Well when i first tried to install it didnt really work because i didnt use the newest bootloader. I dont think its going to work for you either unless you use it. I would just go back to the stock rom/radio and use then install the newest boot loader/unlocker, then radio, then gps rom.
But if you want to try, your going to have to get a sd card, format it to fat32 then put the .nbh (the largest file in the rom download) file on the card, but name the file TITAIMG.nbh. Then put the phone in boot loader mode (hold camera, power, and reset)
When the phone starts up this time the bootloader will load that .nbh file to the phone just as if you had done it through active sync (close).
You can use this for anything really. If you want to go back to the stock rom, download the rom exe from htc's website and extract the .nbh file with a program called zipscan. If you do this you will be back to stock everything except maybe the BL im not really sure if.
If you want to try the newest rom (which most likely wont work since your not using the newest hard spl) just take that .nbh file and name it TITAIMG.nbh and put it on your sd card and put phone in boootloader mode and it should copy that image.
I tried to explain the best i could just ask if you have any questions.
for the life of my i cannot see why people cant search for a problem before they post about it.

Did you try to hold down the power/camera buttons and do a soft reset to try and get back to the bootloader screen?

This worked for me too!!!! Simple too. You can extract the .nbh file using winrar too.
And to comment on why people don't search for answers first before posting.....
I read everything I could before trying all of this out. My computer experienced the BSOD in the middle of the relocking process. The above listed methos was the only way that I could get my device to work. And yes, I asked the same question that hb1774 asked. I had read about this method in another post, but everything is so spread out and very new to me and a lot of people. Lets try not to be sarcastic. People come here to learn and hack. I know a hell of a lot about computers, but I'm not Yoda, so I'm going to need help. Until there is a well organized post with a solution to every issue that comes up, there are going to be repeat questions. If you know that it's a repeat question and you know where the answer is burried in the forum, why not post a link to the answer? Just my 2 cents worth.

well said johnannie. if you want to help people - help people. i have the same issue with my Mogul.

Updated 6/16/08:
-Created bootsplash kitchen along with instructions.
-Included information about flashing via microsd card.
Little background on Titan boot sequence for those who don't know exactly what this kitchen/tutorial does:
Many confuse the term "ROM" with the OS ROM. The term "ROM" has been used so often in conjunction with the OS ROM, that it's become jargon. When one refers to the "ROM" he/she usually is referring to the OS ROM. The ROM is the read only memory that can only be altered with a firmware flash. In actuality, there are 5 parts that make up the total ROM.
1. SPL - Bootloader
2. Radio - GSM or CDMA radio
3. First Splash - Splash screen that shows Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions.
4. Second Splash - Splash screen after the Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions disappear.
5. OS - The OS, a.k.a. what you flash when you cook a rom with dcd's kitchen etc.
This is how we're able to flash the bootloader, radio, OS etc. separately. You notice this more when you flash with the microsd card. When the bootloader loads and checks the image, it tells you exactly what part of the ROM it is. If you're flashing the OS, it says OS. If you're flashing the radio, it says CDMA (type of radio the Titan uses).
The Titan has either 3 or 4 boot splashes depending on whether or not you use a startup animation. The first 2 are part of the ROM. The 3rd and 4th are the startup animation (if included as part of OS ROM) and the welcomehead splash (Windows Mobile splash, which can easily be changed without flashing anything by copying/pasting your image of choice named welcomehead.96.png to \Windows on your phone).
This kitchen cooks the First and Second Splashes of the ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanBootsplashTutorial
Enjoy!
Awesome - Thanks GC!!
Nice. Will try later on.
"Below is a guide to cook a tiny ROM which will only flash your bootscreens. Flashing it will cause a hard reset, but will leave your current ROM intact."
So people would read!
Hey GC - This is the same error I got the last time I tried to use this tool.... Hae you seen this, and what does it mean??? I clicked on the nb_image_converter.exe and then these 2 boxes popup.....
Helpppppppp.....

Whoa wtf... this program has NOTHING to do with BuildOS. Do you have PPCGeeks BuildOS installed or something?
Yes, but why would it look for that?? This program is a simple executable??
No idea... try to completely uninstall PPCGeeks and see if it still pops up.
Thats the damdest thing..... Uninstalling the ppckitchen and the nb tool runs FINE.....

Haha, well no real reason to have it now anyway right?
You testing this out? If so let me know how the tutorial was and post up your bootsplash!
That goes for everyone, I'd like to get some feedback on how it goes. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you master it, it takes like a minute tops...screw using ppcgeeks kitchen for this.
Also, if you'd like to share your bootsplash, post it up!

Ok - Works great.... I did however make a batch file so that it's just easier to click on it instead of using a DOS box, lots of people may have an issue finding the folder they saved the images in, and it autostarts Duttys.... I can AIM it too you GC....
Here's my screen.....
GC14, was just wondering... You say that there is no way around the hard reset. Well if i remember correctly, quite a wails back, in the 3.27 Leaked ROM era, when i would flash my mogul with the leaked ROM, was the first time i got that annoying "Test purpose only" Boot screen flash.
Well my attempt to change it was to use the official Rom before this, by doing the SD card method, and only wait for it to say Finish flashing bootscreen, and i would reset the device immediately, to prevent any corruption.
This method indeed changed my boot screen splash, and nothing else, and it didn't hard reset anything.
So shouldn't anyone be able to just place the .nbh file into a SD card, and let it just flash the boot screen that way?
I'm only saying.. i actually haven't tried it, since i did it the long way anyway.

I've never tried it. I simply said there's no way around the hard reset if you use the RUU. First and foremost, if people are going to try it, they have to rename RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh. If you want to try it and let me know, go for it.
Thanks gc14 (aka gcincotta ) for the tutorial. Worked great...now to play with some different splash screens!
Just to be clear this will hard reset the phone but will not erase the ROM. This means all contacts, programs, settings, etc... will be left intact?
great tutorial! worked like a champ! Thanks!

Does the microsd flash have the same issue as others where it has to be a smaller card? Sorry for not being more specific. I haven't looked too much into that issue as I don't have a smaller card, I'm a 4gb microsd.

Flashing via the microsd card is the same whether flashing rom, radio, or bootsplashes. Non microsdhc card, formatted to FAT32, with cluster size less than 4k.
Which splash screen is this? The Windows one or the (on DCD Verizon) the white verizon screen?
... I knew messing about with ROMS would do this one day..
I Started to flash the 3.14 (I think) update from the HTC site this morning, I realised after I started HSPL would get in the way of that...
SO now it loads to the coloured lines screen, I tried coping a image to the SD card to flash straight from that but I cant get it to search the SD card. All I get when I hold down the power and volume button is a "loading" message for a split second, then nothing else!
Help! Any ideas what I can do now?
Thankyou!
Ok, so I can now get it to read from the SD card that there is a image there - but it just sticks at "loading"
Ideas?

2 Options.
Previous flash has gone wrong, so reflash the rom you was flashing using sd-card (also check on what SPL you are).
Get a goldcard and reflash any other stock rom.
SPL-2.08.0000
Is whats on the screen, previously it said HSPL so I think one of the roms may have been successful enough to change to SPL... But im guessing this is bad now as it wont flash again from the SD card!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725985&page=7
This updated it to 2.08.HSPL
Im fairly certain Ill be able to flash at least a stock ROM now.
Wanted to ask first, Ill be messing with Andriod and possibly windows 7. Is there anything I should preferably be flashing too? Are there any limits with 2.08HSPL I need to be aware of before I start?
Thanks,

you'll need an updated radio for nand android or wp7 (each has its specifics - see threads).
but what wm rom won't matter, as well, it will be erased
no limits. if you have hspl you can flash any compatible rom, etc.
Hey guys, I had this problem like three weeks ago, then got my phone working but this time it won't. What's happening is that when I boot on it just goes to a blank white screen. I have 2.08.HSPL etc. It usually works after a few battery pulls/soft resets but this time it isn't. I've tried running Task 29's, but they're stuck at 0%.
Everything I try do gets stuck at 0%. Well I've tried running a Stock RUU (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.0 7U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe) and that got stuck at 0% too. I tried downloading my stock ROM off the HTC site but it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Why isn't it? My phones not a TMO HD2? It's a EU Leo bought from o2 Ireland. Can anybody link me to possibly the UK o2 stock ROM?
I downloaded a stock ROM from here but all that comes with the English WWE version is a .exe and not a .nbh.
I also flashed Artemis' custom ROM from SD card and that flashed etc. but when I tried to boot I get the white screen.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Sorry to hear your HD2 is not working right now Skellyyy. I am with T-Mobile so I am not familiar with O2 but do they not have an official ROM on their website? Do you have to download your official ROM from HTC? I tried to pull up the o2 website but for some reason it would not let me pull it up. I went to www.o2.co.uk/ and I got this error message.
Error 502 - Bad Request

The exe is how you run the update utility for that ROM too by the way. Well atleast it is if you are using a computer to flash it. You have to right click on it and click explore to find tbe RUU file.
Also seeing as you have the EU HD2 why not just download the official update from the T-Mobile website and try it?
Yeah no I don't think they do. I looked on there and they hadn't got it. I think TMO have it on there website is because there's is a different phone then to the EU one.
Wouldn't downloading that ROM sort of brick my phone? Or would it not as the EU is compatible with all radio's?
I know the way you run the .exe then the RUU pops up, but HSPL won't flash anything. I've already tried. I know flashing from the SD works as I've flashed an Artemis ROM from it... but still had the screen.

Good point I have not thought about that. The hole thing about the TMOUS HD2 not being able to flash non TMOUS Radios probably does have something to do with it being there on thier website. This is an effort to keep people from getting confused and downloading the wrong ROM and bricking their phone.

No I don't think just downloading the ROM will brick your HD2, you have to flash it for it to even have a chance to brick it ha ha ha ha..........Just kidding I know what you meant, and no I do not think it will brick your pbone cause you have the EU HD2. You might get some preinstalled T-Mobile apps that you can not use but I think this would be the only side effect. But then again I was thinking you could flash it and then try to reflash your regular ROM as I know that the T-Mobile ROM should fix any issue you are haveing with SPL or the ROM. So maybe then you can get HSPL to flash sucessfully.

I also know if you flash the T-Mobile ROM via SD card it overwrites all, but I think this is the case with any SD card flash of any official ROM. The Artemis ROM is a custom ROM so if you are haveings SPL incompatibility issues it would not fix this as it would take an official ROM flashed via SD to fix that.

stuck at 0% usually means hspl is no longer there.
what does it say by 'spl' in bootloader?
If you have tried to flash a stock rom from sd card at all, , hspl will have gone EVEN IF THE FLASH DIDNT APPEAR TO HAPPEN, hspl will still have gone.
Your phone, if from o2, will always only ever take o2 stock roms, unless hspl is there. HTC website will only let you download o2 roms with that serial.
The .exe file the rom comes as is really a zip file, , right click and 'unzip here or extract here', or rename the file from .exe to .zip, , the file ruu_signed.nbh is inside there.
Artemis probably failed because of your radio and/or spl. tell us what it says in spl, and what rom you want to aim for, and we can take it from there.

Yeah no, that happened me before and I was only had 2.08.0000 but I'm sure I have 2.08.HSPL now. As I've said, it's happened before, in which all I did was do a soft reset and that worked. Doesn't seem to work now though.
I'm pretty sure MAGLDR is wiped now anyway, as when I plug a USB in while off it doesn't boot up, but just goes to a red LED. Is this normal yeah?
Just tried flashing the ROM I mentioned... the little progress bar showed... then the phone rebooted. Now it's back to SPL.
I don't there's anything I can do now is there? :/
ok, hang on, do you have a tmous, or a regular hd2 from t mobile?
I have a EU Leo. I don't know where it's from as I bought it second hand. The guy said it was bought on o2 Ireland.
Hey SKellyyy not saying I don't beleive you but just do this to confirm you have a DU HD2. I know for positive I have a T-Mobile HD2 as I bought mine brand new from a T-Mobile store. On your HD2 touch Start/Settings/scroll down to About Phone/Hardware Information. This is what mine says.

if the send key is white its regular, green its tmous. yours will be regular, from o2.which is why none of those roms you tried worked. only ONLY o2 roms will work unless hspl is there, anmd as soon as you flash any stock rom using sd card, it will remove hspl and then teh flash will fail, but hspl is already gone.
so, to get..
a winmo rom
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl (3.03.hspl if you want a 3.14 rom) - bootloader - radio (if needed to update, see the rom thread) - bootloader - flash rom
to prep for nand android
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl - bootloader - radio - bootloader - magldr - magldr usb flasher - flash CWM
bootloader -
Lol dude I'm pretty positive as it only has 512MB ROM and it has no T-mo on top and the buttons are white.
I've already tried to flash HSPL again but that was using the second version of the software (can't remember the name) and it failed. It recognized the phone and let me choose 2.08.HSPL but the progress bar just went and went (for over an hour).
Where will I get a stock o2 ROM as the HTC website says "this software isn't available for your device"?

thats more likely the comp, not the phone. all usual things, reinstall activesync/wmdc, dont use 64bit os if you can help it, firewalls off, etc etc etc. easiest first test is use a different pc.
It was fine flashing CWM on Friday. Currently can't use a different PC, will get one later and try again.
Thinking if I get this fixed, I'm selling it. Too much sh*t happens with it. It's maybe just my phone but this usually happens everyday and a few battery pulls/soft resets fixes it. That by itself is annoying, but this is even more annoying.
hspl is different than flashing roms / cwm.
flashing and sync will work through any old usb port, rarely need to turn off firewalls, whereas hspl is realllly choosy. gotta be a usb socket directly on the motherboard, hates 64bit win, times out before the phone has rebooted if you start it from winmo running, isnt all that happy if you have changed teh usb drivers for that particular port, say for mtty, or android, (each usb port has its own drivers associated with it, thats why swapping usb ports if it fails is always the first step, try them all)
I've tried three different PC's. Two desktops and one laptop, all plugged in to motherboard USB'a but none of them are installing HSPL. They're all just going up and down on the progress bar. Should I try HSPL4? I'm using the HSPL3 program.
No computers are running 64bit btw.
Is there anywhere I can just get the o2 ROM and try flash it?
Yea go to HTC website, support, pick phone, downloads, change dropdown to rom upgrades, operator name is in the title. You can also find them in the official roms thread in rom development section, and elsewhere in various threads.
Keep gour head up!

Sorry you are having so much trouble out of your HD2. The HD2 is a great device but they are quirky as hell. I sure you will get it fixed, keep your head up man. Oh and don't give up on the HD2 just yet cause just like King Authur's Excalibure, The HD2 is a thing of legend.
Excilcior
Yeah, I'm currently looking to get a new HD2. Decided.
It's just the bootloader doing my head in, found the official ROM I need, but it'll only flash from PC and it's stuck at 0%. I need it as a .nbh so I can install from SD card. Do you know how I can do that if the RUU I downloaded is a .exe?
If you got RUU in .exe file install WinRar right click on the RUU file and choose "open with WinRar" then extract the .nbh file
I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.
Ok I sugest going back to the stock ROM for your HD2 as you can flash it via SD card anx make everything stock with ome flash. But if you want to go with a custom ROM I suvedt any oc the Energy ROMs they are great. You can flash either of the ROMs via SD card or just put your HD2 into bootloader and wait for Serial to change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then flash the ROM of your choice. If you flash via USB with official ROM it willnot revert your HSPL to SPL bit via SD card it will. Here is a link to tbe thread on how to flash via SD card.

Fist off make sure not to confuss putting your HD2 into bootloader and preforming a manual hard reset. To hard reset you have to power on and hold both volume down and up buttons down and the tricolored bootloader will appear for a brief secound but then another screen with instructions will appear. To put it into bootloader just power on holding down the volume down button and you will get tbe bootloader.
Flash the radio you want either before or after you flash the ROM. It really does not matter wich it will still preform it's function the same. I suggest radio version 2.15.50.14 as it is the latest radio version. You don't just have to flash another radio though if you don't want to. I say if you are not having problems with your current reception then your current radio should do fine. You can flash the radio tbe exact same way as the ROM using your SD card. Just rename the .nbh file for the radio to leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card. Or you can flash it via USB cable and your computer by using bootloader.
I checked out the link you posted. To download the zip file for the ROM you have to lick on the appropriate download link with the flag that applies to you. Let the page fully load when you go to the first page of the thread and look for the download button links toward the bottom of post #2. You will have two zip files to choose from I would say go with the largest of the two files as it will probably be the one with the start button at the bottom of the screen. I can not be certain of this though as I have a TMOUS HD2 and can not flash the ROM to check.
thanks for the reply, but i turned my phone to a brick yesterday before i read your post, turned out i didnt install HSLP (or something like that) which you need for installing new roms... immediately i went to a shop to get it fixed and luckily they had software that erased everything and installed original software
Glad you got your HD2 up and running again. I was wondering though if you checked to see if you could still get the bootloader to come up by holding down the volume down button down while powering on? Reason why I ask is you said.

I think when you flashed the custom ROM with out HSPL it ran a task 28(it is some debate wich is bett3er task 28 or task 29) before trying to flash the ROM which removed the current ROM from your HD2 leaving it ROM less. If your HD2 was truly bricked the place you brought it to would have had to disassemble your HD2 to get the main board out so they could use a JTAG on it. For that is the only way to revive a truly bricked HD2. So you see I am afraid you paid someone for something you could have done yourself. But the whole point was to get your HD2 up and running again so it is probably worth it to you. Peace
i've read what needed to be done in my sitation, and i ran into a big guide with some info about a program i needed to have fo 30 euro, it was then when i decided to go with the shop.
i had a RGB screen with some info on it, but i dont remember what it was, i'm just glad i got it fixed.
what free procedure have you had in mind?
Get HSPL back on it, Follow Energy ROM recomendations regarding radio version & get 23699 ROM Dinik from ROM repository.
With a few aditional registry tweaks this is one of the best performing ROMs put together.
My HD2 runs supurb on this ROM with over 40 aditional softwares loaded & used daily for work & leasure.
Simply blows a stock ROM away & makes Android only a SD card loaded plaything.

I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.

2 ways mate:
1. enter bootloader (press and hold volume down then briefly press power menu)
and flash a custom ROM
2. if you follow other peoples advice here of flashing a stock ROM via sdcard,
you will loose HSPL. or you can just flash a stock ROM via USB method and
keep HSPL on your device.
I personally recommend step 1.

What I was refering to in my other post is this. I feel like the shop probably just ran a task 29 (Google task 29 for HTC HD2) and then just flashed the stock ROM for your HD2 Wich can be downloaded for free from XDA, HTC.com, and probably your carriers website. These are all things you can do yourself. But like I said if the shop had to take your HD2 apart you did theright thing.
eh, i think they run the thing you said, so i am like 40$ lost on this... this solution should be easier to find, i searched google and xda for the problem i ran into, i typed different keywords, searched for an hour and found only some big guide with one of the steps requiring to buy a software for 20 euro. This forum should be better organized when it comes to HTC errors. Some screens and direct links to solutions.

Just an humble suggestion, users should read "stickies" before they do something to their device.
Almost all of guides, video, tutorial or references links are stickied at the beginning of the the forum/subforums
cheers
I've looked, to what I think is everywhere to find out how to get my HD2 back to Windows from Android. Alas I can't find anything resembling a guide or noob how-to so I can change it back. Going to Android was easy, but I got tired of it. So if anyone could point me in the right direction or maybe even reply with instructions, that would be awesome.
Really?? Everywhere???
Put....
hd2 return to stock
...into Google, see how many hits you get,,, about half a milliuon when i tested it a moment ago...
Most important part though, you say its a t mobile, is that tmous ? (t mobile usa) Because if it is then you utterly absolutely totally completely MUST NOT use any stock rom except tmous stock roms, else you'll brick it. Any other 't mobile' is just a normal hd2.
two methods
1/
Get your stock rom, (you'll probably want the 3.14 version)
Into bootloader,
Connect USB
Run the flash
If you also want to remove hspl, run hspl 4 and choose 3.03.0000
or
2/
take the rom you downloaded above,(filename will be something like ruu_Leo_tmous_blahblahblah.exe
Rename the extension from .exe to .zip and open it, inside find ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to an SD card that's 4gb or smaller, rename it to leoimg.nbh , into phone, restart into bootloader and it will flash, including removing hspl.

Yeah I guess it would be a tmous since i'm in the US (Assuming that makes it a tmous). I tried all kinds of things but I just couldn't get the flasher to recognize my phone or when using aMAGLDR/ClockworkMod Recovery could not get the windows rom to install. Though that was probably a good thing cause i don't think I had a tmous rom.
