Let Andriod die now have a paper wheight

ok here is the problem.
4 nights ago i forgot to plug in my hd2 while android was running and the battery died.
the next morning i went to turn it on and the screen no longer turns on but the phone does boot. the battery doesnt charge, status light doesnt either, end key doesnt work, when i answer calls no noise can be heard or made.
any hope?

Im guessing you cant run bootloader?
Maybe this is a warrenty jobby

If you know someone with another HD2, Try swapping the battery.

Hi Chris,
Please eleborate/clarify your OP, because I don't think anyone gets this... At least i don't! You say the screen doesn't turn on but the phone boots?! How do you figure that? Your device is actually on because you can receive/answer calls!?! :S
Sounds like your device has just BSOD (Black Screen of Death) which is discussed quite a lot here. Just press reset button or pull the battery (please tell me you have tried that before...).
If your device IS NOT powered on, please try this:
Does the device vibrate shortly when pressing the End-button? If so you should leave it connected to the charger for longer. If battery has drained too much it takes a while for the device to allow it to power itself up (prevention of overdrainage, which Lithium-batteries don't like very much).
Do you charge through USB, or with the supplied charger? I've had this before trying to charge it with a (different brand) microUSB charger. Turned out most chargers only give out 500mAh, whilst my normal charger (and car-charger) give out 1000mAh i believe. That might help.
You can order a cheap replacement battery from China (i got mine with dockingstation), which is already charged about 60% (for storage purposes).
BTW if your problem is fixed, please add the prefix [FIXED] or [SOLVED] to your topics title.

i have restarted many times.
i use the wall charger.
but why would the phone boot but not turn on the screen or have the mic work?

remove your sd card and the battery. you may have to hit the rest button on the back after you plug the battery back in as well, but as long as you have the sd card out it should come back on. try plugging the phone into a charger and then remove the battery as well sometimes it'll wake it up so to speak. it's just a matter of playing with it. mine did the exact same thing and i freaked out for a little bit.
now if after all this it doesn't work and you've played with it for a while then yeah, best of luck to you =\. but whatever you do in playing with the battery and the charger, keep the sd card out until you can boot into winmo.
EDIT: never mind, i thought the phone wasn't booting. i misunderstood, but i went back and reread the original post. try reflashing your rom if you're in winmo and experiencing those issues. or take the sd card out and reboot.

i would suggest making an backup, as your phone turns on you should be able to estaplish a remote-connection with some (3rd-party-)software and do a hardreset.
if this wont work i would recommend setting it back to factory default (revert hspl if you have one and install stock rom) and send it in for warranty.
seems to be some major problem...
All this steps should be possible without screen turning on (working touchscreen may be needed for backup, but flashing doent need screen input)
if drive-mode is default for your usb connection and holding you from flashing you can do a hardreset and afterwards active sync will be default again and you can establish an active sync connection and flash

check if any of the pins that contact the battery are bended or broken, try to avoid removing the battery when you have to reset your hd2 because the pins are fragile

similar thing happened to me just last night!
I tried the jmz dual boot last night and I was nearly out of battery. I didnt look at any instructions I just installed it and restarted the phone to check out the new toy. it finally got done loading I chose android right away and I was walking towards the bedroom. when I went to see if android had fully booted and plug in the phone I had nothing! It was off. I decided that the battery must have died so I tried to turn it on and all that happened was the tmobile flash screen came up for a second and then it went right off, I got so desperate that I was going to do a hard reset but that wouldnt even work! the boot loader screen would just shut right off. I was suggested to try another battery we had at the house and bang it fired right up I took a wiff of my other battery and I dont know what happened but I think I let the magic smoke out cuz it is fried!

hello friend...i have a problem similar to this. basically when my phone is in android which i use alot if it dies in android, when i reboot it it will turn on for about a second to see my splash screen then turn itself off (the battery is obviously flat). so i plug my charger in and it stays on now but doesnt indicate charging....i boot it into windows mobile and the batt just stays at 0% but its still working. however once i unplug it it will die.....its like the battery is not in the phone. luckily i have two batteries and a dock which charges batteries, so i replaced the battery and everything works fine. once the battery that died in android was fully charged i tried it again and it was fine.................im guesing the moral to this story is dont let your phone die in android mode

I do notice my HD2 runs hotter while in android than while it runs in Windows.
I am not sure if that's an issue to this, which is why I never mentioned about it being hotter. Although my HD2 is noticeable hotter, it never gets to a point that I think I should unplug the USB due to overheating concern...
Just a few inputs from passed experience
I use TMOUS Stock 2.13.531.1 WWE ROM
2.12.50.2_2 radio (not stock)

k going to tmobile today to see if they have any extra batteries i can try.
then ill update

i went to tmobile. and while i was there i noticed the screen was turning on but very dim without backlight (barely noticable). but the rep helping me did not notice and i let it stay that way because tmobile is sending me a new refurbished phone as long as i send the old one (and the rep was totally cool he uses xda also and said they wont check my software and if they do they wont ask for the phone back). he also let me get insurance in case this happens again, instead i will just say its lost. so i basically killed 2 birds with one stone

SM-G900F problem!

Hello
I have bought s5 1 month ago and all was fine untill last week. I started to notice that battery started to charge very fast and didnt hold this "juice" for long (max 40 min from 90% to 15% lol). But thats not the worst thing that happened. Yesterady it simply started to reboot randomly!!! One time it says that battery lvl is at 60% and after reebot it wont turn on. When i plug in charger it says 0%!!! When i want to turn in the device is catches some kind of boot loop. Rarely it will turn on properly. When i finally can turn it on it must be pluged in to charging. Charger plug out = reebot. Most of times now it reboots when the battery picture pops up when turned off!!!! It wont turn on even if i manage to charge it to 100% when turned off. Its a new phone and im starting to think that i have made a mistake buying it. I didnt do any software modifications and android was updated before all this has happened. I hope u guys will have any ideas whats going on. Im going to give it on warranty and im curious what they say and hope they wont tell its my fault lol

Probably a defective battery i guess or some other power related component. Best is to have it repaired as it seems to be hardware problem.

Hard Brick - Phone Not Turning On

Hye,
I was just updating the ROM which is Nitrogen OS. And then i'm flashing the Flash kernel but it stuck for a quite long time. So im pressing Power button + Volume down to reboot into recovery.
And then the phone is not turning on again.
I'd tried to charge the phone using OEM / after market charger / pc and no LED turning on. On the pc , there is no device detected on the Device Manager.
Is there any possible way to reboot into recovery ?
Thanks for helping.

have you tried adb commands?

Leave it on the original USB-C charger overnight or several hours until the front led light comes on. Then do the 2 minute power only button. If it doesn't power on within 2 minutes, it's not going to. The bad part really is that even if you put a new battery in it, it may not fix it. How was the phone behaving before? Any of these.... getting hot, bad SOT, turning off below a certain battery %, not charging fully to 100%? If your battery was acting up recently you could try a battery. If the battery was strong and it just happened out of the blue, likely the phone (MB) is toast. Is there a Huawei service center in KL? Semoga berjaya.

I recently flash the new Nitrogen ROM and after successful flashing , went back to recovery to unroot with SuperSU. During flashing, it was stuck and had to hard reset it and this was happen.
Nothing unexpected behavior at all, the battery kinda mess up since i'm a heavy user. SoT for 2-4 hours. I'm contacting the sc but right now we have Chinese New Year eve. Therefore , they'll closed it till Monday.
And for the bad luck, my warranty was expired on 27/1/2017. Kinda sad for me. Hopefully , they'll make an exception for this situation.
Btw thanks for that good luck. Appreciate that.

Lenovo K4 note Charging Problem

Hi,
recently I am experiencing this deadly problem .
my battery drains completely to the amount that phone can't even boot . biggest problem is that its like phone is not accepting charge . after it loses all the charge,it turns off . when I connect charger it vibrates randomly . it feels like battery doesn't even have the charge to load that Lenovo battery charging animation page(while switched off ). phone goes to soft brick stage .after a few vibrations(I think phone is vibrating one time before loading battery charging page ,phone can't even load that charging page ,may be due to very low charge .so it vibrates and attempts to load battery charging page,and it goes off . again vibrates... somehow it recovers from the loop after some time )it loads battery charging page , and would stuck at 2%,or 8% etc... after long some 6-8 hours phone regains control and charge normally and everything coming to normal .I can't figure out what this problem is . only thing I figured out is that this happens when phone reaches a certain low battery percentage like below 20% .
after that phone will not accept charge until it goes off and all the above things ...
pls someone look into this matter ,may be someone else might have experienced this or someone can give me a clue

This problem has been faced by many users, including me. I thought it was only me, until one of my friends faced it too. Apparently, there might be a problem with battery stats. If you charge when it is fully drained, It will vibrate a few times. This happens because, the phone always keeps 2% of battery for the offline charging screen to load(the charging screen while off). But when the phone's battery is fully drained to 0% then it will vibrate and stays like that before it can switch on. So to solve this, charge the phone and leave it like that until its fully charged or like when you feel it is stuck(while the phone is switched off only). Then switch it on, and fully drain it again. Now once again charge the phone and leave it. Then drain. Do not remove until the phone until it shows 100%. Repeat this few times. This is actually to calibrate the battery stats. Now you'll see that battery charges properly.

Are you on stock or custom rom? If you are on custom rom, you can enable usb fast charging and charge it with computer. It helped me.

No. It's not rom related issue. Each rom has some unique capability. Any rom is good. You can use Kernel Auditor to enable usb fast charge and charge the phone with any computer. This will work on any rom which has a kernel which supports usb fast charge

hii, guys i have problem too, unfortunately from yesterday, my phone doesn't charge but it is charging but not showing, it stucks to 42% and usb/Mtp is not recognized after plugin to pc.. i had shown all by pc side there is no problem in my pc but there is problem resides in my phone by the way i am on stock rom, pls help guyss to get rid out of this. I have done everything restart, reset but things aren't my side, i think this is hardware problem. i

Essential Phone keeps powering off

Hello everyone my brother's Ph-1 keeps shutting down right after powering up, I have tried everything from factory resetting to trying a different charger, nothing seems to work. This happened after he didn't use the phone for almost a month, it worked perfectly before.
It powers off even when on charge or connected to the laptop.
The phone doesn't stay on for more than a minute or two which means i cannot use ADB to side load an update
The phone is running Android P and the April security update patch.
Please do help me out
Thanking you

It could be corrupted though it sounds a bit like a battery issue, to me. If battery discharges too much eg it didn't shut down itself properly when battery was at a low level (they retain more charge than shown to user so it can shut down with proper procedure) & the battery ran down past it's reserve the battery may not be able to be recharged with a normal charger even though you charge it. (Thought a battery specialist could possibly revive it with a boost charge, though I've only seen these used with industrial batteries)
with a "dead battery bootloop" sometimes you can get it going by booting when connected to the charger, but you'll probably need a new battery. Maybe also try boot into safe or recovery mode when connected to Essential charger. (I'm assuming your phone not corrupted, though as you haven't given us much info about exactly what happens & what you are seeing)

The phone shuts down even when in recovery or safe mode whilst connected to the charger.
It does sometimes fully boot up and then shutdowns, but mostly shuts down while still on the essential logo.
If I may ask what do you mean by the phone might be corrupt?
Can one month of non usage cause the battery to die out?

by corrupt I mean some data that is part of the boot process causes bootloop so it shuts down, but as your phone is shutting down at different points in boot cycle I think it's probably battery
Leaving the phone turned off unused for longish periods should not be a problem normally even with a few % left in battery. And even if left turned on it should shut itself down when battery low & be able to boot up again after a month due to the battery "reserve" capacity (but possibly a month was too long). And if it was not recharged straight away and/or rebooted multiple times the battery "reserve" could fall too low and not have enough power to start/shutdown properly (possibly causing data corruption ... though l don't know if there is some sort of fail-safe boot procedure ) Then there is a possibility there is a hardware fault with battery/phone that meant battery lost too much power.
There were some tricks ie "boost charge" you could do with removable batteries that were in "deep sleep" as shown here for example
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TEXA7qIJ968
But they don't really work without taking your battery out (for us we might as well get a new battery when opening phone up, & there would be some risk that you damage battery as we do not know the exact charge to apply on this battery, which could cause unsafe battery) I wouldn't want to freeze my phone even though it should survive OK, as I'd be alittle concerned about long term effect on our screens small pixels (I remember the guys at popular mechanics put an old flip phone with little LCD screen in liquid nitrogen & it still worked after being warmed up!).
See https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/low_voltage_cut_off
for more tech details

firmware issues do not cause the issue you are describing
you have a hardware problem
sounds like a bad battery to me
good news is the battery is not difficult to replace (don't listen to ifixit I am not sure what they where smoking when they did there tear down)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCKxAQXdTJ8
don't bother with silly and wrong tricks like trying to hack the battery back to life its the wrong way todo
if the battery ever gets to that point then the battery is bad enough said

So true! )) As much as I respect the guys from iFixit, they screwed this one up pretty badly - basically, made a tutorial on how to destroy your phone. Fixez.com did much better.
