My HTC HD Mini died

From the sudden the screen was black and could not do anything i removed the battery start it and all i see the message with htc than it powers off. i tried hard reset same thing dont know what else to try i'm thinking that is a software related problem anyone knows what do do untill monday when ill go to the service?

Stupid Question:
Are you sure, it is not just a broken battery? Sound like it has no power...
Ingo

i tried to power it with the charger plugged in and same thing from what i see i think its something similar with computers that start then powers off not to damage something or cannot boot and shut down. because all i see is the white background with HTC a few seconds not the one with quietly brilliant.

Why you don't try hard reset?(there is a problem with the contacts and everything in main memory as all they are going to be deleted)

Load the Battery. I had the same problem and my Mini did not start width connected loader. Later after loading for a while everything was ok.

HELP!!!

Hi, I recently installed TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.3.3.. I was texting yesterday and it randomly restarted by itself...it usually does that once in a while so i ignored it. However, this time, it kept restarting non-stop and my android won't boot, so i decided to install v2.4.1 on my phone since it was in my SD card anyway... now when I try to turn my phone on, it just vibrates CONSTANTLY non-stop with a blank screen until I pull the battery..
I tried letting it vibrate till the battery died but its still the same thing. When I connect it to the wall charger, it seems like nothing happens.. when I connect it to the computer, its the same thing as turning the phone on..
Please help, I am phoneless right now,
Thank you

Unplug your phone from charger than press and hold Volume Down button and turn the phone on.
The phone should boot into bootloader mode.
Now connect it to the PC with USB cable and flash WM ROM.
After you can start all over again and flash Android back.

Try this...Pull & keep d battery out of d fone for abt 2 mins..then pop it back in..
Enter bootloader mode..
Perform a Task29...the one by "doloop" wipes ur phone memory clean without affecting ur previously installed HSPl or Radio...
Re-Flash a rom of ur choice.

i kept the battery out for the entire night, put it back in this morning, pushed the power button and same exact thing.. ]:

Might sound really obvious but try hold in the little reset button on the back of the phone for like 10secs and see if anything happens. I had the WSOD and looked everywhere for a fix then I just did that and it worked. Goodluck.

Nothing happened... ]:

I left the phone on vibrating until the battery died... Charged it and left it out of the phone this morning until now and the phone won't even turn on when I press the power button now....It just doesn't even respond :|

Kick your phone in the nuts and try again

I wish it was that easy ):

You can't go to bootloader? What radio version u are use?
HD2 TMOUSA
rom : TyphoonCyanogenMod 7
radio: 2.15.50.14
LINTEAM LEADER(gpu dev)

Keep your phone off.
Hold Both the Vol up and Vol down buttons and then press the power button...
That'll let you do a hard reset.
Not sure if it'll help... but can it do any more harm?

My phone doesn't even turn on anymore.. I can't get into bootloader.. it doesn't charge either..

Well, its look u really fcuked the phone.
I know this really not help u at all
U have 2 options
1st one take it back to shop if u still under warrenty
2nd take it to some repair center where can be repaired with JTAG method
I know u didn't want to hear this but its look its nothing more u can do with it.
Good luck to u m8

I sent an email to HTC today..hopefully I can fix this... I had HSPL installed so it voids my warranty if I send it back correct? ):
Anybody else heard of this problem? ):

[Q] is my phone fudged?

I think my phone might be fudged. I have been running android fine for the last few weeks until it crashed, I removed the battery to reset but the phone wouldn’t turn back on. However I could boot to the tri-color screen so I tried putting windows 6.5 back on the phone, the installation finished but the phone still wouldn’t boot the OS. I can still get the tri-color screen and have tried re-installing the radio/magdlr but they stick on 0%. Also my battery at best probably has 20-30% of juice left (it won’t charge either).
Anyone know what the cause of the problem is and if there is a way it can be fixed?
thanks in advance!

Try doing a Task29 then flash a compatible Radio then flash MAGLDR.. and lets see what happens

You will need to charge your battery. If it dies during a flash then you will have an even bigger problem to sort out.
If its less than 50% this is probably why its sticking at 0%.
Is your HSPL still intact and which radio are you using?

lower than 50% doesn't really matter from the bootloader, only RUU.
It sounds like hardware problem, or something fishy going on in NAND, I'd do task29 followed by ROM/Radio

thanks for the responses. I still have hspl, I manged to successfully install task 29 after that I tried flashing a windows 6.5 rom, once again phone won't start up after 100% all i can do is get to the 4 colored screen.
is there anything else I can try? considering my battery must be really low and I have no way of charging it.

If you got 100% when you flashed the Windows Mobile ROM and your HD2 rebooted itself, then you sucessfuly flashed the ROM.
Did it boot up to the bootloader or the first splash screen (Stick Together or white HTC screen depending on which HD2 you have)?
If it booted to the first splashscreen it could be the processor having troubles or possible bad blocked incthe NAND memory.
If it boots straight to bootloader then you have a bad NAND memory.

It doesn't reboot to either screen, it simply turns off after the rom is finished installing and doesn't start back up again. The only thing I can do is press volume down and red button to boot the 4 colored screen. When I press the power button all that happens is the phone sometimes makes a tiny vibration.

Yeah sounds like you probably have a internal problem with hardware. But it might could because software related issue, but I highly doubt it. The only software problem you could have that I can think of is a problem with your SPL or HSPL which ever one you have, but you should have HSPL cause you where running Android.

Would a corrupt bootsplash do this?

If you are asking if a currupt splash screen could cause your issue, I would have to say it could be possible, but I do not know enough to say for sure, sorry. You can put this to a test though and flash another splash screen, but the ROM should have flashed a splash screen. Maybe the splash screen it flashed was currupted or had a bad flash. Go to this link to get a splash screen and learn how to flash one.

I've said this a lot in other threads, but create a gold card SD. This will allow you to flash ALL the necessary components from the SD card. Then report back with your experience...

[Q] HD2 Tuto flashing = Black screen but .. ?

Hello,
This night, i have flashed my HD2 with Android using this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Everything was Ok. I followed the tutorial, finally i flashed the device.
My phone started with new Android system, i setup my Wifi connections, operator config....
Suddenly when i pushed the power button, my screen becames black.
Now when i remove the battery and power on the HD2. I can hear the sound of "HTC Quielty brillant" 's screen, a sound when Android looks to start. Finally my ativity LED turn Green (Stay green). The screen stay black. But the button and the backlight works fine. If i try to power on with Volume down, my screen still stay black to but i can't hear sounds of HTC (It looks like boot is working but no diplay :l )
So there is my question :
Do you think my HD2 is bricked ? I don't think cause i can hear sounds but in your opinion ?
Maybe it's my screen which is broken ? But exactly when i used my Android ROM for the 1st time ! Strange ?! :l
Maybe it's a way to fix it ? I missed something ?!
Please help me My Chrismas presents was HD2, clothes, clothes, clothes .... If I bricked my new smartphone ... I d'ont' care about clothes :S

It might be a hardware problem, it is a known problem that HD2s have their screen cables under the power button. So it might be that.
But 1 question: when you say the backlight is working, do you mean that the screen is light up, but with black color, nothing showing? - in this case, your hardware is OK. If so, then you should try getting into bootloader and install another different ROM.
Or you mean only that the buttons are lit up? In that case I'd say that the hardware is the problem.
In that case you'll have to return it for warranty... But you'll have to get the stick ROM on it back again... Thats gonna be another problem.
Lots of problems, sorry to hear that...

Thank you for your help
This is the video of what happens when i turn it ON. lol

It looks to be this case.
But when i boot my phone with Vol.Down pressed.
It don't start same way. But there is nothing displayed ...
Is it possible that the way i flashed the phone is making that the screen don't work ? (With the version on Radio or something about flashing ?!)
The person which gave me the phone, stop warranty to put it on his newone
So i'll must to find a solution in every cases or accept defeat

Ok, from what I see, it must be software problem, because there is backlight after turn on, so the screen works.
now, have you flashed clk or magldr?
If clk, then try after turning on the phone holding the home button. That should start the clockwork mod recovery. Maybe it will start.
However, you should try connecting the phone to your computer and seeing if the PC loads the phone?
If so, you should download hd2 toolkit (search for it) and run task29 on it (that will erase the nand memory completely).
Then flash the bootloader again, then continue with ROM installation as before.
Hopefully after task29 it should start working.
But 1 warning! After task29, you must install bootloader immediately, BEFORE disconnecting the phone or restarting it. If you don't, you'll brick your phone. Bootloader must be installed before restarting/ rebooting the phone.
I'm no expert in all this, I recommend to do a lot of reading before attempting all this.
Good luck mate!

Thats not right, you can flash everytime after you used task 29, you just need HSPL.
Also the phone restarts by itself after using task 29...

I hoped someone would correct me i dont use task 29 from hd2 toolkit often, i'm on clk, so everything done through cwm.

Finally I tried what you recommend. To make a Task29. And it looks to work but my screen still stay black... I think there is a problem with the data connection between the phone and the screen... the connector must be badly connected or a little bit destroyed something like this... :l
What do you think about this ?
Thanks for your help. Sorry for the time between my answers.

I have written a clk guide that will make this process much easier for you. I'm on my phone and the YouTube video isn't working. I will update this post more once I watch video.
But as of right now it sounds like you need a new rom
Edit:
I've read more, and somethings wrong with your screen. Your screen can be broken and the back light still work. In fact, it sounds like everything works fine except the screen. I think you need to flash back to windows mobile and send it in for a warranty repair.

[q] bricked htc hd2

Hi there people.
my phone is bricked. i can't even get to the TRI COLOR bootloader screen for HSPL.
there's no response with the power button adn the volume key.
i'm basically trying to ask this:
is there anyway to reinstall the very CORE-FIRMWARE of the hd2? that is, reinstall even the tricolor screen itself. because for somereason there's no way to the tricolor screen, the hd2 just won't power on.
thanks for the help .

What a bad situation ... But don't worry ... use JTAG ...

Dear friend ... I think you can make it using a JTAG Box ... if you search in the net , you can find many manufacturers which sell / give JTAG service ... that's it ... Good luck

First, check the battery pins aren't bent.

Checked everything
Hi.
i seem to have checked everything when it comes to getting it to power on.
but it won't.
1. checked battery pins,
2. tried freezing.
3. tried reseting,
4. hard resetting.
5. charged the battery from an outside source. nothing wrong with battery.
the phone detects in windows, even when it is powered off.
it says so with the MY HTC drivers,
is there anything i can do with the phone with the phone not powering on, but IS detected in windows.
in other words, what i need is some sort of OFFLINE FLASHER. something that'll flash the phone without turning it on.
hope ya'll can help. there's obviously something i'm missing. you know how it is, sometimes you just miss something and it's right there in front of you........ where did i put my car keys?
thanks.
