[Q] TMobile HD2 won't enter bootloader - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I reboot holding the volume key down and it gets to the multi colored screen but there are no options on it. I'm trying to load a stock rom off the SD card. I also tried loading it through USB but it just hangs at 0% until I get error 262 update error. I have searched for answers but didn't find anything.

tmobile comes with 16gb card as stock, and there are loads of reports of 16gb cards not working for flashing. try a 2gb card for best results.

did you rename your rom to leoimg.nbh?
DN41

oh as for error 262, is that usb timeout? if so, boot into bootloader, connect usb, and then run customruu as administrator

need help recovering my 8525...

i tried to install the latest At&t ROM and i got an error asked me to try and recover it but when i try to recover it it still give me an error message and now my phone is stuck on the bootloader screen it says IPL-1.00 SPL-1.40.Olipro can someone please help me get this out of bootloader mode...i tried reseting it or tried other ROM's but nothing will work....TIA
i can't even get my pc to recongnize that my 8525 is connected to the USB port....
EDIT: I got my PC to see my 8525 by unchecking the USB connections in ActiveSync....
I think this is a crosspost from the HardSPL receovery thread, so I will just answer it here.
Manually put phone in bootloader mode.
Plug into USB
Run RUU to start ROM install
Manaually select your SPL version
Ignore warning in red letters on next screen
Flash away.
(Do not mix up the first two steps - put in bootloader, THEN plug into USB)
If this does not not work, use SD Card flashing method.

I screwed something up, Niki stuck on color bar screen... PLEASE HELP

Well I was trying to upgrade mt niki to 6.1 but apparently I must have missed a step or did something I shouldt have and now I am stuck with the color bar screen. Can anything be done? I am running Vista.
tri-colour = Bootloader
The tri colour screen is the boot loader screen, when you updated, did the progress bar go allll the way to 100%?
If so, its in bootloader, try to flash another rom from you computer,
Also run through what you done to update - What rom also. Did you hard-spl, Uspl or anything like that?
It stopped at 15%. These are the directions I was following:

5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
8. you can now flash the uspl by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. Now you can flash the latest rom update to have spl 1.22 and wm6.1.
ouch, Thats the only problem with sspl,
urmm.
How long did it stay at 15%?
As the device isn't CID unlocked you can only flash official roms...
Find an official rom, in the bootloader connect the USB and see if it will flash. It should do!
fingers crossed..
the only rom I can find for singtel in singapore is an updated one so I am trying that now so far so good, I am at 30%. So if this will get me going again can you offer a little advice or explination as to your last post, how do I go about loading a newer 6.1 rom on my device?
Of course, thats what these forums are for. The singapore rom shouldn't hassle you tooo much if you know your way around Windows mob well enough. Let me know how it goes and i'll help you through..

yeah Windows live messenger, add me [email protected]
sorry to hijack your thread, but I encountered exactly the same thing. The screen is now stuck with 3 colour bands. I tried to flash it with an official rom, but the computer is not connecting with the phone, active sync does not recognise the device, any help!?
this is what I did:
1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
8. running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
Sorry for the non prompt reply
I have been at work alot lately,
sorry for a non prompt reply.
Active sync wont connect to your phone, as its in bootloader mode.
At the tri-colour screen, does you computer beep when you connect it, or try to install drivers?
thanks for replying!
no beep from the computer, when connecting the usb to the phone, the phone changes from "serial" to "usb".
I tried reflashing with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki, it will work, but says fail and will go into recovery mode. It will then complete the "recovery" action and go back to flashing new rom which won't work.......

You need to flash an original ROM from your service provider (phone company).

unknown device in bootloader

My xp doesent recognize usb connection in bootloader, (but Activesync works.. so no cable problems ) 1.16.JUMP och 1.16.0000 have same issue.. (my other htc works in bootloder)
This means I cant upgrade any roms with RUU.. can I upgrade rom by SD card ?
or any other sugestions ?
regards Magnus
You can update through SD card, just use the search button on the forum. Anyway... tried to unplug and replug the usb from the phone after entering bootloader? tried entering the bootloader and then connecting the phone to the pc?
Thank you for your reply!
I have tried every sugestion you menentioned and even more without any luck. also on diffrent xp..
When I tried to upgrade from SD I followed this:
SD 2 gb formated in Nike
renamed nbh file to "NIKEIMG.nbh" File is 110 mb
copied "NIKEIMG.nbh" to root on SD through a cardreader
pressed camera power and soft-reset hardware buttons
at bootloader screen says "loading...."
It hangs here!!
Should I use any special som image or ?
some threads says its possible to upgrade with SD some not..
downloaded the service manual and followed SD upgrade procedure.
I formated SD i PC this time, and bootloader was able to read image.
(http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Niki Service Manual.pdf)
upgraded (fullimage) with SD to bootloader 1.22 but still Unkown USB device in BootLoader mode.

Active Sync Keeps Dropping Out When Updating ROM

Hey guys, as the title suggests....im having trouble
Trying to update my ROM.
Active sync works fine, up to the point I have to run the RUU and .nbh files, it just drops out and then i get the error 266 coming up.....asking me to check the cable etc.
Tried different USB ports and leads with no joy.
Strange one this, as I have updated my ROM before (around a year ago) with no trouble.
Help very much appreciated.
marlon32, ActiveSync has nothing to do with flashing process,
Enter bootloader mode (switch off, press & hold Volume down, switch on), than connect to the USB cable.
The word Serial on tricolor screen will be changed for USB.
Now start RomUpdateUtility....

I have also tried this method, but the nothing happens.
When in bootloader mode and the USB cable connected, it is not able to recognise what Image is already on my phone. Even if i click next it fails again with the error 266 msg.
I thought I understood that active sync had to be established first?
Im following these instructions:
FIRST TIME FLASH
1. Remove SD (and remove Application Data and Program Files folders from it using SD card reader)
2. Remove HSPL with HSPL2_RUN.exe (flash SPL 1.66.0000 with HSPL2_RUN.exe)
3. PowerOff the phone
4. Boot to bootloader (VolDown+PowerOn) and when it shows "USB" flash stock ROM by running matching RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe (get yours HERE or for Orange UK/FR HERE)
5. Hard Reset (when phone starts booting after step 4, remove the battery, insert it back press VolUp+VolDown and still holding both press PowerOn and follow the instructions)
6. Boot to homescreen.
7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v4X RUU_Signed_XXXX.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.
8. Hard reset (instructions in step 5)
9. when on homescreen - softreset.
10. Insert SD

You're going about things in a strange manner, using hspl.exe to set a stock spl and then using sspl to flash the rom? Pretty non standard, what are you aiming for? My guess is you are using outdated instructions from before Hspl4 was released to handle spl/hspl 3.03 (just a guess, of course)
Stabdard flashing a 3.14 rom would go as follows,
Phone into bootloader(forget actuvesync)
Run Hspl4.exe, choose 3.03.hspl
Back into bootloader,
Run the Artemis flash using custom ruu .
Done.
It won't show the current installed image because that is a simple registry entry and is only accessible when winmo is running, but when winmo is running the USB times out when the ruu reboots into bootloader,sim that's why we manually enter bootloader.
(I haven't checked in the Artemis thread as to if there's a reason why his rom wouldn't follow standard proceedures, but I did use exactly your process prior to Hspl4 release)
Thanks for the reply.
What the issue seemed to be (after reading other threads) is that mu laptop is USB 3 and no HTC programme does not like it!
When i used an older laptop everything was fine flashing HSPL 3.03.
Out of interest is it true that USB 3 does not programme correctly?

Semi-bricked phone

Hi guys, my almost 2 year old streak just broke It was completely random too. Right now it gets stuck on dell logo (no rainbow).
UPDATE:
-Flashed stock recovery, no problem, trying to update via update.pkg gives me black screen
-sd card confirmed working
-qualcomm still a no go, but I see no use for it.
UPDATE 2:
-used streakmod, flashed DSC 2.3, followed instruction to the teeth.
-still waiting at dell logo, it's been 5 min T_T
UPDATE 3:
-cut open the plastic and switched external sd with internal sd. Wiped both of them, formatted to fat32, reflashed streamod, DSC 2.3 STILL STUCK WTF IS THIS???
Here's the situation,
1. I can access fastboot mode on phone
2. I can access recovery mode
3. Did a factory reset to no avail, still gets stuck on dell logo
4. Computer does NOT recognize sd card (ie I can't access it). I don't have any card reader so I'm not sure if the microsd is working.
5. Dug around a lot on internet and tried to flash stock rom, couldn't because qualcomm drivers could not be installed.
Errors were either "not intended for this platform" or "missing signature." In the driver section (Driver_2.067), I tried both x64 drivers, AMD and WNET (WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ANYWAYS??), same results. Tried x32 as well, same thing.
6. Can't access streakdroid ( is it down for good?)
Thank you very much for any help.:laugh:
