Hi
Ok so my phone was working fine on a custom ROM when suddenly yesterday an exclamation appeared next to the phone signal and stopped from receiving/making calls and texts. I thought it had just crashed but after soft and hard resets and changing to a few others sims I just can't get my phone signal back.
Really strange as everything was working fine. I now have trouble flashing custom ROMs and am struggling to run a stock ROM because I'm on a mac.
It's driving me crazy as my phone is now useless.
Any ideas guys?
thanks
Quick update
I've managed to get the Leo Lite ROM running and everything is good except that damn exclamation mark next to the phone to phone, which means I can't get the phone working.
Anyone know know why this is???
Have you tried the sim in a different phone?
could just be a simple issue
And I know it a simple thing............but have you got flight mode on?

Thanks for the reply John.
Yeah currently having to use the sim in an ancient motorola and it works fine, tested with calls and texts. Also tried turning on and off flight mode but still that bloody exclamation mark stays.
That sounds like its been blocked. Theres a network there it just isn't letting it connect. Did you buy it second hand? or off ebay?

Hey Sam
Do you know what, I did buy it second hand, from a reputable store in town.
However this raises more questions than answers;
1. Why would it be blocked after several weeks of normal use.
2. Doesn't some sort of message need to be displayed stating the handset has been blocked.
Does anyone know if this is what happens when a HTC HD2 is blocked? i.e. the exclamation being shown all the time.
I presume a handset is blocked for security measures like theft. I will take it back to the shop tomorrow, they will have all the details of the person who sold it to them.
However is there no way this can happen from flashing custom ROMs? Even though that doesn't really make sense cause I had a ROM that was working fine and this happened when I was out and about.
It could be a bad rom, but it certainly wouldn't be in every rom.
I think id try going back to the stock rom, radio and spl (i.e an sd card flash, do you now if it has a provider locked rom?) and see if it is still there. If it still won't work, then it's definately either hardware or network.
The reason it could have taken weeks is, , seller trades in phone for cash, waits a little while, thinks 'i know'..., reports the phone lost/stolen to claim on insurance, insurance won't pay out without the imei being blocked.

Well I've tried flashing at least 6 custom ROMs, all show the exclamation mark.
The phone was sold to me as being unlocked to all networks, however I never tried with anything other than a o2 sim.
Now going back to the original ROM has its own problems. First off i'm quite new at this so sorry for sounding silly. How on earth do i go about finding out what the original stock rom, radio and spl is?
When I have these I can't easily go back as I don't have a pc, using a mac. I would have to use the sd card way but I can't find an official signed .nbh file.
I have a brand new T-Mo US HD2 with similar issue (out of the box). It's like the radio will not initialize. Did hard resets, tried to force it finding a carrier, etc, and it just will not turn on the radio.
I did find out that there is a likely issue with my SIM slot. If I attempt to remove my SIM card (which works fine in other phones) it is almost unremoveable and feels jammed in. However, once removed, I get connectivity via wifi and touch response is great.
If I insert a SIM card, it takes a LOT of pressure to reinsert it (yes, inserting it in the correct orientation), and the phone cannot connect turn on the phone's radio. Also, I get random phone.exe and credential.exe error message (plus the phone becomes very slow.
Don't know if you have any of these other symptoms, but the lack of connectivity sounds similar.
Supposed to get a replacement HD2 today, and we'll see.
I had the same problem too. I got unlocked code from tmoile and everything working fine for a month. It was working great after upgrade the latest rom 3.14 from tmobile download site (i got the message from them to upgrade), until i went out off country last month then the phone could not turn the phone's radio on. It kept at airplane mode. I been try to flash back and forth all the tmobile .50 stock rom and still having the problem.
Does any one know the issue to fix it? TIA
Looks like a hardware fault. You need to open case and check bottom two brass hinges are in working order and correctly hinged to make contact with antenna which is on the rear case at the bottom.
Follow the guide of opening s HD2 on YouTube there is a factory guide to dismantling the HD2.

Thanks for reply xlr8me. I just check the two brass hinges at the right side of usb connector. It looks fine to me. The other thing i didn't mention on the above post I was flash the dft_leo_nand android after tried all the stock rom from tmobile and the android said "no sim card", i also checked and cleaned the sim slot. Do you think any thing else to cause that problem?
One more thing without the sim or sd card the about phone show up all info of phone: imei, serial..... But with sim card in it just blank when i read the about phone hardware info. Thanks again
Did you try simcard from another carrier?

Yes I did tried the sim from the carrier of the asia country i was traveling to last month, that why i call tmobile to get the unlock code before i go. When i was there and inserted their carrier's sim and it won't work, even when i get back to U.S. I been tried either tmobile or at&t sim too. The phone radio won't turn on. The rest is working ok except those above error messages "A problem has occurred with device.exe" and "Credential.exe".
Do you think i can reflash with WWE rom .50 radio instead of tmobile's official rom?
Thanks
htcphonelover,
You will have to reset the phone back to default rom from htc website. You may also need to reformat sd card but the radio should still work regardless of whether the sd card is in or out.
My only concluding thoughts are that if the above fails to work then try a different sim card and still no good then probably something with the motherboard on HD2.
Good luck and update us with any new info..
So I've had my T-mobile HD2 for about 2 months now and for the past month or so it's been showing some very weird problems.
The thing is, it sometimes gets stuck (android and stock wm6.5) and the only way to get it working is to remove the battery for about 5 minutes after which it'll just boot and maybe get stuck at GO GO GO (magldr) or if I am lucky it'll load right into Android and then get stuck on the lockscreen.
The problem does seem to be less intensive on wm6.5 (not certain though). I didn't have much usage on WP7 as I don't have a compatible sd card (16gb sandisk)
When it's 'stuck' it sometimes begins to warm up as well. There have been a couple times where it just rebooted and then vibrated 3-5 times.
To my record I have never dropped the phone and there is no water damage either.
I suspect the SIM, as it does seem to exacerbate when the sim is inside, or maybe the NAND storage is corrupt.. can that happen if i used task29 too many times?
Radio: 2.15.50.14 (2.12 seems to be slightly more stable)
HSPL 2.08
MAGLDR 1.13
Tried many different Android builds (non-sense are slightly more stable) NAND and SD builds.. although SD cards don't have these problems as much
Please help.
sending it back for warranty isn't an option as I am not in the US at the moment, so whatever fix there is I'll have to bear the cost.

Sorry to have to say, but it sounds like a heat issue, which means the motherboard is failing. Have you tried a hard reset?
What exactly do you mean by hard reset?
I've put it to stock, yes.
any idea where I can get a motherboard? shipped internationally? approximate cost?

Hard reset, turn phone off, hold volume buttons up and down and keep holding them and press power button and a screen will come up asking you if you wanna hard rest the device, just follow instructions, and motherboard, HTC as far as I no, and thats about it unless you buy another phone that is for spares and repairs mate,

You are having a thermal break down issue. Go to the li.k below and eaxthis thread it is very informative, the 3 vibrations are a warning from your HD2 that it is having a CPU issue, read the thread it will explain.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454
You can go to eBay and find main boards for the HD2 or you can buy one directly from HTC. I advice not o buy a HD2 that is broken and being sold for parts as you need the main board and usually the main board is shot in the phones being sold for parts and even one that has a faulty USB port is no good for you as the USB port is part of the main board, although if you are skilled you can fix it, like I said though you have to be skilled. Now if you can find one that just has a badly cracked Efren or faulty digitizer then you would be able to use the main board but anyway you go you are taking a chance to buy a broken HD2 for parts as you never know if the seller is owing about why the phone does not work. Not to mention you might get a HD2 that is bricked and you would have to use a JTAG on the main board to make it usable. I would buy a new replacement main board from eBay or straight from HTC.
About how long does it take to have heat issues? If you leave it on constantly, this will lead to a faster break down right?
also, do check the battery pins...they might be misaligned. misaligned battery pins are known to cause sporadic reboots and instabilities.

Hi,
when did you format your SD Card for the last time? The behaviour of your phone sounds IMO like a dysfuntioning SD Card, which might be logical after trying different Android build.
Take your SD card out of your device - insert in, via card holder, into PC - right click in after starting My Computer and choose format SD Card (slow method) - backup you card to PC before formatting. After PC format has ended (which make take a while depending on amount of Gb's, reinsert Card into device and use SD Card formatting tool for format it again and make it ready for device. Reinsert into PC and backup the old data again and reisnsert into device. After that SR device and see if the problem has disappeared.

I have run into a strange problem, the battery won't charge with the SIM card in but will if the SIM card it taken out.. I have tried task29 and re-flashed the MAGLDR and cmw but the battery problem still persists. Could it be a radio issue or is it something else?
That is indeed a strange issue. I would've never thought to take the sim card out to get it to charge.
You should flash a stock windows mobile rom and see if it charges then wuth the sim in it. If it does, it must be a software problem. If not, some piece of hardware in the phone is more than likely to be at fault.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I think I fixed the problem, my old radio was "2.15.50.14" and I flashed 2.09.50.29 and it fixed the problem.. Will report later to see if it actually fixed the problem.
Maybe you need a new one
maybe you dont
So my HD2 freezes constantly. I don't have the unlock freezing issue nor the black screen freezing issue. My phone will just freeze quite constantly. Doesn't matter if I'm just doing a message, online, or it's just sitting there doing nothing. It will freeze and will have to remove the battery and restart it. I've reinstalled MAGLDR, CWM, and tried several ROMS and it still doesn't make a difference. I remove the battery and have to let it cool for around an hour just to turn it on and be able to use it for a period of time.
Any suggestions out there? Could the battery be bad? The hardware? I constantly use Task Killer and Data Eraser to make sure there aren't unnecessary programs running. I've narrowed my app collection to just the necessary ones that I need. Still doesn't make a difference. Any programs out there that would help with this issue in any way. Would repartitioning my SD card help at all. I have pretty much everything on my SD card as well so the hardware shouldn't be overloaded at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
check here
LOADS of people are having this problem including myself.
As long as Mobile Data and Gps are OFF, I have no freezing issues.
BUT, if I turn on Mobile date or Gps, or both, then GAME OVER.....it freezes within seconds.
It's not your battery, or SD card and don't listen to the muppets who repeat themselves by saying "do a task29" coz it doesn't work.
I've tried 5 different SD card, got 2 hd2's, task29, over 100 roms, different radios etc etc.
Never used to happen on SD builds, only Nand.
if i had the cash, i'd smash my hd2 against the wall and get a Android native phone.
this aint ever gonna be solved.

Hi,
It might be worth trying to flash an original ROM and seeing if the same thing occurs in WinMo.
Have you properly formatted card? (overwrite with size adjustment)
Which rom are you using?
Does it do it on multiple roms?
Have you done a task29?
have you tried a different radio version?

I've tried all those things. I'm using the Nexus 2 Gingerbread ROM by tytung. I've tried winmo roms, android, etc. I've done task 29 several times. Different radios as well. It doesn't make a difference at all. I found a thread that might be the culmination of it all. If anyone else is having problems like I am, take a look at this thread. It's definitely the motherboard overheating and freezing/and or shutting itself off.

Luckily, I pay insurance through t-mobile so I will be picking up a new HD2 pretty soon.
I had a similar problem, but mine came about under different circumstances. I smashed my HD2 against a wall for whatever personal reasons that you shouldn't care about, anyway, so I ordered a replacement display. When I installed the display the phone would freeze just as described by OP. I found that disabling GPS and WiFi allowed me to use it for a longer time, but if I ever so much as applied any pressure to the display (rather than just lightly touching it) the screen would freeze and sometimes it would just straight shut off until it didn't turn back on at all (this was barely the first day after installation). I opened the phone and tested, found out that the LCD flex cable had a defect to it where if it was bent (the position it's supposed to be in once the phone is assembled) the display would "short out" and with the cable fully extended no problems would be present, even after applying pressure to the display or any of the other internal components.
I'm sending my LCD back for a replacement and hopefully the new one will work fine. I've read that some LCD's cause the HD2 to freeze and I think I was unlucky enough to receive one such. I need the phone to hold on long enough until I get my contract renewal May 2012. I'm surviving on my Dream right now and I'm going through Angry Birds withdrawal...

I have similar issue. Could use advice. Please.
My HD2 is about a year old. Decided to try android on the sd.
Device: HTC HD2 TMOUSA
Radio: 2.10.50.26 (Original) NOW flashed to 2.15.50.14
SPL: 2.10.xxxx (Original) NOW HSLP 2.08.0000
Android Rom: SD AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71
WM Rom: 2.13.531.1 (Original)
ACA seemed ok but would freeze randomly. So I flashed the radio to the 50.14. Seemed a little better but still a few freezes in android. Thought I would try the partition to improve the sd card performance. can't tell if it helped or not to many freeze ups to use android during the day. NOW my winmo side it giving me random reboots. It gets hot reboots, especially bad if using gps. I know overheating is part of the issue because during the middle of the day in my car without A/C it is terrible.
I also have an OTTERBOX Defend which has kept the phone looking great but is a really pain with on all the battery removal with the freeze ups.
I have read that this can be a mainboard issue, but how can I tell if it is or not?
Could the radio and winmo rom be incompatible?
Should I flash the winmo rom to a more compatible android rom?
Should I send it in since I have TMO insurance? (Anyone know if there is a deductible if you didn't lose the phone?)
I have also noticed the on the winmo side it reboots less if I turn htc sense off.
Not sure if I should go back to a different radio or send it in?
Are the insurance replacements refurbished or new? do they have the same issue?
Thanks for any expertise you care to share.
Had similar problems with Tmous HD2. Problems were really bad in Winmo; aca worked somewhat better. Read forums, tried standard "solutions". With time the problems got to the point where the HD2 would not boot unless it had been placed in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Did T-Mobile warranty exchange in April. Replacement was refurb (arrives without battery or sd card, used old one), but looked fine. Had a week to test "new" phone, before sending the old one back. Replacment phone works much better. In Winmo, gps, videos, sense no longer cause reboots; aca also works great.
Hope this helps...

Exactly as my post from a few days ago predicted..."task 29"
FFS.
Ive had 2 HD2's and its been the same problem for both.
No matter what rom i use on my hd2 it ALWAYS freezes(I was having the same issues with my first hd2 but eventually the screen on it stopped working and i sent it back for warranty and got a new one)
Ive flashed 2 other hd2's that belong to some friends and i did the exact same thing to their phones that i did to mine and they dont have any issue.
I dont know what to do and why am i the unlucky one
Please XDA Community i come to you for Guidance! I know this phone can be amazing but why is it being so stubborn!
Can it be SD related?
Does the area beneath the battery shell, behind the phone, feel particularly hot? If so, it's likely overheating (HTC calls it a current leakage... something?) and if you're under warranty you may wish to send it back.
Otherwise, there are fixes (suck as devising your own extra heatsink, reflowing the solder).... but it's non-trivial.
Does it freezes while using any particular applications, and what happens when it freezes???? I mean does it get to normal by itself or you have to pull the battery out and restart your HD2.
I am asking this because I was also having the same issue with my previous HD2, and then I came across this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544
which explains a lot about bad blocks which affect the android build.

yea sorry im just at the point where idk what else to do.
Lemme be more specific about this.
Theres times where it would actually boot up to where i can make a call but only for less than a couple minutes most of the time. There are times where i get lucky and it stays on for a good while ( couple hours ) and it'll stay that way as long as i dont use it. It freezes up starting up just about any app so i have this odd feeling it might be my sd card. But then i dont understand why the next thing happens. After i remove the battery and put it back in and boot either 1 of the 3 happens.
1) 1EFATAL HIT 1
2) Gets stuck on Go go go
3) gets stuck after go go go when rom tries to boot up.
Only thing i can do to get it to boot up again is take the battery out and leave it out for a good 10-15 minutes.
I tried Task29 and reinstalling magldr, cwr, and Rafdroid Rom and i still get the same crap
The Phone gets a little warm under the cover sometimes but its right were the micro sd is located
I'm having the same problem. My HD2 will freeze if I play games on it causing me to pull out the battery and when I boot it up, sometimes it will freeze at the MAGLDR screen, will freeze as soon as the rom boots. Right now my phone seems stable and I'm only using it for texting and making calls and nothing else for the fear of damaging the phone any further. I have a TMOUS phone btw.

Last question to u, that when u had ur stock windows rom in ur mobile , does any thing happened like this.
if not, then the problem is not in your mobile or sdcard, the problem is in the method u are intalling by.
1)try to get back to windows mobile.
2)install hardspl4 - 2.08 (not Hardspl3 - 2.08)
3)install magldr 1.13 (not magldr 1.11)
4)install clockworldmod recovery 3.0.0.5 (if ur rom is a cwm rom.)
5)Now flash the rom.
6)give it a try, if not any issue, then
7)push the thanks button. .. lol

That's actually the same thing I do.
Alright I know this might sound ridiculous but it seemed to work ( so far ). After 6 hours of trying to get this phone to work I decided to try something I saw on another thread. I got an icepack and did a complete install while having the phone on the icepack to keep it from getting warm. To my suprise it worked... I'm using my phone now with no issues yet and its been about 12 hours and it hasn't frozen yet. Although it did do a random reboot once ( I have a few bad blocks so I'm guessing that might be the reason). But Yea this worked for me some how. I'll update on any issues I get as soon as I can.

Same problem for me. My hd2 always freezes with any sense ui android build. MIUI and Nexus HD rom works fine.
My simple advise is... reinstal windows. And try again.
This worked for me when i started with the HD2.

Hi I had the same problem, but I sent my phone for repairs and it never froze again. According to HTC they just replaced the main board. But before I did that I actually flashed the official RUU (windows 6.5), and it continued to freeze, so I was quite sure it was a hardware problem. Indeed after repairs my phone didn't freeze anymore.

No matter what rom i use on my hd2 it ALWAYS freezes(I was having the same issues with my first hd2 but eventually the screen on it stopped working and i sent it back for warranty and got a new one)
Ive flashed 2 other hd2's that belong to some friends and i did the exact same thing to their phones that i did to mine and they dont have any issue.
I dont know what to do and why am i the unlucky one
Please XDA Community i come to you for Guidance! I know this phone can be amazing but why is it being so stubborn!
Can it be SD related?

I also had 2 x HD2 which did this.
Froze when got to hot, or if using gps or mobile data.
Sold it 2 weeks ago, now own Desire HD and it's BRILLIANT!!
So now ive been running rafdroid on the phone without an sd and it runs.. but laggy since theres almost no space left in phone and it isnt getting hot. It only gets hot when it operates with the SD inside.
anyone know anything about that?
same problem
i have the exact same issues. the phone freezes every time it boots, be it magdlr nand, sd, wm 6.5 anything. however my old hd2 had no problems at allbut i broke it changing the screen digitizer and lcd.
(the white plastic on the connector that connects the lcd and digitizer to the main board broke.)
im pretty sure the reboots are mother board related but i don't know if telling tmobile or htc that will do anything because the phone is old. (i got this other hd2 from a guy on craigslist.)
I had the same freezing problem with my HD2. After all the research I've done, none of them worked. Then i put the phone into the freezer for a minute and took an ice pack, placed it on the back of the phone where CPU is located. While holding the ice pack, I re installed the ROM and at the and freezing issues were solved. It never froze again.
I hope this solves your problem too.

I want to ask whether this cooling trial fixed freezing problem forever? suppose if u use your set for more than for hour streaming over wifi? never it got freeze again?
The best solution that you can flash back to WinMo 6.5 and run Android from SD Card.
I have the same issue... but...
Make a complete instalation with an ice pack?? Are u joking me?? It works??
well... i have not to lose... i will report if i try it...
I flashed stock rom and run android from sdcard. but when i press Haret.exe is going to HTC green logo and after restarting. some solution?
Similar problem
I have a similar problem. But with two different phones.
I bought LG Optimus One about two years ago. After a few months, some freezes appeared... I've sent it to manufacturer three times and every time they changed some parts... but nothing have helped. I've made some experiments (another battery, SIM card, MicroSD card, custom ROMs) and than I realized, that the problem occurs only while the mobile internet is ON.
This summer, my friend offered me used HTC HD2 and I bought it. He used to have Android there with no problems. After a few weeks, the freezes occured again. And again: I can surf internet all day by wifi with no problems, but when I tunr on the mobile internet (MI), the phone freezes. The back cover of battery is a bit hot, but this appears while long using the phone too without MI (without freezes).
I've tried almost everything to solve this problem: changed SIM card, changed SD card, everytime with flash of the newest ROM... nothing helped.
I'm not sure if the problems with LG OO and HTC HD2 have the same reason, but I can't believe I can buy two phones with similar problems without transfering them.
What aboutthat crazy plan of flashing with ice cooling? Does it work afret a few months too?
