I have the MAGLDR 3.7.0 (stable) installed. I installed about 4 months or so ago, which you helped me with.
I haven't used it much at all, only for calling and sms-typing so to say. Well, it works pretty well for that. Unfortunately, I experience alot of problems.
1. I accidently put away the menu (3 buttons) away, and had to turn off and on, so I just rebooted and it got stuck. In the boot-menu, I got "Fatal fail" in red. This was when I had been surfing through the internet for only 30 minutes or so. The phone get's very hot (beneath the battery) and starts freezing and yeah.
Also, I downloaded a game, after 20 minutes it got heated a little bit and froze. Took out battery, power on and it says GO GO GO, but it is stuck. You'll have to wait probably 10-15 min so the phone cools down, for then give it a try and you can get it on. Little freaky, to be honest - at least first time when it happend!
Also when I went into internet, it froze.
What can be the problem? I mean, it works just fine for calls and sms-typing, but for internet and apps and so on, I experience so much trouble it's annoying.
Can you please help me? Have you experienced these problems? Thanks ALOT for all inputs and suggestions you can give me!
---
Also, now after I surfed a little (10 min) plus started Angry Birds after 5 min, it freezed.
Now after pulling in and out battery several times, I can't get it on. I waited 5 min, got it on, but got stuck at the main menu after inserting SIM-code.
What should I do? Really frustrating and annoying!! PLEASE HELP!!!!
What I would try is to first make a back up. Then download a different ROM. Repartition your phone with the correct
amount the new ROM needs to work properly. Then reinstall MAGLDR. Our phone should be MAGLDR V1.13, if its
3.7.0 as you say that may be your issue right there. After you reinstall MAGLDR install CWM & then finally the new
ROM. See if this helps out with the problems your having.
Its a long shot but there's not much (it seems) you can do with your phone now. My phone gets hot while playing
some games and this is a known issue but it shouldn't be freezing up so much and as often as yours has been.
HD2's are know to overheat. The test is if they work in the fridge (sealed in a plastic bag, zip bag - take care that it does not get damaged by condensation)
If it works in the fridge the bad news is it's typically problem with the solder joints (bga balls) of the motherboard
Some get to the point of not booting past the first flash screen
It can be fixed by a good workshop with the right gear
See this thread - don't bother trying the heat sink idea of the first few pages as even the author says it does not work

HI
wonder if anyone can help me.
Ive had a few problems with my phone ever since i stared to change the roms on it. Something i have just put up with as it goes with the flow. Anyway just recently my phone is really being a pain no matter what rom i have installed . It just turns off or freezes and has also now started to play silly games like all of a sudden everything starts opening on the phone, and sometimes the screen dimms to black then goes off and wont turn on unless i leave the battery out for a good five mins. anybody got any ideas about this all help would be welcomed.
JUst updated the Radio rom to the lastest one i could find on here seems to have helped a bit.
Andy
Have you disassembled it or got it wet? One of the hardware buttons may be stuck. Are they all working?
No all the buttons work ok mate. this evening ive tried a different rom and it seems to be ok ill run it for a few days see if it improves or goes back to being a pain.
I was wondering if it could be the battery its about 12 months old now (due an upgrade an dthinking of the diamond), Phone normally gets fully charged every couple of days.
OK it is my first post correct if im in the wrong section, and this is a tad long...
SO, it turns out that it did a softreset via the soft-softreset button/app and I left it in my bag just as usual to let the phone do the boot work itself.
But this time, I forgot to check out my phone if it has done the booting but went strate to work on something important and left my phone in my bag.
3 hours later, I sorta finished my work and just went to check out my phone and found it was stuck at the end of the boot animation/unable to load splash, and started to heat up to some extreme heat which is about 50 degrees Celcius.
So can anyone kindly explain to me why this is happening?
and also anything think this is gonna harm my lovely HD2?
Info:
duttys HG v1.7
radio 2.08.50.08_2
i think it is bout my 4th softreset since i flashed this ROM
bump...
i will take this as a 'no' then
I would take the battery out for a while, let the phone sit with no power for half an hour, reinsert the battery and do a hard reset. (dont let it boot, go straight to hard reset)
This time watch it instal, see what happens and report back.
um........ kk ill give it a try tmw
its tad late at night now and ive booted it already with my second battery
thx for the reply anyway ill report once ive done
(flash-back: did i do a h-reset when i finish flashing??)
Ok, so here's the full story;
I dropped my phone a month or so back, and the LCD broke, so I bought a new LCD/digitizer on eBay. I've replaced screens on heaps of phones/cameras before, and this wasn't that challenging (HTC actually provide a video tutorial on disassembly/assembly), but now that it's all back together it has some serious problems.
The first time I turned it on it was fine - I went through WM6.5, booted into android no probs, made a call and turned WiFi on to test connections, but after about 15 mins it froze and I had to pull the battery. Now I cannot turn it on. most of the time, I turn it on and it brings up the very first splash screen for the ChuckyDroid ROM I have on it, but stays there. Occasionally it will load further, and VERY occasionally it will get all the way into WM6.5, but 90% of the time, it will turn on, load the first splash screen, then vibrate 7 times before freezing completely.
I've read about this problem on other phones, but haven't seen anyone provide a working solution. I am positive that all the assembly has been done correctly (especially seeing as people are getting it on their stock phones, HD2 included), and would really like any help.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
I think the motherboard has problem when you drop it. The device will vibrate 7 times if NAND error. Usually when the device gets hotter or warmer, NAND become unreadable. This is the error that many users have even myself.
To temporarily solve this, you can take out the battery, and put your phone in the freezer for 5 minutes, then take it out. Put the battery on. Then turn the phone on. It will work normally if the bottom part stay cold. So make sure you have a bag of ice to cool the bottom down while using.
Another way is send the phone to HTC and request a fix... cause this is motherboard problem.

reflashing the rom may be a good idea.
Switching to a newer ROM is also a good idea since this one has patches etc from january
And you hd2 protects itself by shutting down if it gets too hot.
Thanks guys, but hard reset is not the option so?
And where i am now, its not hot. So it wont get overheaten now, so that weird.

hard reset=fresh install from scratch (in hd2 android you dont have a winmo 6.5style hard reset)
it could be the pins that connect to the battery, make sure none are bent, happened to me a couple of days ago.
as post above, , easily more than half the time this problem gets posted it turns out to be bent battery pins, or an almost flat battery.
Though temperature has been ruled out, it wouldn't hurt to try cooling the phone down to see if it has an effect. Put the phone in the fridge for 10-15 min (no longer to avoid condensation) then start it up. If it starts up completely then that might be an indication of a thermal issue. It happened with another HD2 I had and the only way it'll get past the boot screen is if it is cold. I'm very cautious with my recent one to not leave it in the car (in the Los Angeles summer heat) to avoid repeating this problem.
Otherwise, like many have said before, try reflashing your current ROM or try another one.
Just my two cents. Peace.
I was listening to an audiobook when my phone suddenly died. It would not start back up, so I removed the battery. When I replaced the battery, the samsung logo would pop up but after about a second it would go black again. It will not start again until I remove/replace the battery, at which point it does the one second shutdown again.
At one point I got the phone to boot (no idea what I did differently) and I noticed that it got very hot around the camera area before going black again. A second time I was able to get into recovery, where I did a factory reset. Booted back up and it seemed to be okay, but then heated up very quickly and shut down.
Now, even if the phone is totally cool, I cant get past that 1 second of samsung logo. I'm really at a loss here, and totally screwed without my phone because I am traveling non-stop for the next 2 weeks. Does anyone know how I might try to troubleshoot this? Thanks
Possibly flash a new ROM and start over. That's what I would do
This EXACT situation happened to me yesterday! I was streaming from Google music, it was on the charger and things were fine. A call came in and the phone started vibrating like crazy and wouldn't stop. The screen went black and it kept vibrating. Finally it went off. On boot it will get to my lock screen and then crash after about 30 seconds. If I take the battery out and try again it lasts another few seconds after boot. If I leave it for a LONG time with the battery out and restart it I can get like 2 mins on the next boot without it crashing. The top part by the camera is getting hot on my phone as well. Recovery mode and download mode start fine and the phone doesn't crash. I have some data on the internal that I want to save so I tried to use Odin to flash the most recent build L720VPUFNG2 as that would just install the OS and not touch the data. On the next reboot things seemed to be working fine and I got maybe 5 mins out of the phone before it crashed again. I still don't have enough time to get the data off so I think I'm just going to say screw it and wipe it completely. You guys know of a way I can backup this app data using Odin or recovery mode? My phone is currently unrooted. I'm new to all this tinkering stuff. Phone is out of warranty now anyway.
Threw on a custom recovery, backed up all my data, did a full wipe, now I am good as new.
It worked for awhile but now it is back to rebooting itself. Any idea what could be the issue? I'm assuming at this point it is hardware related. Why can recovery and download mode run consistently without crashing but when an os is fired up it has issues? If it was a hardware issue shouldn't it not work across the board?
So I had Sprint replace my phone on the 8th. I have been using my same batteries (1 stock 1 Anker) and chargers (some stock some not) without issue the past 5 days. I rooted and installed xposed and some modules (original broken phone was never rooted and was completely stock). Things were going great until tonight when it started reboot looping exactly like the old phone. I switched battery and same proble. After I took the battery out and left it out awhile it fired back up but I'm afraid the problem will return. Is it possible that the battery or charger randomly are causing damage to the phone? I only have 14 day warranty on this replacement and need to figure this out.
I have no idea maybe try just using your stock battery for a couple days. See how that goes then use your other battery for a couple days and see what happens.

I think it was one of the xposed modules causing the issue. I realized the rebooting seemed to happen whenever I pressed the power button. I had installed a power menu module so perhaps it was the cause. I restored from a nandroid and uninstalled that module and things seem to be working now. Hopefully that was the cause and this thing won't start acting up again after the return period.

That makes a lot of sense. Have to be careful with those Xposed modules. Don't get too carried away installing so many at one time and playing with them and then rebooting. You'll have a hard time figuring out which one is causing it. I'm pretty sure you found your problem.

That is exactly what I did I installed like 6 at once and things were working well for a few hours then disaster stuck. I think I won't play with this phone anymore as I am upgrading anyway and want to sell it in working order.
So things were going well for awhile and then the reboot loops started up again. I did some digging and read that apparently Samsung phones are notorious for sticking power buttons and the symptoms were exactly what I was experiencing. I watched some videos online how to open the phone and clean out the power button but it didn't make a difference. I then read that squeezing the connector for the power button with a pair of pliers sometimes does the trick. Not for me. So finally since I'm not under warranty, have no insurance, and the phone wasn't working anyway, I just ripped the white plastic part of the power button right off. Well, that seemed to do the trick. Phone immediately fired back up without issue and has been going strong. I glued a small thin piece of plastic where the old one used to be and I am back in action. If my little plastic piece solution eventually fails or breaks off I will consider soldering on a new button but so far so good.
If you have tried everything else, and are looking for last resort, try cleaning the power button with some alcohol, and if that fails, rip off that power button! Here is the video that gave me the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs and here are some other power button videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=s4%20power%20button&search_type=&aq=f&oq=
