hi guys,
i acquired my XDA II jst 2 wks ago and now it's stuck with its O2 blue screen , no matter what reset i do. it's not even being read by active sych. the only thing i was doing before it happened, i was sending an sms and suddenly it hanged. so i restarted it, but it did not went through anymore, just up to the O2 bluescreen :x .
have anybody experience this error with their XDA II? is there a work around in this problem? thanks in advance for the help. :wink:
also after a hardreset ?
yes sir! :shock: after so many hard resets....
well since a hardreset unlike a softreset should clear the mem taking it back to how it were when you first got it
there must be something pretty much wrong with the device
i would
1 send it back to get fixed
2 try and upgrade / downgrade the rom from the bootloader
I hope you're an intermediate level user, cuz i'm suggesting you try reflashing the os (i mean since it apparently is dead now) via bootloader.
It can be done cuz i made a mistake in flashing once and it got stuck on the bootloader, but i was able to reflash it to a fixed state.
so visit the forum about the T-Mobile 1.60.36 RUU update, read it thoroughly, get the needed tools and do the needed steps before flashing. . . .the get your unit into bootloader (if it can) then flash away and pray it solves your problem
cheers,
Carlo
i will try your suggestion guys.... thanks so much for the giving feedback to my case... i'll keep you posted what happened.
if there's anything you can add or suggest further, i welcome it....
I have read the wiki, did a search on this forum on white screen, stuck on bootloader and tried the following...
- reflashing the same rom wm6.1
- normal reset will stuck at 4 colors bootloader.
- hard reset with NO, YES, YES option will stuck at white screen.
- downgraded to wm2003
- downgrade success but still stuck at bootloader
Is there anything else I can try!

Tried mtty method, doesn't help either.
Thanks anyway!
I have read all the thread relating to "white screen", "stuck at bootup", "hard reset" with the option No/Yes/Yes every after flashing. this never fails".
Guess my BA is as good as gone!
Strange that I can still flash the BA with various rom from stock to wm6x as well as all version of the radio.
With 2003se, I get stuck at bootup with the O2 logo.
With WM6x, I get stuck on bootup.
When I do a hard reset" with the option No/Yes/Yes, I get a white screen.
This has gotto be the PITA mother of all BA problems.
There is something else that you could try. I remember not too long ago, I saw a method for unbricking Wizards (I nearly did with my wife's old phone) and it said something about doing something via mtty. This was not flashing the rom, but rather something else. +Que PPC might know what I am talking about. In fact, I believe that I saw that method in his signature. PM him and ask him. I will try to find out what I did and I will reply to this (if I can find it )
Edit: Try this
There are a couple of other threads in the Wizard section, so take a look over there and look for something that is not exactly flashing, but that deals with mtty. Alternatively, you could try to pm xplode regarding your problem. I haven't seen him around lately, but he will show up eventually.
Thanks for your reply and links. I did try that but it didn't work.
Anyone who has a ROM dumped of an original O2IIs to SD card?
you should be good by mtty method, search the board for stuck in bootloader
if ot does not help your bootloader is corrupted

hello world!
hi there...
where did you get your wm2003se downgrade??
wm6.5 on my BA is quite slow...
you can probably find the firmware at your carrier's site, or you have a look in -=xplode's firmware archive=- and look for your original firmware there.
Ok, here's my situation:
I just bought a HTC Touch/Elf and I wanted to upgrade a couple of things in it.
FYI, it's not the first time I'm playing around with some HTC Smartphone...I upgraded a 8125 & 8525 from WM5 to WM6.5...anyway..
So, I tried to get to the Bootloader by pressing POWER+CAMERA+RESET ...nothing happened, except that the phone just restarted normally.
I tried to upgrade the USPL...nothing either...
I tried to Hard Reset the phone (maybe this could help...)...nothing there too...
All the things I tried came to the same conclusion = the phone just restarted normally...???
Here's what I could find :
ROM 1.11.706.1B CHS
ROM DATE 05/24/07
Ril VERSION 03.07.90
Protocol 4.1.13.51
WM 6.1 Professional
What can be wrong? Can it be the phone itself?
Is there another way to enter the Bootloader?
Am I missing something...or doing something wrong?
I need your help guys...I've been reading all around the forum for the last 2 days, and I'm going now a bit crazy...LOL
Thanks
Michel
Is your phone stuck ??.. or it's just that it's not going to bootloader??... if your phone is going to today screen ,.. connect to activesync and use the device_info tool from dsixda... and let us know the results
Now the phone is frozen...it boots, then I get a blue screen. The touch screen does not work anymore, the only thing I can do is reset (soft)...and that's it!
I cannot even see it on my PC when I connect it vis USB....
Darn....
to go to bootloader without the reset button(that can be damaged in most models)
take out your battery and hold the power and the camera button
that will get you in the bootloader
if you have unlocked your device then you are lucky if not then you are out of luck
i thought to enter the bootloader it was just the camera button and the soft reset,
hmmm... u learn something new everyday

Yes the phone is unlocked, but NO, it is not working ...again...
Everytime I try to get to the Bootloader, the phone just ''soft-reset'' itself.
I'm guessing that the WM installed is probably corrupted, it freezes on the Start Screen...darn...
Ok...I figured out how to Hard Reset the phone:
POWER + LEFT KEY (green) + MIDDLE BUTTON
Strange???...I never saw this combination anywhere...
Now, I need to figure out the Bootloader combination...

Yes and No....
I was told, before getting the phone that it was an ''original'' HTC, but when I got it, I could clearly see that it was a clone. For the price, I though it would not be a ''real'' one...but I read a lot online about the copies, and except the bootloader thing, it does work like a real HTC.
As far as I'm concern, if the phone works fine, and don't see a problem using a clone, but the clone has to work...
If I can get to the Bootloader, then I can play with it a bit...now I can only installed stuff in it, as a regular WM Smartphone...no challenge here
Can Work - Can't Upgrade

Indeed Elf clones run the same as original but it use modified OS and may contain different hardware so it needs its own drivers and cannot be upgraded by original or cooked HTC roms
Thanks for the reply.
I understand the ''modified OS'', but what if I want to upgrade the RADIO ROM?
Can I use a ''regular'' Touch Radio ROM to do this?

Dont Know about that, look for radio version on your device and see if it is similar to that of touch but search well first or my may get a brick

The Radio ROM now is 03.07.90, which seems to be a ''real'' Touch ROM, as per the WiKi here.
So I'm guessing that I can upgrade the Radio Rom with a more recent one...
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...
I was running my HD2 this morning on Android and it was working peferctly. now no signal appears wether its on windows or android.
can anyone help me please? my radio is 12.
Have you tried turning airplane mode on/off
or reapplying your network settings...........
i think they are under the winmo settings somewhere.....
settings tab.........menu.........all settings...........
connections........ etc..
I have tried them and no luck. I also tried to change the sim card to my old phone and they work I chnaged my radio 3 times and no luck.
I googled it and saw like mostly everyone is having problems and all they did is to return it from where they got it.
What I want is to fix it by myself because my phone i got was from my uncle and he bought that phone from an office mate that is brand new untouched.
How would I fix it without giving it to a company? My phone is factory unlocked.
If youve tried a new radio and it still doesnt work then I cant see any other way of fixing it.......
might be worth trying a completely new start....
task 29 and reflash of an official rom/radio in one go.........
Could you please tell me what is Task 29 and can you help me how?
Apparently, if you hard reset it still doesn't fix the reception problem. So after i do Task 29 would it be possible to do a complete wipe of the phone like it was never hacked before?
EDIT: BTW on your first post you told me to select the network... My phone can not even see a single network.

What I meant was to try and set up the connection as if youd just boted the phone for the first time but if youve done a hard reset and that hasnt fixed it then that wont work either........
gimme a few mins and Ill look up some task 29 links for you....
never used it myself though im afraid........
out of curiousity...... is your wifi/bluetooth still working??
Yes. and my current ROM is stock so is there a problem about that?
ok heres the link to the task29 thread.....
ive never used it so Im not sure on the fine details....
theres a video walkthrough so you cant really go wrong........
after that try flashing a stock rom/radio and see if that helps......
if not then I can only assume its a hardware problem........
The most easy's way is to get beck like your device was in the first time!
Preparing: Download the official Rom fore your device on the HTC website.
You will see it will be a .exe file.
Open the exe file with WinZip, and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file.
Now go here I know there is mention "he ones who know all risks of flashing roms" but if you follow the instructions it is the fastest, simply's and a all in one application.
This Video clip is clear
Thanks guys for helping me but has it been proven that it fixes this?
Are both programs the same? I'm confused, which one should I really run?
After this all setting you have now will be deleted and you restore the settings how it was made by the factory!
The one ore the other don't care wit hone you take, the result will be the same.
The one my friend conantroutman mention will do simply a task29 (Remove everything)
The one I mention will do Task29 + he will install your rom.
Ive never heard of this before..........
this isnt guaranteed to fix the problem but the reason I suggested it is because it is the most complete kind of formatting you can possibly do to your phone and should clear any errors/conflicts with software.....
if it doesnt then I think your looking at a hardware problem but the fact that your wifi/bluetooth still work suggests that its not the hardware...........
Thanks again, I know you never heard of the problem but heres a thread like mine but never solved

you can also google htc hd2 no signal.

Give the Task29 a chance; running Android can changed sometimes needed values, files. To figure out witch one it is, is difficult.
With task29 all settings will be removed, and when you reinstall the official Stock Rom of your device it will be like you start your device fore the first time! so everything must work (normally, if it isn't a hardware problem)
Guys it doesnt work D: !! on the setup screen it found what provider my sim is but it still can't connect.
What do i do now? if it is an antenna, would they able to fix it and where? how can i use HTC's warranty.

It seams to be a hardware issue.
Did you install HSPL in the past?
If yes remove HSPL, if thy see this thy don't accept warranty!
Yeh, but I'm prepaid and i got my phone as a present. (factory unlock)
my HD2 has done pretty much the same thing after running android.
very poor signal, and constantly loosing signal in areas where it got full, and cant pick up 3g or hsdpa anymore, tryed flashing a different radio but no luck any fix yet?
