hd2 with volume key broken...how to install wp7 with magldr - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

hi guys,
I would like to install wp7 on my hd2, unfortunatly the volume keys are broken (the phone falled down some months ago), so evenif I can try to install magdlr than I couldn't move down to step 5 to flash Wp7
Any idea? is there a way to make the phone start magdlr already with the option 5 selected and run?
Thank you very much for your help.

Pool guy, that seems have no way except you try to fix the volume keys!

You install cwm touch recovery so you don't need the volume buttons if you ever want to install android. goo.gl/0yPBR

naaa I can't believe there is not option to make MGLDR start directly simulating the pressing of an option! ... Unfortunatly I can't fix the button as already changed the display when the phone fallen down ...and when I re-assembled unfortuntly I missed the 2 pin that make contact to the board for the volume ...But I don't understand why I can update the 6.5 version just using the ruupdate and can't update with wp7 with the same method

it's called a different installation process...they are 2 different os! plus, with wp7 you need magdlr and set the last24nand and clearmbr. you don't use magdlr to install wm6.5.
how can you be missing the 2 contact pins? they are part of the board. you must mean the plastic volume rocker. just reinstall the rocker or use a pin to make contact with the required volume contact.

You can do it ... I have similar problem ...
I have working only volume up button, power up , and windows key
So if volume pass connected to phone than -> remove the plastic -> take screwdriver -> the volume up button you can find the pin in the center -> go till one side up from usb flasher -> then on the side down you have another three pins -> touch the first simeosly with second (central) pin -> it will start the flash usb
Atherwise contact with cottula
sorry for my ugly language ...

uhm probably you have never opened your hd2 (lucky you!!) ...it's not so easy...the volume key is a little bar linked to the mainboard of the phone. In this bar you have 2 electrict contact for vol up and down. on these contact they attached something like 2 little green bubble that when you click on the plastic it press on the bubble and the bubble press on the contact..now i have missed the green bubble
I realized too much later that the two little bubble that I found around aren't something "unusefull" but something EXTREMALY usefull!!
Ok, now I should re-open the phone, and try to make contact with the phone open and it's not so easy...it would be more easy if magdlr could start automaticly in the flash mode.
thank you anyway.

Volume rocker not working(i really need it for Magldr)

Hi,Ive got quite a unique problem here. About two weeks ago,my HD2 spent a good 10mins in the washing machine.Fortunately, everything is working as good as before.Except for the mic and the 'down' volume function. The actual rocker is good,its the hardware that is broken. I cannot find the replacement part for the volume rocker module,nor can i find a mic replacement part.However, I have been living with this problem for a week now,and its not a big deal really.I have been controlling the volume using the settings and ive been using the headset for calls.Now though,i updated my android build, so i had to select the boot source using MAGLDR.And i cannot scroll down!...so im stuck with WP7 as for now.Hence,i just want to ask if anyone knows if there is an alternative way to select the AD SD boot source without using the volume buttons?...otherwise, i have to run a NAND build or use WM again for android,cus they dont require the vol up down functions to boot.sorry if im asking the impossible...jus wanted to ask...u may never know!
Hi! Few days ago i repair htc surround volume button. Only 1 thing can help u. You must open your phone. Next. As u see volume button you must repair contacts with soldering iron. Be patient. But also water maybe damaged resistor bacause of it electric chain.

yes unfortunately.........its better bein safe than sorry lol.........i took mine apart around 2 months ago,due to abit of the same prob,my power button wouldn't work all the time or i had to press it down quite hard and i wanted to check my battery pins also. the hardest part is getting hold of the right size screwdriver to undo the phone lol............the rest is easy........if u do take it apart,whilst your there,it wouldn't do any harm to check the pins that connect to your battery,checkin they're not bent or dirty,cos that is why people have a battery drain lol and then they go to all these places to find solutions,task killers etc,when most of the time,the problem is right infront of them.........
HOPE THIS HELPS.............FEEL FREE TO HIT THANKS

[Q] touchscreen stops working after pressing power button

since yesterday, i have this nasty problem with my touchscreen. when i press the power button to wake the phone, or to get into the power-menu, the touchscreen stops working. this does no happen if i press any other button.
sometimes, i can use the phone again if i wait until the screen turns off and then wake it up by pressing any other button, but most of the time i need to pull out the battery and restart the phone. even when i pull out the battery, the screen won't work sometimes, and i have to restart the phone again.
when i first experienced this problem, i was using the nexushd2 v2.0 rom, i then updated to the v2.1, which didn't help. i tried reinstalling the rom, wiping the /data/ , the cache and the dalvik cache (multiple times) and eventually changed to the typhoon cm7 rom (with repartitioning and reinstalling the magldr), the problem is still there.
the phone did never get wet, fall down, or anything the like. pulling out the sd card makes no difference.
i hope someone can help me there
May be it´s a hardware problem, some HD2 have it.
You can test it, if you go back to windows.
its the good old digitizer its right under the power button press the end button hard and it should work again but if you press it again it will corrupt use softkey or remap your hardware buttons

Lol, I was about to do that
@OP, in future please use the search button before posting. There are far too many threads in this forum with exactly the same issue as Kamerius has just proved, so why couldn't you save both us and yourself some time and search first? Anyway, what you have is a digitizer issue, but a quick temporary solution is to simply press as hard as you physically can on the end call/power button. The screen should work after that. Use a button remapper or some sort of widget to enable you to use the phone without ever touching the end call button, and make sure to use other buttons to wake the screen.

i have the same problem with the endkey but with the rom in my sig
it actually has a softkey button that can be setup with a power softkey ..longpress on the softkey and it pulls up the power menu
just like it would do if you used the hardware power button
Yeah I thought there were softkey power buttons but I wasn't sure and I'm on my phone so couldn't be arsed to search

well, sorry dunno why i didn't search the forum before
pressing the power button hard worked , but i think i'll keep using soft buttons and wake the device pressing any other button (i don't think the brute force method is a good idea as i want to keep my phone some time longer )

I am facing the same issue except no matter how hard I press the red button....LCD doesn't works. I have even replaced the thin metal strip which rests under hardware buttons.
Anyone?
Exactly, the same issue started to happen yesterday!!!

[Q] HSPL doesn't work

Hi!
I have an Htc Hd2 and years ago i saw the DFT Nand android, and i installed it... The HSPL, the aMAGLDR... I installed the android using the aMAGLDR usb flasher... Some months ago the screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and after that i decided to install the Windows Mobile 6.5, the original rom but... To install the WM6.5 i have to do volume down + power, to go to that color screen and when it says usb just run the rom.. the problem is that when i press volume down + power the color screen does not show, it just goes to the aMAGLDR.. I checked my volume rockers and they work fine...
And with the android rom installed i can not reinstall the HSPL.
please, help me.
just hold volume down and plug usb while holding it (or to charger) and bootloader should appear

Hi, Gilbert32!
Thank you for your reply but unfortunately didn't help. That colorful screen still doesn't show up.
I don't know if it is related but, my screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and i can't get the colorful screen anymore since then...
My phone buttons are all working fine and the volume rockers are good too... I don't know what happened!
Any other sugestion would be welcomed.
and thank you.
and sorry for my english... I am from Portugal!
well, try holding volume down and just press power button, like if you'r going to lock the screen. only a simple press, no need to keep holding the power button

Once again, thank you for your time!
I've tried that before and tried it now again and it just does the same thing.. it's like i don't press the volume down, it just loads the android rom... and if i hold the power button with the volume down it goes to the MAGLDR, where is the "usb flasher" and the other options..
whatever i do holding the volume down it's like i'm not holding it, it's like it doesn't work.. but in the rom itself i can up and down the volume and in the MAGLDR i can go up and down through the options with no problem.. so i guess there is no problem with my volume controller.
thank you!

[Q] Tough Situation HD2

Short Question:
basically i have a hd2 that has a broken power/end call button ,and no volume rocker at all , would it be possible to install android or updated WP on this phone without those buttons ?
Long Question:
from experience to go into a bootloader or some sort i would need to do a button combination , unless i can get into bootloader or recovery through the OS , i currently have a totally stock hd2 running on WP version - who gives a damn , i got this phone for free as-is and i was thinking of putting maybe gingerbread on this phone , if its possible to proceed without the buttons can i get some links or redirections ? also if its impossible to continue without the volume rocker or power button for android , how about an upgrade to wp 7 ? any type of upgrade would help this phone , thanks in advance
for the curious people i let the phone sit intill the screen locks , and to unlock it i just click any button , to power the phone on i do the method where you plug a usb first and then put in the battery , and for volume control i go into the menu and adjust the settings

i have seen people with this situation and helped them. so i'm gonna make a tutorial for everyone.
also with your conditions, installing wp would not work, as you need power button to enter bootloader.
regarding android, it could be hard for you, as volume buttons don't work, changing volumes should be hard. and so is locking the screen, but if you have a working proximity sensor, it should be easier.
Edit: started writing tutorial, should continue tomorrow
