My Htc Hd2 won't turn on !!! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi Guys my Htc hd2 is not turning on. The battery is fully charged. I tried to remove the battery and put it back. this didn't help me. 1 thing is for sure that I didn't brick my phone. I was running Android 4.0 & now it just doesn't turn ON. The Strange thing is that when I tried to charge it turns on and then suddenly turn off in one second. So it starts and then it turns off. Maybe this is boot loop errors. What should I do ? Very Frustating. Had so much fun with this phone & now it is completely dead.... help me please.

Check battery pins, they are easily bent!
Also it may be that your power button is stuck, try pressing and releasing quickly a few times - might help!

+1 to those pins. Check the pins. Usually the middle pin gets bent and results in the led light flashing.

Is there an other way to turn HD2 on?

I want to know if there is an other way to turn the HD2 on then the standard way. Press the phone down button.
Becouse I think my buttons are a bit broken. Maybe not but I think it.
I can't hear the click sometimes and I also don't feel the click.
I want to know this becouse I want to flash to a custom rom.
I Have already done it with Artemis V11 rom and it was GREAT! I used SSPL.
Have flashed it back becouse my warranty and when it is real broken. How can I reset my device then. Flash back then.
I hope you know the answer for me.
PS. Sorry for my bad English.
The only other way that I could think that may work (haven't tried) might be by pressing the reset button
I think Svegetto is right - The soft reset button will switch it on.

I'm going to try it now, and when it works I'm going to flash it back to Artemis V11. Thanks for the info.
It didn't work, Let's wait for an other option. Thanks for the answser
I'm pretty sure if you take the battery out, plug in the charger, then place the battery back in it'll turn on. Mine seems to do that, anyway.
Not very helpful when you're out and about, though.
like said in the above post sometimes when i need to reboot due to freeze i take the battery out and when putting it back it its switches ok automaticaly. But only sometimes
Try rubbing it gently while telling it how wonderful it is.

doesn't do that for me, and I do that quite often as I always switch the drained battery with another one

lol, silly yet funny, I suppose I expected that coming from someone while opening this thread
Just a suggestion, as I think it worked on my HD1, b ut does plugging it in with no battery in do anything? (hope someone will quickly point out if this will be dangerous!)

I can imagine this could be potentially fatal to the HD2... I'm certainly ain't gonna try it on mine !
Hehe I used to do it at odd times... (my power button was broken in the 'on' positions, so I was always taking the battery in/out to turn it off/on)
Will it turn on without the battery???
Have one that came without battery, does not turn on at all, nothing happens. Does it have t have a battery installed to turn on?

Just plug in the wall charger it will power on... Mine works...

that is because you are using MAGLDR (for android, according to your signature). when you plug in the charger when the device is off, MAGLDR turns the device on so that an OS (WP7 or android) can load and charge the battery...because MAGLDR itself does NOT support charging the battery when the device is off.
to answer the original question, my observation about the standard/stock behavior is that the device needs a battery to be inserted to be able to turn on. so plugging in a charger with NO battery won't get you anywhere. if battery is present (with or without charger plugged in), it will turn on only when the power button (end call button) is pressed. MAYBE the reset button might also work, but never tried it that way.
Just flash Magldr

NAND Phone-Off Charge Issue - *WORKAROUND*

I've been having this problem since the first installation of MAGLDR; The "Orange LED" bug, as most of us know, prevents the phone from charging while the phone is off, and the LED remains orange even AFTER the phone is unplugged. I've found a few circumstances where this will occur:
1. Powering down the phone with USB plugged in causes this issue with most builds
2. Same as #1 but when doing a reboot
3. Phone dies, then plugging USB will bring about the "orange LED" bug
I've found a workaround for these as I'm sure MANY of you have already, but I wanted to post a thread just for people who haven't found an answer yet. The following list corresponds to the items above:
1. Unplug USB before selecting "Power off" on your device
2. " " " " "
3. Kinda tricky.. a) if phone is COMPLETELY dead, pull the battery, plug USB, THEN replace battery, and b) If phone has battery and is OFF, power on phone, wait until "GO! GO! GO!" screen disappears, and then plug in USB.
I think the problem comes about when finishing the installation of your ROM via MAGLDR, OR it could be a bug within MAGLDR itself. It could quite possibly be the kernels, as JDMS' UltimateDroid ROM did NOT cause the orange LED when a REBOOT was performed...
Well either way, I hope this helps some people avoid this problem and gives the dev's something to work on.. Not that their work goes unappreciated
Or do like me. Leave the phone on, put it in flightmode and charge it.

How would this help if phone is completely dead? Seriously, this could be useful. Can someone try this and confirm?

I'm afraid to answer here as the OP might get upset, or tell me to start my own new thread.
Anyway. As I like to help people I will answer your question.
I bought a new battery for my HD2, and it did not have enought power to power on the phone (running NAND).
Not sure if this fixed the charging problem, but I removed the battery for +/- 30 seconds, reinserted the "dead" battery, plugged in the charger.
After some time (seconds) the orange battery came on, and the battery was beeing charged.
I left the phone charging for some time (expecting the light to go green when done), but it never did (NANDproblem?)
So after 1/2 day of charging, I disconnected the charger, and guess what.. the oragne light was still on.
Again I removed the battery, reinserted it again, and powerd on the phone.
The battery was fully charged, and I'm now enjoying 2 to 3 days of phone use before needing to charge it again.
Now.. I'm not 100% sure about 1st connecting the charger, and reinsering the battery, or 1st reinsering the battery and than connecting it to the charger.
I'm having charging issues but in a different way.
when i plug the charger to the phone while the screen is off, the LED does not light until I i press the red button (actually any button) to wake up the screen.
Is anybody having a similar issue?

This is not a problem for me too. The real problem is with whatsapp
when ever someone sends me a message on whatsapp while the screen is off, i dont receive it until i press the power button to unlock the screen. So i thought this might have anything to do with the charge issue.
I have no problem with this bug,he it is on the charger,so why turn it off is my question.....i just turn the sound off lol.

HD2 doesn't boot after restart

I got a HD2 from a friend and he installed Android on NAND and it worked after installation but after he tried to reboot it didn't turn on.
Now I'm trying to get it working but the screen stays black and there is no red led when i plug it into the power connector.
I hope someone can help me.
looks like a dead unit or dead battery?
if the batt, is OK try pressing the power & the reset red button at the back near the batt.
How did he make the restart? a battery pull?
If yes, probably the pins aren't making connection with the battery, try to straighten them delicately.
Okay i tried it with a different charged battery but nothing happened so i think its dead.

Have you checked the pins as Marvlesz suggested? Make sure they make contact with the battery, I very highly doubt that the phone would suddenly die after being turned off.

HD2 Dead?? or what....

I have seen lots of threads on this so I'll ask.
A couple of months ago I let my daughter use my phone until she got her EVO 3D. I went in the room to retrieve it as I was going to put Jelly Bean back on it and saw it was dead. Put the phone on the charger and attempted to turn it on and no screen but the vibration is heard.
The phone buttons light up and it even shows the amber light when plugged in the usb charger. The thing is I get no screen or noises at all. I asked her what happen and she doesn't know (of course). I wonder if it was dropped or dropped in water?
I had installed the HTC Sense 3.0 rom on there and it was running fine. I have to look on my computer to show which one but anyway it could be a weird error that caused this or some kind of physical damage. Thescreen is intact as it was. Nothing feels loose or shaky...but it just puzzles me.
So I just wanted to know is it fixable or does it need a jtag.I own lots of HTC phones but this one is still my favorite
Have you tried a hard reset?

[Q] HD2 crushed suddenly (stuck in aMAGLDR v1.13 boot screen)

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?:/

you need to jtag your phone
Ok, but it's probably not very possible for me to do it by myself, right...? And, in this case, I will probably loose all my data from the phone..?;/

Yes, but luckily Google will restore your contacts, texts, settings, apps and more automatically if you login with your account.

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...
