Stuck on HTC Logo Screen

I just tried to flash a new ROM by putting it on SD CARD...
i pressed my volume up key and power button for 3 seconds and now my phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen...
it did even go in the HSPL screen
whatever i do it reboots and gets stuck to that screen...
pressing the red button at the back made no difference
what can i do ?

I have the same problem. The phone is stuck on HTC logo screen and is not seen by the computer so I cannot reflash. Any idea what can be done???? Mine got stuck after I installed task 29

(1) Take out the battery / Unplug the phone
(2) Put the battery back in
(3) Turn it on and keep only Vol Down pressed
You should get a tri-color screen. Connect USB. Once it says USB at bottom, you are good to go with flashing.

hard reset

these solutions don't work. I had the same problem. Anyone has an idea?

any ideas about that? anyone found the solution?

put phone into bootloader requires you to press volume DOWN while power resetting the phone. Make sure the ROM is named LEOIMG.nbh and is on the root of the sd card. Make sure the sd card is 8gb or smaller unless it is a class6.

you need to put your phone back into bootloader, volume down while powering on the phone. then after you see the tricolored screen, connect it to the usb.

That's weird, maybe they didn't make a 3.14 ROM for your region.

white HTC boot screen after ANDROID -> no reaction whatsoever

Hi XDA Devs,
I've managed to break my HD2.
I was in ANDROID and shut down the phone over A. since then:
It's stuck on the white boot screen with the HTC logo (without any numbers in the left low corner).
No usb connection, no further sign of hope.
Hard reset, battery out -> nothing seems to help.
Do you got an idea how to get my HD2 working?
Thank you in advance!
Max
HD2 was running on:
2.10 radio (Vodafone Germany)
Artemis 24

Get into the bootloader mode ! do a task 29 format ..once it is completed again get into the bootloader mode and then flash the rom u were using ! cheers

I've managed to get into the bootloader mode and perform task 29.
Right now I'm tryin to upload artemis 24 to my phone but its either stuck at 0% or somewhere between 35%-60%. never came further than that AND it always takes awefully long!
EDIT: now its always 0%. I'm flashing with SSPL_RUU.exe
Do you got an idea how I'm able to fix that?
Thanks

ok ..do one thing ..enter bootloader ..perform task 29 again ...then again bootloader ...change ur radio to 2.07.50. ...u will find this radio in the energy rom thread ..once u have flashed the radio ...enter bootloader again and flash the latest energy rom .:. forget abt the artemis rom for now ..do this and then tell me

yeah! thx, everything went just fine.
I get the feeling something was wrong about Artemis rom.
thanks very much!

Thats awesome ! ..good ! always use energy roms they are much more stable and much better and perfect in itself ,artemis is just like the stock rom and has its own benifits ! welcome anytime ! cheers

My HTC HD2 is not reacting when i touch the screen!!
Hi.... I have an HTC HD2... i have 3 months since i bought it... ever since the phone was working awsome... but like 3 weeks ago the phone started working really slow.. so i decided to do a factory reset to solve the problem... after the phone was rebooted it worked about 10 min perfectly fine.. then it locked as it usually dose (when its not in use).. but when i tried to unlock the phone,the screen was not reacting.. the problem is NOT that the screen dose not display.. the problem is that when i pass my finger throgh the screen to unlock,it dosnt work.. its like freezing... i tried to upgrade the ROM but it still gives me the same problem!!!
Is there a way i can fix this problem??? if there is i would really apreciate youre help!!! Thanks...

Phone Bricked - Need advise/review

Hi, I have flashed several ROMs, anyway today I got an HD2 from a friend who said his HD2 that he just bought kept restarting, so I thought I could try couple things to help him out.
1) I placed HSLP 2.08 on the Tmobile USA HD2
2) Then I proceeded to install and run TASK 29 from the HD2 forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) using ShaDrac repack by using the youtube video
3) I proceeded to install Energy 21916 from HD2 USA Rom Development
4) Now, it froze on the Energize screen, one the first boot, for about 15 minutes, so I thought maybe it does not have a radio
5) Downloaded Radio Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26 and when to the BootLoader screen to install
6) At bout 98% a message showed up and the phone rebooted stating Software Update failed! Please try again! Something similar showed up on the PC.
I would appreciate it if someone would advise further. At this point I am going to try the MTTY process from the forum "Possible sollution to unbrick TMOUS HD2/EU HD2"
Thanks

4) Now, it froze on the boot screen for about 15 minutes, so I thought maybe it does not have a radio

Did it freeze while the progress bar was on the screen or while the bootloader was on the screen?
And does the bootloader show 2.08.hspl or 2.08.0000?

Try to flash original ROM from T-mobile and try , if not try to flash from the memory card

and any bright ideas if it doesn't go into bootloader mode? appreciate ur suggestions!

It froze after the progress screen, like when it suppose to load the rom for the first time. After I did task 29 again, I put the original T-mobile Rom RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15 .29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip via the memory card. This converted my SPL to 2.00.1000, which is what I have now.

It goes into Bootloader but gives the Rom error.
"Just to confirm can I take it to a T-Mobile store and ask them to replace it telling I was trying to update the official rom, and it froze on me.
Given that it gets stuck on Triangle with an Exclamation point, when I turn it on, it does NOT show the T-Mobile boot screen logo, probably task 29 took that away not sure."

I just spoke with a store rep, he said to call T-mobile smart phone tech support. Tech support says, they can't do anything if I am not the original owner of the phone.
In addition, he told me that the Triangle with the exclamation point, is something from Android, not Windows. He has never seen or heard anything like that for HD2.
Asked me to call HTC and ask them to replace it.

U never call T-Mobile, especially with a hacked SPL, no way they would do anything, but if they ever did, u would be screwed

my htc hd2 is STUCK.. HELP ME PLS

I bought an HTC HD2 FEW WEEKS BACK FROM ONE OF MY FRIEND.
I DO NOT HAVE THE HISTORY OF WHAT HE TRIED TO DO WITH IT.
BUT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK/DEAD , HE GAVE TO ME FOR CHEAP.
NOW THIS PHONE IS UNDER WARRANTY TILL AUG-2012 AND IS FROM VODAFONE.
(EVEN AFTER INSTALLING ANDROID IT IS VOID)
HE MUST HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ROM/HSPL TO GET TO THIS POINT.
PROBLEM:
When I power up the phone, it displays a NRG LOGO SCREEN (energize software), and it gets stuck on it forever.
When I do hold the volume down + power button, then it comes up with the three colour screen and it says SPL-2.08.0000, AND also says rom update failed (only if i try to install and then start up)
The phone does connect through USB when it is on the three colour screen, but it does not let me install ANY OF THE romS or the spl'S...
I have tried literally every single step possible. I have tried to do task 29, i have tried install the original rom, i have tried to put the rom in the sd card and try it that way.. I have also tried to do hard reset... vol up and down and it does not complete either..
I best rom it let me install was 99% of 2.10.50.19.2.. but after 99% it got stuck .. it seems like it gets stuck within 1 min or so.. anything you do!
Some times after several hundred attempts, it does let me change the spl... as it was displaying 3.... before then i changed to 1.4..... and then to 2.08...
All i want to do is to get rid of the NRG SCREEN, so i could send to the htc ,, for repair ( i know that it is not under warranty if i used andriod, but they will not know) .. or is there any way to completely format the phone,,, is there any solution to install andriod or microsoft? pls help

Before we start, you can ask him how his device has ended up like this, can't you?

Because you have stock SPL, you won't be able to install any custom ROM or any stock ROM not made for your region/SN.

AFAIK, task29 is, also to be considered, a custom rom so it needs HSPL to be flashed. Are you sure you have followed the steps correctly?

That is not a ROM, it's a radio. You need to flash HSPL to be able to change the splash screen (NRG Screen). HSPL should go like this: SPL 2.08.HSPL .

Microsoft is a corporation, Windows Phone is the OS .
One more thing, to be able to flash a LEOIMG from sd, the .nbh must be a rom that is compatible with your device (It will work if you get it from htc.com using the device's serial number)
I hope this helps. And I'm sorry if I am incorrect at something.
Good luck.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To summarize it, you need to do either one of the following:
1- Install HSPL, and do what you want.
2- Go to HTC.com, download a rom using your Serial Number, rename file to .zip, extract the .nbh file, rename to LEOIMG.NBH [Capital letters], put onto sd card and insert into phone, boot up device while holding volume down ONLY, and make sure splash is removed and you're back to the "htc" stock, then send to repair [why?].

posting teh same post in multiple sub forums is considered rude
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440265

Yeah, HSPL is needed for flashing pretty much everything. One thing you could do would be to flash a stock ROM from your SD card (just google it I CBA to provide links and stuff) which would reset everything to factory WinMo (including SPL to SPL3.03 [assuming you flash the latest ROM 3.14]) and from here it would basically be a fresh start. Probably the safest route without HSPL

Hi.
Thank you for your replies...
Let me tell u guys if I forgot to say earlier. The mobile phone is not letting flash any of the Hspl... be q series, 2 series or 3.series... all the times it says error 0000006 and 000000010 etc... a couple out of hundreds it did let flash but then it doesn't let me flash the factory rom fom HTC.

I have succesfuly flashed the 3.03 hspl... bit still no success in flashing any roms ... it gets stuck sometimes at 99% and sometimes at 0% and sometimes it comes up with a scrambled screen and stuck

OK,
My final.outcome.
This phone let's me flash the hspl but it doesn't let me flush any roms including the original HTC factory rom.
I can also perform the task 29. Etc but still the NRG screen is still there.
I would like to know that if I flash the original Split and send it HTC, will be repairable for free? Sure? Even with the NRG.

now i think the only option available to you is jtagging the device which may permanently void the warranty !!
it had happened with me once, but somehow it got solved !
i used to randomly install clk, magldr, radios, hspl etc multiple times !
it used to get stuck while installing and then i used to remove the battery and try again !!
somehow it started ! !!
STRANGE DEVICE !!

Yeap its a real problem!!
Now , It will not let me change the hspl to spl whatsoever I do.
I would like your suggestions
I bought this brick for £50 and I can return it to get my money back. Has any used jtagging and does it 100% work?. The thing is if I do used jtagging, and if it doesn't work ,then I can,t return it!. How much does it cost and is it worth it?

jtagging will solve your problem !!
they remove the motherboard of the device and flash the os into the motherboard directly through a device named riff box !!
refer this video for more info !!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zElsUERTzOU
but pls do not try this at home ! !!
just contact a local repair shop to jtag your device !!
also u can contact these guys from the video !!
good luck ! !!

Check that the micro USB connection isn't "wobbly".
I had a TMOUS HD2 and never had any issues. Then, I sold it and got a Telstra HD2 and had big issues getting ROMs installed until I realized that the connection at the phone was a little weak. I can't send any updates to WP7 via cab sender unless the phone is in a certain position to keep the connection from breaking.

Don't worry ... you can give the life to your phone back... it shows fail bcus u have 2.08.0000.. so it means u Sud have 2.08 v hspl.. so try flashing hspl by getting into bootloader(3 colour) by pressing volume down + power Then flash hspl.. but remember select 2.08v.. then again after flashing hold volume down + power.. bootlooder.. then flash magdlr 1.13 ... now the phone will boot into a black screen with written mangdlr.. wen the black screen magdlr screen comes then press power off for 5mintzz.. follow the guide to flash.. there is a stick thread in NAND DEVELOP... U can get the windows version back to your phone to get the warranty...

Ok ,, some good new at last ..
I have used the HSPL4 to change my 3.03hspl to 3.030000 spl...
Success, as when i go to the tri colour screen it says spl and no hint of hspl...
Bad news, is that i still cant get the rom flashing,, as it gets stuff at some point and mostly at 99%.. Have tried both ways through SD (leoimg) and through USB.
Now final question is ... When i on the phone a big logo of NRG (ENERGIZE) writtten comes up and it gets stuck there.. the phone has SPL .. so it still under warranty to return it?.. I still have all the void sticker intact.

did you try to flash just a splashscreen as i suggested in your other thread? (they can be flashed alone, no need for a whole rom, , just like radios)
if you can get a stock splashscreen on there you are sorted.

Maybe try to download the original Software from HTC.
With you serial number you can get the latest windows for this phone.
Flash the Software you get from HTC.
If this is working ok you can try to install any Android ROM.
Read at first this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905841
Try to understand and follow the steps..
But if you have even no luck with original Windows soft. You will also (maybe) have a lot of probs. with Android..

Thank you guys for all your help..
I have flashed andriod on several phones some time ago and I actually forgot the right steps to follow.
But this phone is unique is not letting me finish.
After following all the right steps, i wasnt able to install a rom succesfully even after installing the HSPL... and I am also not able to install the factory rom from htc on either the hspl or spl settings.
But i now got rid of the NRG screen and I have also installed the spl 3.03.. When you on the phone, it displays software upgrade failed..
So I have now sent the mobile to HTC as it is under warranty. I will then re-flash andriod following the right steps and see what happens!
Thanks again!

My mobile came back from HTC with a week.. Looks like a brand new one!
In the letter it says the replaced IMEI, PCBA, FL BD, W/O_ REGIONAL_ID, LEO
WOW
GREAT PHONE... ITS MUCH FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE FOR SOME REASONS

[Q] Recover Fail - No boot White screen

Hello, and sorry for the post asking for assistance!
been driving me nuts for 2 days now, it seems i'm having a major case of melting HD2
it started with the phone freezing often, reboot solved it.
then, it went to having to unplug battery for a few, and, reboot fixed it.
now i'm at a constant white screen (no htc logo)
was running in Android but tryign to just get anything working for now.
i made the sd card leoimg.nbh with a custom rom to recover it, but i can't get it to finish
in red : Radio_V2 Fail
in blue : all the rest
tried to flash radio update, failed
tried to update the HSPL version (2.8one now) but no go, it shows "success" but in bootloader shows the same old version.
what can be the cause of this, exept memory nand being screwed?

CPU and its BGA balls!

Not alot to be done i think...
Keeps coming up on white screen.
Tries to flash HSPL (newer version) finishes but it still shows the same version when powering +volume MIN.
Tried to flash a Radio, comes up with an error Radio V2 error
Tried to push a ROM on there, gives a "image file is corrupted"
Tried what i found here on the different forum threads but....seems my HD2 gave up on me...or at least it's beyond my repair skills.
Thanks for those before me who gave suggestions on what to try, it's a damn sad day i loved that phone..
wts : one slightly bricked phone

Try to do a Task29. Use the HD2 Toolkit for that.

You have to JTAG it in order to recover it. RADIO_V2 means it's radio, and it's officially bricked. There's nothing you can do other than JTAG to recover it

Well, in a way i'm glad i have the answer now about the V2 being the radio ...
Thanks for the input guys, not sure i'm going to bother with the JTAG story, already ordered a replacement for my HD2 as it is, can't spend too much time without my phone.
Anyone knows if people are interested for the "bricked" HD2's? or how to reach people?
