Bricked HD2 help

help!
I have an TMOUS Hd2 that got bricked by a bad flash.
I can't access the boot loader or anything. LED light does not show when i plug it in a charger. When I plug it in my comp, it says QUALCOMM CDMA has been detected but cannot install drivers.
I have tried J-Tagging it at a local store but they say they can't get a connection.
what else can I do?
Is it permanently dead?

Hmmm sounds like the place you carried it to either did not use the right JTAG on it or did not know what they where doing. I know a member here that can do the JTAG but the you would have to send your phone to the US for him to work on it. If you might be interested I can PM you with more details, just let me know.

They "can't get a connection"? Did they take it apart?
Yes its dead but lots of people have used jtag to fix it.
"Can't get a connection" is an odd way to phrase it, is why I ask, sounds more like they think they can get to it thru the USB port or something,,

from what they said, they took it apart and tried jtagging it.
they said the jtag connection won't recognize the chipset... |:
i gave them a call and they said they used the RIFF Jtag.
anyway, @T-Macgnolia, please PM me with the information
I would LOVE to have this phone up and running again

Sounds like they did not use a JTAG fore the T-Mobile HTC HD2 as it is one for the TMOUS and one foe the international HD2. or they did not have the correct software for the HD2. I tend to think it was the first reason.
I got your PM froibet and sent one back to you with the info you wanted. best of luck man.

vancouver. It's very difficult to find a JTAG store in my area.
The repair shop said that they will give it one more go tonight and if everything fails, then they will just give it back to me no fees.
There are other repair stores here but from what I asked them, it seems like they do flashing only and not JTAG--they say that they do not disassemble the phone and just connect through usb, which I don't think will work.
Is there something I can tell the repair store that's JTAGing my HD2 right now? Such as using the TMOUS version instead of international?

If they are doing it via USB they will not get it to work no matter what they use.

Download the stock rom for your location, expand it, and rename the nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh, copy it to the root folder of SD card, put the SD card into HD2. Then, hold the vol-down and press power on. You will see a screen for flash original ROM.

Can anyone shed any light on internal NAND failure?

okay. got it back from the shop. now it won't recognize as qualcomm :\

Basically it means your NAND chip is screwed, and it is time for a new main board cause you can not replace the NAND chip by itself. The NAND is where your OS resides and other things to. Go to the link belowvto learn more about what a NAND chip iscand does.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

so not being able to establish a connection with the JTAG is pretty much a dead NAND?
it doesn't recognize the device as a qualcomm cdma anymore when plugged into my pc =_=

Yeah if it is not recognizing it as qualcomm cdma anymore and they can not establish a connnection with the JTAG connected to the main board then you bread another main board as it sounds like not only your NAND chip iscahot but your processeor too.

what great luck. better give those guys at the store a call cuz before i gave the phone to them, it was recognizing the phone as a qualcomm and not anymore ughh

okay this IS VERY WEIRD.
I managed to get the HD2 to boot....
i just held the power button and popped in a battery and VOILA booted.
seriously, what the hell is happening in this phone?!

Your HD2 is possessed ha ha....
No seriously though I have no idea what is wrong with your phone bit it is exhibiting odd behaviour. Maybe the repair shop did fix it with JTAG and just didn't think they did, if so you got out of having to pay them for it.
Or maybe it was not bricked in the first place and you just was not holding the volume down button down long enough or all the way down, who knows. But atleast it booted up that is a major plus. Keep us informed of any further updates man.

I bet you a thousand dollars it was as simple as the battery pins weren't completely touching the battery so it "didn't boot no matter what" then when you reinserted the battery it caught the pins and booted, lol.

It still should have connected via JTAG though. I'm glad you got this going. PM me or Magnolia if you have any other issues.

HD2 Problems with USB, not being recognized, can't enter bootloader

Hello everybody! It's samanen here, a newbie on xda. NOOOB
For first I'd like to apologize my not-so-good english, I'm 15 and from Finland so please keep the point in the problems and forget my english difficulties
Ok, splutting off and let's move to the point here
So I bought my HD2 (used) about two weeks ago, and right away tried to put WP7/android on it and sync music, contacts, videos and other stuff - but my USB connection didn't, and still doesn't work.
Ofcourse I tried reconnecting, cleaning the usb cable and port on the phone, tried another PCs and total of 10 different USB ports, another cable, Mac OS, Win7, WinXP, SyncMate, WMDC, ActiveSync, removing the battery, resetting the phone, removing SD-Card and SIM-Card, ActiveSync, Hard Disk and Faster data sync options, etc etc with no positive result. Its no fun having a mobile device with no access to put media and other stuff on it :/
Specs and facts:
HTC HD2 (aka Leo), non-T-Mobile (EU version?)
Software info:
Os Version : 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila version : 2.5.20181527.0
ROM version : 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM date : 09/29/10
Radio version : 2.15.50.14
Protocol version : 15.42.50.11U
Hardware info:
CPU : QUALCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed : 1024 Mhz
RAM size : 448MB
Flash memory size : 512MB
Enough numbers?
I think I have tried all the stuff I found here... Still no result, can't be detected on my PC. When I connect my phone to my PC, a notification pops up saying that USB device couldn't be detected/recognized, and it may be damaged. 1 second after it popped up it disappears and if I check the devices connected to the pc, there's no undetected devices anymore.. If I'm quick enough to click on the notification, it shows me what devices are connected and their situations, and I can see an undetected USB device there, but if I refresh (reopen) the window it disappears..
Also, if I use the option "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC." and connect to a PC via USB, it STILL does charge the battery. So my hypothesis is that the phone believes it's on a charger/car kit because its not getting recognized as a USB hard disk/device on my PC and still charges as it's connected to PC. Could this be possible in any way?
Also, when I got the phone and put it on the charger, CoPilot popped up every second (I closed it, it opened, etc) and I had to uncheck some option "When connected to a car kit open CoPilot automatically", so another thing there which refers to my phone being a psycho and believing its being on a charger.
I know there are people with this problem, and topics on this forum, but I think my problem is a bit different from theirs and nobody has really got an answer for this..
Then to my second problem. I can't enter Bootloader mode, or Hard Reset mode.
When I hold down the volDown button and press the bootup button, my phone either normally boots up or doesn't even boot up or show signs of booting into bootloader.
Once I got into the bootloader after dozens of tries, but as I'm stupid, I didn't write down the numbers shown there.. And now I seem not to be able to enter bootloader even after 20 tries.. Hardreset neither works. Same plan - either normally boots up or doesn't do anything. Weirdo much? Can anyone help? :/ I think I've bought an useless device..
Thanks,
samanen

Hi man! Try to flash your phone from SD card with stock ROM. Hope you will get good result! Let me know what happens!

Maybe it is your usb cable. I also can not sync with the cable that was delivered with the official carkit. It is just possible to load the device with that cable.
Your bootloader problem could be caused by broken volume buttons. I think they often get destroyed when replacing a broken touch screen. Do they work without problems inside the os?

Hai there! Thanks for your suggestion! What rom version would you recommend? I'm such a noob with these roms etc so I'd appreciate much if you/somebody could tell me what to use I will try that as soon as I find my microSD->SD adapter (Im afraid it got into vacuum cleaner as I cleaned my room ), also I have no idea how that's done but I believe there's a tutorial on xda.

I have tried 2 different cables, one from the package the previous owner provided me and another one from my dad's N97 mini. Could I be so unlucky that those cables are ones that don't work with HD2? I hope I am If you think its about the cable, what cable would you suggest me to get? Just a basic microusb cable from the electonic store? Also the previous owner told me he wiped out all the data and synced the phone before sending it to me WITH the cable provided, so.. Idk Strange.
No, my volume buttons are working great inside the os, I can adjust vol down and up well without any problems. Also my volbuttons are not sticky or feel like broken so I just don't believe that theyre damaged. Also the screen has never got damaged or repaired.
Another problem - Isn't it required to enter bootloader mode when updating the rom? :/
Thanks for both of you for your replies and suggestions, I will keep you updated if anything helps or gets clarified!
-samanen

Sorry then i can not help you. I do not think it is the cable. I bought one on amazon. It is official htc charging and syncing cable. This just came to my mind because you said that your copilot starts if you plug your phone in....
If you want to install another winmo rom you can do it when connected via active sync and it will automatically go to bootloader. If you want to install hspl for custom roms or android you have to go to bootloader for the installation.

Man, do you think they could fix this in warranty/quaranty? I have still warranty left on this one and i think I could get a new one/HD7 in return

Yeah. They must fix it if you dont damaged phone mechanically(maybe previous owner replaced screen) or you dont flash hspl magld android Leo is still The King i think. Here more opportunities than in HD7 On eBay HD7 cheaper than HD2 because WP7 os not good than android let me know whats up!

No, I've never dropped it or anything and when it came from the previous owner the usb didnt work, and he has never replaced anything on this model (his previous model was replaced to this, completely new one because his previous model stopped working with no reason).
Maybe I should contact the warranty Thanks for the answers, let's see what they can do!

I changed my old iPhone 3G 16Gb white, in terrible condition to this HD2 and paid 100€ Yeah android or WP7 would be soo super cool, the customizability is the thing why I chose HD2! It's amazing how there are still developers developing new stuff for HD2, I highly aprreciate their work
Waiting for their reply from the warranty center!

Let me know. Whats going on! And i will help you to install all)

Still no reply, wow. Today I got a message that my phone will be back in two weeks. Slow service.
They also told me, that as the usb is LOOSE when you plug the cable in, it may be my fault. wow. So they're not repairing it for free i quess..

My phone is back..
Ok, got my phone back. The mohterboard has been damaged, they told me it had got wet. That's something what's not under warranty, so they're not repairing it for free. The repair would cost almost 500€ so it's totally not worth it. The report says: USB-Connectiong is loose (from other components), also injury with water in screen and motherboard.
Seems that the last owner already knew it's damaged and sold me a damaged one, as he told me it's working 100%.
So, I don't have a clue what to do next. I think I should try repairing it myself but is it worth it? Or worth trying? Where can i get the parts and tutorials how to do this? I think i gotta only repair the usb thingy but i'm not sure - I'd love to get some help now. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem and it seemed that my cable was loose. You can try repairing it by yourself (it's not under warranty) or trying different pc/cable.

Try this : go to your pc and remove USB driver from application control panel,and after reconnect hd2.
Probably us not a cable problem, but drivers problems.
Bye.

Best way to Brick/Break my HD2

Hi. I have a problem with my HD2 and I didn't find a solution how to fix it for over a month and I don't think I will find it. My problem explained (HERE) So now I want to Brick / Brake my phone so that I can send it to my insurance and they will not able to tell that I had Android on it, as now I can't install WM and I can't rid of MAGLDR. So what will be the best way to Brick / Break my phone so what whey will not be able to turn my phone on or fix it and find out that it’s been hacked as then I will not get a new one or they will not fix it. Waiting for advices

I see a lot of solutions, but nobody seems to have told you to boot up your phone using volume down, which gets you directly into the bootloader, from where you can flash the Winmo 6.5 ROM.
Did you try that?
Otherwise there are numerous ways of trashing it i guess... mess around with electrical wiring and make sure the mainboard has a power spike or something... then you're sure nobody will be able to do something with it

Of course I tried it. The problem is that for some reason I can't get into bootloader, and I tried to do that 100 times with all different methods with no luck. I only can get into MAGLDR. I wrote all this in my first message in that threat

Well, from what i can understand after looking at your original post, you cannot enter the tri-color bootloader? Well, have you tried a hard reset? And, when you mentioned liquid entered your phone, you should also check the water indicator stickers on your phone and battery to see if they are pick or red. Else, they will not bother replacing or repairing it. Have you also tried resetting Android from MAGLDR? Back to your request, if you cannot enter the bootloader and unable to flash anything, the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void. The best way to physically damage your phone might be to short circuit it. Alternatively, if you just do not want them to know that you have flashed MAGLDR, you should damage the ribbon cable for the LCD. You have to unscrew the phone for this,but do gently remove the warranty and water indicator stickers before this. Please do explore all avenues like a hard reset and Android reset

i just got off the phone with htc and thay still fix the phone even if it has android on it thay will just replace the main bord because thay dont know how to fix it. but i have bricked my phone alredy and it wont turn on at all due to flashing a wrong rom on it that was ment for a diffrent country my phone is htc hd2 tmoble us. anyway you may just want to fix it your self and use the riff jtag box

Yes, I cannot enter bootloader and yes I tried hard reset (with volume up and down keys) with no luck. I checked my indicator stickers and they all look fine (white). The liquid damage was not a water damage I get a little bit of oily liquid on my phone but just a little, so very little of it could get inside my phone if any, but after that my phone just frozen on android screen and when I tried to reset it, it’s always freezes on android boot screen. And yes I tried resetting Android from MAGLDR, I even tried to install different android soft but after installation it still freezes on android boot screen.
Code:
the easiest ways to brick(any maybe recover) your phone are all void
Can you explain more about his one? And how I can do that?
I don't really want to unscrew anything because if I going to do something wrong I would void my insurance and they not going to change it at all. I was thinking maybe just drop it in a big cup of water and hold it for like 30sec - 1min. I think my insurance will cover water damage and I think whey not even going to bother to fix it. What do you think?

it was on magdlr installed and i hard reset it to install the original software. then i left the room came back, found it blank screened. now ive tried charging it and turning it on and off and nothing happens.

If you were flashing a Windows Mobile ROM and the battery died, your HD2 is hard bricked. The only solution to un brick it is to replace the main board or have it JTAGed. The same is true if you were doing a hard reset and the battery died, cause it is accentually flashing the stock ROM from memory. If you live in the US I can refer you to some one here if you live in Europe I can suggest someone from there too, just send me a PM.

thanks. but im all the way in the philippines. ill drop by htc here and ask if they can do it. whats JTAGED?

is there any other way to fix it? without opening it?

1st - you can ignore tmacs post of doom,,running out of battery while flashing winmo doesn't automatically hard brick it, , I've pulled the battery / USB cord during flashing four or five times. Its only while the spl/radio part of the flash is hapoenijg that
there's danger.
2nd - can't charge under magldr when android isn't booted. That's why you aren't getting a charge light.
Either charge your battery in another phone/external charger, or cut the end off a USB cable (mini or micro, doesn't matter) bare red and black and hold red to + black to - on the battery and hold for a minute or two,,more, since you need to have enough power to do a full flash. Ten mins maybe, using wall charger, not USb port.

Hmmm I never thought about that option but then again I am not brave enough to pull my battery while flashing .
At the OP, mc23w, take samsamuel's advice. After I read his post I agree he is probably right, He has given you some very good advice. I was strickly going on the following statement in post #1.
it wont turn on and when i plug it in it has no red or green light.

i think tmac was right though. i think its bricked cuz i held the wires to the battery for 3 min and when i plug my hd2 into my laptop, the laptop makes a strange noise similar to when you plug a usb into a laptop, but the screen of my hd2 is still blank.

Does it show up as QualComm something or another in the device manger on your computer while you have your HD2 plugged in via USB cable?

Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, this pops up

ah well in that case it sounds like a regular stock rom flashed to a tmous hd2. (putting 'i have a tmous hd2 and i flashed xxyyzz.exe rom'' in your first post would have been the key piece of info.
So, tmac's earlier summary was correct, , you need a new mainboard, or get it JTAGged.

what is JTAGged? you think they can do that in the htc store? though im guessing their going to want to get a new mainboard because it makes them more money

JTAG is a device that connects to the main board of the HD2. (The main board has to be removed for this.) The JTAG also connects to a adapter called a Oemni Repair Tool (ORT) and then is connected to a Riff Box and then to a computer. Software you run on your computer for the Riff Box reserects (re writes) the SPL to the main board. once the main board is back in and the HD2 is completely reassembled you can boot to the bootloader and flash a ROM again.
Edit: Just to let you know you can generally get a HD2 JTAGed for $40 to $50 USD, I don't know what that would be in your local currency.

ive lived there so i know the price. but that will be hard to find here. i think ill just get a main board from ebay its about 55 bucks too

is this right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIPPI...Accessories&hash=item53e762eb60#ht_1275wt_958 mine is tmobile htc hd2, it says not compatible. would you know where i can buy one that is compatible?

No that looks like it is the mainboard for those HD2 clone devices. They are just cheep knock off versions. You do not want that one.

how about this one? http://www.oemcellphoneparts.com/pr...d-Side-Volume-Key-PCB-HTC-Leo,-Firestone.html

The thread isn't mine, it's everyone's.
Okay, so the tablets don't have a cmos battery because of the form factor, instead their uefi firmware stores data on the chip itself. We need to trick the bios to make it appease corrupted so that the backup bios image gets restored. But we will need a photo of the bios chip to see what pins will be needed to short.
If your device has an hdmi port, then you can try connecting to a display, but i am not sure it will work.
Shorting the bios pins may not damage it if done correctly, but you take the risk.
And please, don't buy those chinese tablets, they will break down suddenly.

The chip with the green dot on it is the bios chip in my tablet. The alphanumerical code on it is what you'll need.

make screenshots of Motherboard
It has mini hdmi connector
Here we go
Thanks

This is your bios chip (in the attachment). What does it read on it? Search google for the model of the chip like "winbond xxxxxxxxxx bios reset" (where xxxxxxx is your code on that chip).

Hi
I made with fino ....
Too little text but now can be reader
I have to search all the numbers?
Thanks
Hope for Victory

This site has some tips on what to short.

this site also has some tips, but not guaranteed to work.
just don't short wrong things, be careful

Nothing, happened, dead only CPU and coprocessor hot to cook eggs.
First irulu stop sign of life I see enter the BIOS without my needs,I see screen a white flash and after nothing.
I think the screen dead or coprocessor
Because when I put the charge the blue led is on.
But also when I connect the keyboard the power on led remain off.
If you want and have superpowers I send to you,and you can see if fix
Or I buy a cheap china chuwy 3g dual OS,win+android 7
And 2 years warranty.
What you think about
Bye

Your device is fine, just the bios needs to be reset or reflashed. Can you try entering DnX mode? But you'll need your firmware files (stock rom).

What's dnx mode
Explain me
I do short pin 2 with charge in no luck!
It has a reset button,but no luck,!
Where's the ground in my tablet
Different motherboard from the link you give
Want try again........
Bye

Dnx mode is like qualcomm's download mode, but on intel baytrail devices. On my tablet, you enter using pressing vol up + vol down + power.
This method will work IF you have stock firmware and ONLY IF the stock firmware has a bios image. If you don't have stock firmware or it doesn't contain bios image then don't bother.

What confusion
But why they do a reset button?
I press it but nothing happen
It's not equipped baytrail,want me send your house irulu,you can see if you can beat or use as
A floating disk.
I switch for a cheap chuwy tablet,I have no money
To spend for a trusted tablet.
Thank
I am the only one in this thread has encounter issues, but without fixed
See if Christpp are ready to trow us OREO for fino

That reset button resets OS, not the bios.
Keep that tablet, maybe you will solve the problem later. Give it to a PC repair store, tgey must have equipment to flash a damn bios chip.
About the call recording, tasker might help although i don't know how to manage it, so don't ask.

If you know how to enter the bios, then press F9 and enter to return to default settings.

Only both USB seem work and Bluetooth
Want pair
But keyboard lights off
Mean keyboard don't do anything because
Is off.
I try USB keyboard but off.
I hear no sounds .
Another hints?
Seem likely the irulu is possessed by an obscure presence
Only HDMI can do the clue.
But BIOS technically if I remove an hardware's don't seem to emits sounds.
I admitting no buy irulu tablet in future.
I want a tablet is easy to recovered even in BIOS corrupted situations.
Can you give me the name of a laptop fit this
Specs,strongly and easy .
Bye thank for supporting me in this adventure but with a dead ending.
Bye and go for fino now .

Technically, it's not the tablet's fault, you changed some incompatible settings.
Yea, they compiled a ****ty bios, but chuwi won't be better. They're all the same, manufactured in a same place but with different branding.
I'd say, look for refurbished laptops or netbooks, like from asus, dell, hp, you get it. They will last longer than these chinese tablets. If you find one in a mint condition.

HDMI mini to HDMI cable when tomorrow I try
Tell me I remembered
I select under USB tab legacy on
What's and what do that
I also under screen have selected HDMI.
If I sure this,because,the tablet is on,screen is off
Usb charge only,keyboard is off
China tablet same china microsd card.
But THL is a China phone and work great and I have from 7 years paying $178,
But I don't love to loose, I wants revenge,i sell PC and repairs from 8 years, no one in my life I have destroyed.
Bye
