Hd2 bootloader screwed

After I did a task 29 weeks ago, my hd 2 started to act strangely
I frequently stuck at the white htc screen (w/o version numbers) after reset
must take battery out and put it back and try again until it boots
today, I tried like 20 times it still won't boot, so I try to flash a newer ROM, it didnt boot either, so I use SD to flash back to stock, overwriting everything, but the problem persists, I cannot boot into stock ROM. So I HSPL-ed, reflash radio and ROM, still the same. Now I totally cannot boot into WM, always stuck at white screen, can enter tri-color screen or hard reset but booting cannot be done.
I booted in 3 times today, but it hangs after a few minutes and after pull out battery/soft reset, same problem again....
Any solutions, or I just have to flash back to stock and send for warranty.

still no reply/solutions?
my soft reset button gonna spoil alrdy, booted 4th time jz now, but hangs after 1 minute

Try doing a task 29 make sure u get the correct radio for ur phone and after task 29 reflash if u do a search u will find task 29 info

i use a 2.12.50.02_2 radio and all the rom i flashed requires 2.XX.50.XX radio
task-ed 29 again, still the same....... on energy/chucky/stock, use radio 2.07.50/2.08.50/2.12.50
also, I stated that I flashed back to stock the problem still persists, so the main cause is not ROM/Radio
PS: Now I flashed ChuckyROM (which changes the bootscreen), and I am stuck at the new bootscreen (STILL WITHOUT VERSION) again.

another successful boot, but auto reboot 30 seconds later
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Start from the bare minimum and setup the ideal conditions for the phone to boot - keep things cool, remove sd card, full batt, etc. You could try the stripped down winmo rom that is used for loading Android (haret) quickly. It only has the essentials to load into windows.
My GF's HD2 seems have similar probs to the common freezing hd2.
I thought that this was an interesting quote from another thread.

cambxo, have you checked the battery connection pins? People have experienced symptoms similar to yours (resetting and never getting past the boot screen) when one or more of the little gold pins gets bent. Can't guarantee that's the issue, but it's worth a look.

I love threads like that. heh. We'll fix this. Now that Android is getting more refined, eventually you could use it as a troubleshooting tool. It would help differentiate NAND problems from CPU/Batt/Heat problems.

thanks, it partially fixed my phone, i straighten the gold pin and allow the battery to cool for a few minutes(by removing and re-applying) before each boot,now it is able to boot into winmo.

[Q] android stop working

Okay this is my first ever thread so pls dont bash on where its posted. So the problem is, is that my android on hd2 would stop working after I reboot my phone. Idk why but it just hangs at the boot screen, which is white and has HTC on it. This has happened with every android rom I use and I can't even find answers when I google the problem. I'm using the htc energy rom and a 32gb sd card.

Strange i have exaclty the same! i updated to MccM HD 3Beta two days ago. Ill try another now and see what happpen

Questions belong in the Q&A Forum
No bashing just a friendly bit of advise for future reference.
Mark.

I've been going through different android roms and everytime I reboot into the wm energy rom I can't boot back into android. At this point I'm afraid to turn of my hd2, but I need to so I can recalibrate my battery stat.

I’m using HTC HD2 T-mobile v and also I have the same problem,
What kind of details will help u?
=P
Android was smoothly worked before the problem.
And I feel it was not stable with the SD card, for example i put some files on it by using the USB and after I check them from the phone not all are there.
And the problem began when the android said "save remove for SD card"
After second it shakes. I remove the battery to reboot it and it is just can't complete booting to android. It is stop at HTC white start screen.

For me the same,
I use a Android rom and when I launch Android, it doesn't leave the HTC screen. I kept it running all night long, but it didn't work. All my contact and text messages are in Android and now I can't reach them anymore, what should I do?

i make a temporary Solution =P
i replace all the "SDcard/Android" files except "data.img"
because "data.img" contain all data we build
try it and give me ur feed back ^_^

I have problem booting to andriod too, since yesterday morning, i was using android, the screen was freeze, so i restarted the phone and reboot to android. So as usual, i went to the android folder and trying to boot to android, then i got this error message "The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannt be found. If the proble persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea why this happened all in a sudden. so I've tried many times and restarted my phone to see if it would help, but it didn't. then I thought maybe the android wasn't updated, so I went back to the forum and found the updated version, but mine was discontiuned. I downloaded a new build and I erased everything on my SD card and gave it a try, but the same thing still happen. I still got that error message. would anyone know why? I'm desparated to go back to android.

[Q] quite agrivated

broke my old hd2. insurance sent me a refurbished model. flashed hspl, then nrg sencity nov 24 to get back to my previous setup. running core_droid_evo_0.8. was impressed droid brought evrything back to the way i left it. but.... since then the phone constantly freezes. tried hard reset. 1 out of 10 times it will actually finish booting after pulling battery, then to just freez again. I didnt flash radio 2.12.50. it came with 2.15.50.14, and that sounded newer. didnt think that would make this happen tho. any clue?

i appreciate all the views this thread got but. Ive tried the famous search bar and it never works! always says try back in 30 minutes. I cant sit here staring and digging thru pages of threads to find answers. at least shoot me a link to an appropriate thread please

If its a refurb then I'd return it to stock and tell them they've sent you a faulty handset.
Are you talking about freezing in WM or when your using android??
You could try reflashing after doing a task 29. Might be worth trying a different energy rom just to see if the freezing issues are still there........
If its android freezing, did you restore old backups? try running it without any backups and see if it still freezes.

ya freezes everywhere between splash screen and droid. I cant tell what if anything is causing it to crash. Ive had new phone for 12 hours and have pulled battery at least 100 times.

Personally I'd try and get another replacement.
If you dont wanna go down that route then you should start over from scratch (task 29, stock WM), leaving some time between the different stages of setting up your device to try and see when the freezing starts to happen.

are you running android off the sdcard?

See here for returning to stock (Section 8)
Task 29 is here..
You can get the stock roms from the 6.5 ROM development section.
If you have a Tmous model then be sure to grab the right one.
Android SD card builds are sometimes a real pain in the ass for no obvious reason.
Just because one worked on your previous setup doesnt mean its guaranteed to run smoothly this time round. If you restored a backup with titanium or something similar then try running the build again from scratch without restoring and she how she handles...

i renamed and copied LEOIMG.nbh to sd card. powered on to bootloader and nothing... no instructions just color bands

if you're using a 16gb sd card this won't work, I'd flash thru RUU or use a smaller SD card.
Also on your Android ROM make sure you're not copying it via MAGLDR because it corrupts data transfer

booting energy21916sencity nov 24. then core_droid_evo_v0.8_desire.
I dont think it has anything to do with the droid version. It mostly freezes on energy splash screen.

yes 16gb card is that problem. so do I flash stock rom , radio, spl all separate?

If you flash a stock ROM from the sd card then it wil overwrite SPL/Radio/ROM all in one go.
Try using a 2gb card.
If you dont have one you can always flash via USB.

flash task29 via RUU, then flash custom ROM via RUU, then radio 2.15.50 via RUU, then load the Android ROM via USB mode in WinMo or card reader, then try things out.
edit: flashing task29 takes away the need to flash stock, flashing stock then custom is pointless and actually worse than going task29 to custom, HSPL3 is probably not the problem here.

this is so frustrating!!! I've done everything to a T to get this phone back to stock and still wont boot. now stuck on "stick together" splash

lol,
make sure it's the right stock, don't brick your **** flashing the wrong stock.
put it in bootloader manually by turning off the phone, then hold vol-down when you turn it on, while in bootloader hook it up to USB to PC, then run the RUU and reflash.
Personally I strongly suggest going task29 then custom, unless you want to return it to the store, just go stock.

i did the task 29 then flashed stock tmo 3.14.531 and spl and the radio 2.15.50.14 that was on it yesterday when i got it. it loaded once to stock initial setup and homescreen then froze again. this has to be a hardware issue. fuk a refurb

at least on boot screen it appears stock. requesting new phone

rebooting

I have installed android rom on my sd card and it worked fine, I switched the phone off and then on again and it just keeps booting in a loop is there anyway to break in to this.
any help is needed.
regards

Have a good look at you battery oins that make contact with the battery and see if they are all aligned properly if not very carefully adjust the one that is not in line with the others. I really think your issue has nothing to do eith the SD Android you used as SD Android is very safe as far as not effecting the regular Windows Mobile OS cause it is on SD and does not touch the NAND memory wich is where the Win MO OS or what every primary OS resides.

thats exactly what happened to me whenever i tried to run android off an sd card.(which is why i didn't get a working android rom for months until nand came along)
On the few occasions I managed to get one to boot, i ended up having to hard reset winmo to escape from boot loop, which is probably what you will end up doing.

I have checked that and it appears ok but it still reboots if there is a problem would it help if I installed an official rom update from htc.
It wont even boot with the sd card out and soft reset doesnt help
thanks for the help

Yes install the updat as Android builds really have to have a 3.14 Windows Mobile ROM to work well. It will also improve your expeince with Win Mo as the 3.14 ROMs run considerably smoother.

do you have it done through clockwork? I had the same issue and I had to wipe data and cache, then it worked fine. You lose all your apps and have to reinstall them but it works. this worked for me if someone has a better method feel free to chime in.

I think the OP is using a SD card Android build and not a NAND Android ROM.

[Q] Mobile Network Unavailable After Installing Gingerbread

Last night I installed Gingerbread 2.3.1 on my HTC HD2.. Followed the directions exactly and was able to boot Android and customize and had no problems. Tonight, suddenly my buttons at the bottom (home button, start menu, back, etc) started flashing -- side note: if anyone knows why this happens and how that can be stopped please let me know!! --, I figured I would just restart my phone. Well, when I restarted, suddenly I had no service when I booted Android.
I have rebooted my phone in the different methods (reboot, recovery, and bootloader), tried powering it off and then turning it back on, tried putting it on airplane mode (dunno why) and then back off, took out the battery and sim and waited for 20 min and then put it back in... Nothing has had any luck.
When I boot Windows Mobile, I have a phone signal, but for some reason when I'm booting Android, it isn't there.
Anyone else have a similar problem or can suggest how to fix this? I really want to be able to continue using Android but that's not going to happen if it continues to have this problem...

Flash official windows again, then try NAND Gingerbread 2.3.4 Its great ROM and all works.

try a different rom, the flashing buttons was common on early builds of gingerbread
i take it you are using an sd version rather than nand ?

Try switching to 2G only and see if your signal is back.

Yes, I'm using SD version... To be honest, I didn't really know the difference, but from what I was told NAND basically erases Windows, right? If that's correct, I was afraid of the installation not going right and being stuck without a working phone.

I tried going to my settings to switch to 2G, but at first it was greyed out, so I couldn't even select it. Then I clicked Access Point Networks and went back and suddenly it was available to be clicked. I clicked it and went to another screen and for some reason decided to go back to check it and it had been unclicked and greyed out again....

Seems it's a problem related to your rom and not a hardware problem because it works on wm.
Im not familiar with SD roms, maybe you should try a different SD rom or a NAND rom and see if the problem is solved.
Hope u get it sorted !

Since it seems I just need to try a different rom, can anyone suggest a link? I think I want to try SD again just because if I'm having these problems I don't want to completely wipe Windows and not have something to resort back to if I run into something again..

Honestly I don't want to NAND it because I don't want to completely wipe Windows in case I have a problem again... (this is all assuming I understand NAND correctly)... Right now I have a problem so I was able to go back to Windows Mobile. Do you have any suggestions for another SD rom?

Not quite true. You can always go back to Winmo from Android Nand if you are unhappy with it. I used to think the same way but since taking the plunge I've always found it easy to reinstall Winmo in order to use my tomtom navigator
ROM wise there are various fantastic offerings with Android Nand. Some are even spotting the new sense 3. You can try either CoreDroid or LeoRC Mix.
For now head over to the Nand section and read the stickies at the top. There are ample and easy guides on how to prepare your HD2 for a Nand Rom and how you can return to Winmo if you don't like it. If you follow the instructions properly, trust me nothing will go wrong.
