Unable to turn it on. totally bricked
So... Are you unable to turn it on due to no fingers?
Lol yea what happened?
Well, we need a bit more info.

1. have you tried "power button" ?
2. have you charged the phone ?
on a bright side, you are the 1st one !
Maybe your battery is loose? Not to mention that bricking a
phone is usually due to screwing up a software flash. So, is brick really the right word?

LOL!!
Try holding down the volume down button as you turn the phone on...see if that does anything.
Only time I'd allow the "First" comment to be used in a thread.
Im guessing CW Recovery...
Thank you guys
I think it's bricked, and unrecoverable.
After several flashing, It suddenly turned off then never woke up again. Any effort so far is hopeless

I tried with captivate stock firmware, i9000 international firmware, then I flash back to vibrant stock firmware.
After had things done with Odin, my phone restarted, and it was the last time I saw my baby working as a smart phone.
Did you try to reboot the phone into recovery or download mode?

Have you tried plugging it into your charger? does the battery/charging screen come on?

Koush said:
If you are stuck on the phone to PC screen, you are NOT bricked. During development, I ended up getting into this state a couple times myself. You can still get into download mode in the same fashion.
Connect your phone to USB so you get the phone->PC screen. Press and hold both volume up/down. Then press and also hold Home. Then start pressing and holding power for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, let go of power. Continue holding volume up, volume down, and home, until you get into download mode.

no, a completely blank screen.
no icon, no GUI, no nothing (
Yeah, weird...I just flashed back to US firmware and now my phone is totally unresponsive to everything. Keep in mind I've flashed back and forth several times...even once thought my phone was bricked because the power button wouldn't even turn the screen on. But after holding the correct buttons it finally booted into download mode. I was even using my phone earlier just fine, and having it run quadrant test of 1700, but as soon as I flashed back to 100% stock US firmware, my phone now no longer boots. Go figure lol.
Though this time I think it has bit the dust for real, lol. So be weary of flashing back to US firmware if you are flashing a lot of different other firmwares. Cuz I think something happens and the key combinations get deleted so it refuses to boot into any mode.

I"m at the phone to pc screen..but the Home button is not a "button" it's a touch sensitive button on my vibrant and it won't go into download mode...
I got here because i flashed the custom kernel to put the market and data on a ext4 partition...and it reversed my volume buttons and reversed the routing of sound..headphone speaker..that stuff....so i couldn't hear anything...so when i went to reflash stock t-mobile firmware it told me not to unplug for like hours..it wasn't doing anything.....i took the battery out and now i'm stuck at phone to pc...i think i might just use the warranty..seeing as u can't do a think with it...atleast i can't that is..i feel like a moron...
the forum said to work on com7 but com4 was showing up in odin...i couldn't get it to go on com7 so i thought it should still work....

what was your combination?
I hold volume up and down..then hold home with those..then power for 2 seconds..let go and nothing...it doesn't recognize i'm holding the home because it's a software based button..the home key that is..and with no software...no button...so i'm afraid this screen means bricked...adb reboot download won't work either...i'm gunna get it exchanged in the morning..under buyers remorse..
All of sudden, my HD2 died on me when I was using it with CoPilot during my driving. I stopped my car, took out the battery & back on and powered it on. Then loaded up some apps before it started to reboot again. And again. Until it reached the point where it just shows the "HTC" logo and freezes there. I left it switched off for a few days.
Now, today, I powered it on, it showed the HTC logo and then shut down. No reboot.
I have not done a reset yet as I need some data off from it first.
Standard Windows Mobile v6.5. That's it. I can't even get the red text at the HTC logo to come up with the radio number & other details.
Does anyone know what the issue is? Is there a way to get it bacjk up & running without losing my data?
Thanks all
First try a factory reset, press both volume up and down hold in then press the power button wait until you get the banded screen then the white screen - read the instructions.
If its booting its not bricked
Remove your sd card recover what you need then reformat it useing the pc, try EASEUS free edition remove all pertitions before formating
When its booted back correctly, I would consider a task 29 then reinstall the rom of your choice (the search option works well) Good luck
OK, after trying a few battery unplug/plug, I finally got the red text to come up...
R - 2.07.51.22.2
G - 15.32.50.07U
D - 1.66.76641
But it's still stuck at the HTC logo.

Thanks, I assume doing the factory reset will wipe off whatever I have on the phone memory?

Yes a hard reset will remove all of your personal data and settings. Before you Hard Reset if you have not already done so. Check your battery pons to make sure you do not have a pin that is slightly bent. I say do thiscause you said it started bootlooping when hou took the battery out, I recommend using the reset button to soft rese.
Also try placing your HD2 in the freezer for like 10 minutes in a plasgic bag to protect it againsg moister and then see if it will boot.Also remove your SD card and see if that helps.
Has given up, did a factory reset and all is good. But sad about the data loss.
Nevermind, moving onward!
Thanks for the helps, all.

if its on your dash it may have overheated... causing the issue.
sometimes happens to mine.
OK, I've got a buck thirty-seven in loose change and a John Denvers Greatest Hits cassette for whoever can help me out with this one. I was going to return my Icona to stock last night so I could let it update to 3.1; using Thors CWM, I formatted /system then /data with plans to do a factory reset (out of habit from flashing my phone every week or so, I probably didn't need to). Before the data finished formatting, I got called away from my desk to the OR and ended up leaving the tablet alone for the rest of the night.
This morning, I found the tablet powered down; when I booted it, I got the Acer screen, then the android screen, then it powered down. When I tried to use a USB keyboard to get into recovery, I got nothing. When I tried to boot and hold the "-" down to flash update.zip, it would power off before it would get there. Tried to use the hard reset, nothing.
Put my son on the project today while I was working. He tried everything he could find, specifically the 9-step procedure. No luck there, it will power off before he can get anything done. Strange thing is I just picked it up after it has been sitting a while and tried to boot into recovery, and it went into CWM.... for about 5 secs, then powered down. Now it won't boot into recovery, powers down quickly. He said it did that earlier today, so it seems that if you let it sit awhile and boot, it at least will get into recovery initially (I'm gonna explore that theory, letting it rest now).
Anyone got any advice or ideas? I've searched the threads and can't find anyone who has had this problem yet. If the damn thing had screws on the back, I'd take it apart and drain the battery down. Someone throw some genius my way.
No clues other then if it onlybruns a few minutes is it getting hot
You can open the back with a credit card. Remove your similar then go along the edge starting acoss the tap taking care and be gentle. The plastic on the back is part of what removes as part of the metal to back cover.
Hope this helps

I might try that soon, gonna keep at it. It's not a heat issue; it only runs a few secs before it shuts down. I know it's got something to do with me formating the data and not finishing the reset.
Have to ask, but is the bat flat or does it do it plug in.
Changing my post...I got a question instead:
When you hold down the "-" key, do you see anything on your screen saying the recovery key was pressed?

Well, I let it sit for a while, and instead of holding down the "-" key, I plugged in the keyboard and pressed the home key. Nothing seemed to happen, but when I turned it back on after that it booted up and let me go through the setup screen. Strange, but at least it's working.

Have you checked your battery connection(pins). You may have a bend battery connection pin.

Then once you do above and get the screen working again, you can do what i did and use attached program to remap one of the other buttons (i chose green phone button since i press the phone icon to use the phone anyhow) and remap it to function as the power button and never worry about the screen again
To install: download to computer, then use adb install to install.
Or the simple way, just download straight to phone, navigate to the downloaded folder using a file explorer(astro works well found on the market) and launch it through the file explorer to install.

Yep, I have tried that.... pushing the end button a zillion times. It use to work before, but now it doesnt. I tried the end button, the call button, sliding over the other keys, just tapping on the unlock keys on the screen... but nothing. i do it so much, i pretty much start banging on the keys.....ummm... not sure if that made it worse??
is there anyway i can just reset my phone.... perhaps flash a new rom. I really dont care what is on my phone at this point. phone numbers not saved on sim can be replaced.... i dont care about anything else as far as apps. i just want to be able to use this phone again, whatever it takes. not sure if this is even possible without unlocking the screen first. i am so frustrated i wanna let my rottweiler accidently chew it up, just so i can get a new phone...
i know there is some smarty pants out there that can figure this out... help me pleeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

Nope. Its pretty much hosed. These are classic symptoms of the digitizer cable losing connection with the main board. Pressing the red End key forcefully can sometimes mate the connection back, but otherwise if that doesn't work nothing will. If you're feeling brave, you can take apart the phone piece by piece and reassemble it. That might do the trick. Else, you have to replace the digitizer.
Ok... first of all, what is a digitizer?
Also, is there any way I can connect it to my computer via usb and try to remove the files that i put on there for the rom.... that would just make it a windows phone again. Because Im confused.... is this a phone malfunction or a file issue?

Can you get to the bootloader (stripey screen)? If so, then just flash a stock WinMo ROM from there and it should work.
Well I am able to restart the phone after I take the battery out. So there is a point at the startup while its loading, it says 1-2-3-4 Go Go Go. Not sure if there is anything I can from there.
Oh btw... for a brief few minutes yesterday, the phone did unlock. I got so excited that I started reading all my text messages I missed over the passed 2 weeks and also reviewing missed phone calls. And by that time, the phone locked again. No luck since.

Take the battery out, put it back in then hold down the power (end call) and volume down buttons. From here, you can flash a stock ROM via the USB port or flash a stock ROM via your SD card

If you remap the call button to the power button, as lung as you don't hit the end key anymore your screen should stay working. It has for me

You can eitherdownload to computer, the use adb install to install the program, or download to your phone and use a file browser to navigate to your downloads and install from there. Downloading to your phone is probably the easiest for beginners.
