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;

I tried for about 100 hundreds time, but nothing happens, so i say before, when i useTASK 29 i've used the bootloader using the volume hardware keys, and it works perfectly

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.

[Q] HD2 cannot turn on...

hi there, im new here and ive been searching on the forum for a long time, but i didnt see any solution for my problem... (or maybe i was blind) so when i was trying to flash back original ROM from bootloader screen through USB, it didnt show my current image version info on the screen, but it did show the image version that im going to upgrade... however, i still let it updated and it said its succeed. but when my phone going to reboot, it stuck on the "stick together" screen... btw, my phone is PB81120 SS-B3 SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE. hope someone can help me solve my problem... thanks first :]

Go into bootloader again and connect the device to your PC via usb (should show USB at the the bottom in bootloader) and run the Rom Update Utility again. But first make sure the ROM is compatible with TmoUS Hd2.
I would recommend flashing stock from the bootloader just to be safe.

but i was trying to install T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1 under bootloader, and it still the same... :[

Was that what you origonally tried updating to? Or was it a custom rom you had tried?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

that was the latest i tried to updating to, or any different kinds of version of original ROMs... before, i tried to update a custom ROM on it first, but it failed :[ actually, when i first got my phone it was unlocked, so while i was waiting to get the unlock code for it, i decided to install android on it... later on i had successfuly putting android on it, and by that time i got my unlock code too. then i typed it in and my phone just reboot and stuck on the "stick together" screen till now... so i started to look through the forum and found out that most ppl said is to reflash the ROM back to the original one first, and then everything would be alright... but i guess it didnt work on my phone D:

Have you tried a hard reset? (Hold both volume buttons while booting)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

yeah... i tried everything :[

hi,
don't worry, your problem is resolvable. (as long as you see something on screen, you are lucky.)
1) When the stick together screen comes, do you see any numbers on left bottom after waiting for some time say 1 min.
if yes, then your problem is missing OS image only.
in this case, take out the battery. after that, keep volume down pressed all the time and insert battery again. press power button, if mobile does not start immediately. please keep volume down button pressed till the time tricolor screen does not come on. after that connect cable to computer and update normally.
2) If you don't see any number, it may mean multiple things, which all are resolvable. (most likely bootloader stuck in another mode.)
in any case, try steps in given in 1 and report back. before reporting back please install mtty on your computer as it is needed to send commands to mobile to get out of this mode.

[Q] Stuck at bootloader at boot

Hi
A friend of mine has a HD2, never HSPL or anything and still running on 1.42 rom.... Now everytime it boots it goes straight into the bootloader. Since its never been messed around with I find it odd, seen it before with people with other phones. Would this just be a corrupted ROM and therefore it goes there, would if poss a stock rom flash be able to restore the phone, if that is not the case then a warranty return is still valid, but obv not wanted.
What do you think, will this work? I did search but everyone's posts come up with I task 29 and now stuck... etc and not from a stock bootloader as well!
Cheers any help will be appreciated, my first thing I will get him to try is a rom reflash but that will be tonight, I'll update on the progress then!

First thing I would check is if his volume button is stuck for some reason. Second would be to see if it detects a USB connection, then hard spl and new rom from that point. Keep us posted.

The post above me is correct check and make sure the volume down button is not stuck/Hung in the down position. If it is stuck in the down position like it is being held down at boot then this is the cause of it going straight to bootloader at boot up. If there is no problem with the volume down button then try a hard reset of the HD2. Warning this will reset your friends HD2 tolike it was fresh out the box so any photos, videos, documents, and etc that is not on the SD card they will lose. Also any contacts that are not backed up withan app like Microsoft My Phone will be lost. To do the reset while the HD2 is off bold the volume up and the volume down buttons down and press and bold the power button down. When you see the tri color screen come up release the volume and power buttons and follow the instructions on the screen (hint: you will want to press the vume up button). Now if after the Hard reset your friends HD2 still goes to bootloader at boot up then download and flash the stock ROM for their HD2 you can find it on HTC.com but make sure you varifiy that it is for their HD2 by entering the serial number of their HD2 you can find the serial number look under the battery. To flash the ROM let the HD2 boot up to the bootloader and then connect it to the computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of the boooader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognize the pbone and then run the .exe or RUU wich everone the ROM has.

Never thought of the key being held done will try that first.
Also I won't HSPL'ing as its in warranty and a half HSPL'ed phone is well useless

OK so i feel like a bit of an idiot for this one. Turns out what I call a bootloader and he does is totally different. For me Its the tri-colour screen, for him its the red/orange windows boot screen. So it was all solved by a HR. Great..
Sorry for those who offered the advice but it really was not needed. but solid advice it was, you always can rely on help in here

[Q] Help please!!

what happens when you try to go to bootloader?

Bro, try flashing any windows mobile 6.5.* rom on your hd2..
To do so, enter hd2 in bootloader mode,
Keep pressing DOWN + POWER when device is switchd off initially
and flash any rom.
This will surely help you

People he can not flash anything having to do with flashing via the SPL bootloader, this is why Orangekid and I both asked what happens when the OP trys to boot into bootloader.

calm down everyone!
lol
sorry, like others have mentioned, what exactly happens from start to finish when you try and get in to the boot loader, yes i know you said you know how to do it
but humour us, start to finish, buttons you push, whats on teh screen, everything.
sounds like something in the SPL has been screwed, been a lot of that recently which is a bit odd.

I can not get to the bootloader
I know that I cant get to the bootloader I tried the way you said above again and it just goes stright to magldr so I can not flash back to stock ........ I took it to a phone repair guy who said he fixed it and it appeared like he did but then two hours later it started again .......

Ok everyone as you can see he can not get the SPL bootloader to come up.
I will help you out with your Youtube link too.
I am very sorry to tell you but without being able to get to the bootloader you can not flash a official ROM back to the HD2 so you can not send it in for warranty exchange our repair. That is unless there is some miracle program out there that you can run from your computer to force the bootloader to bootup, which i have never heard of one. (Note to Devs that would be a awesome program to create if it is possible )
There is the bootloader.exe but you already have to have a Sync type connection for it to work and i don't know if the connection you get using Zune is enough. I attached the a EnterBootloader.zip file but like I said i don't know if it will help you are not. Try connecting and syncing your HD2 with Zune and then try to run the EnterBootloader.exe from your computer and see what happens.

Thanks for the program but when I try to run it in windows phone 7 it gives me the error that it is not a valid windows phone 7

Is there a way I could update or change magldr without the bootloader? or is there any sort of windows mobile rom I could install through magldr like you would with android or wp7?

I mean sorry it gives the are that it is not a valid win32 aplication not windows phone 7 that was a typo

I know someone in that can JTAG your HD2 buit he lives in Texas, but he is very good and experienced with JTAGing HD2s, PM me if you want more info as it would be against the rules for me to provide any other information in the forums.
Also I do not think you need JTAG but just need your voulume rocker fixed, but he is still the guy to do it.

the volume buttons should be easy to test within windows its self
I doubt its MAGLDR issue, it looks like an SPL issue.

could you tell me how much the jtag would cost and the volume down and up buttons work when the wp7 build is up

[Q] HTC HD2 Stuck from Booting

Hi,
I was actually trying to put ICS on my device from GingerBread Nand.I connect device with USB and I was trying to Wipe using HD2 Nand Toolkit.As device reached 100%, it suppose to restart but in my case it hanged at 100% for 30 mins .Then I restart by removing the battery.Now when 3 color screen shows, it shows serial at the bottom but it change to usb when I connect to pc .The problem is now when I try to re-partition ,it says device is not connected.
So I thought I may be able to install windows by downloading actual rom from T-Mobile and place the file to sd card by renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh.I did it using a class 2 16Gb card.As I press both volume down key and power button, it goes right to the rainbow screen.Please help me!
