I would have probably just done a hard reset to see if that solved the problem. This would be too annoying for me to handle and I wouldn't want to put up with that. I don't know what apps you have installed but perhaps you have something trying to launch at the same time when you turn WIFI on or Audio Manager - Strange that it happens for both of these. Perhaps you have apps trying to obtain updates or trying to connect to internet automatically once you turn WIFI on and this is causing your system to become too slow and unresponsive as it is trying to do too much at once. (doesn't explain audio manager I know) - I havn't experienced this problem myself thankfully -

now when i try to turn it on it needs few times just to boot up but when it boot up it is just hanging up after few seconds or minutes i have done few soft reset and hard reset and it doesn't help i don't know what to do.

That sounds buggered to be honest. Seems like a hardware error. I've dropped mine from about 50ft before, but it was grass. So I don't know how it really affects it. You say it vibrates when you try to turn it on?
Well, first thing I'd try is taking the battery out, then a hard reset. From then on, flash a different ROM and hard reset again after.

but i don't know how to flash the rom can you send me a link to instructions coz i am new on this forum,already i founded from the opal one,but i can't find a instruction under,can you help me.

Do not flash OPAL Rom to Elfin - ROMS are device specific ELFIN ROM for ELFIN Device

Help, my device is broken?

My Touch HD doesnt respond, it hangs and restarts itself all the time. Today it chrashed totally and I cant start it no more. It comes to the text "smart mobility" then the softwareinfo in the right lower corner pops up and nothing more happens..
I cant do a hardreset. (tried with volumebuttons and powerbutton at the same time)
I cant upgrade the software..
Anyone had this issue before?
Servicecentre?
Sad times...

Cokey,
Can you even put it into the bootloader mode?
Cheers.

Ehrm, whats bootloader mode?

hold vol down, and press power on (keep holding volume down until screen comes on)
you should see a screen of 3 coloured bars
if you can do this, you should be also able to do hard reset. for a hard reset make sure you hold both the volume buttons down, and keep them held after you press power on
Tom

Okey, havent tried that yet. But hardreset wont work, with both volumekeys and power on...

I've just tried that bootloader mode and that works but a hardreset isnt working. It starts up as written above then the display fades out a bit. Nothing more happens...
Darn it...

Cokey,
All is not lost, don't worry. If you can get into Bootloader mode, then you will be able to flash a new ROM onto it. Go to the ROM section and follow crackwhore's very detailed guide.
Have fun flashing!
Cheers.

Again thx for the help..
(Flashing is something I wanna try but I really want my OS to be in Swedish )

I have the same issues. I am constantly reflashing the ROM because the phone will not last more than a day before being stuck on the Smart Mobility screen.
I have been flashing all of Dutty's different ROMs including LEO R4 and WM 6.5 R14 Turbo, WM 6.1 etc every day for the past week. It still freezes daily and when reboot, it gets stuck on Smart Mobility Screen. I am ready to throw it in the bin!
Anyone got any ideas. Flashing ROMs isn't working or fixing it as I have tried all sorts. I have also upgraded the Radio yesterday, still doesn't help. Tried also a new SD card, again, still freezes.

Have you tried reverting back to stock rom to see if problem persists? If so, return device under warranty

J,
USPL or HSPL? Do you install any applications, or do you leave it as it is and it still crashes in a day?
Cheers.

No luck
I think my warranty is out the window when I tampered with the screws and broke the VOID Warranty sticker.
I have used both USPL and HSPL and same issues occurs. I think I have narrowed it down... if I don't touch the onboard memory, ie not install anything to the onboard memory or touch it too much in that area, then it will tend to be okay. It starts to freeze and lock up at Smart Mobility Screen whenever I copy stuff or active sync etc.... so far anyway.
Looks like its going in the bin... last resort tomorrow, revert back to stock rom and see how long it lasts.

Strange case bricked 8525. Need help

I have a cingular 8525 (Herm100) that I was running windows 6.5 on from Scotty 93.
This ROM the HTC Home version.
Recently it started hard resetting randomly and finally the last time it hard reset on its own, it became stuck in bootloader mode. Whenever I try to flash a Rom on it everything works fine and the progress bar comes up until the very end. As soon as the progress bar disappears, the Rom should boot but the bootloader just comes back up. I have HardSPL 2.10 from Olipro on it.
I looked at common bricked hermes cases and it didnt fit any of them. I have run out of ideas of what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind
wow. nevermind. I think I may have fixed it It seems like it has an internal battery or something because I had to remove the battery and let it sit for an extended period of time before it would start to boot up normally. Then when it did, I just flashed the old prerequisite ROM as soon as I could establish a connection with my computer. It seems to be working totally fine now.

Whats happened to my phone :|

ok let me start by saying im new to this type of thing
Basically i have been wanting to get some cool apps and themes etc for my HTC HD2 T-Mobile uk phone for a while now.
I searched and found this awesome site etc..
After messing about for a good 3-4 hours on finding what means what i got windows mobile downloaded lots of Roms and alot of head scratching figuring out what it all means.
After alot of messing about i got Windows mobile to reconise my phone and i flashed my phone and put a Rom on (which i cant remember which now>_< )
Then the problems started to happen, Windows mobile stopped detecting my phone altogeter.
So i tried changing USB ports/Activating faster sync in the phone settings and trying over and over, Nothing!!
So i thought i would restart my phone and computer.
Restarted my computer and looked to see my phone had got stuck on the boot screen. After 10minutes of waiting for the phone to start i took the battery out and tried that and same thing over and over.
I then tried holding down volume buttons and reseting and it finally started after i reset it.
I i thought i would restart it again and the same thing happened! so i thought i would try a hard reset.. Done that and nothing, still the same thing >_<
Now im stuck with a crap interface that i can't use and i can basically never turn my phone off because it gets stuck.
Please someone help this noob out and put a end to my frustration on what to do!

right sounds like you havent got the right radio for you're ROM,
Can you remember what ROM it was you flashed? if not shouldnt be to much of a struggle
turn you're phone off hold the volume down button and keep holding turn the phone off, and if you get the coloured screen you're safe and we can sort this out

the first mistake many people make is flashing an all singing and dancing cooked rom and think that's it.
if a rom unlocks the extra ram, (or says tmous compatible, or says the rom Is based on 2.x..).they all mean the same thing - the radio must be a tmous radio, i.e. one with ..50.. in the version number.
all non tmous phones come with radios with ..51.. version numbers, and hence boot problems until you change the radio.
(think yourself lucky, if you flash our radio to a tmous it kills the phone)
next time, read the rom thread for recommended radio. it will be in the first or second post.

I haven't had time to sort this out until today and im so confused and just need some help explaining what and how i will do this.
My phone doesn't boot unless i hold down the volume buttons and reset it and then wait 5minutes for it to restore everything.
From what i gather i need to change my Radio rom so my phone starts properly.
Ok i get that .. but how do i put a radio rom on my phone if my PC does not reconise the phone in windows mobile? (just says not connected)
I can get the phone to show up on my computer if i change it to "disk Drive"
but not if i use active sync.
So please someone explain to how i can get my phone showing up so i can put a new Radio rom on to my phone using windows mobile?
I appreciate any help thanks

you can flash from bootloader. phone doesnt need to be booted.
boot into biootloader, flash the radio, done.

Bootloader no USB?!

Hi all, started to try and get phone onto android last night.
Followed the guide for HSPL3 then started started to update radio but got error about USB!
Booted into boot screen to see whats going on (volume down) and it wont go past loading! just sits saying loading!
The device boots ok and i get windows (eventualy! if i wait) Once booted into windows USB works but in the bootloader i cant get USB!
I have pressed volume down and red button and in white box it stays on serial!
I have googled for hours any pointers?

grey screen, writing in blue? sounds like it thinks you have a rom on your sd card. try it without the sd card in.

Thanks for you suggestion - tired that already should have said.
The issue is fixed however - I took out SIM aswell as SD, manualy booted to loader. Waited 5 min then it changed to USB! Quickly opened HSPL3 an re flashed.
Issue was still the same! So followed same procedure and used HSPL 1.6 that fixed it! I can then flash with a rom suitable for Android!
Flashed 4 min later, put Android on - now loving my new phone - its amazing the difference! This is how the HTC HD2 should have been!

heh, lucky you, i've tried android on 6 different occasions now, first four times i wasted some hours and never got it to boot, 5th and 6th time it worked, but when i restarted, the phone wouldn't restart without a hard reset, so i'm not touching it again for at least another three months.

Thanks. Your solution worked great. As soon as I pulled the SIM and waited a few minutes it popped right up. You should mark this thread title as solved

@samsamuel try using nand its alot easier to install and there are some great builds on this website!

Hi there,
the problem is not solved for me!
I flashed my HD2 several times before, using winXP. Now I got a new laptop with
Win 7 64 bit. I want to flash my phone with a WM6.5 Dutty ROM. The phone syncs fine when running but when it switches to bootloader, the laptop doesn't recognize the phone anymore. It does not switch to USB and on the Laptop I get the message that there is no driver for "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"
Help please, I tried to find some answers but couldn't find anything!
Thanks.
