HD2 stuck at the HTC boot screen

Hello, I have some problems with my mob.phone HTC HD2: after using Flash mobile stop working, then I tried install windows and tried turn on first time and my phone shows white screan with name HTC and don`t work at all,then i tried reset and Hard reset all setings and turn on again and than screan appears again with name HTC.
When i conect my phone to pc by usb, so my pc can`t find that phone.
Can you help me with this problem.
Thank you.

you should get your stock rom, ONLY your stock rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh
copy that file to your sd card formatted to fat 32 rename the file to leoimg.nbh
phone off
hold volume down
tap power (keep volume held)
phone should boot to three colors screen and start to flash.
this will ONLY work with original rom.

Thanks for Help.

Same problem......
I am also stuck in the white HTC screen, (R 2.06.51.07 G 15.30.50.07U D 1.66.76641). I can flash from SD card and so i tried, using the image in the latest official RRU, no way, it doesn't fix the problem.
I didnt try any unofficial rom, i just updated to the latest rom from HTC, it worked fine. The problem occurs after i had to restart the phone while trying to connect to a xifi AP...
Any idea what i should try now ?

Thanks. You saved my day.

OMG! Thank you so much! I love you!!!!!! I was stuck on boot because my flash failed and i followed your instructions and now i can flash again!!! i was so worried and if it weren't for you i would be screwed. Really you are a HUGE help! Keep the good work up

how long did you guys have to wait till the htc rebooted after that flash? cause ive been waiting for over 30 minutes and i thought i made that wrong.
Note: ive used HSPL fist, then flashed it with energyleo.23547, but energyleo kept stuck in bootloader
now im pretty afraid of loosing manufactors warranty ...

well lads, pay attention: ive fixed that my problem all by myself. HINT: ive kept holding the buttons for to long, so the device got stock while starting up. so dont press the voldown-button for too long, maybe only for 2 seconds!

hard reset

Remember boys and girls - if you get stuck on the bootloader you can also do the following:
1. Remove the battery to turn the phone off, leave 3 seconds
2. Replace battery and hold down the vol down button and turn on your device to get into the bootloader
3. It should say 'serial'. Plug your USB cable in and it'll change to 'USB'
4. Flash your stock ROM as normal using ActiveSync method. This will also reinstall the SPL (in the case of people who can't get past the first white HTC screen). I did this after the first (and only) time I tried to do it the SD card method. Put my stock SPL back on my phone

im pretty sure that flashing over usb won't do the spl. only sd card flashing can touch the spl.

When I tried to flash (after installing HSPL) using the sd card method and it bricked I went into the bootloader and it put my stock SPL back on - hence why I said if the sd card fails

I'd be inclined to suspect that In your case the spl was flashed during the failed sd card flash, so was already stock spl when you then flashed the stock rom over usb.(which of course being stock doesn't need hspl )

Hi Guys
I'm having the same problem, however, I bought the phone second hand. My question is how do I find out what my stock ROM is?
cheers

you download HSPL, run it, and if your spl is anything else than 1.42 it will give out an error and no harm is done

Hey
Thanks for replying. Do I get the stock ROM from the HTC website, is there a way to get it as a .nbh file as I am currently on a mac.
thanks

White Screen and HTC logo
I have found a similar problem, I flashed the HSPL rom following the instructions to the letter in the NOOB section.
Restarted my HTC HD2 having hard reset, and it would start and begin the installation and setup, once the setup completes, the software requests a soft reset, at this point my phone hangs on the white boot up screen with the HTC logo.
What am I doing wrong?

Stuck on White HTC Screen after ROM update
Why is it that, having run the HSPL update on my HD2 and checked that its successful, does my phone hang on the white HTC boot screen when it reboots after setup.
I have installed the energy rom, the most recent version. It still hangs at the boot after the rom does the soft reset...
Help please?

Stuck HD2 LEO only bootloader brick

Hi everyone,
At first at all i would like to apologize for my language.
Well...
I have HTC HD2 LEO for East Europe.

At first boot it load normaly but after soft reset it stuck on HTC logo with information about ROM etc in left down corner. Then i do hard reset and htc load rom but the soft was unstable and when I put off battery it stuck on HTC logo even i do hard reset.
I read a loot about white htc logo and do many trick,
I try to instal official rom for east europe using usb connection, but instalation stop and 9% and triangle apear. Instalation stop at difrent stage for difrent ROM's, sometimes is 24% sometimes 2% but never goes to end.
I try instal by sd card but sytuation is that... 3 color apear, very quick white screen with "Loading..." and back to 3 screen color and nothing more. I try with 2 different cards unnamed 4GB and kingston 8GB.
I try to instal different radio 50 and 51, SSPL, HSPL it's says i mus have 1.42, HSPL2/3 it's stuck at usb connection searching. I forgot, 3 screen color show me i have 1.66.HSPL XE.
Only one operation goes well, to 100%, Task29 provided by doloop, after that HD2 buz and show only white htc logo. But when i try to do more... change radio with task29 it's stock on 24%
I don't know what to do now. Mayby goldcard will be helpfull but i don't shure what is wrong with the sd card and i don't now how to do this goldcard.
Thank You for eny sugestion,

I know this might be a dumb question but is your sd card formatted to fat32?

nvm try to put on orignal SPL? and than try to flash to stock rom with Sdcard?

i suspect that.....
when it first wouldn't boot artemis 22 you needed to change the radio not the rom but then you flashed official rom by sd card it removed hspl and then failed because wrong region.
boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl
return to boot loader
flash any radio mentioned in artemis thread using usb
return to boot loader
flash artemis
when phone starts to set up force hard reset
allow to boot
let us know how it goes

thank You for request
roloracer
there is no dumb question but dump anserwers . Yes, card's are formated using fat32
Veldmuus
how can I put only SPL? any solution?
samsamuel
"boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl"
I try, and it's strange. When I go in to boot loader plug usb cable to htc the "serial" change to "USB" and it is the end of my work becouse when I run HSPL3 it's stay at "Waiting USB connection..." and no else happend.
Mayby it will be succesfull if I use to do this sc card but.. as You know it isn't work.

When you tried to flash the official stock rom back from the sd card did you make sure the rom image was called “LEOIMG.NBH” and on the root of the sd card.

try all different usb ports. try to not use ports in the front of pc case, use one around back of the pc.
also right click hspl and choose "run as administrator"

My hd2 see sd card beacouse when slot is empty "Loading..." don't apear. When I plug card "loading..." is apear but only for one socond mayby faster.
root.. you mean file not in eny folder, just on starage card without any folders, yes?
I called leoimg.nbh every time I put file to sd card

What operating system is on the pc you are tring to flash hspl with?

samsamuel
how do You know i use front usb port?
I plug to other usb ports but effects are the same. What I discover... when the HSPL3 is searchin usb connetion and I pluget off hd2 from usb there apear Critical error from HSPL3 program. It mean probably HSPL3 connect to hd2 but stuck.
I work on Xp profesional SP3

hspl is picky about which port it uses.
Personally i would enter bootloader manually, connect to usb, wait for 'serial' to change to 'usb', and only then run hspl3.

what radio rom is currently on the hd2?

Well.. Every time i try to instal something I go manualy to bootloader. As I say hspl3 stuck at connetion with hd2, i can turn of program run again but nothing happends.
Probably radio was 2.10 or official now i dont remember but I gues 2.10

When you connect the phone to the pc the pc does detect it, right? becuase i had a couple of instances where i've tried to install updated radios, ran the installer and windows hadn't finished detecting the phone and that caused a connection issue and the radio installer to quit but when i ran it immediately after this it worked fine.
So i suggest you get the phone to the bootloader manually then connect it to the pc an then leave it a few minutes before you run the hspl3 installer.

Guys... all of You are brilliant. If I don't ask what the problem is on this forum probably I cry on my htc box. But I don't .
It's working... rom instal and everything goes well.
The thing i change to work: I change home I was in my second home and now I'm In my family home special to test instal HSPL3. I have here other USB cable and other computer with XP OS. I read all post and do all again.
First I plug usb cable to front panel... too fast, my bad. It's going wrong.
Then I read about chose different USB connector... too fast becouse when I try i fail, but read last post, plug htc to pc, go make coffe and back. Turn on HSPL3 and it's work, find my hd2 and give me a choose witch spl to instal.
Then I back to samsamuel post and make his instruction. When I end every thing work very well i restar my hd2 and by the now i don't see eny problems.
At finish I would like to thanks

Thank You very much Guys,

Good news! and now a long deep breath of relief.

No problem dude. The wait is caused by windows XP needing to install and then load a couple of drivers so it can talk to the phone in bootloader mode. If you're not amazingly rich like me (OK i'm not really) and can't afford a cutting edge PC like mine this may take a few minutes to complete.

Phone stuck at white screen with HTC

Hi there,
I really need help!
I wanted to flash my phone with a nbh file, but I could not enter my bootloader.
I had installed HSPL3.
Now someone told me to use Flashaholic ROM update utility.
I did this, and a black screen with a % indicator appeared, not too long, it restarted, and went into a white screen with htc in the middle.
Restarting with volume down button pushed doesnt bring me into bootloader.
What can I do now?
I really need help!

Unfortunately, if you can't get your HD2 to boot into the bootloader, there's not much to be done.
Are you sure you had HSPL installed? Because from what I have heard, HSPL is there to always allow you to use it for flashing stuff, regardless of the integrity of other software parts such as the radio or the ROM, so reaching the bootloader should not be a problem for anyone.
Can you connect it to your PC via USB? If you manage to get a connection, you might just have a chance to flash another radio/ROM.

I installed HSPL3, and it said it was succesfull so...
After that I installed a custom rom with an utility that came with it (Dutty's)
So far I know, I cannot get any connection, but I try to download a stock rom (an utility exe) from HTC.com.
But I think this won't work right? because you have to sync.

You could try and flash a stock ROM via the SD Card, see if that works. There are some instructions here on XDA in the ROM Development section, check it out there.
Basically, once you have downloaded an official ROM from htc.com, extract it as if it were an archive and get the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Then take your SD Card, format it to FAT32, place the LEOIMG.nbh on the card and put it in your phone. While holding down the volume down button, boot the phone and a white Loading... screen should appear and the flashing process should begin.
I`m afraid this won't work either, as the bootloader is supposed to show up in order for you to be able to flash anything, but it's better than doing nothing, so...

Hi, if I remember correctly, you already said in the Artemis-thread, that the VOL DOWN button is broken. If this is the case, I fear there is not much you can do...

Have the same problem too.
I've installed a few roms with no worries, tried one about an hour ago that performs a Task 29 and i'm also now stuck at the white HTC screen...
it says the task29 was succesfull and then got stuck on the white HTC screen and the rom failed to load as the laptop did not detect a usb connection...
I've downloaded a stock rom and put it on the SD card named LEOIMG.nbh and tried pressing the vol down button, the Red,green,blue,white screen appears i can see
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL 2.08.Hspl 8g XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Then "serial" at the bottom or if i have the phone connected to the pc then "USB" appears.
If i hold both buttons and perform a Hard reset the phone asks to press Vol up button then says restored really quickly then freezes at the white HTC screen..
Any suggestions
Cheers

Actually got it sorted now, the rom had the Flashaholic utility built in which i haven't used before.
As we speak the rom is now installing phew (stop sweating now)...
Thought i had bricked it...

It's not broken, it just worked before I did the task29.
The phone is empty, and has no bootloader, and no ROM.

task29 DELETES the ROM. You NEED to install a ROM. A Radio-ROM should be installed automatically with task29. If this isn't the case, you need to install a Radio-ROM too. You can either install the HTC ROM or you can install a custom ROM like forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
Suggestion: Enter bootloader -> connect USB -> install ROM with CustomRUU

Well im not able to.
I did a HSPL before then I putted a custom ROM Dutty's on the device.
After that I putten a Stock ROM on it again, and then I used Flashaholic, and after task29 it got stuck.

Well no bootloader means no HSPL which is good news for your warranty coverage..
Just go to HTC service and play dumb " uhm i was playing around websites with a flash game and uhm my phone uhm rebooted and is like stuck ever since in uhm HTC logo"
Now if the case for not being able to load the bootloader is a broken volumedown button, yeah ur pretty screwed, prepare to dive in ur wallet.

Were do you live? If you need help and there's one living nereby maybe we can help (p.e. a full battery) I live in the eastern part of the Netherlands (Overijssel) PM me if you can come.

On the Kaiser (my previous phone) I also had a problem I couldn't enter the bootloader anymore, but I can't remember why or what I did to recover it.
- If it was an allmost empty battery and recharged it?
- If I have used a special tool to connect?
I really can't remember.
If I read your story, I think you have loaded a corrupted NBH thru SDCard method, otherwise i think you cannot wipe your bootloader. Task29 only wipes the ROM area not the bootloader.
Have you tried to contact Bepe or Cotulla, cause i think they know everything about (H)SPL.
Otherwise you can start building a new house (you've got your first brick )

have you checked you battery connections, the middle one is notorious for getting bent out of shape at which point the battery will not charge and you can't flash you ROM.

NEED MASSIVE AMOUNT OF HELP for HD2

whats up team... so i have a mountain of a problem... i was running the elegancia rom on my HD2 and had android v2 installed on it. i decided to change my rom to artemis version 34.5 WWE (english lang version). the zip file did not contain the custon ruu, so i downloaded the generic custom ruu from theunlockr.com the hd2 started botting but it stays on the "stick together" screen and its not budging. tired the soft reset button, tried pulling out the battery, and even tried hard reset with the volup and voldown buttons... by my calculations, i think that the ruu that i downloaded and installed is either twitch or faulty and it has been saved to the device memory, so any type of reset i do will put me back to this rom (since by now its the default). windows does not recognize the phone when connected through usb. so i am in a deadlock. does anyone know any fancy trick or am i just f***ed

The search function is still working
try searching for - flash by sd card

new develompent
from the forums u directed me to, i realized the the extrected file was in RUU-signed.nbh form, and once i downloaded the generic custom ruu, i did not change the file name to leoimg.nbh, and flashed the phone. is there anyway to flash the phone to its original settings (factory) while the phone from the spl screen?

GOT IT
ok so if anyone else has this problem when the hd2 doesnt load after "stick together" screen and wants to restore it to factory settings
1. connect ur phone to ur computer via usb
2. soft rest your phone while holding the volume down button. this will bring u to the SPL screen, and in the bottom white section it should say "usb"
3. download the stock rom for your hd2 from a website such as theunlockr.com
4. while ur phone is connected to ur pc, run the stock ruu rom
5. loading screen will appear on your phone, and there you go

Struggling to downgrade WP7, Please help!!!

I'm trying reinstall WM6.5 on my HTC HD2 from MAGLDR V1.13.
I've downloaded the stock rom from HTC website and im trying run the installer but it fails it cant seem to pick up my phone as a USB connection.
I tried the bootloader way but it always get stuck at the installation part at 0%.
what am i? doing wrong, its driving me mad..
SPL version is SPL-2.08.0000

Make sure you’ve got more than 50% power on the device.
• Unplug USB cable
• Power Off device.
• Press and hold volume down button and press power button to start again.
• You will be presented with a tricolor splash screen.
• Connect USB cable to PC
• On the Tricolor splash screen you see “serial”; change to “usb”, if not unplug and plug the cable back in.
• As Administrator Run the WM6.5 ROM Update and follow instructions, your device should now be flashed with WM6.5.

when in tri-color mode, re-install hspl 2.08 and then magldr 1.12/1.13.
then try installing wm6.5.
This worked in my case.
Check if it does in urs too...
Al the best...

after the radio, I cannot download magdlr, it stops at 29%.. Or sometimes doesn't do anything!!

I'd suggest task 29 to wipe the phone completly. Then make sure you have the correct stock rom for your phone. EG if you bought a EURO o2 HD2 then you need to have the o2 3.14 stock rom. Extract the .nbh file from the .exe.
Use SD Formatter to format your SD card, this will wipe all windows 7 partitions.
Then copy .nbh file and place it on the sd card, then boot into boot loader (tri colour screen) and follow on screen instructions. A grey screen should appear at this point.
This will remove Hard spl and restore WM 6.5 and also restore the first of the two splash screens and the radio back to factory settings and will also restore your warrently as well.

Thanks for this info, will try it. Have you got a link to task 29? Is it a software?

No but it is all over XDA. I think you'll find it someware on the WM 6.5 thread. If that doesn't work your nand will be stuffed but it has allways worked for me!

Yes, even i suggest you the "flash via micro sd card" method becoz it works in worst cases. and follow all the steps sequencely. good luck

Task29 gives an error 290 and doesn't complete.
Im getting frustrated... What can i do next

task 29 now wipes my phone but everytime i flash a new rom is crashes at 9% or 10% and then i get the error 290.
i downloaded the stock rom for my phone... argggh what can be done?
thanks

Sounds like nand is dead. Looks as if you will have to return it to get it fixed!

i must agree with ghost ... sounds like you flashed the poor baby to death :'( sad sad day! and very rare i might add!

cannot believe i messed it up.......

know where i can send it for repair? will HTC cover it under warranty? will they be suspicious?

anyone? do i need to ring my phone contract people or go directly to HTC?
Thanks

Depends how old it is. It may need to go directly to HTC to get it fixed.

I read somewhere that error [290]: Invalid Command - the ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
Try changing the usb cable/connect directly to usb port (not usb hub) if you still want to use usb for flashing.
I always use the sdcard method when there's a problem flashing via usb. Rename RUU_signed.nbh (extract from stock rom exe package) to LEOIMG.nbh and copy the file to sdcard (sdcard MUST be formatted as FAT32 - use HP format tool). Put sdcard into the phone and boot into bootloader mode ... see if it works ...
