hi, ppl, i think i made a stupid move, and i have a dead leo in my hand,
i have try to upgrade my rom with the new Official HK HTC HD2 ROM 1.72.831.1, after it reachs 100%. it just turn blank, like your phone is off. and it just wont turn on, i try hard start, also nothing.
can anyone help?
mm
buddie i think youve bricked it ask 'omega kaos' for help hes a pro
Can you get into the boot loader screen
(i.e. hold down volume control and press reset)
If you can then load up a different official rom.
no boot screen,
the led lite wont even come on when i plug it on the wall outlet
Take the battery out, give it a few seconds then replace it, turn it on.
If nothing then probably a hardware problem.
try everything, soft reset, hard reset, battery out like 10 mins, reinstall, repeat, still nothing
Was your battery a little low when flashing? It has happened to a few others as well if the battery level is a little low. Leave the battery out for about 10 - 20 minutes and then leave to charge. It seems that even though the LED does not always show, the phone is indeed charging and will hopefully come right.
will charge it over night, and see what happen, hopefully it work,
otherwise, i will try to see if i still can return it.
the main info no one asked for and you didnt offer, ,
is it a tmous?
if so then yes, the radio included in that rom has killed it.

because the radio in that rom ISNT a tmous radio. It will have a version number of x.xx.51.x, and as we all know, a 51 radio kicks a tmous a$$ every time, hspl or not.
well spotted, doesnt look too good if it is ol chap.
i did the upgrade to Laurentius26 LEOV2.1_GoldEdition, then i try to upgrade my rom with the new Official HK HTC HD2 ROM 1.72.831.1, and. it happen.
yes, it s a tmous

any radio with a 51 in the version.
example, 2.07.51.05.02 will brick it, 2.06.50.04 won't.
The one to be carefull of is the 2.05.50.x which although it has the 50 in the version, isn't a tmous radio, and i think causes problems.
(Can't directly confirm that myself, but to be safe tmous users should stay away from 2.05.50.x as well as all radios with a 51)

i assume you mean 'cant be harmed'.
No, normal leo and telstra can take any radio, its just the tmous that gets bricked with certain ones.
So just to clear this up because now even i have my doubts about what can and cant be done
if your hardware device is a TMOUS
flash to 51 an its screwed
flash to 50 radio its ok, except 2.05.50.x
and stick to TMOUS ROMS
if you have the regular world wide version
you say we can flash to what ever we like
but is that still true if you have flashed to a TMOUS ROM with the .50 to get the extra RAM / newer ROM?
The device its self isnt a TMOUS original device but the ROM is, but if thats the case then can you change the radio of a original hardware with a TMOUS ROM back to a 50 Radio, of course loosing the extra RAM in the process and im assuming having to change the actual ROM back to an older one too at the same time ?

flash to 50 radio its ok, except 2.05.50.x Ive only a vague memory of reading of this radio messing with a tmous, and i cant find the reference again. But since its an old radio anyway, probably best leave it alone.

flashing a tmous rom doesn't make a regular leo suceptible to the tmous radio bricking.
Example - you have your stock 2.xx.51.x radio installed, and you flash a tmous based rom, which needs a ..50.. radio.
All that happens is the phone hangs at the boot screen, and doesn't show the RGD info. However, you CAN still manually enter bootloader, flash the correct radio, and the rom will now boot.
The device its self isnt a TMOUS original device but the ROM is, but if thats the case then can you change the radio of a original hardware with a TMOUS ROM back to a 50 Radio, of course loosing the extra RAM in the process and im assuming having to change the actual ROM back to an older one too at the same time ?
you meant to type 'a 51 radio' i think? and i think you're asking what happens if you are running a tmous rom and radio, and then flash the radio back to a non tmous ..51.., right? In which case you find the same situation as above, the rom will hang at the splashscreen till you flash back to a ..50.. radio, or flash a non tmous / non 576 rom.

Hey guys I am an enthusiast about Android and recently I purchased a HD2 which is great as a phone (hardware specs) but it lacks of a good software. So on my quest to make this phone the best I stumble upon this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
and which I thought it was the greatest because it tells you how to do everything for u to run Android in your Phone. I did every single step in it I installed ChuckyGTX Rom in it, but when I run HTC Sebse Desire Build, it boots up great and it works, after about five minutes in it freezes up and stop responding.
I really don't know if I installed the right HSPL, Radio, ROM and Android, for dat matter, in my phone. So I would love if someone here can help me. Thanks before hand. I really don't know if I installed it right or not? which one is supposed to go first? The phone is working fine with Chucky Rom, except that it does not display my location weather. Also I do not have a sim card in it yet!
This are the things I installed in my phone:
HSPL3
Radio 2.12.50_2
ROM: Chucky ROM GTX (but I dont know which one, when it boots up it says GTX 2.5, I did not download it from here)
Android: HTC Sense Desire Build
This are the specs for my phone.

First thing I would try is to delete the android build from your SD card completely, re download it and start again to see if the problem is still there.
If it still happens then try another build and see how that runs.
Finding a build that works well for you can be a lot of trial and error.
You could always try using a newer kernel for the build your having problems with, search the android sections for info on that.
Im not sure if having a sim card will affect how it runs or not but I dont think so.
Hope that helps......

After every time Android froze I did uninstall it and reformat the SD card. Also I try about 4 different builds but the only one dat it goes to the system is HTC Desire Sense Build (Which I love by the way) the rest of them get stock on android logo or they never finished booting up completely.
And what other kernel you think I can use on my phone?

Hmmm
Wouldnt worry about a kernel for the moment.
Only thing I can suggest for now is trying a different WM Rom........
Do u mean like a new OS for da phone right? Where can I get one dat u think it will work for this phone? Or I was thinking to put the phone back like it was and start all over again from scratch. But Im not even sure how to put it back to default.
Am I right in thinking that you have a "tmous" HD2? (green and red hardware keys?).....
If so you need to read through this thread for info on flashing a new rom..
Then choose a rom from here.....
or here.........
make sure its compatible with your tmous hd2..... most of them are.
You could also flash a new radio if you want. Make sure you only flash radios with a .50. in the name......
NEVER EVER go anywhere a radio with .51. in the name, these are for the other type of hd2 and will kill your phone.
Might also be worth posting your problem in the hd2 android section......

If u mean green and red keys to Open and Hangup buttons then yes, dat is the phone I have. Also the thread u r telling me to read is da one I used to flash my 1024Leo
ok well i would start over again from scratch.......
new rom, radio, format sd card, new build etc then see what happens......
Great news conantroutman I did what u tell me to do and I got the HTC Sense Desire Build running. Here is what I did:
Change the ROM back to Chucky GTX
Change Radio 2.12.50.2 to 2.08.50.05
But there are some issues that are I guess aggravating me the first one is that it shows all the weather for all the areas except mine and the battery drains while the phone is plugged to the computer. But besides that it did not freeze and it runs pretty smooth. Is there anything u can recommend me to do in this case. Heheheheh!!! I really want it to run as my main cellphone system.
I didnt use the desire build for very long so I'm not sure of what settings are available.........
I would look for something along the lines of "Allow charging whilst connected via usb" or something like that, tucked away somewhere in the settings menu..........
The weather issue...........
Depends what your using to get your weather info....
Sense?
Weatherbug?
Other?
Not every location is listed so it might default to the nearest listed location to where you are....... try using another gps related app and get a fix to make sure it knows where you are and see if that helps........
Theres a good chance someone else using this build will have asked this in the thread for the build so might be worth trying there........
Glad to hear you got it up and running

I have a problem and was wondering if any can help me out. My hd2 is not getting past the loading screen. I have NRG rom and when I turn on the phone it gets to the NGR sign and stops. It just started doing this yesterday. I can get into the bootloader but when I tried to put a new rom on the device it just said it can not connect to the device. I don't know if my phone has brick or not because it turns on and I can get into bootloaders. Anyone with any answers.
Thank you

Hi
What is th version and name of the NRG rom. and did you HSPL and what radio version if you know
Russ
have you changed radio yet? regular hd2 ships with a ..51.. radio but nrg rom requires a ..50.. radio.
enter bootloader - confirm spl says x.xx.hspl and not x.xx.0000 - flash a radio.
a rom that requires a 50 radio wont get past loading screen with a 51 radio.
Quoted from Energy rom instructions
''
Q: After a reset my Phone hangs on white screen while loading.
A: This is caused by a non compatible Radio. Upgrade to a 2.xx.50.xx radio version, which also unlocks the 576MB RAM
''
If this is the correct answer, then shame on you for not reading the energy rom thread correctly before flashing.
radio is 2.15.50.14. This is not my first time running NRG rom on my phone.
OK What version are you using of NRG rom, is it the dinik, touch of glass, GTX.etc and what date did you down load? was it the last update 18dec? 29xxxx as there is a lot of problems with that versions. Infact they have been removed from the download link. I had to go back to my old version from the 13th Dec to get it back working.
So think it would be better if you flash the older version of what you are using until NRG gets the new versions fixed. (His laptop crapped out on him. As per the ROM links)
Yes, it was the touch of glass version and it was the last update 18dec. So, I tried to upload miri and dinik but it just read my computer wasn't sync to the computer. So, it maybe something wrong with the rom and my phone should be alright.
You title a topic in the HD2 section as "HTC HD2"

So, how do I put the old on back on their. I tried loading from bootloader but my computer won't read it now. It will not connect to the pda phone. I don't know what to do. Do you know of anything else I could do.
Thanks
The Intro: Hello everyone, my phone has a bit of a problem, I bought it about 1 month ago, and it didn't have this problem, so I hope your community can help me and other who have or will have this issue.
The problem: When someone calls my phone, I slide to answer the call, but when I reach the left margin, the bar turns from green to red/ignore and rejects the call, Also sometimes people call me and they cant reach me for some reason the operator sais my phone is off or out of coverage area. (Could be the network, it is pretty busy this time of year) so it's not yet confirmed as a problem.
The story: Skip this if you get bored
I purchased my HD2 from a close friend, unlocked, unbranded, it had HSPL 1.42 on it, and an old version of KWBR's rom. I installed hspl 2.08, and flashed the recent 3.14 version, and updated the radio as well. All was good, but since I flashed the final version I have been experiencing the problem, once every 5 or 6 calls it rejects a call.
What I tried: Hard reset, with no software instaled, Flashed another radio using task29, did flash a different rom also 3.14 based. Nothing worked
Solution:
1. Just use the hard answer button, not exactly comfortable, but hope its temporary
2. Being used to answering with slide, just calling everyone back and apologize
P.S.
I used the search function to find an answer, but no luck, If there is a solution please give me the link to it, and please be patient with me
If I made mistakes in the text, sorry, hope you can understand what I want to say. My english is not the that good.

so you didn't find any of the LOADS of threads that say "you cannot run 3.14 rom with hspl or any spl lower than 3.03.0000"
either stop using 3.14 based roms or upgrade your spl to 3.03.0000
Well, I understand your frustration, but here is an answer for you:
Tryed a 2.13.531.1 based rom, with hspl 2.08. No change
Flashed spl 3.03.0000 with both based roms 2.13.531.1 and 3.14, still no luck.
I did read the LOADS of threads, but I also tried it as I read that it is posible, and it ran fine, still does...
Any other ideias?

Like samsamuel mentioned it before;
Don't use HSPL and Stock ROM 3.14 together.
Proposal; remove HSPL and flash stock ROM 3.14 again.

BUT, I investigated the problem a bit more and this is what I discovered:
When I press the barr to slide to the left, I unintentionally press the right side of the screen, releasing the bar to answer, the right side of the screen is still pressed
Can anyone confirm that my habit is the problem?
hi, i bought today on internet this t-mobile branded HD2....1st thing to do was to install an official but English fw (the branded one is in German)...spl 3.0 and last fw sometimes hangs on htc boot screen and vibrates 7 times ... switched back to stock (branded), works great .... any hint ? thanks !
How you switched to WWE version? HSPL or gold card method?
Which WWE version? 3.14 or an older one?
Why do you want to switch to a non branded WM version? Because of YouTube player?
Why not switching to a custom ROM?
HSPL and yes, it's 3.14 - i am not so into custom roms .... stock is fine for me ... and i think it's a hardware problem, has nothing to do with stock/custom anyways :-(
You can try to do a Task29 before flashing again.
If you enter boot screen, is there HX or SS next to PB81100? This means Hynix or Samsung memory chipset.
i have no idea what Task29 is i have to google it ...
at the boot screen i have:
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP LED 0x05
MicroP Touch 0x50
i am downloading the Artemis Rom (in your signature)....a quick tip to do the Task29 ?
Dankö !
nevermind i did the tak29 thing, and m ready to install the custom rom....ill get bck with details, thanks again
Task29 is something like format for hard disk drives.
Samsung chipsets are known to cause problems because of bad blocks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11070430#post11070430
For doing a Task29 and flashing Artemis you can use LeoAdvancedRUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917807
Be sure to run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator.
EDIT: For using LeoAdvancedRUU (Task28, Task29 or Task32) you have to install HSPL3.03 again by using HSPL4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433

Before you install Artemis ROM you have to install T-Mobile ROM 3.14, because after Task29 you have a clean HD2 without anything and Artemis does not include RADIO or other needed system files.
Could be SPL version to WWE ROM are not matched.
Hopefully a Task29 & fresh install will do the trick.
Artemis ROMs are popular & also NRG ROMs are very good on the HD2.
More standard variant Custom ROM (NRG has several) can be used if that's what you prefer, from my experience the custom ROMs are far better than any standard build & we use custom 6.5.3 on all HD2s issued to staff as far more stable & better UI results in IT staff & user having better time ...
i will try, i am on hspl 3.03 - did the task29 step and now installing the stock rom (wwe)...i will than install Artemis...but i am almost sure that it's a hardware issue :-((
edit: nope, is not working / first boot after reflash hang at the HTC Boot screen and vibrates 7 times in a row :-(

This a TMOUS version ? red & green end/pickup keys & 1GB ROM ...
You now on artmesis after procedure above !
If so I would try an NRG ROM & 2.08HSPL & see what result you get.
Use hardSPL4.0 to install HSPL2.08 & once complete install NRG ROM of your choice without task 29 ... not a big fan of task29, tends to get over used.
See what result you get !?

1. i install the stock rom using LeoAdvancedRUU
2. install it again over SD (to get back to stock SPL)
3. install HSPL2.08
4. NRG Rom
on it right away ! thanks, i'll get back with let's hope good news !
Hope so but vibrations at boot do sound hardware fault, probably mainboard.
maybe lucky on 2.08HSPL ! certainly worth trying before getting tools out ...
well, it did boot but after couple of minutes of moving around the menus, it hangs ....so hardware, damn..i guess i have to send it to HTC ... thanks anyways for your help
pls, don't close yet this thread, might be someone around with the same issue and might help ... thanks !
Could be CPU BGA issue, try fridge test: put in in sealed clear bag & put in fridge for 1hr then take it out & use it a bit, maybe run a video or something & see if it last much longer before failing (can also put back in fridge with video running & check it every 5>10minutes to see how it doing)
If runs for longer or without freezing then you probably got CPU BGA failure when board reaches certain temps.
If makes no difference & problem persists the same then maybe bad memory, either way new board I expect ... :-/
it seems that it runs better with th NRG rom ... so i am pretty sure it hangs when overheated...i will try to freeze the freak thanks
INCREDIBLE: the only ROM that runs without any problem is the one that came with...the default ROM ...
RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
Id double check you are correctly setting spl/hspl,,, a 3.14 rom on, for example, 1.66.hspl (the hspl that the hspl2.exe would offer you by default if you run it with 1.72 rom installed,) or indeed anything other than 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl, will run badly. You then flash back to stock, spl matches again, phone runs fine.
not saying it isn't something else, but it's worth checking.
3.03.HSPL with RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship - works great so far ....
