Hello
XDA working fine unti yesterday where the XDA said no signal/service. tried soft and hard resets. tried other sim cards. tried my sim card in another phone which worked fine.

It failed and rebooted and now....
G
R
4.00.005
on startup. takes a good 15 minutes to boot and it is very sluggish. obv no phone etc.
can sum1 help me out here?
i tried to redo the rom i made from the kitchen that worked. i attached the xda via usb and it keeps telling me to put the power coord in. it is in and theres nuthin wrong with the power :\
the "i am charging" lite on top of my xda is not on however :\
PLEASE HELP :*(
Thankyou !

this typically sounds like you have a corrupted RSU upgrade files in the boot sector. you have to use SD card to update the ROM part then if you can access the xda again locate the file named RSupgrade64.cab in the startup directory under \windows and delete it. then try the RSU upgrade again.
good luck.
Thankyou for that.
Ill have to go pick up a SD card and reader/writer then.
What of my signal suddenly disappearing? I cant say I did anything to it, changed, played with or installed anything in a very long time. :\ just domestic use stuff.
Thanks again

Hiya All,
I tried to upgrade my xda 2 with the new ROM upgrade (Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe) and now its dead. I connect my XDA2 to my PC, double clicked on the EXE and followed the prompts. I then had to go out and came back to an error on the screen which I can not remember what it is. Since then the XDA2 will not boot, only coming up with the boot screen saying "serial V1.06" and when placed in the cradle "USB V1.06"
I have followed the recovery posted from here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62
I got an image from a spare XDA2 and placed on a SD card but can not get it to load in to the dead XDA, it comes up with the following msg "sections=1 not allow update"
I have tried to re do the upgrade but can not talk to the XDA, have I missed a step or is there a configuration in the XDA that has changed some how....
I have also search the posts here and found problems close to mine and have tried them too, I do not know what the ROM version was before I tried to Upgrade but I do know it was older..I did check.
from what I have readed if I can get the SD card upgrade to work then I can re do the upgrade.
Any help PLZ
Thanks
Sorry I forgor to say that I have done 1 XDA already and all went well..

My laptop hibernates during XDA upgrade. My XDA2 gone into bootloader mode and stops there.
I've tried link from pdamobiz - with, at least, "not allow update" screen.
any idea's ???
Hi all,
For some reason my car charger has fried the USB port on my M3100 so I can no longer charge or sync it. Orange are sending a replacement out tomorrow, but I had just upgraded the phone to the new HTC Rom. Obviously I need to get it back to being the Orange one.
As I can't do it via USB I am trying to flash the Orange ROM on using the SD method. However, when the phone resets after PWR+OK+SoftReset all I get is the tricolour screen with the following on it:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olpro
Serial
I've extracted the .nbh file from the Orange .exe and have formatted my SD card as both FAT & FAT32 in Vista but with no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance folks,
Bobby
Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card. Make sure there is NOTHING else on the card.
I've formatted the card twice and put just the renamed HERMIMG.nbh file on it but it still doesn't work. I've never had a problem with the SD slot, or the card, so I don't think it could be that.
Funny, but i remember that it did not work here too... Flash just did not start at all, even if there was HERMIMG.nbh, and it was the only file on the card... Tried both FAT32 and FAT too. Funny. It was in the case of X01HT 1.09 original bootloader, if I remember right...
Did you have any luck getting it to work? Or is it looking like I should have an unfortunate accident with some h2o before they come for it?
try doing the same with SSPL if you can't get it to work from bootloader, or try using another microSD card. Or try resetting a few times... but don't throw h2o on it!
I can't get anything to work via the miniUSB port so nothing that runs on the PC will help. I've just noticed that the tricolour screen comes on, then for a fraction of a second the screen goes grey with 'Loading No Image Found' then back to the tricolour.
The only other SD I can get my hands on is the same make as mine, so I doubt it would make any difference. And I've reset it loads of times while doing this but still nothing. I've tried sticking another nbh file on the card to see if it was just the Orange one it couldn't see, but a radio only one still didn't work.
It had all been going so well...
Hold on, I might have cracked it...
Nope, not yet. It gets as far as showing EXTROM - OK and the progress bar gets about a quarter of the way along then it seems to lock up. The bar hadn't moved for well over 10 mins, so I've soft reset it. Its has the first Orange splash screen now, but the rest is still the HTC ROM. Its a start I suppose.
Hurrah! Rejoice! Its worked, and is back to the slow old crippled Orange ROM. Thanks for your help folks, much appriciated.
Roll on tomorrow night when I get to update my new one all over again!

Good thing you documented what worked for you so that others can benefit too.......
Please help me.
My O2 Atom can not into bootloader and do not work at all, when turned on, only until the starting logo only.
I've tried to Semi-Brick Atom, but still can not.
What should I do to improve it?
Thank you.
Sorry my bad english.
DEAD.. but only for awhile
this happened when I tried to flash this Bajok ROM.
I'm not new to flashing, but that kinda make me 'a little' careless this time.
I transferred the .dio file using active sync explorer while doing other stuff with my laptop.. soon after, I see that the file transfer is done, cause the window is closed. As usual, I do the rec button + reset ritual and flashed away..
I again continued my other works and got mesmerized in it for a moment or two.
Half an hour later I realized that my atom has been showing bootscreen for quite some time..
My first failed flash! Well, I thought, this is it...
Just to make sure, I pulled out the battery, put it back again and reboot.. still the same stuckness... Then, I figured that since this was caused by ROm flashing failure, why dont check the .dio file? So I did. I pulled out the memory card, put it in a card reader and explore it.. I notice that the .dio file is only 18 megs.. whatta..? The original .dio is like 70 megs, so it must had been transferred it incomplete.
So with high hope, I retrasferred the file, this time completely.
I inserted again the battery and repeated the rec button + reset ritual..
Boot loader appeared and flashed away like a charm!
Somebody please Help!
I have an O2 xda Denim it hangs at the starting screen itself and yeah i searched for the minisd flash method... can somebody give me a link or the fles and method needed to do the flash!
PLEASE.
I think I may have bricked my OG HD2 (T8585) while trying to undo everything I had done to it, which was HSPL, MAGLDR and a NAND Android ROM.
It all started when I first tried to flash Kingdom's Sense 3.0 Gingerbread ROM. It told me to create a 340MB partition using HD2 Toolkit which I did. I then flashed the ROM as per the instructions, but it kept getting stuck on the boot logo so I decided to go back all the way to stock WinMo.
I downloaded a stock 1.66 ROM from HTC's website, tried to flash it via USB which failed because I obviously have no ActiveSync in Android. So I loaded the image onto my SD card and tried to flash by holding Vol Down and Power.
That was the first sign of trouble, about 1/10th during upgrade process it gave me some errors and rebooted to a black screen with a silver warning triangle.
Trying to go back into bootloader, I got the message about "upgrade ROM code error."
Since it had reverted back to SPL 1.42 I tried to reflash HSPL2 through USB, which worked fine, got the "We bricked it " message and everything. But then I tried to install MAGLDR and nothing, it fails even though it recognizes the USB connection.
So what can I do? On the one hand my device can accept and load HSPL2 and my computer is recogonizing the USB connection, but other than that nothing, it won't even turn on without being connected to external or USB power.
I also tried installing stock 1.43 ROM and that goes fine, it gives me an okay on everything but it gets stuck in the white HTC bootscreen in a loop.
I know I probably made a huge glaring mistaking to cause this, it's probably because I've bought a Transformer tablet and a Galaxy S2 in the last month so the steps regarding the HD2 were probably a bit of a blur. I guess the stock ROM probably included a radio that I wasn't supposed to flash, causing my device to be bricked.
But is there anyway I can get some type of OS working on this poor HD2 now?
She lives!!!
Okay, I'm not actually sure if the problem is solved but I'm back in WinMo 6.5 for the time being.
Since it had been off for a few hours I tried my luck again, plugged it into the wall and saw that it was stuck in the boot loop again. But I got distracted and left it, and when I came back it was on the orange WinMo setup screen.
Not sure what happened to make it go from not even getting power from the battery to working normally. But I see now my radio version is 2.05 which is massively old, I'm going to try and upgrade that first and see... hopefully it won't go back to being dead the moment I power down.

I had pretty much the same problem as you, but mine is the tmobile us version. I tried flashing back winmo from android via sdcard method but i got an upgrade error. I tried flashing with microSD card sizes 8gb, 16,gb, and then 2gb which was recommended, but still no luck. I managed to connect the hd2 through usb on the tricolor screen and flashed back to hspl2.08 and magldr and cwm were still on. But i would like to still get back to winmo stock as if it came from tmobile.
My question is if i download the latest update from tmobile which is T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), what is the correct spl i should have installed on the hd2 so that htc and tmobile wont know that i messed with the spl? is it 3.03? I was going to connect via USB on the tri color screen again, run the EXE and manually install the SPL? I just need to know which SPL to install after i run the latest winmo update. Please advise on the SPL and the method i'm going to take on reverting back to winmo. Thanks.

So it sounds like you lucked out, huh? So your HD2 works at least? I believe if you succesfully flash an official ROM like from T-Mobile, it will replace everything including the SPL back to stock - this is what I was trying to do by flashing official 1.43, to go back to factory mode.
I seem to be worse off than you though. I posted last night how my HD2 was back up running WinMo, but as suspected the moment I rebooted it was back stuck in the boot loop.
Any ideas? I wish I could get the HD2 working again so I could set it aside and get to playing with my new Galaxy S2.
This is driving me crazy now...
I managed to flash HSPL 2.08, and then MAGLDR 1.3, and then CWM recovery on top.
But this still seems bricked to me, still needs external power to turn on and I can't actually flash a working ROM... flashing a ROM via USB gives connection error and flashing via SD card goes fine but gets stuck in a boot loop.
What can I do at this point short of tossing the phone? I've tried stock 1.48, stock 1.66, a bunch of radios from 2.05 to 2.15... everything.
I am doing some research but the only results I find are T-Mo HD2s being bricked by the wrong radio. I have an original HD2 and I never flashed a radio intended for another HD2 model, so how is my phone so bricked all of a sudden?
All the threads I've found say if you can get into the bootloader then there's some hope but I doubt it because I can't successfully flash anything with it. I don't even know how I managed to get back into WinMo briefly last night... think my HD2 is probably just toast.
Okay, I finally solved my problems for sure - bent charging leads in the battery compartment!
Anyone having boot issues, take out your battery and look at the metal leads and you will probably find them bent out of shape. They are incredibly flexible, so just make them straight again and it will work. I assume it cuts external power briefly right before booting into WinMo, which is why it was rebooting constantly.
So I suppose for me this was a huge case of confusion, I got all confused with bootloaders and MAGLDRs when the problem wasn't even software related.

The problem with my hd2 is the CPU is overheating thus causing it to freeze or lock up, and gets it annoying. After hours of searching on XDA, that's what seems to be the problem. I can't even talk on the phone for more than ten minutes or else locks up. So my idea was to get it back to winmo stock and see if it still locks up. If it does then i will probably try to send it back to HTC and see if they send another one maybe or fix it.
Ive had no luck luck flashing back to winmo from sdcard so i think i should try flashing back to winmo via usb on the tri color screen. Ive read on XDA that if you flash winmo via usb that it doesn't replace your SPL, and you have to run HSPL4 and flash it manually. I'm just not sure which SPL i should flash. I'm assuming 3.03 maybe?
What you could try is using an sdcard that is 2gb or less. Ive read that anything higher than 2gb will cause issues. I'm still a noobie at this rooting biz. Hope that helps.

Which model HD2 do you have?
Find and download the stock ROM from this thread, get 1.66 since it will work with HSPL2 which is the latest HSPL that will work with MAGLDR (for Android and WinPhone7).
You can flash that through SD card and it will go back to total stock, including stock SPL. I assume you know how to pull the .nbh file from the ROM you download, so just rename to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SD card.
Go into the tri-color screen and it should flash fine and give you factory reset. This is where it wasn't working for me, but not because I had flashed the wrong ROM or something but because I had messed up the charging leads in the back while popping the battery in and out to reboot as I was flashing.
Man I downloaded 1.66 last nite and tried to flash back to winmo from android and its toast. Not sure what went wrong. Oh well.
