So I just got my HTC HD2 yesterday and I've been trying to personalize my ringtone, text message, etc. and then came across the "Themes and Apps" section. I looked through it, read some stuff and noticed that I could customize my HTC HD2. Wanting so, I went ahead and downloaded some stuff and dragged and placed it in my HTC HD2 and installed it. Then wanting to remove some of these themes and apps, I did. Then once I was asked to restart my phone it loads up the "stick together" banner and comes up to this orange "windows" screen and just freezes. Can anyone help? I am totally new and don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Once in a while, after the orange "windows" screen, it takes me to another screen saying "The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from a untrusted source. Press the Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings." Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Thanks for replying. But I have a question, how can I wipe if I cannot get into my Home Tabs, Settings, etc? I've been searching and others were talking about Soft Reset and Hard Reset, but how is wiping possible if I cannot get into my phone? Sorry and thanks for your help, I'm brand-stinking new to this.
solution
press vol up + vol down + power button simultaneaously and restart your phone, a menu will appear asking you to restore to factory settings... tap yes and there u go , evthing would be back to normal ...
flash new rom; y not just move over to android side; and flash spl then radio then custom winmo w/ android
i'd give a step by step method to do all that if i remembered uhmmm need any help i canroute u to the right people

Thanks, but when it came to that "press volume up part" I held the volume up button and it restored it! Thanks for replying. :]

Yeah, I've been looking at the android, but I don't want to mess up my HTC HD2 again, and when I was reading through the "guides" and "tutorials" of the android, it went through one ear and out the other. Had no idea what people were talking about, haha. But in due time, but if you don't mind simple-ing it down for me, I'll put in the effort of going over to the android side.
OK guys, I need your help...
I have no idea why, but when I turn my phone on, all I get it the word HERO across the screen, and nothing more, I can not get into the flash menu, if I press power and HOME key, nothing,,,, i dont know how to sort this, can someone help me pls....

if you don't have a recovery, the thing you can try is:
get HTC Sync
get an official RUU.exe (on htc website)
and run the exe
and definately root your phone afterwards
grtz
phew, solved it,, pressed VOL DOWN as i powered up and then did a hard boot reset,, all working now,, thanks all.
MODS pls close..
Hi everyone,
Please excuse my English and my knowledge about all this subject is so limited.
Today I connected my phone to Kies and was offered firmware update automatically. So i went for it (believe that it will be only for good) and the phone is now in some sort of freeze mode. It only starts up to "S Samsung galaxy S II" screen and that's it. Completely non responsive. If i try to turn it off it restart itself to that point again.
Unfortunately i can not provide any details of my phone as i cant get access to it right now. i remember that it was on gingerbread and firmware update was offering icecreamsandwich. its Galaxy S2 i9100
i don't know if its related but I'll mention it. This morning i followed instruction (i found on this forum) how to root my phone. Although i am not sure, everything went smooth and according to explanation. If was working fine until this firmware upgrade. Once again i don't know if this contributed to fail or not. Kernel i needed for my model was GT-I9100_BVKE2.
I would appreciate any help how to go back to square one (if possible) and make it work.
Thank You
OK so if you updated it to 4.0.3 and Not 4.0.4, then enter stock recovery (power, volume down, home button) and do a factory reset. Then reboot.
Edit: I mean volume up button

Thank you for your reply - how do i perform factory reset? From phone? I got to "android Downloading" screen (power, volume down, home button) and what then? Do I need to use Kies ...?
Thx
Recovery is Vol up+home+power. You move through options with volume keys and select with power or home button.

I got it from youtube.
NOPE - it wont allow me to go factory reset menu. Only goes back to "S samsung galaxy sII screen".
Does this mean what i think it means?
If youve lost stock recovery then all you can do is go to download mode and flash a 4.0.3 .tar file you download for your region from sammobile.
Then you can root the phone.
Thank you everyone for your inputs.
I went to local store and sort it out for £10. I wish i had more time to play with it but to be honest with you i lost my nerves at some point.
Thanks to all for your help!! :good:

Well you just wasted £10. You could have fixed it yourself in minutes if you had bothered to read in first place. There is plenty of guides and help here and its just a forum or search button click away.

i'm sorry sir. The rom I used was WanamLite 12.8. After upgrading from 12.7 to 12.8 this problem just appeared. It was just after flashing sir. And another thing ive noticed is that when you long press power button, only shutdown and reboot are present and no flight mode and data connection etc is shown.

Actually I've never had this problems... I did try both WanamLite versions, but I always do a full wipe so I never face any troubles. Maybe try that after a Nandroid backup?

just a quick question...
i had previously installed lightening rom on my samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100. recently i wished to upgrade to jellybean however as my home button is broken/recently stopped working i cannot enter into recovery mode to use odin. kies does not recognise the os so it will not allow any upgrades.
could anyone advise me on any options i might have, im new to all this so i would really appreciate some assistance from the more knowledgeable members on this site. is there any way of breaking into the recovery/download mode without having to go thru the power/volume down/home key route?
thanks in advance for any assistance
Yes there's ways of booting into download mode. I'd advise against it though. Why? Because messing with the software with no escape route is playing with fire. If something goes wrong and you need the key combo to boot into recovery to factory reset, you're toast.
Moral of the story, get the hardware repaired before you continue to mess with the software.

Adb reboot recovery?
And there's a home button fix for certain kernels..

Hopper is right, 'messing' with the phone with busted hardware is asking for a 116gm plastic paperweight. Do the smart thing & fix the button first.

Do you think it's really broken? If I remember right, it's a problem with litening Rom, it had a feature like "enable home button" so it could be a software issue, full wipe before flashing new Rom should fix it...afaik..
Flashing a touch recovery (dorimanx kernel) can also work around this.
