Hi I just recently bought an HTC HD2 and I got it used. I checked out the phone pretty well and it worked fine when I purchased it. I got home and the battery was dying and eventually died before I got a chance to charge it. So I left it on the charger, the LED light came on and was flashing as if it was charging so I went out for a bit. Once I came back I noticed the LED wasn't on anymore so I tried to start up the phone and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took out the battery and put it back in still nothing. I've even tried using a different battery and still have the same results. I talked to T-mobile and they said to try going into boot mode by powering up holding both volume keys and the power button and I cant get it to start up at all. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?

When battery is charging the LED does not flash. Normally it just lights in orange. Are you sure that the second battery you used was well charged? Take a tester and measure the voltage on the battery pads - it must show some 3.8 volts. You may check also if your battery is charging on some other phone to confirm that it is healthy before to decide that phone is dead.

just shows what tmo customer support know, , , thats a hard reset they've described, not entering bootloader.
Ok so on my lunch break I went to the t-mobile store and told them my problem, for some reason they were able to get my phone to somewhat charge and start up. So its for sure the battery. I have no idea why the secondary battery I used had no effect on the phone. After work I'm going to go find a new battery and hopefully this will solve the problem. I'll keep you guys posted.
winner!

hi my htc amaze 4g tmobil wont boot unless connected to usb (charging). my phone was rooted using Hasson tool. everything was working fine. i left bootloader unlocked.
here is what happen. my phone took a dive into a soup . i left it for a few days , then i try to turn it on. it looked as if it was on a boot loop. after reading on the internet they advice forfactory reset. after playing with my phone for a few days this is want happends
at the beginning it was on boot loop .then i connected to computer and when i reboot it it reboot back to boot loader.
i locked boot loader and my phone was able to boot normally, it works im able to make and receive calls. but when i remove it from charging it shuts down. if phone is not connected to usb (charging) it stays in boot loop. i already try 2 different batteries. and batteries take charge. i was looking on the forums for similar problems and i found this is a different phone but problems is the same, i dont really understand the solution but i hope will help some1 give some advice .

maybe your battery can no longer hold a charge, if you droped it into soup, maybe it got partly shorted out ?

He didn't mean the battery got shorted out, he meant that the PHONE may have shorted out. I think you need to send it in to HTC for repair. It most likely needs a new motherboard. It's really hard on electronics when they get immersed in liquid.

thanks for the reply and the explanation. i bought the phone used so i dont have warranty. might as well start thinking about another phone. again thanks for the reply i was about to buy a new battery you save me afew bucks.
Walking out of work yesterday, I swapped my dying battery for my freshly charged one, and powered up the phone. I see the Samsung logo pop up, and then the CyanogenMod wheel start spinning, so I slip it in my pocket. I pull it out a couple of minutes later to check something, and the screen is black. I press the power button a few more times, and the Samsung logo shows up again. Apparently my phone was off. So I wait on it to boot up, but it never leaves the Samsung logo. It sits, and sits, and sits...for a good 30-45 seconds, it sits on that screen. And then it goes black. I try again, but nothing happens. I switch back to the dying-but-not-dead battery, still nothing. I leave it to sit on the seat of the car with no battery for the drive home, and try again. Nothing. I leave it to sit on the charger for a couple of hours, both with and without a battery. Nothing. I leave it "charging" overnight. It's warm in the morning, but still nothing. I can pull the battery and put it back in, hit the button, and a little while later it will heat up, as if it's running and something's hitting the CPU...but no vibrations from the phone, no sounds, no anything at all, other than the heat. I tried my jig just now, as it was in my desk at work. More nothing. The phone is cold, the battery is cold, it might as well be a rock.
So...any chance of saving this thing? I'm really hoping to hold out for Black Friday sales to replace it with an S4 or something. If I can get this thing to last me another two months, I'll be happy. If it goes belly up November 30, that's fine. I just hope I can make it last until then. I already had to throw down $50 to get my wife a limp-along phone off Craigslist...am I going to be stuck doing the same for me?
First see if you can boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. If not, see if you can get into download mode. If you can, flash back to stock and see if that lets it boot. In any event, you should perform a wipe data/factory reset at the earliest possible moment, even if you have to reflash the firmware first. If you can get back to stock, you should be able to reinstall your custom firmware.
So far I can't convince it to acknowledge that it's even on. The only sign it's not 100% dead is that it warms up when plugged in. I have no idea if it's actually doing anything other than sending juice to the battery because there's nothing on the screen and no vibrations or sound to alert me that it's doing anything at all.
:-/
I'll add that my computer doesn't acknowledge the phone's existence. Linux desktop, lsusb shows nothing remotely Android/Samsung related. Granted, a failing microUSB port on the phone isn't helping, so I don't know how valid this particular test is.
So u are in the need to enter the fast boot mode or else try the official firmware installation by the help of SD card.....
Hit thanks if this helped you...

...could you explain either of those? Fastboot, from what I can tell, is an HTC thing, and has nothing to do with Samsung phones in general nor the i777 in particular. As for firmware installation, is there a way to do this without any screen, PC connection, or feedback from the phone whatsoever?

Some Samsung phones have fast boot. I think the S4 does. The I777 does not.
If you can get the phone into download mode, (and if your usb connection is working, which I think from what you said may be in question,) then you can use the Samsung tool, Odin3, to flash firmware. You would have to use a Windows computer since Odin does not work on Linux.
I think your main problem is that you have a failing USB port. You should consider buying a replacement and putting it in yourself. It is supposed to be fairly easy. Once you have that working, you should be able to recover your phone.
Could it be possible that whatever it was trying to run drained the battery and now it's just refusing to charge? I had almost an exact same situation happen to me. I ended up having to buy a cheapo external battery charger from amazon to charge the battery and finally get it to boot.

Sadly, download mode doesn't seem likely. The phone is basically functionally a rock, with the limitation that it's probably easier to break than a rock. I may venture down the replacement USB road, although I'm a bit leery of spending money on the device, given that it won't even power on.

That's what I initially suspected, but I actually have a Samsung charger I bought off Amazon that came with a spare battery, and I've charged both batteries with it to full capacity. What does appear to be happening is that when it's generating heat, it's actually discharging the battery rather than charging, as a battery pulled from the phone takes much longer to charge on the external charger than one that has been charged from the charger, pulled, let sit, and put back in the charger. It's possible the phone refuses to power on until it can charge, though, because I too have had that issue in the past, and the only solution was to let it sit on the charger for a few hours. The first half-hour or so, nothing happened, but then eventually I'd get the battery charge animation. Sadly, letting the phone sit overnight did nothing this time around.

The phone doesn't power on. If I plug it in, it gets warm, but other than that, it shows no signs of life.
You've tried plugging it into the computer without battery in case power button went dead?

Hey guys, I just did an update last night, the update was around 330mb, then I drained my phone completely, charged it, then fell asleep, when i woke up, I removed the charger, and the phone won't turn on. Tried pressing all 4 buttons, tried going to recovery, safe mode, and every other combination of buttons, but the phone won't turn on or even go to the samsung logo or blink or anything. Even if I connect it to the laptop, nothing happens. Screen is off, but even when it is not attached to anything, the phone is hot. Which means it is technically on? I'm thinking of letting it drain til it runs out of battery then recharge it?
Anyone? I tried all combinations, nothing makes it work, not even make the led blink, no vibration. Also, i tried charging it for a few hours, it just gets warm but no charging icon or anything.
Does it get recognized in Odin? You may be able to fix it by reflashing stock

I'll try later. I still don't have odin. But that would probably be my last resort. I don't want to lose all my stuff.
Bu the way, my phone is all stock, no root.
OK so I kept the phone charging and now I tried turning it on, nothing, but the blue LED came on.
Now the blue light is off again.
Trya computer to see if it is recognized. If so, just copy your entire folder from your phone, try to Odin, then if successful copy over your files

I have never connected it to my laptop before so it may not have the drivers? But the laptop does not read it. Kies does not see it. Now i borrowed a friend's wireless charger but he said he thinks something is wrong with this charger cus it charges, now i put the phone on top, the charger shows a blue light but phone is not responding to it.

Tried that. It doesn't work. Oh and now that i tried charging with a wireless charger and still same thing, i guess i can safely conclude it's not the port. Maybe i need to try a charger with higher amps to try and wake it up?
Is it possible that the update does not allow the use of chargers that or not originally for the unit? And i used a samsung slow charger that night after the update, so the whole night the phone tried blocking the current and ended up frying the diode/resistor? Or maybe since i drained it to 0% it went to deep deep sleep?

Open odin, plug in phone and a box on odin will go blue and will say com 3 or something. If that doesn't work try smart switch

I think it didn't show anything when i did. I will check again later.
Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?
Would it help if i charge it using a 3.4A charger for a few hours? Maybe that will wake up the battery? Technicians say that because it got to 0% it might have been fully drained and unable to recharge, what they usually do is direct charge a battery but in the case of the s6 edge it's not that easy to do since you have to take it apart...

This is possible, I had the same issue with an iPhone and I had to open the case and charge it externally
Anyone have any other suggestions? I would probably bring it to the service center on monday, but I think if i have it serviced, they will just forward it to another city since I don't think they do repairs in mine.

Official samsung charger should be enough to get it charging and working. Service centre sounds best option
Hi everyone.
I have been using V30+ since 2018. Never had any issues with it.
Yesterday I put my phone on charging when it showed the battery low notification. and after around an hour I saw the screen blinked as if the phone has restarted folloed by the boot animation.. but right after that it turned off.
I just got worried so unpluged it quickly.
tried turning it on again n again but nothing happend.
replugged it after 30mins now it display the message and doesn't go beyond 0%. The area around fingerprint and camera lense get very hot in almost 30sec upon replugging the charger.
I don't knoe what do to do now need help.
Try a different charger. Yours may be bad. Even a slow charger from an older phone would be a good test.
Tried the fast charger no luck.. when using Laptop or power th screen shows CHARGE more before turning on. Mean while the back gets really Hot.
Tried wireless charging as well.still no luck
I am having the same issue. Anyone solved this problem yet?
It's a very old thread, so you probably won't get any answers quickly. That being said, did you try an older charger? Chances are, your battery is totally dead and won't hold a charge anymore... these phones are older so that is a higher likelyhood...

Failed charging port pcb or mobo.
Try replacing the charge port pcb, they are cheap but make sure to get the correct part number.
