[Q] bricked tmous hd2 from freezing android?

hi all, long time viewer first time poster, i have been reading many post on the net trying to find a definite answer on my tmous hd2 but with no luck. My problem started when i was running android (sandisk mirco sd, yes i know the incompatibility issues, it came with the phone). I was playing music through headphones while charging and suddenly the phone froze with a buzzing sound until i battery flipped, first thing it did when i started it back up again is vibrate approximately 5 times at boot flash screen (indicating excessive heat?), so i battery flipped again and waited 10 mins then i tried to start again and it just froze at boot screen, it would keep doing this and every now and then it will boot to wm, but sooner or later it will freeze in wm and then have booting problems, its still doing this today after doing all the following: 1.flash another custom rom. 2.flashed another radio. 3.task 29. 4. flashed stock rom & radio. 5. flashed nandroid 6.tried different capacity and brand sd cards & none at all.
I now have a hd7 because I couldnt fix it and didnt want to shed the cash they are still asking for a hd2, but i do want to fix the phone to play around more with it, i did look at the possible solution unbrick with jtag thread but im thinking the phone is perma bricked, when it was working it has had alot of custom rom flashes so i dont know if that makes much a difference but i would greatly appreciate some advice, THANKYOU XDA FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Please mention your RADIO, HSPL and the last Android Rom in which this happened!

If your phone is booting, it's not bricked. Did you try another SD card? Have you tried doing a low level format on your SD card? If it were me I'd Format the SD card with an adapter on my PC, low level. Then I would put it back in the phone then run Task29. Then flash MAGLDR 1.1. Then Flash the CMY 1.4n Desire HD Nand build in the HD2 Nand Android Development forum. It's the most stable Nand build up there right now.
I would use the 2.15 radio that comes with the newest Tmobile ROM. You might have to download the 3.14 ROM from Tmobile and flash it first to get the Radio in there. Then Task29 after that. MAGLDR, Then the NAND build. Make sure you find the Task29.exe that doesn't have a radio paired with it. it's on this site somewhere.

hd2 running MIUI freezing up too
I'm a complete noob here so bare with me. I'm currently experiencing the same probs as lewy255 with the hd2 freezing up. It happens every now and then when I'm accessing certain apps. When the hd2 does freeze up, i have to take the battery out, wait, then boot up again. Once it tries to boot up it freezes on magldr, then i got to take out the battery again, wait, then power it on again. It seemed to happen when i first rooted my hd2. The first ROM i flashed after rooting was typhoon CM7. Currently have:
HSPL 2.08
radio 2.15.50.14
MIUI version: 1.5.27
I hope this isnt a hardware issue cause i bought this phone from one of my friends and he didn't have the receipt. Please advise on what i can do to fix this freezing issue.
Thanks

Sounds like cpu overheat freeze. When you were playing music and charging it the first time it froze, was the phone and/or battery hot?
It's very possible that it got too hot once, and now the cpu its self gets too hot much easier now that it has already happened once.

Cpu overheat freeze? So its a hardware issue? What if I ran task29, and reinstalled magldr, clockworkMod, and then MIUI, do u think that would fix the freezing issue?

No I do not think that will help your situation. I think your HD2 is starting to show signs of hardware break down. More specifically a breakdown in the connection of the processor and the main board. The only permanent if this is the case is to replace the main board.

t-mac
I tried installing setCPU and adjusted the temperature setting so if got too hot then the speed of the phone would be reduced, but still no luck.
What if i unrooted the phone and put everything back to stock? I think that way i will know for sure that its a hardware issue. I dont know much about phones but your probably right. I'll try running task29 and reinstall everything and see if that works, if not then i will un-root and put everything back to stock and test.

Is it an undervolted kernel? Might cause problems, but I'm with mac here on it being a hardware problem, since you flashed back to winmo stock and you still had problems.

i have same problem with miui roms. I think this problem is about Miui Roms. Miui developers must solve this issue, there is no way..
When i try other Roms, there is no problem like this issue..

in my opinion and its just my opinion, but you should flash a winmo 6.5 build than boot android from sd its safer because theres no need to worry about battery dying in magldr. and if theres a nand rom you want to try out i suggest using port a droid. im using now with the new nexus 2.8 with a 1gb data.img and it runs great plus i have 3 other builds on there also.

Girlfriends kills android roms everytime!

Dear xda users,
My Girlfriend got a HD2 and I installed Android on it.
She used SD versions but she kills them everytime.
After a month the phone got stock on boot screen.
Then i tried to install NAND Roms but after 2 months of smooth running the same problem again... (example: Coredroid, and sense roms)
I think that the problem is that when the phone freeze she pull the battery out and after a few times the phone won't boot anymore.
Followed all the noob friendly guides.
Followed all the instructions in the post of every rom.
Installed the recommed radio, MAGDLR, CMW, data partions that were in the instructions
Common problem on sense roms?
Should i try to install no sense rom?
(Got experience with Desire HD flashing and Touch pro 2)

Hi,
It could be that with all the battery pulling, that the pins could be bent.
Make sure they are all straight.

Buy her an iphone, then she can't pull the battery! :-D

I don't think it's hardware related.. Because i can boot in the MAGLDR without any problems.. But when i wan't to boot android it hangs on the coredroid boot logo
(This happends with all roms (sense) i tried so far)

Boot into magldr and re run the rom from there,cleare the caches firsr ot course
Then glue the battery in - buy a tazer and promise her a double dose if she pulls the battery again

lol, hahaha

ive seen a few posts where people have struggled with getting past boot logo, think it was fine after using a different partition in recovery but as your device is for the sd build am not quite sure how that works as Ive never had sd android or if having sd requires clockwork mod recovery? if so try different partition as i said earlier if not hang on till someone has the answer

haha great answer, my girlfriend doesn't touch my hd2 or she gets alot more than a double dose with the tazer method, HD2 is not the solution for a women... you take the hd2 of her and buy her a iphone surly they are women material.

Ignore Post

Problems almost always occur after a few weeks or months of use for me, just reflash the ROM, and you'll good to go.
removing the battery is not recommended, it can corrupt files on the sd-card. Try to boot without sd-card and see if it helps. If your ROM does boot, it means the SD card is corrupted, you can try to backup the SD card and restore it after completely wiping the sd-card.
If your rom doesn't boot, than it meant there's something else going on, maybe corrupted flash, so reflash and try again. This will delete all your data, so be careful

if your girlfriend is not an daily flasher also might i suggest using a daf build. All the configuration is done for you. if you are using a sd build from magldr than make sure you change the name of the build than edit the startup txt like this "rel_path=whatever you name the build(example: "rel_path=MIUIROM nand_boot=1") the 1 for magldr 0 for windows 6.5. the reason for me saying this is all android builds create a folder android when they boot up with all your info like data and cache is in there. So its best to separate the two just in case you want to boot up more than two builds from sd.

Same here.
could be a bad block in your NAND memory. you can check this with cLK and fastboot.
see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13600733&postcount=9
i checked mine and there was a bad block in the userdata. i think that is wy my phone was freezing.
now i have flashed cLK and untill now its working great!

pls help me im new here!? and it can be a challange i think!

You have been using a specific partition size for that particular ROM
Sense 3 roms require larger partition sizes than most of the ROMs
So I assume you have a wrong partition size (which will cause "stuck at boot logo")
Check the OP of the ROM you are to install, look for the recommended system and cache sizes and flash them.

Firstly use common sense and title your topics correctly with a descriptive title, not a n00b panic attack.
Which rom?
Have you partitioned your nand properly for the specific rom needs?
Did you wait long enough (sometimes 20 mins) for files to be extracted/setup?
Did you READ instructions properly?

[Q] Any way to resize the system part, without a computer?

Hi,
I'm in the middle of the jungle literally and i only have my phone with me... I'm trying to install the evohd2 ics rom but my sys part is only 160mb...is their any way I can resize it without a computer....?
Thx

If you have cLK boot loader, you can.
Just wipe all via recovery.
Then boot to cLK by long pressing back button and power. You will find the option there.
BTW, this should have been posted in the General or Q&A section, not development.
Mods please relocate this thread.

Yes, why do you prefer MAGLDR if you run android?

It's not that I prefer it its just that's what's on the phone.... Don't I need a computer to change to clk? Or am I totally off track?
My situation is this I have my tmob HTC hd2 with magldr, i'm in the middle of nowhere with just my phone I'm not programming noob but, I haven't been flashing my hd2 more than once... Actually twice i tried a pacman 4.1.2 rom as it only needed 145mb sys part, I'm actually running it now.... But it's lagging quite a bit no disrespect intended.... Probably my installation at fault... So I read that the evohd2 4.0.4 rom was supposed to be quite fast... But it needs at least 200mb syspart...
So if you say I can use clk to repartition, how can I get it on my phone without a computer just give me a link if you know where I should start looking.... I've Google and searched.... But all leads to the hd2 toolkit which I sadly can't use

there u r mate
the attached file is clk with touch recovery included.
rename the file with leoimg.nbh then put it on root of yr sd card and flash it
you dont need a pc to make repartition yr nand u can use it with inbuilt repartition option with this great tool
credit goes to the kokotas and their team.

You mean flash it like flashing a new power up splash screen? Volume down plus power button?

I did flash it and it took a few reboots because it got stuck on the recovery team splash screen...but finally it booted the touch recovery: ) i repartotioned the sys part and reflashed the pacman jelly bean rom just to try amd run it clean...and its not bad: )ill try it for a day now and see
Thx a bunch

sSo thought I'd just update...
I managed to wipe and clean all partitions and install the NexusHD2 ics rom and it's running like the wind only problem is that takes up to ten times to reboot to get it to load the touch recovery... So I got a little scared I'd bricked it.
. But it's ok now thanks a bunch

great u managed it in the middle of jungle right
actually clk is great tool. the only prob with clk is it doesnt support rmnet network it supports only ppp
hope soon devs gonna fix this
sorry i was away so late response
oh yes forgot to tell u clk recovery takes a while but let it be on very first boot its ok approx 10 mins(yeah i kno its too much)

[Q] Is My Phone Dead?

So my phone stopped working out of the blue, I was using tytung android jellybean rom and magldr.
When I turn the phone on magldr loads normally but it stops at the cyanogen logo.
I flashed a different rom but the same thing happens, magldr works normally but it stops at the rom logo.
I flashed it again with tytung's rom as Native SD and magldr says SD Kernel failed.
I don't get any errors when flashing a new rom and I did a surface scan of my sd card and there was no bad sectors so I don't know what could be wrong with it.
Can anyone help me?

Try increasing your system partition size by 10 or 20 mb, you may have developed badblocks.
That's if you are using nand or dataonext installation!

Better stop asking question here instead rush to your nearest cellphone repair center. They can resolve your problem at earliest.

Dont forget to clean dalvik,cache n data every u flash another rom.. That make clean install on ur new rom.. That what I do..

Do a hard reset. It worked for me when my ROM wasn't working properly.

Sorry for your phones, maybe you need the repair center
