hd2 T-Mobile

(I did my reading)

not booting
vibrates 7 times and stays at boot screen. I can flash. but just doesn't boot. tried re-installing hspl. tried task29, spl and stock rom. tried re-installing radio and everything already suggested. no love

same thing happens. vibrates 7 times and stuck

anyone? anything??

thanks

edit: I have the correct radio. it was working fine. only in the morning I found it dead at magldr title menu.

you tried cooling phone in freezer (inside sealed bag,30to45 minutes) & then boot it & see if boots further.
If the cooling helps then you can assume cpu bga failure & needs reflow work or replacement mainboad.

I read somewhere about this suggestion but didn't take it seriously before. but now as a desperate attempt I did it

but with no impact at all.. no change

thanks for the reply though.

just to update

no nand bad blocks. its getting frustrating

I would assume likely hardware with cpu or nand controller, cpu most likely.
All you can do is run through all basics, check battery pins, remove sd card & sim should they be present & attempt a flash via USB of perhaps HSPL 2.08 followed by a custom WM6.5 ROM & then a Radio & attempt boot. could also try the reset button to reboot a couple times as has been known to bring device back to full boot.
If no joy probably would need a damaged screen or dead digi handset for donor mainboard.

I guess it's time I say goodbye to my hd2..

man I loved this phone so much.

You can buy the t-mobile US models (assume u have TMOUS model) with dead digi for around 20 to 30USD for decent looking one with void stickers still present.
Mainboard is easy to swap. You will have other spares such as original battery, LCD, ribbon board to use or sell on which would make repair very minimal & cost effective.
Could look at something newer but they have so many compromises these days ...
