Hey,
I've got a serious problem with my XDA Orbit. There is a white screen coming after the boot screen. Sometimes the phone even starts until the todays screen but after a while it is going white again.
I tried hardreset succesfully but the problem still appears. I cannot flash the official wm6 because when the screen goes white the connection to the computer is interrupted. I cannot go into the boot loader...
All the time when I press camera button and softreset the phone is just turning off. Has somebody an idea what I could do?
Any booting with MicroSD card maybe?
Or is it the battery? (I don't think so but it might...The battery was empty for a long time...?)
Or any other ideas?
Greets,
Kon
Just saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467648
maybe new battery helps
Li-Ion batteries should be stored charged. Leaving them uncharged can cause them to malfunction, try a new battery.
What do you mean by "stored charged?".
Do I have to have a charger like it is included in a cradle? Or is there another way to charge the battery?
I bought a new one but the same problem still appears...
Sorry to hear the new battery did not help. Have you tried starting the phone with the SIM and Memory card out?
Stored charged means the battery should be fully charged up before storing and every now and then taken out of storage, the charge level inspected and re-charged if required.
I have an HD2 I just bought, should be still under warranty (aside from running wp7 and random warranty-voiding stuff) and I am noticing an issue of when I totally kill it, it seemingly won't charge (or no charge light comes on at least) until I pull the battery out and put it back in. Also, I have noticed it doesn't power on from that state (light goes from orange to green) until I pull out the battery and put it back in. Is it just because I'm running WP7 and hardspl3 or radio 2.14.50... (or whatever recommended radio is for wp7). It's not a huge deal but it makes me curious. Also I get occasional restarts upon booting wp7 but it always boots into it (maybe 1 or 2 restarts every ten boots, and it seems to happen more after total kill). Just wondering if people are having similar issues.
WP7 is pretty cool, but I am wondering how many prefer 6.5? I'm an avid Android user (never ran 6.5 except on a Blackjack ii briefly, and yes, 6.5) and I was curious what you guys thought of wp6.5 vs wp7.
Lastly, I am wanting a magldr compatible sd version of a Desire HD ROM with sense and everything that isn't overclocked (I know there are some out there that are, ie DL.DesireZ 3.x).
Please advise.
It's not WP7, it is MAGLDR. MAGLDR does not have a software in it which allows the phone to charge when off.
My advice to you, never, ever, let your phone lose charge. A dead battery is a dead phone in our case, unless you have spare batteries.
I figured something like that. It's not going to botch the magldr flash though if it dies, is it? I would assume magldr is read-only or close to or something like that to where it can't corrupt itself.
I don't see why a dead battery can kill MAGLDR, it'll just leave your hd2 unable to turn on. However MAGLDR, I assume, isn't incorruptible. Well if you're afraid of corruption from leftover flashing, for whenever you want to flash WP7, Android or winmo, perform a task 29 first, flash MAGLDR, and then the OS. Well if it winmo, then a task 29, then simply flashing winmo and done.
Oh and the reason WP7 kept on rebooting on yours was because your sd card was incompatible. My advice is to reformat the sd card with panasonic formatter, full format btw, and then reinstall WP7. If that doesn't work, you just have to get a new card.
A MAGLDR SD desire hd version I know not of. Since NAND came out, SD development has died off so there are only a few developers that still strive in that forum.
Well it restarts hardly ever so I probably am not going to worry about it. It's the stock HD2 sd that came with the phone. The reason I want an sd build is because I want to dual boot.
I don't understand how I seem to be the only one who can charge in magldr.
I've drained my battery many times to the point where it doesn't turn on to calibrate using Android. Pulled battery, reinserted and connected wall charger. Orange light comes on which means it's picking up charge, leave it for a few minutes so it gets some residual charge in it, pull battery and charger, reinsert, boot up, then during boot process plug the charger back in and away you are, charging from scratch.
I too didnt have any problems charging dead batteries via MAGLDR.
Those who are can update to version 1.13 as its now got a workaround for it apparently.
I wasn't aware v13 was even out. Well it's not a big deal. Glad everyone is having this issue . This bug still beats having to wait 20 minutes for my stock Sammy Vibrant to boot up. Damn ridiculous.
Is your battery life worse on WP7 or WP6.5? I get roughly 8-10 hours. I'm surprised it burns that much electricity seeing as how all it is is some colored squares and no data connection or multitasking.
EDIT: Updated to MAGLDR ver. 1.13 without a hitch. Will see how this goes. For the record I was using 1.12.
I guess this is the fix:
"*Fixed Power-Off-Cable-Plug-Stop. Phone now detects this situation and reboots. Battery controller inside LEO needs runtime control during charge, it implemented in OS."
I could do it on the first version of magldr, as long as the Orange light comes on you're good to go, just leave to get some charge then pull everything reinsert turn on, simple...
I found the trick--MAGLDR V1.13
Plug the phone into a wall charger. Hold the call end button as soon as the phone comes on booting into MAGLDR. Let the phone stay at the MAGLDR menu screen for about 15 to 20 minutes. Restart the phone and leave it on the charger. It will have enough power to make it to the android home screen.
sorry for the delayed reply bro but i justr had this problem lately and know abt the fix for it... just go into magldr by pressing the power key for sumtime on bootup... after that plug in the wall adapter for about 20 - 30 minutes... havng done that remove the battery and insert it agiain w/o the charger... start the phone and let it go the main wp7 screen where it will stay for only about 20 seconds... quickly run to the settings menu and switch on airplane mode and put the brightness to the lowest setting... and quickly lock the screen... the phn will start charging fine... now leave it for an hour to charge and then adjust the brightness as u like and turn on airplane mode... it will work fine... take precautions for next time... there is a kind of an odd fix that was in forums...(sorry dont have the link)... when the wp7 is working go to the default camera and go to the video camera mode and switch back to the still camera and press the windows buttn to go to the main screen... the battery drainage is very less in this case and the stanby increases... cheers!
I don't know if it is the same kind of pb linked to the SD-card, but there is mine:
I have just flashed the Mango with marketplace ROM;worked perfectly! (a bit slow sometime, but nothing really bad). I used it a lot today.
I think I ran out of battery tonight, and now when I plug the phone on power, the phone boots automatically (so stops charging...) and loads to DFT screen few seconds and shuts down (because of the battery?) then charge 1 sec, then turn on, .... etc.
Of course it restarts before the battery charges again after the system loading.
(Question here, does the battery keeps charging when the phone is booting? as the orange charging led is off.)
I might have found a way to stop drain the battery trying to start and stop at the magldr menu... but still don't know if it charges because the led is off.
Any recommendation/advice for me? (To avoid the auto-boot on charging)
(I can't (don't want to) re-flash, because the battery is almost dead!)
Thx
EDIT: I have used the original SD-card of 2GB, I also have a 8GB/Kingston/class4 that I didn't want to format, but if I need I can do it.
It seems that the phone is charging when it is on the magldr menu because the system loading goes much further (but the points animation is very slow when it was very smoothy before, like 1 transition per second)
Still loading after 2min
1. SanDisk 2GB Class2 (Bundled with EU HD2) - could install WP7, card was recognized, after one day of using and installing several apps the system starts to crash, random reboots each 20 minutes or so.
2. Kingston 8GB Class4 (Bought 1 month ago) - WP7 installs but can't get over startup configuration, it stucks, rebootings and Hard Resets won't help (tried a bunch of different ROMs, nothing helps)

seems dead for both cards, but I will try anyway with the second one if I can't boot the system anymore!
After 30 min charging on the magldr menu the phone starts again! Everything seems to be ok, but I am still wondering WHY it is not possible to charge the phone without it to start and try to load windows... Or maybe I missed something...?

I had the exact same problem let phone die... couldnt recharge i just used task29 wiped magldr let phone charge while was off :-\
The reason it wont charge during boot is reason why ur keyboard/mouse dont work and flash on and off during actual booting of windows... dont know what process that is .. but i can only imagine its something from going bios (using those drivers) then going to the operating system (utilizing those drivers) and inbetween doesnt work

I got the same issue. I put it to charge and refrained from entering my pin when it asked to, until the phone got a full charge. Looks all fine now...
Out of topic, may I ask how much storage your phone shows in settings with your Sandisk 2gb card? I also got the same card, and it got only 35 MB total storage and 0MB left. That's right after installation...

Sorry, but I don't know. After booting, it rebooted few times then couldn't find the SD-card anymore, so I formated the SD, took the other and reflash.
Then new one (kingston 8GB class4) is showing 7.22 total / 6.80 available. It has been working great today, and still
The best way to get around this problem if you run your battery dead is:
-Hold both the volume up and down keys while the phone is booting
-It will ask if you want to delete your data, just leave it as is for 10-15 minutes
-Pull the battery and restart your phone
The battery doesn't charge while booting up, so that's why it gets stuck in a boot loop like that.

Hum, just pressing the red button enters the magldr menu, maybe safer than the erase data menu There you can also charge the phone without draining too much.
Yes there is this kind of a problem this is how i solved that!
First of all i rebooted, the device was almost %0 percent of battery.
I just plug it to electricity and close its lcd and wait. I dont know why.. Charging device takes very long time. But it still works. Battery drainage is because of huge LCD, i think the battery drainage caused by the lcd canot be compansated by the charging state, so it keeps rebooting everytime.
When you get you first opportunity, please try turning off the lcd.

unless your charging from a laptop which may only give you 200mA the power from the USB will be more than enough to keep it alive with the screen on. the reason it keeps rebooting is because your sucking the last remaining mA out of the battery, like a sponge, it takes several squeezes to get all the water out, DO NOT keep doing this, or you will need to invest in an external charger or attach some wires directly to the terminals of the battery.....or use a WM HD2!
as others have mentioned, put it in to bootloader(best choice) hold VOL DOWN on restart and theres no chance of deleting data here! or put it in to magldr.
dont leave for any longer than 30min though, get it charging in windows as soon as its got enough to boot, its unclear if the battery full cut off works in the bootloader/magldr
I've been using the Magldr to charge my battery on the occasions when the battery gets too low. Today I managed to wait to long I guess. Even in magldr my phone sits for a minute then reboots itself. I also tried the hard reset screen. I don't have an external charger. Any ideas for me?
I have the same problem when I use my HTC charger. But when I use my Samsung charger (came with my Galaxy Ace) HD2 boots normally. Also I noticed that when I use the phone on HTC charger battery keeps droping. I think it uses more power then the HTC charger charges. With my Samsung charger i dont have this problem.
I tried charging in MAGDLR menu, but that only drained the battery more. (v1.13) I had to buy a universal charger ($4) to get my phone working again.
Any idea why this hasn't been fixed in MAGDLR yet? Or might there be an alternative?
For now, I think I will program Tasker to shutdown the phone at 10% battery...

worked for me! thanks
Hello, everyone. I have recently installed android on my HD2 using a guide here on the forums. Everything worked so perfectly until I bought an extended battery. The battery is 2300, and it is an official HTC battery. The problem is if i put the extended battery and turn on the phone, the phone starts fine, loads and but right after 1 second when the home screen is loaded the phone crashes. I tried with and w/o SD card, connected to the charger and the problem still persists. But when i put the old battery, everything works just fine. Do i need some kind of software update? a driver? or is the battery defective?
Try to charge your battery, with phone off, for a few minutes and then turn it on. Maybe your extended battery came empty...
Hello.
I've flashed my s5 with popwizh and everything went well. But after a full battery discharge the phone won't turn back on.
Battery is good and charger.
volUp+home+power doesn't do anything
volDown+home+power doesn't start download recovery
tried to boot from sdcard with a debrick img but no luck.
What more can I do? I don't want a paperweight please.
Charge it?
Battery is good and charged
If you can't get it to even turn on or enter download mode, there's not a lot you can do
Try removing everything like SIM and SDCard, remove the battery too and only connect the charger, see if you can get any signs of life at all
If not, it sounds like a hardware problem
Its to much of a coincidence to be a hardware problem, I refuse to give up just yet.
So far all the posts that resemble to my situation go on an on about flashing a debrick.img to the sdcard and boot from there. Dead boots and stuff.
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/g900f-debrick-img-lollipop-t3240626 but without success
You said it won't even power on ?
How you going to flash anything without power?
I'm not saying 100% this is the problem, but most devices die when they are powered on, as that is when they are put under the highest stress
For example, I put away my treadmill in the corner of the room about 6 months ago, working - came to use it a few weeks ago, dead
Looks like pixies killed it, but actually it was when it was powered up again, just looks like it died when it was off
--
Is the phones power button working?
If you at least had a sign of life, we could go from there, but without any power at all, I have no clue
Battery connection contacts not bent or snapped?
From what I understand the phone won't turn on because the boot partition is gone, so if I manage to boot from the sd card to the download recovery, I can then use odin to flash it back to stock android.
Am i wrong?
Are you even getting the logo on screen when you turn it on?
Does the screen even light up?
You said there is no power at all, that's not a boot partition problem
Man if it's not turning on and there's no reaction when you press the power button then there's two things I can suggest : the power button is not working; or when the battery went completely dead its safety system thing could have turned on, which means you have to put it to charge as long as it takes for it to turn on again. Plus if your phone was exposed to water which I doubt its power controller could have gotten burnt
Have you plugged it into a pc? See if it registers with that and if it dies but still doesn't boot just try to leave it on the charger for a few hours even if it's fully charged. Then battery out for 10 secs wait... wait... wait... and turn it on plugged into the wall. Or at least try. If that still won't work samsung repair Centre for you
Still no life, I've tried everything said so far. My only hope is a debrick.img to boot from the sd card, which I don't have.

Try to plug the phone to adb and see if it recognize it , if it's not i don't know maybe try another battery to see if its battery related or other hardware composant
