since it cant boot why dont you take it back to HTC? They will first have to repair it since they dont know it has been flashed with an unofficial firmware....They might even give you a new device!
[HD2 General] sb09:
Yeah, that's what I'm going to have to do as a last resort, but my fear is that with their tech/tools, they'll figure a way to power it up or get it into bootloader and discover it has a custom rom, and return it to me unfixed. This is almost certainly a hardware fault, as I believe it has always been warmer (sometimes very hot) at the back than it should be, but trying to prove it would be difficult. It would be great if I did return it and they couldn't boot it, but I only want to return it this way as a last resort. Here's hoping someone out there might have another solution.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Can you power the phone up with the charger and usb lead plugged into it?

Have you tried booting wth the SD card out?

If you can at least boot it up then you could try MTTY to see if that helps.

Post your outcomes back up and lets see what else we can do to help.

WB
[HD2 General] sb09:
Thanks for input WB - I note you've helped many others out on other threads with related problems.

Can't power up the phone by any method (AC charger or USB), and because it's got no power, I can't boot it at all. Tried it without SD card earlier, and it didn't make any difference. Even with someone else's battery in earlier, it wouldn't boot up or charge even, so I'm at a complete loss. :( Always thought I'd need to try MTTY sometime soon - just didn't know my device might die on me before then (and its only 5 weeks old). Any other thoughts?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Hmmm, tough one this.

I know that some of the newer roms are particular about which radio you have installed else you get a problem not dissimilar to yours, ie the device won't get past the boot screen. Yours being completely dead is a new one on me.

Do you remember what radio and what rom were on the device just before this happened?

WB
[HD2 General] sb09:
Yeah, was on 2.08.50.05 until 2 days ago, flashed 2.08.50.08 to give it a try but noticed it was draining battery fast and getting v hot at the back, so reverted yesterday to .05 (but maybe too late, maybe damage was already done, because total discharge happened shortly after that yesterday).
[HD2 General] sb09:
Hey guys (WB and any others with any possible solutions), I need to hit the pillow (11.45 pm my time now and I need to be up 5.45 am), but please keep posting any ideas that you want that you might have, and I'll give them at go first thing at 5.46 am. Thanks very much in anticipation!
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
I think Kholk of the Eugenia project has done a lot of work with radio roms. PM him (nicely) and see if he can help.

WB
[HD2 General] sb09:
Thanks for suggestion WB. I'll pm Kholk in a moment - whilst it could indeed be the radio rom that caused the overheating and/or discharge, it seems that whatever caused it was catastrophic because I still can't get any charge into it, and hence I can't boot it up!

I hope sincerely other HD2 owners do not suffer this same problem at any time - it's proving a nightmare to fix. :eek:

My advice to all would be ignore those who promote the idea of allowing your battery to fully discharge - especially if it follows an over-heating handset - you may never recover from it (like me at the moment)!

If anyone's got any other suggestions for getting my handset powered/booted up - I'd be delighted to hear them. Really don't want to return to HTC with a custom rom on it!
[HD2 General] kholk:
The Radio ROM contains software parts that are critical to your device (at least for HTC devices) as it contains the OEMSBL (the radio bootloader) that boots ... ALL!

So, if you flash a wrong Radio ROM (as for example flashing a Diamond radio on Leo, or every radio that is not compatible with Leo: remember that for Diamond/Blackstone/X1/Raphael the radios were compatible) you'll get a totally bricked and unrecoverable (if not using JTAG!) device.

BUT.

You've flashed a Radio ROM and your device booted successfully, so, no errors during the flash process.

Assured that this Radio ROM is compatible with every HTC HD2 (TMOUS and EU), this Radio can't have produced an hardware fault on your Leo: it's almost certain that it is a coincidence that your Leo died with this Radio!

Anyway:

1. Be sure that your battery contacts are sane: check that they coincides with battery contacts: if you swap fast a battery you can do a wrong gesture with your hands and fold youre device's battery contacts.

2. Check the battery LED near the speaker: does it power on? (orange/green)

If the battery contacts are sane and the battery LED doesn't power on, maybe your battery is fault OR it is really completely discharged: on my old NEC e606 if the battery was completely discharged (0A, 0V) I had to charge it "manually".

However, if these two steps aren't helping, try this:

1. Take an AC adapter of maximum 5 Volts, or an USB cable

2. Cut off the end of the AC adapter (or the other end of an USB cable) and connect positive on battery positive and negative(GND) on battery negative.

3. Make sure that the cables are correctly connected and that your power source (AC Adapter / USB Cable) is connected and/or powered on.

4. Mantain this position for 5 minutes: your battery will take some power (yes, it is a really raw charging process)

5. Don't wait more than 5 minutes: it is a raw charging process and it will never stop! (well, not never, but if you wait for too much time, you'll **** your battery!)

6. Battery slightly charged: disconnect it from your power source, take it into your HTC HD2 and connect its battery charger.

If it works, well, you're saved, but I think that there is a fault with your HD2 because for a complete discharge of your battery you have to wait for weeks....or months! Or even years!

If that doesn't work, try with another spare battery that is known to work.

If your HTC HD2 doesn't work even with another battery, RMA it, HTC won't see that you've flashed an HardSPL, a new Radio and a custom ROM because they'll simply replace your mainboard.

Let me know how it goes!

Hope that this helped.

If you are anything like me you wouldn't have slept well last night :mad:

best of luck mate
[HD2 General] sb09:
Hey kholk, huge respect for taking the time to consider this serious problem of mine! Thank you for the different options - I'll work my way through them and see if any can bring my HD2 back to life.

I can confirm that I've successfully flashed roms and radios (via SD) and never had any problems, and I think you're right - it wasn't the switching between 2.08.50.05 to .08 and back to .05 - it was probably just a coincidence that the unit got seriously hot and discharged at the same time as I used .08 (hence the reason I had just re-flashed .05 when it happened).

Battery contacts are good - checked them carefully yesterday.

I'm convinced the battery is as dead/discharged as it could be; since yesterday morning I've not even had a glimpse of an orange LED when connected to AC or USB charger (though the unit continues to get warm at the back, but doesn't get hot any more). I'll try your ideas for getting some life into it, and I've got a replacement battery on order, but as I found out with a friend's spare battery, it still won't boot up or allow itself to be charged.

I think therefore that it will ultimately need to go back, but I'm grateful for your assurance that HTC are unlikely to know that I've got HSPL/Custom Rom and Radio on there! Many thanks again for now (its so re-assuring to know that if you come across occasional difficulties, there's some good guys on these forums who will try to help bail you out)!
[HD2 General] sb09:
That's 2 bad nights sleep now, as this happened day before yesterday :(. Thanks - fingers crossed eh, both for getting mine fixed, and for hoping this is not going to become a common problem for other HD2 owners!
[HD2 General] kholk:
Well, if the device won't power up even with a known good battery, then HTC isn't able to power it on magically. Your hardware got a fault and the only fix for this is replacing the faulty part.

And no, HTC won't desolder and resolder a chip on your mainboard: they'll replace it completely!

I'm sorry for your dead HTC HD2 and I know how you're feeling... I've experienced the same.

The Eugenia Project Developer

-kholk
[HD2 General] sb09:
Thanks again kholk. Reading what you've written confirms for me that there's not likely to be an easy fix for this and so I should give up on that idea now and just get it returned sooner rather than later for a warranty repair. If anything develops from this I'll be sure to post an update for the benefit of anyone else who might experience the same difficulty. Much appreciated again for now!
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I had very similar issue on my X1 when I left it plugged into my car by accident, it totally drained the battery and wouldn't do anything other than blip a red light.

I swapped to my spare battery and the phone booted once, said low battery (was fully charged the day before) then did the same red light.

After much fiddling, it turned out that I had to leave it on charge for around 12 hours for the battery to kick back into life and boot the phone. Then it took a further few hours to charge it again!
[HD2 General] webpatrick:
Older devices could only be chared with a HTC stock charger (when having a dead battery), cause they delivered a little more power then custom AC chargers (like the one for your BT headset).

Yesterday i install

[3.06 WWE][G9]HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O5 by Cotulla

HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O5

I'm quite impressed, just have some questions.. feel free to help me:

1) about camera support. no camera means no default software for camera or camera are totaly disabled in rom... I don't care for few MB's if i can get camera working.. Where is problem and why is needed to remove camera from this release. Can i use other camera's software (like coolcamera) to use camera feature, or not?

2) midi support. I have big collection of midi files at my storage-card but i can't play with anymore. it's problem in wm player, or cotulla remover midi support too to save some space? can i use any software to play MIDI files even with that problem? if answer is 'yes' write names of these applications.

3) battery icon. can i have (and how) battery icon in 'start/clock/speaker bar'? does wm65 have system battery icon, or i must use other software (what software?).. i speak about battery status icon where i can see current power status of my baterry.. give me solution that work, i tried magicbutton and not work with cotulla custom OS very well...

4) install/uninstall. ok, i learn how to install cotulla custom OS (very easy).. about uninstall.. do i must always downgrade to original firmware and then upgrade to other (future?) cotulla's releases, or i can upgrade firmware directly from that one to new one?

that's all, for now....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xw0lf:
and?

i can't believe that anyone of 60 viewers have nothing to say??

p.s.

some bonus questions:

a) when i open contacts or 'call history' and choose contact which i want to call, and tap on "call" phone looks like turn off (or just backlight is turn of)

it's bug or feature? (how to deal with that if this is 'feature')

b) about battery status... give me any good suggestion what application to use, to get some usefull info about system parameters + battery status @ my phone desktop/today screen.. i mean application that use their own interface for that job, not depend of wm system routines (if these routines are disabled in cotulla custom OS)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] orbN:
for battery status:

in today screen : Ariel Battery

for nice lock and battery in lock screen: S2U2

for phone problem:

Read in the Software Upgrading Section the Thread for the Rom u are using, both problems were encounterd there.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xw0lf:
I have another small problem:

last day i play too much with battery status icon... not doing anything dangerous for system, just install some *.cab founded here for battery icons... but no one works for my magician+cotulla customOS... but, after i uninstall these nonworking (for me) battery status icons (or whatever).. now i have some more items in "remove programs" app

most (if not all) wm65 default themes from 'today" app are now listed in 'uninstall programs' + 'cotulla inovationGS' too.. some apps is listen too but these apps is ok, because i install'em.

i guess that themes+cotulla inovationGS must be somehow hiden to not listed here, because these apps is part of the system (custom OS)... i guess that my previous actions with battery icon install/uninstall rewrite some flags for hide apps from uninstall..

besides that small flaw, all other working ok ...

any ideas? what to do?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Cotulla:
1)current generation have not camera support.

new roms will support camera.

2)ROM doesn't include MIDI support.

but you can find separate MIDI plugin and MIDI will work.

3)There should be several keys in registry..

in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell I think.

4)At this moment, you can install new CotullaROM to another.

no such programs exist. all programs get power state from system.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xw0lf:
2)ROM doesn't include MIDI support.

but you can find separate MIDI plugin and MIDI will work.

any suggestion?

give me a tip, please :)

i not want to play MIDI files only in one or two applications (players... etc)

i want system MIDI support (use MIDI files for ringtones/sms notification/alarm... playing MIDI from WMP/TCMP)

ofcourse, if this is posible
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fenderblak:
first download-

1-total commander(its a registry editor)

2-run it and go to \\plugins

3-then go to the 3rd folder,HKCU....OR SOME THING ELSE...I DONT KNOW...

4-then go to software -> cotulla code ->miscdrv -> screen off incall

->then change value to= "0";;

soft reset...

Hi.

Does anyone has been had this problem by replacing a digitizer to a G1:

I bought a newone digitizer for my HTC G1, after replace it and assamble it, the digitizer did workd at all. I retryed a lot of times and nothing. I test digitizer on another device and it worked fine. flex and cables were tested and all goods.

Any idea? any help?

Thanks.
[G1 General] Crowleycator:
Somebody having the same issue?
[G1 General] sensimila:
I have made that mistate before but if you know how to this this already just ignore what I say,

Check to make sure you connected the ribbons to the connectors correctly. There is a tiny little lever that is the lengh of the connector located behind the slot at which the ribbon inserts to.it should lift up and down, use your nails or a little toothpick. You must lift this lever to release the pressure on the ribbon cable in order to detach it. When re-attaching it, ensure that the lever is in the up position, then lock the little lever down after you insert the cable. Hope that helps. And remember be careful with the ribbons because if it rips just a little bit it wil cut the circuit.
[G1 General] Crowleycator:
Solved!!!

I just found this fail in motherboard.

It was due to a rised pin at the cable connector. After a deep clean and apply my hotgun, Done!!!

[HD2 General] jukan:
I need 2 devices because one I will keep to myself and one give to a member of my family. I think I am going to buy it because the price is cheap and buyer protection guarantees my purchase. Nothing sneaky here people, move on.
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
BNIB to me means unused or unopened . . . That HD2 aint unused and aint unopened I reckon.

Hd2's do not come with screen protectors . . .Cant see many people putting a screen protector on a phone they aint used or are not going to use . . Which makes this phone used.

The last item sold was a compaq pouch thats described as fitting HD2 better than the OEM pouch . . . That statement screams this phone has been used.

Ebay buyer protection depending on who you ask counts for nothing.

Good luck on your purchase (or sale if it is your ad) but I would avoid an ad that aint truthfull which I think is the case and a seller with only 1 sale only adds to my suspicion.
[HD2 General] jukan:
It says it is "NEVER TURNED ON" and "SCREEN NEVER TOUCHED BY ANYTHING", so I think it is safe to say it is unused and brand new, don't you think ?

He made me a service by applying a screen protector ( one of the good ones to - the expensive Martin Fields protector ), as I would have applied one myself or even better take it to a shop to have it fitted in a clean-room environment. This seller just saves me all that cost :D.

To be honest, the case for my personal HD2 is a little tight, so maybe he is not lying. I am buying this second HD2 as a gift for my relative.

He is selling HD2 devices and cases, what is suspicious about that ??? I will obviously notice if the device has been used, I'm not stupid.

Buyer protection has returned me my cash for a FM transmitter from a Chinese guy in just 2 days. It takes the cash right out of the seller's PayPal account = secure.

Maybe the seller is just starting out, give him a chance. For 400 quid I think it is a great deal.
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
Put your money where your mouth is and buy it then?
[HD2 General] jukan:
That is what I am going to do, I think. The price is good so, why not I say ?

People here are just trying to give you some good advice and to let you know that some items on ebay are not always what they seem, but you obviously have your mind made up, so just buy it and stop going on about it.
[HD2 General] jukan:
OK, thanks for the explanation given. I appreciate and respect your opinion, but IMHO I think I should take some insignificant risk and buy this second device. Sorry for taking up valuable space here on XDA.
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
After a little searching it seems that you have posted twice elsewhere about buying something from cheap_deals_everyday. ( I believe may be you)

First was the pouch "he/she" sold before listing the HD2 which you said you were gonna buy. - http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=39295

Now you come along and post a similar message here about a HD2 for sale by the same seller also here - http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2139

You still have not bought it or placed a bid which makes me think even more your pushing your own ad.

To prove me wrong if you wish -

1/ Let us know your ebay username. I guess you might say "tudorgates"

2/ Now go bid like you said you were - £1.50 will do "tudorgates" should be the bidder

If I am wrong i will apologise...:cool:

PS whats with being all defensive in post #10 and I thought you bought the pouch you refer to in that post so you should know if its snug or not!!
[HD2 General] bukwit:
Busted lol!!!
[HD2 General] jukan:
I will post same reply from other forum :

I need a second device to give as a gift to somebody in my family.

I bought the case from him because my OEM case was too tight. The case was exactly as described. Now, I found a HD2 device from the same trusty seller, so why not buy it ?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Can a forum moderator please lock this thread (as it is of no benefit) and possibly warn the OP as its blatently jukan's attempt to get people to bid on an HD2 he is trying to sell via ebay and I believe the T&C state no advertising, correct me if I am wrong....

Edit: theres even a tag on the main page in the rating column of (buy, hd2, htc, leo, unlocked)

that is one ****ing bad ass bowling game..... I hope its real...I want it
[Nexus One General] M9x3mos:
Just a few questions about the phone before I make the jump. Say I unlock it and put on desire rom and want to go back to sell or want stock can i just flash the original image without computer or do I have to use fast boot? And if I put back like that with stock recovery will I get ota again.

Think I should be able just to flash original shipping rom with bootloader or not?

Is this correct?

Sorry for such a newbie question but this seems different from mytouch and I do not know why instructions for going back to stock are so long. And yes I know I cant re lock bootloader. don't care about that all. Just want to know if I can get ota again.

Basically just want to know if I can flash original from the phone and if i do will I get ota again.
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
There is no way to recieve OTA updates anymore since you have flashed a custom recovery
[Nexus One General] Deleted member 1277061:
yes. put back recovery.img boot.img system.img radio.img by fastboot then you'll be fine.

i've got OTA right away after i flashed the original ERD firmware.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rusreid:
I have it and used it a lot on the Kaiser. It's really pretty awesome. Very dependable and very easily customized. There's quite a bit of customizations available for it. I have installed it once on the Tilt 2, but after my last flash of a Cell ROM, I haven't installed it. Sense 2.1 and 2.5 are pretty smooth and do most of the things I need. MS 3.5 is worth the money if you're looking for a different front end interface. Very well supported.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Noticed:
I'm using MS 3.5.3 on my TP2 and I'm very happy with it.

I think, that there's no better UI for WM than MS. And its very highly personalizeable. In my opinion a must have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever022:
best software as a UI.... first it uses consumes much less batery juice than manila / sense .... it uses about same about of ram as those... but its much better at costumizing and finding what you are looking for....
