My HD too restarts on its own: no solution ?

I have read some threads about it. Some people had the power button stuck (in that case the screen 'do you want to proceed yes - no' would appear)...some other people had problems while listening to the radio.
I have never listened to the radio...
Some days ago the problem started, the phone always reboots on its own while lying on the table or in the pocket...no applications in background, no wifi on, no bluetooth on...just the original rom (german one), the original radio version, no software running : it reboots (different from shutting down, it turns on again on its own, like a soft reset).
The problem didn't begin with the installation of some application...I have not installed applications for ages, but the problem began only in the last 2-3 days.
ROM-Version : 1.56.407.2 (43972) GER
ROM-Date : 04.03.2009
Radio: 1.12.25.16DE
Protocol: 52.60.25.33U
The battery is clean, the SIM card is clean.

Try flashing another stock rom on there. It could save you weeks of heartache

HTC HD2 Problems TMobile

I've currently installed the latest HSPL (2.08.HSPL) and it haven't fixed my issues.
Most of the time, my phone shuts down and powers up and it freezes or it vibrates 3 times and freezes. Some times it will turn on and freeze and infinite vibrating. Some times when I'm using Opera, it will just shutdown and freeze on boot.
It have to be the OS, but I just installed GingerBread 2.3.2_V7 but it still freezes and crashes.
Any help?
Thank you.

Try reinstall HSPL 2.08
Do it through bootloader mode/tri color screen remember
Then perform a task 29
Reinstall a radio for your TMOUS HD2, that is compatible with MAGLDR or HSPL.
Then install winmo or MAGLDR. Through tri color screen also.
Or it might be your sd card, Iunno, i've been reading some sd cards freeze the device. So you might as well format your sd card with panasonic formatter. Full format btw.

I think you downloaded and copied a sd Card build to your phone. If it was a NAND ROM you would not have thois problem, plus I just did a search on GingerBread 2.3.2_V7 in the Andriod section for the HD2 and it only pulled up a biuld called "PPC-SHIFTPDA GingerBread 2.3.2 V7 & Desire HD Sense Glass V2", and this is a sd card build. looks like a very nice one too. Click on the link to comfirm that this is correct ass it should take you to the thread on that build.
You can do two things, either try uninstalling the last couple of apps you have resently installed most recent to least recent.This might solve your problem as it might be an app causing the issue.
The other is to do a Hard Reset of your HD2. Now make sure to move anything you want to save like pictures, videos, documents, etc. to your sd card or back them up on a computer first. also use Mycrosoft My Phone or a comprabale app to back up your contacts, favorites, text messages, ect. Cause this will revert your HD2 to like it was fresh brand new fresh out the box. Any way my sugestion to you is to do a Hard Reset of your HD2. tTo do this cut your HD2 off. then hold down the volume up and down buttons and the power button at the same time until you see the tri color screen. once it comes upo press the volume up button and the your HD2 will reset to factory setting.
Now after you do the reset don't just try to reload all of your apps at once.I suggest you do a soft reset(turn phone off for 20 secounds and turn back on) after ever app you reinstall. Reinstalling all your apps at once can cause your HD2 to freeze up on the first reboot of the phone because it is overloaded with the task of making all the needed changes at once using up all of it's CPU resources.This sould resolve your issue.

I did a task 29 and installed WinMo
I still get the 7 vibrate thing on boot. I've found that it only does this when the phone is hot. Is this an error found in every HTC HD2 TMOUS model or is it just me?
Thank you

[Q] HD2 Lockup on install

Hi folks.
I've just tried to flash my HD2 to Gingerbread from WinMobile 6.5 using the following instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 (It's in HTC Leo: HD2HD2 AndroidHD2 Android NAND Development[3.May.11][MAG/cLK] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][Kernel:tytung_r10])
The HSPL installation went fine, however, when used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, I've been left with a phone that won't boot past the O2 Welcome screen?
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing/done wrong? I've now got a phone that's useless No amount of resetting, rebooting or hard resets will change it.
Cheers!

Further update
Where it tells me to boot the phone whilst holding the power key down, it doesn't appear to do anything. If I do a cold boot, the phone just will not boot (but then it didn't under Windows) and if I hold it down & do a soft reset, just still goes to the O2 Welcome screen. I can put it into the ROM update Utility again & attempt to reflash the ROM (which now shows no Version number) and I get the screen that tells me The ROM Update is complete, although it takes only about a minute, as opposed to the 10 it should take!
FYI, the Phone ROM Update Utility is version 3.27.4.3, if this helps?
Ta!

[Q] HTC HD2 T8585 freezing issues after flashing to any radio xx.50.xx

Hello, my friend brings me HTC HD2 T8585 yesterday. It seems like it's not T-mobile (white "call" and "end" buttons, no t-mobile label on the top). It freezes on "Energy star", just writes ROM and radio version on the bottom left and freezes. Now it has radio 2.09.51.xxx. If I try to update it to xx.50.xx it stops switching on, recognising by USB and charging at all. Totally bricked. But I have found strange way to reanimate it. I'm pulling battery out (for 5-10 minutes), reset HD2 few times by red button, insert it back, push reset few times again, plug USB cable inside, charging battery 5 minutes by external 5V adapter is also helps sometimes (now it has 3.85V), and sometimes it possible to switch it on (1 time on 10 tryings). When it switched on, it's possible to update radio back to xx.51.xx version and after that it switches on very distinctly, but freezes on Energy star again (it refuses to boot any flashed rom). It's possible to install android on this HTC with xx.50.xx radio. I did it and it works (but freezes then I'm trying to make a call). Of course to boot android on xx.50.xx I need to pull and insert battery, press reset and make special magic dance...
I have a loop here: to boot android I need new Radio Update.
To switch the phone on without magic spells I need old 2.09.51 Radio.
Sometimes it's possible to boot firmware on 2.09.51. I don't know how i got it, but after 5 minutes of freezing on "energy star" it booted up stock firmware i flashed before.
I don't know what to do. Is it hardware failure?

I'm not sure what you have, but there's no "energy star" on my device?!
any screenshots for the device/the screen that it freezes on?

by energy star, do you mean the energy rom boot screen? The energy rom WILL NOT boot with a ..51.. radio. It must have a ..50.. radio for it to work.
OR - have you been flashing custom boot screens? there is an 'energy star' bootscreen, made to look like a PC bios boot screen, is that what you mean?
flashing a radio without HSPL, , you are mistaken, that cannot be done.
we need more direct info to help, i'm afraid. Screen shots or at least full filenames of what you have flashed LAST would be great.

Okay I'll try to tell full story. This phone was previosly updated to custom W.M. 6.5 rom (by my friend's friend I don't know him directly). I don't know which rom he used. May be he changed splash screen (wow I found it! i always thought it's real boot time proccess for HTC HD2 ) . Yesterday my friend brought this phone to me with two problems: 1: slow and not stable booting (sometimes it freezed on splash screen 2: After (and if) it loads WM, it crashes in very short time to screen full of green colour. So I tryed to install Hyper Droid. First I downloaded HSPL4 and updated HSPL from 1.66.0000 to 2.08.HSPL . After that I tryed to install MAGLDR and phone showed only Energy Star splash screen. After short googling I decided to update radio. After updating it to 2.15.50 phone switched off and i was not able to switch it on (like described in this post). I disconnected battery and after few tryings it switched on and loads MAGLD, i prepared partition (150MB file) and update zipped rom from SD card. Between these steps I disconnected battery many times, because it was impossible to switch phone on after reboot. I spend about 2 hours and Android was installed but phone freezed after 2 minutes (charging animation stoped and it didn't respond on buttons). Also I got 100% freezing then I tryed to make a call.
I tryed different version of Radio (about 7) and found 2.x.51.x working more stable (phone switching on by pressing button or connecting usb cable) . 2.x.50.x all have same switching on issues ;( . Now I updated HSPL to 3.03.HSPL and found that it (?) resolved issue with charging LED (it stayed ON after usb cable disconnecting) . Now I'm downloading stock 1.66 region free firmware and will try to flash it..

I found LEO of my friend is from Singapoure (thanks this) ) s/n: SH0CLNW03xxx . I tryed my s\n on htc singapoure support site and now i'm downloading original firmware!

After further researching I decided this phone has battery/mainboard failure. It freezes and makes green screen of death randomly, especialy often under high power consuption or while disconnecting USB cable. I flashed Rom directly from SD card, because usb update didn't work for me. Now it has stock firmware with stock splash screen. 3.03.0000 SPL and 2.15.50 radio. I'm giving up. Thank you all, here are a lot of useful information.

Did you do a hard reset after flashing the stock ROM. if that didn't do the trick, you could send it to maintenance now that it has stock WinMo on it.

Yes i did hard reset, it didn't help, I think it's need a bit work with soldering dryer. May be CPU or other chip has bad connection to mainboard... I've found i can get 100% GSOD by shacking phone or knocking its back cover. I don't know why it has difference with 51 and 50 radio. Now if it's freezed i'm pulling out the battery for one minute, and it switches on with 95% warranty. With radio 51 it switches on without need of battery removing.

[Q] HD2 Typhoon CMD7 - Suddenly won't boot

I've been happily using Typhoon CMD7 2.7 for months now, with no major problems. I hadn't updated because the ROM ran so well and I work 3 jobs and have almost no free time.
Recently while running the stock media player, the phone has developed this tendency to suddenly pause the music if turned upside-down (i.e., to go in my pocket) and I'd have to take the phone back out and turn the music back on.
Well, not this time.
This time, it flat-out froze while playing a song. I shrugged it off and removed + replaced the battery, only now the phone no longer boots. The furthest it gets is past GO GO GO!, and then it hangs at the black & green HTC screen basically forever.
-Typhoon CMD7 2.7.2 from SD
-MAGLDR 1.13
-Clockworkmod Recovery (Don't remember which, but seems to be working fine)
-Radio 2.15.something (I can no longer check)
Prior to installing Typhoon, I followed the forum's advice (task29, partition, etc).
I have tried reinstalling the same Typhoon ROM and backing up my settings to install Typhoon 3.5 + wipe cache and fix permissions, etc.
I read another thread in which someone was able to stop boot-death by booting without their SIM. I tried; no difference.
I've noticed I can no longer access the HTC bootloader (vol-up + boot; this is why I can't tell you /exactly/ what radio is on there). I used to be able to switch between MAGLDR and the tri-colour bootscreen with no issue.
Any ideas what kind of issue this could be?
Is it worth trying a different ROM to see if the problem is unique to Typhoon?
I'm hoping this recent inescapable crash is just a ****up of mine instead of a hardware issue.
Advice and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
You guys are great. Thanks for all your hard work (and your patience with all the questions!)
