Bricked HD2 repair

Having my TMOUS HD2 bricked by using Task 29 and 2.09.51 radio, thus losing the warranty, how much does it cost to have it repaired by HTC? Do they even accept them for repair?

Does it even boot to the tri-color bootloader screen? If so, you can fix it (I think). If it is indeed dead, there are some posts describing brief, furtive encounters with a microwave... (wink-wink-nudge-nudge)...
Hope you get your device either fixed or replaced soon...

It is dead, no tri-color bootloader, nothing

does it turn on at all? stuck at the pink/white "stick together screen"?

Since it's less than 2 weeks since you got it, just take it to the T-Mobile store you got it from, and tell them that it just stopped working for no reason. I know it's bad thing to do, but it's better them than you right... I am sure they are prepared for the first set of devices to have some issues
Just be ignorant and tell them that you left the phone charging overnight and the next day morning, it just stopped working. They will just swap the device. Just make sure that you go to the store in-person to pick up the deivce. If you mail it in, they would dignose and probably know you have messed around with it.
I did the same thing with I flashed my device the next day it came out. I flashed a Custom ROM that had a non-compitable radio and it just did not boot. No bootloader mode.. nothing. NADA...
I called the store I got it from, he asked me to come by the next days since he was of all the devices and he was expecting a few the next day. I asked him to reserve one for me for the exchange for the damaged device. I went in the next day.. They just swapped the device. I actually told him to switch the battery from the new device to see if this one works, he said, it does not matter as he had send the whole device back anywayz..
So, good luck. Hope this helps.

Same as above for me except they had no devices left. Out of stock completely with no ETA. I got my refund and I'm back to being HD2'less.

I paid $172 to have me htc blueangel screen repaired if that helps.

Nothing to do with task 29, task 29 is safe. Radios with ..51.. are deadly.

Unfortunately some of the ROM's can be the kiss of death.
I can tell you that you have completely bricked the phone and they can't tell what ROM you have then you can probably get the warranty with HTC. If they discover you have a ROM it will be shipped back to you and they won't even fix it. It's a hit or miss with them.
I sent back one HTC HD with custom ROM and they didn't have a problem. I snet another one back and they declined due to custom ROM.
Just hope you get them on a good day

just answered in your thread.

You mean it's dead and there's nothing to do with it?
New CPU?
RAM discharge? SOMETHING????

That's pretty much right....when you flash an incompatible radio to this phone (which that ROM has), that's the surest way to kill your HD2.
You can send it to HTC for repair, where they will likely tell you that you need a new mainboard (CPU, rom/ram, etc) and offer to charge you for it....usually very close to the price of just replacing the phone with a used one.

Can you get into bootloader mode then? Get there and flash a different ROM. Be sure it doesn't contain a .51 radio!

Please help me i did the same as

bricked by the radio that rom contains.
sorry.

Got my HTC HD2 rooted and installed droid froyo and it worked for 2-3 weeks, and then suddenly after trying out a program from droid market, called photofun, it just froze, so I removed the battery and put it back in, and it is not coming up at all. Tried hard reset with the vol up/down+power with no luck. Completely dead, would not even go to the boot loader.
So if anyone is in same situation as I was, just search for htc repair in your local CL and I took mine to a local wireless store here and they're able to fix it somehow and cost me $50. Software issue they said.
There seems to be a way to fix a completely dead/bricked hd2, without having to replace the whole mobo, but cannot find any info online. Anyone would like to share please? In case I bricked my phone again or anyone else who bricked their phone.

HD2 stuck at white boot screen/ can't install Roms

Hi guys, I've a problem with my HD2 and maybe one of you has an idea of how to fix this, because I really don't want to send it in for a repair
Anyway, my phone decided to refuse to boot out of nowhere. When it happened I had Artemis v9 or v10 installed on it. The funny thing is that I didn't flash anything when the problem occured.
Whenever I start the phone I only get a white screen. Luckily, I can still access the bootloader, even thought that didn't help me until now.
my guess is that the Radio is somehow corrupted, because when I try to flash a new one I get the error saying "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated". Not even flashing with task 29 works, because I get a "Error 270" and the phone restarts itself after like 4% of flashing.
I'm really out of ideas, I tried to flash a lot of different roms and radios, even the rom that the HD2 came shipped with.

What radio (if any) have you flashed? Check the ROM's dedicated thread you want to flash and see if the radio is compatible.
Im betting you've flashed the wrong radio

take the rom it was shipped with, name the nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh, copy it to your sd card and go into bootloader.
it will flash your old rom and should overwrite the old radio.
DN41

I installed Radio 2.06.51.07, which was recommended as far as I know.
I tried to install every "official" rom that I could find, but no matter if I apply them via SD card, USB or .exe, the install never finishes.
Tried to install just the OS without a radio and that worked, so I'm almost sure it is somehow radio related.
Now the problem is that I can't even send it to T-Mobile, because I there is no way to get rid of HSPL. BTW, it's the german T-Mobile we are talking about, not the US one. Is there a chance they won't notice the HSPL...?

so flash this one over sd-card: german t-mobile 1.72
what about performing hardreset? does the phone boot?
DN41

Tried flashing the TMO rom, but no luck either
Hard reset is strangly fast (only takes like 7 seconds) and only gives me a white screen after reboot. Apperently the HD2 shows me that HSPL is intsalled in the bootloader, but I can't change the SPL...
Already tried HSPL2, but no matter what option I choose, my bootloader always stays at 1.42 HSPL.
Edit: I would like to post pics of the error I get when flashing from the sd card or the bootloader screen, by the board rules don't want new users to post links.

I have exactly the same problem.
I believe radio hardware of my HD2 has failed.
This is not related to flashing an incompatible radio, as I have flashed 1.66 official ROM about three months ago and had no problems until now.
I got the white screen, when phone was in my pocket.
Not possible to update radio, update fails with "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated".
Not possible to flash any rom, flashing fails when it comes to radio part.
MTTY didn't help as well.
I see no way but to send it back for repair.
Hope they dont realize HSPL, as it is also not possible to change SPL right now.

Hi everybody, i am facing the same issues with my knew HD2. The fact is that i received it yesterday, while trying to flsah ENERGY ROM ..i flashed also the radio .. now got the white screen with the HTC green logo, and no way to hard reset ... phone doesn't boot, can't do anything !!!!!! volume + and volume - doesn't work !!! any idea any solution ?? I am about to try flashing with the memory card but no idea if it will work, im not sure cause even the HSPL doenst appear ... anu idea ?

I've got the same problem
Mine is a Telstra (Australian) HD2, and I've been using it for about 3 weeks fine. Then a few days ago, I took it out of my pocket, and it's dead. With my one, most of the time I just get a blank screen (no HTC), and most of the time it's slightly yellow.
I'm having the exact same problems, and have done everything suggested on this page, and others. I can't send mine back either.
I'm guessing since no one's replied, there's not really a solution to this.
If it is a failed radio, I'm amazed how easily they fail, and how many people seem to have this problem.

I have the same problem today. Anybody help?

i had the same problem with my Telstra T9193. i couldnt find any solutions so its on its way back to australia under warrenty.

I had a similar problem to this, though it appears I just fixed it. I can only imagine it's just a temporary fix though, as I previously managed to get it working and running Android only to white screen again the next day.
I did a hard reset and now it loaded the white HTC screen and nothing else. I tried installing a stock ROM from the MicroSD card and got the same "Update Terminated Update Fail" error because of the Radio. Retried the update about 3 times, and it eventually installed fine.

same here, i reloaded a stock from sd to relock it, which i highly recommend for anyone having this problem - in case it needs to go for repair and it just happens to boot..it took quite a few tries to have a proper flash and it booted only a few tries afterwards and then went back to only booting the white htc screen. so frustrating. and unfortunately for me it has to go back to australia for warrenty and will likely take ages to get back

I was stuck at multi color boot screen after hard reset. Tried multiple roms.
Solution: Use the 2.13 rom from here. Worked thankfully!
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653

After being looooong on this forum, I finally got my first bricked HTC. I got all the same problems, white screen, no way to get HSPL gone, and no update via SD possible, no ROM update via USB in bootloader and no radio update possible...
Anybody knows how much it costs if I send it to HTC and they find yout it has been HSPL-ed?

Next with the bricked HD2
So definitely I´m in the same situation.. I have unusable SMARTPHONE!!
Even worse, because in my case i have no chance to send it to warranty repair - I was too disparate and curious so I opened my HD2 to look for an backup battery to erase everything that could have resist my countless tries to reflash, hardreset, flash RADIO, flash ROMs...
At the begging was the same (btw the same is still) : I took my phone and it did´t answer for waking it up. So I pressed red button to (soft)reset it. But it booted only to white screen (not the HTC one but "pure" withe w/o logo, w/o software info but with slightly yellow hue)
This was almost whole week ago... During that time I tried almost everything (I don´t have gold card - since I can´t get CID of any SD card I´m not able to have one and have installed HSPL 2.08 I´m ABLE to FLASH any ROM - even successfully reflashed cooked ROM via SD Card.!!) and the answer for me is probably some hardware problem....

I'm sorry, I just sent my to the repair center. Hope they will repair it under warranty. Otherwise it will cost me 100 Euro, just to find out I have to pay for the repairs. Then I can choose to let the device there (then I don't pay 100 euro) or let the device ship back (I pay 100 euro for a brick) or let them do the repairs which they will say how much it will cost on top of that 100 euro ..... stress ....

With the radio bricked there are only two things you can try to do:
1- You can go on using your hd2 without updating the radio. Try to download a rom without radio and install it, or ask a cook to prepare a rom (you can try an official rom if you want to recover the original SPL) without radio for you.
2 - Do what I did and sell the phone as bricked, because there's no way to unbrick radio system. I tried to save my HD2 by recovering the original SPL and sending the phone to the htc customer service. I got the phone back after 2 months and it was still radio bricked

if you get it into bootloader is shuold say connected by USB in this case you can still flash the radio in the exact same way you flashed the rom.
in regards to warranty, flashing custom roms does void warranty but its not the be all of end all, you can flash back to stock but thats something you will need to read about as its quite a lengthy explenation.

which rom and which radio should i use now to get my phone working again

ok i understand ! thanks
im woking with xp, and i flashed my phone with a vista pc
is there a chance to do that with my xp?

with xp you use ActiveSync and vista its Windows Mobile Device Center but the whole flashing process is the same

omg dammed your right my phone is reakting with active sync to usb woooooww thanks a lot , will try now

ok thank you , it worked i installed a stock rom . do you think i should install a custom rom again or what do you say

yeah, by all means do a custom rom, they may seem quite daunting and we all make **** ups but once you've done it once or twice its a piece of cake.
check my sig, read through the help threads and you shuold be ok.

when installing a custom rom always check the Required HSPL and Radios, I have made that mistake before. Once you know what you are doing flashing is a breeze.

thanks for helping
now there is another problem!
i installed goatrip and everything worked as it should
then ....
after a freeze with the massage low battery my phone didnt react anymore so i took out battery.
but then ......... it is not reacting at all, it is switched of i cant turn it on
i hope that maybe the battery is broken
but warrenty is lost
somebody can help?

or should i just find a mobileshop who can tell me whats wrong with my hardware

I'm guessing you've tried that, but just in case (since your message doesn't say you did) : have you tried charging the phone for a while and turning it on again (even while connected to the charger)?
If you did try that, you might want to try with another battery, but it would be better if you had a friend with a HD2 to try with his battery before buying a new one.
If you still get nothing, then you'll probably have to send it for repairs..

Well I'm not sure you have another choice but send it to HTC unfortunately.
You just have to hope they can't turn it on either and send you a replacement under warranty, because if they turn it on and see you've installed HSPL and a custom ROM, you'll probably have to pay for the repairs.

has anybody experiance with that?
how hoch will they offer
but what i cant understand.... can a software damage the hardware of the hd2?

[Q] hd2 mother board

guys,When i tried to boot another rom in my hd2 leo it doesn't start . if i'll buy another hd2 broken and will change motherboard will he work???

Change the motherboard seems like a drastic an final solution, obivously if you use a working motherboard it will work.
However, you're not saying what happened to the phone to prevent it from booting, before you even try to flash another rom or make important changes you should read the stickies of flashing and read more if you have any doubts, if you still have doubts you can always ask (in the right section) and most surely somebody will answer.
I don't know if you have considered or if you have already done all the possible things, depending on what exactly is you phone doing you could try to repair it, the bootloader is hardly completely damaged, there are (I'm sure even if I have my HD2 quite recently) several tests you can make in order to recover it, mtty, it could simply be stuck, you could try to flash it from SD, etc.
Perform a good an toughfull search in the forum, try to understand what you phone has and if you need it, ask for help, but be more specific or you could get no answer or even worst.
good luck

he doesn't start, only vibrator is working when i turn on him,I tried boot from sd from pc but in vain I think the only way is to buy another broken hd2 and change the mother board

If you cannot get into Bootloader mode, then you are ******.
I would assume that the HD2's battery has got a charge in it.
My guess is that you have a T-Mobile USA version of the HD2 and you have tried to flash it with ROM (normally a 1.66 Euro) containing a RADIO that corrupts the bootloader. This has been done so many times. The only options are:
Get it JTAGged
Replace the motherboard
replace the phone
If in warranty, tell HTC that it wouldn't switch on the next morning after you switched it off the previous night.
The last option is not nice; but the amount of folk complaining about the poor service from HTC Service, with genuine faults, then I'll not say anything.

Is this called Bricked?

Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.

The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

it will set the phone to factory settings.

Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.

don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.
currently i have ENERGY rom loaded into it but won't start. stuck on the NRG loading screen

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?

K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

wrong radio rom flashed?

rysky007 said:
Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
