Then once you do above and get the screen working again, you can do what i did and use attached program to remap one of the other buttons (i chose green phone button since i press the phone icon to use the phone anyhow) and remap it to function as the power button and never worry about the screen again
To install: download to computer, then use adb install to install.
Or the simple way, just download straight to phone, navigate to the downloaded folder using a file explorer(astro works well found on the market) and launch it through the file explorer to install.

..lol....

Yep, I have tried that.... pushing the end button a zillion times. It use to work before, but now it doesnt. I tried the end button, the call button, sliding over the other keys, just tapping on the unlock keys on the screen... but nothing. i do it so much, i pretty much start banging on the keys.....ummm... not sure if that made it worse??
is there anyway i can just reset my phone.... perhaps flash a new rom. I really dont care what is on my phone at this point. phone numbers not saved on sim can be replaced.... i dont care about anything else as far as apps. i just want to be able to use this phone again, whatever it takes. not sure if this is even possible without unlocking the screen first. i am so frustrated i wanna let my rottweiler accidently chew it up, just so i can get a new phone...
i know there is some smarty pants out there that can figure this out... help me pleeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

Nope. Its pretty much hosed. These are classic symptoms of the digitizer cable losing connection with the main board. Pressing the red End key forcefully can sometimes mate the connection back, but otherwise if that doesn't work nothing will. If you're feeling brave, you can take apart the phone piece by piece and reassemble it. That might do the trick. Else, you have to replace the digitizer.

Ok... first of all, what is a digitizer?
Also, is there any way I can connect it to my computer via usb and try to remove the files that i put on there for the rom.... that would just make it a windows phone again. Because Im confused.... is this a phone malfunction or a file issue?

Can you get to the bootloader (stripey screen)? If so, then just flash a stock WinMo ROM from there and it should work.

Well I am able to restart the phone after I take the battery out. So there is a point at the startup while its loading, it says 1-2-3-4 Go Go Go. Not sure if there is anything I can from there.
Oh btw... for a brief few minutes yesterday, the phone did unlock. I got so excited that I started reading all my text messages I missed over the passed 2 weeks and also reviewing missed phone calls. And by that time, the phone locked again. No luck since.

Take the battery out, put it back in then hold down the power (end call) and volume down buttons. From here, you can flash a stock ROM via the USB port or flash a stock ROM via your SD card

If you remap the call button to the power button, as lung as you don't hit the end key anymore your screen should stay working. It has for me

You can eitherdownload to computer, the use adb install to install the program, or download to your phone and use a file browser to navigate to your downloads and install from there. Downloading to your phone is probably the easiest for beginners.

Help, my HD2 won't start after installing and removing banana game.

Hi, could you please help. I installed the banana game then realised that the game wasn't compatible with HD2 as the game was showin g only on 3/4 of the screen and thye sense was unstable. I removed the app and the device switched offf. Sinced the I haven't been able to turn it on all i get is the initial black screen wity the pink ring. It won't resen using up down method and task 29 wont work as it is unable to connect. can anyone help....
what "up down method" its not up then down lol if you want to hard reset turn youre phone off press and hold up and down volume buttons and turn the phone on you should get a grey screen then follow instructions, and task 29 will work if you can get in bootloader but why would you want to wipe the mobile if you dont no what you doing?
and the banana game doesnt really give us much insight does it lol

Hi Demon,
I am glad you find this funny but here I am in tears re: the situation. I meant vol up and down for hard reset but its not working bfore turn on. I chose the task 29 as I am desperate and willing to reset to default setting. I did try vol up and down before turning on my mobile and still not working. See below url for the game downloaded but I didn't downloaded from this site I used the omarket. thanks

I wasnt laughing mate, so can you get in bootloader?? (press and hold volume down while turning the phone on keep holding till you get a coloured screen)is you battery charged?

No I can't all i am getting is the RGD screen...
Thanks
what do you mean RGD screen, can you post a pic if you have a camera
try taking the battery cover off, and then press the vol up and vol down together, carefully. Make sure you feel the contact as you press it. I struggled at the beginning to make it wiork. the button isn't really meant to bend at both ends, so it feels like you have them both pressed, but dont.
Once you are confident that both ends are pressed, only then tap and release power to start the phone.
ALl being well, 5 or so seconds later the three coloured screen should come up.
Fingers x'd

I tried again and you are right just a tap on the power as before i think i was pressing too hard on the power button ....now I have a gray screen with the following:
This operation will delete all your personal data ......
What should I do now to avoid losing all data...
Thanks
ok, now dont take this the wrong way mate because everyone has done this, but you must be doing it wrong or not catching the buttons right, if you have someone with you, you're easiest option would be turn your phone on as normal take your battery cover off, press and hold both volume buttons and keep holding them, get someone to press the red button near the batter with a pin, that way you have hold of both volume buttons, keep holding them while the phone is restarting and you should get a different screen come up,
like i said its quite tricky to get it the first time.
you cant not loose anything this is youre only option im affriad, but youre phone will work again

hehe, its a bit of a three handed job. I usualy use a thumb on each vol button, and my top lip to press power, lol.
I think sadly your data is gone. I can't think of a way to save it if the phone wont boot.
Plus, if this banana thing did mess your phone up, you want to be sure its gone.
(A good lesson in syncing your data regularly )
If the hard reset doesn't work, then my next steps would be to task29 from bootloader (volume down and power, dont touch vol up) followed by flashing your stock rom over usb.

hi just wondering can you conect the phone via usb to pc does the pc read you r phone ?

My phone is locked with my personal number...How can i unlock it...

I am using a t-mobile unlocked phone...I am using Energy ROM...
I have set a password to open up my today screen..simple 4 letter password.
But when I enter it in the locked screen it is not responding...
I am not able to do anything now...I can receive calls..but I cant make calls or read sms...It is locked
I am sure I have used the exact lock code.
I was trying to do something through my PC...But that is also not responding as it is locked...
I cannot even flash ROM now
I removed battery
Can anyone help...
Is there any simple way to
hard reset your phone. to do that pull the battery, put it back on, and power on your device while holding BOTH THE VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP KEYS. follow the on screen instructions from there and you should be all good!

Do not use a password through the phones stock security. It WILL happen again to you. Its a well known problem, HTC knows as well as T-MO. They havent put out any fixes though. Just beware...
Also out of curiousity... did your password by chance start with "9"? Ive heard a rumor about that being the cause, and Im curious because my phone did this as well and my password began with 9.

HD2 Serious freeze HELP!

I think here might be something wrong with the htc sense, but the thing is, that my hd2 touchscreen wont respond to my touch. When i'm at the unlock screen, i cant slide it to open up. This wont change after reboot either.
So eventually i set a hard-reset on the phone, but it didn't work after that either. I tried three times, no respond. Without the sim and with it in.
I cant recive calls or text messages, because i cant tap my PIN in, neither i could open or answer. I'm f***ed.
Okay, the next day i do my fourth hard-reset, and it starts working again, but after a time of use, it will start getting slow with the touch again, and then it will stop responding again. So I don't now what to do. There is now warranty time left, so i want to see what i can do my self before taking it to a repairing place and pay 100 € for it.
This is my everyday phone, and i would like to get it back to normal state as soon as possible, so many many many thanks to all who try to help me out of this
Cheers,
Nother

Have you flashed HSPL on it or this is all stock ROM?
honestly it looks like a hardware issue to me.
well i looked at the stats, and seems like i have HSPL on it, but it's not bought from a reseller, it was bought second-hand. it has worked perfectly until a few days ago, then the freezing started.

ok if it has HSPL on there that means someone flashed something on there.
I would flash task29, then flash the ROM of your choice and see if it still does it.
If the ROM is the problem a hard-reset won't fix it, so let's try this and see what happens.
Okay thanks for the help
the only problem is that i'm running on a mac, and i cant find any software to flash the hd2 on a mac..? Do you now any?
and could you link me a thread or a tutorial to how to flash 'cause i'm quite new with this anyway.
Thanks!

There is no way to do this on a mac, find a PC.
ok, here's the quick version.
1) download the attached file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
2) turn your phone off, then turn it back on while holding the vol-down arrow, this will bring you to a tri color screen. Make sure you are plugged in via USB.
(you could do this via activesync, but I want to avoid the freeze so this gets you right into bootloader)
3) unzip the file and run it, follow the on-screen instructions, it will flash task 29, which is basically a good reformat.
4) if you are fast, hold the vol down arrow when it reaches 100% and don't let go till you're back at the tri-color screen. If it goes to the splash screen it will stay there forever (because there is nothing flashed on your phone now). You have to do a battery pull or press the reset button. In this case hold the vol-down arrow again and power on the device to get you into the tri-color screen again.
5) Download the ROM of your choice from this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
They are all custom ROMs, my favorite is the this one currently:
http://hotfile.com/dl/117879873/9b01b43/Energy.Leo.29020.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity.May.14.7z.html
It was taken from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and is the awesome one with big finger friendly buttons as well as that awesome blackish theme (Sencity)
If you don't want a custom ROM then go to the HTC support site and find your stock ROM, download and flash that via SD card (I am assuming you have an international HD2 and not a TMOUS one).
If for some reason you have a TMOUS one DO NOT GO THRU HTC BUT USE TMOBILE'S SUPPORT SITE.
Let's get you rocking and rolling!
Thank you very much for your help, i'm very grateful
I'm going to run W7 virtually, just to be quick.
And I was thinking to flash straight to Android, is that possible? Like android 2.3 or something.
Cheers!
sorry if I made you unhappy, but my phone is now in a technic service due to same problem, it never fixed with a rom update, day by day your problem will appear more frequently, this is a hardware issue, maybe digitizer maybe hardware buttons block your touch screen.. I will see what will happen after my phone come to my hands again..
Okay thanks.
I will see what the reflashing will do. Then if it doesn't work, i will take it to repairing.
Thanks!

Is my touchscreen dieing?

I was running an older Paramid version of dunphp's ROM, and right before swtching the ROM my touch screen start to not function. I could not pull the ring up to unlock the screen. I rebooted multiple times. Cleared Dalvik and fixed permissions. It finally worked after attemptiing to unlock it for what seem like abother 500 times.
I was going to change over to his latest Deisre HD ROM anyway. So I did a Task 29, and cleaned and reinstalled everything from scratch. It worked perfectly for about 5 days. Now I am getting the same issue with my touch screen. It just seems to go out. Is this typically what happens when it's about to die?
Never mind. I Task29, and flashed a Windows Mobile ROM just to see, and yeah...it's dead...

You have semi-dead digitizer. But it is nothing you can't temporarily fix every time it happens. Just push red (end call) button really hard for a while and it will get fixed for a while. I recommend you using button savior and lock screen with it and unlock with any other button than red one, it should be permanently fixed then. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

I hit the thanks button as you gave me hope. I am currently using my old TouchPro 2 with an old NRG Titanium Rom on it for the time being, but will try this today. I’ll install “button savior”, but what am I supposed to do with the app? What settings do I run? I think you are totally right about this, as I noticed when I was unlocking my phone, using the green call button worked most often, but now that’s not even working.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem as you have. My phone was working flawlessly for like a year and a half, but last week all of a sudden the touchscreen sometimes didn't work and sometimes it did. So I tried literally everything, I was fixing my permisions all the time, wiping dalvik, task29, remaking parrtitions, even bought a new sd card. But few days ago I found a solution, by pushing red button really hard (because the digitizer is right behind it) and not using it after. The Button Savior app is a simple app that makes a very little transparent icon on your screen and when you tap it, the menu of buttons will come up (with the same buttons as your hard buttons on your device) so every time you will want to lock the device you will do it on your screen, and won't have to push the hard button and come through all the hassle of pushing the digitizer. I really hope I helped you, as this very same problem was driving my crazy for the past few days.

How long do you hold the red button? Also, I am pushing down really hard. I didn't know you could get the digitizer replaced...I wonder who would do that (no way would I send it to HTC and wait a month), and how much that costs...?
HTC sends phones back crazy quick. Atleast that's how it was for me. They actually sent it back the day they got it from what I remember. It did take a while though for the phone to arrive to HTC (this depend who and from where you send it though) If your phone still has warranty I seriously recommended you send it yo HTC. Just remember to flash it 100% stock before sending it.

Well believe it or not, after pressing the Red phone off button for an eternity and applying a ton of pressure, it's working. I am sure it won't be for long. I have a shortcut to lock the phone on the screen. So basically your saying I should stay away from hitting the Red phone off button, or else that will kill it again? What about the other hard buttons?
I am in the UAE at present, so it might be better for me to just order a digitizer and do the repair myself. I see there are a lot of YouTube videos on the subject.

HI I am new to android and HTC and last night i have put Android NAND using MGLDR. was working fine but for some reason when i want to lock the screen and i press the power button it shows more option menu instead to lock the screen. Before when i press once the pwer button it locks but if i hold the button it shows more options menu. Now i have to press twice the button to lock screen and when i wqant to unlock it will do the same it will show up the menu. I tryed to reinstal it again from my SD card using ClockWOrk, MGLDR, puting him back to factory setting but still soemtimes it does that. Now waht i want to do is to do task29 and to again everything. I have found on this site an exe by doloop for task29 but i get error cant connect to phone check USB connection. Run as admin on my win7 64bit and disabled driver signature but stillsame error. How to fix the unction of this button?
Android isntaled:
TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR.zip
I'm pretty sure that's an issue with your END button, rather than with Android.
Has your screen been unresponsive sometimes?

Are you sure? I'm 99% sure it isn't anything to do with the ROM, it sounds like your end key is getting stuck when you press it. I used TyphooN for ages (in fact, if I'm not mistaken up to that very version) and it never failed me, so I don't see how it wouldn't work for you. Try flashing back to WinMo and seeing if the same applies there.
I believe you're having the famous issue of HD2 with the 'end' button. Try another rom first to be sure, if that's the case, start using "Button Savior" or similar app...

Ok i somehgow menaged to wipe out Android (I know that i menaged to wipe it out becouse when it had to boot up MAGLOADER it could said that there is no NAND android something like that) and put it back after reinstal of Android first I checked the button and It had same problems...but sudenly whil etoday I was cinema I tried to lock the screen by pressing the ower button again and it worked just fine...and it work now while I am writing...so ROM is not(99%) it could be that phone is thinking that i am holding the button down...(bad connection or something) so when that happens I need to press twice fast button to lock the screen....so about this theory about hardver problem with button what you got say? Is it dificult to open it at home and see if is there something in it?Is there some maybe guide how to open it or maybe i take to some servis shop and hope for the best?
