Bricked HD2 repair - HD2 General

Having my TMOUS HD2 bricked by using Task 29 and 2.09.51 radio, thus losing the warranty, how much does it cost to have it repaired by HTC? Do they even accept them for repair?

Does it even boot to the tri-color bootloader screen? If so, you can fix it (I think). If it is indeed dead, there are some posts describing brief, furtive encounters with a microwave... (wink-wink-nudge-nudge)...
Hope you get your device either fixed or replaced soon...

It is dead, no tri-color bootloader, nothing

does it turn on at all? stuck at the pink/white "stick together screen"?

Since it's less than 2 weeks since you got it, just take it to the T-Mobile store you got it from, and tell them that it just stopped working for no reason. I know it's bad thing to do, but it's better them than you right... I am sure they are prepared for the first set of devices to have some issues
Just be ignorant and tell them that you left the phone charging overnight and the next day morning, it just stopped working. They will just swap the device. Just make sure that you go to the store in-person to pick up the deivce. If you mail it in, they would dignose and probably know you have messed around with it.
I did the same thing with I flashed my device the next day it came out. I flashed a Custom ROM that had a non-compitable radio and it just did not boot. No bootloader mode.. nothing. NADA...
I called the store I got it from, he asked me to come by the next days since he was of all the devices and he was expecting a few the next day. I asked him to reserve one for me for the exchange for the damaged device. I went in the next day.. They just swapped the device. I actually told him to switch the battery from the new device to see if this one works, he said, it does not matter as he had send the whole device back anywayz..
So, good luck. Hope this helps.

Same as above for me except they had no devices left. Out of stock completely with no ETA. I got my refund and I'm back to being HD2'less.

I paid $172 to have me htc blueangel screen repaired if that helps.

Nothing to do with task 29, task 29 is safe. Radios with ..51.. are deadly.

Unfortunately some of the ROM's can be the kiss of death.
I can tell you that you have completely bricked the phone and they can't tell what ROM you have then you can probably get the warranty with HTC. If they discover you have a ROM it will be shipped back to you and they won't even fix it. It's a hit or miss with them.
I sent back one HTC HD with custom ROM and they didn't have a problem. I snet another one back and they declined due to custom ROM.
Just hope you get them on a good day

just answered in your thread.

You mean it's dead and there's nothing to do with it?
New CPU?
RAM discharge? SOMETHING????

That's pretty much right....when you flash an incompatible radio to this phone (which that ROM has), that's the surest way to kill your HD2.
You can send it to HTC for repair, where they will likely tell you that you need a new mainboard (CPU, rom/ram, etc) and offer to charge you for it....usually very close to the price of just replacing the phone with a used one.

Can you get into bootloader mode then? Get there and flash a different ROM. Be sure it doesn't contain a .51 radio!

Please help me i did the same as

bricked by the radio that rom contains.
sorry.

Got my HTC HD2 rooted and installed droid froyo and it worked for 2-3 weeks, and then suddenly after trying out a program from droid market, called photofun, it just froze, so I removed the battery and put it back in, and it is not coming up at all. Tried hard reset with the vol up/down+power with no luck. Completely dead, would not even go to the boot loader.
So if anyone is in same situation as I was, just search for htc repair in your local CL and I took mine to a local wireless store here and they're able to fix it somehow and cost me $50. Software issue they said.
There seems to be a way to fix a completely dead/bricked hd2, without having to replace the whole mobo, but cannot find any info online. Anyone would like to share please? In case I bricked my phone again or anyone else who bricked their phone.

[Q] Broken screen

Hey everybody,
My HD is acting funny at the moment. The screen isn`t going on anymore. The device self is responding, it makes noise when someone calls and vol up/down is also responding. I know where the vibrate button on the screen appears and when i press at this place it also responds. So the screen is responding but isn`t turning on. Also the green/orange light behind the power button isnt working. Maybe a problem with the backlight? The device is younger than a year so i should have warranty but I flashed the device. Should this cause any problems when i send it back?
Greets
I think your screen is dead.
did you drop the phone or some thing like that??
and if you want to send it back, you need the original rom from HTC or the custum rom from your phone company.
Do you alredy try to Hardreset?
Thanks for the replies! I didn`t drop the phone or something like that, it just started to do it. Hard reset is a bit of a guess if it worked because the screen isn`t working. A bit annoying because i also need to flash it back to original if i want to sent it to HTC...Any tips?
than flash it back you don't need the screen to do it.
I used USPL a few weeks ago to flash a 1.56 rom. Do i also need to flash back my spl than? Am i right that you first had to flash back the SPL to original 1.14?
Does anybody have a clue about the SPL i`ve got at the moment? Last time i used USPL to flash a 1.56 rom. So do i have the original SPL at the moment?

As long as you have stock rom on it and stock SPL you will be fine.
You flashed a 1.56 rom using USPL so chances are your SPL is 1.54.0000 which should be fine for returning under warranty.
Your main concern is getting stock rom on device which you should still be able to do even without screen working. Connect device to pc and run USPL as normal and then flash stock 1.56 rom onto device
Thanx for the reply!
I didn`t know SPL 1.54 would be ok to return under warranty. I did the following: I`ve set my phone in bootloader, runned USPL and flashed a cooked wwe rom. This was all completed correctly so i should be able to return it under warranty right?
I used this rom: RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship

Yeah i meant stock rom, just got off the phone with HTC. They`re picking it up next Thuesday... I`ll keep in touch!
Hi Sharpedgedone - I've also got the same problem on my un-modded (standard ROM) Touch HD.
Just left a message with HTC support, hopefully mine will also be still under warranty.
Will let you know how I go.
The idiots lost the phone! HTC track site still said `we`re expecting delivery and will start repair asap´. Contacted with HTC and confirmed that the phone still hadn`t arrived and an investigation was started to retrieve the phone. They also said the phone was branded and they made a mistake taking the repair assignment. This had to be done thrue the provider and not directly by HTC. Called my provider and they say the device is unbranded, like i ordered it begin this year specifically. I mailed the pick-up order letter to the person who is investigating the whereabouts of the phone 10 days ago. Still nothing...
Any advice or experiences with this?
Just got the phone back, opened the box @ the postoffice. Immediately noticed the IMEI nr changed. Phoned with HTC from there, dont know what happenden, they earlier said the phone was send directly back by the package service when they found it. Starting an investigation again. They made the note to contact the repair center by myself. Contacted Eurotwice repair center (BE), they`re the official HTC repair center, and they said they also dont know and the device was sent to Dynafix (NL). Thats the repair center of the provider. Contacted Dynafix and they said the Mobo was swapped en sent back to Eurotwice and eurotwice sent it back to me...
Device seems to be working ok for now so thats positive . I only had to call for a total of 2 hours to find this out by myself. Anyone knows where i can demand this back from HTC or file in a complaint?

HD2 stuck at white boot screen/ can't install Roms

Hi guys, I've a problem with my HD2 and maybe one of you has an idea of how to fix this, because I really don't want to send it in for a repair
Anyway, my phone decided to refuse to boot out of nowhere. When it happened I had Artemis v9 or v10 installed on it. The funny thing is that I didn't flash anything when the problem occured.
Whenever I start the phone I only get a white screen. Luckily, I can still access the bootloader, even thought that didn't help me until now.
my guess is that the Radio is somehow corrupted, because when I try to flash a new one I get the error saying "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated". Not even flashing with task 29 works, because I get a "Error 270" and the phone restarts itself after like 4% of flashing.
I'm really out of ideas, I tried to flash a lot of different roms and radios, even the rom that the HD2 came shipped with.

What radio (if any) have you flashed? Check the ROM's dedicated thread you want to flash and see if the radio is compatible.
Im betting you've flashed the wrong radio
take the rom it was shipped with, name the nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh, copy it to your sd card and go into bootloader.
it will flash your old rom and should overwrite the old radio.

I installed Radio 2.06.51.07, which was recommended as far as I know.
I tried to install every "official" rom that I could find, but no matter if I apply them via SD card, USB or .exe, the install never finishes.
Tried to install just the OS without a radio and that worked, so I'm almost sure it is somehow radio related.
Now the problem is that I can't even send it to T-Mobile, because I there is no way to get rid of HSPL. BTW, it's the german T-Mobile we are talking about, not the US one. Is there a chance they won't notice the HSPL...?
so flash this one over sd-card: german t-mobile 1.72
what about performing hardreset? does the phone boot?
DN41
Tried flashing the TMO rom, but no luck either
Hard reset is strangly fast (only takes like 7 seconds) and only gives me a white screen after reboot. Apperently the HD2 shows me that HSPL is intsalled in the bootloader, but I can't change the SPL...
Already tried HSPL2, but no matter what option I choose, my bootloader always stays at 1.42 HSPL.
Edit: I would like to post pics of the error I get when flashing from the sd card or the bootloader screen, by the board rules don't want new users to post links.

I have exactly the same problem.
I believe radio hardware of my HD2 has failed.
This is not related to flashing an incompatible radio, as I have flashed 1.66 official ROM about three months ago and had no problems until now.
I got the white screen, when phone was in my pocket.
Not possible to update radio, update fails with "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated".
Not possible to flash any rom, flashing fails when it comes to radio part.
MTTY didn't help as well.
I see no way but to send it back for repair.
Hope they dont realize HSPL, as it is also not possible to change SPL right now.
Hi everybody, i am facing the same issues with my knew HD2. The fact is that i received it yesterday, while trying to flsah ENERGY ROM ..i flashed also the radio .. now got the white screen with the HTC green logo, and no way to hard reset ... phone doesn't boot, can't do anything !!!!!! volume + and volume - doesn't work !!! any idea any solution ?? I am about to try flashing with the memory card but no idea if it will work, im not sure cause even the HSPL doenst appear ... anu idea ?
I've got the same problem
Mine is a Telstra (Australian) HD2, and I've been using it for about 3 weeks fine. Then a few days ago, I took it out of my pocket, and it's dead. With my one, most of the time I just get a blank screen (no HTC), and most of the time it's slightly yellow.
I'm having the exact same problems, and have done everything suggested on this page, and others. I can't send mine back either.
I'm guessing since no one's replied, there's not really a solution to this.
If it is a failed radio, I'm amazed how easily they fail, and how many people seem to have this problem.
I have the same problem today. Anybody help?

i had the same problem with my Telstra T9193. i couldnt find any solutions so its on its way back to australia under warrenty.
I had a similar problem to this, though it appears I just fixed it. I can only imagine it's just a temporary fix though, as I previously managed to get it working and running Android only to white screen again the next day.
I did a hard reset and now it loaded the white HTC screen and nothing else. I tried installing a stock ROM from the MicroSD card and got the same "Update Terminated Update Fail" error because of the Radio. Retried the update about 3 times, and it eventually installed fine.
same here, i reloaded a stock from sd to relock it, which i highly recommend for anyone having this problem - in case it needs to go for repair and it just happens to boot..it took quite a few tries to have a proper flash and it booted only a few tries afterwards and then went back to only booting the white htc screen. so frustrating. and unfortunately for me it has to go back to australia for warrenty and will likely take ages to get back
I was stuck at multi color boot screen after hard reset. Tried multiple roms.
Solution: Use the 2.13 rom from here. Worked thankfully!

After being looooong on this forum, I finally got my first bricked HTC. I got all the same problems, white screen, no way to get HSPL gone, and no update via SD possible, no ROM update via USB in bootloader and no radio update possible...
Anybody knows how much it costs if I send it to HTC and they find yout it has been HSPL-ed?
Next with the bricked HD2
So definitely I´m in the same situation.. I have unusable SMARTPHONE!!
Even worse, because in my case i have no chance to send it to warranty repair - I was too disparate and curious so I opened my HD2 to look for an backup battery to erase everything that could have resist my countless tries to reflash, hardreset, flash RADIO, flash ROMs...
At the begging was the same (btw the same is still) : I took my phone and it did´t answer for waking it up. So I pressed red button to (soft)reset it. But it booted only to white screen (not the HTC one but "pure" withe w/o logo, w/o software info but with slightly yellow hue)
This was almost whole week ago... During that time I tried almost everything (I don´t have gold card - since I can´t get CID of any SD card I´m not able to have one and have installed HSPL 2.08 I´m ABLE to FLASH any ROM - even successfully reflashed cooked ROM via SD Card.!!) and the answer for me is probably some hardware problem....

I'm sorry, I just sent my to the repair center. Hope they will repair it under warranty. Otherwise it will cost me 100 Euro, just to find out I have to pay for the repairs. Then I can choose to let the device there (then I don't pay 100 euro) or let the device ship back (I pay 100 euro for a brick) or let them do the repairs which they will say how much it will cost on top of that 100 euro ..... stress ....

With the radio bricked there are only two things you can try to do:
1- You can go on using your hd2 without updating the radio. Try to download a rom without radio and install it, or ask a cook to prepare a rom (you can try an official rom if you want to recover the original SPL) without radio for you.
2 - Do what I did and sell the phone as bricked, because there's no way to unbrick radio system. I tried to save my HD2 by recovering the original SPL and sending the phone to the htc customer service. I got the phone back after 2 months and it was still radio bricked

every radio of rom upgrading process gets stuck at 0%.
Also my screen becomes dead freeze after the official rom boots up.
HSPL
Did you flash from your sd card or usb, because if its from sd card, hspl will be written over?
My guess is to download hspl3, choose the 2.08 hspl option, and you will be fine.
Judging from your post count you probably know that already, lol

luckily after flashing official Tmobile Rom,i patched my HSPL back to 2.08HSPL.and now i have installed NRGZ 21916 (Energy style(close to reference without cookie's home tab) ROM.but now im not able to use the phone as the touch screen is not working permanently.do u suspect a hardware problem here?
i am from India and my Tmobile Hd2 din come with warranty as we dont have Tmobile here.i had a word with the HTC Service center and they are saying that the device has a screen sensor problem and a replacement will cost me Rs7,000 INR.
i do not want to bare this cost.please all members,i request you to provide me a solution to this ridiculous problem.
Should i go ahead with Task 29? would it be safe.since i am able to upgrade roms successfully,i really dont find it a need to.but my touch screen is not working and the only way to interact with my phone is to connect it via mobile device center and then use MyMobiler.
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Based on the ability to flash a rom I would look to restore it factory radio and rom. Then start over. I know this is a pain but it migh solve the issue. Maybe something is hosed in Ram during flash.
I had Moto Droid that the screen quit working after applying a CM rom. I had to flash over my original SBF and then re-root and apply a new rom. May have been over kill but wanted to be sure. Also had the old HTC Titan(XV6800 on Verizon) do the no touch screen thing on a rom flash.
In the end it doesnt hurt to try.

seems like hardware- you are having the same screen problem with different roms, correct? similar situation happened to me where the keys worked, but the screen stopped working (strangely, immediately after installing android.) tmo replaced the device. just my $.02.
As long as you have HardSPL on your device then I would sugest trying to flash some different Roms and see if any of them get rid of your TouchScreen problem.
Try Duttys Rom *HERE* first as it is a very stable Rom and is compatable with TMOUS HD2's. Flash via activesync, let it boot into the setup screen then take out the battery and hard reset.

What SPL do you have on your phone?
The only other thing I can sugest is to try installing a different HardSPL. If that doesnt fix the TouchScreen problem then im afraid your phone has some kind of HardWare problem.
Have you tried the original stock rom that would have come with the phone?

Hi Mark..thanks alot for your constant help.my uncle's HD2 had the Screen Digitizer problem.the Digitizer layer sets above the screen.So replacing just the digitizer costs 1500 INR and the entire screen costs ~6500 INR.(prices as reported by uncle after consulting the concerned person repairing the phone).
It was a Hardware problem finally detected !!!
id request u not to close this thread by next week.If the problem gets permanently fixed,i'll inform you here and then you may close this thread.

Karan.

First Post...... And Dead Ends. HD2 Upgrade Issue.

Alright...... first post here. Picked up an HD2 to check out and see what all of the fuss is about.
Here is where I am at:
-Phone failed an upgrade.
-Phone sometimes boots to triangle with exclamation, software update failed, and sometimes to red/green/blue screen stating ROM has failed etc.
-Hard reset, same issue.
-Soft reset, same issue.
-Can boot phone to bootloader screen. Plugging in changes message from serial to USB. Attempted software update from T-Mobile site, gets to 8% and fails. Firewall on or off does not matter.
Where to go from here. Phone is 3 mos old to the day, and I can send in for warranty at this point and wait 2 weeks or try something here. For now I want a stock working HD2, then go from there.
Searched as best I could, so please no negative comments. If I would have found it I wouldn't be here. Closest I came was a post on T-Mobile's support page and unhelpful replies to the other guy who had the same issue, so I didn't bother.
Thanks and look forward to being here.
attempting fix
I would suggest downloading the T-mo stock rom from the [ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS forum in the TMous Rom forum.
Connect via Usb and flash your phone to reload. Very easy to do as long as your pc sees the phone when you connect it. Just download to your pc, and double click the .exe with the phone connected.

If it's under warranty they will ship you one within a few days and you put your broken one in the box and send it back. All on their dime.
Were you upgrading to the 3.14 ROM from T mobile's website when it crashed? And you are saying that your phone was perfect prior to the upgrade? What ROM were you running before the upgrade? Do have Hard SPL or was this stock?

Tried this but was unable to download the file. Also tried going to the site and logging in etc with the login given but it looks like the page it was on has gone back to the hosting company, did someone not pay their bill?

It was in fact to the 3.14 I assume since all previous updates had been done.
This...... hmmm....... I think it did say HSPL 2 on one of the colored screens.
If you do have hspl on it, you want to remove that before sending it in for warranty as hspl voids it. You should be able to download an official tmous rom from this site and just go to bootloader, hook up to computer and flash official rom.

You want to download the stock rom from Tmobiles Wmupgrade page... Then follow these directions. Flashing from microsd will overwrite your Hard SPL and you can send it back no problem. Or if it actually just works, you are good to do. After that you can flash Cotulla's HSPL3 and start rockin again.
Downloaded the file linked in the first post. Took the fat32 formatted MicroSD out of my Bold, it is 8GB, and moved the file to it. Put it in the HD2. Started the flash, failed on Radio_V2. Flashing again now and it is taking forever and stuck about 1/8th of the way, about 5 minutes into it thus far.

not on their dime, It will cost you $10 for shipping in the states
Stalled but didn't say failed. Attempt #3........ update in progress yet status bar is not moving thus far.
What is a best guess as to how long a flash should take?
SPL 2.10.000 is what is on it btw. I was mistaken.

I had a warranty replacement and did not have to pay any shipping at all. They sent me a refurb in a white box with a return shipping label in it. I put my broken phone in the white box and then applied their return label and sent it back out...
Have you ever returned a phone that is under warranty with T Mobile?
You are confusing 2 things. Through HTC you are responsible and they try to fix yours, through T-Mobile they send you another phone and a pre paid label.

Try a Task 29 from bootloader, then try to flash the ROM again via microsd... Sounds like a nightmare. Sorry dude.
Bootloader stays at "Serial" now even with USb on front or back of PC. Firewall on/off does not matter. Even better. Sigh.

Task 29 form the card...
Doesn't even fire up from the card right now anymore. Just goes to the bootloader and says serial. Hard reset still works but doesnt restart in the end due to the corrupt rom.

Indeed. I got the impression you bought is new since you new exactly how new the phone was. Carry on. Sounds like your SPL is legit and it's time to just get a warranty replacement dude.

[Q] bricked my hd2 but my computer recognizes it...?

so i flashed my phone with the wrong radio i believe but the strange thing is that my computer recognizes it. the doesnt turn on at all but i here the sound of a device being plugged in when i plug it into winodws. is there a chance its not bricked?
the sound doesn't necessarily indicate much.
what did you do? specifics, please?
can you get into bootloader?
i was trying to flash a stock rom and i guess it didnt work?

mate. as i said, specifics please. like what rom / type of phone do you have? what rom were you flashing? you said radio, now you say rom.
also, as i asked, can you get into bootloader?
please, if you want help, we need information.

You may try and follow this solution, I suggested earlier. Click here
Let us know if it worked.
sorry i was vague, i was in a rush to get to work this morning and on top of it i was panicking. i flashed the stock image:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
i tried that on a hd2 so i could flash hspl3 again and use wp7 on my hd2.
i ended up just sending it in, but if they send it back with no repairs ill try your method... i relly hope they just send me a new one though. i mean... i flashed a stock image to the hd2, so shouldnt they see no hspl and just the stock spl?
again, more details are needed.
like what type of hd2 do you have? if it is a us tmo brand, i believe it is bricked (as you flashed a .51 radio.)
if you flashed your stock rom from your sd card, hspl is removed. if you flashed over usb, and did not uninstall hspl, hspl is still there.
what i don't get is if you can flash a rom, why are you saying it is bricked? no offense, but each post seems to change the story (first it was a rom, the a radio, now you are flashing roms but sending the phone in, still don't know if you can get into booloader, but now you sent the phone in or is it in your possession???) and i am not following what you did, where you started or what is going on. maybe i am totally missing what you are saying (which is possible)...hope someone can help you.
i have the 1024 us tmous hd2. i tried to flash to a stock rom, forget i said radio. i tried to flash the .51 which i did not know would brick my phone, so i played dumb with htc and sent it in to get repaired. if they dont repair it i am kinda SOL because i flashed using usb and they will see it has HSPL. sorry, do i need to include anything else? i am just kinda a noob... sorry.
i swear i posted a response. hmm.
thank you for the details. your assessment of the situation is spot on; unfortunately your phone is indeed bricked. and likely htc will not know about hspl...or so i have heard from others.
curious, why did you send it to htc? did tmobile reject it? if not, and htc doesn't give you a new one, try getting it to tmobile (under warranty)- worked for me when the phone stopped working for unknown reason. good luck.
possible to make it back to work...?
