[Q] common problem-checksum error on 99% - TG01 General

i found out that several people encountered problem with changing bootloader.
i also found out that there is suggestion that this problem is connected to NAND memory bad blocks. So, as i understand it, phone can work well on wm6 or wm6.5 without problem ,but in process of upgrading bootloader may come to light bad sectors and in extreme situation upgrading to such a corupted NAND, can cause dead phone.
But is it for sure problem with bad blocks in NAND memory ?
Isn't it a too common problem ? Maybe the method which we use in some cases will cause a problem ?
In my case i used Mirolg guide and i didn't try another method(Nokser guide is no longer available due to missing files).
With Mirolg guide, when i'm trying upgrade bootloader to wp7bootloader with tg downloader, i get checksum error on 99% while verifying FOTA .
From this moment i can upload wp7 rom ,but after that phone won't start.
And i can go back to wm6.5 bootloader and then upload wm6.5 ROM without problem.
And phone works fine with wm 6.5
So, i have few questions.
Someone, have files which are needed to proceed Nokser method 1 and 2 ?
Anyone know is there a way to check NAND memory for bad sectors ?(for example with mtty) - i just want to confirm that my upgrading problem is caused by bad blocks

NAND chip has bad blocks.This can't erase use riff jtag box!
Depending if these blocks contain no data, or it holds something important, phone may work or no.
If these blocks contain no data or not important,it may work!
If these blocks contain important data,it may not work!
Upgrade bootloader to wp7bootloader have two ways with tg downloader ,
you can Search my Posts ,
If you upload wp7 rom successfu ,but won't start,you may flash all file,all mbn and bin.(NPRG8650.hex /partition.mbn /dbl.mbn /dsp1.mbn /fsbl.mbn /osbl.mbn /amss.mbn /apps.mbn(0) /appsboot.mbn /flash.bin .etc)
You can use ZTEiT Common downloader or other tool (qpst / acer euu etc..)
Good luck!

checksum error
Hello,
The first thing I would like to thank the dev team for its work exelente.
Now to my problem, after flashing the boot loader checksum error occurs.
I have an almost new TG01 by orang Switzerland, I do not think it's broken.
Winmobil 6.5 is no problem to flash.
At the moment running the MIROM 0321radio
Thank you for your efforts

by mentioning two ways of upgrading ,are you talking about this:
"1. wm6 to wp7 bootloader
Short pin 1,3 or 0321rom Camera+Power ,on Download mode,use TG-Downloader
file tg01 wm6 Update wp7 Bootloader.bin, no os" ?
In other words one method is to short pins
and second method is 0321rom Camera+Power
Or i overlooked this another method of upgrading bootloader in your posts?
Is there a way to format or test NAND without JTAG ?

no,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18800260&postcount=135

Thanks for help.
First advice was good.
Problem was solved by flashing all files.

I think that is hardware problem. I flash only OS, without radio and now my hermes work only as PDA, wi-fi and BT also work, but still no gsm.

I don't know. In my country I have a htc services and they say to me that my motherboard must be replaced because is to hard to change only radio chip and they only change all motherboard. For 350 Eur(+some Eur) I can by new Tytn. Now I use my pda in my home (in toalet) via wireles to look internet. Work's fine, but sometimes freeze OS and I must do soft reset.
ok guys , i might found a temp solution or maybe it will work permenantely with some one , but i need some one who have spare time and steel nerves coz i'm sick and tired of trying many files and roms and radios .
so any one is willing to start this experiment with his hermes and his spare-time lets begin .
first of all i want to declare that this method revived my radio and i used my device for one day just fine receiving and making calls . then the next day i decided to make a hard reset to see if the radio will stay working , and the result was the radio was dead .
here we go .
1.flash you device with GM360 gold edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329282 don't ask why just try it .
2.after the phone is flashed with gm360 and working ok with no radio or "no gsm" messege now you should flash your phone with your device manufacturer WM5 ROM .
3. to flash WM5 rom you need to follow mr.vanx guide for safe WM5 downgrade . http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=26 here it is .
4. now after you've flashed WM5 successfully and your device is also working fine with it but still no radio or "no gsm" . you need to flash only radio to your device . no OS only the radio .
5. download this radio . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697 and unrar it on some folder . and don't flash it yet to your device .
6 download Olipro RUUwraper 5.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737 there u go.
7. now the files from step "5" which they are the radio 1.54 put the file ruuwrapper from step "6" in the same folder with them to start the radio upgrade using "RUUWrapper.exe" not "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" . when u run it you will have multiple choices , choose "Force Unsafe SSPL (not recommended)" . .
now the radio upgrade should go smoothly as it went for me the first time . after the radio upgrade is done u should be able to use ur radio fine .
now can some one take half the effort of me writing this long method and try it ? thanx for the feedback also .
good luck for all .

Just now I finished all, by your instruction, step by step. When do the last step, flashing radio rom it's stuck on 0%. Many thank's for help, but it does not work for me.
a-h-t1,
thx for your discription,I'll try your method as soon as i can(because ADSL isn't much available!!)
eraserbabyboy,
can you tell me when did this problem happen to you(i mean loosing GSM)??did it happen when you was flashing WM6 ROM??
I really want to know why this problem happen to me while i didn't have it before flashing??is flashing cause to a hardware problem???

Hamed I dont know what's happened with my hermes, because I get him with the no gsm error. I have a bootloader 1.09 with enable kitl mode. In PB I lose many, many night to boot os but without sucess. And post many question here, but without answer, a-h-t1 is the first men who try to help and meny 10x for that.
So, before 2 week I send my hermes to Imei-check and before few days I get it back with bootloader 1.01 mfg and instruction from imei teamroblem_Description: The radio chip is faulty 100%. Now the handset is usable as PDA only (wifi + bluetooth working too), but not as a phone (the GSM module refuse to answer/flash).
DO NOT attempt to upgrade the firmware in the phone with a firmware which has RADIO upgrade, as it will put the handset back to the brick mode!!!
Model is SVP3100.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
After that I put the SPL 2.30 Olipro to prevent any future damage, and continuing to "play" and experiment, because I don't have more than, to loose. I have P3300 who work's very nice....
It's possible to boot any OS without radio. (I use nbh tool 1.01 to extract nbh file to nb and after make Ruu_signed but without radio).Also try metod via SD card and same to you, stop when try to flash radio. Also it's happened on 12-13%(independed of the rom version) when start full RUU upgrade. And when try to flashing only radio they stop on 0%. On 12-13% ruu upgrade try to flash radio in this moment, and this is the end. I am not sure is this hardware problems, but imei (I dont belived too much) said YES. In win OS I don't have a imei identification (in device info/identity) and of course radio version is blank. Sometimes happened that os blocked(freeze) or device just totaly go to power off mode and I must to do soft reset. Is any way to totaly disabled phone function in registry? I mean that freeze when phone try to find network or sim, but I am not shure. Last night I open my devices, and get out motherboard, just to see this famously radio chip. It's not possible in "home made" to change yourself this chip. Only if I have a more lucky and found some broken hermes with ok motherboard for 100-150 eur...
I hope that my info just little help to you to know "mystery" about our problems.
And one more time 10x to a-h-t1!

I just tried it and same result like you
but many thx for a-h-t1 and eraserbabyboy's help.now I want to try fix it in hardware way!!
but if anyone has idea about our problem please say here.i think it's going to be common problem,because i see many people in xda who has the same problem.
Read this, to see how I solve my problem. But I still have a hope, that it's not hardware problem and in the future I hope that someone will found software key to solve our corrupted radio.

ok,i think it was almost three months ago that i had posted my last post!!
you know my problem and i feel it has became a common problem for poeple who have hermes,unfortunately.
last week,i found a service man who believed that my phone's problem is fixable.
so i gave my pda to him,and because he lives in another city,i returned to mine and waited for him.
yesterday i phoned him,and this is what he said to me:
"first,I tried software methods,but the result was nothing!then I disassembled the device and changed the piece of RF of your ppc.it hung first,but now it loads the windows and find the antenna too!!but immediatly after finding,it hangs."
he has used the Dopod's RF in my htc TyTN and thinks that this problem(hanging after finding the antenna) is because of not matched radiorom.
I have good feel about his say,and i'm trying to help him find the correct radio rom,because he is so busy and cant search the internet to find the radiorom.so I've mailed him the link of wiki's radio rom for hermes and I hope someday this tragedy will finish but i'm not sure.
if anyone have comment about this case please help us,specialy about the RF,because I don't know anything about the Radio Frequency.
I HAD the EXACT same problem I Hermes would get stuck at 11% EVERYtime I tried to flash the OS rom with WM6!! The upgrade process would start and then [email protected]! 11% and I would get ERROR 262 (loss of communication) No FIX anywhere, even with site full of "supposed Hermes Fanboys" Nothing NOBODY knows nothing bout this issue. BUT I think I have found a fix (I have recovered twice gonna do it 1 more time to confirm METHOD)
1a
Its called a 1a brick. Look in the sticky brick section. like 170+ pages of this issue. I believe I have the same device. No GSM/ no imei no radio. Can flash rom's all day long, as long as rom doesnt include GSM. Try to flash ANY GSM does nothing, let it sit 10hrs... Nice free PDA, till i can figure out the wiki & there must be hope for me. Till then my wiz100 keeps rocking. Like the 8525, but wanted it more as a phone then just pda.

I hope you will fix your device,but when I read about your solution,I felt that guy who brought back to life your device,has just used a ROM whitout GSM,the way that we have been using since months ago.if I'm in mistake so tell us more.
The end of the Tragedy
o0o0k!!
as I've said in my post,the service man that I love! replaced the RF of my pda,but new problem was hanging after finding the antena!!
as he told me yesterday,he tried another used RF,but this time the TyTN's one and it worked) and there is no problem.so after 4 months nearly I can use my pda.
as soon as I can,I will go to get my device and test it myself.
be wait for my smooth experience!!

iv bricket my device cingular 8525

hello every1, i am not very much into winmobile, i am symbian freak for a very long time.
in symbian there is no possibility to flash bricket device at home, ant that is spwcialy what i like at winmobile
i have htc cingular 8525 and it was running wm5.
rgbw string:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HREM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
and iv tryed to upgrade it to wm6. it stoped on 11% at image writing on ROM, and give me error 262. i remove battery, wait, plug back.... and it started to write again. and stoped on 11% again.
so iv changed pc(go to my friend), and same thing again.
iv even changed cable(from nokia 6120c hehehehe) nothing works
my ROM is deleted and i only have RGBW screen(bootloader)
is there any possibility to boot my device? form mmc???? anything? i am runing activesync 4.5.0
iv readed a lot of tuts, but ne1 helped me.
i hope that someone solved this problem.
thanx in advance

It sounds like your radio has been stuffed... This is BAD...
First, try to flash a stock carrier rom(preferably your original carrier rom) and see if it goes past the 10-15% mark. If not you can try to flash a Radio only rom.
The best way, since it reset into bootloader anyway & (good onya) you have Hard SPL installed, is to use the sd card method.
1. Format sd card fat32.
2. Copy the .nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh".
3. Put sd card in Hermes and reset. Follow prompts...
Make sure you have a charged battery as it is pretty battery draining (especially multiple flashes).
If you can't get the radio rom on, you can AT LEAST install a new OS only rom. It will be a good PDA BUT won't work as a phone anymore...
Good Luck...
thank you for reply.
my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever.
i was testing it wht plug-unplug usb, and it allways show me if it is serial or usb.... that means that system is functioning.
i try to bootup wht mmc fat, and it didnt work
tell me what files do i need to transfer to mmc? do i need to change name of RUU.....exe to stg else or just nbh thing?
and in what location on mmc should i save it? or just in mmc:\ (root)
and can i hack my radiorom after i setup system? or i need to do that before?
thanx again
btw i am poweruser of symbian, and i am proud owner of smallest s60v3 device (6120).
i found on it samsungs processor.... and i belive that it is similar as windows mobile. and we have a lot of troubles wht rom upgrading... is there any possibility to include you guys in symbian ROM moding? it would be gr8 bcs i didnt cee much skilled developers for windows XP in symbian freak community
btw some guy just told me that he has some java application which enabling write on ROM and if he say truth he will share it wht me.
he is pc/phone servicer, and he is really good as far as i know.
if this thing exists, is there any possibility to extract RUU from exe to pc and i would copy/paste every single file(wht some changes) as i want to do to my nokia hehehehehehehe
wook
"my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever." - THIS IS BOOTLOADER...
On the screen it should say what IPL and SPL you have, What are they?
2. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh". You can use a radio only rom or a stock carrier rom - after flashing carrier rom and if the radio rom is restored then flash radio of your choice.
As for running windows on a symbian phone, I don't really know but I'd think that it wouldn't work as the symbian os may have hard wired drivers in the device. You'd have to ask some-one else in the know....
Cheers....
ultramag, iv posted spl and ipl version in 1st post
btw i didnt think abt runing winmob on symbian device, i was thinking of making RUU for symbian.
while RUU is rar file, we could make one for symbian, and bricket phones wouldnt be needed to send to service. btw we could then deit rom and remove platsecurity and make symbiansigned useless. then wount be any need for ROMpatching...(it pach ram actualy) all we need is drivers for symbian device and that we dont have
bt smthing will come i am working on clocking my 6120c and so far no sucess
btw, thank you for help, i am going to load mmc tonight (16:42 here)
ultramag69 thank you my friend for suport. iv successifuly get up my system
heheheehehehehe
btw i dont have imei info and Radio Rom version
i think that i should use CID and SIM unlocker?
As I said on the 2nd post, Your radio rom may be stuffed. This could mean its an unfixable brick. You can use the PDA functions BUT you may not be able to restore the Phone functions.
Using the sd card method though, you can try to install a radio only rom (this only tries to install the radio, the OS you have on there will remain the same so even if the radio rom install is unsuccessful you can still use the PDA functions).
You should also try to install a carrier stock rom (rom supplied by your original carrier) as this , on rare occasions, has restored the radio rom.
Good luck in your Endeavour..
Cheers...
i will try to run radioROM.cab from mmc. seems like stg is wron wht my usb cable. it cant get synced wht pc....?
i will veawe its hardware and check "all" tngs from usb to rom and to flash, at least till crystalls
btw this platiform is awsome
wht resco i can edit rom files??? whd i am amased
i just need paint and hex editor
and ill make anything
btw is there any dll exe... decompilers??? and i need to check is there python for wm6
and then ill be able to write my own programs
thanx bro again
You have bricked hardware radio - flashing radio rom wouldn't work. Send it to good service and probably they will repair it.
hmmm, i would sen it right now, but there is no service around...., and i am better in hardware and software more than 75% local servicists....ill gess tht ill figure stg
ppl, i am wondering:
why memory card is displayed in "device:\" as folder? as far as i know it is a disk(fat32) and why i have extended_ROM and option to remove it?
why i cand access to orginal ROM drive? and why winm0b is playing wht virtual drives?
offtopic:
does any1 has experience wht pythonCE? and if there is ziped command samples for pythons compiled library? i would like to get it
Thank you
wook
It is not clear if you fixed your phone.
It does not sound like you have followed ultramag69 instructions very well. Probably because Englsih is not your first tongue and you have little knowledge of PPC.
You need to download a Radio ROM here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Then follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
A few points that you need to understand. Resco can not edit ROM files. Your Hermes does not use a MMC card it uses MicroSD. If you are connected to ActiveSync then your Storage Card shows up as a folder; that's just the way it is! Pretty much all your other questions are answered in the WIKI here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

Bootloader OK but radio stack ROM can not be upgraded

My Atom enters bootloader,
If I select
ROM (diskimage_Ver.nb0)
Extended ROM
eboot
with Device Software Update Utility, there is no problem. all roms can be upgraded. If I select all or with upgrade program w/o choices, It stops at radio stack.
First any software solutions?
Then, I have an atom dead main board. Which chip or chips to change to work the working atom again?
Does also radio rom written in G3 DOC?
If this is the case that no solution for any of the Atom with Burning Radio rom problem then I need to scrap two of my Atom handset.
Can somebody comment on whether the JTAG method will fix this problem or not.
Will be a great help for many of the people who are searching answer for this problem here.

most probably there is no solution, you will be left with a pda only. i'm in the same boat, but yesterday i completely killed my device (bootloader, everything is gone due to a bad minisd flash). so i will be trying the jtag method to, amongst others, revive my rw6815 this weekend. perhaps it will also be possible to revive the radio stack that way, but i've read around and multiple people tried but the have all failed. i'll let you know what my results will be.
still got another way to solve the problem,u can try to flash the radio by sd card[get 1gb or 2gb ,DONT EVEN get 4gb cos of 4gb support HD],when flash by SD card,u will see how many persen upgrading,if stack on in between 11% mean ur radio already burn off and ur pda phone use hv function for pda,no phone call,same boat with me ^^,

Help please! My ROM upgrade broken my Athena!

Hello, I am in serious trouble! I got a brand new HTC Athena with Windows Mobile 5.0. I succesfully upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.0.
All was OK.
Than I was interested to move into Windows Mobile 6.1 and possibly 6.5. At first I did the Athena unlock (3 step process) and all went OK: Antenna 1.5.0, SPL 1.2 OLI....
THAN I DID MY ERROR! I try to upgrade my 6.0 ROM with the Micky 6.1 cooked file with SPL 3.5. After a 92 percent upgrade, the ROM crashed and now I always get a nasty black screen with few lines (No 3 color bands!). When I try to upgrade again the same ROM or ROM for SPL 1.2 I get an error (ID mismatching). I guess the only solution is a hard and full reset of the Windows. But doing only a hard reset with the PDA will NOT change my error message and I will keep see this nasty black screen and I cannot load the Windows ActiveSync application-
I am totally lost. Help please. Any tool for a true full restore/recover??? (I did NOT make any backup!).
This thread might hold a solution to your problem.
Hi
If you follow the instructions exactly in post 33, it will solve your problems. just click HERE

Hello, those links are basically for corrupted wifi antenna files.-
In my case my HTC Athena crashed the Windows 6 ROM while I was attempting to upgrade, after unlocking the phone, the Athena from version 6.0 to version 6.1
Are you sure I can use the post #33 also for my specific trouble?
Thank you in advance!
this is also to repair your bootloader-infos
if you look at your bootloaderscreen, you will see ATHE100, IPL, ATHE100, SPL. if not, you have to repair it
make sure you flashed the right rom, spl 1 or 3.5
How can the bootloader get repaired?
yes use that link, post #33. fixes both wifi and modelid problems and bootloader problems when you got stuck at 92% of the flashing process.
Cannot re flash ROM
Please help! I tried the unlocker and it failed at 92% and since then I have no WM6. Then I tried to flash the Michy WM6.5 and that failed. I was getting model id errors so I did the mtty and mac1 fix which was succesful. However all I can get now is a grey screen on boot-up. I can get to the bootloader screen and it displays ATHE100, IPL-v2.02, ATHE100, SPL-v1.20. Olipro. From what I have read on the forum at this stage I should run a RUU to flash a WM6 ROM but all that I try can't connect because no OS running to connect with Activesync? Is there a way to flash from the bootloader? The other option seems to be putting an image and flasher on a miniSD but I can't find clear instructions for this or which files?
Please ignore - my battery wasn't charged enough. Replaced battery and recovered device.
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
I have follow the link (thread 33)...., however, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......
However, after I have disconnected the usb cable of the Athena from the PC and try to reboot it, I got again the exact same, nasty, dark screen with blue strips.....:-( It means that my damaged firmware has NOT been fix and in fact I am still NOT able to boot WM successfully!
PLEASE HELP. It is 3 months with this problem and I cannot use my device.:-(
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
first, how can I get the mac address of my device? It is NOT written anywhere in the Athena parts (checked in the battery bay and so on.....), and so when I run mtty i am in trouble! I have used a mac address got from my company's manager, but not sure it is ok to use it with the Athena!
Anyway,......I have follow the post link (thread 33)...., and followed the various steps.- However, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......

PLEASE HELP. It is 3 months with this problem and I cannot use my device.:-(
Solved!
Hi, problem done. I have follow the remarks, fixed my broken firmware and now I use well Athena with VM 6.5! Thanks all for your help!

Can you tell what you've actually done after you've changed ROM with Mtty?
I done the thing with Mtty but just as you described when I reset it now I still get the grey screen. And if I try to update ROM it fails again on 92%
where did you find the upgrade from wm5 to wm6?
the link I found on rapidshare seems not be availabel anymore

After bad flash, can't flash new radio (RSA FAIL)

Hello everyone,
i've been reading this forum for one month,
It was the day I decided to upgrade my HTC HD2, and someone disconnected the usb cable during the process.
Don't talk to me about that ;-)
The problem is I can't flash any rom radio into the phone.
OS ROMS work.
I read carefully a lot of posts here, I can say I have exactly the same problems as _Juster_ from this post :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084
My phone is a french HTC HD2, Orange branded.
I successfully installed HSPL 2.08
Making upgrades using USB is very difficult, it is very unstable (communication errors, no response from the phone....) .
I tried on windows 7 pro and win xp sp3 and it is the same.
I then created a goldcard, that I'm using to flash directly in the phone. It is stable, but when flashing a radio rom I always get the "ERROR 00018003, RSA FAIL error".
I learned from xda that the issue can be solved by flashing the original stock radio rom from Orange.
I downloaded a lot of shipped roms from Orange, or HTC.
Always RSA_FAIL.
I'm maybe doing something wrong, or this is a hardware problem....
a few questions for you folks :
1/ It seems that the original Orange stock rom is a 1.43
Must I have the 1.42 HSPL to flash it ?
Is the version of your HSPL important, when you want to flash a rom ? can I flash whatever rom with any HSPL ?
2/ using a Glodcard with HSPL already installed.
when you enter on the bootloader (vol down + power) you arrive on the HSPL tri color screen, displaying HSPL 2.08....
Are you sure the Goldcard is being used ?
How to be sure of that ?
I think (I may be wrong) when you enter the bootloader mode You are on HSPL mode.
What I do to enter the goldcard mode :
I just press power,
I have a "Software update failed message"
Then I arrive to the "Loading..." message
With the name of the ROM i'm trying to flash
LEOIMG.nbh
RADIO V2
Press power to start update
Am I right ?
Thanks for reading this and helping me.
is there other Tasks like task 29 you are aware of ?
Task 29 formats the phone ?
is there a way to partition the phone or to diagnose if there's a problem ?
what do we know about that RSA_FAIL ?
I assume the RSA proccessing is to check whether the RSA Key of the radio rom matches the phone's one ?
Is there a software way to bypass that RSA check ?
I've downloaded 22 radio roms (from orange and HTC) + several others (shipped & cooked)
I always get a RSA FAIL message when I try to flash.
any clue ? something ?
Can't really make out if you tried it from your post, but you could try to flash back to stock by using the SD flash method. Just put the leoimg.nbh in the root of the SD and boot while holding the vol down button. That way you go back to stock spl, rom and radio.
Check the sticky in the ROM development section which refers to the whole HSPL and how to flash everything topic. That should fill you in on HSPL.

I already flashed 22 radio roms and a dozen of full roms (os + radio) using SD CARD.
As the usb is very unstable I'm using the sd card method to flash, which is also a goldcard.
the problem is I ALWAYS get the RSA FAIL message (error 00018003) at the end of the radio flashing process.
This guy : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084
had the same problem but with un unbranded phone and had it solved by flashing a cooked rom he randomly choosed.
To understand the situation,
my phone is an Orange branded one, what is the difference between a branded and an unbranded phone, assuming they both have the same HSPL ?
thx
Just sold my HD2.
Seems like some questions don't have answers....
what was the problem? íf i understand you right, it even worked..but you couldnt flash another radio...
why dont you use it further?
DN41
The phone wasn't able to boot
It was stuck at the white HTC logo,
After the failure of a radio flash, I was not able to flash it again. (RSA FAIL)
I read all the posts about this problem in xda, tried everything, nothing worked.
sorry...
so who bought it? how much did you get?
someone who needed a new lcd or so?
DN41
150€ , it was in a very good condition
RSA FAIL

You don't just rename the whole update,you extract the ruu_signed.nbh file and rename that.
RSA FAIL
I had the same problem with my polaris (htc touch cruise - pola160). I managed to get rid of the problem by downgrading the radio rom.
I couldn't find my old one, but I was able to find the highest version older than my old one in the forum. So I first downgraded the radio using the sd card, after that the rom I was trying to install in the first place worked.
Thx to pcarvalho for this "fix" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3645124&postcount=1 - the "Important Note:" section (always read the small print ).
Hope this helpes.
PS: Sorry if this is too late for some...
having this exact same problem, radio rsa fail, can't even flash a stock rom.
did anyone solve this?

Put the back of the phone in front of an AC in cold for 5 minutes, and keeping it always in front of the AC try to install.
If you are able to do that, send it back to the warranty.
Hello,
I have the same problem!
long time ago I had HTC devices, but few days ago I bought HD2 and it was installed android. Is unable to start or when they try to load a ROM eror occurs.
phone has only a white scrin.
error occurs mostly when upgrade Radio ver. I somehow managed NRGZ image but again not boot system.
Task 29 also comes to 19% and stops with the error.
I have a feeling that the real problem is the radio version. (00,018,003 Radio Fail)
I do not know what is the original ROM.
IMEI: 3526 6604 8712 295
SPL 2.08.HSPL
any help came good
