My HD2 had been working fine for the 14 months Iv had it, woke up this morning to find the touch screen would not respond, tried taking the battery out and rebooting, still didnt work. So I plugged it into my computer to back up, and guess what the screen workks.
Take the usb out of the phone and it will work fine, untill you lock the phone and then it wont unlock again. PLug it back into the computer and I can unlock the phone and use it.
Any Ideas. Deperate for help as im away from home on business.
Similar problem here, except part with computer. Since yesterday, I can't unlock it When I turn it on, first time unlock works, and everything is perfect, but when I lock it, it can't be unlocked without pulling the battery out and restarting it. I tried reinstalling system, even removing hspl, and getting back to windows 6.5, but it's the same
Anyone have any idea what is the problem??
Thanks in advance
As far as I'm familiar with this problem it is the hardware problem. If you guys still have your warranties send your HD2s to HTC and they will surely repair it
If you're running Android or WP7 or only have HSPL on your devices make sure to get back to stock rom
Just found it in another thread try this: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3-PNYwpYeI

I have a g4 8125 and tried to flash black diamond 2.0 using shelltool. I followed all the instructions, but I may have messed something up. I installed the enablerapi and certspcs files on my phone, but i realized later that i did this after turning off my radio. After flashing I made a hard reset, and now it just comes to the cingular splash screen and shows my ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0) and doesn't load anything. Anyone have any ideas? It won't connect to activesync either.
edit: sorry for my ignorance, thanks for the help though!

For starters, hold down the camera + power button whil poking at the reset button
Hello there.
This is my first post, and I hopefully pray that I don´t get a "Please Do a search" kind of answer as I have been doing a hard search through the forum but haven´t found what I´m looking for. Probably I´m just using the wrong search terms but english is not my native language so I´m not sure how to look up for this issue.
First, I unlocked the sim of my device by sending it to a third party. Afther that, the phone came with a Wizard-Love OS installed, and finally I got excited and started to mess around with the Shelltool to get the device upgraded to WM6. (It´s a G4 by the way).
First I successfully upgraded to wm6 wee htc wizard v5.2.660, but then I found that the keyboard mapping was all wrong with the shown special characters (they weren´t where they were supposed to be at all), so i tried messing up with the registry trying to select a local language for spanish with no success at all....
Also I was having some issues trying to connect to internet via wi-fi even when I did get connected to the network, but did not test it hard enough.
Then I went farther trying to "shelltool" a Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom, but then everything became a real mess... The Shelltool said that it was finish only like 4 to 5 minutes after starting so I disconected and Hard Reseted the unit. Don´t remember if I disabled the radio before flashing it, nor if I had the sd card installed on the device at the flashing momment, but definetly i had reinstalled the cert_spcs and EnableRapi cabs prior to this seccond attempt.
After the hard reset, it started but freezed on the first screen showing the ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0). Then I hard reset like two more times, with no luck. Then I entered on the bootloader mode, but after trying that for a while the phone stopped responding. It did not turn off, so I removed the battery. Then when I put the battery back the unit did not turn on at all. Even it did not show the charging red light when I connected it to the usb nor the wall ac adapter. I was devastated... I leaved the unit with the battery out all the night and the next day I reinstalled the battery to see that the device did turn on and did charge, but still it was locked on the splash window.
I tryed to reflash the unit using the bootloader under windows xp, after killing the activesync connection and using the wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WEE_Novii_CF2 rom. The unit showed a progress bar so the pc and after 10-12 minutes it was done. I Hard reseted the unit but then it always started on the bootloader screen as if I was pressing the camera button.
Hard reseted, soft reseted, battery out and in, no luck. Then it went dead again. It did not turn on at all and no charging light. Once again i leaved the unit all day without battery and send it to the friend that had unlocked the sim for me. He just called me and told me that the unit was now up and running again with wizard_love rom. I´m really not sure how he did it. Probably i did something with the sd inserted when it was supposed to be out. I did flashed the wizard love on bootloader with the sd inserted but i´m not sure if that could have make the mess.
I would like to know if anyone have had this kind of lock up and how to deal with it (how much time to leave the battery out, etc). Also I will love to know how did my friend (he wont tell me as is it´s bussines and he charges for it) finally restarted my unit flashing wizard_love again, as I´m still too curious to not try to flash my unit again and probably be on the same mess once again.
Thanks in advance.
That's a lovely 1st post. If every one is to be like that.. it would be just to nice to help others.
Anyway, this may not sound logical, but I get problems with Shelltools when I do not have the official ROM flashed before another flash. What I would suggest is that, you ought to have an official ROM (check Wiki to download your official ROM flashing EXE), which seems to get me out of trouble a few times.
Also, it maybe wise to check your battery before any flashing attempt, make sure it is 100% (60% will do mostly, but in case of an emergency, that 40% helps). It cases where a phone doesn't go charge/bootloader, it is battery problem. The overnight thingy that you've done, probably rest the battery long enough to boost it to a charge (e.g. how you get a blink when you switch off a torchlight for period of time on a low batt).
Good also among your information, tell us the IPL/SPL/Radio on the ROM you are using.
Before I start I know how touchy people are about searching forums and the wiki etc... but I already have!
Ok so, I tried to flash a new ROM to my phone last night, I have done it before without problems however this time I was having trouble getting the phone to connect to my laptop (I run Windows 7). Both USPL and HSPL wouldn't work (in fact active sync wouldn't even recognise it).
So I went to bed, woke up and... My phone didn't work at all
I spent ages trying to get it too work, I tried putting it into bootloader, but nothing happened, I tried getting it to Hard reset, but nothing happened. (By nothing happens i mean the screen doesn't turn on).
The only sign of life i get from it is the little vibration that usually occurs after the 'smart mobility' screen appears. Except this is delayed by about 10 seconds from after pressing the Power button.
The delay makes me think that there is something else wrong with the phone other then the screen...
Please help!!
Oh and I am sorry for the essay... I only just realised how long and rambling it is haaa.
UPDATE: right it just connected to activesync but still nothing on the screen, is there any way of checking for definite that the screen is broke before I fork out for a new one? There is astill the massive delay between turning the phone on and getting the little vibration...
Try removing battery overnight, then re-inserting. Then try to get to bootloader or hard reset
how exactly did you manage to brick it? did you flash the rom in question with uspl, or do u generally have hard spl installed? i dont know but it looks like the bootloader is somehow broken ...
Ok I will try doing that, thank you for helping
And no, I didnt get as far as flashing the ROM because active sync never recognised the phone in Bootlaoder. I usually use USPL.
Did you fix it? and if so how?
I have very similar issues with my HD right now. Screen went black, bought a new LCD and still the same problem. Oddly enough the only way I can get the screen to come on is to take the battery out and set both battery and phone body in my window sill for half an hour or so. It is cold here right now and they are both pretty cool to the touch when I take them out. Put it back together and tada! Screen comes on. I dunno what the deal is also, don't know if its the battery or phone being cold that makes it work again??? I am going to try and figure it out.. Try it on yours it may help
I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.
In my attempt to run Android I think I accidentally bricked my phone/
Couple weeks ago I installed HSPL3 in my phone, after this I installed Chucky GTX ROM and also I installed Radio 2.12 then I installed HTC Sense Desire Build but Android wasnt running fine at all.
Ok last week unistall Chucky ROM and installed Energy.Leo.COM2.Barebones WM Build.For.Android, I changed the the radio to 2.15 and I installed MCCM SE V3.4 FroyoStone Sense which it ran great and did not had any problem with it. But about two days ago I would try to unlock the screen but the screen would not respond at all so, I thought it w9s just android so I turned the phone off and boot into windows but the touch screen was unresponsive also. Usually it would come back to normal where the phone would work just fine but today it did it and the phone completely stopped working.
I thought if I change the ROM it would fix it, so I change the ROM and Radio but with no success, in my desperation trying to fix it I googled the problem and I read that if I execute Task 29 that might would fix it, so I did but it only stays on the boot screen (it has ENERGY Boot loader) and it does not show at the bottom Radio, ROM or anything that it usually shows.
The last thing that I did was try to hard reset it but it did not work, I really would like someone to help me with this if there is anything I can do to fix my phone, please, please I would really appreciate it. Thanks before hand
...your phone isn't bricked. Task 29 erases your ROM from your phone. I wish people would stop recommending Task 29 because people who don't read don't understand what it does. Anyways, you need to load another ROM onto your phone now and see if the screen works...more than likely, it won't. This is a known problem with the HD2 running Android from the SD card and we are still not quite sure of the cause or of a fix other than sending the phone back to HTC for repair, which costs around 125USD if your device is not under warranty.

Here is the ittle issue I have I plug my phone to my computer (the phone is off) and when I try to turn it on the phone does not cuts on at all. I took the battery off the phone and turn it on and it actually cuts on, then I plug it to my computer but the light on the phone is not on. Is there anything you could recommend me to do. Thanks again.

What do you mean by "cuts in?" If you tasked 29 your phone you gotta hold down the volume down toggle and at the same time turn you phone on to access your bootloader. Then plug it into the computer and it'll say usb, blah, blah, blash, and flash a rom.

It worked I did what u tell me to do and I installed Chucky ROM in the phone I again and is the touch screen is working, everything got bak to normal. Thank you so very much and Im sorry for the trouble, I guess I need to read next time before I do anything like this.
Help please. I was running WP7 and the phone started giving me problems when trying to wake it up and slide away the unlock screen. I thought it may be a bug in WP7 so i reformatted the SD card and flashed back to 6.5. During the first boot the screen functions fine, but as soon as it locks, and I attemp to use the slider on the lockscreen, the phone is unresponsive. Tried soft and hard reset..Phone works fine until the first sleep.
I am starting to think its hardware related but i dont understand why it works fine until the first time it locks itself.
I'm having the same problem. And the freeze also started after trying the wp7 Rom. Even when I'm on win 6.5 it still keeps freezing the screen after first lock. I hope it's not a hardware problem.
Hardware problem, just got back home from the post office to ship mine out. Many threads on it. If you are under warranty, revert stock rom and SPL and send it in. Please answer the poll in m sig below so we can have some good data on which ones are breaking.
