All right guys, so my TMOUS HTC HD2 has broken and won't charge anymore, nor will the phone recognize there is a USB cable plugged in, the cable is plugged in correctly the phone just doesn't recognize it. Luckily before the phone completely didn't recognize it, I managed to flash the stock rom onto the phone using the update utility with the computer. The problem is, if I try to swap the phone out with a new one, they won't take it if the HSPL is there. I can't remove the HSPL using the HSPL program because the usb cable won't get recognized, and I tried flashing the custom rom through an SD Card using EXACT instructions:
1.)Format SD Card to FAT32 (Tried using computer and from phone)
2.)Extract files from the updater.exe
3.)Copied the RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the sd card
4.)Renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh
5.)Have 50% battery in a battery
6.)Held down the bottom volume key while booting the device
And then it shows Loading... for a split second and just sits at the Tri-color screen. I have no idea what I can do now to get the original SPL back onto the device so I could use some serious help please.
Nevermind, after some detailed research I found out that the TMOUS stock card, a 16 gb card, does not work with this method of installing a rom. Only cards that are 8 gb or less work/
The best you can do is to use a 2GB Sd card.
Even 8GB Sd cards have some problems.

faulty touch screen. roms wont help.
I have done this already but I am having to do it again to send my HTC back in for repair again. I keep however getting this error message:
"00018003"
"LEOIMG,nbh - FAIL"
"RADIO - Fail"
Then under all this it says, "Update Terminate, update fail"
I have tried 16GB, 8GB, 2GB and 1GB cards, all fully formatted to FAT32, all with just the LEOIMG.nbh file on the root, and all do exactly the same thing (apart from the 1GB that does nothing).
Help me please.
EDIT:
Ok so I managed to flash a stock ROM using the USB, so I now have windows. I still however have the cortulla HSPL on my phone. Also the reason I have to send my phone in is because it keeps white screening, should I leave it and use Windows to see if it white screens in this form?

i think your using an incorrect ROM or your using the incorrect phone/unit. this is for himalayas/ andes. i think youmay be using a rom for something else or your phone is something else. correct me if i'm wron seniors....
nope, im very sure that my phone is a hima, and the roms are for hima to. or O2 XDA II
hi, i have exactly the same problem for month, i didn't manage it by now, there mus be way, just keep asking and tell me when you get it
please can someone upload image of sd card prepared for flashing?
I have same problem, in nomal mode and bootloader mode my PC cant recognize my himalaya,
in Device manager my himalaya detected as UNKNOWN DEVICE,
i tried in several PC's but got the same problem,
nt : i use pcsync v 4.0 , 4.2 and 4.5 but
i think its an hardware-error,,
as i said before as far as i know nobody here ever managed to flash their himalaya from a sdcard
one reason it dont work with usb could be a bad cradle or connector
had plenty of those where i had to wiggle with them to get connection
here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing is "how to" flash hima from sd card, so it is possible, unfortunetly i cant connect via usb, so i cant prepare sd card. Btw i think it is clearly software problem in my case, i flashed some bad version (it was for hima), since then problems has releasing, my sms client break down, usb down, canot install corectly many programs, etc. So please, make someone image of prepared sd card, it will be usefull for many others, now my hima is nothing than brick
a sdcard reader is only about 10€ can that not be used?
no, command for backuping rom to sd card must be entered from terminal program from pc using usb
hi, i tried whit some pc,and is the same nothing works.its something whit the rom, because everything started in the upgrade. please someone help us!! if anyone get the sd image please reply here
ANYONE who have hima and right-working os on it can made os backup to sd. It is just three commands as i hope, minute of working, so help pls. Just get mtty (//http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mtty.exe), connect ppc to pc, and type these (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing) commands.

i cannot open by mtty, every time i try by mtty says that i cant open usb port. how i do that??????
you cant, same as me, it must be done by someone with working usb
i cant sync via bluetooth either
i found at ALPIN board very simple using sd-card methode,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341564
maybe next time will able for xda-II that have error connection
yes, of course this method can be applyed for xdaII as well, but still, there is problem that noone is enought willing to do backup image that he don't need for his own reason.
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
i followed it very precise after reading evrything through twice..... and when i run " Easy Hard-Spl v7 beta v0.1" it says: "ERROR[260]:Connection. the update utility cannot connect to your PDA phone. please check that your usb cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA phone. check the following, 1that the PC is connected to the PDA phone, 2 that the PDA phone is connected to the pc".... and it is... so what have i done wrong?

make sure you dont have the sim card in i have gotten that error from that also you may want to try and flash a stock rom first if you cant find it heer go to either your carriers web site or HTC their sight has many stock roms. ive been doing this a few years now but i am no where as good as most of the ppl here. good luck
didn't work, and now i tryed to do that pc sync as well ono doesn't work
do u have active sync or windows devive center on your computer ? have you been able to connect and view files on the phone through your computer using any of these programs? if so have you gone to htc and tried to flash the stock rom? you must remove sim card and memory card. next do a hard reset use the stylist and stick it into the tiny hole just to the right and slightly above the usb port then follow the instructions on the screen. after that connect the phone to the computer and link to active sync. then reinstall the stock rom. let me know how that works after that you should b able to flash hard spl then download it and just open it on computer it will install on the phone by itself dont load on memory card or phone memory directly let it do it through the computer.good luck let me know how you make out good luck
ps i know it may sound silly to reinstall origonal rom but sometimes there can be a corrupted file preventing you from upgrading, and its good practice lol
Does your phone can run the windows?
I mean does your pphone boots correctly?
or it is in the tricolor screen?
if it works, why you are trying the that new HSPL?
use the olipro version V7
be sure your PC has netframeworks 3.5, your phone dont has the storage card, have enough battery, good usb cable, and Windows XP.
if your device cant boots and its in tricolor screen... please search in the wiki to your country Stock rom and falsh it.. once it boots... apply the HSPL
+ Que PPC...
as you are the master of the hermes maybe you can help me i have a herm 100 that wont get past the screen align on any rom. you tap the X in the corners then it comes right back. i think it may be the radio but i cannot find anything that will work and stock rom doesn't go past 11% on install. spl 1.40. olipro ipl-1.01 m 05 s 04 B o6 . it does connect to active sync and i can open all the folders in it. all the links to radios are dead and i think i have to down grade spl first to install radio but i cant find that. anny help would be great. ive flashed the hell out of my fuse kaiser and pure and no problems but i rely liked this old phone and want to bring it back to life
im having problem with installing any rom... even stock rom cannot be installed. I have HSPL 2.08 installed. I can enter bootloader. The installation of rom goes through the version check window and then when i hit flash button it shows 0% and after 10 secs pops out window with error code 266 that it cannot get response from the device.
I also tried flashing from the stock sd card (2gb, FAT32 formated) with the stock nbh file renamed to leoimg.nbh but when i enter bootloader mode nothing happens and im stuck on the three coloured screen. I really dont know where's the problem.
I have already had several WM6,5 roms installed... i have tried WP7 and currently i have NAND Android and Magldr 1.12 and nothing happens even if i want to update it to 1.13. Only flashing that works is flashing SPL/HSPL. It works without any issues...
If anyone have an idea i would be very thankfull, because i have tried almost everything.
Please post the spl line from bootloader. Go look, don't just assume it's still what you think it is.
it shows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

Have you tried a different USB port or a different computer? If this does not work try another USB cable. As far as flashing from SD make a copy of your SD card on your computer and reformat it.I know you said it was already Fat 32 but sometimes it helps to theroughly clean your SD card, this is what reformating it will do. Once you have it reformated just put the ROM on it and try flashimg it again.
so i have finally fixed the problem. The problem was very simple. ROM flash utillity doesn't support USB 3.0 but anyway i don't understand why flashing with sd card doesn't work because i have tried several sd cards with various size.

It is not that it does not support USB 3.0.The problem was that your HD2 drivers cor the USB port you were using were most likely either nolonver correct or corrupted. This is a common probblem for some reason. Maybe samsamuel can post here again and explain it a little better. Glad you got your HD2 up and running again.

well im no engineer, but each usb port installs drivers individually for anything you plug in, so port 1, it installs the hd2 drivers, port 2, it installs them again, and sees them as two seperate instances. if you then mess with android, say, and/or wp7, and mtty, you replace those drivers with other drivers, but only for that port, so you can potentially end up with three sets of different drivers on three different ports, so you try something that requires winmo drivers, and the pc is trying to use the ones tweaked for mtty.
Only a theory, thats what usb does, whether thats really the problem, who knows. makes sense to me, so im sticking to it. ALways pays to find the device in hardware list and uninstall it now and again, including 'remove drivers'.
That being said, there could be something in the usb 3 theory in this instance.
well i cannot argue with you guys, because you might be right. But i tried two different USB 3 ports with the exactly same result and failed then i tried USB 2 port and succeded without any problems so maybe there's something about it
Hi. I have a problem here. Is it possible to flash new rom directly through bootloader, my activesync is not working properly, and something is wrong with my usb connection - when I connect my device to PC via usb, in bootloading mode - it gets connected and disconnnected about 50 times in one minute, no .RUU is able to recognize it for long enough to complete the instalation. I've tried to reinstall the activesync, did hard reset of my phone, deleted relationships - but no luck. What worries me most is that usb connection problem. It's only with HD2, all other devices connect properly. Anyone knows the answer, what should I do in order to fix that? P.S I always remove sim and sd card, and disable my antivirus programs and firewalls during my flashes....
I bricked it, finally...
And now - I'm stuck...seemed I finally got connected via usb through bootloader for longer than two minutes, so I started fleshing my radio... and it got disconnected after a minute by itself again, in the midllle of the process...Now, there's an upgrade rom code error on green field of my bootloader, telling me to try again, only - I can't do recovery, cause my usb connection gets on/off 50 times a minute, whenever I try to do the recovery .... Any suggestions?

Possible solution, you should try different USB ports of your PC.
Always make sure your battery capacity above 50%.
If you don't have HSPL installed, you should only flash the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM (go to htc website).
Other alternative, you can flash via micro sd card.
Download the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM and extract it using either 7zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh
Rename it to: leoimg.nbh
Copy it to the root of micro sd card. Insert it to the phone.
Now, make sure you turn off the phone.
Then, press at the same time, the volume down and power on button, this will bring you to the boot loader.
Follow the onscreen instruction.
Good luck
Thanks for the reply...I have HSPL 2.08, it was fully charged, and was flashing radio 2.12. I was planing to flash a custom rom after words. I've tried about 8 usb ports on my computer, and always the same thing - endless connect/disconnect game, or not connected at all... If I get lucky - it will turn out to be only usb cable, but if I'm not and if it is usb port on my HD2 - I'm doomed, I might as well throw it to the garbage, cause replacement of the motherbord cost as much as new phone ... And, I'm afraid - that's the strongest possibility, I never had a problem charging a phone before this, but a member here explained me that usb port on HD2 has 4 pins, 2 for charging and 2 for data transfer. And that it seems - my data pins are ****ed.. ... So, anyway, I'm gonna try flashing this radio and new rom from sd card, but how am I gonna charge my phone now, in order to do that (I've been trying to establish connection to pc from my bootloader all night, so battery must be low by now) cause when it's turned on and put to charge warning comes up on that black screen: Software update failed, please try again - and the led for charging battery never turns on ?

Yeah it sounds like your USB port on your HD2 is bad. If your HD2 is still under warranty I flash the official stock ROM via SD card so you are back to complete stock and good for warranty repair. Also so you know if you bought your HD2 secound hand if it was still under warranty when you bought it the warranty is transferable.
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately, I'm as lucky, as it gets ...
I have an old Hd2 (512mb) with a broken screen sitting in a draw. I had installed WP7 on it.
Looking at making this a back up phone if I can install android on it.
Trouble is since managing to get back to wm6.5, I have lost MAGLDR and spl now says 3.03.0000 instead of saying slp2.08.hspl as it did before. Also now I can not flash anything as it either have a crittical error and stopping (phone goes to % done screen then sits on 0% till crash alert on pc hits). I have tried flashing from the sd card and it goes to the white screen and says loading... then sits there.
Current specs
OS 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Rom Ver. 3.14.4052.2 (04666)WWE
Radio 2.15.50.14
Protocol Ver. 15.42.50.11U
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x30
Ok question is ... is this phone recoverable and how?
Many thanks in advance.
moved to general section. Booting a SD built from WM + clrcad+ haret is an option for you? there is a few roms GB, ICS even JB roms there ...
phone into bootloader - connect usb - run hspl4 - choose 2.08.hspl - back into bootloader - flash magldr
Thanks for the advice but already tried this.
Get all the way to installing then sits for 30sec and get critical error
more info
What is happening ...
phone connects & operates fine in wm6.5
phone connects via usb no problems both sync & hard drive modes work.
start hspl or any other flash app & it works detecting phone & spk version on it
goes to bootloader fine.
bootloader goes into usb mode fine
THEN bootloader either
with hspl bootloader becomes unresponsive/frozen, error message:
Critical Error
Flow: 00000006
Error Code: 00000011
Description: Unknown
with Rom/Radio/MAGLDR flashing will make it to the progress bar screen the sit on 0% until update error
After this need to do a soft reset or remove battery to restart phone, it then boots up into wm6.5 working fine.
don't start with winmo running, , the usb connection times out while the phone is rebooting.
Put the phone manually into bootloader, - connect usb - wait for serial to become USB and THEN run hspl.exe
perplexing
ok just tried this same results
I don't know what to think anymore about this as everything works upto the point that it actually flashes the software.
Even when I move the img file to th sd card and try to install from there it gets to the white screen then says loading... and freezes without bringing up fash or quit options.
Surely since its still working theres a way to make it flash again?
things that come to mind...
the OS on your PC can sometimes cause problems, , especially (but not always) 64 bit windows. If theres another pc in the house, try it.
corrupt usb drivers, if you;ve had the usb cable in teh same usb port all along, change it for a new one, and use a back mounted port, not a usb slot in eth front of the case (assuming a pc not a laptop)
corrupted spl of some kind. worry about this possibility later.
-
For me, the next steps would be:-
try another pc
then
try an sd card flash of the (correct) stock rom
then
report back
Success now halfway ...
Thanks for the help, finally got hspl, magldr and custom wm6.5 rom. Problem was with laptop 64bit win7, pc 32bit with virus scanner obstructing.
But all fixed now.
Now just have to find an android rom I want, figure out cwm ext4 ??? out. Radio 2.15 is bad, Radio 2.12 good then Radio 2.15 good ??
Got some figuring out to do nand vs sd, partition formats etc heads spinning again.
At least the phone is flashable again
Desire DL installed
Thanks for all the help. Finally got there android now installed on hd2. Very impressed. Will make a good back up for my one x.
