Any advise or help would be appreciated. My hd2 will not boot. Gets stuck on the the white htc screen. Tried flashing standard rom and Android. They all say succesful then when I boot it stops. Even tried loading it from the SD
Even stuck it into the local phone shop, took a week to tell me its f*** not sure if they knew what they were doing.
Anybody know anywhere that specialises in them.
did u check ur hspl??
Hi, I have reurned it back to stock by flashing the std rom.
Then flashed HSPL. MAGDLR and radio, still no joy.
Then flashed back the standard rom. Still the HTC screen

Do you happen to know what radio you have? As what you are experiencing is sometimes called a stuck radio. Also has your HD2 been getting warmer thaan usual?
its not bricked. people really should learn that term, a bricked phone wont turn on

I agree the word bricked gets used way too much here. If the phone will turn on and start to boot up or if you can still access the default multicolor bootloader the HD2 is not bricked and in all likely hood can be fixed via software adjustments. If the HD2 will not give you access to the multicolor bootloader then it is bricked and will need a JTAG or the mainboard replaced.
I have got to admit though it has been a rash of people posting here for the last month or so with the exact problem the OP has of the HD2 getting stuck at the HTC screen. Some or a result of thermal breakdown of the connections between the CPU and the main board, but these people should know this is their problem as their HD2 will get very warm or hot to the touch around the area of the mainboard.

hi
so my phone was doing very good on android , magldr worked fine, no GO GO GO error but when i replaced my hd2's LCD magldr stucked on go go go on it's way to boot android from nand.i thought "ey, no big deal maybe it's the lcd's driver"! but i didi every thing to boot my phone on android again and still no chance heres waht i did:
1:task29->SPL 2.08.0000->SPL 2.08.HSPL->magldr
and it stucked on GO GO GO on tetris.so obviously there was no chance to pass the problem when i installed recovery and tryed to load it.
2:task29->SPL 2.08.0000->SPL 2.08.HSPL->cLK
And this one stucked on "no_console_suspend=1" or something.
i'm so hopeless guys.could someone please help me?
any one?
Firstly, why did you have to get your lcd changed??? I recently changed my lcd and digitizer because I had the common screen freeze. The change to my screen did not affect my magldr.
What radio are you running?? I had similar problems abd it ended up being wrong radio, but this was also before I got my lcd changed.

Flash the stock Windows Mobile ROM for your HD2. If it sticks on boot up you have a hardware issue (bad or corrupt NAND), if it boots up you just don't have something right about the software.
Last thing are you sure you downloaded and flashed the MAGLDR version of the ROM you want to use, unless the ROM will work with MAGLDR and cLK, it is aq couple of ROMs that will work with both.

hmmm... it seems to me that your LCD screens wasn't attached properly but maybe I am wrong.
The best way as T-Macgnolia said is to flash original WinMo to first check if everything is working fine.
After that if everything is working fine:
1) make sure you have proper radio installed (2.15...)
2) Do Task 29 (no need to reflash HSPL and Radio)
3) Flash MAGLDR or cLK
4) Flash CWM
5) Make sure the ROM you are using is for either MAGLDR or cLK.
i too have had this issue. after i flashed stock rom the touch screen (digitizer) didnt work. yesterday i dropped phone off to shop to have digitizer replaced. i will let u know the outcome whenever i get the phone back (they told me they will call me today to give me an update)
I had the same problem. I removed the SD card and it booted up normaly. I reformated the SD and reinstalled. No more problems.....so far....
Well after installing stock rom it turned out it was digitizer.like og92 said.
yea i still havent received my phone yet. but this is the second time the digitizer went out on me. the first time i could at least boot to android. but now it wont let me boot into anything (other than touchless winmo). my bet is that there is a conflict with the digitizer driver and nand as stated in op. unfortunately since i dont have my phone, i have no means of troubleshooting. i hope to report back with update soon
p.s.: why has this thread been marked as solved when it is not?
turns out it wasn't the digitizer (at least not in my case). Instead it was the flex cable (which incorporates the following components: the antenna connector, the front speaker holder, the vibe motor holder, the camera holder, the volume button flex cable ribbon and some other IC components.). I think that it sucks that now i have to pay another 100+ because only the lcd/digitizer was warranted even though you must tamper with the flex cable ribbion in order to replace practically anything within the phone... but its their word against mine (as well as no written contract). Anyway it does make sense that this component is failing (otherwise android would boot) so i think it would be safe to categorize this one as a hardware issue!
I've been using Android NAND for a while with no problems but the other day I struggled getting into bootloader. Eventually (for no obvious reason) it went in and I flashed the shipped rom. I tried bootloader again but no dice. Then I made the fatal error of flashing HSPL again only to get stuck on the O2 screen. I can't get any further.
I can't connect to the pc because it doesn't see anything and I can't get it onto bootloader to flash anything else. I've tried everything I can think of bar JTAG (which is out of my league) and I'm supposed to be sending it back to HTC tomorrow for a repair.
Question is, will HTC see HSPL installed without access to the bootloader and, if they do, will they tell me where to shove it?
..tried searching everywhere before starting a new thread...

How did you flash shipped if you couldn't get into bootloader?
You're doing vol-down and power on right? If you get a splash you should be able to get into bootloader, because SOMETHING is telling your splash to show up.
Try putting the correct shipped on your SD and power up with vol down.
I think they will be able to tell that you modified it.
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it again with the sd card. The only thing I can think is that the battery died on me almost as soon as I tried the sd card shipped rom. I saw the bootloader for a second and then the phone went off. When I charged it back up, no bootloader...
The problem is I've tried so many things, I'm struggling remembering the exact order of my screw up. I have a feeling after the battery died and I couldn't get it into bootloader, HSPL was working and I flashed the stock rom using USB flash.

Well, I've seen lots of warnings about having your battery greater than 50% while flashing, which (obviously) means that if your device has run out of juice while flashing could lead to unrepairable (by end-user) issues .
Try orangekid's advice and report back.

when flashing from SD, SPL and radio are the first 2 things it flashes afaik, so power out right when you started flashing could be a serious issue.
Hopefully what I said above works though, if your SPL is completely fubar I have no idea what HTC will say, what I would tell them if you try to RMA is you had problems with random reboots and did a hard-reset, then when it started flashing it just turned off for no reason and now it's weird or something like that so they think it was a regular stock hard reset thing and not a "oh **** I have to restore to factory cuz I have HSPL on here" thing.
Ok, so I tried about 10 more times with no joy - at least it's consistently broken now.
Thanks guys, just hoping for an 11th hour rescue. I'll send it off tomorrow and report back the outcome with HTC. I appreciate your help. I knew the lack of charge and flashing via bootloader was going to trip me up one day.
Was HTC able to bring the phone back to its original state or were you able to do something to get the issue fixed? I have the same problem. All I did was to load prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 ROM (this ROM is the same as Cotulla's but with few fixes). This was the first time I ever attempted loading an Android ROM on to my HD2. All looked well initially. The phone was rebooted after ROM was installed. I did intial setup like facebook acct, email, wi-fi, gprs, etc. Then after few hours, the menu button (windows button in HD2) and back button quit working. Even the power button when pressed for few seconds wouldn't bring up the power off and other options. I thought a soft reset would fix it and then I pulled the battery off and restarted. All I now get is the first boot screen with "123456...go.go.go..." and then a white screen with HTC on it. Nothing more. It is stuck there. I tried getting in to bootloader, but I couldn't. Holding down the volume-down and then pressing the power button just restarts the phone as mentioned above and takes me to the HTC screen. Not sure how can I get to the bootloader. Desperately looking for help....
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!?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
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.
i recently tried to restore my hd2s and i used this program >_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
to return it to stock it went all the way thru but when i went to turn my phone on nothing shows up at all i now it's now the battery because my computer still recognize my phone when i plug it in i tried holding the volume down and power to see if it would boot into bootloader no luck at all both of my hd2 are tmobile branded and i know i should have read more before just flashing anything. I am going to send my phone away for jtag repair but i wanted to see if any1 could help me first as this happen to both of my hd2s
Yea its bricked, tmous will ONLY take tmous stock roms. Its the radio that kills it, and you picked the correct next course of action,,, JTAG is the only fix, short of replacing the mainboard.
ok thank you do you happen to know a place to get it done cheaply ?

Hello, and sorry for the post asking for assistance!
been driving me nuts for 2 days now, it seems i'm having a major case of melting HD2
it started with the phone freezing often, reboot solved it.
then, it went to having to unplug battery for a few, and, reboot fixed it.
now i'm at a constant white screen (no htc logo)
was running in Android but tryign to just get anything working for now.
i made the sd card leoimg.nbh with a custom rom to recover it, but i can't get it to finish
in red : Radio_V2 Fail
in blue : all the rest
tried to flash radio update, failed
tried to update the HSPL version (2.8one now) but no go, it shows "success" but in bootloader shows the same old version.
what can be the cause of this, exept memory nand being screwed?

CPU and its BGA balls!
Not alot to be done i think...
Keeps coming up on white screen.
Tries to flash HSPL (newer version) finishes but it still shows the same version when powering +volume MIN.
Tried to flash a Radio, comes up with an error Radio V2 error
Tried to push a ROM on there, gives a "image file is corrupted"
Tried what i found here on the different forum threads but....seems my HD2 gave up on me...or at least it's beyond my repair skills.
Thanks for those before me who gave suggestions on what to try, it's a damn sad day i loved that phone..
wts : one slightly bricked phone
Try to do a Task29. Use the HD2 Toolkit for that.
You have to JTAG it in order to recover it. RADIO_V2 means it's radio, and it's officially bricked. There's nothing you can do other than JTAG to recover it
Well, in a way i'm glad i have the answer now about the V2 being the radio ...
Thanks for the input guys, not sure i'm going to bother with the JTAG story, already ordered a replacement for my HD2 as it is, can't spend too much time without my phone.
Anyone knows if people are interested for the "bricked" HD2's? or how to reach people?
