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 ?

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.

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!

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.

Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...

ok it worked but I have another problem.
Many times when I reset or turn on the phone, it gets stuck in start and does not load windows, I have to hard reset the device.
What is this problem?
You either need to install a stock ROM before re-installing the ROM you want or you need to check for bad blocks using MTTY.
Do a search to find out about bad blocks...

anyone have any suggestions

Right, looking at the ROM sheharyar was using, its a big storage ROM. You need to install a stock rom first, preferably stripped of the radio rom, and go through the complete setup. It seems to stabilize the memory. You can then re-install the big storage ROM. It should now be stable.
If you need to install Hard SPL then go to page 116, post 1160 of the" Hard SPL or how not to brick your Hermes" thread. It gives you instruction on how to install via the sd card method.
After installing Hard SPL you can use the sd card method to install roms. Just drop the steps using sspl.exe. Also use a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32. Watch the spelling of hermimg.nbh as it won't work with mistakes.
Also make sure you have good battery level.
Happy flashing...
My phone's boot loader says SPL 1.42.0000XE. I have not upgraded to any custom rom since I bought the phone in Feb this year.
I decided to do a hard reset since the screen was frozen and soft reset did no good.
Hard reset was successful, but after that it landed on white screen and would not proceed.
I read some articles and downloaded a stock rom RUU_signed_0409.nbh from one of the links. I even copied it to the 8gb sd card that came with my phone. It does say that it is formatted as FAT 32. I renamed the file as leoimg.nbh, reset the phone and pressed the vol down key.
Now it shows the boot loader screen, then says "loading..." forever.
Please help! - By the way, I could never find a WWE version of 1.42.0000 SPL link to download.
i've got the same prob right now.
~ updated my phone with HSPL3 < all went well and finished OK
Phone is rebooting and working
~ now I want to try a different ROM and while installing it via
Active Sync it's giving an USB Error or this LOADING...
When trying to put the new ROM onto the SD Card with leoimg.nbh
it starts with LOADING...
....
I can reboot via removing battery and after that the phone boots up normal.
It's also working. But i can't do any flashes anymore.

Yes; using the right stock ROM (the one from your aria)
or using GoldCard technique.
Put the HD2 into bootloader and then connect via usb. Run the flash file. This will only work if you are using a rom that your carrier supports as you have said you don't have HSPL...
have you solved the problem?
I cant solve this problem either, i´ve been looking for information on the internet the whole day.
Yesterday, i tried to flash my htc hd2 following a tutorial, and I used HSPL3(although I dont know if it really work, because my htc still says 2.08.0000 without the hspl, can somebody clarify this for me, please?), and after that I tried MTTY(Here starts my problem) just as the tutorial says, and then my htc restart, so I tried to flash it via the MicroSD card, but it stays stuck on a white screen which says "loading...", after that I tried to turn it up without the bootloader, but it stayed stuck on the logo screen.
Could somebody please help me???
I would really appreciate it.

Two things I have learn;
If you install stock ROM over SD it will remove your HSPL.
And if you see 2.08.0000 spl on your bootscreen than the installation of HSPL was unsuccessful.
OMG...!
Thanks for the reply...
Soo what do you think i can do?

Hi,
Did you manage to fix the issue? Is your phone a branded one? The best way to go about is to find the stock ROM for your device and then flash it using the SD card method. This will update your ROM and SLP to stock. From there, you should be able to install HSPL and any custom ROMs.

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!!

****.... tough luck mate....
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
bought it off ebay..so cant really take it to my provider..the phone is over (just) a year old so probably not in htc warranty? how do i check?
i will donate money to anyones paypal account if they can help fix this
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..
gonna swap this phone for the galaxy s... good swap?
So u managed to save ur HD2 and now u wanna swap it?
keep HD2. Its great, and so many possibilities. U must know what ur doing, tho (kindof)

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.

never ever getting a winmo phone again ..had 3.. all fiddley beyond belief...
I CANNOT believe this is a dead end . . as far as i have learnt from any "radio bricked" posts I have come across.
I am not a techie to start with but what could possibly be an unrecoverable damage unless the wrong radio flash impaired some hardware in the phone? This post, I hope, will also serve as an appeal to all the tech gurus out there saying "here's your nemesis . . radio brick"
I have an HD2 originally WWE ROM and then I decided to flash Dutty's after a radio (2.15) flash.
Then I was also able to run Android. Every thing was fine except for battery drain in Android so I said to myself "lets go back to winmo for a while".
aa aa . . not yet . .winmo was fine too except for some symptoms like sound failure, time sync failure, occasional hangs and so on which were fixed after a soft reset / restart.
Then .. one fine day (3 weeks from flash date) I woke up to a frozen phone. I tried restart/reset (soft and hard) nothing worked. I was always stuck in the white screen. I was still able to go to bootloader though.
Now the discovery of the nemesis. Tried the following proposed solutions
1. Flash Ship ROM from PC - The flashing would start and stay at 0% - ERROR 272 - Failed Connection - Recovery did not work either
2. Flash Ship Radio - Same error
3. SD card Flash ROM - Completed but the phone would go beyond the white screen
4. SD card flash Radio - Getting the infamous "Radio - Error" Update failed. Update terminated
5. Goldcard - Unfortunately I cannot even try it since the CID of the SD card can only be obtained via communication with my phone.
Now for the big question:
Whats going on???
Can I just wipe everything from my phone and start from scratch? like from command line so to speak . .?
This cannot be unless the phone can never ever be reused without changing a faulty hardware
Update: Solution
I had to delete this section since the information provided here was incorrect .. sorry . . still no solution
i am no expert..but just a suggestion
since you can enter bootloader...can i assume u have HSPL2?
if yes, you might want to do a Task 29.
then reflash a new rom.
dutty rom works fine with 2.15 radio
good luck
I see it's your first post here, you have to read very carefully and know what you are doing before flashing your device.
If you flashed your stock ROM thru SDCard method (a stock ROM is device specific), then your device should be in original state: stock SPL, stock Radio, stock BootScreen and stock OS (the 4 parts of a ROM).
So if it doesn't go beyond the white screen after that, you probably could send it back for repairs (if warrenty is not due).
But if you can enter the Bootloader, it's probably not bricked.

sadly not quite correct. there are a few dozen references to the infamous radio update brick, where flashing seems to work, hspl'ing seems to work, but after restart nothing has changed.
The only suggestion i have to offer is finding another winmo phone (or pc/laptop sd card reader that is pci not usb based) and using that to create the goldcard, though even there i suspect it may not help.
If u can enter boodloader, make sure you see it's connected and see: USB at the bottom white part.
If this is what you see, i would set the stock rom back so everyrthing is back to normal.
Then read these forums good before you proceed.
Succes
Same thing happened to my phone, nothing will fix this, flashing a stock rom gives an error msg half way through , flashing custom rom also gives error. Factory reset, after resetting it gets stuck on htc screen.
weird, my radio is not working too, happened few days ago...
You could always try and remove the SD Card and then switch on into Bootloader Mode. Connect to the computer. Then run a Stock/branded ROM from HTC's website with your phone's serial number (this should at least guarentee that you are downloading the correct ROM).

It's a prototype, notice the SPL 0.64
Flash stock rom back and then Radio 2.x
This way you can flash newer roms.
Notice you won't be able to install Android or WP7 cause of Prototype having diffrent hardware!
