Hello,
I'm a noob, through and through. I think that I did everything correctly. I flashed Artemis v8.0 and followed the instructions, then it said that it was completed successfully. When it boots, however, it gets stuck on the "stick together" screen and displays the R G and D information in the bottom-left as it should. Also, when I access the bootloader and re-run the flash, I see no image version information listed. I should mention that the flashing process only took about two minutes. I already did a hard reset.
Did I do something wrong? What do I do?
Update: I tried flashing KUMAR and have the same results; the only dirrerence is that the information listed for D has changed to 1.66.KUMAR... oh my...
...Wow.... I can't believe it. It won't turn it on at all after flashing the original LEO ROM. Looks like I'm toast now...****...
What radio are you running? What model phone is it?
The radio is default. I didn't touch that. I installed HSPL then flashed a couple of ROMs, none of which worked. I think that I may have flashed the wrong version of the official LEO ROM fromthe sticky. So, it looks like I'm screwed. The best way to learn from your mistakes is to lose $500.
you still didnt say what phone, tmous is different from all other hd2's
if its a tmous, then yea, i suspect its gone. (it was possibly recoverable at your first and second posts, cos that was roms that dont support 576meg ram, so flashing a tmous specifric rom would(i think) have fixed it, but what official rom did you flash? anything other than the tmous 2.10 rom will have had a bad radio, and as we all know by now, the wrong radio bricks tmous's
(Edit - sorry, didn't mean to rub it in, just wanted to explain what had happened at each step)
I flashed LEO 1.48 (WWE) from the stickied thread. I can't post the link because I'm new. I don't even know what TMOUS means, so I suspect that's not a good thing. It's the model with 1024 MB ROM is all that I know. If I can find out exactly what, let me know.

Yea, tmous is T Mobile US. They will ONLY accept roms of the 2.10 family. Thats why your first 2 rom flashes failed.
However the damage was done by the radio. Stock roms come with a radio as part of the rom, and the official rom you flashed is oooold. Certainly it has a ..51.. radio.
Any radio with ..51.. in the version will not support the 576meg ram that the tmous has, and as it turns out, they stop the phone even powering on. (or powers on but black screen, the PC sees it as a qualcomm usb device, if it sees it at all.)
I've yet to see anyone offer any kind of fix, though i have seen people say they have had it replaced by tmob.
Unlucky.

So, I now have a couple of options. I could go back to the store and play dumb, or I could physically damage it and pay the $150 or so to get it replaced. Thoughts?

So if they don't take it back, would they take note of the fact that my warranty is voided so I couldn't go ahead and pay the $150 for a new one? I really appreciate your help.
if they figure out the warranty its void im sure they'll still fix it, they'll just charge for it.

Alright, they took it back no questions asked. I'm going to actually end up saving $200 because of this - my contract is up in a week! Thanks for your help, samsamuel. Great community here. Now I just hope I'm not stupid enough to try it again!
heh so there is a silver lining after all.
you used HSPL?
if you did that and you go back to store make sure you dont have HSPL more on your phone!!!!!!
I have made the same mistake, i flash the rom energy 1apr , the flash was made succesfuly end phone was started normal and functioned , i close the phone and when i opened him , the phone stock on the wake up screen ( htc on white screen ). what kan I do?, please help me
i had some how same problem before like Sticking in boot screen
1. i tried hard reset hold Volume up+down and press end button till it will start and then it will ask you if you wanna do reset and press volume up for accept after that finish it will ask again to press volume up for boot then it would boot. if does then you need to correct the radio and also ROM which is correct for you
2. another is task29 method
let me know if you could make it...
thanx , i am at work , bath will try later
@costinn : try to flash the proper Radio ROM. It happened to a lot of people because they do not learn about the radio compatibility! Try 2.08.50.08 and you will be fine!

Hi guys, I've a problem with my HD2 and maybe one of you has an idea of how to fix this, because I really don't want to send it in for a repair
Anyway, my phone decided to refuse to boot out of nowhere. When it happened I had Artemis v9 or v10 installed on it. The funny thing is that I didn't flash anything when the problem occured.
Whenever I start the phone I only get a white screen. Luckily, I can still access the bootloader, even thought that didn't help me until now.
my guess is that the Radio is somehow corrupted, because when I try to flash a new one I get the error saying "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated". Not even flashing with task 29 works, because I get a "Error 270" and the phone restarts itself after like 4% of flashing.
I'm really out of ideas, I tried to flash a lot of different roms and radios, even the rom that the HD2 came shipped with.

What radio (if any) have you flashed? Check the ROM's dedicated thread you want to flash and see if the radio is compatible.
Im betting you've flashed the wrong radio
take the rom it was shipped with, name the nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh, copy it to your sd card and go into bootloader.
it will flash your old rom and should overwrite the old radio.
DN41
I installed Radio 2.06.51.07, which was recommended as far as I know.
I tried to install every "official" rom that I could find, but no matter if I apply them via SD card, USB or .exe, the install never finishes.
Tried to install just the OS without a radio and that worked, so I'm almost sure it is somehow radio related.
Now the problem is that I can't even send it to T-Mobile, because I there is no way to get rid of HSPL. BTW, it's the german T-Mobile we are talking about, not the US one. Is there a chance they won't notice the HSPL...?
so flash this one over sd-card: german t-mobile 1.72
what about performing hardreset? does the phone boot?
DN41
Tried flashing the TMO rom, but no luck either
Hard reset is strangly fast (only takes like 7 seconds) and only gives me a white screen after reboot. Apperently the HD2 shows me that HSPL is intsalled in the bootloader, but I can't change the SPL...
Already tried HSPL2, but no matter what option I choose, my bootloader always stays at 1.42 HSPL.
Edit: I would like to post pics of the error I get when flashing from the sd card or the bootloader screen, by the board rules don't want new users to post links.

I have exactly the same problem.
I believe radio hardware of my HD2 has failed.
This is not related to flashing an incompatible radio, as I have flashed 1.66 official ROM about three months ago and had no problems until now.
I got the white screen, when phone was in my pocket.
Not possible to update radio, update fails with "Radio_V2 failed" and "Update Terminated".
Not possible to flash any rom, flashing fails when it comes to radio part.
MTTY didn't help as well.
I see no way but to send it back for repair.
Hope they dont realize HSPL, as it is also not possible to change SPL right now.
Hi everybody, i am facing the same issues with my knew HD2. The fact is that i received it yesterday, while trying to flsah ENERGY ROM ..i flashed also the radio .. now got the white screen with the HTC green logo, and no way to hard reset ... phone doesn't boot, can't do anything !!!!!! volume + and volume - doesn't work !!! any idea any solution ?? I am about to try flashing with the memory card but no idea if it will work, im not sure cause even the HSPL doenst appear ... anu idea ?
I've got the same problem
Mine is a Telstra (Australian) HD2, and I've been using it for about 3 weeks fine. Then a few days ago, I took it out of my pocket, and it's dead. With my one, most of the time I just get a blank screen (no HTC), and most of the time it's slightly yellow.
I'm having the exact same problems, and have done everything suggested on this page, and others. I can't send mine back either.
I'm guessing since no one's replied, there's not really a solution to this.
If it is a failed radio, I'm amazed how easily they fail, and how many people seem to have this problem.
I have the same problem today. Anybody help?

i had the same problem with my Telstra T9193. i couldnt find any solutions so its on its way back to australia under warrenty.
I had a similar problem to this, though it appears I just fixed it. I can only imagine it's just a temporary fix though, as I previously managed to get it working and running Android only to white screen again the next day.
I did a hard reset and now it loaded the white HTC screen and nothing else. I tried installing a stock ROM from the MicroSD card and got the same "Update Terminated Update Fail" error because of the Radio. Retried the update about 3 times, and it eventually installed fine.
same here, i reloaded a stock from sd to relock it, which i highly recommend for anyone having this problem - in case it needs to go for repair and it just happens to boot..it took quite a few tries to have a proper flash and it booted only a few tries afterwards and then went back to only booting the white htc screen. so frustrating. and unfortunately for me it has to go back to australia for warrenty and will likely take ages to get back
I was stuck at multi color boot screen after hard reset. Tried multiple roms.
Solution: Use the 2.13 rom from here. Worked thankfully!

After being looooong on this forum, I finally got my first bricked HTC. I got all the same problems, white screen, no way to get HSPL gone, and no update via SD possible, no ROM update via USB in bootloader and no radio update possible...
Anybody knows how much it costs if I send it to HTC and they find yout it has been HSPL-ed?
Next with the bricked HD2
So definitely I´m in the same situation.. I have unusable SMARTPHONE!!
Even worse, because in my case i have no chance to send it to warranty repair - I was too disparate and curious so I opened my HD2 to look for an backup battery to erase everything that could have resist my countless tries to reflash, hardreset, flash RADIO, flash ROMs...
At the begging was the same (btw the same is still) : I took my phone and it did´t answer for waking it up. So I pressed red button to (soft)reset it. But it booted only to white screen (not the HTC one but "pure" withe w/o logo, w/o software info but with slightly yellow hue)
This was almost whole week ago... During that time I tried almost everything (I don´t have gold card - since I can´t get CID of any SD card I´m not able to have one and have installed HSPL 2.08 I´m ABLE to FLASH any ROM - even successfully reflashed cooked ROM via SD Card.!!) and the answer for me is probably some hardware problem....

I'm sorry, I just sent my to the repair center. Hope they will repair it under warranty. Otherwise it will cost me 100 Euro, just to find out I have to pay for the repairs. Then I can choose to let the device there (then I don't pay 100 euro) or let the device ship back (I pay 100 euro for a brick) or let them do the repairs which they will say how much it will cost on top of that 100 euro ..... stress ....

With the radio bricked there are only two things you can try to do:
1- You can go on using your hd2 without updating the radio. Try to download a rom without radio and install it, or ask a cook to prepare a rom (you can try an official rom if you want to recover the original SPL) without radio for you.
2 - Do what I did and sell the phone as bricked, because there's no way to unbrick radio system. I tried to save my HD2 by recovering the original SPL and sending the phone to the htc customer service. I got the phone back after 2 months and it was still radio bricked

so i flashed my phone with the wrong radio i believe but the strange thing is that my computer recognizes it. the doesnt turn on at all but i here the sound of a device being plugged in when i plug it into winodws. is there a chance its not bricked?
the sound doesn't necessarily indicate much.
what did you do? specifics, please?
can you get into bootloader?
i was trying to flash a stock rom and i guess it didnt work?

You may try and follow this solution, I suggested earlier. Click here
Let us know if it worked.
sorry i was vague, i was in a rush to get to work this morning and on top of it i was panicking. i flashed the stock image:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
i tried that on a hd2 so i could flash hspl3 again and use wp7 on my hd2.
i ended up just sending it in, but if they send it back with no repairs ill try your method... i relly hope they just send me a new one though. i mean... i flashed a stock image to the hd2, so shouldnt they see no hspl and just the stock spl?
again, more details are needed.
like what type of hd2 do you have? if it is a us tmo brand, i believe it is bricked (as you flashed a .51 radio.)
if you flashed your stock rom from your sd card, hspl is removed. if you flashed over usb, and did not uninstall hspl, hspl is still there.
what i don't get is if you can flash a rom, why are you saying it is bricked? no offense, but each post seems to change the story (first it was a rom, the a radio, now you are flashing roms but sending the phone in, still don't know if you can get into booloader, but now you sent the phone in or is it in your possession???) and i am not following what you did, where you started or what is going on. maybe i am totally missing what you are saying (which is possible)...hope someone can help you.
i have the 1024 us tmous hd2. i tried to flash to a stock rom, forget i said radio. i tried to flash the .51 which i did not know would brick my phone, so i played dumb with htc and sent it in to get repaired. if they dont repair it i am kinda SOL because i flashed using usb and they will see it has HSPL. sorry, do i need to include anything else? i am just kinda a noob... sorry.
i swear i posted a response. hmm.
thank you for the details. your assessment of the situation is spot on; unfortunately your phone is indeed bricked. and likely htc will not know about hspl...or so i have heard from others.
curious, why did you send it to htc? did tmobile reject it? if not, and htc doesn't give you a new one, try getting it to tmobile (under warranty)- worked for me when the phone stopped working for unknown reason. good luck.
possible to make it back to work...?

No if you can still get the bootloader to come up you have not bricked your HD2.
How did you flash the ROM via your computer and USB cable or via your SD card? Will your HD2 just not boot all the way into Windows Mobile? I need as much info as you can give.
i think you just bricked it. Like lawl, i'm sorry but I have no sympathy for this, you flashed your HD2 with the wrong rom. xD You shoulda read and researched before jumping into the fire. xD
Well if you can still get into the multi colored screen, then flash the right rom for it, which would be a t-mobile rom, since you said there is a t-mobile logo at the top.
Well as stated above also, if you can get into the tri color screen, you haven't bricked your device.

Well i connected my device via usb and ran the .exe file. It completed 100% but it remains stuck at the htc boot logo. Took out the battery and restarted it but it just remains stuck at the htc screen.
The reason i wanted to do this was because i installed magldr and i got to that black screen with like 10 or 11 options and tried flashing a rom but it wouldnt work so i wanted to start all over.

Yes go to T-Mobile.com and in the search bar there type in HTC HD2 update you will find it. The T-Mobile site will ask you to enter your IMEI number, this can be found by removing the battery cover and battery. The IMEI will be an a sticker behind the battery. Enter it and you will be abale to download the official T-Mobile update it will have ROM 3.14.531.1 and radio 2.15.50.14..
With a TMOUS HD2 you have to make zure the ROM is compatible with a TMOUS HD2. Even more important youmust make sure the radio that will be flashed is TMOUS compatible, are you will brick your TMOUS HD2. To see a list of TMOUS radios go to here .
Edit: Do not use one of the ROMs from the above link. Sorry I know the above poster was trying to help but you have a T-Mobile HD2 so you really need to get the official ROM from T-Mobile. The link he give is to the HTC site and if you download the wrong ROM by accident andflash it you will brick your HD2.
Oh yeah oops. Sorry, my bad, didn't even read the thing.
Note: This update is not intended for use on T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2, and doing so may have undesired side effects.

It is all cool Skellyyy, I know you were trying to help. The thing is us TMOUS owners have to be very carful when it comes to flashing. We have to read very carefully what we are flashing. minumal if we flash the wrong ROM but it has the right radio, like what appears to have happen to LoveisPeace 2012, our HD2 will just not boot up into Win Mo but still go into bootloader. If we flash the wring radio or HD2 is bricked, dead, done, nomore.

Works both ways man, if you's flash the wrong radio, your phones bricked. But... you's have more internal memory not needing to partition your SD card.

You are very correct Skellyyy the wrong radio to any HTC HD2 will brick the phone no matter what model it is. But the TMOUS model is a lot more suseptable to this as it can only use TMOUS compatible radios. Most other models such as the European model and etc. can use most radios, and I said most not all, that or out there. This is why so many new TMOUS HD2 owners brick there phone cause you really have to read and study to find this info about the radio.

the regular hd2 can use them all. Worst that happens on a regular hd2 is you put a 51 radio on a 576meg enabled rom, and teh phone hangs at boot screen till you change the radio, and thats a rom issue, not the phone thats incompatible.

Thank you samsamuel for setting me straight yet again you have taught me something. Ihave to set and process this information now.
While hittiing the thanks button.
Oh yeah LoveisPeace 2012 what's up with your HD2???
hehe, it matters less and less nowadays, since most set ups require ..50.. radios anyway, so we all use tmous radios.
this has probably been asked 100 times, but I can't seem to find a solution from searching.... I purchased a hd2 off craigslist, they said had a bad battery... my first mistake... so I get it home and hook it up to a charger and boot it, it hangs on splash screen... so I try to just go ahead and flash a 2.**.50.** radio to goo ahead and install MAGLDR, it hangs at 96%, for like 30 minutes, so I pull the battery, reboot and get a black screen, so I try to flash a shipped rom via SD, again hangs at radio.... try task29, stuck at 99%.... any solutions? or am I bricked?
What happens if you try flash via SD?
I'm currently trying to revive my HD2 too and somehow, flash via SD doesn't even start
Do you still got access to the bootloader?

and all usb updates hang at 99% so I can't get it to boot either...
Battery out, sim and SD out, but a radio leoimg.nbh prepared on SD card.
Phone into sealed bag, into fridge / freezer for a while till its nice and chilled, battery in, SD card in, try flash it, and keep trying,, some threads (some,, this isn't guaranteed by any means) say it suddenly worked on the tenth, twentieth, or more attempt.
if it does work, its likely indicative of connections going bad through heat wear, or similar.

I skipped the radio attempt, and went to flash magdlr... got it loaded but now I can't get the menu up?
Magldr will not work without 2.08.Hspl PLUS a ..50.. radio.
You are gonna have to fix your stuck radio first most likely.

A few questions here as the answers may better help people here help you out better. What does your HD2 say in bootloader. Also is your HD2 a T-Mobile Leo or a EU model as this is very nuch need to know information. Information is key when it comes to someone assisting you so the more info the better.
If you have the T-Mobile Leo I suggest you go and download the official update ROM from t-mobile.com. If you have a EU or another model you should go to htc.com and find the correct ROM for your HD2. Sometimes it is best toflash the official ROM as it reverts everything splash screen, SPL, radio, and ROM if you flash it via SD card. This will allow you to just start over and maybe not incounter any problems. You can flash it via USB also but it will not revertigo any HSPL if it is installed.
Also like Samsamuel said if putting your HD2 into a bag and the frig or freezer for a little while helps it boot then it has started having a thermal breakdown of the connections between the CPU (processor) and the mainboard. In this case the only fix is to replace the mainboard in the HD2 as the CPU is not replacable.

My appologies, it is a TMO branded HD2, and even with a shipped rom it hangs at radio install... anything else I flash to it, takes without problem, it is just the radio... I am figuring I got screwed and this is a brick.... thank you for your time...

Just an update...
I flashed everything with the phone in the freezer, and flashed fine, now after about 5 minutes of use, I have a hang that forces me to do a battery pull... after that I get the 7 vibrates of death on boot... pull the battery again and put in the freezer and it works good for about 5 to 10 minutes of use, however if I only use it for texting and nothing 'smartphone esque' I can keep it on for a couple hours.... guessing the mainboard is shot because of the thermal coupling or something...

Yes your problem is thermal related but it has nothing to do with a thermal coupling LOL It has to do with the heat breaking down the connection between the processor and the mainboard. You can either replace the mainboard or go to the thread I linked below and try the OP's fix, plus you can learn a whole lot more about what your problem is.

if you are a techie at all you should try the link 3 posts back...
So, up until recently i used the Nexus-HD2 Gingerbread rom with NAND.
I installed HardSPl, and MAGDLR and switched to another radio, cant remember what type. Anyhow it functioned perfectly and i have used my phone without any problems for 2-3 months.. up until yesterday when i took the phone out of my pocket and found it with a white screen, turned it off and it went right back into the white screen, so i thougt ye, lets just do a install from scratch, but that was not so easy as i first tought.
This is what i have tried so far :
Flash radio with USB (error 270 corrupted image)
Flash MAGDLR (error 270 corrupted image)
Flash HSPL (error 270 corrupted image)
Wipe29 (error 270 corrupted image)
Install with SD card original Norway build (tried 3 different stock rooms) stopps on "Update radio V2" and reboots into HSPL
Myttw without any succsess..
Tried installing clw.. no succsess..
What more can i possibly do? I have found posts regarding this problem before, but no ones seems to find a solution. I have concluded that it is a Radio problem.. I can also read people saying as long as "HSPL" are working you are good to go, and the phone is not bricked...
Can anyone help me out here?
Currently the phone starts and stopps in HSPL, i CAN use the USB cabel, and the text changes from Serial to USB..
could be hardware issue.
put it in a plastic bag in the fridge for 15 minutes, then take it out and reflash stock ROM from SD.
Kidding me? Seriously?
No luck with the phone in the fridge trick, still Radio_V2Fail "Update terminate UPDATE FAIL"

just to make sure, you got your stock ROM thru the HTC support page right?
At the OP, it sounds like you have what is referred to a stuck radio which seemscto be a hardware problem. Your HD2 is not bricked but you will probably have to put another mainboard in your HD2 to make it work again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Yeah if you can't flash a radio you're screwed man.
What does it say in the bootloader?
If it says HSPL you might be super-screwed because it's warranty void
It kinda says HSPL in my bootloader
But it is hardware related right? So all in all it is something the warranty should cover? It has nothing to do with the HSPL and MGDLR, its plain hardware related aight?
Can i buy motherboard someplace? Cause the repaircenters have sick prices..

Doesn't matter, the warranty is void if you flashed HSPL, lol, they know damn well you didn't mess up the device but they still make you pay for it.
a motherboard is a ***** and half to replace if you're not "super solder master 5000" but if you feel up to the task I'd get it online somewhere on the cheap.
Try this to maybe save your ass.
put it in bootloader and try to flash stock SPL using HSPL4.
Do you have the tmobile spash screen?
what else does it say in bootloader?
I've also had success before taking out the battery, leave it out for a couple hours, then try to flash stock ROM again. Don't ask me why but I've had failed flashes work like that before.
Let me see.. øhm.
It's not the T-mobile version, saw a instruction video on the net on how to replace the motherboard, didn't look toooo hard, i think i could make it, but i cant find motherboards, and HTC customer service said thay would not ship one for me, as i had to deliver it to one of their service centers.. and they wanted like 200 $ just for the board, wtf..
When i boot i get into HSPL, i can see CotuellaHSPL 0x50, also SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE. And also "Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again.".
Tried flashing back to stock SPL, but that did not work either..
Il leave the batt out for some hours and see if i get lucky.. if anybody have an extra board i would gladly purchase it.
