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..

So u managed to save ur HD2 and now u wanna swap it?

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.

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...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
Hi, my phone was working just fine (i had Miri's HD2 v 19.0 and i think a 2.10 radio). Anyway, I also have a version of Android on my phone that didnt work right (the person on the other end had that robot voice). So I was told that to fix this problem I needed to change around the different ROMs to fix the Android problem. So tonight I flashed the stock ROM back on there (because I read that it's not good to go from cooked ROM to cooked ROM). It completed then just shut off. Nothing. All black screen with not even the light on top working. I just read through the thread below, and the battery is out right now and will stay out for a couple hours then i'll try to put it back in because it seemed to work for that guy. Any other suggestions? Thank you soooo much in advance for any help.
If I cant get it to work at all, it is still under warranty and I have insurance. (When you send your phone in and its under warranty, they send out a phone to you first, then when you get the phone, you send the defective phone back). So I could do that. But since it wont start I wont be able to get HSPL off of there before sending it back. Is everyone 100% sure that HSPL voids your warranty? If so, should I like break the screen or do some other damage to the phone before sending it in?
you havent yet mentioned what model hd2 it is and what stock rom you flashed, and whether you used usb or sd card to flash it, or which version of hspl it was, nothing of any use diagnostically
Its a T-Mobile phone, i used hspl 3 and i flashed through usb. The ROM that I tried to install was "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship"
I hope this is what you need.
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!

I think I may have bricked my OG HD2 (T8585) while trying to undo everything I had done to it, which was HSPL, MAGLDR and a NAND Android ROM.
It all started when I first tried to flash Kingdom's Sense 3.0 Gingerbread ROM. It told me to create a 340MB partition using HD2 Toolkit which I did. I then flashed the ROM as per the instructions, but it kept getting stuck on the boot logo so I decided to go back all the way to stock WinMo.
I downloaded a stock 1.66 ROM from HTC's website, tried to flash it via USB which failed because I obviously have no ActiveSync in Android. So I loaded the image onto my SD card and tried to flash by holding Vol Down and Power.
That was the first sign of trouble, about 1/10th during upgrade process it gave me some errors and rebooted to a black screen with a silver warning triangle.
Trying to go back into bootloader, I got the message about "upgrade ROM code error."
Since it had reverted back to SPL 1.42 I tried to reflash HSPL2 through USB, which worked fine, got the "We bricked it " message and everything. But then I tried to install MAGLDR and nothing, it fails even though it recognizes the USB connection.
So what can I do? On the one hand my device can accept and load HSPL2 and my computer is recogonizing the USB connection, but other than that nothing, it won't even turn on without being connected to external or USB power.
I also tried installing stock 1.43 ROM and that goes fine, it gives me an okay on everything but it gets stuck in the white HTC bootscreen in a loop.
I know I probably made a huge glaring mistaking to cause this, it's probably because I've bought a Transformer tablet and a Galaxy S2 in the last month so the steps regarding the HD2 were probably a bit of a blur. I guess the stock ROM probably included a radio that I wasn't supposed to flash, causing my device to be bricked.
But is there anyway I can get some type of OS working on this poor HD2 now?
She lives!!!
Okay, I'm not actually sure if the problem is solved but I'm back in WinMo 6.5 for the time being.
Since it had been off for a few hours I tried my luck again, plugged it into the wall and saw that it was stuck in the boot loop again. But I got distracted and left it, and when I came back it was on the orange WinMo setup screen.
Not sure what happened to make it go from not even getting power from the battery to working normally. But I see now my radio version is 2.05 which is massively old, I'm going to try and upgrade that first and see... hopefully it won't go back to being dead the moment I power down.

I had pretty much the same problem as you, but mine is the tmobile us version. I tried flashing back winmo from android via sdcard method but i got an upgrade error. I tried flashing with microSD card sizes 8gb, 16,gb, and then 2gb which was recommended, but still no luck. I managed to connect the hd2 through usb on the tricolor screen and flashed back to hspl2.08 and magldr and cwm were still on. But i would like to still get back to winmo stock as if it came from tmobile.
My question is if i download the latest update from tmobile which is T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), what is the correct spl i should have installed on the hd2 so that htc and tmobile wont know that i messed with the spl? is it 3.03? I was going to connect via USB on the tri color screen again, run the EXE and manually install the SPL? I just need to know which SPL to install after i run the latest winmo update. Please advise on the SPL and the method i'm going to take on reverting back to winmo. Thanks.

So it sounds like you lucked out, huh? So your HD2 works at least? I believe if you succesfully flash an official ROM like from T-Mobile, it will replace everything including the SPL back to stock - this is what I was trying to do by flashing official 1.43, to go back to factory mode.
I seem to be worse off than you though. I posted last night how my HD2 was back up running WinMo, but as suspected the moment I rebooted it was back stuck in the boot loop.
Any ideas? I wish I could get the HD2 working again so I could set it aside and get to playing with my new Galaxy S2.
This is driving me crazy now...
I managed to flash HSPL 2.08, and then MAGLDR 1.3, and then CWM recovery on top.
But this still seems bricked to me, still needs external power to turn on and I can't actually flash a working ROM... flashing a ROM via USB gives connection error and flashing via SD card goes fine but gets stuck in a boot loop.
What can I do at this point short of tossing the phone? I've tried stock 1.48, stock 1.66, a bunch of radios from 2.05 to 2.15... everything.
I am doing some research but the only results I find are T-Mo HD2s being bricked by the wrong radio. I have an original HD2 and I never flashed a radio intended for another HD2 model, so how is my phone so bricked all of a sudden?
All the threads I've found say if you can get into the bootloader then there's some hope but I doubt it because I can't successfully flash anything with it. I don't even know how I managed to get back into WinMo briefly last night... think my HD2 is probably just toast.
Okay, I finally solved my problems for sure - bent charging leads in the battery compartment!
Anyone having boot issues, take out your battery and look at the metal leads and you will probably find them bent out of shape. They are incredibly flexible, so just make them straight again and it will work. I assume it cuts external power briefly right before booting into WinMo, which is why it was rebooting constantly.
So I suppose for me this was a huge case of confusion, I got all confused with bootloaders and MAGLDRs when the problem wasn't even software related.

The problem with my hd2 is the CPU is overheating thus causing it to freeze or lock up, and gets it annoying. After hours of searching on XDA, that's what seems to be the problem. I can't even talk on the phone for more than ten minutes or else locks up. So my idea was to get it back to winmo stock and see if it still locks up. If it does then i will probably try to send it back to HTC and see if they send another one maybe or fix it.
Ive had no luck luck flashing back to winmo from sdcard so i think i should try flashing back to winmo via usb on the tri color screen. Ive read on XDA that if you flash winmo via usb that it doesn't replace your SPL, and you have to run HSPL4 and flash it manually. I'm just not sure which SPL i should flash. I'm assuming 3.03 maybe?
What you could try is using an sdcard that is 2gb or less. Ive read that anything higher than 2gb will cause issues. I'm still a noobie at this rooting biz. Hope that helps.

Which model HD2 do you have?
Find and download the stock ROM from this thread, get 1.66 since it will work with HSPL2 which is the latest HSPL that will work with MAGLDR (for Android and WinPhone7).
You can flash that through SD card and it will go back to total stock, including stock SPL. I assume you know how to pull the .nbh file from the ROM you download, so just rename to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SD card.
Go into the tri-color screen and it should flash fine and give you factory reset. This is where it wasn't working for me, but not because I had flashed the wrong ROM or something but because I had messed up the charging leads in the back while popping the battery in and out to reboot as I was flashing.
Man I downloaded 1.66 last nite and tried to flash back to winmo from android and its toast. Not sure what went wrong. Oh well.

Hello. My HTC Titan is fully unlocked as I installed a custom ROM, right? That gives me the right to download XAP's from the inbuilt browser on my phone. I have installed Supermusic, XAPhandler and Devstore7 on my phone. Now, when I turn the phone off, and try to turn it back on, it stops at the HTC boot logo and the red mini-light on left-top corner is on. The only way to use my phone again is to go to SPL mode and factory reset everything. I have been doing this for a week now and Iam getting so irritated.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be?
Also, when installed a custom rom, the apps on your phone get access to your full device. Does this increase the usage of RAM? I know that my phone is morevulnerable for malware because it is running a custom Rom. Is there any sort of antivirus app or software I can install to reduce the chances of getting infected?
I would be very greatful if somebody who knows about fully unlocking a device could answer my questions.
Thanks
I recommend flashing the ROM again.
Remember, when flashing a ROM, your computer should be doing nothing else but that. Close off processes if you have to in order to free up RAM before flashing.
It isn't uncommon to get a "Bad" flash or even a bad download before the flash. So re-download and then re-flash from a Flash-ready computer.
Hope this helps ya, let us know.

I really REALLY REEEEALLY hope that it doesn't work for you.
The custom ROMs were awaited hopefully so that we could support our homebrew community that make some fantastic functionalities available on our phones. If you want to pirate stuff, kick developers' balls and then expect other developers to help you when pirate xaps f*** things up on your phone - I think every second anyone helps you, a cat dies somewhere in this world.
Please pay for the apps and support the developers instead of stealing their hardwork. It costs them their normal lives, eyes and hours of football matches.
MOD Notice
Do not discuss obtaining paid for apps for free, we do not support piracy on XDA. Support the developers, purchase the Apps!!
I am sorry
Right. I am sorry. I will buy these apps from now on
Pardon me for my bad behaviour, it wasn't meant to offence anybody.
Sorry once again.
And Btw, can I install things like homebrew apps now, because I have fully unlocked my ROM? What about Devstore7 and such? Any good idea how to tweak my phone with the registry editor? I am trying to set the WIFI to always on, is that possible?
I am only wondering, no offence to anybody.
Thanks,

Did you solve the reboot hanging problem? I'm not using any shady apps, hell I'm not using many apps at all at this point. Waiting for the HSPL fixed (mine is one of those stuck on 2.5 and can't flash HSPL or custom ROM).
Any way. Mine just started doing some weird ****. Some of my zune content can't be synced successfully (meaning it syncs and when I look for it on my phone it is a black box only. Some pics and music are just black icons, no labels and not there.) I connect to zune again and it says do more with a zune pass. I have a zune pass. Any way. I reboot the phone thinking that was gonna help and when it came back up, it had done a half ass hard reset (meaning nothing was there and had to go thru the motions of setting it up again, but in settings/about only 3GB was free)
So I flashed the stock ROM again from RUU not gold card (last time I did it thru gold card) upon completion, I set it back up, sync a couple songs and pics to it and I reboot it, no problem. So I sync some more to it, no problem after reboot. so I'm thinking it's good. So I do a FULL sync and install a few apps, then reboot. all good!
Then I install a few more apps and all have a problem and say needs attention, click here. I do and retry, but failed on all of them. so I reboot the phone (knowing what was gonna happen) well, this time it sat on good bye forever, never completely shut down, so I take the battery out and put it back in and start it up and for the first time it hangs on the HTC screen. So I go into SPL mode then try to boot again, hangs still. So I go back to SPL and so factory reset and now Im setting my phone up for the 3rd time today!
Any ideas?
I didn't want to give every app access to my phone so I installed Ultrashot's ROM. It has a root manager application to choose which apps have root access. Since you're gonna reflash anyways, I suggest trying Ultrashot's. I think it has more features than the DFT ROM, but you can decide that.
Good luck!

Geez, it seems that 98% of people who have the ATT Titans are having problems. I guess I must've lucked out when everything went A ok for me. I haven't been reading lately, so I am assuming you tried to debrand the device first by flashing the Euro stock rom? Did you try to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 from the HTC website?
Anyway, alright you said you flashed back to stock ROM -this is the ATT rom I'm assuming right? If so, try flashing BACK to the EURO rom. And do it through goldcard. After flashing the Euro rom...do a hard reset and see if it boots normally. Then I would try to upgrade the SPL again? to 2.6. If that doesn't work. Try to flash BACK to the ATT rom...do a hard reset and see if it works.
Wow, I must say that this is the craziest thing I've ever seen! It just reset again! This time. I was syncing an auto playlist (And I knew it was gonna be jacked up when the device summary screen had this "just removed from device (1 item)" and upon opening that up to see what was in it, it was blank!) and my wife sent me a text, I tried to unlock the screen, and it wouldn't unlock, in fact it seized the device up. The lock screen was partially slid up and stuck. So I waited with no luck.
I unplugged from PC and took battery out, then booted it back up. It took forever to boot up and was presented with setting up device for first time use (I figured). When I did and I get that same new device setup text, I noticed that there were still texts from yesterday in there and went to home screen and all my tiles from apps were still there but I when I tried to launch any of them, the screen just started to animated as if it were about to launch the app, then stopped. So couldn't launch anything.
I'm thinking that there is something with my zune setup doing this. So this time, I am booting my PC into Windows 8 and installing zune and try to sync the same content and see what happens!
Now before Mango, sometimes when I downloaded albums with zune pass on my HD7, some songs would lock up the phone. Meaning that the music would suddenly stop playing and if I hit play, skip, next or even played new playlist, it would seize the phone and force a reboot. I still have those songs on my PC and they play fine on the PC and the phone now since Mango, but zune did freak out a few months ago and created this random playlist named ".rcszasdfaskl23" some weird name starting with a ".rcs" and in that playlist were those songs that caused the phone to seize. The weird thing about this playlist is, it is in zune as content, but it is not listed in the playlist folder in windows explorer.
Any way, I'll report back after syncing with Win 8.

Hey xconomicron,
What were your exact steps that you followed? This is the first time that I heard an ATT Titan owner installing a Euro ROM first. I ordered all of the parts to install using y-cable but I'd rather install via software only.
Never mind. found the answer I was looking for. Sry.
@xconomicron
Thanks for reply. Upon receiving my y-cable and having my gold card all ready to go with the DFT SPL (2.05) on it. It did that first (just as all the directions said to do) after success, I tried the HSPL. The PC screen said success, but the Titan said otherwise. It comes back to SPL2.5 (really 2.05 but showing 2.5), This SPL will not allow ANY other ROM other than US Cingular 1.10 to be flashed (I've tried them all Gold Card method or RUU method). I've tried the HTC SPL 2.6 and it too says success, but the phone says NOPE!
So, I'm stuck with this AT&T crapy ROM that is locked out and the only thing I can do is force update it to 8107 (which only keeps the keyboard from disappearing as far I can tell). And now only to find out that my phone also has this memory capacity problem (when I fill it beyond 70% the phone freaks out and must do a hard reset to remedy).
I know that Cotulla is working on the SPL thing (asked for testers last week) and if I can, I plan to hold out to see if a custom ROM fixes this memory problem.
Thanks
You have to install HSPL to flash custom ROMs. Its in the Windows Phone Development forum as DFT HTC Second Gen HSPL or something
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I realize that, but for whatever reason, mine and a few other AT&T Titans will not accept the HSPL. The SPL 2.05 will not downgrade back to 1.10 or accept HSPL or OSPL or custom ROM or EUR ROM. I've tried all by gold card and RUU.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
So you're having an issue flashing the compatible SPL with GoldCard?
There have been many problems with that. Make sure you made your GoldCard correctly and the cable configuration is correct. Y USB cables usually have one thinner wire, and usually carries only power, so it's most likely that the power will go there. Then the SD card (or flash drive) and phone go in the other two. Mine worked with the power on the thin wire, phone on the middle port that's connected to both, and the flash drive on the other end. This wasn't the configuration in the GoldCard thread, so the guide's might not work. Really, there's I think 6 possible configurations so it wouldn't hurt to try them all.
Good luck!

I believe that this issue with AT&T Titan arises for those who directly flashed (through goldcard) DFT spl 2.05. Once the DFT spl 2.05 rom is installed there is no way of going back to stock cingular rom spl 1.10 or ability to debrand phone to euro version (even goldcard method will not work). Debranding At&t Titan to Euro rom v2.5 first before flashing the DFT spl2.05 is the best route to take, it also ensure that the phone is fully compatible with all the known custom roms, except for nhathoa rom, all are based on euro rom and radio version.

It would be in your best bet to go and read the other threads. One in particularly...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693334
Basically, MOST ATT branded devices are having problems installing the DFT 2.5 SPL+HSPL. In fact, those that have tried to directly flash DFT's 2.05(2.5) SPL -without debranding the device to the EURO rom listed in the link- are usually stuck on the 2.5 SPL without being able to flash anything else at all. -Which means, no installing roms, upgrading/downgrading SPL's.
The steps I used are on that thread. Habnzrot has also listed the steps he used to successfully debrand his device and install DFT's HSPL/Custom Rom.
Follow the steps carefully...Debranding your device is your number one priority BEFORE doing anything else!
If you need any help just ask.
Okay guys. I think somebody should post a thread that explains how to install the original OSPL and stock rom to their device. Many are having issues. I have this memory capacity issue myself. I hard reset my phone at least 3 times a day.
Could anybody WHO knows how to install stock OSPL and rom post a guide for that? I would be very glad if somebody could.
I have started this thread "Install OSPL(and original rom) after installing any custom rom with HSPL." in Titan windows phone development. I hope you guys will participate in that thread.
Thanx
