I want to brick my phone

Hi
This may sound like a weird request, but I want to brick my hd2. Currently it has Magldr 1.13 on it, but it wont go into the bootloader (tri color screen) no matter what. I have tried all the button variations (vlume down+power etc etc) but to no avail. So I want to know a way that I can brick my phone WITHIN magldr so it wont even turn on. That way, I can send it into tmobile for a replacement. Please help me without bashing, flaming, etc. Thanks!

Where you holding down the volume button while pressing the power button?

yes, I appreciate it, but Ive developed a few roms for the hd2 myself, it just wont go into bootloader mode ever since installing magldr 1.13....

Flash one of your roms, then.

...what is that supposed to mean? My roms cant be flashed through magldr. They are winmo 6.5 roms

Put your phone in the microwave

so if u have MAGLDR installed on your phone can u access USB Flasher ?
If yes you can install CWR or if u have allready can u install any ZIP ROMs ?

This happened to me and it was driving me crazy. You have a corrupted bootloader you need to keep trying to take the battery and hold volume down with power until you get the bootloader(i did it like 100 times at least)then you flash any windows rom(kumars did it for me) this will fix you bootloader. Also make sure the battery teeth are even.

i would of thought it was near impossible to brick a HD2,Your more likely to brick a normal android phone than this but just an idea,how about flashing an actual Desire HD rom(not port) itle have the wrong drivers so in theory it should bugger it up

Yes, but again I cant access bootloader to install the radio...

ur so ****ed.
what about task29

Connect your phone to your computer via usb flash drive, then run the custom ruu for a T-Mobile version winnow rom only, then flash the wrong radiio.
Edit: did not realize you need to be in boot loader to flash radio, forgot.
Flash a Leo512 only winmo rom. Or even leo512 only android rom if you can find one.

if you flash a radio ending .51 instead of .50 you will be bricked.

Yep!

The microwave thing (2 seconds) is the best way, I think. But then again, it might mess up warranty... Otherwise, I'd open the phone, but that'd void warranty also.

I have the same problem as you and am not sure how to stop it.... only thing i can do at the moment is run android off SD and hope a solution will present it self eventualy

If no other solution pops up I would just hard reset, perhaps with removing the SD card first. The removing of SD because it seems to be a way of backing up your data.
Not guaranteed though.

The phone is not rooted. This is what happened that got me t this point. I was trying to download angry birds and the phone just cut its self off (maybe because to had to many apps running) then i just decided to take out the battery and let it sit, so i did and i cut it back on then it worked i let it sit and update everything like android does when you cut it on then the phone cut it self off again on im stuck at the splash screen. :'(

Try doing a factory reset on the phone. Get into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and then holding down the power button simultaneously. Use the volume up/down button to highlight factory reset, then to select press the power button

I did it and 3 android dudes with skate boards are on the screen for like 3 hours no exactution

Which version of the stock rom are you using. Is it 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 ?
If you can't get the factory reset, I will give the stock rom . Do update using hboot.

were you running 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 when it happened?
or
can you tell us the hBoot version you have
it will be loacated at the top of that screen with listed some like .xx.yyyy
If this happen post the update i would exchange it under warranty as you might have a bad eMMC chip and something failed in the writing process.

I'm running HBOOT-0.86.0000, When it happened i was running stock because it hasnt been updated sence i had the phone. My factory reset wont proceed with the prgress bars t-moblie i should have.

he didn't update it to 2.3.4.
corrupt file system maybe, but doesn't seem likely. sounds more like an eMMC failure to me.

Is eMMc software or hardware?

eMMC is a chip that stores information, a chip that you can write to.

Well lets hope that's not the case. How cam I get a copies of the stock Rom and try to install it?

Given you are on the .85 or .86 hBoot.
Download THIS FILE . leave it zipped up, and store it on the root of your SDcard.
power down the phone, pull the battery if needed. Then power on the phone holding down the power button and the volume down rocker. Once it boot select "bootloader". It will scan the SdCard for the file then prompt you to update the file.

But when I start up the phone and enter the prompte screen it scans the SD card automatically is that suppose to happen?

yes. if SDcard is in the device bootloader will automatically scan for the PD151IMG.zip file.

Broken NAND + SD Android. Possible?

Hallo everyone,
My Leo's NAND is broken. The device may still Boot 1 time from 10. Otherwise it vibrates 7 times when HTC Logo appears whithout booting further. My thought was, to run SD Android. If it gets to Boot to the Rom, I could try to run Android from SD. Will it work on the SD completely, or do SD Versions need NAND while working anyway? Thanks a lot for all the replies!!!!

The android roms booting from the SD card will require the internal memory to run. For system functions. So i guess the sd card roms will also run 1 out 10 times :crying:

Oh crap, it sounds bad.... Thanks a lot anyway. ;(

How do you know your nand is broken?
If it is it may not be totally broken, it may just have a few bad blocks!
Try increasing your partition size before you throw it away?

Its booting 1 out of 10 times. I think there is some problem. If there were bootloops then we could consider bad blocks

A guy from service told me, that the nand is dead...
I'll try to increase the partition size. It was booting from time to time, maybe it will live for another view months. Thanks for the advice.!!!

Can't upgrade from 2.2

[Resolved]
Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.

no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.

Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.

@Moihack maybe you have any ideas? You've written this to me before:

As long as your phone still gets power and pink/blue screen shows there is nothing to be afraid of yet,since this isn't a hardbrick.
Contact me on hangouts telling me what you have done resulting in the above issue.
I have bricked my u8800pro in every possible way both soft and hard brick (thank god warranty was still active back then).

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.

[Edit] Finally I've managed to upgrade to GB , had to put both step 1 and step 2 in the same dload folder and it worked. So cheers for the tips

You've put all steps in one folder?
