HD2 stuck at white bootscreen

Hello,
I bought HD2 just yesterday, probably as every member of xda, i tried flashing it. No problem, i tried several ROMs and as far as i remember - after flash it got stuck at white bootscreen with green HTC (i found several threads dealing with this problem, but most of the people had written there ROM, RADIO, .. in the left corner - I dont have this written) So I tried to flash the phone from the SD with stock rom, nothing has changed, I tried taking out the sd & sim card. I tried hardresetting device few times and I got no more ideas.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!
Filip
Edit 1: In the PDA Phone Rom update utility I cannot see the old version of ROM & Radio..
Edit 2: For now I have HSPL in the phone.

sounds like a missmatched rom and radio. once they are both flashed correctly it will boot. (example, a rom based on 2.10 rom will require a radio of around 2.06 or better to boot.)
edit - just seen you flashed with a stock rom from sd card, can you boot to bootloader? (press and hold vol down, tap power on)
dont worry about

I had exactly the same problem several days ago. After exchanging several ROMs, I got stuck at very first white screen with a green banner, but before it even showed the ROM and radio versions on it. And it happen after the ROM flush finished successfully. I also tried to hard reset it a couple of times.
But after that I used a gold card with 1.61 WWE ROM on it that I still have from the time when the HSPL wasn't developed yet.
During the flash from the gold card it waited at first and shown a some kind of error or warning grey exclamation sigh in a triangle, but just for a split second. After that it returned to continue flushing. I think it took twice as long as it should be, but as it finished, I was able to boot, hard reset and re-flash to the stock ROM 1.66 WWE, the usual way through the USB cable.

samsamuel: I can get with no problem to bootloader, could you send me exact link of the rom and radio that work together? And how come, that everytime I connect the phone to charger, it starts up?
mikiort: I havent ever used goldcard, havent ever heard of it better to say..
thanks for your help, guys, really appreciate it!!!

Since you have HSPL stil on your phone
(SPL 1.42.HSPL and not 1.42.0000) you are happy. Flash a stock rom from USB, lets say a 1.66 wwe rom, and if it still wont boot, go to teh radio roms thread, pick a low radio, (the 1.61 for instance) flash that, and you should have a working phone.

yeah, right now im flashin 1.66 WWE but it stopped and 99%... waaa im gettin nervous ok i will try and let you know

Ok, flashed 1.66 WWE but nothing has changed, im about to flash radio.

Flashed Radio 1.61 "Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07.nbh.7z" and still nothing... Oh!!! do you have any other ideas? Or should i again try to flash from SD official ROM?

hmm, sorry to hear that. i'd maybe consider flashing stock from sd card, but you need to be sure you have teh correct stock rom for your phone provider and region.
Be warned, this will remove HSPL, if you do not have the correct stock rom, it wont work.

Yea, i did that once already with 1.48 WWE Eastern Europe, it worked (it didnt show the triangle sign) but it didnt help, now im trying to flash 1.43 but im not expecting anything good

Done, nothing helps ... Now i have SPL 1.42000 so i can get the HSPL but as far as it doesnt help i dont know what to do...

Ok, if you have 1.42.0000 you need to redo the hspl flash. Once the spl is 1.42.hspl you can then flash to the rom of your choice. Which rom were you trying?
Many of the new roms require you to flash to a new radio at least 2.06 and most recently to 2.08 PRIOR to flashing the rom and if you don't the rom does not boot up and gets stuck on the white HTC screen.

really noob question, but anyways... do you firstly flash the rom and than the radio?
and to those ROMs.. i tried duffys, energy and one more i cant remember right now.. Im trying to HSPL and than flash from Vista computer, not XP...

For these newer roms you need to flash the radio first and then the rom, otherwise the rom doesn't boot up and gets stuck on the white screen.

If you are flashing a newer ROM based on the new TMOUS ROM I would flash the 2.08.50.08.03 Radio, then the ROM. Make sure you have HSPL 1.42 first.

Ok, I do have SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL there... now if possible tell me the "for sure" working combination... Btw, i remember how did it happen, i flashed dutty's rom and wifi was not working (option in communications couldnt be turned on/off was grey) and so i tried to flash there other rom.. and it got into problems..

thats usually means you have the phone on usb connected to the computer.

I'm currently using the latest NRG rom (link in my signature) with the 2.08.50.08 radio and that works. Just as I said, flash the radio first and then the rom. The Dutty rom should also work the same way though so the choice is still yours.

OK so here i come, i flashed there firstly the radio Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.05, then Dutty's ROM Duttys Leo HG V1 5.2.21892 but nothing has changed.. I think the device is ready to be sent to HTC, what do you guys think?

What did you do to flash the radio? Please explain how you did it.

Please Help

Hi Guys, Need some help.
Have just flashed my ROM to Duttys new one, Hard SPL'd it first, which worked, now showing SPL-1.42.HSPL
Then I flashed to Duttys Rom, all went ok and completed sucessfully. Hard Reses afterwards, but now it won't boot up. It gets to preparing windows for first time use then resets and just hangs, any ideas any one?

Can you get into BootLoader Mode?
Maybe try to flash a shipped ROM first and after that retry the custom ROM

You probably forgot to flash the updated radio?

Thanks for the replies, I can get into the bootloader, so will revert back to the shipped ROM hopefully.
I thought the Radio was included in the Dutty ROM so didn't need flashing seperatly?

Most cooked ROMs don't have a radio built in. You have to identify the correct radio then flash that separately. This is becoming even more important with the new builds that require the latest radio's to work properly.
I can't understand why people don't take the time to research flashing properly before jumping in.
WB

Ok, I have found out that although it said it includes the radio, it doesn't, so there lies my problem, thanks guys. Off to find the Radio now.

Every flashed ROM freezes my phone...

I'm not a complete numpty at this as have for years been flashing my HTC devices.
However with my HD2, everytime I flash my device, I cannot make a call. It connects but there's no-one one can hear me. When I end the call the whole screen freezes and I have to take the battery out and turn on again.
If I flash back to the original LEO Rom the problem goes away.
Wierd. Any ideas please?

Are you doing a hard-reset after flashing? This means holding the volume up key and the power button at the same time until you get the message asking for confirming of a hard reset.

No - I didnt.
Doing that now. Hope the answers that easy!

I had similar problems and turned out this was it. I was doing a soft-reset instead of the required hard-reset.

Didnt work. Still the same...
Has the radio got anything to do with this?
If it helps, I did HSPL successfully and installed (independantly) radio 2.09.51.03 from HTC (not TMOUS - not that I know what that means )

Yes,
In a lot of cases the Radio you use is very important. A lot of custom roms in particular require specific radios in order to allow for the 575mb ram hack. If the correct radio is not present it usually results in the phone hanging on the white HTC screen, not starting, constantly rebooting etc... Whichever rom you're using check back in that thread to see if it requires a specific radio, if it does then flash it by restarting the phone while holding the volume button in the down position (the bottom of the button) to get it into bootloader then connect the USB cable and link the phone with your PC and put the correct radio on from there.

Would you mind suggesting a ROM with the specific Radio you know will work. I can then rule out my 'interpretation' error! Would appreciate it.

also...is the radio sometimes built in to the ROM?

OK, well using your post, I'm going to flash your 2.08.50.08 radio then the Energy series 23554. That should work right...

it did for me tho now i am on TOUCH_X_TREME_23554_EURO_2_30_5_54

yeah it should, i had a 2.07.51 radio rom on my HD2 when i tried the energy rom out first and same result as you. Did some digging about it and found that Energy rom only works with 2.08.50 radio, so flash it and you will be fine.

OK, well thats 2.08.50 onboard. Now for Energy 23554 Apr 01.7z

Screen freezes on splash HTC HD2

Had before the ENERGYROMS, but my HD2 (leo) was hanging over- and over, so I've read about TASK29.
Well I just downloaded it, extracted somewhere and followed all instructions, but now after using TASK29 I only get the splashscreen.
Is there any way to solve this?
Before I had Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.UI.Jun.02, HSPL2 and Leo_Radio_15.40.50.07U_2.11.50.20.
I'm a bit desperate now, anyone who knows what the **** I bricked now?
Cheers

when you flashed energy you probably forgot to flash a compatible radio.
go into boot loader, flash any radio mentioned in the energy posts (you did read EVERY word in thee first few posts, right? cos only noobs skip straight to the download without reading first....)
once the radio is flashed go back into boot loader and flash energy.

Maybe it's not bricked yet - remove the battery, let it cool down for some 15 minutes, than try again?

Jo mate, no as I said; I had an Energyrom AND the correct radio (newest), but I had problems with hanging homescreens etc, so it was so annoying that I was looking for a good way to solve it. So someone said here that I had to download TASK29 and CLEAN the whole HD2 and after that install the ENERGYROM again so it would be all refreshing as new. But now it doesn't work, after using TASK29, at all! I'm ****ed

You have reflashed the Radio and the Rom you want after the task29 havent you? if you have, try flashing a HTC Stock rom. If that works then flash back to the Rom u want.
But it's almost certainly because you dont have the correct Radio Rom on.

yea, what the_ape said.
when you task 29 it wipes the phone so it won't boot.
enter bootloader and flash your rom.

basically repeating what Sam said but looks like you don't have a ROM on your phone at all now, just flash the ROM you want again and all will be good

Thanks people, gonna try it within an hour, I will let you guys know if it's gonna work

[Q] Task 29 problem

I'm sorry i know it's against the rules to be starting a new thread but it's been a week i've been asking for help and no one noticed. This is just a try to come noticed.
I installed task 29 on my blackstone. I had olinex 1.56 installed and later did the task29 with radio 1.13, 1.14 and 1.17 After successfully doing it i went on step 2 that is installing a clean rom. I tried these roms
blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1
RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110
WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.Shipped ROm
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship(3)
They get installed but after i store the contacts and everything it gets stuck if kept for like half an hr. The screen doesn't respond but power button and the volume button works.
I took my phone to a repair center and they couldn't fix it. So please help me i've just got only one phone.
I don't mean to offend any moderators by this but i'm just asking for your help. Thank You

Try reinstalling stock ROM after Task 29.
Restore ONLY contacts, and then try using device for several days.
DO NOT install any other software!!!
If it works, then problem is in some data or software you're restoring.
If not, restore original SPL and original ROM and try again.
If it does not work... and service can not help you... then sorry...

Hello i did reinstall the stock rom after task 29 and i was using pimbackup for restoring but that freezed my phone so i installed the stock rom again and thought of not using it. Did that but nothing much helped.
I hope believe these are the correct shipped roms
WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.Shipped ROm
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship(3)
Everything on xda has worked like wonders for me. Be it android on any other rom but right after task29 nothing seems to be working on my phone.
One thing i've noticed after installing any rom after task29 is if i get to the bootloader it gets me to a 1 sec white screen saying no image found. I hope what's causing a problem.

Do you understand WHAT Task 29 is?
It formats the partition drive of your device where the ROM resides. Meaning, it wipes any data regarding ROM.
So of course it would say "No image found".
I don't know which ROM is stock for your device. Try to update ROM via HTC site.
If lucky, it will suggest / let you find adequate ROM.
For my device it's 1.56.407.2 (German)!
If unlucky, it will say "Not supported" or something like that - then go for Orange 1.59.61.2 ROM.
And you might try one 1.5x ROM flash WITHOUT Task 29...

Just try installing stock ROM by stock RUU with USB cable. It will format data for you so you do not need any task 29 before flashing. If it doesn't work, try NOT restoring your contacts.

Thanks will do it and keep yu updated with it..

Thanks i tried installing the stock rom like you told me but then got stuck on the screen alignment screen. I later installed blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 and now it's responding to every touch. Thanks alot. I hope this stays like this and yes instead of restoring i forwarded all the contacts through bluetooth. Owe you a BiiiiiiiiiiiiG thanks..

Too soon to be happy as same again..I don't think there should be a problem with touch as it works fine for first 1hr but right after something gets stored by something i mean contacts it stops reponding after sometime. The volume and power button work all fine. I can't make out the problem. Any ideas or suggestions. Shall i make a video and post ??

FIRST you have to make it work with factory settings - stock SPL and stock ROM.
After that flash what you like...

I think you have to follow Bodisson's suggestion, do everything as stock and retest without restoring anything. If it still failed...... you should have it repaired
Good luck!!

I had a very bad flash when I first tried Cloudy 0.7.
Unstable and freezing clock in TouchFLO (but NOT system clock!), crashing programs, very slow satelite lock with radio 1.17 on, sudden autolocking/unlocking...
So I did Task29, put on stock ROM (latest German 6.1), after that latest Orange to get newer radio, and after that Cloudy's 0.7.
Now I'm happy so far...
And I'll stick with radio 1.14 for now since it uses a bit less battery than 1.17...

Glad to see somebody researching things out and settling on a radio he prefers due to performance rather than those just going for latest

I totally agree with spartan on this one. It's better to stick with old one's for performance rather than having problems with the latest one's. My device is working better than before but it does get stuck. I'm using stock rom with 6.1 and want to switch to 6.5 so looking for some compatible 6.5 rom with radio 1.14 maybe
Bodisson can you tell me all what you're using bro so that i can tr it on with my device.

All rom's should work with each radio to be honest. Glad your device is working better, though still a little baffled why you're still having difficulties
EDIT - You are on a wm6.1 rom. Is the rom based on 1.56+, if not you may need to revert to HSPL 1.14

I know it got me bedazzled as well as i've flashed couple of times before but never faced any such difficulties. I even tried android on my phone and everything worked like charm. RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship is what i'm using at the moment. I did try to flash it again with a 6.5 version rom but still gets stuck. The phone does get stuck once in a while if it is kept unused for a while so don't exactly know how to go on about it.
P.S: I know how hard it is to control things as an admin as i myself run a group. Photography in my case. Cheers

I'm baffled but still want to get to the bottom of your issue and would appreciate any help from other members who may have idea's on how to solve your issue. From what I've read everything you have done is correct, but I don't like being stumped!!
If we start from the start, we may get to the bottom of this........

Ok it all started when i tried installing task 29. I flashed my blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 rom thinking task 29 will work awesomely fast with some newer version as it'll get installed as the default rom.
My phone started freezing like anything right after i flashed it with task 29. Right now my device is running on 1.56.405.1(43972) WWE and 1.13.25.24 rom and freezes again once in a while.
Just waiting for some miracle to make it work fine again.

Well as you know a T29 formats device so you need to flash a rom or you'll be stuck at boot screen. Before you do a T29 it states you must have HSPL on your device first. Now from what I've read you did have HSPL on first and your T29 worked as you where stuck at boot screen afterwards.
I'm assuming you turned device off, booted into bootloader then flashed youir rom (blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1) which is based on 1.56+ as was your HSPL.
This all seems correct so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Is above all correct?
Did you try a T29 again and flash different rom or did you just flash different rom over existing?

I did task 29 on blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 and tried installing RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110 in this process i started task 29 first and flashed it with radio 1.14 by placing the radio and task29 in same folder. Once done it got stuck with windows mobility. After that i restarted on bootloader once again and flashed it with RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110 . It does get installed but then freezes on configuring device for first time use and then freezes big time on the screen for alignment. I had 1.56 installed before flashing with task 29. If the whole thing bypasses the align screen the rom will keep freezing big time.
That's been the whole issue.

Right, I never put any files in same folder as it only confuses flashing process and can cause issues. I.e. put T29 in its own folder, radio 1.14 in its own folder and then rom in another folder.
Do a T29 and when its complete, I.e. stuck in smart mobility screen. Then you take out battery to turn phone off. After this put phone into bootloader and flash rom. Then flash radio after it as a lot of roms have a radio file included
