bootload mode
 

can anyone tell me why my hd2 wont go into bootload mode .. ive tried the volume button down and start method ,, doesnt seem to do anything...

Re: bootload mode
 

On the HD2, it's just the downbutton & reset hole. And hold the down button until the bootloader appears.

I laughed at that for like 5 minutes. No joke :p

Huh?????? Not sure about that one considering every time I've done mine it's been volume down(holding it) then pressing the power/end button. Seems to work just fine for me every time.

Turn phone off-press and hold volume down- press power/end button. Watch it go right into bootloader.

Ok, that works as well as my method. Because when you softreset, It's basically turns on the phone. Wasn't aware of that. :) Usually I'm cooking a rom with some new stuff and I can't get to the normal shutdown, and I'm not the type to wait that long... There is also...

Re: bootload mode
 

Gotcha I never know of that method. So I guess both work.

Re: bootload mode
 

both methods do work and ive seen it done... however i have an hd2 that is stuck on the tmo "stick together" screen and doesnt want to go into bootloader mode... i tasked 29 my phone and now it wont boot up or do anything .. am i sol? or is there a fix out there... thanks in advance

Re: bootload mode
 

have you tried flashing a shipped rom by pc? Not sure if it would work but that seems to be a solution very often when people have trouble flashing roms.

Guys my HD2 phone is totaly dead. I have istalled the worng rom ( dont ask me why) :-) and the phone just went blank. Nothing is working...even the battery is not charging. I tried to go to the bootloader mode but nothing. Is there any way to be fixed or I shpuld throw it in the trash?
Thanks

Re: bootload mode
 

can you get into bootloader?
Hold down volume down while pressing the reset button next to the battery.

Are your battery contacts properly aligned?

Which Rom did you try to flash?

Re: bootload mode
 

Yes I tried all possible button combinations I read about and nothing. When I plug the phone to the USB on my PC I get a new hardware message and that some CDMA driver is missing . Also I have noticed that when I try to charge the battery the the phone gets warm on the bottom but no lights on. I have tried to install ROM Version: 1.66.707.1. I got it from the original HTC website.
