Hello,
this will be a pretty extensive post, but I want to give you as much info as I can so you can help me
I got a second had EU HD2 with a stock bootloader, radio, rom, ect.
Bootloader: 1.42.0000
Rom: 1.66.479.2 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
I read the forum for a couple of years now and I'm pretty familiar with all the procedures for flashing (I own a couple more htcs,
flashed in every possible way)
The problem is that the battery life is very poor: after a hard reset, so no previously installed apps, not using gps, BT, WiFi, or
anything (even phone in airplane mode), I get 6-7 hrs battery life. Even in standby the battery drains at almost the same rate.
SpoonCharge says -140ma - -150ma with no app or anything in airplane mode. I tried 2 more batteries known to go over 2 days with other
hd2s.
So, I decide the problem might be in the rom and go ahead to flash to a new one:
I chose the Artemis v.65 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
I read all the instructions and all other linked to them threads. Started flashing to the stock LEO-S 3.14 with the instructions here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8776196&postcount=26465
Flashed to SPL 1.66.0000, as said in step 2.
Tried to enter bootloader with VolDown and PowerOn, but it just starts the OS. From inside the OS I can enter bootloader with the EndKey
from johcos but ONLY that way! I tried another bootloader, 1.66HSPL, 2.08 SPL and HSPL, 3.03 SPL - nothing - I cant enter bootloader
manually - only through the EndKey with booted OS.
SO - why the hell??
I can go into bootloader through the EndKey, but I fear flashing because if something happens and the flashing doesn't go as expected I
wont be able to enter bootloader and fix things, no matter with USB sync or SD!
At one (brave) point I tried to flash the RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship from here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 - but it got to 1% and displayed an error: "Update utility not compatible with
device" or something similar.
So, bottom line after this long read:
1. Why/How can't/can I get into bootloader manually?
2. Why at the first place the batt life is so poor with all processes around 0%?
Thank you for the time spent reading my story!
and
Thanks in advance for any help!
here's some "hepl"
1- post in the corect section. The general forum is for these questions you know. it's quite odd for someone who've read the forums for years to make such mistake.
2- Since it's a second hand device, god knows what the previous owner did to it.
3- Does the volume down hardware key work when WinMo is running?
4- Do you turn on the device while holding down the volume down key, or do you press it after it starts, or release it before it starts?
5- I'm pretty sure the artemis build you're trying to get needs SPL 3.03 which you can get here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11499585&postcount=3
6- try your device with SD removed. And make sure you haven't installed any program that runs in the background on the SD.
that's all I can help with
I'm very sorry for the wrong section. I was late and I was frustrated with many hours of struggling with the hd2. Please someone move it where it belongs.
@Dr.Move - thanks for trying to help!
I got it from a friend of mine and can assure I has handled well and it's never been to any kind of repair. It was never even flashed.
All keys work in WinMo.
I hold the VolDown key before pressing the PowerOn key. Tried also holding both keys together, holding VolDown and reseting with the reset button. Manual hard reset with VolUp and VolDown and PowerOn also doesn't work.
Artemis does need SPL3.03, but the flashing instructions say flashing SPL 1.66.0000, than stock 3.14-S which flashes to SPL 3.03.0000 and radio 2.15 .50.14, than Artemis. But that doesn't really matter right now, as it has nothing to do with me not being able to manually enter bootloader or hard reset.
Tried with SD in and out, formatted it (not quick) - all the same.
A thing I forgot to mention. My friend said the hard buttons didn't work, before I got the device. It happened a year ago, when we had no htc service in our country (Bulgaria) and the device had to be sent abroad, so he ditched it and got a new one. He couldn't remember what was wrong with the buttons, but it surely wasn't not being able to enter bootloader, as he doesn't even know what that is.
When I power up the device all the buttons worked and still work. (He was surprised and said "Well - good for you ).
So I'm starting to think the problem might be in the VolDown button, but the PowerOn obviously works. How can it be the buttons work in the OS and not before it boots up??
Ok, update.
I know what you're going to say, I did probably the dummest thing I could. I know now...
I did task 29, wiped the NAND. VolDown + PowerOn still doesnt work.
So empty nand and cant enter bootloader.
Is there anything I can try, what can be the reason the VolDown doesn't work (the button itself DID work in WinMo).
Can something be done or i got myself a shiny black brick?
damn
Sorry for that bro, I think you should move to the general forum now and ask there.
make sure you state your problem in the title clearly, much like you did here.
I'm sorry I can't help you any further as I'm not a developer/electrician. but seems I don't need to tell you that you shouldn't have done that before making sure the buttons worked.

Hallo I have a big Problem,
I cooked a ROM and flashed it on my MDA Vario 2. After Reset my device starts to boot an then it went out and starts again, ever and ever. Nothing else happens.
I tryed to go into Boot-Mode (left "OK" + "Power" + Stick Reset) but nothing happens.
What can I do, please help me
Swith your device off. Then go into bootloader mode (left "OK" + "Power" + Stick Reset(hold it))
Hey Ghz,
I did this but without any effect. The device was out, then I tried to go in bootloader mode (I did hold the two buttons and the Stick) but it went not in boot-mode. It starts again and again. I only can stop it by taking off the battery.
Have you try put in your charging/USB cable without installing the battery? After that try go get in bootloader mode.
I but the USB cable in (without battery). The LED went red. Then I made the Reset and tried to get in boot but nothing happens. Then I Put battery in. LED went orange. Then I tried the bootmode. But the device only tried aigain to boot again and again. I'm getting stupid with this thing. I can't get into bootmode.
When you say that "it boots over and over", how far is it getting in the boot process? What is the last screen that loads before it starts to boot again?
Also, have you tried reflashing with a known working ROM using SD Card method?
What version of SPL was on the device when you flashed this ROM?
Was the ROM you created an OS-only ROM or was there more? If there was more, then what else?
It starts booting. All numbers appear (at the bottem). Then, when normaly the "HTC" animation would start, it breakes and starts again.
It was an OS-Rom (3.61) with several other programms (I exactly don't know jet). The SPL was 1.04 I think (If that is possible).
I cooked the ROM and I forgot to add two other boot-screens I think. Because it breaks when the first boot-screen should appear (I think).
Flashing with SD Card was also without any effect. I think it breaks to early to boot from SD (Or may it be, because I can not enter the boot-screen?)
Sorry my erglish is not the best

Don't worry about your English - it is very good.
Even if you did not put splash screens in your ROM, it would not be a problem, because it would just keep the ones that were already on the device.
I know that his does not help you, but it would have helped you to flash HardSPL, because it sounds like you *may* have corrupted the IPL or SPL, since you cannot put the phone into bootloader mode and it is not getting past the bootloader at startup. Unfortunately, I do not know a way to fix this. HardSPL would have prevented this, because it protects the bootloaders from overwriting. I wish I had better news. Maybe someone else can help...
HELP PLEASE
I tried to do DCD's upgrade method to get me GPS and what not, and I got stuck at #3
1. Copy down your infromation from PST (more below)
2. Update your Hard-SPL to 2.40-olipro
3. Flash new ROM
4. Flash new Radio
5. Reprogram PST settings from earlier if necessary.

THEN when it was restarting it froze at the sprint splash. so i reset, and still it froze. I tried doing a hard reset and I tried the power+camera+reset combo with the stylus in
ahhhhh! please please any help is appreciated
TIA
Power+Camera then SoftReset, Just press the reset button while the power and camera are both pressed down and let them go and then the boot loader should show up
ahghhh! okay i did that and got the lovely bootloader
i hate to be retarded sounding but what next?
THANKS for your help its greatly appreciated!
OKay i tried to continue but now it says NO RADIO under the sprint logo! ahh its getting worse?
edit: of course now i can still get into the bootloader though, so what to dooo
if its of any help the bootloader says:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CPLD 9
u said u loaded the radio in there right, well if so go head and load the dcd rom in there now, if u dont have either go do the radio, then it will restart then freezes again if that happens do the power, camera and reset button thing and load the dcd rom then after that it will load fine
No radio means no radio. Install the full blown 3.16 to get it all, then install DCD's rom if you want.
heres a small idea. it might just work.

this question has been asked a million times. geez people. if you are not willing to read and do general troubleshooting wtf are you flashing roms for?!
cluttering forums..
for the record. i want world peace as much as the next guy, but not as much as i would like to have a forum community of people who read and thought for themselves. unfortunately...much like the real world..you can idiot proof a forum
Load the image on a Fat 32 sd card, name TITAIMG and soft reset to BL, It works every time.

Don't be an effing jerk... Posts like are a waste of space* and should be considered "clutter"
At any rate... I myself had this same issue so I just tell you what I did. As you have already done, when it freezes on the splash screen, enter the bootloader. I had an issue where my pc didnt recognize my device anymore, but I was able to find an app (here on xda) that stopped Activesync. Once I did that I was able to flash a diffrent rom and start over (I used dcd's 1.6.10 Sprint)
When starting over go very slow making sure not to overlook any step. Start with http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806 flash it
Then flash dcd's 2.0 beta.
I'm going to be honest, between being stuck in bootloader, frozen splash screen, reading an ungodly amount of useless posts* and listening to my girlfriend tell me to "Marry the effin phone" the whole thing took me about 10 hours. So if this helps great, let me know
Load radio and os rom from micro sd!
Ok, for all sprint users that are stuck because you loaded a cooked rom without loading the correct radio first. Or you have some how overwritten the radio rom, dont ask me how I did it but i did.
Here it the fix!
I was running the 2.40 Olipro boot loader when I preformed these steps. I do not know if they will work with other boot loaders.
download the Official 3.25 rom from HTC. ftp://Mogulrom:[email protected]_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe
Use winrar to unpackages it.
Format a microsd card as FAT32.
Copy Special_4350.nbh, and RUU_signed.nbh from the unpackaged 3.25 rom to the freshly FAT32 formated microsd. Rename "Special_4350.nbh" to "TITA100.nhb. Rename "RUU_signed.nbh" to "TITAIMG.nbh". Inset the microsd. Put device in bootloader mode, press and hold both power, and camera then softreset while holding the buttons. Follow on screen instruction from boot loader mode.
Hope this helps...
Hello!
It's insane, here is the description.
The android booted up just in safe mode.
The winmo had faults, so I've decided to change the whole system, with task 29.
At first I've changed my radio to the 2_12_50_02_2 version.
Than I've started the task29, the one what do not needs the radio.
Thats all I've done, and now I cannot reach the boot loader, or anything else.
The vol up and start trick is not working.
Please give me a solution, I need this phone working, I need a solution, and I appreciate every tip.
Thank You in advance!!!!
its volume down, not up.
same problem for me here
i did task29 and it was all fine, 100% reached and then the HD2 did a reboot, stopping at the black screen with the white HTC logo.
then as always i removed the battery and put it in again, holding vol down und clicking power-up once.
nothing happend... the phone vibrated once and got back to the HTC logo.
NO bootloader!
please do not tell me i'm too dumb to enter bootloader, i've been flashing custom roms for 6 months now!
my latest rom was Goatrip 6.0 and HSLP is 2.08
yesterday when goa6 was still "alive" the volume-down button worked fine, so the problem cant be some dust or dirt beneath the buttons.
edit: i've also tried flashing via SD card (clean FAT32 formatted 2gb card) the original stock rom 3.14 and a custom rom,
none of them is working either
every single hint of how i could solve this issue would be great!
hope to here from u guys
Remove the SD card and try again to go into BootLoader mode.
i have tried all methods and variations but i cant enter bootloader...
now i have found this thread:
--eeeeek cant post links --
its referring to the TP2 but i thought i would give it a try!
i've done this sketchy voldown+power+usbcable+batteryplugin thing but no result, even after 10 attempts :-(
Since you removed the battery, are all the pins straight?
those 5 (2 1 2) pins are in good shape
i cant post a link yet, ill send it to u via PM
posting links enabled:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/122134-task29-didnt-complete-cant-enter-bootloader.html
i got it!
my stepfather owns a HD2, too.
i plug mine into his docking station while i was on the phone with htc support... just because i was bored waiting in the queue.
after the phone call i tried once again to enter bootloader e voila => boooom 3 colour screen!
i dont know whats the reason for, but i flashed my custom rom as fast as i could and it works fine.
but even now i cant enter bootloader properly...for 10 times trying 2 times actually work!
in the WM Os its no problem, Vol-Down functionality is 100%
cant explain that to me,
i think u need some luck to get this issue solved
___EDIT___
now with my customrom i could easily enter the bootloader via software command
and therefore i downgraded HSPL to stock spl1.42.000.
after this i flashed 2.08.hspl again and NOW my bootloader is working as intended!
u see, once u can get into bootloader again, all your problems can be fixed.
without him, you're f*cked
greetings
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?
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
