I have an HTC branded G4 Wizard. It got corrupted during a bad flash and will no longer accept new ROMs. It only boots to the boot loader screen which displays the following info:
Upper right corner says: RUU
IPL 2.17.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
Any time I try to flash a ROM, it gets about 1/2 way through and then the phone disconnects and goes into an endless loop of booting to the Boot Loader screen, and then rebooting. To get it to stop I have to remove the battery for more than an hour to fully drain power.
I've searched the forum and Wiki but can't find any info specific to recovering a G4 and I know I can't use IPL/SPL designed for a G3.
Any help appreciated.
have you read this?

if not it might help you, i've used it a couple of times
Simply download and install the Wizard Love Rom
Thanks for the pointers to these topics.
I just tried installing the Wizard Love ROM. The updater made it to 96% then the Wizard disconnected and starting it's looping boot, reboot cycle. I'm going to leave it sit with the battery removed and try again in a while. Maybe it will get all the way to 100% if I try several times.
At 96% can take more than 10 mins to complete
Be patience
It wasn't that I disconnected the device at 96%. The device dropped it's connection and rebooted itself. That was it has been doing when I tried to flash another ROM. On the positive side, it has never made it this far before rebooting since the problem started. So, I'm thinking positively and viewing this as progress.
have you try a provider based roms ... like aku 2.2?
Actually, I didn't see any htc branded Wizard...What is the htc model for your Wizard?
I think I had the same problem Monday, see the link to my post.
I have a G3 and don't know how to load a ROM on a G4 but when I left my phone off all night with the battery out it stayed on longer without shutting off and going into the endless loop.
I see you have a different IPL than your SPL, I don't know if that is a problem with a G4 but I understand it is with a G3.
Good luck, I know your pain.

I have been going through the forums for a while and still not sure what to do...
8125 G4
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GMS 2.25.11
OS 10.0.0.10
I turned it off last night at 68% bat. I turned it on today and it is stuck on the Win 6.1 Diamond Edition splash screen. I have soft reset it many times. The on/off button doesn't work so I have to remove the bat. to shut it off. I did some reading and some say it could be the batt. needs a jump start. I am not sure about this because when plugged into the computer it takes a charge.. light starts out yellow, and later turns green..( i think that is charged)
I don't want to do a hardrest until I hear that is what I have to do.. I have seen others with problems close to mine and a hardrest failed. I am able to do the softrest holding the camera button to get the bootloader screen and would like to reload the rom ( if I have to) but I used SoftSPL to load the Diamond rom and not sure I can reload it without runing SoftSPL again.
I tried to follow the loading steps for using SoftSPL, but the program it tells me to use WST v4.22 and it doesn't see the Wizard. so... can someone tell me if I can use the bootloader screen to reflash my wizard or do I have to do something else..
Thank you
or any other steps to fix this problem
I also need to add that actsync will not connect.. it doesn't see the device...
OK so I could not wait... I did a hard reset and it is back up and running. All extra software has to be redone, but all is well.
Hi! its my 1st post on this forum, please avoid if its in wrong section.
Well, I have Jasjam & I have tried to Burn WM.6.5 ROM & at 96% I got error.
& after that when I Turn on my Phone, I see the start logo Screen & the phone stuck there, after reading few post here at XDA I have Accessed the boot loader tri-colour screen but don't know what to do with it.. I can see
Herm100
IPL-1.01
Herm100
SPL-1.06
I have read out a lot of posts saying Upgrate SPL , downgrade SPL etc etc
its the 3rd day I am continuously reading posts & every new post is making me messed up with new terms etc..
is there anyone who has the right solution for my Jasjam?
Hi there,
I'm stuck with the same problem as well. What I'd recommend is to wait for at least 30 minutes so that the HTC screen goes away and boots into windows. My TyTN got stuck at 81% in flashing a Schaps rom and the solution I found was to plug it in the charger, start up the phone and wait for a good 30 - 40 minutes. Once it booted into the home screen I reflashed it.
If that doesn't work, try the Mtty.exe tool from HTC. There are quite a bit of posts on how to use it. If it doesn't work then since your already in the tri-colour bootscreen, try reflashing the rom by running setup again. Hardspl if you have to but do not run active sync as it will not recognise the device. Hope this helps!.
PS: Incase your lost in which rom to use, try using a schaps rom. Search the forums for it. Pm me for further instructions since I've recovered my phone through these methods. Try to keep the forums clean!
Hello, my HD2 started entering the re-boot loop probably because of overheating (I live in a warm country and it started showing problems during the summer). After that, I installed the new official rom from the HTC website (finding a SN online :S) after trying to install the new rom I realised I shouldn't have tried that since it wasn't made for my SN. Anw after that the phone is kind of dead, freezes at the HTC boot screen. I have installed HSPL 1.42 on it but I can't load any new rom (I enter the bootloader - that's the only way I can think of since I got lost in a zillion posts) When it starts loading the new roms into the phone I get a 276 error saying it can't finished the procedure. (after such an error on the startup screen I still see the HTC logo but this time with black and white stripes covering the screen). I can't seem to find something similar in the other posts, I hope it wasn't answered somewhere previously. Even if so please redirect me or tell me what else to try since I'm quite frustrated!.. Please explain thoroughly because it's been a while since I was into hd2 tech stuff. Thank you in advance!
PS: Can I somehow find what rom I currently have IF there is one installed? I'm lost here....

check the battery pins. ive read of people for whom it is possible to get into bootloader, and it seems like normal, but then it fails to load when trying to boot fully, usually a reboot loop.
forget about finding what rom is on there currently, its time wasted, really.
a better use of your time is using your serial to find out which rom the htc website will let you have, and flash that, from sd card preferably.
Why not just reset the phone, and start over?
found a good rom, installed it via sd card, still reboot loop. that make me think that the problem might be the battery pins. if so what's the solution?
same thing happend to me just adjust the pins

Hi,
Did you find any solution for that problem?
Thnx
hey guys ...
there is the whole story
My friend's HD2 device was working in strange way, When restarting it gives a white screen and the HTC logo and freeze at this screen and then after a large number of re-starting it works, but when re-restart it again it return to the white screen
After a Hard Rest through the sound buttons the top and bottom were formatted but the device remain standing at the white screen after a Hard
the only solution to me was upgrade to new Rom and after read in the forum that This problem can be a lack of Compatibility between the Rom and the radio, but I think that the device had not been updated b4 by a lack of awareness of my friend, and then check the SPL version ,it was 1.42.000 (still locked) then try to ulock it by HSPL2_RUN as posted in some thread
it done right and the message "we hacked .." and enter boot-loader and checked it became 1.42.spl then I tried to upgrade by the following Rom:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_GCC_1.43.488.1_Radio_Sig ned_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When updating the device whenit reached 9% did not complete the upgrade untill the upgrade process stopped by itself so I did restart the black screen appeared within a triangle inside the exclamation point.
now I started to be panic, and then search the net and found the advice from someone to use Task29 before the upgrade and when I run the program worked fine and after restarting the white screen returned with the HTC logo inside
I tried again to upgrade the same Rom and returned the same result ,searching again and found many advise to upgrade the SPL to version 2.0 which is recommended by most members
After the successful conversion of the SPL took off the device and swithched to boot loader to make sure the validity of conversion and the back of the version then after restating the white screen appeared and when I tried to reboot again the device turned off, I tried several times and did not work I said maybe the battery and when i connect the charger it did not ship and the orange led did not spark, tried the USB method but same result
I tried another charger and a another usb cord and it did not work and I check the battery by an electronics specialist, He assured that the battery is fully charged.
And now the device does not function at all, not even shaking when running and screen or charging
please guys i need ur argent assistance ...even a thought may help
Note: This is not the first time for me unlocking and flashing thin , my last devices was: JAM - k-jam - Jazjam - Omnia (current)

Hi,
Since you have enough experience in flashing custom ROM, I would suggest you the following ways:
1. Make sure battery is at least 50% and the battery pins are not bent
2. Format your micro sd card to fat 32
3. Find and download the CORRECT STOCK ROM. You can download it from htc website if your hd2 is non branded, or you can download it from your carriers website if your hd2 is a branded one. Make sure the downloaded file is not corrupt due to download process
4. Extract the downloaded file using 7 zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh Then, rename it to: leoimg.nbh then copy it to the root directory of your micro sd card
5. Go into boot loader and follow the onscreen instruction. If therenis no hardware issue, it should work.
Good luck ...
thanks m8 but I've checked the pins and changed the battery with fully charged one ..
but it's no boot loader mode ... its completely off
thanks 4 ur support
Not offering solution, just an observation,,,, hanging at HTC screen and only occasionally booting, plus flashing hanging at. 9% is a bad sign, sometimes associated with a stuck radio, and/or/caused by thermal issues.
Try chilling the phone with stock nbh ready to go on SD card, in sealed bag in fridge/freezer for a while, then try to SD flash.
If flashing starts, (white screen blue writing) keep an eye out for "rsa radio fail" or similar.
if the flash goes well, but then later the problem returns, it's pretty conclusively hardware.
thanks buddy for the advise but as I mentioned b4 ...
the device doesn't boot anymore ... and yeah it's Hardware bug I think.
best regards
Hi guys,
I successfully flashed Android to my HD2 a few months back. I used what I believe is Cotulla's rom(?). However the other day my phone sorta died and whenever I plugged it into the charger it would vibrate go through the boot screen and reset at the "1234 go go go" stage. I read some reading on the forum and flashed it back to "RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" from the HTC website, using the SD card. Windows mobile restored the phone and I started using it again.
I tried to put android back on it and I think I unsuccessfully tried to update the radio after which the phone sorta died again. So I thought ok, no problem, lets get back to windows again. So I installed the HTC rom again through the SD card, which the screen told me was successful. But now I can't get the phone to boot or go into bootloader or anything. When I plug the charger in, I get a vibrate and HTC bootscreen, with the red writing at the bottom left and then dead to only do this again and again. If i pull out the charger, the phone just dies. Battery charge was about 50% when it died.
Any ideas or help on how to resurrect my beloved HD2 would be greatly appreciated!
*quick update*
I stuck the phone in the fridge for a while and managed to get it into the bootloader just once and flashed the official winmo rom again, which was successful but still dead phone!
What made you decide to stick the phone in the fridge??
What is your SPL version??

Probably the dozens of threads that talk about successfully flashing only when the phone has been cooled.
@op it doesn't look good. Usually the fridge trick working implies hardware overheating issues.
Just confirm please, its not a tmous right?
Samsamuel is right, i just read about it and thought hey, why not! plus it got a priceless look from the mrs! lol
It's definitely not TMOUS, its UK Virgin and the SPL was 3.03.0000 if I recall correctly.
When I cool it, I can get it into bootloader, but only once.
well, i still suspect its hardware and unfixable, but there have been cases where for whatever reason a rom suddenly seems to fix it. Try all the versions of the correct stock Rom.
Try the 1.43 the 1,66 and again the 3.14, wwe ones, chilling the phone well before each flash, a good 20 mins.
