[Q] Hd2 freezes at startup, what to do? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday i put my hd2 in my pocket without locking the screen. when i heard it surfing around the menues i took it back up and tried to take it back to homescreen. As many times before the phone refused to respond so i took out the battery. But when powering it back on the **** wont pass the htc startup-screen!
I have read around this forum quite alot now and i have done hard reset a million times, i have installed an original updated rom from htc`s site. When this didn`t work i installed hspl3, Artemis v270 NOR and RADIO_2.07.51.22_2. And it still wont start!
Im getting quite sick of experimenting, so i`d be really happy if any of you smartguys could help me

Flash a radio that does not have ".51" in the name. Flash a radio that has ".50" instead. ***Make sure the ".50" radio is 2.06+ (don't flash anything below 2.06.50.xx).

Okay, thanks for your reply But i still cant make it work, are you sure its the radio causing this problem? I`ve now tried RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 (this is the only one with "50" in it among the recomended radios in the artemis thread...) , RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and the mentioned above RADIO_2.07.51.22_2.7z.
Should i just keep going?
One more thing. When 2.12 and 2.10 was installed, the phone restarted by its self after about 30-60 sec on htc bootscreen. if that means anything?

It's usually the radio that's the problem -- if your phone gets stuck on the bootscreen.
I'm not sure what else might be the problem.
Just in case, try this: Task 29, flash a .50 radio, flash a stock ROM (via USB), hard-reset.
If that fails, I don't know what else to say...

i tried the task 29 witout luck A couple more weird things though.. when i try to install a rom from the memory card, the bootloader doesn`t start the installation. I just says "serial". And Yes its formated with fat32 and im sure im doing it right. The other thing is that the phone starts by itself about 60sec after plugging in the charger.. i`m guessing this have to be a hardware problem. might be the usb connector as many seem to have problems with.
I`ve now put in a stock spl and will send it back for repair tomorrow.

Dammit, hspl i still there. Is the only way to remvoe it by using the sd-card? then i might be fu..ed regarding the warranty :S

I think so. Someone with more experience might be able to provide a more confident answer.
Are you sure you're renaming the ROM as "LEOIMG.nbh" (no quotes) and putting it in the root of the SD-card?

Hello dude!
Try using a microSD smaller than 8gb and formated with FAT32 (it's a known fact that 16gb microSD does not work for flashing.....).
If you want to remove the HSPL there is 2 ways:
1 - Flash a stockROM via SDcard, like you are trying to do.
OR
2 - Use the HSPL2 program to revert to the original SPL state.
If you could enter the bootloader, probably your phone does not need any special repairs.. Anyway.......
Try using a smaller SDcard to flash the radio and the ROM again. You could also try flashing via USB/PC.....
Do not forget to redownload the ROM, it could be a "bad download".
For more info take a look here:

maybe a fix

hello guys,
someone at htcedia posted this fixes:
1) Install you HSPL.
2) Install your cooked rom.
3) Upgrade your radio. (Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26)
4) Do Hard reset. (Hold Vol up and down also end call button) then press (Red reset button under back cover next to battery)
Fixes Freezing on HTC bootup screen.
and for me, when i remove the micro sd card the phone bootup but when the micro sd card is in the phone it wont.
so try to remove the micro sd card then reset a hard or soft reset ur device, keep ur micro sd out until ur r completely loaded, then put ur sd card back in the phone.

Press and Hold the volume down key then push the reset button. When you see the tricolored screen, you can re-flash to a new ROM from there... just by launching a new flash.
thanks for responding yea i tried that i even reinstalled the energy rom but it still wont go past the splash
try flashing from you sd card, search flashing from sd card or something like that. I belive you have to format it in 32 mode and then take the rom "raphimg.nbh"(not exact spelling or proper spelling I beleive some of that has to be in capitals) sorry to here your phone is down. Try that and post your results.
Format the card FAT32. Place a rom on the card & rename the rom to RAPHIMG.nbh.
Put the SD Card in the slot & hold volume down & reset. Press the power button when instructed to do so on the screen.
thanks guys for ur help but i keep getting no image file then it says serial i formated the card and everything

Try a different microSD. Also be sure that you did a full format not a quick format. I had an issue with a few microSD cards, but I like my 2GB PNY for flashing my phone via microSD.
I had the exact same issue after flashing the latest energy 3 rom
heres what i did
1. Reflashed Hard SPL
2. Flashed a stock HTC ROM, i managed to do this from my PC by manually entering the bootloader.
3. Did a hard reset
4. Let phone complete initial setup
5. Reflashed Hard SPL - Read somewhere that sock roms may overwrite \ partially overwrite Hard SPL
6. Flashed an Energy 2 ROM (only cause i wanted to check something out in it anyway)
So far its all looking good

good to see you back, ive had similar issues with a my 16GB and 8GB aswell a few times i think its due to some corruption beeing made to the filesystem when we disconnect it to soon form the pc (using it as disc-drive) thats kinda the same thing that happens when u disconnect a usb-harddrive in windows while its in use by windows and tries to connect it with linux.
a really good disc-repair tool i stumbled upon is located here
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
and just to make sure its done right as gsleon3 said, do as he said and make sure that you take the you take the ruu_signed.nbh and rename that to raphimg.nbh (not sure if it has to be in CAPS, im pretty sure ive done it like this RAPHimg.nbh lots of time)
...monx, it would be great to have you back cooking wonderful stew

[Q] HD2 Bricked??? after task29

hello folks,
first off thanks to all the people who help make this forum better and better.
have used you're help a few times especially trying to flash a rom. but now there's a problem... I've installed artemis Rom a couple of times but I wanted the newest so I've downloaded it, flashed my hd2 with task29 like always. pressed vol. down button it restarted until white boot screen. ok, possible, so I reset it and press vol. down again. but still white boot screen. after trying it for 70(!) times. I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!
Info:
Cotulla hspl 1.42.00
Task29 by dooloop performed( got stuck after that)
Rom Artemis. 31.5 (current) 35.1 (wanted to install.
Thanks In Advance
Maajelvv
Two possibility's;
Tray to do a hard reset,
Ore tray to install Stock Rom!
tried hard reset. (pulled out battery waited 20 sec. then put it back in. pressed vol. down and power button.) didn't work for 30 times...
have put leoimg.nbh on sd card. but can't get to the tri-colour bootloader so can't install anything...
Thanks for you quick response by the way.
If I get into bootloader there should be no problem but I can't get there :S
I'm out off Idea; tray to send Sir Sternas a PM with your question, maybe he get some Ideas; ore tray to ask this question on the Artemis Thread, there are also helpful peoples out there!
Edit; I just add your question on the Artemis thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450678#post8450678
you haven't made hard reset. if you wont to do hard reset you have to press both volume buttons and then pres power buton ( or press red button near batery ).
also try to make a goldimage ( search the forum ).

As Luka1111 said, you haven't done a hard reset. Check this out:

Dmm;
That I didn't see/read it correctly the way he did a hard reset??
I think it is HSPL 1.42 or an old RADIO-ROM.
System specs for Artemis are SPL 1.66 or above and RADIO 2.07.51.22_2 or above.
Install newest Stock ROM with the mentioned versions or flash HSPL and RADIO manually.

Sorry, have not read you can't access tricolor bootloader. Have you tried without SIM and SD? If not try to flash HSPL and RADIO without SIM and SD.

What´s the size of your SD-Card? Flashing from SD works only with max. 8 GB - Card, 16 GB or more won´t work! (Own experience!)
Can you connect your device to ActiveSync? Or otherwise stated: What happens when you connect your device to your PC? Does ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center even startup?
BTW, what happens when you start your device now? Does it hang or just load your old Artemis version??

Hi Uli,
the poor man cannot enter bootloader mode and, as I understand from his posts, not connect to his PC. So how can he flash HSPL and/or Radio? There must be something fundamentally wrong with his device, but I also had a similar problem a few weeks ago and, although it took a lot of time, I managed to get it to work again.
BTW, as I already mentioned SPL 1.42 is not the problem.

Hey Kuzibri, You are absoluteley right. I get no connection true active sync or anything. I'm pretty sure there's something really wrong here. never had this problem before. btw I've mistaken with
my spl version. it's the one Sir Sternas recommended. Spl 1.66 HSPL.
I'm Really confused right now. and Pissed off at the same time...
I mean I loved my HD2 with Artemis Rom close to beeing perfect.( installed Igo8 witch right before I went on holliday, stopped working but mannaged to get TomTom navi to work ) then suddenly my answer button stopped working. so I figured let's install a new Version of Artemis rom. I backed up all my files using microsoft my phone. then used task29. done. So I tried to get to the bootloader.... Nothing. tried attatching it to the pc and hoping it would start if I pressed the custom rom .exe (Read somewhere id might work) Nothing not even a blank screen for startup. now I've got nothing else I can think of. please, U guys have given me so much good suggestions.

Hey guys,
maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?
If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.
Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.

Uli

I've thought about the fact that it might be broken but it worked right before flashing....
thanks for your efforts though..

As I already mentioned, this poor guy has a major problem with his device, which seems to be hardware related (either volume down button does not work or the on/off key). After having extensive contact with him by phone, the only solution seems to be to bring it back to the store to let it repair. Unfortunately, he will have a great chance to loose his warranty, because HTC probably will be able to found that there is another ROM installed. Whish Maarten good luck with his problem!! Also very sorry I could not help you to solve your problem. I'm personally very disappointed by that!

[Q] HTC HD2 freeze on startup

Hello guys i have a problem with my HTC HD2.
I have searched a lot on this site before posting my problem.
This is what happens and what i did:
The phone doesn't pass the white HTC screen with the RGD letters below.
What i have tried:
HSPL 2.08.HSPL, 1.66, 1.42, 2.08.000
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.08.50.05, Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
Roms: Stock Vodafone (Dutch) rom, Energy rom
Hard reset (vol up +down on startup).
Tried task 29 and started everything all over again
I went to the a phone store, they couldnt help me. Afterwards i went to the official store but i don't have my receipt anymore so i don't have a warranty..
So i think i have tried everything i could find on this forum. Tried most of the HSPL versions with diferent roms. But all of them stay on the startup screen (white htc start screen)
If someone can help me please, this is really my last chance
Thanks,
Issam
ps. i hope this is the good section to post this problem.
Well the phone starts up now (it actually works for a few minutes!). I haven't changed anything, the only thing i did is leave the battery out for like 1 hour. But everytime i start up the phone it freezes and / or turns of after 1 min or something. Sometimes it doesn't even boot up like the usual problem, but then i remove the battery for 10 minutes and it boots normal again.
So i really don't have a clue
i was experimenting all day again with my htc.
What i found out was, the longer i keep my battery out of the phone the longer i can use it.
For example: I had the battery out of the phone for about 2 hours, when I put it back in i could use it for like 10 minutes.
But when i keep the battery out for 10 minutes it freezes within 1 minute.
Maybe this will help me get the solution to this problem.
I would format the sd card just in case, also make sure you have the correct versions of what you need, rom raido ect, because theres two types of HD2s, hope this helps!!
Thanks for the reply, i tried formatting the SD card and i succeeded doing it 5 times i think. I think i have the correct version of rom and radio, how do i know?

You should remove hspl , and after that install the latest rom available on htc site for your device (download the rom from htc site, with your serial number ) . Official roms have included radio inside of them. If HSPL is removed and you have again problems with your device with an official rom installed, then you have a hardware problem. You could try to boot up without sd card installed, to see if the card is the problem.
Thank you,
I will try removing HSPL and install the original ROM from the HTC site. I'll let you guys know.

I see that you are on t-mobile network , so you should download your rom from here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ . Just enter your imei and download the update. Remove HSPL and then install the official rom. Perform a hard reset after that , and see if is all ok . Keep us informed pls.
Hi, yes i have a T-mobile contract, but my phone is Vodafone branden so i'll have to download the Vodafone version I think.
But what i just did is this:
I had HSPL 2.08.HSPL and a Custom ROM on it. So I was planning on maybe sending it back. Thats why I performed a task 29 to delete all the previous (parts of the) Roms. After that i changed my HSPL to 1.66.000, the original spl I had on it.
But now the phone does vibrate when i hold the power butten (with vol down), but there is no picture, so i cant get into the phone or the Red green blue screen. So i think the phone will not boot because I deleted the Rom on the phone and also returned the spl to original.
Is there a solution for this problem? omg this phone just doesn't seem to be working for me (maybe it's me that is not working for the phone).
It is normal since you did a task29. Verify if you did it correctly here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Yes i have read that thread thank you, but the question is:
How can i get the phone to connect with my PC, so I can install original ROM. Because the Boatloader screen won't start up, to make connection with my Computer. I press the power button and vol down butten at the same time. Tried it at least 20 times
Thanks you all. But i sent this phone back to HTC. The board was replaced and they sent it back, so it works again! finally my phone back

[HELP] Lots of problems with flashing my TMO HD2...

I don't know where to begin so I'll just list the problems I have been encountering why trying to flash a stock ROM into my TMO HD2.
Preloaded with Android Gingerbread 2.3+HSPL 2.08+Magldr 1.11
Stuck at 123456 Go Go Go
Digitizer cracked & removed
Tried flashing stock TMO 3.14 ROM to ascertain if it is lack of digitizer causing problem
Was able to perform Task 29 normally initially
Could not run 3.14 RUU successfully nor via SD card method with HSPL 2.08 intact. RUU stuck at 8% & SD method stuck at Radio forever
Upgraded HSPL to 3.03 successfully using HSPL 4
Still could not run 3.14 RUU; same as above
Rolled back to SPL 2.08.000 using HSPL 4
Started having problems with Task 29; could not complete properly
Tried MTTY (v.1.42) but could not format NAND
Upgraded to HSPL 2.08 using HSPL3
Still could not perform Task 29 successfully. Sometimes successful & other times not. Mostly met with limited success using SD card method & CustomRUU Task 29 met with numerous connection error (262, 266, 284)
.....
Now, managed to roll back to HSPL 2.08 after redoing SPL 2.08.0000 even though 'We hacked it' screen stayed on with HSPL3 tool 'Critical error'
Trying to flash stock 3.14 RUU met with Error 284
Tried flashing from SD card, screen displayed 'Loading...' perpetually
After pulling battery for about 10 mins, powering up to 'Stick Together' splash screen without any red letters
Now when trying to flash using RUU, it would fail with Error 284/266 & the driver would spontaneously change from HTC USB Sync to Qualcomm Diagnostic Interface 3197 (COM17)??!!
Question:
I think my phone is not bricked but can it be salvaged?
Will the lack of a digitizer prevent it from being flashed?
Can it be salvaged with JTAG?
I cannot charge the battery in the phone now even with power off. Would the remaining battery power prevent or negatively influence the flashing?
Anyone who have met with success in recovering from something like this...or anyone who has dealt with similar symptoms, please advise me what to do from here.
I really need help.
Thanks!

Stuck radio, not a good sign,, (often sticks at 9% too, anything from 7 to 10 is usually the radio)

probably your only option, though I would guess at a hardware issue, bad nand blocks, or similar with a ll the varied errors.
You could also try chilling teh phone in eth fridge, in a sealed bag for half an hour, with teh sd card ready to flash stock rom straight away, , if this is sucessfull, then you have thermal issues.

Stuck radio, not a good sign,, (often sticks at 9% too, anything from 7 to 10 is usually the radio)
probably your only option, though I would guess at a hardware issue, bad nand blocks, or similar with a ll the varied errors.

Thanks for the response!
Am I suppose to see the R... at the bottom of the splash screen if the radio is working normally despite having completed Task 29?
I know the OS is wiped but the radio is still there....I think.
Does JTAG restore the radio?
The phone does not get anywhere near hot or very warm when I'm doing all these steps so will putting it in the freezer make a difference? I was under the impression that this works when the device has been exposed to heat or is hot for an extended period of time.
Task 29 doesnt touch the radio, only the rom. You may be able to flash cooked roms, and maybe magldr, just not anything with a radio included. Fridge probbly won't help if you're happy that it isn't heat related.

I'm not seeing the R... at the bottom of the splash screen now so does that mean that my radio is fried?
Also, can you comment if not having a digitizer installed would prevent WM6.5 from flashing properly? I've read in the Android thread that it will prevent Android from booting, which is why I decided to flash a WM ROM first to ascertain the hardware condition.
I'll give the 'cold treatment' a try & see how it goes & am in the process of downloading a custom ROM to try. The current HSPL is 2.08 but I'm not sure if it is working properly since the last HSPL attempt ended with the 'We hacked it' stuck on the screen without a reboot & a critical error for the HSPL tool.
Lastly, any idea why it would switch from standard driver to diagnostics driver? It's weird & I can't explain it.

Samsamuel... it's a bad sign, but there are situations where that info doesn't show, however combined with it sticking at 8%, which is about when the radio gets flashed.....
Also, can you comment if not having a digitizer installed would prevent wm6.5 from flashing properly? I've read in the android thread that it will prevent android from booting, which is why i decided to flash a wm rom first to ascertain the hardware condition.
Samsamuel........ No, people have flashed successfully with broken digitizers, shouldn't affect winmo, up until it requires input after initial boot.

Samsamuel....... Id try a different pc if at all posible, though i have had to pull battery myself at the hacked it screen, (not even sure it does reboot itself, from memory, hehe)
lastly, any idea why it would switch from standard driver to diagnostics driver? It's weird & i can't explain it.

that's worrying, too, because that's what happens when tmous gets radio bricked,,,phone becomes utterly unresponsive and pc searches for qualomm diagnostic drivers.
I too in similar situation. I can't get NAND android to boot up get stuck on 123456 GO GO GO! Try flashing the stock rom and get stuck on 8% Task 29 still work for me. If I flash Task29 you think I'm able to flash a custom rom that doesn't touch the radio? The only problem is that i was able to flash the radio with no problem.

Do you still have magldr on the phone?
If not, do you see the R...when the default splash screen shows up after powering up the phone?
If not, you might be in a similar situation as me.
I cannot ascertain if my radio is really bricked as there's no way to see or detect that & as samsamuel indicated, having the PC detect a diagnostic port might suggest that my radio is bricked.
I did try to flash a compatible radio to my phone but it failed everytime.
Magldr is still on the phone. I am able to flash new radio with no problem. are you able to flash just a rom and not a a rom & radio?

yes you are right my bro ... had same problem ... after cooling phone in fridge for 5-10 min it will go perfect BUT still it wouldnt boot into winm so i decided to try android in nand , flashing went ok but after that it wouldnt boot Fatal hit ( magdlr) so i put phone in fridge again for 5-10 min and Yes it booted in android - tried same with WP7 ... But after using a while it will get hot and will stock or restart

I think your HD2 is in a lot better shape than mine.
At least you can flash your radio...I can't flash either ROM or radio.
But I suspect your problems might be due to corrupted NAND.
Have you tried Task 29 with mtty?
At least you can see error messages with mtty when doing Task 29.

ubejd, you gave your HD2 the 'cold treatment' after it turned warm & refused to boot or rebooted automatically am I right?
Would it do my HD2 any good to put it in the freezer when it is cool as room temperature? It has been sitting there unplugged & unpowered for at least 8 hours. I have not tried the 'cold treatment' but flashing custom ROMs with HSPL 2.08 also failed.
Seems like a combination of radio brick & NAND failure...

yes you are right my Bro
you can try, it wouldnt do any harm but just put in isolated place - bag before putting in the fridge - to keep safe phone from getting wet and dont let more then 5-10 min maximum... but as i told it will not boot again in win mob - i hope it does but i doubt ... if it fails to boot than consider to go with android or winp7
i have one question how it began to act like this... did it fall or you bought like that
i hope you success
best regards from me
Gave it a go with the freezer test. I was surprise that i was able to boot up into CWM, & load up Android. Now I can only use the phone for maybe 20 min or so before it get hot again and I have to put it back in the freezer. Is there a way to tell which HD2 is bad batch?
I first one had no problem beside the bad screen, my 2nd HD2 is having heating issues. Seem like I can't win.

I gave my HD2 the 'cold treatment' & I was mildly surprised that it reached the 2/3 mark when using the SD card method to flash a custom ROM but that was it. Back to square 1...

if you have both of them take motherboard from the one who has bad screen and put in one who has heating issues this way you will have at last one working hd2...
I had the same problem too. I knew I wasn't the only one with this problem.
Now I'm sure, MAGLDR makes the NAND corrupted (over 8%). My phone won't charge too, gets stuck at 8%, get stuck on splash screen and doesn't show any red lines...

Flash failing at 8/9% has been happening long before magldr, , and seems to be connected to the radio being corrupted.
But I can flash a radio via RUU... if my radio were corrupted, flashing a radio should not be possible. Am I right ?
With RUU : I'm stuck about 1 minute on 8% then the process resume up to 100% without any error, but whatever the ROM I flash, no one reach splash screen.
With SD : No problem.
Like the OP, my phone is acting weird when I plug on charge.
With cable to PC : autoboot (MAGLDR 1.13 issue)
With cable to AC : red led but when I plug off the cable, the red led is still on (until I remove the battery).
It's clear that in any way, MAGLDR is not completly removed of my HD2 (yeah, I flashed some stock ROM with SD card).
I think I'll send it to repair, I'll leave feedback if I send it.

Please help

Hey, i tried to install android on my HD2 several times and failed, but then i noticed i had wrong version of hspl so i couldn't start MAGLRD (i had 3.03 i think i should've had 2.08 right?) Anyway i then tried to remove the HSPL by formatting my sd card and putting the file from original rom (i don't remember the name) and renaming it to LEOIMG, it started installing the rom i went to another room, when i came back it had finished and was on the red/blue/green screen and it said update failed and i had to retry, but now none of the exes work like rom updates or task29 nothing. when i turn on the phone it says "Not allow" and then goes to the red/blue/green screen. Please help me, I'm freaking out is there any way to fix it? Is there even a way to access SD card when the phone does this?
TomaToz, use the computer to flash via USB cable.
I can't, none of the rom updates or ANYTHING works since this, they all give errors
go to the magLDR page and look for how to remove it.
then start from scratch
There's no info how to remove it but even if there was how would i? None of the exes work and i can't turn the phone on, also i dont think MAGLRD got installed cause i had HSPL 3.03 instead of 2.08
Come on isn't htere anyone who ca help me? :|
are you sure you haven't bricked your phone?
because it just seems you did :/
I don't think you read the bold "You need HardSPL 2.08 before installation!" just above the history?
anyway, can you not flash a radio via USB as well?
also, if you post the error messages you get maybe we can help you more.

What does bricked mean? :9
and no i can not flash radio or anything else, i'll edit this message with a picture of what the error message looks like
EDIT: WOW, i tried to run the hspl installation and installed hspl 2.08 successfully, not i turned my phone on and its the screen where you choose to start the update for rom. This is the update after which my hd2 said "Update failed" so I'm scared to take any steps, please respond and tell me what to do
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! I installed android and everything seems to work fine, i can't tell you how relieved i am :]]]]
That's for your attention
Does anyone know where to get apps for Android 2.3.2?
What i installed is TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.9-MAGLDR
Help please!!! Hd2 stuck !
HI to all!my phone was working great until i decided to try a new rom so I installed task29 (i had elegancia rom but i wanted to try another rom)and now im stuck on the htc logo screen that says 'stick together' in a red square.....i tried vol down+power button to go into bootloader but nothing happens, then i tried to hard reset but still nothing happens...i pushed the reset button and i did it all over again at least 3 times but still nothing... is there anything else i can try? (even on the hardware?)
my HD2 is a T-MOBILE usa with :
radio 2.08.50.08_2
2.08.HSPL
3.14.531.1 elegancia rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729)
i love my hd2 and i want it back...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
THANK YOU in advance!!!
sofialoca, task29 is not a thing to be "installed". It's a flash formatting. So you did everything correctly and deleted all from your phone except.. hmmm... stick together.
To flash other rom - just press Volume Down and push reset (under the battery cover) KEEPING VOLUME DOWN PRESSED. Keep it pressed until you are again in bootloader mode. Then connect USB and flash whatever you want.
thank you Andrew!I found the problem...
