Sorry about it but, its not "easy" to brick by flashing a new radio, unless wrong radio flashed or interrupted during flashing.
Some experts may be able to help if you put your question little more in detail...which radio etc.

i dunno whats wrong i was trying to update my radio rom minus nandroid backup
i flashed twice process stuck i pulled the battery now i have the dead phone no led no display no usb connection need help

Just checking but this sounds like you flashed a GSM radio onto a CDMA hero, is this what you have done? if so you are FOOOOOOBARRRRRRED son. and to be honest you really should have read about the radio flash.
If thats what it is,
if it isnt then good luck.

Stuck on HTC Logo Screen

I just tried to flash a new ROM by putting it on SD CARD...
i pressed my volume up key and power button for 3 seconds and now my phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen...
it did even go in the HSPL screen
whatever i do it reboots and gets stuck to that screen...
pressing the red button at the back made no difference
what can i do ?

I have the same problem. The phone is stuck on HTC logo screen and is not seen by the computer so I cannot reflash. Any idea what can be done???? Mine got stuck after I installed task 29

(1) Take out the battery / Unplug the phone
(2) Put the battery back in
(3) Turn it on and keep only Vol Down pressed
You should get a tri-color screen. Connect USB. Once it says USB at bottom, you are good to go with flashing.

hard reset

these solutions don't work. I had the same problem. Anyone has an idea?

any ideas about that? anyone found the solution?

put phone into bootloader requires you to press volume DOWN while power resetting the phone. Make sure the ROM is named LEOIMG.nbh and is on the root of the sd card. Make sure the sd card is 8gb or smaller unless it is a class6.

you need to put your phone back into bootloader, volume down while powering on the phone. then after you see the tricolored screen, connect it to the usb.

That's weird, maybe they didn't make a 3.14 ROM for your region.

my HD2 is a T-MOBILE usa with :
radio 2.08.50.08_2
2.08.HSPL
3.14.531.1 elegancia rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729)
i love my hd2 and i want it back...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I think I might have bricked. Please help me :(

So.. I had CM6.0.0 Stable running on my 32A HTC Magic. All fine and dandy. Then I saw the Smoki ROM and I decided I wanted to flash that, but only one problem. It required a different radio and SPL. So no problem, right? I flashed the required SPL and Radio through fastboot. Looks good right now! Then I turn off the phone and boot into recovery.. but wait.. it just doesn't boot into recovery and just decides to hang at the HTC Magic logo.
I no longer have a ROM installed since I wiped. So I can only go into fastboot. Is there any way I can fix this, or did I just brick the **** out of my phone?

Ok. So chill out. You can drop one of the old updates onto the SD card and then, after entering recovery mode, just update from SD.
This is also considering you have a clue what I'm talkin about lolz.. let me know, I'll try to help more.

That's the thing, I can't get into recovery. I can only get into fastboot.

BUMP I really need help, please...

Have you tried accessing recovery manually? By turning phone off, then powering on while pressing "Home" button..?
***Update: sorry, just reread your initial post. You've obviously tried that.. I'm trying to think of what else you can do..

Here, try this! Since you can get into boot loader mode, you should be able to reflash..

[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] Need serious help here.

Ok so i think i bricked my phone
Here's what happend:
My ROM was freezing up on me constantly so tried a different one, but had the same effect. MAGLDR 1.13 had problems booting and so had Clockwork.
So i figured i'd flash a winmo 6.5 rom to start all over. Now when i tried to flash the stock ROM i crashed at 8% i could only remove the battery, and now its unresponsive to everything, soft rest, boot into bootloader, normal boot, charging.
I really need my phone, does anybody have an idea?
Thanks.
Greetings.

i would pull your battery
hold down volume down and red power buttone then install battery while holding
that should get you into bootloader screen
you should also post what you tried to flash and what phone u have to get to this point.
possibly get a battery thats charged completly to try

The battery trick didnt work.
I tried to get rid of MAGLDR by flashing this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and then the dutch one.
At 8% of flashing, an error occured. Had to pull out my battery and my phone has not responded to anything since.

Still nobody with any ideas?
I know the help on this forum isn't much but come on, im really desparate over here.

...when you are not able to get to the tri color bootmenu by holding volume down while starting your phone then your phone is bricked.
The only way to unbrick it, is to use a jtag adapter..not very cheap, about 200$ and more!?

At 8%, it's flashing the radio/SPL/etc (the important stuff). Plug it in to the charger. Any lights at the top? If not, bricked.

Problem you have is sort of referred to as "stuck radio ",,,,(mostly by me, to be fair) and you aren't getting answered because there seems to be no real fix for it. Some have managed after much trial and error to get a radio to flash, but most cases seem to end with nothing but JTAG or new mainboard.
Something that came up recently was flashing the 2.07.51 radio (not for tmous phones! ) so you could give that a try. Be interested in your results.
you could also try the "sd and sim and battery out, chill the phone in fridge/freezer,sealed in a bag, rom/radio image on the SD ready to flash" method. If this works then you have heat induced hardware failure.
