can't flash any more!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I've got in a bit of an issue with flashing my Leo. It's a Easter Europe one and after flashing it with the nonEE version i cannot flash anymore.
Every time i'm trying to flash it it goes to SPL screen and does not go to the actual flashing. I connect it to the USB sync it using active sync, everything is fine, it sees the ROM version, it says it starts to flash but it just goes to the rgb spl screen and it stays there then it gives an error about loosing connection through the USB.
It happends also with SD card flashing using leoimg.nbh and resetting it with the volume down button pressed.
Everything worked fine untill i've started flashing various Rm builds, Duttys N4S Legacy Cont. (V3) 5.2.23139 [WWE], ▒ kwbr HD2 ROM :: wm6.5 (23139) :: Sense 2.5 ▒, Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23139) ROM :: V 23 », ۞ Elegancia - Miri & Steveooo7 HD2 WM6.5.X :: V 5.0 :: (23138) ۞ and the newest official ROM from HTC which i'm stucked with since i cannot flash a new ROM anymore.
My current config is:
OS 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manilla 2.5.20181527.0
ROM 3.14.405.2(04666) WWE
Radio 2.15.50.14
it's an Easter European Leo with originally 448MB but after flashing one of the custom ROMs i've noticed it has 576MB RAM now.
is there any way to force my Leo to flash the WWE Estern Europe official ROM?
and one more tiny question: is there a way to customize the ROM? i don't need tweeter, facebook, marketplace and ****, but i need a document viewer tab. None of the custom ROM that i tried are made the way like it and i have no experience with cooking ROMs. Or at least be able to uninstall stuff that comes with the ROM?
Thank you

Audio problem after flashing to WM6.5

Hi guys, could u help me out with this. Yesterday tried flashing my HTC Touch Dual from WM6.1 to WM6.5. Everything went on quite smoothly except when finished, had some audio problems.
Upon loading the audio is fine but after initiating a call (either incoming or outgoing) the audio disappears altogether. A soft reset or restart would make it come back again but the problem repeats after a call is made or received.
FYI, these are the steps i followed for the WM6.5 upgrade:
(Using a Dell Latitude D630 on WinXP, connected via USB cable)

Try another radio, and the best way to update the radio is by flashing the original rom, I suggest to use radio 1.65.29.22 that radio come with the original wwe 2.16 rom which you can find here.
It is possible to update the radio only, but your problem could still be there so to be sure flash the original rom and see if you have a problem then if not then flash the cooked rom.
FYI If you want to use a 1.71... radio you have to downgrade your radio to a 1.58.. version and then it's working.
Greetz,
Sorry i'm still a noob in this. Correct me if i'm wrong, what ur saying is i have to:
1) Flash back to the original ROM as per link above
2) Test audio issue
3) Flash cooked ROM
4) Downgrade to radio 1.58
5) Upgrade to radio 1.71
Is the above the correct way?
Thanks

Small correction, only do step 1, 2 and 3 and see if your problem is fixed.
Greetz,
Thanks, so far step 1 & 2 is fine. Any suggestions of good cooked ROMs? Seems to be quite aplenty in this forum

It depends on what you want, if you want a lite version or a full version, you want it in English or another language just search and try out for yourself, this is something where I can't help you, it is just personal.
Greetz,
Thanks. Whats the diff between a full n lite version?
leadaxer said:

The diff between lite and full is that in a lite rom there is a minimal of programs added, so you can add your own programs, and full there are a lot of programs already cooked in the rom.
Hi,
Did it work? I have quite simular issues, but no sound at all and for me the recovery of the original rom did not do the job
thnx

Worked for me aswell :> tnx alot !

[Q] Spontanoius reboots`, HSPL problem?

Hi,
My leo device has HSPL3 (SPL.2.08.HSPL) and i've tried to flash it several times for testing roms.
I always had a success full ROM flash, but after a few flashes it started to reboot at random times, even in standby modes.
The radio verision was 2.12.50.2_22, Worked fine with all my ROMs.
I've flashed several roms after the reboot problem, but it still just reboots with other roms, even the official roms with the latest patches.
I've tried,
Energy ROMs
CleanEX roms
Artemis Swedish
v 1.66 from HTC website.
What can the problem be?
Hi, same problem, hspl2 for me, 1.66 on my 1st hd2, go to repair and now it have a new motherboard.
stock rom for a while, to see there is no problem, so hspl2 2.08 and at 1st reboot freeze on startup, and now reboot in standby mode(i didn't flash rom yet)
if you have flashed several different roms, it could simply be that it is in need of formatting. Look up task29, run it, this will wipe your phones ROM memory space, then boot into bootloader and flash a new rom.
If it doesnt help, then its a hardware issue, and you should remove hspl, return everything to stock and send it for repair.

[Q] Please Help a Dying HD2

Hello everyone, hopefully you can help me figure out what's wrong with my HD2.
.:BACKGROUND INFO:.
I bought a used TMoUS HD2 a couple months ago and it was working fine up until last month. At first, it would freeze and I would have to do a battery pull, but as time went on, it froze more and more often. One day, I think it froze around 20 times in a row. Eventually, I let the phone sit without the battery for a few minutes before I tried booting it again. When it did boot, I figured maybe there's something wrong with the software, so I did a hard reset. After the hard reset, the phone will boot into the desktop and then freeze (If I'm lucky) or sometimes it will just freeze on the T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen. I tried flashing a the stock ROM and it would always stop at 8%.
I've always used the stock ROM since I got the phone, not sure if the previous owner flashed it before, but it does have HSPL 2.08. The only thing I've done to the phone are the registry tweaks I got from these forums. Here's a list of applications I installed to my HD2:
Chainfire 3D Driver Update
Co0kie's Home Tab
appelflap HTCRamDisk
ATT WAP MEdiaNet and MMS Settings
Band Switch V2.8 Auto Disconnect Data
Battery Increment Display 1.66 ROMs
CleanRAM
ClearTemp v1.3.1
GoogleMaps
JayVee Disable Clock Flip
Long Press Send Key Alt Tab
RAMDisk Opera Cache
TCPMP v2 Video Audio Player
TX Opera Mobile 10 Flash Support
WM Long Life 0.66. 0302
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but the last thing I remember installing was Co0kie's Home Tab before the freezing started.
.:HD2 SPECS:.
OS Version: 5.2.21892 [21892.5.0.89]
Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2
Rom Version: 2.13.531.1 [90963] WWE
Rom Date: 04.28.10
Radio Version: 2.10.50.26
Protocol Version: 15.39.50.07W
.:THINGS I'VE TRIED:.
Flashing a Custom ROM via USB will stop randomly at different percentages depending on which ROM I flash. I've tried a few different ones.
Flashing the stock ROM
(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via USB always stop at 8%.
Flashing the stock ROM
(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via SD card will give me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail). I've attached a picture of this error.
Since flashing the stock ROM via SD Card gives me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail), I decided to flash a new Radio (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14), but it gives me the same error. (I've also attached a picture of this error) I haven't tried other ones because I'm not exactly sure which ones to try and I don't want to brick my phone...if it isn't already bricked yet.
Can anyone suggest some Radio that's safe for me to try flashing for my TMoUS HD2? I'm really out of ideas on what to do besides that, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
***EDIT 1*** (01.21.11) - Tried Task29, went all the way to 100% but the phone fails to reboot. Flashing a ROM after Task29 doesn't work Also added a picture of the bootloader screen.
***EDIT 2*** (01.21.11) - Added a list of radio and ROMs I've tried flashing in post #9.
You can flash any radio with .50. in the name.......
NEVER flash a .51. these will brick your phone.
However this doesnt sound like a radio problem. The only thing I can think to suggest is to read up on "Task 29" this will completely format your device memory and should allow you to reflash a new ROM.
Best of luck........
Thanks for your reply, Conantroutman! I just tried Task29 and it was stuck at 58% the first time, and the second time it completed all the way to 100% (With a success message from my PC) but my HD2's screen just goes black instead of rebooting. After a battery pull, I tried installing the stock ROM and the same thing still happens. It stops in the middle of updating and says there's a communication error.
Any thoughts?
Sorry, the only thing left to suggest is to try the whole process again on another PC. Also try uninstalling active sync / wmdc from your PC and trying again.
Chipped From The Bunker Via A Sandwedge
No need to be sorry I really do appreciate the help! Would upgrading/downgrading the HSPL do anything?
If it stops working using the pc then try using the sd card method.
Do a search for hd2 sd card flashing and you should find out how...
Might be more lucky without the pc in the mix, especially if there are communication errors involved...
Cheers...

I've actually done that as well. The flash also fails but at least it gives me an error (which I've posted a screenshot of in my first post). Not that I know what it means though Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me decipher it.
Just a question, did you changed previously your radio? If yes to witch one?

I've been reading up on how to flash stuff since I got the phone last year, but I never tried to flash anything until the beginning of this week. I'm not sure if the previous owner did though.
These are the radio I've tried this morning:
-2.10.50.26
-2.11.50.20
-2.11.50.26
-2.12.50.02.2
-2.14.50.04
-2.15.50.14
I used the SD card method to flash all the radios above. Some of the radios failed before the progress bar finished, but some actually went all the way. The phone doesn't reboot itself after it finishes though, so I have to do a battery pull. It doesn't seem to make a difference since I still can't flash any ROMs after I flash the radio.
And these are the ROMs I've tried to flash:
-CR192 Desire HD v6.5.3.0.9 Beta
-RUU Leo 1 5 TMOUS 2.10.531.1 Radio Signed 15.34.50.07U 2.08.50.08 2 Ship
-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 2.13.531.1 Radio 15.39.50.07U 2.10.50.26 Signed LEO Ship
-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 3.14.531.1 Radio Signed 15.42.50.11U 2.15.50.14 2 Ship
After leaving the battery out of the phone for a day, I tried Task29 again and managed to complete it (all the way to 100% and a proper restart) without freezing. So then I tried flashing a stock rom, but that stopped at around 8%. When I go into bootloader now, it seems that my HSPL has been removed and I'm reverted back to regular SPL.
If I decide to use Task29 again or flash a stock rom, do I need to install HSPL? Should I install HSPL first or just leave it alone and flash normally?

Yes, install the right HSPL first. Then, do task 29, then you install the correct radio, lastly you can install custom rom.
Good luck

Thanks Silverwind, I'm using HSPL3 to install HSPL 2.08, but it always fails. I can install regular SPL 2.08 perfectly fine though. I'll leave the battery out for a day and try again to see if it makes any difference.

t-mobile branded HD2 - Germany

hi, i bought today on internet this t-mobile branded HD2....1st thing to do was to install an official but English fw (the branded one is in German)...spl 3.0 and last fw sometimes hangs on htc boot screen and vibrates 7 times ... switched back to stock (branded), works great .... any hint ? thanks !
How you switched to WWE version? HSPL or gold card method?
Which WWE version? 3.14 or an older one?
Why do you want to switch to a non branded WM version? Because of YouTube player?
Why not switching to a custom ROM?
HSPL and yes, it's 3.14 - i am not so into custom roms .... stock is fine for me ... and i think it's a hardware problem, has nothing to do with stock/custom anyways :-(
You can try to do a Task29 before flashing again.
If you enter boot screen, is there HX or SS next to PB81100? This means Hynix or Samsung memory chipset.
i have no idea what Task29 is i have to google it ...
at the boot screen i have:
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP LED 0x05
MicroP Touch 0x50
i am downloading the Artemis Rom (in your signature)....a quick tip to do the Task29 ?
Dankö !
nevermind i did the tak29 thing, and m ready to install the custom rom....ill get bck with details, thanks again
Task29 is something like format for hard disk drives.
Samsung chipsets are known to cause problems because of bad blocks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11070430#post11070430
For doing a Task29 and flashing Artemis you can use LeoAdvancedRUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917807
Be sure to run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator.
EDIT: For using LeoAdvancedRUU (Task28, Task29 or Task32) you have to install HSPL3.03 again by using HSPL4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433

Before you install Artemis ROM you have to install T-Mobile ROM 3.14, because after Task29 you have a clean HD2 without anything and Artemis does not include RADIO or other needed system files.
Could be SPL version to WWE ROM are not matched.
Hopefully a Task29 & fresh install will do the trick.
Artemis ROMs are popular & also NRG ROMs are very good on the HD2.
More standard variant Custom ROM (NRG has several) can be used if that's what you prefer, from my experience the custom ROMs are far better than any standard build & we use custom 6.5.3 on all HD2s issued to staff as far more stable & better UI results in IT staff & user having better time ...
i will try, i am on hspl 3.03 - did the task29 step and now installing the stock rom (wwe)...i will than install Artemis...but i am almost sure that it's a hardware issue :-((
edit: nope, is not working / first boot after reflash hang at the HTC Boot screen and vibrates 7 times in a row :-(
Can you please correct me if i am wrong:
1. HSPL 3.03
2. Task29
3. WWW Stock Rom RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

This a TMOUS version ? red & green end/pickup keys & 1GB ROM ...
You now on artmesis after procedure above !
If so I would try an NRG ROM & 2.08HSPL & see what result you get.
Use hardSPL4.0 to install HSPL2.08 & once complete install NRG ROM of your choice without task 29 ... not a big fan of task29, tends to get over used.
See what result you get !?

1. i install the stock rom using LeoAdvancedRUU
2. install it again over SD (to get back to stock SPL)
3. install HSPL2.08
4. NRG Rom
on it right away ! thanks, i'll get back with let's hope good news !
Hope so but vibrations at boot do sound hardware fault, probably mainboard.
maybe lucky on 2.08HSPL ! certainly worth trying before getting tools out ...
well, it did boot but after couple of minutes of moving around the menus, it hangs ....so hardware, damn..i guess i have to send it to HTC ... thanks anyways for your help
pls, don't close yet this thread, might be someone around with the same issue and might help ... thanks !
Could be CPU BGA issue, try fridge test: put in in sealed clear bag & put in fridge for 1hr then take it out & use it a bit, maybe run a video or something & see if it last much longer before failing (can also put back in fridge with video running & check it every 5>10minutes to see how it doing)
If runs for longer or without freezing then you probably got CPU BGA failure when board reaches certain temps.
If makes no difference & problem persists the same then maybe bad memory, either way new board I expect ... :-/
it seems that it runs better with th NRG rom ... so i am pretty sure it hangs when overheated...i will try to freeze the freak thanks
INCREDIBLE: the only ROM that runs without any problem is the one that came with...the default ROM ...
RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
Id double check you are correctly setting spl/hspl,,, a 3.14 rom on, for example, 1.66.hspl (the hspl that the hspl2.exe would offer you by default if you run it with 1.72 rom installed,) or indeed anything other than 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl, will run badly. You then flash back to stock, spl matches again, phone runs fine.
not saying it isn't something else, but it's worth checking.
3.03.HSPL with RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship - works great so far ....

[Q] Virgin Network Latest Firmware Needed

Hi,
Does anyone have the latest firmware for the HTC HD2 on Virgin network. Ive suffered extremely slow and lots of other headachey behaviour from this phone for a number of years and im so fed up of it now.
Please let me know or point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Do not use virgin software, flash HSPL 2.08 & use a quality custom WM6.5 ROM as in the HD2 Wiki : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROM_Development

Save anything from current device you want such as contacts, sms etc (spb backup , pim backup)
charge battery 100%, connect to usb to pc/notebook with activesync or WMDC (download links in hd2 wiki)
run hardSPL4 and install hspl2.08
once complete run the rom flasher & install rom
finally flash radio rom.
before using custom rom seriously you are best doing hard reset as helps reduce likihood of glitches.
Just be sure use decent usb cable & leave all alone while flashing & don't run other stuff on PC just to be safe ...
Heres a link for flashing guide, Section 2 relates to WM flashing
