White Screen appeared during use, HD2 now wont boot.

Posted in Q+A, but no luck so far. Rather desperate for help.
I was using my HD2 the other day for both Android and Windows mobile (Stock ROM). I had no problems with it at all, and at this particular time, had it on WM, but when I took it out of my pocket to use it I noticed there was nothing but a white screen. I tried restarting and I still get nothing but that same white screen.
I'm able to access the bootloader and it shows as having HSPL installed, though any attempt to install a ROM leaves it stalled at 0%. I can update the LEOimg.nbh through the storage card, but as soon as it's done and I restart, i'm right back at that white screen.
I feel like i've tried absolutely everything to attempt to fix this, and I wouldn't clog up the forum with another thread if I wasn't absolutely lost. If anybody could help me with this, I would hugely appreciate it as I can't be without a phone for too long, and being unable to remove HSPL means I can't take it back to the store.
Thanks for any help.

you say flash via sd card seems to go further along? have you tried flashing a STOCK ROM via SD CARD?
the motivation is that flashing a stock rom via sd card is said to bring you back to stock state AND restores your hspl to a regular HTC spl.

To do that should I just take the RUUSigned file and renaming it to LEOimg, then placing it onto the memory card? I've just tried that from a stock ROM and it fails.

have you tried updating the radio?

When I tried to update the Radio it would get to 4% then restart. However when it restarted after I tried again on your suggestion, it's booted into the Energy ROM I tried installing to it yesterday. I was able to boot into WM for about 4 minutes yesterday before it restarted and threw me back into the white screen. For now it seems to be working alright, despite probably restarting the thing a thousand times since last night.
Thanks for the help guys, can safely say i'm absolutely confused as to why it's only just decided to boot up.

And I knew it couldn't last. WM w/Energy kept crashing and refusing to reload. I've managed to put a stock ROM (1.66) on there, and have updated the Radio (2.07.50), as well as removed the HSPL in case it does have to get sent off. Now all the phone does is boot to a white screen again. Argh.

And now it's getting stranger. I tried loading a 1.48 stock ROM instead, and now it loads the HTC logo, and the red text in the bottom left, but for some reason grey rectangles keep appearing and moving up and down the screen. It's hard to explain, and it's never happened to me before.

Right. Managed to Task29 and install a fresh ROM and up to date Radio. Thought it was fixed, and was using Android with it for most of last night. Again took my phone out of my pocket to find nothing but a white screen. Stuck in the same place I was to begin with.

Im having the same problem hd2 was in my pocket took it out and had a white screen iv tried everything i can think of got it to work for a couple of hours but back to white screen again, can enter bootloader but cant get into magldr at all tried using toolkit but nothing working using hspl 2.08 magldr 1.13 running the sensation xe rom love the phone really want to get it working again. thanks in advance for help

White screen
I have exactly the same problem "White screen" after having installed all roms/radios and had the ph booting/working, it can't be used for any reasonable amount of time before reverting back to the "White screen". I've concluded that it isn’t a software issue and is most likely Hardware.
Now to find the faulty component. Ideas?

Searched and did, Searched and did.

I tried after 2 weeks of investigation, to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5. I downloaded hardspl and Ryans 6.5 Heavy for sprint. I read everything about doing the install. I made sure Windows Mobile Center was working and sync'd. I started the the hardspl and did everything it asked. I watched the Mogul go into I guess bootmode. The Red, Green, Blue and white, and then nothing. Somehow the phone became disconnected. According to Windows Mobile Center. I tried re-connecting and failed. I tried AFM's solution for flashing from SD card, with no change. Stuck. I copied RUU_signed.nbh on the SD card. That didn't do anything. I put the 6.1 program from HTC on the Card with the .nbh file and still no good. Beginning to think I didn't read enough. Anyone know how to get this phone back to normal again? Thanks for your time.

Just passing through here at xda, I can help you if you this evening, no time during day today. If you don't get it before then. You can reach me at ppckitchen.org in the chat section.
But until then you can post what your bootloader version says right now, in order to see what you got.
current bootloader version?
current radio version?
If your current bootloader is either the 2.40 or 2.47 then all you might need to do is flash a custom rom. Hard to tell if you don't give all the info needed to know where you are at exactly.
Also the nbh on the sd card has to be renamed to TITAIMG.nbh not left as the RUU_signed.nbh it was. SD card can be NO BIGGER than 2gig. and must have a format of FAT32.
Hit me up in ppck this evening if need be. Justpctech might be around as well.

Well thats where the problems are coming from. I'm using a 4g card and I forgot to rename the file. Yes the bootloader was 2.4. Screen says : upper right corner -RUUNBH .........Starting at left side towards top: TITA 100 MFG.....SPL-2.40.OLIPRO....CPLD-9
i believe the the problem was the SD card and the naming. Thanks so far. Heading to work at the moment but will try later. Thanks again.

Perfect, that one is best IMO.
I recommend this from where you are.
1. Flash the sprint stock rom from here Because it contains a gps radio, 3.42.02 which is fine. Now if you already KNOW you have that radio, skip this step and go right to step 3.
2. After flashing that rom when it comes to the part "tap here to align screen" : At that point instead of tapping here to align screen, do a soft reset. This will allow the customizations to NOT run.
3. Start flashing custom roms. If you don't like the one you flash, then just flash another, your bootloader and radio are good if you are on this step.
Just a note to anyone else, all you are doing is this:
1. Unlock with hardspl, 2.40 or 2.47
2. Upgrade radio to gps (this can be done by flashing that stock rom I supplied) or just putting the radio rom nbh on card and flashing.
3. Flash custom roms.

[Q] Urgent help needed please

Hi, I need some help from you guys, I'm a noob in these things, anyway I was on Windows mobile 6.5 (Not a T-mobile) , and thought about changing into an android. I found some tutorials on youtube, and tryied to do It exactly as It said. Ok, so I found this video on youtube with a link on It, I clicked It, which directed me to one website. I installed the Hard HSPL folowing the instructions, then It said to install a Windows Mobile ROM, I downloaded and installed "Chucky Droid Rom" and now my phone Is like in between the Windows and Android, some kind of weird screen like theres no OS on it. Then it says to download and put Android Rom into my SD card, after downloading "FroyoStone_Sense_V2", I also deleted everything from the SD card except the Android directory. After i push CLRCAD, I start "haret", but it just shows me very little text on top of the screen, which fades away in like 5 seconds. After that i get "Sleep of Death" the screen just keeps black, unless i restart my phone. I tryied to wait for like 40minutes hoping it will start somehow, but the situation didn't change... So can somebody please help me? How do i boot my phone to android, what should I do to get that penguin with a lot of flashing text on my phone instead of this "Sleep of Death" What am I doing wrong? Thanks for answer guys.

What is your intention with running Android, do you just want to experiment with it and use it as a dual boot, ie still have winmo and then boot to Android, or would you like to replace winmo with Android? If the first option, then you will need to flash a full winmo rom as AFAIK ChuckyDroid is an extremely light rom that basically just allows you to boot to an Android rom.
If your intention is to only run Android then you should be looking at the NAND Android roms as this replaces winmo totally and the phone boots straight to Android. If you would like to do this, then follow the link in my signature on Flashing NAND roms, it is a very good tutorial and gives you step by step instructions on what to do.

Does it work on European HD2? Because i think i have the problem, because my HD2 is not a T-mobile and i did everything as it said step by step, which would give directions for a T-mobile. I think thats the issue to the problem...

The process is practically the same the only difference is that with NAND TMOUS get more storage then EU HD2, unless you have EXT partition on SD card. Anyway what radio are you currently running this could be why android wont run off SD card.

Thanks for the help guys, after I installed the correct radio it works perfectly.

Firstly its "ROM" not "room".
What do you mean "with triangle" ??
Which HD2 do you have and which ROM did you try flashing?
Can you get into tri-color bootloader mode?

Sorry i post my thread quickly. Yes i tried to flash a ROM, i have HD2 512MB. I tried to flash a 3.14.405 rom. triangle - i can get in tri-color bootloader mode, but when i try also flash original rom there is no result, it crashes on 9 or 17%. Triangle is a sign when i switch on a device, i believe it means ther eis no windows/rom on device

your device is not bricked... get into bootloader and do a task 29 (LOOK IT UP)...
Then start from scratch... Magldr, then whatever ROM you want.

Can you explain me? Please step by step... Thanks in advance

Possible fix stuck bricked hd2 radio no rsa information
Please read the whole post first sorry about the mess it is my first post thanks to everyone here on xda who came up with everything i used to do this There is guides for this xda has a lovely list of tmous roms if you are on t mobile in the us http://www.xdafil.es/index.php?path=HD2/TMOUS/
i would start with the RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip
extract the .exe file if it has one than extract the RUU_signed.nbh from the .exe file using win war or 7 zip than rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on a newly formatted microsd not a microsdhc and i had problems with anything over class 4
place it in your phone and hold the volume down button and power button as loading comes up let off volume down power button will start the flash(i was only able to do complete flashes in the freezer if not it would hang or get radio errors)
i also had a tmous which did not want to flash the radio i would get an an error and rsa fail it sounds crazy but i wrapped it in plastic and stuck it in the freezer for a while before and during the flash this was the only way i could install the radio and actually see rgd information on boot screen after this first one you will have an old test rom with an old spl you cannot change to hspl from here i also was not able to go straight to 2.10, i had to step up from RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip, to RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip the same way i did the first one,hard resetting after each one and let it open windows completely to know it is working. than i believe there is an hspl3 file somewhere out there with all thanks to DarkForces Team HardSPL3 by bepe and Cotulla i will try to attach it that will work with spl 2.02 wich you should now be on now you can download your radio in the master radio thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
i also just renamed the ruu_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and ran through sd i seem to have problems through usb and i was trying to be careful with the radio
once you got the radio you want you could flash the rom preferably running task 29 before or get yourself magldr to install through nand i also stuck my laptop an the freezer with the phone to get wp7 completely installed i did all this mess with a phone that had a broken screen i think there is like thermal compound over the processor to the case that is not on right and overheats when not in the operating system like a crappy old laptop with its fans full of stuff trying to install xp. and while a stock rom was being installed the usb was pulled during the radio installation i hope this helps i belive i saw one post to stick it in the freezer out of everything that i think helped the most.i also notice i have to put it in the freezer at boot too sometimes or i will get a fatal hit error i think its just over heating..... i also have an hd2 which has never been opened before that i have never had to stick in the freezer it gets flashed quite abit right now running gingerbread on normal hd2 and wp7 dual boot android 2.2 on the one i had to freeze i hope this helps i was here for weeks reading reading i was stumped cus my first hd2 and g1 were so eazy i will update this post once i stop being lazy and open the phone again to replace the goop to see if that is the problem
Thank you for reading my jumble and thanks again to all you phone heads here on xda which without you none of this would be possible and i would not have wp7 and gingerbread on my hd2 : D

I did a task29, flash a ROM succesfully, but now it' s stucked in HTC loading mode (Shows a HTC and nothing happens)

no luck at all I tried it once and have succesfull rom update, but it stucks when started with HTC logo, i tried second time and still no luck. Please help me.. all the time now also for original rom it says that this room is not for that device

original rom
you have to find the original rom shipped with your phone like here i am tmobile usa roms you have to find your carrier and country and start with one of the first ones i started with my second one RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip and i kept getting stuck screens when it was hot turn it off maby find some silica gel (lil rocks that come with everything to absorb water) wrap it in plastic and throw it in the freezer does the back of the phone get real hot during flash

i have shipped original rom, still no luck

not the newest one
you need one of the first test roms this was the only way i got mine to work i had to go from 2.02 to 2.03 to 2.05 hard resetting after each install making sure they completely went in what carrier are you and where are you

Still stuck?
Download HSPL 3.zip from page 1,
Run the program;
a) select 2.08.000 (not HSPL) and you can flash stock (HTC) ROM with no damage or aftermarket changes on your phone.
b) select 2.08.HSPL and you can flash whatever you want
Install MAGLDR 1.13
Flash ROM
Make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY. You can find these all over XDA, look at all of my posts if you need to.

Hi, thanks a lot. Only, SPL for original rom was 1.42000 is it ok to flash with 2.08.000 ? And why i should install MAGLDR 1.3 ? Thanks in advance,

Ok, now i dont understand anything. My original SPL was 1.42, i did Hardspl 3, after that tried flash original rom, process stuck on 96%, after that i tried once again stuck on 9% and says rom not compatible with device. And its like a hidden circle, my phone is acting like that all the time. I tried task29, tried all HSPL, also 1.4200, 1.66 and so on. Can anybody help me? my skype nick is martins.prieditis , maybe someone can assist me?

Ok now its fixed. I did a HSPL4, due to which original rom freeze on 0%, but 3.14 didnt start up on loading OS (white screen with HTC logo))or freeze on 99%. Than went back to shipped 1.42, stock room succesfylly flashed and did a SSPL_RUU. Now the only problem is that my LEO restarts when it gets hot. Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks all for youre help (regarding my previous issue) !

Overheating??
As mrpoe stated in post 9, One of his phone had to be put in the freezer to be able to flash anything otherwise it will get hot and freeze.
Also the motherboard is most likely broken and you cannot get it to work without freezing or it will keep rebooting...
The best thing to do if you still have warranty is to Keep stock SPL and stock WM6.5 and return for warranty.
It will not function the same again.

[Q] Need Help - Android snag

Hi all - I'm in a bit of trouble.
Tried changing the OS to Android and must have made a mistake somewhere along the line.
Was using ROM update utility MAGDLR V1.13 and got as far as updating the ROM Was told that the screen should go black and if it didn't, then I needed to perform a reset.
I did this and now the screen just shows the htc logo on white background.
Irish phone - got it august '10. recently upgraded ROM from HTC site to version 3.14.405.2 but not sure now whether I've wrecked it completely.
Was just sick of WinMo and wanted a change - can anyone help please?
ND

boot into bootloader and start again. do you have hspl? right radio?
get into bootloader. flash magldr. then flash nandroid.

you probably need to downgrade the rom to get to hspl 2.08

Thanks - I got the correct HSPL and installed it on the phone, that part was fine. The problem now is that the handset isn't even acknowledging when it's plugged in. And when I connect via USB, the computer isn't registering any connection to it.
I think it's toast! The only thing I can see is a white background with green htc lettering i.e. welcome screen
Thanks for getting back to me, any other ideas?
Will I be able to reload original windows back on by myself?

Try windows 7 XP sucks doing this kind of stuff

Any help greatly appreciated

Can you get to bootloader?
(power on while holding vol. down)........
If so, get to bootloader then connect via usb. The word serial at the bottom of the screen should change to USB. This sometimes takes a few minutes (for me anyway)
Once it reads "USB" flash a WM6.5 Rom in the usual way.......
If you cant get to bootloader then theres a good chance you've somehow borked your device......

Thanks everyone and in particular jsmmcabe and conantroutman
I got into bootloader and I'm trying to reinstall the windows os from there.
will let you know how I get on,
thanks again guys - lifesavers

I should have mentioned that flashing a stock 6.5 rom will wipe HSPL.
If you flash a stock rom then you will need to reinstall HSPL before attempting any MAGLDR/NAND shenanigans... (sheNANDigans?? see what I did there )
If you flash a custom ROM from XDA then your HSPL will be ok......
Also should have mentioned the age old "NO .51. radios on a tmous" advice.........
Good luck.......

Well after all of that I went to Pirate Bay, downloaded an Android 2.2 file, copied it onto my SD card and ran it.
Hey presto, I have an Android Phone!
I cannot begin to tell you how much better it is. It's fast, it doesn't freeze, the whole interface is much cleaner and easier to use.
SNAG ITEM:
Tried doing the same with a friends phone and when activating the copied files from the SD card, the thing just hangs and I have to reset the phone.
Any idea why it worked on mine and not his?
Same phone, bought in Ireland, a week apart. Different mobile operator networks though..... I'm Vodafone, he's O2 - weird, no?

Could be its not booting because of an incompatible radio....
must be above 2.08.50..... you can find this info in settings about phone...
Also, why download android from the piratebay???
Everything android related you could possibly need is here on XDA.
Personally Id be suspicious of anything from a site like that. Theres no way of knowing whats in that Rom. I would change to a well used and trusted build from XDA if I were you.
Theres no exact science to getting this running on different phones, what works for one may not work for another......
