My HD2 get so hot, then freeze!

I'm not sure if anybody here has same problem as mine. Here is the problem. After watch movie on my HD2 for half an hour, the device started getting warm and hot. It then froze and restarted itself. Then it would stuck on the logo boot up and that was it. I had to take the battery out, waited for 5 to 10 mn to give it time to cool down. Then everything went normal. This happens to me quite frequent now. It wasn't like this when I first bought this. I used to watch movie for hours without any problem.

i had this problem. my hd2 actually was burned on the back near the micro port!
search for hd2 fire to see the story.

I have same problem, who know to repair please help me

if phone is under warranty, get it replaced. did you void your waranty?

Are you using the original charger?
If your mainboard overheats just once, it will never be the same again. It's time for a warranty replacement!

sounds like it has a drug problem or is going through menopause. LOL! I had to sorry carry on.

mine so the samething too , if the back get warm up the phone freeze then restart . do the same thing with NAND too . his there any other ways beside warranty . cuz i dont know if mine phone still under warranty . i got the phone in last father's day so it havent been 1 year yet

If it has not been a full year sense you purchased the phone then yes you still have a warranty. Your issue is probably hardware related cause once a HD2 starts getting warm a lot it starts to slowly deteriorate the connections between the processor and the mainboard. The more the heating up of the processor the more and more it detiorates the connections. It finally reaches a point where it will start rebooting it self because it is trying to compensate for the lack of responses from the failing pathways. So it sound like you are experiencing this problem now. So I recomend you do an exchange while you are still under warranty.

i suggest checking the battery pins also, make sure they are straight and shiny!

HTC getting hot and freezes.
I have a T Mobile HD2 and I have WMO 6.5 on NAND and Android on SD card (16 Gig). Mostly I using android, the main problem is after like using 10 minutes of WIFI the phone gets very hot,I mean really hot and then it freezes. I have to remove the battery and wait about 10 minutes for it to cool and then place the battery and boot again. I am not sure what is causing the problem, if it is hardware then nothing can be done but if it software I am sure there is a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
i've the same problems when using the HD2 for car navigation. When the phone is in the front panel holder and sun is shining, the phone freezes or reboot after a while. The phone itself isn't very warm so i think it must be something with the mainboard or the antenna. I tried with carcharger and without carcharger, same result.

search xda, there has been quite a few threads on Leo's overheating,
in short main two reasons are bent battery connectors (you can DIY), or defective mainboard (replaceable under warranty - been there myself),
to make sure the freezes or reset loops are temperature connected I'd suggest BattClock for WinMo (displays temp in statusbar) or Battery Monitor Widget for Android (keeps temp log)
if you lost all hope, and you're sure it is the temperature, and your warranty has ran out, and its definitely not connector related, then you could try checking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454

what kind of rom do you use? What is your Radio?
is the battery genuine one?
what programs do you use?
some bad written programs will make cpu in loops, which lead to make the cpu runs into high frequency.
do you use any setCPU/overclocking?
my recommendations:
1) install any cpu trend program/ logger to see when the cpu runs into high frequency.
2)replace the video player you used for playing the video.
3)stop all programs that are not came with your rom.
if above do not solve your problem:
task29 / install fresh rom (not the same rom).

[Q] Help fix my 512Leo

Alright, so here's the deal. I came into possession of a Euro HD2 recently. I have been using my personal TMo HD2 for a year or two. The problem with the Euro one I was given is that it refuses to boot past the splash screen. Here's a breakdown of everything I've tried so far to restore it.
The device boots into the bootloader without any problems. I initially loaded HSPL 3.03 onto it. It was originally on SPL 2.08. I've done a task29 on it several times with the RUU and device reporting it as a success. After this, I've also flashed a few radios to make sure the radio partition was fine. When trying to flash a ROM, it will either finish all the way and then boot to the secondary splash, where it stops booting, or it stops the flashing process at 3%.
I'm thinking that the NAND may be corrupted, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't have access to JTAG, so that isn't an option. If I can't fix this one, then it's not a big deal. I'll just scrap it for parts. It would be nice to have a second HD2 to sell or give to a dev, or even to use as a backup.
The bootloader reads as follows
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
It will not accept a ROM image via SD. I can see the screen flash to the gray SD loading screen for a split second before it returns to the RGB bootloader. Currently using a 16GB SD card. I'm going to use a 1GB card in a few minutes to check that the size isn't an issue.

SD flash needs 4gb or smaller card

Sorry for the late reply. I had to acquire a smaller SD card. I've just used a 1GB microSD card. The update seems to have gone through. It hangs at gray screen where it says UPDATE SUCCESSFUL. I left it there for 10 minutes. On my 1024Leo, it always reboots on its own after this. I had to pull the battery on this one to make it reset. Then it does the same thing as before where it just hangs at the splash screen when I try to boot it normally.
Any other suggestions I might try before ordering a replacement board?

Does it vibrate before it gets stuck and feel hot?

It vibrates while powering on, but does not move past the primary splash screen. It does not heat up any noticeable amount.

this might sound crazy/silly but freezer the phone for couple min and see if that will work or freeze it and reinstall the rom. I had that issue with my second HD2 were I HSPL, radio, maglr & flash rom, reboot and would get stuck at splash screen. Searched & searched and found a thread with a member with the same problem I had and resolved it by using ice pack while installing the rom. I gave it a try and it worked for me.

Hmmm.... That does sound crazy. Lol
So, you mean you put it in the freezer or under an ice pack while flashing or before?

What temperature does the phone have while you flash it? I had an HD2 hat always got stuck flashing. It suffered from freezings due to overheating, and during flashing room temperature was enough to kill it. I put it in the fridge for half an hour and was able to flash it back to stock then(through sd). Got it replaced from my provider.

I guess it couldn't hurt. It's just a spare device for me anyway. I didn't notice any heating up on the device at all during flashing this one.

Upon further inspection, I believe this might actually be a T-Mobile 1024Leo based on the model numbers being the same on both my personal TMo HD2 and this dead one. Someone did replace the screen on it at some point.

i put the phone on top of the ice pack while flashing

I don't have an ice pack handy, but I did throw it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I then took it out and put it on a pack of frozen okra. It's flashing via SD right now. Hopefully it actually boots this time...

You have got to be kidding me.......
It worked....
I honestly cannot believe that this just happened....

the flash worked when chilled = good! that's great news.
the flash worked when chilled = oh no! that's terrible! you (almost certainly) have failing hardware.
Fingers crossed it was a one-off corruption that is now fixed, but if i were you id get some rom working and then stay away from flashing anything.

Well, it's just a backup device. I did confirm that it is the 1024Leo and not the 512 model. I'm going to see if I am able to flash again now. If it hangs again, I might just give it away to someone. We'll see. I might be able to score a TMo unit with a broken screen for cheap and repair this one. Thanks for the help, guys.

Ugh. Back to square one. It is certainly hardware related. I had it sitting next to me plugged in to my laptop. It rebooted to the splash screen again and is now stuck. At least I know how to fix it.

Alright, so I made some time to open this thing up. I found that there was no thermal tape left on the inside above the heatsink for the CPU. I ordered some small extra thermal tape that should arrive in a few days. If it helps at all, I'll update the thread.
I'm not particularly optimistic about this solution, but the alternative is to superheat the CPU to reconnect the disconnected contacts. I'm going for the safer, simpler, and cheaper solution. If this doesn't work, then I will probably just purchase a damaged HD2 and swap the parts.

Here is a link to a similar thread in which they discussed possible solutions to your problem. I hope it helps.

I read that reheating the cpu might work with adding thermal compound to cool it might work. I was gonna do it but i need to buy screen/digitizer first before I open it. Glad it worked out

Yep. I saw that thread last night. I added some thermal paste to the CPU, but didn't notice a change. Reheating the CPU would be the way to fix it. It's kind of along the same lines as the Red Ring of Death on the Xbox 360. The CPU got so hot at one point, that the solder points to the board were terminated. Cooling the board shrinks the spaces, allowing for the contacts to touch again and work until it reheats.
I'm probably just going to get a replacement main board.

Yea, adding thermal compound helps a bit. It lasts about 40-60 minutes longer than without it. It isn't a permanent fix, though. Once it gets this bad, replacing the board is the safest method to do. Cooling it down will give you enough time to backup your data to transfer over to another device or board.

[Q] Dead HTC HD2 (Why? Don't know - explanation inside)

Hi
I was playing an android game, can't remember wich one, when suddenly my HTC HD2 turned unresponsive (bloqued), so I removed the battery and powered it on again. When I did this, the bootloader opened but it seemed bloqued too, no android message, no bootloader opening, anything... And once again, I turned it off and powered on but now without any response, completly dead (Only a small vibration, diferent to the one when it power on. [equal like the one previous to the boot one, I don't know how to explain])... No charge led, no bootloader, no tricolor, but without any flash or something similar (Like most posts I have read)
Anyone knows how to fix it?
My htc is a HTC HD7 T-Mobile with MAGLDR (last version) and android 4.0.4 completly working before this
Thank you!

You mean you have an HD2 with MAGLDR, WP on NAND and ICS on SD, right?
First thing to check is the battery pins, easily bent after a battery pull. Make sure they are straight and make contact with the battery. Second thing, are you sure the battery has enough juice? It could be just an unfortunately-timed run out of juice.
If above is all checked, was the phone running hot (like .. HOT) prior to the freezing?

Thanks

Thanks for your answer!
Not sure of the battery juice, I will try to charge it with a broken USB, directly with the cable or with another battery.
Pins seems to be OK, but I don't know. When the phone turned off I was only playing a 2D game ,for no more than five minutes, so I don't belive that it might be hot.

Some unsuccessful attempts
Okey, i tried to charge the battery with the usb but it does not work, so I tried to boot the phone using directly a 3.5 batery (similar to the 3.7 Output of the battery) and it does not work too... The mobile is completly unresponsive, the same vibration in the begining but nothing later..
Thank you!

Well, this is weird. ................. I recall seeing a similar problem somewhere around here, but I don't know if it was fixed or not. Even if it were, I don't know how we're supposed to look for it.
You can try some basic stuff like :
- Changing the battery *try to use an HD2 one*
- Try removing the battery, sim and sd card. Leave them out for a few units time and put in the battery back and try it again.
You can try your luck and search the hd2 (you can use the link in my sig) fora with potential keywords..
.. I can't think of anything else ... I'm sorry.

More of it sounds like BGA failure. Did your phone got hot while playing games?
Also what settings on CPU were set?(freq and voltage)

I have already asked him about that and he said "When the phone turned off I was only playing a 2D game ,for no more than five minutes, so I don't belive that it might be hot."
One more thing you can try, put the device in a sealed bag and put it in the freezer for about ten minutes. Then try to boot it up into bootloader (boot up while holding volume down). If it boots, then it's 99% the infamous overheating issue.
Report back.

It is widely known that putting an HD2 with a faulty mainboard in a freezer for a few minutes will make it more likely to boot up (before it freezes or restarts again).
I don't know *why* this happens, I just know that it does. If you are not convinced, please do your own research

I do know how does BGA fail, and putting your phone in freezer WON'T do any good. It can only worsen the fate of phone, further damaging board or battery.
With all respect, don't give advice if you don't know what are you doing.
Anyway.
If you got warranty - RMA
If not, get infrared soldering station or look for one. Resoldering BGA(ball grid array-micro soldering points) on motherboard could help - CPU BGA tend to get loose sometimes. It's just the way it was designed.
Otherwise, if failed, replace mainboard.
That's it.

Because that's the symptoms of faulty BGA. System stop. Different vibration pattern and bootloader lockout. If memory failed, it's on motherboard. If CPU failed it's also on motherboard.

How in the world does freezing help identify motherboard fault? It's just nonsense.

Freezer trick can help identify BGA contact issues as the cooler temp contracts the CPU & can temporary cause the the solder points of the ball grid to contact and also keeps it cooler for longer sometimes allowing for longer run time or boot progress.
You are not freezing the device to -20 just simply quickly getting the device cool.
Done it myself to more than one hd2 & is a useful diagnostic prior to buying & swapping a mainboard or getting a current one reworked.

Okey, I tried again and nothing happened. I will call to HTC tomorrow and ask for a diagnostic (And price of repair...). I will coment it here as soon as I'll know something. Thank all of you for the help

i thinks you wrong box this is HD2 General

My phone freezes :(

Hi, i have a SGH-I337M, with the AOSP 6.0.1 rom with root, since i can remember the phone had been pretty much hot, i didn't care much back then since i use it a lot but recently my phone started to freeze, like the screen freezes and i cant do anything, not even turn it off, so i have to take off the battery let it cool for 20 minutes and start it again, then it works about 10 or 20 minutes and then again it freezes i think it might be related to the heat. Also some few times my screen has turned green and then white and others few times i can see some sort of colored strings.
I'm pretty sure its hardware related but i don't know why it happens and if it can be repaired, do think ill have to change the whole motherboard?
Thanks in advance

Graphics chip may be the problem You shouldn't let your phone overheat like that I think it's the graphics chip (because of the color artifacts) You can try to reinstall ROM (clean installation) and flash another modem&bootloader, or even flash stock ROM. If that doesn't help then your graphics chip is damaged...There is 'repair', by changing motherboard, but it can be very expensive (if you don't find another S4 with broken screen or something else with working motherboard)

I already reinstalled the rom (clean install) and yupp, it doesn't work, the warmest place in my phone is between the sim card and the sd card, so i guess ill have to change my motherboard X_X
Anyway, thank you very much!

You should get CPUTemp Xposed module and stop letting your phone get hot! I usually stop screwing around with mine when the temp gets to like 50/60-something Celsius. And like GDReaper said, don't be a Negative Nancy, be a Positive Paulie and play around with other ROMs!!

my original phone screen did things like that after a pretty heavy drop onto a tiled floor. it maybe a good idea to have a technician diagnose your problem before forking out money for parts that might not fix anything.

Thank you all for your answers, i did tried to flash some other roms without success (I still have the same problem) i am afraid to continue playing with roms since my phone sometimes freeze in the middle of the android configurations when i reboot my phone just after the new installation and i don't want it to freeze in the middle of the installation of a rom.
I think ill go to a technician to see what can be done about it, ill keep you informed what was the problem

Problem with motherboard of my note 4 ...any help/suggest please!!!

I have still a note 4 since 2014 (so will be c.a 7 years). I never put android 6 because i knew that (maybe) the motherboard would burn and i just put first kitkat and then lollipop. I think my mistake was to use the fast charger (I got one just one r two month ango before I was recharging the handy with a "normal" recharge) and now i have many problems (works very poorly, is slow, freezes but turns on)All the applications open slowly, If I take picturessometimes everything freezes I have to avoid / put the battery back.When I charge at 100% the light stays red and does not switch to green, sometimes it starts up in download mode, I can't go into recovery mode, I have to remove the battery and then put it back and force restart. These are some of the problems...And now the questions arrives...
1)where could I buy a note 4 motherboard that is sure to work (and pay cheaper)?I know Aliexpress but olso that there are different shops (so different garatee ensure the motherboard is working or not sim lock)
2)do you think I can still avoid changing the motherboard and put a piece of card on his eMMC and solve every problem at 100%?
Any help/slutin will be apreciated
Thank's
Helen

Hi Hellen,
I am no developer but maybe can help out a little. SO let em see if I can understand..
1. You are still running Lollipop
2. The phone works but is super buggy and slow.
3. You tried a fast charger on the phone when this all started.
I would tend to think that if it was a motherboard problem, the phone just would not power on, but if you say the problems started exactly when you used the fast charger, then it is too much of a coincidence to ignore.
Have you tried to charge using the 'normal' charger and see if that helps? It may be the voltage settings is off and that causes problems.
I think it is fairly 'easy' to replace a motherboard... and if you check Ebay there are many that can be sold for parts. It gets a little involved to unscrew and unclip everying to swap the motherboard... I had tried it with an old EVO supersonic and was a bit of a nightmare but if you are good with this stuff and have the right size equipment, then is pretty easy to do.
Let me know how it goes!
Dave

A fast charger won't damage the phone.
The phone is slow but functional, right?
I take Kitkat over lollipop anyday but regardless it reload time. The OS is buggered up, maybe a virus or rootkit.
If you can easily reflash that rom do so, or do a factory reset otherwise.
If the issue persists after a factory reset, it should be reflashed.
I don't think the mobo is blown... not yet.

I agree the fast charger shouldnt damage the phone, but didnt know if it was a cheaply made one and maybe caused a short on the MB of some kind.
That is a very good call. a system restore or even factory reset may be all that is needed.

A vital system apk, file, whatever in OS image may have become corrupted. Flash memory doesn't retain its data indefinitely. A factory reset would restore it. The same thing can happen to that data as well so if all fails, reflash it.
At that point you can then accurately assess if there's been hardware damage or not.
Pre-Pie OS's can be infected with a rootkit that requires a reflash to eliminate. Some real nasty rootkits are out there...
A malware infection should always be suspected if an Android starts functioning abnormally. They are rare but they do happen.

Do you know why I think maybe is the fast charge? because it was the only new / different thing i did and after a week I had problems.I think if you charge fast the phone gets hotter (and the motherboard too) Before I used a simple travel charger.Note 4 dosent go in recovery mode I can try to do a factory reset from the setting but,..If then will not restart?ATM I'm using WAKELOCK,I have uninstaled 50% app/games so I give to the handy more memory and if I must restrt it I force the restart (vol down+ power .As I wrote can only go on download mode but not on recovery mde .
Hope will not brick (ols if is 7 years I have it) just wundering if and when wll fine a good price of a note 20 ultra
PS:I forget to write that one "test I done was to restart note 4 in safe mode" but that dident help me :/

Wait for the Note FE to come out
But... if you can get into download mode, that means you may need to use ODIN to re flash all the firmware and operating system back on.
I know this phone can get warm.. like 70C warm. I will often put it on a little ice tray when I am flashing to keep things nice and cool.

I need spen ...The problem is the memory (eMMC) so I think that is the reason why is not able to go in recovery mode and is not able to restart (if I dont force it) s If I flash back lollipop maybe memory will not be enuf to restart in recovery mode (fr a wpe data) and as u know without a wipre data afer flashing will not restart s I will have it "half bricked"
