Cannot restore - HD2 General

Hi people, trying to restore a stock SPL after installing HSPL
as the phone is going for an exchange, when i press the vol down button and power the tri color screen comes on and briefly says loading but then goes to the tri color screen again with SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL on it.
I have placed leoimg.nbh on the root of the sdcard and it is formatted in FAT32.
I also thought i was holding the vol down button too long but i release as soon as i see the colours but nothing loads still
Any help would be appreciated.

how did you copy the nbh onto the storage card?
i had the same issue and it sounds mad but i think you must put the sd card into the phone and connect it to a PC via cable as a disk drive. Then copy nbh onto the card that way.
Should work after that.

Yeah that's the way I did it already. Need to try and do it before tomorrow morning

ok... maybe i got it wrong... try it the other way... put the card directly into your PC via a card reader and copy the nbh onto it that way.
i had exactly the same issue and it was definately the way i copied the nbh onto the card that was at fault.

Found out it was my 8gb SDHC Memory card, i transferred the leoimg.nbh to a standard 2gb sd card that came with the phone and its updating fine.
Thanks for the help

trying to flash with sd card

my hermes is not working it wont get passed the loading screen of the IZ light rom and im trying to flash it with an sd card but it doesnt work. I read the wiki and all of the posts and i feel im doing everything right. on the boatloader screen it seems like it wants to work but it says loading no image found for like a split second and then it goes back to the multicolor screen.
it says
herm100
ipl-1.04
herm100
spl-2.10.olipro
any help welcomed and thanks
SD card method...
1.. Format SD card FAT32. Copy .nbh file you want onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh... NO MISPELLING ALLOWED...
2.. Put SD card back into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3.. Follow the onscreen instructions...
You MUST do this EXACTLY. SD cards come formatted FAT. Mispelling won't be recognised.

You forgot to say use 2Gb or smaller card, NOT an SDHC card
Should we have to at this stage......
I've posted this sooooooooooooooooo many times already....
Thanks!
I just wanted to add my $0.02 here. I am trying to flash my old "No GSM" Hermes with WM6.5, and it was giving me the gray "Loading" for about 0.00002 seconds before flashing back to tri-color boot screen.
Re-formatting as FAT32 did the trick! I'm watching the progress bar right now! So, thanks, ultramag69!
Ah, and just as I finished typing that, I got:
"Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS"
Can't wait to see what happens next! Surf Wisely.
New OS will work, "No GSM" problem will probably remain...
You're flashing the OS, NOT the Radio ROM, so the no GSM problem won't be affected.

problems with sd card after flash of rom

k so after trying to flash a new rom(aloysuis) i hung on the black htc screen. i abondoned that card, inserted my old, reflashed fixxxed on there and its fine. i put my other sd card in that wouldnt work, formatted and copied the working card contents back on it. running fixxxedsense my phone upon loading says "sd card removed, Insert a new one. plug it in and it doesnt give me an option to mount, but when im in recovery mode it lets me mount and see all the contents i put on there. Did i ruin my sd card r is there a problem with the partitions maybe?

[fix] !!!!sdcard is not ruined after flashing wp7!!!!

I flashed Windows Phone 7 earlier and decided to go back to NAND Android but like others thought my SD Card was ruined. But it is not I figured out how to see the SD Card and Reformat it.... I will gladly post step by step TUT if this hasnt been figured out yet or if there's enough interest. Atleast this is what worked for me. This you will lose WP7 using this guide but your SD Card will be usable once again and you'll be back to the start line. This will only work if your SD Card is atleast visible to your PC.
KEEP PHONE PLUGGED INTO YOUR PC THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

4. Go to OPTION 4. USB MassStg in MAGLDR.
5. Now Download SD Formatter 3.0 Beta from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K8502IMN and install it.
*If your PC is not recognizing your SD Card go back to MAGLDR Main Menu by pressing the Power Button once and go to OPTION 10. RESET with phone still plugged in, and hold Power Button down while rebooting to get back to MAGLDR screen and select option 4. USB MassStg again. It should recognize it.
6. Open SD Formatter 3 and make sure your SD Card is being shown in the Drive Dropdown Box.
7. You can enter whatever Volume Label you like. Then click the OPTION BOX.

Fire away !! I've got a useless 2gb here

I've ruined my sdcard
Just format the card in a photo camera.
Or do it like me, and format it in Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
Simple.
dude post the tut already.
Many people would appreciate this and not just HD2 users.
GG
I inserted my card in an external card reader and formatted it with SD formatter.
Worked perfectly.
Ok cool. Glad it worked. To each his own I guess lol...I myself do not own a digital card reader nor a digital camera or any apparatus to read Micro SD CARDs so this guide is what worked for me and I posted it to help people who may find themselves in my shoes.

I used Gpart and booting via MAGLDR --> USB Storage --> partitioned SD into a FAT32 and EXT3, so you're directly ready for Android NAND ROM

Genius! worked great! Thanks!
question: what do you mean by "ruined"? Other devices not recognizing the card or something else??
I have a 4GB card but my PC and Android read it as it has 200mb memory total... is that what happens???
I have WP7 now, so it means that its using the rest of my memory rite??
EDIT: Zune software says that i have 2gb free, so im guessing yea
it works!!
Genius, it works!!! thanks man.
To those who reflash back to an android nand
If you go back to an Android Nand build, and you have reflashed android back onto your phone, all you have to do to reformat your card is:
1) Make sure card is inserted in the phone
2) Go to SD card and phone storage under settings
3) Erase SD card data
I had a 32G card. After flashing WP7 all other devices could only read 200megs.
After following steps above, the SD card was reformatted back to 32G being readable by all devices.
No need to download any software, or use a Nokia. Anyway this worked for me, hope this helps
just worked perfect, thanks a lot!!
thank you, worked on both my micro sdhc cards
Is this a solution for a HTC HD2 Windows pHone 7 .... ? to get it work
works perfectly!!!! thanx a million
It just reorganize partitions in SDcard.
Alternativly you can just use any partitioning tool to fix the problem.
Fortunately,one of my SD cards came with a small Lexar card reader so i just used that in my usb port. I did notice that WP7 had used up just about all my memory on the card but the reader actually has an option to format,so i did that and now i have a clean 16GB card again. I saw a tutorial explaining how to put WP7 (well,the memory it uses on SD anyway) and Android from SD on the same card and i really want to try that but...with WP7,it keeps resetting itself after it recovers from sleep mode. if they can fix that,imma try it !!
Sweet! SD formatter is much faster than any Partition Manager! Thanks.
Exactly, I just get to the bootscreen, installed a new rom. Bye bye WP7, then in phone extra's SD Format and ready

help me roll my phone back

had a great froyo on the sd card working for months. i tried 7 and want to go back to the sd card version. I have read a need to roll back to 6.5, but when I try to go into the boot logger all it comes up as serial. are there simple directions to flash the chuck light rom back that i loved. realative noob here so please help in simple terms if we can or point me in the right direction. thanks
have you connected the usb cabel.
yes and it stays at serial in the bootloader
instead of running from pc put the files on your sd card and restart phone.

Just stick a stock WinMo rom on root of your sd card and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" then power up into bootloader and flash rom from card.
but when i open the boot loader it says serial, i cant change it to sd card or usb.
are you entering the tri colour screen 3 or 4 different colours on screen.
if you put the file on sd card and rename as above post says you dont need to press anything it will go straight to the LEOIMG.nbh file
somebody need to do a video on it on youtube????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas
its a 4 color screen
and since the win 7 is loaded it wont allow me to hook it with active sync so i could even put the old bootloader on.
have you tried putting the files on the sd card (format card 1st)
yeah, no luck with the files on sd card.
did u rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
ok. got back to 6.5. went to load android on my 16 gb card, which is now telling me its only 199 mb card...any ideas. stuck it in the computer to see if i could format it and it says its only 200 mb card?
yes when you put 7 on it it messes the card up use sd formatter you will get the full 16 back get it from here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
would of been nice a little thank you or summit.TUT TUT TUT.

Need help flashing stock rom from sd card

Ok guys I need some help here. My buddy's hd2's usb port will not work. I need to reflash windows back so he can send off for warranty. Anywho, when I follow steps to install windows from sd card it just sits at the bootloader screen. It reads as follows: PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
Help. Thanks. Scott
sd card must be 4gb or smaller. (Rarely people find a bigger one that works, but very very rarely) the supplied tmous 16gb card deff wont work.
I'm using a 2 gig that has been formatted properly.
fat32 formatted? which stock rom you trying? and are you correctly extracting and renaming leoimg.nbh?
Yes fat 32 formatted. Rom is:RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship.exe . Copied \RUU_signed.nbh to root of sd card and renamed it leoimg.nbh. When I power up phone to bootloader nothing happens.
strange. gotta go down the fault finding route then,
try formatting the card again, doing a full format, not quick, make sure there isn't still an ext partition or anything on there, re-download the rom, download a different version (2.10 or 2.13), try an alternative way to transfer the leoimg (example, the usb transfer in magldr can corrupt large files), try another card, , , happy bug hunting.

Male sure LEOIMG.nbh is on the root of the SD card (not in a folder). Also I've heard reports that the file is case sensitive, should be LEOIMG.nbh. format the SD card from within your phone if possible and try again.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I can vouch for the filename case not making any difference.
Thank you
Thanks for your help. My buddy had to send it in today because they sent him an hd7(boo), but at least he can sell it on craigslist. He is just going to send it in as is and hope for the best. He bought the phone off craigslist so he's just gonna play the dumb card and say he thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Can't hurt. Thanks again, Scott.
