My HD2 doesn't turn on, doesn't go into boot loader, and cant soft reset. Can I officially say i bricked my HD2? And i cant even get it replaced because the camera is somehow cracked, and that supposedly "voids" the warranty.
And Im quite sure you need a JTAG to fix it, correct?
if it was a 51 radio brick, then yea, JTAG is it.
actually, it wasnt a 51. radio brick. I installed the Eugenia Rom through CustomUU while my phone was connected, it installed fine, and then it wouldn't turn on?
wont turn on at all? nothing? black screen? no charge light?
check the battery pins.
Nope, nothing at all. And by checking the battery pins, what should i be looking at?
just to see theyre all in a nice neat line, two one two, none bent up/down. it happens a lot.
other than a 51 radio (or 2.04.50 and 2.05.50 radios), battery pins or a discharged battery are the only reason i can think that would cause complete dead phone.
hm, I think I'm on to something here. When i plug my phone into my computer, it installs a driver. I forgot what its called, but that's all it installs. I cant access the phones files, but i thought i would let you know, maybe it could help me in the long run.
qualcomm? yea, the radio bricks show up as a qualcomm device.
try leaving the battery out for a while, (half hour) then plug in usb (wall charger, not pc) and then put the battery back in. this will stop the phone trying to run on like it normally does when you apply power when the battery is in (thus draining even the dregs of power, possibly affecting the charge circuits ability to start charging, , not very common, but not unheard of either), and with a bit of luck the charge light will appear and all will be well.
gotta go, 3am
good luck.
Thank you so much man,I'll try... ill get back to you about it tomorrow.
Erggg, nope, it didnt work =( Thanks for your time, and thank you for trying to help.
how old is it?
is it warm on the back bottom part of the phone?
Put it in the fridge for 15mins, then try to boot up.
Also see if you can try and put your battery in some one elses HD2 or charge your battery in their phone.
Its pretty hard to kill your HD2.
(i just dropped my HD2 in for a service/repair as my motherboard/cpu was overheating.- had to flash stock rom and spl back though)
I got it two weeks ago Its not warm, but ill try it in the fridge...... and I just did that a couple hours ago, we switched battery's and still no luck.
Refrigerator did not work either =/
can u do a hard reset with the volume up buttons and the power key? reformating the device to default?
Pull out ur battery, press and hold the soft reset button, hile holding down the soft reste button place ur battery back in. While still holding down the soft reset button pres and hold the volume down + the on/off swith and see if it will boot. U might need a friend to help u with holding down al the buttons. It worked for me...
Read ALL the earlier replies. Mine seems "cracked": battery won't charge in phone, via USB cables (2 cables, 2 batteries - one new & fully charged, two USB power souurces, including a car's 12v DC source).
Did all the above hard & soft resets, etc. Nothing works. Phoned HTC AUSTRALIA - MUST send it hundreds of miles (or kms) away to the original Telstra dealer, since HTC does not allow any other type of warranty claim in Australia.
On the phone's pins that contact the battery - they are flexible: up, down, in & out. Being "in-line" does not mean they work.
Not sure why the hardware crashed. Have not upgrade ROM or Android. Won't recharge the battery in-phone with SIM, micro-SD in nor out of the phone.
Wanting for a separate external battery charger (only a few $$) from eBay. Might take the phone to a dealer, and see if they can get it to recharge the battery via the USB cable.

Hi,I have a Android gingerbread 2.3,haspl v.3,MAGLDR113,it's second time my htc block and dont want to restart from the buton,i have remove the battery and it dosnt want to turn on ,there is no screen,the battery was charget,but the red light don't light when i plug the cabel,in my PC dont recognise usb,nothing and the phone,i try for 1 day to remove a battery,but no result,1st time when it happens it work,but for a week i can't use it,Sorry For my English,Some ideas what can i do before i took it back in the store
sounds like it could be a simple flat battery. when magldr is installed you cannot charge the phone unless android is running, so when it is off it does not charge.
if you can try another battery, or your battery in a winmo hd2, that will tell you if its teh battery.
If you have a spare usb cable (any type, doesnt have to be a hd2 micro usb cable) cut end off, bare red and black, hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for about a minute, which should give it enough power to charge.
Also check very carefully that you dont have a bent battery pin from all teh battery in/out. they bend easily.
i hava a Bat charger and charge the bat all night,and the morning it show me that bat is charget,put it on the phone,but nothing ... cant turn on
Maybe battery is dead. Do you own a volt meter an can check the voltage provided by the battery? It shoud show up about 4 volt.

i took the bat to my friend with devace to check the battery,and everything is OK,but the phone didn't turn on,Can i reinstal the Android ?and how can i do it
Is there a program that can connect to the phone and erase everything
To wipe the phone install the HD2 toolkit, you can download it here.
It includes every tool needed for maintaining your HD2.
Be sure to install the drivers!
Start the program and press the Task29 button, follow the instructions provided. When it's finished your HD2 will be fully wiped, so you would need to reinstall everything.
Do so by doing a MAGLDR repartition. After that choose MAGLDR update recovery to flash the Clockworkmod recovery.
Then go into the Clockworkmod recovery and flash your rom.
Now your HD2 should be fully wiped
BUT! If your PC doesn't even recognize your HD2, and you can't even get to the bootloader screen by pressing and holding both volume down and the "end call" button. Then it's probably a hardware failure.

Magldr repartition flashes cwm so no need for the update recovery step. That's for, well the clue is in the name,,, updating the cwm version on an already partitioned instal.
Okay, thanks for clarifying that!
Didn't know it worked like that, I only use CLK.

htc hd2 1024 mb with Android gingerbread 2.3,haspl v.3,MAGLDR113
Sd card 2 GB (class 3)
while I play games and watching youyube via wifi connection my charge cable was plugged in the phone,in about a 2,3 hours it freeze,i wait 1,2 minutes and after i try to power off the phone I remove the battery and pul back again and in this moment the phone never turn on.That is maybe everything I know if someone knows or give me a idea what to do,please tell me
I've seen this and similar a few times, when left on charge overnight, and upon waking the phone is totally gone. I've woken up to a fully hard reset phone myself, once, not dead but something weird happened.
Electrical surge, perhaps? Overheated circuits? Who knows.
Somehow the phone start,I have put on my router,and plug in USB all night,in the morning i remove a battery,remove a SDcard put back batery,plug usb and it go,I replace infromation from the card with onother sdcard,flash the phone. 10x for the help,maybe now everything is ok

I've same problem after similar conditions.
Mine is 512Mb HD2 running Andorid on SD
- while using in extreme conditions: very low network signal, hot ambience temperature, using GPS and downloading data throug 3G
- the screen freeze on image and not respond on touch neiter button
-after 2-3 minutes phone temperature became very hot and screen again on freeze
- removed battery (for power off button not responding)
- insert battery
- no power up, no green LED with AV adaptet, no USB recognized
I'll trying to charge battery but i don't have a table battery chager.
Could you please repeat me what you did, since I didn't get the first part, what did you put on your router (what kind of router please)?
I've tried using my phone with another HD2 phone's battery which is working (and which also started with my own battery?!) but my own phone wouldn't start at all with the other battery...
The battery wasn't fully charged, but did it have to be, if so how long should I charge the battery with the cut USB cable for it to be charged enough please?!
TIA
P.S. I've tried a voltmeter on my battery and it said 4.14V (should it be 4V exactly?) and should I even try the cut USB charge trick again (since I've tried another phone's working battery)?

Ok if I understand you correctly you have tried your battery in a working HD2 and it worked. Then you tried the battery from the working HD2 in your device but your device still did not boot up. If this is correct I do not feel your battery is the problem, but still check the battery pins on your device to make sure none of them are not slightly bent and not making contact properly.
Also if you can provide more info on what you may have done to cause this or what happened when your device reached the state it is currently in. This info can help others and me help you better.
I have a similar problem.
The phone won't start, it gets to the white htc screen sometimes but quits within a fraction of a second.
This has been so since the first Android boot hung (I suspect I have not followed the steps accurately enough...). I have charged, decharged and recharged the battery using the suggested USB-cable technique, but this was of no aid so far, so it's not the battery. Pins and all's fine.
It's someone else's phone, too, so it would be rather unfortunate if I bricked it.
Are there any other common reasons for this behavior? Most tutorials rely on a PC connection, but as it does not recognize such a thing, that's a bit of a problem.
Finally the same problem here.
Battery status was about 70% and running smoothly (WinMO Custom Rom) since installed.Unlocked the Screen and tried to start programs.
The Icons were lightened up but nothing happened.Tried to softrestart...Nothing happened.
Removed and reinserted the Battery.
=> Not turning on.
-another fully charged Battery => nothing
-charging on Charger => nothing not even charging light
-plugged into (running) pc => nothing not even charging light
-5 hours in the fridge => nothing
-charging over night => nothing
Any hints ?
Thx for the goot work around here and greets from Germany !
Sebastian
PS If anyone got one to offer => contact me. Dont like those situations
Bad news!
Seems like your MB is gone...:crying:
Maybe one chance left for a JTAG attempt to a local service shop...
thats what i was afraid of
at least it happend only one hour after i made a backup
thx for the reply !
Hello, i bought an used HTC HD2.
It was all stock, so i put HSPL, then MAGLDR and WP7, and everything seemed to work well.
It happened then that the phone did some vibrations (4 or 5), then it shut off and i couldn't turn it on again.
I tried putting the battery out, trying pressing the power button without battery to discharge capacitors, and eventually i got it booting again.
Worked fine until yersterday, when it did the same strange vibrations, and then i could not manage to turn it on. I've tried everything, i put it on the fridge and nothing, on the freezer for a while D) and it started, but not enough time (i just need the time to do a flash from the SD, then i can send it back in warranty).
Any idea? Now even with the freezer method it's not starting at all...
I had an HD2 before and never had any problem, so i'm pretty sure it's an hardware fault, right?
With "doesn't boot", i really mean it doesn't start at all, i couldn't even get into bootloader.

Most likely your motherboard is faulty, you should go for warranty(if still possible)!
Probably it's so...
I should bring it to the warranty, but if sometimes it works, they can see that it has HSPL.
Its possible? At least i wanted to start it and flash the original NBH

You should try again the freezer trick, but keep it a little longer inside, maybe you'll be lucky one time...

One little push on THANKS button wouldn't harm anyone, isn't it?
lol you're right
the problem could also be getting compounded by a discharged battery, which isnt letting it start long enough to flash even when you freezer it.
If you know anyone with an hd2, try your battery in theirs to see if it has any charge, if not (or if you cant get a 2nd hd2) take an old usb cable (mini, micro, doesnt matter) cut the small end off, bare red and black, and hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for a few minutes. (while the phone is in eth freezer, perhaps) and see if it lets it start for longer.
If this helps, do the bare wires trick for say, 10 mins, and have leoimg.nbh ready to go on the sd card, and immediately start the flash.
Dont forget the flash doesn't need to finish, the spl is altered first, so within 10/15 seconds of the flash starting, hspl is gone and warranty restored.

At the battery poles there are 3.88V so the battery should not be empty, right?
According to my physics knowledge, battery could still not hold enough charge for a boot even though it shows some voltage.
yea, a battery would still show a potential difference even when its low enough not to start the phone, however 3.6v does seem a bit high.
Bent battery contact perhaps?
Hi, I have a problem with my HTC Leo. I have been succesfully using NAND Android (PacMan HD2) for over a year and now it suddenly crashed. When I try to boot it, it vibrates once on HTC screen (a white one) and than changes to aMAGLDR screen and vibrates 7 times. It does not show the menu, only labels at the top of the screen (aMAGLDR V1.13, build date and author).
Is there any possibility to fix it? The most important thing for me is not to lose my data, specially messages...
install magldr again. I did it, didn't erased anything. but try with your own risk.
sorry for my funny English
Thanks for advice, but... it won't be so easy any longer Yesterday when the phone was stuck on aMAGLDR screen I was trying to put it into bootloader (holding volume down and pushing reset button) to give you some more info about my HD2 and it has turnd off and never on again!;( Now it's not even possible to turn it on, it does not 'recognize' a charger (green LED not 'turning on' when I plug in a charger)... Do you think my Leo is now only a crap of sheet?:/

Whoa- there, slow down, buddy! You don't even know what's wrong with the device, you can't just "advise" him to JTAG his device!?
As shanman said, check the battery pins, one or all were likely bent during a battery pull or something. If that's the case, it's not serious and does not require a jtag to fix. Simply straighten the pins and your device should start working again (If the battery still has charge).
If that didn't work, try another battery, or recharge the battery externally.

Battery pins look pretty nice, I also checked the phone with second battery... But the point is that it does not even react for plugging a charger (I heard that HD2 boots up when you plug the cable and then pull the battery in). And what more the phone had crashed while I was trying to put it into bootloader, without pulling the battery out...
Hi,
So i Had this Htc HD2 . I got it as a gift from USA. I've used it like 2/3 month. I installed MIUI rom on this device. And then i hot another phone and didn't used that phone anymore. But today i found this phone and i tried to turn it on. Then I saw that the phone isnt turning on. It just stays black and just vibrates. I dont know what is wrong with this. I live in Bangladesh. We dont have any HTC customer service stores here. So i need help with this. If anyone can Help please let me know. and by the way its TMOUS HD2.
Check battery pins are contacting correctly.
Check battery voltage - lower than 3.2V try charging the battery externally & not in the HD2, if you do not have an external charger you can use a USB cable & cut mini/micro usb plug off then touch the red+ & black- wires to + - battery terminals for about 1 minute or bit longer if battery completely flat then put it back in HD2 & see if can boot.

Are you sure it's not just out of battery? If it had NAND Android installed on it via MAGLDR and you didn't bother turning it off then it could have just run out of charge. Since you can't charge the phone when it's off in MAGLDR, you'll have to cut open a USB cable which hopefully @samsamuel will come along and tell you about since I always forget what has to be connected where.
If you know it isn't the battery, then can you boot into the bootloader (hold vol down + power)? If you can get to that then you can try flashing a WinMo stock ROM to confirm it isn't some sort of hardware issue.

I wasnt sure if it was battery or not. And then i recharged the battery with a external charger and tried to turn it on. But no luck. it stays just the same. and i cant even get into boot loader (tri color screen). NO nothing. it just vibrates.
