[Q] Is my HD2 bricked? What can I do?

Hi there everyone!
I installed a NAND Android Rom Dl Desire Z or something... everything was working, but suddendly phone just crashes, and nothing but a white screen appear as soon as HD2 powers on.
The only thing i'm able to do is to go to 3 color mode (hardspl) - but all attempts to flash a wm6.5 rom failed because customruu failed in the middle of the process. freezes at 0% and then appears a communication error in the application.
Conclusion: as soon as phone turns on, only a white screen appears, with nothing written in it.
i've searched for 2 hours in xda and google, nothing similar came...
i've reflashed hardspl3 - sucessfull, but nothing changed, white screen still appears.
i've tried to flash other roms but always freezes at 0%, and appears communication error in customruu application.
I don't know what to do :/
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you very much!!

If you can still get into bootloader and you do have hspl installed, try flashing the winmo rom via sd card.

Will do!
I'll post feedback

Start flashing official 1.66(its EU, you need analog to 1024 LEO) WM 6.5 rom from HSPL, than HPSL3, radio with 576 RAM(Radio_2.15.50.14 for example), than MAGLDR112, and after these steps flash Android

Hey there!
I've tried all the methods above indicated.
Flashed a new rom through sd - update failed
Flashed a stock 1.66 Wmo rom but white screen still appears as soon as phone is turned on
Can't downgrade HSPL to 1.42 or so...
Can't do Task 29...
What can I do?
Suggestions?!
Thank you!

Hello
Im thinking maybe your motherboard as many tmous users ?.. just thinking..maybe?? I don't hope it for you
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It doesn't make sense :S
I never had any problem with it, and it was running a new Android rom for the second time.. then I take the phone out of the pocket and it is with a white screen...
I can get to the hspl boot but it isn't proving useful...
Any thoughts?

Bricked Phone - Did android NAND kill it?

My phone has been running an Android NAND for a couple of months, and the other day it just froze and then on rebooting i get a plain white screen.
I can get to the bootloader and so far nothing flashes to it
HSPL - Critical Error
SD-CARD flash - red numbers or just continual loading
USB flash - sits at 0% then gets error
so what killed my phone?
and is there ANY way i can get it working again, if not...i will throw it in the bin or perhaps smash it up with a hammer and post a youtube video here...im that annoyed! I wouldnt mind if i continually flashed roms, but i didnt...flashed on Android NAND and now its dead.

Find yourself a standard Winmobile rom and radio for the HD2 (if yours is a TMOUS device make sure you choose the correct radio and rom type for this device) and flash them to your device. With a bit of luck your device should then boot up.
If you then wish to go down the Android route again then read and follow all the instructions on here to do so. Don't forget to make sure your battery is fully charged before you attempt the reflash.
Good luck, hope it goes well.

Do you still have the Andriod ROM on your HD2? If so boot into MAGLDR by turning the HD2 off and then pressing andbolding down the power button. Then use the volume up and down keys to scoll through the menu and find recovery and press the send button to select.
If you nolonger have the Andriod ROM then I suggest running a Task 29 on your HD2 then try to flash the official ROM to your HD2. If you are still having trouble getting it to flash do not get discuraged just keep tring to get it to flash, heck trythe USB method for awhile then try the SD card method for awhile. For some unknown reason to me a lot of people here on XDA have been having trouble getting their HD2 to flash a ROM. But all of them just kept trying and eventually got it to flash a ROM. Best of luck.

tried and tried and tried again, anyone wants this brick for free, i will post.

Did you run a Task 29 on your HD2 as I mentioned in my previous post? I beleive this will help you out. Also if you still have MAGLDR on your HD2 you can try to reflash the Andriod ROM. If you no longer have MAGLDR on your HD2 then you can reflash HSPL 2.08 and reflash MAGLDR by usinig the bootloader and the try flashing the Adriod ROM. Just make sure the white bar of the bootloader screen says USB and not Serial before you try to flash anything.

T-Mac, I have this problem. It's not something as simple as with MAGLDR or CWM. You can't even get a bootscreen let alone flash anything from HSPL (everything sticks at %0) lol.
Dude, your best bet is to try go flash a custom WinMo ROM. I used one of Artemis' ROM's. It had a .nbh file so I renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh and put on my SD card (512-4GB max) and then boot to HSPL and it'll allow you to flash the ROM.
It'll flash correctly but once it reboots it'll go back to the white screen. After that, it'll be able to charge when off so let it charge overnight while off, then in the morning try unplug the USB from the phone then pull battery and put it back in then try boot. It worked like 3 times for me so you might aswell try it.
I personally think it's a problem with MAGLDR and maybe it becomes corrupt or something.

hi
im gonna try this now, but i have a small problem...it did flash HSPL and now it is on 2.08.000 and it wont flash back
its one nightmare after another.

made a little progress, when trying to flash stock rom from sd it just sits on loading.... no error but doesnt do anything else.

Try this turn your HD2 off and remove the battery for a couple of minutes and then put the battery back in. I do not know if the HD2 has a reset like this or not. But a lot of electronicsreset certain things when all power is disconnected. This may not help but what can it hurt. Best of luck.

I'll take it. In this day of T-Mo being sold off, I need a challenge to distract me and keep me happy

[Q] Need some help getting ANYTHING running on my HD2

Ok guys so I could use some help here. I bought a new (used) HD2 yesterday. It is the TMOUS version and I am having every problem I could possibly imagine with it. When I bought it the phone would only boot to the pink T-Mobile screen. It wouldn't go any further than that. I have been able to succesfully able to boot it into the 3 color bootloader screen and am able to flash HSPL using the HSPL4 program. I have successfully flashed both 2.08 and 3.03 HSPL. One time I was even able to flash MAGLDR 1.13 but when it booted into MAGLDR it only showed a black screen with MAGLDR at the top. It didn't give me any options to do anything. I believe that it is because MAGLDR only works with radio 2.15 from what I have read, but I can't seem to get that radio or any other for that matter to flash to the phone. It gets stuck at 96% then I get a connection error. I have no idea what radio it currently has or had as I have done a task 29 a couple of times and it flashes correctly but doesn't change anything. I have tried it on two different computers using 2 different operating systems (XP, WIN7). I have searched until my eyes bleed and done everything I can think of I have been working on this for a little over 12 hours now and I am ready to throw this phone against the wall, so could someone please help me save my sanity and get this thing working or at least tell me that I am SOL and nothing I can do will fix it.
Edit well now I think it is officially bricked. I tried flashing Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 that I got from DFT_LEO70_RELEASE and it stopped at 16%. The recovery wizard came up and I did exactly what it said and now the phone won' reboot into the bootloader or do anything for that matter.

if you get the 3 colour screen then it likely the phone will work, you need to start from scratch
use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
I would task 29 then instal a stock rom, if that works and it should providing you have not installed an incorrect radio, then consider a custom rom
Have you tried pressing and holdingthe up and down Volume buttons and then press the power button?
The 2.15.50.14 would not normaly brick the phone iirc
time patience and following the instructions is what you need, Good luck

HD2 dead?

My HD2 turns on and everything, I can goto the tri color screen fine, but I cant load any ROMs on it anymore, i tried flashing everything WM6.5, 7, Android, and nothing seems to work, it will turn on to the white screen with the green HTC logo and it would vibrate like 5 times then nothing it just sits there, I flashed MAGLDR and tried reinstalling WP7 after the reboot it will goto the MAGLDR screen vibrate 5 times and then nothing happens! Is my phone completely dead from running any ROMs?

have you flashed a radio ROM? if so, which one?

I have the latest radio already 2.15.50.14

it is time to change your phone.
hd2 is too old to use

HD2, may the battery be failing or maybe phone itself overheating?

Hello.
When i try to update my radio i sometimes get to 100% but then it says Software update failed. Please try again.
and if i let it stand at the TRIcolor screen for some seconds too long it get stuck at a random percentage...
when i try to install a rom it get stuck at a random %.
I have tried different HSPL(using 2.08HSPL atm) but same result.
The only thing i can get to install is magldr, but even here in the magldr meny it get random freezes.
I just bought it used and the bootlogo is NRG Energizer. (tought it would be htc
Thanks
UPDATE:
I was just wandering if it was the battery that was failing? because the phone always seem to "Work" when it has been off for a while.
a couple of minutes in with the phone booted it may random freeze or soft-reset and then i have to let it "cool" before it will start booting Energy rom again. (it gets stuck on phone Splash screen without showing in red which Radio and rom i have etc.) After i let it "cool" it starts and i can see in red which radio and rom i have from the phone splash screen.
The same freeze also occours when it is not "cooled" down and i try flashing feks. a radio.
I managed to flash the radio early in the morning when the phone still was "cooled" down
any theories?
Thanks

Have you considered reformatting the NAND (Task29)? I just learned about that process. It may help.

Thanks, but i have allready tried that a couple of time.
I think it may be radio bricked as it always fail on RADIO with when i try SD method with stock rom, or any radio.
however i have managed to get it success with RADIO Radio_2_07_51_22_2 and Radio Radio_2_14_50_04.
but i havnt got any closer to booting the OS i think
i heard that if i install a rom without radio it may boot?
any1 know of any rom?

OH MY GOD!
it just booted up Energy Titanium ROM!!
Do u guys still thinks its radio bricked?
