Cruise Without Reception - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Hi all,
I have a problem, and hopefully one of you can help!
My girlfriend got given an O2 XDA Orbit 2 by her sister, who didn't get on with it and has now bought an iPhone. Boo. Hiss.
Anyway, it turned out to have completely default WinMo 6.1 on it -- no TouchFlo or anything. Aha, I thought, this one needs sorting out.
So I did this:
1. Installed an Olinex Hard-SPL, that came combined with an unlocker. I thought I might as well.
2. Installed 3LIT3 VIII Full. As I've only really lurked around here before, it won't let me add links, to prevent spam. I can give the threads later, hopefully.
I then found that the phone didn't have any reception, even where it should have had a decent signal strength. Note that I ALWAYS hard-reset after flashing any ROM. So:
3. I (incorrectly) tried to flash it with a 1.64.08.21 radio ROM, which didn't work.
4. Reading a bit more, I tried several 1.59 radio ROMs, and even a 1.58, but none of them worked -- the device would stick on the white "Loading..." screen, and eventually CustomRUU would give a connection error.
By this time, my girlfriend was getting a bit pissed off, as I'd told her how straightforward the process would be, and showed her my old Artemis. So I decided to go back to basics:
5. I found an official HTC ROM (1.25.405.1 WWE) and flashed that. One hard-reset later, and surely it would work? Nope. Bugger.
Now, I still have a phone that won't receive or make calls...which is pretty useless! Device information reports ROM 1.25.405.1 WWE, with radio 1.58.21.23.
Any ideas? Help!

On your phone how many bars does your signal strength say you have ? Is your phone in airplane mode "phone and all other connections turned off".

Flash the original rom from my rom threads under steps (see my signature)
it´s a newer original with radio 1.59.42.15
->make a hard reset on the calibration screen....after that you can flash any other rom with m2d inside and so on........after flash another rom you must also make a hard reset...flash in this way...work

The icon is the antenna with '!', which indicates no signal, rather than the 'x' for "turned off". I tried with and without airplane mode on, just in case!

Thanks -- downloading now. Will definitely buy you a beer if it works!
-- UPDATE --
Unfortunately, it hasn't worked. Still get the same "no signal" stuff. I did manage to get some signal upstairs (the 'H' symbol came on, and the antenna lost its '!'), but it wasn't enough to make a call. With the phone's original ROM, that same room had 2 or 3 bars. I just don't understand it :-(

The '!' comes up on barred or blacklisted phone's.Have you tried swapping the sim i think inactive sims come up with '!' also.

then i think the same as meknb....have you tried another sim...??
->original rom works good on mine...and Olinex Hard-SPL works also...what say the device if you are in bootloader (hold camera and soft reset)-> because it give pola 100 and 200 and the o2 orbit 2 is 200.....if 100...flash the 200...and see and report...

I haven't got another O2 SIM to try it with. However, the current SIM definitely works, as she's been using it to make calls on my Artemis. Like I said, the Cruise was her sister's phone, and worked fine until I flashed it, so there's no way the phone could be barred/blacklisted. Also, we did get a little reception last night, and I was able to make one test call successfully before dropping out.
The phone is behaving as though it's got a problem with its antenna.
The bootloader says:
POLA200 MFG
SPL-2.20.Olinex
CPLD-2
My girlfriend's taken her SIM to work with her (in my old Artemis), so I'll be testing the Cruise with my T-Mobile one today. It's recognised it, anyway, even if it doesn't give me any signal.
I'm thinking my next step should be to restore the phone's original SPL and a dumped O2 UK ROM.

i think it´s a good idea....on the o2 site is the original rom...and flash the rom and after that flash orginal spl

Just realised that I forgot to flash radio 1.59.44.02 after sticking Alex's ROM on there. So I tried to do it now, and it didn't work. The phone sticks on the white 'Loading...' screen, and CustomRUU gives:
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone.
This happens whenever I try to flash a radio ROM. Therefore, I think that there's something 'broken' with the radio on the phone. I will follow the instructions here to try and get it back to factory settings:

Thanks for the help so far, guys.

Yes, that did work -- the O2 site gave me a ROM with radio 1.59.42.15, which is nice. Once I installed that, I restored original SPL (1.28.0000), and it worked!
The phone was still unlocked, and my T-Mo SIM gives me plenty of reception.
Since then, I've re-installed Hard-SPL (original SPL makes me nervous), and I'm just putting the 3LIT3 ROM back on it. Hopefully it'll work this time. If it doesn't, I know what to do
EDIT: Also, I didn't realise the O2 ROMs were so basic -- just default WinMo 6.1. Surprised there wasn't any HTC customisation.

Did i brick my Tmobile MDA? HEEELLLLPPP

Hey guys i tried flashing my rom using the Shelltool. I loaded the two cabs on the device and put it back to Tmobile 2.26. While i was in the shelltool it told me to do a hard reset and i think the phone was frozen (it didnt go to the normal colorful screen like usual) so i took the battery out of the back and powered it on. I left the software running like it said but it just froze up.
Now my MDA wont move past the Tmobile screen. I REALLY need a hand with this because this phone keeps my life in line! I dont even think ill be able to get up tomorrow because all my alarms go off my phone
Let me know if theres anything i can do otherwise im looking at a Motorola A1200 :-(
kind regards,
Eddy
Hi there,
Not familiar with Shelltool. I do most of my flashing using ActiveSync. Have you tried forcing the phone into Bootloader Mode (hold the Camera button while turning it on). Worth a shot.
If t-mobile was the original ROM on the phone, then just flash it again using the exe (or RUU if you extracted the files from the exe) instead of using shelltool and see if that brings it back to life.
well its stuck on the tmobile splash and shows no actual connection to the machine would it still work?
If you can get into bootloader mode then you should be fine. Just put your device into bootloader and flash wizard love rom or the rom that your device came shipped with.
Good Luck
looks like its working guys but its most likely still going to look and be WM5. Im still willing to try and get WM6 on it tho. I have the roms but its just not working any ideas?
Well, if you're flashing the t-mobile ROM right now then it is going to be WM5. Since you now know what to do if the ROM your loading doesn't stick, try flashing the ROM you were trying to flash again. By the way, what was your IPL and SPL before you flashed it the first time where it didn't work? If it was less than 2.xx then that was your problem most likely. If you're now updating to the latest t-mobile ROM the way I told you to (using the exe or RUU) then your IPL and SPL now should work fine with WM6.
Well I just finished upgrading my MDA to WM6. Here's what I did. First off I
fould out that you need the phone CID Unlocked for it to accept the WM6
ROM. Follow the instructions on this thread by Dr. Puttingham.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
This should get your MDA ready provided it is a G3 (thread will tell you how
to tell the difference.) Then follow the directions on mfrazzz's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632
I had problems with my MMS after the update but after re-installing the WM6
ROM and installing the CAB files by Lurch anf FZZF I got that problem
squared away. Believe me when I say I know what you are going thru. I
was fiddling around with this for about a week. Luckily I am on vacation and
I had plenty of time to read and decipher alot of the info I found. Good luck
and remember to READ, READ, READ. BTW, props to all that contributed to
these fine tutorials and for this awesome ROM. I have it running on my MDA
for three days now and am very happy with it. I am also using the 3.08
IPL/SPL which seems to give me better reception, which my wife seems to
appreciates

Please help - bricked XDA Orbit II

Hi, first post on the forum so please be gentle with me....
I have an XDA Orbit 2 which was until last Thursday working fine with the last official upgrade from O2 (Win 6.1, no idea about all the other stuff).
Whilst using the phone last week it suddenly died in the middle of a conversation. It wouldn't power on at all. I took out the battery, waited a couple of minutes, put the battery back in and switched it on. All that happened was the phone displayed the 4 colour screen with "POLA200 SPL-3.13.0000 CPLD-2" in the red section and "Serial" in the white. I repeated the battery removal exercise a few times, waiting for increasing lengths of time but nothing changed.
I had a fairly long search through the forum and have tried for a few hours now going through the various fixes suggested but I am getting nowhere.
It won't hard reset, all that happens is the message "No Image Found" appears for a very short time and I then get stuck on the 4 coloured screen with the message above.
The same thing happens if I try just putting the thing in bootloader mode.
I can't use any of the official O2 rom upgrades as the phone because all the PCs I've tried connecting to it won't recognise it over a USB link.
I've tried connecting to it using mtty, again on several PCs, but I just get a message "USB port can not open". Just in case I've uninstalled Activesync on one PC and got the same answer.
The "how to flash you polaris using the microSD card" originally looked useful but I have some problems with it.
The first is that I need HardSPL installing on the device, which I can't do because I can't get to it.
The second will be down to me not knowing where to look, but I can't find a ROM to download and copy to the microSD card as POLAIMG.nbh. I did manage to find a Win6.5 one (the HTC Polaris - PDaviet rom wm6.5 manilla 2d (core 23004) by tranminhman one) which I thought I'd try. I guess the idea was that if I could just get something working I could always reflash it again with a different ROM or maybe apply the o2 upgrade. Unfortunately the image was password protected and I couldn't find the password in the thread.
I'm kind of at a loss now so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hey,
Sorry i can't help much you'll need to do a lot of reading and troubleshooting...usually it's the onyl way to solve it by trying all options.
I'm just posting this message to bump it up in this forum, but more importantly you should be posting in the Iolite section for help with that specific device especially if you're trying other ROMs.
Also if it died on you and you haven't begun to flash it, can't you send it to the service for them to fix it for you? That way you can rule out any hardware malfunction.
Best of luck!
Alan
Did you do soft reset

Bit in bold er... cant quite understand why in iolite section as the xda orbit 2 is the rebrand htc touch cruise => htc touch find. Its in the right place.
On the side of what to do i the ony thing i can think of would be mtty and if that didnt work then try to reflash the official o2 6.1 release and see what happens when you try to do it.
You cant try to install any 3rd party roms they jsut wont flash as you dont have hard spl installed and cant do that until you have it running again.
Try the above and see what happens...
Hi Nik
I have tried just about every kind of reset, nothing has worked.
Hi Alan
If I can't get it sorted any other way I'll probably send it off somewhere but I'd like to have a go at fixing it myself. It will at least be a bit of fun!
I take then that I've posted this in the wrong forum. Oops, apologies.

You have not posted in the wrong forum look at my signature!
Hi jon,
Conclusion from post 1,
1) Uncompleted flash with new ROM or hardware problem (half way die)
2) Unsuccessful flash Hard SPL (cannot see Olinex 2.2 wording during bootloader)
3) Your PC & PDA fail to connect via USB (serial wording appear during bootloader)
Try this method,
1) Get shipped ROM from HTC web site, key in your country & serial behind battery
1a) Extract shipped ROM by WinRAR , take RUU Signed.nbh
2) Rename to POLAIMG.nbh put inside SD card, "flash using SD card"
3) Make sure your battery power more than 50% cause it take about 2 hours
Good luck, my friend

I've had a bit of a look round the HTC site and couldn't see a ROM to download so I've asked their technical support people if there's anywhere to download it.
Fingers crossed they'll help.

Try to get official HTC ROM here, Select WWE (405) CID_001 for your country.
Good luck my friend
have u tried this?...
turn off, pull out the battery, then put it back, charge ur phone till the battery indicators shows green (which mean it's already fully charged) then... power on ur device.
it looks like a dumb suggestion , but... i have had a same situation
(HTC KAISER, not Polaris).
if it doesn't work, then try to upgrade with a POLAIMG.nbh (take it from official HTC ROM)
in a 2G FAT32 microSD root directory.

Much appreciated.
Downloaded the ROM as suggested, unzipped to the SD card, renamed the image to POLAIMG.nbh, stuck it in the phone and things got slightly more interesting.
In bootloader mode I now get a bit further. I get a grey screen which says "Loading ..." then "Checking...." then "00028002 Not allow". It then goes back to the four coloured screen as before.
However, does the fact that it is trying to read something mean that I have just got the wrong file?
I'll try a few more and see what happens.
Thanks once again, your help is greatly appreciated.
Jon
Hi oza
Yep tried all the battery pulling out stuff but got nowhere.
The ROM thing on the SD card gets further. I extracted the ROM from the official O2 upgrade, stuck it on the card and renamed it POLAIMG.nbh.
If I put the phone in Bootloader mode I now get even further than before. I get a grey screen with:-
POLAIMG.nbh -
RADIO_V2 -
BOOTLOADER -
SPLASH1 -
OS -
Press power button to start update image
Press action button to cancel update image
If I press the power button
I get an "Update In Progress" message and a progress bar.
After about 4 minutes I get a full progress bar and :-
POLAIMG.nbh - OK
RADIO_V2 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
OS - OK
Update complete
UPDATE SUCCESS
And that's as far as I've got so far.
If I take the SD card out and try a hard reset I just get stuck on the 4 coloured screen I got before, but with no No Image Found message.
I get the same thing with bootloader mode and when I just remove the battery.
If I put the SD card back in I can go through the update process but I can't do anything
else.
So, have I actually made any progress? I'm not actually sure what I have updated and what state the phone is in at the moment. Is the fact that this didn't work an indication of a hardware failure and I should send it off somewhere.
Any advice on next steps would be good.
Jon
what is ur bootloader screen says now?
IPL...
SPL...
Before you can be helped you need to supply this information:
What rom were you using when it died?
What SPL are you using?
You used MITTY and fixes so I assume you're not a complete nunce and have hard spl on your phone, so on that assumption and ONLY if you have hard spl on your phone, try this:
If it isnt a hardware problem, then Its possible you have a dodgy radio flash issue - normally that would have been caused by a bad flash, but you indicated that this happened in use.
Provided it isnt a hardware, to fix this you need to either flash the radio (less reliable, but try it) rename the radio file to POLAIMG.nbh as directed before and stick on SD card.
The other thing to try is to flash a rom with a radio INCLUDED in it. Try and avoid fancy 6.5 beta roms and stick to 6.0 and 6.1 basic roms.
I believe Chavonbravo's VLIT roms come with the radio so try that. Its listed in the forum. I'm not providing links as I dont know what radio you were using and you really need to go for like to like or close. My preference is 1.59.44.02 radio rom if you find one.
Let us know how you do.
Lastly what radio and rom did you have?
Try this one M-AMINES if the radio you had was a 1.59.xx radio as it has the radio included.
if it was a 1.65.xx radio then try the VLIT naked rom.

Hi Oza
Exactly the same as it did when it first broke. I get the 4 coloured screen with "POLA200 SPL-3.13.0000 CPLD-2" in the red section and "Serial" in the white.
No idea what the IPL is or was I'm afraid.

I've not been a big modifier in the past so it was just using the bog standard O2 software from the O2 website. The name of the file is "RUU_Polaris_O2_UK_3.13.206.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe" so I presume that there can be information gleaned about things like the SPL, ROM and radio versions?
Not a complete nunce, no, but so very far away from being comfortable with all this. This post was a result of a good few hours trawling through the forums looking for help. Anything I have done has been the result of a post on this site and I am very grateful that there are people willing to share their knowledge.
Anyway, as for hard spl, nope it isn't installed. I'd never needed anything like it before the phone died and now that it has died I can't get onto it to install anything.
Yes, this happened right in the middle of a conversation after a good year or so of normal day to day use. As I said, I haven't needed to make any changes to the phone so the only thing I've ever done is upgraded it with software from the O2 site.
I'm beginning to suspect that without Hard spl my options are very limited and pointing towards either sending it off for costly repairs or just binning the thing. I am probably wrong but I'm guessing that the fact that I don't have it installed is the reason why nothing is happening with the "Update in progress" stuff that is happening now.
Radio & ROM, as above. Whatever the O2 update provided. From the filename radio would be 1.59.42.15.
Many thanks

Well whatever you do dont bin it, we can always use it on the Android project if you decide to go that way.
Ok.. so lets see.. the phone is not picked up at all in windows?
If that is the case, if even a serial connection cant be made then theres issues. At this point, I would disregard all the other advice as it only applies to a hard spl device unfortunately. SD card flashing and all other radio rom flashing will only work with hard spl as far as I know - definitely safer for certain and you dont want to wreck a repairable device.
I take it, its not under warranty, for your mention of costly repair.
The important thing at this stage is a serial or usb connection from a Windows PC. I think I have heard of forcing this connection by opening the device but this would really be in the realms of profficient repairer or enthusiast.
I'll have a look but also do some searching yourself for making a connection to a Windows PC and forcing an SPL onto a phone.
I dont know whether anyone's ever managed to HardSPL a phone using a memory card? Just a thought...
Who would have known.. have a read of this and see if you can follow it up regarding the spl through sd card ..

Touch HD is ruined, please help NOW! IMPORTANT!

My phone works perfectly except I can't answer calls, when I press answer/ignore it freezes until it goes to voicemail and then comes back. I've flashed multiple roms and had the problem with all of them. I'm not using any special themes or anything, and the only software I ever install are HD Tweak and Finger Keyboard 2.1 and my radio 1.14.25.24. Here's a list of what I've done since I had the phone:
1. Bought phone. Flashed HSPL. Flashed Laurentius L26, no problems. Was being lazy so I didn't hard reset after flashing.
2. Flashed Dutty R14. Didn't hard reset after flashing. No problems for awhile and then the problem of not being able to answer calls appeared.
3. Flashed EnergyRom wm6.5 rom. Hard reset twice after. Still having problem where I can't answer calls.
4. Flashed Dutty 3.9XT wm6.1 rom. Hard reset twice after. Still having problem where I can't answer calls.
If anyone can help me figure out why my phone is doing this I'd really appreciate it, I'll even pay you some money on PayPal if you like because I really want to fix it. Here are some ideas I had as to why it's not working:
- Problem with rom flash. No, because I tried it with 3 different roms so far and had the same problem.
- Touch HD isn't fast enough to run wm6.5 and be stable. No, because I tried it with a wm6.1 rom too and had the same problem.
- Someone suggested it might be a problem with the battery. No, because I ordered new replacement batteries and tried them and had the same problem.
- Some of the settings in HD Tweak are incompatible with something in the roms I'm using. Maybe, is this possible? I don't really change much, just the softkeys and the highlight color and things like that.
- Screwed up something in the SPL or something because I didn't hard reset after flashing the first 2 roms. Maybe, is this possible?
- Dropped my phone and somehow managed to break nothing but the mechanism involved in answering calls. Maybe, is this possible?
Today I'm going to reflash HSPL, flash the stock HTC rom, hard reset twice, and see if I still have the problem. I don't know what else to do or what other possibilities there are. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, that would be great, because I really don't want to have to buy a new phone. Thanks
Did you try another SIM?

If anyone can help me figure out why my phone is doing this I'd really appreciate it, I'll even pay you some money on PayPal if you like because I really want to fix it. Here are some ideas I had as to why it's not working:
- Problem with rom flash. No, because I tried it with 3 different roms so far and had the same problem.
- Touch HD isn't fast enough to run wm6.5 and be stable. No, because I tried it with a wm6.1 rom too and had the same problem.
- Someone suggested it might be a problem with the battery. No, because I ordered new replacement batteries and tried them and had the same problem.
- Some of the settings in HD Tweak are incompatible with something in the roms I'm using. Maybe, is this possible? I don't really change much, just the softkeys and the highlight color and things like that.
- Screwed up something in the SPL or something because I didn't hard reset after flashing the first 2 roms. Maybe, is this possible?
- Dropped my phone and somehow managed to break nothing but the mechanism involved in answering calls. Maybe, is this possible?
Today I'm going to reflash HSPL, flash the stock HTC rom, hard reset twice, and see if I still have the problem. I don't know what else to do or what other possibilities there are. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, that would be great, because I really don't want to have to buy a new phone. Thanks

Hi rpimps,
I think that would be a good idea, flash back to stock, check for any differences, if everything works ok, then try flashing to a custom ROM again.
It might be an idea to try out a different radio version, for example, try 1.17 as this could improve certain built in feaures of your phone, especially since radio versions are known to work only in specific regions, it may work out better for you overall
Also, if not already cooked into the custom ROM of your choice, you should also install the RIL version that matches your radio version - 1.17 Radio supports RIL version 1.14 (1.14.25.24), which you can download the RIL via this link, at the bottom of post #1 - read this section as it also explains how to install the RIL.
I recently remember another member mention that their phone would sometimes hang when/after receiving a call, this was solved by installing the associated RIL - a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem.
Best regards.
Just to see if call mechansm works;
- try to record something (to check mic)
- try front speaker (i dont know how to do this)
- check if vibration works. (vibrate on connect may be on)
I guess your gsm radio works well since you can receive calls. Try to use windows original phone canvas instead of touchflo 3d. Dont know what to check more Its strange.

Here's what I did today:
1. Reflashed HSPL. Hard reset.
2. Couldn't find a working stock rom so I just reflashed Dutty 3.9XT. Hard reset.
3. Installed 1.17 radio and rilphone 1.14 like you recommended.
4. Didn't install anything else. Tested phone right after install and it's still having the problem.

I can call other people and it works fine. And actually about 10% of the time I CAN answer calls, and when it works it works perfectly. But 90% of the time it won't let me answer.
I might just have to put this phone on ebay and go back to my Diamond

that's a shame dude, not sure what else to suggest... it sounds like a hardware related issue as you have repeatedly tried flashing different firmware one on the phone... i suppose it's not under warranty?

It's only a few months old so it might be, but doesn't flashing spl/roms void the warranty?

Unfortunately, it breaks the warranty aggreement. So e-bay is a good idea, I guess.
P.S: I heard from someone that you can go back to stock rom then you can still use your guarantee. But I'm not sure if they can see that you reflashed it or not.

From what I have read, if you flash back to the exact stock ROM which was installed on your phone when you had received it, then this will not affect your warranty - if you decide to return your phone (assuming it is still under warranty) just make sure you downgrade to Stock ROM and Radio version, with no trace of HSPL or USPL also, or else you will have to pay them money if they (HTC) find out
EDIT: Please follow these steps to restore back to your stock ROM version:
1. First, be sure to restore your stock OS, and then the stock radio. The Stock SPL is always to be done last!
2. Download your choice of a stock spl package from the link shown below. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)
3. Also download the original hardspl from the link shown below.
4. Run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. Just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
5. The SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
6. Continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
7. To verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!
that's it.
Please refer to the following link for more information and the necessary files you will require to re-flash back to Stock (see and read the last section of post #1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
Regards.
p.s. also remember to flash back to the original Radio version of the phone, if required.
There are several stock ROMs linked in the Blackstone Wiki, flash back to one of those and see if your problem is still there. If it is, send it back for a Warranty repair - as long as there is a stock SPL and ROM image on your phone, you Warranty will be intact.
what i dont see is mention of ho u are answeing the calls.
there or at least three ways
1. the on screen prompt. i assuming this is the one that freezes
2. the answe key at the bottom left of the phone
3. the htc headphones im assuming you have
have u tried using all three of these methods to answer calls??

HTC touch HD disconect after 30 seconds

Is this problem happens to anybody else. I have touch HD with installed KWBR ROM, and even with other ROM miri my phone while talking disconnect, I do have good signal, around 3 lines but almost always disconnect after 30-40 seconds. Does any body know why this happen.
Thanks
Have you tried flashing to a different Radio version with matching Rilphone version? by doing this, it could improve the quality of reception significantly and hopefully resolve your issue.
For more information on how to flash to another Radio version, please see this link.
I changed radio, then I changed ROM to original Asia 6.1 and still same thing. Whatever I do, it is the same. Start thinking the phone is bad

If your phone still under warranty? You could return it to HTC for repair, but if you choose to do this, make sure that you flash the SPL, Radio, and ROM to stock.
For information on how to flash back to stock, please see steps you need to follow at the bottom of the page via this link.
You can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.
I hope everything works out for you.

IgorYU, how old is your SIM card? One option may be to pop another sim in and see what happens. At least you will know within 30-40 seconds whether that's the issue.
It is old but not that old, few years max. I will change sim card to see what will happen.
Regarding warranty, unfortunately I buy it used one and it came from Netherlander, so I can't send it there.

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.
