[q] bricked htc hd2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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.

Wing needs resuscitation

My wing died on me big time while flashing a WM6.5 ROM.
Wont turn on, wont light up at all when plugged in, wont be noticed by computer when USB'd .
I tried multiple reset tactics, but nothing gets the phone to show any signs of life.
Any help?
I figure I cant use a gold card or do anything at all if the unit wont even turn on in the slightest. I have tried a charged battery from another wing as well.... nothing.
Can you get it too boot up in bootloader mode? Press the power button while holding down the camera key until you see a 3 color bootloader screen.
Also, was your Wing HardSPL'd before you tried to flash this ROM? Which ROM was it? Did you use flash center or an RUU? More information is needed if possible.

I cannot get to the bootloader screen.
I did not have hard SPL before trying to flash.
The ROM I used was choi3es WM6.5 at the link below
http://thewingster.com/wm65.aspx
I used flash center.
Oh dang, here I was thinking you where some kind of n00b. My apoligies...well yes, it seems that you may have just had a bad flash, try hitting up the Wiki for the instructions on making a gold card...that may be the only way to fix the old girl.

Same with me. No sign of life in my Herald.
No lights even when you connected to charge (wall charger or PC), no bootloader,
Do we have any luck of recovering.
Is there any JTAG solution for Herald.

Tattoo won't boot at all. (SOLVED!)

It's happen when i try to flash the 13.29.55.13H_3.35.07.20 Baseband via Recovery. My device is Tattoo A3232.
After reboot there's a Recovery picture so i tried to remove a battery and turn on again but this time it won't boot at all. no Tattoo logo or anything. and then I tried to plug a charger and there's no charging light. and i've plug into computer and no devices found.
I don't have any clue to do now. so i just try to post this before i go to HTC Care. I really hope you guys can solve this one.
UPDATE: they've replaced a new board with the old one. Now my Tattoo is 100% health!
I know this sounds stupid, but what helped when I had a similar problem with my PC (not mobile phone) was the following: removing the power cable, waiting about 10-15 mins and then plugging it in again, then at least it booted again.
maybe if you take out the battery and wait quite a while it will at least show the tattoo logo...else there are different causes for your dilemma: a piece of hardware is now bricked, the phone ROM is damaged, memory completely wiped...don't know what is the cause of your problem - but you should pray that HTC Care will repair your device if nothing else will work
what hapens if you hold volume down button and keep it held while you power it on, you should see spl screen ??
if you do get the white screen with the 3 androids then you are good to flas an IMG file

nope, nothing appear at all. probably like TheSSJ said. I really hope they will claim the phone.
When you were putting the battery in the slot, have you placed it correctly? Please, check your battery and let us know.
and then I tried to plug a charger and there's no charging light

This happens when you incorrectly place the battery back.

Or when the device is bricked...I don't think the battery was placed incorrectly into the phone...^^
now it's been taking care by HTC Care now. hopefully they'll repair it.
good luck
good luck, i hope you get a good result without any problem because you were flashing at the point of fail.
keep us posted on this, im interested how fair they play in replacing your handset.

UPDATE:
they've replaced a new board with the old one. Now my Tattoo is 100% health! it's came with a new RUU though. 1.67.729.xx i think. not the 1.67.405.6.
and of course I already rooted and flashed fyodor custom room.

[solved] bootloader dont load

wanted to install wp7 with a clean start...so tried to task29 (doloop) with 100% success and then my tmo hd2 wont go into bootscreen what ever i do...its stuck for ever in "stick together"...i know there is no os to load...but i dont understand y cant my hd2 go intobootloader
so far i tried
with holding volume down and power key with a single tap
with holding volume down and holding power key
with holding volume down, volume up and power key with a single tap
with holding volume down and reset button
with/without sim
with/without SD
with/without plug in wall charger
with/without plug to pc via usb cable
observations...when i pull out the battery and put it back in and then connect to computer when the phone is still off....the charging indicator LED glows in orange.
when in this mode if i switch the phone on with power/end key....it doent start...i have to pull the usb out, the orange LED still glows...and if i tap the power/end key nothing happenes...i have to pullout the battery to get it to start and eventually get stuck in "stick together"..
would really appriciate if any1 can help me get my hd2 into bootloader screen...
resolved the problem myself.....hd2 is working like a charm....thanks for all your support.
How did you fix it? For other users in this position.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
SOLVED {bootloader dont loadArrow}
Here is what I did..
B4 that some background -
I used to heavily try different roms/mods and always played with android sd and nand versions…win 6.5X in multiple cooked version….
So my tmo-hd2 has been formatted/hard reseted/flashed many many times
By virtue of this….my screen died….slowly my screen touch responsiveness malfunctioned and eventually died… all hardware keys were working perfectly by the touch was dead….
During the process of screen malfunction to completely dead….made few observations to not things which might help fellow Hd2 owners…one thing is power/end key seems to be the culprit (this is my observation/belief).
Since I don’t live in US spend 100$ in changing the screen since then everything is working well…I still rig my hd2 like I always do…
Well when the wp7 was released, wanted to give a try…did this…hspl pkg 3 spl 2.08 hspl > then task 29 > and my hd2 didn’t get into bootloader at all…..i was doomed as there hd2 (after task29) didn’t hv os..
Searched for the solution everywhere and eventually nothing worked for me…I was about to give up…suddenly sometime struck my mind…wat if the power/end key is the problem….then things were positive..
I opened up my hd2 (unscrew and removed the back panel) and disconnected the connector flex rigid board (A board) of the hardware keypad from the mainboard….and pushed the battery in and pressed reset (sometime u need to plugin the usb cable to wall charged/pc to wake up the phone) and held volume down key and hopped for some miracle.
Viola saw the tricolor screen after eternity – since the back panel (not backcover) was open I help the battery to the pins and didn’t even move my fingers …run the stock rom installation and held the battery tight in place and waited to get the rom completed…the moment its 100% relaxed my fingers and reconnected the flexboard connector, re-assembled my phone and everything was back to normal…
ONE THING I LEARND FROM THIS…..HD2 IS A ROCKING PHONE AND U CAN RESURRECT IT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO IT (if at all some1 screws it with wrong radio…its officially bricked, but still it can be revived using RIFF JTAG method and rewrite boot data).
One final request pls DON’T GIVEUP ON YOUR DEVISE
Now I have wp7 running successfully and waiting for my activation code for live services

I can confirm this does work. I myself was going to give up until I found this and well thank you!

also hit thanks if u think its worth it
May I link to or rewrite and credit you with this in my guide?
interesting, two confirmations in this thread, and there's another thread where 2/3 people successfully used this method.
That whole lower right area is the Achilles Heel of this phone, keypad, screen connector and most pressed key all right in one little place.
Bring me the chief designers head on a plate!
Yes. The only downfall of the hd2. I wish it had the soft screen keys at the bottom.

yup...and the interesting thing is, i befriended an HTC engineer and got hold of multiple 'a-boards' at that time to test this out.the flex-board that reacts when we push the button.
there were multiple models/molds for HD2...may be different production lines..everything did the same job including the one which was shipped with the device..'a-board' wasnt the culprit here..the very design of having power + end call + device unlock in the same key/button is the issue.

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.

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

[Q] please help me to save my hd2

my phone hang with wite htc logo.i tride to hard reset,i faild.i could not put the device in boot loader mode.please help me. thank you
additional details please?
like what did you do before it starts to hang at boot screan, what hacks do you have installed e.e. magldr, hspl, sspl ??
those would really help
by the way you sure you cannot boot into bootloader the tri-colour screen?
To put the device into bootloader mode,
hold the volume down button and press the reset button, or else, switch off the phone (by removing battery), hold the volume down button while you switch it on. This must take you to the tricolor bootloader.
The stuck might have caused due to improper flash or something which doesn't match, a bad radio or so.
Its important for you to get into the bootloader, to flash either from Sync or SD Card.
All the best.

So, you said you cant go into bootloader mode.
How about retry it but following this way.
-Remove your battery and wait for minutes (maybe 10 minutes)
-Reinsert the battery. Dont turn it on.
-Charge your phone and check whether the phone is charging (you should check the led indicator. if it is full, the color should be green).
-After that, press volume down button and power on button at the same time (dont miss it).
-If you still cant go into bootloader mode, I would suggest you to bring it to Repair center.
Goodluck
I see, its not going into the bootloader, so can the problem be with the volume buttons? Are you sure they are functional?
Is your phone turning on, getting to the HTC logo and then turning off again by itself? This was happening to me just tonight. Just try putting the battery in the freezer for 20 minutes or so. That did the trick for me.
hello
thanks guys,i tried every thingas you said.no use.so i took the device to service center.they told me that,the only thing is to recover the phone is replacing the mother board.it is costing nearly 200 usd.

Which one was it a bad connection with your processor from overheating or machanical shock, or was it a bad NAND chip? These are the two things I was thinking as I have been following this thread.

i think it is because bad nand chip.
Was the phone functional before? What OS you had?
I've seen this on about 3-4 of the over 75 HD2's I've JTAG'ed. It's a faulty NAND chip that overheats causing this problem. Unfortunately, there is no logical fix for this.
