[HELP REQUESTED]Accidentally flashed incorrect ROM, phone will not turn on.

Hey guys. I just bought my HD2 today and I have flashed HTC phones before.
This is a TMOBILE 1024LEO phone so I connected it to ActiveSync and installed HSPL 1024. After installing it I loaded the CustomRUU and installed "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe". This installed 100% and my phone powered off after it was complete. Since then I have not been able to get the phone to respond. I believe I bricked it? But I don't see why I can't even get the bootloader to load when powered off. I've tried holding the volume down button and pressing the power button. Holding the volume down button and pressing the soft reset button. Holding both volume buttons and pressing the power button. None of these get it to respond. Any ideas?

its dead.
flashing a 1.66 rom alone would have been recoverable, but that rom you chose also includes a radio, because it is an official rom, and that radio is 2.06.51.07, , and what happens when you flash a radio with .51. in it?
Correct, brick.
So far no one has been able to fix it, some have taken it back and gotten a replacement.
Sorry to be the harbinger of doom.
(One of the very few actual known ways to really brick the hd2, in spite of the fact that half the daily new threads say 'OMG brick!')

Throw it in the bin?
From the TMOUS HD2 flashing thread...
Not all ROMs are compatible with 1024LEO, including old official ROMS.
Official 1.42 and 1.66 WON'T WORK on LEO1024, because there is no 1024 NAND memory support.
All custom ROMs which ARE NOT BASED ON 2.08+ T-Mobile ROMs WON'T WORK ON 1024LEO.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT flash any Rom unless it states in the 1st post that its compatable with the 1024LEO or the chef confirms its safe to flash on a 1024LEO. If you flash a Rom with a Base version before 2.08 then you will most likely brick your phone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!
[...]
IMPORTANT: Do not flash ANY Radio before 2.07.x or the 2.09.51.03 Radio or you could damage your phone!!
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Radio you flash is FULLY compatable with the US HD2 before flashing.
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!

You just got a brand new brick. Read the instructions next time...

so there is nothing that I can do to get the phone in bootloader mode even when powered off? I don't understand why that isn't possible.
and btw when I connect the phone to a computer via USB, it tries to install software for "QUALCOMM CDMA TECHNOLOGIES MSM". idk if that helps

all it helps it to confirm that you have the 'it no longer goes to bootloader or power on and shows up as qualcomm (if it shows up at all, some dont) on the PC' problem.
Sorry, but if you look through the tmo us thread there are a few dozen people it has happened to.
here you go, some reading

Nope, it's completely bricked. No ones figured out a way to recover from flashing the wrong radio on the tmous hd2. You're not the first to do it and try to find a fix.

okay guys thanks for the input. I should have been more careful in selecting a ROM! I am taking it back to the tmobile store tomorrow and saying that it just stopped working randomly =D

maybe they won't believe you, but they have no way to prove you're lying, so... even if this kind of attitude will eventually make producers release way stricter warranty policies so in the end maybe everyone will pay for the lightheartedness of the few

or maybe they'll look at their returns pile, figure out how to boot them, leak the process and we can fix it ourselves!

Well if you do brick the phone, their has to be a way to reverse. I'm pretty sure people at HTC know how to do it. I doubt they jus throw these phones away they refurbish it, so there has to be a way to put the stock rom back.

HTC has the bootloader code so they probably have a way to flash it back.

My HD2 turned a few heads at work and a dedicated iPhone owning gadget fan just had to have one. It failed within a day and he returned it for a refund. He was given a new one, and here's my point, had to sign a document agreeing to pay nearly £800 (yes, £800 - that's what the shop charges for a PAYG HD2) if it was later found that the failure was due to abuse, including the use of illegal software. When I read that I was certain they were referring to cooked ROMs. I guess HTC (and the repair shop, perhaps) can tell what's on a phone, even if there isn't a fix and they have to change a board or even throw away the phone. There's a company that can recover iPAQs that have suffered a similar fate. They were doing this before iPAQ 21x cooking became popular. I wonder if such s service exists for HTC devices, or whether such a recovery service is possible with the right tools.
Personally, I'd love to try some of the ROMs on this site but I'm sticking to simple customizations. I'm in no way a WM novice. I just can't justify risking an expensive device. I even avoid official updates if I'm not having problems. Ironically, I've had 4 iPAQs die on me without messing sigh the ROM. I'd be tempting fate.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do. I hope you get to enjoy an HD2.

As long as your PC is attempting to load the Qualcom CDMA driver...
I have a 1024 Tmo HD2 and I always stick to NRGroms from my TP to TP2 and now HD2 (cyanogen is by far the besy for my Nexus or most other android phones). I decided to flash the Artemis Rom and Bricked my device. It worked at first but once the battery died it would start up. So i figured the usb driver must be incompatable because it wouldnt charge. I was able to get Tmo to replace my HD2 device but didnt want to have to pay the $100 charge they charge if they find the device has been tampered with (not only physically, but software too. SSPL, HSPL, custom ROMs, etc.). Been charged before so they do check.
My point is once they sent me the replacement device, I used the new HD2 to charge my battery to see if it was the usb port not charging. Once the new phone charged the battery and I plugged the HD2 into my PC i received the same message saying attempting to install that Qualcomm CDMA message and the driver would not install. I ended up figuring out the issue but it will take having another HD2. Call Tmo and have one sent to you through warranty not insurance and it will be free. I even complained about not having a top quality phone i paid for to use my service and they upgraded to free expedited shipping. So Dial 611 now. Then just get those drivers using the new 1024.
First make sure to turn on the replacement device and open Mobile device center and plug in the device to get the standard driver. Once you get the standard driver, unplug the new HD2 and plug in your bricked device trying to get the same Qual CDMA driver. Now the driver install should complete. Now since you have an incorrect driver id recommend flashing to the Stocl 1024 ROM cause this will update your device to the correct driver and ROM so you wont be charge when you send back your old bricked device.
Now once you reflash your new HD2 just stick to these 2 simple steps.
1. HSPL with the 1024 version (HSPL2_1024_RUN)
2. Only use NRGroms for your Tmo LEO (http://bit.ly/HD2-NRGroms)
If this does not work just send back the HD2 that is bricked and you get a replacement for only $100 charge. Better than having the most awesome paperweight. Also make sure to use the same usb port used to install the primary driver. And dont be afraid to try running the new HSPL on your bricked phone cause that is what actually allowed my bricked phone to comunicate with my PC, then my bootloader driveer installed. I know this is alot of jabber but just ask if you have any questions. My boys brying now so gotta go...

[Q]Htc hd 2 stuck on boot.

Hello,
I recently bought a HTC HD 2 Tmobile from ebay .
The phone will not boot up.
When i start up the phone it leads me to the windows start up to the tmobile start up then back to the windows start up and stays there and i cannot do anything except take out the battery.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop. There is a few things you can try.
First check the battery pins and make sure you do not have any that are bent out of alignment with the others or that is being hindered in anyway.
Next you can download the official Windows Mobile ROM from T-Mobile. You will have to enter the IMEI number, look under the battery for it. Once downloaded you can try to flash it via USB. Just put your HD2 into the bootloader by holding down the volume down button while powering on your HD2 and then connect it to your computer via USB cable. You will have to have Windows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync installed on your computer so you can get the USB Sync connection you need. Go to here to find a link to both, just choose the one you need for the type of windows you use. Anyway once you have your HD2 in bootloader and connected the serial in the bottom white bar of bootloader should change to USB, this means you have the USB Sync connection. When you see the USB you can right click on the ROM you downloaded from T-Mobile and run it as administrator. I do suggest you let your HD2 stay off and charge for a little while first though to make sure you have more than a 50% charge.
If that does not work you can try running a Task 29 and then repeating the above mentioned steps to flash the ROM again.
If this does not fix your problem you probably have hardware issues causing the boot loop.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will try the things you have listed. Even though i am a bit lost haha. If these steps dont work , what are some of the hardware issues that may be the cause of this? And i know this is random but can you help me load android onto my hd2? I have 2 2gb micro sd cards do i have to get a bigger card? Which android os would you recommend? Thats quick and smooth? Thx!

the hardware issue would be overheating cpu, have to get a new main board via HTC warranty (if it is not voided due to water damage or dropped).
Android is easy to load. Fast/smooth you want a CyanogenMod7 ROM, you can find versions for SD or versions that you flash on the phone itself. You can either run Windows Mobile 6.5 then laucnch Android from SD (dual-boot), launch Android from SD with no Windows Mobile, launch Android flashed from internal storage, or flash Windows Phone 7 to internal storage and run Android from SD (dual-boot).
The tutorials are all in the HD2 Android forums and HD2 WP7 forums.

initially I would try a hard reset before getting too technical.
hold down volume up and down and switch on. keep holding volume buttons, when prompted press volume up. this will restore to out of he box settings ie remove all previous data on the phone.

As far as hardware issues go it is like XDA member orangekid said overheating is the predominant reason that comes to mind. Another thing is degraded prossesor connection or degradated flash/NAND chip connections. All of witch can only be fixed by main board replacement.
Yes I can help you "load" Android onto your HD2, just click the guide link ed in my Sig. I think everything you need to know is there. well except how to run Android fro SD card, hmmm maybe I should add that. Also you can go here for more links to very useful threads in the Android General Stickie Roll up thread.
Again I have to agree with XDA member orangekid, the CyanogenMod7 ROMs are pretty creaking awesome. But I do recomend the Hyperdroid ROM I have linked in my Sig. I have used it for my daily driver for months and the only real problem I have had is the latest update to the ROM the new updated market would not work properly I would have to go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Then find the market selerct it and then select Uninstall Updates. Oh and make sure you do not have the check box checked to aromatic update the market or you will have to do this everytime you use the market. I am currently testing the [17 Aug][SENSE3.0] Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.1][RAF 1.9GB] ROM to sort of test the HTC Sensation's ROM and to check out HTC Sense 3.0.
As for your 2gig SD card no it will work but I do recomend you consider getting a 4 gig SD card. I have heard mixed results from 2 gig SD cards that people use to dual boot with. I personally have never used under a 4 gig SD card and have never had any trouble.

Thank you all for your replies.
I will Try out all the steps to fix my phone first. then i will try to load up android onto it and i will get back to you guys. i thanked all that have helped thank you so much. i will be back around sunday or monday with an update. wish me luck! oh one more question. would a 8gb be a good size micro sd card? or should i get a 16gb?

It really depends on how much space you'll think you'll need like, are you a person who takes a lot of pics or video, do you keep a lot of music on your phone? If you do then yes I would go with an 8gb. If not then you could really just use a 4gb sd card. I use a 8gb class 10 sd card myself and store a lot of pics, roms and backups and I haven't had the need to go back to a 16gb. Also you dont have to get a high speed card either, a class 4-6 is plenty.
If you decide to go the dual boot for Android I would look up a program found here on XDA called Rundroid. It will allow you to run many different Android builds from your sd card and is very simple to use. I would give the link but I'm not by a computer right now, sorry about that.

Hiii just an update . i did try to hard reset and it does reset but after i reset when it reboots it stays on the tmobile stick together logo.
and i just noticed if i leave it on like this and leave the battery the phone starts to get warm a bit on the back bottom side of the phone.
i will try the steps you gave me and see if it works. thanks.

I tried to restore by volume down+up and power and it reset but no boot. Pleasse help any one. i tried to do the bootloader ( my computer doesnt reconize my phone) it shows me all these codes. any help?

Heres a vid of my phone if it helps.

I dont want to comment on something and be wrong so with that I would take it to t-mobile and see if you can have it switched out under your warranty. I had a very similiar problem that it was stuck on the HTC/T-mobile splash screen and I sent mine in for repair through HTC. They fixed the issue and sent it back (for free), all I had to pay was shipping there. They do say that if they find something thats not covered under warranty like water damage/not the proper software they'll call and let you know if there will be a charge to fix it.
I will say that my bootloader and probabaly everyone elses dont look like yours. Just above the spl-2.08 mine says pb81120..also mine says Cotullahspl where yours does not. If you dont find what your looking for here on the site best bet is to send it in for repair. Even if T-mobile says you didn't buy the warranty or what ever you still may be covered through HTC. This also will apply even if you bought the phone used.
HTC repair can be found here.

were you not holding the volume down button when you turned on the phone?
I would just download/flash stock from that bootloader screen.

I was holdin the vol down and power and i bought it on ebay so.. idk if i have warenty.

Even if you bought the phone on ebay you still could have a warranty. In post 12 I linked HTC repair. If you call them you could find out if you do have a warranty on it or not. They'll ask if for the imei# and run it. Im not sure if its a two year or one year on the warranty but they'll be able to tell you that.
I bought a used HD2 on ebay as well. Mine was listed as broke and was stuck on the T-mobile splash screen. I asked for the imei# from the seller and then called HTC to find out if it still had a warranty which it did, so i bought it. I lucked out that my phone was covered under warranty, you may or may not have the same luck as i had.

Thank i did what you told me and they gave me a new motherboard on mine. Thanks alot

PC wont recognize my phone

So I got scammed as **** yesterday, bought a HTC HD2 from this faggy kid on ebay and it turns out it doesn't work. Camera doesn't work, many buttons are laggy, some dont even work at all and the biggest issue I have is it cannot be connected to PC. I put it on my USB cable and when I run HTC Sync, says its not connected.
It's got some ****ty beta Android installed and I'd like to get WM back, but seeing as how I can't connect it to my PC, I'm out of options. Anything I can do?

Flash a wm ROM via sd card method.
Make sure you choose correct version ROM/Radio for HD2 model type.
Personally I would go for WM6.5.3 ROM from NRG (you should have HSPL already insaled if on fandroid.
Buying from eBay is a dodgy game, eBay is full of ****e from china or faulty ****e sold as working.
Does it look like screen been replaced ! i void sticker missing from under battery cover on 1 screw head ?

Get your money back and buy a decent one. I'd file a dispute through eBay if the phone wasn't as described in the listing.

First of all: relax! Your problems sound software related and that can be fixed! Can you boot the phone to bootloader (hold down vol down while turning on)? If yes then try to connect the phone to the PC - the display on the phone should change from serial to usb. If it does that it means your usb connector is ok and you should be able to flash WM
/Anders

I wouldn't play with the phone but rather file a dispute on ebay, you're under their protection . No seriously, contact ebay and ask for a refund, they'd probably ask you to send the phone back, but you'll get your money.

There's no way I can get my money back.
I'm more concerned what I could do with the phone. Seeing as how I don't have any device that supports microSD card other than this phone, I can't do the booting, but I guess I could get it from someone. Also, volume up button isn't working, though that was mentioned. Is there a guide on how to do this via memory card? I got the ROM downloaded, just not sure on what to do. Wouldn't wanna do something wrong.

Hi there,
I read you installed HTC Sync. The drivers for the HD2 are in the Windows Mobile Device centre so you need to download that. You need to install the HTC drivers 3.00.007 and uninstall the sync. Then install the Android SDK kit. This worked for me for android and windows. If this was helpful for you, just hit the thanks button!

[Q] Battery charging problem

My phone have problem with charging.
No matter if it runs on Android or WP7 it just won't charge or connect/sync to PC. Like it can't see USB cable.
But in bootloader it detects USB connection, and in magldr too. I can normally flash OSes.
The only way I can charge batery is flashing old magldr 1.10 and charge it when HD2 is turned off. But it is no solution because installing fresh os after every charging is pointless...
I can't check if it charges in WM because whenever I try to install any WM it hangs on first boot (on white HTS screen with OS version written in red on the bottom).
I've tried Task29 before installing and it doesn't help.
What can be wrong?

what can be wrong is that you are suffering early stages of hd2's very well known usb port problem,yours will probably fail totaly soon.is old problem that an only be corrected with hardware repair.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

But if it is hardware issue, shouldn't all functions of USB port functions stop working at once?

My friend had same prob. He had to change the port. Becouse it was very damaged, you can not see demage by your eye, you have to took it to repairman.
Sorry for bad English

Exactly the sameproblem? He had working communication in bootloader and all fuction of USB port lost when system is booted?

consider this

you make a good point, that seems logical. Maybe, as stated above this is the beginning of a bad usb port. I've seen with other devices and the hd2, the usb cable has to be at a certain angle for it to work, not that moving the usb cable around while plugged in is recommended, you have to be very careful and delicate. But you can try that. OR not that I know very much about this, but, maybe its an OS driver issue? it happened to my sd card reader on my windows 7 laptop, just a thought, trying to give you some ideas, sorry i cant be much help in this, good luck!

had this problem on my hd2 euro too.. you need to replace usb prot or buy new mainboard. i got an cheap tmous hd2 so i was lucky^^

It also seems to me a bad USB port...
Replacing it it's the only reliable solution, anything else will be time wasting.

Disassembled HD2 w/o lcd/DIGITIZER. working correctly?

Hello HD2 users. i need some help from your possible experience (this might be a bit long to read, sorry)
I got a disassembled HD2 from a friend, which didn't have lcd/digitizer. I took it to a shop in my country which is an expert with htc phones (called htc solutions ). they said they will test the mainboard. if it works, they would put a digitizer and an lcd.
after a week i called back and they said the mainboard wasn't working so i took it back (still disassembled, no lcd/digitizer).
i got bored while studying for exams, so i tried assembling some stuff and testing it. apparently i connected the bottom buttons, the volume buttons, in-call mic and vibrator. i can tell that because i put a battery on the pins, plugged a usb in and it vibrated!
so i tried again... worked again.
then i hold down volume buttons, connected to usb and it was recognized. i even flashed ruu while holding battery with my hands.
then it rebooted, after some time while still connected to usb, orange led went on. after some time too, green one did (it's my other hd2 battery which was charged completely). device was recognized by pc again. i ran windows mobile device center, it showed hd2, asked to register etc...
i decided to try a custom rom, and flash worked and same thing happened.
now, in order to get activesync/wmdc to connect, the phone must completely boot right?
i asked them on their fb page, they said that it didn't work with them, and the expert said it stucked on htc screen.
and since it booted with me and connected to wmdc, then it booted right?
i couldn't test sound because i must put the back cover right? and i'm not expert, even connected the stuff inside the phone without watching tutorials/asking.
they said they can add the digitizer and lcd on my responsibility, (90$) so should i go for it?
also, does android boot if not all hardware is present? i tried to execute clrcad and haret in both roms (ruu and crossbowHD2 wm6.1), but never got adb to connect. i wanted to test clk and fastboot for android, but didn't have time

Yes Windows would need be booted but perhaps the stuck HTC screen was far enough for WMDC to recognise the device.
If it did indeed reflashed fully things sound promising.
Have you tried installing MyMobiler on your PC as allows you to view HD2 screen image on notebook, needs push file to device but can't remember if any interaction is needed on HD2 but worth a try.
Can you see your device in Windows explorer & view content of phone storage ?
Personally I would be inclined to buy a pre assembled lcd/digi combo (around 30USD)or lcd & digi separately if want save a little more & test it myself & rebuild it after reading some tutorials as will save yourself some dosh ($) if things are not 100% & should be able to resell parts to recoup outlay.

Thanks for your reply.
today before going to exams i downloaded and installed my mobiler and booted it. after connecting usb, (still on wm6,1 due to that ruu has install restriction policies for security, and wants me to confirm installation and launch of exe's afaik) my mobiler started installing on the phone automatically. and it showed the screen!
i saw that there was no sim card (cuz there was not) and pressed cancel in winmo, i got to home screen. so it works right? there's no way that pc could control the hd2 and get to homescreen if the screen is stuck on htc logo.
edit: i forgot, yes, i could browse nand or sdcard if connected from windows explorer. it seems very normal
oh, and i'm not gonna try to flash HSPL it's already flashed cz custom rom worked, and not safe at all since i have to keep holding battery with my hands for it to stay on )

Sounds good so far. Due to fact your HTC specialists don't appear to be too special I would recommend commencing with repair yourself.
Rebuilding the device with a pre built lcd/digi assembly is very easy & almost foolproof if you use this forum & research tutorials & do the job right & with a lot of care.
You will save a serious amount of cash & have the knowledge & feeling of achievement of doing the repair work yourself.

well, i can't find any digitizer or lcd replacemet in my country and can't order them, the reason i went to htc specialists.
but i'm not that sure i will come to them. if android boots fine, i might use ubuntu or make something with it

well, i may know someone who could order from ebay so i might do this after all. i think i'm missing the volume buttons, but the htc solutions store would give it to me at no cost. i love these guys but they're a complete rip-off.
i will see some tutorials on xda and the internet. if i find i'm capable of assembling it, i will do it

1st plug and play, 2nd with soldering. This is a piece of cake, I repaired mine recently with use of screwdriver and knife. Youtube has good tutorials "htc hd2 disassembly"

Not an issue when replace lcd/digi as a combo as they are already paired & it always best go for the plug/socket connector type. LCD to mainboard ribbon is same on them all.

not an issue actually because i got the button board's cable cut accidently (i feel so ashamed) and 90% i'm gonna leave it for spare parts for the working leo i have

Button board is only 3 to 4USD at the most & could probably be ordered same time as screen assembly. Only really worth doing if need 2 working handsets or want sell it or something otherwise keeping as spares is worthwhile but expect first thing you will need is a working digitizer lol
