HD2 bricked after battery removal?? - HD2 General

I was running Android ICS for a while, and all went great. My brother used the phone and it had some trouble, so I needed to reinstall. I rebooted, tried to get to recovery, failed to push the buttons on time, and it went on booting normally. I then removed the battery to restart faster again. I putted the battery back in, and the phone wouldn't react anymore, no power on, no charging, no nothing.
It worked great, but is it bricked now?? Is there anything I can do?

Turns out that there was something wrong with the battery connectors. Fiddling around with them suddenly made it poweron again.

they bend very easily, it happens a lot, and the first response to 'suddenly wont power on' is always check the battery pins.

my phone did not power on before because the bad pin too.

This happened to me once and i thought i bricked my phone. Turns out you need to make sure the metal connectors on the phone are tucked in and touching the metal pads on the battery.

Dead Phone

Hi all,
My phone is completely dead. My phone ran down to about 5% battery last nite so I plugged it in to charge and thought nothing of it. When I got up this morning however the phone had not charged for some reason and the phone was totally dead. No lights were on and nothing happened when I tried a soft reset or the power button. I left it all day and then pressed the four buttons to do a hard reset and the screen came up saying to press the reset button to continue or any other button to carry on. I pressed one of the front buttons and the phone started to boot but then faded away to nothing before I could plug it in.
Now, nothing happens at all when I press the four buttons...Also the litle slide button to open the battery cover doesn't seem to work and the cover won't come off.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the USB connector screwed, which would explain why it didn't charge?
I haven't done anything unusual with the phone recently or installed anything new...
Can anyone suggest anything?
sounds like your battery exploded....make every effort to remove it and insert a new one. my battery also began to swell somehow but i was able to remove it before it damaged the device...
Hope you get it fixed soon...
lol thanks! Just need to get the battery remove slider button working I guess...

HELP Today my phone ran out of batterys

Now when I plug it into the charger, it just goes to the Core Cell splash screen, for like a split second then turns off, then does it repeatedly... I donnu, how to charge my phone, I donnu what to do, please help.
like i ttly hope someone can halp...i donnu wut it iz.
i wuz in yor phonez checking ur batterys, and it looked mkay to meh.
lol.
I don't know WTF is going on here... My phone is like constantly just reloading the same thing, every 4 seconds, it just loads the Splash screen for less than a second, turns off, then does it again, this is while it's plugged into the charger, when it's taken off the charger, nothing happens, I can't ever turn the phone on...
You've obviously got a bad phone.....take it in to your local store T-mobile and have them look at it.
Have you tried plugging your phone into the computer to try syncing/charging it that way, or just into the wall?
I tried the computer, that takes longer to get the splash screen to come up, & there is no T-mobile in Australia, plus I don't have a stock rom, and HSPL.
Try taking your battery out and making sure that none of the pins that make contact with the battery are bent or broken. It is easy to bend the pins and it can prevent charging of the battery.
Another option may be to hold the volume down button during this startup loop and see if you can get into the bootloader. It should charge in the bootloader and it may stop the looping. After charging for a while just restart and all should be well.
I have also had this and other strange things happen when the battery is depleted or very low. I try to not get below 10% anymore just in case.

I fixed the issue last night, I chucked my Battery into the Freezer, for like... more than 8 hours, woke up, and plugged my phone back together, and it charged, without booting up and restart
So all good
Obviously, your battery was terrified by what happenned to the chicken and the turkey in your freezer and decided to behave!
I really don't think it's a good idea to put a freezing cold battery into a warm handset.....that's a recipe for condensation and rust and/or water damage.

No power after falshing? (no it's not hung at the logo screen)

Alright so I flashed a new update from recovery and went to restart to system and the phone just shut off and now won't power on at all. doesn't show the logo screen doesn't light anything up. its currently powered down plugged in and I don't even have the charging screen. did I brick it? is this recoverable? I tried battery pull twice two different chargers sd card no sd card everything I can think of. no water damage at all. seems really strange that it would just shut off and be unresponsive after that. it's only a month old kept in good care.
Edit: I managed to get it to have the charging symbol when I pluged it in tried to turn it on and right back to where i started without the charging symbol
that happened to me with my first intercept, the froyo update didn't complete and the phone shut down and never came back on, i thought it was a dead battery, but the charge was full, it was like the power buttons lost their mapping. vm told me to take it back to the place i bought it from and they replaced it, vm takes a couple days and if you got the protection plan they will porbably send you a replacement

[q] totally bricked lg g2

IT ALL STARTED when my wife dropped phone and cracked the screen slightly and touch in some areas stopped worked.
Me being a technical person, went ahead and bought an lg g2 lcd+digitizer replacement off ebay and made sure it was OEM and had the LG logo on it. The phone is an ATT phone by the way and made sure it was for D800.
The part arrived and I went on my merrily way to replace it VERY CAREFULLY. The screen fit in perfectly and I reassembled everything carefully, connector by connector screw by screw.
When the time came to turn it on, it actually turned on and booted normally and the screen worked, the touch worked (altough some letters on the keyboard were douple/triple tapping,etc.) I ignored that and ran into a problem where when being on a call, the screen turns black as normal, but won't turn back on at all until a hard reboot is done. I went out and researched that this was the proximity sensor malfunctioning and that the replacement screens do not come with some sort of grommet that holds it close to the screen and blocks peripheral light. Well, I was annoyed, and went ahead and opened it again to see If I can remedy the proximity problem.
After some adjustments by the proximity and reassembling the phone, it booted up. I saw the LG logo, followed by the ATT startup chime and then, poof. All dark!! So what follows is a succession of fail after fail to try to get it back up and running:
-reopened phone, reseated connectors, nothing, same problem
-reopened phone, found that i hadn't routed the antenna wire correctly and that it had some metal part in between the wire that may need to be making contact with the metal on the frame. Still nothing, same problem.
-a bunch of hard resets, same problem.
-Try to go into restore mode, clicked yes on restore. Even worse after restore all I get to is the lg logo.
-As a last resort, went into download mode by plugging in USB to computer and phone, holding UP vol button. It went into 'download mode' and I went ahead and followed instructions on restoring the factory firmware flash. The process was 15 percent complete when it died, shut off.
-tried the flash process one more time and it went to 22 percent and died.
-knowing it's a hardware thing, I reopened phone and triple checked everything again. After reassembly, phone is TOTAL BRICK. No power, no LG logo, with usb charger and power outlet charger. No restore mode, no download mode, NOTHING NOTHING. Last known battery level was 13 percent when I was doing firmware flash attempt.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG. Any experts know what I can check at all?
I managed to revive the power some how by disconnecting battery ribbon cable and holding power button to drain residual charge followed by reconnecting battery cable and plugging in charger.
I started the firmware flash and it failed at 8 percent because phone shut off. I swear to god..
nevermind. After the last post it wouldn't start again, disassembled, and basically found that the lcd ribbon cable connector pins were jammed beyond use. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the problem though in the first few times I opened it because screen worked fine. I disassembled more and found that the super glue I used totally burned into a small portion of the frame where the back of the lcd sits on as if it were some kind of acid or something. These may have been the culprits but I still think there was something else going on. If it hadn't been for that piece of **** proximity sensor this wouldn't have happen. The phone is a total loss and threw it in the trash. Done, RIP.

BATTERY (?) Help

Hi Guys, so I flashed Resurrection Remix and it was working fine. Few days later, I woke up to my phone continuously vibrating. Upon checking I saw that it was vibrating because it was doing a boot loop. Unfortunately my PC was broken at the time too, tough week.
Anyway, I let it do it's thing until it runs out of power. It never did. Seriously I waited for a day. When I slept, it had 20% battery (not charging). So I thought maybe, the power button is acting up again which has happened many many times before.
So I opened up my phone and adjusted the power button. Even, holding the volume up while plugging in didnt work anymore.
While I was there I saw the battery connector thingy, I unplugged it and re plugged it real quick without breaking anything. And It restarted and the device worked fine.
But.... The battery icon is steadily at 50% for a min then drops to 0% even while connected to charger. So, I charged it for a few minutes but it doesn't move.
I was about to do a factory reset but it shut down. The battery icon doesn't appear, only the red blinking led light. I tried charging it like that overnight to no avail.
I then tried to remove the battery connector again and as soon as I plug it, the screen turns on then off again. Sometimes it gets to the battery charging icon before it shuts down. If I bend the connector downwards it sometimes turns the screen on and sometimes doesnt.
I took it to repair shops and they said that the problem is the battery and ofc to no suprise, they dont have a replacement.
Do you guys have any idea what happened? Was it a button issue, software issue or indeed battery issue. Before all this happened, the device was working perfectly.
Please help. I miss my phone already.
I think it due socket of battery, can you open the back cover and plugout and plugin this socket, will be OK
