okay so i have a hd2 with 2.08 hspl and everything as of yesterday after my 2.12 radio flash everything worked fin. but when i started charging it i noticed it didnt show the usb connection when it charges. well it had 9% left and i fell asleep i wont up and it was completely off. im pretty sure the radio disabled the charging ability or whatever when i took my dad to the airport at 4 i looked up a little bit and saw i should take the battery out for awhile then try? i did that and i got it to bootloader with USB but it wont sync. i then reset it and tried to turn it on it started to turn on then died i think the battery is dead cuz of this whole radio thing
so i guess my question is how do i fix it? do i need to install a Rilphone.dll? or go back to my old radio? if so how do i go back to my old radio. then again i could be all wrong
***update i got it into bootloader with usb again im going to leave it for awhile and see if i can get a charge***
****update 2, i guess i can charge it enough in bootloader mode, so how do i enable charging again so i dont have to charge in only bootloader mode?****
No need to go to boot loader to charge. Just keep the phone switched off and charge your phone. The LED will come up in a few seconds. Leave it to charge full till it becomes green as usual. Try putting your device in boot loader & flash YOUR REGION STOCK ROM. Then flash any custom ROM if you wish.
you sure? cuz it never charged before when it was plugged in normally, it just went till it died
take the battery out, plug in USB, then re apply battery. It should shortly begin to charge without trying to turn itself on (which it does if you simply plug usb in whilst battery is in.)
I doubt it was the radio, i'd be more inclined to think you
1 - bent a battery pin
or
2 - faulty hardware.
wait bent battery pin that would make alot more sense.
*checking pins*
it seems as if the middle one (ground) is bent up a little i pushed it down so that it was touching the battery and it worked. im just curious if it broke completely is it possible to replace these?

Looks like it would be a crazy tight solder job if it did, probably just as easy to get the whole device replaced.
My Easy Fix
So my phone HD2 will not turn on or charge when plugged it in. I was freaking out. 2 days without, until i found a thread that told me to take out the battery. Hold down and press the Red power button for 30 seconds. While holding it down put battery back in.. careful you are connecting battery pins to battery when doing this. Then plug back into the wall power not PC. Walah like magic MY once bricked T-Mobile turned back on. ( worked after the 6th try)
Best of Luck.

Thanks for sharing this info. this trick worked for me too.
The phone went past the boot screen n showed me windows mobile logo.
It did restart again once or twice. Then I kept the power button *pressed* continuosly till the phone booted up completely
sorta helped

I received a HD2 in a trade, and it was set up for android. I couldnt charge it, and when I turned it off.. it would just restart by itself... so i thought maybe if I put WM6.5 back on it, it would fix it, nope. This trick DID fix my charging issue, but unfortunately, NOT its restarting when I turn it off. So.. anyone have thoughts on that? lol
My Rezound is broken
I unlocked and de-sensed it, but that was when the unlock first came out and it's been working fine since, so I don't thing that's the problem.
The phone won't come on, and when I plug it in the charge light doesn't even come on. If I leave it plugged in, then take the battery out and put it back in the charge light comes on for a few seconds, then turns off.
I was at a new years party the night before and I may have laid down on top of it while it was in my pocket, but the water sensors are fine, and I don't remember it ever getting wet.
I notice there are a lot of connections between the phone and the back cover. Is it possible that something could be bent and these connections aren't being made, so the phone refuses to do anything? I tried putting wires across them where they would normally be connected, but it didn't seem to help.
So what do you guys think? Is there something else I can try? I guess if it's totally broken then they can't tell that it's unlocked, so I could try getting a replacement :/
First off, I wouldn't have put any wire across any of the antenna leads like that. Second, if the phone is not coming on with the cover off then you may have another problem. The phone should turn on without the cover. You just wouldn't have signal.
My opinion, try another batter if you know anyone who has one. Or maybe go to your VZW store and see if they will let you use one of theirs. If the battery/phone is too hot the LED will blink orange, once it is cool enough, or full enough to turn on/charge again it will become solid. The fact you get an indication when there is no battery leads me to believe there may be a problem with the battery itself.
with the phone off, pull the battery for several minutes. Then put it back in and plug it in to the charger. Do not try and turn the phone on. If the charge light comes on and stays on, just let it charge for a few hours until it turns green.
I've read of rezounds dying from the battery going completely out. Screws it up somehow. Verizon also has thunderbolt external chargers for 5 bucks. You could use that to charge the battery (it fits), then try and turn it on. If it still won't turn on after charging, put the battery in and try and boot into the bootloader menu (power on and vol down at the same time), from there you can restore your nandroid or flash another ROM if it will boot to it.
I tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, and then for the rest of the day. No dice in either case. I'll try to get an external charger tomorrow :/
Thanks for the ideas, I'll let you know how it goes.
Mine died overnight. Same symptoms, charging light for a few seconds then nothing. I plugged it in, let it sit for a while (didn't time it, but not more than 15 minutes). Unplugged it, then: held power, volume up and volume down all at the same time. It booted up, as soon as the screen came on, I plugged it back into the charger. Running fine now. Hope this helps someone else.
Went to Verizon today. I bought another battery and ordered an external charger. Swapped in the new battery and the phone started right up
Now I just hope I didn't screw anything up messing with the antenna contacts :/

After getting the new battery, does the orange LED come on while charging the phone when powered off? I replaced my battery after having the same problem and now the orange light does not stay on while the phone is charging when it is powered off. I guess it's no big deal, but it bothers me.

Yeah, it still works just fine. I turned it off just now and then plugged it in to check and the charging light came on immediately.
Maybe the battery is faulty or you got a thunderbolt battery by mistake and the phone is confused? Otherwise I have no clue why that would happen :/
I have them same problem. My phone is completely dead, won't turn on and a orange light comes on for 3 seconds and goes away and nothing happens. What do I need to do?
Sounds like your battery died. Pull the battery and let it sit for a few, then try to boot it back up and plug it in immediately.
I was reading a thread about this last night on RootzWiki. Dude did a lot of testing, came to find out it was ClockWorkMOD keeping a completely dead battery from charging at all. Is that the recovery you have? If so, I would put AmonRa on, try that.
Agreed, almost definitely a dead battery. You can try this:
1) Take out the battery and put it back in
2) Hold down power and volume down to enter the bootloader
3) Immediately plug the phone in and leave it there for 10 minutes or so
4) Reboot the phone now that you have enough power to make it through booting
This should work as long as your battery is completely dead.
My suggestion for the future though is to buy an external charger and a second battery. That's what I did, and now any time I accidentally let my battery die I just swap it out and I'm good to go at 100% while the other one recharges. Also an external charger is the easiest way to fix this if your battery is too dead for the above method.

Also, remember that if you are using Clockwork Recovery for some reason that makes the phone not charge when its powered down. I had the similar issue where i couldnt get it to charge or come on at all, i put in a battery from my TBolt and it turned right on, switched Recovery to Amon Ra (Blue one, not the Red one) and from there it charged no problem!
worked...

this worked for me! thank you!! also to come to think of it, the problem happened after installing clockworkmod recovery. so there certainly seems to be a connection

This absolutely helped me! I'm really liking this Rezound I picked up but the damn thing is also just very temperamental in general. Still a fantastic underrated device overall though.
My wifes d2g did that once. I ended up taking an old charger, stripping the ends off and taping it to the contacts on the battery for 30 minutes. It charged it up and after that it would charge thru the phone again. A lot cheaper than a new battery.

so my phone got wet.. probably something was spilled over it or something...
anyway it shut down immediately (obvious)
i've opened the battery and pulled it out and i had water there.. i've dried it with a napkin as best as i could and power it on.. id didnt work
i've tried to plug it in the charger (probably shouldnt but was in panic heh) and i got the boot logo and the battery showed 5 precent.. i've waited a couple of minutes and it went up and up.. then i booted the phone... everything worked fine.. thought it was over and all was good.
then after 30 minutes or so i've unpluged the phone and after maybe 5 minutes it shut down (battery showed like 30 precent)
anyway.. i've then dried it some more with a hair drier but still the phone didnt boot
every time i connect the charger it shows 5% but doesnt move from it.. always on 5%..
When plugged in i can try to boot up but i see the M logo and after a few seconds it shuts down, nothing happens
I also can enter recovery or RSD or all the things...
What can i do?? is that the battery thats faulty? or the phone is gone? what can i try??
Well you have probably ended up frying something by turning it on while it was wet. I think you should let it dry out completely and then try to boot it up. If it still doesn't boot its a goner.
Google ways how to dry it. One way is to put it in a bag of rice for 2 days.

Towards the right of the SIM card, there is a whole in the plastic that has a moisture indicator spot, if that is white, then things are goodish, but if it is red??? then you may be in bad shape. Also, on the underside of the battery, there is another indicator, it should be mostly white with red + all over it, however if it is all red??? then the batter may be a goner. However, electronics these days are protected from some type of moisture, so it may just be still wet on the inside and may just need to be dried up.
To dry up electronics, as mentioned, a bag of dry rice is a great moisture sucker. Otherwise if you have an abundance of silica gel packets laying around, you can toss the phone into a container with those and let them sit for a few days.
However, you did you a hair drier, to that I say good luck. That kind of direct intense heat is horrible for most electronics, there is a very good chance you have destroyed some other internal component, and you probably won't be using your ATRIX any longer.
The issues you are running into are hardware related and the fact you can power on the phone at all surprises me. If you have a warranty plan that supports water damage, you can try reaching out to them and see what they want to do to help you, but considering you blasted a hair dryer at it, I would be very surprised.
take the battery, sim, sdcard, etc out and put in dry rice.
You plugged it into the charger, so game over imo. Whether it turns on or not you have damaged it. Better to cut your losses and look for a new phone. Done it myself.

Thanks for the replies.. An update for the situation..
I've waited more for the phone to dry and rest and then my girlfriend (her phone actually) started to mess with it and somehow turned it on and it actually works now.
The spot near the sim is white but the spot on the battery is totally red..
Now the strange thing is that the phone indicator shows that there is 5 percent left but when I looked at the battery voltage it showed 4196.. In the morning I checked the voltage and it was 4100 and the indicator showed 1%..
What's up with that??
Is the battery ruined? Or something else? Im going to buy a new one anyway but still...

You may have got lucky and just ruined the battery. Watch for corrosion on the connectors in the phone for battery, sim, and sdcard. That may be the next problem if a new battery works out.

I had a minor incident the other night, whereby the (USB) end of my power charger got water on it. I dried it off instantly as best as I could. The phone itself has not come into contact with any water.
It still charged the phone fine... however after removing the charger at 100% the phone continued to say charging. I turned it off and removed the battery for some time. Upon putting the battery back in, the display showed the charging animation again even though it wasn't plugged in. At this point it wouldn't even turn on.
After multiple attempts I managed to get it switched on. But even now, 2 days later after a couple more charges, it still says it is charging when it isn't. The battery % is also depleting a lot quicker than normal.
I tried a factory reset, wiping and installing a new version of the AOKP ROM I use which fixed the issue temporarily... but as soon as I try charging it again, the charging animation won't go away. This happens even with a different charger all together or a USB cable.
Any ideas on fixing this, or is it time to claim on my insurance? Thanks!
may b the enternal is still not dried , actually wen wet its best to dry it in rice bag for a day or atleast 16,20 hrs then clean an use a sylte warm or cold blow so the moist drys out...so first open the back cover,battery ,sim,sd card an let the phone dry properly..cheeeerz
Thanks but as I say, the phone itself never got wet. Literally a minor amount got on the charger... not sure it is worth drying out a phone that never got wet?
but the end of the usb port is wet right so dont do the charging thing jus use a blow dryer let the thing dry out ,i had dropd my phone in luke warm water of bucket ,i removed it an took out battry,cover and kept in rice bag water was all inside cause wen i checked by shaking it ,i could see water coming then i used a blow dryer an dried it but i had kept it rice for hmmm i think only 2,3 hrs ...but i dint on it for 6hrs like tht....then the next day i powered it an all was fine ..accept the speaker at the back but i used a app tht was supposed to clean speaker,well i don kno weater it got well on its own or the app....well thts my story...m8
be careful with the hairdryer though i know people who have melted plastic drying with a hairdryer xD
did you actually found a way to fix it? i have this problem. and i havent been able to fix it.
Also my PC wont recognize the phone.
Try to clean the usbport. If it doesnt work it needs to be replaced. Its fairly easy and cheap.
Theres guides on youtube.
Well i didnt follow a guide on youtube i just opened it used a toothbrush and alcohol and after with a bottle of suter and it kinda worked, the computer recognizes it but the charging thing is still on.
Im gonna check out the youtube videos.
Thanks!

Water got into my phone(obviously) and I tried turning it on because of water resistance. It didn't respond. So I tried charging it. Tell my why the phone's battery screen flashed? NVM that, I tried the ol' bag full of rice trick. I left it there for about 12 hours. I tried again, and I got into recovery, but with a reddish tint. Well, I tried re-installing my ROM, hoping that it was an easily fixable issue. When the rom was installing, I unplugged my phone, instant power off. And my phone was at 100% before the install. I panicked, and knowing that I had to use my phone soon, I did probably the stupidest move ever, and put it on AN ELECTRIC HEATER. I left it there for 5 minutes, because that heater gets so hot that the air in my whole house is dry after ~30 minutes. Now sometimes when I turn it on, if the charger isn't in, the apps initialize, then power off, other times I get nothing. If I put the charger in, I sometimes get a white-ish triangle with a red thermometer(I'm guessing temperature warning?) and sometimes the battery flashes periodically. Please help, because of family health problems I need to be able to use my phone.
EDIT***: Phone WILL turn on now, condensation on both cameras, and battery temp too low to charge, so now there's a broken thermometer.

This phone is not water resitant. So trying to turn it on, before it dried completely was not that great of an idea. You could still have someone disassemble it, clean the board in alcohol and replace the battery. I think you just overheated the battery and you might have several shorts on your "mainboard". So please stop using it, until someone cleaned the board at least in some isopropanole or even better isoprop in an ultrasonic device. Dont just throw it in completely, but the "mainboard" only.
