[SOLVED] Help, installed wrong ROM (european), now stuck with "Stick Together" screen

[SOLVED] Help, installed wrong ROM (european), now stuck with "Stick Together" screen
I bought a T mobile USA HTC HD2 phone in the U.S. and tried to install Artemis ROM which is for european phones only.
So now I'm stuck with the pink welcome logo ("stick together").
If I press the volume button and soft reset, I can see the screen with my HSPL.
I tried to do hard reset, but it didn't work.
Please help me how to roll back to original rom, or to install any eligible for T mobile usa rom.
Thank you!

Sweet, so that means you are able to get into bootloader?
Just flash task29 then flash a tmous rom

Thanks for the reply.
Could you please exlpain what task29 is and how to do this? Or where I can find the info.
I am a complete noob in this stuff (obviously).
Thank you

Remove SD Card, and Sim Card....
First get into bootloader by holding down the volume down button and power on the device.
next down load this file and run it as administrator: Follow the prompts and instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
When it hits 100% get ready to hold down the volume button again.... the HD2 will reboot and holding down the volume button will get you back into the bootloader.
Now get a US compatible rom and flash it the same way you just did the Task29. This time when its done flashing remove the battery and re insert your SD card and Sim.... let the phone boot up and you will be good to go.
Hope that Makes sense lol.

illconn, thank you for detailed answer!
I'll try it when I'm home. The only thing though is where can I find the US compatible ROM?
update
I got, I thought I'd need official T Mobile's ROM from their web site, but I'll be able to use any of the ROMs available in XDA. Right?

to be safe i would use the any of the ones in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653114
Once you read up a little more on here, and understand how some of the things work you can see there are a few more roms that you can use.
But before you can do any of that you need to make sure your phone has the right HSPL... there is a SSPL but just do the HSPL its easy.... now if you have already done this then great. If not start by reading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
GL and welcome to the world of custimization!!

Yeah, I decided to try to understand the process of changin the ROM.
Now I understand that SPL boots the device. And HSPL allows to boot custom ROMs.
So what is task29 for?

Task29 pretty much formats the internal memory.... although putting a new rom on the device erases, it sometimes leave bits and pieces of the old roms.... so its recomended you Task29 before a new rom so that you dont have any complications later. For example some people will have a lot of freezing, or programs crash, once they task29 and reflash problem solved.

Thank you!
And last thing, just want to make sure everything is ok, not to repeat the same mistake. When I go to the bootloader, I get Red-Green -Blue-White screen with this data:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Serial
That's okay to do the custom ROM, right?

Yes that is correct; by it showing "CotullaHSPL" that means you HSPL'd your phone and can download any compatable ROM onto your device, but just as posted above use task29. I was afraid to use it myself but after flashing my phone now about 30 times I've gotten over it.
Here is the link to the stock ROM's :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653
if you use the 2.10.0 it will be back to stock. (but you can still burn ROM's onto your phone) because it won't erase you HSPL, if you run it from your computer.
Make sense?

Guys! Thank you so much! I installed Kumar's ROM. It works like a charm!
I gained so much experience, and fixed the device. I'm so happy! Thank you again. Thank you

installed the wrong ROM for ATOM
i was looking for a WM 6.5 rom for atom and little did i realized that ive downloaded the ROM for exec. it did installed fine in my ATOM but it always bugs me when it is booting up. it only shows the boot screen with ATOM exec LOGO and suddenly shuts down. i was trying to install back the old rom but it says "The ROM that i am trying to install is not designed to work for this device...". is there any way i could remove the atom exec rom in my device and install my old ROM? i badly need help and this is the last place i could get them. thanks very much! any help will greatly be appreciated. More Power XDA-Dev Gurus.
My Device is: O2 ATOM

Wow. Number one, triple posting THE SAME QUESTION. Uhm, no. Number two, this is the HD2 or LEO section, NOT THE ATOM ONE. You won' t get any help here, you need to go post in the atom section.

Gotta say....I did the same thing as |OP|....this thread is making me very comfortable to fix my problem. Kudos to you guys for being patient with |OP|...it helped another newbiew

I talked to the number on #1 post and all I got is that I must ship the old one first. I told him about my location that shipment would be problem (from me to them, I can arrange shipment to US address and resend to me). Damn, now I must get it on my own for $50 or how much they cost (no ebay, they are mostly scams). Plus I got no Transformers, the card broke down and I had to format it (didn't help for fixing the freezing issue).
I talked to them over Skype though, because.. well I live in Europe. I'm not sure he understood me well, I have a sore throat and I'm having obstacles talking .

Confused

Hy guys and girls.
I am a bit confused here and would like to ask for some help, by the way I already spent a lot of time lookign for answers here but I get more and more confused.
Well I wanted to try some Roms and I saw the high suggestions to install the HDPL first to avoid bricking my expensive HD2, well I tried but the problem is here.
FYI my HD2 is a Telstra version. It came with a black GUI style I guess it was the world wide version, but I am not sure as I did not recorded any info (did not thought on that), then I installed the original Australian Rom (at that time I was not looking for fancy Rom just for the latest upgrade and did not even know about cooked roms). Then I came back to the worl wide version because the autralian one was too bloated, not as nice as the black GUI and it was slower.
Finally I tried the HSPL2 to start tring with ROMs but it gave me an error message telling me I had the wrong version or something like that (I supposed because it is the Telstra version).
Then I tried the HSPL (older) but it gave me an error message telling me I need version 1.42.00. Here it get confused for me: When I do VolDwn + Power I get the following information:
PB81110 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Serial
1st - Well I read that 1.42.HSPL was supported by HSPL so why it is not being accepted?
2nd - Why my unit is stating CotullaHSPL if I never installed it before? Cotulla comes with it?
3rd - Whats is HSPL in a interaction perspective? It is just a software that sit there and work alone without any GUI or it is something that does have a GUI that I can choose options and things to do? I am still lost on that.
4th - Sorry for the noob questions, but I apreciate if there is someone with patience to help me out (thats what I do when I can help someone).
Thank you
Felipe

Try reading the post about the HSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
and this tutorial about flashing ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Concerning your questions (I'm no expert either, but here goes):
1. You already have HSPL, so no need to install it again
2. Cotulla is (one of) the developer(s) of the HSPL, sort of a copyright
3. HSPL is a peace of software that essentially allows you to install other (custom made) ROMs or ROMs with another language. It has no Userinterface, but loads the ROM on your device
4. Your welcome

Ok but how it happened to get in there if I could not install it?
Perhaps it came with Telstra?

No, it will deffinately not have shipped with HSPL installed.
Sounds to me like someone already hspl'd it and installed a new rom. (black gui?)
did you buy it second hand?

Hell no I bought it on Expansys, however the box that it came on had a picture of a Telstra one, with blue theme, but when I turned it on it was the world wide black theme and not the Telstra blue one, I changed it latter.
I even tried to instal the HSPL two or three times but it always gave me error messages and never showed the progress bar.
This is too strange for me.
Now I am very afraid if I really have the HSPL installed or a bugged or corrupt HSPL on it because of my failed tentatives.
what you guys suggest me to do to be 100% sure I have HSPL on it before installing cooked ROMs?
Thank
Felipe

i also bought a telstra version t9193 too. The seller ask me for permission to install the Official Rom for me. They state that i will have connection problem if i choose to stay with telstra's rom. So let them install HSPL and Official Rom since i don't want to deal with the connection problem when i have the device. I believe your seller install the HSPL and Official rom for you because they know u will have the connection problem.

Hello man, I'm brazilian to, so if you want send me a PM I will explain things better in portuguese
Think in SPL/HSPL/SSPL like a BIOS in a PC, it will help you to understand some things. The SPL/HSPL/SSPL are the first softwares that the phone loads.. Read more here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?
If you phone shows HSPL on the bootloader and it boots, probably your HSPL is not damaged.
Stock phones does not comes with HSPL (that is secure unlocked), it comes with SPL. Probably the seller flashed HSPL on your phone.
So, it is simple to know if you have HSPL or not:
Reset your device - press volume down - Read the screen and if it has HSPL or anything similar, you has it!
Another way is more objective:
Download a custom ROM, then try to flash it via MicroSD method. If it flashes, you have HSPL, if not (security error), you don't have it
Does not metter what version of HSPL you have on your device, it will falsh any custom ROMS. **be carefull** ..................READ READ READ.......................
I sugest Sternas ROMS (ARTEMIS).. It has PT and is very stable.. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
I hope it helps!
Have a nice flashing

Digao100nocao,
I tried to upload Artemis with the MicroSD but nothing happens, not even an error message.
I changed the name and formated the MScard and copied it to the card but as soon as I get into the bootloader nothing else hapens. When I restart the old ROM is still in effect.
I can only upload it with the CustomRUU, but doing so does not overwrite the HSPL.
As more as I try more it is confusing and weird.
To make things even more scary this morning my earpiece stop working, now I can't hear anything thru it, I hope this is some software problem and I can get it to work.
What I want to do now is just uninstall the current HSPL as I do not trust on it anymore and reinstall a fresh new one. Problem is that I can't find an old version 1.42 to install it thru the MicroSD, only .exe files.

Needs a Suggestion/Guidance

I am new to Tmobile HTC Hd2.
I got one 2 day before.I am attaching my phone info below.I dont know if its patched or not: plz tell me what to do next to flash a custom ROm without any problem.
When i open my phone in bootlader mode , following info is shown:
PB1120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X40
I dont know if its Hard Spl'ed or not..Kindly tell me is it?
OS Version 5.2.21889
Manilla Version 2.5.20121412.1
ROM Version 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE (Is it a stck ROm)?? How do i take backup of my ROM?
ROM Date 02/22/10
Radio Version 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol Version 15.34.50.07U
Please Guide me to flash....Do i need to flash a radio as well? i live in india..my phn is carrier unlocked....Hope to get a reply soon.
Thanks in advance.

You will know if it's hard-spl'd if it shows 2.08.hspl instead of 2.08.0000
You need to read the forum [Tutorial] sticky a few times and then make sure you fully understand that you cannot flash any .51 radio or you will brick your device.
Download hspl3 and run it while the device connected to your pc. Pick the correct option and then go read the sticky again and again until you understand it perfectly.
You will see in the sticky that there are two ways to flash Roms and radios, read both carefully.

Thanks, That helped a lot.
Also please tell if i perform a hard spl, then would it make any change in the functionaing in the device? Or i can hard spl my device can continue using my stock ROm?

No, it will not effect anything. It only allows you to flash custom Roms and radios and won't be overwritten or removed when flashing (which is why it's referred to as "hard"). But, if you're planning on keeping it stock there's really no point.

Is there is any utility to backup/dump my stock ROM?
there is a thread of stock roms,but after the hard spl, installing the stock rom again, wud that be feasible, or i would have to flash the stock radio again to do that?

You can use SPBbackup or RescoBackup (to name a couple) to backup stock ROMs just fine. If you have hspl and flash a stock Rom from your SD card it will overwrite the SPL, that's the only way to remove it besides manually doing it through the hspl3 utility.
HSPL does not change the Rom, it's just a hacked spl to allow for custom flashing without brickin your device.
The radio is rarely included with a ROM, the only way it gets changed is if you flash a new one. If you are asking how to revert back to stock later on, you can simply flash the stock\shipped Rom your phone came with (usually TMOUS 2.13) from SD card and that will get you back to stock everything except radio. Or you can use the HSPL3 utility to remove the hspl manually.
on the stock roms page just make sure not to flash any test versions with MFG SPL.

Getting HD2 back to stock

Ok, so I've got quite a bit of a problem here. Please keep in mind that I'm relatively new to this. I've only flashed my 3G Slide before to CM7 using Clockwork so this whole Windows thing is new for me.
I recently purchased a used HD2. The previous owner had some custom Windows ROM on there, and I wanted to put Android on it being a fan of the platform. More specifically, CM7. So I managed to get Magldr on it, Clockwork on it, and CM7 on it. Here's where the trouble starts. When I boot CM7 the touch screen no longer works. It doesn't respond at all. After some searching, it appears that this is a hardware problem, so I have to send it to HTC.
I have been looking everywhere for stock stuff, but every thread tells me something different. I "think" I got this right, but when I boot the phone with the Vol Down, I get -
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
I found a thread where someone said this was correct and it was in fact stock. Then, 30 seconds later I found a thread where someone said THIS was stock -
PB81100HX-BC
SPL-1.42.000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x30
And the 20 seconds later, I find ANOTHER post saying that THIS is stock -
pb8 ss-b3
spl-2.10.0000 8g xe
microP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x40
So, what the hell is the deal? Does it depend on the ROM? Can someone point me in the right direction please? I'm completely lost.

It doesn't make any difference what the various places say. Go to the HTC site and download the correct ROM based on you serial number. Extract the .nbh file from the executable you download, put it in the root directory of an SD card with the name LEOIMG.nbh. Put your phone into bootloader and it should ask you to install the OS. Then you will have the correct ROM, SPL, and Radio for your device.
EDIT: You need to update your profile to say where you live and who is providing your phone service; that way you will receive more specific guidance to your questions.

That's much more specific, thanks. So the serial will be the S/N under the battery on the phone I'm assuming?
Edit: I cannot find the official list of ROMS on HTC's site. When my phone is selected, under downloads, all it lists is the user manual. I'll keep looking in the meantime, but if someone could give me a specific link that would be great.
Edit2: After looking some more, all I can find are ROMs for other countries. All of them say "Not for use with T-Mobile(US)." I go to the US site, and it doesn't give me ANYTHING for ROMs.
Edit3: I decided to search the T-Mobile site instead, and there it was. So now I'm going to take your advice from above. Wish me luck.

Bumping with an update.
So I found it and got it on there. I still have one question though. What's the red text in the bottom left corner during boot? Is that supposed to be there on a stock phone? It doesn't seem like it.
Picture: http://i54.tinypic.com/107p3t3.jpg
Edit: One more question. When I flashed the official HTC .nbh to my phone, it erases everything right? What is this Task 29 program I keep hearing about?

any spl that ends 0000 is a stock spl. (not necessarily YOUr stock spl, but stock none the less.)
tmous stock spls are 2.08.0000, 2.10.0000 and 3.03.0000 (and possibly 3.05.0000 i think ive seen mentioned)
you can only get tmous roms from the t-mobile.com website,(or from various mirrors, but only officially from t-mobile.com) they arent on the htc website.
the red text is known as the RGD info, R for radio version G for protocol (dont ask me) and D for rom version, yes they should be there, they are always there on a working winmo rom, stock or cooked.
when you flash the flashing process performs a task 28, which only formats certain areas of the nand. task29 formats all of it, (well all the rom area anyway, not radio or splashscreen)
the reason its done is when you flash a new rom, if its smaller than teh original, some old data can be left sticking out at the end, which can occasionally cause instability,
Thats the theory, in practice its very rare, however it can be usefull to reset the rom area when issues have occured, especially after playing with android nand roms, which build multiple partitions. Personally i havent task29'd in about a year.
Many people offer it as step 1 in solving any problem, regardless of the problem, which i think is a bit extreme, and nearly always only works because you have to reinstall everything, and not really solving anything itself.

Thank you so much for clearing all of that up. I am going to take it down to T-Mobile tomorrow to see what they can do about it. Is there anything I should tell them? Because certainly they'll ask me why the phone is still at the tutorial portion as if it's the first time it has booted up. I'm assuming I'll just tell them I did a factory reset? I just don't want to get turned away because I "tampered with the phone."
Thanks again, this has been a huge learning experience for me. I'm more of a computer guy, and I've been trying to get into working more with phones.

enter bootloader, and so long as it says one of the stock spl's i mentioned above, and it is running a stock rom from tmobile, then it will be fine. Playing dumb is always a good idea, too. Yes say you tried a hard reset.

I've not had to take mine back to stock, but now that you mention it I believe it may use IMEI rather than S/N.

I list the page that includes several devices.
EDIT: It is indeed IMEI.

Which way is the best.... I have HSPL 3.14 and what it says on the colorful screen (with power and volume button pressed 2gether) is
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.000 XE 208
would you please anybody tell me where I can get a clear shot and do all these steps without having a problem and if I have a problem how can I get my HTC HD2 to original :????
I really appreciate for any help..
God bless you all

Wow, you need to read a LOT more carefully. You seem not to understand most of the key terms here, you have not got HSPL 3.14 you have Official stock ROM 3.14. Fortunately, that makes things much easier. See this guide in order to flash NAND Android. You will need HSPL but you can skip the step about flashing a new radio as your current stock ROM conveniently gives you this. Please ensure you read this THOROUGHLY before flashing as, although you wouldn't brick your device if you messed up, you will waste your time flashing things again.

For the first time flash I would try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 It's easier when you have all in one tool.

^+1 on that
just got another one with WM6.5
just ran the HD2 toolkit & now it's Android & ready for WP7
