help with hd2 t-mobile bricked

I am new in this type of phone and I bricked it. how I flash a rom with out HSPL and the phone dont do nothing only one thing when I connect to the computer it reconize it like Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM but now I dont know what to do to fix it. I think the phone is not damage because the pc reconize it. please help me fix it if there is away to . thankyou
sounds like you have flashed an incorrect radio. Did you by any chance try and flash a non tmous stock rom? Cos thats what happens if you flash an incorrect (non tmous) stock rom because they all include a radio that WILL NEVER work on the tmous.
The phone is dead. Sorry.
the rom I flash it work with my phone because I flash it before. The problem was that I flash my phone to stock and I forgot to HSPL to flash the same rom I had. I think there is a solucion for thins because the phone is like he does't have rom install.
I'm not too knowledgeable on this, but I think you flashed a wrong SPL base or something for the ROM you used to use. Having said that, making multiple threads does not accelerate the rate at which people respond to your problem, so please stop it.
what rom did you flash?
this the rom I flash NorgzRom.2.13.1.N0R.6Z tmous. I have it install on my other HD2 right now and it work perfectly. I brick it because I flash it without HSPL. I what to know if someone know's how to fix it. thanks
Let's see if I can sort the problem out, as your grammar leaves much to be desired.
You took a phone with a custom ROM already on it, and flashed it back to the stock ROM. Which stock ROM? The thing is, depending on how/which ROM you flashed, your unlocked version of SPL 2.08 could have been replaced with the updated and locked down SPL 2.10. Attempting to flash a custom ROM would then result in what you're seeing now.
You then decided to flash NorgzRom 2.13.
The phone now does not boot or do anything except for show up on your computer when connected via USB.
Does this cover what happened?
My suggestion is to attempt a Task 29; although I highly doubt it will work.
The symptoms you are having are the same ones that manifest when a bad radio is flashed. At this point if T29 fails call T-mobile, play dumb, and get the phone taken in under warranty. Currently there is no other solution.
Best of luck

Regarding your connection to the PC:
Don't worry about the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" message -- many phones (including the HD2) when connected to the PC identify themselves in such a way as to match this driver. So the fact that Windows is seeing the phone and trying to install this driver is a good thing. Once Windows searches Windows Update it will identify the *correct* driver (something like "HTC USB Sync" if I remember correctly) and install it.
I believe you can also install this Windows Mobile Device Center update that will allow you to skip the step of searching for drivers on Windows Update.

I tried with windows mobile device center and active sync. but nothing happens.It keeps saing to install the drivers for this devices (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM) .I hope some one get a anwser for this problem.I all ready got a new one because of the injurent but I wish to fix this one. here is the link for my video, so you can see the problem.Sorry for my bad ingles because I speak spanish,hope you understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZE70gwHmSc. please live comments. Thankyou!
Hi, I know you assured us the same rom was loadeed onto your other phone, but having just watched yor video, that is exactly what happens when you flash the wrong radio to a tmous. The phone wont turn on, nothing on screen, and when you connect to PC it shows up as qualcomm.
There are a fair number of posts with exactly this behavour, and all of them are down to the wrong radio.
It may be that it is just a coincidence and that the phone has died for some other reason, but I would guess the result is still the same - unrecoverable.
Still under warranty?
I have one question can I clone my new HD2 the one I have from the warranty with the one is damage. Our if there is a program that do this. I mean like transfer all the progaraming from the Hd2 (working) to the damage one. please if someone know's let me know. Thankyou very much!
There is nothing you can do. I know you wish there was because it is a lousy circumstance but you can't do anything once it's bricked. Get a new one if you haven't already and move on. I hate having to be so repetitive but you don't seem to understand. Plenty of people have bricked...just talk to T-mobile, act like you don't know what happened, get a new one under warranty, and move on.

I think this what happened also to my unlocked Tmobile HTC HD2. I now have a bricked phone too...
With all our experts here, is there really no way that we can fix a bricked HTC HD2 besides sending it back to T-mobile?

There is no way to undo the damage. You have to make sure you know exactly what you're doing when flashing a rom to your phone. All the experts in the world can't help you if you don't do your research first. It is your responsibility to make sure you are flashing a compatible rom or radio. I don't intend to sound harsh but you need to read, read, read then read again for good measure. Good luck and just play dumb when you contact T-Mobile.
Bricked hd2
I am kinda new to this forum. I just purchased my HD2 on June 30th and prior to that I was a Blackberry power user.
I have bricked my Blackberry devices MANY times and each time I was able to recover it so I had no fear of installing a new OS. It got so bad that every time a leaked or official OS was released for my Bold 9700 I would install it and Blackberry OS updates are released several times in a month sometimes.
But in the last couple of weeks of HD2 ownership I have "thought" about installing a cooked ROM but there is no room for error. I would hate to brick this HD2 and I just got it.
Hell.......I work in the IT field on workstations, servers......ect and I have no fear of working on those systems because I know I can recover the data and the system if need be. Since a bricked HD2 is basically a pretty paperweight I will wait until I am seriously comfortable with the process.
Until that time I'll just continue to pick up tips and tricks for this great device!

There is plenty of room for error , but the ONE thing you cannot do is flash an incompatible Radio, out of all the things you can do that is only one, the MAIN one ...
If it is a TMOUS HD2, which I assume it is you cannot flash any radio to be safe, prior to 2.08 or any radio that has x.xx.51.x in it ... Pretty much anything else you do short of a hardware failure there is a recovery option ...
so TMOUS HD2 Nothing but Official TMO ROMs or TMOUS compatible custom ROMs and TMO Compatible Radios ...
EU ROMs , may brick your device if they have a radio ..
HTC ROMs , may brick your device if they have a radio
Hey all! I'm kinda new to this windows mobile stuff also...I used to be a blackberry man, but couldn't resist the hype on the htc hd2 so i jumped on the wagon and got one. I'm paying full price ($400.00) so I am definitly afraid of doing a rom flash. After reading all the horror stories on here and seeing all the different roms out there...it's just to risky for me. The last thing I need in this economy is a $400.00 paper wieght. There has to be an easier way to do this rom stuff. Does anyone know of a rom that works for sure...or are they all problematic?

[Q] HELP NEEDED !! hd2 windows phone 7 zune software update???

i am wanting some help to do with my htc hd2 running windows phone 7 with the dft rom and mgldr and when i have my phone connected to my computer it brings up there is an update available but it always times out and i have tried rectifying the problem by downloading the windows phone support tool BUT this is where the problem is, i cant use this tool because the buttons on the phone have changed when the dft rom and mgldr have been installed and now i cant get my phone onto the connect to pc image screen for windows which is a black screen with the phone, cable and a laptop in it, the updates through zune will then be accepted it fails on the last step every time please help!!!! many thanks jamie.
Yes there is a update from Microsoft available for WP7 called NoDo. But a working adaptation of it for the HD2 is not available yet. It was a video released a while back showing NoDo copy and Paste feature working on the HD2 by the DFT. But it kind of seem to be holding out for the Mangoo update or something because a ROM that can either receive the update or has the update included in it has yet to surface that I know of.
So just to make sure you understand, you can not install the update no matter what you do right now. Unless you would like to jump in and steal the spot light for a minute and be the one that officially released said ROM. That is if you are so minded to do it, I personally would love to but I do not have the knowledge to do so yet.

I had the same issue with no luck. I heard since mango was on the way updates to nodo weren't available. I didn't try to packet capture to see why it face palmed, gonna try tomorrow after mango is out.

This worked like a champ, I disabled the connection quickly, update to NODO from 7008 and then going to try mango after.

Optimus 7 8107 update Sound Issues

Anyone else have sound issues with the 8107 update? I bought the Optimus 7 yesterday, updated to 8107 and now my sound doesn't work at all.
I exchanged it at the store for a new one, updated to 8107 and lo and behold the sound doesn't work again.. this is driving me crazy! I wanted to give WP7 a good try but if updates break the phone I don't know what to think..
I'm running 8107 for quite some time now and experience no problems....
Didn't update via the official way though, I force-updated using the cab files on XDA.
Restored the phone: didn't fix it.
Downgraded the phone: didn't fix it.
Reinstall updates on my mac with WP7 Connector instead of Zune: didn't fix it.
Guess I am going to have to go to the LG Repair Centre tomorrow... fingers crossed!
Had to take it to a repair centre, to fix it they needed to replace the entire mainboard.... not going to update it now, will wait for Apollo I think
