So i think ive bricked my iMate Jasjam but im not 100% sure spent hours reading...

Hey Guys,
Although this is my first post i have been reading and reading up about my iMate Jasjam and all of the other stuff that goes with it... Now whats happened is ive gotten this phone/pda for nothing with a sound issue that ive now fixed , it was running a rom with windows mobile 6.5. It was fine for almost 4 days but out of nowhere it wouldn't come out of idle or sleep mode where the screen is black and you just tap the power button to wake it. So i turned the phone off and on and managed to get it to boot into windows mobile but it froze, after this it wouldn;t go past teh load screen. I then removed memory card , battery and sim , still no boot afterwards... I then attempted to use the SD card to boot an original rom onto the phone but it comes up with "loading" for a few seconds and then just sits in the tricoloured screen and won;t budge.
Unfortunatly it appears the phones never had the hardspl done on it so if i can revive him ill definatly do this so it doesn't happen again... If i turn the phone on now it just hangs on the first load screen , ive still got GSM but im not very able with utilising the table to solve my problem... i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the best way to try and revive it! it's a great little phone and i was using it heaps and heaps , had and did everything i wanted and would be such a shame to see it go as i got it for nothing, repaired it etc..
Thanks in advance and my appoligies if this is a stupid noob question.

You could try a hard reset, hold both "soft keys" (above windows and ok keys) while hitting reset, then the "R" on the slide out keyboard then space.
You should also be able to flash it from boot loader. Hold the power and side ok buttons while hitting reset, and you should end up in the tri colored boot loader, flash the at&t stripped rom from there (found in my sig below).
Then you can load hardspl. Then you should be ready for some flashing. Just make sure to flash the stripped rom between the custom cooked roms, it will straighten out odd memory issues (no need to let the stripped rom configure, it seems just flashing it is enough).

[Help] HTC HD2 can't start up after edit registry.

Early I edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS cache to 2048.
By now I can't start my HD2, it hang on HTC word with R,G,D code number and won't start on window.
Anything I can do for that?

I had to do 2 hard resets due to this tweak. Good thing i just got my phone and didn't lose anything but some some playing around with it.
My problem was a bit different though. It would start up but things won't load properly and seems the screen is not aligned(clicking on shorcuts don't do anything).
Anywhow, it seems this problem is affecting a lot of people, espcially ones with stock roms. I'd just stay away from this tweak for now.

Can't start my phone after Axlor 9.7 this rom ?

Did u try HR? If not try it should help

I got exactly the same problem! Don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!

Not much you can do except hard reset and not use that registry "tweak" next time. I too have run into this, and I cook my own roms... so yeah, some how this is not compatible with the newer rom bases.

Okay.. Thanks mate, how do i do this Hard reset? I think i have tried the most?? Can you please guide me?

take out your battery, put back your battery, while holding volume up and volume down together press power button, release when you see 3 color bars.

thanks .. it works

thanks too! it work for me either!!

Hi guys,
my HD2 remains blocked after HTC word at starting. I did 2 consecutive hard resets (using Vol UP/Down and Power buttons) but the problem remains. Still doesn't start.
Can any one help me on how to make it starting?
Thanks a lot.

boot without external card
try resetting your HD2 without your micro sd card in the slot.
I had this problem before, if you boot your device without an SD card, you might get some errors, but your phone will start.
Then undo the registry tweak and reboot again with micro sd card in slot..
Let me know if it worked

Thank you p50kombi for your help. I've already tried restarting without the m-SD card but it remained unsuccesful. I finally entered the bootloader USB menu and was able to flash my ROM. The problem was probably my Radio which was not compatible with the ROM (i aimed at testing different radio versions - now i know from which Radio version Leo 3.14 is compatible).
Many thanks to you.

i have the same problem ... i cant open my htc hd2 .. it stucks on HTC screen. i tried Hard reset (with buttons) but it doesn't work for me... can you suggest me any other way to reset my phone please ?
Thanks alot

MAybe a clue to what ROM/RADIO/SPL/ newly added software or tweaking was on the phone.

It seems that a lot of people have the same problem.And i was thinking that i was the only one... I had the same problem. After a hard reset started again but the problem comes back every time i try to add an application like Cookie Home tab or spb programs or what ever...
The strange thing is that i used Cookie home and a lot of programs since 7 months ago without a problem and i didn't do anything when the problem started.
I used to have HTC Touch 3g for 3 years and never had problems like this and i thought that is a good idea my new phone be another htc....Wrong decision..
Happy new year from Greece.

HD2 frozen on boot

I have just got the HD2 and been using it for a few weeks. Downloaded a few apps (eg HTC rom, BSB tweeks) and all is good. Saw Max Manila and looked like a great idea - checked my manila version 2.5.19211619.0 and downloaded 2.7 SE (checked it's right for my manila) loaded onto phone and it crashed after soft reset. Took battery out and phone doesn't go past first screen (with the red writing bottom left) - Hard reset is the same and now I'm worried!
Any ideas???

sad to say yy sounds like hard reset time.
power off, hold volume up and volume down, tap power keeping volume up and down pressed til the screen comes on and follow the prompts.
it will reset your phone to factory defaults.
never used max manila so I cant help with what the problem might be, but if there is a developers thread for it you might be better asking there.

Thanks for replying samsamuel - I've tried the hard reset and it doesn't work!
Even when I do as you say, I get the white start screen with htc written on it and then several red lines at the bottom right starting R G and D and that's it! It just stay's like that - At this moment I'd pray for a hard reset!!
I'm going to try booting from the sd card but I'm not sure I can get the phone to go into the bootable mode. I've downloaded the HTC rom and extracted the nmh so we'll see.

if your phone is provider locked then that will not work.you need the rom that came on your phone. so if was from uk o2 then you need the o2 uk rom, otherwise it wont work.

No luck! Whilst I've got everything to sort the phone out it won't do anything but load the white first screen no matter which buttons I hold down.
Man this sucks!
Guess there's nothing for it except the bin unless anyone else has any other ideas??

can you get into boot loader?
press and hold vol down(not up this time, just down) tap and release power, keep vol down held. should boot to striped cultures colored screen.
if you can what does it say next to SPL?

Hi Samsamual
Thanks for helping but no, won't go into bootloader either - doesn't respond to any input (even when I conect the usb the charge led doesn't come on!) and just starts with the white screen with the HTC logo and then the red writting appears and it just hangs - left it for 5 mins just to be sure and no change
Looks like I've really messed it up although I have no idea what I did wrong - instal went just like the other things I installed.

Ahh shame. All i can suggest is the original rom sd card method. But it MUST be the propper rom that came on your phone, so if you got it from vodaphone, , , even if it is unlocked, you must use the voda rom.
Also, have a really good read through the pages in teh rom development section. If you can find someone with the exact same issue, you could be one step closer to fixing it.

When you tried the SD card method did you use a 2GB SD card and was it formatted to FAT32?
WB

Have you tried a boot (all combinations!) without the sd card installed?

Hoss and WB - thanks for the comments
Hoss, I've held the volume buttons for over a minute after powering on - no change
WB, I can't get the phone to go into boot loader screen but thanks for the info for the future. Next time I'll see if I can copy the original rom just in case.
Resigned myself to having a new paper weight on my desk and looking for a new phone - Guess I won't be putting so many programs on my new one....

PA - Thanks for the advice - Yes tried with sd card in/out sim in/out bootloader, hard reset, soft reset and always the same.

In your posts you do not mention where you bought your HD2, and I do not know what country you are in.
From what I have read, it seems that you did not flash any ROMs, nor change your SPL, so if I were you, at this point, rather than accepting a bricked paperweight, why not explore your warranty possibilities?
Contact the place you bought the HD2 (the dealer) and explore your options. Since I do not know which country you are in I will not suggest an HTC service center, but if your country has such a center, at last resort, you might check out that possibility.
Since you apparently had no hardware problems before the manila incident, it would seem that it is a software glitch somehwere.
Good luck with all of this. It must be almost heartbreaking to have this happen with such beautiful hardware.

What's most annoying is it wasn't as if I was doing anything crazy! Max manila is used by many people (from what I've seen in the threads) and I guess I downloaded the wrong one (although naturally I checked and it's the right one). Certainly will curb my using of 3rd party software! As for the warranty, you're right, I can try and see if it can be fixed (bizarrely, that hadn't occured to me - I thought that with no resets working HTC couldn't do anything). Thanks for the tip and I'll let you know how I get on.

Surely your warranty will cover this. Yes, let me (and us) know how all of this goes. You will get your phone back to what you deserve, for sure!

I had the same issue.
Sent mine to HTC and got it back with the comment "Cannot reproduce"
Probably it solved itself when the battery was removed for a couple of days in the mail.
It has now been working for two weeks again.
Fingers crossed.

Experential nut I may be, but just wondering if you had the problem after you installed the MAx manila? I wonder now what versions of OS may be causing this problem.

i had something like this with my HTC Diamond... It stopped responding completely when turned on, didn't respond to the usb cable being plugged in (the round ring used to illuminate when charging)
I took the battery out, for about 30 minutes... then left it charging for another 30 minutes - booted up straight away and never did anything like that again
Worth a shot just leaving it without power for awhile, and then just recharging it
Like watnuweer mentioned, "cannot reproduce" probably fixed itself by not having the battery left in for awhile

This is getting more interesting, what do you suppose is the cure of taking out the battery, and then charging? I do not doubt your experience, I am just extremely curious if anyone can explain this phenomena.

Argh! The screen is no longer responsive. What to do?

Just as i said - Argh! The screen is no longer responsive. What to do? I can no longer slide the lock across the screen. i have tried to flash the ROM with the 1.66 official but i cannot because it tells me to unlock the phone. I cant! argh! I've pushed the little red button by the battery a couple of times as well as removed the battery. Any suggestions? The hard buttons allow me to answer a call but that's it. i recently turned on the lock for the phone (today in fact) but I've unlocked it several times since doing so before this happened.

Sounds familiar...
Sounds like it is the same problem I had, as well as a few others on this forum. Even after a hard reset, it still didn't work. According to other people here, the solution is to have the screen swopped out for a new one. I've actually just sent mine in today to get it sorted out.
Just curious - I've got a suspicion that environmental conditions may have a role to play in causing the failure. What is the weather in your area like?

Very nice here today. Sunny, mid 50s(f).
I bought this off of ebay. Do i just send it in to HTC?

Try a hard reset, and if it doesn't help then make sure you have an official ROM and send it to HTC.

a hard reset is the little red button next to the battery, correct? ive done that.
and i cant very well change the ROMs at this point now, can i?

I would really like to wipe it before i sent it in. i dont want all my info, etc going into someones hands i dont know. anyway to do that?

No, that's a soft reset. Hard reset is pressing the red button while holding both volume keys until you get the "Restore factory settings?" prompt (when the device is on), then following the onsceeen instructions. This is what you're looking for to erase everything, including any possible software bug that could have caused the issue.
If the touchscreen still doesn't work then, send it in.

No! A hard reset is:
- Turn phone off
- Press vol up and down at the same time and then press power button (hold vol)
- follow the instructions on the screen
Be aware, that all you data on the phone will get lost. I recommend taking out the SD for that as well. After that u r done. By what you say i assume, that you didnt flash a custom ROM yet, right ?

Thanks! that didnt work either though.
I just want my money back now honestly. This thing, as pretty as it is, is just too much trouble.

Sorry double post...

A faulty device can happen to anybody, just bad luck... can't count how many times it has happened to me as well in the past.

I heard that there is a batch of phones that have a faulty screen, other problems are that without pressing anything the phone still registers clicks, phone doesn't always detect the correct place of where you pressed and the screen not responding.
I have got this on my phone and have arranged a pick up from HTC to pick up my phone for repair, hopefully in a week or two it will come back with a brand new screen that works

Ive had it a couple of months now. Im not sure if i can deal with the lack of apps that my iPhone has, pandora and the like, and the fact that teh HD2 would every so often change time and even date and i cant get weather in places my iPhone can.
In short, i love the HD2 for its specs but i no longer trust it at all.

HD2 Serious freeze HELP!

I think here might be something wrong with the htc sense, but the thing is, that my hd2 touchscreen wont respond to my touch. When i'm at the unlock screen, i cant slide it to open up. This wont change after reboot either.
So eventually i set a hard-reset on the phone, but it didn't work after that either. I tried three times, no respond. Without the sim and with it in.
I cant recive calls or text messages, because i cant tap my PIN in, neither i could open or answer. I'm f***ed.
Okay, the next day i do my fourth hard-reset, and it starts working again, but after a time of use, it will start getting slow with the touch again, and then it will stop responding again. So I don't now what to do. There is now warranty time left, so i want to see what i can do my self before taking it to a repairing place and pay 100 € for it.
This is my everyday phone, and i would like to get it back to normal state as soon as possible, so many many many thanks to all who try to help me out of this
Cheers,
Nother

Have you flashed HSPL on it or this is all stock ROM?
honestly it looks like a hardware issue to me.

well i looked at the stats, and seems like i have HSPL on it, but it's not bought from a reseller, it was bought second-hand. it has worked perfectly until a few days ago, then the freezing started.

ok if it has HSPL on there that means someone flashed something on there.
I would flash task29, then flash the ROM of your choice and see if it still does it.
If the ROM is the problem a hard-reset won't fix it, so let's try this and see what happens.

Okay thanks for the help
the only problem is that i'm running on a mac, and i cant find any software to flash the hd2 on a mac..? Do you now any?
and could you link me a thread or a tutorial to how to flash 'cause i'm quite new with this anyway.
Thanks!

There is no way to do this on a mac, find a PC.
ok, here's the quick version.
1) download the attached file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
2) turn your phone off, then turn it back on while holding the vol-down arrow, this will bring you to a tri color screen. Make sure you are plugged in via USB.
(you could do this via activesync, but I want to avoid the freeze so this gets you right into bootloader)
3) unzip the file and run it, follow the on-screen instructions, it will flash task 29, which is basically a good reformat.
4) if you are fast, hold the vol down arrow when it reaches 100% and don't let go till you're back at the tri-color screen. If it goes to the splash screen it will stay there forever (because there is nothing flashed on your phone now). You have to do a battery pull or press the reset button. In this case hold the vol-down arrow again and power on the device to get you into the tri-color screen again.
5) Download the ROM of your choice from this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
They are all custom ROMs, my favorite is the this one currently:
http://hotfile.com/dl/117879873/9b01b43/Energy.Leo.29020.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity.May.14.7z.html
It was taken from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and is the awesome one with big finger friendly buttons as well as that awesome blackish theme (Sencity)
If you don't want a custom ROM then go to the HTC support site and find your stock ROM, download and flash that via SD card (I am assuming you have an international HD2 and not a TMOUS one).
If for some reason you have a TMOUS one DO NOT GO THRU HTC BUT USE TMOBILE'S SUPPORT SITE.
Let's get you rocking and rolling!

Thank you very much for your help, i'm very grateful
I'm going to run W7 virtually, just to be quick.
And I was thinking to flash straight to Android, is that possible? Like android 2.3 or something.
Cheers!

sorry if I made you unhappy, but my phone is now in a technic service due to same problem, it never fixed with a rom update, day by day your problem will appear more frequently, this is a hardware issue, maybe digitizer maybe hardware buttons block your touch screen.. I will see what will happen after my phone come to my hands again..

Okay thanks.
I will see what the reflashing will do. Then if it doesn't work, i will take it to repairing.
Thanks!
