[Q] Help on fixing hd2 that wont boot up

Hey guys I have a hd2 that wont boot up anymore. I have installed several windows 6.5 cooked roms into this device for a while now. Recently this device has been given me a lot of problems until finally it took a dump. Now everytime i power up the device it stays in the splash screen. It doesnt even show radio version, rom version,etc on the bottom left of the screen. So is this hd2 dead or is there some way that i can fix it. I even tried installing tmobile's official rom on this device by going into the "rainbow screen" so that the device can be seen by using the usb cable, but alas....it didnt work either. So any help would be appreciated .

If it doesn't install, and nothing installs, then you need to take it to repair I guess.

I had a feeling about that. I just figured there was no way to fix it and the fact that i couldnt send it back to tmobile to get a replacement was out of the question since the firmware was modified. But your saying there are shops that fix these kinds of issues? If so, I better start looking around over here.

why dont you try sd card method for flashing your rom !1! you can pm me if you need further help

Do you mean that it can't get to the boot loader screen (rainbow) or that trying to install a ROM from there didn't work? You might want to flash the original HSPL too, just to check.

What I mean is that everytime I boot up the hd2 it stays stuck on the splash screen. It doesn't even show the rom information in red at the bottom left corner of the screen. But I can boot to the tri color menu though. I have tried to install the tmous official rom by plugging the USB when I'm in the tri color menu and it always stays stuck at 9%. So is there way to fix this or am I screwed.

Try the sd-card recovery instead of the USB one.

After that, even if it fails, it shows only SPL in the tri-color screen then you are set to claim warranty.

Well my bro... i think thats nand problems or heating issues ... does flashing rom goes all ok or it stops during flashing ? if stops than check if you phone is hot - hotter than normal.
Try this : Take out battery, memory card, sim card and put you phone in the fridge for about 5-10 min ( dont worry tried many times... no harm ) meanwhile prepare your sd card to flash rom with sd card method ... to do that extract Ruu rom - stock one - download with hd2 serial nr ( winrar, 7zip etc) find Ruu_Signed.nbh rename it to LEOIMG.nbh than copy to sd card ( format you sd card fat32 and make sure it works ... 2gb will work ) take phone out from fridge put sd card & battery into phone power one phone while holding volume down key ( go into tricolor screen - bootloader) and follow procedure in phone... i hope everything goes well and you fix you phone... but if still no success than flash android or wp7 ( if you have warranty flash stock SPL and return phone).
best regards from me

Reflashing stock att rom

I have an HTC Surround that I cant get to boot past htc logo and if i try to hard rest it goes to spl screen. Where can i get the software to reflash it. I also have another microsd that i can change out if that is bad

still working on
So I replaced the mirco sd and tried to do the restore using the power and volume buttons and still would not get it to try and boot more then a few secs and stop at the htc screen. I also flashed the stock att rom that I got off xda but still no luck. My last chance is trying a new battery today are there any more suggestions

My surround did the same thing recently. It's a problem surrounds have. Unfortunately you have tried the 3 most common solutions.
1: reflash with stock rom
2: Change out sd card
3: hard reset
The only way I know of to get a working one after you have tried those 3 things is hope it's under warranty. :-/

Where did you get that stock at&t rom? I've been all through the developer section and all I see are telus and cingular roms. I've got a phone from the shop that's stuck on the htc logo and replacing the sd card hasn't fixed it. I tried to flash a telus rom because hey what the hell do I have to lose but RUU wasn't able to establish an ActiveSync connection on the htc logo screen looping repeatedly. Is there a way to force it into a sort of download mode from the htc logo to do the flashing from?

Cingular is AT&T. I have flashed both of these ROMS to my AT&T Surround. Both work perfectly.

i'm guessing this should work:
C. Windows Phone 7 ROM Flashing Instructions
1. Unzip your downloaded *.zip file in a separate folder
2. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
3. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
4. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
5. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
6. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
7. After completion of (6.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
8. To flash the new ROM go to your pc/laptop folder of (1.) above
9. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen

Do You still need help about this?
Basically you need to download DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH from this forum, this will allow you to flash a custom rom. The ROM installed at the phone must be a NODO one because mango roms updates the loader and are not compatible.
For apply it you must put the phone on loader. Connect the phone to the usb, turn it off, turn it on but holding volume down key.
Once there you will see the 3 color screen and will say USB run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and follow the steps.
The phone will restart and showing again the 3 color screen but with HSPL now you can install DFT ROM. DFT ROM is basically a custom Windows Phone with the option to sideload apps you just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the DFT ROM downloaded and it will upgrade your OS to DFT Version.

Now what? SPL too high!
My brothers HTC surround has crashed, and fails to load the OS. i can get to the bootloader, but it's
spl-4.2.2250.1 (129185) MNG
i've got HSPL and RSPL, but they say DON'T TRY IF NOT 1.X SPL OR IF IT SAYS MNG. his says both. he was running mango, and i'm just trying to reinstall a stock rom. I'm wondering what advice any of you might have. I've reinstalled roms on Samsung devices, but not on an HTC, so i'm not sure what all this is about, or what the consequences are of proceeding. any help would be great.
Thanks dudes.

bump?
please?

Is it 1/2 bricked?
If you connect the device to a PC does it go to USB mode? At teh red blue green screen does it say USB at the bottom?

USB
It does display USB. If i leave it on for like an hour, eventually, i just discovered, windows DOES load, and it says "your memory is corrupt" it does connect to the computer, and it is detected by my pc, and it does display USB. I'm going to try to put in a new SD card, but i'm wondering once i do that, will i be able to flash the retail rom to it, with that spl.
thanks!

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837.I believe you will have to downgrade your bootloader. I haven't tried this yet myself, I hope it helps you out.

[Q] roll back to win6.5

hello,
i have flashed the Nand android from the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Now I want to go back original win rom........
Problem is I am unable to make the Active Sync though my USB through android phone is detesting and in boot loader screen USB is coming up when I connect to USB.
How to uninstall the HSPL. magldr and then the nand android.

the instructions are stupid, even though they are correct. ''get an activesync connection'' doesn't mean 'connect to the activesync program'', it means connect to usb,,,, windows uses the activesync usb drivers even though the activesync program doesn't recognise a phone when it is in bootloader mode.
so long as it says USB in bootloader, you are good to go.

but dear as long as my phone is not recognized by this active syn I cannot flash original rom............I tried flashing rom from the SD card by changing name to LEOIMG.nbh but it also does not work for me(I have read this in XDA forum only)
is there any other way to flash the ROM

Maybe this will help you:
Solution from Djet:
you have to format your microSD in FAT32, I did it with my stock microSD and it worked. VolumeDown button before starting makes the device boot in UpdateMode (3color screen then gray screen asking to press PowerButton to update from leoimg.nbh or volumeDown to cancel).

[Q] HTC HD2 bricked, no tri color bootscreen

Hey guys.
I have a bricked HTC HD2 here. I installed Android 2.2 on it, and it ran fine for a long time. But a few days ago, it got stuck in a bootloop. It gets stuck on the Android logo and doesn't get past that point at all.
What I've tried (in chronological order):
1. AD Hardreset from aMAGLDR: erased all data, but didn't fix the problem. Kept going in bootloop.
2. AD Recovery: Failed. Doesn't get past the "GO GO GO!!"
3. Repair aMAGLDR using HD2 NAND toolkit: tried repairing (150MB partition size) and installing Clockwork Mod (150MB). Same exact results when trying to get into AD recover. Only diffrence is that I now don't have a ROM on my NAND anymore.
4. Install a diffrent rom: Tried a few of them, but they all keep getting stuck on their bootlogo (HTC, Android, ...).
5. Restore STOCK ROM WM6.5: I'd love to, but I can't get into the three-colors-bootscreen. It goes straight to aMAGLDR, even when I boot holding the right buttons (volume down + power [both short click and long hold]). I had set up the ROM files correctly on the SD card.
6. Install the STOCK ROM using the HD2 NAND TOOL: after going to USB Flash mode and installing the default microsoft drivers (it didn't want to accept the Google Android drivers or HTC drivers I downloaded earlier), the flash utility keeps getting stuck on ERROR 264: CONNECTION. The only thing I can do in the HD2 NAND UTILITY is repair aMAGLDR. Other options result in the same error. Task29 can't find the phone either.
Bottom line, I cannot (ABSOLUTELY not) get into the tri color boot screen. It sends me straight to magldr. Also, my volume buttons are working just fine.
I really don't know what to do anymore. I hope someone can help me, any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you try this?
Download an original win 6.5 ROM for your HTC device from HTC webside.
- Take "RUU_signed.nbh" from an original ROM and copy it to your SD card.
- Rename to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset your device while pressing the volume down button

Did you even read the OP's post, clearly I think not. The OP says several times that they can not get the device to the multicolor WINCE bootloader.Without being ably to boot into the bootloader they can notflash via SD card.
At the OP you can stop trying to flash via USB flasher in MAGLDR, it is only for flashing Android RIMs, WP7 ROMs, and Custom Android recoveries. If you are positive your volume down button works then you probably have some bad NAND blocks, but that is just a guess, with out access to the bootloader you are pretty much only left with flashing Android or WP7 via USB flasher in MAGLDR.

That's problematic... The HD2 NAND utility can't flash any ROMs, since the utility can't find the device (error 264).
I've tried 8 diffrent ROMS (from http://android.hd2roms.com/) by putting them on the SD card and use the "AD SD boot" function, but none of them can get past their bootlogo... All ROMs keep hanging on HTC / Android logos. Some of them used to work in the past, I recall...

Here, try these fixes and read the WHOLE POST :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21725062&postcount=7

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, none of the solutions worked. The battery pins were indeed bent, but after putting them back in place, the problem persisted.
I left my phone powered down all night and tried booting it in bootloader this morning. It didn't work. So that rules out solution 3 awell.
I've even put it in the freezer for half an hour (solution 5), but nothing changed.. Browsed through the last thread aswell, but there was no stuff I haven't tried yet. I can't even start tetris, since it keeps hanging on a blank screen aswell

The guy in solution #4 was facing the same issue (I think).
Especially the second part of the solution, where he talks to the OP. Read it carefully, and check out the post and thread he referred to.

Holy freakin..
After reading various threads through links in the one you suggested, I stumpled upon something called American Android. I was able to install it through the USB Flasher. Guess what, it booted PERFECTLY!!
My phone works again, thank you VERY much!!

horayyy for the HD2 & for the guys that gave the solutions!

need information in case of not getting into the bootloader
how can I use the american android + USB flasher method to work for my hd2 if
I am not able to boot it,
can't soft/hard reset it,
can't get into the bootloader (using volume down + end key pressed).
I used android installed on SD card.
It is totally unresponsive for now. volumn keys worked perfectly when it is was working lastly !
Please tell what can bo done to it to get it working or where does the problem lies.

check your battery pins and also battery if it is charged.
and,
Download an original win 6.5 ROM for your HTC device from HTC webside.
- Take "RUU_signed.nbh" from an original ROM and copy it to your SD card(formatted FAT32.)
- Rename to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset your device while pressing the volume or without press
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then you can try an android rom again..

Another solution?
I had the exact same problem. And I am under the impression that there is no solution for every case. But for me it worked to press the volume down button very softly. I tended to push the button as hard as I could, however when I only pressed the volume down button slightly it went straight to the triboot color.
Hopefully this works for some of you.

Can someone help?
Hi,I want to refresh post, becouse i have exact same problem - can't get to serial bootloader, and in MAGLDR i can use only the USB FLASHER option. If someone could tell me how to flash any new rom only through FLASHER ? Last thing i can say: my problem started from installing this app from google Play play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livelogcat.lite (sry for that, but I can't post URL yet) it might messed up my kernel and i have no idea what to do.

HTC Screen Stucked - Nothing Works

Hello Guys.
My nephew has an HTC HD2 (I supose that). It is stucked on the HTC screen. I tried a lot of thing, but nothing works, i'm affraid to make it worst. If someone can help me.
Some informations.
I don't know if it was working with android or windows;
I can access the tri color screen holding volume down and the power button or the reset button on the back of the device;
I already made a hard reset (holding vol up and down and reset buttons) the process was ok but nothing changes.
I don't know what kind of HD2 is it. On the back of phone I have this: HTC HD2 T8585, on the next line some asian characters, next line CCAF093G0600T0.
I tried to put images but i can't, i'm new, so, only link adresses.
This is the image of my tri color screen
i.imgur.com/HtbtBCu.jpg?1
If I try Task29 from Toolkit I receive this error
i.imgur.com/569SjSn.png
I tried all HSPL (HSPL 2, HSPL 3 and HSPL 4) all kind of errors, but the persistent error on HSPL4 is Flow: 00006, Error: 00006, Unknow
If need some other information.. just ask.
Thanks in advanced.

If it has coloured call/end keys (red&green) then it a US T-mobile model
If all keys are white then it the standard model.
Your hd2 has been unlocked by xtc clip box or similar so cid is probably bypassed without need for HSPL .
I would remove sim card & memory card & try flashing a standard windows rom via usb & if fails try using the sd card flash method.
Worth checking windows drivers are installed or just reinstall WMDC (link in hd2 wiki), using sd method removes pc issues from the problem.
If standard windows rom fails try a custom windows rom such as energy as they contain no radio or spl so sometimes will flash fully when hardware nand issues cause full rom to fail .
working rom links & help can be found in hd2 wiki >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2

Ohhh.. Very good informations.
My call/end keys are coloured, so, I have an US T-Mobile model, is right?
I forgot to tell, i live in Brazil.
Now, i'm using windows 10, is it possible to use with WMDC? I tried to find a compatible version but no success.
There is a possibility to manage this phone with windows 10?
Thanks.

First thing I would try is flashing the original US t-mobile hd2 rom via sd card method as removes your pc & w10 from equation ...
us t-mobile rom >
http://www.androidruu.com/Leo/RUU_L...adio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_1.5_Ship.exe

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
You should have most functionality of wmdc in windows 10, installing wmdc6.1 in compatibility mode of vista sp2 may help, also connecting device prior to wmdc install may load better driver resources perhaps !

Hello again..
I tried to install this ROM by SD card Method, but the screen shows a white background with the message Loading... and nothing more.
I tried by computer and after 1% I received an error informing that the image file is corrupted. Then, i tried another download site but the error was the same.
Any idea?
Thanks

Just to add more information.. I tried one more TMOUS ROM: RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_Signed_LEO_Ship same result, white screen with the word Loading... and nothing more.
I tried also two more ROM's:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship and
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Both with the same result. After press the power button to start the updating it begins the updating and failed on the first step.
Any idea?
Thanks.

flash from sd card >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317
if TMOUS rom does not flash try energy custom rom (such as one in my signature) and see if that does.

All these tries was made by Sd Card...
And with your Energy ROM.. the same thing. only white screen with a blue word "Loading..." and nothing more happen.
another tries?
Thanks

Besides trying another smaller sd card such as 2gb or 4gb & making sure nbh file in root of card & trying vis usb flash on a couple of computers you running short on options.
You could also try flashing just radio rom image & see what happens !

Please kindly help
