Hello Everybody!
Here is the thing, my touch screen is not working anymore. a common problem with the hd2 i think... I cant afford to replace it, or send it to get fixed...
So, is there any modified rom, android maybe, that will allow me to use the phone (at least listen to music) without using the touch screen? I mean, using only the hard buttons?
Thanks!
Before posting new threads, use Search and you will find similar threads that address your issue .
Do a hard reset by restarting while holding the volume control.
thanks for the reply... I did that, but still, i cant find a solution for me...
anyways, let me re-make my question:
What can I do, with a htc hd2, that has a broken digitizer? and I cant fix it... is there anything usefull that can i do with it?

Ok first of all a big hi to this great community (xda team) and users.
Im new to this stuff but im in need for a little help, and i hope someone is willing to help me.
I have HTC Touch and im having problems with it. Its broken now it doesn't work. Not to forget to mention the phone i own is chinese made, which means i think is not the original one (even it looks and acts like the real one).
After modifying some phone applications, by installing tweaks and applications i found on internet, i installed some modified Keypad application, and after using it a while, one day it stopped responding and instead of showing Number keys, it only showed black buttons. SO i tried to uninstall it and after successful uninstall i restarted the phone but it showed me the screen aligning thing and i did what was required it booted but was not working properly. so i did several reboots, and then even tried reseting it. after several tries im now stuck on screen error.
I uploaded two videos on youtube how the screen gets mixed and the other problem, hard reset won't work on my device.
Links to videos:

i would be very happy if anyone could tell me what to do with my device.
PS. Im newbie so i might need some simple instructions if possible.
Thanks in advance.
No one cant help???
I hope someone is willing to give me some instructions...please!!!
Best regards. Gjizaqin
Very strange.
I havent seen any so unhelpfull forum like this :-( im really sad.
I posted the thread asked for help, explained the thing in the best way i could, and no single reply even the one "we can't help" would be nice to see.
Update to my post:
Im writing this with idea of helping others and pointing people to right direction. After maby 1 month of hard exploring i repaired my htc touch (chinese clone)
The phone im using is also known as Elf0100.
So how i fixed the problem:
After trying many many times the standard Hard reset method (Send, stop keys pressed and presing soft reset button with stylus) this method doesn't work with chinese htc clones. So anyone out there having Chinese Htc clone, the right method for doing Hard Reset is: Hold Volume Up & Camera Key pressed, and press Reset button for about 3 seconds without releasing Volume up and camera buttons. After that you should get blue screen, and in the top screen will be shown "Boot loading, hard reset, or something like that im not very sure".
Anyways if you have your Windows mobile damaged (like the one i had), you can repair it with the following method:
1. Download the manufactured version of Windows (or maby this is called ROM) from this site.
2. Format your HTC memory card (Micro SD card), so it will be clean.
3. Move the update.img (you already downloaded from the site) to root directory of your Memory card.
4. Press Volume Up button on your htc and while keeping it pressed , press the reset button.
You should get the blue screen telling the update being downloaded. Wait for a while and it will tell that Update is successfull and your phone will be rebooted.
THis is it.
Although i didnt get any help from this forum, i know i might help others cause this is most frequent place regarding PPC.
Best regards to all.

Hi gjizaqin,
I feel sorry you lost valuable time looking for an answer to your problem (and found it alone !) but I think you are too hasty to blame this forum. I am myself quite new here and I've already learnt so much using the "search". For instance I found another remark of yours in another thread and also found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2466074#post2466074 where you have your answer
Another reason is the title of your thread Help needed , HTC Touch screen error! like me probably others understood you have a technical problem with your screen (broken or damaged) and nobody could help you but repair shop...
I trust you'll continue contributing here because your last post proves you're a gentleman.
All the best !!!

Thanks for your reply tito12,
Anyways its nice forum but not very newbie frendly. I guess the way I wrote this thing will be much easier for any newbie to fix his china htc, without talking too much about roms, loaders etc etc, wich is very confusing for newbies (like me and others).
I thought it was screen problem cause my htc was getting some messy colors while loading (you can see it in the video i provided). And i stated "unhellpfull forum" by keeping in mind that more than 200 people viewed the thread, and not even single one said simply : "i have no idea, or sorry" so i know someone will try to help me out.
Anyways as a owner of HTC I will still contribute to this forum, in the way I can but words I wrote could be some kind of newbie impressions.
Best regards to all.
Sorry to see no one could help you out - maybe its because its a clone and most users here have real genuine ones? Anyway its great to see you got it fixed and stick with the forums as I am sure you will learn a lot from them and soemtimes get an answer. I find that hardware questions dont get many responses but if you go into say a skinning forum you will get more replies.
hello all. i have my blackstone, and i'm very satisfied about it. But, i have a problem: the screen gets stuck, in the way that i cannot see nothing but if i press the buttons, i feel the vibration; also, if someone calls me, i can speak but still without seeing who is calling. It appears this often when i'm charging the device, and very rare when it is by itself. Can you help me?

This has been mentioned before in previous threads. I'd suggest you try searching for them, though if my memory is right it sounds like you may have a hardware problem with you screen & motherboard, possibly a faulty connection. Would advise you to return device under warranty. Make sure you remove HSPL or any cooked roms before you return device.
aha..understood...but the problem is that i don't have anymore warranty, so i supose that i have to live with it in this way.
What about insurance? Do you have any?
Did you find the other thread? Maybe it had other suggestions. In your case hopefully.
insurance no..untill now, nothing..still searching
Try using 'black screen' in search. You should find a few threads including this one
Hope this helps
i've read some topics, and i'm wondering: how much is a motherboard .
Hui all xda-developers.
I'm a knew member in here, so I will first say hi to all members .
As my title says, i cannot Hard-reset my phone (HTC HD2/LEO).
The hole thing is a big story, but what the hack
First I brooked my screen, then I tried to change the screen, but without problems. Then after to month, I did make an Password for my phone, because of privacy thing on the phone. BTW, the phone changed the password itself .
I talked with HTC, and they says that it is a bug in the phone, and the only way was a hard-reset, (But when i clanged the screen, i did broke the volume up and down button ) - then they gave me a price if they should make my phone 4000 Danish krone's ........ I will not give 4000 DK, I have All ready paid about 5-6000 Danish krone's for the phone!..
Is there someone in this forum that can help me? I all ready have searched Google and so on, talked with so many people, but all the time they say 'Hard-reset' ..
I seriously don't no what I have to do, maybe it is possible by USB cable :S
So your main problem is that the phone changed the password and not you cant hard reset right ?
This happens a lot even there is a thread about it somewhere. Try to remove the sim card and the sd-card then enter your pin code.
Or if that didn't work you can try to flash an official ROM for your device via USB, But since you broke the vol rockers and your phone is locked I'm not exactly sure how you'd go into bootloader nor connect in ActiveSync mode. Give it a try, it may work
Welcome to xda!
I think that the HD2 section must be overwhelming for a starter... and the search function can deliver confusing results.
However, as the phone has already some major on-market time, most problems you might face have been discussed sometime in the past, that is why I do recommend you to use the search function with simple search terms.
Now, about your question:
Please check this thread: Klick!
The tip nr. 15 describes how to reset your phone - and the rest of the thread describes many other more or less unknown features and functions of your phone.

He already knows how to hard reset
But his vol's are broken, that's why he's asking
Mate if you broke the screen and the volume key buttons then why on earth are you trying to reset the phone?
Fix the hardware first and then deal with a hard reset. If both those items are broken then there really is no way to hard reset the HD2. I wish you the best of luck but it looks like your HD2 is really dead...

I'm trying to reset my phone, because i cannot find those hardware\main board for the phone on the Internet? (Those wires in the phone, that goes to the volume up and down)
If you can recover an Nokia (something) without an hard reset, then why can we not do it on an HD2 ? Do you no what i mean >?
^^^ Yeah, my bad. Missed the whole point that the hardware is completely broken. And a password issue.
Anyway...
Hey everyone, recently my hd2 touch screen stopped working, I'm not sure why it stopped responding but it will only respond by the physical buttons. The only thing I can do with it is turn it on and put it into sleep and or turn it on to the lock screen. I currently have android on it.
I searched around and found out that alot of people had the same problem as me and the only way to fix it is by sending it to HTC so they can replace the faulty screen. Now I'm going to try that but before I send it in I want to reset the phone back to original settings with WM 6.5 and remove the SPL. The problem is I am not sure how to do it, so can anyone let me know how I can do all that or point me in the right direction?
Appreciate the help
I had the exact same issue. I reset the phone multiple times and tried different roms from stock to modded, android to winMo 6.5 with no success. Your luck might be different, but the only way I was able to get my HD2's screen running properly was to have the digitizer replaced. I know it sucks, but at least you're not the 1st to deal with it.

The right direction would be the search button. Just look for "Remove HSPL", "Uninstall HSPL" and you'll find plenty of results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402
and you'll probably need this thread too:

One warning: please check whether you need a EU or TMOUS ROM before proceeding... Wrong ROM could brick your device, making things probably worse than they are...

Awesome, another HD2 screen not working topic. We was seriously running low on these, Its not as if there wasn't enough or answer wasnt available already a million times over or we would have been in real trouble.
Hello all,
hope somebody could explain me how to get rid of strange screen acting - flickering/not responding in several areas/becoming unresponsible...
It happens in average every second day and i can easily get it to normal by just blocking/unblocking it.
I thing it is more like software issue not hardware, right ?
Pls see everything in this minivideo attached and archived (can't attach it normally and can't post the link since im new user).
Big thanx in advance !
Have you considered updating touch firmware from hidden menu? Search around and you'll find it
If that doesn't help, I suggest you either try upgrading/downgrading your software. If that doesn't help either it might be a loose connection.

Hi,
thanx for answer. I just tried to update touch firmware, when i press on it, it freezes a bit but nothing happens.
I will try to google how to downgrade my system, Can you tell me what did you think by saying loose connection ? Do you think it might be hardware ? As you see in the video, screen doesnot flicker in all areas as many people have, but just in certain areas and when i slide down menu window, you see it was not flickering.
