I tried to get Android on my HD2 which failed and now the device keeps re-starting with the white screen (with the green HTC logo) & constantly loops.
I can get into the Bootloader, I have tried a system restore, flashed it with the HTC 1.66.405.2 official ROM and I tried a custom one as well. It still keeps re-starting. I installed radio 2.08 as well.
Both these ROMS seemed to work as they went to 100% and it said it was successful but the device still keeps restarting after showing the white screen.
Any ideas or is this bricked?
Many Thanks.

have you taken out your sd card when you are doing this?
if you can see the bootloader, you are not bricked!
restart loop is very often a bent battery pin.
try to take your battery out for 5-10minutes...that could help.

I've just been trying a few ROMs and whist trying to downgrade from 3.5 to 1.2 spl I found myself stuck in the bootloader white loading.. screen.
If I pull the battery it boots the ROM fine but whenever I entered bootloader or ran a ROMupdateutility to try a reflash I got this white screen.
I've searched for an answer on here with no joy and actually started this post to ask for help but I've just removed the SD card and it went straight to the normal bootloader screen and I'm re-flashing as we speak.
Just thought I'd complete the post for any future searchers.
Thanks
Mine has been stuck on the screen every time I try to re-flash (which actually has saved me from wasting a lot of time as well ....) but I did the same & now have the Bootloader.
Back to the endless routine of upgrades and downgrades then.
I need help! I started off with a stock HD2. I now am running a 2.10.50.28_2 radio with Astraios v1.6 ROM. I installed hspl3 first before flashing (I did not run a task29...). It worked fine at first and then I flashed Android via sdcard, which also ran fine. I then restarted my phone and went back to WinMo OS and it still was running fine. However, I restarted my phone a 2nd time and it would not get past the Astraios splash screen, it was just stuck there. So, I just removed the battery hoping for a hard reset. I then started my phone back up, but now it gets stuck on the HTC splashscreen and will not even advance to the Astraios ROM screen. I've tried to activesync, but it is not even being recognized by Windows Mobile device center to active synce it for a reflash...
Any advice???!! I've tried searching and searching, but I could not find an answer that did not include reflashing (does not seem to be an option as it will not even be recognized via USB).
Thanks!!
Hello, I have an unrooted Hero from Orange (Spain) that enters in a boot loop. I have tryed everything to restore it but with no success. In the hboot menu it says "touch panel-fail" and even if I flash again the original rom from the hboot, it still gets in a boot loop.
First of all I will explain my case.
I had the Hero rooted, with custom roms etc, but when I bought a Nexus One, I gave my Hero to my brother. In September he told me that the official 2.1 had arrived to the Hero, so he wanted it instead of a custom rom, so I just proceeded to do so. I created a GoldCard, installed the 1.5 RUU of WWE, made the two OTAs and all OK. The last week (I think) he received a new small OTA, he updated successfully. My brother went to sleep with the Hero almost charged, but when he woke up, the Hero was off. Then, when he turned it on, and after a while (15mins or so) the Hero finally boot up, but the touchscreen wasn`t working and using it with the trackball the Hero was always prompting FC of android.process.acore (every 2 seconds more or less).
After watching that, I installed the official 1.5 of Orange hoping that it will fix it, but no way. Now it gets stuck in a loop while booting after the Orange bootscreen.
I tryed again to flash the WWE version, but with my old GoldCard doesn't seem to work (incorrect cid) and not being able to boot it up, I cannot create a new GoldCard or even root it.
I have tryed a lot of fastboot comands but I can do just little things because for the most useful things I need root.
Other thing that might be good to know is that when I plug the power to the Hero nothing happens, the led is not turning on, and I don't know how much battery I still have. Thank goodness that the battery was full before I moved the Hero to this infernal boot loop.
Please I will be so thankful if anyone can help me or just giving me any clue about how can I fix this.
I had the same problem on a refurbished hero I had. It had touchpanel fail in hboot and was in a constant loop.
I managed to get it to boot into android once by installing the ruu while in fastboot mode, however the touchscreen did not work and when I rebooted the phone it went back to the loop.
I sent the phone back for a replacement. If u check my previous threads ull see the thread icreated. In it I said that it had worked as that was when it finally booted but before I realised the sgreen didn't work
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Thank you for your reply, I will check your posts when I arrive home this evening.
hi.
I had the same problem and solve it by flashing this rom (goldcard needed)

Hi,
I just bought a HD2 secondhand from an online shop which was promised to me to be in working condition.
Tried booting it up and it was stuck at the Windows Mobile screen.
Managed to flash HSPL 2.08 (after 3-4 tries?) but when I tried to flash the radio, the tool indicated the current image was... nothing.
It simply didn't display any image version, I thought that was a little strange but I tried flashing 2.07.51.22.2 on it anyways.
A few other versions later (2.12.50.02.2, 2.14.50.02.2, 2.08.50.05, 2.15.50.14) and still no luck (it usually fails around 96% when I do it via USB and its stuck at nearly maximum when I try an SD flash)
Not entirely sure where it came from, but it is HTC branded T8585.
I've tried a Task 29 (though LEO Advanced RUU) which was successful. But still no luck with the radio.
Phone won't boot up most of the time - but I can still enter the bootloader.
Various screens I've got so far:
HTC screen (white background)
Screen with exclamation mark and triangle
Screen that says software update has failed
Sooo... any idea if the phone is salvageable? I've been looking around the forum but I've tried most of the above and don't know what else I can do.
Cheers.
Edit: Doesn't actually say FAIL when I use an SD. It just gets stuck at like 99/100% (full bar) with the words Update In Progress... and never progresses.
I managed to break my original HD2 a while ago and I've only just decided to replace it. I have another main phone but I loved that I could pretty much do anything with my old HD2. I had a bit of experience with installing cooked ROMs before moving on to installing Android and WP7 on it.
As I had a bit of experience with playing about with software recovery/updates, I decided to buy a phone that was described as "booting to a white screen" off ebay. I thought it would be a fun little hobby to get it working again.
My first few steps would be to get it to stock and start playing with it from scratch.
I booted into the bootloader and tried to flash a stock ROM but it kept freezing at 0%.
I've since managed to change the SPL version from 2.08 HSPL (I could get the phone to boot into MAGDLR 1.13, so they must've been playing with WP7 or Android NAND) to 3.03.
I downloaded and installed the stock 3.14 T-Mobile UK ROM, but it won't boot past the white screen with the HTC logo. If I pull the battery out to turn it off and try to turn it on again, then it gets stuck at a blank white screen with no HTC logo at all. I'm very confused and would like some help if possible. Thanks in advance.
