Hi!
I have not messed with any ROM upgrades or anything since I got my phone half a year ago and it has worked fine all the way. But after restarting it today, it suddenly hangs in the "htc quietly brilliant" screen! All I can find on net about such problems start with: "After I flashed with ROM XXX...".
I know I could try a ROM flash, of course, but then I would loose all settings and stuff on the phone. And still be left with the feeling that it could pass out again at any time.
Is there any hope to get it resurrected? Has anyone else experienced this without having messed with ROM?
I have tried:
- checking the battery pins, they seem OK.
- loaded until the lamp was green.
- starting without the sim.
- soft reset.
Thanks for any hints!

Thanks for the tip, but that didn't help either
I'm afraid that only doing a Hard Reset will solved your problem.

Maybe not, since you removed the sd card and it didn't work, have you installed a cab (to internal memory) recently ? If yes then maybe it is the problem

I was flashing my Hermes with a custom cooked wm6 ROMs today.
First HTC and then Imate telstra.
In starting itself, the installation got stuck because of some reason.
I reflashed and everything is o.k.
After then, just i wished to checked the BL screen.
When i go to BL mode, the Tri color screen appears for few seconds and then a white screen appears aand shows "Loading.........."
After few more seconds showing "loading......" , it reverts back to BL multi color screen..
Is it normal or any problem with my Hermes?
Although, the OS and everthing else is O.K.
Actually i didn't notice before flshing how it was.
If iam wrong pls forgive me
No reply?
I afraid its not an indication before bricking.
Thatsy i asked
That should be standard behavior. BL searches for the ROM to upgrade on SD card first and then tries other sources -that might have caused the delay. Will try it on my device later. Anyway, I do not think it indicates your device is going to be bricked.

Thanks for the info.
you are right.
I have tried taking out the SD card and then it didn't show that screen anymore.
Thanks a lot friend.

No problem - my device does it too. No reason to be scared. If you have HardSPL it is really much more difficult to really brick the device. There is only one type of bricking that you can get some indices of it's arrival - radio sudden death -but that seems to be a hardware fault.

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

This look like some dangerous steps
Let me ask you guys, which version of Energy are you guys using?

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
cheers
@jonteponte
thanks for the tool. it is not case-sensitive but name-sensitive
i'm not going anywhere. always around

if you ever come to the northern part of sweden just let me know and ill take you on trip, i have several pairs of skis and boots aswell =)
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:

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.
Hi All,
I've done a full search, but cannot find another thread on this - if I'm wrong then please accept my apologies!
Anyway - when I start my HD2 I get nothing - just a blank white screen. It's running stock WinMo 6.5, and nothing else.
My 1st thought - screen is borked. But no - hard reset and FlashRom screens are both fine. Tried a soft-reset, no joy. In desperation I tried a hard reset; the screen says complete - but computer says 'no'. Still the white screen of death!
To add insult to injury my micro USB port has stopped working and I have to use an external battery charger so there's no chance of being able to load a new ROM or anything.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks!

Well, apart from the SD card flashing method.....
Ah, didn't know about that method - how'd I miss it?!

I will report back!

Hi I really need some help. I was updating through Zune and it failed half way. The phone was semi bricked, but managed to get it to flash in usb dead mode in Nokia care suite.
The problem is now everytime the phone crashes or goes dead or I just turn it off. I lose everything and get the windows phone setup. Its like its doing a hard reset every time. If I didn't know better it would seem that stuff is not saving to the phones SD memory and is instead keeping everything in ram until the next reboot. This might explain why if I do a little to much on the phone it crashes then I have to start from scratch again.
Any ideas how I could fix this guys.
Thanks
You try hard reset?

Yes mate tried that, also tried putting lots of different firmware revisions on phone. Still the same story. Im convinced the storage on the phone is corrupt. Is there any way of just formatting the 13.xx gb storage partition on this phone?. I'm convinced this will help.
Thanks
Make a search on the forum before you do anything.
