Possible Bricked HD - Help!

Hi All,
A couple of days ago, my HD was slow to respond so I did a soft reset. However, it got stuck on the 'smart mobility' startup message and wouldnt go any further.
As a test, I reflashed a radio via the SD card but this had no effect either. So I bit the bullet and reflashed another ROM from the SD card. This seemed to work and the new ROM loaded as normal but after a couple of soft resets the same thing happened (wouldnt go past 'smart mobility' on boot).
Today I flashed HardSPL again via SD but that didnt seem to work. Now my device goes straight into bootloader mode and says 'Upgrade ROM code error Please try again'.
Ive started to pull my hair out on this one, so any advice is much appreciated at this point!!
What next steps can I take?

remove the battery for 30 minutes or so then try flashing a stock ROM from SD, if you haven't yet. Also you can try flashing via RUU, just remove the SD from the slot.
If that doesn't help, perform a hard reset...

I managed to get it going by reflashing hardspl and putting on a new rom. However after a few reboots, the phone just keeps getting stuck at 'smart mobility'.
I cant keep doing hard resets as this happens everytime after soft restarting.

If the problem persists with a stock ROM and original SPL, take it back to you vendor for repair/replacement.

Ive managed to get it going with stock SPL and panosha rom.
Is it possible a corrupt memory card is causing this as now its removed, the issues no longer happen (or is it just coincidence)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could be a coincidence. If you revert back to the ROM that kept failing, what happens now?

Thats actually the ROM ive been having issues with (sticking with it as I know something else is at fault here, not the ROM).
I havent tested very much yet, just using another phone for now until I get more time.

Freeze on "quietly brilliant" after rom flash

Hi guys
I have re-downloaded the ROM, and also tried flashing with a completely different one, one Sense based the other generic android 2.1 based... That one freezes on the 4 colour pyrotechnics nexus splash screen.
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks
Mark

UPDATE:
It seems that I CAN restore to a nanbackup and get back to Sense, but without my settings intact. As soon as I try to flash to ANY rom again, it will still freeze at quietly brilliant or the nexus 4 colour splash.
Ive tired an SD repair, wiped everything I could wipe using the bootloader menu... so why all of a sudden this, I have often flashed with no problem in the past.
Tx
Mark.

yeah dat happens to mine now iv had to revert back to the stock android 1.5, im still rotted tho... its disappointing

Same here, tried the Villain Mod, freezes on this screen.
Attempting to restore now...

[Q] HD2 Windows/Android problem

Trying to get some help regarding my HTC HD2 Leo for Tmobile. For some reason any windows rom i flash, it will always crash. It will either crash on its own during boot up,after boot up, while im doing something on it, or while i have it locked in my pocket. My phone worked fine before i tried to flash a new windows rom and install a new Android. I went over the steps i did before my phone started being jacked up, i cant seem to figure out what i did wrong.
What i did before the problem:
-Clear storage under windows
- Task 29, held the volume button down once it hit 100%, this put it into boot loader again.
- I flashed the windows rom that was used by dark-stone on his site. ( which i cant post since im new or something) <<< i was trying to use same windows build as him and update my android that he put out on Oct 17th.
- Once my windows rom flashed and it booted up is when it started screwing up, freezing, shutting off by its self after boot, not booting up once i would restart it and also if i left the phone on the tmobile screen it would vibrate like 5-6 times then stop
What i have tried since my issues:
- I tried to flash my old windows roms, with many others that i had before that worked fine. All of these i tried gave me same problems
- i tried to update to the new T-Mobile update that posted on October 20th, and i also tried old version of tmobiles stock roms. Same issues again
- I tried re doing task29, tried new radios, resets of all sorts
I do have HSPL on my phone, always have since i first started flashing roms.
At this point i have a windows rom that can last me couple hours without crashing, so i can text and call. However its really annoying since the phone seems to be fine i doubt i bricked it since it lets me flash new roms and radios. Should i just take off HSPL and reset everything and get this HD2 exchanged, or does anyone by any chance have a way of helping my figure this out, or have any suggestions i could try.
Its keeping me from using windows and even better android
Thank you

Tried to install CM7 - now I can't get anywhere.

Hi all,
I'm having a little problem. I have researched but everything I've found leads me back to square one...
So I followed this guide to installing CM7 on my M2. Please note that I have in the past successfully rooted my phone, installed the Argenstone ROM and one other basic Great Britain Rom. So I'm not a total nub. However at this stage I have a phone that's is useless to me...
My phone is rooted. I have Droid2Bootstapper installed and I managed to get the CWM 3.X installed. I downloaded the all-in-one.zip file from the CM7 ROM thread (the zip is actually called EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip - hope that's not an issue?)
I booted into CWM and applied the EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip and after (without a reboot) wiped everything (I had backed it up previously).
I rebooted the phone and...well I get the Google logo with the Motorola M and the Cyanogen bot as the 2 'O' characters. Then after a while a 3D rotating 'square' and the android writing and logo 'shimmering' in and out but that just goes on forever. I left it for an hour at one point and just gave up.
Now I can't even get past the Google logo. I've tried restoring my previous back up but that won't work either. I can't boot into the OS to actually use RSD lite to flash a known working ROM over the top.
When the LED turns blue and I hit the volume key it displays "Android BootMenu <v1.0.3>" which is different to the CWM 3.X that I was getting prior to applying the EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip file.
From here I can select to recover the last 'latest recovery' which when done loads into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.6-defy.
Basically I'm at this point where I seem to be able to load just about every boot menu under the sun and do everything but actually launch the damn OS.
How can I get out of this hole? Preferably I'd like to get everything back to the stock ROM the phone came with so that I can start from scratch again.
Any bodies help would be more than appreciated.
Cheers,
- Matt
EDIT: I have even used CWM 4.X+ to try and restore the Argenstone ROM. it goes through the whole process of checking the MD5 sums, restoring the system and boot images etc and seems to work without any issues. I then wipe all data and reboot. Nothing - still the same cyanogen Google logo and the only thing I can do is boot into all the CWM menus.
*sigh*

Argh feel like a true idiot now. It took me about an hour of searching earlier but I've only just found/remembered how to get RSD lite to see my phone (pwr+volume+camera) and I'm wiping the whole thing to the factory (vodafone) ROM. Might take the opportunity to take it to Vodafone and tell them it never gets a damn 3G connection lol...provided this flash works (touch wood).

Opinionated HTC HD2

Hello everyone.
Two days ago a friend of me asked if I could install Android on his "new" HTC HD2.
As I installed Android on serval HD2's I said yes, no problem at all.
But once he came to my house and I started working on it only trouble is what came to me.
The HD2 was stock so Windows Mobile was running on it.
I install HSPL4 , no problem.
Flashed the radio, no problem.
Installed cLK, no problem.
Installed recovery : PROBLEM.
The trouble started from there.
The phone did not reboot, even tough it said "rebooting phone"
So what I did is unplug the phone, Task29'd it and did everything over again.
Than, I got an error on the radio installation.
The phone rebooted and when I got to the tri colour screen I was shocked.
It said some kind of "error rom update failed"
After this nothing worked, installing a Radio failed, installing the stock firmware downloaded from HTC failed etc.
Only flashing HSPL4 and Task29 worked, so I tought I was screwed.
I readed many many threads and somewere I got to the "Chill in fridge trick"
So I putted the phone in the freezer for 10minutes, copied the nbh file from the stock Windows Mobile rom to the SD Card and TADAAA! It worked!
So, here I was, back on Windows Mobile, trying again! to install Android.
As long as I kept the phone cold everything worked, also installing cLK and Clockworkmod.
But now here the thing is: Installing and running Cyanogemod is no problem at all, Cyanogenmod boots and run fine.
But when I want to install a sense rom, it works as long as the phone is cold.
When the phone gets to normal temps it stops responding and tries to reboot.
It stays stuck on the boot, and I have to put it in the freezer again to make it work.
This problem only occures with a sense rom!!
Windows Mobile rom doe snot have any problems, also Cyanogenmod does not have any problems.
The phone does still have warranty, but as the phone does not have problem with Windows Mobile I don't think I can send it to HTC for repair, as I think this is a hardware problem.
Does any of you know what I could do in this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance!!!

Oops, Admins, this one is duplicate, I refreshed the page and accidently clicked post thead twice, can you delete this one please? Thanks!

Did you flash magldr?

AFAIK HSPL4 is not for Android but only for Windows Mobile.
