I think i have finally made a brick

I did something really silly 2 days ago.
Playing with the HD, i was looking at the sd card and saw old 1.14 spl as an nbh file, and thought, i think i might go back o scratch and start fresh. So i knew running 1.56 roms, that i would get the green screen and thought, well i know how to fix that, and proceeded to update the spl first--- what a mistake that turned out to be.
Now i hear u say just hook it up to activesync-- well there is my second problem- activesync wont see the phone in any of 3 usb 2.0 ports on my laptop.
Put it into bootloader when hooked up, and i get the tri color screen and it says
Blac120 32M RUUNBH
SPL-1.14.0000
MicroP-Blackstone(LED) V6
Upgrade Rom Code error
Please try again
USB doesnt show at the bottom where it usually says Serial.
When i remove the usb cable, it says serial, and when i plug it back in, it wont disappear.
The phone will not do anything except go into bootloader screen everytime i turn it on.Even just by pressing on button, with sd dard removed. Once on, i have to remove the battery to turn it off.
My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Very appreciating Frank in Australia

"My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card."
You answered your own question. If you've got the bootloader, you don't have a brick. Do that, and you should be fine.

Yeah i understand this,but what i really need to know is the stock rom- is it possible to download it as a Signed Ruu-NBH file so i can upload via sd card?
Thanks for your response
Still looking and trying to find it
Frank

I am not sure but i think you can extract the nbh file from the original htc stock rom.exe file.i do not want to say anything stupid but maybe after that you can update from the card.Someone correct me if i am wrong.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Yes you can extract the nbh file from the shipped rom. On your pc, right click on the shipped rom.exe and select "Extract Files.....". Then rename the extracted RUU_signed.nbh file to BLACIMG.nbh, copy to your sd card and flash. Good luck.

disable <allow usb connections> in the connection settings of active sync.. this might be the reason..of thd not being detected on usb connection in bootloader mode!
use MTTY .. erases almost everything on ram except bootloader..
or u can flash a stock rom

Thank you everyone for your advice. I have now managed to extract nbh from stock 1.14 rom, wwe as i need, and it goes 1 step further by saying loading, checking and then an error or 020002 appears and says not allow
. So i wonder if this means hspl needs to be re-installed???

HTC HD2 stuck at boot loader... help please.

Hi all,
Before I post here I have googled over the internet looking for a solution and i have read alot but no success, i have tried many different suggested solutions but all have failed, so that I'm here to ask who have faced a similar situation of me.
My HTC HD2 was having SPL-1.42 with its original stock ROM, then I decided to upgrade for a cooked ROM so that I installed the HSPL then it became SPL-1.42 HSPL, that was fine then I'm were able to upgrade to any cooked ROM, I have flashed my device with many different ROMs even the stock ones, every thing were very fine till I upgraded to the stock ROM of leo 2.10 "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship" by via the MicroSD card and now stuck with the SPL-2.08 as shown in the attached photos.
I tried to flash again using the EXE file from my PC but it take very long time the fail even with the original stock ROM of my device, and I tried to flash using the SD card but it take very long time just showing a white screen labeled "loading..." and no more activity.
I attached some photos showing the problem.
I know its my fault because I did not read the warning in the text file that included with the ROM folder "Do not flash using the MicroSD"
So that, I'm looking for a solution... please help..
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
Note: pardon me about my poor English.

Heya i think ur stuck now on that SPL 2.08 havent heard any1 succeeding in putting hspl on it atleast from what ive read.
The cause is because u flashed that Tmous ROM trough MicroSD which overwrites the hspl.
I think if u had read the stickies more carefully this could be avoided but u can still flash Tmous roms some1 correct me if im wrong. hope this helps a bit

Thanks for replaying,
yeah you are right I have to be more careful but now its done and stuck with SPL 2.08.
anyway, I have tried to falsh it using Tmous ROMs but it faild, it says "this device is not suitable for this ROM" then exit, by the way, my device is the Asia version and I tried to flash it using the new officially updated ROM from htc.com but it also failed, it take very long time more than 15 minutes with no activity the I disconnect the USB from the device to save the battery charge, I'm afraid to stuck with a dead battery. When I disconnect it the upgrading software on my PC asking me to restart the device and reconnect it again then I did, the official upgrading software recognise the device then start to flash it but it stuck at beginning of the flashing process it just change the screen of the device to the back background with the progress bar its reading 0% and take very long time then i disconnect it.
by the way, is the any way to downgrade the SPL to 1.42 ?
any help please..
Thank you.

Last week I also face this problem. But I'm not using SD card to flash the room.
However, I backup my sd card then format the card, it become will afther this.

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did, removed the battery for about 10 seconds and flashed the original ROM. Then reflashed HSPL. It worked for me.

Thank you all for replaying..
I tried to do as you did but no success at all.
well, what next ?
Thank you

i personally save my stock rom in SD card for future use in case of emergency.

You must use GoldCard repaired your device .Look here (Post 31 & 41) Repaired (with any Goldcard ) HD2 damaged when the flash rom TMOUS with memory card :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=640183&page=4
You must change Tmous 2.07 ( in guideline article ) replaced by your ship rom 2.10.

Ok this is solution for that problem

no success yet..
but i'm confused about how to use the goldcard ?
I tried to you the attached goldcard.img from the post Id=640183&page=4 but no success.
is the goldcard.img dedicated to a specific device based on its CID ? or it can be used for any device ?
Thank you

Surely XDA Mods should take down the SD card method as there are about 10 threads a week of flashing the 2.10 ROM via SD card and getting stuck cause they don't read enough before hand - if the SD card method isn't there people won't brick their phones!!

{Solved} HTC HD2 stuck at beet loader...
Hi all,
finally I got my device running
by flashing it using Goldcard method, I bought the PSAS software and flashed it using Tmous 2.10 and now it is running fine.
well, the steps as the following:
1- getting the CID of the SD card that you are going to use for flashing you device, I used linux OS to get the CID of my SD card by:
linux host #>more /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
that will give you the CID of the SD card.
2- Start the PSAS software and must be registered then go to Calculations/Generators then select Generate HTC goldcard.
3- then click "Save Goldcard Image to file", rename it whatever you wanna name for example "goldcard.img".
4- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk image..
5- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk...
6- then click on "goldcard.img" tab then select the lines from 00000000 to 00000170 all the file content by high lighting it, then select Edit -> Copy.
7- then go to the disk tab the containing the sd card, then select the same addresses (00000000-00000170) then Edit -> Paste Write, then save the new content.
8- copy a leoimg.nbh to the SD card, its recommended to get it from the ROM that bricked your device. I'm used Tmous 2.10.
9- insert the SD card into your device then boot it to the bootloader by holding the volume switch down while your switching the device on.
10- wait for the menu to appear and follow the instruction to complete.
Thats work from me and should work for you.
by the way, I flashed US Tmous while my device is Asian.
Thank you all
and
Best regards
if you have your CID I may help you to generate the suitable goldcard.img for your device.

I think I've read that even though you are stuck on spl 2, now that you have it running you should be able to flash roms with sspl but you won't be able to change the radio.
HTML:

till now I'm not sure about the radio, any way, I'm trying to hack it, i successfully initiated the process of radio upgrading but it failed at 99%.
we gonna do it one day...

I also bought PSAS and used my old TP to goldflash the card. Then flashed it with the TMOUS ROM using SD method. After that it game back to life and only way to flash other roms is using sspl. Only thing now is that I'm stuck with this TMOUS initial splash screen.

Also you can change the splash screen using SSPL,till now you can change what ever you wanna change using SSPL except the radio and SPL flashing.
now i'm looking for flashing the radio with some how.

tamAyT:
SD card method should be used a last resort and only if you know what you're doing - it's a million times easier to use HSPL and ActiveSync as if it fails it's easy to recover. I've never used the sd card method and after reading what it can do if you don't read into the ROM well enough it's not worth the hassle IMO

HAHAHA.
For me changing the first 2 00 in de hex edit of the goldcard to 11 fixed the issue.
Radio 2.08 is greate.. SPL 2.08 is greate... So no problems a.t.m., if I need a stock rom I use SSPL...
But then again I hope someone comes with HSPL 2.x tho.

[Q] How to use a Goldcard

Oke guys here's my queston.
First look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939763&page=3
My radio is probably bricked, so now i'm trying to use a goldcard:
I managed to get the CID of my SD card.
Reversed the CID of the 2 Gb is: 009b000a6daf00804732305553445303
With a little help of this forum i now have a goldcard and put an original LEOIMG on the goldcard.
Still no solution, the bootscreen flashes off/on 1 time and then returned into bootscreen. No attempt of flashing seen. What went wrong??
Thanks in advance!

first the obvious questions, (quite often its somethign dead simple) ,
you extracted ruu_signed.nbh and didnt just rename the whole .exe to .nbh?
How did you write the .img to the card? ? you
How did you get the CID?
let me have the two CIDS (dont reverse them or anything, just as you got them) and an email address and ill make you an image for each disk, that way you have three to try.

on a normal sd card, this usually indicates either wrong stock rom being used (sure the rom you are using is for your region AND carrier?((if locked)), or an sd card that isn't set up right (freshly format it, FAT32 )
It might point to the goldcard image being wrong, or incorrectly written to the card.

I extracted the original HTC HD2 dutch rom, took of the ruu_signed.nbh, copied it to the goldcard en renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh
I got the CID by using a working adroid phone together with the tutorial from "theunlocker.com" (sdk/adb-app en hex-app)
The 2 onreversed CID's are:
1gb
035344535530314780606ca6f10079a6
2gb
03534453553032478000af6d0a009b8e
emailaddress: [email protected]
thanks!

Hey Magazijn if your problem is not a hardware issue then you have the right guy working with you now. Samsamuel will have you up and running again I am sure of it. Just remember though if you are using USB to flash and not SD card then always put your HD2 into bootloader and wait for the USB tben flash this is a trusted method. And don't forget to click Samsamuel's thanks button when he gets you going. Peace.

heh, cheerleader fees in the post.
@OP sorry for the delay, theres a step by step to double check you are writing teh image correctly HERE

Thanks for the quick solution samsamuel, but still the same problem.
After Boot the screen builds up again in boot and that's it.
So i think it's an hardware radioproblem with can't be fixed.
Should a hardware repair help me out?
Last question i used original dutch LEOIMG (winmo 6.5), can i use another (android of winmo) rom?
If yes, which would you prefer.
Again thank for your help, i appreciate it.

hmm, not sure what to suggest. As i said b4, a brief 'loading' then back to bootloader usually indicates the wrong rom. Are you sure your phone is an unbranded dutch phone? did you download that rom with your serial number from the htc website? (it will only let you download correct roms if you use serial)
This shouldnt matter if the goldcard is working, but if you KNOW its the correct rom, it can be discounted as the cause.

[Q] How to sync when in white screen error?

Hi Guys,
I'm kinda stuck here, hope you'll be able to help:
Situation is as follows:
I have an HTC Leo, and after 2 months of usage - got the white screen:
1. Tried soft reset - no good
2. Tried hard reset - no good
3. Cannot sync to PC with ActiveSync - does not detect the device
4. Can go to boot mode, but only with voulme down+soft reset button
5. Cannot sync in boot mode as well - there appears to be a "USB" writing at the bottom, (white line on boot mode) though ActiveSync does not detect via usb?
6. Tried to install HSPL2 - starts to install, never finishes, proggress bar goes up and down forever (on PC) - I believe device needs to be synced before installing?
7. Device is enabled in the device manager, though cannot explore - thus no access to SD card
8. Here we go, I seem to do something wrong, PLEASE HELP, I payed for the device about 400E in my country, stock warranty is not an option
9. HEEEEEEEEEELP
10. Thanks!!!

Try flashing the stock ROM for your HD2 via SD card. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 then go to T-Mobile.com to download the ROM you will have to enter the IzmEI number from under your battery to download it. If you have a international HD2 go to HTC.com and enter your serial number that is under your battery to getca list of ROMs you can download and install on your HD2. If the ROM is a .exe you will have to right click it and renamecthe file .zip to view the contents. After that follow the instructions in the thread linked below to flash the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317

[Q] Thanks
Hi, thanks for the info,
When I go to HTC homepage, i find "Rom Upgrades" - is that the same as the ROM itself?
Sorry if the q is dum ,I'm completely new in this
And also - does the card have to be empty (only ROM in) so that the phone boots it?
Thanks again

Yeah that is what you are looking for. The ROM upgrades is the most recent official ROMs out for the HD2. Just make sure you use your serial number to make sure you get a ROM that is for your HD2 or you will not be able to flash it unless you get HSPL on your HD2. Also make sure the HTC site you are on is for your part of the world, your country or the country the HD2 originated from.

[Q] Hi again, last q
When I Explore the contents of the rom I see numerous files, and reading the instructions you linked tells me to rename an image. The ROM is an exe, so I renamed it to zip , explored and currently I see only one .nbh file:
RUU_signed.nbh
Should I rename this one to LEOIMG.nbh and copy this file only to SD card? Or rename and leave there, take the whole exe and put it into the SD Card?
Would that be sufficient to run the ROM in bootload?
Thanks again brother, you're a lifesaver

Just take and copy the RUU_signed.nbh file make a copy ofcthe file and past it to your desktop and then rename it to LEOIMG.nbh then copy that file to the root of your SD card. All you have to have is the .nbh file but it has to be named LEOIMG.nbh.
You can also flash a radio, splash screen, and MAGLDR this way if need be. But you would still have to flash CWM via custom RUU via USB if you installed MAGLDR.

Great - now "Radio fail" - update terminated... any ideas?

Sorry I had to get some sleep, anyway I suggest you first make a backup copy of your SD card and then reformat your SD card using the Panosonic Mick SD card formatting software, just Google it you will find it. Do a full wipe of hour cardcand format it using Fat 32. Then copy the LEOIMB.nbh to your card and try it again. Also try to use a card no bigger than a 8GB as bigger SD cards are prone to give people problems when flashing via SD card. Note I did not say they will notcflash a ROM, bit they sometimes give people trouble.
Also I forgot to tell you this morning that if your HD2 says USB in the white bar of bootloader and it also says HTC USB sync in the device manager in the control panel of your computer, then you have a Sync connection to your computer but you can not use this connection for anything bit to flash different software to your HD2.

[Q] Hi Buddy, 10x for staying so long :)
Sorry brother,
I really appreciate your help so far.
Same Sh*t - even after FAT 32 format
When tried to upgrade with the official HTC ROM - "RUU_signed...." (not via SD) HTC boot screen appeared, but after 1% said : Image corrupted". It coud be that the stock rom sucks big time. May be try with some Artemis?

Yeah maybe you got a bad download of the ROM. If that was the only official ROM you could down load. I would try to download it againcand delete the first copy you downloaded, or I would flash HSPL. to my HD2 and then try to flash the stock ROM are a custom ROM. Custom ROMs are better than stock ROMs anyway. Just remember though if you have a warranty and you need to send your HD2 in for warranty work or exchange you need to revert your HD2 back to complete stock. This means ROM, radio, and SPL.

Restoring to default everything (firmware)??

After hours of searching I was unable to find a guide on how to return the HD2 to complete stock firmware. That being said, my HD2 is currently running CWM/NAND Android and I have a warranty exchange replacement coming. Can anyone offer me some info on flashing my phone back to the 100% stock WM 6.5 (this includes removing the Cotulla hspl)? I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!

Find original WM 6.5 that is for your phone, load into the bootloader (volume down while booting) and install original RUU file

Firstly, go to either HTC Website (for unbranded hd2) or to your carrier website (for a branded hd2).
Secondly, download the rom from there, and make sure the file you downloaded is not CORRUPTED due to interupted download or antivirus scanning.
Thirdly, charge your battery until at least 50% capacity. Turn off your hd2. Remove the micro sd card. Format it (after you back up all your data).
Fourthly, extract the downloaded file above, you can use 7zip or winrar or winzip. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh then rename it to: leoimg.nbh
Fifthly, copy the file: leoimg.nbh to the root directory of your micro sd card. (copy it using card reader)
Sixthly, insert your sd card to your hd2. Now, go into boot loader mode by: PRESSING the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and the POWER ON BUTTON at the SAME TIME until the four color screen appear and let it become white.
Seventhly, follow the onsreen instruction to flash the rom.
Good luck......
