[Q] Powerbutton doesn't make it boot - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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

touch2 hang on 3 color boot mode :(

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!

[Q] HD2 only powers up via USB? Just reinstalled new digitzer

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.

Trying to operate MAGLDR / change boot order without hardkeys

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.

[Q] My HD2 won´t turn... off!!!

Hi folks, that´s a strange one...
After a short 30 min car trip, the battery was almost drained out (and the screen was lit)... but I was sure it was indicating almost 50% when I got into the car!
Then... when I tried to turn it off (I mean standy by mode - the last hard button to the right), the screen blanked out and... came back on again! Tried it a dozen times and the same weird thing happened. Took the battery off and on again... nothing´s changed.
When I plugged it to recharge, the screen still refused to keep off. But... when I unplugged the USB cable, everything got back to normal condition. Tried to plug it again to continue recharging... and the problem came up again...
What could possibly be happening? Thanks for any info on the subject.
Regards!

Sometimes, by time, the End button "Awaken/sleep" button may become stuck.
Try to push it and release slowly (wth? that won't work, I know, but I'm trying to get you all the available solution before making you disassemble the device)
Try to hold the button with your fingernails and pull it, see if the problem is resolved.
(Either way, you will end up fixing it permanently )
Or just try sucking it out/back into original position
Sounds stupid but worked for a friend of mine.
Hi guys, thank you for your replies, I´ll add a few coments here...

I´ve already tried that (because I also thought it was stuck), but nothing has changed. Also, the problem ocurred only while it was recharging... after I disconnected, the problem disapeared [check update below]... so it wasn´t some "button-dependent" behavior.

Sorry mate, but I couldn´t understand what do you mean by "suck it out/back"... is it something like the fingernail procedure from the quote above?
[updated]
Ok, after a while it started to keep the screen on (actually it awakes in less than a second after I press the end button) even after I unplug the USB cable.
What I did next was to shake a little bit the USB connection while it was plugged, and the problem disapeared again - but only while the cable is disconnected.
It looks like a USB connection problem. I´ll try to clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and get back to you with results.
Thanks again!
It happened to me a couple of times that touchscreen behaved weird (acting independent of my actions) while phone was on charging, but I concluded it was a cheap wall-charger that determined that behaviour (also USB related)?!
Maybe I was wrong, I didn't insist...

[Q] Problem with USB port

Hey all
My Defy (MB525) has suddenly stopped charging, neither does it notice when its connected to the PC
However, when I power off the phone and then plug in the cable it notices, a little white light comes on and the phone powers up.
So the USB port must work, at least a little bit.
some facts till now..
:good:I use cyanogenmod 10 2ndboot for more than 6 months, thats not something new....
So.. What have I tried so far
- I tried several different USB cables
- I tried connect it to more than one computer
- I tried connect it to my car charger
- I've change my rom from cm10 to cm 10.1 and even cm10.2, at the end i got back the cm10- 2ndboot
(after all, 10 is the best rom for MB525)
I''ve done it as it should be done, I wiped data/factory reset, I wiped cach and I wipe dalvik..:angel:
- I even opened the phone to see if the usb connector is connected to the board, seems fine to me but i don't really know anything about electricity and stuff..
what more can I do? it must work somehow, other ways there wasn't a white led when concting the device to usb while it off and
one more thing is the fact that it turning back on.
The last thing when i get into the bootloader it recognaized the cable
"ok to program
transfer mode usb"
is there anything that I can try inside CWM Recovery 5.0.3.1 or Team Win rocovery boot menu ?
the only thing I havent done yet is to wipe it all complitly and install Froyo (Android 2.2 rom) from the start.
any suggestions?
Shani
Seems like I challenged all of you
I've been challenged myself to :laugh:
Any way, my HTC ONE develoer eddition (64GB) shuld be here in less than two weeks so I don't realy care about the defy....
I just wanted to solve the case.. that's the kind of person that I am
Seems like a hardware failure, maybe the pins are loose. You can try usb mount from twrp, but based on your observations i dont think that would work. Congrats on your new phone btw
