5. Reprogram PST settings from earlier if necessary.

THEN when it was restarting it froze at the sprint splash. so i reset, and still it froze. I tried doing a hard reset and I tried the power+camera+reset combo with the stylus in
ahhhhh! please please any help is appreciated
TIA
Power+Camera then SoftReset, Just press the reset button while the power and camera are both pressed down and let them go and then the boot loader should show up
ahghhh! okay i did that and got the lovely bootloader
i hate to be retarded sounding but what next?
THANKS for your help its greatly appreciated!
OKay i tried to continue but now it says NO RADIO under the sprint logo! ahh its getting worse?
edit: of course now i can still get into the bootloader though, so what to dooo
if its of any help the bootloader says:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CPLD 9
u said u loaded the radio in there right, well if so go head and load the dcd rom in there now, if u dont have either go do the radio, then it will restart then freezes again if that happens do the power, camera and reset button thing and load the dcd rom then after that it will load fine
No radio means no radio. Install the full blown 3.16 to get it all, then install DCD's rom if you want.
heres a small idea. it might just work.

this question has been asked a million times. geez people. if you are not willing to read and do general troubleshooting wtf are you flashing roms for?!
cluttering forums..
for the record. i want world peace as much as the next guy, but not as much as i would like to have a forum community of people who read and thought for themselves. unfortunately...much like the real world..you can idiot proof a forum
Load the image on a Fat 32 sd card, name TITAIMG and soft reset to BL, It works every time.

Don't be an effing jerk... Posts like are a waste of space* and should be considered "clutter"
At any rate... I myself had this same issue so I just tell you what I did. As you have already done, when it freezes on the splash screen, enter the bootloader. I had an issue where my pc didnt recognize my device anymore, but I was able to find an app (here on xda) that stopped Activesync. Once I did that I was able to flash a diffrent rom and start over (I used dcd's 1.6.10 Sprint)
When starting over go very slow making sure not to overlook any step. Start with http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806 flash it
Then flash dcd's 2.0 beta.
I'm going to be honest, between being stuck in bootloader, frozen splash screen, reading an ungodly amount of useless posts* and listening to my girlfriend tell me to "Marry the effin phone" the whole thing took me about 10 hours. So if this helps great, let me know
Load radio and os rom from micro sd!
Ok, for all sprint users that are stuck because you loaded a cooked rom without loading the correct radio first. Or you have some how overwritten the radio rom, dont ask me how I did it but i did.
Here it the fix!
I was running the 2.40 Olipro boot loader when I preformed these steps. I do not know if they will work with other boot loaders.
download the Official 3.25 rom from HTC. ftp://Mogulrom:[email protected]_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe
Use winrar to unpackages it.
Format a microsd card as FAT32.
Copy Special_4350.nbh, and RUU_signed.nbh from the unpackaged 3.25 rom to the freshly FAT32 formated microsd. Rename "Special_4350.nbh" to "TITA100.nhb. Rename "RUU_signed.nbh" to "TITAIMG.nbh". Inset the microsd. Put device in bootloader mode, press and hold both power, and camera then softreset while holding the buttons. Follow on screen instruction from boot loader mode.
Hope this helps...
I appologize in advance if there is a lot of information about this but I have searched and searched and haven't found anything as of yet. I have the Verizon Touch Pro with the newest V2 stock ROM from several months back. Now I am interested and going back to a custom ROM. I have tried the latest HardSPL (I think it was 0.35) and when I run it I get "Loading..." on the TP and eventually "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION". If I pull the battery and put it back in it boots up to the way it was so clearly nothing is getting programmed. I have tried it on 3 computers and get the same thing. I had programmed it many times in the past successfully but that was before I upgraded to the V2 stock ROM. I'm wondering, is it that upgrade that is causing the problem? I have not tried via SD card yet but I plan to at some point today.
Thanks,
Tbone
Ok, I put the Verion HardSPL on my SDCard root and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh. I forced the phone to the tri-color screen by holding power and volume down and then pressing soft reset. It flashed the tri-color and then went immediately to "Loading..." and has been there for 10 minutes. I do remember that when I did this previously it would ask if I wanted it to load the ROM and that is not happening. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tbone
Ha, I got it. I put the ROM on the SDCard and then copied over VZW_TP_SSPL-Manual.exe and ran that on the TP. It initially showed "Loading..." and then quickly changed to "Checking..." followed by the option to load the rom on the SD card. Not sure if this is the only way to do it once you have installed the V2 ROM but it seemed to work at least with HardSPL. Interestingly, I then put the custom ROM on the SDCard and re-ran the SSPL and this time it went to "Loading..." and stayed there. So I reset and forced the boot in to the Tri-Color screen and this time it got past the "Loading..." screen without a problem. I'm definitely a bit puzzled over this but I'm now up and running with a custom ROM again.
Hopefully this might be helpful to others.

I loaded a rom onto my HTC FUZE tonight and when it finished loading, it reset on its own and once it resets, it loads the background gets to the first screen and doesnt load the OS. I have tried soft resetting and hard resetting the phone. hard resetting restores, shows "press VolUp to boot" and resets and instantly loads background. so far nothing seems to work. any ideas?

Just to be 100% clear, did you perform the HardSPL first before trying to load your ROM?

Sounds like he didn't read the instructions fully, add him to the list of idiots.
Also, this thread should be moved to the proper forum.
Hi peteskey,
In order to be able to flash custom ROM's to your device, you must ensure that your device has been HardSPL'ed. Additionally, you may want to look at Security/CID unlocking the device. If these steps were not performed, you will need to flash an official HTC "stock" ROM back to your device - one that is specific to the carrier you are with.
The following thread may serve as assistance if you're just starting out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
That said; in order to properly guide you, members are likely going to need a little more information such as:
ROM your trying to flash
Is the device HardSPL'ed
Is the device unlocked
Flashing via USB or SD-Card
HTH,
My guess is that petesky did one of two things: 1. flashed the wrong hard spl and/or unlocker and bricked his phone. 2. Flashed the proper hard spl, then flashed a rom for another device (a cdma touch pro or a rhodium or something like that). You can recover from #2 (as long as there wasn't a radio in there, too) but there's no prayer of recovery from #1. If it's #2, then just flash a stock rom.
Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC HD2, thing is that the phone it's not booting correctly, all i got when i power on the device, it's an emty white screen... without the green HTC letters.
I got installed a cooked ROM, BsB Beast 6.1, with radio 2.12.50.02_2, and i was running Android from SD when all this **** started, two weeks ago. The phone battery ran out while i was on Android, a couple of hours later... i got home and plugged the phone for charging. When i pressed the power button, the phone boots with that blank screen.
I can get into the bootloader, and it's showing this info (whitout the underscores):
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
_____________0x05
_____________0x30
CotullaHSPL
I've tried many different things and none seems to do anything at all:
- First of all, i did a hard reset. The process ends OK but the phone stays doing the same
- Then, i tried to flash again the same ROM i was using. I was unable to do that by using CustomRUU and PC connection. The phone it's detected by the PC, and the bootloader screen shows that it's conneted by "USB". Then, i executed the CustomRUU app, following all the steps and, when the phone should start flashing the progress bar doesn't get past 0%, both the phone display and PC. After a few minutes, CustomRUU gives an error saying "timeout" connection. I've tried to do this from different USB ports and different PCs with the same result.
- After those fails, i tried to flash again the cooked rom from SDCARD. The process ends OK, saying "Update Complete". Then, i rebooted the phone but the blank screen remains the same way. That cooked ROM doesn't have radio.
- After that, i decided to flash a stock ROM. First, i tried to make a "Task 29" to the phone, but i got the same problem than with the cooked ROM. The progress bar doesn't get past 0%. With the stock ROM the problem was the same again. Then, i tried to flash the stock ROM from SDCARD. The process stops at X% saying 0018003 RADIO - FAIL. I've got this error each time i try to flash a ROM with radio or a radio itself.
- I was able to do a "task 29" by using MTTY, but nothing changes when i try to flash any ROM after that.
- i've tried to upgrade my HSPL, by using both HSPL2 and HSPL3. Both programs detects my version of HSPL, then the process starts and ends saying "Succesfully done" but nothing changes in my bootloader, it's still saying that i got 1.42.HSPL
Since i can get to the bootloader, i hope to have any chance to get this device back to life.
I've readed some posts here and within other forums, i've tried with many different cooked or stock ROMS but nothing works
I hope to find help here, thanks in advance and, sorry if my speaking it's not 100% correct
yet another "i was running android and...........now my phone won't boot".. thread. makes me glad i don't bother with android...tried it once and had to hard reset, never touched it since, heh.
for the sticking at 0%,and timeouts etc, try and always enter bootloader yourself, then wait for serial to become usb, and then run customruu. this way you can also visually confirm hspl is there(or not there, depending what you are doing) and it should cure certainly the timeouts.
if i were you, i'd concentrate on getting back to stock, and start over.(only skimmed your post, i'm mobile, so sorry if i say something you already did.)
get into bootloader, get rid of hspl if it s there,(run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000) then back into bootloader(you should soon get used to holding vol down as each stage completes to reenter bootloader) then try flash your CORRECT stock rom via usb. if that fails try it using the sd card method.
Thanks for answering, samsamuel.
I haven't looked into the Android section for threads with the same problem i got, maybe i should have started that way
Each time I enter the bootloader, i'm doing as you've said (believe me... in these days i've become a "master" on pushing power button with vol. down )
I always wait for the bootloader to finish loading, then i plug the phone to my PC, wait again for "Serial" turns into "USB" and, then, start the flashing process.
I'll try to do what you said with HSPL2, to select 1.66.000. Each time i've tried with different HSPLs, i've selected 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL... so, i guess i should try with that.
I'll be updating this thread as soon as i got news.
/me edit
I must to say, that Android was running "fine" (some minor problems when trying to wake up the phone, but nothing critical apart from this disaster). By the record, i didn't have installed dual boot... the phone always boots into WinMo
Hi again,
I have tried to update my SPL to 1.66.000 without success, despite what HSPL2 says ("Succesfully done")
Any thought about this? I can't understand why those programs are saying "OK" but are doing nothing
thanks in advance
not seen it first hand but have read several threads where the update seems to work but nothing changes. not really sure as to cause or cure, sorry.
I wonder if is there a way to make HSPL2 / HSPL3 to leave traces or any log of what they are doing... in order to see why my phone is ignoring them
Little bump, looking for more help
Is this the right subforum to post this things?
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

(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
