HD2 stuck at white bootscreen

Hello,
I bought HD2 just yesterday, probably as every member of xda, i tried flashing it. No problem, i tried several ROMs and as far as i remember - after flash it got stuck at white bootscreen with green HTC (i found several threads dealing with this problem, but most of the people had written there ROM, RADIO, .. in the left corner - I dont have this written) So I tried to flash the phone from the SD with stock rom, nothing has changed, I tried taking out the sd & sim card. I tried hardresetting device few times and I got no more ideas.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

Edit 1: In the PDA Phone Rom update utility I cannot see the old version of ROM & Radio..
Edit 2: For now I have HSPL in the phone.

sounds like a missmatched rom and radio. once they are both flashed correctly it will boot. (example, a rom based on 2.10 rom will require a radio of around 2.06 or better to boot.)
edit - just seen you flashed with a stock rom from sd card, can you boot to bootloader? (press and hold vol down, tap power on)
dont worry about

I had exactly the same problem several days ago. After exchanging several ROMs, I got stuck at very first white screen with a green banner, but before it even showed the ROM and radio versions on it. And it happen after the ROM flush finished successfully. I also tried to hard reset it a couple of times.
But after that I used a gold card with 1.61 WWE ROM on it that I still have from the time when the HSPL wasn't developed yet.
During the flash from the gold card it waited at first and shown a some kind of error or warning grey exclamation sigh in a triangle, but just for a split second. After that it returned to continue flushing. I think it took twice as long as it should be, but as it finished, I was able to boot, hard reset and re-flash to the stock ROM 1.66 WWE, the usual way through the USB cable.

samsamuel: I can get with no problem to bootloader, could you send me exact link of the rom and radio that work together? And how come, that everytime I connect the phone to charger, it starts up?
mikiort: I havent ever used goldcard, havent ever heard of it better to say..
thanks for your help, guys, really appreciate it!!!

Since you have HSPL stil on your phone
(SPL 1.42.HSPL and not 1.42.0000) you are happy. Flash a stock rom from USB, lets say a 1.66 wwe rom, and if it still wont boot, go to teh radio roms thread, pick a low radio, (the 1.61 for instance) flash that, and you should have a working phone.

yeah, right now im flashin 1.66 WWE but it stopped and 99%... waaa im gettin nervous ok i will try and let you know

Ok, flashed 1.66 WWE but nothing has changed, im about to flash radio.

Flashed Radio 1.61 "Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07.nbh.7z" and still nothing... Oh!!! do you have any other ideas? Or should i again try to flash from SD official ROM?

hmm, sorry to hear that. i'd maybe consider flashing stock from sd card, but you need to be sure you have teh correct stock rom for your phone provider and region.
Be warned, this will remove HSPL, if you do not have the correct stock rom, it wont work.

Yea, i did that once already with 1.48 WWE Eastern Europe, it worked (it didnt show the triangle sign) but it didnt help, now im trying to flash 1.43 but im not expecting anything good

Done, nothing helps ... Now i have SPL 1.42000 so i can get the HSPL but as far as it doesnt help i dont know what to do...

Ok, if you have 1.42.0000 you need to redo the hspl flash. Once the spl is 1.42.hspl you can then flash to the rom of your choice. Which rom were you trying?
Many of the new roms require you to flash to a new radio at least 2.06 and most recently to 2.08 PRIOR to flashing the rom and if you don't the rom does not boot up and gets stuck on the white HTC screen.

really noob question, but anyways... do you firstly flash the rom and than the radio?
and to those ROMs.. i tried duffys, energy and one more i cant remember right now.. Im trying to HSPL and than flash from Vista computer, not XP...

For these newer roms you need to flash the radio first and then the rom, otherwise the rom doesn't boot up and gets stuck on the white screen.

If you are flashing a newer ROM based on the new TMOUS ROM I would flash the 2.08.50.08.03 Radio, then the ROM. Make sure you have HSPL 1.42 first.

Ok, I do have SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL there... now if possible tell me the "for sure" working combination... Btw, i remember how did it happen, i flashed dutty's rom and wifi was not working (option in communications couldnt be turned on/off was grey) and so i tried to flash there other rom.. and it got into problems..

I'm currently using the latest NRG rom (link in my signature) with the 2.08.50.08 radio and that works. Just as I said, flash the radio first and then the rom. The Dutty rom should also work the same way though so the choice is still yours.

OK so here i come, i flashed there firstly the radio Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.05, then Dutty's ROM Duttys Leo HG V1 5.2.21892 but nothing has changed.. I think the device is ready to be sent to HTC, what do you guys think?

Help!! Uninstall HARDSPL goes wrong.

Hello!
Like the title says: HARDSPL goes wrong.
I need to uninstall hardspl so i can use my warranty.
I have follow the tutorial in this thread how to uninstall it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
When the flash is compleated and its time for reboot i got this message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWWpBbQTPb8
If i take out the memorycard and reboot i got this message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4S-Rcqwlsc
If i try to reflash i getting the same message as the firs plus it says "upgrade ROM code error please try agen"
Can some one please help me out with this?
And yes i have done a hard reset.
And yes i have try to boot via usb to reflash.
If its to any help i used a ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717 tha one called "LEO2.07"

I think you have to find official ROM which was installed on you HD2 before you changed HARDSPL and installed cooked ROM. You'll find all official ROM's in Leo Official ROMs thread. When you find the right one install it from your SD card. Hope this helps

Like I said. I have used a rom from official rom thread=) I also tryed the rom from htc.com with same resoult.
Can I uninstall a bad flash or something and start from the beginning ? Cuz now im stockt in my situation.

Like I said you have to find the "right" one. It's not just any official ROM. I my case I had to install some really old ROM. Unfortunately I don't know how to find the right one, just use the trial and error method.

Okej! Sorry for missunderstanding. So the only way out is to try everyone ?
I was lucky to get the first released hd2 in my city, so i bett its a old one =)
Does it have to be the same language release to ?

In official ROMs thread is link to Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs. In there are very well organised ROMs by country and carrier, you should find it quick enough. Just start with 1.43 and 1.48 and only those which matches your country and/or carrier.

or just to HTCs website and get it from there (assuming its not a vendor locked device)

Dont realy know what that its. But I press vol down and start bottom. Then the tri-colored screen shows up "bootloader" for about 1 second. Then i got this screen http://img405.imageshack.us/i/20090607028.jpg/
I have let it load for about 20min, then i gave up.

I'm afraid to say this, but you have SPL 2.07, which means you are on 'official SPL' and can only flash TMOS Official ROM (since the only SPL 2.07 is tied to US ROM)
I think the only way is to use goldcard, to flash your country's official ROM via sdcard (although I'm not sure if that will work, because I read some folks have problem with that)

Its seems i also have a problem flashing a stock rom for warranty reasons.
I did the following steps:
1. Get an official stock rom. (in my case it would me a NLD ROm 1.48)
2. Put it on storage card en change to LEOIMG.nbh
3. Turn of phone, press volume down en power up unntil tri color screen apears.
4. Follow steps on sreen.
But. I dont get step 4. On step it says for 1 sec ''loading''. After that, it goes back to the trii colour HARDSPL screen.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?
I tried two different SD cards. A 2 gb version and a 4 gb version (both from Scandisk formatted as FAT32)
Is there a way/possible to flash a stock rom using activesync?

No, your warranty is invalid as you're using an SPL/ROM not for your region - hence why you shouldn't flash a ROM from the SD card as this is the issue you have. You're now stuck with a broken HD2 until HSPL can be used on SPL 2.x

Okej. Thats not good Hope some one release a HSPL 2.xx then =) But now i can't even use my phone anymore.

(just to double check)when you boot to bootloader, what does it say next to spl?
if it says spl 2.x then the above posts are correct, and you are stuck with spl2 until hspl2 is released.
You CAN get your phone working again, even with spl 2.
You need a goldcard, and you can then flash the 2.x official rom which will at least get your phone working. Once it is working, you can then flash custom roms using sspl BUT ONLY roms based on the 2.x official rom, and you won't be able to change radios using sspl. The only way you can change your radio is flashing a 2.x official rom with the goldcard.

[Q] Android without a new Radio ROM?

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to use Android on the HD2 without the special ROM version it needs. During a reboot my device shows:
R 2.07.51.22~2
G 15.32.50.07U
D 1.72.86526
A reset with the volume down key being pressed shows "SPL 1.66.0000".
Thank you

Hi,
that´s a fine question. My device shows the same.
Can annybody tell us something about this topic?
Thanks

You can try andriod without any rom changes, just download it, extract to SD card & run (per instructions). It should work, in general, but you'll most likely get the common issues, like "robot voice".
Try some builds & see how they work for you.

Today I tried out "HyperDroidV1.2" but i get one of the known problems!
I don´t want to change the radiorom because of my warranty.
Every thread I looked up say, that you lost the warrenty if you try HSPL and a other RadioRom.
I'm afraid to make my phone unusable.
Thanks for your answer!

Without the right Radio ROM, Android will stop booting at the "init screen" (or "init panel"?) line and the display will fade to black.

Be careful!!
I tried the FroyoSense V2 on my stock HD2, and my WM locked up totally. No 3'rd part progs would run, could not install anything. The phone was more or less useless. So backup your phone before even trying to run Android.

well you need at least 2.08 radio. i have exact same stock rom, but you need to hspl and upgrade your radio.

Why are you hesitant to flash a new radio? It is super simple to do and it is reversible. If I were you I'd go to radio 2.12. You can also flash a custom WM Rom with built in android boot manager.

My understanding is that Andriod only works with the R 2.**.50.** radio. I think these are the US radios. Any .51 radio are for EUR/AUS and will not work with Android.
I have a Telstra HD2 with 2.09.51.03 and have to flash 2.10.50.08 inorder to work with Android.
I believe unless you have a TMobile HD2, it is quite safe to use any radio rom and the flashing process is very straight forward indeed.

[Q] White Screen of Death [HELP]

I've been searching for over 20hours around the internet for any solution to the so dreadful White Screen of Death in HD2.
This is due to a Radio Rom incopatible with the device. May be called Radio Brick! Lol
Well, it's truly desperating, as no method tried works!
The phone as soon as it's turned on just shows a white screen, no letters, no nothing.
Happened when I - dumbly - flashed a incompatible radio rom...
It has happened to a lot of other good people, but no solutions yet arrived to the internet!!!
In my case, I have hspl 2.08, and can perfectly access to bootloader, but flashing anything through SD does NOT work.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
-flashing stock rom from HTC site, but when it comes to the radio part... UPDATE FAILED!
-tried a method here in XDA that solved a case like this but nothing... when it comes to flashing the radio, it always fails
-tried downgrading HSPL to SPL or to another version of HSPL.. curiously, the process says it was sucessfull but it changes nothing.. when i go to bootloader again the version is the same, no matter what kind of version I select...weird!
-nothing flashed through RUU works because comunication fails after 5min at 0%
-task 29 - does nothing
-changing rom/radios - always gives an error in radio update
I'm really, really, REALLY desperate, and I believe i'm not the only one in this situation!
Does someone have a brilliant idea on this?
I got it working again a couple of times but then it starts freezing after 10 hours and then i get again the whitescreen..
Now its stuck at bootloader i can't get in magldrboatloader does some1 known how i get into magldr because than i can flash another rom because in boatloader i can't flash

Hello,
I also have same problem I also cannot find a solution, Hope somebody can help us.

try j-tagging your devices !!
also it may be a hardware issue !!
good luck !!

Are you sure flashing through SD isn't working? Format the SD card new as FAT not as FAT32. And try to rename the the nbh file with into LEOIMG.NBH . Flash through a SD not a SDHC. Try this things, if they aren't working maybe j-tagging fix it.

you'll have to try flashing your device again and again !?
but i think j tagging is the best option for this problem !! !!
you can go to the original htc store if you have not flashed hspl !!
(flashing hspl voids warranty !) !! also try to stock spl to 1.42.0000 by using hspl2 !!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
if the bootloader screen (the three color screen) show 1.42.0000 spl then u can show it to the official htc stores !!
else
contact a local repair shop and try to jtag !!
may help !!
good luck !! !

So there is no fix i can do at home like flashing a specific rom or something else?

The best thing you can do is update the kernel version. I haven't had a WSOD for more than half of year.
The only kernel I've had this problem with was a rafpigna kernel on a sense rom. It was a build made in the first trimester of this year.

SPL-2.08. HSPL
I can flash it back to the normal rom from windows mobile. But i want a android version maybe some1 know a good rom and radio thats stays good?

Let me explain whats happing me all the time:
First my phone freezed up all the time and after a couple of weeks I got the [wsod] I can boot into bootloader (3 color screen) there I can flash it back to the original stock (WiMo6.5)
But I want android for my whatsapp and I like android. So I put maglder 1.13 on my phone. Then I tried android NAND flashing this worked but afther 10 hours my phone is off and I got the [wsod] again. I flashed my radio first to 2.15 but didnt help I tried this 2 times.
Yesterday I flashed my hd2 I followed a guide for android sd flashing I put the radio 2.12 on my phone and a old rom. I flashed it with haregt.exe it worked for 10 hours again then boom [wsod]
Im realy desperate, have some1 fixed this problem by himself already?

Did you try to run winmo for a few days? If you have problems even with stock OS most probably is hardware issue. If everything is OK running winmo then try fresh install (task29, radio, magldr, predefined recovery,ROM) of this ROM:

[Q] EU HD2 stuck on 'htc quietly brilliant'

Update: Maybe stock rom is not flashing because i'm not getting the correct ROM for this phone?
Could someone PLEASE help me identify the correct stock ROM with the below serial number of the phone?
Hi Xda gods,
I shows me as a noob because i forgot my old account password!
Anyway, I have with me a friend's EU HD2. Details as follows:
HTC HD2 T8585
S/N: SH06KNW01615
The following are the problems with the phone:
1. I think he had someone try to upgrade the radio on the phone WITHOUT HSPL first because it used to show a 'software update failed, please try again' msg when turned on.
2. Installed HSPL 2.08 successfully and tried to install radio version 2.15.50.** and that didn't work either. got an error 264 i think which said 'this update utility cannot be used on your PDA'.
3. Read in many threads that a possible solution could be to flash back to a stock ROM that came with the phone via SD card method but after abt 3% i get an error saying 'radio v2 FAILED, LEOIMG.NBH FAILED, Update Failed'.
4.Used Mtty and followed the steps..set value to 14 0, task 29, task 8...and then flashed a custom rom through SD card...
5.The cutom rom flased fine but now phone is stuck on 'HTC quietly brilliant' and does nothing else.
Could one of you brilliant minds PLEASE help me solve this problem? i tried for more than 7 hours yesterday but didn't get anywhere...
thanks in advance!

Custom ROM did not have a Radio included so expect trying a Radio such as linked in my sig may be worth another go.
If problems persists could be memory issue or other hardware issue.

Thanks Mister B for the quick response..
I tried flashing a radio before flashing a custom Rom but got the same 'This update utility cannot be used on your PDA' error..tried radios: 2.15.50...2.12.something..even 2.08.50 but all with the same error...

You try radio after flashing ROM ?
What custom ROM are you using ?

Try to flash official ROM. It will update your radio.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

"stuck radio" - pretty common error, with varying symptoms. Yours is the standard set of symptoms, , , everything flashes except radios, nothing boots (because radio is corrupt and cannot initialise, i presume).
Other variants are
- spl/hspl appears to flash ('we hacked it' when running hspl.exe) but doesn't change
- radio wont flash but custom roms WILL flash and boot (radio is stuck but not corrupted)
- spl and radio are both stuck and won't change.
Sadly, there are very few success stories regarding this error, however there are one or two, so don't give up hope just yet.
Primarily though, you need to find the correct stock roms, , tried contacting htc support? that's where i would start.
Then, once you know the correct roms to use, get all versions (i.e the 1.42, the 1.66 ((or 1.72 if its branded)) and 3.14) roms for that region/carrier, and try flashing them from sd card. There have been one or two occasions where trying again and again just suddenly works, and there are one or two more where using the freezer trick makes it work.
If your spl is currently 2.x then you need to change that,,, 2.x is NOT a stock spl for regular hd2's, only for tmous hd2's, and it can cause issues as it doesnt like being downgraded, even by sd card flashing. In which case, use hspl2 to set 1.66.0000 and go from there with the sd card flashes, , start with 1.42.
Mainly tho, prepare for bad news, that way when you've exhausted all possibilities you wont be as disappointed, and if it DOES suddenly take, it will be a bonus.

"stuck radio" - pretty common error, with varying symptoms. Yours is the standard set of symptoms, , , everything flashes except radios, nothing boots (because radio is corrupt and cannot initialise, i presume).
Other variants are
- spl/hspl appears to flash ('we hacked it' when running hspl.exe) but doesn't change
- radio wont flash but custom roms WILL flash and boot (radio is stuck but not corrupted)
- spl and radio are both stuck and won't change.

Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, HSPL flashes fine..after the 'we hacked it' screen i go into bootloader again and the HSPL has installed.
With custom Roms, they flash fine but stay stuck at the boot screen and nothing else.
Tried every possible method even with Mtty but to no avail! No radio will flash!!
I'm currently on 2.08 but i will downgrade to 1.66 or 1.42 like you said and try again..
It was a branded htc but i installed HSPL..should i still try only stock roms or custom roms are fine?
Also, i saw in someone's post that their bricked HTC was brought back to life using the Goldcard method with dutty's Rom...maybe i can try this method.
Will let you guys know how it turns out.

Excuse me "hijacking" the thread with a question - I've been through this and another long thread about "stuck" radios and not seen a definitive answer (perhaps there isn't one).
In which part of the phone's firmware does the "carrier lock" reside, and what form does it take, is it in the bootloader, radio rom, or main firmware?
I've just purchased a second hand carrier locked HD2. I don't specifically want to unlock it as my sim matches it, but I have installed hspl, using hspl4, with a view to playing with ROMs, and wondered how far you can go without unlocking.
I'm quite used to flashing roms from previous unlocked HTCs I've owned, but I've never had a carrier locked phone before, hence the question.

You can flash away as normal, Carrier SIM lock makes no difference but for the cheap price of HD2 unlocking it may be wise to get a code & unlock it know rather than perhaps the future.

Thanks. I might well take your advice on unlocking bearing in mind the minimal cost.
Still puzzled, as a few of the queries I've seen seem to suggest the problems flashing different radios some folk were having were down to the phone being carrier locked. Or, maybe it was just a case of certain radios only working with certain firmwares (and maybe with certain spls) and nothing to do with carrier lock at all?
Sorry for my apparent ignorance on the subject!

you have a regular hd2, therefore all radios will work on your phone, , but with some caveats.
If you intend to
a - use wp7 or nand android..
b - use a custom wm6.5 rom that unlocks the 576mb ram
then you MUST have a tmous radio - which translates to - you MUST use a radio with ..50.. in teh version.
i.e 2.07.51. will not work, 2.07.50 WILL work.
ALL radios will have either 50 or 51 in that third set of digits, if a radio doesn't, dont download it, go find another one. (some radio downloads may show the protocol version first, so it may say something like ''15.32.50.07U 2.07.51.22 2'' in which case its a 51 radio
Many people (myself included) find that some radios give slightly better reception and/or battery and/or less wake from sleep issues than others, however its not consistent, , what works well for one hd2 may not be the optimal for the next hd2 in the same location.
In general tho, most people seem to have settled on 2.11.50, 2.12.50 2.14.50 or 2.15.50.
(For simplicity, go flash 2.15.50 and you can forget about it till you've got everything else working)
Dont bother going lower than 2.10, theres nothing down there thats any better than those four.
As for the radio brick from flashing the wrong radio, thats tmous hd2 only, you can ignore that.
Carrier being locked will have no effect on anything you do, though you cannot unlock it under android, you need to be running winmo 6.5 to enter an unlock code and make it stick.
(Reports on this vary slightly, some people say they have successfully entered a carrier unlock code under android, , , i'm sceptical)
Big note - - - Anything that refers to a tmous, or a tmobile hd2, or a tmobile radio, , does not apply to you, just because it may be t mo provided, or locked to tmo, or running a tmobile branded stock rom,. its still a regular hd2 you have (well, assuming you didnt get an import from the states? it would say t mobile under the earpiece, and have red and green end/send keys if its a tmous). Only t mobile usa bought a different version hd2 from HTC.

Don't be! Sceptical, I mean... They're right!
I've managed to unlock by code a few TMoUS-version HD2s under Android(various versions, I don't remember...)!
Unlocking by wires is another story: it can be done under WM, only!

Thanks so much for all the nuggets of info. I actually have radio 2.15.50 already, so it can't be bettered and is ready for android if I decide to go that route.
The info relating to Android and carrier lock (that it doesn't make any difference unless you want to unlock) is also very useful.
From what you've said it seems carrier locking has very little effect on anything other than, er, choice of sim
So, sorry to be persistent, where does the carrier lock info reside in the phone? In other words, when you unlock a phone, officially or otherwise, where are the bits of information which change? It's purely out of curiosity - I need to know these things

Sorry, no clue, I'd suspect some dedicated chip somewhere, since its not affected by anything we have access to. Just a wild guess tho.

The SIM lock is part of the bootlaoder, more specifically the IPL. This is what only Win Mo ROMs can be used to SIM unlock a HD2 because only Win Mo ROMs can actually communicate with the IPL of the bootloader. Now let me go a little deeper, like Samsamuel said it is more than likely a seperate chip somewhere on the mainboard of the HD2 that actually stores the SIM lock but only the IPL can access and change the data on that chip.

Thanks to you both for the info. That would explain why being network locked has almost no effect on anything else like ROMs etc. The actual info might even be stored in flash in the chip which "drives" the sim.

I think the problem could be somewhat overcome if i knew which would be the correct stock rom for this phone! Its quite maddening!
My phone's serial starts with SH which i know is Shanghai, China but i haven't been able to find a 1.66 stock rom for this..
Thoughts?

Fone HTC support, they'll tell you in seconds.
Also, there are no branded 1.66 roms, ,, because branded 1.66 roms carry the verson number 1.72.
