[Q] Weird Tattoo Problem - Click General

I got this tattoo from a friend, and am facing very weird problem with it.
The tattoo will only boot in SPL mode. It seems the to think that the volume down button is always pressed.
I figured this out because of the way it behaves it will always boot in SPL Mode only.
But sometimes the device will boot into normal mode as if nothing was wrong.
Any ideas?

seems like short circuit. Exam the volume button contacts.

I removed the volume button flex from the board, but no change.
Anyone have a Tattoo they can lend me in Mumbai, India? I just wanna compare the mobo's to find out where the short is.

I suggest sending it back to HTC if it's still under warranty.

Nope not under warranty

I was just wondering, is it possible that a bad flash or something caused this?
As soon as I put int he battery it will show HBOOT with
<BACK> Fastboot (Doesnt Work)
<SEND> Simlock
<HOME> Recovery
Pressing Home, shows me the Tattoo logo and vibrates the phone, which then finally comes back to the same screen.
But sometimes on pressing Home, it will boot normally and function well.
Any help will be appreciated.

HTC touch frozen on bootup

all i get is the telus boot screen and thats it. is there anyway to flash the rom onto it? or restart it some how?ive tried to take out the battery and restart it that way and still boot screen.
I think you can do a hard reset by holding the "power button", "end key", and pressing the reset "pinhole" at the same time.

have you tried getting into bootloader by pressing power/camera/reset?
when did this start happening?
The same thing happened to me today... Im frozen at the htc smart mobility boot up screen and nothing works!
if your phone was older and you tried to flash a GPS rom without installing the GPS radio then you would freeze up a the bootscreen
the remedy for that would be to install the 3.42 radio ROM

Anyone have a link where I could find that & install instructions to make sure I don't screw up more?

You are in the wrong section altogether. Go to this part of the site http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
@OP,
First things first, did you unlock the device before flashing? Also, are you sure that you have a Vogue and not an Elf/Elfin?
A quick way to get out of your issues would be to try to flash the phone back to stock. Put the device in bootloader mode and flash a stock rom for your device.

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..

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

Yes, i have used TASK 29 before, and no need for radio in the same folder;

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.

HD 2 dead OR NO DEAD ???!! Help please

So a friend have a problem with a ROM, and i decides to flash rom radio and with an other ROM and when i'm flashing HD2 freezing and lock at 53%, i trying to flash with any others Roms and i have a big problem, hd2 no reboot,, and no reboot in bootloader mode too after :S
i trying the Hard Reset manual and nothing !!
Who can help me ???
Sorry for my bad english!
Friendship Kindly.
if you can't get into bootloader then it is probably dead.
So volume down while pressing the reset key doesn't do anything?
If you plug it into a charger does the red led come on?
What version hd2 is it?
Thank's for your answer so,
i can't make it in bootloader even if i press volum down button and press the end key, he does nothing :s but he return in bootloader mode one time / 50 ...
when he connect to a source i don't see the red led for charging batterie :s
and i don't know what is this model, it's an HD2
And the last time i boot it, it's written Software uptade fail, try again with a /!\
If its a US T-Mobile one (has T-Mobile at the top and green & red buttons at the bottom) then its most likely that the radio he has flashed to it is the wrong one.
If this is the case, then there is no fix.
Otherwise, its best to see if you can send it back for repair

Can't access bootloader android won't start

I cant access bootloader (tri-color screen) i have magldr 1.11 i have flashed three different versions of android ....same result freezes on android logo...and i have tested those builds they do work on my other htc hd2 ....i have alse flashed windows7 but same result comes back to magldr screen......any help would be appreciated
im sure the bootloader is before Magldr in sequence so if that is loading you should be able to load the bootloader. You are holding volume down while turning on aint you? What radio are you using?
Ricey
thank you for your quick reply......yes I am holding volume down it doesn't wanna work i have also tried hard reset and it just goes directly to startup screen....and i know i am not doing anything wrong because i can access bootloader on my other HTC HD2....

[Q] Can't get to Bootloader

Hey Guys. I was hoping someone could help me with my problem.
Currently my HTC HD2 is running cyanogenmod7 using MAGLDR 1.13.
I want to switch back to winmo 6.5 to start fresh and have read tutorials that i need to enter bootloader ( the red, white, green screen thingy) to establish a connection with activesync. But the problem is that i can't actually get into bootloader and i have tried volume down button with the power button combo and it doesn't seem to work.
If someone knows how to get to bootloader then please help.
While the phone is off... do what you did... hold power and volume down buttons...
Yes, i tried that 20 times and it doesn't work

Does the volume down button work on your HD2? Sounds like it does not.
That's the strange part. My volume buttons work perfectly in Android and Magldr. I don't know what's happening
switch off the phone and open it again while you are holding the end call button
you will go the magladr menu , i thik you can find something there to take to the bootloader

No no no no no and NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing in MAGLDR that can make your HD2 go into bootloader. The only this.g that can get you into the bootloader besides the external hardware buttons is the bootloader.exe that can be run from inside Windows Mobile. It can only be run from inside Windows Mobile. MAGLDR is a custom bootloader that runs after the HSPL bootloader and has no way of communicating with the HSPL bootloader.
At the OP, you may have a faulty volume button ribbon that is causing you not to be able to boot into the bootloader. Check out this thread you will see what I mean. Read post #10
Boot loader mode
Bootloader mode is handy for checking the HD2's version of Hard SPL as well as the installed ROM and Radio versions,and also for ROM or Radio flashing to the HD2. I sometimes use the Bootloader method to flash ROMs as it saves connecting to Activesync/WMDC because the PC recognises the HD2 as connected via USB. It is also useful for flashing a ROM or Radio version if the battery charge is less than 50%, as it ignores the 50% charge warning that is normally displayed when flashing if the HD2 is low on charge. Never use this method if you have less than a 30% charge as you will be in deep trouble if the HD2 runs out of power while flashing a ROM or Radio version!
To place the HD2 into Bootloader mode, remove the HD2's back cover hold down the volume down key, now press in the red reset button under the back cover to the bottom left of the SIM, release the soft reset button but continue to hold the volume down key in until you are presented with the tri colour bootloader screen. To exit Soft Reset the device.

Can you get into the windows start- settings - system? If yes, there is an app that says "clear storage memory", which brings you back to the factory settings when you bought it. It's worth a try.
Entering bootloader screen is sometimes difficult: press and hold the volume down button and then press shortly
the power button, this should bring you to this screen. If it does not, remove your battery for at least 10 minutes and try again.
Good luck and regards, Kuzibri
I had the same problem ...
I could not enter the bootmanager in android brief button press to end a call, we moved the menu to shut down, reset, etc, the same menu that appears when you hold down the button longer to stop calling ...
This defect appeared to me after I lay HD2 due to large changes in ambient temperature ...
After a few days of research, opening, drying I removed the defect, so I pulled out and cleaned the keys below the screen (Home, Menu, Back, red and green) and wipe the foil that these pressures are the same buttons ...
My HD2 has been working for 2 weeks with no errors
same here but ...
to get in to bootloader i just discovered a different (strange)way ... from winmo , with back cover off press red reset button and imediately while reseting press volume down ... this is my only way to get in to ... otherwise , all the keys are fully working when in windows mobile .
very strange
all the keys includind the volume down key, works well inside windows, but I just cant go to bootloader.
I will dismante the phone, wash it and dry it, to see if something changes,
I have problem getting into 3 color bootloader also, but its because my voulme down is broken/ doesn't work anymore. Any other ways besides the volume down button?

Hi, I had a similar problem where I could not enter the boot loader. The solution I found that worked for me was provided by: broncogr on another thread discussing a similar issue with the DHD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889567 )
"restart the phone
when the capacitive buttons light is off immediately press and hold volume - button and keep holding until device is in bootloader
cheers " - broncogr
Hope this helps someone.
