having a major problem - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i tried to nand install android onto my device and it got 25% on the HTC status bar then stopped, now it just says update failed, please try again, i cant get anything to flash to it in bootloader or w/ SD card.
on my device it says:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0x05
cotullaHSPL 0x40
i saw task 29 so i tried that (it got rid of the "update failed please try again" thing) but i still cant get it to flash the stock rom w/ RUU or the SD card. w/ the sd card it flashes the white screen for a split second (short enough to where i cant even read "loading") then goes back to boot loader and does nothing
what else can i do?
also once i got the RUU to get it to 8% w/ the stock rom then it stopped and said connection error. why am i getting this problem?

wait just kidding, i kept trying RUU and it decided to finally flash it! it works now!

Trying to get stock ROM back on [PLEASE MOVE TO TMOBE HD2]

PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE TMOBILE HD2 SOMEONE
Hey guys, i'm trying to get a replacement for my HD2 since I believe i've gotten a bad shipment one however i'm running:
R 2.10.50.26
G 15.39.50. 07U
D 2.13 KUMAR C5
[this is what appears under the stick together when it freezes]
I downloaded the 2.13 stock ROM from the website here, opened in winrar, extracted the ruu file, reformatted my microSD to a FAT32, placed the file on it and renamed it to LEOIMG and then helpd down the down vol button and hit the power button, it flashes the rainbow screen thing, flashes loading really quickly then goes back to the rainbow screen and says the following [pic included but taken from a crapberry so sorry it's hard to read]
[apparently I can't post pics? so here's what it looks like I can provide a picture link via PM unless I get verified]
[RED BLOCK]
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x05
[GREEN BLOCK]
[BLUE BLOCK]
[WHITE BLOCK (also says serial)]
Any ideas why I cant flash the stock ROM so I can return this without voiding the warranty guys? It'd be much appreciated.
Also if it matters i'm using the TMobile 1024 HD2. I just got it about 5 weeks ago
trying to use a 16gb sd card? 99 times in 100 they fail. (well, the one that came with the tmous does anyway)
You dont need to use card tho...
assuming you have a tmous phone, (you didnt say, and you're posting in the regular leo section, but im gpnna assume you have a tmous)
1 - run hspl3 - choose 2.08.0000
2 - flash the stock rom 2.13 using usb
done
I'll give it a shot and leave an update, apologies if I posted in the wrong area. The reason i'm trying from an SD card is because for some reason the phone keeps freezing and I pull the battery 10+ times a day and it gets stuck at the stick together screen alot [i'm assuming i'm having some issue with it hardware like a bent pin but since it's getting power i'm not sure???] I figured an SD install would go smoother. My windows Vista doesn't seem to like it too much
dont worry about it not booting, so long as you cam manually get into bootloader, you can run hspl and do usb flashes from there. The phone doesnt need to be booted.
As for teh pins, they should all stick out at teh same angle (i.e straight out, all teh same)
OK update:
I tried formatting my good 4gig SD card, put the file on it leoimg and it ran, got to the installing, gave an error, I took it out now. I go into the bootloader now [just read your reply] and it says
RUUNBH
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
cotullaHSPL 0x50
[green box]
Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
[Blue box]
[White box]
USB
I have it plugged in via USB now and i'm in the bootloader so i'm guessing this is a good sign, I try running HSPL3_PKG.exe so I can do as you suggested however I get a rapitool.dll error or something, I tried just running the T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1 which is the ROM exe and get some rapitool error as well so I get this genius idea that it must be the lack of windows mobile center6.1 or whatever. I go, download the 32bit and it says its not supporting my processor? so I got the 64 bit and have the feeling i'll get the same error. I'm running Windows Vista, AMD turion x2 so I think it's a 64 bit. I'll reupdate once I try it all again.
UPDATE AGAIN:
I installed windows mobile center [I needed the 64 version dur de duur]
I ran the HSPL3_PKG and got it back to the 2.08.0000
I went to run the 2.13 update and it freezes at 9%, says that theres an error 290 invalid command. I tried to redownload and try again afew times to no luck so far. Here's what the bootloader says now
[RED BOX] RUUNBH
PB81120 ss-B3
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50

Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
so on and so forth.
any ideas would be appreciated lol
CURRENTLY TRYING:
Downloading the stock ROM from that thread [one that's shipped without the SPL?] hopefully it works when I try to run this one and I can just take it back finally. If not and if noone has any ideas i'll just try to bring it back without a ROM on it [I think that's whats happened now] and just say that I tried installing the official update off the tmobile site and power died somehow and I have no idea what happened maybe?
MOST RECENT UPDATE:
OK so here, I got the shipped stock ROM, loaded it up on the microSD and it goes to loading when I go into bootloader and stops. I tried via USB and bootloader and it never makes it past 0% and just stops. I'm currently assuming that there's no actual ROM on my HD2 for now?? When I run the 2.13 ROM by TMob it shows the upgrade from [blank, there's nothing there] and then to: 2.13 before it errors as I have mentioned before.
Currently i'm running out of ideas, I certainly hope I didn't brick my phone and there's gotta be a away around this somehow. If there's nothing there I should try to put HSPL back on and try another custom ROM perhaps? hmm. I'll give it a try since i'm at a loss and noone seems to have any ideas. Please if ya do feel free to share them, I wish I didn't have to experiment like this on my own with not too much knowledge on mobiles. My computer knowledge rests in networking and random bits like Java :s AP comp sci helps not here
*insert happy dance*
slowly but surely i'm learning my way around this...I think
I have done the reverse now and got HSPL back on my phone. Currently I'm trying to install wither the stock rom via USB and bootloader or the Energy.Leo ROM one though both keep freezing about halfway through the install. It's rather annoying because it's happening at what appears to be random times. I'm still considering goign back to SPL and claiming their official update fragged my phone and I have no idea how but I want to keep this trying.
you're sending it back, right? well only the spl is important, doesn't matter about the rom.
so long as in bootloader it says 2.08.0000 or 2.10.0000 then you can send it back.
I think from what i'm hearing your Radio partition is **** up.
Or ur CID isn't working correctly.
Try flashing stock rom with a goldcard....
Or do a task29 and flash stock rom again.
Ended up figuring it out finally, afew days ago, new HD2 should get here tomorrow. I ended up putting the HSPL back onto it, flashing a custom ROM, upgrading it via USB/boot loader screen to the stock ROM that it came shipped with then downloading tmobiles from their site and putting the update onto it and everything is currently as it should be. Radios, ROM and SPL

Bootloader Problems!

My HD2 was orignally running the Topix rom fine for about 3/4 months, but one day it starts playing up and not booting properly. So i wiped the phone using MTTY (task 29), but now i cant re-install any roms, the installation hangs at 3-4% and the HTC sign during installation looks fuzzy andthe phone reboots into the bootloader.
Ive tried changing radios, but again, the installation hangs.
The bootloader screen looks weird it reads:
a-_aaa-_a HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CortullaHSPL 0x30
Currently the phone has been wiped, i.e. there is no OS on it, just the bootloader screen.
Ive tried flashing back to the original SPL using the SD card method, but when i try booting, the phone restarts once the screen goes grey and gets to 'checking'.
Is there any way to fix this? Any help will be really appreciated!

will the phone connect to the PC in bootloader mode?
Try flashing a radio over USB, just the radio, not the whole rom, see if that changes your bootloader,
The phone does connect to the PC in bootloader mode, but the phone reboots after a few seconds of starting the radio flash, the same things happens when trying to flash a new rom.
hspl
id reinstall hspl see if that works if the writing changes then try flashing a new rom
otherwise it sounds like your doomed

[Q] No OS on HD2 found

Hello all... tried to be a little geek and installed a custom Rom (Artemis V32 with radio 2.12.50.02_2) and that went ok. Then I copied an Android version to my sd card, and that went also ok.
Then I installed a bootloader so I could choose Android or WM, that went ok too.
But since then I had some regular crashes in Android and also with WM.
I decided to install a stock Rom (found via Usenet; Stock ROM (NLD) 1.72.172.0 met radio 2.07.51.22_2 en SPL-1.66.0000 ) and things went bad.
I have tried all kinds of things so resolve the issue:
- Put the stock rom on the sd card (formatted fat32, size 4gig) and renamed it to loeimg.nbh and started it up with the volume button down: no success
Message:
PB1100 HX-BC
SPL-1.66.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
- Connected the hd2 with the original cable to my pc (Windows 7 Ultimate, and tried also WinXP SP3) and tried to install it via the .exe file from another stock rom I downloaded via the HTC website.No succes, the software starts-up, I can click yes, next, click yes again at "I completed the steps indicated above" and then I get the screen current information about your pda phone Image version does not mention any version at this point.
If I then click on update I get the screen that says from image version: to image version.
The from version is not filled in, so I think the fault has something to do with this.
After I clicknext 2 times I get the progress screen, but nothing happens then anymore. It keeps showing 0%
If anyone can help me out with this it would appreciate it a lot! And if you need any additional info, please let me know...
Thanks in advance,
Friendly greetings...
you no longer have hspl installed. It was removed by the (failed) stock rom from sd card flash attempt. In bootloader, see your spl ends .0000? that tells you hspl is gone.
Manually enter bootloader, connect usb, count to 20, run hspl2(right click run as administrator), choose 2.08.hspl.
When it completes, re enter bootlaoder (hold down vol as the phone restarts at 100%), wait for bootloader, wait for the word serial -> usb, run your rom flash over usb.
Thanks for the quick reply... as soon as I'm back home I'm going to try it out.. I'll post the result here..
something similiar happened to me some months ago..
should work
DN41
oh, and the reason the "from version" is blank is because that is read from the registry, but we put the phone in bootloader ourselves first so it can't see the registry. that's also why when you flash radios you see rom version info there. it can be ignored.
Do not forget to remove loeimg.nbh from your memory card before trying to flash under windows.
Thanks for the reactions... great to know I am not alone in this...
I performed the actions as described and I got the message "we hacked it"
I then tried to install a stock rom I downloaded but my phone turned off then at 11%
I have the idea that my battery is not loading anymore as I can't see the orange led burning when connected to the adapter/computer.
Ordered a new battery yesterday evening and will receive it normaly/hopefully today by mail. Then I will try again and share the results.
Thanks again all for the great support so far...
check the battery pins closely, hundreds of people have bent them poppng the battery out.
Ok, checked the connection of the pins.. these are ok I think.
Battery-led is still not showing went connected to usb.
So now my screen states the following:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CottulaHSPL 0x40
What rom can I now install? Only an official one?
I tried to download an official rom from the htc website (after inserting my serial), but when I run the
RUU_Leo_Vodafone_NL_1.72.172.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship it shows a message that the file is corrupt.. and this for about 6 times now...
I feel the noob-level is rising extremely now...

.hspl means hspl is installed so you can flash any rom.

[q] need help sending

Hey guys!!!
So im sending my hd2 back to htc for infamous random reboot rapair.

So after searching for a fix i have tried to put and original rom on it and stays stuck at 0%, tried the leoimg on the sd card but still no luck......
My screen reads the following
ruunbh

[Q] Help! Did I bricked my phone?

I bought T-mobile Htc hd2. I tried to flash it but now when I go to bootloader screen It is written "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again". Also It is
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
I am new whis all of this, read a lot of in here, but I dont now what to do. What rom should I try to install firstly? And how? Maybe someone could help? Please...
sounds like the flash failed, shame you didn't include the full name of what you tried to flash, now we'll all just have to guess, and so wont be able to help quite as well.
Easy recover.
get tmobile rom from
http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/Filedownload.aspx?pid=leo2
use the sd card method to flash it.
I tried to flash to v 2.10.531.0, it was succesfull, but the problem with radio started when i tried to flash to v 3.14. What would you sugest me to do? I installed radio 2.08.50... and mgldr 1.13, just when i try to go to menu it doesnt show, only when turn of the phone for sometime. After that i managed to flash DL.Desire.v4.31.44.12 over mgldr, but again it doesnt start after i force to start over mgldr menu it loads until "Load done!" and the "1E FATAL HIT 1" shows up. I dont understand what to do now.
ahh well in that case im sorry to say it sounds more like either hardware or low level microcode or perhaps stuck radio (Look out for radio_rsa fail when flashign from sd card) problems.
My advice would be to get a stock tmous rom and flash it from SD card, and fingers crossed its something that just fixes itself.
Does v 2.13.513.1 will be good to do that?
Sure, , , , ,
Ok, i just flashed to v 2.13.531.1 succesfully, but it stuck on screen "stick together". Maybe someone nows what can i do next? I think that its problem with hardware. Because it was android when i bought it and after i did hard reset in android it did not boot anymore, so maybe something happened with hardware? So what only solution will be to take it to service?
