Hi,
if i connect my HTC Touch HD with my computer, it's just charging, nothing more. If i go to Bootloader, there is just written Serial even if its connected.
I am using Dutty ROM since some weeks and didn't had any problems till a few days ago, the strange thing is, that i didn't change anything.
I tried it on my laptop and on my computer the one with windows vista the other one with win xp, it worked on both, but not anymoe.
i also have a problem with the camera, if i press it nothing happens it just stays in the menu. Some days ago i got a error failed to initialize camera, but no more error anymore.
In my opinion my hardware is broken somehow, i hope someone in here can tell me sth different and a solution.
And if my hardware is broken, how can flash my original rom back without an usb connection, because the warenty will be gone with a custom rom i think.
I hope someone can help me.

A hard reset will quickly tell you if it's hardware or software and you don't need usb for that. There is also an option which dictates what the phone does when connected via usb, so you might want to check that option first.
need to read & search a little more
last paragraph of this post outlines how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1
i did hardreset, but still same problem
what i also noticed, is that sometimes my display don't work, i have sound and vibrate feedback, but i see just a black display, softreset etc doesen't work somehow i have to take of the battery.
i noticed also that the usb cable is a bit broken, but it still charges the phone.
but i already saw that normal usb cable should work too, so i tried it but no change.
i guess i will try to get the stock rom again now and see what happens
well like i thought, i can't get the stock rom, because i dont have a usb connection
any more suggestions?

There is 2 methods to flashing roms. Have you tried SD card method?
1. Download ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "BLACIMG.nbh"
2. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
3. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
4. Turn off your device by using the Power Button
5. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
6. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
7. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
thanks god i didn't bring the phone to shop yet xD
thank u, i will check this method i will post here if it works later
well now i have another problem
there is written upgrade rom code error please try again on bootloader, i cant turn it on anymore it gets stuck on the loading screen of the flashing progress

I had this exact same problem a while back after a bad flash. What you need to do is flash carriers orginal stock rom onto device. This will be the only rom which will work. Go to wiki section on stock roms here and download your original rom and flash it. Don't worry if bottom of bootloader is blank or doesn't say 'usb', original rom will flash anyhow.
More info read this thread
i am downloading right now, hopefully it will work, i will write more infos later
thank u for your help, without you, i would be lost...
i am stuck, i get error 206 connection
i downloaded stock rom to my pc
and i'm a bit confused, my pc noticed that i pluged in the phone, my device manager showed my phone, this worked only one time, now nothing...
EDIT: in bootloader mode, serial staus doesnt switch to usb or blank, updateing usb driver doesn't work without usb connection to device, at least i didnt found sth here
i will try it on my other computer now, but i doubt it will work
EDIT2: got usb connection for some seconds, problem is my hardware of device its broken somehow, if i press on th eback of the device i am able to get usb connection, now it failed, i will give it some more tries, there was sth 294 ID error
EDIT3: seems like its the wrong rom, how can i find out which rom will work?
EDIT4: semms like i got a working rom its at 10%
EDIT5: Device working again, usb working perfectly again, dunno why, but camera still doesnt work, there happens nothing if i press on it and display turns black sometimes as before.
i flashed an O2 Rom now, from my provider.
My last question now is, what about warranty, how can i know that uspl/hsapl is fully removed from device and how to find out if device is now a case of warrnty, where can i check it? because i want a working camera again, so i think i need the warranty
Some infos:
O2 Provider ROM flashed
On Bootloader i see:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
In my opinion its fine for warranty, but i want someone to confirm this.
And thank you alot for ur help and work in this forum =)
If you have an official HTC upgrade rom on your device you are fine for warranty. As your SPL says 1.54.0000 this means you haven't got USPL or HSPL on your device, so you're fine.
thank you very much
Hello all,
I'm not sure but i think my blackstone is on its last legs.
It all started after i flashed to Dutty's last rom the r15 one. Did the usual uspl and eveything went to plan. Then about a week ago the phone frooze, i could'nt get it to reset so had to take the battery out (no biggy). Then tried turning it back on, and it just frooze again right at the windows start-up screen. So did a hard reset and the phone seemed very slow and jumpy.
Then i thought maybe the download of dutty's rom wasn't the best. So today i had planned to install a different rom and see if it was just a bad download or sumthing. And heres the big problem, i can't get the bootloader to connect to my pc.
And what seems strange is that when i enter the bootloader it flashes up with the re/green/blue/white screen andt ehn it shows a grey screen with "loading......." for about 10 seconds then comes back the normal bootloading screen. As usual serial pops up at the bottom, but when connected to my pc it won't show USB!!
I have win7 64, but i have set it up so i can flash using USPL as thats how i got dutty's R15 rom on there.
Any help would be great and hopfully i can get this sorted swn as i love my hd.
p.s
i've spent the past 2 hours searching here and havent found anyone with the same problem.
Thanks
Antony
if you could update from the sd card that would solve some of your problems.but i realy do not know if it is working if you do not have HSPL.
maybe you can find some info on the forums about updating via sd card without HSPL.
or you could try to connect to a computer with other operating system than windows 7.
i am now installing the stock rom.
hopefully then i wil be able to install a cooked rom again.

Thanks for the help,
I will see what the outcome is from the stock rom. And if i can't get it working again with win7 then i'll have to set up my mini pc (made a pc inside an old nintendo SNES) as thats got xp running
thanks once again
just for my curiosity what method are you using to flash a stock rom if you cannot connect to computer through usb?

Well after more hours spent reading thro web page after web page, i stumbled over someone saying that it could be down to the usb cable and i have a few mini usb one, so tried them all, finally got the bootloader to show the usb.
I was then going to install a cooked rom, but thought i'd be the best to go for stock first.
All is working ok now. I'm not sure if it was down to the usb cable totally tho as it was a bit strange the whole grey loading screen on the bootloader which has gone now with the stock rom.
ah well looks like its fixed for now.
Hello,
I've got a problem with my Blackstone. I just flashed the latest topix Rom trough SD card and all went well (rom update:succes), and then i did a HR. But ever since then the screen won't turn on. I tried to softreset, hardreset, removing the battery for a few minutes and turn on, and entering bootloader. The screen stayed black. When i plug in the usb charge cable the orange led does go on, and when i press the power button the phone vibrates for half a second and plays the bootsound (as usual). I can even get an activesync connection with my pc.
Suggestions anyone?
Edit: Just flashed a new Rom (the latest energyrom); screen still stays black. I am still able to get an activesync connection + orange/green led
EDIT2: people in this thread seem to be having thesame problem I have with my blackstone. It seems to be a hardware defect... Now let's hope it will be repaired under warranty
Ok, I'm replying instead of editing because I've got a new problem now
I want to return my phone to claim warranty. I did manage to flash a stock rom + radio, but the problem is i use hspl and i am unable to flash a stock spl to the device. When I run the Hardsplwrapper-Blackstone.exe (doesnt matter wether its the unsigned olinex or the 1.56 olinex version) I get a 260: connection error when i use Windows XP, and a 202: connection error when using Windows 7.
The wiki says to run SSPL manually from a file explorer in your phone... But without a working screen that is a bit hard. I als don't have any screen viewing app installed on my device...
EDIT: also tried installing mymobiler to be able to view the screen but I am unable to connect...
Anyone?
I managed to flash stock spl by putting the device in bootloader manually while I had it connected to usb. Then I waited til the bootloader connected to my pc (I could tell because the "new hardware found"screen popped up). then I ran the hspl.exe and copied the stock .nbh spl file. After that I was able to finish the wizard
ok, another question (sorry mods for replying to my own thread _again_ )
I flashed a stock rom + radio and stock SPL (version 1.14). Is this enough to be able to claim warranty, or will HTC find out that i've been using HSPL and custom firmwares? I wouldn't like to have to pay for repairs because they find out about that.
OK - So I have been playing around with my HD2 by installing Android....finally, it stopped working and simply loads the "HTC Simply Brilliant Screen" over and over.
BUT it only attempts to load the screen with the phone is plugged in...it is a brick if it is not plugged in.
SO...what i decided to do was install another ROM, using TASK29 and then Kumar Leo Rom Series. It installed successfully.
Exact same problem...just a different splash screen (I now see Kumar Leo Rom Series splash).
HELP!!!!!!!
Good New: I can still change ROMs as the boot loader is accessible.
Bad News: When this phone is disconnected to the computer or power source it is a brick. And when it is plugged in, I can only get to the splash screen and it reloads...forever.
Any assistance which helps re-enable my phone is absolutely worth a PayPal credit to someone's account.
bent battery pins?
can you get to the boot loader using battery, if yes try flashing a stock ROM with all SPL,Radio,OS etc included from the storage card.
if not, one other thing is to access bootloader with it plugged in- by pressing volume down and the reset button at the back whilst usb plugged in
Have you tried removing and installing the battery again?
Yep - pins were the problem
YEP, that was the problem...the PINS were "misaligned" which caused my machine to go crazy....thanks for the help...I was up until 2am trying to figure out the problem and I just didn't get it...luckily the ordeal made me try some custom roms though...so I guess that is worth my headache...
Thanks again for the quick responses...this thread can be closed as SOLVED.
Hello, my friend brings me HTC HD2 T8585 yesterday. It seems like it's not T-mobile (white "call" and "end" buttons, no t-mobile label on the top). It freezes on "Energy star", just writes ROM and radio version on the bottom left and freezes. Now it has radio 2.09.51.xxx. If I try to update it to xx.50.xx it stops switching on, recognising by USB and charging at all. Totally bricked. But I have found strange way to reanimate it. I'm pulling battery out (for 5-10 minutes), reset HD2 few times by red button, insert it back, push reset few times again, plug USB cable inside, charging battery 5 minutes by external 5V adapter is also helps sometimes (now it has 3.85V), and sometimes it possible to switch it on (1 time on 10 tryings). When it switched on, it's possible to update radio back to xx.51.xx version and after that it switches on very distinctly, but freezes on Energy star again (it refuses to boot any flashed rom). It's possible to install android on this HTC with xx.50.xx radio. I did it and it works (but freezes then I'm trying to make a call). Of course to boot android on xx.50.xx I need to pull and insert battery, press reset and make special magic dance...
I have a loop here: to boot android I need new Radio Update.
To switch the phone on without magic spells I need old 2.09.51 Radio.
Sometimes it's possible to boot firmware on 2.09.51. I don't know how i got it, but after 5 minutes of freezing on "energy star" it booted up stock firmware i flashed before.
I don't know what to do. Is it hardware failure?
I'm not sure what you have, but there's no "energy star" on my device?!
any screenshots for the device/the screen that it freezes on?

by energy star, do you mean the energy rom boot screen? The energy rom WILL NOT boot with a ..51.. radio. It must have a ..50.. radio for it to work.
OR - have you been flashing custom boot screens? there is an 'energy star' bootscreen, made to look like a PC bios boot screen, is that what you mean?
flashing a radio without HSPL, , you are mistaken, that cannot be done.
we need more direct info to help, i'm afraid. Screen shots or at least full filenames of what you have flashed LAST would be great.

Okay I'll try to tell full story. This phone was previosly updated to custom W.M. 6.5 rom (by my friend's friend I don't know him directly). I don't know which rom he used. May be he changed splash screen (wow I found it! i always thought it's real boot time proccess for HTC HD2 ) . Yesterday my friend brought this phone to me with two problems: 1: slow and not stable booting (sometimes it freezed on splash screen 2: After (and if) it loads WM, it crashes in very short time to screen full of green colour. So I tryed to install Hyper Droid. First I downloaded HSPL4 and updated HSPL from 1.66.0000 to 2.08.HSPL . After that I tryed to install MAGLDR and phone showed only Energy Star splash screen. After short googling I decided to update radio. After updating it to 2.15.50 phone switched off and i was not able to switch it on (like described in this post). I disconnected battery and after few tryings it switched on and loads MAGLD, i prepared partition (150MB file) and update zipped rom from SD card. Between these steps I disconnected battery many times, because it was impossible to switch phone on after reboot. I spend about 2 hours and Android was installed but phone freezed after 2 minutes (charging animation stoped and it didn't respond on buttons). Also I got 100% freezing then I tryed to make a call.
I tryed different version of Radio (about 7) and found 2.x.51.x working more stable (phone switching on by pressing button or connecting usb cable) . 2.x.50.x all have same switching on issues ;( . Now I updated HSPL to 3.03.HSPL and found that it (?) resolved issue with charging LED (it stayed ON after usb cable disconnecting) . Now I'm downloading stock 1.66 region free firmware and will try to flash it..

I found LEO of my friend is from Singapoure (thanks this) ) s/n: SH0CLNW03xxx . I tryed my s\n on htc singapoure support site and now i'm downloading original firmware!
After further researching I decided this phone has battery/mainboard failure. It freezes and makes green screen of death randomly, especialy often under high power consuption or while disconnecting USB cable. I flashed Rom directly from SD card, because usb update didn't work for me. Now it has stock firmware with stock splash screen. 3.03.0000 SPL and 2.15.50 radio. I'm giving up. Thank you all, here are a lot of useful information.
Did you do a hard reset after flashing the stock ROM. if that didn't do the trick, you could send it to maintenance now that it has stock WinMo on it.
Yes i did hard reset, it didn't help, I think it's need a bit work with soldering dryer. May be CPU or other chip has bad connection to mainboard... I've found i can get 100% GSOD by shacking phone or knocking its back cover. I don't know why it has difference with 51 and 50 radio. Now if it's freezed i'm pulling out the battery for one minute, and it switches on with 95% warranty. With radio 51 it switches on without need of battery removing.
