Unbrick HD2 with JTAG HTC HD2/LEO - HD2 General

Hi Guys,
While searching for solutions to unbrick my HD2 TMOUS i came across this gadget.
It connects to the HD2's PCB directly without soldering. this connection adapter is available at http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,7912,menu_mode,categories.html which costs around $16. but the expensive part is the adapter that connects to the PC to flash the phone. this costs $229. http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,6503,menu_mode,categories.html
Its all expensive for an individual to buy these gadgets. but there is probably people or service centers who own these.
Do you know of any place where we can get this phones unbricked other than the HTC service centers?

Cool, looks like something that could be very useful.

Cool.. i knew somebody should be having it around here.. keep us updated..

Will do.. I guess the device is as bricked as it can possibly be

looks like a less expensive alternative...
anyone unbrick using this?

I just think only the JTAG can do it..
but who can try it?

Hello,
I've a bricked HTC HD2 1024LEO from US T-mobile I've unlocked and I've 2.02 ROM but can't anymore change... Can someone help me, I live in Belgium...

I also have bricked HD2 LEO phone and I need the full dump to flash it with jtag since it can not enter to boot mode anymore. and the SPL area is damaged too, now the only solution is to full flash it with JTAG.
I already have the ORT JTAG tool and the phone is connected OK to the JTAG interface but I do not have the full dump for this phone.
will be grat if anyone can send the full dump for it so that it can be revive, I already tried to search for the full dump but it is not there.
Best Regards

SPL is required at least partially to work in order to have JTAG working.

no need full dump enter support and download repair file .ort after uplaod..

I already tried the repair file from support area (there are three differant files and I tried them all) and it did not help because the phone have been flashed with HD2 512 dump file by mistake. now to revive it I need the full dump for 1024 version.
Best Regards.

I've used the Riff Box on my T-Mobile HD2. I'm not an electrical engineer so I also used the Multi-Com HD2 USA PCB. This worked perfectly and my device turned on again after three weeks being dead.
Cost me a lot for the postage of both items seperately to New Zealand (about NZ$120). There is a brick fix dll for the HD2 so its just a matter of reading the instructions and forums carefully before attempting the ressurection.
I suppose I would be happy to help anyone living on this side of the world.

yes it worcks
hi guys i did try the jiff jtag and it works , i contacted the guys at multicom and i send my phone there , they fix it and now it works perfect , all that i can say to you is please be more careful
good luck

Yes Good Question bro.....
Have got one P3450 & some one tryed to change its language & loaded P3452 rom on it & not its stuck in tri colour/ Boot mode any ways i found its DID & CID using snoopy & mtty but this DID:-ELF010050 & CID:- VODAP102 is not avaible so the ways i know to give this cell life is in 2 options
1:- Great Olipor can do this i know very welll as he has did same one for me in past but he charges very high to creat fixer for such sets....................& this time its not so affordable soooooooo
2:- I planed to give some time on this work & try with its JTAG if it can be possible.....
If any one knows ways pleas co-operate...
Thanks to all In advance how keeps affords to build thisup......
You mentioned CID locked and such?
I thought there was a free CID unlock tool in the ELF Upgrading forums.
And yes, even if you are stuck at that 3 colour boot screen, you can still plug in the usb cable and unbrick your device from there.

brick HD2 Return & Tmobile Policy ?

Hi All,
i installed HSPL2 2.8.0000 i think and i installed Kumar ROM. after a week i installed non tmobile ROM and my phone is dead. it does not show the phone is charging and it does not turn on at all. i try Volume + Power and nothing happens. if i get a replacement phone from tmobile, do you guys think they can find out what went with this phone ? can they hold me any legal terms ? what worst can happen if they find out ?
thanks
I work for tmo customer care and the worst case scenario is that you'll be charged a $100 out of warranty fee as the issue was caused by human error not the manufacturer. As far as I am aware there are no legal ramifications. Just call and say your phone won't turn on and you don't know why. They will run you through all the troubleshooting, just make them understand the issue is NOT with your battery or charger as they may want to replace those first if they believe its a power issue.
quite a lot of people have returned tmous in that condition, after flashing a .51. radio, and no one has said anything about any comebacks. The only people that have been charged are those who sent it back where you CAN get into bootloader, and they left hspl visible.
In your case they wont be able to get into bootloader, so you should be fine.
thank you all.
you guys are the best...

Hi there all,
Just want to confirm one thing as I have read over 100 posts and did not find a clear answer.
So I bricked my TMOUS HTC HD2 and I Have tried all ways to get into bootloader, but no luck (v. down + power) like a million times and every time I hook the phone to the PC i get the Qualcomm Diagnostics interface 3197 com port.
These where the steps I did before it got bricked:
1- Flashed using HSPL3 to 2.08.HSPL from SPL 2.08.0000
2- To change language I Installed the following ROM (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_ARA_1.66.415.4_Radio_Signed_15.30. 50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship)
3- Got a message that phone was successfully flashed with the new ROM.
4- Phone got shutdown and bricked/dead
These are my phone details before I did any of the above as I saved them before I did anything in case of any damage and forgot to investigate radio issues hehehehehe:
Rom Version: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Rom Date:02/22/10
Manila Version:2.5.20121412.1
OS Version:5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Radio Version:2.08.50.08_2
After all the posts I read, I understand that my mistake was that I flashed My tmous HD2 with a .51 radio and that's the cause for the phone to brick.
My question is:
is it possible in any way for me or a tmous service center to enter into bootloader mood using any means. if no than I'm verrrrry happy cuz they will never be able to see the HSPL I flashed.
I would appreciate your confirmation. I know you mentioned it above that they can't, but just wanted to confirm before i send it to them.
Thanks to all the help we get from everyone here. Keep up the good work
***we live and learn***
Yes. Your situation is exactly the same as the OPs. Youre ok. Send it in. Get a new one.
help!!!!!
so i think i just bricked mt hd2, i was flashing the radio rom and now the phone wont do anything......
i was trying to find a radio that worked with android.
the Fing part is that this is the replace phone i just got in and now if i call back to tmobile will they be able to see what i did to the phone, cause they will press charges for misleading info
so plz help with any info
email- [email protected]
thanks
send it in and get another one!
yeah i bricked my hd2 tmobile usa as well. I went to install HSPL again after i took it off and it went trough fine then it crashed. I'm waiting for a new 1 to arrive soon then i will send mine back and hope they cant get into anything. Nothing comes on the screen no lights at all, so i hope i can by pass

[Q] HTC HD2 Dead (for good?). Pls Help

Hi There,
I have an HTC HD2 T-mobile USA. I was dumb enough to flash the "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50. 07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship" into my phone and now it is dead.
I read in some previous posts that I could try to SD-card-flash the stock ROM2.13 (under 4G card, changing extensions and renaming the file, entering the Bootloader, etc.).
I could not find a "stick" post with step-by-step instructions. For instance, I need to know more on how to access the Boot-loader on the HD2
Is there anybody out there that tried this method with success? Replies to previous post are unclear on that.
Thanks
K
its dead. the radio in the rom you flashed has destroyed it.
two options
warranty/repair shop
jtag

Can you tell me more about the Jtag process? Is it possible for me to do on my own?
Please, advise.
Thank you
K.
Honestly, not to seem like a douche...but if you bricked your HD2 by flashing an incompatible ROM, after all of the warnings and such that are everywhere about the .51 radios, I think that JTAG'ing is a little out of your range of skill. It involves takeing your device completly apart, soldering 5-ish tiny wires to tiny pads, and then reflashing the original SPL to your motherboard...not an easy task by any means. I would phone up HTC or T-Mobile and see what they say about warranty/repair.
Before you send your phone away to HTC or try to get your phone company to replace it, try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
My very first flash went badly, I think due to a bad usb cable, and this was my only way out.
If this works, you'll be stuck on the test rom, but it is fully functional and still can be customised just about as much as any cooked rom, with a little time and effort.
Best of luck!

help.my hd2 cant update

I have original T-mobile hd2.I was have lastest wp7 and latest radio and hspl.I tried to install win mobile 6.5 as restart and volume down installed as usb after complete it was showing bootloader hspl.restarted many times but same result.i tried to install older hspl and older radio Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2
now its black.when connect device it ask for qualcomm drivers and windows mobile device cant recognize it.so searched here for drives and found samsung qualcomm cdma drivers.drivers successful but still not synce appeared.tried reame nbh file as leoimg.nbh and volume down.but there is all black on my hd2.only the qualcomm device connected which i seen on device manager.so any 1 can help me?please please please
from what i know that radio is way outdated. 2.15.50.....is a good radio that ive been using
If you can not get to the multicolor bootloader screen by holding down the volume down button wbile your HD2 is booting up then sorry to tell you, your HD2 is bricked. Only using JTAG and a RIFFBOX can save it. Or replacing the mainboard will save it.
Sorry I just reread your post you installed radio version 2.04.50.22 to your HD2. This and any radio version 2.05.50.xx were the radio ersions used in the test tom's for the TMOUS HD2 but were still used in regular HD2's so any of the radio version 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx will brick a TMOUS HD2 just like any radio version x.xx.51.xx. Sorry bit I know for sure .ow your HD2 is bricked and like I said JTAG or replace your mainboard is the only way to revive it.

First off reread my first post as I edited it. Secound you will need a HTC HD2 JTAG make sure you get tbd solderless one, and a RIFFBOX to connect to the JTAG. You will need the cables to connect the RIFFBOX to the JTAG and to your computer. You will also need a smal hex head screwdriver to take your HD2 apart with. You will have to google to find the software you need or it might come with the RIFFBOX i do not know as I have never done it and I only know the tools you need to do it. Best of luck friend.

You can order the JTAG and RIFFBOX online. here is a link to a site that has them, but I wdjibouti you the RIFFBOX will cost you.
http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,7912,menu_mode,categories.html
Tht link will take you straight to the JTAG but look around some on that site and you will find a RIFFBOX with all the cables included.
Also there is a couple of members here on XDA that can do this for you if you are willing to pay shipping and handling to send them your HD2 plus a small fee for them of course. But it is still cheaper than buying it yourself. Here are two threads you can check out.

No this will not work for you as you have a truly bricked HD2 and can not get to boorloader. A lot of people here have a missconception about what a bricked HD2 is. If you can not get to bootloader you have a bricked HD2,if you can still get to bootloader then the HD2 is not bricked. What that thread is talking about is not a truly bricked HD2, it is a HD2 that either bas a noncompatible ROM are bad a bad ROM flash.Trust me trying the steps in that thread will do you no good.

Wow... you have exactly same story as mine... I ****ed up my phone today, it was working fine. My phone is not even 4 months old (TMou HD2) and today it gave up hard on me.
Now, it won't go past HTC Logo (splash screen). I have been reading stuffs and trying to do magic, let's see what happens.
If I get to fix it, I promise I will post the solution. Stay tuned
Thank you man, if you can boot to HTC or can get in bootloader, flash up ROM from SD CARD.. mine is dead so im dont know that to do..
Im will be active man, see ya.
I hate to say it but I don't see any way out of this for you I'm afraid. Without JTAG your device is completely bricked. The best you can do now is sell it online as a bricked device and hope someone wants it.
Man there isnt JTAG here,ho want to buy bricked HD2.. im can get only 60$ for it! Somebody says my motherboard die, somebody im must du it with JTAG!
This post here is to help every other member with HD2!
We need some fix or just to try,,,
I must try!
Best wishes!

Tried everything including "Try to flash via SD Card" but no luck. My HD2 was not very old (95 days) hence contacted seller.
The seller and agreed to give me a replacement so I am shipping this to him. I hope I get my replacement soon.
In the mean time, i am going to buy a MicroMax A110 which is available in India for some US$ 85 (INR.10,000). Not bad for a 1 Ghz dual core phone.
Wish you a good luck if you get to fix it else sell it on eBay or maybe send it to someone else who might know some JTAG in their town.
