HD2 Help . Doesn't turn on - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi,
So i Had this Htc HD2 . I got it as a gift from USA. I've used it like 2/3 month. I installed MIUI rom on this device. And then i hot another phone and didn't used that phone anymore. But today i found this phone and i tried to turn it on. Then I saw that the phone isnt turning on. It just stays black and just vibrates. I dont know what is wrong with this. I live in Bangladesh. We dont have any HTC customer service stores here. So i need help with this. If anyone can Help please let me know. and by the way its TMOUS HD2.

Check battery pins are contacting correctly.
Check battery voltage - lower than 3.2V try charging the battery externally & not in the HD2, if you do not have an external charger you can use a USB cable & cut mini/micro usb plug off then touch the red+ & black- wires to + - battery terminals for about 1 minute or bit longer if battery completely flat then put it back in HD2 & see if can boot.

Are you sure it's not just out of battery? If it had NAND Android installed on it via MAGLDR and you didn't bother turning it off then it could have just run out of charge. Since you can't charge the phone when it's off in MAGLDR, you'll have to cut open a USB cable which hopefully @samsamuel will come along and tell you about since I always forget what has to be connected where.
If you know it isn't the battery, then can you boot into the bootloader (hold vol down + power)? If you can get to that then you can try flashing a WinMo stock ROM to confirm it isn't some sort of hardware issue.

I wasnt sure if it was battery or not. And then i recharged the battery with a external charger and tried to turn it on. But no luck. it stays just the same. and i cant even get into boot loader (tri color screen). NO nothing. it just vibrates.

Magldr quick question

i have an hd2 with a dead battery and when i go to power on the phone while connected to the wall charger it just vibates once. this is a sign of a dead battery and magldr 1.2 incapability to charge while off right?
yep, either borrow another battery to flash your phone back to winmo so it ch=an charge, , or, , charge in another winmo hd2, or, get an old usb cable, cut off the usb head, find the red and black wires, bare them, hold red to + and black to -, plug into wall charger for a m inute or two, battery should have enough charge to boot enough to start charging.
Use clk allows charging in off state plus in my opinion better touch screen response.

another quick question. is it correct that the only way to power on the phone is by the power button or the reset + volume down combo with magldr 1.2. because my keypad broke and im waiting in the mail for another 1, and wanted to know alternate ways to power the device on besides the power button
If its latest magldr it detects the insertion of power and turns on. Charge your battery a little, and when you plug charger in it should fire up.

Wait, wait, wait!? Sam couldn't get cLK to run properly?
no what im asking is if my phone led dont light up while connected through the charger, and the phone only vibrates once and never powers on. does this mean the battery is dead. i read several places where magldr 1.2 doesnt charge while its off.
FYI-before i changed my keypad i sucessfully flashed an android rom and the correct radio and hard spl. so i know its not bricked.
none of the magldrs charge when off, but the latest one 1.13 (where you get 1.2 from? 1.12 perhaps?) detects when it should start charging when off, and turns on.
I had to do that usb lead thing i talked about last week, let the phone die, couldnt charge it. worked no problem.

did you get the symptons of a single vibrate and no power when you tried to turn it on? *crosses fingers*

as in my PM, not that i remember, BUT, the phone does give a little shake when it turns on normally, so i can imagine an almost flat battery might vibrate then go straight off a few times before the battery is truly flat, and you shouldnt keep trying, save teh dregs of power, and try top it up as noted with an old usb cable. doesnt have to be micro usb, any old normal usb cable will do, black and red wires to - and + for 30 seconds in the wall charger, thats what i did.

is my hd2 bricked?

i want to know if my hd2 is bricked. i flashed boyppc-shiftpda wp7 v5 rom. i use the rom and then the phone died and now it doesnt wanna charge or turn on without the battery. i cant get it into bootloader and i have magldr on the phone with hspl (of course). is there a solution to this.
OK if your HD2willcnot turn on at all, meaning it only gives you a vibration. But the screen. Will not light up at all And you can not get into bootloader then your HD2 is bricked. But if you can get it to boot up into MAGLDR or bootloader, mainly bootloader then it is not bricked. But from your post it sounds like it might be bricked.
Did you some how let the HD2 die because of low battery when you were flashing the WP7? Or did you let the HD2 become disconnected from the USB cable while flashing WP7? I really do not see how flashing the WP7 could have bricked your HD2 cause it does not flash any radio or SPL Which are mainly the source of a why devices gets bricked.
PM me if you are interested in getting your HD2 JTAGed, or unbricked as I can put you in contact with someone that can do this. That is if your HD2 is truly bricked, still not sure about if it is or not yet.
i didnt unplug while it was flashing. it ran smoothly and then boyppc's rom drained my battery to 0% and not it doesnt wanna turn on at all what so ever. i get no vibration or anything at all. i plugged it in to see if it turns on and nothing. so im pretty sure its bricked
how much does it cost because i dont even have money as i dont work and im in high school..

Wait it sounds to me you just drained your battery and now can not get your HD2 to power back on. If you will go to the MAGLDR thread and read the first post it says that MAGLDR can not charge while the HD2 is off, Here is what it says.....
*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.

The part I have highlighted in read tells you this.
So you probably just need to charge your battery some so you will have enough juicde to make your HD2 get booted up into the OS or just enough that the charging will kick in, it starts about halfway through the booting process.
You have a like three options.
1. Get a friend with a HD2 with Windows Mobile or that is using cLK for it's Android bootloader and charge your batyerry for like 5 minutes.
2. Buy another precharged battery or a external charger.
3. take a old USB or cheap USB cable and cut the end off and then strip it back to the wires and strip the red and black wires back. Then plug the cable into your wall charger and hold the red to the positive on the battery and the black to the negative on the battery, positive and negative are marked on the battery. You only need to do this for like 2 minutes, then put your battery in your HD2 and and plug it into the wall charger then power it on, it should have enough to boot into the OS. You can also do this by wiring three either AA or AAA batteries together in series and hod the positive lead to the positive on the battery and the negative lead to the negative on the battery.

[Q] HTC HD2 died and now won't charge.

Hi,
Since yesterday my phone (leo/hd2) died and when ever i tried to charge it it would go in to a boot loop then back to normal booting (as in wp7 bootscreen) but now a day later it won't even charge! I have checked the pins tried different cables and still nothing. Also there is a small red tab on the bottom of the battery near the connecter which used to be pink.
Maybe your battery is completely drained? If so, check here.
it won't even turn on so i can't perform this > does this mean it's dead?
have you tried a different battery because you have used a WP7 rom and when the battery drains out it can not be charged ( unless charged on another phone) so i recommend you using a different phone to charge your battery or get another battery into your phone
Thanks, i'll try that now. But does the red tab mean anything?
Hi,
I have this very often. Problem is that your battery is completely drained and the phone doesn't have enough power to start.
This is how I solve it:
start charging your phone
when it switches on, keep pressing the power on/off button
you'll arrive in the magldr boot screen.
just wait for about 5 to 10 minutes
start windows phone (it's possible you'll have to remove your battery and put it back in your phone).
Voila WP7 starts without any problem.
good luck!
try an external battery charger/universal battery charger. (i recommend keeping one handy whenever u r messing with wp7)

Piece of crap?
Whoa, cannot agree there...
If you carefully follow all the tutorials, hints and tips here at xda, HD2 runs fast and smooth with several OS´s of your choice.
However, there is still a possibility that your device is defective. Or the cable. Or whatever. But that doesn´t make HD2 a piece of crap in general.
Lol, its the charging port and a defective rom once i fix both i will have to go back to miui ;( Is there any rom which allows charging while the phones off.
Hi,
It's not the rom, it's magldr...
Koen
What do you mean? Do i need to downgrade? Can you charge while it's off?
if u have 1.13 and u can reach the magldr screen then plug it in,quickly switch it to usb masstorage mode. but dont keep it there for long as the screen will be awake all the time.
try keeping it that way for 15-20 mins,it shld give u enuf juice to boot it up

what he meant was that,its not the ROM's fault that u cant charge it while the phone's off,
you see,whenever u plug in a switched off phone,it quickly boots into the magldr mode,before booting ANY OS( or any version of any rom ),and thats y it wont charge while switched off(unless future magldr provides this function)....the only reason WinMo cld charge your phone while switched off is that it dint need MAGLDR before booting
try the usb mass storage method if possible,it works
hope i helped ya
dont forget to thank all the hardworking developers
I always have a problem with aftermarket chargers and charging through USB. It won't chargers in both scenarios....any body has an idea on that?
When my HD2 completely drains i just attach the (original) charger and it will start cycling boot...but eventually the battery will be charged.

[Q] Cant boot. Battery wont charge?

hey guys.
charged battery at night used it at work all day came home around 10 and battery was on 1%..went upstairs to charge but phone but was dead. when plugged into wall phone boots for 2 sec then turns off and boots again for 2sec....constantly looping like this? im pretty sure i just need enough charge so that i can boot into android and ill be sweet. but doesn't even get half way there!?
need help. cant charge.
im leaving the battery out for the night and im gonna try again tomorrow but any suggestions would be great!
thanks
Not sure but you can try this: hold down power button till mgldr menu comes. Stay in mgldr menu for some time and get some charge,then reboot.

Phone will not charge on magldr screen. Android needs to be booted to charge.
Get old USB cable, mini or micro, cut end off, bare red and black, take battery, connect red to + and black to - ,plug into wall charger and hold wires on battery for a minute or so, reinsert battery, should be charged enough to get far enough into booting to start charging.
First.. i had the same problem.
it have to charge while off.
before you cut off things, check the batterypins. one of them was broken on my HD2 (i saw one of them below my battery).
if so, try to hold that broken pin back while insert the battery and try again.
you could also buy a dockingstation (something like that: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premi...P2YS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1313518480&sr=8-4) to charge batterys.
I had the same problem once, I`m not 100% sure how i solved it but I think that I pluged it in that it started booting and removed then the battery. I think it doesnt start automatically if you reinsert the battery then... but I´m not sure about it...

thats correct, but relies on the bootloader being able to charge when off, so this method of fixing the discharged battery problem only works with winmo or cLK
Your right i had that Problem in the time i was running it with winmob andere haret
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Charge while in bootloader or hard reset screen, it should charge from there.
However, the charging process using the aforementioned methods is kind of slow.
hey guys. thanks for your responses. i have left it overnight and it doesnt get to the 1234 bit. i have 3-4 cords so i cut one up however it has blue, red, white and green cords....whats positive and whats negative?
also my pins are fine.
this is killing me!
Thank you to samsamuel, i ended up cutting my old cable. connected the red cable to + and the white cable to - and left it for a hour. just booted my phone back up and got 1000 msgs and emails lol and im on 84% battery.
thanks again to everyone how posted!
much appreciated!
Good to hear,, for anyone else thinking of trying it, an hour is pushing it a bit, you are running the risk of damaging the battery since the charge control circuits aren't being used.
What Android build is this? I remember having a build once that required a special key combination to charge the phone up. I think it required you to hold the volume down and power while plugged in to the charger and it could charge from there. I don't remember exactly though.

Nothing to do with the build,,, if you have magldr installed the phone must be on and booted into android to charge.

EDIT: I realize now that it must have been something else, can't charge in HSPL or MAGLDR (duh). I have no recollection of what though (if anybody knows, let me know because it's driving me nuts now!)
OP, you do also realize that instead of cutting up wires you could get an external charger for your battery and just charge the battery alone, right? If you've wanted to buy one of those fancy desk docks you could get one that also charges a battery behind the phone

[Q] HTC HD2 won't turn on<don't recognise Charger or USB

Hi,I have a Android gingerbread 2.3,haspl v.3,MAGLDR113,it's second time my htc block and dont want to restart from the buton,i have remove the battery and it dosnt want to turn on ,there is no screen,the battery was charget,but the red light don't light when i plug the cabel,in my PC dont recognise usb,nothing and the phone,i try for 1 day to remove a battery,but no result,1st time when it happens it work,but for a week i can't use it,Sorry For my English,Some ideas what can i do before i took it back in the store
sounds like it could be a simple flat battery. when magldr is installed you cannot charge the phone unless android is running, so when it is off it does not charge.
if you can try another battery, or your battery in a winmo hd2, that will tell you if its teh battery.
If you have a spare usb cable (any type, doesnt have to be a hd2 micro usb cable) cut end off, bare red and black, hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for about a minute, which should give it enough power to charge.
Also check very carefully that you dont have a bent battery pin from all teh battery in/out. they bend easily.
i hava a Bat charger and charge the bat all night,and the morning it show me that bat is charget,put it on the phone,but nothing ... cant turn on
Maybe battery is dead. Do you own a volt meter an can check the voltage provided by the battery? It shoud show up about 4 volt.

Is there a program that can connect to the phone and erase everything
To wipe the phone install the HD2 toolkit, you can download it here.
It includes every tool needed for maintaining your HD2.
Be sure to install the drivers!
Start the program and press the Task29 button, follow the instructions provided. When it's finished your HD2 will be fully wiped, so you would need to reinstall everything.
Do so by doing a MAGLDR repartition. After that choose MAGLDR update recovery to flash the Clockworkmod recovery.
Then go into the Clockworkmod recovery and flash your rom.
Now your HD2 should be fully wiped
BUT! If your PC doesn't even recognize your HD2, and you can't even get to the bootloader screen by pressing and holding both volume down and the "end call" button. Then it's probably a hardware failure.

Magldr repartition flashes cwm so no need for the update recovery step. That's for, well the clue is in the name,,, updating the cwm version on an already partitioned instal.
Okay, thanks for clarifying that!
Didn't know it worked like that, I only use CLK.

I've seen this and similar a few times, when left on charge overnight, and upon waking the phone is totally gone. I've woken up to a fully hard reset phone myself, once, not dead but something weird happened.
Electrical surge, perhaps? Overheated circuits? Who knows.

I'll trying to charge battery but i don't have a table battery chager.
Could you please repeat me what you did, since I didn't get the first part, what did you put on your router (what kind of router please)?
I've tried using my phone with another HD2 phone's battery which is working (and which also started with my own battery?!) but my own phone wouldn't start at all with the other battery...
The battery wasn't fully charged, but did it have to be, if so how long should I charge the battery with the cut USB cable for it to be charged enough please?!
TIA
P.S. I've tried a voltmeter on my battery and it said 4.14V (should it be 4V exactly?) and should I even try the cut USB charge trick again (since I've tried another phone's working battery)?

Ok if I understand you correctly you have tried your battery in a working HD2 and it worked. Then you tried the battery from the working HD2 in your device but your device still did not boot up. If this is correct I do not feel your battery is the problem, but still check the battery pins on your device to make sure none of them are not slightly bent and not making contact properly.
Also if you can provide more info on what you may have done to cause this or what happened when your device reached the state it is currently in. This info can help others and me help you better.
I have a similar problem.
The phone won't start, it gets to the white htc screen sometimes but quits within a fraction of a second.
This has been so since the first Android boot hung (I suspect I have not followed the steps accurately enough...). I have charged, decharged and recharged the battery using the suggested USB-cable technique, but this was of no aid so far, so it's not the battery. Pins and all's fine.
It's someone else's phone, too, so it would be rather unfortunate if I bricked it.
Are there any other common reasons for this behavior? Most tutorials rely on a PC connection, but as it does not recognize such a thing, that's a bit of a problem.
Finally the same problem here.
Battery status was about 70% and running smoothly (WinMO Custom Rom) since installed.Unlocked the Screen and tried to start programs.
The Icons were lightened up but nothing happened.Tried to softrestart...Nothing happened.
Removed and reinserted the Battery.
=> Not turning on.
-another fully charged Battery => nothing
-charging on Charger => nothing not even charging light
-plugged into (running) pc => nothing not even charging light
-5 hours in the fridge => nothing
-charging over night => nothing
Any hints ?
Thx for the goot work around here and greets from Germany !
Sebastian
PS If anyone got one to offer => contact me. Dont like those situations
Bad news!
Seems like your MB is gone...:crying:
Maybe one chance left for a JTAG attempt to a local service shop...
thats what i was afraid of
at least it happend only one hour after i made a backup
thx for the reply !
