I think they often get destroyed when replacing a broken touch screen. Do they work without problems inside the os?

Hai there! Thanks for your suggestion! What rom version would you recommend? I'm such a noob with these roms etc so I'd appreciate much if you/somebody could tell me what to use I will try that as soon as I find my microSD->SD adapter (Im afraid it got into vacuum cleaner as I cleaned my room ), also I have no idea how that's done but I believe there's a tutorial on xda.

I have tried 2 different cables, one from the package the previous owner provided me and another one from my dad's N97 mini. Could I be so unlucky that those cables are ones that don't work with HD2? I hope I am If you think its about the cable, what cable would you suggest me to get? Just a basic microusb cable from the electonic store? Also the previous owner told me he wiped out all the data and synced the phone before sending it to me WITH the cable provided, so.. Idk Strange.
No, my volume buttons are working great inside the os, I can adjust vol down and up well without any problems. Also my volbuttons are not sticky or feel like broken so I just don't believe that theyre damaged. Also the screen has never got damaged or repaired.
Another problem - Isn't it required to enter bootloader mode when updating the rom? :/
Thanks for both of you for your replies and suggestions, I will keep you updated if anything helps or gets clarified!
-samanen
Sorry then i can not help you. I do not think it is the cable. I bought one on amazon. It is official htc charging and syncing cable. This just came to my mind because you said that your copilot starts if you plug your phone in....
If you want to install another winmo rom you can do it when connected via active sync and it will automatically go to bootloader. If you want to install hspl for custom roms or android you have to go to bootloader for the installation.

Man, do you think they could fix this in warranty/quaranty? I have still warranty left on this one and i think I could get a new one/HD7 in return
Yeah. They must fix it if you dont damaged phone mechanically(maybe previous owner replaced screen) or you dont flash hspl magld android Leo is still The King i think. Here more opportunities than in HD7 On eBay HD7 cheaper than HD2 because WP7 os not good than android let me know whats up!

No, I've never dropped it or anything and when it came from the previous owner the usb didnt work, and he has never replaced anything on this model (his previous model was replaced to this, completely new one because his previous model stopped working with no reason).
Maybe I should contact the warranty Thanks for the answers, let's see what they can do!

I changed my old iPhone 3G 16Gb white, in terrible condition to this HD2 and paid 100€ Yeah android or WP7 would be soo super cool, the customizability is the thing why I chose HD2! It's amazing how there are still developers developing new stuff for HD2, I highly aprreciate their work
Waiting for their reply from the warranty center!

Still no reply, wow. Today I got a message that my phone will be back in two weeks. Slow service.
They also told me, that as the usb is LOOSE when you plug the cable in, it may be my fault. wow. So they're not repairing it for free i quess..
My phone is back..
Ok, got my phone back. The mohterboard has been damaged, they told me it had got wet. That's something what's not under warranty, so they're not repairing it for free. The repair would cost almost 500€ so it's totally not worth it. The report says: USB-Connectiong is loose (from other components), also injury with water in screen and motherboard.
Seems that the last owner already knew it's damaged and sold me a damaged one, as he told me it's working 100%.
So, I don't have a clue what to do next. I think I should try repairing it myself but is it worth it? Or worth trying? Where can i get the parts and tutorials how to do this? I think i gotta only repair the usb thingy but i'm not sure - I'd love to get some help now. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem and it seemed that my cable was loose. You can try repairing it by yourself (it's not under warranty) or trying different pc/cable.
Try this : go to your pc and remove USB driver from application control panel,and after reconnect hd2.
Probably us not a cable problem, but drivers problems.
Bye.

Have you tried a nother USB cable?
Have you tried connecting with a different cable? Are you trying to connect from android or MAGLDR? What do you mean by "adapter"?
Just a couple of questions that might help the community better diagnose your problem.
Also, on that note, you don't need the USB to go back to Windows Mobile, the SD card method is also always availible. Unless of course you wish not to lose HSPL and MAGLDR. Though i realise all of the above is of little use to you currently if you cannot charge your device.
i feel you bro
bro,
i tried everything also the sd card method it did not work out for me.
The only way was just to struggle with the cable in order to charge, it took me alot of time cuz i had to hold the cable the hole time like a statue.
if i moved a little bit i just easily lost the connection with the charging or the usb connection with the pc.
with a lot of effort i managed to install the official wp 6.5 os and remove the hspl.
I just send it for repair to htc so i dont have to worry about it anymore.

yeah thats happened to me. some hd2s have an issue with mini usb port not really being soldered right, so it seems sometimes its "loose" and i remember what time i was flashing a rom, and it just paused and i got an error. im sure you had to hold it a certain way just to get a charge huh? lol
if you have a know how, its pretty easy to solder the usb on real tight, if not just send it in for repair.
ahaha nice man,
But i was holding the whole time the phone with the charger and in the same time i was giving my little sister instruction to start the program to flash an go on. Other wise i would lose the charge opportunity, it was really hard.
yea, theres a thread here that i followed to fix it permanently the first try. was real easy. but glad you got it fixed and returned it to stock
after a rom replacement proceedure i remained withe the phone remaing off even after many resets and the amber light on top not lighting even on connecting either to pc win 7 or to the mains adaptor windows does even notice that a usb device was connected:crying:d please help

You have just wiped you phone..
Get the hd2 nand toolkit and have alook here here
sorry wrong link go here first :cyclops:
I am presuming you are trying to put android on you phone so the sd-card is also an issue.
It will not work with android, use a different one!!

I'm just saying for future reference, just because a random site provides a file which it says to flash doesn't mean you should do it. First search for that thing on XDA (it will almost certainly be here if it's a known fix/ROM/whatever) then research it thoroughly and make sure you know what it does, because it doesn't seem like you did that.

Sorry to say but you are probably right, it sounds like your device is hard bricked. With it stopping at 7% during a stock ROM flash that tells me it was probably in the process of flashing the radio as i know some where around 8% is when the radio is being flashed. Further more the thing about "until i inserted a sim card.....this made the phone stop on the ENERGIZE logo and make 6 vibrations" is really strange I have never heard of a SIM card doing this to a device of any kind. i would be interested in more details about this. As for fixing your device you can have it JTAGed or replace the mainboard, those are the only two fixes for a hard bricked HD2. Sorry for your misfortune my friend.
i think youre right
i sent it for jtag and they managed to make the device charge on plugging it to the mains and make the led change colour on 100 percent of the battery........unfortuneately the phone now makes the 6 vibrations and shows the htc logo on a white screen and stops there.....i think it is a hardware issue..............
i am trying to make the proccedure suggested using hd2 toolkit but the vibrations remain at each stage , now the radio installs up to 99 percent and stops there:crying:
thanks again for your interest ................
yea, of all the stuff you mentioned, the vibrations are the real killer. I'd suspect hardware too.
