ok sounds good bra jus help me out now, how exactly do i do that? and is it going to delete anything? what must i do to be on the safe side and is it safe? thanks so much for the help i really appreciate it, you should link me up if your taking a trip to jamaica anytime
Yes it's safe, why would he reccomened it if it wasn't. Flash it like any other rom update. Don't pull the battery and make sure it has a good charge and it will be fine. You can check the about phone box in settings to see what radio you have. If you don't know, you most likely have the old radio.

please bare with me im new to the droid and i bought one for 300us last month and i was robbed by gunpoint the day after, so i didnt use it much, i live in jamaica crime infested country go figure, i just bought another one last week and i got it modded he said it was used but i really love the phone and i really dont know much thats why i come here for help so please excuse my ignorance, i dont know much about flashing or anything but i was searching the net and i found out a little. i turned the phone off and held the power and home button to go in the updater mode but instead of going to a screen that looks like msdos it shows an icon with a phone and a
yellow triangle ! sign
like the one u see in post icons below when posting a thread
it doesnt move from there without me taking out the battery so i figure its not rooted but if its not rooted i dunno how i got it at firmware 1.6
i already downloaded the latest radio but i just cant get to the updater
where do i go from here?

Dear all
i did flash my us version hd2rom but i didn;t notice that the rom igot is for taiwan. Now my phone can;t turn on can't see anything on the phone can't reset. It's totally die now.
Is any one know how to fix it? I just got the phone xd
oh i shouldn;t do this. Really need help now
Not to be rude but you really should have used the search function. Sorry but if you flashed the wrong ROM your bricked. It's just a $550 paper-weight. Send it back to T-mobile and play innocent. Again, really sorry because at this point in time there is nothing at all you can do.
~Jasecloud4
We would need more details as to the steps you've taken to get to the point where you are.
Did you flash the appropriate TMOU HSPL prior to installing the ROM - and where did you get the ROM from? What happens when you try to charge it via USB?
As the other poster said, you shouldve done some homework before potentially effing up your device.
hi guys, I just got a same problem. After I flash a rom from HK my phone just totally die. Can't turn on, can't reset, can't charge. And my pc can't recognized my phone... (I did flash the appropriate TMOU HSPL )
your phone is Dead Learn to read on how to flash before you go blindely into doing it
New users really should wait a week or two before flashing their new phones so as to get familiar with the process.
Thank said, I hope you are able to get it fixed. Stay calm, read posts where others did the same thing and see if you are able to repair it. Do Not rush things.
return the phones and play innocent indeed. next time take time to read stickies and warnings from rom cooks :/
ha i dont own an hd2 im just reading up on them (in case i own one...android ftw though) but this guy sure sounds like a BRICK.
I have unlocked bricked phone with wrong rom.
There is one thing you can try.
Take the sim card out.
take the mem stick out.
Remove the battery for at least 30 minutes.
start phone with volume down pushed in.
if it doesn't power on try waiting an hour or two.
conect to pc and run task 29.
Then flash with corect rom and radio
Damn really sucks bro.. But this is why we must always double check that the Rom is mad for 1024 Hd2(U.S) and not 512... Best bet just tell t-mobile that phone stop working out of nowhere

this really is the best option.. why even fiddle around with it anymore? send it back to TMo and get a brand new one.. Either act innocent or mad... mad always gets free stuff... extra battery perhaps? another 16gb sd card? who knows... gotta complain to gain...

LOLOLOLOL...
Exact same thing happened to me and I couldn't do ANYTHING with it wouldn't turn on couldn't get it in boot mode and essentially what your going to have to do is.........send it back and play dumb and get another sent out to you!! Other than that you are truly sitting on a good looking paper weight!!
I'm glad someone pointed out that at least it's a nice looking paperweight...lol
I did the same thing on my 1-day old HD2 with the HK Rom.
Went to the local mobile phone repair centre and had a techie guy work on it over 2 hours and still couldn't get anywhere. He was suggesting me replace the Flash Memory however I insisted there must be a way without messing around the hardware.
In the end the techie called his bro (supposedly the original factory) and was advised that there is no bootloader just as yet....I was asked to wait a few weeks and see...
I am in the view that this brick can be unbricked but it just will take some time for people to develop the techniques and have the appropriate hardware/software in stock...
PLEASE DO READ CAREFULLY BE JUMPING INTO THE WATER. Everyone is busy but this is the price - a $580 paper weight!
might have a second luck
why dont u hold the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time. then power on the device and do a hard reset. or just run task29 try to get the phone to get picked up by task29. and re-rom it. just a thought. dont know if it will work.
or third luck
how about you turn off the phone. push the volume down button power it on. and run one of the CleanEx roms while in the boot menu. give it a try it might work. its not like something worse can happen.
(make sure sim and sdcard are out)
1. make sure ur phones off
2. hold the volume button
3. while holding the volume button power on the device
4. just check if u even have ur spl on hspl (optional)
5. download a CleanEX ROM
6. run CustomRUU.exe
and see if that fixes it. and if that doesn't work just try the same steps but before you get to step 6 run task29 first.

Tried all means already except for Task 29. Will do some research then give it a try.
I'd recommend you to follow advices from senior members. In my case I bricked my 2 day HD2 TMOUS because I follow a sugestion about a ROM from another member of this forum. I asked twice if that ROM was compatible with the TMOUS HD2!!! I installed the correct HSPL version then installed the ROM and bricked my phone. There's no way to fix, take it to a T-MOBILE store and play dumb, make them call customer service and you'll get a new phone in 2-3 days, it worked for me.
okay so i flashed my unbranded HD2 phone many times over with chuckydroid rom and used shubCrafts build on my phone.
now my friend wanted android on his Tmobile HD2 phone also so i flashed his with chuckydroid rom and then with mattC's android with sense. turns out he de didnt like it and wanted to switch back to the stock rom.
now i acidentally flashed an unbranded HD2 stock rom back onto his Tmobile HD2 instead of the stock Tmobile rom and now its bricked. (wasnt thinking because ive done it this way with my phone all the time not even thinking that his was a different model)
light doesnt turn on when charged. cant even get into bootloader. phone doesnt work. i DID FLASH HSPL3 before it got bricked so iono if that helps any if any at all...
i feel really bad right now. can someone please help?
im sorry to say i think the phone is bricked for good...that's if the international ROM you flashed included a radio....it most probably was a .51 radio that is not compatible with t-mobile us hd2....

I don't have a suggestion to unbrick the phone, but I do for a reasonable price on a replacement. I bought my T-Mo branded HD2 a few months ago for $225 off Craigslist. I just checked locally (Portland) and there's three listed today at or under $250.....and sorry for your friends loss.

i cant flash another rom because his device wont even turn on. its dead as a rock. can i return this for warranty? i flashed HSPL3 before flashing it back to the original (but wrong) rom.
is the HSPL3 still in the device meaning i cant return it? or like first poster said, the new radio is now on the device? meaning im still able to return it?
Well if it won't turn on then they won't be able to see its unlocked.. as for a solution did u try manual bootload (volume up + down and press power and keep holding volume up and down) that should get u into bootload if it doesn't then its a different issue.

You could try to flash the official tmou rom via SDCard. Just use a card reader, place the rom at the root of the card, put the card back in phone, hold volume key down + power and you *might* be able to get back to bootloader.
The issue here is that if you flashed official (non tmou) rom from the sdcard when you bricked it, it might have removed the HSPL. From what I can recall, official roms flashed from sdcard will wipe hspl.
It's worth giving it a shot. In any case, I just received an EDM from microsoft through my hotmail acct where they are doing a buy 1 get 1 free for the HD2. Might want to check it out. I'm tempted to take them up on it and have 3 HD2's.

you said it doesnt even charge... check the battery if is properly installed that happened to me once and got scared. just double check.
INSURANCE
If he has insurance on the phone just call tmobile say that the hd2 wont turn on anymore! You have no clue how it happened ! They will send a replacement! Then he has to send his phone back within a week of receiving the new one! It does have a one year warrenty but if u have to send the phone in to htc they will probably know u bricked it and void the warranty! Tmobile is really cool about warranty's so try to get one from them even if its refurbished and then leave it stock!!
The ROM probably had a .51 radio like the last post said.
When you flash a .51 on a TMOUS HD2 you lose. Game over.
well my phone was stuck ina bootloop kinda thing... if i conected it to a charger it wud turn on and keep restarting on me, if i removed batery while still plugged in it wudnt respond nor charge... i fixed it by leaving it like that for a few minites then i un pluged and held down volume roker as i pluged in to acces bootloader and flashed a diff rom
hmm this sucks try what the others said with the volume keys and report back. This makes me think it would be cool if the developers created a pandora battery like service battery and memory stick for the hd2 as how people brought back bricked psps to life with those methods, would be so awesome then we wouldn't have to really worry about stupid crap like this !
yes. im dumb. it was a .51 radio. doesnt turn on. i did it to my own phone so many times and it just became repetitive when i was flashing his phone that i didnt even stop to think that it was a TMobile model. and yes the power button + volume button is not working since MY PHONE (originally his phone since i have to give him my phone now) doesnt have power.
so my best bet right now is to return it to tmobile and not HTC correct?
The only way to unbrick your phone is whit a jtag interface , ( http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/htc-hd2-repair-guide , http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f47...z-jtag-pinouts-htc-topaz-repair-file-1047977/ ) but maybe this kind of tools are illegal in some countries.
Check Copper battery contacts
Hey mate, I had the same issue you did. I took the battery out often during my flashing and once it stopped responding ie. not charging not turning on etc.
I checked where the battery sat and found one of the copper contacts (I think there are 3 spring-like ones) was stuck inwards and therefor not offering or receiving power.
Give that a shot buddy. good luck
Sucks, but at least you swapped phones with him. If the phones under warranty give T-Mobile a call, tell them it wont turn on...but you might want to have your buddy handle it (he is the original owner I hope?) since the phone should be on his account.

Quick side note, I don't necessarily agree that you owe this guy a phone. If you flashed it as a favor, then I think that all risks associated with the flash were his just as if he flashed it himself. There is an implied risk even when flashing the correct ROM/Radio etc, and if he didn't want to take the time to learn how to do it himself, you shouldn't be held 100% liable. If he is a good friend, then it would be a nice gesture to go in with him on a craigslist replacement (I too got mine for $225).
Now if he paid you for the service, then yeah, you owe him a phone.

I did the same thing, phone went into a boot loop, and I thought Id bricked it, copper contact was slightly bent and causing it, make sure the copper contacts are pointing straight up in the battery compartment, it could save ya a warranty return

I completely agree, unless he's a n00b and you didn't explain that there were any potential dangers.
Just as another side note, if I'm doing anything for a friend that involves firmware flashing of any kind whatsoever, just say.
"Look I'm happy to do this, however there is always a risk involved in that your phone might die! It's rare, but are you happy for me to proceed?"
Always gets me out of potentially tricky situations! Stick those caveats in before it's too late
In my opinion you owe him a phone unless you told him about the risk and asked if he was willing to try it.. I would still feel sick to my stomach over him buying a new phone himself.. Another point is that the "risk" didn't damage the phone, your obliviousness did..
It sucks, but I would try to get him a used phone and pay the cost.. and accepted it if he offered to pay parts of it
Hey there,
I'm looking to buy a used HD2, and came across one at a good price on Craigslist. The owner says that the phone has "no operating system installed" and needs a new ROM. I was planning on throwing Android onto the phone anyways, but do not want to buy a bricked phone.
The seller has a picture of the phone screen which I could PM but can't link to since I'm a new user. Basically, the screen is divided into 4 parts: red, green, blue, and white, and there is text on the top, red section. Does anyone know what this might mean?
Thanks.
its the bootloader, means it can be flashed by any rom, but form this tricolor screen you cannot check the phone condition.
It means that you can easily install winmo rom/android/winphone7.
For android, install MAGLDR when the phone is at that state: hold (Red button + Voldown button), and plug into computer.
Then, using cwm, you can install any of the android roms on here.
Make sure u ask the guy if everything else on the phone is in working condition, and the only problem with it is that there's no OS on it.
You guys forgot to mention that this could be a fake HD2 from China.
Can you post a picture of the tri-color screen so it can be verified.
Tbh I wouldn't really trust buying it either way if it doesnt currently have a rom on. It takes minutes to put one on and if the seller hasnt done this for purposes of selling it would make me suspicious, It could have bad hardware or a corrupted nand or anything.
Sold it to someone else, thanks for the help though!
Hey everyone, recently my hd2 touch screen stopped working, I'm not sure why it stopped responding but it will only respond by the physical buttons. The only thing I can do with it is turn it on and put it into sleep and or turn it on to the lock screen. I currently have android on it.
I searched around and found out that alot of people had the same problem as me and the only way to fix it is by sending it to HTC so they can replace the faulty screen. Now I'm going to try that but before I send it in I want to reset the phone back to original settings with WM 6.5 and remove the SPL. The problem is I am not sure how to do it, so can anyone let me know how I can do all that or point me in the right direction?
Appreciate the help
I had the exact same issue. I reset the phone multiple times and tried different roms from stock to modded, android to winMo 6.5 with no success. Your luck might be different, but the only way I was able to get my HD2's screen running properly was to have the digitizer replaced. I know it sucks, but at least you're not the 1st to deal with it.

The right direction would be the search button. Just look for "Remove HSPL", "Uninstall HSPL" and you'll find plenty of results:
