[Q] Bricked? - HD2 General

Hey guys, I need some help with my shiny new brick. So I had android running on the phone from nand. So one day while using it, I decided to clear my information from it within android (Settings>Privacy>Factory Data reset). Anyway, this completely F'd my phone. So what I did was try to install a new nand android rom, but that did'nt work either. So then I said let me go back to windows mobile. THAT WONT WORK EITHER!!!
Where I am now:
HSPL installation is successful when I try it (spl version 2.0.8)
Windows mobile stock 6.5 gets stuck at 8%
Task 29% gets stuck at 0%
flashing any rom from the sd card doesnt work either
I feel like I've tried every approach, to no avail. I've read over every thread known to man with this problem, no answer. They all say either task 29 or flash the stock rom, neither of which are working here.
Currently the phone gets stuck on the Stick together screen, then just resets again.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Question... was it a recovery zip or direct nand rom?

Try reformatting the SD card fat32 from the computer, write a fresh image file to it and try to flash from SD again. I don't know why but if I don't reformat the SD card each time, my HD2 never takes a flash. It might not work for you, but it's worth a try. I hope it helps.

[Q] Bootloader, battery drain and cannot "Haret" Android anymore.

All,
I try to make it as brief as possible.
this is what i post on the winmo section :
Dear All,
I try to make it short:
1. from winmo migrated to android
2. HSPL-ed 2.08
3. ran task29
4. installed barebone energy rom
5. clrd and haret. use mdeejay froyo android rom.
6. not satisfied with PPP and camera
7. wanna change back to winmo
8. CANNOT ENTER BOOTLOADER
9. pull out sd card, battery and sim card for 15 mins
10. hold -vol, successfully entered BOOTLOADER
11. have to repeat same procedure "pull out sd card, baterry and sim card for 15 mins" in order to enter booatloader
12. try enter bootloader from activesync, failed! have to pull out everything for 15mins in order to enter bootloader.
why is it happen "that" way? is it because of android (haret? or clrd?)? how to get back my normal way of entering bootloader without pulling out everything for 15mins?...
thanks

My battery drained even faster, 15% per hour
my idle process used 100% at all time

i cant run Android anymore. i used to run on Android before. i took all action required provided in this forum. but still didnt success.
when running Haret, my screen stuck at green HTC logo and black background. i left it for night long, but still stuck.
i reformat sd card, not quick format, format thru pc and hp, still no luck
what should i do now?
Hope this helped
So let me summerize your probs,
1-Bootloader can't be accessed normally.
2-Android won't boot.
3-Battery Drains alot.
TBH I've never faced such problem, but try to start freshly, from scratch.
1-Run task29 to remove installed ROM.
2-Flash a new ROM, different than the old one.
3- Format Memory card (without putting the back up back)
4-Try to enter bootloader (vol v-^ boot) [Your first & third problem may be solved here,proceed to next step]
5-Put a fresh Android folder, without using the old one and without using a back up .
6- Boot Android
a few questions :
What radio did you have ?
Did you flash recently a stock rom with HSPL on ?
Does this problem happen with a certain Android build or all builds ?
Feedback what happened.

Thanks, at last!
you are right, thats summarized what are the problems that ive been facing now.
I always ran task29 before any installations of new ROM
I flashed various of official ROMs and cooked ROMs. None of them giving the result that I want. The battery still draining like hell and I cant access bootloader normally. I have to pull out everything for 15mins 1st, put it back, then I can access bootloader by holding up -vol. But still, it wont solve my battery issue.
I formatted my SD thru HP, thru PC (full format, not quick format), nothing happen at all. Still cant load Haret/Android. I left it for night long, stuck at HTC logo with black background.
To Answer your questions
various Radio(s) I've tried; .50,.51 including the newest one.
yes, I flash stock ROM with HSPL on when I encounter this problem
Its happen to all build, Winmo and Android.
phew, I still believe that I've taken necessary steps in order to get back my HD2 to perform at its normal condition.
Thanks, Please advise.

Maybe your HSPL is defected (Idk how would that happen)
But try to remove it, flash stock ROM 3.14, Don't HSPL, Try to run android, different build.
And never use 51 radio ! .. Always stick to 50 .. also what class your sd-card is ?
Because I've never read about your problem anywhere ..
Faris,
ive tried flash various HSPL from 1.42 till 2.08. still have same probs.
and i already tried 3.12 official rom, still batt prob and wont solve bootloader prob.
yeah, im on .50 radio now.
ive 2 SD cards, 8GB each, class 1 and class 2.
thanks.

HI BOYS...
I have had a problem with reflash to the HD2, installing WP7, the new version with NODO, has made to depart the whole procedure without inserting the SD...
When I have realized of I mistake it, I have reformatted the DEVICE and referred everything... but at the end of the trial when it had to load the WP7 you/he/she has given me: 1234FATAL hits 4
Don't I now succeed in making to correctly depart WP7, WE can help me in this problem to resolve ?
HELP ME!
have you try to flash to stock ROM winmo 6.5?go to tricolor screen and flash back to original ROM,then task29 your SD card and follow the steps to re-flash WP7 ROM. Hope this help.
in practice reloading WP7 I have noticed that he/she doesn't write me nothing on the SD, I will now try to flash the original ROM...

fatal hit possible cure if happens
first sorry i didn't see this earlier but had same problem if you have an extra sd card like 2gb and reflash rom then use the other card so nand can clean up the mess in part4.nbh don't ask me why but work for me also if it still happens you might what to check sd card and make sure it class 2 or if first partition is degraded

[Q] Freezing issue for the clever folks

Hello folks, I appear to have gotten into bother during a rom flash. After successfully installing a MAGLDR nand rom via CWM, the first boot of said rom just gives me the frozen splash screen without animation and the boot does not complete. Happens the same with three different roms.
I suspected somewhere further back in the boot process was at fault so I reflashed a known working radio rom, but problem still persists.
Despite a LOT of reading I can't see much about freezes at this point in the boot process on MAGLDR roms.
Bits that work - HSPL rainbow boot screen happily comes up, Task 29 works, magldr reinstalls and works fine, CWM perfect. Installs roms from SD (freshly reformatted) and appears to be ready to go, until boot actually begins then... splash screen freeze.
I have redownloaded various versions of everything to ensure no issues with corrupt files. I have also used different SD cards and ensured freshly formatted FAT32.
If it helps anyone, I have previously used NDT CM7 12.1 for about a month with zero problems.
Any other less obvious stuff I'm missing?
I'm off to bed so will be approx 7 hours from post time when I start responding. In the meantime I've put MAGLDR 1.10 on the phone so at least it can charge!
Many thanks in advance for reading.
Replying to self with update:
Installed OzRom Winmo 6.5 via the tried and trusted CustomRUU method, and it appears to work perfectly. What is winmo doing that android nand roms don't? I assumed if there had been bad blocks on the nand the much larger windows mobile rom would have covered this, and thus failed on boot.
At least opens the door to using an SD build till I can troubleshoot. Odder and odder.
Forgive my ignorance, but if the CustomRUU flash method still works for me, are there any modern android roms that don't need MAGLDR or clk?
Again, many thanks.

How long have you been leaving the ROM on the boot screen? A first install of an Android ROM can take anywhere up to and over 15 mins for first boot. I also remember one when installing a hyperdroid ROM I had to restart the phone once to get passed boot splash.
I'd recommend flashing a popular ROM, leaving it for 20 mins, restarting and leaving another 20 mins. What do you have to lose? Just remember magldr doesn't have charge while off capabilities!
Also check your partition sizes and layout (you have to edit flash.cfg for magldr builds, partition sizes depend on the rom you pick but will be specified in the ROM thread).
Thanks for the reply. Each time I left the rom on the boot screen for a good half hour, and in one case an hour. I have installed NDT 12.1 and the newer v16 successfully before, so I know what sort of timescales are involved. I also had a go at an earlier Typhoon build. Naturally I used only the recovery sizes specified in each rom's own thread, using versions of MAG/CWM specified there, and Task 29 beforehand.
I have an update to all this, however. Previously I said Winmo installed, but now it is bugging out to all hell. This might fit my "bad blocks in nand" hypothesis, perhaps the files covering the bad area are less critical than the ones in each android build, and Winmo just crosses its fingers and tries to boot anyway!
In any case, if I can get an SD android build running I'll cut my losses and stick with whatever works.
Cheers again, hopefully this random screed of info will help people. Seems to be if all else fails, try winmo.

Help.. HD2

Hey guys,
So my problem, I downloaded Xperia Beta ARC installed it seemed that everything was fine, used the storage alterer, since then my sd card doesnt work in any device! iv not been able to flash another rom or anything to my HD2.
So i tried the HD2 Android NAND Toolkit and task29'd it.
now im stuck on the loading screen just sits there does nothing. i fear iv ruined my HD2 any advice would be great. iv litlary tried everything! im not going to be able to use the sdcard anyone got any ideas of flashing a rom to the unit, i tried to get wp7 onto it but keep getting a error.
Any help much appreciated.
update -
trying downloading win 6.5 exe see if i cant get it back to original state! fingers crossed. could use a program to fix my SD card as i think its just a partition issue.

yes well it would do, you just removed the rom by task29'ing.
no clue what the storage alterer is, so cant help, but simply entering magldr, then from there cwm should let you flash a rom (once you sort teh card out, of course)
EDIT - oh right you used the toolkit, which also removes magldr(that isn't always the case), so you will need to flash that again too, , magldr - cwm partitioning - new rom.
To be honest, iv tried everything to fix the sd card, but its just a bit gutting its working then next minute its destroyed due to partions! will just purchase a new one and see how it goes!
Got the windows 6.5 onto my phone, im hopeing i can now go to win7! until i sort out my SD card issue.

[Q] Help me

Hi everybody!
I flashed WP7 for my HD2, but when installed, the fist time boot up HD2 only runs to gogogo is to restart itself. I removed the battery for about 5 minutes and restarted the WP7 again, but it's only runs about 15 minutes to restart itself and repeat the above error.
Any help?
Task29-Format Your SD Card -Install WM -Install Magldr-Do Two Wipe-Install WP7 Rom
Have Fun
Thanks for your reply.
I did as your guide, But the HD2 still fails as above
so did it work on WM (6.5) ok or not.
You must be missing a step somewhere
ahhynt branch
It Ok, I flashed WM 6.5 or Android, It work OK.
me too
Me too.
Please tell me when slove it,thanks.
so the first thing that comes to mind assuming you have had Android and WM6.5 working is the SD card.
The big difference is that WP7 needs a good working SD card in order to operate.
At the first install and boot it needs to see a clean formatted card ( FAT 32) or wont work.
Also directly after your WP 7 flash you have to hard reset the phone !!!
Are you sure you have the correct HSPL
Are you sure you have flashed the correct radio for the rom you are trying to flash.
Good luck
Hi!
I have replaced another memory card and flash the WP7, but it boot is very difficult, stop and reboot it in "go go go", I must remove the battery then re-start, and it runs very well. What's must I do?
check to Make sure your battery contacts are making proper contact with battery.

battery??? you don't need to install wm6.5 everytime you want install wp7. just task29...install magdlr...perform the necessary magdlr prep steps (10-services, 5-clear mbr, 4-uselast24nand)..then flash wp7.
also, if your sd was not usable...it would have at least booted and told you the sd was bad. but make sure you do the magdlr prep steps before flashing wp7.
as for the battery, he's saying that sometimes the middle battery contact has a tendency to be out of place...check your contacts are all in correct position.
