Stuck on "stick together" screen... Please Help....

Hello,
I'm a noob, through and through. I think that I did everything correctly. I flashed Artemis v8.0 and followed the instructions, then it said that it was completed successfully. When it boots, however, it gets stuck on the "stick together" screen and displays the R G and D information in the bottom-left as it should. Also, when I access the bootloader and re-run the flash, I see no image version information listed. I should mention that the flashing process only took about two minutes. I already did a hard reset.
Did I do something wrong? What do I do?

Update: I tried flashing KUMAR and have the same results; the only dirrerence is that the information listed for D has changed to 1.66.KUMAR... oh my...

...Wow.... I can't believe it. It won't turn it on at all after flashing the original LEO ROM. Looks like I'm toast now...****...

What radio are you running? What model phone is it?

The radio is default. I didn't touch that. I installed HSPL then flashed a couple of ROMs, none of which worked. I think that I may have flashed the wrong version of the official LEO ROM fromthe sticky. So, it looks like I'm screwed. The best way to learn from your mistakes is to lose $500.

you still didnt say what phone, tmous is different from all other hd2's
if its a tmous, then yea, i suspect its gone. (it was possibly recoverable at your first and second posts, cos that was roms that dont support 576meg ram, so flashing a tmous specifric rom would(i think) have fixed it, but what official rom did you flash? anything other than the tmous 2.10 rom will have had a bad radio, and as we all know by now, the wrong radio bricks tmous's
(Edit - sorry, didn't mean to rub it in, just wanted to explain what had happened at each step)

I flashed LEO 1.48 (WWE) from the stickied thread. I can't post the link because I'm new. I don't even know what TMOUS means, so I suspect that's not a good thing. It's the model with 1024 MB ROM is all that I know. If I can find out exactly what, let me know.

Yea, tmous is T Mobile US. They will ONLY accept roms of the 2.10 family. Thats why your first 2 rom flashes failed.
However the damage was done by the radio. Stock roms come with a radio as part of the rom, and the official rom you flashed is oooold. Certainly it has a ..51.. radio.
Any radio with ..51.. in the version will not support the 576meg ram that the tmous has, and as it turns out, they stop the phone even powering on. (or powers on but black screen, the PC sees it as a qualcomm usb device, if it sees it at all.)
I've yet to see anyone offer any kind of fix, though i have seen people say they have had it replaced by tmob.
Unlucky.

So, I now have a couple of options. I could go back to the store and play dumb, or I could physically damage it and pay the $150 or so to get it replaced. Thoughts?

I'd take it back. Say it was on charge overnight, you woke up and it's like that. Can;t hurt to try, eh? be all gutted and that, moaning about lost contacts and such.

So if they don't take it back, would they take note of the fact that my warranty is voided so I couldn't go ahead and pay the $150 for a new one? I really appreciate your help.

if they figure out the warranty its void im sure they'll still fix it, they'll just charge for it.

Alright, they took it back no questions asked. I'm going to actually end up saving $200 because of this - my contract is up in a week! Thanks for your help, samsamuel. Great community here. Now I just hope I'm not stupid enough to try it again!

heh so there is a silver lining after all.

you used HSPL?
if you did that and you go back to store make sure you dont have HSPL more on your phone!!!!!!

I have made the same mistake, i flash the rom energy 1apr , the flash was made succesfuly end phone was started normal and functioned , i close the phone and when i opened him , the phone stock on the wake up screen ( htc on white screen ). what kan I do?, please help me

i had some how same problem before like Sticking in boot screen
1. i tried hard reset hold Volume up+down and press end button till it will start and then it will ask you if you wanna do reset and press volume up for accept after that finish it will ask again to press volume up for boot then it would boot. if does then you need to correct the radio and also ROM which is correct for you
2. another is task29 method
let me know if you could make it...

thanx , i am at work , bath will try later

@costinn : try to flash the proper Radio ROM. It happened to a lot of people because they do not learn about the radio compatibility! Try 2.08.50.08 and you will be fine!

unless the artemis rom is different, you need to flash a radio, check out the didicated thread in "rom dev" and see what they reccomend

ok i think your right! it says to install a radio which i didnt
but it worked well for one month
is my phone now broken and did i lose my warrenty

if you get it into bootloader is shuold say connected by USB in this case you can still flash the radio in the exact same way you flashed the rom.
in regards to warranty, flashing custom roms does void warranty but its not the be all of end all, you can flash back to stock but thats something you will need to read about as its quite a lengthy explenation.

which rom and which radio should i use now to get my phone working again

ok i understand ! thanks
im woking with xp, and i flashed my phone with a vista pc
is there a chance to do that with my xp?

with xp you use ActiveSync and vista its Windows Mobile Device Center but the whole flashing process is the same

omg dammed your right my phone is reakting with active sync to usb woooooww thanks a lot , will try now

ok thank you , it worked i installed a stock rom . do you think i should install a custom rom again or what do you say

yeah, by all means do a custom rom, they may seem quite daunting and we all make **** ups but once you've done it once or twice its a piece of cake.
check my sig, read through the help threads and you shuold be ok.

when installing a custom rom always check the Required HSPL and Radios, I have made that mistake before. Once you know what you are doing flashing is a breeze.

thanks for helping
now there is another problem!
i installed goatrip and everything worked as it should
then ....
after a freeze with the massage low battery my phone didnt react anymore so i took out battery.
but then ......... it is not reacting at all, it is switched of i cant turn it on
i hope that maybe the battery is broken
but warrenty is lost
somebody can help?

or should i just find a mobileshop who can tell me whats wrong with my hardware

I'm guessing you've tried that, but just in case (since your message doesn't say you did) : have you tried charging the phone for a while and turning it on again (even while connected to the charger)?
If you did try that, you might want to try with another battery, but it would be better if you had a friend with a HD2 to try with his battery before buying a new one.
If you still get nothing, then you'll probably have to send it for repairs..

yes i have tried that

normally when you charge the orange light is shining
lucky i have a friend with a hd2, i hop it will be the battery or charger
but if not should i send it to htc or to sombodyelse, beause they will properbly send it back whitout even putting a hand on my phone????

Well I'm not sure you have another choice but send it to HTC unfortunately.
You just have to hope they can't turn it on either and send you a replacement under warranty, because if they turn it on and see you've installed HSPL and a custom ROM, you'll probably have to pay for the repairs.

has anybody experiance with that?
how hoch will they offer
but what i cant understand.... can a software damage the hardware of the hd2?

[Q] bricked

sorry if this has been asked and answered but from what i searched i couldn't find a similar case
i had been using a version android on HD2 for at least a month so i wasn't even flashing or reseting, just unlocking the screen on adroid
suddenly it turned off, and so far it won't turn on even when connected to pc or charger (no recharging light)
so does anyone know how to get it fixed or do i just go look for a new phone?

If you pull the battery and then put it back in and power on with the volume down key pressed... does it go into Bootloader?
If the answer is yes, start again flashing a Radio, MAGLDR etc.
If the answer is no, it sounds like you had a hardware problem.
Good luck.
EDIT: Are you sure your battery isn't just empty?

It could be a hardware problem, however they are not going to service it if htc finds HSPL on the device.
I was using SPL 3.03 from the Official 3.14 firmware, and not HSPL when I was running Android on an SD card, so hopefully, that is the same case with you.

Not much you can do about it now.
Don't worry, hopefully whatever has gone wrong has completely killed the phone and they will just give you another.

[Q] Can't flash radio....

this has probably been asked 100 times, but I can't seem to find a solution from searching.... I purchased a hd2 off craigslist, they said had a bad battery... my first mistake... so I get it home and hook it up to a charger and boot it, it hangs on splash screen... so I try to just go ahead and flash a 2.**.50.** radio to goo ahead and install MAGLDR, it hangs at 96%, for like 30 minutes, so I pull the battery, reboot and get a black screen, so I try to flash a shipped rom via SD, again hangs at radio.... try task29, stuck at 99%.... any solutions? or am I bricked?

What happens if you try flash via SD?
I'm currently trying to revive my HD2 too and somehow, flash via SD doesn't even start
Do you still got access to the bootloader?

Battery out, sim and SD out, but a radio leoimg.nbh prepared on SD card.
Phone into sealed bag, into fridge / freezer for a while till its nice and chilled, battery in, SD card in, try flash it, and keep trying,, some threads (some,, this isn't guaranteed by any means) say it suddenly worked on the tenth, twentieth, or more attempt.
if it does work, its likely indicative of connections going bad through heat wear, or similar.

Magldr will not work without 2.08.Hspl PLUS a ..50.. radio.
You are gonna have to fix your stuck radio first most likely.

A few questions here as the answers may better help people here help you out better. What does your HD2 say in bootloader. Also is your HD2 a T-Mobile Leo or a EU model as this is very nuch need to know information. Information is key when it comes to someone assisting you so the more info the better.
If you have the T-Mobile Leo I suggest you go and download the official update ROM from t-mobile.com. If you have a EU or another model you should go to htc.com and find the correct ROM for your HD2. Sometimes it is best toflash the official ROM as it reverts everything splash screen, SPL, radio, and ROM if you flash it via SD card. This will allow you to just start over and maybe not incounter any problems. You can flash it via USB also but it will not revertigo any HSPL if it is installed.
Also like Samsamuel said if putting your HD2 into a bag and the frig or freezer for a little while helps it boot then it has started having a thermal breakdown of the connections between the CPU (processor) and the mainboard. In this case the only fix is to replace the mainboard in the HD2 as the CPU is not replacable.

Just an update...
I flashed everything with the phone in the freezer, and flashed fine, now after about 5 minutes of use, I have a hang that forces me to do a battery pull... after that I get the 7 vibrates of death on boot... pull the battery again and put in the freezer and it works good for about 5 to 10 minutes of use, however if I only use it for texting and nothing 'smartphone esque' I can keep it on for a couple hours.... guessing the mainboard is shot because of the thermal coupling or something...

Yes your problem is thermal related but it has nothing to do with a thermal coupling LOL It has to do with the heat breaking down the connection between the processor and the mainboard. You can either replace the mainboard or go to the thread I linked below and try the OP's fix, plus you can learn a whole lot more about what your problem is.

Is this called Bricked?

Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.

The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.

don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?

K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
