OK, here what's the deal: a few days ago I cracked the screen, so I bought a new one and replaced it. BUT, now the phone does not recognize it and the screen doesn't turn on at all. The phone boots and it's working fine, I can recieve calls normaly, but the screen is dead. ALSO, the volume keys stoped functioning...
Any ideas please? I'm getting kinda desperate here...
Tnx
You probably messed up somwhere in your wiring. Open it back up and make sure everything is intact. Check out some guides online to make sure everything is in the proper place.
Allready done that, everything is in place...I do have a cooked ROM thought I can't remember which since my screen is not working, obiveously...Could it be tha I nedd to switch back an original ROM for it to be able to recognize the new hardware??? And is there an app that would allow me to monitor phones activity over PC???
No, A cooked rom wont affect a screen replacement in anyway.
I repaired mine while KWBR's Topix 6.5 was on the handset, infact Ive never had this handset on a stock rom, so it wont make a difference or help you.
Did you buy your Screen and Digitizer factory pre-assembled, the small price difference compared to buying the part standalone is worth every cent in preventing these sorts of after repair problems.
Hi, what are the symptoms of software bricked HD2?
I have HTC HD2 but not sure whats wrong with it, no power what so ever, no leds etc however the battery does charge. (Strange I know)
I got the phone like this so not sure how it happened
Thanks
Maybe the display have a problem not lighting up or something!
To tell you the truth; HTC HD2 is a bit difficult to software brick it imo! Take it back from where you bought it and change it!
The screen is fine, it doesnt connect to the pc or anything.
It might have been bricked by flashing TMOUS radio, just wanna know what the symptons are if that happens. If there the same symptoms as mine Ill send it off to get JTAG'd
I bought it faulty.

That sounds like a bricked HD2() like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068989.
Thanks for the link, could be a software or hardware fault. I'll try and get a phone shop to look it.
When you say "the screen is fine".... how do you know if its not displaying anything. Could be an LCD fault, how do you know the battery is charging...??
Im a bit confused by this one.
Apologies if I've missed something obvious, somewhat drunk.
As your on O2 im gonna assume your in the UK and its an EU HD2 (T8585).
If so, it cannot be bricked by flashing a tmous radio.......
I know its charging because the battery warms up and I checked in my other HD2 lol.
Its not an LCD fault as it doesnt even connect to the PC etc. Its just dead apart from that it charges the battery.
You wanted the symtoms of a hardware or hard bricked HD2. Well they are as follows.
1. The HD2 will vibrate and the hardware buttons will light up but it will not display anything but a black screen, not the first splash screen.
2. You can not boot into bootloader by holding the volume down button down while powering on the HD2.
3. On some hard bricked HD2s they will still apear to charge but it is not really charging the battery properly because the charging software is not working properly, thos is why your battery gets hot.
4. The HD2 is not recognized by the computer at all or only as Qualcomm something.
These are the symtoms I know for a hard bricked HD2.
Yours sounds like a case of a hard bricked HD2. In case the shop that you carry your HD2 to does not offer a JTAH service for the HD2 I can put you in contact with someone that can JTAG your HD2.
Thanks for that, How much does the person you know charge? I can get it Jtag'd for around £40
Sorry it tooke a little while to get back to you but the person I know charges $50 USD plus you pay whatever shipping and handling it is to ship the HD2 to him. But he lives in the US so you might be better of if you can get it done localy. But the guy I know is very good.
Ok thanks for that, Ill let you know if I cant get it done locally.
Hi. I have a problem with my HD2 and I didn't find a solution how to fix it for over a month and I don't think I will find it. My problem explained (HERE) So now I want to Brick / Brake my phone so that I can send it to my insurance and they will not able to tell that I had Android on it, as now I can't install WM and I can't rid of MAGLDR. So what will be the best way to Brick / Break my phone so what whey will not be able to turn my phone on or fix it and find out that it’s been hacked as then I will not get a new one or they will not fix it. Waiting for advices

I see a lot of solutions, but nobody seems to have told you to boot up your phone using volume down, which gets you directly into the bootloader, from where you can flash the Winmo 6.5 ROM.
Did you try that?
Otherwise there are numerous ways of trashing it i guess... mess around with electrical wiring and make sure the mainboard has a power spike or something... then you're sure nobody will be able to do something with it
Of course I tried it. The problem is that for some reason I can't get into bootloader, and I tried to do that 100 times with all different methods with no luck. I only can get into MAGLDR. I wrote all this in my first message in that threat
Well, from what i can understand after looking at your original post, you cannot enter the tri-color bootloader? Well, have you tried a hard reset? And, when you mentioned liquid entered your phone, you should also check the water indicator stickers on your phone and battery to see if they are pick or red. Else, they will not bother replacing or repairing it. Have you also tried resetting Android from MAGLDR? Back to your request, if you cannot enter the bootloader and unable to flash anything, the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void. The best way to physically damage your phone might be to short circuit it. Alternatively, if you just do not want them to know that you have flashed MAGLDR, you should damage the ribbon cable for the LCD. You have to unscrew the phone for this,but do gently remove the warranty and water indicator stickers before this. Please do explore all avenues like a hard reset and Android reset
i just got off the phone with htc and thay still fix the phone even if it has android on it thay will just replace the main bord because thay dont know how to fix it. but i have bricked my phone alredy and it wont turn on at all due to flashing a wrong rom on it that was ment for a diffrent country my phone is htc hd2 tmoble us. anyway you may just want to fix it your self and use the riff jtag box

Yes, I cannot enter bootloader and yes I tried hard reset (with volume up and down keys) with no luck. I checked my indicator stickers and they all look fine (white). The liquid damage was not a water damage I get a little bit of oily liquid on my phone but just a little, so very little of it could get inside my phone if any, but after that my phone just frozen on android screen and when I tried to reset it, it’s always freezes on android boot screen. And yes I tried resetting Android from MAGLDR, I even tried to install different android soft but after installation it still freezes on android boot screen.
Code:
the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void
Can you explain more about his one? And how I can do that?
I don't really want to unscrew anything because if I going to do something wrong I would void my insurance and they not going to change it at all. I was thinking maybe just drop it in a big cup of water and hold it for like 30sec - 1min. I think my insurance will cover water damage and I think whey not even going to bother to fix it. What do you think?

The thing is that I have insurance on it not a warranty. If I only had just a warranty I will think of fixing it by my self with jtag. But now I just need to think of how to break it so whey don't know it was hacked pay to my insurance £20 - £30 and I should get brand new HD2
bump !
High voltage electrical charge: via stun gun or similar high voltage output such as automobile ignition coil ect ... Have seen a stun gun used on a computer, killed it without any obvious signs of damage ...
Hello all.
I have a HD2 that I havent done anything with, exept getting and installing some small programs.
No new ROM, no attempt to install W7, its more or like a Virgin.
However I made a fool of me, and managed to damage the LCD and finally got it changed. Got the Phone back from the company (MBlue Ltd in UK), and tried to start it up. But No....
Pressing ON, the phone vibrates, gives some light in the screen, sort of like you see its ON its a "white glow", but you dont get any more. The Jingle comes on, theres light in my buttons at the low end of phone, and NOTHING more.
I have had it on for long time, but nothing....
When I finally sendt the phone away, the battery was discharged, but as I have a new battery I put that in, and it charges and all.
Ive studied this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638210
But as I CAN charge I fell that Im somewhat related but not fully in the same situation as the Original Poster there.
# Could it be that my phone somewhat has gotten overheated or anything else?
# Is the only and best solution to send it to HTC and let them look on it?
Ive tried to HARD and SOFT reset, but still nothing.
[EDIT] Connecting the phone to my PC, It is recognised and its recognised as a HD2 T8585
Looking more and reading more on the Forum I suspect theres a problem in the connection between the "fx-card" and the screen. (stupid way of saying it though)
Glad for any input here. Thanks in advance.

Does your computer synchronize with your phone(connecting to activesync/mobile device center)? Then it is booted in Windows Mobile, the possibility is that the screen is broken then.
I thought the Screen might not be properly connected, or broken yes.
I better get in contact with the repair company.
But if other too have opininons, please bring em on... ;-)
Returned to repairplace, they fixed it.
My best guess is thy didnt check their own repair so they had to connect/fix something.

Good point, they're responsible for their repair: it is better this way because it's possible they damaged something while repairing and that part, if needs replacement, it should be their obligation, not yours!
Hey guys I'm about to buy an HD2 on ebay and it reads this description :
when you start up the phone, it stops at the first screen and freezes... or sometimes stays on black screen.
so it could be a simple fix for repairs, or use for parts.
im winning the bid so now my question is. Is this a hardware problem or like i can restore it with a new rom and see if it works.
It could be either. If you do get it, my suggestion would be to install cLk or MaGLDR to bypass the bootloader - that would be the most likely thing that would be broken if it freezes. If they do work, then your phone should be fine.
Schweet man! Congrats I bet you picked it up at a decent price too.
First get the hd2 toolkit ( this this is invaluable when it comes to getting this baby where she needs to be!)
I would task 29 and start her out from scratch! Good luck !!!
Here's the link to the HD2 toolkit.
I bought a HD2 off ebay in 09 for $80 that was in mint condition with the same issues listed. Now i've learned a lot since then but at the time i could not get it working no matter what i did. I called HTC who repairded it for free since it was still under warranty. With that said you may run into some problems fixing this but I feel if you get the phone around $150 and under and you dont get it working you should still be able to resell it and get most if not all of your money back. There has always been a demand for this model phone so i would go ahead and buy it.

that depends a lot on whats wrong, those do not bypass the bootloader as such, they extend it, if the SPL is buggered then its buggered unless you can replace it.
your issue could be a number of things, it might just need a reflash, if at all possible get it in to the original bootloader, and SD card flash an original stock ROM for that device, that will overwrite everything.
Course if you cant get the bootloader working then unless you know someone that can connect it up and reflash it your looking at sending it away
another problem could be the RAM, or NAND, several times folk have run in to problems with these getting buggered up, if so your screwed.
On a side note I would ask about screen bleeding, on second hard devices you can sometimes get a lot of leakage through the screen from the back light making lighter blobs on the screen, this is very noticeable on light or white background, dark backgrounds doesn't really show to bad but its worth asking for... good luck!
Hey thanks guys for the reply. I picked it up for 65$ it's coming today free shipping and everything. I had a HD2 before but sold it for a iPhone 4 (Horrible Decision) So I picked up another one. The thing is with this HD2 it has no Rom, Radio information in the bottom left at boot up. I'm assuming it's Task29'd right.
Once you got it, we'll be happy to help
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Alright guys. Today I received my HD2 in the mail and I had one once before in the past. I bought this on Ebay claimed it was broken because it was stuck on the stick together screen I got it for 65$ and now I turned it on it was stuck there. I went to the bootloader it was SPL 2.08 and now I removed the battery but I can't get any response to turn on anymore. When I plug in a charger theres no orange led. I checked the back on the phone it looked like it was opened up before because the void label is all smashed but visible. Is it bricked? The seller said it would sometimes go stick together or stay black. I'm trying my best to turn it back on atleast to bootloader because I have no ****ing working USB to PC cable. and keep it like that till I get one. Any help?
Okay i just got it to turn on but I didn't get the chance to enter the bootloader just Stick Together. I have no clue if it's just random or the battery is going poop. I will try to get it to respond at least so I can enter the bootloader and find a working usb cable. It doesn't even say "Serial" when i enter it.
IT TOOK ME FREAKING FOREVER. But. I got it working on the bootloader with "Serial" SPL 2.10. I'm hopping this thing can stay on long enough to go get a working usb charger.

do you have anyPC- USB cables or USB mains charger.
it sounds like your first problem is the battery is dead, get it in bootloader and leave it plugged in, it takes ages but it will charge up assuming your charger is give it more than 200mA, failing that, get an external charger, to be honest with the current state of the HD2 and WP7 battery usage its worth while getting a charger an second battery any way!
