Hey everyone, my hd2 died (original 1.48 rom), I already tried soft reset, hard reset, put out my battery, charge it and everyhting that came to my mind but when i turn it on it wont go further than the first htc image.
Is there anything i cant do or should i just take it back to the shop?
Thanks
I would take it back, even if you do fix it. You don't want a phone that may still have a underlying problem.
Htc HD2 BRICK Need HELP!!!!!!!

I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
I used HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe i flashed like 5 roms within 24hrs i was trying them out and this one made killed my hd2.
for those stuck on the htc boot image
take off the back cover of the phone and press the little red button, this will restart the phone
AS SOON AS you press it, press and hold the volume down button this will bring you to the bootloader
connect the phone via usb to your computer and flash a different radio rom (look first which are compatible with your rom)
if this doesnt work, using the same method flash back to your original rom.

for tmous with 1gb rom NEVER flash a radio with .51. in the code.
still haven't seen anyone recover from this. if anyone has please let me know.
Damn it captain!!!!!!
I just got it on the 24th shhhhhhhh....... ummm i just will take it to TMOBILE i hope i can get an other one, they may not have one in stock or they WONT give me another. i will see as soon as the store opens.
Sorry to hear about people's problems. Just remember if you have TMobile
USA there is NOT a way to flash another rom onto the phone..Just give it time the wonderful folks here are working on it. If your still in your 14 day grace period just return the phone to the store and play dumb. You might
have to wait for another phone since apparently they did not anticipate
how many people wanted this phone and sold out quickly. I know I was there
at 6:30 and the second in line and they only had 5!
Anyway, the most important thing you can do here is DO a search!
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)

sorry? sure about that? seems to me lots of people have successfully flashed their tmous hd2.
It only goes wrong if you
1 - flash a rom based on anything less than 2.10 rom
or
2 - flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number.

When I take it back do you think tmobile can they tell if i flashed a rom?

possibly, however its worth a try, there are other people that have reported they got it exchanged. the worst theu can do is send you it back un fixed. They can't keep it and make you pay for the fix.

I went to tmobile last friday they tried to turn it on, pushing reset and taking out the battery so they put me on a list for this coming wed. I still got the bricked one with me they told me to bring it in for a trade. i have tried everything to turn it on but the screen remains BLACK. so i got a BLACK BRICK!!!
Any more ideas?

I do not see a little red button under the back cover. I am in the US, just bought phone, slightly used of course, no warranty. It suddenly went dead this afternoon while charging, will sometimes try to power up but will just keep flashing that one screen "stick together" over and over.....
Tried another battery, same thing.

Mine is doing the same thing . . . in the US, the reset button is right next to the SD card slot, and it's yellow. Mine wouldn't come on Friday, and I started a web chat with Tmobile to see if they would exchange it, and then it just came back on. They said as long as the white sticker at the top of the battery compartment is still white (proving you didn't get it wet), then they will exchange it. It worked fine for me the rest of the weekend (AFTER I did a hard reset, and got it running great!!). This morning, I locked it while running MobiTV, then I couldn't unlock it, so I pulled the battery. That was 2 hours ago, and it still won't come on . . .
If it doesn't come on before I leave work, I'm taking it to Tmobile tonight!!
UPDATED 20 minutes later: Just came on . . . no rhyme or reason why?? Just started after MULTIPLE times of taking out and putting back battery, SIM, and SD card. Got the same error that I've been getting the last couple months on reboots (services.exe)?? When I did a CleanRAM, it free'd up 3.36MB . . . so SOMETHING was hung up, but nothing was running in the task manager??
Generally, few task managers show what's really going on with the phone's memory. Use an advanced task manager which will allow you to control the actual processes running on your device, Google for the names of those which seem to cause mischief and terminate them (if possible) or try to find a solution.

Hey I am also Tmobile User and I have flashed a few ROMS luckily I have not Bricked my phone (knock on wood.) I was just wondering how your return went? I have insurance on mine and figured I would just take it back if that happened. I just didn't know if that would work? Did you ever get a new one
Another update . . . used my phone all afternoon, and tried to charge it, and it wouldn't charge??? Luckily, my husband has the same phone, so I checked his with the same charger. Compared the two phones, and the prongs that hit the battery were bent back. I folded them back down, and now it can charge again. Makes me wonder if that is the problem with the phone not coming back on? Maybe putting the battery back in so that it wasn't hitting the prongs has been keeping it from turning back on . . .
Hi,
I have recently purchased my HD2 and its been a couple of months now since I'm utilizing it. Barely exploring my phone features, it hangs 20 times in view of the following encountered predicaments :-
1) Receiving 2 simultaneous SMS
2) Receiving an MMS
3) Pressing on any of the keys on the phone whenever receiving an SMS
Well, the list goes on and on. So, in resolving this issue, SIS (Malaysia) had agreed to change a new phone for me. And so they did. Tested it on the spot and everything was working fine, but just after a few days later, the problem reoccur itself again. This time, the entire phone hangs up. No keys can be activated, neither the phone can be turned on.
Firstly, its a brand new phone, so this kinda problem should not arise. Secondly, its no doubt troublesome to flip the back cover and press the tiny red button to perform a soft reset. Why in the darn first place the soft reset button isn't placed outside ? (just liky my old TYTN II)
So I have read a couple of forums with regards to this matter and came upon two conclusions in the end. One, the Manila.exe is the main culprit towards the hanging of the device and two, the HTC Sense application program has a flaw in between. Well, there's a temporary workaround though (that is if you do not want to flip the back cover over and over again), which is to leave the phone idle for 48 hours, let the battery drain itself off and then recharge back the phone again.
48 hours is a long time to wait though, and as a professional worker in my line of work, I really do not have that much of an ample time to linger around waiting for it to run out of juice. I'm totally very much dissapointed with the purchasement of the HTC HD2 as not only the technicians at the SIS (Malaysia) could not get to reproduce my predicaments, they cant even get to solve the hanging issue which I'd reckon, that's what I've been spending most of my time on my new phone (rather than to explore what is has to offer)
Is there a work around to the HTC Sense / Manila.exe problem ? Other suggestions would be to turn off the HTC Sense, but you know what ? Turning off the HTC Sense will be something like buying an Aston and driving it at 40kpmh all the way till the south of France !!! The phone's interface will be dull, and not to mentioned, it will be more a less pictured like my old TYTN II
I do not really have such problems for the HTC TYTN II though, not even one hang moment. Please XDA developers / experts, I'm indeed begging for a solution in resolving this reoccuring problem that somehow not only it will tarnish the brand HTC, it will also loose faith of the end consumers in the market.
why don't you ask SIS to change the phone again?
Just want to say one thing ... "Stock ROM's Suck" , hate to be that blunt but the stock ROMs they put on this beautiful hardware just seem to be time bombs, waiting to explode when you get them home ...
Should flash that sucker!!
To dan138zig
Well, that was my last resort to them, in order to solve it once and for all. I've been travelling to SIS to and fro for 4 times and yet the problem is still left unresolved. They've even tested it in their environment and it works fine (for the 1st two visits). But somehow, they manage to simulate the issue and they replaced the chipboard.
Now, replacing the chipboard was to the previous original phone, though even after the replacement, it still didnt solve the problem. So ding dong here and there, and after several "consultations" with their higher level managment, they agreed to change a new phone for me, off the hook (not undergoing formal procedures, whereby I'll have to wait for another two weeks)
So, getting a brand new phone I'd reckon my miseries will be resolved, but then the hanging problem reoccur itself today again. It seems that the HTC Sense is the main culprit though, after reading a few forums off the Net. And for a "premanent" solution (that is if HTC does not come out with any ROM / fixes / enchancements), I've gotta turn off the HTC Sense feature.
Well, buying a phone that cost 2K plus had already put a large damage in my wallet, now having to face this consequences after the purchasement is a real icing on the cake. What do you think ? If you're in my shoes, what would you do ?

I totally couldnt agree with you more. In my view, they should just have throw the Win OS away and put in the Andriod version of it. Its always windows version mobile phones that are giving the most headache to me when it comes to utilizing it.

Have you tried getting a new SIM? Sounds like the problem only happens when its talking to the network, and as you've had 2 handsets, i'd give a SIM change a go.
On the plus side........... at least you get 48hrs battery life.......
Not much use though if your phone doesnt work I suppose.....

Well, my SIM's working perfectly fine though, it does not give me any form of problem with my old TYTN II neither with other HTC devices I've checked with a few friends of mine. I do really suspect its the Sense that's the real culprit in the hanging of the device. Just really hope that they clear up this predicament with a new release of the ROM

haha, forty eight hours of baterry life ? well, I wouldn't bet on it. Have tried using it extensively and even before it reaches sunset, the battery is out. And guess what ? It's a brand new battery.
The phone's terrific, but sadly, the battery isnt. Its just like you are viewing a beautiful girl from bottom up till the next and the next thing you know it, viewing her face just makes you wanna vomit over and over again
So that's how I could sum up the HD2 as a whole. Most comparison commentators out there did place the HD2 side by side with the IPhone 3Gs. Both eventually also will end up running out of juice in 48 hours when you're performing your day to day call basis

The HTC Support and Releases still does not solve the problem, mate. Its something that HTC R&D as well as the QA team needs to sit down and extensively test the entire device from bottoms up till all forms of problem is resolved thereafter.

get start to give us some more information sir, witch rom/radio you gave install?
I have a very similar problem with my HD2. I do not know which radio is installed but it used to be and still is whatever came from the factory when I bought it from the T-Mobile USA. I used the NAND flash because i had issues with it. So let me first explain how i got here. The phone was good for a about a 6 month period of time and then the issues started. The issues were exactly the same with its stock WinMo as they are with Android so I really thin that it is the phone itself. The only question i have is, is there hope? Ok so it was bad and it would not boot or anything so I decided to put it in a ZipLock bag and put it in freezer. After taking it out and making sure that ZipLock get the condensation as opposed the device itself I started the NAND flash. I used HSPL3 and did that first (It used to be SPL-2.10.0000). Then I used the MAGLDR 1.11 and that worked too. then I used the DAF.exe NAND flash that was ported over from HTC Desire. So then I got stuck right after Rebooting message. So ALL was well but it would not reboot. I let it sit and then after no change in hours I pulled the battery. After that the phone would not start and Iput it back into freezer. After it got cold i started it just fineand Android was awesome. Up until the point where i went browsing through stuff on Android. Also note that I did go through "First time use" setup with no issues.Anyways, has anybody seen this behaviour on this phone and is there help? Thank you in advance.
Also to add. Every time the phone will not boot I can know ahead of time because it will have vibrations going off. So basically if I get vibrations (About eitgh of them in sequence) the phone will not start up. Yes, it was like this under WinMo as well.
Hi there, I am in a bit of a pickle and I do not know how to resolve the issue
I have recently been given an HTC HD2 by a family member. The phone is installed with WP7on the hard drive and Android on the SDcard.
Having used both systems for a couple of weeks neither of them are fit for purpose where the HD2 is concerned.
Android, albeit uses the correct phone buttons and is has the facility multiple settings, doesn't work the camera or video correctly and suffers from various elementary problems as it is not an OS native to the HD2.
WP7 won't sync to my computer and deletes emails from my server on deletion from the phone which gives me an even bigger problem. All in all, having read the WP6.5 users guide and many comments written about WP7 it would seem prudent to return to 6.5. A factory reset only returns me to WP7 so I don.t really know how to return the phone to its original state apart to send it back to HTC whoch will cost me lotts of dosh.
The computer will not see the phone through explorer and I do not have a reader to view and adjust the data on the mini sd card. I have read the advice given to others on the forum regarding this issue but I am afraid the terminology alone baffles me. I have dealt with computers for nearly 30 years but am totally unfamiliar with phone technology and how to configure the hardware.
Can someone please hold my hand and walk me through this minefield. This feels like my first meeting with 386 back in the 1970s. Give me an i5 to deal with any day.
Hope you guys can help..................Clive
Welcome to xda-developers,
First, you can run Android off your NAND using cLK (a bootloader) which makes your HD2 a "like" native Android device, you have to pick the perfect ROM of your choice. As for Windows Phone, you have to have Zune installed to sync your stuff, I also "assume" there is an option for not deleting e-mails from the server, only phone.
Second, reverting to Windows Mobile 6.5 is rather simple. if you want the stock ROM (the ROM that came with your device) just head over to htc, look for support and enter your serial number then download the ROM. After that turn off your phone then power it up while holding the volume down rocker. Then connect it through usb to your PC. Finally, Run the *.exe file you downloaded from htc.com . But if you want a custom Rom (preferred) then go here and pick your device (Tmobile or european), follow the instructions in the Rom you pick.
I hope this has helped and, please, enjoy your stay .
Additional Information:
After flashing, you need to change the format of your sd card's partion, because Windows Phone uses an unformatted partion for storing data, just switch that to FAT32 or NTFS and then format it.
And so it came to pass that Android and WP7 were cast aside and the old ways prevailed.
I would thank you from the bottom of my heart if I had one so instead I will simply say thank you.
It was the holding down of the rocker switch that did it. I had tried many times over 24 hours to get the phone to sync to the computer and was convinced that I never would achieve it.
Now I have a whole new phone to configure. Gone the clean minimalist look of WP7. Now I have settings and things to play with as I did in Android. The camera works in still and video settings and zooms as it should and all the buttons are in the right and proper order. I can see my file structure, cut and paste pretty well whatever I like with the aid of windows mobile device centre and have real menus on my email to sort out things from folder to folder. I formatted the 16 gig sd card and wiped away the last vestages of Android leaving me with a huge storage facility for pictures, I have at least 2 and music, I have an LP or 3. I know the human interface is a bit flashy and bright but I grew up in the 60s when everything was so, nothing wrong with a bit of bling.
The family member who very kindly gave me the HD2 said that WP6.5 was dead and suggested that I should only consider reinstalling it if I was going to sell the phone, instead It feels like someone has taken off the handcuffs and handed me a much more flexible bag of tools with which to organse my life. Maybe its a generational thing, I am over 60 and expect to be accorded choice.
I anticipate that I will find things on 6.5 which I don't like but as I have taken such a radical view of the advancing technology I will try not to bleat and cry about it and be content with what this system offers.
All I can do for now is thank you again, you have got me out of a real hole and I shall be an avid follower of this forum in the future as long as you don't tire of the naive questions I am likely to ask.
Kind regards to you all .............................Clive
Welcome to the forums, Clive!
Interesting, how views and taste can differ...
I purchased my HD2 with the express desire NOT to be on WM6.5. I found a perfect (in my view, of course) Android Nand ROM and could never be happier - everything works and perfectly well. In fact, I commented just last week how HTC were stupid not to go with Android as native OS for HD2 to begin with, seeing how flawlessly my toy works now as opposed to WM.
I am sorry to hear about your problems with Android and WP7, perhaps you might want to reconsider and give it another shot some time later? I'd recommend Android Nand, I feel WP7 still has some way to go.
I am not surprised by your comments about Android and if it had functioned correctly I would have been much more inclined to stay with that OS.
Whilst 6.5 gives me everything that I need and everything on the phone works I can see after using it for a couple of days now why many users moved away from it. Some of the screens are a little difficult to programme and the user interface is fiddly and over sensitive. All in all it is a bit outdated but on the up side everything works. I can't abide things that don't and neither WP7 or Andriod did, probably because of the way they were set up on the phone. Mind you, having just said that I am still of the mind that WP7 is absurdly cut back with little or no choice of settings.
I am advised that there a number of different Android ROMs and that if it a ROM of choice is installed to the NAND rather than the card then it will behave natively and the problems that I experienced with it dual booting from the SD card will not be present.
I must admit that my curiosity will probably get the better of me in due course and wild horses won't prevent me installing android on the NAND if only to see how it can operate when it is at its best.
I'm quite looking forward to that experience..........................Clive
hey, dont be fooled by the masses into thinking WM6.5 is any lesser OS than WP or android, its not, yeah it doesnt look as pretty, or run as smooth but the OS its self is a beast, it can do just about anything you throw at it and can be modified almost limitlessly, in most aspects apart from the UI its every bit as good as the newer OSs and in most cases better!
If i could dual boot WP and WM would be a very happy person and would happily pay someone to do it, as it is, i have two devices, one WP one WM
WM was great!!!
I agree, WM 6.5 was awesome! Believe or not I stuck with WM for 5 years on my beloved Blue Angel. From 2003 SE to 6.5.3. Actually, my last flashed rom was Helmi's build 2 years ago. I still have my Blue Angel. I passed up new phone after new phone until I finally decided to get an HD2. I love it just the same. WM has never given me any headaches or trouble since the last build on my Blue Angel and it now serves as my rock steady backup phone just in case my adventures on the HD2 goes awry. Shame about WM, but all good things come to an end. WP7 is a step back but its potential is sky high! Android is my filler until WP7 becomes ripe to eat with Mango! I too have a dual boot WP7 and Android. Love them both but WP7 is gonna be the one I'm looking forward to.

ive still got my old Alpine kicking around, the Himilayer passed away a year ago , sadly they never did get WM6 working on the alpine so i have an old Touch HD doing the business side of things now
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or somthing, i dont know how to use this site
just before last Christmas 2010, i bought a HTC HD2 off eBay for £200.
it comes with windows mobile 6.5 but like many other HD2 owners, i put an android on. Anyway, everything was working perfect, but last week i dropped my phone on a gravel path and all the screen cracked. Luckily, it was just the glass that cracked, and not the actual LCD...so the actual touch screen still worked as well as the rest of the phone.
i continued using my phone for a while, whilst the screen was cracked as the rest of the phone was working perfectly, then my mum found a repair company that will fix it for me online - htcphonerepairscouk
so i paid £70 for the new digitizer and screen and sent my phone off.
I got it back in the post about half an hour ago and every time i start android up it waits for about 20 seconds and it just restarts, and goes on forever no matter what. its nothing to do with the OS as i tried hard and soft reboots and trying a different rom. i called them yesterday and they told me that it was the motherboard that broke and it would cost more than the actual phone to repair the motherboard. they obviously messed it up when fitting the new screen as it was working perfectly with MIUI android before i sent it of (despite the cracked screen)
what do i do as its their fault my phone wont work now? it definitely worked before i sent it. and is there a way to fix it? thanks so much!
check teh battery pins carefully, especially teh middle one. they bend easily and cause rebooting part way through the boot sequence.
did u try booting while on the charger? that works for me sometimes when it restarts
Sadly it may well be linked to dropping it, if it was hard enough to crack the screen its hard emough to damage the board as well, I suspect its going to be expensive if you follow it through
Help phone restarting every couple seconds after installation of 2.3.7
hello i am unsure if i am in the right section to ask for help but considering i cant post anything yet i thought this section would be a great place.I recently put android 2.3.7 on my phone tytung...it reads under settings kernel version:[email protected]#130......build is gwk74(nexushd2-gingerbread v3.2a nand) It just recently started starting over and sometimes it cuts off and i have to push the power button for it to come back on other times it does a soft reset.I am out of options and i want to remove this android off of my phone.(if possible) Can someone please help me to understand if this is a ongoing problem with all htc hd2 with nand android or if i should just install another android rom..;(
