Hello HD2 users. i need some help from your possible experience (this might be a bit long to read, sorry)
I got a disassembled HD2 from a friend, which didn't have lcd/digitizer. I took it to a shop in my country which is an expert with htc phones (called htc solutions ). they said they will test the mainboard. if it works, they would put a digitizer and an lcd.
after a week i called back and they said the mainboard wasn't working so i took it back (still disassembled, no lcd/digitizer).
i got bored while studying for exams, so i tried assembling some stuff and testing it. apparently i connected the bottom buttons, the volume buttons, in-call mic and vibrator. i can tell that because i put a battery on the pins, plugged a usb in and it vibrated!
so i tried again... worked again.
then i hold down volume buttons, connected to usb and it was recognized. i even flashed ruu while holding battery with my hands.
then it rebooted, after some time while still connected to usb, orange led went on. after some time too, green one did (it's my other hd2 battery which was charged completely). device was recognized by pc again. i ran windows mobile device center, it showed hd2, asked to register etc...
i decided to try a custom rom, and flash worked and same thing happened.
now, in order to get activesync/wmdc to connect, the phone must completely boot right?
i asked them on their fb page, they said that it didn't work with them, and the expert said it stucked on htc screen.
and since it booted with me and connected to wmdc, then it booted right?
i couldn't test sound because i must put the back cover right? and i'm not expert, even connected the stuff inside the phone without watching tutorials/asking.
they said they can add the digitizer and lcd on my responsibility, (90$) so should i go for it?
also, does android boot if not all hardware is present? i tried to execute clrcad and haret in both roms (ruu and crossbowHD2 wm6.1), but never got adb to connect. i wanted to test clk and fastboot for android, but didn't have time
Yes Windows would need be booted but perhaps the stuck HTC screen was far enough for WMDC to recognise the device.
If it did indeed reflashed fully things sound promising.
Have you tried installing MyMobiler on your PC as allows you to view HD2 screen image on notebook, needs push file to device but can't remember if any interaction is needed on HD2 but worth a try.
Can you see your device in Windows explorer & view content of phone storage ?
Personally I would be inclined to buy a pre assembled lcd/digi combo (around 30USD)or lcd & digi separately if want save a little more & test it myself & rebuild it after reading some tutorials as will save yourself some dosh ($) if things are not 100% & should be able to resell parts to recoup outlay.
Thanks for your reply.
today before going to exams i downloaded and installed my mobiler and booted it. after connecting usb, (still on wm6,1 due to that ruu has install restriction policies for security, and wants me to confirm installation and launch of exe's afaik) my mobiler started installing on the phone automatically. and it showed the screen!
i saw that there was no sim card (cuz there was not) and pressed cancel in winmo, i got to home screen. so it works right? there's no way that pc could control the hd2 and get to homescreen if the screen is stuck on htc logo.
edit: i forgot, yes, i could browse nand or sdcard if connected from windows explorer. it seems very normal
oh, and i'm not gonna try to flash HSPL it's already flashed cz custom rom worked, and not safe at all since i have to keep holding battery with my hands for it to stay on )
Sounds good so far. Due to fact your HTC specialists don't appear to be too special I would recommend commencing with repair yourself.
Rebuilding the device with a pre built lcd/digi assembly is very easy & almost foolproof if you use this forum & research tutorials & do the job right & with a lot of care.
You will save a serious amount of cash & have the knowledge & feeling of achievement of doing the repair work yourself.
well, i can't find any digitizer or lcd replacemet in my country and can't order them, the reason i went to htc specialists.
but i'm not that sure i will come to them. if android boots fine, i might use ubuntu or make something with it
link below ship to Lebanon if you could get around ordering or have someone do it on your behalf.

well, i may know someone who could order from ebay so i might do this after all. i think i'm missing the volume buttons, but the htc solutions store would give it to me at no cost. i love these guys but they're a complete rip-off.
i will see some tutorials on xda and the internet. if i find i'm capable of assembling it, i will do it
Thanks a lot for your help and your support, ( out of thanks ) :good::highfive:
make sure you order the right one, because there are 2 types of connection:
1st plug and play, 2nd with soldering. This is a piece of cake, I repaired mine recently with use of screwdriver and knife. Youtube has good tutorials "htc hd2 disassembly"

Not an issue when replace lcd/digi as a combo as they are already paired & it always best go for the plug/socket connector type. LCD to mainboard ribbon is same on them all.
not an issue actually because i got the button board's cable cut accidently (i feel so ashamed) and 90% i'm gonna leave it for spare parts for the working leo i have
Button board is only 3 to 4USD at the most & could probably be ordered same time as screen assembly. Only really worth doing if need 2 working handsets or want sell it or something otherwise keeping as spares is worthwhile but expect first thing you will need is a working digitizer lol

Hi all,
I have a 8125 (Wizard) that I bought used with a broken LCD - I replaced the LCD with hopes of having a functional phone, but I'm not quite there...
It WAS working as a nice little PDA for a while, with the newest Cingular ROM (2.25 I believe). HOwever, I received absolutely NO signal on the radio - the little animation just constantly went like it was forever searching.
So, in my newfound expertise in flashing HTC devices, I decided to flash this to a different ROM. First, I tried the one they call Button 1.05. No bones - it'd drop connection before even going to the tri-color.
Next, I tried the SlimEdition 2.2b of WM6 (I wanted to put WM6 on it anyway, and with this old of a phone, I'm keeping away from excessive gadgets). Same deal as the Button 1.05.
On to the Faria WM6 I found in another forum. This one didn't even find my phone.
Before suggesting I try doing the flashes more than 1 time, I did.. I've been trying to flash this thing for over a month...
Additionally (and probably part of the problem), when I connect the phone to my mini-USB (no, not HTC OEM) it establishes connection about 1/3 of the time....the rest of the time I get a "USB Device not Recognized" warning from XP - I then disconnect it and reconnect it until AS4.5 sees it.
Most recently, I tried putting the Button 1.05 on again, and actually made progress...sorta...
Once I got the RUU running, I actually got it to progress to 2% before the RUU declared a connection failure. Stuck in the RUU screen, I tried all the ROM's I have on this thing, and none get past 2%.
So, NOW, I have an 8125 that's stuck in the RUU screen. I dont know what I can try next, or what might be the problem - however, if anyone knows or has spare parts they're willing to donate to science (I can afford to pay the shipping - that's about it) then I would be most grateful. My initial thoughts are bad USB port or mainboard, but I haven't a clue where to get them.
Alternatively, if I dont hear from anyone soon with good news, I will be offereing for sale 1 hardly used LCD/Digitizer combo for what I paid for it. (approx $45 USD).
Summary (long post, eh?):
1> Can I get out of the tri-color RUU screen, or did it getting to 2% and then dying effectively brick this phone?
2> Anyone have suggestions on what to replace to prevent AS4.5 (or even Windows) from misdetecting the phone when connected via USB?
3> Anyone have parts for above-mentioned repairs/replacements? I'd be most grateful....
TIA!

Follow up - next day (yes, next day)....
Apparently, the Forum Gods were watching over me as I spewed about my flashing issues......
I tried flashing it one more time, using the Slim v2 WM6 ROM....wouldn't ya know, the sunnovabatch worked....
Dunno why or what I did differently, but I dont want anyone pounding their heads trying to find an answer for this....
(I'll still take any donor phones, though...this one is 'better', but still not 'great')
Thanks for lookin!

Well, I've never replaced one myself, but it looks like it's just a few solder joints....
Can anyone confirm this? I dont want to mislead you by saying it's easy, in case it just looks easy, and really isn't.....
Also, I think I saw a thread elsewhere where someone had a bunch of the USB connectors that (s)he was selling....search here first - I'm pretty sure it'll be a better deal than you'll find on fleabay....

Hello everybody! It's samanen here, a newbie on xda. NOOOB
For first I'd like to apologize my not-so-good english, I'm 15 and from Finland so please keep the point in the problems and forget my english difficulties
Ok, splutting off and let's move to the point here
So I bought my HD2 (used) about two weeks ago, and right away tried to put WP7/android on it and sync music, contacts, videos and other stuff - but my USB connection didn't, and still doesn't work.
Ofcourse I tried reconnecting, cleaning the usb cable and port on the phone, tried another PCs and total of 10 different USB ports, another cable, Mac OS, Win7, WinXP, SyncMate, WMDC, ActiveSync, removing the battery, resetting the phone, removing SD-Card and SIM-Card, ActiveSync, Hard Disk and Faster data sync options, etc etc with no positive result. Its no fun having a mobile device with no access to put media and other stuff on it :/
Specs and facts:
HTC HD2 (aka Leo), non-T-Mobile (EU version?)
Software info:
Os Version : 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila version : 2.5.20181527.0
ROM version : 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM date : 09/29/10
Radio version : 2.15.50.14
Protocol version : 15.42.50.11U
Hardware info:
CPU : QUALCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed : 1024 Mhz
RAM size : 448MB
Flash memory size : 512MB
Enough numbers?
I think I have tried all the stuff I found here... Still no result, can't be detected on my PC. When I connect my phone to my PC, a notification pops up saying that USB device couldn't be detected/recognized, and it may be damaged. 1 second after it popped up it disappears and if I check the devices connected to the pc, there's no undetected devices anymore.. If I'm quick enough to click on the notification, it shows me what devices are connected and their situations, and I can see an undetected USB device there, but if I refresh (reopen) the window it disappears..
Also, if I use the option "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC." and connect to a PC via USB, it STILL does charge the battery. So my hypothesis is that the phone believes it's on a charger/car kit because its not getting recognized as a USB hard disk/device on my PC and still charges as it's connected to PC. Could this be possible in any way?
Also, when I got the phone and put it on the charger, CoPilot popped up every second (I closed it, it opened, etc) and I had to uncheck some option "When connected to a car kit open CoPilot automatically", so another thing there which refers to my phone being a psycho and believing its being on a charger.
I know there are people with this problem, and topics on this forum, but I think my problem is a bit different from theirs and nobody has really got an answer for this..
Then to my second problem. I can't enter Bootloader mode, or Hard Reset mode.
When I hold down the volDown button and press the bootup button, my phone either normally boots up or doesn't even boot up or show signs of booting into bootloader.
Once I got into the bootloader after dozens of tries, but as I'm stupid, I didn't write down the numbers shown there.. And now I seem not to be able to enter bootloader even after 20 tries.. Hardreset neither works. Same plan - either normally boots up or doesn't do anything. Weirdo much? Can anyone help? :/ I think I've bought an useless device..
Thanks,
samanen
Hi man! Try to flash your phone from SD card with stock ROM. Hope you will get good result! Let me know what happens!
Maybe it is your usb cable. I also can not sync with the cable that was delivered with the official carkit. It is just possible to load the device with that cable.
Your bootloader problem could be caused by broken volume buttons. I think they often get destroyed when replacing a broken touch screen. Do they work without problems inside the os?

Hai there! Thanks for your suggestion! What rom version would you recommend? I'm such a noob with these roms etc so I'd appreciate much if you/somebody could tell me what to use I will try that as soon as I find my microSD->SD adapter (Im afraid it got into vacuum cleaner as I cleaned my room ), also I have no idea how that's done but I believe there's a tutorial on xda.

I have tried 2 different cables, one from the package the previous owner provided me and another one from my dad's N97 mini. Could I be so unlucky that those cables are ones that don't work with HD2? I hope I am If you think its about the cable, what cable would you suggest me to get? Just a basic microusb cable from the electonic store? Also the previous owner told me he wiped out all the data and synced the phone before sending it to me WITH the cable provided, so.. Idk Strange.
No, my volume buttons are working great inside the os, I can adjust vol down and up well without any problems. Also my volbuttons are not sticky or feel like broken so I just don't believe that theyre damaged. Also the screen has never got damaged or repaired.
Another problem - Isn't it required to enter bootloader mode when updating the rom? :/
Thanks for both of you for your replies and suggestions, I will keep you updated if anything helps or gets clarified!
-samanen
Sorry then i can not help you. I do not think it is the cable. I bought one on amazon. It is official htc charging and syncing cable. This just came to my mind because you said that your copilot starts if you plug your phone in....
If you want to install another winmo rom you can do it when connected via active sync and it will automatically go to bootloader. If you want to install hspl for custom roms or android you have to go to bootloader for the installation.

Man, do you think they could fix this in warranty/quaranty? I have still warranty left on this one and i think I could get a new one/HD7 in return
Yeah. They must fix it if you dont damaged phone mechanically(maybe previous owner replaced screen) or you dont flash hspl magld android Leo is still The King i think. Here more opportunities than in HD7 On eBay HD7 cheaper than HD2 because WP7 os not good than android let me know whats up!

No, I've never dropped it or anything and when it came from the previous owner the usb didnt work, and he has never replaced anything on this model (his previous model was replaced to this, completely new one because his previous model stopped working with no reason).
Maybe I should contact the warranty Thanks for the answers, let's see what they can do!

I changed my old iPhone 3G 16Gb white, in terrible condition to this HD2 and paid 100€ Yeah android or WP7 would be soo super cool, the customizability is the thing why I chose HD2! It's amazing how there are still developers developing new stuff for HD2, I highly aprreciate their work
Waiting for their reply from the warranty center!

Still no reply, wow. Today I got a message that my phone will be back in two weeks. Slow service.
They also told me, that as the usb is LOOSE when you plug the cable in, it may be my fault. wow. So they're not repairing it for free i quess..
My phone is back..
Ok, got my phone back. The mohterboard has been damaged, they told me it had got wet. That's something what's not under warranty, so they're not repairing it for free. The repair would cost almost 500€ so it's totally not worth it. The report says: USB-Connectiong is loose (from other components), also injury with water in screen and motherboard.
Seems that the last owner already knew it's damaged and sold me a damaged one, as he told me it's working 100%.
So, I don't have a clue what to do next. I think I should try repairing it myself but is it worth it? Or worth trying? Where can i get the parts and tutorials how to do this? I think i gotta only repair the usb thingy but i'm not sure - I'd love to get some help now. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem and it seemed that my cable was loose. You can try repairing it by yourself (it's not under warranty) or trying different pc/cable.
Try this : go to your pc and remove USB driver from application control panel,and after reconnect hd2.
Probably us not a cable problem, but drivers problems.
Bye.

i have the same problem i can't go to bootloadr.
can any one help me How i can fix my hd2? plz
it's the screen stop on white HTC
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..;(
So I got scammed as **** yesterday, bought a HTC HD2 from this faggy kid on ebay and it turns out it doesn't work. Camera doesn't work, many buttons are laggy, some dont even work at all and the biggest issue I have is it cannot be connected to PC. I put it on my USB cable and when I run HTC Sync, says its not connected.
It's got some ****ty beta Android installed and I'd like to get WM back, but seeing as how I can't connect it to my PC, I'm out of options. Anything I can do?
Flash a wm ROM via sd card method.
Make sure you choose correct version ROM/Radio for HD2 model type.
Personally I would go for WM6.5.3 ROM from NRG (you should have HSPL already insaled if on fandroid.
Buying from eBay is a dodgy game, eBay is full of ****e from china or faulty ****e sold as working.
Does it look like screen been replaced ! i void sticker missing from under battery cover on 1 screw head ?
Get your money back and buy a decent one. I'd file a dispute through eBay if the phone wasn't as described in the listing.
First of all: relax! Your problems sound software related and that can be fixed! Can you boot the phone to bootloader (hold down vol down while turning on)? If yes then try to connect the phone to the PC - the display on the phone should change from serial to usb. If it does that it means your usb connector is ok and you should be able to flash WM
/Anders
I wouldn't play with the phone but rather file a dispute on ebay, you're under their protection . No seriously, contact ebay and ask for a refund, they'd probably ask you to send the phone back, but you'll get your money.
There's no way I can get my money back.
I'm more concerned what I could do with the phone. Seeing as how I don't have any device that supports microSD card other than this phone, I can't do the booting, but I guess I could get it from someone. Also, volume up button isn't working, though that was mentioned. Is there a guide on how to do this via memory card? I got the ROM downloaded, just not sure on what to do. Wouldn't wanna do something wrong.
Hi there,
I read you installed HTC Sync. The drivers for the HD2 are in the Windows Mobile Device centre so you need to download that. You need to install the HTC drivers 3.00.007 and uninstall the sync. Then install the Android SDK kit. This worked for me for android and windows. If this was helpful for you, just hit the thanks button!
Hey guys I'm about to buy an HD2 on ebay and it reads this description :
when you start up the phone, it stops at the first screen and freezes... or sometimes stays on black screen.
so it could be a simple fix for repairs, or use for parts.
im winning the bid so now my question is. Is this a hardware problem or like i can restore it with a new rom and see if it works.
It could be either. If you do get it, my suggestion would be to install cLk or MaGLDR to bypass the bootloader - that would be the most likely thing that would be broken if it freezes. If they do work, then your phone should be fine.
Schweet man! Congrats I bet you picked it up at a decent price too.
First get the hd2 toolkit ( this this is invaluable when it comes to getting this baby where she needs to be!)
I would task 29 and start her out from scratch! Good luck !!!
Here's the link to the HD2 toolkit.
I bought a HD2 off ebay in 09 for $80 that was in mint condition with the same issues listed. Now i've learned a lot since then but at the time i could not get it working no matter what i did. I called HTC who repairded it for free since it was still under warranty. With that said you may run into some problems fixing this but I feel if you get the phone around $150 and under and you dont get it working you should still be able to resell it and get most if not all of your money back. There has always been a demand for this model phone so i would go ahead and buy it.

that depends a lot on whats wrong, those do not bypass the bootloader as such, they extend it, if the SPL is buggered then its buggered unless you can replace it.
your issue could be a number of things, it might just need a reflash, if at all possible get it in to the original bootloader, and SD card flash an original stock ROM for that device, that will overwrite everything.
Course if you cant get the bootloader working then unless you know someone that can connect it up and reflash it your looking at sending it away
another problem could be the RAM, or NAND, several times folk have run in to problems with these getting buggered up, if so your screwed.
On a side note I would ask about screen bleeding, on second hard devices you can sometimes get a lot of leakage through the screen from the back light making lighter blobs on the screen, this is very noticeable on light or white background, dark backgrounds doesn't really show to bad but its worth asking for... good luck!
Hey thanks guys for the reply. I picked it up for 65$ it's coming today free shipping and everything. I had a HD2 before but sold it for a iPhone 4 (Horrible Decision) So I picked up another one. The thing is with this HD2 it has no Rom, Radio information in the bottom left at boot up. I'm assuming it's Task29'd right.
Once you got it, we'll be happy to help

Alright guys. Today I received my HD2 in the mail and I had one once before in the past. I bought this on Ebay claimed it was broken because it was stuck on the stick together screen I got it for 65$ and now I turned it on it was stuck there. I went to the bootloader it was SPL 2.08 and now I removed the battery but I can't get any response to turn on anymore. When I plug in a charger theres no orange led. I checked the back on the phone it looked like it was opened up before because the void label is all smashed but visible. Is it bricked? The seller said it would sometimes go stick together or stay black. I'm trying my best to turn it back on atleast to bootloader because I have no ****ing working USB to PC cable. and keep it like that till I get one. Any help?
Okay i just got it to turn on but I didn't get the chance to enter the bootloader just Stick Together. I have no clue if it's just random or the battery is going poop. I will try to get it to respond at least so I can enter the bootloader and find a working usb cable. It doesn't even say "Serial" when i enter it.
IT TOOK ME FREAKING FOREVER. But. I got it working on the bootloader with "Serial" SPL 2.10. I'm hopping this thing can stay on long enough to go get a working usb charger.

do you have anyPC- USB cables or USB mains charger.
it sounds like your first problem is the battery is dead, get it in bootloader and leave it plugged in, it takes ages but it will charge up assuming your charger is give it more than 200mA, failing that, get an external charger, to be honest with the current state of the HD2 and WP7 battery usage its worth while getting a charger an second battery any way!
