I need your help please! Bricked hd2???

OK, I received a T-Mobile hd2 that was and still is stuck on "stick together " screen. I tried the reset button on the back, taking out the battery, checked for bents battery pins, and I downloaded 2 "official" .exe roms and renamed to zip and extracted.the nbh file and renamed to leoimg.nbh and tried to flash them.via a formatted fat32 2gb SD card and only one worked, kind of but gets stuck at like 15% of the way?? For like 10 min..I just pulled the battery. .I tried it twice..Please help me out here..this is what is says on the bootloader screen if that helps??
PB81120. SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X50
AND NOW IT SAYS THIS (ON THE GREEN PART OF THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN), AND THIS IS AFTER THE FAILED FLASH THAT I TRIED..
"UPGRADE ROM CODE ERROR PLEASE TRY AGAIN" ?
Is that just saying that the flash failed?? Or something else??
Please help me out guys...as you can see I'm kinda desperate and exuasted in trying to get this.hd2 working again!! Preferably ANDROID FROYO..THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

You need to make sure you are flashing the correct stock ROM. Try downloading and flashing the official T-Mobile US 2.13 ROM, that SHOULD get you back to working. Everything you are doing is correct, Fat32 formatted SD card, under 4GB....nice job searching before posting, that is to be commended. Anyways, try the 2.13 ROM and let me know what happens.

Have you tried a hard reset? Or task 29 while in bootloader mode?

Ok i tried the 2.13 rom and it flashed and said success! but then it just stayed at that screen?? so i pressed the reset button on the back and now its back to the stuck "stick together" screen!! ??? should i have waited till it rebooted after it said "succes "?? i waited like 5 min and nothing and i just pressed the reset button..or should i have taken out the battery??

Yeahhh...you may have jumped the gun a little bit...after is says success, it takes like 10 more minutes for the ROM to set everything up. Go into bootloader and try flashing it again with the stock ROM and wait for at least 10 minutes and see what happens.

OK ill try that if I get lucky enough for that successful update..LOL
But I flashed a hspl2 (2.08) and can't I just flash away?? (USB..bootloader mode) ?? Since the phone is always stuck on the bootloader screen..
I just open the exe flash program and connect my hd2 in bootloader mode and I get the USB mode on the bootloader screen and I flash away..but it but it always stops at a certain point...mostly 8%..???

Yeah you can just flash away like usual. HardSPL isn't required to flash an official ROM anyways.

what am i doing wrong!!?? i tried ,many roms but hang at 8% 95% of the time?? i tried kumars tmous v2.9 s23139 se rom, the ruu_leo_1_5_tmous_2.10.531.0_radio_15.34.50.07u, and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1, all stop at 8%???!! ...i always do task29 after every failed rom to be clean and start over..thats right..right??
i have the hspl 2.08
i have a feeling im flashing an incompatible rom that requires a different radio rom??
please give me a link to download the right rom...thanks

i feel for ya man, i keep getting up and running , every thing runs fine, i get it to survive a few reboots, then dead.... stuck at the boot screen.

I tried but hangs at 8%????

i tried many other roms, kumar, core cell, official tmobile us roms, they all either stop at 0%, 1%, 8%????? im going crazy here!!! whats going on?? i have hspl 2.08 and i do a task29 before every flash, but the wierd thing is that it doesnt auto reboot after task29?? it should, right?? and even after a hspl3 flash it doesnt reboot, the phone use to reboot automatically after one of those??? no i have to take out the battery for 15 seconds and put it back for it to boot again into bootloader?? and wierd thing is that sometimes if a flash fails and when i get it the hd2 to turn back on and if i do the hard ereset (volume up and down and then press up to reformat) it then reboots and hangs at the boot image of the last failed flash?? i thought when i do a task29 everthing should be erased???
guys im about to LOOSE IT!! i have tried to flash this phone already like 100 times int he past 3 days, no joke!!! 2 times it reached 100% but even after it rebooted and i did a hard reset it would hang at the boot logo?????

Did you have Android loaded on that same microSD card? Does it hang if your microSD card is out.
After you task 29 it should auto reboot, then you press Volume Down and Power to get into bootloader. Have you tried flashing from your PC via USB? If you are flashing form the card a stock rom, it will overwrite your HSPL to Stock SPL. You probably know this. Also if you flashed 2.13 then you need to install HSPL3 and not the original HSPL program. 2.13 has 2.10 firmware. HSPL only supports 2.8 firmware.
I've always heard when it hangs on boot up that it's usually something on your card.

it never had android, i got it with the stock firmware and it was messed up, stuck on "stick together" screen..and i never have the sd while im flashing via usb in bootloader.. i tried many roms, and task29 followed by hpsl3 and then i would flash custom roms and even stock roms but all fail?? all stop at like 8%, but the wierd thing is that even the task29 sometimes fails at 0% so im suspecting maybe its from windows 7? but i did try xp and the samething, the roms would stop usually at 8% or 0%??? ...weird?
ok i kinda fell like my mind is cluttered and confused..
i want to know, please..what rom is compatible with my current tomobile hd2 with hspl 2.08 colutta
so what rom should work fine?? with no problem?? and DOES IT MATTER WHAT MY RADIO ROM IS?? i have a feeling that if i have a older radio that it will interfere with the rom???

Ok i got it to accept a rom flash from sd card!! But it just stayed at the "update complete, update success" white screen??? I waited over 10min the i did a reset and hard reset...and now stuck at the boot logo??? I heard i might need a higher radio??? 2.10 or higher?? Is this why its not booting up?? Can i flash the radio through sd card??

You can flash a radio, just like a rom form the microSD card...

is there such a thing as a wrong radio version for a rom or "required" radio version for a rom?? will that cause the phone not to boot up???

I've never had issues using any Radio with any ROM really. Some combos work better than others but won't cause your problem. If I were you I would task29, then flash the 2.13 or the new 3.14 shipped ROM via microSD to take the SPL back to stock. Then I would flash HSPL3, then reflash a Custom ROM or the Stock ROM via USB. Then do a couple hard resets after that. If that doesn't work I'm thinking Hardware.
You can use any of these radios. http://www.4shared.com/dir/RFg27UmU/Radios.html Doesn't matter what ROM you are running.

Wtf!! I tried to restore the stock tmous roms (2.13 and the latest 3.14) and all would stop at 8%???? And i reverted back to stock 2.08 spl..still hangs at 8%??? But if i flash that core cell rom...itll say success 100%..??/ why???? Man this freakin hd2 is makin me go crazy...hardware issue maybe??

come on guys?? please help, its been like 10 days no reply...

[Q] Is my HD2 bricked? What can I do?

Hi there everyone!
I installed a NAND Android Rom Dl Desire Z or something... everything was working, but suddendly phone just crashes, and nothing but a white screen appear as soon as HD2 powers on.
The only thing i'm able to do is to go to 3 color mode (hardspl) - but all attempts to flash a wm6.5 rom failed because customruu failed in the middle of the process. freezes at 0% and then appears a communication error in the application.
Conclusion: as soon as phone turns on, only a white screen appears, with nothing written in it.
i've searched for 2 hours in xda and google, nothing similar came...
i've reflashed hardspl3 - sucessfull, but nothing changed, white screen still appears.
i've tried to flash other roms but always freezes at 0%, and appears communication error in customruu application.
I don't know what to do :/
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you very much!!

If you can still get into bootloader and you do have hspl installed, try flashing the winmo rom via sd card.

Will do!
I'll post feedback

Start flashing official 1.66(its EU, you need analog to 1024 LEO) WM 6.5 rom from HSPL, than HPSL3, radio with 576 RAM(Radio_2.15.50.14 for example), than MAGLDR112, and after these steps flash Android

Hey there!
I've tried all the methods above indicated.
Flashed a new rom through sd - update failed
Flashed a stock 1.66 Wmo rom but white screen still appears as soon as phone is turned on
Can't downgrade HSPL to 1.42 or so...
Can't do Task 29...
What can I do?
Suggestions?!
Thank you!

Hello
Im thinking maybe your motherboard as many tmous users ?.. just thinking..maybe?? I don't hope it for you
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It doesn't make sense :S
I never had any problem with it, and it was running a new Android rom for the second time.. then I take the phone out of the pocket and it is with a white screen...
I can get to the hspl boot but it isn't proving useful...
Any thoughts?

[Q] HTC HD 2 Brick after HSPL Downgreat?

Hallo,

So i thought that i have to make a HSPL downgreat from 2.08 to 1.44.
And after that nothing.
No chance to get into the Bootloader or start it normaly.

Now i thougt my htc hd2 is brick or not?
What can i do that it never happens again?
Hope you can Help me

tmous or regular hd2?
tmous - its probably dead from flashing any rom that uses spl 1.42, , is it a tmous? (green send key, red end key)
regular - need more info,,, what rom did you flash? exact filename please,

I Thought i have the regular HD 2.
First of all HSPL 2.08 was installed on my HD 2 after that i installed a new Radio Rom Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 after that i installed magdlr 1.13.
All works fine but it dont boot.
go go go .... only fatal error1.
JDMS v1.6.2 Ultimate [Kernel: Hastarin 8.6N] NAND ROM
But then everytime i use PDA Rom Upgrade utility i stuck by 0% and i get the error 262 but it sometimes happend that i got the 100%.
After JDMS install that never boot up, i installed a Stock Rom (Original Rom)
from HTC
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
But after 20 % it stuck.
I test Task29 and it works.

flashing that SPL should not have bricked your phone afaik. Did you do any battery pulls? (ben pins maybe?)

Yes, i thought 100 times in 2 days ...because everytime i got the 262 Error with 0% i had to pull the battery.
I ve looked at the pins but they looks fine.
hmmm ...but i dont get any led signal while im loading the battery?
Could i kill the battery? At the beginning everytime i loading the battery i got a Orange Led signal that it loads.

look again and make 100% sure none of the pins are even a little bent, because they may just not be connecting to all 3 battery slots, then put in the battery and plug in the phone and see if it gives a yellow charge light.

Could simply be a flat battery,,,magldr doesn't allow charging when the phone is off.
If you have an old USB cable, mini or micro, cut the end off, bare the red and black, battery out, hold red to + black to - on the battery for a minute or two, see what happens when you plug back in.

looks like he's not running magldr, from what I read he flashed task29 then HSPL 1.42, so he actually doesn't have anything on NAND atm

task29 only flashes the rom memory area, not teh spl/splash/radio areas. HSPL only affects the spl memory area, magldr exists in teh secondary splash screen area, so isn't touched by either of those. Magldr of course wont start since spl is no longer 2.08.x, but i suspect the non charge bug will still be in effect.
(Just for the record, and since there are so many posts recommending it, i personally believe in 99% of cases where task29 is run, there is no benefit at all. it just adds yet another write cycle to our already overstretched nand memory. flashing a new cwm partition will have the same effect.)

weird, last time I flashed task29 even with 2.08 I thought magldr didn't start and it didn't go past the splash, maybe I was wrong.
@ OP. have you tried to use a different battery?

HD2, may the battery be failing or maybe phone itself overheating?

Hello.
When i try to update my radio i sometimes get to 100% but then it says Software update failed. Please try again.
and if i let it stand at the TRIcolor screen for some seconds too long it get stuck at a random percentage...
when i try to install a rom it get stuck at a random %.
I have tried different HSPL(using 2.08HSPL atm) but same result.
The only thing i can get to install is magldr, but even here in the magldr meny it get random freezes.
I just bought it used and the bootlogo is NRG Energizer. (tought it would be htc
Thanks
UPDATE:
I was just wandering if it was the battery that was failing? because the phone always seem to "Work" when it has been off for a while.
a couple of minutes in with the phone booted it may random freeze or soft-reset and then i have to let it "cool" before it will start booting Energy rom again. (it gets stuck on phone Splash screen without showing in red which Radio and rom i have etc.) After i let it "cool" it starts and i can see in red which radio and rom i have from the phone splash screen.
The same freeze also occours when it is not "cooled" down and i try flashing feks. a radio.
I managed to flash the radio early in the morning when the phone still was "cooled" down
any theories?
Thanks

Have you considered reformatting the NAND (Task29)? I just learned about that process. It may help.

Thanks, but i have allready tried that a couple of time.
I think it may be radio bricked as it always fail on RADIO with when i try SD method with stock rom, or any radio.
however i have managed to get it success with RADIO Radio_2_07_51_22_2 and Radio Radio_2_14_50_04.
but i havnt got any closer to booting the OS i think
i heard that if i install a rom without radio it may boot?
any1 know of any rom?

OH MY GOD!
it just booted up Energy Titanium ROM!!
Do u guys still thinks its radio bricked?

[Q] Can't install anything, maybe bricked?

OK. It's not me who have the problem and I may not provide you enough information. However, I will try as much as I can to get the info from the man who has the problem.
A friend of mine got an used HD2, with stock WinMo. The fist thing he did was of course hard-reset it. Aaand the system got ****ed up. He couldn't boot it sometimes (had a grey screen, he said with some weird text under, like Boot_W_PWE_KEY_PRESSED or BOOTUP_W_WARM_RESET after trying to install sth, few times it managed to boot up but lagged so much). I ignored it and wanted to do task29, radio, magldr, android. First thing - HSPL. Downloaded HSPL4, installed HSPL 2.08 fine. Then - Task29 + Radio. And nothing. ROM Code Error. After few tries, HTC logo and progress bar showed up. Task29 is stuck on 96% though and then displays an exclamation mark in a triangle.
After a restart, grey screen is still present.
We can't install magldr as well (dat error again).
What could go wrong?

try use HSPL3 cuz HSPL4 is for wp7 mango but not for HD2 Leo

You need to study more.

OK, so we managed to install magldr on 11th? try and on 21st try we managed to boot Android from SD.
I'm pretty sure that NAND is damaged (NAND Android and WP7 couldn't boot at all, 1E FATAL HIT, same was with Android SD, but after many tries it booted), but when the phone hangs up after trying to play Angry Birds (so much that only thing he could do was to pull out the battery) and sometimes hangs up just for a while without a particular reason means that something else is damaged as well?

Boot loader
Has he tried booting into the boot loader.
Hold the down volume button and the power key at the same time.
If he gets a multi-colored screen then he is not bricked.

By 'bricked' I mean unusable because of physical damage that doesn't allow to run the phone properly.
Oh. Also he managed to install and boot WP7. It will return a 'Fatal hit' if it won't have enough break without a battey. It boots only after few mins turned off (which makes installing cabs almost impossible D: )... It was bought used, I think it had fallen and few more components were damaged...
