if my suspicions are correct, you can go here --> HD Dummies Flashing Guide to fix your problem. it pays to read about what you're doing before you do it. .

Did you put HSPL 1.56 on your phone? if not.. you should

Sounds like a HardSPL problem.
I had this problem when I upgraded to HardSPL v1.54, but the ROM was an older ROM. After upgrading to a newer ROM, this problem disappeared. I wasn't alarmed because this problem was expected, as written in HardSPL guide.
Maybe you should try the same...

Sounds like a SPL problem that gets reported every day. Please try searching before creating new thread.

Sudden hardresets with newer roms

Yesterday I've HSPL'd my leo.
Then I flashed the Dutty0.3v and thought everything was fine. Until this morning the device was unlocked with S2U2 and hung afterwards (not able to show manila page). After a softreset, device hung at white bootscreen (three red version lines bottom). Several softreset later, it actually lost all its settings, windows welcome center was welcoming me. So it did a hardreset.
Then I flashed another rom, the freyberryROM.V5.3. After flashing, I always hardreset the phone of course.
After two hours configuring and installing, all of a sudden some application weren't starting anymore, so I thought let's do a softreset, to see, if it fixes things. The same happened, device hung a bootscreen. After softreset, a hardreset occured again....
First I wanted to put the blame on the HSPL, but I think it was coincidence. But thinking over and over about my procedure and reading the dutty rom's thread, I think this has to do with S2U2. Maybe some of you experienced this as well, and we can put together what might be the culprit.
Details:
Using S2U2 v2.24 (video rawbuffer mode) - imported settings from reg-file.
Using T2Pro-Theme on SD-Card
Manila and every other HTC/WM setting concerning language set to German.
Hooked on Exchange2010 - Pushmail activated.
Somebody in Dutty's thread said, that those hard-resets get quite common with the newer ROMs, and it would help to flash a stock rom before, can somebody comment on this?
Thanks for any input!
ROM
I have had the same too with my former Blackstone, as I flashed it with T2M PDViet, I thought it is a virus, however I solved it by downloading a new version and installed it all over again, good luck

We had to do this on all the WM6.5 cooked roms for Kaiser, not heard of it being required for HD2 yet, why not post this in the thread for the ROM you are using?
Before flashing another custom ROM, flash an official stock ROM (1.42/1.48).
I encountered these issues on my TytnII and this weekend, I got the same problem on the HD2. Flahing 1.48 WWE before flashing custom ROM solved the issue for me.
Also: flashing 2.xx ROMs using 1.42xxx SPL may result in unexpected issues.

I've had this on my TytnII as well, but I never heard it for the HD2. So Custom to Custom ROM flashing is a NO GO?
?? Is there any other SPL? SSPL and HSPL are both 1.42 based....
In the diamond and other devices like tynt you could fix this with MTTY but dont know if it will work with the hd2
I thought MTTY was for recovering a device after a bad/interrupted flash??
Can you really use it to fix the non-boot situation and recover your installation?
So, when talking about stock-rom flashing is SoftSPL-flashing enough, or is a full HSPL- or even CID-ID-corresponding flash (incl. radio-rom) necessary?
Can somebody shed some technical background around this issue? I don't understand that there are mysterious areas, which don't get flashed and updated when flashing from custom to custom rom. There is no logic that this works for ONE flash ONLY.
Viewing this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1 , I think a task 32 in MTTY after flash must be a solution (official RUU seem to make it). But never tried.

Nope, officially hardresetting a device is recommended after flashing custom rom, I even ran into these issues without hard-resetting after flash (actually forgot it) , so leaving it intentionally out won't fix it.
Are you using CustomRUU to flash your device. I'm sure I read somewhere that flashing from the MicroSD card can cause problems but can't remember what they were now....just a thought

Ok, so, we have to found the "Format BINFS" task for HD2 bootloader. It's the command "task 29" on the Diamond (1) and the HD (BlackStone).
So for my experience on the Diamond, we have to do a task 29 before to flash to have a fully cleaned storage before write on this.
So I'ven't found any documentation on this for the HD2, I still investigate with IDA and original RUU, but it's my first attempt to decompile a soft...and it's not really easy to understand.
So we need people with two phone and able to practice JTAG to test a task 29 on Leo bootloader without risk to brick it...and it's not my case.
ps : sorry for my poor English.

It's not the flashing, me thinks. I experienced the issues only after flashing from custom TO custom rom. So I just think, it's like to old KAISER's times:
Always flash stock rom before!
Has anyone else noticed this?
I've never flashed a stock rom between custom roms and never had any lock up problems. I always use sspl or customRUU. Just thinking it might be the way you're flashing as I'm sure I read somewhere on the forum that there were problems with flashing from the MicroSD card.

I am absolute unfamiliar with this tasks you do with the RUU....
So task 29 did solve any "leftovers" and freaky behaviour on a diamond?

hey - we're getting closer. thinking about a sub-forum about flashing techniques, they will surely get device-dependant at some point.
if a call of task 29 would not make any problems, should it not be made and considered as standard for custom flashing?
did ever anybody brick his device with it? there must be something, causing that fear...
nobody on xda normally shows this respect for trying out undocumented functions

ya some people have bricked his device because of this... but well it can usually get fixed! problem was that they used mtty without having a hardspl and then they couldnt flash any rom... but if you have hardspl then no problem because you can flash from bootloader!
And if you dont have hardspl then you should also be able to flash HTc official rom(or the official rom that came with your device)
Anyways i wouldnt be first one to try it on my hd2 xD (only if i had problems)

Why hesitating? I'd love to see a "call task 29" as a menu item in your BSB tool I woke up this morning, and I felt for yelling "Task 29" to my girlfriend. No, to be honest, I didn't, I said "69" and enjoyed the morning.
I am going to try this method out and report back, but as it seems, it will be seen as a hack, that doesn't fit for everybody. But I would prefer this against always preloading a stock rom, if it would do the job.
Thanks for putting light on this!

Hi,
this is correct, you can stop this happening by flashing a OFFICIAL rom before your cooked rom.
Although i have just posted a thread on MTTY, which is the EXACT answer to all problems in this thread.
THREAD HERE - (It is Under Construction so please dont use until the big red warning has gone, you cant miss it!!)
MG
I was having the same exact problems with softspl and hardspl and with any custom rom. My cousin has the same issues too. I flashed back to stock 1.61 and dont have hardresets anymore.

I'm raging over this phone!!11

I'm so tired of this phone right now but since my company only offers HTC phones with WinMo this is the only one that's "interesting".
It has actually worked kinda well the last month but after I changed ROM last Friday it has been totally unusable. After the ROM-change I couldn't hear anything when I made a call so I changed radio, problem solved... I thought.. The phone freezed after one hour so I had to take the battery out and when I tried to boot it again it took the phone 6-7 minutes to get past the screen with Rom and Radio information. When it got past it I got the first booting screen with the "Windows is setting up your phone" blahblah so it was like I have made a hard reset.
Ever since I have tried different ROMs and different radios but nothing helps, it keeps giving me these crazy problems. On some ROMs I'm unable to save and access my contacts etc. One thing that is persistent is the time to get pass the screen with ROM and radio information, it's really slow no matter which ROM or radio I'm on. Of course I haven't tried all ROMs and radios but around 4 ROMs and 3 radios.
Is there anything else then ROM and radio that can be updated or replaced because I'm on the edge here and I'm about to throw it in front of a car just to get rid of it.
I appreciate all the help I can get.
Hi, try out OzROM and Radio 2.08_2. This combination is very fast, stable and usefull. I have testet a very lot other Roms but OzROM is the best off all !
Never hang since 1.30, good phonequality and no big Problems.
And remember to make a hardreset after flashing !!!

Thanks for the reply. I will test what you suggested but I don't have that much hope
I always hard reset after flashing.

How many ROM's have you flashed since you got your HD2? were they from the same Cook?
I always Flash a Stock ROM (via USB of course so I don't lose HSPL) before flashing to a new ROM by a different Cook... (so If I was on LIA, before flashing Dutty's I flash the Stock ROM, before flashing Artemis, Flash the stock ROM, before flashing Miri... and so on...)
If I want to get a truly clean device, I do a task 29 via mtty, which is akin to formatting your PC before you install a new OS.
Try mtty, its fast, easy and the results are proven (head over to the stickied mtty thread on HD2 ROM Development)

one of the reasons I have never flashed a custom ROM...the stock rom may have bugs but I have found that custom ROMS have so many more!!
I've yet to find a stable one, so now I don't bother with them...pity as they do have some nice features, but I can't live with the drawbacks
If its a company phone and, I assume, you use it for business purposes in the main and it was working ok, why did you upgrade the rom with the risk that you might break something?
How much reading have you done on here? Have you looked at the Hints & Tips thread fpr fixes or the "HD2 died- or did it" thread that deals specifically with the lockup issue?
If you are a secret rom junkie, flashing roms every 5 minutes, are you aware of the issues with doing so and the need for MTTY?
I tend to be very helpful to people in trouble; however I am struggling to understand why you fiddled around with a business phone that appears to be critical to you and was, as I understand it, working perfectly beforehand?

Jes thats it, you can download it on the OzRom Site
If you get Duttys HG ROM from my sig radio 2.08 is included so no extra flashing needed
In addition to the other recommendations in this thread (mtty/stock rom, etc.), I would recommend you stick to the 6.5 series (21xxx) rather than 6.5.x (23xxx) for added stability and speed.

Yes its a company phone and yes it worked "ok" after trying different custom ROMs. But I think that a phone in this price class should be working perfectly and not just ok. That's why I tend to flash a new ROM once in a while, because I want perfection. And we all know that HTC won't give us that.
Even though the last working ROM was ok, there still were some issues that didn't affect my daily use but that bugged me a bit, that's why I wanted to try a newer ROM.
I don't know that much about MTTY but I will look into it now. Thanks for the heads up.

True, but all programs and features that's implemented in the phone should work as designed. If they don't, the device isn't perfect imo.
Do you know how many issues Apple fix with the iPhone each week? All phones have issues, all PCs have issues, anything to do with tech has issues!!
End of the day you either try and fix it, send it back or wait for HTC to fix it (although some issues may be down to M$ themselves)...
LeoLite 2.3 with radio 2.08.50.08_2 is sweet!
The ROMeOS ROM is great as well - head to romeos.monx.biz for that one...
MTTY
I'd reiterate the advice about the MTTY, my device was utterly corrupted and flashing didn't help. After a MTTY format its back to 100%. Choose your ROM's carefully though, i still had some stability issues with some of the more exotic ROM's (even after a MTTY), I ended up choosing something closer to stock (Dutty) which was rock solid.

i think it is an spl problem try flash the latest spl
If your device hasn't been customised/flashed in any way and you are still under warranty i would look to getting it replaced by your supplier/carrier.
Otherwise the world is your oyster You could try different custom ROMs and customisations to see if anything helps. What you choose to do really depends on the above and how confident you are in your own knowledge of these things!
flash spl 1.66 stock i has same problem before

Complete Restore for get Waranty again?

Hi,
i have to send my HD2 to the Repair service (because of the touchscreen problem from the first devices) but i had a custom-ROM on it..
Now my question:
how can i remove ALL signs of the Custom-ROM so that HTC cannot say that it is because i had unofficial ROM on it?
I have flashed the original ROM from my SD-Card...
is there something else i need to do?
Nope that's it, it's ok .
Did you check bootloader?
If it's not saying CotullaHSPL you can return it.
@Laurentius26
if I make Hspl, and then for warranty reasons I return to stock loader, can they discover that I was using cooked ROMs at any time?
Thanks...
Nope, if you flash factory stock from storage card, SPL and OS are restored to stock.

sounds like a radio issue to me, have you tried other ROMs, what is your radio version?
Try flashing 2.12.50 or 2.15.50 and you should be fine.
tried the Energy Rom, no good use.. flashing the radio now.... thxx for the quick reply
sure thing, let me know how it goes.
Also, when flashing a new winmo ROM, are you doing a task29?
I have had issues when flashing new ROMs over old ones without doing task29 first, it seems to help a lot.
