Succesfully Unbricked TMOUS 1024 HD2

Now perhaps I was lucky, and I hope not to sound too much like a noob or a dummy for that matter. I have had a slew of issues running android builds, phone rebooting and going back to windows, touch screen getting lagged up. I read around but couldnt figure out what the hell the problem was. So i decided to try one of these cooked winmo builds that were 1024 tmous compatible. I went with the nrg gtx white rom or at least tried to. I flashed hardspl3 successfully, and was able to access the bootscreen. I then tried using the executable to flash the winmo build which was supposed to take 10 minutes, somewhere around a minute and a half it said it had completed. The phone rebooted and was stuck on the "stick together screen" I was able to get back to the bootloader and tried continuing to task29, after that the phone rebooted and was again stuck at the stick together, I being a genius pulled the battery out. At this point the phone was ****ED, no responsiveness to any key strokes VOL DWN + PWR did nothing, all resets nothing. I read around for a while and for a while and was horribly terrified as this is my primary and only phone much less am I just rich to go out and buy a new one. I followed the steps given above, much to my surprise it loaded the bootloader with no sim card, and no memory card in the phone. So i just nrg rom

Ur phone is dead! Cause you flashed the wrong radio.

Only way to fix this is warrenty or JTAG

some unbricking progress and help needed for complete unbricking

I managed to brick my T-mobile HD2 by using 2.05 radio.

Phone shows no sign of life, no led even when charging and also does not enter bootloader (tri color screen.) Basically phone appears completely dead (similar to OP's phone). I had HSPL 2.08 installed previous to the brick.

After researching a bit, I found following things:

1) Radio HSPL incompatibility causes this.

1) phone is stuck in OEMSBL download mode. basically it wants another SPL (bootloader) file to be fed to it.

(edit: qualcomm download mode: Q/QCP-XXX(Download) )

2) From here to my knowledge there are 2 ways to get out of brick.

a) Somebody needs to write a variant of FrankenKaiser tool by jocky2001. This tool can feed a spl file to phones in oemsbl dload mode.

b) QPST tool can also achieve something similar. But somebody needs extract relevant files from firmware and provide steps to load this in QPST.

c) only test/mgr spl will work as radio loaded is not compatible with other spls.

3) another scenario out of brick (and maybe preferred) is if QPST allows loading of only radio firmware.

4) I know setboot 1 can be required somewhere. but for that phone has to enter diag mode from dload mode. also don't know whether setboot is completely safe if radio/spl are not compatible.

Does anyone know how to feed these files to QPST and exact parameters which need to be set????

my hope is I will get in contact with other members having dead HD2 in similar stage and share further progress.

Please don't suggest to return the device to HTC/T-mobile. (I brought it on ebay and this option is not there.) I cannot also get access to JTAG tool cheaply.

But from what I understand, this problem can be recovered if enough people get their heads together.

Please let me know any other relevant tools, information etc if possible.

I really like your thought process and the examination you have done of the problem. However, my comment is this, if your phone is from the US and you send it to HTC and its within warranty period they may fix no questions asked. I picked one up from craigslist I thought I could fix but it failed in the radio section when I was (foolishly) trying to downgrade so I could hspl. It would only vibrate and not stop until the power was removed. I sent it to HTC thinking I would at most have to spend $170 on an out of warranty repair. They got it, fixed it and shipped it back the same day. No questions asked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sbmtl:
thanks whycali for your suggestion.

I brought it on eBay with unknown warranty status and i am not in US. my understanding is that it take long time to get support for HTC mobiles in my country and in particular mobiles from another region may not be supported.

I will still of course try to get support from HTC and find costs involved, but just not too hopeful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
Well HTC is covering this cause it's there own fault.

How should anybody know there is a diffrence between a LEO and LEO1.5 (TMOUS 1024mb).... Also the RUU of LEO/LEO 1.5 should have a check to see if it is the correct phone.

By not doing these 2, anyone can mistake it... so that's why they SHOULD/COVERING this issue by warrenty.

My HTC HD2 wont turn on after a Radio Flash (Radio_2_07_51_22_2). My computer can't recognize the device, (It is turn off), and my computer says "The driver Cualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM is not installed". Please somebody can help me?....:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] albertorodast2007:
thats why reading instructions before doing anything is so important... .51 radios will brick a T-mo US HD2 inmediatly... if ur under warranty (and resident of the us) send it back to T Mob, or look the link under (its kinda expensive and complicated.... not to mention if ur out of the US)

I can unbrick dead HD2 due to wrong radio flash or firmware flash. send me a PM if interested.

Latest QPST is supporting the HD2's QSD8250:

h t t p://conflipper.com/Software/QPST_2_7_Build355.rar

It should be possible to flash a new SPL using the "Software Download" Tool. The tool needs ".mbn" files which can (theoretically) be extracted out of any ROM.

Maybe someone can use QPST to dump the .mbn files and upload them here?

t-mobile hd2 with only showing stick together with no red letter showing up.

those who have this problem your phone have bad hardware. not the main parts through if you can find the bad caps, resister or trans then you might be able to fix it by replacing it. thats only if your problem is that you can flash everything even the hspl. only radio fails.

if you really want to boot it up "sometimes" if you are lucky.

1. reflash it with stock rom with sd card (make sure only the radio don't go through)

2. flash the HSPL

3. use sd card to flash the radio.

4. if the radio goes through then you have a chance to reboot it.

5. keep trying to boot by pulling battery in and out if you see the red letter with the radio versions then wait for it to go in. most of the time leaving the phone alone for a while and try again will work too.

I think this have to do with the temperature of the component so warp it in any plastic and put it in a freezer for like 5 min and see if you can boot after that. lol

hope this helps some people and if people with more hardware knowledge than me can solve this problem for those who don't have warranty.

and my best advice is to see if you have warranty and do a warranty exchange with t-mobile. if you buy the phone new or activates with t-mobile and use it on their network you will have a 1 year warranty.

call 611 on your phone to t-mobile anyway, it does not hurt to check.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mogkupopppo:
if your flashing of radio fails try leaving it alone without battery and try again later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] blutz:
UNFUC*ING believable... I had this "RADIO FAIL" issue on my HD2 making it a brick for the last two months now, tried everything but today i froze it as a last resort then flashed a stock rom from the SDCARD which passed ok, then immediately flashed HSPL and then flash MAGLDR.. its all working now 10x :)

the link for the rom is non responsive can someone tell me where to get it? thank you.

Hello,

i had the idea of programming a app to "Pinch to Rotate" the Screen...

i doesn't like the automatic rotate function... often you have to wait for it or the screen rotates but shouldn't....

Maybe its possible, no, i'm sure that it should be possible to program something like the Pinch to Zoome apps but just to zoom the screen should rotate!

I should work like the picture rotate feature on Iphone...

The main problem i have is the lack of knowledge to interpret the "multitouch" commands in c# to you it....

maybe there is programer out there that catches on my idea and programm a little tool that just does this for us :)

Else i'm also open if someone has infos about it to just post it here and i will give a try todo it on my own!

thx

Hi, it is not pinch to rotate, but "multitouch gesture to rotate": LMT

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629263

See the first post for supported gestures. You can assign the internal rotate command to any gesture. When testing the rotation please use the latest version, because v0.7 had a bug in rotation code:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6124010&postcount=349

edit: If you want to code a mt app in c#, you can use scilor's mt dll:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595982&highlight=multitouch+demo

But you'll only get the touches when your app is the foreground app. What you want to archive is a background app or a service...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
ok, thx for pointing me to this...

but i don't really know what i should do with this....

the gestures didn't work correctly...

closing lmt didn't work... learning new gestures?! no idea how to do this to use for rotating?!

double line up, don't closing opera?!

i will also post this in the thread maybe it a problem of my understanding of using this tool...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
there was a program for Pinch to Zoom ....

found it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=585284

this program was also running in background..

so that should work?! or i'm wrong?!

the Pinch to Zoom gesture should be something oder than a rotate gesture or?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] noname81:
:-) This app does not process the mt touches itself. It only activates the builtin zoom function for the specified app via registry (add the app to the whitelist for htc zooming).

oh... ok.. thx!

i didn't was aware of this...

Why on earth would you want a BT client on your mobile? Youll kill your bandwidth allowance and clog up your phones SD space... not to mention running an app like that is draining on the battery and system memory.

I had some luck using AndroidTorrent with my old G1:

But as people say, it's a real drain, so now I use Transdroid to remote control a Deluge daemon running on my home PC.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Wekkel:
I got aBTC but it does not download very quickly.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kbetcher:
It's actually quite simple as to why I would like a good BT client as I only have a 3G connection at home. So when I have the ability to connect to WiFi, then I can download what I need and then move it to my laptop at home.

I have tried aBTC, and I agree that it doesn't d/l very well. Hoping something better will be out soon.

Today I noticed the weeknumbers displayed by the calender of the Desire is not correct...

This week is week number 16. Now take a look in the weekview in the calender. At the top left side of the calender it says it's week 17 :S

I doubt it can be solved.... But ideas are welcome.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
That's odd. Mine shows w16.
[Desire General] gens6200:
Mine is showing the correct week number - 16. My build number is "1.15.405.4 CL155070 release keys".
[Desire General] Bart1981:
The difference is when you have the week started?

If you set the first day of the week on sunday it displays the right week number, if you want monday as the first day of the week (like most of us here in the Netherlands do) it suddenly says it's week 17 :-S
[Desire General] peterbonge:
I'm from Germany, the first week day on my device is Monday and the week number is correct...
[Desire General] gens6200:
You're right - If I change it to week view starting monday (which is the danish standard as well) I get the same error - week 17. We should let HTC know about this.

Completely off topic I know, but is your up time and awake time very different or almost the same (in settings>about phone>battery)? Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] david_inuk:
Thnx so much for pointing me in the direction of week numbers (I had looked but couldnt find it!) and thanks now for the "fix"!
[Desire General] Bart1981:
I've notified HTC of it.

But still it's strange that others, who have put the first day of the week on monday see the right week number (week number 16 for this week).

Question for people where it looks right, where are you from? In the Settings -> Language and Keyboard, select locale, what have you put in there? Here English (Netherlands).

edit:

When put on Netherlands (Netherlands) the week number is correct :S But I don't want my phone in Dutch, I want it in English...
[Desire General] gens6200:
Yep that is the case. I changed mine to Danish (Denmark) from English (Denmark) and it now displays week numbers correctly - So it seems to be by design.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
it seems that it is because if it is set to monday it seas the 2nd and 3rd of january as week 1. however if it is set to sunday it sees the second and third of january s week 52, 2009. hense an extra week

[Desire General] Bart1981:
And still I think they had to solve it in another way then this one.

I've set mine to Netherlands (Netherlands) so the week number is now correct. But I prefer my Desire in English because sometimes the translation to Dutch is way to strange!

ive tried everything to fix this error. ive only seen 3 other post about this error, but nothing in them is helping.

i rooted my fender mytouch, got to the point where the magic rom is on and no touch screen, reboot and flash the radio and HBOOT of the stock fender rom, but Amon Ra's recovery.img always gives me this error. is there any other recovery.img i could try maybe?....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
which version recovery u using?? g or h?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
i am using 1.6.2G
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
You have the right one but I have never seen this error before. It wont let you flash any roms? Considering if you didnt have a touch screen you didnt flasha rom for our phones. We only have 3 real roms lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
here is what it looks like on command prompt.

i could only find this error on G1 forums and even then i think there was only 2 occurrences on other sites. i just dont understand why only the recovery file would be the one that doesnt work....

the HBOOT and radio i flashed went on the phone perfectly, but the recovery, even the older unperfected ones wont flash . they all give this error....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gerr1985:
The only error I get is when I try to perform a Nandroid backup + ext or a Bart backup. Normal Nandroid works fine. I dont think we have A2sd working but I would love to see that option come back and not have to push via ADB
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
at the moment, im on the Magic's home screen with no touch screen drivers so i know my phone isnt bricked or anything. all i really need now is a recovery.img that will write to the device.

a little more detail about it: when i was flashing the files to the phone in fast boot. i did see that the green status bar loaded when tranfering the recover.img to the phone and it did show the red status bar like it was trying to install, but the bar never filled and after about a minute, it disappeared and the image update error showed on the command line.

im pretty much just trying to give every detail i can and keep trying different .img's to see if something fixes this weird problem.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
So is this before or after reflashing the stock SPL/radio? It looks like your trying to flash the recovery after putting the locked spl back on.

If not, I suggest trying it from the beginning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
this is when im trying to put the fender stock SPL/Radio in fastboot after getting the htc magic rom with no touchscreen drivers on it. i am following the steps for flashing using the goldcard method and ADB from the Unlockr's 1.2/fender rooting tutorial, and i got the radio.img and HBOOT.nb0 flashed on there successfully, but only this recovery.img isnt flashing.

i swear. this is the like the last hurdle before getting the whole thing done, and its the only thing that didnt work perfectly. everything else was going great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
Nandroid+Ext will fail unless there's something there to backup on an ext partition. A2SD works fine on the cm port at least, in fact, it automatically works, which I discovered after deleting my ext2 partition and discovering most of my apps were now broken links.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Problem is if you flash the hboot first you are blocking anything going through fastboot. Try booting the recovery rather then flashing. . Fastboot boot recovery. Img. . If it doesn't load or gives same error start from scratch. Do recovery first. Reason touch didn't work us because we only have 3 real ROMs to use noted by fender/1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
ignore this. sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
oh okay. i will try this when i get home. i am at work at the moment and will be for the next 6 hours.....

just asking, but does it matter the order of flashing? like if i did radio, then recovery, and hboot last? or i guess it would be best to try loading the radio and hboot, then booting recovery...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
not sure... but watever u do make sure u flash RADIO before HBOOT/SPL...if not youll end up with a brick
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
this is important to know. thank you for that info. i will flash radio, hboot, then try booting recovery. i will report back on the results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
Try flashing an older version of Amon Ra. I think when I rooted I used v1.5.2 and then upgraded to 1.6.2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
i bricked it. for the record, i tried that version of amon ra but it didnt work either. i ended up bricking it by trying to load the recovery.img before the hboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
did u even get a chance to flash hboot?...if you did and can still get into hboot.. grab the stock mt3g 1.2 sappimg(search for it here on xda) and flash it via hboot..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaemonAshra:
no i didnt. hboot gave me this error message and i couldnt get it to flash. i dont even know if its fully bricked forever or not. i just dont have the knowledge to fix it.

when i plug it in to the charger. after a little while, i get the orange light that its charging, so its probably not completely dead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
if it doesn't turn on its gone...

Honestl, Id leave the new one alone, much less if you are able to get the fender. If you get one and brick it, chances are you wont ever see another. Plus we will be getting the 2.1 update for it sometime this year.

HEs right. I even tried to recreate your error and couldnt. You flashed a radio/spl that was for the regular mytouch.

This new version has defanately brought out and weeded out the newbies for sure.

This hardware version has caused more bricks then ive seen since I started here because people dont seem to understand the HUGE hardware difference. Plus this is the first time weve had the 32a magic in the US.
