Hi,
Can someone please help me?
Everytime I remove the battery from my XDA2 and install it again on it, the device starts to install all the files again (like a hard reset). When I checked the internal second battery it was 100% working an full!!
Anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
Please help
Thanks

The above link has some read you might find useful.
The red battery lock is also a limit switch Bro - so the next time before removing the battery make sure it's pulled all the way back.
When the battery is removed (as long as you did not put it back):
1. Beware of the red plastic switch: never push it up
2. Never put the battery cover back
In any of the above situations, the device may perform a hard reset, removing all your data and installed software!
Always insert the battery back in its place before touching the red switch or putting back the cover.
Thanks for the replies.
I did push down the red tab, inserted my SIM and put the battery back, pulled the red tab up and restored. It did a hard reset. Afterwards, when I push the power button off and turn it on again, it does a hard reset and install all the files all over again!!! Any ideas?
Thanks again

I have a strange problem for 2 days The JAM HardReset Itself when i press power bottom or keiep it for around hour
I try to flash the rom 1.12 several times and i still have the problem
any idea please
I Mate JAM
ROM 1.12
Make sure your power button hasn't become jammed in some way. Also be sure to only press the reset button with the stylus for a few seconds in order to conduct a soft reset. The reset button could also be jammed.
What do you mean by "keep it around hour"?
Thank you for reply
1. After you install a fresh ROM, don't install anything else.
2. Remove the battery lid and make sure everything looks ok (there's a power button in there, reacting when you remove the lid).
3. Remove the SIM card and refit the lid, making sure it is 100% into place.
4. Pull the SD card and power up your device.
If you still have problems, chances are that it's hardware related and you will need the help of a service centre.
Good luck!
My JAM is second hand I open it and find a liquid probem I bought a cleaning spray I cleaned it

Thank you HBK and Triband81 very much for reply
Good to hear that you were able to track down that problem .
Enjoy your PPC
I know this is a bit of an old phone now, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help...
When I switch the phone on, it gets to the Windows Mobile screen and then just hangs. After a few minutes, it turns itself off.
So far, I've tried the following;
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. Remove battery, put on charge (red light), replace battery (amber light), hard reset
4. Removed battery for 2 weeks
5. Praying
6. Swearing
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thx

Hi
You could try starting the device in bootloader in order to re-flash the ROM, or flash a new ROM. Methods for this are:
1) Press the soft reset hole button whilst holding camera button fully in.
2) Remove the battery, then re-insert it and switch the device on by pressing the power button but again ensuring the camera button is depressed fully.
3) Remove the battery and re-insert it. Don't switch the device on but plug it into a Windows PC using a USB cable whilst, you guessed it, depressing the camera button.
If you can get into bootloader (three coloured screen with some yellow writing) then you can probably reflash the device. It sounds like a software problem not a hardware problem but I could be wrong on that.
If you can't get the device into bootloader mode you have a problem that is more complicated to fix, about which I can't advice.
Best wishes

Hi,
Thanks for the reply....I couldn't get your method to bring up the bootloader to work, but tried pressing Power and OK while doing a soft reset.
This brought up a screen with 4 horizontal bars - red, green blue & white. Text at the top says;
HERM100 (text in white)
IPL-1.01
HERM100 (text in yellow)
SPL-1.04
In the white bar is the word 'Serial'
Does this sound right?
Then it just hangs on this screen - is there something else I am supposed press on the phone, or do I do something via my laptop with activesync etc?
Sorry for the additional questions, but I've never had to do this before.
Thanks
An update....
After noticing that 'No GSM' appears on the splash screen, I have now found this page which I think might answer my questions.
I'll have a go at this tonight
Reposted in the Hermes thread
I was using my phone today and put it in the pocket of my jacket. An hour or so later when i took it out it was off. When i tried to turn it back on it just stuck on the first SFR splashscreen and has never moved past it. I've tried removing the battery, removing the SD card, hard reset ,removing the Sim card, removing the battery but with the power cable. None of which worked.
No New software installed recently.
Any Ideas anyone?
Any suggestions very much appreciated

Hi,
I got my HTC HD2 only a couple of weeks ago, and I already got a problem with it
The thing is, that I can't boot it up properly; when pressing the "Turn on/Turn off/hang up"-buttom, it boots by comin' up with the white screen with the green "HTC"-logo in the middle and some system information in the left buttom.
Afterwards the animation with "quietly brilliant" comes up and the Windows logo with the orange background comes up - and then it turns off and boots up again.
I've tried to...
* reset it (not hard reset - I have some contacts that I don't wanna loose).
* charge it up (I can, when the windows-logo appears, see, that the battery's full)
* pull out the battery for several hours
Please help - I'm very sad about that I used tons of money on a device, that now won't work.
Is there any way, where I can solve the problem without loosing all my contacts?
I did it!
Ok, found out that all my contacts were synch'ed with my gmail.
I hard-resetted it, and it works now.
Thanks for your help
Lol well done!
For people that dont have push/exchange contacts etc, always backup using myphone, spb, sprite or other software.
Cant tell you enough how important it is to back up, unless you like loosing everything right?
Greetz.
Boot problem..
Hello there,
I bought my HTC HD2 like 2 months ago, and the first two days it froze like thrice !
Now, suddenly i find it turned off then when i try to boot it up, it get stuck on the white screen with the green "htc" and information in red to the bottom left. It hangs there!
It did later show the following black screen with white text:
"The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tired to install an application from untrusted source. Press Volume Up to reset your decice or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to it's factory settings"
but the thing is, i can't press anything at this stage, nothing happens....
I did try to hardware reset, charge, remove battery and put back, etc..

You tried:
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
If that dont work try flashing a new rom using mtty.
If that still doesnt work I would expect it to be a hardware problem, i would send it back to htc or if without warranty take it to a Phoneshop (or open yourself), probably a wires loose or something.
Thank you for replying... but sadly no, it didn't work
I do have warranty, ill take care of that..
Thank you again.
did hard reset and returned to factory settings. all my installed applications were lost. pity.
All I wanted is to install the @#$%% russian keyboard!
ALWAYS backup first. Simple.

If its brand new out of the box, id take it back and get a different one. If its second hand, see if you can get into bootloader. If you can you can then flash a stock htc rom, if not its back to the shop.

Hi All,
I've recently updated my Desire S to CM10.1 using a ROM off here --> [ROM][XXYYYZZ][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1.
Everything has been running fine until I found the "Simulate Secondary Displays" button under Developer Options and decided it would be cool to see what it does...
The kicker:
a) Screen is now stuck exactly where it was on the Developer Options prior to selecting a screen resolution
b) Holding down power button for any period of time does nothing
c) Holding down Volume up + Volume down + Power for any period of time does nothing
d) The computer recognizes the phone as it makes it's lovely "new device found" sound, but stupidly, at some point I've disabled USB debugging so can't use adb to reboot as it returns authorisation error (The authorisation option doesn't pop-up on device screen as it's frozen).
I've read about this exact problem happening on other phones after selecting this option but they all seem to be able to use either b) or c) to get back to bootloader to reflash the ROM.
So, my question: if I let the battery die, what are my chances? I've read myself out of pulling the battery due to eMMC issues. Unfortunately the damn battery was mostly full so could take a long while to drain :S
Thanks!
So let the battery die (takes about a day), boot to recovery, wipe data (or figure out where this setting is stored and delete the relevant file), no problem. I don't see the issue here.
Pulling the battery out doesn't cause eMMC issues. The problem is caused if you pull the battery out and then put it straight back in. Remove the battery, leave it out for a minute or so and then put it back in and manually boot into recovery.

Ah, that's interesting. Is there any reference material available to explain why that is the case? What is physically happening here?

Apologies, it wasn't a particularly open question. It was more out of frustration that there is an option available that will always freeze the phone when it isn't supported on the device.
I let it die then used recovery to clear cache and davlik cache and booted fine until freezing on the "Optimising apps" screen. Let it die again, clear all data, clear cache, clear davlik cache, restore nand successfully.... Boots to HTC then black screen, no response to anything, same as when it first froze.
EDIT:
Repeat same process but clear cache and davlik cache after nand restore... black screen, no response. Cant even tell if it is actually doing anything. Charge light doesnt come on when plugged into pc whilst on black screen.
All I can think of now is flash the CM10.1 ROM again or maybe restoring the original nand from before CM10 but will have to be after work. Is this behavior indicative of a larger (potentially physical) problem?!

From what I remember - there was some in-depth discussion on one of our threads about 18 months ago - the actual cause is that re-inserting the battery while the circuitry is discharging causes a spike which can be high enough to blow the eMMC.
Just to let you know, reflashed CM10.1 ROM and all is well in the world again Thanks guys for replying!
However, NAND restore did not work. As the NAND backup is supposed to be the be-all and end-all for phone recovery, should I be concerned this failed?
