My Touch HD is borked

Hey all,
I updated my Touch HD to the latest update off the website, but now my screen is green and I get absolytely no reception. Does anyone know whats going on?
I dont want anything fancy. Just a working phone...

also, i will hook someone up $50, via paypal if you can help me fix this ****. Just PM me. Thx.

Link
A resource thread on the latest HTC upgrade ROM.
Many people, myself included had the green screen/sluggish performance problem.
It is solved by:
1) Flashing back to the original ROM
2) Flashing back to the original SPL
3) Using USPL to flash the new update ROM
Details are fully explained in the thread I linked to above. I suggest reading it thoroughly before doing anything.
Hopefully this fixes your problem. Please pop back if you have any problems or you've solved it!

Well, you have just flashed your HTC Touch HD with the latest HTC ROM from their website from the sounds of it.
I suggest reading that thread. I would consider myself a Novice at this but it is quite easily explained and will probably take you no longer than 1 hour to read, understand and do.

I just dont understand why HTC would publicly release an update that would **** up your phone?
I dont want to learn how to program this ****, I just want to run an update and have it work...soooo frustrating!!!!!!!

like, if someone can hold my hand and help me with this, I will seriously pay you...

Its not HTC who "****ed up" your phone, but it was you! You have installed HSPL, which isn't compatible with the latest rom. Its not HTC fault at all.
So, try to get back to the stock spl, then flash the rom again. You shouldn't experience this green screen problem any longer then.
All questions regarding this problem were already answered, so just read through the various threads, take some time, and you will get it.

Messaging Bug

Has anyone else found the messaging app to be extremly buggy? I have the stock ATT rom and haven't made any major mods to it. It's constantly freezing, the text input field is always hidden, etc. Is there a fix somewhere? At this point I'm even willing to pay for an app, but I can't find any. SMS chat doesnt work with 6.5.
Please and thanks for any help!

Thanks! If that works, you will be me hero!

will this work for TMO custom ROM?
thanks in advance

I'm inexperienced with custom ROMs, but I think its a 50/50 chance. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work you can simply unistall it. Everything will be like before. That's the beauty of CABs.

no luck
not compatible with system.

did you get the error before installation? if so, my guess is htc put in a check to see what rom ur running so the fix cant install on another device. maybe a good dev here can decompile the cab and remove the check/block.

cannot d/l from htc site....

Just got around to installing this. My messaging app wasn't giving me much trouble prior to now, so i just installed it. It froze right when I opened the first message and backed out. Just tried again and it froze again. Way to go HTC.

nice job avoiding telling anyone which rom, always adds nicely to the challenge of problem solving when we dont know.

Need help to unbrick note 4!!

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot

now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out. I didn't feel the need to write out a really long response if he already got his phone fixed. He was the only other person that had the same problem as me. I'll gladly right out all the steps once I get home and get the time.

You have team win recovery correct? Your phone keeps going into boot loop?

I think you're missing my point and the purpose of XDA. He's the only one that responded, but they could be 5 more. Your fix may help someone else tomorrow or a month from now. It will be nice in the spirit of sharing (XDA) once you find a fix to post it in case someone else needs it. I personally benefited from the one below and I was about to post it as possible fix. Thanks in advance and welcome to XDA. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70652492&postcount=10

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know

(DO BACK UP FIRST) Don't just flash random zips from strangers!
If All else fails I mean there is plenty of fm radio apps?
Incidentally we are just one kind happy family . Right guys.... Right?
