hi i had some overheating problems with my htc hd 2 for the past month. mobile wouldn't start up if overheated or close during a phone call and then refuse to start up again. i was dumb enough to take it back to the service with a broken bootloader which ended up with them refusing to swap the board of the mobile for me with the warranty and asking 312 euro from me to change it instead.
at this point i'm looking for a place i could buy a new board and swap it myself or any other way i could fix it. flashing it again will not change anything i've done that several times and restoring the bootloader and taking it back to service won't work either cause now they've put the info in the online service system that i have illegal software in the mobile and the company wont touch my motherboard (correct me if it's not called motherboard in mobiles but i don't know the exact term for it).
sure it's my fault i was stupid enough to forget about the warranty issue with the non official software but now that it's done and i can't get it fixed for free i'm looking for a way to get it fixed as cheap as possible.
thanks for you time
may be there one application that you installed that cause the cpu to work continuously which result in overheating
anyone knows a site that sells cheap boards for hd 2 ?
before buying a new mainboard .. try to flash your Radio
hi,
hope u found solution for ur problem
actually i have the same problem with my htc hd2 and i can't send it for warranty
i want to know what u did with urs
thanks,
Sorry but what has this got to do with WM6.5? Shouldn't this be in the General section as its not related o a specific OS in any way, just the hardware.

I was updating my bootloader using the pnewbootloader.exe app found on the xda developers FTP this morning and something weird happened.
When the app was done it wrote 000000x000000 at the end and that was it. After updating my bootloader I restarted my phone, but it wouldn't start. It just froze at a black screen. Nothing.... I doubt if it's even on. Tried charging it and then turning it on but no responce. Even the Led is dead. I tried all sorts of methods to bring back to life but all has failed. It won't even charge for god's sake. I noticed that when i remove the battery and charge it without the battery, the led would turn red. Otherwise the device is completely unresponsive.
I desperatly need help hear you guys. This is a call for all the Pocket PC geniuses out there. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have only two options..
GO TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER and let them fix it for you
or
Do this (the instruction is for wallaby)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyJTAG
if you get the result : 000000000:00000000 .. you upgrade your device correctly.. but why it kills your device .. i really dont know ..
the correct bootloader for HIMALAYA are boot_1.03.nb0,boot_1.01.nb0 and bootloader_1.06.nb0 ..the other bootloader in FTP the 515.nb0, 517.nb0 is for WALLABY .. bootloader_for_wm5.0 is not a bootloader but an IPL thats why i added in the name and warned not to use it.
anyway i already gives my warning about Downgrading/Upgrading a bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=124909#124909
and was about to post HOW to do it .. but i change my mind since i also kill my Device due to some research and experimenting using an older than 1.01 bootloader

where can I find a service center here in manila?
tnx a lot
Thanks for your tip but ......
Well from what it seems I must have fried my device.... Now my question would be, how the hell are they gonna fix it ? And how much will it cost ?
If it's a matter of flashing a new bootloader then it shouldn't cost too much, but if they plan to replace a rom chip then I would suspect high repair charges.
If any body has any idea how much it might cost to have this problem fixed please don't hesitate to mention it cause it will surely make a difference.
If it's gonna cost me alot then I would rather buy a used xdaII and use it as spare parts for my original xdaII. Probably change the whole PCB and have it replaced with the used xdaII's PCB

if it is under warranty .. just dont tell them about flashing your bootloader .. they will fix it with no cost .. but if already out-of-warranty .. then i dont know how much really it cost for them to repair it ..
but there is always one fact in service center .. no matter how big or small they will do to your device .. it will take long before you can get your device back ..

I got one question here .....
First of all allow me to extend my thanks to Toenailed for his help on this. Now for my question. I don't get ..... How come, after all the software and hardware knowledge we've got here in this forum, we still can't fix corrupted bootloaders ? Can it be true that service centers have special hardware equipment designed to flash corrupted bootloaders ?
I live in U.A.E, Dubai .... and to be honest, I'm pretty sure that the service center is gonna tell me that the PCB needs complete replacement. Our service centers prefer to replace rather than to fix. I bet if I tell them about the bootloader issue they won't have a clue and insist on replacing the main PCB.
I seriously don't know what to do. I'M STUCK !!!!
is there a way that bootloader can be done without the need of the service centers?can you teach us?
Ok you guys this is ****'n serious **** ....
I sent my phone to the service center this afternoon, and guess what .... they couldn't understand what happened and have sugested to have the PCB changed. Changing a PCB would cost 1,400.00 DHS This is sooooooooooo ****'n expensive. A used pocket pc would cost 1200.00 DHS. I got so pissed off at this. Our service centers prefer to replace than to repair.
Now, it's been 18 hours without my pda and it's been a living hell so far. I'm so ****'n desperate right now that I could actually kiss the guy that comes up with a solution.
This is a call to all pocket pc experts including ( Buzz Lightyear, Toenailed, and Mamaich ) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE you guys ... This is really heart breaking. I'm currently trying some reviving methods but so far I haven't been lucky with anything. I really hope you come up with a solution u guys !!!
There's only one way to fix the Bootloader is by using the Jtag method to the PCB which is not described or anyone went into this experimentation especially on the HIMALAYA's Board or later ones..
I'm sorry to disappoint you my friend but pray if Toenaild will go further more and study it :roll: and making it easy to happen...
I'm really stuck here .....`
Buzz Lightyear & ToeNailed
For God's sake please come up with a simplified version of the steps needed to repair a corrupted bootloader. I'm sooooooooooooo ****'n desperate now. Our local market doesn't even have spare parts or pcbs.

sorry mate, i can't help in this case...
I am willing to buy your unit for 150-200 USD (you pay shipping). please let me know if you are interested.
I am in Europe.
and, if you are not satisfied with my offer, take into account that for 450 USD you can get a brand new one with warranty here (not officially, surely )
i finally got my device back ..
i didnt pay even a centavos since it is still under warranty .. they replace the motherboard
i already ask them how much it will cost if i will pay the board and they said it should be around 1,950 to 2,950 Philippine Pesos (35.45USD to 54USD)

brightpoint doesn't repair xda anymore as per their customer representative. It took me 2 hours to got to their service center and spend time waiting for my turn just to tell me that they no longer repair/reprogram xda. What a waste of time and effort. Can you please advise me where to get this services, tnx.
Hi guys, my Hero encounter the touch screen doesn't work periodically, sometimes it became no response totally, after a few days ,it works well, I think this may be caused by the static electricity, Is there anyone have the same problem? do you guys have some methods to solve it ? Do I need to change a new touch screen?
well i droped mine today and now i have the same issue but the strange part is that i just had a replacement screen and there are no cracks or anything else, so you can't see that it felt out of my pocket.
Hello I had the same problem.
I installed several versions of Android and nbh files.
The problem occurred with versions nbh for Froy version of Android.
As I had saved the versions that were tested. I tried to install previous versions where I knew the touchscreen worked correctly. In my tests with this file to the touch screen work again: kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh
I hope that helped
when you say not working properly, what do you mean? the a and l letters on the keyboard dont register unless I press the screen really HARD. so that aria of the screen is unresponsive
what does one do with kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh?

I got the same problem!! whats the fix? screen replacement? cord lose? what what ?!?!?!!?
This has been discussed a milion times in the General forum.
Screen problems happen to a lot of Hero owners. Just send it to HTC fir a new screen. Don't forget to install an original ruu-rom on it.

I'm over the warranty. How can I fix it? does the screen need replacing? is the cord detached? whats the common issue of this happening? Whenever I touch my screen the notification bar drops down all the time.
i just purchased a old htc hero selling my spice mi300 i usualy get thr same problem in the lower part of thr screen may be i have to.just live with it as there is no warranty or insurance
I have had the same problem.
Mine is fixed within the warranty period.
But i have read something about failing Digitizers.
Maybe that's the problem?
See this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-595485.html
You can buy them at Ebay just look for HTC Hero digitizer.
Below you find a link to the service manual:

If your phone is out of warranty
Maybe you can fix it by yourself
Hey guys, im trying to confirm if the issues that i have are normal for this phone so i would be really grateful for some help:
Issue nr 1, touch screen jitter:
My screen will jitter from continuous touch, happens in games, menus or with any other usage, very annoying
(cant add links so instead i will write movie titles for youtube, user name will be "uberragnak" and it only have neo v movies in his profile)
"Neo V touch screen jitter" - single touch
"Neo V touch screen jitter 2" - duo touch, a lot worse than with single touch.
Issue nr 2, "ghost touch"( im not sure how to call it):
When i touch screen with more then 1 finger it will sometimes read it as a move between those 2 or more touches, mostly harmless( or so it seems) but makes multi touch paint and similar apps kinda unusable(or at least harder to use), also happens everywhere.
"Neo V service menu touch test (ghost touch between points)"
Issue nr 3, high px in touch move program:
While im not sure what px stands for i can tell that move in my neo v kinda "lags" behind, my HTC wildfire S is A LOT more precise (my htc have 1px while my neo v have 11px).
Issue nr 4, deflected accelerometer:
Not exactly screen issue but wanted to add it. In racing games my car will instantly turn right even when left on flat surface, not a major issue especially that you can calibrate it in most games but still.
"Neo V deflected accelerometer"
Im not 100% sure that all those issues existed from the start but i think that at least jitter wasnt as bad as it is now(i noticed all of those issues 2 weeks after getting the phone) and im sure that it existed at stock android (GB), upgrading to ICS changed nothing.
I did send my phone to sony service center for 5 times already without them fixing anything:
1.(regenersis) Software flashing, saw no issues.
2.(w-support) 2nd sony service: scratched my screen protector, software flashing, saw no issues.
3. Went to regenersis again, this time around with youtube videos, they replaced fictive touch module and ear speaker(dunno why, connected with touch module ?), as you can guess it fixed nothing.
4. I Demanded new phone from my local seller (reclamation law in Poland), regenersis as an official service had to say if they agree or not so they refused to do expertise and said that they can fix it at best so i agreed, took 3 weeks then they said that they never receive an answer from my local seller if i agree on repairs or not(and im sure they did get it).
5. They wrote that they fixed the issue without exchanging the phone, obviously they didnt.
I would be really grateful if someone could confirm that those issues are normal for this phone or not because at this point i need to know if this is really worth the fight, especially that my HTC WF S feels so much better than neo v but is suppose to be worse.
It seems to me that this isnt normal especially that they did changed my touch panel and still pretend that they want to fix it while waiting for me to get tired, or so it seems at least.
If it is possible to fix those issue without big cost i could even resign from warranty, at this point its worthless anyway. Will be grateful for any help, thanks in advance.
By local seller, you mean some tele operator, or some local shop?
Are you sure that shop(whatever it is) have a deal with official SE service center(or any service center which have deal with SE)?
Problem here is that between you and service is a shop. That way you can't test phone before you sign.
If that is service center(SE or deal with SE) go there and demand new phone(make sure it's still in a law to demand phone after 3 repair which failed), don't accept repair, if you are able, print out that law and go with it, also threaten them that you will contact department for customers, if you have something like that over there.

My local seller is tele operator "play" which im pretty sure have all needed contracts so thats not the issue here. After 3rd time without repairs i did demand a new phone but "play" said they wont give me the new one because "regenersis" dont want to do expertise and as such they have no base to give me the new one(i could contact with someone with more power than my local salon i guess).
Regenersis service is 200km away from my place so going there is kinda out of option and even if i go there it would probably changed nothing. I thought about contacting my local department for customers but first i wanted to make sure this is in fact defective phone rather than just low quality one because most likely it will end in court . Thanks for the answer.
This certainly isn't normal behavior, so no doubt in that, your phone have hardware problems.
Only this part of your reply I don't understand: because "regenersis" dont want to do expertise
how do you mean don't want to do expertise?
maybe it's problem in my english I know what word means but can't understand in what meaning you put it there.

Problem is that i dont understand that also. Expertise is needed if i send phone for reclamation, after all its the base for repairs/exchanges or at least i thought so. My phone was send to regenersis and after 2 weeks some lady from "play" called to me saying that "regenersis do not do expertise's for SE phones" and without expertise she cannot give me a new phone, which kinda left me confused because they are official service and i always thought that expertise is REQUIRED for them to even start repairs, maybe she lied to me but considering that "regenersis" is known for being the worst polish service center that was sued multiple times already i wouldnt be surprised if she said the truth.
Hi, as many of gs2 users last days I have bricked my beautiful phone ;x jtag cant connect with it, i figured out that there are only two ways, I can buy crushed one and replace motherboard or find a source of flash (emmc) chips and replace it. And there is a question, is there any chance to order this chip? Anywhere? My unofficial service told me that the will try to find this part but I want to find something on my own too.
Same problem here, what came of your situation did you get the chip ?
Dying to know too.. :crying:
its complicated and I needed to use black magic but I have new device for price of 50$, your last chance is to look for broken device
:crying: I have HTC One X+ 64gb Telus which is rooted,s-off and boot loader unlocked. I am using Elegancia 6.2.0. I don't know what happened to it. Suddenly Capacitive buttons are not working as light are working. In past it never dropped and I Nevar sit on it. I don't know why it happened. Now i am using LMT launcher from which I am not satisfied and thinking about repairing it. In my city there are no HTC service center but there is a collection point(I don't know what it is??? ) . I searched about this on Internet and found that it may be problem of Digitizer. So, My questions are:
1. By replacing LCD+Digitizer would solve this problem? If yes, then which variant should I buy SHARP or SONY version? As mine is Telus version.
2. Should I go to Collection Point in my city ?
3. Or should I take risk of doing dis-assembly of it ?
4. Or Should I buy a LCD+Digitizer from internet and do replacement by local mobile repairs?
PS: I bought it 2 months ago from ebay and it doesn't have manufacturer warranty. And sorry for my bad english

Friend getting it replaced wont be the wisest decision, I would suggest you to try some other ROMs like ASOP CM10.2 version and see if the problem persists, since the lights are working. Hope if that dosent work replacing the LDC will take some thing around Rs 8000 Indian. I don't know about the make of the Sceen, but I guess going to the collection point might just help, else if you can get it to Bhopal or some thing.
Don't risk dis-assemble it, if you are not sure what you are doing .
Well getting the LCD+Digitizer from ebay I just don't know since it hard to find the OEM version ...
Good news !!!
