Edit: Before you proceed, let me make clear the problem is already fixed!
Hey,
I'm terribly sorry to dilute this forum with this thread, but I really need some help over here.
Let's start of with some information about my phone. Obviously, it's a DHD and I've had it since november. It's been rooted (radio S-Off ENG H-Boot SuperCID etc.). I proceeded to install revolution HD, then CM7 and a phew tweaked CM7 mods. About 2 weeks ago, I also flashed LordModHD kernel with an undervoltscript (UUV). I tried PUV, but my phone would freeze, so I sticked with UUV. It never felt extremely hot, so there was no indication that my DHD was on the edge of failure.
I don't know if the following is relevant, but I'll post it anyway:
Everything worked fine, untill a phew days ago. I tried flashing the original CM7, instead of [email protected], but whenever it rebooted, launcherpro would force close. So I was forced to do a data wipe and start from scratch. Although this did work, I couldn't get titanium back-up to install. Everytime I tried to install it, my phone would reboot.
This didn't work out for me, so I decided to do a nandroid. Now my phone was back to normal. Actually, everything worked like it should, except for Gmail. Gmail would leave my read messages "unread", which was a bit annoying but didn't seem like such a problem.
Now the following is important:
Today I woke up to my alarm (which is my DHD) and I set it to snooze a couple of times. Then I decided to wake up and leave my DHD on the charger and go eat breakfast. Now a few hours later I came back to my DHD to read any new messages, only to find out it wouldn't wake up. I instantly panicked and tried every button combination I could think of. When I came to realize none of them worked, I decided to pull out my battery and put it back in, but still nothing happened. I tried this a few times, wiping the battery and blowing in every corner of my DHD. Sadly, none of these things would have any effect.
What can I do now, besides tell Vodafone to replace my DHD with a new one?
Tl;dr: Rooted my DHD months ago; it stopped working this morning. What do?

isn't your battery dead? or youre charger? did you try to load it from a usb on a computer?
Well, that could be the problem. I used to get 60 hours out of one charge. Yesterday I put it in the charger and also used the wifi hotspot function. It dropped 5 percent in those few hours, but I just figured the hotspot function would cause a massive battery drain. Yesterday I put it in the charger at 7%, which is very unusual for me. I almost never consume 93% on one day, but again, I figured it was from the use of the hotspot function.
I plugged it in my computer now, but it still won't show any sign of life.
Try another battery, try another charger, try turning on the charger (i know this has happened to me) Try twisting the head of the charger completely into place as this can stop the charger from getting through, try using simply the usb cable plugged into a pc / mac.
Chances are this will thread will get deleted or moved, try to keep it in the Q+A area in future, if you get it working then let ppl know so it can be removed.
Good luck.
EDIT: You can grab a cheap battery from amazon for like £6 i got one and it lasts the same as the normal DHD one, it says it's 1600mah but i doubt it is, infact i'm sure it's not.

or your dhd charging point (the micro usb) is faulty then it wouldn't charge either
Now that I've had some more time to think about it, I think the battery is indeed out of juice. It had 7% left last night, so that might have just been enough to get through the night and wake me up. But when I got to get breakfast, it must have died on me.
Now if this hypotheses is right, I just need to figure out how to get charged again.
I use the regular charger, so there is no on/off button (for as far as I can see). There are 3 components that might have failed on me:
-The charger that gets plugged in to the powernet.
-The cable that connects my DHD to the charger.
-My battery
-Micro-usb connection
I've connected it to my computer now and it still doesn't work. So we can safely asume that the charger is not the problem here.
Now how would I be able to check wether it's my battery or cable that has failed me? I have no spare cables or battery.
I could go up to the Vodafone shop and ask them to replace one of these two and see if it works. Does anyone have a better idea?
Btw, if this thread really violates the rules, feel free to move it before I get my question, but please don't delete it. You've been a great help so far, let's get my DHD running again.
Edit: OMG it just flashed a little when I tried moving around the cable. I suppose I somehow wrecked the cable in the past few days.
I guess there's no other option than to get a new cable from Vodafone.
Edit2: Yay, it works once again. I can't seem to reproduce the problem, but there's definately something wrong with one of the components that compose my juicepump.
I'll figure out what component to replace myself, thx for the help guys.
Mod's can delete this thread now.

Made my day, love it
I'm glad it seems to be fixable. I'd hate to have gone through all of that reading for nothing. Post a pic of a juicepump when you find one, just so we know.
Try checking the contacts of the cable. It is possible that it was a faulty product, just as my cable. Stable contact was missing just inside the microUSB plug. If you like mending stuff, you can try to locate the flaw by flexing the cable and checking the contact with a neede, if you don't... well, a cable is cheap compared to a new handset

GReetings,
So I have searched for a lot of forums to see if there is an answer to this.
So the story goes. I got myself a new phone and put the TP2 in a drawer. After moving, I have a reason to pull it out and get it ready to be used again. However, it wont turn on.
So I figure the battery went dead. I plug it into the charger, the LED lights up, and got to wait a few minutes. After a minute or so, the white HTC screen suddenly comes on the screen, it vibrates one quick, and shuts off again.
I cant power it up, I can get it to boot loader. Really not sure what the problem is here.
Any ideas suggestions would be welcome as I want to put this one back to stock so I can send it to my step-kid for use.
Try charging it for a few hours, while it is closed. If the phone regularly reboots and then switches off, leave it that way.
The idea is to charge the battery enough, so as the phone boots.
had the same prob the other day
what helped here was:
remove the battery and let it out of the phone for a couple of hours (i did it at night). had the battery removed for about 8 hours. put it back in and it worked for me again.
give it a try and let me know!
Ok will try that tonight when I'm heading for bed. Ill leave it to charge while I'm at work because I get tired of hbearing it vibrate every 20 seconds while its charging

Did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem. I posted in another thread that had the same problem as you.
Maybe HTC really is pushing an auto kill program.

Unfortunately, it didnt work. I think the phone was probably dropped one too many times and is broken. I cant get it to boot, cant even get into the bootloader. So I have no idea.

I also had the same problem I took out the battery and blew on it to get it to cool down and had it sit out of the phone for 10-15mins then put it in the phone and plugged into charger and left it for 30mins then hit the power button.
This reboot cycle happens when my phone dies in android and it works every time for me.
Hope that helps
for future reference, the phone died with a Sim card in it, revived when a Sim card was replaced.

yesterday I had the same problem, boot loader doesn't work. But.... I charged my battery, replaced it, pushed Vol. down + EndCall btn. + Power btn and inserted battery. As a result my boot loader is working now. But after running task 29 and flashing custom firmware my phone doesn't came back alive. I'm looking for solution now. Did anybody have the same problem?
When I'm flashing original firmware the process stops on checking my phone.
Please, give me advice how to solve my problem. Thx.

First off it looks like you are not Hard SPLed so custom ROMs will be a problem for you. Second you have a major error with your keyboard and touch screen. I have a TP2 that took a dip into some water that has the same error - MircoP(LED) Wrong Plat(0x0) and MicroP(KEY) Wrong Plat(0x0). When I first got the phone it would not turn on but would make a noise that sounded like it was crying. I got another TP2 that works fine and swapped the top halfs of the phones because the new one looked like a dog chewed on it. It still worked but in real bad shape. The touch screen that got wet works fine so it is on the TP2 that I use all the time. The wet TP2 will now start up but the keyboard, all of the front buttons but the end key, and touch screen don't work. The touch screen will only register getting touch in one spot. So if you have a software keyboard up only the t will be hit. I Hard SPLed it, ran task 29, and installed a custom rom on it. I have to use My Mobiler to do anything with it. It also will take a battery that has a full charge and drain it to about 50% in about 20 minutes and then claim the battery is dead even on a charger. Something to play with.
With the error you have unless you got it wet you might have a bad flex cable. I would try to fix the error first before trying to change roms.
Thank you for answer.
My phone was HardSPLed and flashed by custom firmware and works fine for half a year. The reason for my situation was broken charger... I think that problem in hardware when I put it on charge, my phone lightly flashed by orange lamp and became can't turn on
You are told that it is looks like it doesn't hacked because I tried to roll it back to original.
Are you sure the phone did not get wet? Everything you describe makes it sound like the phone took a dip. If not, try plugging it into a computer and see if it will charge and turn on.
I resolved my problem krekol, you are right at 100%!!! I took my phone from work-shop and they told me that some water get there, or it was just condensate. As a result oxidation around microphone and some connections.
Now, my phone works fine on WM 6.1 (they flashed it) and somewhy I can't flash Jackos S3 JackFULL 1.7.0. and Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3 too
maybe it is effects of oxidation.... I'm trying flash from my flash-card.

You can only HSPL once. If they (or you) relocked the device, you won't be able to unlock it again unless you can get Olipro/cmonex to take pity on you.
Glad I could help. Here is a small warning. Once a phone gets wet it's days are numbered. You might have a week, a month, or a year but the phone will die. I would plan ahead for the phone to die and keep an real close eye on it.

My phone has been acting weird lately. Just want to see what the consensus is. phone battery drains ok until I turn on A gps program will be about 90% battery gps will be on for about 5 minutes the phone shuts off restart and battery reads 40%. Then the phone keeps dying. Any thoughts im assuming its the battery but you all might know something i dont.
P.s. The phone is stock rom tilt 2
Thanks
That sounds like battery to me, but that doesn't mean there isn't also an issue with the phone...
If any of your buddies has an EVO or another TP2 (I can't remember what other batteries would work right now...) that you could try in your phone to rule that out?
If not, batteries aren't that expensive. I wouldn't go for the absolute cheapest on ebay either, find something that's got a brand name...
Thank you, a quick add on as to why it may not be the battery. I could'nt type it all out earlier because I was on my gfs phone.
I was away from a charger so just left it off for about 4 hours. Started it out of habit now its showing 80% after no charging. I also didn't mention Ive done a hard reset on it still get the same issue, everything is fine wi-fi for extended periods talking texting but as soon as I use gps it shuts down in about 3 minutes.
This is also a new issue and I have not recently added anything to my phone.
Edit: Update again tried to make a call and it died.. Ill take the suggestions and get a new batt.

You could also try a hard reset, flash a different ROM, etc.
Thanks for keeping on the thread, Tried the hard reset, the rom is what came with the phone never done a different one
New Battery is on the way. Something is screwy with it but we shall see.. If its not the battery I suppose Ill need to start looking for a replacement or an upgrade. Thank you for your input on the subject.
I can't seem to find any information on this issue.
I charge the battery fully on my external charger and then when I put it in my Inspire it shows red with no battery charge then shuts down. When I power it on with the usb plugged in then the battery shows full and I can unplug it. If I power it off then back on it then shows empty again, even if I quick plug in the usb. I have 3 backup batteries and this happens with 2 of them. All of the batteries worked fine until this started happening. I just rebooted with the usb plugged in and when I check the battery info on my ICS rom it shows 0%, charging (AC), 21s on battery. When I unplugged the usb and refreshed the battery info it now shows 99%, not charging, 3s on battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, my son's Inspire does not have this issue with the same batteries that i use so it has to be related to my phone.
This happens on my phone rom, Melcheizedek v2.1 and on one of my Boot Manager roms, Lords ICS v 7.4.
Thanks!
I dont know if this will help.
Try using a different stable Gb rom. If problem persists, power off, pull the battery out, put back the same battery, power on. If it still happens, try cleaning the battery connectors. In the past week or so in either this section or the inspire 4g (either the general or Q&A) someone explained how to clean them.
Edit: does the same problem happen in recovery? My guess is yes, regardless if it's software or a hardware prob.

I will try a GB rom today. I just completely reformatted and re-installed Melchizedek - AOSP ICS booted my phone and battery shows red, no charge. Reboot with usb connected to AC and full charge shows then when i unplug still full charge. When i am in recovery it shows battery --% for a few seconds then it changes to full.
Coffee still hasn't kicked in
In recovery it shows 100%. If you stay in recovery what happens?
Same problem? It discharges and then shuts down?
Can you use the battery cover from your sons cellphone?
Do you remember what you did when you first noticed the problem?
Insight to something that happened to me a few weeks back.
I was running a Gb miui rom, I installed a mod or something the device bootlooped. Erased everything, used my backup, but then the battery would discharge insanely fast. 3-5% per minute. From 80% it went down to 65%, rebooted, then it would show 76%. Wipped everything, installed a different stable rom, no apps whatsoever, same problem. I went into recovery, same issue in recovery, erased, (this part I'm a bit foggy) I believe the same thing happened in recovery with a formatted system.
Can't remember if I installed another rom or just went back to my backup.
Powered off the cell, swapped batteries with another phone, the issue was gone.
My assumption is that by pulling out the battery it solved the problem.
In your case, you already pulled out and tried several batteries. But they work in your sons cell. However, with several batteries it is unlickly (the spelling for that just seems wrong for some reason) to be a battery (just ranting to see where my mind goes).
Still waiting to know what happens in recovery.
If it happens with different roms, Im assuming you full wiped. Especially if you are running one from the collective and lord. You probably know more than I do
Try using a different battery cover if you can, and also try booting your cell without the sd card.
Try them seperately to see if either one works.
Hope something I said works, or at least gives you ideas to try something else.
Edit: I just re-read your initial post. It happens with two out of your three batteries. That's a tough one.
Whats the difference between the batteries? Does your sons battery work on your cell?
You can disregard cleaning the connectors - probably.
Or clean the connectors on the bats and the cover. Or try your sons bat connector with those batteries.
Could you re-phrase your initial post along with everything that has happened and what you have tried?

When I boot into recovery it initially shows no charge for maybe 20 - 30 seconds and then shows full (or whatever level the battery really is). The battery level stays normal then and works perfectly fine all the while I am in recovery.
I just rebooted with the battery I was using all day, it was plugged into a usb ac at work until about 3.5 hours ago, and it rebooted with a normal battery level, I rebooted again and it was normal again. I booted this same battery in the morning and it showed no charge but now it works fine. I then rebooted with a second battery and again it booted fine with full charge. I put in a third battery, this was the one it first happened on, and it booted with no charge. I put back in the battery I had in all day and it booted with normal charge again. I checked the bad battery and the good battery and both have about 4.2 volts.
When it happened the first time it was only with 1 battery, that was about a week ago. I just got 2 new batteries in the mail and one worked fine and the second booted up showing no charge like the other one. That was 2 days ago, since then every battery seemed to do it until now, I just checked 5 batteries and only the first bad one and the one new one that was bad don't work, weird.
It seems like the bad battery screwed up something in my phone but it's hard to believe that whatever it was would survive a system format. Now it seems to be working fine...I don't like things that fix themselves...
Well, if you have the time let's try troubleshooting the issue with only the bad batteries (as long as if you believe it to be software related only).
Keep in mind that I'm trying to help figure this out, and to keep bumping this thread until someone more knowledgeable joins in.
If its software, remove the sd card, format everything. Power off, remove the battery, while the battery is out press and hold the power button (hoping the cell works something like a pc) for 30s. Then install - I don't know - any rom? Load a few basic apps you use/need. See what happens with the bad battery.
You did say the bad battery does work in another cell?

I don't believe it's software related, I reformatted and re-installed the rom I was using and still had the issue. I have been using the same rom for a while with no issues. I'll check the 'bad' batteries on my son's phone tomorrow.
Edit: Booted normal this morning again, I think I can close this issue for now. I am a bit uncomfortable with not finding the root cause but at least it ended in my favor. Thanks for your input!
You are welcome. My next step was going to be to link your issue in another thread. Good luck.

Moving to Q&A
Try full wipe and reinstall ROM, if doesn't work flash another ROM. If doesn't work again, maybe it's problem whith battery controller, you would have to go to service centre
DHD
I had a similiar problem and it happened after i started playing with ICS DHD Roms. I downloaded a stock WWE sense 2 rom and flashed that. I then flashes the latest Stock WWE 2.5 Sense rom and all is still ok. Dunno if the stock flashing (through exe from PC) it was unrooted though. Fixed it but its fine now. So maybe try that.
Perhaps this may help.

Thanks for sharing my post on the Inspire forums, Teichopsia.
I'm convinced that there's something in the non-sense ROMS that doesn't get the battery charge % correctly immediately after booting. I'm having the same symptoms as the original poster is having. Two of my batteries are after market and two are HTC. The generic ones have the problem of registering 0% on reboot after swapping the batteries in. If you have them on the charger they work fine and show 100% after about 30 seconds. If you reboot with the same battery it's fine until you change to a different one. The latest ICS Rom I'm using has the problem with any reboot, even if the same battery is in. If I'm using real HTC batteries this problem doesn't manifest itself on Cyanogenmod or AOSP ROMs.
EDIT: I should clarify that the after market batteries fail on any reboot without the charger with the latest ICS ROM I'm trying, but the HTC batteries are fine.
I've had success with booting into recovery mode and wiping battery stats. This is not a permanent fix but is useful when you don't have access to a charger and need to swap batteries.
The full procedure is this: with phone off hold power and vol down, select recovery, advanced, wipe battery stats, yes, go back, reboot system now.
Bad battery I think. Ik had the same problem with a brand new, original battery.
Charged it fully with external charger, booted phone with it but showed 0% juice....
I had to boot with the charger plugged in, and then after booting it went to 100%
Send the battery back because this was not normal, recieved a new one and didn't have the problem.
btw I was on IceColdSandwich rom...
Im running ICS 4.0.4 aospX 1.0.0-MR1 on my HTC Inspire 4g with a Anker® 1600mAh Li-ion Battery For HTC Desire HD, Inspire 4G - White and had this problem initially.
The only way my phone would boot up was if it was plugged in, otherwise it would show a dead battery warning when the homescreen loaded, and then it would shutdown. If I booted it while plugged in, then disconnected the cable, then it would run off the battery just fine.
What I did to fix it was to shutdown the phone, take off the battery cover, removed the battery ( the Anker one), blew into the compartment to make sure there was nothing interfering with the connectors, wiped the battery's connectors with my finger, and then i replaced the Anker battery, pushed hard on it to make sure the connection was good, and booted the phone.
To my surprise, this actually seemed to fix the problem. Whatsmore, after I put the battery cover back in place, the phone continued to boot with no issue, meaning I did not have to push on the battery to make sure the nodes were connecting. I even shook the phone in my hand to see if this would loosen the battery connection, but it still booted fine.
I then took out the battery and replaced it to make sure it would still boot, and it did. Hope my solution works for you! Cheers!

Recently I posted about a problem others had as well - when under 50% ish battery, my HTC 10 would randomly reboot, and that would loop until it was plugged in.
Once plugged in and fully rebooted, the battery % reading would vary from where it was before to 1%. Also, certain apps' data or cache would be deleted. I would open, Macrodroid, for example, and it acts like it's the first time being opened after installation.
This has been exhausting, having to constantly be charging, staying above 60% - and even then it still happening. After it does, the apps whose data was cleared varied, and I wouldn't always know until I opened each.
So after this I dropped it and cracked the screen. I have fixed all of my HTCs before with various problems - M8, M7, DNA, Incredible, Max - so I decided to put in a new battery to hopefully fix the bootloop problem.
After watching a few disassembly videos, it seemed best to replace the screen when I opened it for the battery. So I ordered a screen, and waited more, constantly charging, restoring data to apps like Macrodroid and initializing apps all over again.
I finally have the new battery and screen. I have a few hours. I get out all my tools.
A few hours later, I have put it back together. It's like Medusa inside this thing! I was really being risky doing this last night, because I have a ton of work to do today, yet here I am typing this on my backup nexus 5x - so slow!
So the result? Success for the screen replacement, and the battery as well. But, now, it is bootlooping still! I plug it in, and two things:
Plugging it in does not stop the bootloop.
The charging LED does not light up.
So I am hoping someone may have some insight as to what I may not have connected properly. I can post pictures later, I'm not home right now.
I looked and looked and looked and cannot find where I went wrong. I am going to take it apart and put it back together if I can't find the error. Any ideas? Any other places I should post this?
I guess when I get home, assuming it has completely drained itself, I can plug it in, and see if it gets a charge, and if the LED illuminates. I am thinking: charging port is not properly connected back + the new battery did not fix the bootloop / battery issue.
Thoughts?
Bootloops/shutdowns are going to corrupt your data. I would RUU the thing before looking for hardware trouble, which you've likely sorted out by replacing the battery (of course, we're assuming the new battery is good).
BUT before that, is there a memory test in the bootloader or recovery? If so, I would run that very first thing.

Whatever happened to your phone? I have the exact same problem. Infinite boot loop, no illuminated LED, and no way of getting into recovery or anything else with it bootlooping. It occurred after I made the mistake of trying to restart it at 25%. I have the new battery and screen. i'm going to attempt to open this Pandora's box. Seriously going to have to turn my back on HTC. The 10 is so full of software issue problems regarding the batteries that they never bothered to address.
I did the exact same thing a few days ago and my phone won't charge or boot, but I do think the problem is with the button strip, that's what i think, because i tried turning it on before re assembling it and it did turn on successfully and was charging normally but when i re Assemble it, the phone got this problem, now i think when i turned it on before assembling i pressed the power button with a screw driver because i couldn't press it with my fingers, I think there i messed it up, any advice how to fix the button strip and remove a slip nut would be very much appreciated
I had the exact same issue as you(shutting down at 50%), have you found any solution to it?
edit: I THINK clean flashing oreo firmware then latest RUU then twrp then lineage fixed my issue, charging to full rn will drain it over the next day and report back if its gone for good
So I've had this phone for about a year now, loved it (other than the lack of custom ROMS but that was my own fault for not doing enough research to begin with..) Anyways, to the problem..
The phone ran completely fine for about 6 months, no issues whatsoever. Then, I cracked the screen while working (oops). I consider myself at least a bit knowledgeable when it comes to phone repair, as I have done many in the past successfully. I purchased a new screen off E-bay, and installed it. No issues other than it had a few weird spots on the screen but it was bearable so I was living with it. About a month later I started having charge port issues. I had to prop it up certain ways to get it to charge, etc etc. I looked it up and apparently many people had this problem. It was running fine still for about another month until the strangest thing happened that I've never seen before.
The batter would immediately say 100% when I first plugged it in, and after powered on, it progressively brings itself down to 0% and then dies completely. Never seen it before and couldn't find anything about it on the internet really.
I figured that it was probably just the battery crapping out on me, so I thought, if I'm going to keep this phone (can't really afford a nicer phone right now), that I may as well purchase a new charge port and battery and repair them both.
The repair went flawlessly. The charge port works again perfectly but the battery problem still remains. It still says 100% and gradually goes down to 0% and dies.
What is going on here? Any ideas? I am now trying a system restore (my phone was encrypted so I wasnt able to get into TWRP without remembering the password which I don't even remember putting on there). I did a wipe on the phone and now I am able to access TWRP just fine on my internal storage, is there anything that may be able to fix this? Assuming this is a software issue and not a hardware one? And if it is a hardware one, what could it be??
Thank you for your time!
EDIT:
I forgot to mention. About a day before the battery started doing this. I downloaded the magisk module "ACC" (Advanced charging controller), thinking it may be useful considering how weird my charge port thing was being. It completely made my phone unable to charge when plugged in. I disabled and deleted the module and it went back to the way it was before (it didn't have the weird issue of discharging constantly). The next day or 2 that's when it started discharging immediately and always says its at 100% when I first plug it in. Don't know if that's relevent or not but I figured I would add it.
