Bluetooth module HC-05

I'm using STM32f411re to communicate with phone using HC-05 Bluetooth module, I want to turn an LED on, but this doesn't work when using UART2 but works well when using UART1, What could be the reason behind that?

You don't say what board you are using, so I'll give two answers:

1) you're on a board that you designed, so either your layout to UART2 isn't working properly, you didn't change the handle for the HAL_UART* calls from huart1 to huart2, or something else.

2) if you're using a NUCLEO-F411RE board, UART2 is connected to the debug section to provide a virtual com port connection to the 411. If you have wired your HC-05 to the same pins (PA2/3), you'll have two RX pins connected together (one on the debug module and another on the HC-05), and you'll have two TX pins connected together which may be fatal if one is high and one is low simultaneously, likely letting out the magic smoke.
