need help, bricked htc hd2

my htc hd2 is bricked, the screen is stuck at the white tmobile screen.
However, i can get to the red, green, blue, and white screen.
i read a comment on a old thread, there was a way to fix it, but they didn't post the comment. So is there a way to fix my hd2?
more details on how it might be bricked.
i left my phone uncharged causing it freeze, so i reset it.
that when i took out the battery and ever since
when i try trying it on, it stood in the white tmobile screen.

First off your HD2 is not bricked. If it wax bricked it would not so much as turn on.To save your HD2 do one of these two things.
Download the official update from T-Mobile.com. Look behind your battery to find your IMEI number to enter. Next make sure your HD2 is good and charged I know this is hard as it will not boot but just let it charge for a good while as you do not want the battery to die during either method of flashing. Now while the phone is off hold the volume down button down and press the power button but keep holding the volume down button down. When the phone is in bootloader(multicolor screen) connect your phone to the computer via USB and wait for Serial in the white bar of the bootloader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognizes your phone then right click on the update package and click run as administrator and run the update utility. This should flash the stock ROM but if you have MAGLDR you will loose it and if you have HSPL you might lose it.
Now the secound option you have is to right click on the update package and click on view or explore wich ever one you see and find the RUU_signed.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh or LEOIMG.nbh as it is not case sensitive. Then take a 500MB to 4GB SD card that is formated with Fat 32 and place it into a USB SD card reader and plug it into a USB port on your computer. If you are not sure about the format. Go to "My Computer" and find the card reader, it will be a removable drive or a mass storage device (make sure to make a back up copy of the intior contents of the SD card first as it will wipe the card clean)and right click on it and click format and then Fat 32. Copy the leoimg.nbh file to the root of the SD card. After coping it to the SD card place the card in your phone and put it into bootloader the same as mentioned above but keep the volume down button held down until you see searching on the phone screen and then let the volume down button go. You will have to press the power button to comfirm it. This should flash your phone to complete stock as it will remove MAGLDR, CWM, and HSPL if you have it on your phone.
There is other options to but I highly suggest going back to stock and then starting back over again as to me it just simplifies things some. Also seeing as you have a T-Mobile HD2 do not flash a radio that looks like any of these 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any radio like this 2.xx.51.xx as any of these radios will brick a T-Mobile HD2.

after flashing it back to stock rom, can i flash an android rom again?
is there another way where i can skip the stock rom and just flash an android rom?

Yes you can reflash a Andriod ROM if you go back to stock but you would have to flash HSPL 2.08 again, flash MAGLDR 1.13 again, and CWM if you want to use it.
If you just want to flash another Andriod ROM just turn your HD2 off and then turn it back on button keep the power button down until the main menu of MAGLDR comes up (that is if you already have MAGLDR on your HD2) and then follow the instructions from the Andriod ROM on how to flash it using MAGLDR or CWM if you have it.
If you do not have HSPL and MAGLDR on your HD2 uou will have to flash both to hour HD2 befor you can flash a Andriod ROM. To flash these do this but your HD2 into bootloader (muticolor screen) and connect it to your computer via USB cable and wait to see USB in the white bar of the bootloader screen and that your computer recognizes your HD2 then flash wichever one you are wanting to flash. You will have to do this for every individual thing you want to flash. You also need to flash HSPL 2.08 first then MAGLDR 1.13 and then CWM if you want it.

No you have to have MAGLDR to install Android. Try installing Clock Work Mod (CWM) and use it to install your Andriod ROM. Just do a search for Clock Work Mod for HTC HD2. Then read and follow the instructions in the ROM thread to use CWM to flash it.

i have a few problems when trying to install any rom using magldr.
First, whenever i boot up to the magldr screen, sometime it will freeze and i have to take out my battery.
Second, When installing a rom, it gets stuck at "the booting android from nand 123456 go go go" screen.
What could be wrong with my magldr, i already tried to re-installing it and it still acts up.

Take your SD card out of your HD2 and then boot it up and see if you still have the problem. If it is gone you need to back up your SD card and do a full wipe of it and reformat it using your computer and a SD card reader. Format it Fat 32.

Run a task 29 on your HD2 then reclash MAGLDR and see if this helps it should, unless you have some bad boot sectors.

damn, i also tried that too, but it still freezes on me. i think i have a bad boot sector, how do i fix this?

Well you can not fix bad boot sectors persay witbout replacing the NAND memory chip which acrually requires the replacment of the intior mainboard of your HD2. Because you can not just replce the chip cause of the wah the mainboard is made. Wht you can do is use a JTAG device and some special software to go in and mark those sectors as bad so the phone will no longer try to use those sectors.

[Q] Help please with bootloader & SPL

Ok I'm trying to install NAND Android on my HD2 & have found a thread that I can follow but to get started I need to have SPL 1.42.0000, 1.62.0000, 1.66.0000, 2.07.0000, 2.08.0000 or 2.10.0000 installed & I had 3.03 having just debranded the phone using HSPL.
Now I know I have to use bootloader to downgrade which I have managed to do but now have "Not Allowed" come up on the screen, the phone just goes into tri colour & now shows SPL 1.42.0000.
I think I know the reason - this was a stock rom I downloaded from the HTC site & my phone is a TMobile UK so presumably I would need an SPL as above for the TMobile network to strat with? If so where can I get one from as HTC don't appear to have one on their site with the SPL numbers as above?
Many thanks
Junks

spls are not specific to any network.
run hspl4 choose 2.08.hspl, done.

Thanks Sam - Didn't realise that, I still have to get the phone to start though as I can't now get a connection to the PC as its stuck in tri colour mode with no USB

Plug in the cable, when "serial" becomes "USB" at bottom of bootloader screen, you're good to go. Forget you ever heard of an "activesync connection",,, it doesn't mean the activesync program, it means " USB connection"( using the activesync drivers)

Thanks again Sam, sorted that now & got HSPL4 loaded.
Need to put up another post now as stuck on the MAGLDR screen & cant get the NAND DAF to load!! I shouldn't have started this!

Use Clock Work Mode Recovery to flash your NAND Android ROM. Check my sig for a link to CWM. With CWM all you have to do is copy the .zip.file to your SD card and then use CWM to flash it. It is very easy this way. The thread on CWM will tell you how to flash it and all info need to know about it.

Thanks for that but I've only just managed to do the simpler method wrong & don't understand the CWM at all at the moment. Was just trying to get the easiest route for my first flash but after trying three NAND ROM's I get the same error after loading MAGLDR & running the DAF.exe
As MAGLDR is loading...........SS SD kernel open failed
Then after running the DAF.exe files
Happen error
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.

Go read the thread on CWM!!! As I said you just copy the .zip file of the ROM to your SFD card wich is how you download the ROM meaning you have to only download it nothing else. To copy it to your SD card use USB MassStg option #4 of MAGLDR but you have to have your phone connected to your computer via USB cable. To flash CWM connect your HD2 via USB and select the USB Flasher option #5 of MAGLDR then run the DAF of CWM. This will flash CWM to yor HD2. when your phone reboots keep the power button pressed down to get MAGLDR back up then select AD Recovery option #8 of MAGLDR. This will bring up CWM, then select "install zip from sdcard" then select "choos zip from sdcard" then find the .zip file that you just copied to your SD card and select it and it will flash the ROM. Oh yeah you have to use the send button to select each thing. Now what else do you not understand?
Look at my signature for links to MAGLDR and CWM.

Well I thought that seemed easy to understand TMac but.................
I intalled the cleandroid zip file but I guess since it didn't work you meant extract to the SD card (CWM didnt find the cleandroid zip file)? Also is there anyway of booting normally at the moment as I think I should charge the battery again after all this trying without success before I try again?
Thanks for your patience, I'm really not used to this sort of thing at all & at 54 yrs old I think I'm doing quite well!! lol

Clean droid is also my fav rom
Assuming that you are able to boot into MAGLDR screen and you have the Cleandroid rom in your PC.
Now, in MAGLDR screen, select menu no.5 (USB Flasher) and subsequently connect your phone ( Plug UsB to PC). On your PC, run the DAF.exe of Cleandroid rom.
If you succeed, it will reboot to android.
Before doing that, please make sure battery above 50 %, spl 2.08 HSPL and radio 2.15.xx were installed.
Good luck

Thanks but tried that as posted earlier & get the happen error, now I'm not sure of the battery charge so want to charge that before trying again with CWM but can't charge it from the MAGLDR screen, tried plugging into the mains & reset but what ever I do it boots into MAGLDR & no charge

Yes MAGLDR makes your phone do that. Have you been able to flash a ROM yet no? Are you making sure your going to the 'USB Flasher' in MAGLDR? Run the daf when you're there, if you're getting that error still, make sure you disable USB connections inside of ActiveSync or WMDC on Vista/7.

I would suggest you to reflash winmo from boot loader screen using micro sd in order to be able to charge battery. After that, you can retry the android flashing

Thanks - sorry if I'm a bit thick here, so does that mean I've put the phone back to original then start the whole process over again from the beginning?

You're battery should be fine while the USB is in. It won't die on you while flashing through MAGLDR. Once the USB is in.your phone it will he fine. Silly old cautious men. haha

lol Ok I'm going to try one more time then give up!!
I have tried both methods now
Tried installing 3 different NANDS without CWM using the DAF & get the happen error with all three:
Happen error
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (712)
Error Description: CONFIG: file not exist

Tried with & without WMDC running
Then tried as suggested using CWM but after getting through all stages the last bit I get CWM Recovery files not found!! I checked the SD card & the Cleandroid winrar file is there, its there zipped & now unzipped in a temp folder (which shows on the phone) & also in the root just in case..........nothing nada zippo.............files not found.
Any last ideas before I buy a Nokia?? lol
Its really frustrating, I managed to get all the way through on both routes but can't get the ROM installed either way.
Thanks

Are you able to go in to CWM by going to AD Recovery in MAGLDR? How are you trying to flash a ROM? Go in to the settings in WMDC and make sure the USB Connections is unchecked.

Sorry man did not mean to seem rude. I just wanted to make sure you tried the CWM method as it is the easiest way to me. also yes you are doing freaking awesome considering I know your age now. Not to say older folks are illiterate or stupid just some older people have a hard time grasping new new technologies. Don't worry none my friend, like member mezcal9 posted yesterday we will get you back going.
Also do you have this, striaght from the MAGLDR OP
You need radio which support 576 RAM.

Sorry Skellyyy but yoy are wrong about this statement as you have to have a ROM runing for your battery to charge. MAGLDR does not support battery charging yet.
*Fixed Power-Off-Cable-Plug-Stop. Phone now detects this situation and reboots. Battery controller inside LEO needs runtime control during charge, it implemented in OS.

[Q] Have a big problem please help

So I broke the digitizer on my HD2 and I replaced it well I ripped off the volume controls because I wasn't paying enough attention so now I am screwed because I flashed a custom rom to the phone and then I installed magldr.
Now my phone only will boot into magldr and I cannot select anything or flash anything else because I cannot scroll using the volume keys..
The cheapest I can find the part to fix my volume is $60 and I do not have it... So I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can get magldr off the phone so that it will boot back into windows it should still be there I just cant boot to it...
The other option is can I put android or windows on an sd and will magldr boot it because when it starts it gives an error about not being able to boot off the sd because i dont have a card in there...
I have searched and read and I can't find a solution for this because my volume button does not work that is really screwing me but I need my phone.
Please help!

Correct you no longer have the required fuctions to interface with MAGLDR, or boot into bootloader. Thus you can not flash Win Mo via SD card or USB, flash CWM via option#4 USB Flasher in MAGLDR, flash a Android ROM via CWM or option #4 USB Flasher, or even flash cLK (which you could use fastboot commands to flash a Android ROM to but not for the faint of heart).

Not correct, Windows Mobile is no longer on your HD2 at all. Win Mo was rcompletely removed when you flashed MAGLDR.

This I do not know for sure if it will work or not because I do not know the defualt settings for MAGLDR. If it is set to boot from SD card on boot then yes placing a SD card Android build on your SD card in theory should work. It is worth a shot. just make sure it is a MAGLDR compatible Android build, it is several of them now. Also be sure to read the instalation or booting instructions in the first 1 to 3 posts of the build thread.

HTC Does nothing after aMAGLDR V1.13 screen

Windows Phone 7 + MAGLDR V1.13
I boot up. HTC screen. Then MAGLDR V1.13 screen. Then another HTC screen (Windows Phone 7 HTC screen). It blocks there for quite some time. Then restarts. It's all it ever does. I can access MAGLDR V1.13 menu, no problem there. It was working fine yesterday =\
What can i do? Help :S

Reinstall the ROM and tell me what happens
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

What Radio have you got on your phone?
I would re-install your ROM as walidhazem suggested, but make sure that you do a task 29 first, then flash either radio 2.12.50 or 2.15.50 as these seem to be the 2 best radios for WP7.
What SD card have you got as your issue could be related to that. Do you have another SD card you could try? You could also try using SDFormatter to re-format your SD card and then try.
Let us know how you get on.

Thank you for both replies!
If the phone is connected to a power source while in the magldr screen, it charges right?
Just making sure phone could be at 50% more power or not. It's been charging all night.

as far as i remember it doesn't charge.. but even if it's less than 50% i usually do the flash.. just b sure it's not very low..

If you still have the magldr screen then boot in the rom. The reason it getting stuck is that the phone is too hot. Remove the battery for 1/2 hour then try again.
Do wait as the HTC screen is showing for a while until it loads the rom.

sudeep, how can i be sure it's not very low since i can't go the Home Screen.
FlowerPotmen, it's been charging all night, but i tried before that. It wasn't hot then. Also, i don't restart when it stops at the HTC screen. It restarts itself =\
Should i flash another rom? I'm afraid it can brick. If i'm to flash, I'll flash the WM6.5 Official.

No need to flash wm6 just use task 29, then flash-in maglder 113 again, then flash your favourite rom again. But make sure to re-format you micro sd card first.

I can't instal Windows Mobile Center since "i don't have" a Windows Mobile device. I need the Active Sync feature needed for the RUU files. Without that i can't sync Task 29 or any new rom. What can i do?

Go to bootloader and install Roms like you used to do when using ActiveSync.
(Bootloader: Power off phone > Hold volume down button and boot > when you see a tri-colour screen connect the USB and wait until "Serial" to "USB" )
^^
That was the answer to your previous post. But to answer your original question :
Restarting in WP7 is a common, incompatible sd card, issue, try to use another sd-card and reinstall WP7 again.

Guys, i managed to Flash the official rom again. I'm gonna stick with Android SD for now.
Thanks for all the help and tips. I really appreciate the help.

I had problems with spurious cables before!!

Yes it charges when booted and no it is not an official htc cable but it used to charge it before ( i had cLK and then i flashed WP7 and when i reverted to cLK it can't charge when off)

Are you using a different sdcard?
if not try a different sdcard as wp7 messes around with the sdcard which can also cause strange issues!!
Otherwise get a htc cable, 5 euro on e-bay.

What is the recovery that you use, what version?
