I would reload another version of android but i don't know how to
Thanks for all the help
First post woohooo
Have you tried overwriting it with your google mail account? its advised to have one for the phone security
I've signed in with my own account but it dosent replace it pt anything it still asks for the original owners password which I don't have -_-
Depending on the bootloader... If Magldr you can check if recovery (clockwork) was installed.. If so you can just press and hold the power key to enter MAGLDR then to AD Recovery from there you can load a new Android zip and install or do a factory install .. I'm not familiar with Clk but either way go to the Android nand section and there you will find tutorials and much more helpful stuff then the general section

Whennyou turn on the phone the first screen you see should be HTC or some other image (boot screen) after that the bootloader is shown... In mot cases its magladr or a black screen with MAGLDR at the top then Android is started up... So to get into the bootloader or magldr when you statup the phone press and hold the power button to stop Android from starting and send you into the bootloader menu

I was having the same issues, the account of the old user couldnt be reset. And reset from factory from bot or directly from the menus were not working. But with the bootloader it works.
Thank you so much!
I have inherited an HD2 and don't seem to be able to remove the main google account from it. I have done a hard reset in MAGLDR 1.1, then upgraded to MAGLDR 1.3 and tried again, but to no avail - the account remains, meaning no Market for me.
Does anyone have any ideas where to go from here?
If I stick a new ROM on it will that work? (there is nothing on the phone that I want to keep).

I have google and read the other threads regarding to resetting problem. I tried to transform my hd2 into an android phone but I accidentally installed ruu.exe first than custom ruu. I wanted to start the process over but I cannot reset the phone. Anyway, now there is no "security" tab in my "setting" so I could not reset it. I tried holding down the volume button and then briefly pushing the power button but nothing appears. The reason why I want to reset it because the phone has an Android look but it is colorless and extremely limited.
I don't know what else to do but come to the experts. Can you help me out? Thanks
Pull the battery cover off and then use a small item to push the red button on the lower left side of the phone, next to micro sd slot. This is the soft reset button.
I did that but the phone did not restore to the factory condition. It still has an android appearance.
How can I get rid of Chucky Rom?
When doing a factory reset you have to push down volume up and down at the same time THEN while holding it, push the power button then once the reset starts press power button down I think to complete it

Oh and by the way if you're doing the restore it will only restore your phone back to the custom rom you put on it.... to get it back to factory purchase rom, you need to reflash a stock rom

How do I reflash a stock rom? Thanks for helping and having patience.
Search for one in the hd2 rom section make sure its compatible with your version of the hd2 ie: European or tmous then download it.. make sure you're sycd with windows mobile program on your pc then run the ruu program and let the flash complete... then you are good to go

Impossible to launch Bootloader from Android, so i've no idea how you could acess to boot loader, the only one solution is that DFT release the V1.2 with bootloader option!
you are screwed. how do your buttons not work. if they are broken because of a hardware problem then why not just go ahead and get another phone why put up with that hassle forever

Hello,
My htc hd2 won't start anymore.
When I press the on button it first goes to the Green HTC HD2 letter screen, then the NAND bootingscreen with this text:
aMAGLDR V1.11
by cotulla 2010
booting android from NAND
ANDROID LOAD at **********
From nand
blablabla
etc etc
LOAD DONE!
12345
GO GO GO
And at the end an Android logo with HTC HD2 underneath it.
and then it's starts all over again.
How can I fix this? or restore everything back to the basics of android?
I dont know anymore specs from the Nand build
only it has the CyanogenMod on it and it's Gingerbread.
Plz can anyone help me, I'm gonna fly tomorrow to the States for holydays so I very appreciate it if anyone can help me before I'm gone.
(I'm sorry for my bad english!)

constantly rebooting a few seconds into the sequence is sometimes down to a bent battery pin. check them carefully. Failing that id suspect a fresh flash is in order.
I have a bent battery pin indeed. but i have it since the third day i bought this phone (1,5 years ago).
How do i make a fresh flash ? :$
Before fresh flash .. what has made your Android fall into a bootloop? have you flashed anything via cwm recently? that could be it.
nope did nothing. only thing i did was putting my sd card in my comp, and after that first some apps didn't work correctly, but that happens me all the time. so i reboot and so it all started ...
Can u guys give me a working link to android on the hd2..i only want to boot from sd
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Ok,
You didn't turn off your device, you removed the sd card immediately (or unmounted it from settings), right?
You have data2sd enabled on your build, or apps2sd?
Try to remove sd-card and then boot...
If above ddn't work, try to reflash your build through cwm (without wiping data, which will only restore your system to original state) ..
Report back ...

@Marvlesz; yes i unmounted it from settings, and im using apps2sd
without sdcard he still wont start normally...
could you explain how i do the reflash?
with the volume button down and then start it up it also stays on the colored screen...
I'm sorry but I'm very newbie @ this stuff.
It depends on how you flashed this ROM in the beginning .. ( I assume you did it through cwm)
So get to the website of this rom and download it again (or pass if you have it on your pc)
bootup your phone while holing nothing but the power button, phone will remain on aMAGLDR and won't boot into Android.
Go to option 8. AD Recovery (using volume rockers) and press Green button (dial) ..
A black screen with orange text will appear, remove your sd and put it into your pc, copy your ROM's Zip file and return sd to phone.
Go to "install zip from sd" .. choose second option, and choose the rom.. then hit yes. After it's done, hit on reboot.
Report back ..
Hi. im sorry i didnt listened to you :O
I saw the menu and did the hard reset, everything is gone, but i dont mind, im glad he is working fine again
Thanks for your help!
lol, Im sorry to hear that you lost your information ... I recommend doing NANDROID backups from time to time (from orange menu) as well as apps backups with (titanuim backups) .. even if you messed up with the system files, you still can get it back ..
Anyway Im glad that you phone has come back to life..

im having a problem with my HTC HD2
im having pretty much the same problem..everytime i try to turn it on it loads up all the way to the occupy together screen then it just starts back over again. so i left it on the charger and let it charge for a whole night and its still doing the same thing. i've tried to do a hard reset but my volume down button doesnt work =/ is there something i can download or is there an update that i need for it to work again?! SOMEONE HEEELP!
Hey guys.
I have a bricked HTC HD2 here. I installed Android 2.2 on it, and it ran fine for a long time. But a few days ago, it got stuck in a bootloop. It gets stuck on the Android logo and doesn't get past that point at all.
What I've tried (in chronological order):
1. AD Hardreset from aMAGLDR: erased all data, but didn't fix the problem. Kept going in bootloop.
2. AD Recovery: Failed. Doesn't get past the "GO GO GO!!"
3. Repair aMAGLDR using HD2 NAND toolkit: tried repairing (150MB partition size) and installing Clockwork Mod (150MB). Same exact results when trying to get into AD recover. Only diffrence is that I now don't have a ROM on my NAND anymore.
4. Install a diffrent rom: Tried a few of them, but they all keep getting stuck on their bootlogo (HTC, Android, ...).
5. Restore STOCK ROM WM6.5: I'd love to, but I can't get into the three-colors-bootscreen. It goes straight to aMAGLDR, even when I boot holding the right buttons (volume down + power [both short click and long hold]). I had set up the ROM files correctly on the SD card.
6. Install the STOCK ROM using the HD2 NAND TOOL: after going to USB Flash mode and installing the default microsoft drivers (it didn't want to accept the Google Android drivers or HTC drivers I downloaded earlier), the flash utility keeps getting stuck on ERROR 264: CONNECTION. The only thing I can do in the HD2 NAND UTILITY is repair aMAGLDR. Other options result in the same error. Task29 can't find the phone either.
Bottom line, I cannot (ABSOLUTELY not) get into the tri color boot screen. It sends me straight to magldr. Also, my volume buttons are working just fine.
I really don't know what to do anymore. I hope someone can help me, any help would be greatly appreciated
Did you try this?
Download an original win 6.5 ROM for your HTC device from HTC webside.
- Take "RUU_signed.nbh" from an original ROM and copy it to your SD card.
- Rename to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset your device while pressing the volume down button

Did you even read the OP's post, clearly I think not. The OP says several times that they can not get the device to the multicolor WINCE bootloader.Without being ably to boot into the bootloader they can notflash via SD card.
At the OP you can stop trying to flash via USB flasher in MAGLDR, it is only for flashing Android RIMs, WP7 ROMs, and Custom Android recoveries. If you are positive your volume down button works then you probably have some bad NAND blocks, but that is just a guess, with out access to the bootloader you are pretty much only left with flashing Android or WP7 via USB flasher in MAGLDR.
That's problematic... The HD2 NAND utility can't flash any ROMs, since the utility can't find the device (error 264).
I've tried 8 diffrent ROMS (from http://android.hd2roms.com/) by putting them on the SD card and use the "AD SD boot" function, but none of them can get past their bootlogo... All ROMs keep hanging on HTC / Android logos. Some of them used to work in the past, I recall...
Here, try these fixes and read the WHOLE POST :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21725062&postcount=7
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, none of the solutions worked. The battery pins were indeed bent, but after putting them back in place, the problem persisted.
I left my phone powered down all night and tried booting it in bootloader this morning. It didn't work. So that rules out solution 3 awell.
I've even put it in the freezer for half an hour (solution 5), but nothing changed.. Browsed through the last thread aswell, but there was no stuff I haven't tried yet. I can't even start tetris, since it keeps hanging on a blank screen aswell
The guy in solution #4 was facing the same issue (I think).
Especially the second part of the solution, where he talks to the OP. Read it carefully, and check out the post and thread he referred to.
Holy freakin..
After reading various threads through links in the one you suggested, I stumpled upon something called American Android. I was able to install it through the USB Flasher. Guess what, it booted PERFECTLY!!
My phone works again, thank you VERY much!!

and then you can try an android rom again..
Another solution?
I had the exact same problem. And I am under the impression that there is no solution for every case. But for me it worked to press the volume down button very softly. I tended to push the button as hard as I could, however when I only pressed the volume down button slightly it went straight to the triboot color.
Hopefully this works for some of you.
Can someone help?
Hi,I want to refresh post, becouse i have exact same problem - can't get to serial bootloader, and in MAGLDR i can use only the USB FLASHER option. If someone could tell me how to flash any new rom only through FLASHER ? Last thing i can say: my problem started from installing this app from google Play play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livelogcat.lite (sry for that, but I can't post URL yet) it might messed up my kernel and i have no idea what to do.
Model number: HTC Desire A8181 (According to abaaaabbbb63 it's a HTC HD2, with a ROM ported from the Desire)
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: 15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-g66f6ed7-dirty
[email protected] #2
Build number: 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
Software number: 2.29.405.5
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
I recently acquired a HTC Desire A8181 from a friend yesterday. It was his, so he of course did a Factory Reset under the Settings option, thinking everything was deleted he gave it to me. Well nothing got deleted, not the messages, Google account, apps he's installed, nothing except the contacts. So naturally, I manually deleted all the apps it let me and messages, along with adjusting some settings to my liking.
Well now my problem is his Google account won't delete no matter how many times I've Factory Reset the phone (6 times now), and even when I go to 'Accounts & Sync' to remove account it says I need to Factory Reset the phone because it's required by some applications, but that does nothing at all.
So then I look up how to go into Recovery Mode by holding the Volume Down button and turn the phone on, well it doesn't go into Recovery Mode, all it does is give me a screen that's 1/4 Red, 1/4 Green, 1/4 Blue, and 1/4 White with numbers and letters on the screen. I can't do anything except take the battery to get off that screen.
All I want is for the phone to be like when it first was taken out of the box. I want to feel stupid when the first screen that comes up is how to use the phone, and set up a Google account for the phone. I mean, I can't even get into the Play Store. If you need more information, just ask me and I'll provide it.
What bootloader are you using? (When you boot up the phone, do you see aMagldr written at the top then android boots, or you see nothing but the boot animation?)
If the former, hold down the END key, then go to "AD recovery" (using volume keys and CALL key to confirm), then go into factory reset.
If the latter, depending on the version, we need to know which version you have. Hold down the BACK key when booting up the device and tell us what you see (exactly as it appears).

It says aMAGDLR V1.11, when I boot up holding the BACK key, it doesn't do anything either.

I told you if you have MAGLDR, hold the END key while booting, then follow what I said earlier.
Edit:
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. @op I'm sorry for the wrong info, never mind my posts, just follow what Nigel's said.

I don't think MAGLDR 1.11 supports custom recoveries so he can't do that. OP, just consult the guide in my sig and use it to flash MAGLDR 1.13, CWM and a custom ROM. None of your friend's data will remain on the device.
Thank you to the both of you guys. I honestly had no idea phones could be hacked. Looking around these forums (and using your sig) I finally flashed it back to Window's 6.5 with no data remaining from my friend. Appreciate the help, I pushed thanks for the both of you guys.
