[Q] Bricked?

Hey guys, I need some help with my shiny new brick. So I had android running on the phone from nand. So one day while using it, I decided to clear my information from it within android (Settings>Privacy>Factory Data reset). Anyway, this completely F'd my phone. So what I did was try to install a new nand android rom, but that did'nt work either. So then I said let me go back to windows mobile. THAT WONT WORK EITHER!!!
Where I am now:
HSPL installation is successful when I try it (spl version 2.0.8)
Windows mobile stock 6.5 gets stuck at 8%
Task 29% gets stuck at 0%
flashing any rom from the sd card doesnt work either
I feel like I've tried every approach, to no avail. I've read over every thread known to man with this problem, no answer. They all say either task 29 or flash the stock rom, neither of which are working here.
Currently the phone gets stuck on the Stick together screen, then just resets again.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Question... was it a recovery zip or direct nand rom?

Try reformatting the SD card fat32 from the computer, write a fresh image file to it and try to flash from SD again. I don't know why but if I don't reformat the SD card each time, my HD2 never takes a flash. It might not work for you, but it's worth a try. I hope it helps.

Nand boot image problem

Hello guys!
I have a major problem with NAND booting:
I can't boot any of the nand roms, neither with clK, nore with the MagLdr.
Tried and installed lots of nand roms. It does install them but they won't boot:
-in MagLdr it gets stucked on 123456 GO GO GO!
-in clK stucked on [260] -- suspend -- | when I fastboot-continue so it will force boot, I get [168210] ERROR: Invaled boot image header
Tried and installed a winmo6.5 rom and it works perfect.
Anyone encountered this problem before, or does somebody have any ideea how to recover my nand boot image? I really need my AD back

do you make the proper nand partition for the rom you want to flash?

I have the same problem. I used this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
and 220 MB for system partition and 5MB for cache partition.
It's my wife's HD2 and it's the second i try to install Android on. The first was mine it's working perfectly with the same partition sizes. I have really no clue why is not working and my wife is looking for the crowbar right now...
PLEASE HELP!

^ try to redo everything & try the SD version of that ROM if it will boot.
just run it from magldr

Thank you for answering.
I tried to redo everything and got the same results. I'm thinking to go back to Win 6.5 to see if it works for me too, but I'm not sure how to do it... I'm thinking to wipe with Task29 and then to install Win 6.5. Will it work this way?
Many thanks!
EDIT: I've got the WWE 3.14... from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 and it's working perfectly. I can't believe how easy it was to install win 6.5 again... Just enter bootloader and run the exe... Too bad I can't have ICS on it, but I'm glad it's not bricked and it's working.
Thank you!

Hey! saw you quoted me and since that was an old post, lots of things happened in this long time..
I found out what my problem was: bad blocks on NAND; so i contacted cedesmith-developer of cLK (since he's a romanian like us ) and tried to figure out with him.. we discovered that there were bad blocks on BOOT partition -> so I managed to solve it with the increase of the RECOVERY partition size (to 10MB) - so we actually moved the BOOT partition away from the bads..
worked for a while (especially with small-size system ROMs) then I wanted to get some cocky bigger ROMs and found out I have bads on the USERDATA partition aswell - the reason why, now, I'm getting some nasty spontaneous restarts..
at the moment I'm running an ICS NAND-build (after I ran some time an ICS SD-build) - but with this disadvantage of those restarts..
so, as a conclusion! if you want an ICS build and no headaches, go for a SD-version! with a 10-class SD you'll have no problems; it will run pretty smooth (search for smaller versions)
have a good evening!

Thank you very much!
I think I'll stay with win 6.5 at least for a while and I'll try an SD version of ICS, as you recommended. I have a class 6 SD now, but I will follow your advice and get a class 10 for this. On the other hand, as I said, it's my wife's phone, so she has the last word. I just wish she will never ask for an iPhone... That might be a divorce matter...
I hope this thread will help others too.
Thank you very much again!

Do try using the task29 to wipe your Mobiles internal memory. Be sure to wipe your sd card before this. Then dont install windows mobile 6.5. Flash MAGLDR right away. try installing the CWM and the rom.
Give a thanks if you found this helpful

Thank you, but I already tried that. With no results...

i thought it was decided that anything above a class 4 or 6 would not help and could actually be slower.
i think those fast cards are only for a camera which needs to write as fast as possible.
search here on xda for read write speeds.
get CrystalDiskMark (free) if you want to test the card speeds for yourself.
whatever you decide to get make sure its a good brand of card.
no need to spend money you dont need to

HI. so exactly wat happens? where do u go wrong. and wat happens on those screens? please do mention

Thanks gazzacbr. It's good to know that.
For adil1508: Well... It seems that I didn't do anything wrong... It seems that the phone has too many bad sectors and, after all, is kind of bricked anyway. Even with win 6.5 the phone keeps restarting every 15-20 minutes.

I would very much like that but it's much to expensive for me. Almost my salary for two months. Can't afford it.

I assume (since about ten people per day ask exactly this) that you flashed magldr but magldr didn't start as expected? This is caused by (as I type half a dozen times a day) by not having 2.08.hspl AND a compatible radio.

You haven't given any real details as to what you have done so far.
Details details details.
So, tell us what you did so far, please. Please be detailed, with names, filenames, versions, etc. not just 'i flashed that thing and now nothing works'

hope this helps more
ill start from the start
i first ran this file HSPL3_PKG.exe this run fine without any problems
then i ran this file rom updateutility from this rar folder ive downloaded called DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
now this is where it all went wrong ,i ticked all the boxes and went thought the set up by following this video
got to 6;08 into the video and followed the steps
then got to 7;04 in the video and this is where the phone stayed on the htc screen for 30 mins ,,,and its done nothing
so i unplugged it
now i read that its possible to get the phone back to booting up with another offical rom from htc but carnt find the rom that ill need ,,plus the windows mobile wont reconise my phone in usb mode
hope this helps you a little more to solving my problem

and sorry i carnt post the link to the video yet as ive not done my 8 posts

ok, so its all fine so far, you just haven't yet done the next step, which is flash a compatible radio. (had you changed the radio after flashing hspl and before flashing magldr, magldr would have started straight away)
(I shall assume that you have a regular hd2, not a t mobile US model, since you haven't said, if it IS a tmous, then its a different problem)
download radio 2.15.50
enter bootloader
plug in usb
count to 5
run customruu to flash that radio
reboot
magldr should now start

thanks for your reply
ill go and find this radio now and keep you posted
thankyou

you rock dude
thank you so much for your time posting ,,
100% working andriod now
anything eles i should know please post

Lovely.
Only thing to know is that you shouldn't need to flash radio or magldr again now, if you want a different sized rom you may have to reflash cwm to change partition size, but if you ever have probs booting or whatever, nine times in ten someone will tell you to task29 and reflash stock and start over,,,, nine times in ten that's massive overkill.
Read read read is the best advice I can offer, see what issues others have and read the answer,, one day that issue might be yours, and you'll have a head start solving it. Never panic and start random flashing, that always ends badly, and means any help request posts are harder to work with.

thank for your reply
just a quick question for you
ive got a 16gb sd card in with about 300 app/games ,,and ive installed about 20 so far but now phone says memory full ,,should they be installing on sdcard instead of the phone memory
or is this normal for the phone memory to run out so fast

Depends on the rom, some leave 200+ free, some far far less. That's why most roms support an ext partition, which the phone treats as internal.
Backup your SD card (it will be wiped) start phone into cwm, then (I think its) advanced - format SD card, or something like that. Create a 1 or 2 gb ext partition, swap 0, and reflash the rom. C
The rest of the SD will be formatted to fat32 just like it is now.
It will detect the ext partition and use it as internal memory automatically. You should not choose the option to "move app to SD card", that will take the app off the ext partition and put it in the fat32 partition,, and some apps wont work from fat32.(angry birds for example)

Help.. HD2

Hey guys,
So my problem, I downloaded Xperia Beta ARC installed it seemed that everything was fine, used the storage alterer, since then my sd card doesnt work in any device! iv not been able to flash another rom or anything to my HD2.
So i tried the HD2 Android NAND Toolkit and task29'd it.
now im stuck on the loading screen just sits there does nothing. i fear iv ruined my HD2 any advice would be great. iv litlary tried everything! im not going to be able to use the sdcard anyone got any ideas of flashing a rom to the unit, i tried to get wp7 onto it but keep getting a error.
Any help much appreciated.
update -
trying downloading win 6.5 exe see if i cant get it back to original state! fingers crossed. could use a program to fix my SD card as i think its just a partition issue.

yes well it would do, you just removed the rom by task29'ing.
no clue what the storage alterer is, so cant help, but simply entering magldr, then from there cwm should let you flash a rom (once you sort teh card out, of course)
EDIT - oh right you used the toolkit, which also removes magldr(that isn't always the case), so you will need to flash that again too, , magldr - cwm partitioning - new rom.

To be honest, iv tried everything to fix the sd card, but its just a bit gutting its working then next minute its destroyed due to partions! will just purchase a new one and see how it goes!
Got the windows 6.5 onto my phone, im hopeing i can now go to win7! until i sort out my SD card issue.

[Q] Help me

Hi everybody!
I flashed WP7 for my HD2, but when installed, the fist time boot up HD2 only runs to gogogo is to restart itself. I removed the battery for about 5 minutes and restarted the WP7 again, but it's only runs about 15 minutes to restart itself and repeat the above error.
Any help?

Task29-Format Your SD Card -Install WM -Install Magldr-Do Two Wipe-Install WP7 Rom
Have Fun

Thanks for your reply.
I did as your guide, But the HD2 still fails as above

so did it work on WM (6.5) ok or not.
You must be missing a step somewhere

ahhynt branch
It Ok, I flashed WM 6.5 or Android, It work OK.

me too
Me too.
Please tell me when slove it,thanks.

so the first thing that comes to mind assuming you have had Android and WM6.5 working is the SD card.
The big difference is that WP7 needs a good working SD card in order to operate.
At the first install and boot it needs to see a clean formatted card ( FAT 32) or wont work.
Also directly after your WP 7 flash you have to hard reset the phone !!!
Are you sure you have the correct HSPL
Are you sure you have flashed the correct radio for the rom you are trying to flash.
Good luck

Hi!
I have replaced another memory card and flash the WP7, but it boot is very difficult, stop and reboot it in "go go go", I must remove the battery then re-start, and it runs very well. What's must I do?

check to Make sure your battery contacts are making proper contact with battery.

battery??? you don't need to install wm6.5 everytime you want install wp7. just task29...install magdlr...perform the necessary magdlr prep steps (10-services, 5-clear mbr, 4-uselast24nand)..then flash wp7.
also, if your sd was not usable...it would have at least booted and told you the sd was bad. but make sure you do the magdlr prep steps before flashing wp7.
as for the battery, he's saying that sometimes the middle battery contact has a tendency to be out of place...check your contacts are all in correct position.
