I really screwed up this time - I bricked my phone

Hi,
I know, I know. I screwed up, and I don't know how to fix it.
I have tried everything on these forums and I am out of ideas.
My wing is stuck at the splash screen.
My IPL is 4.10.0002
My SPL is 4.70.Yang
I am running windows xp.
I have tried to flash using stock rom (I hear the computer making contact with the wing), but when I try to flash no matter what I do, I get a "[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']ERROR [260] : CONNECTION"[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I don't know what else to do.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Thanks to anyone who can help me.[/FONT]

Have you tried flashing from the MicroSD card?

wait... when your device is Hard-spl then there MUST be a possibility to flash a rom.
take one you flashed before and put your phone in bootloader first. then connect and flash...
good luck.

Thanks for your help
The problem was that when i was flashing the wing, it would reboot and the flashing tool, all of them, would lose connection.
what i did is when it reboot, i immediately after that i put it in downloader mode. i was able to flash the stock rom after that.
so thank you all who saw my post and for the advice i got.

Stuck stuck STUCK in bootloader - help!

My problem here is that I just cannot get out of bootloader. NO ROM OR RADIO WILL INSTALL ON MY DEVICE.
I've tried using goldcard and attempting numerous .nbh files and each time the update fails on the Radio_V2 part. I've also tried updating with the standard and custom RUUs and these always fail at 91%. the RUU always says 'Error 270....update error...the image file is corrupted' no matter which ROM I use.
Updating the radio only stalls at 96% and gets stuck there.
Currently my bootloader says 'Update ROM code error Please try again. See the attached photo for a screenshot. I am able to connect to a pc ok and run updates.
Ive also tried a hard reset, which WORKS but still doesn't boot up the device.
Can anyone help here? If not it looks like my HD2 is going on eBay for spares!

My SPL is version 1.42
Why is yours 0.67????

I've no idea bro, it's an eBay purchase from before the general release of the device.

I hear the hacked hardspl and sspl is nearly done so maybe this will help you to upgrade the rom?
Have you checked you have not brought some prototype or something as your spl version is way out.
Hope you get it fixed very soon.

How can it show the "SECURITY UNLOCKED" while there is no cid unlock for this device?
How did you do it?
There is something wrong with you..
And an interesting point: your bootloader is different from mine, my updare process shows % progress in number and HTC logo behind the progress bar, yours is different..

i think he as used some hd stuff,not compatible with leo of course

maybe because it's a pre-release (prototype) unit you can't update it to a newer rom

it does sound like a prototype...
shouldnt need gold card.
have you tried flashing from sdcard without gold card in there?
try talking nicely to cmonex to see if she can help?

This looks like corrupted sectors in your device, try mtty, I think i seen similar problem before in herm or diamond
please searh the forum this one of them but try to find later version of mtty

try flashing without NK.nbf
Try flashing without the radio upgrade by removing the file mentioned in
the title (nk.nbf) from the folder where RUU.exe is exectuted (you might need to hunt fot the install files in the temporrary directories in your computer. The temp files are created after clicking the update.
Anyway, you're a senior You'll know what to so.
If there's no separate radio file for you, I would try taking the batt out,
then do a hard reset.
Peculiar !

Info
Try to flash using an official rom!! If You stil don't get through take off the battery for a couple hours then try again!! But If all this don't help, you'd better try to reflash with the rom you had previously

You used a MFG SPL = Developer SPL. Ask cmonex in the IRC for help. She works with the developer spl for hacking the spl.
good luck

Connect your phone to the PC using MTTY.
Send "set 14 0" (without quotes) and then task 8 to reboot.
Try if it works.

hey. can you send me a PM, I'm very interested in your device

Don't use it for spareparts..
I'm assuming you bought the phone?... Send it for repairs, they don't ask what you did. Just say you did a hard reset and this happend.. Believe me, they don't care at the repair shop (for sure @ eurotwice.be), great service they pickit up @ your door If you lost the receipt p.m. me

UPDATE
ok i didnt run MTTY through properly... after running task 29 this is the error I get....
ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS????

The same problem exists in the link below
yes bro, please check this post

Boot screen....
OH MY.....
Just fired up the HD2 to try out some MTTY commands and the boot screen has fired up. This is the first time it's not gone straight to bootloader.
I will await the device possibly kicking into life......fingers crossed.

Phone cant see SIM card

It was working and then all of a sudden I could not get a data connection..after a soft reset I could not get the phone out of flight mode..it would turn on wifi and blutooth but not data or phone radio. It acted like it could not read the SIM card. I could not even pull up my contacts list stored on the SIM card. I put the SIM in another phone and everything works.
I had no event that would have damaged the phone (drop etc..) so is it possible its a software issue? I did reflash a few ROM's but none would get it to work.
Has anyone had this happen to them? should I try to take the phone apart?
I love this phone

trying to reflash radio rom
OK I got an idea to try and reflash the radio ROM (1.58) in hopes that it would clear up my issue. I'm having a problem with this ..it will hang at the 0% progress (shown on the computer and the phone) and after a time error out. I then have to reflash the OS ROM and start all over...I have done this a few time with that same result. I even tried to use the older 1.57 radio ROM with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas on how i can get the radio flash to work?

Update
it seems like any flashing that tries to acces the radio portion of the ROM will not work..I get a error code 262 - loss of communication every time i try and flash any radio rom, I even tried to run the unlocker because one of the steps is to patch the radio rom ..but still get the same error..only this time it will go all the way to 99% bfr i get the error.
After all that I still have to reflash a OS ROM (currently 6.1 RO one) and everything still works great except for I cant turn on my radio for the phone and data.
Anyone have any idea how i can overcome this?
One idea i had was to roll back to the spl 1.2 ROM's but wanted to get some feedback bfr I do that..if it would even be worth trying.
thanks

Update 2
I decided to try and run the SPL downgrader. I flashed the ROM to prep ..all went OK ..then tried to run the SPLDowngrader.exe and when it got to the point where i see the progress in % it said:
Found SPL v1.20
Download SPL before v3.03
is not allowed!
Now I dont know what to do..please any help from anyone??
I was running the 3.5 SPL 6.1 RO ROM ..and never downgraded til now. Wes it because i was trying to run the unlocker earlier that may have messed something up?
Right now when i put it in boot loader (no choice its just that way after my failed attempt to downgrade) it shows:
ATHE100
IPL-v2.02
ATHE100 MFG
SPL-v3.50. OliNex
I may be able to reflash a 3.50 SPL ROM and get it back up and running but want to hold off to see if anyone knows more about how to fix it.

Hi, sorry to hear of your problem
have you tried flashing radio 1.57 from sd card?
after this I would try flashing a 3.5 rom
Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion
I tried that and it started OK and even tried to load ..the progress bar showed about 1/8th of it loaded then it just stops...the phone stays that way saying "In Progress.." but will not load any more. I pulled out the battery and put on a 3.5 ROM to flash from the SD card..it works no problem..I even can flash a 1.2 ROM for some reason and it works no problem...but I cant flash the radio ROM (tried 1.58 and 1.57) they will start and load only a little way then just stop.
Anyone have any other ideas? Is there a way to run the unlocker from the SD card? I feel like i'm getting further using that approach than with activesync.
Thanks for the help so far!

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.

The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.

same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

Same problem but i have hspl?
not sure what im doing wrong here I've installed hspl 1.42 which was enough trouble for what seemed like a pretty straight forward job. now whatever i try to install all i get is error 260? on top of this i don't seem to be able to send message tho i can receive and the camera on my phone no longer seems to work?
i am a newbie but Ive been reading and clicking and trying to install stuff for hours and hours and so far all Ive managed to do is install hspl and reduce my phones usability.
i got windows mobile device center 6.1 tried it with and without allow usb connections.
my antivirus and firewall is off.
.net framework 4 installed.
tried different usb ports
ive tried installing Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.23569.5.5.0_2.14_Holy_Grail_576MB_V4.3_WWE and a stock rom
my computer has vista 64 on it.

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine

error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.

I had the same problem and tried everything (?)
Finally I got it work.
After I started the update the first time, I got the message, driver was not installed successfuly ...blabla
I ignored the message, tried and the connection disconnected every time again.
At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done

Trouble installing rom on hd2

I'm new at this. I've followed the directions on how to install cooked ROM but I keep getting an error (Error 262). I don't know what to do anymore. I've changed computers, played with the connection settings, reinstalled Window Mobile Device Center, and it still hangs on me. I have to recover and I'm back to square one. I'm trying to install the Core Evo. Any tips? They would be greatly appreciated.

Would be helpful to know your spl/hspl version ...
Your phone type, HD2 / TMOUSHD2 ...
Did you put HSPL3 on first?
so on and so forth ...
If you can post your phone info and the info at the top of your bootloader screen would be helpful ..

I had the same problem as you.
I solved it by flashing with new HSLP3. After i used this flash i had no problem with error 262 and been able to install any custom roms.
HSPL3 is on this forums.
