right guys, i know i may be asking for something that has already been covered on another post somewhere on xda-dev, but i am in need of help in getting my stock HD2 upto speed so that i can use a bootloader to get froyo running.
one thing i must point out before hand is that i also use my HD2 as a wifi hotspot, so if anything goes wrong im f*cked in terms of downloading something else to fix a problem after ive flashed so i am desperately in need of an itemised list of how to go about this to minimise possible ****ups. this phone is still only 1/4 the way through the contract also.
my software versions are...
OS 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manilla 2.5.20121429.0
ROM 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
Radio 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol Version 15.32.50.07U
any help would be greatly apreciated.
i managed to get a copy of some android build onto my mSD card but haret didnt get past the lines on the screen which then fade to black (which i believe is a ROM related issue)
You need to flash a new radio, use search and you'll be on your way
does it have to be any specific radio? also can this procedure brick my device if certain precautions arent taken?
Try a. 50 variant, they're the most reliable,try 2.12.50... most seem to get along fine with that on android. Just make sure you read the flashing guides thoroughly in the HD2 ROM DEVELOPMENT thread and all should be fine, all the info is in there, if you're unsure, read again, after one or two flashes it becomes second nature, did for me anyway.
You need hspl too, again in the rom development section, happy androiding!

Hey, I'm a long time spyer on these forums and am in a lot of trouble. I just got my Bell PPC-6800 replaced (bad keyboard), and absolutely been unable to put a custom ROM on the device. I have tried pretty much everything, using Titan Unlocker, Hard SPL, kitchens and generic ROMs, and the ONLY thing I can get working is the stock ROM again. I had no issues at all when doing the upgrade the first time with my original phone, but with this one I can't get it working.
Right now, it sticks at the Bell blue logo screen and in red where it normally has the version info it says "NO RADIO".
Please any help would be much appreciated!
im assuming you didnt miss the obvous step of flashing a compatible radio rom in addition to the roms you mentioned, right?
if not, see the sticky at the top of the forum.
Yes, I am a huge moron. I read through that exact sticky 2 or 3 times and just assumed that I did the radio flash.
Working now, thanks a lot for the help lol ... maybe I'll stick with spying
Howdy all,
I've ordered a HTC HD2 from the UK and it's on the way to my location in Australia. Now, I was wondering if you could help me out here, as I've actually burnt some midnight oil (ie. stayed up way past my bed time) reading a handful of threads of flashing new ROMs and whatnot.
Note that when I say it's on it's way, I *don't* have the phone yet.
Here's my roadmap:
Check SPL -> HardSPL -> Custom ROM Flash -> Install Android -> Use Android -> ??? -> PROFIT
I have downloaded HardSPL, a custom ROM called "OzDroidROM" mainly because it was built by an Australian cooker , and MeeJay's Froyo Sense Clean Android build.
The first thing I'll do when I get the device is to flash HardSPL. In order to do that, what stock ROM do I need to have an SPL that will allow me to flash that? I did read that SPL 1.42.0000 is required in order to flash HardSPL, what stock ROM features that SPL? I'm asking this because I might have older version of the SPL when I get my HD2.
Secondly, I see some custom ROMs have filenames of RUU_Signed.nbh. Does this mean that I can just copy to MicroSD Card, boot HD2 into SPL and flash away, or do I need a Gold Card? (I'm making a gold card as I speak).
I prefer not to use RUU update tools (because they have issues on Windows 7 x64) and also, my work computers are not Windows (I use an eMac and my laptop runs Linux). Last time I used a RUU Updater, I almost bricked my HTC Snap.
Thirdly, how is android battery life on the HD2? Does the battery drain like there's no tomorrow or is Android on the HD2 stable enough to just 'sip' the battery, and guzzle the battery when under heavy load?
Lastly, how do you flash the Radio? Do you download the Radio ROM, name it leoimg.nbh, pop it onto MicroSD, boot into SPL and flash from there? What is the best radio for WinMo and Android use?
Thanks for clearing this up. My head is spinning with this all these forum threads, some info contradict itself, etc etc.
Cheers,

Hi,
I have searched for soemone that has had the same ROM as me and to no avail. In order to install a new ROM I need to use the right 'extraction kit'. It seems none of them are for the ROM starting with 1.43? Am I being daft or should I just stop looking and figuring it out now?
I bought a T-Mobile phone, had it unlocked yesterday. It still has all the T-Mobile settings on and I can't put the Vodafone settings on. I have been 'playing this game' for many years now, I have bought the Bepe ROM a bumber of times for different devices; excellant stuff. I want to do the same again.
Please could someone point me in the right direction please - For Clarification:
"Which HSPL Package should I use?"
Or if there is none - "How to change the settings on a phone that does not let you?"
Thank-you in advance,
Will
Has no-one ever had this ROM? I cannot possibly be the only one?! Don't answer this - But do you think I will brick my phone by using a 1.42 ROM HSPL Package de-rommer?
Will
For HD2, if I remember correctly, there is no ROM dump solution.
Check here if you find your stock ROM (thought I had seen it there) to have it as a fallback solution.
To install any other ROM than the T-Mob stock ROM on your HD2, just use HSPL4.exe to install HSPL 2.08 on your phone, and flash via USB or SD card.
You can actually find all you need in the stickies.
Thanks you confirmed what I thought. I have found the Stock ROM. I've tried the HPSL4, no joy!
Thank-you,
Will
Did you try HSPL2.exe? This should definitely work if there should be issues with HSPL4.exe.
your a genius - thank-you....
Will
SOLVED
To anyone reading this;
What I have learnt is as follows:
- It seems that you run a HSPL PKG whether it is 1,2,3,4, or 5, and you will not brick your phone - ( I am not guaranteeing this - but going on my own experience).
- I was advised by experts that had gone through the process, the wrong HSPLs. This is NOT their fault, but it appears your phone is very unique.
- All you need to do is trial and error.
- You will be asked when running the HSPL which ROM version you are installing - make sure you have read the thread of the ROM you are installing very well. (Even have it open to run through it when run HSPL.
- Once you have 'cracked' your Stock ROM, then it seems that you can then run the correct HSPL PKG for the particular ROM you want.......
I hope this helps and you have learnt from my research.....
Take Care,
Will

Any one click apps to update radio on stock roms?
You have to understand what you are doing. Otherwise you can get in trouble.
So you have to read...
Oh, and this is the wrong forum by the way!
This is the right one for you question.
there is no shorten click and run guide for radio update? no way run android/haret without update the radio?
As I said: This is the wrong Subforum for you question!
Download official stock ROM 3.14 from the HTC website, it should be available for all carriers. This will give you a good enough radio.
Sorry to post if this is inapropriate thread but just thought id chip in with my experience of this issue...There are two solutions i have come across for being stuck at the "jumping to kernel" issue
1. Reeboot phone into WM...as soon as hd2 boots, go straight to the android folder and again boot to android using the haret method (main point to note is to do this as soon as WM boots..ie; do nothing else in wm. Just go straight to file xplorer then android...This works for me every time.
2. Put hd2 into 'Airplane Mode' (in WM) the try booting to android via the haret method.
This has worked for me in the past but not sure if is 100% failsafe However method 1 always works...for me anyway
Another thing to note is you should give it enough time for the build to create when you get to the green htc logo (after jumping to kernel) if this is your first install..In fact you may want to start fresh by a new re-formatt of sd card and fresh android install. Just incase anytjing has been messed up when you were stuck @ JTK as i assume you would have pulled the battery, which may have disturbed an image being built
This is dev section, not Q&A/General.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..

Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
