so, ive definitely learned my lesson about buying things off of craigslist..however, it was the ONLY way i could afford this phone, and ive been DYING for this phone. ANYWHO, it was "Bricked" when i bought it, but was guaranteed it was fixable, guy says hes been selling these for the past few months, and hes never had a problem. i dont want to fix it myself, but just want to know if it IS fixable. i dont know what was flashed on here, wont turn on, no charge signal. all i get is when i plug it into the pc, im told i need to download the qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM, then im told it cant be located. should i have hope since ATLEAST the pc recognizes something is connected or was i just bamboozled? oh...it also wont recognize as connected in the windows mobile device center or activesync.
thanks for any info or help you can provide!
it REALLY is appreciated.

Can you boot into bootloader. If so, just HSPL, run a Task 29 and flash a ROM.

and no charge light, nothing, right?
Its a ..51.. version radio vs tmous phone. Its dead. The only way to repair it is with a JTAG device. Hunt around for specialist phone repair shops, theyre the few places likely to have one, or if you're handy with taking appart, you can buy jtag boxes for around 150 dollars or so, plus another 15/20 for the cradle to hold the mainboard, which will let you re write the bootloader (or some such voodoo). google "ort jtag" or "riff jtag".
I dont know any specifics about it, theres a thread somewhere in this tmous section where a guy talks about it, he seems to know what hes doing.
yeah, no bootloader, no light, nothing!
I gave it to my dad to look at...he said its dead, he's going to send it back to HTC, hopefully they replace it..im so depressed, I've been wanting this phone FOREVER!!
has anyone dealt with HTC? how long does a repair take? cost?
loads of people have successfully claimed on warranty, just be sure not to mention flashing and all will be well.
"it was like that when i woke up"
My HD2 with Clean Desire bricked through normal usage (calling, txt, 3G, etc...) a while ago. I looked far and wide throughout the internet in hopes of finding an answer. Apparently, my phone short-circuited, resulting in it turning into a sexy-looking brick. The solution was to re-short-circuit it and it will turn on like magic. Problem is, I don't know HOW to short-circuit ANYTHING. Could someone give me some advice?

I don't know where or who told you that you had to short circuit your HD2 to unbrick it bit that will not unbrick a HD2. I do know what you are talking about as I just had to look it up today as someone asked me a question about a Samsung Vibrant. With some Samsung devices you can use what is call a test JIG and plug it into the USB of the device and force it to boot into recovery/download mode and then you can flash a ROM back to it via ODIN. This is a fairly new technology for mobile devices.
But HTC phone can not do this you still have to do it the old fashion way and use a JTAG, Riffbox, and a adaptor to unbrick the device. This requires taking the main board completely out of the device to hook the JTAG to it. You then connect the JTAG to the Riffbox and the Riffbox to your computer then you resorrectcthe SPL and put the device back together.
Sorry but this is the only way to bring a bricked HD2 back from the beyond

lolololololololol....
You'll never believe this...
I tried doing everything (except short-circuiting) and almost gave up. My parents came over my house yesterday and my dad had a look at it. He then literally bent the phone (not to the point where it damaged or reshaped anything) and...
...IT TURNED ON!!!
Once again, I wouldn't blame you guys for not believing me, but it worked. So if your HD2 is damaged to the point where there's nothing else you can do, just try bending it
(Actually, don't try this. I'm not held liable if your paperweight snaps in half.)

Hello,
I am new on this forum (speaking of posting) i've been reading alot on this forum.
unfortunately, not enough..
Yesterday i got a htc hd2 from my dad because he couldn't work with it.
the only problem was that if he was calling the other person heard him like being in a bathroom or so,
I tought maybe it was because of the software ( i have put android on it about 2-3 month's ago maybe a bad version)
So i decided to put another version on it..
Well everything worked fine for me , set everything up but internet wouldn't open,
So i decided to reboot the phone, but that's where it went wrong, the whole phone died , not responding on powerbutton or anything else,
So as far as i know it's bricked.
the only wat to unbrick it (i know) is by using a jtag riff box, i don't know anyone in my country (the netherlands) who have it.
Now i don't know what to do.
sell the phone as broken for parts like display etc.
of shall i buy a box myself (107 euro without connector)
What are the points of concidering besides of the money,
is it enough to buy the box + connector and then download the software, or do i need to buy licenses too?
if not it's very attracting, an maybe i can even help other people who have bricked his/hers phone
If anybody have a trustable site for me to buy one in europe also please let me know.

Hi,
Can you get into bootloader?
Power on and hold volume button down.
Can you get into tri-color screen?

No, unfortunatly even that is not working,
The whole phone is not responding on anything.
i can push my powerbutton, but even no light goes on , and nothing appears on the display.
That's why i guess it's bricked (also because i am using a t-mobile sim even it is a HD2 which is sold by a hi (kpn nl) provider)
Nobody has an idea what's best to do? or does know someone in the netherlands with a box?
It would be easier to help you if you would have said what you've done to the phone.
I find it very hard to brick this phone if HSPL was on it, as there is nothing the Malgdr or CWM can do to ruin it (to my knowledge).
Try these two things:
1) Is the battery charged - sometimes that might be the problem
2) Connect the phone to your PC, and see if it recognizes it.
Let us know how it went.

Sorry, don't have a box.
But, Check the battery pins, commonly, one of these are bent, and that's why it won't boot-up.
Does it use Magldr? or cLK? (Eg, when you booted, did you see a black screen with white text, and gogogo as the last line?(magldr) or did it just boot as android(cLK).
If cLK, put your phone in charger and see if the red light turns on.
Hope this helps a bit,

I had mine jtag here in teh US I am not sure the cost involved but he can fix it for you if you care to have it shipped here. The person that did it is a member of xda and gave me fantastic service I can send you his website if that interests you. Just PM me if you wish.
Good Luck
Riff?
Never heard of one. Will a repair shop not have one?
Check the battery compartment and see if any pins connecting the battery to the phone are bent in a wrong direction. If so, correct this, put battery back in, connect phone to charger / USB and try turning it on.
Okay, back since a while.
Last week i found my HD2 again, (still not working.. )
So i thought about going to fix it.
I found out it isn't the battery though.. i tried another one in my phone, still dead,
My battery in another phone.. and that works.
So now i want to buy an riff box for sure, i fond some at the internet but i don't know if i can trust those sites...
First one is : http://gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/riff_box_jtag.php
Second one is: http://www.multi-com.pl/
third one is:http://www.ipmart.com/main/
Has anyone of yours some experience with one of these three shops?
1st one would be my first choice because they have all i want to order,
2nd one is the most expensive,
3th, miss something i want, but i can make it on by my own.
So can you please help me figure this out?
Best recommendation from me and your hd2, if you want to learn, is http://www.segger.com/j-link-edu.html (it no need credits, +++ another $, it's tootaly open for all you want with your phone) + great revskills software !!! I am happy user with all that!!! It's not automated process like in riff box but after working with it it's very great and easy!

I see a lot of solutions, but nobody seems to have told you to boot up your phone using volume down, which gets you directly into the bootloader, from where you can flash the Winmo 6.5 ROM.
Did you try that?
Otherwise there are numerous ways of trashing it i guess... mess around with electrical wiring and make sure the mainboard has a power spike or something... then you're sure nobody will be able to do something with it
Of course I tried it. The problem is that for some reason I can't get into bootloader, and I tried to do that 100 times with all different methods with no luck. I only can get into MAGLDR. I wrote all this in my first message in that threat
Well, from what i can understand after looking at your original post, you cannot enter the tri-color bootloader? Well, have you tried a hard reset? And, when you mentioned liquid entered your phone, you should also check the water indicator stickers on your phone and battery to see if they are pick or red. Else, they will not bother replacing or repairing it. Have you also tried resetting Android from MAGLDR? Back to your request, if you cannot enter the bootloader and unable to flash anything, the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void. The best way to physically damage your phone might be to short circuit it. Alternatively, if you just do not want them to know that you have flashed MAGLDR, you should damage the ribbon cable for the LCD. You have to unscrew the phone for this,but do gently remove the warranty and water indicator stickers before this. Please do explore all avenues like a hard reset and Android reset
i just got off the phone with htc and thay still fix the phone even if it has android on it thay will just replace the main bord because thay dont know how to fix it. but i have bricked my phone alredy and it wont turn on at all due to flashing a wrong rom on it that was ment for a diffrent country my phone is htc hd2 tmoble us. anyway you may just want to fix it your self and use the riff jtag box

Yes, I cannot enter bootloader and yes I tried hard reset (with volume up and down keys) with no luck. I checked my indicator stickers and they all look fine (white). The liquid damage was not a water damage I get a little bit of oily liquid on my phone but just a little, so very little of it could get inside my phone if any, but after that my phone just frozen on android screen and when I tried to reset it, it’s always freezes on android boot screen. And yes I tried resetting Android from MAGLDR, I even tried to install different android soft but after installation it still freezes on android boot screen.
Code:
the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void
Can you explain more about his one? And how I can do that?
I don't really want to unscrew anything because if I going to do something wrong I would void my insurance and they not going to change it at all. I was thinking maybe just drop it in a big cup of water and hold it for like 30sec - 1min. I think my insurance will cover water damage and I think whey not even going to bother to fix it. What do you think?

Are you sure we're talking "rooting" here?
From the symptoms it sounds more like you attempted a boot loader unlock on a device that's past 11W29 and hard bricked it...
Q: If you connect the phone to the charger, does it show the battery symbol with the "flash" above it? Does the green LED light up?
If yes: Battery almost empty. Charge it up.
If no: No way we're talking "I rooted my phone" here - in that case you attempted a boot loader unlock that went wrong.

Since you already searched for a repair possibility I think the talk about "I rooted my phone and suddenly it won't turn on anymore" is off the table and should be taken as "I unlocked my boot loader without checking the forums and hard bricked it now".
Anyhow, I don't think you'll have much luck asking for someone having a RIFFBox around here in the X8 area - the average age of the guys in here is 16-18 at best.
If you think you're better off trying to find someone who could take a stab at trying to resurrect the phone I'd rather put a post into a fitting sub board at the "General discussion" section.
The best option would be to send it off to SE, given you should still have warranty (though no one can guarantee that they will repair it for free).
the problem is that this is the new phone !
Send if off to SE for repair and "play dumb".
Like: "It suddenly doesn't work anymore."
IF it's a hard brick due to boot loader unlocking the chances are pretty slim they will notice what you did.
If it's some sudden hardware problem (and you didn't mess around with the boot loader) - same recommendation - send it to SE for repair.
Of course you could also try to handle the repair through the shop where you bought the phone in case you have no means to send it directly to SE.

Exactly pauk1998, chill. I mean tge phone's dead right ? How are they to proove you tried to unlock bl ? As far as i know, all evidence was destroyed with the hard brick. If its still very new, like less than a month, i think SE wont bother repairing it and just give you a new one
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
i take the phone in saturday and it was destroyed in two ****ing hours (sorry for my words :/ )
i will send back tu the store and i will see what they will tell me . Their is no way to find out that is my mistake right?

Of course there is.
Depending on where you bought it, they'll plug it into a computer and see that you tried to mod the phone, at which point they'll say that your warranty is void.
Unless you bought it from a store full of idiots. Then they might just take it back, no questions asked.
