Hey everyone, my hd2 died (original 1.48 rom), I already tried soft reset, hard reset, put out my battery, charge it and everyhting that came to my mind but when i turn it on it wont go further than the first htc image.
Is there anything i cant do or should i just take it back to the shop?
Thanks
I would take it back, even if you do fix it. You don't want a phone that may still have a underlying problem.
Htc HD2 BRICK Need HELP!!!!!!!
I flashed Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.23554.5.5.0_1.72_Multi-Lang_6.5.5_Radio_2.07.51.22.2_V1.2_WWE into tmobile htc hd2 cause i was [email protected]$kin goin Rom happy and didnt double check its compatibility and my screen went blank black, cant power on, cant go into bootloader, and cant hard reset but when i plug it in to my computer it recognizes it as a device without a driver i saw it in the device manager on windows 7 ulitmate. CAN I SAVE MY HTC HD2??
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
I used HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe i flashed like 5 roms within 24hrs i was trying them out and this one made killed my hd2.
for those stuck on the htc boot image
take off the back cover of the phone and press the little red button, this will restart the phone
AS SOON AS you press it, press and hold the volume down button this will bring you to the bootloader
connect the phone via usb to your computer and flash a different radio rom (look first which are compatible with your rom)
if this doesnt work, using the same method flash back to your original rom.

for tmous with 1gb rom NEVER flash a radio with .51. in the code.
still haven't seen anyone recover from this. if anyone has please let me know.
Damn it captain!!!!!!
I just got it on the 24th shhhhhhhh....... ummm i just will take it to TMOBILE i hope i can get an other one, they may not have one in stock or they WONT give me another. i will see as soon as the store opens.
Sorry to hear about people's problems. Just remember if you have TMobile
USA there is NOT a way to flash another rom onto the phone..Just give it time the wonderful folks here are working on it. If your still in your 14 day grace period just return the phone to the store and play dumb. You might
have to wait for another phone since apparently they did not anticipate
how many people wanted this phone and sold out quickly. I know I was there
at 6:30 and the second in line and they only had 5!
Anyway, the most important thing you can do here is DO a search!
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
BUT I have flashed roms into Tmobiles htc hd2 like TOUCH_X_TREME_23549_TMOUS_2_30_5_49 among others and they worked! i was just try different ones and i PICKED and I BRICKED!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry? sure about that? seems to me lots of people have successfully flashed their tmous hd2.
It only goes wrong if you
1 - flash a rom based on anything less than 2.10 rom
or
2 - flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number.
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
When I take it back do you think tmobile can they tell if i flashed a rom?

possibly, however its worth a try, there are other people that have reported they got it exchanged. the worst theu can do is send you it back un fixed. They can't keep it and make you pay for the fix.

Shamely going back to tmobile on wed
I went to tmobile last friday they tried to turn it on, pushing reset and taking out the battery so they put me on a list for this coming wed. I still got the bricked one with me they told me to bring it in for a trade. i have tried everything to turn it on but the screen remains BLACK. so i got a BLACK BRICK!!!
Any more ideas?

I do not see a little red button under the back cover. I am in the US, just bought phone, slightly used of course, no warranty. It suddenly went dead this afternoon while charging, will sometimes try to power up but will just keep flashing that one screen "stick together" over and over.....
Tried another battery, same thing.

Mine is doing the same thing . . . in the US, the reset button is right next to the SD card slot, and it's yellow. Mine wouldn't come on Friday, and I started a web chat with Tmobile to see if they would exchange it, and then it just came back on. They said as long as the white sticker at the top of the battery compartment is still white (proving you didn't get it wet), then they will exchange it. It worked fine for me the rest of the weekend (AFTER I did a hard reset, and got it running great!!). This morning, I locked it while running MobiTV, then I couldn't unlock it, so I pulled the battery. That was 2 hours ago, and it still won't come on . . .
If it doesn't come on before I leave work, I'm taking it to Tmobile tonight!!
UPDATED 20 minutes later: Just came on . . . no rhyme or reason why?? Just started after MULTIPLE times of taking out and putting back battery, SIM, and SD card. Got the same error that I've been getting the last couple months on reboots (services.exe)?? When I did a CleanRAM, it free'd up 3.36MB . . . so SOMETHING was hung up, but nothing was running in the task manager??
Generally, few task managers show what's really going on with the phone's memory. Use an advanced task manager which will allow you to control the actual processes running on your device, Google for the names of those which seem to cause mischief and terminate them (if possible) or try to find a solution.

Hey I am also Tmobile User and I have flashed a few ROMS luckily I have not Bricked my phone (knock on wood.) I was just wondering how your return went? I have insurance on mine and figured I would just take it back if that happened. I just didn't know if that would work? Did you ever get a new one
Another update . . . used my phone all afternoon, and tried to charge it, and it wouldn't charge??? Luckily, my husband has the same phone, so I checked his with the same charger. Compared the two phones, and the prongs that hit the battery were bent back. I folded them back down, and now it can charge again. Makes me wonder if that is the problem with the phone not coming back on? Maybe putting the battery back in so that it wasn't hitting the prongs has been keeping it from turning back on . . .

Many ppl have problems with "black" screens that "stop" working.
my HD: Stock rom, radio, europe location, non modified, non damages.
Screen is just black, but phone,sound and touch panel! work
first time when screen gone black i make hardreset by (unplug touchpen)press vol-up + vol-down + power. after HR screen work again !.
7-14 days ago screen gone black again ... HR dont help, unload&load battery dont help, so i use product Warranty, and now w8 for back HD & summary.
If you have the same problem just post here.
I have the same problem and sent it back for servicing.
Apparently needs to change the whole board.
Looks like there is a defective batch of HD. Reported also by another user.
I have the same problem, sometimes screen goes black about 5-6 times for day,sometimes 2-3 day is ok! im sending back to store
Mine is doing the exact same thing, touch still works fine but screen shows nothing on it. Lucky i had MyMobiler installed so i can see the screen through activesync on my PC
I have this problem too. This is becoming quite a common problem with HD.
I sent mine back for repair where they have to replaced the mainboard.
Definitely a hardware problem. Hope you have warranty.
How will warranty go with a custom (Dutty's) ROM installed?
Was installed using USPL, has never had HardSPL installed on there

You won't have warranty with a custom ROM. Did you backup your stock ROM?
Stock ROM can be downloaded from the HTC site, but how to install it without a working screen?

I had this problem with black screen though I could still feel vibrations when clicking soft keys etc, so I knew phone was on.
What I did:
Removed battery overnight
Inserted battery and turned on device
Device worked normally again.
If this doesn't work then you definately have a faulty motherboard.
This also means you would be unable to flash custom rom on device. This could void your warranty. However I have heard of people getting phones fixed under warranty with same problem due to HTC not being able to check wther or not you had changed rom beforehand
Hmmm, well currently my phone is back where i bought it, they wanted all packaging so they haven't sent it off yet. I'll get it back tomorrow and try removing the battery overnight, as mine sounds just like yours in that it still turns on but with no screen
According to the HTC site the stock ROM should install as long as activesync can see the phone. So there might be hope in flashing a stock ROM back on before warranty

If your phone turns on and still connects to pc, then yes its possible. Try it and see what happens. You should still be presented with standard flash pop up screen on pc as well as % flashed etc which will change to flashing finished so you know you have completed flash process.
I've found out that MyMobiler will automatically install itself onto the phone when it is plugged into the PC, so there's still hope to see the screen after a reflash. Just need to get my phone back
Went to the shop and managed to flash the stock ROM back onto the phone, after downloading it from the HTC website. Now it's going back (hopefully) to HTC, or possibly Telstra. I'm hoping they send me a new one, as they wanted all of the accessories that came with it, box etc
Yep, same problem here. And mine is also a Telstra T8285. Maybe the bad batch is mostly in those?
Anyway, I have managed to re-load the stock rom with no screen. It's quite easy actually. Just make sure ActiveSync sees the phone, and you're good to go. No need to have to see the screen of the phone.
I'm in the US and was routed to HTC's support here in the US. Of course when I told them the model I have, they said they don't have the parts to repair it here in the US, so I'd have to send it overseas. He said they will contact me from HTC over there within 2 WEEKS. What? So I sit here and wait... blah.

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue. The screen is black, but the phone does operate. I can connect it to my PC and even "see" the screen using EveryWAN remote.
The problem is, I have the Energy 6.5 ROM and Hard SPL 1.56 installed, and I cannot flash it back to the stock ROM and SPL, so that I can send it back under warranty.
I have tried 2 ways:
1. Putting it into Bootloader by pressing Vol down and ON - but it is impossible to tell if it actually goes into it because the screen is black, and when I try and run the ROM update utility, it cannot connect (error 260).
It seems like I cannot actually get it into the bootloader. I have tried lots of times...
2. Running the installer from when the phone is on and connected to the PC by activesync. In this method, the update utility gets as far as starting the progress bar, but then the phone seems to disconnect from the PC and again I get connection error 260.
This is really frustrating, any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

What I'd try is running USPL before running RUU
Quote from wiki
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when the RUU cannot make a connection to the device right before flashing. This typically happens when you try to flash a new SPL to your device. Use Soft-SPL before attempting the RUU again.

Thanks for the help Fallen Sparten.
Unfortunately it does not work.
The USPL also cannot find a connection. I think it is because I cannot actually put the phone into the bootloader - It is impossible to tell because the screen is blank. What I can say, is that when I press both the volume down and power key, nothing seems to happen. There is no connection sound from my computer and the RUU does not detect the phone.
I also get the same error if I try and update the phone from an activesync connection. i.e. when the phone is operating normally - I can tell it is operating normally because I can view the files with activesync.
Please any more ideas?
This happened to me as well. Was there some kind of software update that HTC pushed out that affected a few phones?
I see about 10-15 people on here that got hit with the same thing at the same time.
well I've had this issue as well, I have flashed back to stock rom (blind as activesync could see it tho I couldnt so no idea whats gone on)
When I called customer service they barely batted an eye and ahve arranged a replacement to be shippped to me tomorrow.
Be interesting to see what they say (if anything when they get mind back)
Hello all,
I have recently upgraded from my g1 to an HD2. HD2 is a great phone but still miss android . Anyways, today I wanted to get my g1 to work without a sim or data plan and was about to start working on it when my g1 screen dimmed to just the blacklight with a black screen. I turned it off and tried turning it back on but it just comes up with the backlight on a black screen. It does not even get to the G1 screen. I cannot get to recovery mode or any other mode for that matter. I have searched around but not found any real solution to this problem (if there is one). I am thinking my phone is bricked but have heard possibilities using ADB. I have never used ADB before and if anyone knows if this is a possible fix to my problem that would be great. It would be nice to know if it actually could fix my problem before looking into it and learning it all while finding out it has no chance of fixing my problem. I have tried using my sim card and a different sd card so those are not causing the problems.
So the background of what I am running on my g1. Right before I got my HD2 I was using Cyanogen version 4.2.14.1 with and ext 3. I had no problems with it until now. I got my HD2 a week ago and my g1 has been on about twice in that time without a sim card just for comparing purposes to the HD2. Then just today (about 2-3 days since I last turned it on) the screen just went black and I had my problems. I cannot return my phone because it has been over a year and I dont have insurance on the phone so these are not possibilities for me unfortunately. I also don't really want to get parts from other g1's and take apart and put my g1 back together. I am just looking for something with ADB or any other possible solution to the problem (if one exists).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I had this happen to me before. Apparently, it was a hardware GPU problem that would cause a boot loop because it couldn't draw anything on the screen. This happened on SuperD, AOSP, Cyanogen, and stock Donut.
If your problem is the same, you should be able to get into recovery, regardless of your ability to see what you're doing. Easy way of telling is to hit Camera+End on boot. If it doesn't vibrate, you're able to flash still. You may be able to get the screen back temporarily by either pulling the battery or letting the battery die and recharging.
Anyways, I ended up flashing the DREAIMG.nbh, and trying to upgrade back to 1.6 to remove traces of hacking. (Be careful if you have DangerSPL, you want to restore the default before flashing DREAIMG.nbh) I eventually got the screen working on 1.6, but it died again, so I sent it in to T-Mobile and got a replacement. I'm now using AOSP with no problems.
One small note, however, I did start having my problems using Cyanogen's mod. May want to bring it up with him?
Sorry if this sounds scatterbrained, it's a bit late and I should be asleep right now.
e:Just realized you said the warranty was void. You may be able to get something out of what I did, though? Good luck, in any case.
Thanks very much for the help even though it was really late. I did understand pretty much everything you said and I tried the camera plus power button and it didn't vibrate so it should mean I probably can flash things still. I have drained the battery and am charging it back up to see if that helped.
I have a friend who knows ADB so I am going to have him look at it to see if we can't get it working through there. Also the G1 screen has been popping up but then fading right when its about to change to the boot animation. So we will see how things go and I'll try a couple different things and report back if anything seems to work or open up more possibilities.
Thanks again for your information.
Ok, so my friend and I were going to flash a rom through fastboot. It was responding and such so we knew we were able to get it in there.
Anyone know what the command to flash a rom in fastboot is and if there are specific instructions to follow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First of all we are not trying to unroot the phone just flash another rom
Secondly we already tried your "fantastic" method of using google before coming to the forums
Ok I think I just bricked my G1
I was following the steps on theunlockr.com and was following the steps to the T like I always do.
The problem incurred after flashing the spl. I flashed the correct radio then ir rebooted and went back into recovery mode. Then I flashed the spl all seemed well home+back and never rebooted. It stayed on a black screen for over 30 mins. So I took out the battery and waited a few mins and put battery back in and same thing. Just a black screen nothing I can do. I have tried holding home+power and camera+power and back+power nothing. I am stuck have looked it up and this is the best forum I have found to post in.
Any input would be great.
thanks

okay so i flashed my unbranded HD2 phone many times over with chuckydroid rom and used shubCrafts build on my phone.
now my friend wanted android on his Tmobile HD2 phone also so i flashed his with chuckydroid rom and then with mattC's android with sense. turns out he de didnt like it and wanted to switch back to the stock rom.
now i acidentally flashed an unbranded HD2 stock rom back onto his Tmobile HD2 instead of the stock Tmobile rom and now its bricked. (wasnt thinking because ive done it this way with my phone all the time not even thinking that his was a different model)
light doesnt turn on when charged. cant even get into bootloader. phone doesnt work. i DID FLASH HSPL3 before it got bricked so iono if that helps any if any at all...
i feel really bad right now. can someone please help?
im sorry to say i think the phone is bricked for good...that's if the international ROM you flashed included a radio....it most probably was a .51 radio that is not compatible with t-mobile us hd2....

I don't have a suggestion to unbrick the phone, but I do for a reasonable price on a replacement. I bought my T-Mo branded HD2 a few months ago for $225 off Craigslist. I just checked locally (Portland) and there's three listed today at or under $250.....and sorry for your friends loss.

i cant flash another rom because his device wont even turn on. its dead as a rock. can i return this for warranty? i flashed HSPL3 before flashing it back to the original (but wrong) rom.
is the HSPL3 still in the device meaning i cant return it? or like first poster said, the new radio is now on the device? meaning im still able to return it?
Well if it won't turn on then they won't be able to see its unlocked.. as for a solution did u try manual bootload (volume up + down and press power and keep holding volume up and down) that should get u into bootload if it doesn't then its a different issue.

You could try to flash the official tmou rom via SDCard. Just use a card reader, place the rom at the root of the card, put the card back in phone, hold volume key down + power and you *might* be able to get back to bootloader.
The issue here is that if you flashed official (non tmou) rom from the sdcard when you bricked it, it might have removed the HSPL. From what I can recall, official roms flashed from sdcard will wipe hspl.
It's worth giving it a shot. In any case, I just received an EDM from microsoft through my hotmail acct where they are doing a buy 1 get 1 free for the HD2. Might want to check it out. I'm tempted to take them up on it and have 3 HD2's.

you said it doesnt even charge... check the battery if is properly installed that happened to me once and got scared. just double check.
INSURANCE
If he has insurance on the phone just call tmobile say that the hd2 wont turn on anymore! You have no clue how it happened ! They will send a replacement! Then he has to send his phone back within a week of receiving the new one! It does have a one year warrenty but if u have to send the phone in to htc they will probably know u bricked it and void the warranty! Tmobile is really cool about warranty's so try to get one from them even if its refurbished and then leave it stock!!
The ROM probably had a .51 radio like the last post said.
When you flash a .51 on a TMOUS HD2 you lose. Game over.
well my phone was stuck ina bootloop kinda thing... if i conected it to a charger it wud turn on and keep restarting on me, if i removed batery while still plugged in it wudnt respond nor charge... i fixed it by leaving it like that for a few minites then i un pluged and held down volume roker as i pluged in to acces bootloader and flashed a diff rom
hmm this sucks try what the others said with the volume keys and report back. This makes me think it would be cool if the developers created a pandora battery like service battery and memory stick for the hd2 as how people brought back bricked psps to life with those methods, would be so awesome then we wouldn't have to really worry about stupid crap like this !
yes. im dumb. it was a .51 radio. doesnt turn on. i did it to my own phone so many times and it just became repetitive when i was flashing his phone that i didnt even stop to think that it was a TMobile model. and yes the power button + volume button is not working since MY PHONE (originally his phone since i have to give him my phone now) doesnt have power.
so my best bet right now is to return it to tmobile and not HTC correct?
The only way to unbrick your phone is whit a jtag interface , ( http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/htc-hd2-repair-guide , http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f47...z-jtag-pinouts-htc-topaz-repair-file-1047977/ ) but maybe this kind of tools are illegal in some countries.
Check Copper battery contacts
Hey mate, I had the same issue you did. I took the battery out often during my flashing and once it stopped responding ie. not charging not turning on etc.
I checked where the battery sat and found one of the copper contacts (I think there are 3 spring-like ones) was stuck inwards and therefor not offering or receiving power.
Give that a shot buddy. good luck
Sucks, but at least you swapped phones with him. If the phones under warranty give T-Mobile a call, tell them it wont turn on...but you might want to have your buddy handle it (he is the original owner I hope?) since the phone should be on his account.

Quick side note, I don't necessarily agree that you owe this guy a phone. If you flashed it as a favor, then I think that all risks associated with the flash were his just as if he flashed it himself. There is an implied risk even when flashing the correct ROM/Radio etc, and if he didn't want to take the time to learn how to do it himself, you shouldn't be held 100% liable. If he is a good friend, then it would be a nice gesture to go in with him on a craigslist replacement (I too got mine for $225).
Now if he paid you for the service, then yeah, you owe him a phone.

I did the same thing, phone went into a boot loop, and I thought Id bricked it, copper contact was slightly bent and causing it, make sure the copper contacts are pointing straight up in the battery compartment, it could save ya a warranty return

Quick side note, I don't necessarily agree that you owe this guy a phone.

I completely agree, unless he's a n00b and you didn't explain that there were any potential dangers.
Just as another side note, if I'm doing anything for a friend that involves firmware flashing of any kind whatsoever, just say.
"Look I'm happy to do this, however there is always a risk involved in that your phone might die! It's rare, but are you happy for me to proceed?"
Always gets me out of potentially tricky situations! Stick those caveats in before it's too late
In my opinion you owe him a phone unless you told him about the risk and asked if he was willing to try it.. I would still feel sick to my stomach over him buying a new phone himself.. Another point is that the "risk" didn't damage the phone, your obliviousness did..
It sucks, but I would try to get him a used phone and pay the cost.. and accepted it if he offered to pay parts of it
Hello HTC users
I am very new to HTC so i need your help please
I have purchased my HTC HDT (T-Mobile) from usa about a week ago.
When i finally got it and tried to turn it on it wouldnt get passed the "Stick together" loading Logo. I have removed the battery and let it recharge until the light went green. once i started browsing the phone it just went off and got stuck at the loading page again.
any advice would be most appreciated
Thank You

Hello, and welcome to XDA.
Just to clarify you have an HD2 correct? If so, have you installed anything....an application or modification or anything to customize or personalize?
i bought this phone off ebay suppose to be new

Try this first, hold both volume keys, and the red power button, then reset the phone, if that doesn't work, then your phone is dead, sorry
Keyword there, "SUPPOSED" to be new, many times, people break their phones with a program that wasn't meant for it, and they put it on eBay. You get those kinds of people on there. Sounds like you need to file a claim on PP if you still can, file a complaint, because you just bought a broken phone.
Only way to make sure it is "NEW" is to buy a BNIB one, buying a new or used one is a hit or miss if the guy before you messed it up or not.
check the battery connection pins and make sure none of them are bent. There's 5 of them, and they should all be even in a row, like this: ll l ll
I have done the hard reset and the soft reset.
If i do get inside the phone it would work for 20 30 min and then goes off
to re open it i have to take the batt out for at least 5 min and then retry again.
I have contacted the seller and he said to give it to the lab and he will refund me on whatever it costs.
sigh
Before you take it to a lab, check those battery pins. Make sure they are straight. Easy. Next, try it without the micro SD card in it. See if it works. If it does then it's a crappy micro SD card. If it still freezes, do a hard reset. After a hard reset if it still freezes Then get a replacement. Did it look like it was in a sealed box? Even if it was, the seller needs to take it back unless it had a no returns mention on the auction.
Its a faulty unit. Had the exact same thing happen to me with my launch model. T-Mobile replaced it for me free of charge. In your case contact pp as you just got screwed

the problem its the sd card boot ur phone w/o sd card and it will boot as it is lol save all the data of the sd card and reformat it. it happened to me...
Are u able to solve this problem...
I am also facing the same problem.... I tried even installing custom ROM etc... still the same.
It start if i disconnect the battery for 10 min and try again.... But it can crash any time..
i would suggest returning it asap if possible.
I had this problem happen towards what has to be the end of the life of my hd2. It would freeze there until you took the battery out and hoped it booted.
Later mine wouldn't boot and all and is now basically a 600 dollar vibrator since all it does is vibrate till the battery dies.
so my mytouch 4g wont turn on even with a different battery. i plug it it in and it gives me a flash on th screen but thats it. any suggestion without sending it in
Take it to a tmo store, they'll swap it.
I got it off of Craigslist I think it was previously tampered with

so i was in the process of doing a custom splash screen last night. i went through all the instructions on how to push the custom splash through terminal. everything went how the instructions said, but once i reboot it my phone turned off and never came back on. it doesnt power on, boot into recovery, nothing! i put the phone to charge and the red light comes on on the top left but when i take it off the charger it stays on.
i been rooted for about a month now and i was running cm7 build 8 when this happened. i just want to see if anybody has any idea on what going on. i tired everything i can think of. taking out the battery and normally powering on and nothing. taking off the battery and volume down and power to boot into recovery and nothing. taking off the battery, sd card, sim, putting back the battery and doing both normal power on and to boot into recovery and nothing.
First of all you just hijacked the guys old dead thread and second it sound like you just bricked your phone. As there is boot animation and there is slash screen. Seems like you flashed wrong thing. If the screen don't even turn on its dead then.

Don't flame the poor guy! He's got it bad enough as is! And he didn't flash the "wrong thing" there are several threads on flashing splash screens in this phone's forum. Cut the guy some slack. He knows it may be bricked, he's just hoping it's not. And he was hoping for someone to provide some possible help. Not be be given **** for not opening a new thread.
i thread jacked because the thread was old and didnt want to clutter by starting a new one when im having some what the same problem. but no i pushed the splash image. i had already flashed a boot animation a few day back. i had call of android running on my phone as a boot animation. i just want to know is theres other methods of reaching hboot or recovery.
First of all don't put words in my mouth as my post does not contain any flame, second when I said wrong thing I meant he may not have meet the requirement for the splash image if he did correctly then obviously he would have had it up and running. Best thing for him would be going back to the original thread where he downloaded the image and asking the OP and troubleshoot it but at this point its to late all he can do now is warn others.
But if his phone is not old lol he can social engineer and play the victim card and send it back to HTC but first would be trying TMo saying he didn't get the POST OTA as he had PRE OTA and when he try to install the OTA it went blank and act like he has no idea what is going on, as he simply just want the phone to work or he will cancel service and do acting best of his life.
i already know i probably super bricked it. becuase ive bricked it before but not like this. i was able to fix it very quickly before. its like if the phone just doesnt have a battery. im just going to wait to see if anybody else has any more input. if not ill head to the tmo store see what they can do.

I do apologize for using the word flame. It was too strong. But I get fired up when people criticize instead of offering insight. If you had posted the above paragraph first, I wouldn't have had any issues. This is good and viable option. Albeit a last resort, but much better than criticizing for thread jacking. And I am the OP of the thread that he's using and am doing EVERYTHING I can to help him figure out a way to get this resolved.

ok, I just got caught up on your issue. I am going to do a little research and see if I can come up with anything to maybe help. Do you have adb set up? What recovery are you running?
Same thing happened to me, flashed a rom rebooted and the phone never turned on again.
thanx every one for trying to help. i tried everything i can think of and i could not get that phone to power on at all. it was completely dead. so i went to the tmo store by my pad and they gave me a brand new one. now i just need to gain s=off on this one which i cant do for some reason. i dont know why since it was fairly easy to gain s=off on my other mt4g. ill figure out though.

Hi.
I had the same problem on my htc glacier (mytouch 4g) which was turn it on, stuck on the htcwelcome screen, keep loading and then turn off automatically. My phone is rooted and cusome flashed to the new htc 3.0 sense when this happened, i did a back up and restore to the oem mytouch sense and now it is working just perfectly. So if your phone is rooted you might give it a shot and hope it will work again
i had same prob kinda
i flashed a rom was useing it for a week and today i went to use camera and while camera was loaded the screen shut off like not beining used it did the crt thing and all then it wouln't come out of it so i pulled battary after like 5 min of a lighted black screen and went to power phone back on and nothing like no batt.....
anyways what i was geting to is that i called tmoble and they said it sounded like a hardware problem if you can plug it in to wall or car charger and nothing.. when i plug it into a usb on pc i get
hsusbs or something so u all might want to look into that.
i have s mytouch 4g it wont boot
i rooted my mytouch 4g ussing gfree and then i installed sense 3.0 rom and it worked then force closed left me in bootloader then from there flasheed cm7 worked good for 15 days then said force closed again then never turned back on aghain now when i plug it back in it tells me cannot install drivver software and it recognizes it as qhsusb_dload any solutions or its a gonner contact me at [email protected]
