Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

First you can try a hard reset!
Here you can download the original shipped rom with installer.

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread

Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...
Hey you must careffuly read mtty in kaiser thread.....mtty can brick your device for entire life.....my advice to you is pm GSLEON3

The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!
after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol

Hi
I seemed to have killed my phone tonight. Originally I flashed it with HardSPL then udk Vega firmware. It seemed to work OK but TomTom wouldn't work so I tried to flash it with something else. Now it boots up with the udk Polaris flash screen and then it dies. The screen is vagually there but there is no USB connection (either through Activesync or the firmware software). The bootloader screen is showing:
POLA100
SPL-1.28.0000
CPLD-2
I've tried lots of different firmwares, the original will not install (1.25.405.1) the error is 294 INVALID VENDOR ID
Has anyone any idea how I can fix my 1 month old phone please?
Kevin
first of all,
it looks like you haven't succesfully installed hardspl
if i remember, you shold install the original rom by manualy going into bootloader (camera+reset).
After that, try and install hardspl again.
hope this helps
My phone has died to. I used it today and sudently I can not unlock it. It want either hard reset or manualy go into bootloader. When it rings, I can answer and talk, but tapping the screen do not work. I am using the Glass rom, and have used a lot of different rom`s, and it has worked perfekt all the time. To enter bootloader (camera+reset)? or (on+camera+reset)? Any tips to unlock so i can install a new rom?
camera + reset = bootloader

Hello XDA-ers.
I've flashed my phone with the new ROM from the htc website.
And today i wanted to put Dutty's ROM on it, but it wouldnt flash.. the update would get stuck on 0% and then nothing happens for 20 minutes..
I also tried the udK_Lea_R5_MW6.5_WWE rom but the same thing happened.
Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks in advance
You need to use Hard-SPL.
READ THIS and follow instructions!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
Simple things first:
Have you run HardSPL? (Latest version is required, 1.83 at time of writing).
Have you tried loading into Bootloader manually before attempting to flash? (Hold VolDown when powering on).
If those fail, try and identify what has changed since you flashed the original ROM.
Aaah didnt knew i needed HardSPL..
First time i flashed my ROM it immidiatly worked =p
Thought that ROM screwed my phone in ever being flashed again .
Just needed the HardSPL ^^
Working smooth now, thanks !
Hello,
I bought HD2 just yesterday, probably as every member of xda, i tried flashing it. No problem, i tried several ROMs and as far as i remember - after flash it got stuck at white bootscreen with green HTC (i found several threads dealing with this problem, but most of the people had written there ROM, RADIO, .. in the left corner - I dont have this written) So I tried to flash the phone from the SD with stock rom, nothing has changed, I tried taking out the sd & sim card. I tried hardresetting device few times and I got no more ideas.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!
Filip
Edit 1: In the PDA Phone Rom update utility I cannot see the old version of ROM & Radio..
Edit 2: For now I have HSPL in the phone.
sounds like a missmatched rom and radio. once they are both flashed correctly it will boot. (example, a rom based on 2.10 rom will require a radio of around 2.06 or better to boot.)
edit - just seen you flashed with a stock rom from sd card, can you boot to bootloader? (press and hold vol down, tap power on)
dont worry about

I had exactly the same problem several days ago. After exchanging several ROMs, I got stuck at very first white screen with a green banner, but before it even showed the ROM and radio versions on it. And it happen after the ROM flush finished successfully. I also tried to hard reset it a couple of times.
But after that I used a gold card with 1.61 WWE ROM on it that I still have from the time when the HSPL wasn't developed yet.
During the flash from the gold card it waited at first and shown a some kind of error or warning grey exclamation sigh in a triangle, but just for a split second. After that it returned to continue flushing. I think it took twice as long as it should be, but as it finished, I was able to boot, hard reset and re-flash to the stock ROM 1.66 WWE, the usual way through the USB cable.
samsamuel: I can get with no problem to bootloader, could you send me exact link of the rom and radio that work together? And how come, that everytime I connect the phone to charger, it starts up?
mikiort: I havent ever used goldcard, havent ever heard of it better to say..
thanks for your help, guys, really appreciate it!!!
Since you have HSPL stil on your phone
(SPL 1.42.HSPL and not 1.42.0000) you are happy. Flash a stock rom from USB, lets say a 1.66 wwe rom, and if it still wont boot, go to teh radio roms thread, pick a low radio, (the 1.61 for instance) flash that, and you should have a working phone.
yeah, right now im flashin 1.66 WWE but it stopped and 99%... waaa im gettin nervous ok i will try and let you know
Ok, flashed 1.66 WWE but nothing has changed, im about to flash radio.
Flashed Radio 1.61 "Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07.nbh.7z" and still nothing... Oh!!! do you have any other ideas? Or should i again try to flash from SD official ROM?

hmm, sorry to hear that. i'd maybe consider flashing stock from sd card, but you need to be sure you have teh correct stock rom for your phone provider and region.
Be warned, this will remove HSPL, if you do not have the correct stock rom, it wont work.
Yea, i did that once already with 1.48 WWE Eastern Europe, it worked (it didnt show the triangle sign) but it didnt help, now im trying to flash 1.43 but im not expecting anything good
Done, nothing helps ... Now i have SPL 1.42000 so i can get the HSPL but as far as it doesnt help i dont know what to do...

Ok, if you have 1.42.0000 you need to redo the hspl flash. Once the spl is 1.42.hspl you can then flash to the rom of your choice. Which rom were you trying?
Many of the new roms require you to flash to a new radio at least 2.06 and most recently to 2.08 PRIOR to flashing the rom and if you don't the rom does not boot up and gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
really noob question, but anyways... do you firstly flash the rom and than the radio?
and to those ROMs.. i tried duffys, energy and one more i cant remember right now.. Im trying to HSPL and than flash from Vista computer, not XP...

For these newer roms you need to flash the radio first and then the rom, otherwise the rom doesn't boot up and gets stuck on the white screen.
If you are flashing a newer ROM based on the new TMOUS ROM I would flash the 2.08.50.08.03 Radio, then the ROM. Make sure you have HSPL 1.42 first.
Ok, I do have SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL there... now if possible tell me the "for sure" working combination... Btw, i remember how did it happen, i flashed dutty's rom and wifi was not working (option in communications couldnt be turned on/off was grey) and so i tried to flash there other rom.. and it got into problems..

I'm currently using the latest NRG rom (link in my signature) with the 2.08.50.08 radio and that works. Just as I said, flash the radio first and then the rom. The Dutty rom should also work the same way though so the choice is still yours.
OK so here i come, i flashed there firstly the radio Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.05, then Dutty's ROM Duttys Leo HG V1 5.2.21892 but nothing has changed.. I think the device is ready to be sent to HTC, what do you guys think?

hi,
a little fusrated here, Ive been trying to get my hd2 (originaly purchased from vodaphone in greece) to boot into windows.
i have tried flashing all diffrent ROMS with including, with HSPL installed (all versions from HSPL2):
from SD: original greek ROM from htc site, successful once but still no boot
usb: original WWE rom and UK vodaphone updated rom (1.77), also several cooked roms with radio version 2.08.50.05 and TASK29 flashed before attempting.
Even after several successful flashes from HTC offical ROM (which include radios if im not mistaken) the phone still doesnt boot, white htv screen or silver warning sign on black backround appear.
am i making a total noob mistake here, i have in my mind followed every combination of HSPL number, radio, HTC offical ROMS and even the HTC_ELL (greek rom) from SD. the only one i havent managed to find is the vodaphone GREEK rom from vodaphone.gr
any help at all would be excellent, its been a week of sleepless nights here, i really lossing hope.
this is hell! please help.

Well urs has a Vodafone CID lock.
So flash the stock Vodafone ELL rom using sd-card, or flash HTC ELL using goldcard!
i though that there was no need to CID unlock if you have a version of HSPL on your device, i never even though of that.
I still cannot locate the the offical vodaphone ELL ROM (which i dont really want as it is in greek).
back to the start i suppose ?
Well ur bootloader seems to be corrupted. So we need to go back to the roots. And then start again, so that's why we need stock rom, or flash stock rom using goldcard!
