Hoping someone reads this, seeing this is an old phone. I know how to use the HD mini, and change just frustrates me.
The micro usb port on the phone broke, I ordered a new usb port and managed to damage the motherboard trying to change it.
Anyhow I found a new motherboard on ebay for a fiver, the new motherboard is branded O2. I tried to flash the ROM with OEM HTC ROM, say vendor protected.
Do I need to pay to unlock the phone to install the HTC ROM?

Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble to get my X01HT's loose keyboard repaired by Softbank in Japan. My device is under warranty but they said HTC refused to repair it because I installed some software (they just mentioned that my device was in English) - I only have Asukal's MUI running on it. They weren't specific, so I did a hard reset right in front of the attendant and told her that it was restored to factory's default, so she took it back and sent to repair one more time.
My concern is that I installed an extended rom that I got from this forum and I didn't know how to remove it, so just after the hard reset the extended rom installed some stuff. Just in case, can you guys tell me how to remove the extended rom stuff that I installed? If SB tells me they can't fix my phone again, then I intend to delete that extended rom files and try another hard reset to have my pretty loose keyboard fixed.
I also unlocked SIM with Pof's solution but I don't think that's a problem regarding warranty. CID? Nope, I haven't done anything about it, yet.
Soon I want to upgrade it to WM6 in order to use SDHC 6GB and really have it SIM free, because, though I unlocked the SIM, SB's rom still locked a SIM from France for instance, I haven't tried other SIMs but for sure they're gonna be locked. damn
Tks for reading me and in advance tks heaps for your help!

No answers???
It's been a week that I posted and got no answers...
HTC will not repair your device since you are not running the htc software. When you flash another rom you void your warranty. There are ways to reflash to an original rom version. Please refer to the wiki for this.
Ok so I bought a HTC HD2 unlocked for AT&T as a christmas present the other day. It had android on it when i got it.(This is why i purchased used) but then an error came up and said my memory card was damaged but it allowed me to use the WINMO File explorer and everything but it only said it was damaged on the anroid rom. I need to find another decent mod so i can put it on there before i give the present to my gf. Im new to this so i dont really know much besides what it tells me so can i have some help please?
Hi There,
I have an HTC HD2 T-mobile USA. I was dumb enough to flash the "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50. 07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship" into my phone and now it is dead.
I read in some previous posts that I could try to SD-card-flash the stock ROM2.13 (under 4G card, changing extensions and renaming the file, entering the Bootloader, etc.).
I could not find a "stick" post with step-by-step instructions. For instance, I need to know more on how to access the Boot-loader on the HD2
Is there anybody out there that tried this method with success? Replies to previous post are unclear on that.
Thanks
K

Can you tell me more about the Jtag process? Is it possible for me to do on my own?
Please, advise.
Thank you

Honestly, not to seem like a douche...but if you bricked your HD2 by flashing an incompatible ROM, after all of the warnings and such that are everywhere about the .51 radios, I think that JTAG'ing is a little out of your range of skill. It involves takeing your device completly apart, soldering 5-ish tiny wires to tiny pads, and then reflashing the original SPL to your motherboard...not an easy task by any means. I would phone up HTC or T-Mobile and see what they say about warranty/repair.
Before you send your phone away to HTC or try to get your phone company to replace it, try here:

My very first flash went badly, I think due to a bad usb cable, and this was my only way out.
If this works, you'll be stuck on the test rom, but it is fully functional and still can be customised just about as much as any cooked rom, with a little time and effort.
Best of luck!
Virgin mobile recently replaced my HTC HD2 handset as the screen had completely frozen (after 11 months into my contract) despite soft reset, hard reset, reset to factory default and rom upgrade.
However, the rom version of the replacement handset which is a re-conditioned handset (not brand new as they were out of stock) is only 1.66.351.1 whilst the rom version of my first phone had been upgraded to 3.14.405.2.
When i enter the serial no. of the replacement handset into the HTC website, it says that the rom upgrade is n't suitable for that device ?
Although using the original rom is n't really a problem, the voice / sound of the co-pilot application which i had bought and worked fine on my first phone does n't seem to work and the twiitter app (mo-tweets) which i used on my first phone also crashes after 10 seconds of use.
Apparently later roms are supposed to be more stable and less buggy ?
Has anyone else had this problem on the HTC website of serial no's not being suitable for their HD2 handset - someone suggested that i could use my old serial number but i was afraid that it my invalidate my warranty?
From the sounds of it (someone correct me if I'm wrong) your replacement phone is branded or possibly foreign, so the ROM you're trying to download isn't suitable.
I take it there's nothing in the apps list suggesting branding of any type?
You can either try downloading some of the branded ROMs to see if you can find one which works, that will tell you what brand it's locked to.
I'm on O2 for instance, and they've yet to release a 3.14 ROM so I can't download anything higher than the O2 1.72 ROM from HTC.
I have however got hold of the generic 3.14 ROM and use the goldcard technique to load it onto my handset.
it means the handset it locked to a specific network and not unbranded so thats why you cannot use the htc site to download
thanks to both of you for your replies. I had read that some providers (O2 and Vodafone) HD2's were locked but virgin HD2 were not, indeed my original HD2 allowed the latest rom (i've still got a copy of it on my laptop).
I just don't understand why Virgin have locked the replacement (maybe because it was re-conditioned and not brand new, or perhaps its because i only have 6 months left on the contract perhaps ?)
I've also read other people who used 'other people's' serial numbers to download the rom update's from the HTC website. So, when i asked HTC support if i was allowed to used rom update that i had previously downloaded, they initially replied yes, but when i mentioned that the serial no. of the replacement gave a 'un-suitable for your device' response they asked me to call them up (rather than respond in writing)
do anyone know if i attempted to install the latest (3.14) rom onto my replacement HD2 whether ;-
a. it will actually damage the phone ?
b. whether it invalidates the HTC warranty (as the 1 year warranty from virgin runs out this month - but the HTC warranty will run for another year - although i don't want to not use Co-pilot and mo-tweets for a year)

If you can not get to the multicolor bootloader screen by holding down the volume down button wbile your HD2 is booting up then sorry to tell you, your HD2 is bricked. Only using JTAG and a RIFFBOX can save it. Or replacing the mainboard will save it.
Sorry I just reread your post you installed radio version 2.04.50.22 to your HD2. This and any radio version 2.05.50.xx were the radio ersions used in the test tom's for the TMOUS HD2 but were still used in regular HD2's so any of the radio version 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx will brick a TMOUS HD2 just like any radio version x.xx.51.xx. Sorry bit I know for sure .ow your HD2 is bricked and like I said JTAG or replace your mainboard is the only way to revive it.

First off reread my first post as I edited it. Secound you will need a HTC HD2 JTAG make sure you get tbd solderless one, and a RIFFBOX to connect to the JTAG. You will need the cables to connect the RIFFBOX to the JTAG and to your computer. You will also need a smal hex head screwdriver to take your HD2 apart with. You will have to google to find the software you need or it might come with the RIFFBOX i do not know as I have never done it and I only know the tools you need to do it. Best of luck friend.

You can order the JTAG and RIFFBOX online. here is a link to a site that has them, but I wdjibouti you the RIFFBOX will cost you.
http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,7912,menu_mode,categories.html
Tht link will take you straight to the JTAG but look around some on that site and you will find a RIFFBOX with all the cables included.
Also there is a couple of members here on XDA that can do this for you if you are willing to pay shipping and handling to send them your HD2 plus a small fee for them of course. But it is still cheaper than buying it yourself. Here are two threads you can check out.

No this will not work for you as you have a truly bricked HD2 and can not get to boorloader. A lot of people here have a missconception about what a bricked HD2 is. If you can not get to bootloader you have a bricked HD2,if you can still get to bootloader then the HD2 is not bricked. What that thread is talking about is not a truly bricked HD2, it is a HD2 that either bas a noncompatible ROM are bad a bad ROM flash.Trust me trying the steps in that thread will do you no good.
