Hi again guys. I dont know if i ralle can use the term bricked or not, but i guess so. After a funny day with a couple reboot and new "radio" image my Legend want start anymore. The screen is just black, even if i hold down vol down/up and power. So the big question.... Is this phone bricked? If so, can i fix it?
EDIT: The LED does not even respond when charger is plugged in.
Sorry for the lack of English.
if it is bricked - try this.
I dont even get to fastboot The phone is completely dead/black
Are you S-OFF? I've never known a S-ON Legend be completely bricked like that!
No i'm still S-ON because of the d*** HBOOT 1.01
Only thing i've done so far is root+CM7. And yesterday when i played around with ROM Manager i had to remove the battery upon a crash.
Apparently same problem as here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096083
This is really weird...

I think you are in trouble...
RomManager is maybe the source of your problems, what did you do with ?
Did you have errors during the radio installation process ? and which radio were you flashing ?
Here the story. I rooted my phone and switch to CM7 and notice that my GPS did not work with stock radio verision (dont remember wich) I upgraded to 7.08.35.21 and the GPS finally workt again with some minor interrups. Did some reading and decided to upgrade again to 7.13.35.05.
The installation went well untill the end. A picture was shown, a mailbox lookalike with an arrow pointing at a foolish looking droid dude. The only thing i could do was to remove the battery, after that the phone was dead.

Is it still under warranty? (Obviously not as you're rooted, but would it be if you weren't rooted?) If so, try sending it to HTC they might just replace it if they can't see for themselves that you're rooted!
If you says its a firmware update that caused the phone to not turn on they just JTAG it without checking,reflash the latest update (and sadly HBOOT) and send it back

ok but they could ask what update and stuff possibly just thinking i might ring them soon whats the worse thing that could happen if they work it out? Just out of question?

They will send it back unfixed and say the warranty is void. Even if they know its rooted they might still fix it for you, it depends.
It's my fault that the phone is broken and i'm willing to take that blame A clean conscience makes me sleep better at night
I dont know how it is in the rest of the world, but in my country there is a high fee if they notice that the owner has done something with the firmware etc. Thanks anyway for all the respons and help, and remember guys, stay away from Rom manager
You only have to say that it said update available then when it restarted it did this.. If they say anythign after its been sent then just plead ignorance.Its not like they cant afford to repair one phone

well i'm going to say something like that. Generally because my phone was buggered before then (signal problems and locking into airplane mode) though i'm rooted i still wouldn;t think i'd get away with it
does it matter if the root is S-ON i'm just thinking off my chances
PM sent, I can fix hard bricked Legends with JTAG.

Hi Guys, i have a strange Problem since a couple of days.
The touch HD turns itself off after some minutes. I have to take out the battery and put it back in, otherwise it will not turn on...
i have:
- deactivated automatic shut down in power settings
- deactivated today timeout
- tried hardreset
- tried another rom (currently dutties final)
no success :-(
i have absolutlely no clue what could cause this and how i can fix it...
help is highly appreciated.
hello there , actually maby its a virus or there is problem in SPL
Try to install again the SPL modified and tell me
best regards
ms4cah
unlikely it has anything to do with SPL. it was fine for months, i had not flashed or installed anything.
it seams dead now by the way. i cannot turn it on again.
i also tried a new battery. it doesnt even charge, no light at the power button. nothing.

Sounds like a warranty claim
I am getting the same problem!! is there anything i can do to fix this? anyone figured out the reason?
I had this sort of problem.
The HD would hang, then switch off, then to get back on I had to remove the battery for a while. Sometimes it worked after a minute, other times I had to leave the battery disconnected for longer.
So I performed a hard reset and it switched itself off during boot (after successfully resetting).
Battery out for a while.
H/R once more. Again crashed during boot but not at the same point as previous.
Tried a different battery with a full charge - same result.
Tried to re-flash a "very popular" custom ROM with USPL. Got to 1% and error. This was because the HD had crashed..
Tried to flash the official HTC ROM and it got to 15% and error. HD crash.
So I have contacted HTC and they are sending a courier to collect it so they can take a look with a view to repairing it.
The last ROM I successfully loaded about 2 weeks prior to the start of my problems was a custom win mo 6.5 rom. As I couldn’t get it to a stable state - I couldn’t flash the official HTC ROM.
I’ve convinced myself it’s a hardware fault rather than any software damage..
Although I fear I’ll be in for some bad news.
mine too
Hi,
I have the same problem.
Mine was doing hard reset and after a day or two the same problem.
Now I cannot turn it on.
I will send it to htc...
Crossing my fingers.
I had the same problem with mine...
While turned on, it automaticly tryed to turn of, as if something was pressing the on/off buttom. Everytime that message for turning it off poped up and I just couldn't control the on/off button anymore.
I tryed everything and nothing worked. It really seemed a hardware and warranty claim issue. However, since I bought it abroad and it does not have warranty here in Brazil, I just decided to sell it (obviously warning the buyer about the issue) and to buy another one (which is working as a charm).
It is a hardware issue, for sure...
So my HD has been away at HTC for nearly a week, and im currently tracking its return journey, due to land back here at some point this morning.
I have had no contact from HTC so its going to be a suprise as to whether anything has been repaired.
My hope was they couldn't turn it on at all - thus replacing the bits n bobs inside, replacing the main board containing my 6.5 ROM.
So for now im hoping "no news will be good news", but I will update this when I have it back.
... I've the same problem...
Hi, I've the same problem. Do you have any solutions?

Just recieved delivery. The service report states:
1. Diagnosis
2. Replace Main Board
3. Function Test
Result
Confirms it was a H/W fault and my "flashing" did not effect the warranty status. That may have been because they couldnt get far enough to confirm so.

Other than a Warranty repair, im afraid not. Try your best to get it back to HTC official software, then report it as no power / cant boot.

Good to know, confirmed h/w issue
i simply deactivated automatic shut down in power settings as mentioned in the first post and unistalled a couple of new programs i had recently installed!!
Not quite sure which of the above worked.. but atleast for now it seems to be working fine!! the screen has not turned off by itself and i have not had to remove battery etc to get it to work again!
I'm not quite sure if the problem is properly fixed but it has been a few days since anything occurred!! so fingers crossed!!
mine was doing this last tuesday, each time i went into my pocket for it, it was turned off, then i hard to do the reset pin or remove the battery, it has been ok since, i just thought, maybe it was me, pushing it in my jeans i might be turning it off.
also using duttys popular 6.5 latest rom, i dont think its fair to blame his rom, as mines ok now, maybe i should reflash it again?? im still waiting for a new version to be released.... JESUS!!! just looked it up to r12, im on r9 .
oh no... no it not..... says to go here, and it will be released here and not on dutty throy???

FYI, Throy is releasing roms exclusively to HTCPedia now, so no future roms will be released on either XDA or www.duttythroy.com
wow!!! i never knew!!!! thats crazy as his own site duttythroy wont be used.
im getting it now, but only 11 when it says 12 is out, either way, i will still flash i love the roms, i will be sure to be on all the site, incase theres another change of heart??
anyway guys i will report if i noticed the shutdown thing happening again with the version. 4mins till downloaded.....
I think theres a couple of different issues here. My own problem was due to faulty parts in the hardware itself. Absolutley nothing to do with any ROM, only reason I mentioned them was because of the invalid warranty possibility.
If your problem was ROM related, Im sure in the relevant ROM thread, there would be many people (everyone) with the same issue. Thats not to say that its not some sort of conflicting software you may have installed after the ROM flash.
Some simple troubleshooting steps:
1. Hard reset - If it still has a problem...
2. Flash Official HTC ROM - If still a problem...
Phone HTC.
All the best, hope you manage to get something to work for you. I know how lost I felt without mine!

Your exactly right. Some people experience similar symptoms which are rom related others have same problem which is hardware related. One can only be fixed by HTC as motherboard problem, other can be rectified by different means without having to send device back for repairs
Hi again,
Today I have received an sms from HTC service informing me that my HD has a circuit problem and they will fix it without any charge.
I have to wait.
okay so i flashed my unbranded HD2 phone many times over with chuckydroid rom and used shubCrafts build on my phone.
now my friend wanted android on his Tmobile HD2 phone also so i flashed his with chuckydroid rom and then with mattC's android with sense. turns out he de didnt like it and wanted to switch back to the stock rom.
now i acidentally flashed an unbranded HD2 stock rom back onto his Tmobile HD2 instead of the stock Tmobile rom and now its bricked. (wasnt thinking because ive done it this way with my phone all the time not even thinking that his was a different model)
light doesnt turn on when charged. cant even get into bootloader. phone doesnt work. i DID FLASH HSPL3 before it got bricked so iono if that helps any if any at all...
i feel really bad right now. can someone please help?
im sorry to say i think the phone is bricked for good...that's if the international ROM you flashed included a radio....it most probably was a .51 radio that is not compatible with t-mobile us hd2....

I don't have a suggestion to unbrick the phone, but I do for a reasonable price on a replacement. I bought my T-Mo branded HD2 a few months ago for $225 off Craigslist. I just checked locally (Portland) and there's three listed today at or under $250.....and sorry for your friends loss.

i cant flash another rom because his device wont even turn on. its dead as a rock. can i return this for warranty? i flashed HSPL3 before flashing it back to the original (but wrong) rom.
is the HSPL3 still in the device meaning i cant return it? or like first poster said, the new radio is now on the device? meaning im still able to return it?
Well if it won't turn on then they won't be able to see its unlocked.. as for a solution did u try manual bootload (volume up + down and press power and keep holding volume up and down) that should get u into bootload if it doesn't then its a different issue.

You could try to flash the official tmou rom via SDCard. Just use a card reader, place the rom at the root of the card, put the card back in phone, hold volume key down + power and you *might* be able to get back to bootloader.
The issue here is that if you flashed official (non tmou) rom from the sdcard when you bricked it, it might have removed the HSPL. From what I can recall, official roms flashed from sdcard will wipe hspl.
It's worth giving it a shot. In any case, I just received an EDM from microsoft through my hotmail acct where they are doing a buy 1 get 1 free for the HD2. Might want to check it out. I'm tempted to take them up on it and have 3 HD2's.

you said it doesnt even charge... check the battery if is properly installed that happened to me once and got scared. just double check.
INSURANCE
If he has insurance on the phone just call tmobile say that the hd2 wont turn on anymore! You have no clue how it happened ! They will send a replacement! Then he has to send his phone back within a week of receiving the new one! It does have a one year warrenty but if u have to send the phone in to htc they will probably know u bricked it and void the warranty! Tmobile is really cool about warranty's so try to get one from them even if its refurbished and then leave it stock!!
The ROM probably had a .51 radio like the last post said.
When you flash a .51 on a TMOUS HD2 you lose. Game over.
well my phone was stuck ina bootloop kinda thing... if i conected it to a charger it wud turn on and keep restarting on me, if i removed batery while still plugged in it wudnt respond nor charge... i fixed it by leaving it like that for a few minites then i un pluged and held down volume roker as i pluged in to acces bootloader and flashed a diff rom
hmm this sucks try what the others said with the volume keys and report back. This makes me think it would be cool if the developers created a pandora battery like service battery and memory stick for the hd2 as how people brought back bricked psps to life with those methods, would be so awesome then we wouldn't have to really worry about stupid crap like this !
yes. im dumb. it was a .51 radio. doesnt turn on. i did it to my own phone so many times and it just became repetitive when i was flashing his phone that i didnt even stop to think that it was a TMobile model. and yes the power button + volume button is not working since MY PHONE (originally his phone since i have to give him my phone now) doesnt have power.
so my best bet right now is to return it to tmobile and not HTC correct?
The only way to unbrick your phone is whit a jtag interface , ( http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/htc-hd2-repair-guide , http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f47...z-jtag-pinouts-htc-topaz-repair-file-1047977/ ) but maybe this kind of tools are illegal in some countries.
Check Copper battery contacts
Hey mate, I had the same issue you did. I took the battery out often during my flashing and once it stopped responding ie. not charging not turning on etc.
I checked where the battery sat and found one of the copper contacts (I think there are 3 spring-like ones) was stuck inwards and therefor not offering or receiving power.
Give that a shot buddy. good luck
Sucks, but at least you swapped phones with him. If the phones under warranty give T-Mobile a call, tell them it wont turn on...but you might want to have your buddy handle it (he is the original owner I hope?) since the phone should be on his account.

Quick side note, I don't necessarily agree that you owe this guy a phone. If you flashed it as a favor, then I think that all risks associated with the flash were his just as if he flashed it himself. There is an implied risk even when flashing the correct ROM/Radio etc, and if he didn't want to take the time to learn how to do it himself, you shouldn't be held 100% liable. If he is a good friend, then it would be a nice gesture to go in with him on a craigslist replacement (I too got mine for $225).
Now if he paid you for the service, then yeah, you owe him a phone.

I did the same thing, phone went into a boot loop, and I thought Id bricked it, copper contact was slightly bent and causing it, make sure the copper contacts are pointing straight up in the battery compartment, it could save ya a warranty return

I completely agree, unless he's a n00b and you didn't explain that there were any potential dangers.
Just as another side note, if I'm doing anything for a friend that involves firmware flashing of any kind whatsoever, just say.
"Look I'm happy to do this, however there is always a risk involved in that your phone might die! It's rare, but are you happy for me to proceed?"
Always gets me out of potentially tricky situations! Stick those caveats in before it's too late
In my opinion you owe him a phone unless you told him about the risk and asked if he was willing to try it.. I would still feel sick to my stomach over him buying a new phone himself.. Another point is that the "risk" didn't damage the phone, your obliviousness did..
It sucks, but I would try to get him a used phone and pay the cost.. and accepted it if he offered to pay parts of it
Last night I flashed radio Leo_radio_2.11.50.26_2.rar (which came from the safe radio rom thread) to my htc hd2 and since my phone wont light back up. It bloops twice in rapid succession when I plug it into the pc. The phone has no lights no sound no nothing. Ive tried hitting the reset and holding down on vlume, tried holding both volumes and power etc. I can not get a boot loader menu, just tried flash a rom straight to it and it says there is no connection to the phone. I got the Radio rom from this forum I get error connection 260 when trying to flash anything which means no connection to the phone.
I think this radio rom bricked the phone however thats a safe radio number to use on a US phone I dont get it. Reason I was trying different Radios is because no matter what I did the phone with a tmobile sim in it always had a ! for signal with a tmob sim in it. Worked fine with an att sim.
Anything you could suggest to help unbrick this would be very helpful...
windows also sees it as a qualcomm cdmw technologies mvm other device now and wont load drivers for it. If this helps so my pc isnt even picking it up anymore. I think Im boned.
ugh.....anyone?
ok am not to good with this but just want to know when your charging your phone up do you see a blinking green and red lite,
no lights now it just sits.
Can you boot it up in to Bootloader Mode (the tri-coloured screen)?

no actually went through just fine but never came back on once it finished flashing.
that's weird. It should have been safe. Can you warranty claim it? you might have to go through htc, but it should be under warranty for 1 year.

That is weird. I tried that same radio a long time ago (before I switched to 2.12.50.xx). But, vapor, you're not the first. Another user, m0bmentality (I don't remember if this is his exact s/n), bricked his T-Mobile USA HD2 by flashing the radio I'm using. So this is really weird since these radios are considered "safe" for the T-Mobile USA HD2.
The only problem you'll have with warranty is if HTC manages to revive the phone and find out you HSPL'd it. But that's unlikely; they'd rather just give you another HD2.
so my mytouch 4g wont turn on even with a different battery. i plug it it in and it gives me a flash on th screen but thats it. any suggestion without sending it in
Take it to a tmo store, they'll swap it.
I got it off of Craigslist I think it was previously tampered with

so i was in the process of doing a custom splash screen last night. i went through all the instructions on how to push the custom splash through terminal. everything went how the instructions said, but once i reboot it my phone turned off and never came back on. it doesnt power on, boot into recovery, nothing! i put the phone to charge and the red light comes on on the top left but when i take it off the charger it stays on.
i been rooted for about a month now and i was running cm7 build 8 when this happened. i just want to see if anybody has any idea on what going on. i tired everything i can think of. taking out the battery and normally powering on and nothing. taking off the battery and volume down and power to boot into recovery and nothing. taking off the battery, sd card, sim, putting back the battery and doing both normal power on and to boot into recovery and nothing.
First of all you just hijacked the guys old dead thread and second it sound like you just bricked your phone. As there is boot animation and there is slash screen. Seems like you flashed wrong thing. If the screen don't even turn on its dead then.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
Don't flame the poor guy! He's got it bad enough as is! And he didn't flash the "wrong thing" there are several threads on flashing splash screens in this phone's forum. Cut the guy some slack. He knows it may be bricked, he's just hoping it's not. And he was hoping for someone to provide some possible help. Not be be given **** for not opening a new thread.
i thread jacked because the thread was old and didnt want to clutter by starting a new one when im having some what the same problem. but no i pushed the splash image. i had already flashed a boot animation a few day back. i had call of android running on my phone as a boot animation. i just want to know is theres other methods of reaching hboot or recovery.
First of all don't put words in my mouth as my post does not contain any flame, second when I said wrong thing I meant he may not have meet the requirement for the splash image if he did correctly then obviously he would have had it up and running. Best thing for him would be going back to the original thread where he downloaded the image and asking the OP and troubleshoot it but at this point its to late all he can do now is warn others.
But if his phone is not old lol he can social engineer and play the victim card and send it back to HTC but first would be trying TMo saying he didn't get the POST OTA as he had PRE OTA and when he try to install the OTA it went blank and act like he has no idea what is going on, as he simply just want the phone to work or he will cancel service and do acting best of his life.
i already know i probably super bricked it. becuase ive bricked it before but not like this. i was able to fix it very quickly before. its like if the phone just doesnt have a battery. im just going to wait to see if anybody else has any more input. if not ill head to the tmo store see what they can do.

I do apologize for using the word flame. It was too strong. But I get fired up when people criticize instead of offering insight. If you had posted the above paragraph first, I wouldn't have had any issues. This is good and viable option. Albeit a last resort, but much better than criticizing for thread jacking. And I am the OP of the thread that he's using and am doing EVERYTHING I can to help him figure out a way to get this resolved.

ok, I just got caught up on your issue. I am going to do a little research and see if I can come up with anything to maybe help. Do you have adb set up? What recovery are you running?
Same thing happened to me, flashed a rom rebooted and the phone never turned on again.
thanx every one for trying to help. i tried everything i can think of and i could not get that phone to power on at all. it was completely dead. so i went to the tmo store by my pad and they gave me a brand new one. now i just need to gain s=off on this one which i cant do for some reason. i dont know why since it was fairly easy to gain s=off on my other mt4g. ill figure out though.

Hi.
I had the same problem on my htc glacier (mytouch 4g) which was turn it on, stuck on the htcwelcome screen, keep loading and then turn off automatically. My phone is rooted and cusome flashed to the new htc 3.0 sense when this happened, i did a back up and restore to the oem mytouch sense and now it is working just perfectly. So if your phone is rooted you might give it a shot and hope it will work again
i had same prob kinda
i flashed a rom was useing it for a week and today i went to use camera and while camera was loaded the screen shut off like not beining used it did the crt thing and all then it wouln't come out of it so i pulled battary after like 5 min of a lighted black screen and went to power phone back on and nothing like no batt.....
anyways what i was geting to is that i called tmoble and they said it sounded like a hardware problem if you can plug it in to wall or car charger and nothing.. when i plug it into a usb on pc i get
hsusbs or something so u all might want to look into that.
i have s mytouch 4g it wont boot
i rooted my mytouch 4g ussing gfree and then i installed sense 3.0 rom and it worked then force closed left me in bootloader then from there flasheed cm7 worked good for 15 days then said force closed again then never turned back on aghain now when i plug it back in it tells me cannot install drivver software and it recognizes it as qhsusb_dload any solutions or its a gonner contact me at [email protected]
i did a radio update and it went blank then it froze and now i can't switch it on or anything it wont even charge HELP!
please if anyone can help HELP!
Welcome to the club mate
Radio update + not turning on = Brick.Tell HTC It said it neede to update so you did and now it wont turn on...2-3 weeks youll get it baack fixed

Didn't understand half of that sorry, but sometimes if it is totally bricked they just replace it as its easier for them to do so! Or I think they can use hardware to unbrick them, similar to an XTC clip but it involves taking the Legend apart. Something only HTC could do to fix them. But as long as you don't mind sending your phone off there's nothing to lose - they'll either send it back repaired, send back a new one, or send it back unfixed and tell you that you've voided the warranty!
well my phones going to be sent off monday ... yay ... well... i doubt they'll sort it for me but its worth a shot aw well.
they told me to take the back off and remove simcard and leave the battery and also leave the back of the phone off?
either way i hope by monday i can forget about this for a while thanks btw
