Hey guys, let's see if you can help me.
My phone is dead, probably hardware failure. I last ran MAGLDR on it, and it was starting to tweak out. Random reboots, not booting up, etc. I flashed it back to stock about six months ago and it was still rebooting and dying but the rom did boot. Since then, for whatever reason and without actual use of the phone, the hardware problem has become MUCH worse. I can no longer boot into WinMo but can 1 in 20 tries boot into the HSPL screen/bootloader.
I need to send it back into HTC before the 28th of October and I don't want them to see Cotulla HSPL on screen. I've never overclocked or so much as used the phone for a long period of time, and I'm extremely gentle to electronics, so I don't know what the problem is.
I've been trying to flash back via this method.

I don't think the rom is right for my device, so I haven't used it. I own a TMOUS HD2 and the rom this guy has is a WWE rom. I don't know if this is safe to flash. Anyway, I went ahead and downloaded the latest TMOUS stock rom which unzips as an executable. I then ran the EXE, and it unzips the RUUXXXX.nbh file into C root--at least that's where I found it. I copied the file to root of the SD (FAT32) and renamed it LEOIMG.nbh. When I boot into the bootloader tri-color screen, it finds the image but only gives me an option for flashing the OS. In the youtube vid the guy flashes all sorts of things. When I flash the OS, it doesn't replace the HSPL. Does anyone have a LEOIMG that includes the SPL for a regular TMOUS? His RUU is 266 mb and mine is 5.
Any thoughts? I've scavenged the internet and I can't find a good nbh file that works.

thats wrong, you have a corrupt download or something, whats the filename before you extracted it? Go to t-mobile.com and download again. Instead of running the .exe and finding the file in c drive, you can just change the filename extension from .exe to .zip and it will open as a zip file.
I found an RUU that is 200 something MB. It has all that he had on his. It is also a TMOUS version. The problem I am having is the thing freezes after about a fifth of the installation completes, time and time again. I believe the image is good. I think the NAND on my HD2 is permanently messed up. When I access the tricolor screen now it tells me that the update failed and to please try again, and cotulla is still printed at the top. Any thoughts? Do you think HTC checks these? I sent in a Nexus One in and they sent me a new one back, no questions asked, even though the bootloader was unlocked.
I have to send this in very soon, since it expires the 28th of Oct.
all you can do is try all the tmous roms from the 't mobile test and stock roms'' thread, but not teh first three in eth list.
if all else fails you can try flashing a non tmous stock rom, which will brick teh phone, BUT will also brick bootloader, so they wont be able to see cotulla, which is the ionly thing they are interested in.
DISCLAIMER - flashign a non tmous stock rom WILL brick your tmous. The point being it will not boot at all, completely dead, so tey cant see the spl has been hacked.
Sounds like a plan.
That didn't work. The UK rom exe freezes at 1%. Returning to the bootloader I still see Cotulla's name. Ideas?
EDIT: After the third or fourth attempted flash it now says software update failed with an exclamation point and a triangle, and the only way to access the tricolor screen is to have a LEOIMG on an sd card and hit cancel. There it says cotulla. I'm going to try to brick it more with a .51 radio just to be safe.
Thanks for your help guys. The phone pretty much bricked itself. I couldn't flash the .51 radio because it stopped turning on after a while. I sent it into HTC and they repaired it, no questions asked. Now as long as it doesn't fail again... I may get an EU version because those seem to be a little bit more reliable...
Thanks again! Thread can be closed.

I was handed what looked like a brand new I-MATE JasJam, except I was told that it was crashing a lot and could not make phone calls.
After reading lots of different posts on this site I have determined that the Radio's firmware is corrupt. There is "NO GSM" on bootup and no IMEI being listed.
I have been trying the last few days to flash the radio with a new version of firmware but have yet to get past 0%. I have had success flashing the device with Black 3.5 but the radio is still not flashing.
I have simunlocked and SuperCID the phone with success and I have tred USB Monitoring when I attempted to flash the radio device and have seen "AUX_process-FAIL..".
Before I keep trying with alternative ways of programming the RADIO is there anything I can do to determine that the RADIO is physically installed and electronically responsive. My concern is that perhaps the radio's hardware is broken and no amount of flashing attempts will ever bring it back.
Currently
IPL - 1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro (I can install 2.10 if required..)
CID=SuperCID (Level 0)
Can Boot to OS ? Yes
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi man,
welcome to club!we have same problem and haven't found the escape way yet.you can see it here( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338413) and share your experiences.I hope we can find the solution.
How say Hamed, welcome to the club...But first look instructions on the wiki. For me and Hamed, there is no solution for now. Mean on the software way, to solve problem.
Hi
Used to happenb to me. I always flash bu sd card way. Just put the radio image on sd card in nbh format. Rename it to HERMIMG and go into bootloader. It will put the radio on. Alayas fails for me when i use the customruu
your radio bootloader is dead, you're basically screwed.
Thanks, thats all I wanted to know.
Appreciate your time.
Its not dead. Use the sd card method. My phone is back from the dead !

then quite clearly... your radio bootloader wasn't screwed.
Sorry I think you misunderstood. All im saying is that mine used to stop at 0% Every single time using windows to flash. I started using the sd card and it would freeze as well but kept trying and trying and eventually it would start to flash. Usually on sd card method it would freeze around 12% but then eventually go on and update success.. Try the sd card way and it may work. Remember I had the same problem , no gsm , no imei etc

Indie, can you please tell us which rom you try to flash via sd card? Are you use nbh tool v101 to extract shipped rom, only radio part on sd card, or you boot completely rom t-mobile wm 6 (which version???)? Please give to us details.

I would flash the htc official wm6 rom, or get any of the extracted radio roms from the wiki. Now i have the official tmobile wm6 rom uk rom somewhere on this site. I just put the radio or whole rom in nbh format onto sd card and rename it to HERMIMG. then go into bootloader and it will do the rest itself. The exe files from the official tmobile rom get extracted to your temp folder and creates the nbh format. Just copy it from there
Remember if it freezes , keep trying. I once had to try 10 times before it did my radio. i would wait 10 mins at a time for gsm. if it doesnt move by then its froze. reset and try again

I think that my radio bootloader is dead, because when I try in mtty rtask a and then rversion I get nothing in USB monitor. Is my radio bootloader dead, and is there now a soluiotn for recovering radio bootloader?
Well based on what others are saying in this thread; yes, you flash the radio or rom via SD Card instead of activesync, and you do so by going into bootloader manually...read the thread.
I tried that, but its the same. It stops on 0%. I saw that others that had this problem had a functional radio bootloader (0107 or 0108). Mine is corrupt!
FIXED! Read below for details.
So i've been messing with my mogul for nearly 4 hours now trying to convert it to dcd's rom..and i've flashed it twice now and after it reboots from being 100% loaded it just sticks on the HTC black screen..I've read and read and searched and searched and cannot find a definite answer. Can anyone help?!
basics?
did you load the radio rom?
did you load the unlocker?
you may need to restart the phone to the boot loader and resend the rom
(press and hold camera and power and push reset button)
I did TRY and reload the radio and unlocker..now im stuck at the black htc screen where it says no radio though. bleh. i can't even get it back up and running. what do i do?
edit:
I'm at the multi color screen..ive tried running the unlocker RUU and then running dcd's ruu and it doesn't work..and the radio RUU does not run at this screen...I can't get the phone back to a working status! Argghhhh. It wont let me run the relocker unless im in activesync...but i can't be recognized in activesync unless the phone is up and functional..so..? how do i relock it to put hte stock rom on to try and unlock again?
I am kinda stuck in the same spot, but mine is is the verizon logo screen, i tryed doing the power,camera and hte reset button but its till stuck, i tryed the relocker but i need to be in active sync
any help?
what i dont get is..i flashed it with the unlocker, then the rom then the radio...isn't RUU just overwriting each one or something? it doesn't make sense to me. and all i can do is run RUU..i did the rom, then the radio and it was stuck in the bootloader so i used the exitbl and got out of it but then it just went back to going to the HTC black screen saying no radio. ..i'm gonna try and flash the rom from a sd card next..we'll see what happens..

This just happened to me after flashing the ROM but not the RADIO yet. Flashing the Radio fixed the problem.
I've flashed the radio..then its stuck in the BL and i use the program to get me outta it then it just keeps saying i have no radio! what the hell..this sucks. i'm in the worst possible situation to have to buy a new phone
There are three parts to the "operating system" of your phone.
1. Bootloader (also called locker, unlocker, re-locker, SPL)
2. Radio
3. ROM
The three components are saved in discrete portions of the device's memory. Flashing one does not overwrite the others. All three must be compatible for the phone to operate properly. If you stop the upgrade process recommended by the ROM compiler prior to completion, your phone may not operate properly. If you flash the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, it contains all three components.
To use the 3.16 stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on the stock OEM 3.16 ROM, you must have a level 3.xx radio and a level 2.xx bootloader. The current implementations of those are the 3.27 radio and either the stock bootloader distributed with the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, or the Olipro 2.40 unlocker.
If you are running a level 2.xx stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on a stock 2.xx OEM ROM, you must have a level 1.xx bootloader and a level 1.xx radio.
Custom ROMs are not always named using the OEM convention, so you must research the custom ROM to determine whether it is based on a level 2.xx or 3.xx stock OEM ROM.
I hope this helps all of you get your phones back up and running.
FIXXXED!
So heres the best description I can give of what was going wrong for me..Its my first time trying flash to a different rom..and well it didn't go so well. First, I used the titan unlocker, then installed the radio (not sure which one) and then some form of the newer dcd rom and i was getting stuck on the black HTC smart mobility splash screen where it said "no radio". I had to have messed around for over 5 hours today at college trying to figure it out by doing different arrangements what order i installed the radio and unlocker and rom in. I couldn't get it to connect with activesync so i couldn't use the titanunlocker.exe..all i was going off of was RUU's. Im not sure whether or not what OS I was using effected it..I was playing in Vista earlier today but had done the correct steps to install the drivers, and now this last time i did it on XP. This last time I ran the 3.27 radio RUU as found.. here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362563 )...Theeen I ran this form of the newer sprint ROM. (I'm pretty sure they say it comes with a included in this RUU, but i'm just stating exactly what I did) the .651 rom can be found.. HERE ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806 ) He had a error when packing or something so you have to manually rename it to .exe because it was missing a e..I did this within winrar before extracting..ran that and about 10 minutes later it booted up and i've got service. I'm not going to promise that this is 100% functional all i'm saying is im out of that horrid black HTC screen where I can now go on to try and get the correct rom i wanted. Hope this helps..may be a bit confusing and probably did things wrong but this was my first time doing it all.
Before I start I did searches and looked at all the posts that apply to this situation and could not find anything. After spending many hours searching decided to try posting.
Situation:
I have a Verizon xv6800 that I am trying to update so I can have GPS. The first thing I did was to flash the OLIPRO 2.4 ROM. After the flash was complete everthing seemed OK but the power button no longer worked to turn the phone on. Also if you called the phone it would not ring.
The next thing I tried was to use an SD card to load nuespl 2.47. Again everything seemed OK but the power button still did not work.
Then I loaded OLIPRO 1.2 ROM and now everything seems work perfectly including the power button.
The boot screen verifies that the OLIPRO 1.2 is loaded.
Now I am confused as to which radio I should be using since the "Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!! " post said not to use OLIPRO 1.2.
Can any body tell me the next steps I should do to get an upgraded radio?
Please make it simple since obviously I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for any assistance.

Ok no worries about the newbie thing. We all were newbies at one time!
First it sounds like the 2.40 flash did not completely go well. So since you are back to 1.20 I would upgrade in this order:
1) First update your radio to 3.42.50. This is the latest radio and seems to help with phone service issues. At least that is what I have seen. You will need the RUU install files so I attaching RUU.zip for this. Unzip this and then when you download the upgraded radio drop that file into this directory and then flash. If successful your phone should display 3.42.50 at boot time.
2) Next upgrade to 2.40 of the unlocker. I am attaching the install I use, so unzip the file and then run it to install/upgrade your phone. If successful your phone should show 2.40 when done.
3) Now you are ready to persue a ROM or kitchen that is GPS capable. There are many of them. I am currently using DCD's 3.26 kitchen but No2Chem also has a 5067 kitchen that is very stable. If you have questions about this process do not hesitate to email me at [email protected].

I did step one and everything seemed OK. Took several minutes with progress bar and exited normally. The boot screen indicates 3.42.50 as per instructions. But now the phone gets stuck at the white verizon screen. Should I proceed to step 2?
Thanks

Move on to step 2. Quick question...is the current ROM the stock VZW ROM or one from XDA?
Steve
Actually he gave you the instructions backwards. (Tho his method may work, it's just not what the Wiki says to do) You always update the bootloader first, then the radio, then the rom. The new radio requires a new bootloader (hence why it's locking up), go ahead and reinstall BL2.4, if that doesn't work, see if you can find an older non-gps radio, and flash it via the SD card. Once you get back to either an old bootloader and old radio, or a new bootloader and a new radio, then you will have better success getting the rom flashed.
You were fine actually with your original 2.40 install, it will boot once normally, however as soon as it goes to sleep or you turn it off it won't turn back on, a soft reset will get it back up, but it will keep crashing. So at that point you can flash the radio and ROM from the Bootloader screen.
If you can get 2.40 (actually get 2.47 if you can, worse case use 2.40 and upgrade the radio and rom to the new version, then run 2.47 from the pocketpc and it will update you to 2.47 (I just did this yesterday).
So reflash to 2.40 if you can, otherwise do some searching for an old radio (non-gps) and flash it.
Then go back and re-read the wiki, it tells you that you have to flash the bootloader, then the radio, then the rom. It's always in that order for a first time flash. Once thats all done, any future updates should only require a single flash (for radio or rom).

The issue with reversing steps 1 and 2 is that the Olipro 2.40 does not allow the ability to update the radio ROM. You have to back down to 1.20 and then do the radio. That has been the case for the last two radios I have upgraded to. So that is why I put it in the order I did.
Steve
Ah ok, well, I had 2.40 installed for over a month and have updated my radio 3 times (tho I did it via SD card), I assume you meant it doesn't work via USB (and I remember now seeing posts that talked about that)
I stand corrected. His way should work. Just the phone will not boot properly until all 3 items are updated to GPS compatible files, BL 2.40+ Radio 3.42+, Rom 3.x. Prior to all 3 being updated tho, you should be able to flash from the bootloader, so boot into it and flash from there until all 3 are updated.
Once all 3 are flashed, your phone should work normally.

Yes via USB since SDHC cards are not supported and I do not have a regular SD card. I really should buy one...they are cheap now.
Steve
I reloaded the original radio using a sd card and now the phone works again. Can I load OLIPRO 2.40 using a SD card? If so how.
Thanks
Ken
Not that I am aware of (tho I don't know everything....), I flashed 2.4 from my PC via activesync, let it reboot, and then had to run out and get a flash card and flash card reader (in order to format it correctly) then was able to flash the radio, and then flashed the rom via Activesync. (I just remembered that I had to flash my radio from SD card, I had completely forgotten until I stopped to remember why I bought the memory card reader)
If you have it working with your old rom, then I would copy 2.47 BL over to your phone in windows and run it, it will flash the bootloader for you (tho it requires a preformatted SD card (not SDHC)). It will offer to format it for you if you can't get it formatted correctly yourself. If it's already in the right format, it doesn't have to be empty as it will just copy the file, reboot, and delete the file automatically. If it's not in the right format and you have stuff on it already, copy it off to your harddrive, then put it back in and it will format it for you. Once it's formatted correctly, it will still work normally in the phone and on your PC, so it's worth it to get the SD card into the right format.
Once 2.47 is installed, boot into BL mode (camera, power and reset button), and then do the rest of the flashing over USB. It will auto-reboot after each flash, so keep going back into BL mode until after you get the rom flashed. Then let it boot normally, LET IT RUN CUSTOMIZATION (pending you are installing DCD's rom) If you are installing another carrier's rom, then never let customization run (unless it's your carrier). Once customization is done running, install your carrier's cab file, this is pretty important or the phone won't properly work, I would do one more soft reset and at that point your phone is all ready to go and you can set it up, and install your programs.

I wish I had known that the power button wouldn't work untill all three steps were complete. Because of that I got concerned that I may have screwed up the phone and started trying all sorts of things to fix it (probably making it worse in the process).
Now that I know how to get back to the original ROM & Radio if something happens I will try again to get the GPS working.
Thanks Billy the Cat and stevefxp
Ken
No problem. I was like you the first time I started to flash my phone, I had just gotten the BL installed and then had to leave, my phone wouldn't stay running so my wife got extremely mad at me because she would call and since the phone wouldn't turn on it would go to VM. It took me a while to get her to appreciate my phone again, til then it was "A huge waste of money" in her opinion.
Since then tho, I have shown her the great features of being able to search for an item on ebay when we are at an auction to get an idea of a item's value before bidding, been able to take pictures and email them to her at no cost (old phone was $.25 per message), and having the GPS makes it much easier to find some of these remote auction locations we go to.
So after all that, shes not screaming at me for buying the phone anymore, tho she still isn't happy I spent the money. Oh well, she fritters more money away than I do, so I don't have a problem buying something that will last me for 2 years with the amount that shes frittered away in a week many times.

I am still having the same problem with the white Verizon screen. These are the steps I took.
1. Reloaded the original radio 1.30.60 using the SD card approach
phone worked
2. Reloaded the original ROM 1.6.7
phone worked
3. Loaded nueSPL-2.47 using the sd card
Red/Blue/Green screen had:
TITA100
SPL-2.47No2Chem TITAN SPL EVT
CPLD - 9
4. Loaded radio 3.42.50 using the SD card
Verizon white screen has
M 09 P DCAAXOM - 4350
H3B60775B R 3.42.50
D 2.17
The phone now still hangs at the white Verizon screen. I really thought I knew the process but clearly I still do not understand something.
Any help??
every thing is ok, load a gps compatible phone rom like dcd 3.2.6 using the cd card method and it will work after that
I have the 3.2.6 kitchen downloaded from DCD1182 but I can't find the nbh file unless it is the RUU_signed.nbh file and I just have to rename it to TITAIMG.nbh
If that's not it where can I download the 3.2.6 nbh file.
Thanks

That is it.....
You guys are great. The phone is working again and has radio 3.42.50 and ROM 3.2.6 on the white screen so I guess everthing is correct now.
I also loaded the Verizon CAB to get internet and reprogrammed the phone with *228
I have one last question. What happened to the battery indicator in the upper right hand corner?
I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me. I read all the instructions but knowing nothing about what I was doing there is some information that would have been very helpfull if I had only known.
1. If you get in troubble you can reload the original radio and ROM to get the phone working again.
2. You really need to complete all the steps before you can expect the phone to work properly. I kept trying to test the phone at each step to make sure that it still worked. This approach got me in all kinds of trouble.
3. Don't panic if something doesn't seen right just ask the experts on this board. They have a wealth of knowledge on how to get out of trouble.
4. Make sure you have a micro SD card on hand before you start.
5. While it didn't answer all my questions read the WIKI flashing documentation completely before you start.
Again - thank you everyone for helping me to get my phone upgraded.
Ken
you can get the battery by changing the registry.
hklm/software/microsoft/shell/showtitlebarclock.
not sure what all the setting do. mine is set to 0 and i have the battery icon.
alternatively you can use htc home customizer to change the value for you.
Phone's bootloader info:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
Also, I think I have the 1024 Leo, bought from T-Mobile with the Green/Red call/hangup buttons.
Can anyone help me with the downgrade?
From the official HSPL thread I read
"It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM
with this SPL version."
Can someone help a noob with this process? I've never flashed b4!
Also, my phone currently won't load and is stuck on the "stick together screen"
cakinlife,
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Out of curiosity, why do you want to downgrade to 1.42 SPL?
After reading some guides, I think I need to downgrade to 1.42 in order to install HSPL don't I?
After that, I want to install android.
EDITTTTT
Hold up, I just continued reading some other stuff and found out I don't need to downgrade.
Problem is my phone gets stuck on the "Stick Together" screen. How do I install HSPL if I can't get phone to load?
Any tips? Thanks

That's correct. With the most recent HSPL4, you can go direct to 2.08.HSPL or 3.03 (2.08 if you wanna go Android)

Has this phone ever booted up? Have you flashed something previously which caused this condition? Radio?
In any case, I'm assuming you can get into bootloader, so you can just try running HSPL4 on your computer with your HD2 in bootloader mode-- that should allow you to install HSPL, and you can see if this rectifies the loading problem and then go from there. Alternatively, you can try starting totally from scratch by installing an appropriate factory/shipped ROM (with proper radio) from the microSD card (see the flashing thread for instructions). If this brings your phone back to a working baseline, then:
1)Flash HSPL
2)Flash your desired custom WinMo ROM and
3)install Android ROM on SD
**OR**2)Flash your desired NAND Android ROM (first taking care of incidentals like MAGLDR, etc-- as per Android flashing instructions)

HTH/ Good luck
Thanks RDionysus, I really appreciate all the info.
I'm going to try and go straight to HSPL4 from the bootloader.
I've actually never tried to flash anything, it just all of a sudden stopped booting on me which brought me to wanting to mod it
Going to try your suggestions, tytyty!
Hope it works out. Let us know!
So far I've installed HSPL and flashed the "NRG Engergize rom"
I'm still getting stuck on the bootup, now its stuck on the "NRG Energize" logo instead of the "Stick Together" logo.
I feel like I need to go back to stock to get that working baseline. How do I go about this step?
Should I go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717
and download all the files under "Leo 1.48 ROMs" ?

NONONONO!!!
If you have a tmous the ONLY stock roms you can flash are tmous roms from T-Mobile.com or the tmous section here on xda.
Astock rom that is not tmous will destroy your phone.
This includes every rom in that thread.

Whoa thank you so much for letting me know!
I downloaded the upgrade "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1"
Do I just bootloader the phone and run the upgrade?
Correct ...
Hey sam,
The official Tmobile rom is an .exe tho.
Its not the usual format .nbh
What should I do?

its actually an executable zip, not really a .exe.
If you rename the extension to .zip, it will open in whatever zip program you have installed, and you will see about 9 files inside, one of which is RUU_Signed.nbh, around 220meg size, its way the biggest file in there, you cant miss it,. , thats the rom(and radio and splash and spl), extract that and rename it, copy it to sd, and enter bootloader. The other files are the program that performs the flash over USB.
Thanks a mil, Im gonna try when i return from classes
So I reflashed the T-mobile rom with success however I still get stuck at the stick together screen even with a fresh install.
Anyone have any tips?
After reviewing the thread, I would consider a strong possibility that there is something wrong with the hardware. But before throwing in the towel, here's what I would try first:
REMOVE the SIM card and any SD card you have in the phone. Perform a hard reset. If you still get hung at the "stick together" screens then try...
RE-FLASH the stock (baseline) rom you obtained earlier, but this time first hook the phone up to your computer and perform a Task 29, then flash, and finally hard reset. Don't skip any steps, and leave out of the phone both your sim card and the microSD card (in case one of them are faulty). If, after the final hard-reset your phone manages to successfully boot up all the way, then insert the cards and see if everything is operational.
Good luck.
My HD2 needs to go in for repair so I need to remove HSPL and flash a stock WinMo ROM ready for monday when it is getting collected.
I have followed the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402 but the screen does not go grey, there is a very quick flash then it returns to the multicoloured screen and pressing the power button does nothing
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me here as I have to sort this before Monday.
Cheers in advance
Bry.

the quick flash is the bootloader looking for a valid file, and usually means one of a few things..
1 - the file isn't correctly named leoimg.nbh
2 - you simply renamed the htc_wwe_blahblah_.exe to leoimg.nbh instead of extracting ruu_signed.nbh and renaming THAT.
3 - you are using an sd card bigger than 4gb (not always the case, but most times bigger cards fail)
4 - the card is formatted FAT16 instead of FAT32
5 - hspl isn't installed after all and the ROM is not a match for the phones ROM/region lock. (what does the spl line say in bootloader?)
try those, see if it resolves it.
fix
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 and on the 4th post there is a zip at the bottom download unzip and run and just choose the non hspl
what hspl are you running?
Ok tried again and the bootloader screen looks like this
thats the right on but the last line about the touch is different i have 50 instead of 40
Any reason why it would be different?
Wanna make sure its dont right, dont want em sending it back and telling me I have hacked it
That's only a valid spl if you have a tmous,,,, if you have a regular hd2 then any spl starting 2 is wrong. Only tmous roms use 2.x spls.
Its a UK O2 phone mate, what have I done wrong then?

Well without scanning back through the thread, I'm guessing you had 2.08.hspl installed and ran hspl2 or 4, which will have defaulted to the opposite, namely 2.08.0000,
Or,you SD flashed a tmous stock rom, which didn't initially fail because hspl was installed, but then failed to continue to flash after the spl had changed because hspl was no longer there.
Fix - run hspl2 (hspl2 is the most usefull for us reg Leo users) and choose a matching spl to the rom version installed ...
Rom ....... spl
1.43 ....... 1.42.0000
1.66 ....... 1.66.0000
3.14 ....... 3.03.0000 -- you would need to use Hspl4 for this.
If the phone is buggered and wont boot, then it doesn't really matter which you choose, so long as it's one of those three.
(And in fact it probably wouldn't matter even if the rom and spl don't match,, they're only really interested in the spl, just nice to be cautious,would be a pain to have it sent back on a technicality)
Phone boots but I cant do anything with it due to the screen freeze which is why its going back to HTC.
Ok now it tells me I dont have SPL 1.42 on my phone and it refuses to flash a stock ROM :/
Guess I am screwed, new phone time

You're using the wrong hspl.exe, its v1 that requires 1.42 to work,,,try again.
Ok I think I got it
I should flash the latest ROM again aswell really as they asked me to do that when I rang em yesterday
All sorted and upgraded to the latest ROM ready to go back to HTC.
Cheers mate saved me a lot of heartache
Welcome...
while on this topic, im using Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** via HSPL
now i wish to return to my stock (which i am pretty sure is this :
RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
(i copied down these details when i got my phone on the first day)
do i need to roll down to Radio 2.05.51.05_2 ?
i cant seem to get this ROM installed, whether its 1.42 SPL or 2.08 HSPL
i removed HSPL, and definitely not a TMOUS hd2 but cant install the stock rom
