Help - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to all:
I am looking for some help: Here is the deal. For the past 2 weeks or so I have had no problem with my htc hd2, I had followed all the instruction to flashing my rom to HSPL 3 and then added a custom rom and then added android rom on my memeory card. No problems what so ever...Now yesterday here where the problem started I had formart my sd card so that I can try out a different android rom when removed it from my sd card my phone started to act more weird than normal like it started freezing more. I took out the battery, took out the memory card. and even try taking out the battery still nothing seems to be working and its getting worse. What I did to correct it I felt was went back to stock rom that I was able to find online. which is
OS VER 5.2.21889
Manila Ver. 2.5.2012141
ROM Ver. 2.10.531.0
Radio Ver 2.08.50.08
Now my htc hd2 is responding not freezing up I was able to disable the sense in my setting.. How ever its still is not moving as quick.. is there anything I can do to correct this. Get back to install android
everything is working on my phone..
Thank you in Advance
Moe

I was able to restore my phone to factory settings... Is there admin out there that can close this post.
Thanks

hi im having a problem with my phone.im on energy rom (cookie's) and before was on elagancia (htc messsaging version).and before that i tested prestige x rom.i usually flash using the sd card and had no problems till now.
my problem is when i watch a movie it gets stuck after sometime and other times it just restarts all of a sudden.i have checked with two memory cards(both 8 gd sandisk)..and after it restarts it won't boot.sometimes it gets stuck in the htc logo with out showing the rom info in the bottom and after i reset a couple of times it'll get to the screen where i have to enter the pin and then again it'll get stuck and have to restart again.this happened in miri's rom too and i did a task29 and installed using the pc after taking out the sim and sd card.same thing happens.and after a fresh flash im able to watch the same movie without any probs.and when it gets reset the first time after a hardreset or flash the time willbe changed and the date is changed to Aug 1980.i have formatted the sd card and tried many times...this started after i went back to elagancia after testing prestige x.
please help
edit sometimes it restarts when transferring files both in disk drive and active sync modes

Sounds like some issues I have had when bouncing around different ROMs. I find that when I am having problems like this, flashing the stock ROM resets everything. Then, I can task29, flash radio and ROM and no issues.
In other words, try flashing the stock ROM, let it boot completely to Sense and then Task29.
got the same problem, but when the movie stops playing, got buzzing sound and whole device hang, all keys no respond, but hard buttons do activate the LEDs
have to pull battery out/soft reset
only face this when using energy rom, not facing in chucky and maesus and stock
anyone else using energy rom has this problem?
using both TCPMP and coreplayer

yea the same thing happened on energy,elagancia dutty's latest rom but for me after taking out the battery / soft reset it wont boot the first time have to do couple of resets before it boots and when it finally boots the date is set to 1980 on all three roms (whats with this date thing?? is it some kind of safe mode or something?)...so i dont think its a rom issue,went back to stock and it got stuck in the personalization screenso did a task29 came to dutty's again and still not working.will try going back to stock and try again
Check that your battery pins are not bent. I did this pulling the battery and the phone went into an endless reboot loop. Easy fix, just straighten them out and carry a paperclip with you at all times, this is a windows phone after all.
went back to stock and stock spl...its still restarting....and only after a series of restarts the phone boots
Hello.
I have the same problem. Stuck at HTC Logo, freezes und auto reboots. Any news on this ?
I did the same, Reverted to Stock SPL and Radio, But my phone still restarts..
Why does it happend? is it something wrong with the harddrive or something?
It really destroys our devices, Still due to our own risks, is there any solution for this?
I flashed the rom 2-3 times, With prefered radio and Hard reseted all the time after flash.

Any ideas
Will it be a hardware issue?? Pls help!!
no one know?
HTC service Center advised the following :
1. Take out sim card and storage card to eliminate the error tht maybe caused by this 2 items... i've done it... and restart... walaaa... like a charm it works...
But on fine fine day i install cab file... then the old problem again haunted my hd2...
tried the above methods.. this its no longer worked..
Fed-up, i just let it be like that... then on one fine day.. I install another cab file... CHT and CHT Editor to be exact... walaaa... the old problem eliminated.. hv install/uninstall few cab file after tht (analog clock cab file).. so far everything still ok..
I would like to refresh this topic.
It started to happen to me like month ago from no special reason. I use SD Android build, so with every restart to go back to WM, time/date changes from couple minutes to couple weeks to both directions.
Hard reset did not help. Another ROM flashed did not help.
It seems to occur only when rebooting Android -> WM. WM -> WM reset direction mostly OK. Battery-out almost always changes time/date.
Just a thought: Is there any kind of "CMOS battery" like in PC motherboards, that can be weak/broken in the HD2?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

I've got the same problem using Omega rom v30. It's solved easily enough by using sptimesync to get the exact time. What's your rom? I'm gonna flash and see if anything changes
My ROM is:
WM- HD2O
Android - MccM HD V6
This is also happening to me. It's happened before and it somehow corrected itself, but it's really annoying me at the moment. Any ideas as to the cause? Running WM6.5 ROM, stock 3.14. Not running android at all.

clrcad doesnt work

i been reformatting and trying to everything i can to get the hd2 to work android but when i try to run clrcad or haret i get this error
The file 'CLRCAD' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file
The file 'haret' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file
can someone pleaseee help
no idea what problem you have i only know that CLRCAD doesnt show any activity. if you see notthing .. thats how it should work
The signing messages i've never seen
I had the same thing.
My android 'crashed' and my telephone did a soft-reset.
After that I could not open any program again, always said: Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate etc.
Did a hard reset, and again on android. But a bit annoying
is there even a way to fix it? cause it was working at first then now it doesnt work at all and i reformatted my sd card so many times and trying to redo everything all over again and still no luck
i have the mattc 1.5 desire build in my phone for over 2 weeks and its
my fav one but just yesterday it i couldnt find my charger and phone died
when i charged it and try to go back to android it wouldnt let me in
same dumb message , then i it stopped with the message but now it gets
stuck in were it booting android ughh its annoying i only want Desire build ! mattc 1.5
and ive try downloading other links but they dont work anyone have links that work ??
To answer OP's question, the easiest way you can do to fix it is downloading another Android build and run it to see if it works. It might be caused by corrupted downloaded files.
Btw, have you gone through all essential setup steps?
yeah im pretty sure i have...i also tried downloading other ones too same message. i HARD SPL the phone...then i unzip all the files to the root of my sd card...and if that didnt work then i also tried putting it in an android folder...still didnt work..and reformatting the sd card also.
Same issue as above, I ran android for the first time today. I have gone back to it couple times during the day with no issues.
About an hour ago I tried to run it again and this time I got the error message.
I have tried the following
- Restarting the phone
- Copying different android builds onto the card and running them
- Formating the sd card and running different android builds
My hd2 is running a
- stock rom 1.66.707.1
- Radio 2.12.50.02_2
stock roms probably dont allow the running of unsigned files to protect the system files, either find the cab file to disable this or you need to change to a custom rom
a lot of people like the energy rom but i dont know how to flash the rom..
YES!!!! THANK YOU... it worked i flashed my rom to the ENERGY ROM and then i got it to android with macfroyo build

I have noticed that none of the applications on the sd card were working anymore. It was the same message as when trying to run android.
Hard reset and now everything (including android) is working.
If it happens again, I think it will be time to try a custom rom because using android is far too fun to give up.
well i didnt hardset mine because its unlocked it is tmobile but i got it unlocked for AT&T so i was to scared to hardset it and it might have relocked...idk if that is possible but didnt want to take the chances but i flashed it with the energy rom, and then did the android. but at first my android wasnt working. it will boot and then when i turn it off and back on it didnt work and that was pissing me off..but now i got it working. its pretty much easy doing this..its just time consuming if you dont know what ya doing cause it took me a while
It won't relock!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
oh...thanks..well i got it working now =] on android and its so much better then WM6.5
Same problem
Hi, I have a similar problem. the thing is that I try t run clrcad but nothing. then I flash the phone again and it works during 3 more times that I have to run again.
Really i´ts anoing.
I would like to if somebody knows why this happens.
Thank you

[Q] Bad flashing, plz help!

Hi all, i have a tricky one for you. MUCH respect to the one that can help me out with this one.
I belived my HD2 to be faulty and was to return it in for repairs. Having HSPL on the phone presented a problem so i tryed installing from SD card to remove it and restore the phone back to original ..... exept that didnt happen.
See, i didnt save my original rom back in the days when hspl showed up and apperently, you need to extract your original rom if you ever inteend to restore it to full original. So after some tries, with stock 1.48 and stock 1,66 i gave up and did a task 29, installed NRG rom and was back to normal ... OR so i thought.
The problem that started showing was a strange connection error.
"Dialer
cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings " some more text of non importense is displayed on there.
Thing is i lose the connection for like 1 second, it then shows this message and the connection is back again ... so i just press "Dismiss" untill it randomly will occure again now and then.
Now i tryed radio 2.10.50.19, 2.10.50.28, 2.12.50.28_2 with no luck.
I tryed to start with 1.48 stock installed from computer, then Task 29 with radio, then the latest NRG rom ... and some older. Nothing changes this thing, and the problem never occured before. I tryed just Task 29 and straight to NRG rom, nothing.
Plz plz if you have an idee, or think you can help, plz do, this is getting on my nerves, what if i never can save it!!!! ... oh my oh my
Best regards

[Q] Don't install new firmware - it bricks the phone!

Hello,
I downloaded the official rom from the official HTC website.
It is the WWE East Europe version - suited for my device because the SN is confirmed.
The download finished OK from the Europe 2 server.
I flashed by placing the extracted leoimg.nbh on the root of the SD Card.
I confirmed that the flash was successful - it shows the correct version number of Manilla, radio, etc. Additionally, the ROM is still only 448 MB.
However, the phone freezes all the time and/or restarts itself complely randomly - I have observed this 22 times in the past hour. Is anyone experiencing something similar?
I have redone the flash again, but the same issue occurs.
This is happening with no programs installed, no HSPL, etc. Everything is completely clean.
What can I do to stop this?
may i know why you flashed the latest stock rom using your sd card. would it not be easier to flash through your pc using a usb cable?
you might want to check the meaning of "bricking the phone"...........
then remove it from the title of the thread........
As Rurph mentioned, flash it via your pc, still following the instructions from theHTC site
I now tried flashing through PC, same freezing occurs.
To reiterate:
I have an original HTC HD2 bought from the official HTC shop in Czech republic.
I downloaded the latest official ROM for HTC HD2 from the official htc.com/cz website using my original serial number.
The download finished successfully every time (I tried it 5 times from all the different servers), and the SHA-1 hash of the files was identical every time.
I now flashed it using the normal PC method - everything appeared successful.
I also tried extracting the nbh file from the downloaded file - both by running the .exe file, and by extracting it using winrar - both methods gave me the same nbh file with the same SHA-1 hash. Then I moved the leoimg.nbh to the root of SD card and flashed using the SD-Card method. Everything appeared successful.
Both of the above methods give me a system that freezes completely at random. For example when starting the phone, it can just freeze (left it for 8 hours over night, it remained frozed), when moving from 1 tab to another (freezes in the middle of the animation), when opening the start menu, when going into settings, when making phone call, when opening SMS, and most importantly when NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL.
What can I do?
Try to flash an older Version.
I don't know if its possible, but maybe that solves your problem.
Did you have SPL 3.03? If no... Install HSPL and use a custom ROM like the one from NRGZ28 (EnergyROM)
If you an't flash the older version via RUU (Rom Update Utility) try to flash it from SD card. You can also perform a "task 29" with MTTY (before you flash)
But be careful, you can brick your phone...
I have always only used official ROMs from HTC, so I never needed HSPL so I never installed it. I also always prefer the official ROMs so I would rather not use a cooked one.
I think flashing an older version would solve the problem, however I would rather like to find out what the cause is...
So far, I managed to get my phone to a useable state by running Android from the SD card - it works flawlessly for all my purposes. The only problem was to start Android through Windows before windows manages to freeze...
Given that android does not freeze, I believe that the freezing problem must be a windows mobile issue.
Any suggestions for tracking down this freezing problem? Could it be a hardware issue?
hard reset. and if no better flash the rom again followed by hard reset.always hard reset straight away as soon as you see a glitch in a freshly flashed rom. don't ask me why, cos i don't know, but it does seem to help when a flash doesn't "take".
oh and you didn't leave the old application data folder on your sd card did you? or try to restore registry settings?

I always hard reset before and after a flash. No change - freezing still occurs.
Even when I did multiple hard resets, the freezing persisted.
The SD card is freshly formatted, checked for no filesystem errors.
I did not restore any settings or anything else - the problem occurs on a completely fresh clean flash.
Additionally, the problem occurs even with no SIM card or SD card inserted into the phone.
Overheating?
I concur with rr5678, seems more like overheating than ROM problems, esp. that I've had the same ROM for a week with no problems whatsoever
hence kind request to OP: check overheating threads and please change the thread subject to a more accurate one so it does not spread misinformation and panic
as for the overheating - 1st thing to do is installing BattClock and monitoring correlation between freezes and battery temperature

The phone is definitely not overheating. It is very cold to touch and it runs Android without a problem.
OK I did some more testing - going back to any previous ROM fixes the freezing. Then installing the newest ROM reintroduces the freezing.
Given that it is definitely not a hardware issue (works on previous ROM, works on Android, no overheating), it looks like a Windows mobile issue.
I am surprised that nobody else is experiencing this. How come I am the only one? What is so special about my phone?
And the new firmware can "brick" the phone - a less skilled user would not be able to do anything with a frozen phone...
Anyone know why I get no ringtones or alarm sounds when using 1.8?
Deliberate?
Edit: Weird, seems first time a check a ringtone or alarm sound list it's empy. I leave then go back, it's populated again. So self-fixing issue.
Edit 2: Yeah.. tabs got mixed up, completely wrong thread, sorry!
Anyone help?
HTC Support is as always useless - their advice was to take out the battery and put it back in...

Thanks for the advice - but given that the phone freezes even with no SIM card inserted, I do not think that it is the case...
I have however tested inserting a different SIM card anyway, and the freezing occured again...
I too faced constant freezing problems with the official ROM but then I used HSPL and flashed a different radio (2.12 in my case) and ever since never faced any freezing problems..worth a try I guess...
epic fail
not being picky, but "bricking" is, as far I know, by definition an irreversible problem? Hanging and freezing and re-booting are not bricking.
That said, sorry to hear about your troubles.
Sounds like going back to your old ROM is the only solution right now.

Well, to me it seems your phone just doesn't like custom ROMs.
