Wont boot - HD2 General

I tried flashing my first ROM on to the GSM unlocked HD2, the rom came with both the RUU and the nbh files, however, after i finished the onscreen wizard from the ruu, when i went to boot up my phone, it is stuck at the HTC screen.
I can boot into serial mode, and can do a system restore. But it is still stuck at the HTC screen when booted.
What should I do to get the ROM on to the device and have it boot normally?
any help is appreciated

you can still boot the phone into the bootloader correct?
when in bootloader connect your phone to your computer with your usb cable
once the connection is established it should change from 'serial' to 'usb' in the bootloader
now from your computer, flash your phone's stock rom
if you are on tmo us make sure the rom is compatible with the US version
also make sure if you are tmous that you do not flash a radio with .51 in it

you didn't say what phone or what rom, but I suspect you need to flash a matching radio.
read the thread of the rom you flashed and there will likely be a recommended radio.

Help- Unable to upgrade after Gold Card ROM upgrade

Hi all,
I updated my HD2 to the 1.61 (Turkish) software that came out a few months ago. It took me a while to get the goldcard working but all turned out ok.
I now want to upgrade the phone to a cooked ROM, but I'm stuck.
Everything I try stops at the boot loader screen.
I've tried reflashing with a stock 1.66 ROM
I've tried install HSPL.
Whichever method I use- I get as far as the phone rebooting into the bootloader- then it stick and will not go any futher. The screen reads PB8110 HX-BC, SPL-1.42.0000 XE....... then at the bottom of the screen it read 'USB'
Every upgrade program seems to be waiting for something to trigger the download.
What am I doing wrong?? Do I need to undo something from using a goldcard?
Thanks
you aren't using HSPL
as the bootloader doesn't say you are using HSPL
so either try that again or use SSPL
I've tried installing HSPL, but it never gets past the intial reboot into the bootloader.
I would have thought the HSPL app would reboot the phone into the bootloader then load a new HSPL bootloader.
I've also tried loading a stock ROM onto the phone, and it 's the same. Phone reboot into bootloader and then nothing. I end up taking the battery out and starting again.
Any ideas what's preventing the download while in the bootloader?
try to install ship rom wwe 1.43 via sdcard. leoimg.nbh.
then install hspl.
extract the nbh file from wwe ship rom, rename the ruu.nbh file to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of your sdcard , make sure its fat32 formatted.

HI
1. Get the device into bootloader
2. Connect the cable the device says USb
3. Install HSPL.exe (If you r pc is running on Vista or Windows 7 then Right click and run as administrator)
Hopefully will install HSPL
Then install any rom you like ( But read the rom thread about requirements ie: new radios)
Good luck

Ok, yeah..i bricked it..

So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.
phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.
Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.
Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.
get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again
yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state
Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?
So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet
What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first
Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?
ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.
Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme
What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?
All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM
I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom
Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...

Please need help !!!

Hi, i was going to upgrade to ArtemisV9 from Artemis v8. Had some stability problems with v8 so I thought making task 28 with MTTY. When I tried to flash artemis from the bootloader after that , the bar stayed at 0% so I had to cancel. Have tried flashing both via USB and from the storage card, but the progress bar never goes past 0%. When I start the phone it is stuck with the picture with hTc. Please help
task 28 or 29?
as far as i know task 29 also removes the radio. try flashing a radio rom first and after flash the rom.

Thanks, but i have tried to flash the radio again but i will not work. I meant task 29. When I try to flash radio/rom the black screen with hTc and progresbar appears but i will not start. When I start the telephone the wihite screen with green hTc stucks, if I press vol down and reset the bootloader starts. Active sync can´t connect with the telephone, is this necesarry if you flash from bootloader?
it's neccessary full stop! there's your issue. This is how I flash the HD2:
1. Task29 & radio
2. Boot into bootloader
3. flash ROM once it says 'USB'
4. boot first time
5. hard reset
6. set phone up
All works fine

I renamed the radio to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on my storage card, tried mtty again and then tried to enter bootloader, a white screen with Loading appears but gets stuck. I tried to renamed artemis to LEOIMG.nbh with the same result. If I tries to flash with USB, the black screen with progressbar appears and gets stuck at 0%. I have tried to flash stock rom with same result both with the exe file and I tried to extreact the nbh file and placed it on the storage card. Any suggestions how to get my phone to work.
Please
No one that have any suggestions? Is it possible that I have crashed the phone and that its not possibly to get any rom to work? I have Hspl so the warranty is gone.
with phone in bootloader mode.
what spl does it show exactly?
when you connect the usb cable, the word serial changes to usb, correct?
is your phone provider locked, and if so do you have the correct provider stock rom available?
do you have file extensions visible on your pc? (it isn't unknown for people to rename the nbh to "leoimg.nbh.nbh" by mistake.)
when it sticks on the white screen are there any numbers at the bottom of the screen?

Thank you, Im realy desperate.
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
Yes when Iconnect the serial changes to usb.
No it´s not provider locked
No, the filename is LEOIMG.nbh (if I take away .nbh it only says file and nothing happens from bootloader)
Now I renamed Artemis v9 to LEOIMG.nbh started the bootloader. A White screen with blue text Loading ... nothing more
ok, so you have spl 2.08.0000 which isn't hspl so the cooked roms don't work. . . and spl 2.08 won't let itself be downgraded by stock rom flash so they won't work.
connect to usb in bootloader
run hspl2
choose 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000 in the list.
return to bootloader mode
should now say spl 2.08.hspl
flash your rom over usb
if it doesn't boot check radio

[Q] I can't install ROM

I had stock 1.66 and I tried install 3.14 stock. I download ROM form HTC page after giving serial number.
All flash process on PC was done correctly, on PC was that flash is finish (it goes to 100% and then I can put only Finish) but on phone I saw only SPL 3.03 after a longer while I decided to reset phone but after reset there is still only SPL 3.03, when I tried install ROM again but it always goes to 1% (HTC logo on Phone is strange, has strange lines on it) and I have error on PC Invalid Model. I tried install older versions but situation is the same.
Is there any possibility to force install ROM in this case or phone is permanently dead now?
on bootloader screen, what does the model ID read as? (top line)

It kinda sounds like you downloaded the wrong stick ROM. Who is you carrier? And what model HD2 do you have?

try task29
There are plenty of threads on this, but go to HTC website, download the correct rom for your phone. You can use the serial number to get the right one.
Then extract the files. Take the .nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh. Put it onto your SD card and go into the boot loader and it will flash your phone back to stock settings.
