Hey,
I was trying to load some gapps on my sprint htc hero (running AOSP rom) and It wouldn't work so i followed some instructions online and somehow my phone is bricked... I can go to clockwork but when i try to install a zip it goes all the way to installing package then it just goes back to the home screen of the recovery. There's no ROM running at all anymore because i tried formatting everything to start over but the same thing happened. Could someone plz help!!!
Thanks!

Ok...Your phone is not bricked because it is turning on. There are very few things that you can do to actually brick this phone. However before anyone can be of much assistance you are going to have to provide some more detailed information about your problem. I would also suggest that you check this thread that Il Duce posted in the Q&A section.

Lastly I'll assume that your bootloader is S-On which means if you do not have adb set up on your computer yet you should do so, because it sounds as if you MAY need it at some point.
have you tried flashing a rom? Iv had the same problem and figured that wiping everything, then flashing a new rom fixed it
Boom... Headshot! from my L96A1
Try reflashing your current recovery threw adb. Might help.

i agree with laie1472. reflash your recovery. it will give you a clean start. let us know how it goes.
ok so in more detail.... I turn on my phone and it just loads the HTC screen and goes on forever because there's no rom to load. So i can boot it into clockwork recovery, and when i get there i wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition, then i try to install zip from sdcard. I go to choose my zip and click yes and as the script is running across the screen it goes like this: Finding update package.... Opening update package... Installing update package... then it just goes back to the clockwork recovery screen (with the options like reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, etc.) sorry i don't know that much about this but i can learn fast.
Thanks!
Ok. So have you tried to reflash your recovery??? Try it threw adb. If you don't have adb setup check out the link hockeyfamily posted for duces thread. Once there look for my thread on how to install adb. It takes like 15 to 20 min tops. If you need help with the guide just post here or send me a pm. Hopefully this helps

Kind of where I was headed with the "setting up adb" part of my first answer.....but the op never stated how many different roms he tried or if he tried to restore a nand.

I tried using aosp rom and CM7. I can't load the other recovery because in your instructions it says I need easytether. I can't load a rom so i can't download that from the market.
You need "adb" which is installed on your pc, not on your phone.

Check back to the rom page and see if you did everything right. Are you using clk or magldr?

Can you get to the bootloader screen? ie. the multi-colored screen. If so, try to run Task 29 on it to wipe your phone. Then reload MAGLDR or CLK which ever you prefer. Then try the rom again.

ok i can get to bootloader mode by pressing vol down and power...but it just tells me the spl version and stuff and i cant select anything or access any type of menu, etc..
Ok, as you are in the bootloader mode. Download this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
And run Task29. This will delete everything but your radio on the phone so you will have to reflash Magldr. You can use this tool to flash magldr also. If you get that far then partition the phone according to the rom instructions. Then try to flash the rom again.

I am ready to throw my HD2 in the bin !
Took the big step to try and flash Android and been running into one brick wall after another. The latest.....
These are the steps I've taken:
Updated Radio to 2.15.50.14
Flashed HSPL 2.08
Flashed Magldr 1.11
USB Flasher option in Magldr and flashed DAF
When I do a long hold on the reset, I see 'NAND Kernal open Failed' error. It then goes into the Magldr options where I'm trying to go into Services->BootSettings->AD SD Dir to run my Data2SD folder from root of the SD card and then go into CWM choosing Boot AD SD but here it freezes at GO GO GO !
Please help - I am losing all faith in doing this :-(
Go to the NRG android build forum and follow the steps he provides. It went really smooth for me. You might have to flash back to stock WINMO first.

Look in the hd2 android development forum for the NRG ROM thread. I'm not sure how to post the link from this software (I'm on my Dell Streak right now). The process is described in the third or fourth post.
You flash back to WINMO by simply flashing a released ROM from the hd2 windows development forum.

Thanks Steve I found the thread eventually and followed it. I get the NRG Energize boot screen but it doesn't go further - feels like its locked in a continual loop cos I have to take the battery out to reset.
I've tried re-flashing it through AD Recovery but still same prob.
Can you explain what this means:
'For the SDEXT version, you need a CWM layout of 5/200/5. If your phone doesn't boot, try a higher than 200 partition.'
What is SDEXT and is there a download link?
Your help appreciated.

'SDEXT' just refers to an EXT 2, 3 or 4 partition on your SD card on which you can store apps. You can partition your SD card from CWM for this, and of course you will also have to flash the correct system partition for the ROM in order for it to work

How long did it stay on the boot screen? Mine took many minutes to boot the first time (it is also somewhat slow to boot even after the ROM is installed).
EDIT: I'd say leave it for 20 minutes. If it doesn't complete, then there is something wrong. Also, start with a full battery.

WoooHooo It's working !!
I used the Toolkit and (think) did 5/200/5 layout, flashed it and ran the zip with the ROM. Left it for 20-odd minutes and it sprang into life.
Had a quick play and is far smoother than my old crappy WinMo 6.5 but my batteries dying so will have a proper play tomorrow.
Thanks a bunch

Glad you got it working.
Download the Battery Calibration app from the Market and follow the instructions it provides - you need to recalibrate the battery after a flash.
Also, check the settings; I believe the standard settings are for performance rather than energy efficiency.
EDIT: That is for the NRG ROM; I don't know which one you flashed.

Well had a good play with my new NRG Android ROM and love it.
However, I noticed that if I swithch the WiFi off, switch Mobile Network on and try and browse the web it comes up with web page not found errors.
Is there a fix for this or is there some other setting I need to make ?
Dude r u new to android?
Well to get pocket data( mobile data service) u have to set name and apn in wireless settings. Then enable it. Then reboot. The name and apn are carrier specific. So call them to know it.

Hey guys, I need some quick suggestions if anyone has it. Currently I have a non working phone.
I have been running an ICS NAND rom on my hd2 for a while now, havnt had any issues (a few niggles with the rom, nothing major) so I thought today I would update to the latest version.
I used the hd2toolkit to resize the partition to the biggest size it would allow, then used ad recovery to flash the new .zip to the nand. This is where my problems started, whenever i booted it just showed the boot animation, (I waited over an hour and pulled the battery out and re booted / reflashed a few times).
I found with a differnet rom i tried, pulling out the SD car would allow it to get to the welcome screen, but no screen input was accepted. I thought this was a bit weird but pushed on. I tried a different rom and it stated after flashing that it was optimising applications and looked like it was stuck in a boot loop. I did some reading up about it and found that task29 should help. I ran this but then all the phone would do is show the green HTC on the white background, it wouldnt let me to get into magdlr menu.
I then decided to to a full restore and go back to the wm rom from th HTC site (The australia telstra version), this seemed to flash on fine, but now I can not slide or click buttons in wm, no screen input is accepted. Which is strange as it was doing this in an android rom, as I mentioned previously.
Any ideas on how I can get touch working / get a NAND android rom to work again.
Thanks in advance guys
First verify that you have hspl installed by powering on while holding vol down button to get to bootloader screen
Go back to the hd2 nand toolkit
1.task29
2. Select either cLK repartition or Magldr repartition and select size for your rom (not the maximum size). 200 mb is fine for ics using sdext partition.
3.Select magldr update recovery or cLK install recovery depending on your selection above.
4. Reboot phone by pressing power and holding to get to magldr or power and home button to get to cwm recovery.
5. Install ICS from sd card as before
Thanks for the help, I had to flash a different radio version to get magdlr to boot.
I now have android running of my NAND, but the screen is non-responsive now, as it was yesterday.
I doubt it is hardware related, because I have never had an issue before yesterday when I wanted to change the android version, any ideas how I could get it working?
Make a backup and then repartition again using HD2 toolkit. Maybe you got a bad download or something. Seems simple but it does happen. To me if I didn't know you choose the biggest it would sound like the partition wasn't big enough. Maybe try a cyanogen ROM since it reguires very little partition size and report back if successful.

I have tried two different android roms and the stock wm image from htc's site, all of which the screen doesn't work on. I will have a try with a cyanogen ROM and see if that makes a difference. Thanks

I just tried this rom and still no deal. This is very weird as I haven't had any issues with the screen at all, the phone is still in new physical condition.
Does anyone want to have a stab in the dark, as I really need to use it as a GPS tomorrow and any help would be appreciated.
Tell me what the steps you take to install a new ROM. Do you have MAGLDR or clk? Have you task29 yet? Are you sure your using the right partition? Are you using nand or sd Android?
If all else fails maybe check out this thread to reinstall
MAGLDR and then cwm. I've had problems in the past installing HyperDroid without
wiping my SD card first. Maybe check out this nand ROM instead or Coredroid found in my signature.

When installing a new rom, I have resized the magdlr partition, then copied the .zip to the sd card, then in ad recovery installed the zip through there. This has worked fine in the past. I followed the videos you have linked and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right and yes ive used task29 several times. In AD Recovery every time it states that installation has been successful. I have also formatted my SD card many times.
The ROM you linked, I can find download links on the page, not sure if I'm just missing them.
I just tried an SD card rom, its doing the same thing, no touch input is accepted.
Does NAND roms and SD roms not working imply that it could well be hardware? I just dont understand as it stopped working when I was reflashing yesterday and it was not dropped or roughly handled in anyway during this process.
I am now going to investigate MTTY (for bad blocks) and try reflashing back to original WM again. Please post more suggestions if anyone has them.
Another update: I just restored to default using the method listed below.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
It took around 40-ish minutes and still no input from the screen, this is seriously frustrating.
WM boots fine and everything, but still no input is accepted.
I'm sorry to say but if your having the same problem with all that then it sounds like the digitizer stopped working. Maybe someone else knows something I don't so I would wait to see if they could help out.

Thanks mate, I am not sure why it would have just stopped last night. Appreciate all the help! I'll see if anyone else has any suggestions.
It's not a problem. I do have to admit that it does seem pretty odd the timing of it. Hopefully it's a not the digitizer and someone would be able to point out what might be the cause of everything.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
This may seem a little crazy, but after having a search online about my issue, it seems that a ribbon going to the screen / digitizer is behind the power button on the HD2s, which apparently can get loose and after a sharp press of the button it started accepting screen input again!
The issue for me now is that when the power button it will stop accepting input again, untill I press it firmly again. I think I may need to open up the phone and check all the connections now.
Hi,
I'm in the middle of the jungle literally and i only have my phone with me... I'm trying to install the evohd2 ics rom but my sys part is only 160mb...is their any way I can resize it without a computer....?
Thx
If you have cLK boot loader, you can.
Just wipe all via recovery.
Then boot to cLK by long pressing back button and power. You will find the option there.
BTW, this should have been posted in the General or Q&A section, not development.
Mods please relocate this thread.

Yes, why do you prefer MAGLDR if you run android?
It's not that I prefer it its just that's what's on the phone.... Don't I need a computer to change to clk? Or am I totally off track?
My situation is this I have my tmob HTC hd2 with magldr, i'm in the middle of nowhere with just my phone I'm not programming noob but, I haven't been flashing my hd2 more than once... Actually twice i tried a pacman 4.1.2 rom as it only needed 145mb sys part, I'm actually running it now.... But it's lagging quite a bit no disrespect intended.... Probably my installation at fault... So I read that the evohd2 4.0.4 rom was supposed to be quite fast... But it needs at least 200mb syspart...
So if you say I can use clk to repartition, how can I get it on my phone without a computer just give me a link if you know where I should start looking.... I've Google and searched.... But all leads to the hd2 toolkit which I sadly can't use
there u r mate
the attached file is clk with touch recovery included.
rename the file with leoimg.nbh then put it on root of yr sd card and flash it
you dont need a pc to make repartition yr nand u can use it with inbuilt repartition option with this great tool
credit goes to the kokotas and their team.
You mean flash it like flashing a new power up splash screen? Volume down plus power button?

I did flash it and it took a few reboots because it got stuck on the recovery team splash screen...but finally it booted the touch recovery: ) i repartotioned the sys part and reflashed the pacman jelly bean rom just to try amd run it clean...and its not bad: )ill try it for a day now and see
Thx a bunch
sSo thought I'd just update...
I managed to wipe and clean all partitions and install the NexusHD2 ics rom and it's running like the wind only problem is that takes up to ten times to reboot to get it to load the touch recovery... So I got a little scared I'd bricked it.
. But it's ok now thanks a bunch
great u managed it in the middle of jungle right
actually clk is great tool. the only prob with clk is it doesnt support rmnet network it supports only ppp
hope soon devs gonna fix this
sorry i was away so late response
oh yes forgot to tell u clk recovery takes a while but let it be on very first boot its ok approx 10 mins(yeah i kno its too much)
