EDIT: DON'T UPDATE TO 2.1 AGAIN SINCE IT WILL HANG ONE MORE TIME. WAIT FOR HTC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!!!!
EDIT 2: BACK UPP ALL YOUR DATA FROM YOUR MEMORY CARD FIRST!!!
EDIT 3: How did I find this out? I talked to a very helpful HTC suport rep (yes they do actually exist in Sweden). He helped me do these steps and so I thought I should share this.
Ok so you got a message that 2.1 was available for your Hero - FINELY! and you installed it using OTA. And then you got a triangle with a ! in it and you rebooted and all it says is "HERO".
This is how to solve it!
Take out your memory card. FORMAT TO <span style="font-weight:bold;">FAT32</span>!!!
Download the RUU 2.73.405.5 from HTC support homepage
Run the installation.
When it fails to find your phone <span style="font-weight:bold;">DON'T EXIT!!!</span>
If you are using Windows 7 go in to c:\Users\<span style="font-style:italic;">yourusername</span>\AppData\Local\Temp
Search for ROM.zip
Move to desktop
Rename to HEROIMG.zip
Transfer to your newly formated memory card now with FAT32 file system
Put memory card into phone
Start phone holding volume down pressed.
It will now check zip fil and then ask if you want to install.
homekey for YES
After installing you have 1.5 again and can safely upgrade to 2.1 OTA

I just bought a t-mobile wallaby from here in india, And i decided there was a update available after 3.14 or something. so i ran it. But it stopped in the middle. Said 20 min but waited an hour. Then i took the xda of its cradle and did a hard reset... Now all it does is switches on and show t-mobile and the light stay on...nothing after that. I think i really messed it up. Gave it to a guy who said he could fix it but now 4 days later says he cant. Really need help on how to do it myself Please. Please help me, cant throw money away like that......can some show me step by step instructions as i am stupid with upgraded or reinstalling this device.
why have you decided that you could upgrade your device if you don't understand anything to upgrading and its consequences.
Upgrading is *dangerous* for dummies.

:x Forget what this guest just said we are a community who help each other out :x
I am now using the XDAII but when i had the XDA1 i had a similar problem. Got stuck upgrading. Hang onto your horses dude your device isn't dead so breath a sigh of relief. If you have a SD/MMC Card reader then use it to burn the base Rom from
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and then install it through the boot loader(Hold the Power button and then press the soft reset button using the stylus(you will enter the boot loader mode and then follow the instructions on how to install the Rom.
------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------
Go to a shop or a friend who had similar device, make sure you have a SD/MMC card with you and then enter the bootloader mode as described above and then copy the ROM on the SD Card. Then insert the card in your device and again enter the Boot Loader mode and Copy the Rom from the SD Card to your device after you are done press the Hard reset button on your device to switch it off keep it off for atleast 60 sec before pressing the hard reset button again to switch it on. Your device will live again.
[/b]A WORD OF ADVICE
Don't touch the Radio Stack on either your device or the other one. Always select Rom only.
If you need further help with using the bootloader search these forums you'll come up with alot of info.
Let me know how it works out
one question
Thanks for the advice.....your must be the better part of the site.
what happens if i cannot get into the boot loader.
thanks again

I believe there's a way to go-back! Do a flush by pressing on the power button+the hard reset+the navigation button pressed. All at once and that's how you go-back to the original ROM. Let me know if it works and if you dare to do it anyways.. 8)

Mr. Guest you are an idiot, many of us have been at this point one time our another. This is no way to respond to a forum member in need of help.
i'm no techie when it comes to these things but just out of curiousity WHAT causes the upgrade to stop? mananmistry said he was in the middle of upgrading already; is it the rom he used or is it the connection (power flux, cable, sync, etc)? just curious... :wink:
oh and its beers for the others and the loo for the guest
update
now the thing is i got the phone back. I have connected the usb but pc cannot find device and xdatools or the rom .exe files wont install. it says "xda not found via activesync", something like that. I went into the boot loader and it said GSM ERROR and stops. have to press calender key to get into sub-menus. what is the problem. does the rom kitchen .exe files need sactive sync to be present. please can some one tell me.
do i need a sd card reader. can i not just use someone phone to put my sd card and burn onto sd...??
You are now in serious trouble, the GSM error often proves fatal for the phone. You can still flash the rom though by following the previous instructions. After that is completed you will have to try flashing a radio stack. Please be prepared to be disappointed, I wish you the best of luck. The good news is that even if the phone doesnt work you should still have a working pda.
Where can i get a radio stack rom...???

Hi, All
It has been more then a few days trying to remove HSPL from my HD2. Numerous post & even watch a Youtube video to make sure I was doing everything right & still no success.
I really need to get this over and done with as I am posting the phone tomorrow.
I was wondering if anyone could walk me through on how to create a Gold Card & flash my HD2 back to Stock. Even if I have to pay for this I will.

1. you download the stock rom of your choice (Stock Roms include Radio)
2. Copy the ruu_signed.nbh file to your storage Root and rename to LEOIMG.nbh
3. Fire Up your Leo by pressing power on+vol down untill bootloader comes
4. if all goes well it will ask you to press power on to flash your device
5. do what it says
when finished hard reset (by pressing red button in back or power on+vol up+vol down)
then you should be fine and on your boring stock way again

Hi,
I have already tried that & tried using different memory cards/different roms, different Format methods etc . But still can't get into Bootloader screen.
This is the reason I posted this thread.

youve been given the same answer now in several threads. Its probably time to give us more information. because the answer we have all given you is the only way to remove hspl.
So, since you keep saying it wont work, it can only be either
1 a problem with the sd card
2 a problem with the sd card socket on your phone
or
3 a problem with the leoimg.nbh image you are using.
so, question 1 - is your phone rom locked to the provider? (can you download roms from the htc website using your correct serial number?)
question 2 - when you are formatting teh sd card, are you formatting it inside the phone or in your pc?
Closed - duplicate thread.

HALLO ALL,
i install hspl2 on t mobile htc hd 2 then i try to flash my phone with 1.66.405 rom.after that my mobile is not booting did i brick my phone or it can be recoverd........sorry for my poor english..help me friends
Is it a t-mo USA device? If so.. yes it's bricked.
When you say it wont boot do you mean you can power it on but it wont get past the splash screen? Or it just streight up wont power on?
Same as he said.. Does it power on? Power = good. Somtimes units will only power on when plugged into usb / charger. If this is the case, when it boots up go into boot rom by pressing vol down and reset in the back. When the tri color screen loads and says USB. Flash to a official rom such as the tmobile one.
man if you instaled 1.66 he is bricked i did the same with mine a big f mistake , but i fix it with cost , but is very hard to find service that will fix it , it just need a resurection ... if you still have the phone contact me. maybe i can help
Hey, the same happened for me..
When I put in my battery, it turns on automatically, shows the HTC screen, but never boots. Anyways, before it turns on automatically, I managed to do a light and a hard reset too, non of them is working.
Please, if somebody knows the way to fix it, contact me here or on my mail, [email protected]
I'll be waiting for you messages!

Yours is totally different problem, and you should try flashing stock rom from sd.
Could you help me with that?
'Cause I don't even know where to start basically...

Take a image from the original ROM Say Vodafone, T-Mobile (your operator)
Extract the file, for me it is : "RUU_Leo_Vodafone_NL_1.72.172.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship"
Use Winrar to extract this file : RUU_signed.nbh maybe called different but look for the biggest file extracted.
I hope you have a MicroSD
Rename
RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh put it on the MicroSD card
Put the MicroSD in the Phone,
Press down the Volume (left side) like you want less sound out of your phone
Press same time the Power On button hold it down until you see a bootloader
Now your ready to reflash original rom from the MicroSD
use HSPL 2.08 to load the not branded roms to the divice
Hope it works,
When you have Power in the phone then it wil work for sure

Hi,I bought an htc hd2 that show only HTC green logo without red information. The seller told me that He bricked it flashing a rom (that I don't know if it is a wrong rom). What should I do ? Thanks in advance
Try pushing vol up + en power button when the phone is off. What do you get then?
What should I push ? vol up and end call ?
hold vol down, tap and release power.
i cant say for certain whether yours is the same as the situation i had, but my original hd2 wouldnt boot and would only show a white screen with the green HTC and none of the rom/radio info in red in the bottom corner..it ended up being toast and had to be replaced under warrenty. not saying yours is, but thats what happened with mine.

Wrong rom? Probably - wrong radio... Congrats! You bought a nice paperweight.
I had the same a week ago. I had my phone for just 2 hours, then it suddenly stopped working when I restarted it. My HD2 wouldn't boot and did only show the white screen with HTC logo. I tried to do a hard/soft reset, and I even updated the rom, but nothing worked. I't happened because I was removing a app in the Windows Mobile Device centre and it crashed. My phone is now in repair.
Follow the 2nd part of this guide:
http://www.htc.com/europe/howto.aspx?p_id=297&id=182
Had the same prob with op and kept sticking at white logo htc and didn't progress any further. Just do that guide and phone will return back to normal.

Download from HTC site the original ROM from you phone using the serila number under the battery. Unzip it in some directory. Rename the file RUU_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh. Put the SD card from your phone in the computer, format it to FAT32 and copy LEOIMG.nbh file to the rot directory of SD card. Put the card back in phone (phone should be switched off). Then put phone in boot loader: push and hold VOLUME DOWN button and push for short the POWER button, keep holding VOLUME DOWN button until bootloader starts (4 colors screen). Follow the instructions on screen. The phone will be flashed with the original SPL, ROM & Radio from the file LEOIMG.nbh on SD card.
After that it should work normally. After flashing perform hard reset.
Note that battery should be well charged before flashing.
If above does not work your phone probably has hardware defect which could be rectified only in service by changing of some PCB inside. I had similar problem but not related to flashing and service changed power PCB (on warranty).

The seller tell me that he flashed a rom from emulr

You know - English is not my native so can you please be more specific - what do you mean by emulr - emulator or anything else?
Anyway - open the battery rear cover, find the Reset (bottom left), press and hold Volume down and push reset with a stylus or pen or whatever, holding Volume down. It will try to enter to bootloader mode. Do not release Volume down until the three-color picture will appear on screen.
Read what you see and write down here....
Sorry I made an error. I would say emule ,the filesharing program
If you can see the HTC logo your device isn't bricked.
This means that SPL is still alive and working. You only need to enter bootloader mode and flash a FULL RUU.

Can you tell me what should I do ? Can you give me the link to the files that I need?
