i cant boot my hd2 pass the white screen with the green HTC letters, i tried hard reset but that doesnt work.
thx for your help
more info, last thing you did, what you were trying to do.
i just did that vol up + down and end call thing. im a complete noob when it comes to phones.
i didnt do anything to my hd2 (no custom rom)
it was working fine until when i tried to turn it on
i dunno if this is relevant but when i charge it the orange light is always on (at the top) even if im not charging

everything is relevant, and yes, that would point to a battery / charge circuit fault.
Bent battery connectors? (look carefully at all 6)
they look fine ill try to upload a video thx

You do need to hard reset, and (no disrespect) I suspect you're doing it wrong. Turn off the phone completely, then hold down both volume buttons and just press the power button briefly (don't hold the power button, but continue holding both volume buttons).
You'll then be given on-screen instructions that I can't remember as it's been so long since I've done it.
thx for your reply but it still doesnt work it says restore complete... vol up to reboot or something. After i reboot it. im still stuck on white screen and green HTC words
If it doesn't even boot after a hard reset then I think it needs replacing mate. It sounds irreparably damaged.
Is it new? Have you had it for a while and this just started happening? If so, what was the last thing you installed or flashed?

did you flash a custom rom? and if yes, did you flash a matching radio? cos if you dont flash the right radio, and the cooked rom is based on a tmous core, (unlocks the 576 ram) the phone wont boot.
enter bootloader, flash a radio with 50 in the version, and it will boot.
i only had it for 6 months
how do u install then radio thingy ill give it a shot plz link me
i think it is a custom rom because my HD2 is taiwanese and i got some person to change it to english for me (custom rom?)
When i go on boot loader it comes up with
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.4.2. HSPL XE
0x05
cotullaHSPL 0x40
i dunno if i got a custom rom installed.. i think it is because i bought it overseas (taiwan) and i got someone to install a english rom on it
and how do u install a radio rom because my i cant seem to get windows mobile device center to work. i found
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11 **(from TMOUS 2.01) on xda forums will it do?
thanx
flash from bootloader, no need for windows mobile to be running.
that radio is a test radio, and isn't a high enough version for what you need(if the radio is indeed the problem)
look in the radio thread and go for somethin like 2.10.50.x
thx for your reply... but unfortunately i dunno how to do that bootloader thingy i think im just gonna send it back to taiwan and get someone to fix it for me. because i tried in sydney it cost 200 dollars just for them to check wats wrong

yea its pretty difficult,
phone off
press hold and keep holding voldown
tap and release power
when bootloader appears, connect usb
wait 20 seconds
run your flash on the pc
i can see how you would struggle with such a difficult process
haha problem is it doesnt recongise my device
hey you have to change you spl from 1.42 to 2.08 using hspl4 or hspl2.then only you can flash custom rom or roll back to stock rom .hope this would help.

Hi, I was trying to flash my ROM with SSPL and a cooked ROM and now my HD2 is bricked. When I turn it on, the white HTC screen comes up and nothing more happens (except the back gets warm). I'm assuming that the little "void" thing below the battery area means that any warranty is void or something.
Can anyone help? Nothing I can do to it will make anything happen. Thanks all!
SSPL? Aren't you supposed to use the HSPL?

As far as I know the "void" thing below the battery is correctly in place. If it was missing - then your warranty would be void.
I would put your phone into bootloader and flash a stock rom.
If you have a european phone check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
If you have USA phone check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Your phone is not bricked, you should be able to reflash back to a stock rom. To flash a custom rom you should use Hard-SPL, if you do this make sure you pay close attention to the directions, because a long time ago I bricked my wizard because I didn't pay attention to details

Wrong radio!
I bricked my phone after using "Task 29"... PLEASE HELP!
I just used "Task 29", my phone is stuck on the home screen and will not do anything else. I keep holding down the volume buttons and inserting a USB cord to see if it will sync to my computer so I can upload another ROM, but as soon as the multi colored screen comes up, it quickly changes to a white screen telling me to either press the vol button up for a reset or another key to escape it. If I press up it goes right back to the boot up screen and does the same if I press any other button. Is there anyone who could help me.... PLEASEEEE!!!!

Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

Did you check to make sure your radio version was correct before flashing? This is probably the number one reason for bricking.
Check this thread it may help you if you did the flash properly:

anybody help?
I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Leo from T-Mobile. Hi! I've got same problem. After flashing new (next) rom phone definetely died. Phohe is currently simfree and with HSPL.

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.
What rom? exact filename please.
thank you so much.
I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")
Hello, I have a problem with my HTC HD2, it doesn't want to start. When I press the power button I feel only a tiny vibration, but only when the device is connected to a power source. Without power source it won't do anything.
Things that I've done : The phone was stuck in bootloader with the error "Upgrade ROM Code Error , Please try again", it had SPL 2.08.0000 so I've flashed HSPL 2.08. After that my device wouldn't start.
Things that I've tried : Take the battery away from the device , connect the device to a power supply,wait 5 minutes then put the battery back on.
Hard-Reset.
Tried to enter bootloader.
Also tried to flash the stock rom, before flashing HSPL 2.08. My device was stuck at 0% with no progress what so ever.

I tried also to start it without SD-card and phone card but no change.
What to do should I send it back????

battery out, connect to wall charger and turn charger on, insert battery, dont touch it for a good half hour. dont worry if charging light doesnt come on straight away.
It sounds like the battery is possibly over discharged. doing as i listed 'should' let the phone start charging without trying to turn itself on.

Hi, I tried to instal Android 2.3 Gingerbread on my htc hd2 but when I installed MAGLDR it stopped working. I realized I had installed the wrong HSPL, but now it won't start or respond to a USB connection. I can't turn it on or off and it only shows a white image with HTC on it....Does someone know how to help?
Greetzz
pull battery, restart into bootloader, apply 2.08.hspl,restart.
My HD2, won't start up.
My plan was to remove an ICS rom, but during my reinstallation of an other rom everything got deleted..
Now my problem, it won't load into MAGLDR, I do have HSPL 2.08 etc.
Does someone have an idea?

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.

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

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...

OK title says it all, and yes I have been reading for the last 3hrs, all the possible solutions.
HD2 EU Vodafone UK
So here is what I have tried:-
Task 29 + flash stock rom - stuck -
Hard reset - stuck
remove HSPL - stuck
flash latest Vodafone rom from HTC 3.14.161.3 - stuck - also SPL now 3.03
flash old stock to downgrade SPL to 1.66 - stuck
Have also tried reinstalling MAGLDR - stuck - magldr doesn't even show.
I never get flash failed, and yet it will not get past the Tri coloured bootloader.
Also I cannot get it to flash from SD. I have tried holding the endcall and vol down but it just goes to the loader.
Vol Up and endcall goes to hard reset.
And, to make it worse, it's not even mine. I was returning it to Winmo for a mate.
Phones been running Android nand since March without problems.
All suggestions welcome.

that would indicate a stuck volume down button, since hard reset is volup and voldown. (You dont need to hold power, tap and release it, its teh vol buttons you hold)
You are quite right about the vol up and down for reset.
Also, I had been considering the possibility of a stuck button.
I will see if i can prove or disprove it.
Thanks for the response.
Does anybody know how many buttons are in the volume control rocker?
Is it:-
1 for down volume
1 for up volume
and another for both when you hold both in?
I am still trying to decide if the down volume button is stuck on.
When I hold both down I can get into reset mode, but if I only press the up it still goes to tri colour.
So I am still not sure if the down is stuck on.
3 buttons in the rocker could explain why up only doesn't go to reset but 2 buttons only would confirm that the down is not stuck on.
All comments welcome
two, you can feel them click on individually when you press them.
I too can only feel 2 and that would imply that the down is not stuck.
When I hold the up button and switch on it goes to boot loader, if it was stuck shouldn't the phone have gone to reset?
I was hoping it was like a mouse wheel with forwards, backwards and click down which is 3 positions.
I'm running out of things to try.
If it's not stuck why does it keep going to bootloader with out being asked?
Why can I flash roms and HSPL without any failure messages but still find no change on reboot?
Thanks for the replies and please keep them comming
I have managed to flash from SD. I tried a different card.
I have attached a pic of the screen saying update complete, update success.
But still stuck in bootloader
well, if it isnt hardware, it must be a corrupted bootloader issue, or bad nand blocks perhaps. ive seen quite a few 'only enters bootoader' threads over the yrs, but never really noticed a solution.
sorry, no suggestions, other than perhaps give teh freezer trick a go?
I'm desperate enough to try almost anything.
I will have to read up on the freezer trick.( don't want to kill it completely)
I have also contacted a couple of repairers for a quote using Jtag. the first said "sorry bricked" and I'm still waiting for the second reply.
Also reading up on Goldcards, maybe that's another option?
Thanks again for the reply.

lol, probably scared of doing it (it requires dismantling teh phone, and theyre notoriously easy to break, there are loads of threads here where someone took theirs in for a fix and the vol/bottom button/screen ribon cables got broke by the shop.

could be tho unlikely (sorry) goldcard flashing is just sd flashing but bypasses carrier and region checks.
if you can get the serial of your sd card, i can make you a goldcard image, no problem. (Don't bother using the free goldcard page on revskills website, its for android and wp7 phones) . PM me the serial and an email address if you want one.
@samsamuel Thanks for all your help and advice.
I have sent it off for repair today.
As I said in the first post, it's not even mine I was re flashing winmo 6.5 so my mate could sell it.
Hopefully it will be all sorted now.
Update.
I contacted 3 repairers.
1st said "sorry dead"
2nd said "£40 + postage"
3rd said "£21 which became £29 all in"
So I sent it to 3rd one, got a quick reply "sorry unable to fix, here is a full refund" and they returned it via 1st class post.
So yesterday I've got the phone in my hands, poped in the battery and I am presented on screen with a triangle and the words "flash failed please try again"
So task 29, now back with a tricoloured screen. See attached.
Now tried a custom Winmo, and it works
So I tried 2 Vodafone and 1 O2 stock roms and they all failed at 9%.
Tried another custom Winmo, and again working
So finally, I have task 29, CLK, clockwork v5 and latest MIUI. All working just fine.
Is there a stock looking custom winmo that anybody can recommend?
Hah, a lucky outcome. The radio is stuck, hence stock roms failing, but lucky for you its still a working radio, so customs are working. About the best result you could get, considering.
I'd say try the Artemis rom, but that will require spl 3.03.hspl, and occasionally the stuck radio issue messes with changing spl,,
Not so sure about your stuck radio theory, I have been able to change the radio without an issue.
I will give Artemis rom a go.
thanks for all the support.
Merry Christmas
