[Problem] Can't flash any ROM - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a TMOUS 1024MB HD2 that I am trying to flash. I currently have installed HSPL4. Whenever I try to flash a ROM (I've tried two different ones now), the Update Utility program launches, it connects to the phone, the HTC logo comes up on the phone with percentage complete bar, but then it sticks there at 0%. It never progresses, and, eventually, the Recovery mode comes up in the Update Utility citing a connection error, asking me to disconnect, remove and reinstall my battery, and re-start the process. When I remove and reinstall the battery, my phone always boots up fine with no problems, but it will not flash a new ROM. I have tried SPL 2.08.0000 and SPL 3.03.0000. Both versions will install fine but neither will allow a ROM to flash. Any idea what my problem might be? Thanks for your help.

both stock spl's, meaning dont allow flashing.
re run the hspl.exe program, (hspl4 i assume) and change the dropdown from x.xx.0000 to one like x.xx.HSPL

HD2 Bricked - Empty white screen

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC HD2, thing is that the phone it's not booting correctly, all i got when i power on the device, it's an emty white screen... without the green HTC letters.
I got installed a cooked ROM, BsB Beast 6.1, with radio 2.12.50.02_2, and i was running Android from SD when all this **** started, two weeks ago. The phone battery ran out while i was on Android, a couple of hours later... i got home and plugged the phone for charging. When i pressed the power button, the phone boots with that blank screen.
I can get into the bootloader, and it's showing this info (whitout the underscores):
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
_____________0x05
_____________0x30
CotullaHSPL
I've tried many different things and none seems to do anything at all:
- First of all, i did a hard reset. The process ends OK but the phone stays doing the same
- Then, i tried to flash again the same ROM i was using. I was unable to do that by using CustomRUU and PC connection. The phone it's detected by the PC, and the bootloader screen shows that it's conneted by "USB". Then, i executed the CustomRUU app, following all the steps and, when the phone should start flashing the progress bar doesn't get past 0%, both the phone display and PC. After a few minutes, CustomRUU gives an error saying "timeout" connection. I've tried to do this from different USB ports and different PCs with the same result.
- After those fails, i tried to flash again the cooked rom from SDCARD. The process ends OK, saying "Update Complete". Then, i rebooted the phone but the blank screen remains the same way. That cooked ROM doesn't have radio.
- After that, i decided to flash a stock ROM. First, i tried to make a "Task 29" to the phone, but i got the same problem than with the cooked ROM. The progress bar doesn't get past 0%. With the stock ROM the problem was the same again. Then, i tried to flash the stock ROM from SDCARD. The process stops at X% saying 0018003 RADIO - FAIL. I've got this error each time i try to flash a ROM with radio or a radio itself.
- I was able to do a "task 29" by using MTTY, but nothing changes when i try to flash any ROM after that.
- i've tried to upgrade my HSPL, by using both HSPL2 and HSPL3. Both programs detects my version of HSPL, then the process starts and ends saying "Succesfully done" but nothing changes in my bootloader, it's still saying that i got 1.42.HSPL
Since i can get to the bootloader, i hope to have any chance to get this device back to life.
I've readed some posts here and within other forums, i've tried with many different cooked or stock ROMS but nothing works
I hope to find help here, thanks in advance and, sorry if my speaking it's not 100% correct
yet another "i was running android and...........now my phone won't boot".. thread. makes me glad i don't bother with android...tried it once and had to hard reset, never touched it since, heh.
for the sticking at 0%,and timeouts etc, try and always enter bootloader yourself, then wait for serial to become usb, and then run customruu. this way you can also visually confirm hspl is there(or not there, depending what you are doing) and it should cure certainly the timeouts.
if i were you, i'd concentrate on getting back to stock, and start over.(only skimmed your post, i'm mobile, so sorry if i say something you already did.)
get into bootloader, get rid of hspl if it s there,(run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000) then back into bootloader(you should soon get used to holding vol down as each stage completes to reenter bootloader) then try flash your CORRECT stock rom via usb. if that fails try it using the sd card method.
Thanks for answering, samsamuel.
I haven't looked into the Android section for threads with the same problem i got, maybe i should have started that way
Each time I enter the bootloader, i'm doing as you've said (believe me... in these days i've become a "master" on pushing power button with vol. down )
I always wait for the bootloader to finish loading, then i plug the phone to my PC, wait again for "Serial" turns into "USB" and, then, start the flashing process.
I'll try to do what you said with HSPL2, to select 1.66.000. Each time i've tried with different HSPLs, i've selected 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL... so, i guess i should try with that.
I'll be updating this thread as soon as i got news.
/me edit
I must to say, that Android was running "fine" (some minor problems when trying to wake up the phone, but nothing critical apart from this disaster). By the record, i didn't have installed dual boot... the phone always boots into WinMo
Hi again,
I have tried to update my SPL to 1.66.000 without success, despite what HSPL2 says ("Succesfully done")
Any thought about this? I can't understand why those programs are saying "OK" but are doing nothing
thanks in advance
not seen it first hand but have read several threads where the update seems to work but nothing changes. not really sure as to cause or cure, sorry.
I wonder if is there a way to make HSPL2 / HSPL3 to leave traces or any log of what they are doing... in order to see why my phone is ignoring them
Little bump, looking for more help
Is this the right subforum to post this things?

[Q] [HELP] Problem with T-Mobile HD2 and Can't Flash any 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 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

[Q] Is my phone bricked??

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

[Q] Bricked Trying to Revert to Stock WinMo

I think I may have bricked my OG HD2 (T8585) while trying to undo everything I had done to it, which was HSPL, MAGLDR and a NAND Android ROM.
It all started when I first tried to flash Kingdom's Sense 3.0 Gingerbread ROM. It told me to create a 340MB partition using HD2 Toolkit which I did. I then flashed the ROM as per the instructions, but it kept getting stuck on the boot logo so I decided to go back all the way to stock WinMo.
I downloaded a stock 1.66 ROM from HTC's website, tried to flash it via USB which failed because I obviously have no ActiveSync in Android. So I loaded the image onto my SD card and tried to flash by holding Vol Down and Power.
That was the first sign of trouble, about 1/10th during upgrade process it gave me some errors and rebooted to a black screen with a silver warning triangle.
Trying to go back into bootloader, I got the message about "upgrade ROM code error."
Since it had reverted back to SPL 1.42 I tried to reflash HSPL2 through USB, which worked fine, got the "We bricked it " message and everything. But then I tried to install MAGLDR and nothing, it fails even though it recognizes the USB connection.
So what can I do? On the one hand my device can accept and load HSPL2 and my computer is recogonizing the USB connection, but other than that nothing, it won't even turn on without being connected to external or USB power.
I also tried installing stock 1.43 ROM and that goes fine, it gives me an okay on everything but it gets stuck in the white HTC bootscreen in a loop.
I know I probably made a huge glaring mistaking to cause this, it's probably because I've bought a Transformer tablet and a Galaxy S2 in the last month so the steps regarding the HD2 were probably a bit of a blur. I guess the stock ROM probably included a radio that I wasn't supposed to flash, causing my device to be bricked.
But is there anyway I can get some type of OS working on this poor HD2 now?
She lives!!!
Okay, I'm not actually sure if the problem is solved but I'm back in WinMo 6.5 for the time being.
Since it had been off for a few hours I tried my luck again, plugged it into the wall and saw that it was stuck in the boot loop again. But I got distracted and left it, and when I came back it was on the orange WinMo setup screen.
Not sure what happened to make it go from not even getting power from the battery to working normally. But I see now my radio version is 2.05 which is massively old, I'm going to try and upgrade that first and see... hopefully it won't go back to being dead the moment I power down.

I had pretty much the same problem as you, but mine is the tmobile us version. I tried flashing back winmo from android via sdcard method but i got an upgrade error. I tried flashing with microSD card sizes 8gb, 16,gb, and then 2gb which was recommended, but still no luck. I managed to connect the hd2 through usb on the tricolor screen and flashed back to hspl2.08 and magldr and cwm were still on. But i would like to still get back to winmo stock as if it came from tmobile.
My question is if i download the latest update from tmobile which is T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), what is the correct spl i should have installed on the hd2 so that htc and tmobile wont know that i messed with the spl? is it 3.03? I was going to connect via USB on the tri color screen again, run the EXE and manually install the SPL? I just need to know which SPL to install after i run the latest winmo update. Please advise on the SPL and the method i'm going to take on reverting back to winmo. Thanks.

So it sounds like you lucked out, huh? So your HD2 works at least? I believe if you succesfully flash an official ROM like from T-Mobile, it will replace everything including the SPL back to stock - this is what I was trying to do by flashing official 1.43, to go back to factory mode.
I seem to be worse off than you though. I posted last night how my HD2 was back up running WinMo, but as suspected the moment I rebooted it was back stuck in the boot loop.
Any ideas? I wish I could get the HD2 working again so I could set it aside and get to playing with my new Galaxy S2.
This is driving me crazy now...
I managed to flash HSPL 2.08, and then MAGLDR 1.3, and then CWM recovery on top.
But this still seems bricked to me, still needs external power to turn on and I can't actually flash a working ROM... flashing a ROM via USB gives connection error and flashing via SD card goes fine but gets stuck in a boot loop.
What can I do at this point short of tossing the phone? I've tried stock 1.48, stock 1.66, a bunch of radios from 2.05 to 2.15... everything.
I am doing some research but the only results I find are T-Mo HD2s being bricked by the wrong radio. I have an original HD2 and I never flashed a radio intended for another HD2 model, so how is my phone so bricked all of a sudden?
All the threads I've found say if you can get into the bootloader then there's some hope but I doubt it because I can't successfully flash anything with it. I don't even know how I managed to get back into WinMo briefly last night... think my HD2 is probably just toast.
Okay, I finally solved my problems for sure - bent charging leads in the battery compartment!
Anyone having boot issues, take out your battery and look at the metal leads and you will probably find them bent out of shape. They are incredibly flexible, so just make them straight again and it will work. I assume it cuts external power briefly right before booting into WinMo, which is why it was rebooting constantly.
So I suppose for me this was a huge case of confusion, I got all confused with bootloaders and MAGLDRs when the problem wasn't even software related.

The problem with my hd2 is the CPU is overheating thus causing it to freeze or lock up, and gets it annoying. After hours of searching on XDA, that's what seems to be the problem. I can't even talk on the phone for more than ten minutes or else locks up. So my idea was to get it back to winmo stock and see if it still locks up. If it does then i will probably try to send it back to HTC and see if they send another one maybe or fix it.
Ive had no luck luck flashing back to winmo from sdcard so i think i should try flashing back to winmo via usb on the tri color screen. Ive read on XDA that if you flash winmo via usb that it doesn't replace your SPL, and you have to run HSPL4 and flash it manually. I'm just not sure which SPL i should flash. I'm assuming 3.03 maybe?
What you could try is using an sdcard that is 2gb or less. Ive read that anything higher than 2gb will cause issues. I'm still a noobie at this rooting biz. Hope that helps.

Which model HD2 do you have?
Find and download the stock ROM from this thread, get 1.66 since it will work with HSPL2 which is the latest HSPL that will work with MAGLDR (for Android and WinPhone7).
You can flash that through SD card and it will go back to total stock, including stock SPL. I assume you know how to pull the .nbh file from the ROM you download, so just rename to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SD card.
Go into the tri-color screen and it should flash fine and give you factory reset. This is where it wasn't working for me, but not because I had flashed the wrong ROM or something but because I had messed up the charging leads in the back while popping the battery in and out to reboot as I was flashing.
Man I downloaded 1.66 last nite and tried to flash back to winmo from android and its toast. Not sure what went wrong. Oh well.

HD2 boot problem

Hello,
I have bought used HTC HD2, which I had to repair - classic touch problem (I haven't repaired it myself). What surprised me, after the phone returned to me, it has "T-mobile" glass, but it hasn't red "dismiss call" button... So everything says it is EU version...
I wanted to install WP7.8. The phone had HSPL 2.08 and some custom WM6.5 rom. I had done Task29 and installed Magldr 1.13 (with HD2 toolkit), then I have enabled last 24mb nand and cleared mbr sd card in magldr. Everything seemd to be fine. Then I had selected usb flasher and run DWI.exe of Pdaimatejam ROM on PC. It installed, but after "Reset Now" had appeared on the phone, it didn't reboot. :/ I have pulled out battery but phone got into bootloop. Than I have repeated tasks from Task29, now it rebooted itself but still bootloop.
So I have decided to return to WM6.5 and start again. I have downloaded that RUU: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_3.14.479.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship I have entered hspl, then run ruu on the computer, it installed successfully but the phone doesn't boot again (white bootscreen, and reboot) :/ . I have tried again, now error occurred during installing, luckily despite hspl error, I could install rom again, but bootloop again occurs...
What should I do now? :/ I am afraid of battery level...
After installing official RUU, HSPL has stayed, is that ok?

now i assume that you are in windows mobile,you still be able to charge while your phone off if you are in windows mobile mode.
1. How can you be sure if you're device is EU models?please re-HSPL your device with HSPL 4 and install Black LK find out how much is your ROM space,remeber that part of EU and t-mobile was almost the same.
2. Your bootloop problem could be because you've installed wrong ROM in to wrong Device OR due to MMC,to check it,after flasing windows mobile ROM try to reboot,if you got bootloop try to remove MMC than reboot (it works for me)
3.If you are trying to install Windows Phone and got the bootloop,it might be because of the MMC (class,brand,etc.) try to find more information regarding this in Windows Phone section.
Hope it helps
