HD2 messed up all of a sudden

Hello,
I have been using the ChuckyROM for quite some time now, and I have been very pleased. Today, when I got the phone out of my pocket, I noticed that it was completely shut down (even if it had its battery somewhere around 98% last time I checked). I started it only to see a white screen, nothing at all happening. I removed the back cover, reset the phone via the red small button, but the result was the same white screen. I decided to remove the battery, the SIM card and the SD card and leave it to cool off for 10-15 minutes. 15 minutes later, I picked it up, put everything back together, started it, and only got that annoying white screen.
I left it charging for about 3 hrs (it usually charged up in about 2 hours, tops) and the LED kept staying red, as if it was not fully charged. I disconnected it, and the LED still wouldn't go off. I tried booting it, nothing happened, at all. Soft reset via red button, and the LED went off and the phone went back to that white screen again.
Right now it is connected to my laptop, apparently charging (red LED on), and I really don't know what to do.
My ROM was ChuckyROM with the GTX Sense theme.
I'm using HSPL 1.42.HSPL.
Radio version was 2.08.50.08_2.
I also have to mention that I can get the bootloader showing up, so I might try and revert to a stock ROM, but I preferred to post here first and get some suggestions.
What can I do? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

If I were you, I might just take my chances and install a Stock ROM. See what happens after that...

Yeah, this was my intention to be honest. Do I need to change the HSPL before doing this? And if not, can I change it back to 1.48.0000 after reverting to a stock ROM?

You don't need to revert back to a stock ROM. Just flash another custom ROM!
From what I understand, if you flash a stock ROM via USB, you will still keep HSPL. If you flash a stock ROM via Storage Card, it will take away your HSPL, and you will need to redo HSPL.
If you do go back to a stock ROM, flash using USB so you don't have to redo HSPL.

I see, but I want to revert to a original SPL, because I will most likely take it back to service for other faults as well.
If I download a stock ROM and upload it to the SD card, everything will become stock, right?

Sorry for double-posting, but I just tried installing _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.48.479.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship, downloaded from HTC's site via USB connection while in bootloader, and it said that "the image is corrupt" and the process failed.
What now?

Ah, I see what you're saying.
Yes, flashing a stock ROM from the SD-card will make it all stock.

Try re-downloading the ROM. Or you can find another stock ROM from HTC or HTCPedia.

I`m trying to download RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe.
I have formatted my SD card to FAT32, but what should I try first? Going to bootloader and try to install the ROM mentioned above?

I feel even worse now! I have tried both ways, first using the new ROM via USB in bootloader, it said the same thing, that the image is corrupt. I then extracted ruu_signed.nbh, renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh, copied it to my FAT32 freshly-formatted SD Card, put it in the phone, and it said "Update terminate UPDATE FAIL", sticking at Radio_V2...
What can I do now? Should I try and flash another radio, or...

if that wwepmr is not your phones original stock rom, then it will fail, because it will reset your spl and then try to flash the rom, but of course it will check the region and vendor id and get a missmatch.
i would do it like this.....(no need for sd card flashing at all, that's old news)
run hspl2, make sure you have hspl installed, run the wwe file in your last post over usb, when its flashed, rerun hspl2 and choose 1.42.0000 and you're ready to send it back.

thanks for your reply, samsamuel!
unfortunately, running hspl2 seems to do nothing. I have 1.42.HSPL already installed, and I tried choosing 1.42.0000, it says it's succesfull, but my bootloader still displays 1.42.HSPL.
When trying to run the WWE, it gets stuck at 0% for 10-15 minutes, then says that the connectivity is poor.

that sounds like a usb timeout problem.
Boot to bootloader manually, and when 'serial' turns to 'usb' on screen, then run hspl2. Keep trying this with all your different USB ports. (USB ports around back of the PC generally work better than ports in the front.)

Just tried both the WWE and task29 through all of my laptop's ports, and I get the same result: it won't go over 0% whatever I do.
I don't understand... each of the USB ports on my laptop recognized my HD2 and successfully installed the driver in less than 10 seconds after connecting it... What could be wrong?
Honestly, I was thinking of putting it in the microwave oven for 3 or 4 seconds, just enough so the CPU gets fried, then get it to a service center and complain about how it stopped working all of a sudden...

you did try simply removing the sim & sd card and battery, reinstalling the battery, holding both volume up & down simultaneously and depressing and holding the phone disconnect button to do a hard reset, right? I just didn't see that in previous posts and figured that should be near the beginning.

I need your help please! Bricked hd2???

OK, I received a T-Mobile hd2 that was and still is stuck on "stick together " screen. I tried the reset button on the back, taking out the battery, checked for bents battery pins, and I downloaded 2 "official" .exe roms and renamed to zip and extracted.the nbh file and renamed to leoimg.nbh and tried to flash them.via a formatted fat32 2gb SD card and only one worked, kind of but gets stuck at like 15% of the way?? For like 10 min..I just pulled the battery. .I tried it twice..Please help me out here..this is what is says on the bootloader screen if that helps??
PB81120. SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X50
AND NOW IT SAYS THIS (ON THE GREEN PART OF THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN), AND THIS IS AFTER THE FAILED FLASH THAT I TRIED..
"UPGRADE ROM CODE ERROR PLEASE TRY AGAIN" ?
Is that just saying that the flash failed?? Or something else??
Please help me out guys...as you can see I'm kinda desperate and exuasted in trying to get this.hd2 working again!! Preferably ANDROID FROYO..THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

You need to make sure you are flashing the correct stock ROM. Try downloading and flashing the official T-Mobile US 2.13 ROM, that SHOULD get you back to working. Everything you are doing is correct, Fat32 formatted SD card, under 4GB....nice job searching before posting, that is to be commended. Anyways, try the 2.13 ROM and let me know what happens.

Have you tried a hard reset? Or task 29 while in bootloader mode?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Ok i tried the 2.13 rom and it flashed and said success! but then it just stayed at that screen?? so i pressed the reset button on the back and now its back to the stuck "stick together" screen!! ??? should i have waited till it rebooted after it said "succes "?? i waited like 5 min and nothing and i just pressed the reset button..or should i have taken out the battery??

Yeahhh...you may have jumped the gun a little bit...after is says success, it takes like 10 more minutes for the ROM to set everything up. Go into bootloader and try flashing it again with the stock ROM and wait for at least 10 minutes and see what happens.

OK ill try that if I get lucky enough for that successful update..LOL
But I flashed a hspl2 (2.08) and can't I just flash away?? (USB..bootloader mode) ?? Since the phone is always stuck on the bootloader screen..
I just open the exe flash program and connect my hd2 in bootloader mode and I get the USB mode on the bootloader screen and I flash away..but it but it always stops at a certain point...mostly 8%..???

Yeah you can just flash away like usual. HardSPL isn't required to flash an official ROM anyways.

what am i doing wrong!!?? i tried ,many roms but hang at 8% 95% of the time?? i tried kumars tmous v2.9 s23139 se rom, the ruu_leo_1_5_tmous_2.10.531.0_radio_15.34.50.07u, and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1, all stop at 8%???!! ...i always do task29 after every failed rom to be clean and start over..thats right..right??
i have the hspl 2.08
i have a feeling im flashing an incompatible rom that requires a different radio rom??
please give me a link to download the right rom...thanks

Did you have Android loaded on that same microSD card? Does it hang if your microSD card is out.
After you task 29 it should auto reboot, then you press Volume Down and Power to get into bootloader. Have you tried flashing from your PC via USB? If you are flashing form the card a stock rom, it will overwrite your HSPL to Stock SPL. You probably know this. Also if you flashed 2.13 then you need to install HSPL3 and not the original HSPL program. 2.13 has 2.10 firmware. HSPL only supports 2.8 firmware.
I've always heard when it hangs on boot up that it's usually something on your card.

it never had android, i got it with the stock firmware and it was messed up, stuck on "stick together" screen..and i never have the sd while im flashing via usb in bootloader.. i tried many roms, and task29 followed by hpsl3 and then i would flash custom roms and even stock roms but all fail?? all stop at like 8%, but the wierd thing is that even the task29 sometimes fails at 0% so im suspecting maybe its from windows 7? but i did try xp and the samething, the roms would stop usually at 8% or 0%??? ...weird?
ok i kinda fell like my mind is cluttered and confused..
i want to know, please..what rom is compatible with my current tomobile hd2 with hspl 2.08 colutta
so what rom should work fine?? with no problem?? and DOES IT MATTER WHAT MY RADIO ROM IS?? i have a feeling that if i have a older radio that it will interfere with the rom???

Ok i got it to accept a rom flash from sd card!! But it just stayed at the "update complete, update success" white screen??? I waited over 10min the i did a reset and hard reset...and now stuck at the boot logo??? I heard i might need a higher radio??? 2.10 or higher?? Is this why its not booting up?? Can i flash the radio through sd card??

You can flash a radio, just like a rom form the microSD card...

is there such a thing as a wrong radio version for a rom or "required" radio version for a rom?? will that cause the phone not to boot up???

I've never had issues using any Radio with any ROM really. Some combos work better than others but won't cause your problem. If I were you I would task29, then flash the 2.13 or the new 3.14 shipped ROM via microSD to take the SPL back to stock. Then I would flash HSPL3, then reflash a Custom ROM or the Stock ROM via USB. Then do a couple hard resets after that. If that doesn't work I'm thinking Hardware.
You can use any of these radios. http://www.4shared.com/dir/RFg27UmU/Radios.html Doesn't matter what ROM you are running.

Wtf!! I tried to restore the stock tmous roms (2.13 and the latest 3.14) and all would stop at 8%???? And i reverted back to stock 2.08 spl..still hangs at 8%??? But if i flash that core cell rom...itll say success 100%..??/ why???? Man this freakin hd2 is makin me go crazy...hardware issue maybe??

come on guys?? please help, its been like 10 days no reply...

[Q] Stuck on white screen while booting up.

Hi guys, I've flashed MAGDLR 1.12 onto my HD2, and have had gingerbread on it for 2 weeks. Then, my screen suddenly turned white and stayed the same after reboot, even after re-flashing MAGDLR. It would not even boot into MAGDLR. However, I was able to enter the default bootloader via Vol-Down while booting. I have tried flashing a few official HTC roms, performing Task29, and downloading the official rom from HTC.com too.
I am currently running HSPL 2.08. Any advice?

Try re-flashing HSPL.

I'm having the exact same problem.
I have opened a thread with this question few hours ago
Is there someone who can help us?
@digital outcast
re-flashing hardspl did not make the slightest change... :S

I assume both of you have tried flashing back to a WinMo ROM right? Does that flash to it ok and provide the same end result (white screen)?

in my case, it doesn't even flash because when CustomRUU starts, and the process begins (everything normal), the indicator freezes at 0% until it gives a communication error and all process is aborted!

the indicator freezes at 0%

When you flashing WinMo? If not(if you flashing android), I think problem is with wrong radio

And you tried a task 29 beforehand? Do you have any antivirus / firewall software running that you can disable temporarily?

Hey there!
I've tried all the methods above indicated.
Flashed a new rom through sd - update failed
Flashed a stock 1.66 Wmo rom but white screen still appears as soon as phone is turned on
Can't downgrade HSPL to 1.42 or so...
Can't do Task 29...
What can I do?
Suggestions?!
Thank you!

Ditto, I have not tried the 1.66 Wmo rom though, will try that and MAGDLR 1.13 when I get back home later.
Anyone else who encountered this problem before? Thanks !

Can you go back to WINMO using LEOIMG.NBH and VOL.DOWN?
Can you boot into WINMO6.5 without problems?

Neither!
The update through HSPL is sucessfully completed, but when phone restarts, white screen appears immediately after...
I've also tried to flash other radios (the latest was installed) but the update fails everytime (through hspl).
I had MAGLDR 1.12 installed and it ran before booting the OS (android), but the white screens appears before that.
Damn!!!
Any ideas?

It actually looks like this when I try to flash a stock rom + radio over the SD card.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084
UPDATE FAIL

HD2 kinda broken what can i do?

Hey XDA
Hope someone out there have got some good advice. We have some HD2s where i work and i have been sent one that is acting kinda weird.
I simply can not get it to flash a rom (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_DAN_3.14.403.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) - we only use normal HTC roms. When i try to flash it nothing happens, it boots into the bootloader and just sits there at 0% until i disconnect the cable, if i dont it will sit there untill it runs out of battery. Tried a few times now and same result.
i have also just tried a restore, to see if its the internal flash rom that is broken and the restore also fails. My own HD2 restores in like a few seconds but this one just sits there again, like when i try to flash a rom to it.
So is it totally dead or is there something i should try?

Have you tried to use task29 (via computer) , then flash (via nbh) the htc rom?

hmm just tried task29 and it did nothing, it booted the phone to the bootloader but no progress screen did show up. Tried it again and the phone just shut off again after showing the bootloader for a few seconds.
beginning to think this phone is toast.
Gonna try a HSPL update later and just flash a non HTC rom to see if that works.

HSPL 2.08 & reflash original HTC ROM via PC USB.
Do you get any error codes from the flash utility ?
could be CID related but you should see error code.

Yes, trying it with HSPL seems like a good idea to me, too.
Because then you can also try other ROMs.

will try this stuff on monday - i just cba to do more work today
thx for the advice

Build a gold-card and flash from the SD slot. If that doesn't work, put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, boot the phone and try flashing again immediately in it's chilled state. If it get's ANY further, you have a bad overheating NAND and need a new main board.

got HSPL2.08 flashed and a Dutty 3.14 rom but phone refuses to reboot sometimes and boot just shows the white HTC background and does not show the radio/os versions in the bottom. So i am just gonna toss this one out, since its can not be serviced (supplier has gone bust).
But still havn't gotten any error codes from the phone or flash programs, other then "USB connection failed". So i think its nand is kinda broken now.

first, you can't run 3.14 roms on anything except spl 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
Second it isn't booting because it almost certainly needs an updated radio, 2.15.50 for instance. You probably still have a 2.xx.51 from the original stock, and so wont show rgd screen till you change radio, won't run smoothly till you correct the spl with hspl4

Put phone into bootloader manually, don't use front mounted USB ports, be sure and update win mo dev center to latest ver ..... all the usual USB connection error advice. Trying another PC with a different windows variant often helps if its available.

hmm you sure? The dutty download page says -
Things to Know how about my ROMs:
* Radio 2.15 Recommended
* HSPL 2.08 Recommended
* HSPL 3.03 doesn't support 576 RAM enabled
But i'll try to flash a 3.03HSPL and find out what happens. I did flash 2.15.50.14 radio before i flashed the Dutty rom. But gonna give it one last try.

Have tried two pc's now, both running Win7 32bit - its all we have now.

Ahhh gitcha, then the dutty rom mustnt be 100% 3.14 rom (I didn't check) it must use a 2.x base to enable 576ram.
In which case, if stock roms don't flash but custom did, it could be stuck radio syndrome, which you can test for with (correct, get it using your serial from HTC.com) stock rom flash from sd card (4gb or smaller, fat32). Look out for "rsa radio fail" or similar on screen.
Edit, oh you said you flashed a radio, and that went ok?

yeah HSPL2.08, HSPL3.03 and Radio is flashing just fine. The roms i have tried also flashes perfect its just will not boot afterwards. I can usually do a hardreset on it and it will boot one time. If you then shut it off and try to turn it on again it fails with the white HTC screen again.
I am toally clueless on what is wrong with it, so gonna try to figure out if we have some kind of warrenty left on it and get it switched over to another one.

Reflash Rom

A friend gave me his non-working HD2 to try fix. It would only boot to a white screen (no HTC logo). I was able to get to the multicoloured screen by pressing the vol down + power button. I tried flashing the latest RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship rom via USB but repeatedly it got as far as 1% then gave me an error 270 message. I then extracted the image, copied it an sd card and tried to install from the card. It seemed to go ok until it stopped at 4% then rebooted. I now get as far as a white screen plus HTC logo but no further. Any attempt to flash another rom from the sd card gives an error 00028002 'not allowed' then I get the multicoloured screen but the SPL has changed to 3.03.0000 from I think 2.08 but I can't be certain. Perhaps with hindsight I should have written down what the old screen said!
Any ideas to rescue the situation willingly accepted.
Thanks,
Geoff.

With SPL being stock, you don't have many options. You can try flashing HSPL and then stock winmo/other OS. Or you can try to flash original stock through SD.
By the way, if the device was originally broken because of an overheating issue, you might have to cool the device before attempting to flash anything.
Good luck.

the first thing to happen when you sd card flash a stock rom, is that hspl gets removed, or if it isnt present, teh stock spl gets updated to teh one contained in teh new rom. Then the phone reboots into the new bootloader, and flashing starts.
What happened to you is it removed hspl, rebooted, and the fresh 3.03.0000 detected that the rom region/carrier doesnt match the phones region/carrier, and so failed.
That being said, teh fact that it wouldnt flash over usb is worrying, im leaning towards a faulty phone, but its early days yet.
Try setting hspl again, hspl4, set 3.03.hspl (not .0000) and try flash the rom you listed again, over usb, and report back.

the first thing to happen when you sd card flash a stock rom, is that hspl gets removed, or if it isnt present, teh stock spl gets updated to teh one contained in teh new rom. Then the phone reboots into the new bootloader, and flashing starts.
What happened to you is it removed hspl, rebooted, and the fresh 3.03.0000 detected that the rom region/carrier doesnt match the phones region/carrier, and so failed.
That being said, teh fact that it wouldnt flash over usb is worrying, im leaning towards a faulty phone, but its early days yet.

I've got a very similar problem to this. My phone only boots to a blank white screen. When I hold the volume down button when turning it on, I can get to the bootloader.
From there, sometimes I can set 3.03 hspl, but most of the time the phone freezes at 0%. If I try to flash a stock rom, it stays frozen at 0%. If any of these updates work, then it still only boots to the HTC logo on the white screen.
I'm trying to flash via USB, could this be a faulty phone? I wonder what could be faulty?

yea sounds like it, lots of reports of exactly this, some kind of hardware probably, though JTAG may help.
