Today I was attempting to flash my phone with typhoon android rom. I had all the necessary stuff to do it. After reboot the flashed worked but when I try to slide to unlock it won't work. It won't respond at all. If I use the hard reset on CWM what will happen? Also is there anyway to fix this or is it broken..
i really doubt its broke. somewhere something might have gone wrong. pop the battery out and enter magldr by holding down the red power butoon, go to option 8 ad recovery, hit green button, scroll down & select wipe data/factory reset then hit green button, then scroll down to wipe cache & hit green button, now scroll down to advanced hit green button, go down one to dalvik cache & hit green button. now go back & select reboot system now. see if this helps.
if this dont help i rather flash the ROM myself and then give a very detailed (noob version) of what exacly to do step by step because it seems you've been having a lot of problems flashing this ROM. i just rather take the time out to show you step by step then you keep trying and lose your device to a bad or improper flash.
Yeah, I'm new to this stuff sorry. I think it would be easier for me to just revert back to wm 6.5 and then start over. (Also to check if my touchscreen is still working.) Could you give me a guide on how to revert back to stock version and if touchscreen still doesn't work I can send it in for repair or something. I appreciate your help greatly
The touch screens fine I'm sure go back to cwm Di a factory reset and boot

to update the thread: the phone has since been flashed back to stock winmo and the touch screen issue is still there. plus i suggested a few threads with similar problems. anyone with any knowledge on this would be great.
this could have just been coincidence that it stopped working at the same time as they tried to flash a new ROM but anyone would have to agree it would seem like very odd timing.
Check your battery pins are nice and straight

After that I think you need to check your warranty :-\

Its teh first time this happened. I booed into recovery mode, applied an update.zip (MODACO). That went fine but when rebooting I dont come further then the HTC startup screen.
What can I do now? Is my phone bricked? What would be the next steps if it is bricked or what else can I try to make it work again?
i found some posts about what can be done but it was not quite clear to me what are the next steps involved (Do I need fastboot?).
Thanks for any help. I guess I should have been more careful but never ran into any issues in the past.
If you can get to fastboot (holding down vol dwn button on boot), go into recovery, clearing data before flashing whatever update.zip. If it doesn't work, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 . It should bring you back to a stock, unrooted rom where you can start afresh.

luckily i was still able to boot into recovery....and after a factory reset i was able to boot ....althoug the launcher didnt work...anyway, I could then copy another rom on the sd card and that one worked again.
i guess now its time to start using those nandroid backups!
I think you must do crazy terror for your phone until you cannot go to fastboot/recovery.. I have always couple of backups if something went wrong...

Does anyone try to hard reset your HD2 NAND? It doesn't work on a few NAND ROM here. Please report.
I can only think that you're doing something wrong when you try to hard reset, as the ROM cannot affect that at all. It's not running at that point.
Can you explain what you're doing?

I tried to remove some apps in the system\app folder and now it's all screwed up and don't want to re-flash it. In Winmo, I just hard reset and everything is back right to the original ROM.
The easiest thing is probably to flash the ROM again. With the phone off, hold down the power button till you get the magldr menu and select USB flash. Plug in the cable and reflash.
Edit: Actually, I take it back. I don't know if the usual hard reset method would work with a flashed Android ROM. I actually doubt it would. Either way, the above advice still stands.

Thanks John. I reflashed any way but in Winmo, flashed many times and the hard reset worked everytime (either in software or hold both volume key and power on). Just wonder why it doesn't work with android. The user data must not be stored in the supposed partition, I guess.
I think you can flash the rom again, it will ask if you want to keep the old settings. I'm not sure, but had read something in the HD2 android topic. There is an AD Hardreset option in magldr menu.
Can't you hard reset from megaloader?

The hard reset doesn't work for me. I try it with gauner1986's HD-FI 0.3 but... that do nothing
I'm rooted but have never ran anything but stock on my phone. Only having experience with flashing WinMo devices, what exactly do I need to know before flashing a custom ROM?
If I flash, do I lose the data on my phone now (does it do a factory wipe)?
Most times toy will need to do a wipe of the data and cache to get a full rom working correctly.

Yeah, thanks.. Just downloaded ROM manager and Clockworkmod Recovery ($2), kinda following the instructions from Gummys post.
How long does this process take? I installed from SD and did the reboot.. I must of waited a good fifteen minutes before pulling the battery assuming it was stuck. Now it's sitting on the Gummy Screen with the 4 rotating colored android pics.
Got into recovery but it's not allowing me to apply the update.zip (e:can't open/cache/recovery/command)?
Dang it! I was in the middle of posting the following instructions when I got interrupted (at work)
Code:
Flashing will wipe your phone. The nice thing with android is -anything you have purchased or installed from the market will automatically be restored to your phone after you log in using your gmail account.
Let me qualify my statement though - I have flashed a few roms and my free apps were not automatically installed for whatever reason. My purchased apps were not installed either - but they were available for installation at no charge.
Here is another important thing to remember - this will only happen if you chose the correct settings in -uh well- settings. There are some options in there to back up your data to google. If you did that then 95% chance it will all be good.
I recently switched from the DX to the D1 (gave my wife the DX bc I wanted to try some D1 roms) and all my apps were installed and somehow google even migrated my current wallpaper over! I was blown away by that.
Also -make sure your contacts are set up to sync with google. if they are just being added to your phone and not in sync with your google account you are going to loose them all.
Flashing roms:
1. You need to get the droidx bootstrapper app from the market (or I think you can get it for free if you search clockwork mod on google and go to Koush's website. I just bought it to help the developer.).
2. Open the app.
3. Press the "Bootstrap recovery button"
4. You should get a dialog box saying success (or something and then press ok).
5. Press "reboot recovery".
6. Your phone will reboot into clockwork recovery (not the stock phone recovery). It will be a black screen with old school green letters and a menu.
a. In recovery you do not have a touch screen.
b. The volume rocker is up/down.
c. The camera button is "Enter".
d. The physical back button will take you back one menu (also I believe the power button but I always used the power button.
7. The first thing you want to do before you do anything is make a nandroid (backup) of your phone.
8. The opening screen of recovery has the option to create a nandroid. do that.
9. It takes around 5 minutes then choose to reboot your phone when it says, ""complete".
10. To flash a rom put ti...
Wish I would have just posted what I had. Maybe you would have had a nandroid to revert to.
Dang.
Yea. It shouldn't take that long. Sounds like something got hosed. I am getting interrupter again. I will try and get back with some info.
Awesome info, thanks for this. Did a factory wipe and now it's booting up normally (or so it appears into Gummy), will definitely bookmark that info though, thanks again man!
Were you installing Gummy. And did you follow the instructions exactly?
****EDIT****
looks like you got it. glad to hear that.

So I take it you are running Android from NAND. If so it may be a app out there that eill work for you, but I would just make a Nandroid backup using CWM and then do a hard reset of your HD2 using either MAGLDR or CWM. Then restore your HD2 using CWM and the Nandroid backup you made.
Thanks for your reply
I tried turn phone off and when I turned back on the phone got stuck on 4 colored "x". Bahh I have such bad luck. I haven't removed any app to make me lose my phone icon and the phone button stop working. I did reseArch and there's a guy saying to put in boot menu(power button and vol -) and then it shows many options. I went to recovery and clockworkmod came up. I'm doing back up just in case. Is that what u call android backup? It's taking ages.. I think got stuck on backing up SD-ext...contacts2.db

yeah that is what I was talking about when I said Nandroid backup, and yes it takes a good little while to complete the backup. It does seem like it gets stuck for a minute on a couple of things but it will complete just let it do it's thing. Once the backup is done use the CWM to reset your HD2 then use CWM to restore it from the backup you made. Message back if you have trouble are check out my guide linked in my sig as it will explain CWM very in dept.
Hey Jeckas I got your PM and sent you a PM back with a step by step guide on how to get your HD2 back up and running.
Problem solved thanks one more time for all ur help @T-Macgnolia
the thread can be closed
Guys please I know this is the wrong forum but no one is answering help. At all. Alright, I went to flash the ICS Sense alpha, and needed to restore a backup. I went into hboot, and restored the PD98IMG.zip. Afterwards it said "Press power to reboot" so i did. The phone turned off, and now nothing. After a LONG time the phone turned on to the White HTC Splash and vibrated CONSTANTLY, until the battery was pulled. I tried volume down + power but nothing. Except for the occasional white screen, nothing. Please, anyone/.
You're bricked

I think your phone had a bootloop. Did you already installed custom recovery? Can you enter it through fastboot menu (vol down + power)?
I doubt he's bricked,why are you restoring that zip? You restore your back up....from clockwork?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
It won't enter into fastboot. Occasionally the white HTC screen comes on with a constant vibrate and the only way to stop that is to pull the battery. No fastboot, no recovery, nothing.
It wouldnt enter into recovery so I had to take the long way, by using the PD98IMG

I am confused. So what exactly happens when doing this:
remove or rename the PD98IMG on the sd card
pull the battery from the DHD
re-enter it and hold volume down and power until the hboot starts
navigate by volume down/up to Recovery and press POWER
If you had to restore back to factory, why bother flashing ICS?
You should get away by installing one of the RUU using PC. here is a guide on how to install RUU and you'll have to search this section to find a RUU or google it.
Though firstly i would ask you if you can go into the recovery mode anyhow since you're saying that your phone can get the HTC logo. For that, hold down POWER + volume DOWN key to get you into hboot (IF YOU CAN) and choose recovery from there, once in recovery, go to option where you wipe your data + cache, wipe both of em and try restarting again...If you can't even get into recovery then do the RUU way of getting the rom working.
EDIT:
I'm not sure what in the world happened, but it booted into the ATT stock ROM. After 30 minutes of vibration and idk what else, it finally booted.
Lol least its on

Gratz, suppose this thread's unnecessary now?
Anyway take care of what you do: always do a nandroid backup prior to flashing everything. Better spend 5min for backup than 5 days without a phone.
I think know what happens. If I remember correctly you had your phone replaced. And it came with gb. The pd98 you flashed was the froyo one. Hence the crazy vibration and long boot time. If Im right thisvwill happen each time you reboot Until you get the gb bootloader back on
Also spamming the threads is a pretty good way of getting banned. Maybe zel or Andy will be nice about it

That sounds somewhat correct. I DID get it replaced, but had a GB PD98 on the SD card. Anyway, it vibrated for quite some time, and eventually the vibration stopped. So I let the phone sit as I figured out some way to salvage the phone. And the the next HTC splash booted, and the phone proceeded into the stock ROM. Idk what happened, but I'm not complaining.
Dear Lord, it just turned off and is doing it again. But, I'm praying for the best again. Thanks guys.

When you succesfuly back in your phone, just root it with AAHK and install some custom ROM and you should be fine.

The phone itself is already rooted, but I tried booting into CWM, and it did the same thing as it did before. So I have to run the RUU, and then S on the phone, and run the hack kit again. I already ran the RUU once, and nothing.
Probably best just to start over and do everything again,even if you've already done it,maybe the root didnt work?
Your phones a nightmare mate
