For those of you who also read PPC Geeks, this is the same problem. I am just trying to cover more area and hopefully stumble across somebody that has a solution to my problem.
The current situation is that the phone will not boot at all. I can hard reset it, I can enter into the bootloader (which is no2Chem 2.47) and I can flash ROMs to it. However, when I try to boot the phone, the black HTC logo flashes for about half a second and then I get a black screen.
I have tried flashing the Sprint ROM available on HTC's website (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_ SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship.exe) and this one: RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4 350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe.
I've hard resetted, soft resetted, taken the battery etc. Anybody have any idea what I should do or why this is happening? Thanks for the help!
Try some things here.
Follow section B. Usb Downgrade, I believe..

I wasn't able to do any of that since I cannot create an Activesync connection between my phone and pc.
I think you may have messed up your bootloader, try and get another one installed on it. I recommed olipro 2.40 and radio 3.35 but you can use a higher radio. Dude you dont need an active sync connection, read the wiki article further. At most you would need the WMmodem drivers installed on your computer. Just put the phone in bootloader (power, camera, reset) and run the tools on the wiki site i linked to you. You can run RUU Rom Update Utility from your Home computer while phone is in bootloader mode, you do not need to have the phone fully booted into windows mobile and synced, or even connected to active sync. Hope this helps I could be wrong though, just try some things and read.
I tried running the TITAN_RELOCKER.EXE, but it wouldn't do it since it didn't have an ActiveSync connection. I have tried the RUU with multiple NBH files. Trying to flash the radio, rom, and/or spl. I will try the bootloader stuff again. Thanks.
EDIT:
Found a new symptom. When I don't have the power cable in I can use the power button to turn on the device and the top right light is green. When I plug it in the light flashes red and won't let me use the power button to turn it on, but will do the same "flash the HTC boot screen" if I soft reset.
Try renaming the .nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh and put it in a 1GB or less microsd card and then press the power button + the camera Button together and hold, and then press the reset button that is located next to your usb charging/syncing slot
good luck
I will give that a try. Does anyone have the nueSpl NBH or any other bootloader for that matter? I can only find the exe to run on the phone and I can't do that.
Hmm it says flash a boot screen? Sounds like you may need to do just that. I have never heard of the blinking red light other than low battery. You can try using PPC Geeks kitchen to build your own rom (temporarily) and you can choose which bootscreens you want to use. If you get the bootscreens to succesfully flash you can either test the ROM and see if you like it or flash the ROM of your choice and it will not overwrite your bootscreens, some overwrite the windows 6.1 screen but most of them do not.
PPCGeeks.com How to unlock device and cook your own rom
Read through that thread and download the PPC Kitchen, now dont open the kitchen run the kitchen updater, pick titan files, and the newest build 20931 and get started after that.
Dont pick an animation just splash, sub splash, and the Windows 6.1 splash. Now run it let it do its thing just make sure you are in bootloader before plugging in to computer. If the flash still doesnt work then you can try the MicroSD card method. Format the card to FAT32 and make sure its totally empty(not even a folder). Now navigate on your computer to mydocuments/buildOS RUU, then look for the RUU_Signed.nbh and copy and paste it to the Memory card and Rename to TITAIMG.nbh now put the card in your phone and then into bootloader mode(power camera reset same time) and let it try flashing. If you still cant get it to work and you have tried starting from scratch then the phone may be a brick. Hard to tell now try some more things.

Hi All,
Thank you xda forum, I was searching and learning from you and ppcgeeks all these two days.
My Touch Pro (Bell Mobility) now is always in reboot loop, it only shows white "Touch PRO" in the 1st screen. After around 30 - 40 seconds, reboot again. Neven been rebooted sucessfully.
Here are what I did:
1. originally it should be SPL-0.35 or -0.25 somthing like that, after use Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 unlock , well done, it shows 0.37-comex (thanks this forum and authors)
2. use PC to flash a chinese version ROM, says sucessfully 100% done.
BUT after that it was going to reboot loop (what i guess is it's a GSM version only?)
3. I want to make it back to original, so I use that Raphael_CDMA_Relocker (BEFORE I REALIZED should flash BELL Stock rom first).
4. in tri-cololr screen, now it says RAPH800 SPL-0.37-0000 (relocked already?)
5. I could not flash anything in anymore, ActiveSync conection could not been connnected, and RUU always said 262 error and when reboot 100% goes to reboot loop, have to take out of the battery to close it.
Anyone have suggestion how should I do? I am still in the 1st month warranty, but afraid Bell will not accept it.
I tried hardset, use Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 to lock it again (failed due 262 problem, stucked on 0% screen), or put different RAPHIMG.nbh (tried one by one) to SD card (always only "loading", and after long time i have to reboot it and still the same infinite loop).
Thanks for you patience, please ignore my bad english.
unbrick
i suggest if you havent already done so: to put .nbh image on your sd card and boot it.
I agree. the only thing at this point you can do is flash from the SD card.
Take it out of your phone, and plug it into your computer. Take the .nbh file from another ROM that has worked for you and rename it RAPHIMG.nbh . Then copy that onto the Root of your SD card. put the card back into your phone, and enter bootloader by holding the power button, and volume down button, take your stylus and reset. (Don't need to hold the center okay button like a hard reset) take the stylus out and follow the instructions.
on my experience download a shipped ROM of any kind. If you still see SPL 0.37.CMONEX i think you are still safe. Just plug it in, active sync will not recognize it since it is in a different operating mode, just execute the shipped rom and that should do the trick.
unforunatly theres no bell shipped, just bell dumped roms..but put it in bootloader (hold volume down, poer, then stylus in reset hole till tri-colour screen) and plug it into your computer. does the word 'serial' change to 'usb' at the bottom? if so, run the RUU for the bell stock rom. feel free to pm me, im on bell too and im sure we can sort you out mate. lemme know if you cant find the stock bell rom

Good day everybody,
I'm sorry if I make it long to describe my problem, but would someone please help me in this because there is no place else to go to have my phone fixed
I have a T-Mobile HD2 where it has a problem and I can't fix it.
The problem starts from the early first days with starting the iGO Navigation program.
Whenever I start the iGO, the phone power off
at the beginning, I thought that the problem is from the navigation program.....but....
After that, it got bigger and whenever I start the phone and try to touch anything on the screen it hangs up and power off again.
Also, sometimes I have to wait more than 15 minutes to start the phone again, and also it power off as usual sometimes the phone got stick on the pink/white "Stick Together" Logo
I give the phone to my friend and he tried to fix but he couldn't
So he gave me the phone back always turning on to the bootloader (Tri-Color) screen.
I tried to HSPL it, at the beginning I couldn't because the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM Driver" was not installed, and it took me forever to get it and get my phone ActiveSync. With windows 7.
Finally, I managed to select the SPL-2.08.0000 through HSPL3 and the situation changed back to the same old situation where my phone sometimes start and stick on the pink/white "Stick Together" Logo, an only twice boots up to windows and start everything normally, but whenever I turn on the camera it power off again
I tried yesterday to flash a new ROM, but I didn't succeed
Right now, the info at the bootloader is these:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0X40
I hope to find a solution to my phone problem in here.
Would someone help me please in this problem
Best Regards,
Just an update on my problem, I tried to flash this new ROM

- I run the RRU.EXE file in the ROM I downloaded and follow the procedures.
- I tried and download the CustomRRU.EXE and put it in the ROM Folder and still the same
I hit next and my phone turns to black with HTC written in white color and under it is the progress bar indicating ( 0 % ) of progress then it says to wait 10 minutes.....later on .... the RRU.EXE programs ended with update error [262] this error on the attached

This time I got an image version number on the from field, but still the same
would someone help me please
Does it still say SPL 2.08.0000 in the bootloader?
Well, then you don´t have HSPL and can´t flash another ROM than the original.
Maybe re-try to install 2.08.HSPL instead of SPL 2.08.0000.

yes it does, but I was able to select only this SPL when I used HSPL3, and I got the screen in my phone saying "We hacked it"
Anyhow, I will try to select the 2.08 HSPL again
Would you please specify more
thanks for your help
WoooooooooooW man, thanks brother you just made my day
I managed to flash it wth no problems, my phone comes back to life again
I didn't think flashing is very easy like this, I was afraid to brick my phone
thanks again for your help and support
Regards
Oh god, I'm trying on my friend phone now which has the same issue and I'm stuck on the HSPL3 where the phone always disconnect from USB, I know it by hearing the disconnect beep in windows, after that I got this error on HSPL3
The phone stays on bootloader (Tri-Color) screen, and shows USB but the truth is that the phone is already disconnected from the PC.
yesterday I was able to HSPL this phone but I selected SPL 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08 HSPL
I waited 10 mins and power up the phone and HSPL it without problem, but now another problem came out........... while the phone is flashing the new ROM, the status bar reaches only 29 % then the phone disconnected from USB by itself leaving me with ROM error [284]
Any help or hint please
I assume you run your PC with Windows 7?
When you start the second HD2 normally, is it seen in Windows Mobile Device Center?
If this is the case, the driver should be ok (it worked with your device, too).
Maybe try this: Disconnect the second HD2, put it manually into bootloader mode (turn off, then push volume down and power on simultaneously until multi-color screen appears), then re-connect it to the PC, USB should appear, then launch HSPL3.exe
Another simple trick is to try another USB port (definitely avoid hubs), or another USB cable.

Thanks brother for passing by again
Yes, I'm running windows 7
I had problems at the beginning to ActiveSync my phone because I couldn't get the phone to be discovered by my PC due to the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM Driver" was not on my PC.
I managed to get the driver and downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.
In the first phone, yes the WMDC 6.1 recognized the phone and I saw it connected at the program.
The other phone, I can't remember because I didn't open it! but I'm sure the phone was connected to the PC because I can see it under the connected USB devices.
Anyhow, I'm afraid that there is a problem with the phone hardware
The reason is because I charged the phone and left it for 30 mins, I tried to flash another ROM by CustomRUU.EXE and I succeeded.
but still when I turn on the phone, the phone get stuck on the first HTC logo screen
I also tried to flash the ROM from the sdCard and I succeeded but still same stuck problem
Also when I compared between the two phones when they boot up I noticed this;
- The first phone when booting it shows lines in red colors at the lower left corner of the screen.
- The second phone when booting shows nothing like this
Last thing I know is that the radio on the second phone is 2.08 and the first phone is 2.10
So I HSPL the leatest Radio whihc is (( Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 )) and still the same problem
Could anyone give me a hand on this problem
OK, so the first phone still running?
Can you put the second one into the bootloader mode and list what you see there?
Can you force a hard reset? What is the behavior of the device if you do so? While flashing (USB), did you try without SD card in (this sometimes makes problems), or even without SIM card, or even both cards taken out?
An HD2 which runs normally shows you some more more data in the lower left corner in the white HTC startup screen, incl. Radio ROM version. If there is nothing, it could be a hint that no ROM and/or no Radio ROM was flashed, eg. you got a bad flash.
Last, but not least, which ROM did you try to flash, the stock ROM?

--------------------------------------------------
Yes, the first phone is running without any problems.
--------------------------------------------------
for the Second phone;
- Yes, I can put the phone into the bootloader mode and it shows:
PB1120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0X40
(Which is the same as the first phone that's working)
- What's the Hard Rest, do you mean the small yellow button??
- Yes, I tried flashing the phone while connected to my PC through USB and I took out the SIM and sdCard.
- You are absolutely right, I know that normal HD2 shows 3 Red lines in the corner while starting up including the Radio version.
Before I flash the phone, somtimes those line appears while booting up and the phone starts normally into the stock Windows 6.5 Pro, but after opening applications or starting navigating in the menus it powers off.
After that, when I power on again, the phone was getting stuck on the T-Mobile whiet/pink logo "Stick Together" and no thing appears in the lower left corner.
What's confusing me right now is that: "athough I was successfully on flashing a new Radio and ROM, this phone is not showing anything while booting up except the HTC logo and stuck on it "
I'm thinking now to try the "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1" which is the leatest update for the HD2 from T-mobile website.
I will be very appreciated if someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks
Yeah, the "white screen of death", eg. stuck in the white bootscreen, is often a hint that the Radio ROM does not match/is incompatible.
As a matter of fact, if you have the 3.xx ROM on your device, it won´t work properly with 2.08.HSPL, maybe that´s the reason for your issues. You need SPL 3.03 with this ROM.
"Hard Reset" means the complete reset, deleting the memory (turn off device, push both vol. up and vol. down at the same time, then briefly the power on button, follow the on-screen instructions to reset the device). Please note that this won´t erase the SPL though, in case you´ve got the incompatible combination.
Flashing the stock ROM is a good guess, worth a try. Try it with the SD card method, this will erase HSPL, too, just in case this had a bad flash, too. Or, in case you had the 3.xx ROM with 2.08.HSPL, this will be corrected, too.
If this would work, you could start from scratch.

Thanks for the hints, but unfortunatly I still have ths same issue (screen of death)
Today, I was able to power up the phone twice with the new ROM and I checked the software information and I found out that the radio is already installed correctly which is (2.15.50.14) but when I turn the camera and took a picture, the phone freezes and power off aagain, after that I returnd to the screen of death again
I tried the method of hard reset, same problem.
I also flash my phone with the custom ROM from T-Mobile using the RRU.EXE, but still stuck on the screen of death after flashing
Anyhow, one new thing happend to me today before doing any of those steps, and I believe it happend after I flash the new radio
- Now, when I power up the phone it vibrate the normal start up vibration then it goes to the booting screen, after 5 secondes it gives me a 7 broken vibrations
- Some times it give me the 7 broken vibrations directly with the start up and the phone's screen stays black
- And some times it doesn't give me the 7 broken vibration
like the phone is giving me an error code
Anybody have an idea about this strange problem !!!!
Please note that flashing through USB won´t erase and replace a defective SPL. This only works if you use the SD card method.
Concerning the new discoveries:
Now that´s something completely new to me... never heard anything like this. Except maybe non-stop vibration phenomenons...
Maybe you could open a new thread with that very specific problem...
I still get the feeling that you´re getting bad flash results, but maybe we´ve got a worst case here: Defective hardware.
If you´ve already put the original stock ROM (incl. SPL) on the device, maybe the best choice is to send the critical unit to a service center.
Still, if not yet done, I´d try to flash the stock ROM via SD card, worth a try.

I can't find the stock "nbh" rom so i flash it from the sdCard
all what I have is the EXE file that has the whole thing to flash the phone through USB which I downloaded from T-Mobile website
Can you help me please in finding the t-mobile stock rom ???
Well, you have all you need!
You can actually extract the RUU.exe file.
Use any decompression software (WinRar, ZipIt, whatever) to extract the files, rename the nbh file to leoimg.nbh, put it onto the freshly formatted (FAT32) SD card, and there you go.

Aha, I didn't know that, thanks
Anyhow, I tried that and took me forever th flash this ROM
when I put the "LEOIMG.nbh" file into the memory card and started the booting at bootloader, everythings works smooth like I'm flashing a new ROM wheer I got the phone's screen showing:
LEOIMG.nbh -
RADIO_V2 -
RUST -
BOOTLOADER -
SPLASH1 -
OS -
CONFIGDATA -
So I assumed that the phones starts to flash the ROM normally, at the begenning it got stuck while flashing the RADIO where the status bar stuck almost on 25%. I had to rest the phone couple of times, then try to flash again.
I managed to flash the phone with the Stock T-Mobile ROM twice, but still when booting it get stuck on the "White Screen of Death"!!!!
The phone still sometimes giving me the strange 7 broken vibration when starting.
Any new ideas
Nah, I don´t have any ideas anymore.
There was a thread with some guys having the same phenomenon with the vibration pattern, but the problem was never solved.
Since you tried everything now, maybe you should send your device to a service center. And after you flashed the stock ROM, warranty won´t be void (except the time is over).

Thanks for all the information brother, and yes that what said to my friend, now it's time to use the warranty
what i think is going on is the RAM got defected, where sometime it can handel processing the data and that's why the phone sometimesstarts up normally,
and somtimes it can't because the RAM is turning into fully volatile all the time and can't process the data anymore.
That's the only thing came to my mind could describe this problem.
Thanks again and I wish they givemy friend a new phone
Hey all, I am having trouble booting anything onto my HD2 everytime i boot the phone i get stuck on the (tri colour screen) "Hardspl" i think..
I am able to install original HTC roms and custom roms via USB and Serial but after i install them and it says installation complete when the phone restarts it just gets stuck on the "Hardspl" screen again??
Any help is appreciated thanks
Here are some images to help
http://img29.imageshack.us/g/dsc0007riq.jpg/
(UPDATED)
How do i remove hspl ive tried installing an offical rom from the SD card but i still boot into this screen ????
Try this........
Power off the phone (make sure your battery is over 50%)
Turn on while holding the vol. down button.
You should be at bootloader (three colour screen)
If you have HSPL installed you should see "cotulla" and "HSPL" on the bootloader somewhere.
If youve been flashing official roms though this may have uninstalled HSPL.
I couldnt get the screenshots you linked to...
You can attach image files using the "manage attachments" button down under the text entry area.. (i think)
Id suggest trying to flash a stock/official rom just now until you get up and running.
With the phone at bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen....
Connect via USB and wait for "serial" to change to "USB", this could take a few minutes.......
When you see "usb" flash the ROM from your pc......
You should make sure that you have the correct ROM for your phone, go to the HTC site and pump in your serial number.
If you still have problems after this then post back here with any error messages you might get...
Hope that helps.....
Thanks for the reply, for the link you need to add (http ://) sorry i should have mentioned that
but i just finished doing what you told be and it finished installing. it had the HTC logo on phone with loading bar as on PC screen no errors :S but im still stuck on the tri colour screen
I originally had android booted onto this mobile but the 3G was not working so i tried installing the HTC wm 6.5 rom that I downloaded from the HTC website but it would not get out of the tri colour screen after i installed it.
So i though it may have been the hardspl its self so i updated the SLP from 2.05 to the 3.03 one im currently on but it does the same thing
Hmm ok...
So the flash finished all the wasy to 100% and there were no error messages..
then the phone rebooted and went to bootloader (3 colours)...??
Restarting the phone just keeps returning you to bootloader??
Try turning off then back on while holding down both volume buttons and see what happens.
Which model of HD2 do you have and which ROM did you flash??
Yes thats correct.
When i turn the device on wile holding vol up-down i get a grey screen to
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. press vol up to restore or press any other keys to cancel"
and im not sure what HTC HD2 i have..
Model: T8585 ?
I flashed the latest rom from the HTC website using the S/N
"RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
Okay, get to that screen and press volume up to continue, this will perform a hard reset which is recommended after a flash, your device should then boot up, may take a few minutes as its the first time..........
ok, It finished in like less then 10sec but there was not skips did from 1% - 100% smoothly and says "Restore....Completed Press VolUp to boot"
So i pressed volume up and once again stuck on the tri colour screen
any more suggestions or is my phone dead?
Hmmm
Phones not bricked because 95% of the time if you can get to bootloader the problem can be fixed........
I have the feeling this is something obvious that Im not picking up on.
Chances are someone else will see this and point out the obvious but at the minute I cant think why it might be doing that......
You could try flashing the ROM from SD card.
Rename the file on your PC to "leoimg.nbh" and put it on a 2gb/4gb sd card, turn the phone off, put the card in, turn on and it should flash........
Like I said, i dont think your phone is dead, I think Im missing something obvious....
its weird because i can install roms, hardspl's and all that stuff it knows the phone is there and installs them but for some reason it never gets passes the hardspl stage.. on each boot.
it accually boots into the tri colour screen in a split second of turning the phone on
Its a longshot but is there any possibility that your volume down button is stuck in the pressed position.........
yeah i have installed off the SD card already. that took awhile but it says everything is ok and installsion has completed.
same problem though once i restart tri-coloured screen pops up.
Im afraid Im not sure about this one...........
I'll keep thinking and let you know if anything occurs to me.....
Im sure someone else will chip in at some point and point out the issue though.
alright no worries thanks for the help and time hopefully someone knows what the problem is.
Maybe if i uninstall the Hardspl? might totally wreck it and 100% brick my phone if it fails but I think its the only option ill have left soon
uninstalling hspl shouldnt cause any harm........
I didnt realise you had HSPL installed, I take it you instaled that after flashing the stock rom??
If you have HSPL installed......
Try to install a custom rom, ie an energy rom, just as an experiment........
dunno if youve seen the images yet conan, but unless its changed since, the OP has 3.03.0000
also, if he has magldr installed ( i didnt see it mentioned, but..) when you hard reset it takes just a few seconds, because it is only hard resetting magldr (at least thats my understanding, and would offer a reason why hard reset is so quick)
I suspect incorrect 3,14 flash, which didnt complete so its returning to bootloader,
so, OP, bootloader - hspl4 - 3.03.hspl - flash your 3.13 rom again, over usb.
ok thanks ill try that right now, also yes magldr was installed for android but i thought I got rid of it once i rebooted the offical HTC rom.
If this works im donating $20 to you right away no joke .. ive been trying to fix for 13hours straight

sd card flash, right?
Step 1 of the flash is the spl gets overwritten by the one in the leoing.nbh rom (3.03.0000 in this case) and then the phone reboots, and starts to flash , , splashscreen (where magldr is), radio, rom.
BUT, the phone wont allow the flash to start because hspl is now gone, so it fails CID checks and stops, so doesn't remove magldr, radio, rom, nothing, it just stops. Further attempts at flashing fail because you teh user haven't notived the spl change, you assume the whole flash failed, and that hspl is still there.
You shouldnt be able to get that far normaly, it would fail before it even starts, on a stock spl, except that hspl was there, so the flash was allowed to begin.
Ok, so its on SPL-3.03.HSPL now then I installed the latest HTC offical rom with USB but still no go
also if it is resetting magldr how come it doesent load up like it used to after a reset
I bought a htc hd2 from ebay, it came with Android on it. The phone kinda works perfect, but would of preferred windows on it. Is there any way to go back!
I tried a few walk through's that just did nothing to the phone,.
I'll try to give as much info as I can
When I turn phone on it goes to a load screen, then says Dark Force Team
Android 2.2
baseband version 12.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14
kernel- 2.6.32.15-g66fed7-dirtycotulla-cotulla-desktop#2
build 2.29.405.5 cl293415 release-keys
software number 2.229.405.5
browser version 3.1
When I power off and hold volume Down The bootload screen says
Pb81120 hx-b3
Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe
I have no clue what any of this means, Just know I want the original windows on phone, everything I have tried has failed.
After you turn on ur phone with the volume down key pressed, its gonna take u to the bootload screen (the rainbow screen) ... plug ur phone to ur computer, and flash ur hd2 with any winmo6.5 ROM

Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe suggests almost every ROM for T is suitable,if you have a wm6.5 ROM,change it into "leoimg.nbh",then press volume down and power to start phone,soon you can see a situation of flashing in screen,press power to do it so you will get your windows later
IMO you shouldn't switch back to Windows

If you want to switch back to Windows Mobile, perform a hard reset by holding down both the Vol-Up and Vol-Down buttons at the same time as you press the power button. This will take you to a screen that says "Delete all phone and account data" or something along the lines of this. Two screens will pop up after this, on both, press Vol-Up as prompted.
Although you would like to switch to Windows, I would discourage it, as the Windows Mobile Marketplace has been discontinued, and in turn limits the use of your phone.

Hi, thanks for the idea But it didn't work as advised. My data's are still the same.
That's holding onto the lower and upper vol button with power button.
thanks
Hard reset won't work as you have nand android so a reset would just reset Android ...
Going back to WM6.5 is good idea & no market is no problem as a simple search will bring up all the apps you need as cabs & with a lot of feedback on quality & best versions unlike the 5h1te on android market.
You should be able to flash from pc if you have ActiveSync(XP) or WMDC6.1(Vista,W7.W8)
*Before flashing confirm your HD2 type as EU version (all white icon hard keys) or TMOUS HD2 (geen call & red end keys)
** If have TMOUS extra care is needed as flashing wrong radios wil leave device bricked.
1. Download a Stock Rom or Custom ROM using links from HD2 Wiki
2. Enter Bootloader Mode by taking the battery out, then put it back in and hold down the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the power button.
3. After the phone enters the Bootloader Screen, plug in the usb cable so it says usb at the bottom of the screen
4. Run the Stock Roms .exe file (or run the customruu.exe file of the Custom Rom you want to flash)
* This will flash a Stock Rom and Radio(if use original ROM with radio included) while keeping your HardSPL untouched *
You may be wise use the CleanEx RV standard v1.02 custom ROM as gives a very original generic ROM but with many bug fixes & smoother running.
All other tools such as HSPL4 for installing a new SPL or HSPL & Activesync & WMDC6.1 can be found in HD2 Wiki too if you have a little browse ...

This is very helpful, but I still have some questions. I'd like to go back to a stock 6.5 Windows ROM, because my phone has a number of bad NAND blocks at this point, which have been rendering it very unstable even with older stable Android ROMs. I have HSPL 2.08 installed and the phone is T-Mo US version.
From what I understand, I need to have a running sync connection with Windows Mobile Device Center to flash a stock ROM, no? When pressing volume down, I get into the HSPL bootloader mode, and it connects as "USB", and the WMDC status says "disconnected". Is there some special way of getting it into the proper flashing mode before running the stock ROM .exe?
And also, for the U.S. version of the stock ROM, it looks like it doesn't come bundled with a radio. Do I install the radio before or after flashing the Windows ROM?
EDIT: looks like just running the .exe flashed the 6.5 ROM just fine, and it did come with a radio bundled
EDIT #2: but... big problem is that the SIM card is not being recognized "SIM card is missing" error.

The official US TMOUS rom came packaged with radio, you could try reflashing radio (look in HD2 wiki, also one in my signature).
Highly likely your no sim error could be due to bad blocks/hardware, try obvious things too such as cleaning sim contacts & perhaps adding tape to back of sim so pushes harder on contact pins.

Thank you--that was a major "derp" on my part (inserted the SIM card incorrectly, trying to be fast). Apologies for forgetting to update my post. Everything is working now!

Stock rom won't help you to fight against bad blocks
You may try to perform Task29 before flashing the rom. Besides - any custom rom is better than stock because it has smaller size than TMOUS stock.
