Hi!!!
I don't know if there's any help possible for this pda, but here it goes.
When i turn it on it gets stuck on this screen where the Htc logo was supposed to be.
This happened once when i was flashing it with another rom, my computer froze and i had to restart it, and then i was like that for ever and never came back to normal.
I took to a store that repairs cellphones in Portugal, but they said the was nothing they could do.
Here's the screen where it gets stuck:
Any sugestion?
Thanx in advance
did you try a hard reset?

hello there,
I have flashed my T-Mobile Wing and i currently have TouchFlo.
Unfortunately i'm having mayor problems with this O.S., It constanly freezes, if i'm writting a text it will go back to the home page without me doing anything, I have an outlook account every time I go to my e-mails to see them it freezes and it wont do anything else i have to reset the device.
Great looks, wont denie that, but it's just not working for me.
If someone could help me return my T-mobile wing back to O.G. settings.
Please I would Greatly apprecitated!!!

I assume you flashed another ROM and not just installed TouchFlo onto your stock ROM? How did you flash the ROM, what ROM did you flash? Has the freezing always been this way since you flashed?
Sorry I can't give a ton of answers without more information.
ok ok .... to start out i'm a mayor nub when it comes to this..
onward, I saw a video on youtube with directions on how to flash your device...ok i plugged my T-mobile usb to my my laptop i downloaded a .rar file named "flashing with rapi enabled" It told me to put this rapi folder that was in the .rar file in my t-mobile documents,i extracted the file in desktop, double clicked it and this black box appeared with and started to to its thing.. thats it i think i flashed it DID I? The freezing started ever since i got it.
thanks for your prompt reply man appreciate it!!
Okay... The method you used is called a USPL flash. Is the device you are using a T-Mobile Wing?
EDIT: Just read your first post, nevermind about that question.
You have two choices here. You can flash back to the stock ROM... You can do this by downloading the T-Mo Stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321717 . Put the phone in bootloader by holding the camera button while pressing the stylus into the reset hole. Maker sure the phone is connected to your computer. Run the installer.
or
You can flash another ROM like JustStable v2 or JustHome. You can find more info here: http://thewingster.com/ivanmmj.aspx This is what I recommend as they are great and fast ROMs. A lot faster than the stock ROM. TO flash these, you can follow the same directions you saw in the video. Just replace the nbh file in the RUU folder with the one you download from that site. Note: You cannot flash any of the ROMs marked with LZX or Micro with the method you followed before
Thanks man! I honestly thank you!
just one last question:
on your NOTE ABOUT LZX OR MICRO ROMS how would i tell which is which? are the ROMS that you are recommending LZX OR MICRO? i really dont understand.
Thanks man!!

alright man u came to da right place
first if u still have ur touchflo rom installed then good
now hard reset the touchflo if it freezes try as many time as you can get to the point where it restarts
then when it restart connect ur wing to pc and download the pagepool size
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JB2AC9FD
then open it (make sure active sync is enabled)
then open it there are couple of .nb and .bat files
open 6mb or 8mb (which changes the pagepool)
6mb is recommened
on ur wing it going to ask to open some file
(on custom roms it wont ask)
so after dat then it should exit itself
then disconnect usb from pc and reset ur wing (use a pen or something pointy to press the reset button on the left under volume button)
Well miltus, u just got ur wing back!!!!!!!!!!
trust me it wont freeze anymore on start up or anyway
it might freeze if you keep sliding it back and forth
it will freeze if TOO many programs running in backround example if 20 programs running then yes it will freeze.
oh yeah if u still have official rom (4.10.2.523 something like that)
then this will work, only it will be faster!!!
oh yeah say thinks!!!!!!!
thanks for the feed back man appreciate it!! but i changed the TouchFlo for another ROM named JUSTHOME WORKS GREAT!!!
Thank you for your help!!!
Hi there,
Normally when I flash my rom and the device reboots automatically, I remove the battery when I see "Smart Mobility", place the battery back and do the hard reset.
I was wondering, is this the right way to do it? It sounds like you could mess up the phone by doing that.
never heard that... But I always do it the secure way: let the phone finish booting and then shutdown + hard-reset... costs you 2 minutes
regards
Personally I remove battery at smart mobility screen and hard reset before phone goes to automatic setup. I've flashed hundreds of roms with no issue doing this....plus it saves me a couple mins each time
Why Hardreset?
why is it necessary to make a hard reset ? When i flash my new ROM the HTC does make a hardreset itsself - or am i wrong with it ?

Flashing a ROM, cleans only some of the files on the device, if I am not mistaking. If you do a hard reset, then you delete the extra "bagage", that the previous ROM left.
Cheers.
another silly question ...
Yes I need an answer dear Moderators and other senior members who have deeeeeep knowledge on this flashing pain...
Do i need to flash also radio ? or just flashing a rom will be enough ? I want to flash a ROM but I do not know if I need to flash radio same time ????
Please enlighten me about this issue.
Thanks in advance for your precious time.

Radios and roms have nothing to do with each other, you could use 100 diffrent roms with your stock radio and there will be no problem, on the other hand diffrent radios mite give you better power management or reception
Personaly i`ve flashed 50+ roms and never hard reset anytime.
I`ve never had any issues and only suffer the same bugs that everybody else in the threads are suffering...
Firstly sorry for the long post.
I'm having a few problems with my HD2, and I'm looking solutions that dont involve flashing the t-mobile ROM (which is 1.43.110.2). I have all the HTC patches installed.
The problems I'm having are ...
*Favourites are disappearing sporadically. I cant figure out whether they're going when I sync it up or just purely at random. They stay on the internet tab but disappear from the favourites menu. Folders are not affected.
*Music player: Lags. I have to wait about 2-3 minutes before a song starts playing on the first attempt, then its fine. This happens even if the little spinning circle hasn't appeared (this appears after you have updated the storage card by syncing with media player). Also when sliding album art back and forth in landscape mode, it freezes, and then jumps back to the beginning of the stack. Didn't used to do this.
*Music Sync - my biggest nightmare right now; I really need help on this one! Sync in windows 7 windows mobile device manager works fine. When I load up WM player and attempt to sync the storage card however, the device will sync for a couple of minutes, and then soft reset itself.
Hopefully when 6.5.3 comes out officially HTC will roll up all the crappy patches and T-mobile will approve it... but until then I'm stuck with these annoyances (in addition of course to crappy SMS, constant crashing, lags etc., which I certainly wasn't expecting when I got my shiny new HD2
I was in a similar boat to you. The Tmo ROM is really poor and I hate to tell you this but 1.48 or 1.61 are the answer.
If you really can't consider that option, I'd say that you should do a hard reset and see what issues you still have with a fresh ROM. The original T mo ROM is on here somewhere. download that as a backup before you do anything, just for safety.
realy sorry mate but he is right try and see if you can get hole of a free goldcard i run 1.48 insted of t-mob its not purfect but worls alot better
Thanks for your responses. I guess flashing is the only option, cos right now this phone really is virtually unusable. I'll have to try and get my head around the whole goldcards thing but if I get stuck I'll start a new thread...
Thx!

Hi mate, had the same issue. The gold card thing isn't too bad, theres a great idiots guide on here that I used, the hardest bit is getting the number off the MicroSD card, dont do what I did and lose all my data on it (as you edit some values which makes Windows no longer recognise it sometimes). Take a copy of whats on there just incase. Again there is a post that mentions a way of reversing the change so you have lost all your data on the memory card.
Good luck, I did without any probs to flash from 1.43 to 1.48 using the Goldcard method
I have the same problem with favourites and i'm on the 2.02 ROM. I never touch IE on my computer though so i've not put much thought into what happens with the sync. I'm just throwing together a wee app to sync it with Firefox though so that will solve my issues.
As for synching it with media player (and i'm old school - I drag and drop files), could there be any corrupt/unrecognisable data in your playlist? You could try a drag/drop dump of music onto your device and see if that works.

There is now HSPL and SSPL available so goldcard is no longer required, using SSPL or HSPL is much easier too
Hi, I converted my T-Mobile HD2 to 1.48 using SSPL. After a couple of teething troubles with Firewalls and a hanging Activsync - fixed with a PC restart it worked just great. It scared me twice when it hung in the boot loader but taking the battery out and restarting fixed it. I made a goldcard aswell just in case but do not really know if it would have worked.
Now its loaded The HD2 seems faster, has more programs and the battery seems to last longer particularly with WLAN.
I still have 1 open question though that I have, touch wood, not had to find the answer for yet. If I do a hard reset which ROM reboots, T-Mobile or the 1.48? Perhaps somebody here knows? I would be grateful to find out before I have to try it out.
Good luck and hopefully it works as well for you.

i believe if you hard reboot it will revert to the Tmobile rom.. as you used SSPL... only if you do a HSPL will it stay... correct me if i'm wrong guys

Incorrect...your Rom does not change regardless of flashing method SSPL or HDSPL. If using the SSPL method a hard reset will remove the SSPL only, and your SPL ONLY will revert back to original, Your latest Rom does not change....
Thanks for the quick responses guys but I am still a bit confused - sorry.
Perhaps in laymans terms -
If I have to hard reset, when the phone reboots will I get all of the T-mobile c**p again and have to go through the SSPL process again- which is not easy when on a business trip, or will I keep the HTC version.
If as I think I understood from band27 I get the HTC version back but lose the SSPL what effect will that have?
thanks again
No, When you hard reset you will get exactly the same ROM as you have before you hard reset. IT will be just like the first time the phone booted after you initially re-flashed it.
The only way to return it to T-Mobile's ROM is to find the download that 'football' posted a few weeks ago and flash it.
Plz let a noob continue this question
If i use SSPL to flash a cooked ROM and for some reason want to go back to a original ROM, how?
Is it correct that i only take my original ROM and flash it as usual, or do i need to do annything els?
Do i need a goldcard?
Plz help a noob
Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.
The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

thank you, now when you do that, does it reset the phone to factory settings?
or keep those as I set them?
it will set the phone to factory settings.
Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.
don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.
currently i have ENERGY rom loaded into it but won't start. stuck on the NRG loading screen

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?
K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
