I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2
actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide
I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.
im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der
Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.
yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous
Hi everyone,
Without any mods the phone randomly turned off while writing an email. When I tried to turn it back on I noticed the red text on the white "HTC" screen was gone, it would then reboot and do the same thing over and over again.
I've tried the "restore" with the two dot buttons but it did nothing, The boot loader screen only shows"
"TITA100
SPL-1.01.0000
USB/Serial (depending on if the USB is connected)"
I didn't have time to unlock it so I can't get it past "loading..." when I try to load any ROM. Telus has replaced the phone but I'd like to get something on it, original modified or Linux. I'm also a complete n00b with this so PLEASE help!
I forgot to add, I don't care if it connects to a carrier, only wifi since I'll only be using it around the house. Thanks
PROGRESS!
Alright, I pulled the latest Telus ROM from the executable download on HTCs site as explained somewhere on the forum.
the bootloader shows
TITA100
SPL-2.07.0000
CPLD-9
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in the red area and
"USB" or "serial" in the white.
Does that help any?
Can someone let me know what is suppose to be on this screen so I can try to figure out where it's getting stuck?
Got it!
I just had to switch back and forth between the two .nbh files in the Telus download on HTC's site. Only issue is wireless isn't working but I'm sure that wont be as hard.
Thanks everyone
ok since i got this phone i have had problems,but i updated it to 6.1 and it got better (locking up all the time)then i played with a bunch of custom roms,then the other day it just decided not to turn on at all,before it would just lock up at the htc screen,now when i turn it on the green light is on and nothing happnes?? i force it in the loader screen and have tryed getting it to take a rom that way and it just gets stuck and says loading but dosnt do anything? the update utilitly does not work either it keeps saying image is currupt?
Welcome to forums
Have a deep read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Hope it helped and good luck,
What version bootloader do you have? What image are you trying to load in bootloader.
i have opilo_240. i cant load any image nothing will take,no roms no radio no nothing
Are you sure you are naming it correctly and on a 2GB or less FAT32 sd card.
i have tryed it a million times, yes i have been typing it right.it recognizes it and starts to load it but then locks up. is there a way i can get this loader off the phone and take it back to original? maybe the loader is crap so if i try and put a original loader back in it will take a install again but i cant find any thing
Not possible that I know of to change bootloader without softspl which needs WM to run.
Where are you getting these images? What is your provider. Please update this in your profile so we can help easier.
my provider is metro pcs but its a sprint phone,i have tryed the sprint/htc 6.1 update then i tryed a couple of ryan mogul 6.5 roms.see since i got this phone (used) it had problems loading from the htc screen,sometimes i would have to soft reset about 5 times before it would load the o/s then sometimes it would go days without a problem,it did this with the stock image then got better with the 6.1 and thought it was good then i played with a couple roms and they all loaded ok but the phone was getting worse when locking up it would do it all the time,then i went back to the 6.1 sprint rom and it didnt get better just worse,then it wouldnt get past the htc screen,so i tryed again to put back to stock and now when i turned the phone on it vibrates then just the green light turns on,when i try and hard reset it just instantly says complete,i can boat to loader and connect to pc fine but when i try and load a image from cpu it goes to 1% then stops and says image file is corrupt, is my phone junk? i have a brand new touch pro coming today but i would like to get this mogul up and running its just a shame cause i loved this phone when it worked,im ready to throw it in the garbage
Get the .nbh from the following sprint .exe and try it on the sd card. If you can get into bootloader your phone shouldnt be a brick. Mtty might be an option but that isnt something I can teach you how to do very well.

Hey guys I have a hd2 that wont boot up anymore. I have installed several windows 6.5 cooked roms into this device for a while now. Recently this device has been given me a lot of problems until finally it took a dump. Now everytime i power up the device it stays in the splash screen. It doesnt even show radio version, rom version,etc on the bottom left of the screen. So is this hd2 dead or is there some way that i can fix it. I even tried installing tmobile's official rom on this device by going into the "rainbow screen" so that the device can be seen by using the usb cable, but alas....it didnt work either. So any help would be appreciated .
If it doesn't install, and nothing installs, then you need to take it to repair I guess.
I had a feeling about that. I just figured there was no way to fix it and the fact that i couldnt send it back to tmobile to get a replacement was out of the question since the firmware was modified. But your saying there are shops that fix these kinds of issues? If so, I better start looking around over here.

why dont you try sd card method for flashing your rom !1! you can pm me if you need further help
Do you mean that it can't get to the boot loader screen (rainbow) or that trying to install a ROM from there didn't work? You might want to flash the original HSPL too, just to check.
What I mean is that everytime I boot up the hd2 it stays stuck on the splash screen. It doesn't even show the rom information in red at the bottom left corner of the screen. But I can boot to the tri color menu though. I have tried to install the tmous official rom by plugging the USB when I'm in the tri color menu and it always stays stuck at 9%. So is there way to fix this or am I screwed.
Sent from my Android Powered HD2 using XDA App
Try the sd-card recovery instead of the USB one.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
After that, even if it fails, it shows only SPL in the tri-color screen then you are set to claim warranty.

Well my bro... i think thats nand problems or heating issues ... does flashing rom goes all ok or it stops during flashing ? if stops than check if you phone is hot - hotter than normal.
Try this : Take out battery, memory card, sim card and put you phone in the fridge for about 5-10 min ( dont worry tried many times... no harm ) meanwhile prepare your sd card to flash rom with sd card method ... to do that extract Ruu rom - stock one - download with hd2 serial nr ( winrar, 7zip etc) find Ruu_Signed.nbh rename it to LEOIMG.nbh than copy to sd card ( format you sd card fat32 and make sure it works ... 2gb will work ) take phone out from fridge put sd card & battery into phone power one phone while holding volume down key ( go into tricolor screen - bootloader) and follow procedure in phone... i hope everything goes well and you fix you phone... but if still no success than flash android or wp7 ( if you have warranty flash stock SPL and return phone).
best regards from me
Hi all,
yesterday a friend of mine gave me his HD2 for repair, he bought it from eBay with a ROM failure.
I never tried to fix / flash any HTC, so I read trough a lot of flashing guides and other peoples problems etc.
So I'll tell you whats working / what I tried / what I can do / what I can't do, in the hope someone can make sense out of this and help me
1) The phone has a strange behaviour in terms of the battery. It only turns on if I'm lucky. This means if I pull the battery out and back it and try to power it on, I get a light / weak vibration (and if I'm lucky) it boots into the states mentioned in point 2) and 3). If I'm unlucky on the other hand, it just stays at a black screen, but still gives me this light / weak vibration. Windows recognises the phone in this back-screen-state, but doesn't like it that much, since it wants drivers for a "Qualcomm MSM .... something" device.
The best way to get the phone back to book (in the possible states mentioned in point 2) and 3).) is to let the battery rest fro a little while and plug it back in ... or I spam the phone like quickly plugging the battery out and in and prey that it somehow boots.
2) The "booting" I was talking about in point 1) doesn't mean it boots into any OS. I attached a picture which shows the state of the phone when I try to boot it normally via the power button. It just freezes there at this pink circle and does nothing. If I'm not wrong it should show the radio version etc. in red in the bottom left corner, but we'll get to that
Things I can do:
3) I can get into bootloader mode.
4) I can flash HSPL 2.08 and 3.03 ... or it's stock versions however I like.
5) I can execute "task29.exe" which finishes its job successfully.
Things I tried (and noticed):
6) I tried to flash "MAGLDR" which also finishes successfully (according to the install tool at least), but does nothing on the phone, same screen as in the attachment.
7) I tried to flash the latest radio ROM (v.2.15.50.14 afaik) via "CustomRUU.exe", which get stuck on 96%. "CustomRUU.exe" later on tells me that the communication betweeen the host and phone failed.
8) The phone doesn't seem to be branded, yet I tried to flash both T-Mobile and unbraded roms and 2 different versions:
Code:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
ruu_leo_s_tmo_de_3.14.111.1_radio_15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14_leo_s_ship.exe
If I flash those with HSPL and the installer it came with it stays at 0% forever.
If I flash them without HSPL and the installer they came with they get stuck at different point somewhere between 8% and 10% and if I wait for 10 seconds, the progress bar turns red and a "!" appears at the end of the progress bar, the installer later on tells me, that this version is not for my phone or something.
If I flash them with HSPL and "CustomRUU.exe" the progress bar also get stuck at the above mentioned %-marks, but the progress bar stays green and does nothing for 10 minutes, after that the "CustomRUU.exe" tells me that the communication with the phone failed.
Some things I noticed:
9) While I was spamming the phone with battery I once got to a point where the charging LED light up for the first time in this whole process I went trough with this phone.
10) After point 9) I plugged the battery out and back in and powered it on via the power button. I got to the screen I attached below, but it didn't got stuck there, the screen just faded to black and the phone shut itself off. I managed to do this 2 times in a row, after the third try it froze again and I was back there where I was before (points 1-8 ).
This is it As you can see I tried a lot of stuff, yet I think I've overseen something and I hope you can help me there or got some other ideas apart from the JTAG'ing method, which shouldn't be an option for now, as getting into the bootloader mode is worth gold afaik, so we should be able to do something via this mode right?
Best regards,
SE_iCEQB
BTW: I can also get into the hard reset mode, but of course this gains nothing on this phone
EDIT1: Another thing I noticed, is that in the bootloader mode it says "SS-BC" in the top line, where on every other picture I saw of this phone in its bootlaoder mode, it says "HX-BC" or something, dunno if this is important.
The phone came with a german packaging, so I only tried the "DE" roms mentioned in point 8).
While I was searching for roms, some people said that I can check the S/N of this phone on the HTC website which I couldn't find ... is it gone or am I blind already?
SS and HX in the bootloader screen just means Samsung or Hynix, , two chip providers HTC uses. They do the same thing, and you can forget about that for now, you have much bigger issues than one chipset being slightly better than the other.
The pink on black screen is a splashscreen, anyone recognise it? winmo? android?
The HTC website started dropping support pages for the HD2 a month or two ago, , looks like its ancient history as far as HTC are concerned.
Qualcomm MSM,,, this is a bad sign, , it is what the bare chipset presents itself to the usb connection as when there is no controlling bootloader. (This is what tmous users get when they radio brick their phones). Quite an odd symptom to see in a phone that powers on.
From the various power / boot symptoms, it sounds likely that one or more of the following are true
1 - the battery may be low on charge, and if magldr is installed the battery wont charge until android is running (which of course it cant) so you NEED to get magldr off ASAP (if in fact it flashed)
2 - the radio may be corrupted, which usually manifests itself as flashes failing at 8 - 10%, or radio flashes never completing.
3 - The phone may be one of the unlucky ones that has/is cooked/cooking itself. have a read on the 'freezer trick' where you cool the phone down for a while in a bag in the freezer, then quickly flash from sd as soon as you take it out, so the chips don't overheat before its done. If this turns out to work, then the phone has hardware issues.
4 - The bootloader itself may be corrupt, but only slightly (just theorising now) or the NAND memory where the bootloader is stored could be starting to degrade.
Recommended way forward.
Assuming you have access to a card reader,,,
send me your IMEI and an email address, and ill generate you a Goldcard.img,
follow THIS to make teh goldcard and place on that goldcard the RUU_Signed.nbh (renamed to leoimg.nbh) extracted from, , lets go for the WWE 3.14 rom from HERE (Lotta junk in that folder, scroll way down towards the bottom, look for filename as below)
id go for
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.zip
down towards the bottom.
(Thats assuming you want english? theres probably a DE one if you prefer)
SO, id try flash that from the goldcard, and report back.
(Note i'll be on and off all day, so don't expect an immediate response to your IMEI, cheers, oh and the .img when i send it will most likely get spam foldered, so dont miss it!)
I created a goldcard myself and tried the image inside "RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.zip".
While flashing it showed me "RSA Fail" on "Radio_v2".
Any ideas? I'll try other ROMs till someone answers
Thanks,
iCEQB
EDIT1:
Trying "GER" Roms:
1 test) HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe - "RSA-Fail" on "Radio_v2"
Ahh radio fail, bad news. I've seen it cured once or twice, by flashing the phones original rom, but I suspect those were exceptions.
I've also seen failed flashes take when you well chill in the freezer (card sim and battery out while it chills) and quickly flash on removal.
Also, just confirm you made a hd2 winmo goldcard, the free goldcard page at revskills is for wp7 and android phones.

Yeah I used the wp7 config. Is it bad? I mean, the goldcard works right?
test 2) RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe - "RSA-Fail" on "Radio_v2"
I'm out of ideas guys ... will wait for you to create me a winmo goldcard image and try them again.
Last resort is the freezer trick. Or any other ideas on how to progress from here?
Regards,
iCEQB
EDIT: BTW, does HSPL need to be deinstalled for these goldcard actions?
Ohhh hang on, that img i sent wont work, silly me, its not the imei I need, its the Cid (unique serial, uid, goes by a few names) of the SD card. See the howto I linked ya for how to find it.(really easy if you have access to any other winmo phone, not so easy otherwise.)
Just shows how long its been since I thought about goldcards.
Sorry.
Which branded phone is this?
Brother even I have same type of logo when phone starts (pink colour circle)
Even my phone is bricked but I can install wp7 or android (only no network problem)
Can u guide me how did u solve this issue pls
Thanks & Regards
