I've tried just about everything and it keeps messing up. Here's what happened:
I got this phone in April from a local craigslist ad. The battery he gave me was old and only lasted half a day, so I ordered one off Ebay (big mistake!). I put it in and it has worked fine for the last 8 months. But one day last week, I went 2 days without charging the phone. Apparently the battery was in the phone the whole time while it drained to 0% (never had let it do that before). When I tried to turn the screen on, it wouldn't. I plugged it in, saw that it had 0 battery left, and left it there to charge.
Ever since then, whenever I've tried to make a call it would either:
-Freeze
-"Dialing..." forever
-Make the call but when I want to end, the sound goes off but the counter keeps going. I can't make anymore calls until I restart the phone
But if I restart the phone, 90% of the time it will show "No GSM" on startup and the phone will not connect to AT&T.
Also, in device information, the radio version does not show up.
Before anything started messing up, I was running Schap's v4.31 WM6 and I think radio version 1.3-something
I have tried:
-official WM5 ROM from AT&T (installed but No GSM error)
-official WM6 ROM from AT&T (always gets stuck at 11% and doesn't install)
-Schap's v4.31 installs fine every time but I get No GSM error
-Radio 1.47.00.10 installs and will work for 1 or 2 calls but then freezes and the No GSM error comes back when I restart
-Radio 1.48.00.00 installs and will work for 1 or 2 calls but then freezes and the No GSM error comes back when I restart
-Radio 1.54.07.00 is stuck at 0% and stays there for hours
-Radio 1.54.30.10 tells me I have the wrong device ID
I'm posting here as a last resort after spending a week on this forum reading on how to fix this phone.
Any ideas or is it toast?
I think about the only thing to try would be to reflash the shipped radio rom. You may need to find out what that 1.3-something actually was and reflash. May fix the problem.
No guarantees though s this is the radio rom and its a mongrel of a thing, causes the most bricks.
Good luck...
Was having similar problems with the radio. No GSM at boot up and could not access phone once booted. No matter what radio I try it gets stuck flashing at 0%. I took the sim out and rebooted the phone. It booted much faster and now the device id tells me this:
Operator Version: PDAviet.net
ROM Version : DVH_V27_BS
ROM Date : 10/30/08
Radio Version : 1.54.07.00
Protocol Version : 32.86.u.7020.23h
ExtROM version : Black(Basic).
Before with the sim installed I got nothing under radio version and protocol version. I can open the phone now but it says The sim card is missing.....Emergency Calls Only. I have been reading for days and days through the XDA guides and Wiki stuff and nothing seems to work. After a try flashing a radio and it gets stuck, I have to use mtty.exe and use set 16 0 to reboot OS. Every now and then the phone will not respond with mtty.exe and I use a sd card with a Splash1, Splash2 and OS only to revive the phone. What should I do next?

My SPV3100 had the No GSM message and got stuck on the Windows Mobile screen a few weeks ago. Tried HR, levaing the battery out etc etc etc but nothing worked.
I was ready to chuck it away, but after about a month of reading as much as I could about the Hermes on this forum I managed to get the phone working again by loading a different radio.
I then loaded HardSPL v7, and flashed the rom/radio using the current version on the Orange UK website.
It worked fine for a while, but now some strange things are happening;
- Call doesn't appear to end when I press the red hang-up button (although the call is actually disconnected)
- Phone freezes and buttons/touch screen will not respond
- Occasionally hangs on the Windows Mobile screen
- Occasionally get No GSM message
- Occasionally get Radio: None, GSM: None messages
- Outgoing call fails on first attempt, then phone loses network, searches, finds it and then call connects (in an area where I know reception is usually great)
- Battery dies in about 12hrs, even when sitting in standy and not being used.
These things happen at different times and independently of each other
Current stats of the phone:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM version 2.11.61.3
Radio Version 1.38.00.01
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
Apart from updating the rom, I have also tried HR and the Activesync tip
Is there a better rom/radio version that I could try (I'm on Orange UK) or is this sounding more like a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance
If no-one can help with the problems i have listed, then could someone point me in the right direction of a decent radio/rom version?
Thanks
update with an official orange rom, then flash any cooked rom. I had a similar problem on one of my hermes and found if you use the official upgrade to flash first it solves the problem also state what the rom was that you flashed
Hi,
I did flash the official Orange rom already (downloaded it from the Orange website), and am having the problems listed
Current stats of the phone:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM version 2.11.61.3
Radio Version 1.38.00.01
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
Do you think it didn't flash properly (bad sectors etc)?
Only way to find out is to check.....
If you're not sure, re-install the ROM.
I am using a Sprint Mogul
=====
Radio Version: 3.42.02
Protocol Version: DCAAXAM-430H
HARDWARE Version: 0003
PRI Version: 2.04_003
======
I Installed v1.1 Heavy for Cricket WM6.1
I installed Olipro-240 and then loaded the rom. I had no problem everything worked. Then I decided to upgrade the radio to that new one 3.42.50.
I attempted to flash to the rom using formatted 1GB Kingston FAT32 and the bootloader would flash loading and would do nothing. So then I used Windows 7 when I was flashing this rom [via usb] however I had left advanced networking on or maybe didnt establish an activesync so whenever I was installing from bootloader it would stop at 8 or 9% and reboot. "Unknown command" I think it said. This is where the problem started. I tried it on my XP SP3 machine it would also stop at the same percent and reboot.
I installed nuespl 2.47 and then installed the radio[3.42.50] and v1.1 heavy rom w/ no problem[via MicroSD]. However during calls my phone will reset randomly. Even when I flash back to the sprint factory rom it still reboots during calls.
Another issue I have is that when my phone goes into hibernation after 2m. It will not power on with the power button. I have to do a soft reset. I have to disable the power feature that turns off the monitor on my device. I have oxios so I dont believe its a memory issue. Can you share some advice on how to fix my phone or if it is bricked and i need to get another one.
I've spent about a 4 days straight trying to fix it and my GF is getting fed up w/ me on my phone so any help from anyone who knows what they are talking about is much appreciated
PS - the phone not turning on after hibernation was a problem my phone developed before flashing.
---
I downgraded my radio after all of this to 3.42.02. I am still having the same issue. I've reinstalled the radio, rom and did hard resets and pulled battery. The phone works fine on the internet/txt/mms but while on a phone it just resets at different times.. When it comes back on it sometimes has to search for a signal, this takes anywhere from 2-10minutes.
plz assist
I have read some threads about it. Some people had the power button stuck (in that case the screen 'do you want to proceed yes - no' would appear)...some other people had problems while listening to the radio.
I have never listened to the radio...
Some days ago the problem started, the phone always reboots on its own while lying on the table or in the pocket...no applications in background, no wifi on, no bluetooth on...just the original rom (german one), the original radio version, no software running : it reboots (different from shutting down, it turns on again on its own, like a soft reset).
The problem didn't begin with the installation of some application...I have not installed applications for ages, but the problem began only in the last 2-3 days.
ROM-Version : 1.56.407.2 (43972) GER
ROM-Date : 04.03.2009
Radio: 1.12.25.16DE

The battery is clean, the SIM card is clean.
Try flashing another stock rom on there. It could save you weeks of heartache
ANybody can help me . i have a HD2 When tried to FLASH to any RADIO from 2.07 to 2.15 all failed at 96%. I have made a TASK29 also it fails at 96%. NOW cant install anything on it !
At first 2.15 flashed and after i made task29 it stop to install. Then i used 2.07 it flash, but again i used TASK29 and now when i retry to reinstall any RADIO, it fails at 96%.
Am using tasks29 because my HD2 is stuck in LOGO HTC. So am trying many ROM file for it to WORK but in VAIN !! I still can enter BOOTLOADER. Manage to install MAGLDR and WIN7 but never the phone was OK!
I was wondering if its a HARDWARE problem?
It usually takes a long time at 96%. Try leaving it for a while and see if it will complete. Mine took some time at 95%

If you can get into BL dont worry you'll be able to flash. Just try everything again and give loader a moment.
Ok. I waited almost 30Mins ! is that ENOUGH?
But i Found that If i flash with this ROM (that has RADIO in it) - " Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21907.5.0.93_1.80_ML_V4_Ship_EN " flash succESSfully but still i have the PROblEM of STUCK on HTC logo !
Again failed at 96%
Hello,
has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
I am having the same issue - radio and rom flash fails at 96%, I have tried even older radios and different roms with radio. Tried with HSPL 3.03 and 2.08.
When flashing from USB it always stops at 96% at hangs for 15mins then says fail.
If flashing from SD card then it just hangs indefinetely.
only the Duttys_Leo_Sense finishes flashes but the phone wont boot
Download this, flash it and and start from scratch. something went wrong along the way..but start from scratch and go again.
If you have trouble once you download. restart the phone holding the the power and volume down buttons. and you will get into bootloader..then connect phone and wait until it says usb and flash.

I have not looked to see if it is for the US or EU HD2. But seeing as you have a EU HD2 you have nothing to fear really as the EU can be flashed with any radio version with no bad effects. But the US HD2 can not be flashed with any radio version with a 51 in it or it will be hard bricked. The 51 radio versions were the first radio versions for the EU HD2.
also, try chillign teh phone for twenty mins in teh freezer, then quickly reinsert the sd and try to flash. It may help you get past the last few %
Unfortunately it didnt end well
HTC HD ROM update from USB stalled at 8% for more than 30mins.
Then I tried updating it from SD card when it failed instantly reverting to factory SPL.
And then I tried to use HSPL4 to put: SPL-208 instead of HSPL208. Phone said cracked it and after that it died.
Its completely bricked now, cannot turn it on - no key lights, no lcd
odd, these devices are very difficult to brick since if you mess up, just go into bootloader mode and reflash.

ahhh if only it was that simple. Check out the title of this thread, what you're suggesting is exactly what is failing. Look around, teh forum is stuffed full of this type of error. Sometimes it is solvable, sometimes not.
Hello, sorry for saying this but there is no solution to fix that. I had the same problem on friends HD2. It died with no reason, just rebooted. All you wrote is the same there, if you use newer radio stuck on 96%, older stuck in 97%. HSPL working ok, leoimg.nbh stuck on 8% and you getting ROM Update fail all times. That is hardware issuse and Radio ROM chip is damaged. We did not found any solution to fix that and even tryed xtc clip and all methods of instalation...
can u try flash HSPL first then the radio and then MGLDR...my problem is solve..
Hi.
I bought Hd2 yesterday, and I have a biiiig problem with it. It started perfectly - but after 5 min it shut down. It shows message about low battery, so I connected it into charger, orange led turned on. I tried to switch telephone on, but it freezes on white screen with HTC written. I tried soft-resets and hard-resets, even tried to install official rom - but installer is always freezing at 8%. I can get into BootLoader and phone is recognized by the PC after connecting USB cable. But this is all - i can't switch phone on, I can't install ROM...
What is wrong? Is it gonna work, or maybe it is totally bricked?
Radio flash stuck @ 96%
This seems to be the kiss of death for an HD2. I also have the same symptoms: stuck at 96% when trying to flash a radio. I have a US HD2 and I've flashed about 10 of these phones with no issues. This is the first one I've ever seen with this issue though. It was a friends phone that he wanted me to assemble. He gave it to me in pieces. When I assembled it, it wouldn't boot. So I flashed the stock ROM, but the flash won't complete. Fails at 8% or 11%. Tried flashing HSPL and it seems to work. But when trying to flash the radio it fails at 96% (it just hangs).
I was wondering if it has bad sectors on the partition or someting and if a J-tag service could fix this. Theoretically, it's supposed to be fixable if you can get into the bootloader. Oh well, into the junk box this HD2 motherboard goes until someone posts a fix.
I got the same problem can't not flash anything, and alway stucked at 96%.
Only thing I did to get it complete flashing radio, rom was put the phone in zip lock, and put in freezer for 10mins, took it out and plug in battery and flashing, at anytime, if the phone vibrating it will not accepting any data in, and it will stop at 96% and then i have to put in freezer again. Took me awhile to get everything boot up and got in windows 7 and play with it. But... the phone still rebooting it self, sometimes it will reboot after 5 mins or an hr when I am surfing webs or setting up the phone... Right now I am trying to get a different sim card to test out.
Seem more like hardware problem.
My problem is solved - I've got new motherboard....
NAND Toolkit
Have you guys tried to use NAND Toolkit?! it works fine for me, and never had issues flashing my HD2...
Hello, my friend brings me HTC HD2 T8585 yesterday. It seems like it's not T-mobile (white "call" and "end" buttons, no t-mobile label on the top). It freezes on "Energy star", just writes ROM and radio version on the bottom left and freezes. Now it has radio 2.09.51.xxx. If I try to update it to xx.50.xx it stops switching on, recognising by USB and charging at all. Totally bricked. But I have found strange way to reanimate it. I'm pulling battery out (for 5-10 minutes), reset HD2 few times by red button, insert it back, push reset few times again, plug USB cable inside, charging battery 5 minutes by external 5V adapter is also helps sometimes (now it has 3.85V), and sometimes it possible to switch it on (1 time on 10 tryings). When it switched on, it's possible to update radio back to xx.51.xx version and after that it switches on very distinctly, but freezes on Energy star again (it refuses to boot any flashed rom). It's possible to install android on this HTC with xx.50.xx radio. I did it and it works (but freezes then I'm trying to make a call). Of course to boot android on xx.50.xx I need to pull and insert battery, press reset and make special magic dance...
I have a loop here: to boot android I need new Radio Update.
To switch the phone on without magic spells I need old 2.09.51 Radio.
Sometimes it's possible to boot firmware on 2.09.51. I don't know how i got it, but after 5 minutes of freezing on "energy star" it booted up stock firmware i flashed before.
I don't know what to do. Is it hardware failure?
I'm not sure what you have, but there's no "energy star" on my device?!
any screenshots for the device/the screen that it freezes on?

by energy star, do you mean the energy rom boot screen? The energy rom WILL NOT boot with a ..51.. radio. It must have a ..50.. radio for it to work.
OR - have you been flashing custom boot screens? there is an 'energy star' bootscreen, made to look like a PC bios boot screen, is that what you mean?
flashing a radio without HSPL, , you are mistaken, that cannot be done.
we need more direct info to help, i'm afraid. Screen shots or at least full filenames of what you have flashed LAST would be great.

Okay I'll try to tell full story. This phone was previosly updated to custom W.M. 6.5 rom (by my friend's friend I don't know him directly). I don't know which rom he used. May be he changed splash screen (wow I found it! i always thought it's real boot time proccess for HTC HD2 ) . Yesterday my friend brought this phone to me with two problems: 1: slow and not stable booting (sometimes it freezed on splash screen 2: After (and if) it loads WM, it crashes in very short time to screen full of green colour. So I tryed to install Hyper Droid. First I downloaded HSPL4 and updated HSPL from 1.66.0000 to 2.08.HSPL . After that I tryed to install MAGLDR and phone showed only Energy Star splash screen. After short googling I decided to update radio. After updating it to 2.15.50 phone switched off and i was not able to switch it on (like described in this post). I disconnected battery and after few tryings it switched on and loads MAGLD, i prepared partition (150MB file) and update zipped rom from SD card. Between these steps I disconnected battery many times, because it was impossible to switch phone on after reboot. I spend about 2 hours and Android was installed but phone freezed after 2 minutes (charging animation stoped and it didn't respond on buttons). Also I got 100% freezing then I tryed to make a call.
I tryed different version of Radio (about 7) and found 2.x.51.x working more stable (phone switching on by pressing button or connecting usb cable) . 2.x.50.x all have same switching on issues ;( . Now I updated HSPL to 3.03.HSPL and found that it (?) resolved issue with charging LED (it stayed ON after usb cable disconnecting) . Now I'm downloading stock 1.66 region free firmware and will try to flash it..

I found LEO of my friend is from Singapoure (thanks this) ) s/n: SH0CLNW03xxx . I tryed my s\n on htc singapoure support site and now i'm downloading original firmware!
After further researching I decided this phone has battery/mainboard failure. It freezes and makes green screen of death randomly, especialy often under high power consuption or while disconnecting USB cable. I flashed Rom directly from SD card, because usb update didn't work for me. Now it has stock firmware with stock splash screen. 3.03.0000 SPL and 2.15.50 radio. I'm giving up. Thank you all, here are a lot of useful information.
Did you do a hard reset after flashing the stock ROM. if that didn't do the trick, you could send it to maintenance now that it has stock WinMo on it.
Yes i did hard reset, it didn't help, I think it's need a bit work with soldering dryer. May be CPU or other chip has bad connection to mainboard... I've found i can get 100% GSOD by shacking phone or knocking its back cover. I don't know why it has difference with 51 and 50 radio. Now if it's freezed i'm pulling out the battery for one minute, and it switches on with 95% warranty. With radio 51 it switches on without need of battery removing.
