Hey guys...Heres a quick run down of whats happened:
Was upgrading to a new version of a custom ROM using SD method like i normally do. Process stuck at the very end forever (hours), so i soft reset. Now phone won't boot past the splash screen, just hangs there.
I have attempted the method "Phone bricked when writing to the Extended ROM" here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#error
But my problem is I cant use mtty because i have SPL 2.03.
How am I able to downgrade my SPL to 1.04 if I can't boot?
Or any ideas as to how i can get passed this an start clean altogether?
(I have already tried hard reset, no go)
Re-install the ROM using sd card method. If you think it could be a corrupt ROM image file, use a different ROM.
Might Work for you.
I had almost the same thing happen to my phone not but two days ago.
The problem I experience with SPL 2.03 after it bricked was that any new or custom Roms i tried flashing to my phone would error out before even starting the process.
What I did, and it worked for me, was to flash over the oldest original shipped Rom for my carrier. You can find it here.

Load the Rom to your SD card and enter the bootloader. If your lucky it will start the process and finish.
Then as soon as its done, before putting a different Rom on there, use Hard-SPL. Here's the link and walk through for it.

Let me know if it works out for ya.
Hey everybody im charles!
Every time i try to flash a rom to my HD2 i do everything correctly but i get to a screen that says "the update utility can not open the requested file" so should i do or is there a different roms that will support my phone
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08 HSPL 8g XE
COTULLA HSPL 0x05
0x40
Thank you
sounds like you aren't putting the nbh file and customruu into a folder together.
either that, or you aren't extracting the nbh file from its zip, perhaps.
give us some details, especially filenames.
Where can i find some roms, where every thing is connected... dont i open up the rur or do i put everythinng in one file??
hey charles,
u should extract the zip file (or 7z) and then make sure you put ONLY the nbh file and the customRUU in a separate folder. execute the customRUU. many files should appear for a short while. give it a shot.
p.s. you can go for the ENERGY ROM SERIES. it is my favourite ROM! and it never gives me problems while flashing!
cheers!
Flashing stuck on 0%
I've flashed HSPL 3 to my phone successfully about a month and flashed my first ROM, and then my second, and third, and so on with no problems.
A few weeks ago, my phone stopped charging and I assumed it was a hardware issue, so I flashed my phone back to stock through a website that was suggested here on xda-developers with success.
My plan was to ship my phone back in at get it replaced through the warranty but after I flashed back to stock, the phone was charging without a problem. Figuring it was a ROM issue, I wanted to flash a simple compressed ROM and got as far as the point where my phone and computer were both on the percentage screen showing 0%, but that's where it stays. No matter what ROM I try to flash, including ones that worked fine in the past, it stays at 0%.
The only thing I can think of where I may have screwed up, is that when I decided not to send the phone back in and was preparing to flash a new ROM on there, I flashed HSPL3 again, thinking that because it had been flashed with the stock rom, it would flash EVERYTHING back to stock. I'm assuming this is what screwed things up, but I'm a pretty big noobie and could use some help. Any ideas?!
when you flashed back to stock, if you used sd card then it will have removed hspl, meaning flashing hangs at 0%
when you later flashed hspl3 again, did you forget to change the dropdown from 2.08.0000to 2.08.hspl? (very common error)
boot into bootloader, see what it says by "spl".
Well, I flashed back to stock via USB which I later read that it would undo the HSPL3 flash, which is why I wondered why that might be the problem. When I just entered bootloader mode, it says SPL-2.10.0000 not 2.08.0000.
That must have been it. I just reflashed the HSPL3 and this time it through up the we hacked it screen. Don't remember that happening the last few times. I'll try flashing the new rom and see how it works out. Thanks so far! : )
Funny how quickly things can turn from large, seemingly unanswerable, problem to "wow, how could I have possible missed that" in a matter of seconds! THANK YOU!
heh, glad to help. an outsiders view is always the best place to try figure out problems.
When i went to flash the latest update for the Energy ROM it didn't flash properly to my HD2 and now im getting the red,green,blue and white screen and it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-142.HSPL XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0X30
Upgrade ROM code error
please try again
Ive tried reflashing but even though i have it plugged into the USB it wont recognise it, i took out the SD card and SIM card and done a hard resent but then i got some triangular type sign on the phone so took the battery out and put back in, held the button down button and im now back to the screen as like what ive posted about, this has never happened before as any ROM ive flashed has been succesful, ive done a search of the forum and cant come up with anything, can someone be of some assistance here please,cheers.

Hello!
Try this:
Full charge your phone's battery.
Download your stock ROM and install it by MicroSD method - it will erease your HSPL, so you will need to install it again.
Install the HSPL again.
Do a TASK29.
Now redownload your custom ROM and reflash it!

unfortunately when i go to download the stock ROM i downloaded from the HTC website it stays at 0% and then gives me an error message,tried numerous times but no luck, i was able to download HSPL3 though but that hasn't actually made any difference with regard to actually solving my problem,i done another search and tried numerous things but no luck, just have the multicoloured screen as before, have spent hours now, surely there has to be an easier solution to this as no doubt this has happened to a few people before!

flashed htc stock by sd card? if yes, then its because the stock HTC rom isnt your phones stock, and teh first thing it does when flashing from sd is remove hspl, even though the rom itself fails to flash (because hspl is no longer there)
Boot into bootloader, see what spl says.
If it ends .0000 then use hspl2 to re apply hspl,
re-enter bootloader, connect usb, does 'serial' change to 'USB'?
If yes, try running your rom flash again, but do it over usb. (Can use the htc stock rom for this, for simplicity)

Mate, try HSPL3. It will work with your SPL (2.08.0000).
It smells like you have a bad flash, maybe your ROM image corrupt in download or in the transfer process.. It does not change the things, to fix it you have to "erease your NAND".
I told you to flash a stock Rom from SD to see if the error stops. If it stops, then you will have to install HSPL again, because it is ereased each time you flash a stock ROM from SDCard.
Then, the TASK29 process is the more important thing, because it will "erease" your NAND and will prepare the NAND blocks for the new flash.
And the CustomROM flash complete the process.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: Fell free only to install HSPL3 (2nd post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and do a TASK29 (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) before installing again your CustomROM. Those 3 steps are the important ones!
**DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOMROM AGAIN, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A DOWNLOAD CORRUPTION PROBLEM, OK?

right there has been some developments, HSPL3 has done something an the phoe is now turning on and off, so ill try and download the stock ROM now
if spl says 2.08.0000 then you have chosen teh wrong option in hspl3, you should have chosen 2.08.hspl.
.0000 is stock.
You do not need spl 1.42. to apply hspl, that is old info, hspl2 or hspl3 should work fine.

Man, if your phone is turning on and off it could be the uncharged battery.
Try charging your battery for about 1 hour before trying to reflash - do it with the phone turned off.
Again: Use HSPL2 or 3. Select 2.08.HSPL from the menu. And then TASK29..............
Thanks again guys its getting late so ill just leave the phone charging and get back to it after work tomorrow evening, again thanks for your assistance, still not there yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening the problem will be rectified.

Sorted!!
At last i have managed to solve the problem, basically i just extracted a stock ROM onto my micro SD card which was in my laptop,put SD card back in phone,went to bootloader, done the task 29, tried to flash Energy ROM 21911 Aug 1st update but having tried several times it was giving me an error message so last throw of the dice as it were i flashed the other Energy build 23569 and it worked, you;ve no idea how relieved i am i kept thining id have to leave the phone into repair which would cost an arm and a leg but thanks to the good people on here in particular digao100nocao and samsamuel and the search function was useful too i have solved the problem and ill ensure i always do a hard reset any time im flashing again as i believe that was what probably caused the ROM not to flash properly the first time (i never bothered doing a hard reset previously)
Virtual beers to everyone much obliged folks and if i can be of asisstance to anyone myself on here i will.

Good news my friend!
I'm happy that your problem is solved now.
Have a nice week
... 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.
I am a relative noob at flashing roms and rooting phones, but last night I ran into an issue. My phone was having all sorts of problems so I was going to put it back to factory, then start from scratch. I then decided to just flash a different rom. here is what happened.
I deleted SuperSU - this was done as part of the process to unroot and put back to factory, after this step I decided to flash a different rom
Put new ROM on phones internal memory as well as SD card
Wipe data
wipe cache and delvic cache
install new rom
Black screen
In an attempt to unbrick I relocked my bootloader.
Now, my phone can power on (Give white screen and HTC logo), then go black, and I can access Recovery mode. That is all.
I have plugged the phone to my computer and tried running the RUU, but the RUU will not recognize the phone.
I am not sure what to do to unbrick my phone and get it working again. Any and all help would be most appreciated!
Sorry I can't be more eloquent with my words, but I'm at work. I will be responding throughout the day, though.
thanks again so much to anyone that can help!
Try running it straight from bootloader
I loaded into Bootloader, selected Fastboot(USB), ran the .exe and it still won't recognize the phone. However, I did get recovery unlocked again. So I can get into recovery mode, flash all the ROMs I want, mount and unmount, yet still everytime I flash a new ROM it still boots to a black screen. Am I doing this right?
Try a Rom with kernel installer
Thanks! Since I am still a little new could you tell me how I would spot a ROM with kernel installer or could you point me to any one that could work? From then, it's the same process as flashing any other ROM? Do I need to do something with the kernel?
Meanbean and stock with goodies are the 2 that I'm certain of. Meanbean needs to be flashed twice the first time
Thanks so much for your help, I will post my results soon!
Failed
Here's what it says. Sorry for the blurry picture. I followed directions closely.
What version of recovery are you using? You may need to update it. Assuming you have a pc, try mounting the internal memory to pc through twrp. Windows will automatically tell you to format if its damaged
2.1 Updating now
omg it finally worked! Updated TWRP using fastboot and flashed MeanBean. Thank you so much!!!
