whenever my phone is powered off (or I power it off) while it's on the charger
it will power back on. anyone know why it's doing this? could it be the USB wire/charger?
The screen should just light up with a battery symbol to show charging.

it SHOULD do this, but it doesn't
if the phone is off and I plug the charger in
it will start charging, but it will also power on :|

If your on GB, then its a known issue. But if this is happening on froyo, then I would ODIN EB13, root, and flash SFR.

what do you mean? like a docking station?
or just a regular Samsung charger that would fit my phone and several other Samsung phones?
They mean a charger that fits the battery to charge it outside of the phone.

no, I don't need to go through THAT trouble, lol
So, I turned my phone off to charge it one night and realized I left my charger in the car. My G2x charger was still in my room. So, I plugged it in. To my surprise, instead of charging my phone, it put my GS2 into download mode.
So, now instead of messing with the buttons trying to get it right, I just turn my phone off, plug it into that charger and then plug it into my computer to use with Odin.
I have no idea why it does this, but hey, I kind of like it.
And, that is my dumb story for the day.

Maybe a pin configuration diff in the charger. That's about the only thing I can think of that may be able to pull it off. Good to know. Thanks
I would not trust using a wierd cable in Odin, good thing it didn't disconnect or anything during the flash or you could of very well bricked the device
just words of caution

I use my GS2 cable for Odin. Just use the G2x cable for getting into download mode.

I semi-bricked my device for a few minutes because my Computer froze when I was updating to 2.3.6 and it shut down Odin. Sooo happy I got it fixed

Weird. I wonder why mine doesn't. Do you use it with the phone off?
My g2x charger does the same. There have been threads on it already.
Here's one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314284
This also means that we now can have a jig for bricked phones, right? Figure out what's the pin configuration that forces it into download mode?

Hi everyone !
Yesterday I was using my phone, and after a few minutes without using it, when I tried to wake it up, nothing happened ! The screen stays black all the time, and the charging LED light doesn't turn on too.
I don't understand, nothing happened to the phone (no fall or anything). And now it just seems ... dead !!!
Could someone help me ?
Thanks !
The phone is rooted with S-Off and a custom ROM ...
If you pull out the battery and place it back does it boot then?
Try pulling the battery and then replace it while holding both volume buttons and the power button.

If pulling the battery doesn't do it, it's probably really dead. I also once had a dead Desire, stopped working from one moment to the other. If there's warranty left, send it in.

Yes the phone is rooted since the first day
That's what i was thinking muellersmattes. The warranty is over since a few months
Your phone is dead.
That happened to my first desire hd. I had to take it in to vodafone for them to send off for repair :-(
Question : when you do take in for repair can they tell if you rooted it ?

Yeah clearly I think my phone is dead. I'll try to repair it and sell it.
Anyway, I bought a Galaxy S I9000, I hope it will last a bit longer !
I had two problems with my DHD. But to keep history short, I'll tell only the second:
My seemed bricked. It didn't power on and when I plugged the charger, the LED didn't turn on.
As I work with electronics, I measured the phone's battery and it had 0.0V. So, I took an adjustable power supply and charged the battery for 2 minutes with 3.7V.
I put the battery back in the phone, plugged the charger and the LED turned orange!
Perhaps you could try the same procedure...
And tomorrow I'll try to fix the 1st problem.
Hey guys,
Just received DHD from eBay and the guy has forgotten to ship the battery -_-
I'ts on its way but I'd just like to check if the phone works or not, so is there a way to turn it on using another power source?
Thanks, Gabriel.

It doesn't work without the battery.

My phone had strange battery behavior throughout the day yesterday. It discharged much quicker than usual. I charged it to 50%before bed and left it off the charger overnight.
This morning i woke up to a black screen, and a phone that won't charge. I tried a few different cords, outlets and other sources of power.
Anything i can try to fix this? I ordered a replacement, is there anything i can do to hide my s-off? I'm afraid I'm going to get charged for my replacement because I'm s-offed with a custom rom.

This sounds like a familiar problem with TWRP recoveries.... It sounds like you had an old version of CWM that may be broken with off mode charging.... Unfortunately your only chance may be to leave the phone on the charger for a day and see if it goes far enough tht you can get the phone to boot.

This happened to me with TWRP. Let it charge and hold the power button for a minute or two. If that doesn't work, try power + vol down. I was able to get mine to boot up eventually. Good luck!

Again it depends how much effort they put in. When they send the phone to a factory for refurbishing all it needs is a charge and they will see Unlocked/S-OFF

And he'd already have a replacement by then. If it takes a charge, it will probably boot. But without it booting up, pretty sure they can't see anything.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All they would have to do is put a new battery in it and turn it on, and then see its s-off. Which is what they WILL do in order to resell it as a refurb.

If you go through the carrier they can back charge your bill for voiding your warranty (exception being if this is an accidental damage exchange, in which case he will be charged a deductible). If he went through HTC he wont have a replacement by then unless he puts a deposit down on an advanced replacement, which he most likely wont get back when they see S-OFF/Unlocked.

If Verizon back charged for issues like this, there would be more than a dozen threads warning of it. Do a search. Many people have had phones unable to boot and have successfully gotten warranty replacements. Not a single one has yet to be back charged (or there would be a thread). If his phone boots he won't have to worry about it because there's no point in sending it in. If he sends it to HTC and they are able to get it to boot to see it is unlocked (S-off alone does not break warranty) they will notify him before any charges and send the phone back. At this point he will know the phone is able to boot up. Problem solved.
Edit: probably came off like a ****...not my intention at all. It's a community here and we're all just trying to help each other out.

So you weren't ever able to get it to boot by doing anything? There's been plenty of people on here who have gotten a replacement from Verizon because they've bricked their phone. I'm pretty positive you'll be fine. There would be threads on here already if Verizon was back charging.

Nope. Left it on the charger for 12+ hrs. Held the power button down for 5+ minutes, held power and vol buttons the same time length.

Sounds weird but people have mentioned trying the power button and or power + vol down under a bright light. Something to do with the light sensor. Worth a shot at least.
