[Solved] Task 29 bricked my phone! Help! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Hey guys,
Well i had 2.08hspl on my phone with a 2.10._50 radio (something like that) and i ran task 29 to clean up my phone for a chunky rom.
After i ran the task29 utility, everything went to 100%, but i missed hittin the volume key in time. So i took out my battery and put it back in. Now i cant get the device to power up whatsoever.
Am i screwed?

Hi Jhonka
Can you get into bootloader mode? I have doen Task29 many times, and no issues, even if i miss the volume key. Try pressing the volume key down and hitting the power button for a moment before letting it go. Should get you into bootloader, and usb mode once you connect to the PC thru USB.

no i can't even get into the bootloader

may be not enough battery power

your problem might be "not enough battery power"
charge your phone for a while and press power button by while pressing volume down.
hope it works.
good luck!

what is the specific type/model of your phone?
battery might be low as mentioned by another user above.

take out the battery and press volume down and power-on to get into bootloader. connect yr device via usb and flash the ROM.
are u sure yr battery is not empty?

on the second thought, maybe the task29 was run without radio ROM?

sounds like it was run using a ..51.. radio on a tmous.

so is it beyond help? wow, bummer
about naming convention, does TMOUS-compatible, TMOUS-support ROMs mean it's a TMOUS ROM?

yes if it says tmous ok or tmous compatible or whatever then it means that that rom is based on version 2.x official tmous rom so it will work on tmous.
as for the op, if he did use a ..51.. radio then yes its unrecoverable.
but there are one or two posts with black screen, phone not booting, that aren't caused by this, but not many.
@op try the battery out for an hour and then try again.

thanks for all the responses guys.
I finally got it to work, i took the battery out for 30 minutes and held down the power button. (which i hear drains the rest of the charge in the phone)
turned it on, freaked out with joy then installed my new rom.

if you can go to the bootloader,then put the radio into your sd card and change the name accordingly.
then flash from boot loader.
am i right?

Hi
Recommmended way of flashing is for the HD2 is from your pc not from microsd. Put the device in the bootloader and connect the usb and flash the radio or rom from the pc. This is the way is more safe.
Good luck

Maybe someone can rescue me (quick! EEK!)

Hi all,
Maybe someone can help me out!
I am stuck at work - cant even really surf but had to post as I just feckered my mates HD2!
BOOOOO!!
So I installed HSPL and its still there.
Flashed up to energy ROM (APRIL 1st)
Then got stuck in reboot cycle - phone wouldnt boot unless it had power plugged in.
Took battery out of it and put mine in it which had higher charge - not much.
Then I got it booted into 6.5. Customised and changed settigns for Vodaphone.
Rebooted and phone stuck in loop again.
Couldnt get back into Vodaphone.
Went to bootloader and then used the official:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
Flashed the bugger.
Then tried to boot again.
No boot without power inserted
Phone will not complete boot even with power
gives HTC white welcome, shows ROM etc
vibrates backto HTC white welcome.
Rinse
Repeat
Can anyone give me any ideas what I can do with this? He is coming to get it at 5.30; I am meant to have FPSECE Morph gear and all sorts of other shizzle for him
He is going to get a brick
any ideas would be GREATLY welcome.
no flames please if I missed something, I am desperate to sort this quick and quiet.
Try make Task29 and then reflash Radio and ROM, it could help you i think...
Have you installed radio 2.08 ?
You should. You can install it by downloading it and use customRUU to install the file.
Put phone in bootloader first.
Your mate's phone will be revived
What radio do you have installed. The NRG roms require radio 2.08.50 in order to boot.
Yea sounds like a radio issue. You didn't mention what phone? US Tmo HD2 or everywhere else HD2?
Is GSM HD2
I have done all above task 29 new radio - loads of roms.....stuck in circle.
Phone will not boot without apower lead in it
Ahh feck [email protected]
What version radio does it read then when you are stuck in your bootscreen ?
is it still 2.06 or 2.08 now ?
Installing HSPL doen NOT upgrade your Radio.
What is your SPL version ?
And "fecking ass" is groce. Try fecking some koent.

Actually they dont require 2.08... they require a radio without .51 numbering.
You can use
2.07.50.27
or
2.08.50.08
either will work just fine.

True, I use 2.07 (old signature LOL), but just mentioned 2.08 as it's the recommended one.
Oh ****e
Ok all,
Big warning to all here:
See my attached image.
I bent the left most battery connection pin out a tiny little bit - so little I didnt notice it.
Then the phone would obviouslly only boot without the power plugged in.
The pin was being pushed out! and not connecting with the battery.
I bent it back and it booted whilst I was explaiing that I was having teething trouble with his new ROM.
HAHA
Thanks VERY much to all for ideas and fast feedback - really thought I done it in then! Bloody hell Id have had to give him mine!!!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
@ the try some Koent line......OH GOD LOLOLOL
Waht with the relief of fixing the device and a joke like that, I was ROFL ing it - Not RALPH ing it...
Thanks again all
Yarod, the above advice for the radio version applies only to the custom rom.
By flashing a factory rom from the memory card you have probably overwritten hspl which is why this dosen't boot.
First thing to do is reflash hspl in the bootloader, via usb. If you remove your memory card and hard reset, then you should get a working phone. Assuming it's a vodafone branded handset you can use a vodafone branded rom without the need for hspl - there's a 1.66 version up on the uk site.
If you want a custom rom, use hspl and check the radio requirements before flashing
and most importantly flash via the usb only to avoid overwriting hspl.
hth,
mike
hah! bent pin, nice one. Bet you felt a huuuge wave of relief wash over ya when it booted eh? Gotta love that post adrenaline comedown.
here we go again with another victim....
1. Hard reset
a. turn off your HD2
b. hold Volume up and down and press end button till it will vibrate show white screen that you wanna hard reset
c. release volume up and down
d. press volume up for continue Hard reset
e. press volume up for continue boot up
it will boot up your device...
2. install radio for energy click here or herefor download
3. Use Customs RUU from here
4. flash your radio
5. now you are good to go....
i hope this helps i know how you feel cause i had same problem and this phone worth a lot so... take care...

HD2 BRICKED...please someone help

I was on Radio 2.10.50; i fashed radio 2.07.50 everithing was fine after the flash; then i run TASK29 by doloop; but after that the bootloader dont start, only the HTC star screen appears, i have to pull out the battery to reset the phone, and restart with the volumne down button pressed but still the same i tried almost 20 times but still the same.....
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.....i flashed almost 40 times before and run TASK 29 before but this never hapened, im desesperated.....
take your battery off, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back in, hold Vol- and push power. ou will be at the 3 color screen. Connect the USB cable, get the 'USB' text below and flash a ROM.
Obviously you have HSPL, on the phone, right? you were able to do task 29..
bigE
Bootloader wont charge
Yes i have HSPL, but after the TASK 29, i think it have been deleted, now the bootloader does not exist, i tried pushind down and reseting the volume down, but without the bootloader, it wont start.
Maybe if i run a SHIPPED ROM from the SD card...???

i don't think run Task29 will delete bootloader. You should wait for better advices from someone in here before you try something else that you are not sure.
nope, that is not possible. Unless you have a malfunction with the phone, there shouls be a bottloader..
Do you hold Vol- (keep your finger on) at all times? you should not leave the button until phone wakes up at bootload. The power button can be pushed and be left after about 0.5 a second.
Another wild idea- maybe you battery is dead? try charging it for 15 minutes..
Thanks
Thanks for your advices man, im doing it, but nothing appears to work, im seriously deseperating, i dont know why the bootloader dont start.
Even more, before i run TASK 29, i ve entered bootloader directly pushing down the volume key and everything was fine; but now it seriously appear that the bootloader have been deleted or even i can acces it.
Ive read some other similar cases; and a lot report the same problem, after flashing a new radio, and then runing the TASK29, the bootloader,apparently have been deleted.
About the battery
About the battery, i also think that was the posible problem,because, it was abouth 60% when i flash the radio; and when i run TASK 29, i dont see how much it was,because, ive entered bootloader directly; but ive charged for about 1 hour and still the same the bootloader wont charge, i only get the damn HTC screen.....
I was thinking about flashing shipped rom fom the SD card, but thing it be imposible because to do HSPL (bootloader) is needed, and or my bootloader has deleted or is imposible to acces it so i think that will be a useless option
Posible solution
I think one posible solution was to install HSPL from SD card again; but i think it is imposible...but seriously i wish i was wrong about it.
OK then, try to flash a stock ROM, although i doubt you can.. Maybe you VOL- button isn't really pushed in? I am running out of ideas.. I have HTC phones for several years and never lost the bootloader. By definition the bootloader is a different component on the phone's board, and oe can not write to it from the USB interface (normally it is hardwire write protected). Do you have another battery? or did you try charging a bit?
dannytgt, what model of your device?
I think the answer is simple. When you ran Task 29, did u put the desired Radio in the same map? was it Called ruu_signed.nbu? if you didnt, that would explain why you have no bootrom.
I would run it again but this time with the latest radio in the same map. I hope it works for you man.

You re right when i run Task 29, i dont have put the Radio in the same folder; i flashed the Radio separately, and then i Run TASK 29.
I tried to run it again. but its imposible, because I DONT HAVE THE BOOTLOADER, so its imposible....
i really apreciate your ideas, i really thanks all of you guys and i hope you will still sharing any ideas about unbricking my phone.
It gets really hard to get a phone like this in my country, i ve done a lot of effort...to have this phone...so i still dont give up about leaving it like that

The radio is not needed to start the bootloader.
Well, strange issue with your phone. You really can't enter the bootloader by holding vol down press power on and keep holding vol down?
There MUST be some kind of boot loader. i think without there would be a white screen.
If it is not opening in Boot loader try flashing rom using sync process if your hd2 is booting to Os. otherwise that is only way other have described you. Take battery out . Wait for 5 minutes. Put battery in n press Vol Down button and press power on button. your phone should on in Boot loader .
Some time it happens with me also. but automatically after 2-3 tries it loads in boot loader menu.. dont know what is the problem.. but whatever it is.. IS Strange..
Good Luck
Have you tried hard resetting your phone by holding both the up and down volume when you start? Task 29 deleted the rom so you will need to flash a rom, but if you cant enter bootmode, thats not possible..
Your problem seems to be quite unique. Almost makes me think it is the volume down button that is not responding well...
do you have your battery cover on when trying to press the volume down button?
If yes, try it without the battery cover on

correct, impossible.
The phone wont go past the grey screen because there is no rom to load. Bootloader has NOT been overwritten,. task29 cannot do that.
Chances are you simply aren't entering bootloader correctly.
Take off the battery cover (to get a better press)
phone completely powered off.
press, hold and keep holding 'volume down' (not up and down, not up, just down)
tap AND RELEASE (dont release vol down) the power button
keep holding vol down
as soon as the three coloured screen appears, then release vol down.
once the word serial changes to usb, flash your rom.
i have a feeling your Vol Down button is not working. that's why its not entering bootloader. u going to disassemble your phone? hmm...be careful with that.
Bricked HD2
Would you be willing to ship it to me? I could have some fun trying to figure some stuff out since you're not having any luck.

lol, still no hard facts,,,, by model i meant is it a tmous(green send key, red end key, says t mobile under earpiece) or a regular hd2(all keys white)?
what's the last thing you did? did you flash something? (full filename please)
it rather sounds like you have a tmous and have flashed the wrong radio and bricked it, but without any facts thats just a wild guess. that or bent battery pin.

That means then that you have a tmous phone, and it sounds like you have flashed an incompatible radio, which has killed (no fix) your phone. However, we cant be 100% sure of that till you give us teh full name of teh last rom/radio you flashed.
(had you answered that in post 8, you would have had 4 hours to cry by now, and would be feeling slightly better, sadly i fear the despair is yet to hit )

now i want to flash it with proper rom file and back it live. can i ?
The problem is you can't even get the phone to start... Send it back for warranty. That's your best (and only) option for this moment...

[Q] Bricked phone after task29 and rom flashing

Hello. First I want to thank all of you who develop roms and the like. I have had such a blast over the past month and a half customizing my phone in ways I never thought possible. Last night I ran flashaholicruu.exe on my HTC HD2 Leo. The task29 seemed to work properly, however when I attempted to flash the rom I received errors. I tried Leo_Radio_2.11.50.26.sfx, which had previously worked on my phone. It stopped at 96%. I did the recovery, however the phone now will not even boot the splash screen. It simply vibrates non-stop when I turn it on until I remove the battery. Does anyone have ANY advice at all? Am I able to load a ROM onto the SD card and directly boot from it while my phone is in this state?
I have removed the battery and reinserted it. Did not work.
I have also tried pressing the volume buttons and the power on button to get the bootloader, but just vibrates in the same manner as when I press on button.
Please help!
Thank you

Ahh. I wish. T-Mobile is giving me a hard time about replacing it because I was not the original owner of the phone. The phone is only about 3-4 months old though.
I had this happen to me.
Try to load it directly into bootloader by holding vol-down when you press power button, then flash another radio (i recommend 2.12.5) then try another ROM thru RUU.
Also, make sure your battery is place in there securely and that all 3 pins from the phone are sticking out.
I had a situation where one of the pins was sticking vertically and the battery was only hitting 2 (from doing too many battery pulls) and it did this weird vibrate splash screen boot sequence.

You'll need contact details for the original owner, but by law they have to honor the agreement they put in place with them, regardless of whether you are that person or not.
Just get back onto T-Mobile and if they say no then speak to someone higher up. I know this to be the case after selling a palm pre to someone at the beginning of the year and it died on him shortly after.

Really? This is good to know. I contacted the original owner. I feel so bad and I hope he doesn't think I am trying to scam him. I just want a working phone and I think that T-Mobile should honor that.

I think the bootloader may be gone. Does the task29 remove this? I can't get even to the bootloader using the method above (I have tried many times).

Good to know, I will try this. I do have some bent pins.
No task 29 doesn't remove the bootloader, I always use it before flashing a new ROM...

he needs to rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and pair it with the RUU that came
with that same stock ROM
but then again, if he cant get into bootloader, the phone is definitely bricked

What exactly did you do to try and enter bootloader mode? You said you pressed the volume 'buttons' and the power button but that combination would initiate a Hard Reset and not bootloader mode..
How to get into your Bootloader
1. Turn your phone off
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear.
3. To exit Bootloader you need to remove your back cover and pull the battery out for a few seconds, then replace it and press the power button to reboot your phone.
If you cannot get into the bootloader with the above instructions then it looks like you have bricked your device somehow but im not sure exactly how you could do it as task29 doesnt touch HardSPL.
If you can get into bootloader then you can flash a rom back to your device using the sd card method in my guide *HERE*.
Mark.

About to destroy my HD2 (Need help)

This phone has been giving me hell for a really long time.
In short; it don't work. It will flash but will never boot right.
When I got my HD2 it had the stock WinMo 6.5.3 ROM that worked perfectly. I played with booting Android off my flash drive but got the fast audio problem. So I flashed ChuckyDroidROM, and used that for a month with some different Android builds, all worked fairly well.
But then one day, it started crashing after a while of use. Sometimes it would just not let me unlock it, and other times it completely crashes and restarts. Every time it happened earlier and earlier after booting.
So I tried Task29 and putting the stock ROM back on it, no go. It crashes right after it boots.
Now I've flashed HSPL 2.08.HSPL, Radio 2.15.50.14, and MAGLDR 1.12. I'm trying to flash WP7 to it, but since the MAGLDR menu doesn't show up, I can't flash anything.
It boots into MAGLDR, but just shows "aMAGLDR V1.12, Build: 12 2011 XX:XX:XX, by Cotulla 2011" but nothing else. The menu doesn't show up, but it did once....
Any ideas? I'm desperate. I'm about to blow it up....
EDIT: Now it won't even f**king turn on!!!! And yes the battery is FULL
I'm having an issue with my HD2 also (even though I've flashed it successfully several times) so this sounds like a very, very isolated issue. The problem I'm having - disabled phone functions in WP7 - also appears to be an isolated issue. Sometimes these things can be the result of a bad flash. Give this thread a week. You're in the right place.

When your rebooting and the splash screen shows up are you holding down the power button to gain access to magldr options?

Did you took out your SD card? If no, take it out, try turn it on. If you can reach the boot (means the multicolors menu) than your good to flash.
I have the feeling that might be because of damaged SD card (similar issue I had). Hope that helps.
Good luck!

Yes I am. It showed up today, and I was able to flash WP7 to the device, but now it will not boot into WP. It freezes at MAGLDR, no options.

I can flash anything I want, it just never boots, or it boots and then crashes immediately. I have tried with and without my SD card/SIM card.
Wow it seems as if your doing every thing right. My suggestion is, Re-flash the stock Rom that came with the phone, Revert back to the original radio and spl. Call your sevice provider for a replacment phone as it sounds like its defective. Thats what i would do.

Go into Bootloader Flash a Stock Rom.
Then Update the Radio
Format SD -.- but backup your Data
and try to reflash MAGLDR
After that try to reflash Wp7 it should work
New developement:
It won't turn on, period. Nothing.
The power button does nothing, the reset button does nothing, nothing works.
The battery is at 4.1V, it's rated at 3.7V, would that cause the phone to not turn on?
Maybe a hardware failure.
Any warranty?
This happens when the phone over heats dont turn it for a while and dont have it conect it to the computer or anything when u try turn it on.
