[Q] White screen and HSPL4 giving error message - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
my htc hd2 is giving a white screen at the startup since today,
when I press volume down and start it shows this:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.3.0000 XE
I can connect it through usb to the pc,
when trying to run hspl4 it gives me
critical error
flow 00000001
Error code 000000002
Description: USB Connect Failed.
any idea how to make it work again>
Thanks!

Are you sure it does not say SPL 3.03.0000 lol just picking I know it does as there is no SPL 3.3.0000. Any way sounds like you may need to update your drivers. You can either go to control panel and device manager and find your phone click on it to make the device drop down then right click on the dropped down device and select update drivers and then select from the internet, or go and download the latest ActiveSynce or WMDC versions as the have the updated drivers.
If this does not work try changing USB ports, changing USB cables, or even change computers. Also are you right clicking on the HSPL.exe and selecting run as administrator?

I followed all your steps, updated everything, and used hspl4 as admin
now I have this
Critical error

Are you flashing using ActiveSynce or are manually putting your HD2 into bootloader and then flashing?

Try hspl2 (or 3 for tmous), I've seen once or twice where hspl4 fails for no known reason. (And vice versa,,, sometimes hspl4 works where hspl2/3 doesn't)

This is a long shot here but run a Task 29 and then while you do not have a ROM on the HD2 try to run the HSPL.exe as administrator agian. Be warned that any info that is not backed up or save will be lost when you run the Task 29, so if you do not want to do it I understand.

trying this one!

can also try downgrading the spl by flashing a correct but lower version stock rom, which would then allow you to try hspl2.
Of course, the quickest easiest (and often very successfull) thing to try would be a different PC. there are dozens of threads where people try everything for hours, no luck, but 2 minutes on a different machine and hspl is installed.

There is something that is not right here and I can not put my finger on it.
There is something not right hear but I can not put my finger on it. I got another digestion, but aftercthis one I think I am going to be tapped out. Take and run the HSPL 4 again but instead of flashing HSPL flash SPL 2.08.0000 and see if it will let you do that. If it will the you should be able to flash. SPL to it then.

Hey rpedro82, I have one more suggestion for you. Now if you don't want to try thisI totally understand as I would be a little leiry about doing it myself. Some of the other members here on XDA that have had the same issue as you of not being able to get past the splash screen and not able to flash anything. This is what they did, they toke and placed their HD2 in a sealed plastic bag and set it in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes then as soon as they took it out they flashed their HD2. I think this helps for two reasons, one if you are having overheating issues it will of course help with that temperarily. Two cold makes things contract so if you are having a issue with the processor and the main board loading connection for whatever reason the cold allows them to restablish the connection at least temporarily.

put it in the freezer, then retried, still stays at 0%
aaarg, its so frustrating,
any more ideas someone?

constant crashing

after installing any of the new roms my phone constantly crashes, and i dont know why...
is there a way to pull up an error log? or someone who would know how to stop it from crashing?
ive tried, DCD 2.1, and nueROM v2, they both crash on me.
searched around, and it said i need to use a relocker after flashing the custom rom?
but i cant find a relocker for the titan.

Have you thought about searching for the term...relocker...? Just a guess.
actually i searched "titan relocker"...
and im actually wanting someone to confirm that could be the problem before i waste another 40 minutes of my life.
now im sad, are you happy?
Yes, yes I am. I had the same problem day one. If the SPL doesn't match up right, your phone will freeze minute or two after it starts up. Mine would not as long as a USB cable was plugged in. Try using this.
Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe
yes, mine seems fine, then i unplug it and it crashes over and over again...
ok...so im using that as an unlocked which is flashing the spl.
then install the ROM, then flash the radio and it should stop crashing?
yes.

k i ran it.
its now telling me, "cannot open usb" after i disabled activesync through usb
oo ya, im on vista
*Sigh* Honest helpful suggestion...don't mess with you're phone anymore. It was written in quite a few threads that Windows Vista is harder to do certain things with and will need special drivers.
i have a pc running xp, i was just being lazy, ill wait till tomorrow then redo this stuff.

Bricked Mogul?

I think my Mogul is bricked after trying the ROM update; after about 7% update Vista kicked off the USB connection and I'm left with a tri-color screen. When I try to reinstall the ROM I get an Error 328 message - Invalid Command. Any help? Thanks!
Definitely not bricked if you can get to the tricolor screen.. which rom exactly were you flashing and what have you flashed so far (unlocker, etc)?
Have you tried updating from the microsd card? That solved a similar problem for me.

What steps have you taken so far? That might help others figure out your problem(I would help but I'm leaving my computer right now)
Just tried to re-cradle and reinstall the update - ROM 3.35.651.2 from HTC's website, and I get the message Invalid Command and it stops the update. Can I run this from the MicroSD card as suggested? Any help very much appreciated!
I have no access to anything on the phone BTW - just the screen and nothing else. The screen has four horizontal stripes - Red, Green, Blue and White. In the red stripe it says TITA100 MFG, SPL-2.03.1000, CPLD-9, and at the top of the screen RUUNBH....
Run Olipros 2.40 bootloader. Than, go back and flash the 3.35. I'm pretty sure you need the 2.40 to load the new ROMs. Yes, just run Olipro's 2.40 while you are in the tri-color screen. Also, make sure you have more than 50% battery life left.
Where do I get the bootloader and how do I run it? Sorry to sound dense, but this is new to me. I have the concept of running the bootload mode - Camera, Power, Reset, so I assume some software needs to be loaded on the MicroSD card? Thanks!
You know, it's fine if you're new to this....everyone starts somewhere...and it's good to see new faces in the community...
But what I don't get is why people insist on just flashing right away without reading and researching. Then they make posts about thinking their phone is bricked, not even knowing what a bootloader is.
My advice before you do anything else is to take an hour and read. Read about how to flash, read about bootloaders, read everything you can find about updating your phone. Then, try and fix your bootloader.
Your phone isn't bricked. A brick is just that, a brick. NOTHING works, not the bootloader, not the buttons, nothing.

i second this emotion
Actually, although I'm new to this forum I'm not new to computers. I'm not as familiar with the inner workings of a handheld. I assume a bootloader is the software necessary to run the ROM flash from the SD card; when I run in bootloader mode, I do get a very brief "image not found", so I assume it's looking for the ROM image on the card. And I'm tracking down Olipros stuff right now through the forums, as well as the recommended reading. With a little written direction I think I can "unbrick" this phone. I did successfully flash another Mogul from a different computer, so assumed it would be as smooth; guess not. For those with the expertise, I certainly appreciate the advice and patience to teach a novice...
Once you find the required bootloader program, just run it as if you are flashing a ROM. Once you get "Olipro 2.40" on your tri-color screen, you'll know that your getting somewhere. But yes search and search and read. I also downloaded everything I think I would need also, just in case.
OK - so far 've tried running the Olipro Bootloader 2.40, but I get "device not connected." Perhaps I should mention I'm running Vista Home Premium, so no ActiveSynch; my PC has Mobile Device Center. I hear the little chime when I connect the Mogul, but the Olipro software doesn't recognize a connection....
I have done all of my flashes on my Vista Home Premium laptop. Make sure you uncheck "allow USB connection" on WMDC. Also, after every failed attempt, take the battery out of your phone for 3 seconds and then reinstall.
Did you mean check "allow USB connections"? WMDC is attempting to connect, but always fails. I was assuming because it doesn't recognize the PDA...
no he meant uncheck....READ!!
start here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9927
Thanks; I have an XP machine I'll try; jacking with the WMDC drivers in Vista would take more time than its worth...
Actually Vista should automatically find and install the required drivers for you. It shouldn't take long. It's well worth the time considering what you are getting yourself into.
First, thanks for the assistance all. Status to date: I have connected to my XP machine and still can't connect the Mogul to ActiveSynch. ActiveSynch won't recognize the device in its current state. I've tried running the bootloader program both with the "USB Connection" option in ActiveSynch on and off; when I run the bootloader I get a popup window that says "No device connected", and a query "Would you like to try copying again?" with button options "Yes", "No" or "Cancel." Clicking "Yes" gives me the same popup. Clicking "No" lets the loader proceed, but has no effect on the Mogul except ultimately it brings up a screen showing the percentage complete which remains at 0, and on the PC it brings up the Recovery screens for the ROM update, which have no effect on the Mogul because I assume no connection has been made. I'm obviously misinterpreting some of the steps?
Any way to run the loader from the MicroSD card? I think someone mentioned it before?
Sounds like you still didnt get Olipro 2.40 into your machine, right?
When you boot it (press camera+power+soft reset) which bootloader do you get showing?
If its 1.06 or something like that you need to flash a (manufacturer) stock rom.
If its 1.20 Olipro then you need to flash a customized pre-3.16 rom. (if you need one pm me and I will give you a link to a clean one for your carrier)
Either way you need to get the rom file called xxxx.nbh. Rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Place that file into the root of a FAT32 formatted sd card. Inster it into your sd card slot and power down and power up the titan. It will automagically read the rom from the card and flash it for you. Same goes for radio nbh files

Thanks for info but help still needed!

The problem I have is that my HD2 used to last for about 48hrs, but after playing around with it as we do with roms! the battery life suddenly drained in hours.
Battery used to last about 48 hrs with a charge time of less than 2 hrs. It then started to last 8hrs with a 4hr charge time, now it lasts 6hrs.
This is with all apps turned off no data connection, only sending txt and quick calls during the day. 100% power at night and it will be dead by the morning!
I have removed all programs and gone back to UK t mobile 1.72 rom, with same results.
I phoned T mobile and they have been kind enough to send me another free battery to solve the problem but to no avail!!!!
I am now going to send it back to get repaired, however HSPL is installed and it is being a proper pain to remove. I have done searches and watched the utube clips, so please dont say use search, as I have done for 2 days now!!
My HD2 will not enter bootloader by the buttons, I HAVE to use the bootloader cab file and install it and do it that way. Next problem is when it asks me to press the power button to start update image, it does not respond to the power button or the down button to cancel! (have to pull battery of to restart)
I have tried lots of renamed ruu_signed files (uk t mobile and htc) on a FAT32 formatted SD card, same problem.
details are as follows
OS version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila version 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date 04/02/10
Radio version 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version 15.32.50.07U
Really need to get rid of HSPL so it can get repaired!!
Any ideas to this strange problem? Anyone experienced this aswell?
Thanks in Advance
AJ
run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000
hspl gone.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I downloaded and tried to install HSPL2 from the search results.
I follow the on screen instructions, as it waits for a USB connection I get an critical error box appear on the laptop.
Flow: 00000001
Error code: 00000002
Description: USB Connect failed!
Freezes on the bootloader screen.
I have tried all 3 USB ports on the laptop and another USB cable to no joy!
Has my phone got gremlins crawling inside it or what!
Any help to save my sanity will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
AJ
normally i would say enter bootloader manually then run hspl but you cant, so, let it fail, then exit hspl, leave teh phone in bootloader, and run it again. You can try over and over, different ports, whatever, no need to re start the phone each time, just leave it in bootloader and connect the usb cable.
As always, the following applies,
1 - right click hspl.exe and choose run as administrator
2 - dont use front mounted usb ports, or ports through hubs, DO use a port around back of the pc (i.e one connected to teh motherboard) EDIT - oh its a laptop, could be problematic, find a friend with a real computer.
Just cos a port works for active sync doesnt mean it will work for hspl, so keep trying ports.
If all else fails use a different pc.
Cancel last, it just worked!!!
Thanks very much for your help.
One question though, now that the spl is 1.66 and the original was 1.42, can they tell that the phone has been tampered with?

you said you upgraded teh rom to 1.72, , well if you hadnt had hspl installed it would have upgraded the spl to 1.66.0000, which is why i said go for that one.

Everything is back to normal. I put it in for warranty repair yesterday, need to wait 2-3 weeks now!

HD2 Bricked Unable to Flash

I got a friends hd2 several days ago and it was stuck on the White splash screen and wouldn't go further.
I tried Hard reset with keys and it didn't helped to get past that screen.
So i decided to flash a new ROM.
First I installed 1.42.HSPL on it to make myself safe and tried to install WWE version but failed at 9 %.
After this i tried near all the steps from another thread on the forum, the one of italian guy who tried almost everything.
Strange thing is that after trying several roms and failing all the times at 9 %, the phone once booted into windows, and i got this information from it:
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
G 15.28.50.07U
Rom 1.48.406.1 (71294) FRE
But after powering it off it didn't boot up another time.
Also there was a small damage on one of the battery pins but I think i managed to get it soldered from outside with soldering iron.
I also tried with MTTY and it didn't work either.
I got the official rom 1.48.406.1 FRE (because this phone is from swiss operator in french language) but it doesn't flash it goes to 9 % and gives error 290.
Ok, i started the thread because I actually wante to ask the question, why i'm unable to get into the Flash process from SD Card.
I formatted SD and copied the LEOIMG.nbh from official ROM and other ROM's too but when i press Reset and hold volume Down key sometimes nothing happens screen is black, sometimes im going into Bootloader with Serial shown and this text:
"Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again" and in the top right corner its written RUUNBH.
Anyone has any idea what could be problem of this device?
Btw I own LEO too and i never faced any problem till now, it was originally in German Language and i flashed it to WWE and didn't get any problems like this one.

Not sure if this is the problem, but what size is your SD card? I've heard, that sometimes is impossible to flash from larger cards, safest way is to use cards up to 2GB...

Friend, try to flash hspl 2.08 !!
Most likely that is the problem.
Enter the bootloader and connect it via usb to your usb and install 2.08 hspl (search fo it on xda developer forum)
Before instaling it read the instruction so that you know that hspl 2.08 can be installed over the old version of hspl that you installed!!
Oh and update radio to atleast 2.07
2.14 is very good
PS
Did you perform task29 before flashing?

I guess I should try to install 2.08 HSPL, do you think i can use the same HSPL installer and just install 2.08 hspl from it? Because i already tried 1.66.HSPL but didn't worked.
And yes i performed task29 two or three times it finishes with some known output message which is stated on the original MTTY thread to be ignored.
Any other ideas?

you have to flash the HSPL back to 1.42 0000 ,then update the HSPL to 2.08 HSPL directly. if you flash it from 1.66. it can not work..pls be noted. good luck to you .hope you leo can be used again.

Ok I installed 2.08.HSPL from 1.42.HSPL and it went successfully, now i see 2.08.HSPL on bootloader but it still fails to update ROM. Stops at 8 % on the phone with rectangle mark, and on the pc it stops at 9 %.
I get Error 290 - Unknown Command
But why i cant go into sd card flash screen when i press reset and volume down ?
I just used another 2 gb microSD and added LEOIMG.nbh from official FRE ROM and it doesnt work.
Hey bud,
I was having the same problem: the flashing didn't want to start by doing a reset+vol.down. I somehow got around this by putting the leoimg.nbh on my mircoSD card, and then started the flashing from my computer by running the .exe that contains the RUU (for ActiveSync flashing). This "magically" triggered the flashing from the mircoSD card (it showed me a screen whether i wanted to update leoimg.nbh). On this screen, pressing vol.down would start the flashing through ActiveSync, and pressing the power button would start the flashing from leoimg.nbh from your microSD card. In the last case, the update on your computer will stall at 0%, this is just because you're not running the update from your computer, but from your phone. On your computer it will time-out, but the update on your phone will continue!
I hope this works! But you're doing this on your own responsibility ;p

Hmmm this kinda messed me up.
What EXE file you run on the pc so it triggered update from SD ?
Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).
So i would say maby you just got it somehow with key kombination, because it would be impossible to run it the way you say. Or maby i'm wrong.
Could you be more specific about how you exactly run that process?
Thanks for your kind help. Gjizaqin
Well, whatever ROM you want to flash,
when you download this ROM, the .nbh file is packed in a .exe file.
You transfer the .nbh file to your microSD (rename to leoimg.nbh), and you can run the .exe file to flash through ActiveSync.
Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).

For me it was possible: reset your phone with the volume button down, to get to the tri-color screen. It shows "serial" on it. When you then connect your phone using your USB cable, it should switch to "USB", after which you can run the ActiveSync flashing.

I have the same problem, tried all sorts with no luck. Can't get SD card install to work either.
Oh this sounds fun, I can no longer run active syn with my leo, the computer reports that my "usb device is not functioning properly"
I have re downloaded sync, try as I might I cant it back up and running, I wish everyone else the best of luck
This might be just a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how it is possible that some SD cards are good for flashing ROM's and other (mostly the larger) aren't?
Do you also need to copy the folder "program files" from the SD card you've flashed the ROM with to the other SD card, when you'd like to use this for your device?

There has been reported problems with some 16GBmSD cards when it comes to flashing from them.
The only thing you need on the mSD card is the LEOIMG.nbh file.

If you boot up your phone to Bootloader mode (but not connected to the computer), the bottom of the screen reads 'Serial'. If you now plug it into the computer, does it change to 'USB'?
Your computer error message is just saying that the computer cannot install a driver to communicate properly with your phone. Since your phone isn't fully loaded into WinMo then your computer isn't going to recognise it as a WinMo device. So don't worry about that message.

[Q] Please help - Vital mistake made while flashing rom

Good evening all!
It seems that I may have made a mistake! Either that or my mind is to tired to think strait! Please help!
Firstly, after having several successful attempts at flashing custom roms/radios and experimenting with my device, I thought I had finally found the ROM of choice! Here's what I have done: performed a task29 run to clean up any straggling files ... normal process right!? No! I forgot the most important step to the process before totally wiping all information off my phone. I formatted my SD card without adding any type of rom to my device before running task29. I've tried running the customRUU tool from my PC and have had zero luck. My phone attempts to boot with none of the red text in the loading screen and just hangs. I can enter the bootloader screen but I still have zero luck on getting anything to work from the customruu tool.
Any information that anyone could willing provide would be greatly apprecaited!! I apologies for wasting anyones time!
Thanks in advance,
Braizy <<<< (Noob!)

Dude, you should be able to hold down the volume down button before powering on the device. You should get to the bootloader screen with no issues and be able to establish an ActiveSync <--> USB connection from there with your PC and flash using the CustomRUU.exe tool.

Next time use FlashaholicRUU as it will perform task29+flash the ROM.. (won't let you proceed if you don't include an .nbh)

That's what I thought as well ... I have my device connected via USB, looking at the bootloader screen as we speak and it's still not showing my anything under ActiveSync. I've tried installing a different Radio as well, still no change.
Here's exactly what I'm looking at on the bootloader screen:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0X50
USB
That's it! I can attempt to boot normal as if I were just powering on the device and I get the white "stick together" t-mobile splash screen.

I tried using FlashaholicRUU just now. I was able to perform the task29 process successfully, I held the volume down button at 100% and let the phone enter into the bootloader screen. I then continue with the on screen prompts from PC to start the ROM update process ... only for the update utility to tell me;
ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN The Update Utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update Utility.

Update:
I was finally able to get it flashed and operational. I found a ROM that had a customRUU packaged with the download and a good radio. I used the Utility in the package and all is working now. Not to pleased with the ROM but it's only temporary. Thanks a bunch for everyone's help and input.
Excuse me while I wipe the sweat from my forehead!
