Ok my mogul went dead before I could get it plugged in, so I plugged it up come back later to cut it on and it goes to the plain HTC screen and hangs... I tried a hard reset same thing, tried putting the latest DCD rom back on it and same thing.. Can someone help me... the only thing it seems to be able to do is go into the BL mode and the hardreset mode.
FYI.. Mogul has been running for a week or more since the unlock. And I was so pleased with the new proformance. Thanks for the help.
I had the same thing happen to me this morning... and I just barely installed the sprint 2.17 ROM, and it seems to be booting just fine. You could try that. Thing is, though, I'd expect DCD's rom to work just the same way, so I don't know for sure what to tell you. I've got the custom BL installed, and I've been running DCDs ROM. I just decided to switch back right now because A. I'm not at home and only had time to download one ROM, didn't want to risk needing to do it twice, and B. I wanted to compare which is really better and decide why.
The coolness factor on using a custom rom is, of course, good... ;-) but I want to see what the full differences are.
Anyway, I'd try that if DCDs rom isn't fixing it for you, because when I reflashed it it came right up.

Have you tried removing the battery for a few minutes.
I assume he tried that... I sure did. Update, however... the phone worked fine all day until I had to turn it completely off, and so I just pulled the battery; same problem recurred.
maybe I need to restore the original bootloader? dunno.
Well, I'm tring to load the stock 2.17 rom back on... Took it to the store they looked at it put it in bl mode and handed back and said it was my problem since I modded it. Guess I'm going to short it out so that insurance will cover it.
UPDATE : Ok so the 2.17 rom did allow to boot back up to a normal state, so maybe there is a problem that if the phone goes dead on the custom rom that dosn't allow it to recover, kinda wierd.
Thanks for the help, I was really pissed about sprint not replacing it. (HEHE, guess thats what goes with customizing your phone)
I've got mine back up and running DCD's latest 2.1.0 and it's great.
you can put everything back so that sprint doesn't know you did anything, so I wouldn't worry too much on that score. Other than that one time, I haven't had an ounce of trouble with it. don't let this turn you sour to custom roms, you'll miss out on some cool stuff... gps, for example.
doesn't boot
please help, i folowed the instructions from this website: http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/
i opened up Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe i got the 3 color screen and then i could'nt get active sync to work finnaly after a few reset and even a hard reset i got the 3 color screen to go away but now phone won't boot, the phone gets stuck by the htc screen can any help me in detail how to get the hone to reboot, when i reboot it displays that it has 3.27 and the 2.17, thanks in advance
that radio and rom version are incompatible with each other.
I really hate to make a bad first impression but...
No matter what I do I get this error. I was trying to HARDSPL the phone, I put it into boot loader mode, I installed all the .cab's . It starts the progress bar up gets to about 3% and the phone screen goes black and restarts and then ERROR 270 shows up in the RUU. I searched around but found nothing for the Herald about it. Just asking for any help as to what I can do.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried going to start/system/usb to pc and enable advanced network functionality? What rom are you running?

ok that was disabled. I enabled it, same problem.
Seems to be running Open Touch 5.0.
Just bought it off ebay.
Ok think I got it. Seems to be very hard to find a newbie guide for first timers of this sort of thing.
Found some files by ivanmmj and sifted through them. Found a USPL program that SID unlocked the phone, after that I was able to run HARD SPL, and everything was fine. Now my next step is to try to flash a ROM on it , wish me luck.
Think after all this work I'm going to try to write a guide for first timers like me to explain this stuff a little better.
If it had OpenTouch 5.0, it might have already been HardSPLed. Either way, I'm glad you found the answer yourself. It shows that you actually did your research.

That's really not a bad idea. I know I was EXTREMELY confused the first time I flashed my rom. It took me a lot of reading to finally understand RUU stood for rom update utility. You do know for some roms, it's not necessary to hard spl. I went from stock rom to open touch 3.0. What rom are you thinking about flashing to?
There's a walkthrough by me somewhere in the forums.

Just downloaded ivan's kitchen , but I'm having problems getting it to run. Going to use that to probably make my own and get used to the programs that are out there.
Firstly sorry for the long post.
I'm having a few problems with my HD2, and I'm looking solutions that dont involve flashing the t-mobile ROM (which is 1.43.110.2). I have all the HTC patches installed.
The problems I'm having are ...
*Favourites are disappearing sporadically. I cant figure out whether they're going when I sync it up or just purely at random. They stay on the internet tab but disappear from the favourites menu. Folders are not affected.
*Music player: Lags. I have to wait about 2-3 minutes before a song starts playing on the first attempt, then its fine. This happens even if the little spinning circle hasn't appeared (this appears after you have updated the storage card by syncing with media player). Also when sliding album art back and forth in landscape mode, it freezes, and then jumps back to the beginning of the stack. Didn't used to do this.
*Music Sync - my biggest nightmare right now; I really need help on this one! Sync in windows 7 windows mobile device manager works fine. When I load up WM player and attempt to sync the storage card however, the device will sync for a couple of minutes, and then soft reset itself.
Hopefully when 6.5.3 comes out officially HTC will roll up all the crappy patches and T-mobile will approve it... but until then I'm stuck with these annoyances (in addition of course to crappy SMS, constant crashing, lags etc., which I certainly wasn't expecting when I got my shiny new HD2
I was in a similar boat to you. The Tmo ROM is really poor and I hate to tell you this but 1.48 or 1.61 are the answer.
If you really can't consider that option, I'd say that you should do a hard reset and see what issues you still have with a fresh ROM. The original T mo ROM is on here somewhere. download that as a backup before you do anything, just for safety.
realy sorry mate but he is right try and see if you can get hole of a free goldcard i run 1.48 insted of t-mob its not purfect but worls alot better
Thanks for your responses. I guess flashing is the only option, cos right now this phone really is virtually unusable. I'll have to try and get my head around the whole goldcards thing but if I get stuck I'll start a new thread...
Thx!

Hi mate, had the same issue. The gold card thing isn't too bad, theres a great idiots guide on here that I used, the hardest bit is getting the number off the MicroSD card, dont do what I did and lose all my data on it (as you edit some values which makes Windows no longer recognise it sometimes). Take a copy of whats on there just incase. Again there is a post that mentions a way of reversing the change so you have lost all your data on the memory card.
Good luck, I did without any probs to flash from 1.43 to 1.48 using the Goldcard method
I have the same problem with favourites and i'm on the 2.02 ROM. I never touch IE on my computer though so i've not put much thought into what happens with the sync. I'm just throwing together a wee app to sync it with Firefox though so that will solve my issues.
As for synching it with media player (and i'm old school - I drag and drop files), could there be any corrupt/unrecognisable data in your playlist? You could try a drag/drop dump of music onto your device and see if that works.

There is now HSPL and SSPL available so goldcard is no longer required, using SSPL or HSPL is much easier too
Hi, I converted my T-Mobile HD2 to 1.48 using SSPL. After a couple of teething troubles with Firewalls and a hanging Activsync - fixed with a PC restart it worked just great. It scared me twice when it hung in the boot loader but taking the battery out and restarting fixed it. I made a goldcard aswell just in case but do not really know if it would have worked.
Now its loaded The HD2 seems faster, has more programs and the battery seems to last longer particularly with WLAN.
I still have 1 open question though that I have, touch wood, not had to find the answer for yet. If I do a hard reset which ROM reboots, T-Mobile or the 1.48? Perhaps somebody here knows? I would be grateful to find out before I have to try it out.
Good luck and hopefully it works as well for you.

i believe if you hard reboot it will revert to the Tmobile rom.. as you used SSPL... only if you do a HSPL will it stay... correct me if i'm wrong guys

Incorrect...your Rom does not change regardless of flashing method SSPL or HDSPL. If using the SSPL method a hard reset will remove the SSPL only, and your SPL ONLY will revert back to original, Your latest Rom does not change....
Thanks for the quick responses guys but I am still a bit confused - sorry.
Perhaps in laymans terms -
If I have to hard reset, when the phone reboots will I get all of the T-mobile c**p again and have to go through the SSPL process again- which is not easy when on a business trip, or will I keep the HTC version.
If as I think I understood from band27 I get the HTC version back but lose the SSPL what effect will that have?
thanks again
No, When you hard reset you will get exactly the same ROM as you have before you hard reset. IT will be just like the first time the phone booted after you initially re-flashed it.
The only way to return it to T-Mobile's ROM is to find the download that 'football' posted a few weeks ago and flash it.
Plz let a noob continue this question
If i use SSPL to flash a cooked ROM and for some reason want to go back to a original ROM, how?
Is it correct that i only take my original ROM and flash it as usual, or do i need to do annything els?
Do i need a goldcard?
Plz help a noob
I don't know if this has happened to anyone, as I haven't seen the problem I have anywhere else, but something strange started happening from yesterday(using Energy 2 ROM btw):
When I run Haret, That's it! It gets stuck when it attempts to load the kernel. I've messed around with the startup.txt and used a new data.img, with no results. And, everyone else in the threads of the ROMs I was trying said they worked perfectly... A little help would be appriciated!
yeah, I've been having the same problem too! Im also using the energy 2 rom and I've been trying different android builds. The only build that I've had work half way decent was the desire rom but once I power off the phone and try to get back into the desire rom it just gets stuck at the boot up screen. Im new at the whole flashing roms and modifying files thing so any advice at all would be very appreciated. Thanks.

then i realized that i needed to use the task29 tool before
i flash any rom... did that, hard resetted, and then tried flashing again (energy referecne) using the sd card method
and i just get stuck on the "NRG" screen
tried the other custom ruu method getting the same results
using the radio 2.07.50.27
i put back the regular spl to flash a stock rom but still no luck
i know the phone isn't bricked i can get to boot loader, hard reset
any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance!

ok as from my knowledge you dont necessarily need to do task29 if its ur first time flashing (cuz i didnt and i got very good results) so i think u messed up in tht part.. but its ok, now you prolly want to first --> do a task29 again... second ---> get the nrg rom and flash it.... third -->get a radio of 2.10 or higher and flash tht....and just to play safe flash everything using custom ruu (i got better results using them...just saying)... also when u do each flash and its suspenseful dont boot up the phone, just take out the battery and back into bootloader.
hope this helps... report back lol
^thanks man
Okay so heres how it goes, my phone is def not bricked
custom ruu has only worked once for me
now whenever i try to use it it always gets stuck at 8%
i found that if i flash it at night and hard reset. wait til morning and turn on the phone
then it loads past the nrg screen and into the OS.
i'm currently trying to get it back to stock and i downloaded the tmobile update
but it doesnt seem to work, it also keeps stopping at 8%
i disable the anti virus stuff and i plug it in to the back of my computer
sounds like a defect
sorry to bust your bubble bro but it sounds like you got a classic case of a defective leo, i too did the same steps you did and it turns out my main board wasn't any good and the phone kept overheating, turns out when flashing custom roms they tend to put more pressure on the snapdragon then a regular stock t mobile rom. i know this sounds crazy but i believe it to be true, so with that said you got two options, one get back to t mobile customer care and get a replacement. or do what i did and find a repair shop and let them know that your leo either needs a new mainbaord or a new heatskin like mines did, it cost me 80 dollars which wasnt bad since my leo was a gift and i couldnt give it back to t mobile... hope that helps in some way
p.s. sorry for the edit but if you cant do either of those of what i suggested, try this get yourself a nice icepack nthe size of your phone and mount the leo on top of it whenever your using it, so that sucker wont overheat. once again i hope i helped
