hi guys
my blackstone behaves strange from the last time a flashed a new ROM:
-my camera only works from time to time
-sometimes the screen(or the entire phone maybe) dosent boot up( I put in the charging clable and leave it, and when i come back the screen doesent light up, i try to reset and nothing, I pull out the battery and still nothing it only vibrates)
could this be a software problem or should I send it back for warranty?
Did you flash an upgrade of your official (stock) rom? What kind of rom did you install?
Anyway, backup everything, download the rom again, flash again, hard reset (you will lose every data on your device, hence the backup), boot, restore contacts, test your phone.
If everything works fine, the problem was caused by a bad flash or by some program you installed.
Good luck
it wasn't the official one, i flashed energyROM leo( the latest one)
i tried reflashing another one but not official
and I hard reseted it and the same, the camera doesent work
im gonna see later if i the flash official one fixes something
btw is there someplace i can get official vodafone ROM? because i coulden't find only orange...

Did you follow proper guide for flashing? i.e. did you use USPL or HSPL? Stock roms can be found here

Ahem... good to know...
u used USPL i flashed it a couple of times before this and it worked fine,
i dont know, im gonna flash it woth official one and see if it continues if not im gonna send it to warranty ( if i still have it ) thx
It has nothing to do with the ROM, maybe the download was corrupted, but with the way you flashed (USPL/HSPL, rom on storage card, etc) and if you did a hard reset (or two hard resets).
As the mighty though Fallen Spartan said, follow the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
you could also revert back to a stock-rom and reflash
did u find out the problem, mine works for about 6 hours and then goes blank , i take the battery out for 20 mins and restart the device and it boots up ok, its proper wierd
If you're using the latest Energyrom with 6.5 23081 then the problem is a bug with this build from microsoft.
It is a known issue in the WM 6.5 thread that the latest WM6.5 23081, 23085, 23502, 23504 has a bug where the phone does not turn back on from suspend. i.e. when the screen is blank and you press the power button to turn it on, it does not turn on and you have to reset the device. That's why I have not upgraded yet.

AFTER 4 months of use my tohc hd start this behavior of not turning back from suspend mode and what I learned is that is some kind of hardware problem not rom related ... some believe it starts after some drop to the floor... but no one is sure the real cause .... I will by another ... maybe touh hd 2 ....

Hello,
yesterday i downloaded the official Windows Mobile 6.5.x Image of HTC in german!
First everything was fine! But then i noticed, if i leave the phone untouched, and the display gets dark, it shuts down!
First i thought, maybe there is something wrong with the energy settings, but some changes there didn't change anything!
At last i did a hard reset! It doesn't change anything, too :-(
Has anyone an idea, whats wromg with my phone?
Thanks,
Jan

This is referred to as the SOD (Standby of Death)
Some questions to consider;
Did you HSPL?,
If not, is your phone originally set up for German region?
My Phone is an original Vodafone german phone.
in october last year i installed the update of HTC, but the original, not the one of Vodafone, with HSPL i think!
And yesterday i downloaded the official new HTC ROM and did it the same way (both times i downloaded a single file)
Are there any solutions for the standby of death?

The cause has yet to be identified but it is likely some .dll not playing nice with the system.
Also, not sure if I've seen this on a stock ROM.
Go into bootloader and make sure you have HSPL installed. s/b 1.83.Olinex
Hm... i remember, there was written 1.83.Olinex!
How can i get into the bootloader?

Instructions:
- Turn off your device using the power button
- When the device is turned off press simultaenously the volume down button + Power button
- Your device will startup in Bootloader mode
Maybe try to re-flash the ROM again.
Also, always hard reset after your flash
ok, thanks, i'll give it a try
i tell you tomorrow
OK, there is written:
TOPA100 32M
SPL-1.83.OliNex
MicroP-Topaz (LED) v 10
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
499,548 170,882
176,207 834,210
826,886 Calibrated
I have found this too but the phone isn't completely dead. If I call my number from another phone it seems to wake the device up and allow me to use again
very frustrating though
Hey, about half an hour ago, i reinstalled HSPL 1.83.Olinex! Now it seems to be working normal! I can tell you tomorrow, if the problem is solved! I'll test the next 24 hours
So, til now i can tell you, that my problem, the standby of death is gone The reinstall of the Bootloader did it
Hello everyone. I have a problem with my new Hero. It's fresh, I haven't root or up rom yet. Only unlock it with a code bought from Internet. Yesterday, my nephew (4yo) used it to play some simple games. When I got it back, the battery ran out. So I connected it to a charge and turned the phone on but it stucked at the boot screen, only displays the "Hero" line. Nothing worked (touch, buttons). I had to take out the battery to turn it off.
So, I tried many ways: took out the battery and put back, took out the Sim card, sdcard, battery and put all back, etc. Nothing works. I decided to hard reset the phone by pressing Home, Return and Power buttons. After few seconds of erasing data, it told me to press the Menu button to restart the phone. I pressed the Menu and again, the anoying "Hero" line appeared.
I assumed that while playing games, my nephew might press some buttons to ativate or erase something that I don't know. So I ask you pros can you guess what is the problem and if you know it, what can I do to get my Hero works again? Many thanks to you all!
Don't turn it on but charge it up until you think its full then try to boot again.

I'va tried this way too, still no work. Thanks anyway.
right this way may work but you will lost all your data.
turn the phone on as best you can do and leave it on, plug into a pc and try to reinstall the RUU from HTC's website (latest rom) this will wipe everything and restart.
That should work but you would lose everything.
The other way is to try to use adb to control the phone.
Yes, I was thinking of reinstall the RUU too. But the latest ROM in HTC website is 2.73.61.5 but mine is 2.73.73.x (It's a HTC Hero from Orange - France). Is is safe to downgrade the ROM?

no harm in trying.
Can you not find the RUU for your orange France phone? i.e. the same one you were already on.
OK I will try with the RUU and report later if this works or not.
I think Orange France has modified the original ROM of HTC.

Really?? How you manage to get a 2.73.73.x
I tot the latest build for the roms was 2.73.61.5...bizzare
Anyways it should allow you to downgrade fine because i remember i did it to return from 2.73.61.5 to the older rom because i wanted to root it...suprisingly i didnt have to use the goldcard method or anything to downgrade

unless the artemis rom is different, you need to flash a radio, check out the didicated thread in "rom dev" and see what they reccomend
ok i think your right! it says to install a radio which i didnt
but it worked well for one month
is my phone now broken and did i lose my warrenty

if you get it into bootloader is shuold say connected by USB in this case you can still flash the radio in the exact same way you flashed the rom.
in regards to warranty, flashing custom roms does void warranty but its not the be all of end all, you can flash back to stock but thats something you will need to read about as its quite a lengthy explenation.
which rom and which radio should i use now to get my phone working again
ok i understand ! thanks
im woking with xp, and i flashed my phone with a vista pc
is there a chance to do that with my xp?
with xp you use ActiveSync and vista its Windows Mobile Device Center but the whole flashing process is the same
omg dammed your right my phone is reakting with active sync to usb woooooww thanks a lot , will try now
ok thank you , it worked i installed a stock rom . do you think i should install a custom rom again or what do you say

yeah, by all means do a custom rom, they may seem quite daunting and we all make **** ups but once you've done it once or twice its a piece of cake.
check my sig, read through the help threads and you shuold be ok.
when installing a custom rom always check the Required HSPL and Radios, I have made that mistake before. Once you know what you are doing flashing is a breeze.
thanks for helping
now there is another problem!
i installed goatrip and everything worked as it should
then ....
after a freeze with the massage low battery my phone didnt react anymore so i took out battery.
but then ......... it is not reacting at all, it is switched of i cant turn it on
i hope that maybe the battery is broken
but warrenty is lost
somebody can help?
or should i just find a mobileshop who can tell me whats wrong with my hardware
I'm guessing you've tried that, but just in case (since your message doesn't say you did) : have you tried charging the phone for a while and turning it on again (even while connected to the charger)?
If you did try that, you might want to try with another battery, but it would be better if you had a friend with a HD2 to try with his battery before buying a new one.
If you still get nothing, then you'll probably have to send it for repairs..

normally when you charge the orange light is shining
lucky i have a friend with a hd2, i hop it will be the battery or charger
but if not should i send it to htc or to sombodyelse, beause they will properbly send it back whitout even putting a hand on my phone????

Well I'm not sure you have another choice but send it to HTC unfortunately.
You just have to hope they can't turn it on either and send you a replacement under warranty, because if they turn it on and see you've installed HSPL and a custom ROM, you'll probably have to pay for the repairs.
has anybody experiance with that?
how hoch will they offer
but what i cant understand.... can a software damage the hardware of the hd2?
Hi,
since last week I habe a huge problem with my htc hd2. I used my hd2 as a wlan router and suddnely it didnt so anything more. so i hate to take the battery out and restar the phone. now i have almost everytime no signal and my mobile phone hangs. i always have to take the battery out. then what i did is flashing a new custom rom. is flashed about 3 or 4 differten custom roms but nothing changed. and i did some hard and softresets. what can i do?

task29 and flash a new radio, then a custom ROM.
Sounds like hardware issue, you probably overheated the mainboard while using as wlan router. You could try a task 29 followed by flashing radio then a ROM & see if you get same issues.
Good luck but my hunch is you'll be nedding a new device.
Out of interest what model HD2 is it & does it have red or yellow hard reset button under battery cover ? Yellow reset is suggested to be revision model & less prone to heat & screen failure issues ...
my device has a red button next to the battery. i will try the task29 tonight. i hope it will work fine. otherwise i have to tke a new one. so i have another question. the device had e vodafone branding and i flashed a custom rom.i bougth it last december. how long do i have garantee and how do i get the device to the mode i got is?
thanks

if it is hardware HTC will cover it as it has warranty for one year.
You would need to download your stock ROM from HTC site, just give your sn of your phone, get the ROM, put it on your SD CARD,then flash (don't flash from RUU, flash thru SD so it restores your SPL and radio to correct versions)
i thin my devide has a hardware problem too, because task29 doesnt work too. do i have to flash a branded rom, like the branded rom from the beginning or ca i flash any rom, which i can get from the htc page?
thanks

As long as you use your serial number to verify that the ROM is for your HD2 then yes you can flash it but I would go with the most recent ROM it will let you download and then flash it via SD card so you have the correct everything.
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.

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.
