Hello Experts,
I have a HD2 with SPL1.42.0000.
Earlier I had HSLP208 on my phone and I was running Android from NAND for a day or 2 when I ended up with the WSOD.
I have the ship ROM which I successfully flashed from SD card but WSOD persists and when I try to reflash the ship ROM I am getting the update fail error. I also tried flashing HSPL, HSPL2 and HSPL3 but windows throws a critical error as if the connection was lost. I have also been unsuccessful with gold card ship ROM flash.
Since then I have been searching for a solution but in vain. I can still enter the bootloader but I cannot flash anything including HSPL.
I understand that MTTY or any other method of TASK29 requires HSPL so Im pretty much stuck.
Is there any other way I can fix this issue? Im so very eager to use my phone again with android on it but
All help is greatly appreciated.
Don't feel so bad, I've got hspl and still have the same problem. Winmo sucks anyways. If the hd2 I'm trying to fix was mine? Id shoot myself and then go buy a mytouch 4g lol
A month after the initial post and I get one reply . . Fubar says it!!
I think i will have to digest the fact that all "experts" have looked at this and chose not to answer or even make a recommendation or there is probably too much on these forums these days that its hard to follow or prioritize . .
either ways . .fubar says it!!
So did you get a fix? I have the same problem but can't even flash the stock ROM from SD as the grey screen just hangs at Loading... lol.

Nope .. nothing yet . . every promising search is leading me to JTAG but then again JTAG is the last resort .. you know like for a bricked phone and moreover it comes at a price (around $200) and also has limited sources of information online.
If i can only load HSPL on it I could care less about winmo and load android on NAND . . the problem with HSPL 2/3 is that it causes the WMDC services to stop before completion
Im sure this not a dead end .. its just a blind spot as of now . . im not giving up just yet
Oh yeah . . about your set hanging at loading . . thats probably because your NBH is corrupt . . I would try a different stock ROM until i reach the flash menu if I were you . . but im guessing you have already tried that

Junior . . appreciate your willingness to help but just an FYI before you suggest something without understanding . . MAGLDR needs HSPL and HARET needs winmo . .

Hey guys!
I know this topic really dosn't belong here, but i know that the guys in this forum has much knowlegde so i am trying here!
I have this HTC Hurricane phone, and yes i have asked there but no one seems to be able to help, and then i wanted to flash WM6 on it. For that i needed another SPL, which i got from there and flashed it. The flash it self went fine
But for some reason now, the Hurricane can't do anything at all. I can't turn it on normally i just get a white screen after about 10 seconds after i press the power button. The same happens when i try to get to the bootloader (!), all i get is a white screen after about 10 seconds of nothing. When the device shows me this white screen i also can't get it to connect with my PC! The computer dosn't see it at all, not just active sync, but i do not get that windows xp sound when i plug in a usb device.
So, what can i do? Is this a really good example of a bricked device or what?
I hope you guys will accept that i write here. The Hurricane forum is as good as dead, and i know you guys here for your expertise!

I think JTAG or similar or replacing hardware (DOC Module) might save it, but I don't think there is anyway to flash through USB without the bootloader working...

Note that the prompt only comes up for a few seconds and then it will continue to enter the bootloader.

The end of it implies that you can load a ROM from the storage card BEFORE bootloader kicks in.
Not sure if this will work on a Hurricane but it might with some modification and a working device :s

I have just tried the method. But still i do not get anything, but i white screen. I checked that my ROM dump worked by the other phone. It does ask me if i want to install the rom, but on the bricked one, i do not get anything just that white screen
Guess thats it?
Then I think it is a good example of a bricked phone...
G4 rom dump?
Hi xda-members,
I wanted to know if it's possible to backup and restore a G4 device. On the wiki, it says i need a CID unlocked device.
I think if you hardSPL your device, it should be fine (HardSPL circumvents the CID checking procedure).

Ok, on another tread. They said if you got an error while backing up you have a CID locked device. And i already have created a backup. So i think it should be fine.
i just bought my hd2 fromt-mobile and naturally couldn't resist but to modify it
So i installed and flashed the HSPL2 with no problem it worked perfect and very fast and easy....and i installed Mesus Rom and love it did my registry tweeks got the phone running awesome!!!
Now i woke up early was browsing on htcpedia and glanced at the new DOPOD version radio.... well..... it installed fine no errors but when it got to 100% to reboot BLACK SCREEN. I've tried getting the phone into bootloader mode nothing, tried a master reset holding down the volume up and down at the sometime and press power nothing, i've tried to plug it in the computer it recognizes it my computer makes the connected to a device noise but when it goes to initialize the hd2 i get this driver error:
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM failed.
i've also read once u have hspl or hspl2 installed it can not be bricked can someone please help me on some step by step and some links
the radio i flashed that caused this was 2.051.03(DOPOD)

Is that this one (2.09.51.03)?
Says in the post there it doesn't support 576MB RAM. That would probably mean it's not compatible with the TMOUS HD2. I vaguely remember that being the case for any version with 51 in it.
Sorry to be completely unhelpful here, but I wouldn't have a clue on how to revive your HD2.
Perhaps people in the TMOUS HD2 Flashing guide thread might know something?

meptik
chalk another non-starter up to a ..51.. radio on a tmous phone.
still not seen a fix
is the tmobile us hd2 recoverable or is it bricked out?
sorry, not sure. see other threads HERE (post three) and HERE , , it's also mentioned in the mtty and the HSPL (regular HSPL and tmous HSPL) threads.
As far as i can gather so far, roms below 2.10 cause not to boot, but can recover from bootloader, radios with a ..51.. in them cause it not to start at all. (because ..51.. radios don't support the 576mb, presumeably)
Best of luck.
I am having the same problem...I can boot in to bootloader mode and in to restore mode but there is no display on the screen the computer detects it and everything and I can flash the phone, but nothing ever comes up not the tmobile screen or anything...I had this problem when I first got the phone only the backlight would come on, but I took the battery out for a few minutes and then it worked fine until the battery died then the problems started again, then I flashed it with the with the latest tmobile us official rom I could find and it worked until I turned it off and then I could not get it to turn on again. I somehow through some voodoo or something after trying the restore feature like 20 times got it to come on, the I had to take the battery out to put in the sim card and now nothing...The thing I can't understand is why windows recongizes the phone and I can flash it but nothing changes nothing just a blank screen with the backlight on I can attach to it with mtty and everything I ran a task 28 and task 29 and reflashed it nothing I have tried cooked roms and everything still no display...Someone please help...I plan on returning it for a new one except there are none in my entire state, I have called every tmobile store in the phone book and none know when they will get more in...

That info is still in the same thread that y'all should have read before bricking your HD2's. Many (and I mean many) of us flash our HD2's all the time, run ROM's custom built to even let us run the latest and greatest Android builds available.
When you and the OP (iirc) get some fresh HD2's, read the info and links in the stickies here. There's enough info in those to get you well on your way to mastering your HD2's destiny.
Best of luck.
So true. ALL chefs always warn ab NOT flashing .51 radios on TMOUS HD2 or they posting links to HOW TO FLASH TMOUS HD2.
Dont rush with first flashing! Thats the best way to brick ur phone!
Always read the forum! Thats the bast way to make ur phone happy

Yesterday i put my hd2 in my pocket without locking the screen. when i heard it surfing around the menues i took it back up and tried to take it back to homescreen. As many times before the phone refused to respond so i took out the battery. But when powering it back on the **** wont pass the htc startup-screen!
I have read around this forum quite alot now and i have done hard reset a million times, i have installed an original updated rom from htc`s site. When this didn`t work i installed hspl3, Artemis v270 NOR and RADIO_2.07.51.22_2. And it still wont start!
Im getting quite sick of experimenting, so i`d be really happy if any of you smartguys could help me

Flash a radio that does not have ".51" in the name. Flash a radio that has ".50" instead. ***Make sure the ".50" radio is 2.06+ (don't flash anything below 2.06.50.xx).
Okay, thanks for your reply But i still cant make it work, are you sure its the radio causing this problem? I`ve now tried RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 (this is the only one with "50" in it among the recomended radios in the artemis thread...) , RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and the mentioned above RADIO_2.07.51.22_2.7z.
Should i just keep going?
One more thing. When 2.12 and 2.10 was installed, the phone restarted by its self after about 30-60 sec on htc bootscreen. if that means anything?

It's usually the radio that's the problem -- if your phone gets stuck on the bootscreen.
I'm not sure what else might be the problem.
Just in case, try this: Task 29, flash a .50 radio, flash a stock ROM (via USB), hard-reset.
If that fails, I don't know what else to say...
i tried the task 29 witout luck A couple more weird things though.. when i try to install a rom from the memory card, the bootloader doesn`t start the installation. I just says "serial". And Yes its formated with fat32 and im sure im doing it right. The other thing is that the phone starts by itself about 60sec after plugging in the charger.. i`m guessing this have to be a hardware problem. might be the usb connector as many seem to have problems with.
I`ve now put in a stock spl and will send it back for repair tomorrow.
Dammit, hspl i still there. Is the only way to remvoe it by using the sd-card? then i might be fu..ed regarding the warranty :S

I think so. Someone with more experience might be able to provide a more confident answer.
Are you sure you're renaming the ROM as "LEOIMG.nbh" (no quotes) and putting it in the root of the SD-card?

Hello dude!
Try using a microSD smaller than 8gb and formated with FAT32 (it's a known fact that 16gb microSD does not work for flashing.....).
If you want to remove the HSPL there is 2 ways:
1 - Flash a stockROM via SDcard, like you are trying to do.
OR
2 - Use the HSPL2 program to revert to the original SPL state.
If you could enter the bootloader, probably your phone does not need any special repairs.. Anyway.......
Try using a smaller SDcard to flash the radio and the ROM again. You could also try flashing via USB/PC.....
Do not forget to redownload the ROM, it could be a "bad download".
For more info take a look here:

hello guys,
someone at htcedia posted this fixes:
1) Install you HSPL.
2) Install your cooked rom.
3) Upgrade your radio. (Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26)
4) Do Hard reset. (Hold Vol up and down also end call button) then press (Red reset button under back cover next to battery)
Fixes Freezing on HTC bootup screen.
and for me, when i remove the micro sd card the phone bootup but when the micro sd card is in the phone it wont.
so try to remove the micro sd card then reset a hard or soft reset ur device, keep ur micro sd out until ur r completely loaded, then put ur sd card back in the phone.
I have this HTC HD2 and after i flashed a stock Rom and updated my rom again this occurred. Every time I turn on the Phone I am stuck at the Boot loader screen and I have no way to reverse it. My SPL states that I am on 3.03 but there are certain numbers missing from the top of the screen. I have tried to flash the Rom many times after and every time it reaches 2% the phone restarts and i get invalid Vendor ID, please see the screenshot. Thanks
my most important question is if the Phone is bricked and nothing can be done
Could have been a bad flash indeed.
But, the good news is that in most cases, as long as you get into the bootloader, you can get in working again.
"Invalid vendor ID" means that the ROM you tried to flash was not made for your HD2. In case you have a branded device, you must flash the ROM which was made for your operator, if it´s a free device, you must flash an HTC ROM.
You now need to find the proper ROM for your device and flash it through the SD card method, this will re-flash SPL as well.
im afraid this issue has come up a few times (only 2 or 3 that ive noticed) and is not fixable. there are a couple of threads where people have posted pics of bootloaders with those missing/strange characters and it seems to be unfixable and occur for an unknown reason..... sorry.
jtag may resolve the issue if your able to find a way having it done

In another thread, a few other users succeeded with this:
1. Took out the battery for about 30 seconds.
2. Put one of the LEOIMG.NBH on storage card
3. After putting the battery held the volume down button and pressed power button.
4. It went into HSPL mode straight away and started loading the win 6.5 OS.

hi all
something went wrong with my htc hd 2 and im trying to flash it or update it with any rom i could but its not working
if i update through the pc then it just stucks on 7% and if i remove the HSPL then it just stucks at 0% and when im trying to flash it through the sd card the im pressing the voldown button and the power button and then it just shows me loading... for even less than a half of a second and then show me again the phones SPL and that upgrade rom code error please try again so whats the damn problem with it ??
i tried 3 roms and one is (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_Signed_LEO_Ship) after i removed the HSPL and made the SPL 2.08.0000 but also hangs on 0%
and the other two are (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_ARA_1.66.415.3_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship)
(RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) and none works if the HSPL is removed but if i get it back with 2.08.HSPL and 3.03.HSPL then it loads to 7% and just gives 290 error : invalid command.....whats the problem with it ?!?!?!
so please im really tired with it please any help i can get from you guys
thanks to all...
can someone please help ???
im waiting....
you need to find out which rom is the correct rom for your phone, region and carrier if it was originally locked to a carrier,
secondly,
what size sd card? wont work on 8gb or higher, and some 4gb wont either.
anyway i can find out that ???
and my sd card is 2gb

hmm well in that case it sounds more like a variant of the stuck radio, , more normally expressed by failure at 8-9%, but not always.
try flashing hspl, then flash a custom rom, since they dont contain spl or radio (flashed first and second in a stock rom, at 1-10%
i will try but can you give me a custom rom which you prefer ?
thanks.
i tried one of NRGZ custom roms and one fully updated but just got stucked on nrg energize start up screen
any info about the problem ??
i want to add that i installed Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jul.04_2 and it finished but gets stucked on the start screen (NRG ENERGIZE)
i tried to install 3 radios and they were (Leo_Radio_2.08.50.08_2) and (Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07) and (Radio_2_14_50_04)
and nothing worked
do i need also a different radio then update the rom again or just need another custom rom than the one i tried ?
cuz the internet i have is slow and i cant try many so im asking first
i dont know if im wasting your time and im no expert and im sorry for it
but i just need to finish with the phone cuz since 4 days im trying with it and need it
please help....
Hmmm, sorry to say it doesn't sounds good.
can you please say something that sounds good ?
sorry, no, , , things flashing and seeming to be successful but actually not being successful, , that's a bad sign, , its fits perfectly with the various symptoms of (what i call) a 'stuck radio', , which varies from your symptoms (seems to flash but doesn't) right through to nothing flashes at all, and very often fails at between 7 (more usually 8or9) and 10%
prepare an sd card with the correct stock rom on it, (or a goldcard if you dont know what the correct stock rom is) ready to sd card flash,, probably go for either a low version (1.4x((its not a tmous, right?))) or a high version (3.14), , stick the phone (no battery no sim no card) in a plastic bag, wrap it up, stick it in the freezer for half an hour, , when you get it out, quickly reinsert battery and sd card and start the flash, , there have been a few (rare) cases where this works. try it a few times, but dont go crazy.
You may just be lucky, especially since the custom rom seemed to flash.
sorry for the late reply...
but i tried what you told me and nthn worked and i need you to explain to me about the gold card and how to do it ,this is the last chance for the phone...
