did you flash a custom rom before this happened? If so, it is likely that you forgot to update to a compatible radi. Look through the thread for the rom you downloaded for details.

HTS HD2 - Cooked ROM Bricked

I tried to cook my own ROM and when I installed, the installation was successful. But after that my phone does not start. when I click the power button, the phone does not boot.
My ROM size was close to 300 MB.
Any help is appreciated.

Phone doesn't boot? What do you mean doesn't do anything or gets stuck?
If your device turns on you could try to get in bootloader by holding volume down when turning on the device. If that works you can connect to usb and flash another rom

When I hit the power button nothing happens, the screen is black, the device does not start. No bootloader, no led light nothing, I tried hard reset, I tried the reset button.
When I was installing the custom ROM the battery was full. When I connect to USB, the computer says some Qualcomm device thats it.

If you cant boot in bootloader, then its screwed. But you said your pc sees it as qualcom device...so it probably ok.
Just put it in bootloader, and flash a stock ROM.

PC shows as "qualcomm cdma technologies msm". But nothing else not going to bootloader

Did your ROM had a radio in it or only the OS?

I guess only OS, I think I did not have Radio

Did you tried to leave the battery?
Which Original stock rom did you used for cooking your own? Have you a link?
Did you already searched in forum for a possible fix?
i found some links http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...mqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=hd2+bricked&sa=Search
Give us as more infoes as you can.
HD2: Tmous or Htc brand?
HDSPL? Have you installed one?

It a tmobile. I used the Oskitchen and downloaded a stock ROM to start. I removed some of the items that I did not want, then after I did "start building". I took the "RUU_Signed_0409" from the output folder. I flashed this to my device.
HDSPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 I followed this tutorial.
Can you please let me know what you mean by "Did you tried to leave the battery?"

Leave the battery means Take out the battery for some times and then return it inside.
Did you dump a TMOUS Stock rom, right?

Can you please compress the ROM and upload it somewhere so we can take a look? If you didn't select splash screen or radio the ROM should contain only the OS section and therefore be safe to flash.

MOD EDIT: removed link because not safe,PM OP for link. thanks.

@ Airxtreme:
Did you see his prvious post? See below, he hisnt totaly sure by Radio.
Most TMOUS mobiles Rom upgrade failure are due to flash a non compatible RADIO , its not safe to flash the rom linked.
Im removing the link, if someone wanna try what Airxtreme suggested, please share it by PM....sorry but i do not want some noobs complaining for his phone bricked.

Sorry but the archive seems to be corrupted however from the part I could extract it looks like the ROM file except for the fact that it's 400mb big (but it shouldn't be a problem if yours is a TMOUS phone) has only the OS section and that means it should have been safe to flash. Try removing the battery as suggested, unless you have issues with your computer's USB or some other application messing up the RUU updater the phone shouldn't have been permanently bricked also when you turn it on to enter the bootloader mode try doing it with the phone not connected to the computer maybe it just doesn't like the USB port.

From what I saw there is no radio in there and the archive wouldn't even extract so I don't think there is any risk about somebody flashing that file.

Yeah i see that it is corrupted, but you know ....i have seen some recent post in Kaiser forum with people with Different phones then the Kaiser, asking in Spl thread how to install it on their phone....so better dont risk imo

Flash a stock ROM first, then re-flash the SPL. You, sir, got lucky. If that thing had stopped while it was actually flashing, you'd have a brick.

bro uhm can u like send me instructions for it?? and the files for the stock rom.. cause again this is my first time and id really appreciate it if yu would... and btw i used hspl to try to flash it... and everytime i tried to reflash it without a "stock ROM" it saids error bad spl.... so i dont know what to do.. but u said to try to reflash it with a stock rom so if u can tell me how to do that,, that would be great.. btw my phone is not bricked right???

Nope. As long as you can see the bootloader, you ain't screwed
Ill post a detailed post in a few minutes
What provider is your HD2?

T mobile... And btw I can't connect to my active sync swell is that ok?

uhm can u send my the details?? im t mobile.... my provider is t mobile... and i cant connect to active sync.... just letting u know

it would help everyone help you if you would update your info with cellphone provider, country, etc.
I'm guessing tmobile usa right???
Ok, go here for a stock ROM (you might have to register):
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/1664046-post1.html
In that post, download the 2.13 stockrom.
Connect your phone via usb to your computer while in bootloader (should say usb at the bottom). Your phone cannot connect via active sync because you probably don't have a ROM on it at the moment.
Unzip and run the Rom Update Utility (RUU) and follow the instructions. This will take you back to stock.
After doing this, I suggest your read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
If you are not tmobile usa hd2, then disregard above and find stock ROM for your carrier.

uh i am usa t mobile.. btw can u add me on aim??? if u have one so u can like help me.. pls.. my aim is [email protected]

ok but ur in here just incase i need questions right?? and btw do i need to take my sim and sd card out of the phone when i do this??

btw bro the 2.13 rom downloaded really fast.. is that ok???

uh do i really need to flash it again for it to work?? or after i finish flashing stock rom will i be able to go back to my normal phone again.. cause after all of this im not that interested in custom roms.. i just wanna get my phone back to old wm6.5

hey i did the steps u told me and its still the same ****.. but i can go to bootloader.. now do i have to flash it regular?? cause i still cant access my phone.. but i went through the whole process

bro when i tried to flash it again.. its said that bad spl version.... should i try the process again???

I don't know then. When you put it into bootloader and run the RUU what happens? Does it start then error out at a percentage? Not start at all?

no bro it went through the whole ruu process... without active sync though cause again i cant connect to active sync... then once i went through the RUU process it didnt do anything.. my spl still said 2.10 in the bootloader screen.. and i still cant connect to active sync.. thats why i think the hspl part wont work... should i try a different hspl? cause i think this one isnt compatible with mine... and how come my spl on bootloader is still 2.10??? i thought we updated stock rom to 2.13??? but yah it went through the whole RUU process. i even tried doing the RUU PROCESS LIKE 3 MORE TIMES STILL DIDNT WORK... DO I HAVE TO DO THE SD CARD THING OR WHAT???

Probles Falshing A New ROM

Ok, so I went to flash a new ROM on my phone, and when I go to the run the RUU, I get the screen with the 4 steps to complete, which are already completed, then hit next. Now I get "Error [240] : File Open" and below that it says "The Update Utility cannot open the requested file. Please check the update utility."
I tried downloading the Update Utility again, but it still does the same thing. Ive flashed my phone before, and Im pretty sure Im not doin anything different this time, but its not workin. Am I missing somethin?
Thanks

Check if your harddrive isn't full.
A RUU extract some files, and if your harddrive is full it can't

URGENT MAJOR HELP REQUIRED *PLEASE*:
I am stuck on DFT boot screen (after doing 1234-vol up_down-wp7-reset) and this is *after* (wp7 here !) all the chains b4 that are done: ie: power on, hspl, htc, magldr- for windows phone 7 on hd2. Sometimes get thru to windows phone 7. but generally reboots. Done spl back to stock and leoimg on sd back to stock and tried task28s, 29s, etc but just reboots constantly and randomly.
Any thoughts here? What is warranty process? DO they replace at all with NEW? or new BOARDS/RAM? Gone back to 1.66 spl and sent in for repairs. because - the stupid recommended Romupdateutility HTC stock rom 'upgrade' did this damage. yes, was Windows Phone 7 and activated using dev hack with marketplace & xbox/live. Also - although I activate ok and can use it on market fine once it boots good - still when both my hd7 (hd2) and Mozart are signed into XboxLive using same address at same time: (mozart is legit fully/eula-signed etc) then the hd2 seems to reset a LOT here at this point. maybe this has something to do with usual xbox-live security? ie: http://www.wpcentral.com/hack-xbox-live-windows-phone-7-get-perma-banned-microsoft ?????????? please hlp me - I am fully capable of mtty, sd-leoimg, whatever it takes- but need to know why this would be the case? same with Android roms/stock too. Anyone know about task2a on hd2? how many bad blocks I should have? partition/re-partition droid or wp7 to avoid these bad blocks? I just WISH Cotulla/DFT let you run the windows phone 7 installer in such a way that all bad bloks could be excluded totally as if the never exist... ie make hd2 clean.

note: although I have gone bak to original spl+rom in past I have (both unsuccs &succesfully) have previously done task2a and even spl-mfg install and radios/roms as DEBUG/SPL-MFG. xmoo?

Bootloader freeze

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my bootloader.
Tried to downgrade my DHD (it's on 1.75.111.2 - Telekom-Branding) to get root.
So I created a goldcard etc. No problems.
Then tried to open the bootloader. It opens, but nothing happens. I can't even move the selection. I have to take out the battery.
Tried it again from the start, but still the same...
Tried it with other SD-cards (empty ones and goldcards), but it's everytime the same: SD-card -> freeze, no SD -> no freeze
Can anyone help me?
Regards
Eneco

When I opened the bootloader, it'll freeze , maybe a minute, then it'll show that it scans your SD card for specific files, if it finds a file with the specific name it'll ask you to install it. How long did you wait before pulling your battery?

I tried waiting up to 30 minutes, but nothing happens...

Unleash your BeasT !!!

follow these guides to the letter and you will be fine... there is also another tool called "Android Flasher 1.6.1" you that saves you from all adb commands if you dont knw them..with it u can change ur splash screen, recovery, radio,bootanimation... also when everything is done.. do a full wipe(full wipe deletes everything on the phone except recovery and boot and radio ofcourse.. and EASY FULL WIPE dnt delete ur data but delete everything else so only full wipe is needed in this case) before installing a custom rom. DO EVERYTHING AS IN THE SEQUENCE OF THE LINKS I HAVE GIVEN YOU.. links are all above.. oh btw the zip attachment u need to unzip it and u will find another 2 .zip files.. u just place those in ur sdcard goto bootloader then recover.. install zip from card.. and then click on the one you want... got luck

nothing happens when you move ur volume keys up and down and press power button for selection ?

Format your SD to FAT32 using full format, no quick format. Then try again. You should do that to a few cards.

Maybe you could flash a RUU, maybe it'll update your bootloader or something. I don't know if it'll work, but it couldn't hurt by trying.

Tried that today, but can't flash with RUU. Also tried with goldcard inserted and those adb-commands from downgrade-thread before executing a RUU, but it only goes until "actualising signature" (or something like that, i have a german version) and than it won't proceed

ok, took me some time to upload it because of my crappy internet bandwith...
First of all i remade the goldcard (full format, hex-editor-steps...), than i used the adb-commands from downgrade-thread, that's the reason there's no actual version displayed, but i get the same result without those, than i executed the RUU (1.39.111.1, tried 1.32.405.3 too, but couldn't find my recent version, think that's the main problem while updating with RUU).
On my DHD there's a black screen with HTC on it the whole time...
Here's the video of the RUU-update. Tried to translate those steps...
Will upload videos of goldcard-creation, downgrade-steps and bootloader-freeze too, if you want to see those
//Edit: It seems that I can't add the video directly, so here's the link

what program are you using there for adb commands?
also do you make the gold card with MMC2?
have you tried another card?

I'm using standard Windows command prompt (cmd),
took the mmc2
and tried several other cards, even some that worked for my friends

We got at least one other DHD with that symptoms: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...me-down-im-bootloader-funktioniert-nicht.html
Both DHDs have a T-Mobile branding (1.75) - maybe T-Mobile or HTC changed something on the bootloader
Maybe manually flashing the bootloader is an option, don't know right now if that's possible with S-On

which tool are u using ? cuz i never used that tooll ur using in the video
