I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2
actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide
I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.
im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der
Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.
yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous
This phone has been giving me hell for a really long time.
In short; it don't work. It will flash but will never boot right.
When I got my HD2 it had the stock WinMo 6.5.3 ROM that worked perfectly. I played with booting Android off my flash drive but got the fast audio problem. So I flashed ChuckyDroidROM, and used that for a month with some different Android builds, all worked fairly well.
But then one day, it started crashing after a while of use. Sometimes it would just not let me unlock it, and other times it completely crashes and restarts. Every time it happened earlier and earlier after booting.
So I tried Task29 and putting the stock ROM back on it, no go. It crashes right after it boots.
Now I've flashed HSPL 2.08.HSPL, Radio 2.15.50.14, and MAGLDR 1.12. I'm trying to flash WP7 to it, but since the MAGLDR menu doesn't show up, I can't flash anything.
It boots into MAGLDR, but just shows "aMAGLDR V1.12, Build: 12 2011 XX:XX:XX, by Cotulla 2011" but nothing else. The menu doesn't show up, but it did once....
Any ideas? I'm desperate. I'm about to blow it up....
EDIT: Now it won't even f**king turn on!!!! And yes the battery is FULL
I'm having an issue with my HD2 also (even though I've flashed it successfully several times) so this sounds like a very, very isolated issue. The problem I'm having - disabled phone functions in WP7 - also appears to be an isolated issue. Sometimes these things can be the result of a bad flash. Give this thread a week. You're in the right place.

When your rebooting and the splash screen shows up are you holding down the power button to gain access to magldr options?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Did you took out your SD card? If no, take it out, try turn it on. If you can reach the boot (means the multicolors menu) than your good to flash.
I have the feeling that might be because of damaged SD card (similar issue I had). Hope that helps.
Good luck!

Yes I am. It showed up today, and I was able to flash WP7 to the device, but now it will not boot into WP. It freezes at MAGLDR, no options.

I can flash anything I want, it just never boots, or it boots and then crashes immediately. I have tried with and without my SD card/SIM card.
Wow it seems as if your doing every thing right. My suggestion is, Re-flash the stock Rom that came with the phone, Revert back to the original radio and spl. Call your sevice provider for a replacment phone as it sounds like its defective. Thats what i would do.

Go into Bootloader Flash a Stock Rom.
Then Update the Radio
Format SD -.- but backup your Data
and try to reflash MAGLDR
After that try to reflash Wp7 it should work
New developement:
It won't turn on, period. Nothing.
The power button does nothing, the reset button does nothing, nothing works.
The battery is at 4.1V, it's rated at 3.7V, would that cause the phone to not turn on?
Maybe a hardware failure.
Any warranty?
This happens when the phone over heats dont turn it for a while and dont have it conect it to the computer or anything when u try turn it on.

ok this happened to me before take it out and leave it out of the phone for a while.
I even got to think my phone was mess up also one time it wasnt working and I change the battery I had for the one of my girlfriend to turn it back on dont know if that helps.
Hello,
I searched the internet for about 2 hours and couldn't find a solution, thats the reason why im opening this thread, im stuck.
Before i did following steps, the phone wouldt boot into winmo, it was constantly rebooting.
So i tried to flash a new rom.
It was really difficult to flash the phone because i couldnt use hspl it froze every time i tried, so i got uspl working after a few attempts. I flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671277
after sucesfully flashing i turned the phone on, same issue, it got stuck in a boot loop.
So i decided to get the phone fully charged again an leave it for like an hour, after the break i restarted it and it worked nicely. So it was time to get the sd card in the slot and the sim, so i did a quick restart... but since then im having the same issues again, stuck in a boot loop, no matter what i do, even if i take out all the cards still happens. I tried to wait and charge, but no sucess...
i have no idea why the phone isnt starting winmo, but it drives me creazy...
32MB
SPL 1.54
anyone have any ideas, had same problems? Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks in advance
________________________________
Found the problem, the battery connector seems to be broken, as long as i push against the battery the phone works nicely. unfortunatly this means good bye.
hi,
it´s the same problem for me. tryed different hardspl, uspl but no change.
ist restarts sometime direct after the bootloader and sometime it starts normaly and then restart.
i´ve changed the battery but it don´t solve the problem.
any suggestions?
I've been using Android NAND for a while with no problems but the other day I struggled getting into bootloader. Eventually (for no obvious reason) it went in and I flashed the shipped rom. I tried bootloader again but no dice. Then I made the fatal error of flashing HSPL again only to get stuck on the O2 screen. I can't get any further.
I can't connect to the pc because it doesn't see anything and I can't get it onto bootloader to flash anything else. I've tried everything I can think of bar JTAG (which is out of my league) and I'm supposed to be sending it back to HTC tomorrow for a repair.
Question is, will HTC see HSPL installed without access to the bootloader and, if they do, will they tell me where to shove it?
..tried searching everywhere before starting a new thread...

How did you flash shipped if you couldn't get into bootloader?
You're doing vol-down and power on right? If you get a splash you should be able to get into bootloader, because SOMETHING is telling your splash to show up.
Try putting the correct shipped on your SD and power up with vol down.
I think they will be able to tell that you modified it.
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it again with the sd card. The only thing I can think is that the battery died on me almost as soon as I tried the sd card shipped rom. I saw the bootloader for a second and then the phone went off. When I charged it back up, no bootloader...
The problem is I've tried so many things, I'm struggling remembering the exact order of my screw up. I have a feeling after the battery died and I couldn't get it into bootloader, HSPL was working and I flashed the stock rom using USB flash.

Well, I've seen lots of warnings about having your battery greater than 50% while flashing, which (obviously) means that if your device has run out of juice while flashing could lead to unrepairable (by end-user) issues .
Try orangekid's advice and report back.

when flashing from SD, SPL and radio are the first 2 things it flashes afaik, so power out right when you started flashing could be a serious issue.
Hopefully what I said above works though, if your SPL is completely fubar I have no idea what HTC will say, what I would tell them if you try to RMA is you had problems with random reboots and did a hard-reset, then when it started flashing it just turned off for no reason and now it's weird or something like that so they think it was a regular stock hard reset thing and not a "oh **** I have to restore to factory cuz I have HSPL on here" thing.
Ok, so I tried about 10 more times with no joy - at least it's consistently broken now.
Thanks guys, just hoping for an 11th hour rescue. I'll send it off tomorrow and report back the outcome with HTC. I appreciate your help. I knew the lack of charge and flashing via bootloader was going to trip me up one day.
Was HTC able to bring the phone back to its original state or were you able to do something to get the issue fixed? I have the same problem. All I did was to load prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 ROM (this ROM is the same as Cotulla's but with few fixes). This was the first time I ever attempted loading an Android ROM on to my HD2. All looked well initially. The phone was rebooted after ROM was installed. I did intial setup like facebook acct, email, wi-fi, gprs, etc. Then after few hours, the menu button (windows button in HD2) and back button quit working. Even the power button when pressed for few seconds wouldn't bring up the power off and other options. I thought a soft reset would fix it and then I pulled the battery off and restarted. All I now get is the first boot screen with "123456...go.go.go..." and then a white screen with HTC on it. Nothing more. It is stuck there. I tried getting in to bootloader, but I couldn't. Holding down the volume-down and then pressing the power button just restarts the phone as mentioned above and takes me to the HTC screen. Not sure how can I get to the bootloader. Desperately looking for help....
ANybody can help me . i have a HD2 When tried to FLASH to any RADIO from 2.07 to 2.15 all failed at 96%. I have made a TASK29 also it fails at 96%. NOW cant install anything on it !
At first 2.15 flashed and after i made task29 it stop to install. Then i used 2.07 it flash, but again i used TASK29 and now when i retry to reinstall any RADIO, it fails at 96%.
Am using tasks29 because my HD2 is stuck in LOGO HTC. So am trying many ROM file for it to WORK but in VAIN !! I still can enter BOOTLOADER. Manage to install MAGLDR and WIN7 but never the phone was OK!
I was wondering if its a HARDWARE problem?
It usually takes a long time at 96%. Try leaving it for a while and see if it will complete. Mine took some time at 95%

Yep, mine hangs at 96% too. Maybe try this Task29 with Radio (check it's the right radio though)...

If you can get into BL dont worry you'll be able to flash. Just try everything again and give loader a moment.
Ok. I waited almost 30Mins ! is that ENOUGH?
But i Found that If i flash with this ROM (that has RADIO in it) - " Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21907.5.0.93_1.80_ML_V4_Ship_EN " flash succESSfully but still i have the PROblEM of STUCK on HTC logo !
Again failed at 96%
Hello,
has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
I am having the same issue - radio and rom flash fails at 96%, I have tried even older radios and different roms with radio. Tried with HSPL 3.03 and 2.08.
When flashing from USB it always stops at 96% at hangs for 15mins then says fail.
If flashing from SD card then it just hangs indefinetely.
only the Duttys_Leo_Sense finishes flashes but the phone wont boot
Download this, flash it and and start from scratch. something went wrong along the way..but start from scratch and go again.
If you have trouble once you download. restart the phone holding the the power and volume down buttons. and you will get into bootloader..then connect phone and wait until it says usb and flash.

I have not looked to see if it is for the US or EU HD2. But seeing as you have a EU HD2 you have nothing to fear really as the EU can be flashed with any radio version with no bad effects. But the US HD2 can not be flashed with any radio version with a 51 in it or it will be hard bricked. The 51 radio versions were the first radio versions for the EU HD2.
also, try chillign teh phone for twenty mins in teh freezer, then quickly reinsert the sd and try to flash. It may help you get past the last few %
Unfortunately it didnt end well
HTC HD ROM update from USB stalled at 8% for more than 30mins.
Then I tried updating it from SD card when it failed instantly reverting to factory SPL.
And then I tried to use HSPL4 to put: SPL-208 instead of HSPL208. Phone said cracked it and after that it died.
Its completely bricked now, cannot turn it on - no key lights, no lcd
odd, these devices are very difficult to brick since if you mess up, just go into bootloader mode and reflash.

ahhh if only it was that simple. Check out the title of this thread, what you're suggesting is exactly what is failing. Look around, teh forum is stuffed full of this type of error. Sometimes it is solvable, sometimes not.
Hello, sorry for saying this but there is no solution to fix that. I had the same problem on friends HD2. It died with no reason, just rebooted. All you wrote is the same there, if you use newer radio stuck on 96%, older stuck in 97%. HSPL working ok, leoimg.nbh stuck on 8% and you getting ROM Update fail all times. That is hardware issuse and Radio ROM chip is damaged. We did not found any solution to fix that and even tryed xtc clip and all methods of instalation...
can u try flash HSPL first then the radio and then MGLDR...my problem is solve..
Hi.
I bought Hd2 yesterday, and I have a biiiig problem with it. It started perfectly - but after 5 min it shut down. It shows message about low battery, so I connected it into charger, orange led turned on. I tried to switch telephone on, but it freezes on white screen with HTC written. I tried soft-resets and hard-resets, even tried to install official rom - but installer is always freezing at 8%. I can get into BootLoader and phone is recognized by the PC after connecting USB cable. But this is all - i can't switch phone on, I can't install ROM...
What is wrong? Is it gonna work, or maybe it is totally bricked?
Radio flash stuck @ 96%
This seems to be the kiss of death for an HD2. I also have the same symptoms: stuck at 96% when trying to flash a radio. I have a US HD2 and I've flashed about 10 of these phones with no issues. This is the first one I've ever seen with this issue though. It was a friends phone that he wanted me to assemble. He gave it to me in pieces. When I assembled it, it wouldn't boot. So I flashed the stock ROM, but the flash won't complete. Fails at 8% or 11%. Tried flashing HSPL and it seems to work. But when trying to flash the radio it fails at 96% (it just hangs).
I was wondering if it has bad sectors on the partition or someting and if a J-tag service could fix this. Theoretically, it's supposed to be fixable if you can get into the bootloader. Oh well, into the junk box this HD2 motherboard goes until someone posts a fix.
I got the same problem can't not flash anything, and alway stucked at 96%.
Only thing I did to get it complete flashing radio, rom was put the phone in zip lock, and put in freezer for 10mins, took it out and plug in battery and flashing, at anytime, if the phone vibrating it will not accepting any data in, and it will stop at 96% and then i have to put in freezer again. Took me awhile to get everything boot up and got in windows 7 and play with it. But... the phone still rebooting it self, sometimes it will reboot after 5 mins or an hr when I am surfing webs or setting up the phone... Right now I am trying to get a different sim card to test out.
Seem more like hardware problem.
My problem is solved - I've got new motherboard....
NAND Toolkit
Have you guys tried to use NAND Toolkit?! it works fine for me, and never had issues flashing my HD2...
