Help, I have bricked my HTC HD2 using MAGLDR 1.11

Hello all,
I was trying to get android booting from NAND instead of the SD card, I got a rom with 576ram (recommended) and installed MAGLDR 1.11. Now i cant seem to do anything with the phone, its not bricked as par say, it will show the loading screen and then not move and i can access the bootloader with voldwn+powerbutton but nothing else is happening, I cant load new roms nothing. Im pretty lost here and really need some help of how i can get my phone back onto a winmo6.5 rom so i can remember not to try it again
I posted this in this thread as it does relate to an android situation.

Find Task29.exe with no radio. It's on this site somewhere. You will see some with radios attached to them, so don't use those. Just the plain old no radio version. It will wipe your phones internal memory and you will basically be starting from scratch. Nothing will be on your phone after a Task29. Then go into bootloader. How to enter boot loader after Task29- Once Task29 hits 96% (looks just like you are flashing a rom), hold volume down and power from 96% until it gets to 100% and the tri color bootloader screen pops up. It should say "USB" at the bottom after bootloader comes up if you are plugged into your computer. Then Flash MAGLDR 1.11 again. Then flash your NAND build.
You aren't bricked if you phone powers on.
What operating system is on your PC?

Well it does boot and if you have hspl you did a good job. So if you have magdlr you now need to install Android. Read a guide plzzz!

OS on PC is....#sigh# windows vista ultimate
For task 29 do I have to have the phone connected via usb, because its not recognising it when its even in bootloader

task29.exe didnt work

Don't do task 29,you will just complicate your life even more than now. I don't think you know what you are doing.
You may brick your phone in the end do you have HSPL?

1st try entering the BOOTLOADER, by pressing the volume down power button simultaneously..!!!
Instead of TASK 29, try FLASHAHOLIC which will perform your TASK 29 & help you flash a WinMO 6.5 ROM as well..!!!
PS: - You can even flash custom ROM's, stock ROM's not compulsory..!!!

Well then re-install Active SYNC or try on a diff PC with Latest Active SYNC..!!!
If you can access your boot-loader your device ain't bricked..!!!

Just boot your phone with VolDown and enter USB mode, reflash MAGLDR 1.11, once this has completed reboot your phone and hold down the power button, you will then see the MAGLDR menu.
Then just follow instructions on how to install an nand rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948

it might just be the magldr or NAND ROM not flashed properly. If you can get to Tri-Color bootloader you are fine.

Found out the problem, thanks for all of your help guys, it was the fact i didnt have hspl2 installed....newb points to me

I have exactly the same problem only difference with my problem is when hold vol down and power buttons all I get is the tri coloured screen and nothing else no bootloader menu appears at all.
What can I do? Is my phn dead???

That's exactly what is supposed to happen if you hold the vol down button while switching on. To get to the magldr menu you need to hold the power button in until it boots to the menu (no vol down button )

You guys are awesome!
I've been avoiding dealing with this phone for a while. This post came up first on google search. Held power and volume (mag 1.11 was on it) and upgraded it to 1.13 and now I'm golden! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Need some help getting ANYTHING running on my HD2

Ok guys so I could use some help here. I bought a new (used) HD2 yesterday. It is the TMOUS version and I am having every problem I could possibly imagine with it. When I bought it the phone would only boot to the pink T-Mobile screen. It wouldn't go any further than that. I have been able to succesfully able to boot it into the 3 color bootloader screen and am able to flash HSPL using the HSPL4 program. I have successfully flashed both 2.08 and 3.03 HSPL. One time I was even able to flash MAGLDR 1.13 but when it booted into MAGLDR it only showed a black screen with MAGLDR at the top. It didn't give me any options to do anything. I believe that it is because MAGLDR only works with radio 2.15 from what I have read, but I can't seem to get that radio or any other for that matter to flash to the phone. It gets stuck at 96% then I get a connection error. I have no idea what radio it currently has or had as I have done a task 29 a couple of times and it flashes correctly but doesn't change anything. I have tried it on two different computers using 2 different operating systems (XP, WIN7). I have searched until my eyes bleed and done everything I can think of I have been working on this for a little over 12 hours now and I am ready to throw this phone against the wall, so could someone please help me save my sanity and get this thing working or at least tell me that I am SOL and nothing I can do will fix it.
Edit well now I think it is officially bricked. I tried flashing Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 that I got from DFT_LEO70_RELEASE and it stopped at 16%. The recovery wizard came up and I did exactly what it said and now the phone won' reboot into the bootloader or do anything for that matter.

if you get the 3 colour screen then it likely the phone will work, you need to start from scratch
use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
I would task 29 then instal a stock rom, if that works and it should providing you have not installed an incorrect radio, then consider a custom rom
Have you tried pressing and holdingthe up and down Volume buttons and then press the power button?
The 2.15.50.14 would not normaly brick the phone iirc
time patience and following the instructions is what you need, Good luck

[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?

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...

Cannot boot further of the tri color screen

I have a strange problem that my hd2 cannot pass the tri color boot screen, even i have replaced the buttons, as i doubted them to causing the problem.
I was previously running android on magldr and it suddenly crashed, since then, i am stuck on tri color. i ve reverted back to the stock from computer and from sd but still the same. Reverting back to hspl2.08, installed many things like task29, clk, mag, custom wm6.5, everything goes fine installation, but the damn cannot boot into any os. I am stuck at tri color screen.
one thing i have noticed that even after i install stock wm6.5, it automatically boots to tri color when connected to a charger, while it is not supposed to do so when mag is removed with task 29 and stock wm or custom.
I am advanced user and have used hd2 for 2 years and i know things like stock and spl and all that. Well i have Tmous with hspl2.08 and radio 2.14.50.
i think this is magldr related issue(since it is booting directly when a charger is connected).
Plz help....i dont want to miss this awesome device while another one of mine is complete brick dead.
.
.
.or is there any command in mtty to ingnore the tri color boot screen and let the os boot??
(note:downloaded the stock wm6.5 from tmous website and installed from computer running win 7 and also tried installing from sd..every installation goes perfect but do not boot)

Check the battery pins, make sure that they are aligned correctly.
Also make sure volume down button is not stuck, try pressing and releasing quickly a few times
Long shot but all I can think of!
Edit: just re-read your post you have tried reverting to stock via sdcard method so

Many thanks but i have tried them previously! Jtag a final solution?

Just had a thought!!
To verify that vol down button is functioning you could install clk 1.5 using the sdcard method,( you need to hold vol down to initiate install).
Go to post 3 here to get insrtuctions.
Then try booting into clk by holding back button when turning on.
Another long shot!!

[q] htc hd2 - htc logo stuck

HI,
I tried to install Android on this phone. I fallowed step-by-step tutorial, installed HSPL 2.08, installed Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 ROM,installed MAGLDR 1.13 and after that I should get MAGLDR menu, but phone restarted and only shows white screen with green HTC logo. I tried to turn off phone and hold power button to enter MAGLDR, but nothing. A tried with Wipe and then repeat all steps above but still the same. Before on the phone was Windows mobile, but also not working. Can someone guide me how to fix this?
Thanks

You have to wipe the phone with Task29 from bootloader and at 99% of the process hold volume down, boot in bootloader again (4 colors) and then install MAGLDR v1.13. After that the only way to boot in MAGLDR is holding power button when you see Go,Go,Go and should boot into it. Repeat the steps, there is no other way and if not working you do something wrong. Remember to have full battery. Try mine, maybe you are lucky.

I tried, everything done with "succesfully". After installation of MAGLDR it's not showing GO, GO, GO and not showing RADIO and other stuff written with red color in lower left color, just white screen with green HTC.
Can I use something else then MAGLDR?

No, something wrong there and I telling you, this is the only way. Flash again HSPL4 and Radio, different one like 2.12.50.02_2 even if have nothing to do with the problem. Do you use ToolKit? Don't use that, flash separately all the steps. Take off SD and Sim card from the phone. If you stuck in logo because you do something wrong or the phone it's faulty but I never saw that before.

Is there any problem that in three colors screen on top is written "Security unlocked"? I don't use ToolKit, although I have it. I am doing all separately.

Security Unlocked? Never heard about that and no way this happen on HD2. When you are on bootloader on top should be written the type of the Chip, Cotulla HSPL 2.08 only. Anything else is just weird. It's your HD2 branded?

There is no difference then. On bootloader did you installed and is written CotullaHSPL? How do you installed MAGLDR? In MAGLDR you execute ROMUpdateUtiliy.exe? If you did then you should boot into it. To me the problem is you don't know ow to boot into it. Try keep pushing call button instead of power button but for me MAGLDR is not installed on your phone. I remember well when I installed MAGLDR I don't have to even push power button because it boot automatically. Did you performed Task29? Between this options you making some mistake.
BTW, I worry if your phone is not locked permanently. This kind of job doing the carriers of your phone but on HD2 to me is impossible.

I uploaded image of my screen in above post. It's written CotullaHSPL. I started ROMUpdateUtiliy.exe, and I turned of antivirus and firewall. Every time is "successfully". I done this already on my old HTC HD2, it should boot automaticaly or should show GO, GO, GO screen. It tried with holding power, holding call button, but nothing

This is firs time I see a problem like that on HD2. Try then instal MAGLRD from Toolkit, it's a last chance, should be no difference but maybe toolkit do something magic. If I know something I will let you know.

Do have other version of radio that you can upload or links for them? Seems that MAGLDR isn't going to start because of version of radio. I have Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
