Are you sure we're talking "rooting" here?
From the symptoms it sounds more like you attempted a boot loader unlock on a device that's past 11W29 and hard bricked it...
Q: If you connect the phone to the charger, does it show the battery symbol with the "flash" above it? Does the green LED light up?
If yes: Battery almost empty. Charge it up.
If no: No way we're talking "I rooted my phone" here - in that case you attempted a boot loader unlock that went wrong.

Read what B.Jay posted and what 2010matej posted.
If these things don't work, you have a $90 paperweight on your hands.
I am from greece and i found somewhere that they can repair it http://www.gsm-technology.com/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,8466,menu_mode,categories.html and it says that The shipping cost from Poland to Greece of this product is only 40.16 EUR and i am thinking to send x8 to them or to buy one of this http://www.gsm-technology.com/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,6503,menu_mode,categories.html or to search a shop here if anyone could help me i would appreciate much plzz
If someone has JTAG and he is willing to help me just say here or pm i need help !

Since you already searched for a repair possibility I think the talk about "I rooted my phone and suddenly it won't turn on anymore" is off the table and should be taken as "I unlocked my boot loader without checking the forums and hard bricked it now".
Anyhow, I don't think you'll have much luck asking for someone having a RIFFBox around here in the X8 area - the average age of the guys in here is 16-18 at best.
If you think you're better off trying to find someone who could take a stab at trying to resurrect the phone I'd rather put a post into a fitting sub board at the "General discussion" section.
The best option would be to send it off to SE, given you should still have warranty (though no one can guarantee that they will repair it for free).
the problem is that this is the new phone !
Send if off to SE for repair and "play dumb".
Like: "It suddenly doesn't work anymore."
IF it's a hard brick due to boot loader unlocking the chances are pretty slim they will notice what you did.
If it's some sudden hardware problem (and you didn't mess around with the boot loader) - same recommendation - send it to SE for repair.
Of course you could also try to handle the repair through the shop where you bought the phone in case you have no means to send it directly to SE.

Exactly pauk1998, chill. I mean tge phone's dead right ? How are they to proove you tried to unlock bl ? As far as i know, all evidence was destroyed with the hard brick. If its still very new, like less than a month, i think SE wont bother repairing it and just give you a new one
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
i take the phone in saturday and it was destroyed in two ****ing hours (sorry for my words :/ )
i will send back tu the store and i will see what they will tell me . Their is no way to find out that is my mistake right?

Of course there is.
Depending on where you bought it, they'll plug it into a computer and see that you tried to mod the phone, at which point they'll say that your warranty is void.
Unless you bought it from a store full of idiots. Then they might just take it back, no questions asked.

(first of all, I didn't knew where else to post this topic to ask this, excuse me if it's posted somewhere wrong)
So I kinda gave up on my magic, R.i.P.
now i was wondering...
that if I take my phone back to the store... and that i shouldn't get a new one immediatly, bcuz they have to send it to htc facotry... how big is the chance they will know I rooted it and it didn't just mallfunction from its own?
or isn't it possible that they just throw in some new rom? They made it so it shouldn't be to hard to get that fixed...
anyone perhaps has experience with sending back his phone or going back to the store?
tell me what happened... did you get a new one, did you had to pay something to get it fixed or just bought a new phone...
all information is welcome either here on the board or by email first_dimension at hotmail dot com <-
thanks ahead guys...
greetings
a desperate dumazz belgian guy who ****ed up his phone badly
What has actually happened to your phone, can you describe the problem please, it may not have to go back to the repair center. Thanks
uhm, while flashing it, it fell down of my desk, battery got disconnected, ...
now i get my "proximus" (wich is my mobile provider) startup screen, wich doesn't go away
cant enter boot menu (by pressing menu + power on)
nor safe mode (home + power on)
cant even connect to my computer to flash a new rom or anything...
so it's completely bricked i been looking on the internet for days now tried every solution...
nada man...
nothing more than my startup screen...
(edit)
the only thing i can still do is like, when i hit the trackball and power on button it lights up a blue led...
but i read every magic does that even if not bricked...
I heard that someone thought they bricked their phone because they couldn't do anything with all the button combinations but when they tried fastboot it worked and unbricked their phone. I mean he didn't go into fastboot, he just plugged his phone in via usb and just tried fastboot.
I'm saying try fastboot. If that doesn't work then I'm sorry but you have to return it to get it fixed but since they can't get into anything I'm sure they won't know that it is bricked.
thanks for the reply m8, but i tried this already...
just sais waiting for device or sumthing...
i think i read that answer on some other board aswell that someone was lucky enuf to have that but not here, not in my case
bummer i guess...
My carrier offers insurance to replace a phone even if it was lost or stolen. If this was an option for you, I guess you would have already thought about reporting it "stolen," but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
Sorry to hear about your phone.
I bricked my mytouch and I just called T-mo customer service and they're sending me a replacement for free since it's still under warranty.
i did a radio update and it went blank then it froze and now i can't switch it on or anything it wont even charge HELP!
please if anyone can help HELP!
Welcome to the club mate
Radio update + not turning on = Brick.Tell HTC It said it neede to update so you did and now it wont turn on...2-3 weeks youll get it baack fixed
would they? really i'm within warranty wouldn't they check it?
plus wouldn't they check it
more info its still doesn't start does it matter if i'm rooted? the update i applied was signed :S

Didn't understand half of that sorry, but sometimes if it is totally bricked they just replace it as its easier for them to do so! Or I think they can use hardware to unbrick them, similar to an XTC clip but it involves taking the Legend apart. Something only HTC could do to fix them. But as long as you don't mind sending your phone off there's nothing to lose - they'll either send it back repaired, send back a new one, or send it back unfixed and tell you that you've voided the warranty!
well my phones going to be sent off monday ... yay ... well... i doubt they'll sort it for me but its worth a shot aw well.
they told me to take the back off and remove simcard and leave the battery and also leave the back of the phone off?
either way i hope by monday i can forget about this for a while thanks btw
Hello,
I am new on this forum (speaking of posting) i've been reading alot on this forum.
unfortunately, not enough..
Yesterday i got a htc hd2 from my dad because he couldn't work with it.
the only problem was that if he was calling the other person heard him like being in a bathroom or so,
I tought maybe it was because of the software ( i have put android on it about 2-3 month's ago maybe a bad version)
So i decided to put another version on it..
Well everything worked fine for me , set everything up but internet wouldn't open,
So i decided to reboot the phone, but that's where it went wrong, the whole phone died , not responding on powerbutton or anything else,
So as far as i know it's bricked.
the only wat to unbrick it (i know) is by using a jtag riff box, i don't know anyone in my country (the netherlands) who have it.
Now i don't know what to do.
sell the phone as broken for parts like display etc.
of shall i buy a box myself (107 euro without connector)
What are the points of concidering besides of the money,
is it enough to buy the box + connector and then download the software, or do i need to buy licenses too?
if not it's very attracting, an maybe i can even help other people who have bricked his/hers phone
If anybody have a trustable site for me to buy one in europe also please let me know.

Hi,
Can you get into bootloader?
Power on and hold volume button down.
Can you get into tri-color screen?

No, unfortunatly even that is not working,
The whole phone is not responding on anything.
i can push my powerbutton, but even no light goes on , and nothing appears on the display.
That's why i guess it's bricked (also because i am using a t-mobile sim even it is a HD2 which is sold by a hi (kpn nl) provider)
Nobody has an idea what's best to do? or does know someone in the netherlands with a box?
It would be easier to help you if you would have said what you've done to the phone.
I find it very hard to brick this phone if HSPL was on it, as there is nothing the Malgdr or CWM can do to ruin it (to my knowledge).
Try these two things:
1) Is the battery charged - sometimes that might be the problem
2) Connect the phone to your PC, and see if it recognizes it.
Let us know how it went.

Sorry, don't have a box.
But, Check the battery pins, commonly, one of these are bent, and that's why it won't boot-up.
Does it use Magldr? or cLK? (Eg, when you booted, did you see a black screen with white text, and gogogo as the last line?(magldr) or did it just boot as android(cLK).
If cLK, put your phone in charger and see if the red light turns on.
Hope this helps a bit,
Eelke
I had mine jtag here in teh US I am not sure the cost involved but he can fix it for you if you care to have it shipped here. The person that did it is a member of xda and gave me fantastic service I can send you his website if that interests you. Just PM me if you wish.
Good Luck
Riff?
Never heard of one. Will a repair shop not have one?
Check the battery compartment and see if any pins connecting the battery to the phone are bent in a wrong direction. If so, correct this, put battery back in, connect phone to charger / USB and try turning it on.
Okay, back since a while.
Last week i found my HD2 again, (still not working.. )
So i thought about going to fix it.
I found out it isn't the battery though.. i tried another one in my phone, still dead,
My battery in another phone.. and that works.
So now i want to buy an riff box for sure, i fond some at the internet but i don't know if i can trust those sites...
First one is : http://gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/riff_box_jtag.php
Second one is: http://www.multi-com.pl/
third one is:http://www.ipmart.com/main/
Has anyone of yours some experience with one of these three shops?
1st one would be my first choice because they have all i want to order,
2nd one is the most expensive,
3th, miss something i want, but i can make it on by my own.
So can you please help me figure this out?
Best recommendation from me and your hd2, if you want to learn, is http://www.segger.com/j-link-edu.html (it no need credits, +++ another $, it's tootaly open for all you want with your phone) + great revskills software !!! I am happy user with all that!!! It's not automated process like in riff box but after working with it it's very great and easy!

Indeed it's pretty sh*tty.
Thanks for your link munjeni, but the riff box attracts me more, just because of the easyness.
Nobody some experiences with these sites please?

As long as you pay by PayPal, you should be covered. I'll be interested in knowing how things went...
Hey,
So here`s my problem.
2 days ago my phone just switched off, no warning, no nothing, and won`t switch on ever since.
I already looked around for people that may have the same problem, but every thread talks about the device that won`t go pass the logo screen. It is not my case. My phone doesen`t even show the logo screen, nothing. You can press the power button for as long as you want, it just won`t start. At occasions, it starts up by itself, only for a minute or two and then turns off again.
At first i thought it may be a software problem, so I`ve cold started it and reset it but it didn`t make any difference.
After, I`ve thought... maybe a battery issue, so I`ve talked with a pal that has the same device, switched batteries. Apparently his phone started with my battery just fine, but mine didn`t work with his either.
Does anyone have a clue about what`s happening?.. If yes, please do share. As much as I like having a phone with a mind of it`s own.. it`s just not dependable XD
Thanks
Probably just broken / defective - if under warranty go and ask for repair or replacement (money back probably). If not under warranty sell as broken or throw to the bin - not to worth repair in my opinion.
I spend the same thing to my myself, LG stinks.
Sent from my HTC ONE V using xda app-developers app
Thanks for answering.
Yes, it was a problem with the motherboard.. got it fixed on warranty. Now I barely use the phone, of fear that it will break againXD. Looking forward to selling it while it`s still functional.

I've got mine just back from repair (second time). It use to randomly reboot, now I hope it got repaired ("faulty electronic components have been replaced" - but I don't know what exactly). What I realize is MAC address change. But as they changed firmware from 1.1.8.10 to 1.0.16.10, I wonder if that's why it has new MAC? Does new MAC address means that some component was replaced ? IMEI does not change.
Alright so basically my phone was working perfectly fine 1 hour ago, and I was using whatsapp and all off a sudden my screen started flickering and green lines and stuff started appearing so I pulled the battery and booted again and now my screen is not working at all. the buttons still light up and I can mess around with the volume etc. The phone needs to be sent in for repair. My problem is that my phone is rooted and needs to be unrooted. its also on a custom recovery and it needs its flash counter resetting.
also is the screen dead or gpu?
digitizer doesnt seem to be working even though the screen wont power on, therefore I cant unlock the phone by pattern.
how would I go about doing this? could anyone point me in the right direction any help would be great.
Thanks.
