So I hope this helps those that have a "bricked" HD2. Two weeks ago I had the dreaded "1e Fatal Hit" error. No matter what I did I could not get it back into working state. Here are the steps I took:

1) Flashed Task29

2) Reflashed HSPL 2.08

3) Flashed Radio 2.15

4) Flashed MAGLDR

5) Flashed latest Recovery

I did those steps multiple times, and at times using Task29 a couple of times in a row, and still would get the "1e Fatal Hit" error. Then I:

1) Flashed Task29

2) Flashed a STOCK ROM using both the SD card and Windows method (mine is a TMOUS HD2 so I flashed the appropriate ROM for it)

And still, the phone would stick on the "Sticking Together" splash screen.

Finally this is what I figured out. There is a small yellow button below the microSD card slot that is a reset button. So this is what I did:

1) Flashed Task29

2) Flashed a STOCK ROM for the HD2 (remember has to be a ROM meant for your version of the HD2/Leo). I flashed via the SD card method. Flashing via Windows might work as well.

3) After it finishes flashing, turn the phone off. Grab a paperclip or toothpick. Turn on the phone as you push the reset button in. The phone should turn on and show the splash screen, then turn off, then turn back on again. I let the phone do this two or three times before releasing. After a period of slience for 20 seconds, the phone finally booted into WinMo 6.5's startup screen.

I was then able to flash with Task29, then HSPL, then Radio, then MAGLDR, then Recovery. And the first test was booting into Recovery which finally worked, then tested with a ROM backup.

Anyways hope this helps those pulling their hair out trying to figure this out.

Your a Genius!! Thanks so much worked perfectly after following steps!

PS. You could also use HD2Toolkit to install the NBH flashable/RUU Signed File if the sd card doesnt work for you when going back to stock.

Ha thats really weird, is there a specific thing being done whilst holding reset button down? Thats strange xP
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] retsam88:
Amazing find! How did you find out? Trial and error? Because this is awesome!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikhil711:
Nope, just making sure its on and holding the button down for 10 or so seconds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikhil711:
Actually, after searching on XDA for 15 some-odd hours, I came across someone asking what that button was. So I gave it a last shot and tried it out. I just hope people try it out to save their HD2's. Alot of people either end up reluctantly selling it or trashing it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] retsam88:
People should report if this actually helped them, because this adds +1 to HD2 immortality :)

Anyway, thank you for your find!

My daughter has the battery so i can't try till she gets back tuesday, I know this is about a month or so old but thanks for this.

To flash latest recovery is a good way, but do you have changed the flash.cfg to the matching values of your NAND ROM?

Hey sorry guys I've been away for a while. I'm glad alot of you were able to get it resolved and you can thank me by linking this page to those in need and +1 it. To those that did not get it to work, unfortunately there are quite a few variables that I never really explored. One major one being possible NAND corruption beyond recovery.

I have researched it quite a bit and it seems when going through this whole Rooting/MAGLDR/Recovery process, there are some points where NAND blocks begin to go bad. When performing a phone wipe (whether it be Task29 or a manual process), its possible that some of those bad NAND blocks are never read after the wipe, skewing the number of blocks available and blocks bad. This causes the phone to become fully inoperable over time. There might be a way to completely reset it, but I am not experienced enough to know if its just a software issue, or if its possible damaged hardware.

Other than that I really have no idea why some aren't able to fix it, but best of luck to all of you. I ended up retiring my HD2 and went with the Galaxy Nexus. Although I'll miss the HD2, I think I've had my fill of rooting phones for now and really cant beat the pure Android experience.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikhil711:
Not if you use the HD2 Toolkit or if you use the specific recovery file posted on the ROM-of-your-choice's page.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikhil711:
Hold the reset button in with a toothpick or similar item, THEN hold down the power button to turn it on. Once on, release the power button but do not release the reset button for another 10 seconds. Wait for the first automatic reboot and it should boot into WinMo 6.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikhil711:
Yup! Trial and error and ALOT of research. But the reset button I just stumbled over when examining the phone.

HTC HD2 T-Mobile

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] centralman:
Could someone kind enough to explain how to flash a ROM via the SD Card please? When I try flashing a stock ROM from windows, it always says the HD2 is not connected to the computer through USB but the HD2 itself on the white area already said it's in USB mode, thanks.

By the way, my HD2 was flashed to Android ROM before and it had a startup " 1e FATAL HIT" problem.

I have successfully flashed task 29. Now my next step is to flash the stock rom, and since my computer's hard drive went dead a few months ago I have lost all my "tools" that I downloaded when flashing the HD2 from WINMO to Android.

Looks like the desktop somehow doesn't connect to the HD2 after the task29 flash. On the bootloader screen it says

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

Much appreciated for any help.

Your are the best!!!! it workeddd

In my case i needed to turn on + reset a couple times. after that only the HTC logo appears.

waited about 5 minutes and whooopp windows 6.5 was back :D

Then i did the process from the beginning, wipe,hspl,radio,magldr and recovery.

when i booted into recovery magldr gets stuck on GO GO GO!

solution: just pushed the three pins from the battery and it was loading again!

(founded on the forum after searching a long time, I post it again so that maybe the next person with this problem finds the solution faster)

Greats.

Try the simple stuff first

I also own an HTC HD2, all I did was hit the yellow reset button on the right of my micro SD slot and boom that baby was back in business.

Before you go trying to flash and boot other software, just try resetting or turning your device and off. Simple, but sometimes it works.

Although, it might be smart to save some money just in case nothing works and go the legit route.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setherio:
Looks like a couple files are missing. I got ubuntu to run quite well really (4GB image file with fluxbox, an office suite, media player, browser, pidgin, and several other apps). I didn't use that guide, I just grabbed the files and read the bash scripts to see what was going on.

Basically the zip you download should have an ubuntu.img file and about 4 other files. Make a folder on your sdcard (I called mine "ubuntu") and place all the files in the zip in that folder. Then use adb shell to connect to your phone and run.

[B]# sh ubuntu.sh[/B]

That will copy certain files to the system. Once that is done, you can run:

[B]# bootubuntu[/B]

As far as I know, you have to be using adb shell to run that and not using terminal emulator (though I may be mistaken). Once you run bootubuntu (from adb shell) you don't have to have your phone connected to the computer (until you reboot at least to run it again).
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Hi,

whenever I use navigation or a black box recorder (tried several) in car, phone gets really hot, stops charging and will in fact discharge even when plugged in (tried 2 different chargers - 1A and 2A, no change).

I wonder if this will ever be solved? It can't navigate for more than 2 hours straight (I got 25% off my battery on a 30 minute trip!) which makes it unusable as a navigation. And usually, when you are done driving, you want your phone ready and charged, not on the verge of shutting down.

Anybody else seeing this? I noticed a lot of "overheating" threads, but those were mostly gamers. I don't think I'm asking much when I want to actually use it in car!

So what's your experience? I should note it's quite warm here nowadays.

I got a white version exactly for the reason of not getting that hot in sunlight - byt my black iPhone could keep going unless I was doing something really crazy - it did overheat on me, but usually turning AC on did the trick. With One X it's another story...
[HTC One X] kolargol:
Yes, the same here. It's very disappoint behaviour and I really don't know any solution.

Simply sad, HTC One X is unusable for GPS navigation. Sad, but true.
[HTC One X] treebill:
The battery is limited to 1a so 2a won't charge faster also charging and doing stuff makes the phone hot, you'll know when its to hot while on charge as the notification flashes red and green.

If your rooted mount your system as r/w and go to /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug open max_cpu and change it from 4 to 2 and save, that will make your phone only use two cores till you reboot. That should help with overheating.
[HTC One X] ahmadcentral:
Do any of you think that there will be a fix in the future? Or is this a limitation of the phone.

Like you have said, the battery actually loses charge when plugged into the charger at full brightness with an intensive app open.

It takes about 4-5 hours just to charge the thing with the phone on but screen off, double that if you're actually using the phone.
[HTC One X] treebill:
when you put power into a battery it heats up, when you run apps and are using 4 cores it heats up, battery + cpu = over heat :)

the best way to help it is to disable 2 cores and run it as a dual core.

their might be a fix if people complain to HTC where they limit the phone to 2 or 1 cores while charging.

you could mount a USB powered fan behind the phone, i've done this when bench marking while on charge and it was sitting at 22 C, i was trying to beat my friend's HOX beanch lol cooler = better marks, boosted my score on antutu from 10.4 k to 11.4 k.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Thanks, didn't think of that and I will try it.

I upgraded my charger because it kept saying that input current is not enough to charge, doesn't do that anymore with 2A. It's possible my 1A charger didn't actually provide 1A...

But even then, this is not really a solution. I have never seen a phone (or notebook, netbook, tablet) that was not able to keep running 100% for infinite amount of time when plugged in. If it overheats so badly it doesn't hold the charge then it's a clear defect (by design?).

So unless this is solved I probably will demand it be "repaired" under warranty (so I guess they'll try swapping it at which point I'll get my money back).
[HTC One X] treebill:
I have only had my phone overheat once, was a hot room on charge and was using a saga emulator lol. Most of the time it sits around 48c when playing games on charge.
[HTC One X] kolargol:
Thank you very much, this seems to be (at least temporary) solution for me. I follow your advice just now trying some (promising) stability/stress tests.

But, it would be great to have something like "one-click" setting via home screen shortcut...
[HTC One X] treebill:
If you install es bookmark, works with the es file manager you can create a short cut icon on your home screens to take you right to the hotplug folder, I running my phone on 2 cores most of the time testing battery life on 2 cores.atm.
[HTC One X] kolargol:
Tasker solution

Just FYI: I just defined four different tasks in Tasker (CPU1 to CPU4), each containing only one "Run Shell" action (with root privileges):

CPU1: echo "1" > /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/max_cpus

CPU2: echo "2" > /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/max_cpus

CPU3: echo "3" > /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/max_cpus

CPU4: echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/max_cpus

Then I created home screen Tasker widget for each task and everyhing works just fine with single click.

Thanks treebill for initial idea and MrPhilo for further explanation.

Hello

UK customer here.

I purchased my first handset from the T-Mobile store and after a few days i had the flickering problem.

I took it back for an exchange and on the 4th day noticed the yellow spot.

I just contacted the store and asked it i could come in and get another swap, his answer was no it would need to go for repair.

Where do i stand???

i also have the yellow spot in extreme bottom left corner and visible in white screen only i dont want any hassel so i m managing howevr
[HTC One X] painterceessie:
I have it also in the left bottom.

I don't care.

Cheers.
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
The reason I'm so bothered is that the store said I can return it as many times as I want and they would replace it.
[HTC One X] jmpmjmpm:
Take it back and demand a replacement. Store managers generally aren't too bright. Contact trading standards if you need to. Tell him you will keep coming back until they get it right
[HTC One X] abc27:
If it's within 14 days, they usually replace it for you. A repair is not acceptable for a 4 day old product.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Agreed. I'm pretty sure a replacement can be demanded after such a short time.
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
The manager said no, repair only.
[HTC One X] jmpmjmpm:
Then go above his head and make sure you lodge a written complaint and name him in it. I doubt he will be so quick to do it again when the area manager gets his ear chewed by head office. Then I would go into the store and smile at him maybe with my tongue shoved in my lower lip but then I'm petty and vindictive like that :p

I'm pretty sure that's what fiddlefaddle is talking about. Plug your Kindle in, mount the sdcard, and format it under computer management (Windows)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meturne2:
I guess its safe to assume this will wipe everything in the sdcard. Should I then have to re-install anything, TWRP, FFF, ROM, apps? I just want to make sure it will still work when I'm done. The reason I ask is because I don't know which files are necessary for programs currently running on Kindle. Also some have names that I don't automatically associate with an app.

Thanks!
