Issue with an HD2 bootloader! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Okay i have a question, my friend brought me an hd2 phone similar to the one i have. Thing is that he tried to install android on it and im not sure what he did wrong. I can reach MAGLDR when i turn on the phone but it wont boot on android and or reach the bootloader no matter what i do. Question is, is there anyway to flash a bootloader via the usb flasher on MAGLDR or is the phone simply bricked because of that?? By the way yes i have taken the battery out tons of times and tried to turn on with button down and power and even tried the reset button on the back of the phone without luck.

Try only holding the volume down and plugging the phone into a computer. If that doesn't work, you can install different android ROM's through recovery and some old ones even flash through usb flasher. It was probably a bad install and at least it will boot into android when you clean flash a different ROM.

Hey thanks for the fast response. Ok the thing is, that he installed MAGLDR 1.11. And i cant see any option to get into AD recovery. But to be honest ive never used 1.11 before so i dont know if its possible to use cwm with it. Anyways, I tried with 2 different roms via usb flasher but it wont load android. In fact, when i turn it on and it boots everything seems to be fine. After the GO GO GO it will just show the DFT logo and it stays like that. I tried the DLdesire rom earlier and now it wont show the DFT logo but the DLdesire one. But it just stays there and thats it. Like i said, I cant reach the bootloader and im afraid i wont be able to update MAGLDR to 1.13.

That takes me to antoher question. Will MAGLDR work even when maybe he didnt install HSPL? Because the only thing i can think of is that maybe he didnt. Oh well, who knows what was done to that phone . Anyways if someone have gone thru something similar please i need advice.

Hspl and radio must be already correct since magldr starts. The phone would go immediately to the splashscreen and hang there if either were wrong. You wouldn't see magldr at all.
" ad recovery" is only an option in magldr 1.13,, for 1.11 you would find the SD card version of cwm and start it by choosing "ad SD" in magldr.
As for "can't enter bootloader" ( I assume you're doing it right... voldown held, power tap and release) the only time I've seen that fixed was recently when a Guy disconnected the hard key ribbon cable, but that could be a fluke/totally different problem, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Ok so if im getting into MAGLDR it means that even though i cant reach the bootloader i can still flash a rom and it will work. So far i have tried a couple roms via usb flasher and none of them work.

Also, im looking up in google for the SD version of CWM for about an hour now and all i can find is the magldr 1.13 tutorials and stuff like that. Is there a special version of CWM for SD and if so, can someone provide a link on that?

Look for the thread titled something like "clockwork recovery yes/no " (look for the yes/no part especially) there are three versions in there, nand flash, update.zip and SD versions.
As for using USB flasher to flash roms, as far as I know only the first, proof of concept rom uses USB flasher mode,, all the recent roms are flashed from SD card through cwm.

Allright thanks a lot m8! you have been very helpful... happy new year by the way!

Okay, i still have issues with the HD2. I know im doing everything the way its supposed to be, and still when i hit AD sd the phone will do everything fine and even the GO GO GO message but still no recovery at all. If i try to install a sd type rom it will boot up to the Roms splash screen but that is it, it wont go further. What i dont understand is that MAGLDR will work just fine, adn when i flash anything the phone will take it with no errors. But then it wont load the recovery and or specific rom... Any ideas what might be???? Just remember, im not able to boot from the bootloader so im trapped inside MAGLDR.

[Q] How can I boot WM 6.5 After Installing MAGLDR 1.13

It is said that you have to hold the power button to load MAGLDR after resetting the phone, but when I reset the phone it automatically boots to MAGLDR, instead of WM 6.5. Can you guys tell me how to access WM 6.5 from MAGLDR?
I forgot to mention that I always get this message before it boots to MAGLDR after resetting.
Rebooting Android from SD
Android loads at 11000000
From MicroSD
Load zIMAGE
K:\ zIMAGE
SD Kernal Open Failed.
Should I be concerned?
I haven't installed Android yet, but I'm in the process of installing Clockwork 1.3
I also tried to do a factory reset through MAGLDR, but it only goes back to the MAGLDR main screen. Help? Please?
First of all, use the "edit post" button to add text to the first post instead of making two new
Yesterday I got the exact same problem. Someone said that it is because the MAGLDR can't see the wrongly flashed ROM. However, I did not notice that it is something wrong with it.
What ROM do you have and which HSPL version ?
I had WinMo 1.46 stock and HSPL 2.08
my apologies.
stock? i'm using Radio 2.15 HSPL 2.08
did you correct your problem?
would it be safe to manually hard reset?
You can't boot Windows Mobile 6.5 if you have MAGLDR installed. But there is simply way back - just run RUU with stock 1.48 ROM on your PC, while having your HD2 connected to PC (phone has to be in bootloader, that rainbow screen).
I didn't correct my problem. I had to flash WinMo back from the SD card but the raven_raven's method is also possible.
So raven, why I can't boot into WinMo with MAGLDR? I've seen many people doing that by not keeping the power button pressed
From what I know, it's impossible to boot into WM6.5 if you have MAGLDR on your device. Its purpose is to load Linux kernel, not WM .
I'm kinda confused right now
If you flashed MAGLDR, why would you want to use WinMo? The main purpose of MAGLDR is to boot Android/WP7 on the NAND. It over-writes the WinMo you had on it before.
The error you're getting, you shouldn't be worried about it at all. All it is is that you haven't flashed a ROM yet. What do you mean you're in the process of flashing Clockwork? It's not hard... just flash the DFT file on your PC via the USB Flasher option and you'll have Clockwork. Then you install your .zip ROM, reboot and you won't get an error anymore as you'll have a ROM flashed.
Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.
I can't access the USB Flasher. When I connect my phone to my PC, my SD card doesn't show up, instead, its recognized as an "unspecified" MAGLDR driver. I can't do anything with that.
But I can access my SD card through USB Mass Storage, but I don't want to install DFT on Mass Storage when I'm told to use USB Flasher. I don't want to do anything stupid

the usb flasher option is not to mount your sd card, it is just used to flash files/roms via daf.exe. use the usb flasher to install clockworkmod1.3, once that is done boot back into magldr and go to ad recovery, and recovery should start. from there you can mount as usb mass storage. i belive the one in magldr doesn't work very well, or at all for some, the one in clockwork always seems to work well for me.
guys its simple your not supposed to use MAGLDR if your going ot go back WM6.5.
tunr your phone off. hold the volume down button and press the power button, do not let go of the volume button, its going to bring you a tri colored screen. once your in that screen plug in your USB cable to the phone and to your computer. once that is doen flash a official WM6.5 rom let it do what it does,its going to restart and there you go back on WM6.5
there is no way you can boot Win 6.5 if you got MAGLDR, never seen it here
(unless someone shows a video or something)
the only way that can be achieved is to go into bootloader (tricolor screen)
and flash Win 6.5
I thought MAGLDR was for dualbooting. I wanted to go back to 6.5 in case I ran into any problems with the android builds Nontheless, I successfully installed Cyanogenmod, and it works perfectly. I dont think i'll be going back to 6.5.
Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated.
Hold volume down and power button when turning the phone on, it will get you into tree color screen...then plug your phone into pc .....on the of run rom installer for win 6.5 and after it is done you should be able to boot into win 6.5.

Hi guys!
I have the same problem.
my question is if I the official ROM is it going to erase/format the old one that I had?
The reason is that I did not backup everything and it would be nice if I could go back and get the rest of my contacts...
Is there any way of having a dual boot
BEWARE: complete noob!!!

Are you honestly incapable of reading? What kind of complete MORON flashes something to their phone without a full knowledge of exactly what it will do?! If you install WinMo again you will have lost all of your data that is on the internal storage of your phone, and to be honest you deserve it if you are stupid enough to flash something without reading about what it does.
On a more positive note, you can flash NAND Android instead of reflashing WinMo if you want, using this guide. Since you would go ahead and flash this without reading up about it, I should probably warn you that IT WILL DELETE WINMO FROM YOUR PHONE! Is that clear enough for you?

Stuck on "Go Go Go"

Hey guys, I've managed to install MAGLDR on my HD2, and I have tried to install CWM.
First I tried v1.3 and everything went OK till i got stuck on the "Go Go Go" screen.
Then I tried v1.2 using my SD card, but i still end up with the same problem.
The thing is I don't have any ROM installed on my HD2 so I can't do anything more !
Would greatly appreciate your help =)
do you use MAGLDR 1.13?
did you try and reinstall your ROM?
Do you use a compatible radio?
Yep I'm on 1.13
I can't do much more, my HD2 won't even boot into the bootloader ! I'm basically stuck on MAGLDR with no ROM and no ability to install back a standard windows ROM

I followed the steps carefully, so it should be OK but how can I be sure ?
Make sure your battery pins aren't loose. Push them back with your finger and try again.

Tried about everything I could hardware-wise without tearing it apart... unfortunately the battery pins don't change anything.
Quite a few members seem to be facing the same problem recently: no access to the bootloader, stuck on MALDR... wonder what's the problem.
The only thing I can do is run WP7 on it, which is not very usable.
i made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945427
maybe it helps?
Thanks yz.hd but I can't get to the bootloader (volume down + power only brings me to MAGLDR), nor CWM...
It's not possible to only be able to get to MAGLDR and not bootloader I don't think. Just hold down the volume button and then power on while still holding down the power button and see what happens. I had a problem like that where my HD2 would get stuck at "1234" and then stopped and rebooted. The battery pins where the cause.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I've tried loads of times, the combo volume down + power really doesn't bring anything up, no matter which way I put it... a complete mystery !
So you've tried to install CWM? Did it work or not? Are you able to go to the USB flasher in Magldr? And install it again, try to see if the AD Recovery works?
Yep, I tried again, the USB flasher works perfectly fine, CWM installs perfectly. But when I go to Ad recovery, it still stays on "Go Go Go!".
Same thing if i install CWM via my SD card
Try formatting SD card (you will lose your data). Try again.
How long does it hang?
If that doesn't work, try to install a DAF rom, and see what happens.
you probably don't have the 'copy to sd' folder in the root of your sd?

What do you mean by a DAF Rom ? One that is directly bootable from MAGLDR ? I have tried a WP7 rom which works ok. But I still can't install a bootloader to bring it back to WP 6.5 and start the process all over again to install CWM...
@DKxda: is it necessary to have a folder ? I copied the two files directly in the root of my SD.
DAF rom is a rom that doesn't use CWM to run (directly from magldr).
Nope I'm still stuck on Go Go Go if I want to install a DAF Android ROM (no problem with WP7 ROMs though)...
Sorry mate, I'm out of options you could try (well, install CLK, but you need the bootloader for that...)
Hope someone else will help you fix this!
Edit: When does it get stuck at go go go? Immediately at boot or after selecting Boot AD Nand?
You can try to ask it in the Magldr Thread, cause it seems like a Magldr problem to me...

Well, since yesterday I'm getting a similar issue!
Stuck at go go go or just after on the boot screen which is completely messed I get the top 1/4 screen ok, the rest is bad lines, then the bottom half is dark.
Yesterday I tried installing a CM7 build for my HD2... stuck at Android logo...
So I reflashed CWM Recovery 400Mb partition ok, restored my last backup and rebooted... Now I have this issue all the time!
Tried my many backups, reflashing CWM Recovery a couple of times, factory reset from CWM or MAGLDR...
Nothing will do!
Is my HD2 dead or what????

htc hd2 blocked

Hi all, i have a problem with my htc hd2... i was using HyperDroidGBX-v12[GRI54-2.3.3][a2sd+][TytR8.3][INSANE SPEED]. it went great untill yesterday..
Now when power on the phone it seems to don't boot andorid..the android robot still freeze on the screen and it doesn't go forward.
i tried to reflash the rom but also when i launch ClockworkMod Recovery (3.2.0) it launch the ClockworkMod then on the screen it say go go go...but it doesn't go nowhere...
i tryed also to do an hard reset but i can't go in bootloader... it goes directly to the magldr screen.
i tryed to use an sd android rom and it make the same thing...go..go..go! but nothimg happen...
could be i have bricked my htc hd2?
someone can suggest me something to do excepr go and buy anothe phone?
thx to all
Happened to me yesterday. Just run usb flasher in magldr, reflash your partition and clockwork and start again
if you would have bricked it your phone would just do nothing.
if you can go into bootloader and even magldr everything is ok and you can make a freash clean install.
HI, thank you for your reply.
i was able only to reflash ClockworkMod.
i don't know how to reflash the partion if u mean using Recovery_150M i did it and nothing happen
So you reflashed the CWM partition and it still can't go into CWM?
And you're sure that when you hold vol down and then boot up the HD2, it doesn't go into the tri color screen?
Only thing I can offer to get a android build running is to flash say Cotulla's stock rom, or any rom that requires you to flash it through a DAF.exe.
yes... i reflashed CWM and nothing happened...still stocked on go go go! i left it in this way all the night and this morning still on go go go...
yes i'm sure tht when i boot the ophone holding vol down it doesn't go in bootloader
i tryed to star an android sd rom and it doesn't start... i think it is a magldr problem... there is a way to reflash magldr?
i tryed but it say rspl/rspl.cpp missing file...
thx to all
i also try to install a dft rom ([13.FEB.2011][DFT|CWM]AF403 DesireHD stock base 1.5 [/data ext4onSD][Krn:RAFPIGNA1.7]) but it the same...
now instead of the android robot freezed i have the htc green logo on black desktop
I think what you could do is:
Hold the volume down key and turn on the phone.
Then when the tricolor screen appears, flash MAGLDR 1.3 again. Then flash a fresh CWM right after that. Then try.
If still nothing, try a hard reset. if CWM manages to load, then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. format ur sd. create a new partition. then try flashing ur rom again.
If still nothing, then flash a stock ROM through DAF.exe; like Cotulla's stock rom.
he says that he can't get into the bootloader.
this is what sounds weird to me when he is able to boot into magldr and cwm but is not able to start the bootloader.
If the phone is powering to the point of seeing the MGLDR and or CWM then is not bricked and you're doing something wrong to not see the tricolored screen. Power down, power back up holding the volume button down and when you see the tricolored bootloader, let go of the volume button, now plug in your USB cable and when you see the USB at the bottom of the screen and the pc connects, flash task29, and redo your MGLDR and CWM partition, and flash rom again.
Some people think that you can brick an hd2 while in android, but you can't! The only way to brick the hd2 is flashing the wrong radio, or messing with the windows bootloader, if you ruin an android build, even messing around in the root folders, all you need is good old task29, and start over.
Sent from my HyperDroidCM7 HD2
thx to all... i confirm tht i cant go in bootloader...
i think is a problem of hot processor so the hd2 stop working...
i have read it in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081351&highlight=bootloader
i think i m going to put in the frezzer is my last chance
nothing to do... also putting the hd2 in the freezer...

[Q] Urgent Help Needed

So i tried flashing an android ROM but its stuck on the AD recovery go go go screen.
I also wanna task 29 but I don't know how to get to the bootloader from MAGLDR 1.3
someone help please !
ummm i dunno if magldr can switch you into the bootloader, but doesn't the regular way to get to the bootloader work?
regular way:
1. make sure phone is OFF...take out the battery and plug it back in to make sure
2. hold down the volume down button
3. tap the power/end call button to power on the device
4. keep holding down volume down button
...bootloader should appear!
i guess you are a senior member so you must be looking for something else, it can't be as simple as above, is it?

Mate,
how about flashing stock rom via SD? dont use your old sd, get the new one, and try to flash the stock rom.
If you can pass that, then you can go back to try magldr again
or else,
I think it may be a hardware issue related, may be the volume down button is damaged. If this the case, since you are in android nand, you cant flash stock rom from USB sync
I hope that is not the case though
goodluck

Hey blackashsid, sorry to hear you are having troubles. Without being able to get to the SPL bootloader you will not be able to flash any .nbh file to your HD2. This translates to you not being able to flash a Windows Mobile ROM stock or custom, a different radio version, splash screen, any HSPL or SPL, or cLK. And yes flashing via SD card is no good to you without the SPL bootloader.
Option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR will only flash CWM or A DAF ROM.
Your issue is somewhat strange to me, I really don't understand why you are having this issuer unless it is hardware related.

any reason why this happend ?
if you installed wp7 then it isnt an issue wth the phone, its quite possible the roms you are trying to install
Download again the rom you want to use... and make sure you read installing process - every android rom has his specific installing process - clockwork , ext3 ,ex4 etc etc.
I hope you solve your prolem

[Q] 2 dysfunctional HD2's Dont know what to do anymore

MY PROBLEM IS:​I can't get the HD2 into the bootloader and/or get my PC to recognize the phone via WMDC.
Its just so unresponsive, All its doing is Vibrating constantly/Vibrating patterns/black illuminated screens/ & very rarely, the "Loading please wait" screen with the green android and some other figure I forgot in the bottom right corner. Then on the top it gets stuck on the "aMAGLDR v1.11" and other descriptive words/numbers below it, on the top center.
- INTRO -​
Hi, I'm new to XDA-developers forum, and I have 2 non-working HD2's that have been sitting around for quite some time now.
I've recently tried to get it fixed and get into this type of phone modding, as I can see HD2's are very popular for tweaking software's and such.
I have been searching around the web, more so the XDA forums, for answers to my "Special case" (yes I've seen the video when you first sign up for an account on XDA, quite funny ) of a conundrum...
Anyway, 1 HD2 is fully dysfunctional and shows no sign of life (No vibration/lights) but the lower portion of the back does get warm when I try and charge it. I have no hope for this HD2 and I think its only good for spare parts for someone else.
The other HD2 is "somewhat" functional. Sometimes if I get lucky it vibrates continuously or repetitively.
What I know about the half functioning phone:
Let my friend have it, he did some flashing of the ROM, it stopped working after awhile, and then he gave it back to me because he got another phone.
Sometimes after turning it on, it gets suck on the "aMAGLDR v1.11" screen.
I've searched up "MAGLDR" and know that its some kind of custom bootloader or so.
I've searched up how to update it to "MADLDR v1.13" and update the radio and/or use the "RUU-LEO" file.
I have all those files&programs downloaded and ready to go.
Thank you for reading my thread​
It would be AWESOME if someone could help me, or even inform me of what has happened with it. If you need further answers about my two HD2's please ask me the questions, I would love to try and answer them!

Let my friend have it, he did some flashing of the ROM, it stopped working after awhile, and then he gave it back to me because he got another phone.
Sometimes after turning it on, it gets suck on the "aMAGLDR v1.11" screen.
I've searched up "MAGLDR" and know that its some kind of custom bootloader or so.
I've searched up how to update it to "MADLDR v1.13" and update the radio and/or use the "RUU-LEO" file.
I have all those files&programs downloaded and ready to go.
Thank you for reading my thread​
It would be AWESOME if someone could help me, or even inform me of what has happened with it. If you need further answers about my two HD2's please ask me the questions, I would love to try and answer them!

Those repetitive vibrations on starting are not a good sign(usually it means a non/working CPU/motherboard)!
You should flash a stock ROM and see what happens, but I suspect it won't boot up and you'll get again those vibrations: it worth try it and let me know!
Good luck!
Are you able to get to the tricolored screen by holding the power button and the volume down button? If you can get there, you may be able to task29 it and flash it with a new radio. My guess is someone flashed it with the wrong radio. Once it has the correct radio, if there is no hardware damage, it should work again.
I broke my digitizer . I'll be interested in buying the completely dysfunctional one from ya . Send me a pm if you're interested .

Yes, after I posted this thread, I was able to get into the tricolored screen. After that I tried to update the MAGLDR to V1.13, the screen got into the HTC loading screen with a progress bar stuck at 0% then on the computer it says there has been a communication error.
So my problem now is communication from my HD2 to PC, Which is weird because on the tricolored screen, the text switched to USB and I thought I figured it out, but no...communication error.
I am willing to do Task29 but I'm not aware of the risks or precedures.
Ok first off go to here and download the HD2 NAND Toolkit then install it o. Your computer. Next open the toolkit and then connect your HD2 to your computer via USB. Then use the toolkit to run the Task 29. Be warned though the Task 29 will totally delete the ROM partition of the NAND memory in your HD2 so you will not have a ROM on the device then so it will not boot to anything but the bootloader. Next use the Toolkit to flash either a Window's Mobile ROM, MAGLDR, or clk, you can also use it to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Ok, I have gotten the Tool kit but I wasn't able to perform task29.
I got a communication error again, I have tried to do task29 twice.
Here are some screenshots...

So my problem is still with the communication errors I keep getting if I try to do anything.
Is there anything I can do with the Micro SD card?

You can run a Task 29 via SD card. You need to go to here and download the Repack by ShaDrac. Then right click the file and unzip it. Then find the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader and follow the on screen instructions.

The only thing I need to put on the SC card is the LEOIMG.nbh right

Yeah that is it, just copy the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Then copy it to the root of your SD card.
Edit: Once the Task 29 is done your HD2 will only boot to the first splash screen and you will be able to boot into the bootloader also. This is because the Task 29 removed the ROM from your HD2 and you will have to re-flash clk or MAGLDR then a recovery and then a Android ROM. Or you can always flash as Windows Mobile ROM.

Alright, I got into boot loader mode, then it goes onto a completely white screen with "Loading..." on the top.
After 5 minutes or so, the screen turns off with no instructions to follow after "Loading...".
I pressed the power button to see if it still works and goes into the old MAGLDR v1.11 screen with no menus/options.
Am I suppose to keep holding the Vol down button or something, I think im doing it wrong
Edit: I charged the phone before trying it again for a few hours and I think it was on the white "Loading..." screen for the whole charge.
I don't know whats wrong with it :d

First off sorry for the lag in response but I went to sleep not long after I posted my last response last night. If you never saw a box appear on the HD2 screen that asks you if you wanted to install the update and to press the power button to do so, then you did not run the Task 29. I am pretty sure you didn't anyway because you said you could still boot into MAGLDR 1.11 and if you had run the Task 29 then MAGLDR would no longer be on your HD2.
When you boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down and powering on the HD2 continue to hold the volume button down until you see searching. When you see searching you can release the volume down button and then you should see the window pop up that ask if you want to install the update and if so to press the power button to continue. Press the power button and the Task 29 will run, you should see a progress bar on the screen of the HD2.
Once the progress bar is done the HD2 should restart, but it will not have a ROM to boot so just pull the battery to turn it back off. Next, if you want to use Android, you need to install MAGLDR 1.13 or clk. You can install either one of these via SD card, just like the Task 29 you will have to copy the .nbh file for the custom bootloader you want to use to the root of your SD card and rename it LEOIMG.nbh. Make sure to remove the LEOIMG.nbh file that you used for the Task 29. Personally I prefer clk cause it makes the HD2 run like a native Android device, but you are having a communication error so this may lead to problems if you use clk as you have to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery via USB when you use clk. You know I would suggest you try a different USB cable as you might just have as faulty USB cable and that is what is causing the communication error. I would highly suggest you do this before trying to do anything at all more with the SD card. If you try another cable and it does not work then your HD2 more than likely has a faulty mini USB port.
If you try another cable and it works you can just use the toolkit to run the Task 29 and then use it to install either MAGLDR 1.13 or clk and then Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Whoa, after I read your post, I went and found another cable, attached it to the PC and turned on my HD2, it goes to the MAGLDR v1.11, but it has the options where I can use the volume buttons to choose things which I have never seen on this phone before lol.
What do you suggest I do since the options came up.
Wipe it and do MAGLDR v1.13
Or do one of the options on the screen
Okay well I've tried to task29 w/ the new cable, and it still does a communication error so there might be a problem with the mini USB port.
I tried to do task29 again via sd card, and this time I held down the volume down button for like 5 minutes until my fingers slipped, but there was no "searching" screen, just a "Loading..." screen and then it turns off after 10 mins.
I'm trying to get into that MAGLDR screen again with the options but I don't know how to, it was just too random.
I kind of wonder if a wrong radio was flashed to the phone and it got semi-bricked. I bought a phone once that was like that and tried to repair it and was unable to. I think there are people out there that can jtag it.
Maybe dude, right now im just waiting until someone knows exactly whats wrong with my phone and if they can fix it :d
i did do something to the radio, but i made sure it was the correct version according to their list of radios and the radio listed on my phone.
Anyway, im pretty much stuck. cant wipe via USB cable, of 3 different kinds.
and i cant wipe via sd card either.
will go back a few years and try and find old posts on old Kaiser thread,this starts to sound familiar with white screen and comms fail,if I remember properly it was/is problem with spl/hspl.
can you post what info does show on any boot screen.
am busy at moment will try searching later tonight.

One time I was able to flash something onto the phone and it was the "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" thing...
I don't remember why I did this but I did made sure it was compatible and it worked.
So it may have been the radio, I am not sure.
I do have pics of the boot loader screen before and after the flash.
If there are no solutions, I might as well sell them both. Which I'm about to do real soon
