Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone was having trouble with their slide randomly rebooting. I picked up 2 of them today and it seems my white slide reboots randomly. I'll be taking it back tomorrow, but I figured this thread may let others know that this is happening.
every phone model has some bad "nuts" so to speak.. you just happened to get the bad one out of the batch, sorry man

Yeah, you're right. I swapped it out at the store today and haven't had a problem after 8 hours of use. I love my slide!
so i bricked my phone yesterday. i was downloading a radio the file said it was 2.20.50.19_2 but when i started to load it the ruu program said it was 2.20.51 by the time i realized it was to late.
what i was wondering is what should i do now. i tried to unbrick it but it didnt do anything. all i can do now is take it back to tmobile. do i tell them the truth or do i play stupid. i also have insurrance. so i go that route and say or lost my phone or should i run it over with my car. lol
any help would be great. thanks in advance!
Cut a hole in your shorts and go for a jog.
shouldnt be a problem. Lots of people have bricked them with 51 radios, and since it wont power on at all, they cant get into bootloader to see that hspl is there. No one yet has reported being refused.

oh im sorry i meant 2.10
Odd thing is, pretty sure there is no such thing as 2.10.51.x
Do you have a link? could be someone spreading bad radios just for kicks.

Of course itll work. Warranty is in place. If you cant turn it on, neither can they. Just say it stopped working one day. Done. Seen many threads where people have done this
So, like it says, all i did was flash the new radio... now my hd2 wont power on. im using the core cell evo v3 rom. it was working perfectly, aside from the low reception... so i flashed the different radio. when the phone power cycled after the radio installed, it wouldnt power back on... please, please, PLEASE help!!!
Uhm, you didn't read ANYTHING before starting this whole process....did you? A Radio ROM with X.XX.51.X WILL ALWAYS BRICK A TMO-US HD2. Seriously, its at the top of like EVERY subforum...
as ashasaur said above... sorry my friend, but you have a nice paper weight on ur hands... any radio with a "51" in it is for european HD2's and will BRICK a USA HD2...
2.07.51.22 <--- evil

awe crap!! this isnt the first time i hacked this phone too... i read that warning so many damn times... i dont know why i overlooked that... by any chance, is there some hope of unbricking this thing... its not even my phone...
As much as I hate to say this because I was a complete noob once as well. But damn it dude did you not do any research what so ever before hand? I mean come on thats like the first thing you read is ONLY flash .50 radios to US TMOBILE hd2's . Read next time bro.

ummm... like i said... i read that warning a million times, and i dont know why i overlooked it this time. it was a stupid mistake on my part... but i DO read everything before getting started on stuff like this... my question still remains, can it be unbricked? i know its a slim to none chance, but im hoping it can be done...

I already read that one... unfortunately the phone needs to power on for that fix to work... thanks anyway...
gonna be a warranty issue I'm afraid. the phone is dead and gone.
Yup. I did this to my first HD2, the night I got it. I managed to take it down to T-Mobile the next day, and convince them it was a bad model, and they gave me a new one, but they only do that in the first 14 days after you purchase it.
There really is nothing to do but get a new one.
Personally, after I got my second one, I just stuck with the stock radio.
yup its a brick my friend... i did the same thing but with a .50 radio that wasnt good it was like the first edition... but yea my phone was brick insurance had to pickup the tab..

The second post on the radio thread was probably from my doing as I flashed a 2.05.50.xx on my T-Mo and bricked. I got mine off of cragislist and luckily it was under 30 days and the guy was cool enough to do (...for discounted Wii and 360 moding) a replacement for me.
But...It all goes back to what then seniors have always said when I started on the ROM dev forums. READ! I know you are getting that left and right and it doesn't change your situation, but YOU WON'T do that again.
Don't flash (or mod) anything late at night is a good rule of thumb...I HAVE learned my lesson when I disobey that rule...luckily Walmart/Target are unaware of gut swaps. But I bricked my HD 2 and did a semi-brick on my old Tilt before the semi-brick information was available at no fault of my own. I am sorry for your situation... I HAVE BEEN THERE. I keep a cheap flip phone (since I left the CDMA world) handy at all times since my first Brick way back when.
I don't even post that much anymore...I just read. But I am still a flashing junkie.
Hopefully, you will get a replacement and have attained some wisdom from the situation so it won't happen again or this thread you started will keep others from the bricking wayside.
It's most likely not a brick did u try to put your sim in an other phone? This happened to me and my sim was got fried and got a replacement from t-mo , this is one thing the other time I had to reflash an other rom with the radio recommanded for it worked try these first and then if all goes wrong it's just not ur lucky flash.

no, you're wrong. Its been proven over and over again that radios with a 51 in the version kill tmous hd2s.
I didnt say i was sure i said likely, but trying more ways wont hurt, u can try to flash tmo stock rom to it's known to fix problems, i wish u luck

Fine? or Fee? Also, do you have an alternate method of repair?

I think a fine.. :/
I recently bricked an HD2 (not radio related) and was told by a few people that if I send it to HTC and they figure out the device has any custom/cooked ROM or an SPL that is hacked, or from a test ROM (MFG spl) or basically anything that isn't an official/shipped release then they'll hit you w/ a $600 fine. And I'm assuming they don't send the device back to you..
Just what I've heard, and maybe it was just for my 'type' of brick - My thread
And no, i don't have another method, was just gonna inform him about JTAG if he wanted, I guess the ".51 Radio brick" isn't quite as hard to recover as it is others (correct me if I'm wrong).
thank to EVERYONE for all your input. i'm still on a quest to try and salvage this phone because like i said, it wasnt even mine. i already thought of exchanging it at tmo, but my friend got it off of craigslist, so thats out... and i am a former employee of tmous, and i know all the little sim card tricks and what not, and that wasnt successful either. im trying to find someone with jtag gear locally, but here in hawaii there arent a whole lot of options as far cellphone repairs and reprograming... ive bee scouring the net looking for other solutions, and if i do find something, i will be SURE to post it here so that others with the same problem can bring their phones back to life... thanks again everyone!!
happy new year guys.
(i hope there are still people around this forum.)
guys i have a lot of problems with my trinity.
the first is random hard resets. i cant undetstand why and when they happens. the othe one is that yesterday my. screen went off after doing some weitd stuff.
so i am wondering if all that have to do with a danaged battery?
if that's so i can buy a new one and keep going. on the other hand if the damaged is somewhere else then it would be a waste of money to buy a new battery.
i would like to hear everything that comes to ur mind.
thanks guys,
have a nice 2013

it could be caused by operation of the existing system on the device you've messed up or damaged, you should try to re-flash rom first
ok i ll try to reflash the rom although i dont think it is the caused.
anyway i ll be back.

I reflashed but it doesn't seem to be the problem. i think that this is happening after it get hot . and not extremelly hot but when you keep it on for 15min or so.
anyway . i recall that all these happens after a day that i have forgot it in the car facing the sun with a new battery and the charger plugged . when i got back in the car i could hardly keep it in my hand for 5 sec. the baterry couldn't be touched at all. frrom that time ( almost two years ago ) the same sympton when i try to use this phone.
i think this is a hardware (desoldering) problem but i dont now what chip and where is it ....!
any tips would be much appreciated.
Hi all and thanks for reading,
So I have this problem I currently have a lg optimus
And I dropped it a couple days ago I was hoping the fix would be time.
Guess I was wrong
Anyways now it does not turn on and I know the battery wlrks because I used it on my othee optimus so my question is what can be the problem I would use the pieces from. The second lg if you can think whats the problem
Thanks
