I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...
Hi, I`m having some serious issues when trying to flash my HERMES. As far as I can tell, it is SIM Unlocked, but not sure if it`s CID unlocked. it`s SPL-1.06, and I can't seem to get it to install HARDSPL. I have tried, and tried and tried and tried. I've tried flashing VIA SD-CARD, but it just says "LOADING" and displays a number at the top, then goes back to the bootloader screen.
When I am flashing via the wizard, it'll go into the bootloader screen, and the wizard will fail saying it cannot connect "CONNECTION ERROR"...
I am at my wits ends, and cannot figure this out for the life of me. I have had 3 TYTN's now, and this one has gotten the better of me. I was able to flash both of my other TYTN's, but unfortunately I got the WSD, and cannot repair them, they are both beyond my technical knowledge of repairs...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help....
Trying so hard to get this done...
Copied the .nbh (ren to hermimg.nbh) to my SDCARD and reset into bootloader, as I said, it just came up "LOADING" then back to bootloader....
I'd rip my hair out if I had any..
any help would be appreciated..
***UPDATE - I don't know what the hell happened, but suddenly, this bugger is letting me flash VIA SD. It's a damned miracle!
Just out of the blue, it asked me to flash via SD in the bootloader. Thank goodness! After 3 hours, I finally got it working..
Cheers all!
if you need more info, just ask, I will provide all I can....

Okay, when you're in the "bootloader" method, have you renamed the file that you're trying to flash "HERMIMG.NBH".
also, try to use the "stripped" AT&T ROM first, see if that'll help correct the issue.
Did you flash that first before you attempted to flash a different ROM on your Hermes? I've read in many different posts that it is highly suggested to flash that first then flash your ROM to your Hermes.
Should always flash via SD-Card, not recommending flashing via USB Wizard.
Try the "stripped" rom first, on a formatted (FAT32) microSD card, and see if that helps.
Cheers
i have download the "stripped" AT&T ROM ,it also the same ,when using USB method ,it stuck at 1% and my devide reboot .
when using SD card method ,it show (loading ...) about 2 second ,then it will back to tri-color mode there .

I had that exact same problem.
I noticed that I hadn't named the file properly.
It's HERMIMG.NBH I kept putting in HERMING.NBH. It's kind of funny, but it's an easy mistake. When you boot with the "HERMIMG.NBH" it should flash. I used the HARDSPL V7, which can be downloaded at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722, which is a "sticky" for this forum. Try flashing that one. Also, double check your .nbh file, make sure it's HERM IMG not HERM ING
That was the problem I was having too, it would just show "LOADING" and a bunch of numbers then drop to the bootloader... Then all of a sudden... "POOF" it worked, after I double checked the file and noticed my spelling error.
Now, if you have that fixed and still getting the error, it might be something else. I'm not sure how to exactly fix that, but as I said, mine was just a minor spelling error.. The exact spelling that I have, don't know if it is case sensitive, is "HERMIMG.nbh"
if it is case sensitive, that could also be a minor issue.
try it, if it works, then bingo, you're back in business, if not, then I'm not sure how else to fix it.
Cheers!
>.< ,now i type correct word "HERMIMG" ,it shown loading ... and (00068002) on the top of loading ... ,now it ,have better improvement ,it show loading ... for about 5 second only jump back to tri-color there ,izit this is the normal procedure ?

Okay, we're getting there. But still a long way off from it working as it should.
Okay, do you know if your phone is HARDSPL?
If you haven't already HARDSPL your phone, you should download that and try to flash that onto your phone.
Also sounds like it isn't SUPERCID. You'll have to CID unlock your phone, which is a good possibility as to why it isn't accepting other ROMS.
If your phone responds to the flash wizard when you download a ROM then get the SUPERCID and try to flash that one first, then move on to the HARDSPL.
For the SUPERCID, and my previous post has the HARDSPL.
At least the situation is improving, and your phone is starting to respond.
We'll get it working!
The HARDSPL you have to follow most of the "manual" installation instructions, and copy, then rename the "HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh" file.
Try to flash that file, and we'll see if we can get it going.
Cheers
i think my phone not yet HARDSPL ,can you guide me to do this ?
i search the web ,it show me to here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722" izit correct ?
and also superCiD:
1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe
3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer
or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.
5. Insert microSD card on your phone
6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
how i wana do the step 6 ,my phone is stuck now ,i cant log in at all >< ,but i try step 1-5 ,it also shown the 00068002

Attached is the HARDSPL file, already named "HERMIMG.nbh, which you just need to copy onto your SD-CARD.
When those are successful you will be able to flash any rom you want (provided it is as Hermes ROM)....
But as of right now, your phone is NOT bricked. It just currently has no ROM on it.
Have you tried to HARD-RESET your phone?
That's the two soft keys at the bottom of the phone, above the SEND and about the END keys.
Press and hold BOTH of those, then press the "RESET" button on the bottom of the phone. That'll hard-reset the phone.
I'm not saying to do that, just asking if you've tried that option yet.
Good luck, let me know how it's going.
Cheers!

Glad the problem was solved, and very happy to help!
Absolutely I can.
First thing is first, we have to SUPERCID unlock your phone, and we have to HARDSPL your phone.
Run the HARDSPL first, because the wizard will actually temporarily superCID your phone, so that you can install the HARDSPL, which will help prevent you from ever bricking your phone.
with your phone plugged in for activesync, you have to run the "autounlocker.bat" file in the SUPERCID. What this will do is make your phone accept other custom ROMS, whether it is from another carrier, or one of the ROMS that someone has developed on here.
After this, I would highly suggest, that if you ever flash your phone again with another ROM, do it the "SD-CARD" way. I'd only use the wizard to flash the HARDSPL and the SUPERCID.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers!
Hehe ,My friend ,i had flash my phone with WM6.5 rom ,my device was Dopod838pro ,it is old device ,for my opinion WM6.5 not so suitable for my device ,but WM6.5 look amazing >.<
heh! Nice! Well sounds like your phone is now back amongst the living! That's good news! Hope you have many years of enjoyment with your phone!
Glad to have been of help for you!

Unfortunately, no, I don't. You'd have to get a Vanilla, or a "lite/ultralite" rom. That's about the best I can suggest, unfortunately with the hermes, it does have a smaller ROM size, and limited RAM compared to the new, more up-to-date modern phones, like the 8925(Kaiser), or the new Tilt 2..

I tried flashing the MrDSL's WM6.5 ROM to my Hermes. Of course I followed the direction, I have Hard SPL (ever since Schaps rom) and stripped ATT flashed first.
However when I started flashing this rom, when I reached about 5% on the progress bar, I keep on getting Error. I followed the Recovery Steps and luckily I get the Tri-color mode and the process says Recovery successful. I then proceeded with the flashing but still getting errors, then recovery, then continue, then error again. Its been 10th try now.
Finally I canceled the update but I can only get the tri-color screen. Tried to Softreset as well as Hardreset but no go....my screen only gives me the Tri-color mode.
Any advice please....
thank you very much...
EDIT.....
problem solved sorry for that post.
what I did was:
1. flashed again the stripped ATT ROM....success!
2. flashed again MrDSL's WM6.5 titanium ROM (titanium)....success!
Dopod 838 Pro working again!
thanks again!!!
Bootloader shows but phone won't flash
Hey everyone,
I'm not new to
flashing my Hermes.
I'm just having an
issue I've never ran
into and can't figure
out. I would
appreciate some
assistance.
The strangest thing
is happening to me
while attempting to
flash from my
storage card. I put
the phone in
bootloader mode
and it takes
(IPL-1.04 /
SPL-2.10.olipro).
Then on the bottom
Serial shows and it
never goes to the
next step and ask
me do I want to
flash the new image.
I put the att original
on the 2gb storage
card over and over
and over and
renamed it
HERMIMG.nbh over
and over and over
and just am
flabbergasted. The
phone is not bricked,
it just refuses to
flash again.
Does anyone here
have any solutions
or suggestions?
PS - I have
formatted the card
to fat32 and I have
checked it for errors.
The HERMIMG.nbh
file is on the root of
the storage card.
Help needed.!!!
My phone suddenly started turning off today and did the vibrate then freeze on boot issue on me.. (overheating?? far too quickly)
so i thought ok .. i'll put a stock rom back on 3.14 uk (not actually able to download for my serial number from htc.com but i got it off the forum, original rom was 1.66 i think a few months back)
I did this and it still over heats..so i thought i'll remove hspl and put stock spl on to take it for repair/return sell to cex or something.
i got the 3.14 nbh and renamed in LEOIMG and everything was fine an seemed to be flashing ok..
it was at the red/green/blue screen for ages and the text did display spl.304 rather than hspl.. so i thought..cool..its done.. so i removed the battery and put it back in..
BAD MISTAKE!!
i get these errors issues now:
triangle with software update failed try again when i turn it on
0028022 "not allow" text when i go into bootloader
i cant load a rom because i dont seem to have hspl anymore
i get "upgrade rom coded error try again".. on the coloured screen in boatloader
i get critial error bad spl version when i try to use hspl2/3
when i try to flash with stock rom again i get to 2% then get the errors:
invalid vendor id error 294
then goes to software update failed triangle try again
am i basically f**ked???
Did i remove the battery mid flash during the spl bit?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP WISE PEOPLE!!

As long as u got rid of hspl you should be able to get the phone fixed by htc or tmobilie or whatever plan ur on..
Good luck

Install the correct stock ROM (the one who match with your S/N) over SD.
how do i know which matches? and how do i do it via sd?

Put in your serial no of your phone (found underneath the battery) into the HTC support website and you will find the ROM that matches your phone. You will then need to download the ROM, extract it and take the .img file out of it and rename it as LEOIMG as before and flash via SD card.
shouldn't even need to use sd card. the correct rom should downgrade the spl over usb.
phone into bootloader,connect usb, run your update .exe, done.
you are guilty of getting over excited and lack of research. five minutes should have told you that you can't use hspl to install 3.14, and that flashing from sd first removes hspl,changes spl, then runs the compatibility tests again and shows exclamation mark if it fails.
I had the same problem i thought i bricked my htc which i was testing before buying i know stupid idea brick the phone before i buy it, basically i had installed hspl 2.08 from 1.42.00 and installed the froyo ROM build which was all good it was working but running really slowly, i couldnt get the ringtone to change which was probably due to the fact that the build did not come with any preinstalled which is fine as i downloaded a ring on mp3 and set it as that, and the radio was one of the latest which wasnt giving me a good reception so i decided, fine that's ok let me get my hands on some apps now so i downloaded a couple tweaks, multiboot and games and put them on my sd card; as well as a tweak to enhance the speed as it was going really slowly on the android, the second i put my sd card into the phone and tried running metamorph an app i was advised to use to apply a windows 7 mobile theme the phone went blank, the only way to get the phone into tri coloured screen mode was to plug it in via the FRONT usb port of my machine which would bring my phone back to life.........oh so i thought, so i was able to see the phone load up to htc white load screen and it would display my buil in red BUT after that it should show the "quietly something something message" and load right.....WRONG the phone just restarted and it would just do the same thing go to htc and restart so i managed to use the vol down+cancel call button to kick it into the tri coloured screen and managed to get the phone back into hspl 1.42.00 which completed but then i still couldnt get past the htc welcome screen!! ARGHH!!! So after spending a whole night applying different hspl's and trying to reflash teh rom via usb and failing i thought id give up and just pay for a bricked phone which i was paying £150 for btw (i know a bargain and brand new!!!) BUT as i came into work today i thought let me try a different pc as that may affect it, and after i downloaded an official ROM update for the phone 1.72 i i plugged my phone in and after literally 20 seconds the bloody thing turned on and started working as normal with no multiboot or rom installed i think i shall be CAREFULLY installing android on the phone one last time. . . . I hope this helped any users out there as i was panicking, and please remember that whatever you do is seriously AT YOUR OWN RISK, do not just jump the gun...sit down do some proper reading and watch some videos because after having to trouble shoot i must say im pretty good at applying roms hahahah i shall be very cautious from now on though. . .. sorry if the post was too long i am a noob my first post!!
yes.. i managed to fix it.. the same way kurt willems above mentioned... i installed the stock voda rom that matched my serial number.. kurt send me you paypal email and i'll bung a few quid in for your help..

im a bit sick of the winmo set up... it's just abit too fiddly with soo many settings to mess with..plus the handset gets hot too quickly recently and turns off, vibrates when i turn it on and freezes... need to get rid before it gets worse.. cant be bothered with the hassle.... besides.. i like the android phones..so ill go back to them...
right im having some real issues now, i decided NOT to mod my phone again, because once my phone started up again i had to insert the simcard so i turned the phone completely off took out the batt and re-inserted the simcard and then it was bricked again (htc welcome screen, then restarts then back to htc welcome screen and repeat) after that i tried another go at installing the hspl again i just took a random version tbh and tried that as mine is factory unlocked uk htc, and then it failed i then took out the battery and notice that the spokes that connect to the metal part of the battery was a bit crooked so i carefully reseated the battery and hey presto its working again ( i can get into the phone home screen etc) so i quickly downloaded the origional spl from theunlockr"dot"co(m)/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock/ and installed it and then gave the phone a factory reset and now it seems to be back to how it would be if it was brand new but now im in a dilemma as i dont know which spl to use as well as what rom is best suited for teh spl and radio because i do not want to brick my phone again because if it does i will end up going back to the phone that has lasted me the longest nokia 6200 XD

Firstly you haven't bricked your phone. Bricking your phone means that it is reactive as a brick - it does not switch on.
To get the latest standard ROM, then go to the HTC website for your area, select the ROM you require and enter your phone's serial number. If you are entitled to use that ROM, then it will download. If not then you will get an error message. You may have to select your operator's version of the ROM.

Assuming, from your icons, that the HD2 is locked to O2; therefore you should be able to download the O2 1.72 ROM (no HSPL required) and it will not invalidate your warranty.
nope thats just what tariff i am using. . .Ive been looking around and now im qutie confused i thought the process for having android on the htc was literally
Download a hspl and install - reset
Download a radio and install - reset
Run CLCARD.EXE then HARET.EXE and presto were in android, now unless something has changed is this right because im about to.
Download hspl3 and install - reset
Download radio and install - reset
Download a ROM and install and - reset
now is this the neccessary steps or am i about to mess up my phone again =.=
It would be helpful to know which ROM, RADIO and SPL you already have.
As for running Android, all that is pre-required is that you have the minimum .50 RADIO (it should be specified in the Android ROM's page). Although flashing the newest RADIO (2.15.50.14) won't do any harm.
Although I am with T-Mobile UK, I have the HTC 1.66WWE ROM, 2.15.50.14 RADIO and 1.66HSPL (via HSPL2). I downloaded an Android version and installed it on the SD Card. It works fine. Since I only tried it a couple of times, I can say that it boots and generally works. But I prefer WimMo.

Hey all, I am having trouble booting anything onto my HD2 everytime i boot the phone i get stuck on the (tri colour screen) "Hardspl" i think..
I am able to install original HTC roms and custom roms via USB and Serial but after i install them and it says installation complete when the phone restarts it just gets stuck on the "Hardspl" screen again??
Any help is appreciated thanks
Here are some images to help
http://img29.imageshack.us/g/dsc0007riq.jpg/
(UPDATED)
How do i remove hspl ive tried installing an offical rom from the SD card but i still boot into this screen ????
Try this........
Power off the phone (make sure your battery is over 50%)
Turn on while holding the vol. down button.
You should be at bootloader (three colour screen)
If you have HSPL installed you should see "cotulla" and "HSPL" on the bootloader somewhere.
If youve been flashing official roms though this may have uninstalled HSPL.
I couldnt get the screenshots you linked to...
You can attach image files using the "manage attachments" button down under the text entry area.. (i think)
Id suggest trying to flash a stock/official rom just now until you get up and running.
With the phone at bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen....
Connect via USB and wait for "serial" to change to "USB", this could take a few minutes.......
When you see "usb" flash the ROM from your pc......
You should make sure that you have the correct ROM for your phone, go to the HTC site and pump in your serial number.
If you still have problems after this then post back here with any error messages you might get...
Hope that helps.....
Thanks for the reply, for the link you need to add (http ://) sorry i should have mentioned that
but i just finished doing what you told be and it finished installing. it had the HTC logo on phone with loading bar as on PC screen no errors :S but im still stuck on the tri colour screen
I originally had android booted onto this mobile but the 3G was not working so i tried installing the HTC wm 6.5 rom that I downloaded from the HTC website but it would not get out of the tri colour screen after i installed it.
So i though it may have been the hardspl its self so i updated the SLP from 2.05 to the 3.03 one im currently on but it does the same thing
Hmm ok...
So the flash finished all the wasy to 100% and there were no error messages..
then the phone rebooted and went to bootloader (3 colours)...??
Restarting the phone just keeps returning you to bootloader??
Try turning off then back on while holding down both volume buttons and see what happens.
Which model of HD2 do you have and which ROM did you flash??
Yes thats correct.
When i turn the device on wile holding vol up-down i get a grey screen to
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. press vol up to restore or press any other keys to cancel"
and im not sure what HTC HD2 i have..
Model: T8585 ?
I flashed the latest rom from the HTC website using the S/N
"RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
Okay, get to that screen and press volume up to continue, this will perform a hard reset which is recommended after a flash, your device should then boot up, may take a few minutes as its the first time..........
ok, It finished in like less then 10sec but there was not skips did from 1% - 100% smoothly and says "Restore....Completed Press VolUp to boot"
So i pressed volume up and once again stuck on the tri colour screen
any more suggestions or is my phone dead?
Hmmm
Phones not bricked because 95% of the time if you can get to bootloader the problem can be fixed........
I have the feeling this is something obvious that Im not picking up on.
Chances are someone else will see this and point out the obvious but at the minute I cant think why it might be doing that......
You could try flashing the ROM from SD card.
Rename the file on your PC to "leoimg.nbh" and put it on a 2gb/4gb sd card, turn the phone off, put the card in, turn on and it should flash........
Like I said, i dont think your phone is dead, I think Im missing something obvious....
its weird because i can install roms, hardspl's and all that stuff it knows the phone is there and installs them but for some reason it never gets passes the hardspl stage.. on each boot.
it accually boots into the tri colour screen in a split second of turning the phone on
Its a longshot but is there any possibility that your volume down button is stuck in the pressed position.........
yeah i have installed off the SD card already. that took awhile but it says everything is ok and installsion has completed.
same problem though once i restart tri-coloured screen pops up.
Im afraid Im not sure about this one...........
I'll keep thinking and let you know if anything occurs to me.....
Im sure someone else will chip in at some point and point out the issue though.
alright no worries thanks for the help and time hopefully someone knows what the problem is.
Maybe if i uninstall the Hardspl? might totally wreck it and 100% brick my phone if it fails but I think its the only option ill have left soon
uninstalling hspl shouldnt cause any harm........
I didnt realise you had HSPL installed, I take it you instaled that after flashing the stock rom??
If you have HSPL installed......
Try to install a custom rom, ie an energy rom, just as an experiment........
dunno if youve seen the images yet conan, but unless its changed since, the OP has 3.03.0000
also, if he has magldr installed ( i didnt see it mentioned, but..) when you hard reset it takes just a few seconds, because it is only hard resetting magldr (at least thats my understanding, and would offer a reason why hard reset is so quick)
I suspect incorrect 3,14 flash, which didnt complete so its returning to bootloader,
so, OP, bootloader - hspl4 - 3.03.hspl - flash your 3.13 rom again, over usb.
ok thanks ill try that right now, also yes magldr was installed for android but i thought I got rid of it once i rebooted the offical HTC rom.
If this works im donating $20 to you right away no joke .. ive been trying to fix for 13hours straight

sd card flash, right?
Step 1 of the flash is the spl gets overwritten by the one in the leoing.nbh rom (3.03.0000 in this case) and then the phone reboots, and starts to flash , , splashscreen (where magldr is), radio, rom.
BUT, the phone wont allow the flash to start because hspl is now gone, so it fails CID checks and stops, so doesn't remove magldr, radio, rom, nothing, it just stops. Further attempts at flashing fail because you teh user haven't notived the spl change, you assume the whole flash failed, and that hspl is still there.
You shouldnt be able to get that far normaly, it would fail before it even starts, on a stock spl, except that hspl was there, so the flash was allowed to begin.
Ok, so its on SPL-3.03.HSPL now then I installed the latest HTC offical rom with USB but still no go
also if it is resetting magldr how come it doesent load up like it used to after a reset
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
