HD2 Dead?? or what.... - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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?

yeah try this , and if u have magldr bootloader plug the phone to power soruce , the phone should turn on without using power button

Yeah it powers on but I get no screen. When I try to do the hard reset nothing happens...but if I turn on the power button it vibrates. I still get no screen or sounds at all. and the buttons still light up when pressed

Different sdcard?
Also try to go to bootloader with the sdcard removed.

Possible bricked phone?

Installed CM7 on the EVO 4G three days ago and everything has been working fine. Until today when I went to turn my phone on, nothing happened. It vibrated like normal when its booting up, but nothing came up on the screen. Since then, nothing is happening at all. No charging light when plugged in, no sounds, no vibrations, nothing on the screen, not showing up on computer.
What do I try to get this thing to respond?
Did I cause this or is this a hardware problem that just happened to be about the same time I rooted this thing?

What method of rooting did you do? You try a battery pull and hold the power button down for 15 secs with the battery out and try to boot it.

A bricked phone will have a red triangle looking thing that won't go away lol. One that doesn't respond is usally spanked silly lol. Tho there may still be hope your's isn't try the pull method on batt.
I pulled the battery, held power button and volume down while plugged into wall, no response. Should I leave it unplugged and not try the volume button with it?

Try it without being plugged in and with battery out just hold power button down. Usally clears some big issues. If it doesn't work then it could be spanked. Bad unit.

Do you have an extra battery to try out, or temporarily borrow from a friend? Are you sure your battery was charged up, and it didn't die? It sounds odd that it just did that out of the blue. I'd be suspicious of.a dead battery. They can die to the point that they will not take a charge, and they're totally dead.

That's true lol SBC kernels can spank battery quicker. Id try new battery if it's not it then Id swap it out at sprint.
I do not have another battery to test with, I will have to go to a sprint store to do that. I dont have the unit with me to test tonight, but I will take these suggestions home with me. Thanks guys. Lets hope I didn't brick my girlfriends two week old EVO. She loved the Cyanogenmod that I put on there.

[Q] Dead HD2 with no reason !

Hello there
I have a T-mobile HD2, with Energy Rom, and AmeriCanAndroid SD Rom
they have been working perfectly for about 2 months....
yesterday, I was having a call, using the android, when the call ended I couldn't hang up and the phone froze... I waited for about 10 minutes and nothing different with the phone, just freezing! I took the battery off and reinserted it, and here i am, with a stone dead phone, not hard or soft resetting, not charging, and yes, the battery is charged.....
The phone is not booting at all, not vibrating, just as if it has no battery !
what should i do !?
PLEASE HELP ME !!!
and thanks for reading...
See if you can enter bootloader (vol down and power on) if you can then extract a stock ruu and place the leoimg.nbh on the root of your SD card using a card reader or other method, then enter bootloader and follow instructions to factory reset your phone
Hope this helped

thanks for answering but I can't turn the phone on in any way, even in boot loader !!!!
that's why I am crying, I don't know if the phone is bricked, but I didn't do anything to brick it !
Check the battery pins.
thanks man...
but it's not the pins or the battery, because i tried something different, i plugged the charger in and left it, then later I put my battery in a different hd2, and it was 100%, in other words, it's charging but no led is lighting up on the phone when doing so....
the charging circuit on the phone is intact, but the phone is not getting electricity as I see it now...
any new suggestions please?!

the actual pins that are coming out of the phone and touch the battery. The battery might be fine but if the pins it touches on the phone are bent it won't turn on.
I don't think this will work if your battery is working in someone else's phone but, whenever I had that problem, after checking then pins were straight, I'd stick the battery under my armpit for 5 minutes, then back in the phone, then back on charge. Either way, good luck.
@Orangekid - I've checked the status of my phone with HTC and it says "under repair"...fingers crossed...

[Q] mt4g flashing LED no vibrate no screen

Hey guys, Im trying to fix this mt4g for a friend.. It wont boot, I cant get into hboot or recovery, all it does is flash the LED. I have read post saying its because I was unsuccessful at loading bootloader, however it doesn't vibrate like the others are saying. I left the battery out for a couple hours along with sd and sim, also tried charging through the night... I cannot figure this one out, also, the computer will not recognize any new hardware or drivers. Is this phone bricked beyond repair?
I put the battery on my battery charger and let the battery charge outside of the phone now when I put the battery in the phone and plug it in to the computer, the red LED comes on and stays on, along with a red glow on the trackpad... Anyone know what to do?
Blinking LED is either the battery is charging to at least one percent, or you didn't press the right button combo to boot into bootloader. Power + Volume Down is bootloader, Volume up will give you three vibrates and a flashing LED, where you will have to pull your battery.
Thanks, I cant get the phone to do anything... I plug it in with the battery in, without pushing any buttons and the LED comes on and the IR trackpad light comes on... It wont respond to anything, no drivers popup.. Is there anyway to recover a bricked mt4g? Im new to it, as I have an Evo and have never had anything like this occur with all the evos i've flashed and rooted... If someone knows anyway to fix this feel free to give input..
Thanks everyone!
ya .. mine is doing the samething.
I just try to turn it on and I get one vibrate ... nothing else
I hit down and power and I get one vibrate .. nothing else
I hit up and power I get 3 fast vibrates and a flashing orange led ... I try to plug the USB here and I get 3 fast beeps on the comp
I hit up and down vol and power I get 5 fast vibrates with a solid green led and noting else... usb again beeps 3 times on the comp
neither will recognize the usb and I have reinstalled the drivers .. and of course none will work with adb either.
I think we are screwed really ... but maybe someone knows something i dont on this here. Thanks for any help.
if you fix your phone. let me know

ya .. no luck so far ..I have tried a lot .. different drivers .. HTC sync .. etc.
I have tried different button pushes .. usb ports .. wont work in adb .. nothing is doing anything.
all I hear thru my speakers when I plug it in is that damn the fast 3 beeps .. ike a "hell no go F yourself you arent connecting it"
and there isnt a lot of info online bout this .. other than some others have the same LED blinking and stuff .. I still dont know what the different LED modes mean.
so IM screwed .. BUT I am getting an LG G2X as an alternate exchange thru T-Mobile warranty though. goodbye mytouch 4G Hello to G2X AND Galaxy S II(bought) .. fun times!
I found a thread somewhere, not sure where but it said that if you cant get anything and the infra-red on the touch sensor is lit the phone is completely bricked!
Its not bricked. Somethign is wacky with the phone, mine has done it and thats why im trying to find out what the hell is going on. My phone acts like its completely dead. This post migt end up being really long.
Ok, i notices this, i used my phone as a wifi hot spot. Turned it off. Left my phone alone, i then put it on charge and went to sleep. Woke up looked at the battery, no color other than the lighting bolt. Unplugged it then went off. Pluged charger back in and orange led flashes. Tried to get into recovery nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, tried the volume down and power, three vibrations. Ok then i decided to take out the battery in and out, didnt work, tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, then put it back in, same. Took out memory card, sim card. Then plugged in the charger. Let it sit for awhile then it works. I notice if you dont use the orginal charger that may also be the problem. I dont have my orginal but i used a walmart charger and seems like a super charger and some how charged my battery enough to be booted up, i daily use a charger that i found with the same connection x-( , that could be the problem. I dunno what makes this happen but it happened to me at least three times. I kinda figure the battery or the emmc chip is involved, could be the hotspot, could be anything, but we dont have enough evidence to figure it out, ill try to post what my battery usage on here. I use cm7 and it only happens when i use it. I tried all other roms but no repeats. That was my story.

I have done all these as well, and still unable to get past the black screen, or acheive bootloader as well. I have even left the battery out for a couple of hours, and still no different. Going to try recharging the battery once more, and some other things.
As for adb it is of no help as of now. I keep getting an error saying no device found. Has anyone found a way past this yet, to try rebooting through adb?
*Edit*
After trying to replace files on the sdcard I was not able to get past this issue. Also spoke with tech support, and was not able to get anywhere with their help. After speaking with them, I have come to conclusion the is bricked. I still cannot figure out what caused the phone to do this I broke down and sending it out to be replaced. Thankfully I have the insurance so I don't have to pay anything for the replacement.
Apparently its not bricked cause I'm still using mine. Try a different charger probly a stronger one like walmarts. I think the battery has a fart and is messed up for a little when it doesn't have a good charge

I have done this, fully charged it twice, and no change for me. I am glad it worked out for you.
Its not bricked.
Download the stock rom, and put that .zip in the root of your SD card. Put it in, press Power + Volume DOWN and wait for the bootloader. Once it boots, it should recognize the .zip and ask if you want to update it, run the update and your phone will be at stock again. Then root again, install Clockwork, and hopefully you backed up your ROM. This won't effect S-OFF, but you will have to run VisionARY again to get root permissions to run clockwork.
Hope this Helps.
one more
I am too having this problem
just blink orange
can't access bootloader or any else....
I too had this problem not too long ago. My power button wouldn't work though... I just connected via USB to my computer with the battery out, put it back in while connected and it turned on. Maybe I'm just lucky but give it a try

My Htc Hd2 won't turn on !!!

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.

Sounds like a hardware issue almost.
I would maybe try connecting the phone via USB to pc. Pull battery and and replace. Then try booting into download mode. Open Odin and check if the device is recognized.

doesnt sound like a brick... truth being, its almost rare " hard bricking " samsung galaxys.. soft bricking is very common.. i bricked a HTC EVO a few years ago... symptoms: press power.. blue light blinks and the shuts off.... pop out batt, plug in, usb to pc....all do nothing....
sounds like somehow there is a batt problem.... TAKE OUT BATT... LAY it on a super flat serface.. now try and spin it!!! or does it rock around like its uneven?... means the batt is swollen in the middle and is no good... that maybe ur prob.

battery spins like a turntable.
both my batteries spin like a stripper actually.....
i have used 3 different computers, countless usb cables and ports.
i used my friends battery to make sure it wasnt my batteries, phone still doing the same thing.
its so odd.
it was working perfectly fine.
now when i put the battery in, it automatically turns on, but only for a split second.
then it turns off.
i know its not suppose to turn on automatically, but i cant even get it into download mode because it shuts off within seconds.
im at a loss
Well.. if you have insurance, call them and tell them the device just stopped working... they will fedex you another overnight.. all for a 100.00 deductable....thats a way out.

I have seen similar stories from people that had defective power buttons. what if you hold the vol down button when you insert the battery, does it behave differently?
