Hey so i just picked up an hd2 on craigslist. when the seller handed my the phone he showed me the phone working and then did a hard reset so i thought nothing of it and took the phone while it was resetting. then while waiting for it to boot i noticed it was taking quite a while so i took out the battery and let it reboot, it turned on then froze on the homescreen. i've tried several hard resets and have gotten the phone to the point where it works but only after putting in a removing the battery several times and the phone sticking on the "stick together" logo. I was going to try to do the newest tmobile update on the phone using the one available on their website but now i have an issue plugging the phone into the computer or wall adapter as it will make the phone freeze and ill have to go back through my removing the battery 5 times process. is this some sort of common issue with a common fix or should i take the phone to tmobile or htc and see what they can do for me. i dont have a receipt as a purchased the phone on craigslist so im not sure tmobile will do anything for me.
Edit: i can now connect my phone to the pc i'm trying to update to 2.13.531.1 but i got to 8% but the update froze there and the phone currently has no image version. I'm using windows 7 ultimate and ive tried to run as administrator and with xp service pack 3 compatibility.

I would put the phone in boot load manually by holding the volume down button while turning it on, and remove the memory card and then reflash the tmobile rom
can someone also help me figure out how to get the ruu.nbh file off this rom and how big it should be so i can try to flash it from the sd card. thanks

What error did it give you? Found an nbh file? was it from a stock rom? Do you have Hard SPL on it? If it doesnt have HSPL on it then you will only be able to load a stock rom

no i have not run hard spl so i can only install a stock rom a suppose. the exe gets stuck at 8%, i have no idea where the right nbh file is. i read somewhere when you run the exe it installs the nbh in a temp folder but im not sure i found the right one. ive also downloaded task29 and tried to run as admin but it doesnt do anything just goes to the htc install screen and stays at 0% Getting frustrating it was working fine actually before i tried to install the new tmobile software update. ive read that task29 gets rid of extra leftovers of other roms and might help the exe finish up on the phone and get past that 8% wall but it doesnt seem to be working for me
right click the stock exe file choose extract here, will give 9 or so files, one of them is about 200meg and is called ruu_signed.nbh that's the file you want.
randomly flashing nbh files that you don't know what they are, that's about the stupidest thing you can do...... you deserve a brick for being an idiot.

lol thank you for the words of encouragement, so i've extracted the .nbh file its 268mb, renamed it to leoimg.nbh tried the update from the sd card and it fails at the radio says, update terminated, update FAIL. any idea where to go from here?
Edit: i've run hspl3 on the phone is boot loader mode and have also run task29 from doloop but still get the same error with the tmobile file. 8% using the exe and FAIL trying to flash from the sd card
heh you're welcome. (i was harsh to make the point,,, if you found a random bottle of liquid that said petrol on it, you wouldn't put it in your car till you were sure it was petrol, right?)
as to why it failed, i'm not sure, i think i'd probably hspl3, choose 2.08.hspl, then try flash a radio on its own (see the tmous radio thread) because it could be a bad radio.
just please confirm the exact filename of the .exe you extracted ruu_signed from?

The first exe file, which got to 8 percent then went red and failed was
T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1
After hspl3 and using task29 i tried flashing this exe which gets to 99% and fails
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42
that second one, did you flash from sd card? cos its a manufacturing test rom, and if so then you may now be stuck with a test spl of 2.02, and if so things just got a heap worse,,,
go into bootloader and tell me what it says next to spl

i tried flashing using the .exe method in bootloader mode. next to spl it reads -2.08.hspl 8g XE
it now says
Upgrade ROM code error
ah ok, good.
so, it seems to be the radio causing the error, so since you have hspl installed, why not try a custom rom? they don't include a radio, so it may bypass the problem.

Which do you suggest, i bought the phone so that i could ultimately install android on it. but it seems i'd be lucky to even have wm running on the thing
Edit. just tried kumars classic rom, renamed to leoimg tried running off the sd card, The update finishes successfully but after i hit the reset button on the back of the phone i just see the tmobile stick together logo and the phone doesnt boot. Do a lot of people struggle with the hd2s or do i just have a bad example here?
well unfortunately i think you may have a dud. its the radio that is preventing it from booting.
it could be the radio from that test rom, it could be something else (but still the radio)
options...
its still under warranty, speak to t mobile and/or htc, but don't mention flashing and be sure to remove hspl if you do send it back. (run hspl3, choose 2.08.0000, that's stock)
or
look on here for a user called xmoo, he knows a lot about this sort of problem, (im just good with regular flashing issues)
im having the same issue so if you believe its the radio will installing different radio maybe fix the problem?
i;ve tried installing a new radio from the sd card. it goes red and fails
It sounds like a hardware issue at this point. I'm willing to bet you fried something when you pulled the battery in the middle of the master reset.
Hope thats something htc will cover. Phones on its way over

Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum. Just got my HD2 yesterday & immediately set about installing a new ROM. I installed HSPL without any issues, but I'm having problems installing a new ROM. I've downloaded a couple in .exe format, synced up the phone to WMDC in Win 7, then when I start the exe file everythings fine until it starts to install, then the 4 colurs come on to the phone, and then the USB connection drops so WMDC isn't connected, then I get the error 266 (or 226). I used to have a touch diamond that did this, but I can't remember how you get the connection to remain whilst uploading the new ROM. I've had a look through the forum, but can't find the answer. Can anyone give me some ideas?? Does the phone need to have certain settings applied to it before flashing?? I'm not exactly a noob to flashing ROM's, but can't work this one out!! Thanks all.
just extract the exe, rename *.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh, put in ur microSD root, enter bootloader, press power button when u asked to do so. soft-reset when complete. feel free to pm me n i will guide u.
SD card method is the quickest way to brick your phone...
I use W7 64bit with WMDC and have never had an issue. Custom ROMs comes as an NBH file and tend to have CustomRRU.exe with them to run them. Run the EXE as an admin and you shouldn't have any issues.
Obviously check that when in the bootloader it does say SPL is 1.42.HSPL
When I flash a ROM, it turns the phone off (Windows knows that as it makes a sound) and then when the bootloader comes back up it says USB, Windows makes a sound for plug in and it starts.

Hi, I'm using the same OS. I've tried running as admin but it still drops connection. The SPL is 1.42.HSPL. It just starts the update, then I see the phone disappear from the connected devices, then WMDC shuts down & a few seconds later the error message comes up??
you started flashing this fast only after one day of use
You don't need WMDC open - just close it once it says you're connected
The run the file and it should work.
As mentioned, why are you flashing it out the box? It's always best to get to know the device as it might just work as it is...perhaps try a stock ROM if you're not already using the newest one and go from there

I agree. not that there is anything technically unsafe about it, but unless you are fully aware what you are doing it's so easy to flash the wrong thing.
example,you flash a 1.66 stock rom from sd card but don't like it.you goo to change it but get a fail. why? because flashing stock from sd card also overwrites the spl.
no problem you say, I'll reinstall hspl.... only you can't because hspl needs spl 1.4 to instal and your 1.66 flash installed spl 1.6
worse still you instal one of the test roms from t mo us that are 2.0x which can't be downgraded even by gold card and you are stuck with spl2 until the geniuses that are the hspl team release hspl2.
just a thought...are you running as administrator? right click, run as administrator

Didn't know that, glad I have HSPL on my phone now!! lol
lots don't and that's what makes sd flashing dodgy. in the case of 1.6 it can be downgraded with a 1.4 spl stock rom.its just a pain. but 2.0 spl can't. check out the horror stories in my sig.
Yeah read about them, I nearly bricked my phone using the SD card method the first time I flashed but luckily the WMDC flash with my stock ROM got me back to normal!
I was trying to flash the stock 1.66 ROM, but it still disconnected. I have 1.43.206.4 WWE at the moment. The reason for flashing straight away, is usually the stock ROM updates are to improve / fix previous issues. This is why I wanted to start with a stock ROM & maybe move onto a cooked ROM at a later date. Does it make any difference when starting from an .exe file instead of RUU? Do you have to change something on the phone itself to allow it to stay connected?? cheers everyone for your comments.
run the exe as administrator, the phone should restart into boot loader (three colored stripes) and then flash.

Just tried it again & still no joy. It starts, the phones switches off, thats when it loses connection, then the bootloader appears, then about 10 secounds later it says error 266 connection lost. Still stumped???
Sounds like the device isn't reconnecting with the PC once in the bootloader - try another one...
with the phone in boot loader unplug the usb and plug back into a different port. preferably a port directly on the motherboard (round the back) not through a usb hub or slot in the case.
Sussed it now. I'm a mac user using Win7 using VMware fusion. I think it was this that was causing it to not detect the phone once it had started flashing the ROM. I tried it on my work laptop running XP & voila, it flashed immediately. Thanks everyone for your comments - no doubt I'll be posting a few more questions soon!!!
ah good stuff.

Ok.....next question. I've tried to flash a rom using the customruu file, but all it does is open up the contents of that file. I'm using XP Pro. Any ideas why anyone???
Ok my last 3 days I've been simply trying to install some custom ROMs and did all the reading and research step by step, but my AT&T HTC Pure just wont update the HSPL no matter what.
Steps I've taken so far:
1. Formatted SD Card
2. Obtained and put goldcard.img on SD Card
3. Fully connected phone via Windows Mobile Device Center
4. Antivirus turned off
5. Tried Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL in in auto-mode, fails telling me " Fatal Error" and underneath "Please make sure the device is properly synced; Please retry after syncing device (via Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center)" which I have...
6. Tried installing ENABLERAPINEW.cab with results "unsuccessful" (but again my phone does sync just fine, I still took this step)
7. Tried Manual Flash, my phone never goes into bootloader, and right after "verifying phone information" shows screen saying "ERROR [224]: DEVICE NOT RESPONDING"
8. Tried entering bootloader mode and during auto-mode to flash, tells me same exact thing as without bootloader
9. Tried Manual Flash in bootloader, it gets to flashing screen with a progress bar at 0% on both PC and phone forever, I waited 20 mins and it didn't change.
It seems as if there is something preventing RUU to be writing anything on my phone, so that's why it throws connection error, but I am not sure. And I am seriously loosing all hope in this and dont know what to do, so HELP please!
Update
I also forgot to mention that I tried to Hard_SPL from another computer that is Windows XP, used Activesync, which didn't work either...
The only thing i can tell you is to read this thread (what you have already done i think)

you cant flash hardspl on the sd card, it must be done over activsync. u dont put it on your card, you run it from your computer. make a new folder{on your computer} and name it whatever , then unrar the file into the folder, then you should be able to flash the hardspl.make sure the ruu and the nbh file are in the folder.

I do run Custom RUU from desktop local drive and not from SD Card and results mentioned above are the ones I get. Again tried with phone on, it just tells me ERROR [224] and never goes into bootloader or anything. Tried entering the the phone to bootloader manually and connecting it to usb and run RUU, it goes a little further where it finally gets to screen of flashing progress but freezes at 0% and thats it.
Could missteps in obtaining Goldcard be the reason for such behavior?

Yes, you can flash ANY .nbh from your SD card by renaming it TOPAIMG.nbh.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is goldcard?
What is the current SPL?
I agree leemoss. You need Hardspl from your system. First synch your phone to system through Active sync. Execute the HardSpl.183, select auto flash.
Second thing i noted is on SDcard you have to rename the ROM file and store it as TOPAIMG.nbh and place in the root folder.
I read about people having problems, and the ones that weren't spent the 20 bucks on the Sim unlocker. I'd never flashed a phone before, so I went that route. It's worth it IMO.

Again this phone I am using is HTC Pure by AT&T and thats what confuses me, maybe I really do have to SIM unlock my phone before I can HSPL and flash custom .nbh ROMs?

You only need to CID unlock to flash ROMs, if you buy the SIM unlocker you get both CID and Security unlocked but it still may not work.
I see you have 1.8.33 which is good because there is not a working HSPL for 2.54
You say you tried running custom ROMs as TOPAIMG.nbh, but did you try it with the HSPL nhb? It would be the same process as doing a ROM from SD card.
I would also get rid of goldcard as that is only to recover a bricked device.
Get all goldcard stuff off your card and PC, reformatt your card to Fat32 the place the renamed TOPAIMG.nbh and proceed to bootloader.
One last pointer, another method to flash is to download Topaz Custom RUU Wrapper and put the exe file in the same folder as the .nbh on your desktop and run the .exe after your sync'd. **Make sure all firewalls and antivirus are off.**
Good Luck.

Tried still same results... freezes at flashing with 0% at progress bar. I attached view screens that concern me that RUU cant read my stock ROM Image version, is this normal? The only other thing I am gonna try to do is maybe reinstall the entire Windows Mobile Device Center, besides that I am clueless.
Have you install the enablerapinew.cab first?
If so, I'm outta tricks. Others have been having issues as well in the HSPL thread. You may have to wait for an update.
I don't think its anything on your PC unless firewall or AV aren't turned off.
Remove SD-Card and Sim-Card before HardSPL from PC. I had 2 TouchDuals before TD2, one was no prob to flash, second needed SD-Card to be removed! Once HardSPL succeeded you may leave SD-Card in TD2.
WORKING!!!
YES!!! I finally got it to SPL, what it was that my phone could not accept any .cab installations due to security issue with "unknown publisher" signature, that's why my phone didn't allow me to install enablerapinew.cab but then I just hard reset my phone installed enablerapinew.cab and everything worked, YEY! Thank you Bruce Inman, and everyone else who spend time to try to guide me through my issues, tnx!

Ok so I wanted to change the ROM because the ROM that I had kept reseting the phone and freezing and so i decided to change but when I picked a ROM and loaded it, it will not start just stays on the start up screen. Any Ideas?

This happened to me awhile back, it was caused by a corrupt download. But it could be numerous things. Do you have a T-mobile US HD2? What ROM did you flash?
It could also be caused by flashing a ROM not designed for your phone. Thats how a lot of people get bricks. A little more info would help.
yes sir i have a TMO USA phone and i tried to use of KUMARS TMOUS C5 Premium.
So do you think that if I just Flash the phone with a ROM that works this will fix it?

First, make sure it wasn't just the task29 that you performed
Second, go into bootloader and try flashing Kumar's C5 again using a different method (from sd or activesync).
Third, try formatting your sd card to FAT32 if you're flashing from it.
If none of that works you can just try a different ROM or even a stock shipped ROM.

Yeah that exact same thing happened to me awhile back. I guess it was caused by a corrupt download or something of that sort. All i did was go into bootloader and flashed a different ROM from the SD that i know for a fact works. After that, you will be fine.
Just use Mskip's guide
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. If you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

So after you flash sometimes it will let you boot fully into the ROM? And everything works until it freezes again?

yes first boot up it goes fine, i test it out by doin 3 resets prob after the 3rd one it stops working it stays on the bootscreen for ages, then il do more resets and some times it will go through but after 10sec of being done it will freeze and have to repeat until it works again. this happens even when everything is on STOCK ive done task 29 flash via sd card through everything...

Did you try reformatting the SD card, or trying a different SD? I personally have never done a Task29 Via SD, not even sure of the process, though I do one via Active Sync before every flash. Sounds like a defect in hardware, if not the SD, then the phone. Hope the replacement solves your issues, else look closely at the SD card.
Ok so I am so confused, when I flash the phone am i supposed to leave the SD card in the phone? If I just went and bought a new SD card will this fix it. I flashed the phone with a ROM that works and it works for a few days and then freezes then I have to start all over. What do I do this sucks. Is anyone in the Austin texas area that can help me?

Firstly its "ROM" not "room".
What do you mean "with triangle" ??
Which HD2 do you have and which ROM did you try flashing?
Can you get into tri-color bootloader mode?
Sorry i post my thread quickly. Yes i tried to flash a ROM, i have HD2 512MB. I tried to flash a 3.14.405 rom. triangle - i can get in tri-color bootloader mode, but when i try also flash original rom there is no result, it crashes on 9 or 17%. Triangle is a sign when i switch on a device, i believe it means ther eis no windows/rom on device

your device is not bricked... get into bootloader and do a task 29 (LOOK IT UP)...
Then start from scratch... Magldr, then whatever ROM you want.

Possible fix stuck bricked hd2 radio no rsa information
Please read the whole post first sorry about the mess it is my first post thanks to everyone here on xda who came up with everything i used to do this There is guides for this xda has a lovely list of tmous roms if you are on t mobile in the us http://www.xdafil.es/index.php?path=HD2/TMOUS/
i would start with the RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip
extract the .exe file if it has one than extract the RUU_signed.nbh from the .exe file using win war or 7 zip than rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on a newly formatted microsd not a microsdhc and i had problems with anything over class 4
place it in your phone and hold the volume down button and power button as loading comes up let off volume down power button will start the flash(i was only able to do complete flashes in the freezer if not it would hang or get radio errors)
i also had a tmous which did not want to flash the radio i would get an an error and rsa fail it sounds crazy but i wrapped it in plastic and stuck it in the freezer for a while before and during the flash this was the only way i could install the radio and actually see rgd information on boot screen after this first one you will have an old test rom with an old spl you cannot change to hspl from here i also was not able to go straight to 2.10, i had to step up from RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip, to RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip the same way i did the first one,hard resetting after each one and let it open windows completely to know it is working. than i believe there is an hspl3 file somewhere out there with all thanks to DarkForces Team HardSPL3 by bepe and Cotulla i will try to attach it that will work with spl 2.02 wich you should now be on now you can download your radio in the master radio thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
i also just renamed the ruu_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and ran through sd i seem to have problems through usb and i was trying to be careful with the radio
once you got the radio you want you could flash the rom preferably running task 29 before or get yourself magldr to install through nand i also stuck my laptop an the freezer with the phone to get wp7 completely installed i did all this mess with a phone that had a broken screen i think there is like thermal compound over the processor to the case that is not on right and overheats when not in the operating system like a crappy old laptop with its fans full of stuff trying to install xp. and while a stock rom was being installed the usb was pulled during the radio installation i hope this helps i belive i saw one post to stick it in the freezer out of everything that i think helped the most.i also notice i have to put it in the freezer at boot too sometimes or i will get a fatal hit error i think its just over heating..... i also have an hd2 which has never been opened before that i have never had to stick in the freezer it gets flashed quite abit right now running gingerbread on normal hd2 and wp7 dual boot android 2.2 on the one i had to freeze i hope this helps i was here for weeks reading reading i was stumped cus my first hd2 and g1 were so eazy i will update this post once i stop being lazy and open the phone again to replace the goop to see if that is the problem
Thank you for reading my jumble and thanks again to all you phone heads here on xda which without you none of this would be possible and i would not have wp7 and gingerbread on my hd2 : D
I did a task29, flash a ROM succesfully, but now it' s stucked in HTC loading mode (Shows a HTC and nothing happens)

no luck at all I tried it once and have succesfull rom update, but it stucks when started with HTC logo, i tried second time and still no luck. Please help me.. all the time now also for original rom it says that this room is not for that device
original rom
you have to find the original rom shipped with your phone like here i am tmobile usa roms you have to find your carrier and country and start with one of the first ones i started with my second one RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip and i kept getting stuck screens when it was hot turn it off maby find some silica gel (lil rocks that come with everything to absorb water) wrap it in plastic and throw it in the freezer does the back of the phone get real hot during flash
i have shipped original rom, still no luck
not the newest one
you need one of the first test roms this was the only way i got mine to work i had to go from 2.02 to 2.03 to 2.05 hard resetting after each install making sure they completely went in what carrier are you and where are you
Still stuck?
Download HSPL 3.zip from page 1,
Run the program;
a) select 2.08.000 (not HSPL) and you can flash stock (HTC) ROM with no damage or aftermarket changes on your phone.
b) select 2.08.HSPL and you can flash whatever you want
Install MAGLDR 1.13
Flash ROM
Make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY. You can find these all over XDA, look at all of my posts if you need to.

Hi, thanks a lot. Only, SPL for original rom was 1.42000 is it ok to flash with 2.08.000 ? And why i should install MAGLDR 1.3 ? Thanks in advance,
Ok, now i dont understand anything. My original SPL was 1.42, i did Hardspl 3, after that tried flash original rom, process stuck on 96%, after that i tried once again stuck on 9% and says rom not compatible with device. And its like a hidden circle, my phone is acting like that all the time. I tried task29, tried all HSPL, also 1.4200, 1.66 and so on. Can anybody help me? my skype nick is martins.prieditis , maybe someone can assist me?
Ok now its fixed. I did a HSPL4, due to which original rom freeze on 0%, but 3.14 didnt start up on loading OS (white screen with HTC logo))or freeze on 99%. Than went back to shipped 1.42, stock room succesfylly flashed and did a SSPL_RUU. Now the only problem is that my LEO restarts when it gets hot. Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks all for youre help (regarding my previous issue) !
Overheating??
As mrpoe stated in post 9, One of his phone had to be put in the freezer to be able to flash anything otherwise it will get hot and freeze.
Also the motherboard is most likely broken and you cannot get it to work without freezing or it will keep rebooting...
The best thing to do if you still have warranty is to Keep stock SPL and stock WM6.5 and return for warranty.
It will not function the same again.
i have here my phone htc hd2 i update the rom,but it stock to 8% then i tried the sdcard process but it also stock at around 5%...now whenever i start my phone it have a error saying software update failed please try again..i did a couple research and i think i will not supposed to do it by my self..,i need a professional and experienced dude to pLEASE help me with this.,,please please please...im a newbie here,,

When doing the update, it appears as though the phone does not have any software in it.
It reads updating from " " to "2.13.531" . If it does not detect a number, does that mean because the software update failed, it erased the software inside? I downloaded it from the T-mobile website. The file reads: T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1(2)

lol, fair enough.
ok, take the ROM.exe (that you downloaded from t mo,, it is definitely a tmous, right? green send key?)
anyway, right click the .exe file,, choose rename, change the .exe to .zip, then double click the zip file to open it, find Ruu_signed.nbh, extract it, rename it to leoimg.nbh , copy it to an Sd card that is 4GB or smaller (important, bigger cards won't work)
card into phone, reboot into bootloader, flashing should staRt. tell us what the blue writing on grey background says.if you don't see it you did something wrong.

If you are absolutely sure that the ROM you downloaded (and the radio it contains) are the right ones for your phone, then go to the boot loader and see what it says for SPL. If you do not find HSPL, flash HSPL 2.08 and then try the ROM.
Flashing aborting or getting stuck early on is an indicator of the flashing process bring stopped by SPL...

Samsamuel can tell you better but it sorta sounds like yet another stuck radio seeing as it is hanging at the 5% to the 8% area during flashing. I am not sure exactly when but hang in there and let Samsamuel post again he can give you your list of options better than I, hope you get it going again my friend.

If it was a SPL issue then that means it is a CID or a MID issue and if it is that then the Rom would not even start to flash at all no matter if it is via RUU or SD card. If the CID or the MID is wrong it would through a error saying something like "CID mismatch" or "Model I'D mismatch" when trying to flash.

I do not want to highjack this thread so after this post I will be contacting you via PM, or if you use G Talk you can hit me up on that. If you have a TMOUS HD2 I have the 3.14 stock RUU for theTMOUS HD2 on my computer and I can upload it for you if you want. But I think the ROM you have is the same as the one I have.As far as checking your radio version if you can not boot your device at least to the T-Mobile screen with the red text at the bottom left corner then you can no check your radio version.

yea I'm with TMacgnolia, , sounds like a stuck radio (albeit it's sticking earlier in the process than expected, perhaps indicating the stuck spl variant.)
combined with the vibrating I'd be thinking hardware, so I'd be trying sd flashing using the freezer trick.

sir yeah we manage to install a custom rom but the problem now is i think its on the cpu..,is there any way to fix this hardware problem..,
I could use some help, having the problem described earlier. I can't get past the 4color boot loader screen, - for a fraction of a second it goes to the insalling screen then comes back to 4color with "Serial" in the white.
Here is what I have on my HD2: Android 2.3.5 Radio 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Here is what I have tried to install through sd card: RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_Signed_LEO_Ship.zip (renamed .zip, was .exe) and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.zip (renamed .zip, was .exe)
I tried 3 different sd cards; (2) 2 gig cards (1) 4gig cards. I reformated several times before copying and renaming the nbh file.
What next? Thanks
just to confirm, you rename the exe to zip, open the zip, extract Ruu_signed.nbh, rename that to leoimg.nbh, copy that t sd and reboot, correct?
also, please confirm that you do in fact have a tmous.
the brief flash usually means the file was renamed incorrectly, for example depending on the file extension settings, it has been known for a file to end up getting called leoimg.nbh.nbh
the fact that it flickers means it is detecting something, but finding a problem.

Thanks. That makes sense. I can't check for 6 or 7 hours until I get home for the day. I'm using W7, and have never really gotten how to view the real extension on a file, not like the good old DOS days. yes I have a tmous. After requesting the help, I tried the same card in my brother's HD2 that I need to restore as well, and got the same response, so it has to be the card/name not my HD2. I'll post back when I check it out. Thanks again.

the brief flash usually means the file was renamed incorrectly, for example depending on the file extension settings, it has been known for a file to end up getting called leoimg.nbh.nbh
the fact that it flickers means it is detecting something, but finding a problem.

I renamed the file, making sure there was only one .nbh extension. Still not working. I tried it with both tmos roms, I reformated the card, I tried it on both phones. Obviously, I have done something wrong with the file, but read and re-read the instructions and I can't find what it is.
Any ideas would be great.
