Stick together screen stuck!

Hi,
I bought HTC HD2 TMOBILE from ebay and got it delivered yesterday. When i checked the phone it was working fine and it was a locked piece. Today morning i got the unlock code and the phone started working fine. I was just going through the features and checked the setting and stuff. Suddenly in 15-20 mins the phone restarted itself to the white pink screen of stick together. I thought its normal and gave it like 10-15mins to boot. Nothing happened. Had to take off the battery and tried booting it n still no response. I did a hard reset. Still the white n pink screen forced me to see the lame stick together msg. after a few resets the phones booted up and gave me the windows first time usage screen. I set it up and then bam! again it restarted to the stick together screen. i noticed tht it doesnt even shows the rom etc etc info on tht screen like it used to the first time.
Steps i have already tried...and none worked
1) hard reset
2) soft reset
3) reset with no sim mem card
4) flash tmobile latest rom from their own website ( tht screwed things even more as update failed at 8% and then the stick together screen disappeared and SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED screen poped up )
5) Tried the HSPL3 to changed it to 2.08 HSPL ( tht got the stick together screen and nothing else )
6) flashed custom rom ( after multiple attempts it allowed me to complete update and after successful update the stick together screen appeared )
7) now i have reverted back to 2.08 thru hspl3. got back the stick together screen.
What can be done and why did this happen when i was just checking the settings?
IMPORTANTLY how can i fix this...

Check the battery contacts. My friend had a similar thing where only the wirth boot screen showed and it ended up being the battery contacts.

This is a very common occurence on this phone...the little gold pins get bent easily and the constant rebooting is one of the main symptoms when that happens.

hmmmmmmmmmm i will try tht now... was keeping myself away from it as it has already eaten up half of my only holiday in this week...

you are a genius
my girlfriend thought she bricked her phone cuz it was stuck on the stick together screen......see was about to try to flash thr original stock rom when i happened upon this post and it saved us alot of time ......so i just want to say thank you so much

[Q] htc hd2 infinite boot looping failed installing roms, error code during task29.

ive been a member of xda for a while and i know someones going to get pissed about me posting this, i have a serious problem. it all started when i flashed nand to my device. it worked for me for a day or two then it shut off. it wouldn't charge for like a week and then it magically started to charge again. i go to turn it on and i get a boot loop. i then flash a new rom, same problem, i flash another through the sd. i get an error. i try task29. while flashing that i get an error. i tried task29 on other computers of all versions of windows, same error.i tried task 29 through sd, nothing. now the phone is sitting in its box on my desk on a software update failed triang screen of failure. i searched the forums and it wasnt much help. anybody have any suggestions?

Pull the battery, and then put it back in.. hold the volume up and down (yes I know that's ridiculous lol) volume rockers then it should take you through the factory restore process

There are so many vdos available on youtube ..... search one which has more LIKE's

Also, check the 3 battery pins on the device. I had similar issues with bootloops and errors while attempting to flash, which turned out to be happening because the middle battery pin had slightly bent and was all good after carefully (be gentle) straightening the pin.
Guess all the battery pulling during flashes causes stress on the pins...Whenever possible hit the little reset button as oposed to pulling the battery to avoid damaging said pins.

i have tried this and as its restoring it freezes and it doesnt go past like 30 percent.

ill try the battery thing. ill post the results.

So I tried the pin thing and it started to flash but then it froze around 80 percent

Same problem here.
Same as you, it started when I flashed Nandroid.
And after googling some posts, I found one of my battery pins was bent so I fix it.
But, in my opinion, once you got stuck on that problem, there's nothing to do at this moment.
Someone called it "Radio-brick"..
What should we do next....?
Hope someone solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

On this post, you can see the pictures which shows what's going on our HD2.

[Q] [HELP] Cannot enter bootloader, can still boot android

So, I cannot seem to get into bootloader on an HD2. This isn't my phone and I did not perform the original flash, so I'm not quite as familiar with the HD2 toolchain.
The problem is simple, I cannot load into the tri color bootloader. I haven't ever been able to, so I don't have anything to trace to what apparently removed it.
I still can however use MAGLDR to boot android from NAND and flash android roms etc.
The trouble is this phone needs to be shipped to HTC for repair and I need to restore to stock, but I cannot reach boot loader to use any tools or flash any stock roms etc. I saw something on the JTAG restore product but I thought wasn't ideal if still under warranty.
Pretty desperate here since the warranty period ends real soon. thanks for any help!

Just to make sure....In order to reach the boot loader screen, you need to turn off the phone and then hold the volume down button and power button until the boot loader screen pops up. Just making sure you did this!

yeah, been trying that to no avail
Can still get to MAGDLR real easy though.
thanks

Out of curiosity, are any of your buttons not working?

most are working just fine. Only weird this is the red hang up\power button brings up the shut down menu on a single press from time to time once inside android. I believe it to be caused the original issue (random boot lock ups that take anywhere from 2 min to boot android or 25 min, or doesn't at all before battery dies) but this phone has been so flaky its been impossible at times to reproduce results.

Thanks for the response, I'm not to familiar with the hd2 tools/commands is this likely to help with the power button issue or the "missing" bootloader? Sorry for not googling but have limited connection atm so barley got this message out

HI,
My reply was not relevant.
Sorry I could not help.

If I am reading right this sounds like a similar issue which I had. I went from my car which had really cold A/C and then went to my room which was really hot. There was condensation on the phone and did not think much of it. My buttons started either acting strange or not working. First I tried putting the phone in some rice as rice tends to attract water molecules. This did not work. I then sprayed windex with the phone off and batter, sdcard, simcard out and then wiped down the phone put it in the rice for about an hour or 2. After I did this a few times my buttons started working normal again. No more safe mode and all my buttons work.
Either that or your volume down button is just not working. In which case I don't believe there is any other way to enter the bootloader. If you can connect through microsoft activesync you may be able to restore the original windows 6.5 that way.

Only thing is the vol down button works fine once boot in android. Power button is only weird one and its only acting up depending on the moon phase apparently.

Ok so I was searching for some links on using active sync to flash but any guide I find also is using HSPL to do the flash which is not apparently present on the device. Would you happen to have any links on performing a flash via active sync that doesn't involve any sort of SPL?
Thanks a bunch

HSPL is what is used to flash any rom that is not an original from tmobile. SPL is the original that would have come onto the phone and locks the phone from installing any roms except tmobile. With the hspl program you need to be able to boot into boot loader. I have tried windows mobile device center which is what is used in windows 7 instead of active sync but it does not connect. I am afraid that you are stuck unless you can get into boot loader somehow. The only way I know is to hold the volume down button as soon as you power the phone on.

I'm sending mine back to HTC

FINALLY!
All I did was...wait. I took the battery out for a couple hours, and tried again and bam it came up! I tried for like two days before this. I then followed the standard LEOIMG.nbh to the sd card and it restored win mobile and SPL just fine.
I guess it sounds crazy but just take the battery out for a while or overnight perhaps. I really didn't do anything so that's all I have to offer.
I think this HD2 has an overheating issue or something because it starts to act up once on after a while (power button...boot problems as described above).

[Q] bricked phone but can access download mode

1) It started black screen when I was upgrading to Mango with Zune.
When restart phone and the phone could not boot up ,just into black screen.
2)The phone can enter into Download Mode(Vol up + Camera + Power).
Even I tried to flash I8700XENJK1 with Downloader 7.03, everything looks good , processing bar, success message. The only things was when finished flashing, the phone restarted and booted up into black screen and nothing could be done then.(Downloader 7.14 also tried)
3)trying Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe which runs well and no error but when came to restart phone, it still went into black screen.
4)In the black screen, I can not access Download Mode except putting out of the battery and put in again which probably means power is on in black screen.
I am not sure which problem causes this, Flash, CPU or other things. Please help me out of these troubles.Thanks.

How long did you leave it out of interest?
Mine sat at a black screen when rebooting for a good 5 minutes or so...

I think when I used the Downloader 7.03 tools, there was a message of waiting for several minutes after flashing.
Beside I wait more than 10 minutes, and nothing changed.
Thanks anyway

Sorry dude, hope you get it sorted though!

Hoping for someone can help me.

When I went RTM from NoDo, I got a black screen that seriously was there for like half an hour..I put it down to my laptop being like 7 years old and nearly dead, and just left it alone, done nothing else on it and it eventually finished the update.
When I flashed on my mates computer back to NoDo, it was the quikest thing I had ever seen - updated back to mango and the black screen was there for like a minute.
The problem is, when you pulled it the first time, you really should have left it, I would have for at least an hour. I hope you haven't completely bricked your phone

First, thanks for sharing your update experience.
I have updated the phone several times without black screen once.So when black screen came out, I noticed there are something wrong.
Atfer this happen, I tried flash different version ROM, waiting for a long time.
Now I am hopefulless except some new flashing tools or new rom.

[Q] My hd2 has a problem that none of hd2's ever had

----this is the story part can be skippable----
Well i usually find the solution of my problems on internet but this time i think my hd2 came to an end.
I always thought i will make it brick while trying to update a rom but it happened this morning when i was at school
it has an issue, sometimes when i press the buttons it does not wake the screen up
that happened again and i thought its the same problem, i took the battery out and put the battery back in
----end of the story---
when i turn it on it stucked at white screen with htc logo. i waited and it didnt pass to magldr screen(i tried several times)
i put it in bootloader mode too and saw Serial is showing there
(Note: when my hd2 is in this 2 modes it looks like if i leave it like that it will go till its charge ends)
But when i connect it to computer, screen goes black (backlight still on)
And i am not allowed to do anything (neither task29 or installing magldr)
so i made a research, some says "if you think its a hardware problem put it in the freezer and try if it works when its cold"
i tried and only thing it made was making its screen go black with a cooler style
( i can upload a video of it and screencaps of issues both magldr and task29 gave )
and i should say there were no problem except "waking up the screen" before all of these happened
I am using NexusHD2 CM9 rom that i downloaded from android.hd2roms.com
2.08 HSPL and magldr 1.13
and last night when i pulled my adapter from plug i felt it was overheated
Please help and sorry for all grammar mistakes

nothing all that uncommon about that situation, there are lots of hd2's around the world in similar states, to greater or lesser degrees. There's a small chance that JTAGging it would bring it back, but i suspect not
