[Q] HD2 doesn't turn on after flashing Android! Please Help!! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Sorry people, cause I don't know if there's a thread like this one, because I don't have an HD2, actually I have an HD7.
Anyway... my friend has an American HD2, with 1Gb ROM and he did flash an European ROM into his HD2 (and he doesn't speak English )
Does anyone have any idea to his problem?! (I don't know any more details...)
Thanks in advance

remove the battery for a minute, try run it again,
Flashing american hd2 (aka T Mobile HD2) with EU/International HD2 rom is very2 WRONG

Make sure the phone is not simply out off battery. Take out the battery and put it back in then press the green button the turn on the phone. If it still doesn't turn on, then take the battery out again and put it back in, now use something small to press the yellow button in the back. It should turn on.

Thank you guys, I'll try this and post what happens, if happened something.

If your friend flashed a European ROM with a x.xx.51.xx radio then they bricked the HD2 and the only way to fix it is JTAG.
It is well know and discussed in the HD2 General forums that any 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio will brick a TMOUS HD2.

Htc hd2 noob

Hello,
I am getting ready to buy an HTC HD2 from T-Mobile next wednesday.
I have been doing some searches for stuff here ond XDA.
I have a probably stupid question.
Are HTC HD2 and HTC Leo the same thing, can I install themes and other things for the Leo on the HD2 from T-Mobile?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, leo is the HTC name for the hd2. Yes you can run all the same apps and themes and registry tweaks, only when it comes to rom and radio must you be sure that what you are flashing is tmous compatible.

x2.
It is super important you are getting a radio and rom that are compatible with the Tmobile thing. If you are planning on flashing there is a link in my signature that should help you. If you flash something not compatible with tmobile it will brick your phone and be just as useful as a brick have fun. its an awesome phone
I too, am a WinMo noob and I just got the HD2 and am looking forward to putting custom ROMs on it. My only concern is if I accidentally brick the phone, is there any way to 'un-brick' the device and reinstall the stock TMo ROM that comes preinstalled with the phone?
if you can reinstall, then it wasnt bricked in teh first place, , , but yes, most problems are recoverable.
The big nono for tmous users is the radio, which the main distinction is the 3rd set of digits in the version.
It will always be either 50 or 51,
2.07.51.x
2.08.50.x for example.
all, every, and each radio with a ..51.. in the version WILL ALWAYS totally kill a tmous. Also 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x, even though they are 50 radios, will still kill it, stone dead.(or i suppose that should be brick dead)

Listen to SamSamuel, Ive read many of his posts and he KNOWS his stuff. But I think he may have mis understood one part of your post. If you brick the phone, like really birck BRICK it, meaning it will not turn on, the computer only recognizes it as 'Qualcomm xxxx', it is toast. There will be NO going back. It is a loss. So read, and read some more, then read some more, before you even consider flashing. HD2 bricks are some of the most expensive bricks out there...
Thanks alot peepes!
I appreciate all the comments!
I decided to stay with at&t and I also decided to switch from my old trusty Iphone to the Samsung Captivate.
So far, I love it!!

Orange or Htc against the android dev on LEO

I experience strange things since i received in warranty my new HTC HD2 from orange. The phone came with new official ROM RUU_Lerange_FR_B2B_1.72.73.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U _2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship. I decided to flash. First hSPL3, then Task29, flash ARTEMIS (as always) V33.1 then ugrade rom radio to 2.10.XX. Each time i try to flash a 2.10 series my phone became crazy. Can't soft reset, reset itself, try to access to microsd, but reset etc... Like i identified something goes wrong with rom radio i decided to downgrade to 2.07 series. Now all is ok, the phone run like a charm.
We all know that all Android bluid run with a least 2.10 rom radio series, do you think, guys, that ORANGE put something in the phone not to run ANDROiD?
I have an Orange HD2 and I'm using Radio 2.14, no problems at all. I was using the 2.12 just before without any problems either.
And I don't want to "lecture" you, but try to post this kind of things in the "other" forum, this one is made to post new builds and Android roms.

Dont worry about it, a Moderator will take the appropiate actions.
it's really the .51 on the radio that came installed with the phone when you got it from orange, from my experience having that in your FW is a problem to run android on the phone.

sounds like a radio issue to me, have you tried other ROMs, what is your radio version?
Try flashing 2.12.50 or 2.15.50 and you should be fine.
tried the Energy Rom, no good use.. flashing the radio now.... thxx for the quick reply
sure thing, let me know how it goes.
Also, when flashing a new winmo ROM, are you doing a task29?
I have had issues when flashing new ROMs over old ones without doing task29 first, it seems to help a lot.

[Q] black screen hd2

After bootind wm on my hd2 it doesn't start. I can't do anything.
Please help me.
Have you tried booting into bootloader?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I can't see anything, my screen doesn't start
tmous phone and non tmous official rom? if yes, then its dead, the radio has killed it. If no, check the battery pins.
you need to give more detail in your post, what version phone, what rom you flashed. we cant help if you dont give the info.
My phone is a t-mob phone previous rom version was 3.14 and when i tried to put 2.01 version at 99% he died.Is interesting when i try to turn on him the vibrator is working but the screen is black(sorry for my english)
May I must put the same version (3.14) and boot it from sdcard?
If somebody have (nbh) version please tell me the adress,
Try editiing your original stock image with Htc-Image-Editor - take the radio OUT completely. Will bring back original bootloader. Then hspl and do normal flashing etc.
can you tell me how to do it?

How Do I Change the Radio ROM?

i got static on my hd2 when i make calls. it was suggested that i change the radio rom to hopefully eliminate the static. i've never modded an hd2 phone before. i got a stock 6.5 on it. i hope its possible to change the radio rom without modding the stock 6.5. how do i change the radio rom? what are the steps?
i ask ONLY serious ppl to reply, no trolls or negative ppl.
You change the radio just like you do a ROM you can flash it via USB are flash it via SD card. Download thw Radio you want to flash and put your HD2 into bootloader by holding down the volume doen button while powering on your HD2. Connect it to you computer via USB and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then flash the radio.
Be adviced though with a stock ROM if it is a 3.14 ROM these ROMs are ver dependant of what radio version you have on the phone. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio. If you want to use any lower radio version than these you will need to flash a custom ROM, but they may still give you issues as most of the very resent custom ROMs are based of 3.14 stock ROMs
Do not forget my wartning from my other post about what radio versions not to flash.

hi, T-Macgnolia. good to hear from u again. ok, i read your message on my other thread. below are my current specs. but honestly, this phone shouldnt make any static calls whatsoever. its brand new. it should make CLEAR calls right out the box and i shouldnt have to flash it with any roms as a result.
os version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
manila version: 2.5.20181424.0
rom version: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE
rom date : 9/29/10
radio version: 2.15.50.14
protocal version: 15.42.50.11W
it looks like i got the most current version of the radio and stock rom.
but to be honest, all this flashing sounds risky and complicated. i already owned TWO hd2s and they gave the same static. i sent the 1st one to htc for repair TWICE and it came back unrepaired. i bought a 2nd hd2 and it had the SAME static. at this point, i cant beleive that any hd2s are static free. are you guys sure u dont have static everytime someone talks on a call?
also, this loser, samsamuel, is harassing me and i dont know why!! i STRONGY urge u to ban this guy from my thread and any of my future threads. he harassed me in my prior thread and hes creating problems on this one.
Lol, I was calling you on your bad attitude, not harassing you but enough said, I'll not post in your thread again.
Best of luck with your defective Leo.
lol "i'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me!"
i just want to add a few things:
1. you shouldn't HAVE to mess with your device. in an ideal world, it should work out of the box. but such is life...
2. the rest of us don't HAVE to help you...but we do, and for free! mind you, samsamuel's thoughts and posts are valuable and insightful, and i guess any "attitude" you received was probably well placed because your conclusion in your previous thread was based on statistical evidence when we all know that "correlation doesn't imply cause and effect". finally, your "how to change radio ROM" query has already been well answered and well documented on these forums, just search and read!
and now for the thread topic:
1. having the latest version of the radio doesn't mean it is the best version for your combination of network+location.
2. i honestly don't know for sure why you get static on every hd2 you have owned. the odds of getting a lemon so many times in a row are astronomical! mine works just fine. a friend and i brought our hd2s together from the same guy on the same day. his hd2 works fine also. my uncle has two hd2s, both of his work fine. another distant relative has an hd2, and given the pattern, you'd be correct if you guessed that his works fine too. no static on any of these hd2s!
3. are you using a TMOUS sim in the phone? have you tried another sim? have you tried demonstrating the problem to a TMOUS representative in-person?
4. is the device sim free, i.e. can you try another network's sim in your device? worth a shot...might be a long standing network/tower problem in your area.
anyway, cool down dude, don't be all paranoid, no one is harassing you in the true sense of the word...just slightly using the "stick" approach to nudge you into doing more reading and research of your own. it sure beats the whole process of posting->waiting->getting harassed->posting some more->waiting->so on. cheers

i dont want your help.. dont comment on my thread anymore.
Member ASCIIker is correct as it could be your SIM card giving you issues as the HD2 has been know to act kind of funky with some SIM cards. I would see about getting a new SIM card and see if that may solve your issue. You have the current up to date ROM and Radio on your HD2 so it is more than likely a issue with something besides the HD2. Try the a new SIM and then post back here with the result.
Cheers

Damn that sucks man. Have you tried taking your SD card out maybe you got something funky going on with it as I have heard of some people taking their SD card out and it solving weird problems like this.
I assume since you said it was a prepaid card you do have your HD2 SIM unlocked, Ialso know you-know-what what SIzm unlocking is as you talked about it in the first thread I seen you in.
If trying different radios and another SIM card has not helped I am not really sure what could be the issue, unless there is just a bad cell tower or something in your area that is only malfunctioning on the GSM bands the HD2 uses. I find it hard to believe you were unlucky enough to get two HD2s that had the same issue causing static. Not saying it could not happened but the chances astronomical.
Have you tried different radios? It has been busy for my this week and I forget if you have.

Hi, T-macgnolia. I really need to update my radio ROM. But based on my current stock ROM of 3.14, I’m limited to only 2 specific radio ROMS. I’m using one of them and obviously, I’m still getting distortion on calls. As a result, I want to install a custom ROM to install a lower version radio ROM that’ll hopefully remove distortion from calls. As I said before, I’ve never modded an htc phone before.
Since I got a TMOUS phone, you said not to install the following cuz I may brick it:
Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.51.03 **(from HTC **1.72)
Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **(from HTC **???? )
Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 **(from HTCWT 1.61)
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)
Anyway, what custom ROM do you suggest I install for my TMOUS so that i can install the right radio ROM on it? I want one that looks exactly like WM 6.5. also, can you provide the steps needed to install a custom ROM on my SD card.. thank you.

I'd HUGELY appreciate it. as a reminder, i got a locked TMOUS phone.

Yes do not flash any of those radios to your HD2 as they will brick your HD2, no might to it, they will brick it. look at the numbers I have highlighted and this is what you look for in radios that will brick a TMOUS HD2, any 2.05.50.xx radio will brick it too.
Ok the one ROM that comes to my mind when you say you want a ROM that is close to stock id the Energy ROMs as the ROM chef NRGZ28 has multiple ROM versions in that thread, all of wich IO highly recomend you just have to pick your flavor. Here is a link to the Energy ROM thread if you want to look at screen shots of all the ROMs as you might find one you like more than the ones he has that are close to stock. Here is a link directly to the post #3 which has the close to stock ROMs in it, you will probably want to go with the Eergy version are the Reference version from this post. to download click on the American flag and then select the most current version of the ROM you want.
Here is something you need to know it will help you know wich download to click on when you go to hotfix from clicking on the flag. This comes straight from post #1 of the Energy ROM thread, I added the red and blue writing to help you understand.
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
* The 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner! I recommend you start with this first!
This is the number for the closest to stock ROMs when you go to the download link.
* The 29017 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.X series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
This is number for the ROMs that are a little more modified but still close to stock if you use the ROMs I suggested.

hi, T-Macgnolia. thanks for the info. i got a question. i like the 'Reference 21916 build' ROM. but, i dont like the big soft keys (action and menu) at the bottom. i like the way the soft keys look on the stock wm 6.5. can i customize it to make the bottom look exactly like the bottom of the stock wm?
do you know if this ROM is the latest version?
also, hows the battery life on this ROM? i need to make sure that this ROM doesnt drain the battery... this is very important for me.

WM6.5 Stock uses an older Windows Mobile Build.. Build 6.5.3 I believe was the when it started to be more finger friendly and in turn has the larger buttons.. So if you like how the older build looks then look for roms that have that version of WM6.5
Look in the WM6.5 Themes you might find something you like
As for Battery Life.. It all depends many factors... Some say the latest Radio has a higher battery usage while others say the complete opposite.. You must check which combination of Radio/ROM fits your location the best and if the battery is decent enough to stick with.. That why most people start out thinking they wont flash roms, but once they start having problems or want better performace they change their mind

21916 will give you start menu in the top left corner without the big ugly softkeys... thats the other build number.
It only shows that in the pic as it seems to be the most popular version.
Battery life with energy roms tends be less than some other roms as they are optimised for speed. Battery life is by no means bad though. You should still be able to make it through a full day without worrying about running out of juice. That said, there are other roms which will give you better battery life if this is a huge issue for you.
Also, not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when trying out different radios its apparently a good idea to test it out for at least 48hrs before you decide if its making a difference or not.....
Yes koolxx as canantroutman posted the 21916 ROM will give you the same soft keys at the bottom and the same start key at the top like the stock ROMs do.The ROM you like the Reference ROM is based of the latest stock ROM so yes it is the latest ROM. So far as battery life goes I can not give any first hand feed back on this as AI have not used that ROM. What I can do though is refer you to member facdemol's "Various ROMs power consumption" thread, link is below. If you go and read his first post you can see from his test resoults that all ROMs use just about the same power as far as power consumption goes, but he does say that all around the Energy ROM does best on power consumption. Go check the thread out it is a very informative thread and project he is working on.
