Phone hangs at white HTC Boot screen?

Hi all, I suddenly have problems flashing roms and installing cabs...
This is the case with Dutty's rom, kumars rom and a few others (topix). They install fine but after installing my applications and restoring my pim data it hangs in the white boot screen (with the HTC text and red info about rom, radio and such in the bottom left).
Even after hard resetting this seems to be the case. It boots sometimes normally, sometimes it hangs on the orange windows screen, but in the end after setting up most of the stuff hanging on the white screen again. I haven't changed any cabs since my previous roms. Could apps be the cause of these issues?
Have flashed tons of roms already, mostly SSPL and since a day or 2 I installed HSPL to do the flashing. Could that have anything to do with it? Have been using this phone for a month and a half I think without any problems.
Going to flash one last time for tonight (work calling again in a few hrs :/) and only restore pim data to see how that goes...

Maybe your card is kind of "critical", making the flash kind of bad?
Didn´t have any issues with either Dutty´s, nor with topix...

Hmmm, my card? I flash from the pc... No card is used, also flashed the last time without sd card in it.
I also have flashed topix and dutys before and had no problems at all, I suddenly got issues after flashing Kumars rom (not blaming it! Plenty of ppl very happy with it!) and after that the same with others...
Meh, waiting for the sms-hotfix to finish installing now. Just finished flashing again and restoring data (and installing a few cabs). Hopefully I can actually start using it again, at least until the weekend.

I think what he means is try to reformat your card. Even though you flash with PC some of the newer HTC Sense with Documents tab write and read data from the storage card. If it is corrupted or bad it can cause a lot of problems.
I have had this happen twice in the past and the format cleared the problem.

Ah ok, haven't installed the versions with the document tab though but worth a try I guess.
Otherwise I'll reflash the Turkish 1.61 WWE (or was it the t-mobile 2.01 version) rom again and reflash roms from there. Perhaps I'll flash with the SSPL again to see if that makes a difference.
Phone still working for now, hardly installed anything and just restored pim data. Guess I'll leave it like that for now :/

Hmmm, I now flashed a firmware using the SD card method and that seems to have worked fine... Hope it's fixed now.

I encounter similar problem like you did .....
Apparently .... it doesn't always happen.
But when it happens .... it just keep stucked at the white boot up screen.
So end up I have to flashed the new ROM again.

How do you go about reformating the microSD? Reformat from HD2 or from PC?

happened to me too...a few times! a even ended up with a hard reset (not voluntary!)

This has been happening to me quite frequently. I am not sure why this is happening. I am flashing Stock ROM and try to flash the Cooked ones.
I DO NOT want to go the Mitty way and screw up my device if something goes wrong. So I hope the Stock flash would help me this time around. I just flashed the 1.66 Stock ROM and am planning to flash Dutty's 1.3 WWE to see how it goes. Hope this would fix the issue.
I guess my device is taking the hit with the ROM flashings. Got to rest my baby with a stable ROM for a while.

MTTY is a mess. do not touch it.
flashing a stock ROM didn't helped me. maybe the SD card is to blame...hope so!

Excellent choice. This is what I did to refresh my HD2 from all the flashing in the past 4 days:
1. Flash back to the Shipped ROM (hopefully you have a copy of the shipped ROM, someone posted a link to the thread here somewhere)
Important!!! Make sure you have the RIGHT Shipped ROM. I made a mistake thinking my ROM was WWE Europe when it was WWE Asia. Got an error flashing (since it was looking for the right CID, etc.) but I got it sorted out. (I couldn't even get to the white htc splash... only bootloader mode)
2. Flashing to the shipped ROM apparently triggers a "task 28" like MTTY state, restoring your HD2 to stock (formatting, etc.)
3. Now that your back to Stock, re-run HSPL
4. Download you favorite Cooked ROM and start Flashing like Day 1
Optional Step 5. When you've found the ROM you plan to stick with Then my customizations begin (Manila tweaks, Reg Tweaks, App Tweaks, App Installs, etc.) (I am currently on a very stable Cooked ROM... YMMV of course...)
Optional Step 6. Backup using SPB or Sprite and keep backup handy so when I need to reflash or hard reset (assuming its the same ROM or maybe a slight upgrade) I just run my backup and get back up and running in no time.
Happy Flashing everyone!

[Q] android stop working

Okay this is my first ever thread so pls dont bash on where its posted. So the problem is, is that my android on hd2 would stop working after I reboot my phone. Idk why but it just hangs at the boot screen, which is white and has HTC on it. This has happened with every android rom I use and I can't even find answers when I google the problem. I'm using the htc energy rom and a 32gb sd card.

Strange i have exaclty the same! i updated to MccM HD 3Beta two days ago. Ill try another now and see what happpen

Questions belong in the Q&A Forum
No bashing just a friendly bit of advise for future reference.
Mark.

I've been going through different android roms and everytime I reboot into the wm energy rom I can't boot back into android. At this point I'm afraid to turn of my hd2, but I need to so I can recalibrate my battery stat.

Yea u need to provide more details so we can help u.

I’m using HTC HD2 T-mobile v and also I have the same problem,
What kind of details will help u?
=P
Android was smoothly worked before the problem.
And I feel it was not stable with the SD card, for example i put some files on it by using the USB and after I check them from the phone not all are there.
And the problem began when the android said "save remove for SD card"
After second it shakes. I remove the battery to reboot it and it is just can't complete booting to android. It is stop at HTC white start screen.

For me the same,
I use a Android rom and when I launch Android, it doesn't leave the HTC screen. I kept it running all night long, but it didn't work. All my contact and text messages are in Android and now I can't reach them anymore, what should I do?

i make a temporary Solution =P
i replace all the "SDcard/Android" files except "data.img"
because "data.img" contain all data we build
try it and give me ur feed back ^_^

I have problem booting to andriod too, since yesterday morning, i was using android, the screen was freeze, so i restarted the phone and reboot to android. So as usual, i went to the android folder and trying to boot to android, then i got this error message "The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannt be found. If the proble persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea why this happened all in a sudden. so I've tried many times and restarted my phone to see if it would help, but it didn't. then I thought maybe the android wasn't updated, so I went back to the forum and found the updated version, but mine was discontiuned. I downloaded a new build and I erased everything on my SD card and gave it a try, but the same thing still happen. I still got that error message. would anyone know why? I'm desparated to go back to android.

[Q] bricked tmous hd2 from freezing android?

hi all, long time viewer first time poster, i have been reading many post on the net trying to find a definite answer on my tmous hd2 but with no luck. My problem started when i was running android (sandisk mirco sd, yes i know the incompatibility issues, it came with the phone). I was playing music through headphones while charging and suddenly the phone froze with a buzzing sound until i battery flipped, first thing it did when i started it back up again is vibrate approximately 5 times at boot flash screen (indicating excessive heat?), so i battery flipped again and waited 10 mins then i tried to start again and it just froze at boot screen, it would keep doing this and every now and then it will boot to wm, but sooner or later it will freeze in wm and then have booting problems, its still doing this today after doing all the following: 1.flash another custom rom. 2.flashed another radio. 3.task 29. 4. flashed stock rom & radio. 5. flashed nandroid 6.tried different capacity and brand sd cards & none at all.
I now have a hd7 because I couldnt fix it and didnt want to shed the cash they are still asking for a hd2, but i do want to fix the phone to play around more with it, i did look at the possible solution unbrick with jtag thread but im thinking the phone is perma bricked, when it was working it has had alot of custom rom flashes so i dont know if that makes much a difference but i would greatly appreciate some advice, THANKYOU XDA FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Please mention your RADIO, HSPL and the last Android Rom in which this happened!

If your phone is booting, it's not bricked. Did you try another SD card? Have you tried doing a low level format on your SD card? If it were me I'd Format the SD card with an adapter on my PC, low level. Then I would put it back in the phone then run Task29. Then flash MAGLDR 1.1. Then Flash the CMY 1.4n Desire HD Nand build in the HD2 Nand Android Development forum. It's the most stable Nand build up there right now.
I would use the 2.15 radio that comes with the newest Tmobile ROM. You might have to download the 3.14 ROM from Tmobile and flash it first to get the Radio in there. Then Task29 after that. MAGLDR, Then the NAND build. Make sure you find the Task29.exe that doesn't have a radio paired with it. it's on this site somewhere.

hd2 running MIUI freezing up too
I'm a complete noob here so bare with me. I'm currently experiencing the same probs as lewy255 with the hd2 freezing up. It happens every now and then when I'm accessing certain apps. When the hd2 does freeze up, i have to take the battery out, wait, then boot up again. Once it tries to boot up it freezes on magldr, then i got to take out the battery again, wait, then power it on again. It seemed to happen when i first rooted my hd2. The first ROM i flashed after rooting was typhoon CM7. Currently have:
HSPL 2.08
radio 2.15.50.14
MIUI version: 1.5.27
I hope this isnt a hardware issue cause i bought this phone from one of my friends and he didn't have the receipt. Please advise on what i can do to fix this freezing issue.
Thanks

Sounds like cpu overheat freeze. When you were playing music and charging it the first time it froze, was the phone and/or battery hot?
It's very possible that it got too hot once, and now the cpu its self gets too hot much easier now that it has already happened once.

Cpu overheat freeze? So its a hardware issue? What if I ran task29, and reinstalled magldr, clockworkMod, and then MIUI, do u think that would fix the freezing issue?

No I do not think that will help your situation. I think your HD2 is starting to show signs of hardware break down. More specifically a breakdown in the connection of the processor and the main board. The only permanent if this is the case is to replace the main board.

t-mac
I tried installing setCPU and adjusted the temperature setting so if got too hot then the speed of the phone would be reduced, but still no luck.
What if i unrooted the phone and put everything back to stock? I think that way i will know for sure that its a hardware issue. I dont know much about phones but your probably right. I'll try running task29 and reinstall everything and see if that works, if not then i will un-root and put everything back to stock and test.

Is it an undervolted kernel? Might cause problems, but I'm with mac here on it being a hardware problem, since you flashed back to winmo stock and you still had problems.

i have same problem with miui roms. I think this problem is about Miui Roms. Miui developers must solve this issue, there is no way..

in my opinion and its just my opinion, but you should flash a winmo 6.5 build than boot android from sd its safer because theres no need to worry about battery dying in magldr. and if theres a nand rom you want to try out i suggest using port a droid. im using now with the new nexus 2.8 with a 1gb data.img and it runs great plus i have 3 other builds on there also.

Nothing works

So I have 2 hd2 phones one of witch I'm able to run nand based android on just fine. The other one witch I installed everything on just the same has serious booting problems.
I install hspl3 and cwm onto it than flash android. Than it either freezes at cwm screen or loads android and freezes there. Sometimes it will repeatedly reboot. I've done both hard and soft resets, I've also reinstalled the original rom back on it with the same results.
Is there anything someone might suggest that can help me out, or should I trash the phone? Any help would be nice.
Also before flaming me I have done alot of research and nothing I read and try seems to work. That's why I decided to finally post asking for help
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

did you task29?

That is something I haven't done. Mostly because I don't even know what it is. Or how to do it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It's like formatting the NAND storage, give you a clean plate with no residue left behind from previous flashes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781

So i ran task 29 and i'm still having problems.. as of rightnow phone keeps getting stuck on the 3rd loading screen. rebooted the phone 3 of 4 times and still having the same issues
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Once you have run Taks29 you need to install a ROM, as task29 wipes the ROM area.
The best option is to flash a stock ROM (preferably not the 3.14 version, as you want to install Nandroid). Please make sure you do one allowed on your phone.
Once this is done, test the phone to make sure that there is no hardware issues.
It is advisable not to have the SD Card in the phone incase that could be faulty.

Location kills my device (on multiple OSs)

So I was using WP7 and whenever I turned on any navigation app (including Bing, which accesses location) the device would freeze and reboot.
I thought it was a WP7 issue and reinstalled Android, and to my surprise, as soon as I tried to use a location-based service (Waze in this case) my device froze and rebooted.
So I'm guessing my GPS Antenna is pooched. Any idea how to better diagnose and/or fix this problem?

That's strange, definitely something up with the inner contents of your phone, try flashing a different Android rom and see if the problem persists? It would help if you told us specifically which wp7 and Android roms you flashed.
Regards,
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium

I'm pretty sure it's HW issue because the symptoms are identical to the sound it makes when it freezes.
The WP7 Rom was Pdaimatejam, current Android ROM is IceCreamTosti v0.11 with Dorinmax Kernel.

Mate switch back to WM 6.5 and do a clean install
Before that try a task 29 or changing your radio
If nothing works, well then your radio must be pooched
Reverting to WM 6.5 does solve a few lame problems
P.S. please can I use your sign ? I <3 IT

I'll try it as a last resort, although I DID do a Task29 already.
Thanks for the tip.
You can use my sig, sure
Ah, well. It's my birthday this week and I've been eyeing the HTC One X, what a better opportunity to upgrade
Update: Full Task29 (No Radio) + Installed WM6.5. To make sure, I started Google Maps and checked that it works, it got some satellites and actually worked!! (gave it about 5 minutes to make sure).
Then I Installed CLK over it + Recovery Wipe + Installed Android over it, now testing Waze.
So far so good. I'll have to give it a driving test, but so far looks like it's at least a little better.
Thanks for the tip again!
