Hi,
I have a tmobile MDA (wizard). I attempted to install some software on it, but disconnected and rebooted before it was complete (it appeared to be just spinning).
Now after a soft reset, screen shows only 'Windows Mobile' after booting, and none of the buttons work and I can't advance from this screen.
Is there a way to hard reset that doesn't involve using the OS (ie, I can't click on anything because it's not getting to that point).
Also in this state activesync isn't detecting device.
Thanks in advance! - Chris

Hold down (and keep holding) the camera button while depressing the reset button. Hopefully it boots into a tri-color screen. If so, plug it into the USB port and, at the bottom of the screen, it should display "USB". If that happens, flash it with a *known good rom*, such as a stock T-Mobile rom. Don't try to be clever, the object is to get the phone working. Once the flash has started, *get up and walk away* for 15 or 20 minutes. Don't check in on it, leave it alone, It takes some time. When you hear it's little chime, it's done, rebooted and ready. If any of the above doesn't happen or the flash outright fails, then you may have trashed it permanently. It doesn't sound like it's beyond hope yet, however.

i have the wizard and im having the same problem after installing a ROM from this website...it just goes to the windows mobile screen with the numbers then shuts off...id really like to save my phone is there anything else i can try because that hard reset thing isnt working

Well same thing happened to me a few days back.. I had to Cold Reset [which restored it to factory defaults], but hey I got it working again..
Press Communication Button [Top Left] and Record Button [Top Right] at the same time and use the stylus to soft reset..
You will get a black screen, asking you to press "Send" to reset to "Factory defaults"
Press "Send".
Hopefully you should get your MDA working again ...
I read the "Above" in the HTC Wizard Service Manual [PDF] on the *last page* under the "Cold-reset" Section..

I'm in Deep Trouble

I need some help...I'm freaking out...
I cooked a ROM with dcd's version 1.6.9 for BELL a few days ago and it was wonderful and worked great.
Today, I tried to upgrade to version 1.6.10 and I f___ed something up.
It starts the htc boot up screen as usual, then the Bell screen comes up as usual, then a Sprint screen comes up briefly and then the Windows Mobile screen comes on and HANGS........
I have tried cold reboots, and nothing. I cant connect to it with USB.
I can kick myself for making an error because I was rushing......
Can anyone please help............................

Search the forums here, there's a way to have to phone boot into the bootloader where you can reflash the phone.
Cheers,
Tom
P.S. Have you tried hard reset?

If I recall correctly isn't it power, camera reset button????

Hard Reset:
With the Sprint Mogul I believe its holding the 2 soft buttons, the ones with dots on them, above the Red and Green phone buttons. Holding these down, push the reset button with the stylus and hold the two soft buttons for a few seconds, until something comes on the screen, which I can't recall at the moment....

Problem while booting my trinity phone

Hi,
I have got my trinity phone one year ago and never had a problem since last week. When starting my phone, it stops on the first screen (with "orange" logo) and nothing more happens.
I tried to reset it without succeed. The phone is not detected by the "activeSync" to make it flushable.
Help please !

my problem is mor or less the same... only that dont apears any image on screen and the green led is constantly on...

I have loaded a long time ago an old version of ROM Gelly.
This ROM worked perfectly to a friend who suggested to do the same with my trinity.
The PROBLEM is that when i try to open the pda it freezes to the first srceen showing the rom version and after....nothing!
I tried to load again Gelly from the bootloader, it begins to run, it runs about 1% then the trinity makes a flash (this means it loses the connection with the pc) and then shows me again the first screen....
Please i need help!

hi,
2 things ...
have you tried a hard reset ? (hold both softkeys & hit reset button)
and when flashing:
when you first run the rom upgrade from PC with phone on Activesync, it is quite common for phone to hang at the bootloader screen ...
worry not -
just re-run the upgrade from PC again immediately, without disconnecting or attempting to switch phone off.
(the word USB should be visable on device under the coloured bars)
if you do get hung up at bootloader screen a hard reset should at least get you back to where you were, and you can try re-flash again.
hope this helps,
regards,
Kevin

My trinity won't work anymore...
Hi all!
My trinity wont't work anymore. When i press the ON/OFF-button, the display is lighten up a bit, then the buttons are lighten up. And nothing more.
When i will go to bootloader mode, it is the same.
And when i will to a hard reset, the trinity ask me to press SEND or END key for restore factory default or cancel. When i choose the SEND key, on my display some ridicoulous letters appear, but nothing more.
When i try KITL mode, everything is the same.
Can someone help please?
Because i can't do something on my trinity
EDIT (maybe this can help my helper ):
After some time, the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore.
When i try to charging the battery, it only works, when the buttons are not lighten up (when i switch on, charging is ok; when the display is lighten up a bit, charging is ok; when the buttons are lighten up, charging won't work; when the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore after a time, charging is ok)

Helppppp HD2 Well not boot up anymore

Hey,
I had my HD 2 for 2 days now.
It just crash on me for the first time soft rest the unit now it well not boot up anymore stuck in the HTC with white background screen and the rom version at the left bottom side.
Tried removing battery nothing still stuck.
I tried to hard rest the pda but cannot get it to hard rest.
Can someone explain how to hard rest what do you have to do hold the volume key up or down and switch the unit on tried it but nothing.
Please any help.
Thanks
Gigino

Have a look here (point 15) on howto do the reset(s)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Good luck..

Same as Gigino, my HD2 is only giving me white HTC screen. I haven't even had it long enough to connect it to my pc. No messing around. It locked up about 5 times in the 5 days I have had it. Each lock up was only resolved with the battery removal. Curiously no lockups until I set an alarm.
The difference between my issue and Gigino is that I do not have the rom version showing up at reboot, just the white screen. Hardware issue, or software?
Followed the Hard Reset procedure as outlined by HTC and your link above. The reset commands are recognized, but after reload, back to white HTC screen.
Bricked?

If you cant get functionality back by taking the battery out or by soft or hard resetting then theres not much more you can do. You could try taking the battery out and giving it a full charge with the mains charger provided but I dont think that will do much good.
As long as you havent flashed a new rom with the goldcard then call your service provider. If you got a sim free phone then call the place where you bought it as its covered by warantee. You should be able to get it replaced if theres a fault.

the same thing happened to me after 2 weeks with phone, I'd had no problems with the phone then one morning while using opera it froze. I had to remove the battery to try and reboot the phone but it wouldn't boot past the htc screen. eventually after removing the battery several times the phone wouldn't even turn on, also the phone got very hot with the battery in. I called htc and told them and they picked up it for repair. it looks like they couldn't fix it cos they sent me a replacement phone. they returned the phone to me within a week.

HTC White Screen of Death
Thanks, guess I feel a bit better knowing it wasn't anything I did..and that I am not alone in this world of WSOD
I have contacted the seller and haven't heard back yet. I don't imagine it will be a problem. Perhaps above and beyond the alarm clock/freezing thread a WSOD thread is in order until it is determined if they are related.
Thanks all.

Update;
I pulled battery and replaced so device is off. Charged over night and the orange power charging light didn't go off or go green by morning. device was hot.
Get this though, when I pull the phone off the charger the orange light doesn't go out!. Now the phone won't turn on either. Had to pull battery again to make orange light go out and when it powered back up, back to HTC whit screen.

I don't know what is the cause.
But it is really pissing me off.
The only solution out is to do a "hard" reset by holding volume up and down TOGETHER while doing that .... press the power on button for about 1 second ... then ONLY let go the "power on" button which still hold volume up and down.
You should see the screen to restore to factory default .... and proceed to do so.
I have encounter quite a number of times but after trying various "solution" ... it still happens.
By the way, I am using cooked ROM (which I don't think is the problem).

I encounter similar situation .... was installing the new taskbar .... then it took very long ..... so while the installation in progress thingy is still in the middle .... I did a soft reset ... then it start up till the white screen and stock there and showing the ROM version etc at the bottom left.
So have to do a Restore to Factory Default to get it up and running again.

Seems there is something really wrong with this model.
I have it for two months now and lots of issues.
Now it is with HTC for repair as I also have the white screen with green HTC issue.
Nothing helped Hard Reset nor flashing rom.
I can't wait to get it back ;-)
Tons of issues with this phone, but my love for it is just a bit bigger than the hate.

1. Turn your phone off
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear

If you flash a shipped rom via activesync as you described then the HardSPL will be left intact and HTC will be the wiser and will invalidate your warranty.
The only way to remove the HardSPL is to flash a shipped rom via microSD Card which will flash the shipped rom, radio and spl back and will leave you with a stock device.

White screen with HTC logo is a hardware defect
I also have the issue with not booting HD2 after less than a month of use . It shows white screen and green HTC logo but without the red digits in the bottom part of the screen. And one more strange behavior to mention - when phone is switched off and I connect it to the charger it starts itself after 30sec approximately.
What is inside:
Original SPL with an original ROM but for different region than the one which originally was inside. I flashed it by SSPL (without using HSPL).Only ROM was flashed without radio as radio was the same.
What checks were done:
1)Soft reset
2)Removing of battery
3)Hard reset several times
4)Flashing back with the original ROM through ActiveSinc and cable from computer. As the original SPL is intact this should return it to the factory condition. After flashing I did 2 hard resets. But no change - still showing white screen on boot up.
Finally I gave it to the repair workshop. They confirmed that this is a hardware problem and sent it for repair in authorized HTC service.
Suggest that this is a problem with a bad soldered chip (integrated circuit) during manufacturing of the PCB. In this case the power controller chip is suspected. The contact pad of the chip and solder are touching each other and phone works. With the time passing the contact surface oxidate and contact is lost. So initially the phone will work but reset itself occasionally while the contact is instable and will stop fully to operate when the contact is completely lost. Only replacement of defective PCB can rectify this problem. Trials to re-solder the chip are usually not successful. This is purely manufacturing defect. However sometimes it may happen if you drop down your phone.

i had same problem, it was stuck on first white screen with some version numbers in red in bottom left.
I did a hard reset and it got fixed.
i had not installed anything or flashed anything. it just got stuch at that screen 1 fine day for no reason

WSOD FIX
To all the people having WSOD issues, check your microSD cards. I had this issue while ago with the white HTC screen and NO RED TEXT and I norrowed the problem down to my microSD card. When taking it out of the HD2, it would boot up fine. So I plugged my card into a USB adapter on my PC, formatted it and then put it back into the HTC. Everything worked fine.
EDIT: My HD2 is a T8585 and is unbranded bought from UK. I have always been using the stock 1.66 WWE ROM

I have exactly the same prob as camo.b, and right now I`m formatting my SD card, hoping that I'll be able to at least restore the SPL so that the warranty will still be available. I'm bringing it in tomorrow, if everything turns out to be fine with my SPL...

My HD2 will not let me flash anything, even though I can get into the bootloader screen. Right now it's semi-bricked, and I have tried flashing a stock ROM via both usb and sd card, I have tried using task29, I have even tried uninstalling HSPL, but nothing works. Everything fails, either at the beginning, at the middle or at the end of the operation.

I flashed it with a shipped rom and he works,

I was unable to do a hard reset with any card still in the device. be sure both sim and sd card are removed, then reinstall battery and follow vol up/down etc. procedures. good luck.

HD2 Stuck at HTC Screen, vibrating (EDIT - tried flashing currently stuck at 9%)

Hello,
EDIT - Ok I'm just adding this bit to my post to summ up the whole situation from Post 1 until Post 14 in dot points
- HTC HD2, Began randomly freezing to "HTC" screen, when reset, loads "HTC" Screen and vibrates 5-6 times, sometimes let me goto OS, but at one point stopped letting me goto OS, Stuck at "HTC" Screen with the 5-6 Mysterious vibrations.
- I tried to flash a ROM off the HTC HK Website, 1.78 I think, Stuck at 9%, Those 6-7 Vibrations, tried again, same thing stuck at 9% with Vibrations.
- Tried another factory ROM from HTC HK the latest one, Flashed 100% the first time through, but then does not boot, just stuck at "HTC" Screen with vibrating
- Tried to flash same ROM again, begins vibrating and stuck at 9%
- I wanted to try if some custom ROMS worked, flashed HSPL 1.42 on, while flashing HSPL it finished on the device but on computer I got "Unknown Error
0x1003FF"
- Continued and went on to upgrade my HSPL to 2.08 so I can flash custom ROMS, now I have 2.08 HSPL.
- I tried Artemis Custom Rom for LEO, this one after it finished I think brang me past the "HTC" Screen, it actually said "quietly brilliant" for the first time, and to some Windows config screen where this Error appeared :
ARM11 FATAL ERROR
flash_os_wm.c line 339
- So I tried resetting, and stuck at "HTC" Screen, but No constant vibrating, only 1 vibrate.
- I tried Cheetah ROM, same problem, stuck at "HTC" Screen.
- I tried "NRG" ROM, same problem stuck at "HTC" Screen, well the NRG Screen.
- I tried Kumars ROM, same problem again. stuck at at the bootup screen.
I should mention whenever flashing, on the computer it never tells me what my current Image version is, it just tells me the one i'm flashing to. e.g the "FROM" field is blank. That's it until now.
Also everytime while at the bootup screen, it cycles e.g it will Vibrate, show bootup screen, do nothing, go black... then repeat the bootup screen, vibrate etc etc etc. After ROM is flashed, if I do a soft reset it will just stay at the bootup screen and not do anything at all.
Hard reset doesn't help either, neither does battery out/in, same thing just stuck at the intro screen with all the ROMS I try.
If anybody knows what the problem could be, please post.
ORIGINAL POST BELOW BEFORE EDIT :
-------------------------------------------------
Whenever I turn on my HTC HD2 It's stuck at the white screen with "HTC" in the middle, it will vibrate on and off about 4 times, and after that it will do nothing.
A soft reset with the Red button under the battery cover just brings it to the same screen with the same problem.
Taking the battery out and putting back in does not help, same problem.
doesn't even want to respond to hard reset (Vol down + Vol Up) + Power Button briefly.
When I try to put it into the Diagnostic mode (Vol down + Power), and try to flash a ROM onto it,
It just gives a Error 294, Invalid Vendor, maybe because I was using a ROM that was not Hong Kong, I don't know but I cant try flash again as the device does not respond to anything now (like before but can't even get into boot mode).
So I'm stuck at the moment and can't do anything.
Before this it would sometimes want to start up, and then get stuck sometimes, but now it's constantly not booting up
and begin stuck at the HTC Screen with 4 vibrates.
Sometimes it even boots upto the "HTC" Screen, and doesn't vibrate at all.
And at the moment I can't even get it into Diagnostic mode, doesn't respond to anything other than the reset button.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT ----- > Now goes into boot mode, I found out that QUICKLY after reset doing vol- and power gets it into boot mode. But while trying to flash the ROM, on my computer it says NOTHING about the current Image ROM on the PC, Trying to update now, this time it goes into a Progress bar on the HD2, stuck at 9%, and funnily enough at 9% it does the same (Vibrate 4 times) thing. and is stuck at the moment.

Keep trying that hard reset method. Make sure both buttons are fully pressed and briefly press power button to get HSPL to appear.
Follow this guide:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
1. With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
2. While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
3. When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Thanks for the reply,
Sorry I was editting my post while you were replying, please read it again it has some updates on what is happening at the moment.
Got it to go into boot mode, SPL 3.03 Version, connected to USB, tried to update with HK ROM, stuck at 9% and does 4 x Vibrate, now stuck at 9% on phone and computer.
What should I do now?

Update - Error 262 on Computer (UPDATE ERROR) the ROM utility has encountered a communications errors during the update process
The computer guided me what to do :
1. Remove USB cable
2. Battery out, battery back in.
3. Start device up and flash again.
Device started at "Software update failed", i was able to plug the usb cable back in, and start flashing again.
at 4%, It vibrated 4-7 times while going from 4% to 9%, and progress stopped at 9% Again.
That vibrating I don't know why it's happening.
I even tried updating again, and it does the same thing, vibrates 4-7 times and then stops at 9% update.
Is the ROM I'm using a bad one? It's the HTC Hong Kong one from early 2010,
There is another one I can download which is from Late 2010, but it's SPL Version might be too high.
The reason I'm trying to update a ROM is to get an early SPL, so I can load HardSPL to use Custom Firmware.
EDIT -
Edit - I just tried Hard Reset, but it just goes to the "Software Update failed, please try again" screen. Tried to load ROM on again but still the same vibrating and stuck at 9% during update.

Hi,
Now I tried updating to a later HK ROM, and it updated but still now has the Green HTC Screen with the vibrating. The ROM that did the Vibrating during 3-9% and stuck at 9% was :
HTC HD2 RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
And the one that Is Updating without problems and works fine is the newer one found on the HTC HK website :
HTC HD2 RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.832.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
This one it lets me update all the way through, once it's complete the device goes black and does not respond to anything, Battery out and battery in and the device starts up, but goes to the HTC Screen, and then Vibrates 5 Times.
And then does not respond.
What is the problem??
Even tried a Hard Reset, and again it does the same thing.
Boots, Vibrates once on HTC Screen, 5 seconds later, it vibrates on/off about 7 times and that's it, stuck at HTC Screen.
Since those 2 ROMS don't work, is there any ROM or Software that I can try to put on that will let me somehow get my HD2 Working again.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by flashing radio version 2.15 and then re-flashing hardspl. Then i installed a custom winmo rom. After that my phone was fine.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

UPDATE !!
Ok this is getting very weird.
So I tried to flash the Later ROM that ORIGINALLY WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 100%.
THIS TIME, IT GETS STUCK AT 8%, and then the phone Vibrates 5 times just like the earlier ROM.
Does anybody know what this vibrating is indicating? I might try to ask HTC, but even though they developed the phone they would probably be of no help since they sent me a faulty phone back from Warranty.

Just info, I read that some users reported the same as you. And unfortunately, they have to bring it to HTC repair as this might relate to hardware malfunction.
If you are under warranty, you better bring it for repair.

+1 for this. Most recently, there have been some users reporting multiple vibration patterns (usually 7 times) when turning on the phone. None of them was able to flash any ROM to bring back their HD2.
At least, most of them were able to install an original SPL before sending it to a service center. However, I never read anything about the final outcome.

The phone has already been through warranty once, and HTC's slack attitude and approach offended me greatly. They wrote on the paper "No Faults Found", which shows their reluctance towards fixing their faulty phones that they are bringing out to us. They just reflashed a ROM with appeared to "fix" the original voice problem I was having, but I didn't have enough time to test the phone out before it began malfunctioning and vibrating on startup when they send it back to me.
And the fee's and costs to get it to Hong Kong are just not worth it, having to pay the postage back from Hong Kong, plus to receive my HTC in worse condition than it was before I sent it to them.
HTC isn't what it used to be

Hi,
So i tried flashing to an older ROM I was shown to by users on the HTC HD2 forum,
It was 1.48, and It flashed all the way through, so then it didn't let me soft reset after the flash I think, so i took the battery out and put it back in.
After that It didn't do the vibrating, only vibrated once at the HTC Screen but was stuck at that.
Now though I am at SPL 1.42, so any point in trying to put HardSPL on and going to a Custom ROM? I just haven't been able to get any ROM to boot up yet past the HTC Screen.
Trying to reflash with the same ROM again this time it's stuck at 0% All the time.

So i tried updating to HardSPL, It got past the "We hacked it" Screen, but after that when it went to the Progress bar on the HTC HD2, on my computer I got the Error :
Unknown Error
0x1003FF
However now when I go into boot mode, It shows that I have HSPL Installted.
Now that I have HSPL, any tricks or Firmware I can flash to try fix these problems and try get a ROM working/booting?

I'm using Windows 7.
Another update - I put HSPL 2.08 on so I can flash Custom ROMS (well most of them i guess).
So i got Cheetah's ROM, I flashed it on and then after it was on, the HTC SCreen appeard, and then the ROM Version in Red letters at the bottom, but it did not boot up, so I did a reset, and then the HTC Screen comes up and is stuck at it.
UPDATE -- Did battery out / battery in, and It GOT PAST THE HTC SCreen, it displayed the "quietly brilliant" text, then it got into a windows screen, but then the Error
ARM11 FATAL ERROR
flash_os_wm.c line 339
I can't click "OK" on the window either its frozen.
A soft reset brings it to the "HTC" Screen with no more.
Battery out / in brings it to the Same "HTC" Screen but then it turns black for a sec, flashes,
then back to the "HTC" Screen, with no Red letters at the bottom, and it keeps going black,
then vibrate and back to HTC Screen continuously.
Sometimes though it will just be stuck at the "HTC" Screen with no Vibrating, just that screen.

I just tried flashing with the "NRG" ROM, I can't get past the "NRG" bootup screen now, soft reset or battery in/out does not help.
So far have tried 4 different custom ROMS, All give the same problem, stuck at the intro screen after the flash.
Also the installer on the computer doesn't say what my current Image is.
Any help greatly appreciated.

hello,
please try the following.
On the back of your phone, the battery cover (metalic) comes over 2 small metal pins. The phone will detect if these 2 pins make an electric contact, aka if the backplate is mounted. Some HTC have either microcontracts or magnetic sensors to prevent a phone to be flashed or to boot with the battery cover missing or improperly attached. This is because without the cover, there is a greater risk to have the battery disconnected or to fall, thus interrupting a reflash process.
Older HTC's would either prevent a bootup in case of missing cover or simply didn't start-up at all. I don't know what's with hd2 but i had one of them with exactly the same problem, and knowing that i checked those small metalic pins. One of them wasn't making a proper contact with the metalic cover, after i fixed that the phone was able to corecty flash a stock rom from the microsd card.
However, i repeat, i don't know if this is really the case with HD2, i may have just been lucky. One more thing, if in the end the phone woun't recover from this, i suspect a nand memory corruption. Kind of like bad sectors on a hard drive. Back some time ago, i only manage to fix a broken device with this problem after doing some welding on the cpu and connecting the board with a pc via jtag interface. Then i could mark the bad sectors as "unavailable" and correctly flash a bootloader.
Sorry for the english as i live in a non english speaking country.
LE. nevermind that, did a hardware check with some equipment, the battery cover issue is not the case with HD2. The problem seems thermal related, - if you cool the phone to 5-6 degrees celsius, the problem should either dissapear or occur less frequently. I suspect the CPU soldering to be crappy in this model, so when the chip heats up the small solder balls (the chip is BGA mounted) either don't make a proper contact due to dilatation in the chip itself or the solder materrial. Aah, i really don't know how to put it in english. However i still have a hd2 with this problem. It's worth disasembling it and trying some fancy soldering with a smd rework station.

HD2 vibrations
By me it was HARDWARE problem.
Try to give phone to 5 celsius for few minutes. After try to flash.
By it works, but after doesn't want to power on.
