I think my 8125 is bricked. I've never had a problem flashing roms until yesterday I tried Farias Kitchen ROM. I flashing went through ok like normal, but when it restarted, it gets a little bit after the second splash screen. The green windows mobile with farias names at the bottom loads, then the topbar of windows mobile loads with the start button, but then nothing else.
I've tried reflashing it in forced bootload mode as well as doing a hard reset. no luck. The update utility keeps telling me that it is an invalid update tool, please get a newer update utility. I've tried taking the battery out for a while and from there doing forced bootloader. Still no luck
Any suggestions?

What are you trying to re-flash it with in the BL?
You should be able to flash the loverom without a problem.

Thanks, I'm gonna download it right now and try it. What is different about this ROM than any of the cooked roms I have already as well as and official one. All of them in past have worked for me without a problem until now.

Well, it sounds like it may have just been a bad casserole you cooked.
But, you could probably even re-flash using your carrier ROM. This one is just a fool-proof way to get you back on your feet. This ROM is just G3/G4 independent and doesn't include a radio, ipl/spl, or extrom.

Nope, just tried flashing that ROM mentioned above, and still the same answer. It keeps telling me that I need to get a new update utility. That is so weird because I never had that problem. I have already tried flashing the official as well with no luck.

I put the phone in bootload mode by pressing and holding the camera button, then resetting by pushing the reset hole which then loads it to a colorful screen which I assume is the bootloader screen. Then I just connect it and try to flash it using one of the ROMS i have. Thats how I did it the past couple of times.
What upgrade utility are you using? You might wanna try the one attached! It is the 'NO_ID' version and up to now it flashed everything! Simply extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop, then copy your nbf file in to it too and run the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
hello
im having the same problem, i just tried it, didnt work for me
Did you CID unlock your phone before trying to flash it? Did you also try to flash it with your shipped ROM again?
My phone also appears to be bricked. It locked at 99%, and after trying the steps indicated in the core2.0 installer, it closed, and I'm having difficulty figuring out the next step. As is, I get ERROR [264] CONNECTION. Is there a way to get the phone functional enough to load an OS? I've been searching these forums for about 30 minutes and haven't found what I'm looking for. There should be a recovery wiki.
I have the same problem...

First thing you could try is to flash it with your shipped ROM again (the one you had on there originally). If that does not work you might want to search the forum for the LOVE ROM ??? I never tried that one but people say it should worke on any device (G3 /G4).

From the thread for your rom:
INFO / CURRENT ISSUES & SOLUTIONS ***PLS READ THIS***
*This ROM require at least radio v2.07. v208 is highly recommended.

There would be a radio on your device from your original rom, it's probably just the wrong version. As stated, for that rom you require either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Follow the link in my signature and flash the radio exactly the same way as you flashed your rom.
OKay i got all that but i cant flash it because the phone is stuck at the white htc boot screen so the customRuu doesnt recognize it.
what do i do now? im stumped.. is there a manual hard reset key press or something?
EDIT: I figured out how to get into bootloader and im now putting the right radio on it, lets see if this works

Just pot your phone in bootloader mode by reseting while presing volume down button and after that flash the proper radio.

Putting the radio wich you suggested on it didnt work, it still hangs at the white htc screen... should i flash another rom? i really dont wanna kill my HD2 haha
any ideas? i apologize for bumping but im really not at home in the flashing world and im fearing that my phone really wont start

I sugest you to flash back your original rom by sd card and restart the whole proces once again by flashing the radio first and after that the desired rom.
By flashing the original rom trought sd card metod you will have to reinstall HSPL.

a Rom Canot Work Without Radio Thats Why wont get thrue
try this and see....
try to hold both up/dowm volume keys and thn hold power button.
one message will appear tht,if u want to restore ur phone or not, press the upper volume button, ur phone will restore on its original settings.......try it out.....
mine got stuck on the white screen last week... i removed the SD card, restarted it again and then it worked...then i retried with the sd card and it was ok... don't know why
i have nothing to say apart from
Jeez!!!
I know apparently this isnt the best way to flash your HD2, but im stuck without any access to windows. (mac user)
i cant seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this properly....
is there a link somewhere i can get to so i can figure this out? isnt it as simple as copying the custom.nbh file to the root of my memory card, and entering the bootloader screen?
Sorry for all the noob questions.
take ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sdcard formatted fat32 (2gb cards seen to work best) rename it leoimg.nbh, boot to bootloader and it should detect the image and ask if you want to flash.
it still requires hspl, unless you have a goldcard(easier to borrow a pc for two minutes to apply hspl than make a goldcard)
the phones already been flashed with hspl.
i just want to change the rom!
Thanks for the tips im going to go for it right now

Hi
One advice you have to remember is DO NOT flash any official rom with this method. If you do it will replace the hspl and you will be stuck.
Good luck

True, flashing a stock rom via sd card will overwrite hspl with the new stock spl, but you will not necessarily be stuck. That used to be the case before hspl2, as the original hspl only worked with spl 1.42.0000. HSPL2 now works with 1.42.0000, 1.66.0000 or 2.08.0000 spl's.
or just throw your mac away and buy a PC
What many forget is that you actually need an SD card and not SDHC, as those will not work.
understand u already flash hspl,
microSD / microSDHC will work as long it is formatted with FAT32 fs.
just copy the *.nbh to SD root & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.
enter bootloader, follow on-screen.
if bootloader cant find any rom image, run scandisk & try again.
gd luck.
I just flashed this rom.
It seemed to be fine. It installed and looked a-ok.
I had a look around and every thing looked as it should.
I added "26.4 column Start menu.cab" and now the phone won't reboot at all.
It gets to the HTC white screen, and then hangs.
Any ideas?
Is it a conflict between the 4 columns app and the ROM?

when you say "just flashed this rom", what rom?
also, did you read ALL the first few posts in the chefs thread? chances are it requires a specific radio version
either that or you didn't do a hard reset after you flashed.
apologies, I replied in here when I thought I was in the HTC Energy thread.
The device rebooted after the flash.
Does that not count as a hard reset?
samsamuel said:
Is it T Mobile usa? if so, then you have flashed an incompatible rom.
tmous (T Mo US) phones will opnly take roms based on 2.10, the rom you have installed is 1.66 (D 1. 66. Kumar)
Kumar has a rom in the Tmo US section based on 2.10, you should use that, not the one in teh normal hd2 section.
With power off, press and hold "volume down", tap the power key and continue to hold vol down until you get the three coloured screen, connect to usb, wait for word 'serial' to become 'usb' and flash a compatible rom.

I ran into the same problem and all I had to do was to get the phone into Bootloader and then flash the radio recommended by ROM Cook.
also the same problem
I have also this problem, but I think it's in the rom, when I installed the rom, everything seems ok, but after a reset, the screenthat I get is the white HTC screen.
After a hard reset it is ok, but after a reset it is the same problem.
Then I thought, i take an older rom, but when I've installed the rom he is automatic installing the cab file's at the end of the installation, and he's going to automatic reset the HD2. After the reset I have the same problem as with the new rom.
So the biggest problem is that I can't install another rom or radio because the rom don't start for 100%, and when I do a hard reset, after the reset at the end of the installation I get the white HTC screen.
What can I do, can I fix this problem?

RTFM. These constant posts about white screen hangs are really getting frustrating. Does nobody follow the forum rules of searching any longer? There's nothing wrong with the rom, the user on the other hand I'm not so sure of.

If you bothered to read even just the last 5 pages of the Energy thread you would have seen probably 20 mentions of the problem. Energy rom won't work with a x.xx.51.xx radio.
Well I got my new Leo 13 days ago and I've tried to make the stock ROM work to my satisfaction but between the T-Mo junk installed and terrible battery life I decided it was time to try a cooked ROM...
So I read and read and read some more...It's not my first run at this but I wanted to understand everything so I didn't end up with a $449 paperweight.
This morning I download and installed the HSPL-1024....No problems, went just as the instructions said....
I then download a 1024 T-Mo tested/approved Energy Rom and I install it on my LEO.... No problem everything went as it should. I played with the rom and wanted to try another one with a different look so I found another 1024 LEO Rom, the RoMEoS4 or something like that.... Anyway, that install went just fine...
After installing both cooked ROMS I noticed I was having freezing/locking up issues and had to keep soft reseting so after several hours of it locking up I decided to just revert back to the stock T-Mo USA rom.
I then went on here and found the exact shipped rom I had originally (I had documented the versions I had prior to HSPL and the cooked rom's)
http://beta.vbnfiles.com/index.php?...08.50.08_2_Ship.zip&directory=xmoo/Leo/TMOUS&
Instructions on here clearly explained how to revert back (for warranty purposes) so I downloaded the exact stock rom, extracted it to my desktop and renamed the nbh file leoimg.nbh.... I then copied it to a formatted 8gb SDcard and inserted it into the phone.
Instructions said to hold the Volume down botton and the Power button until it boots into the bootloader and then begins to install off the card. I did this exactly and shortly after it began loading off the card it went back to the bootloader and said "Upgrade Rom Code Error, Please try again" it then goes to a gray screen that says "Loading" and stays there...stuck.
Here's a video of what it does when I try to load off the sdcard.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCD_-EuI1_Q
I have no idea what happened or what to do to get it out of this...
Thanks for your time!

Put it into bootloader mode, hook it up to your computer with USB, and run to stock image like you did with the cooked roms. That should flash it back to stock. Then, if you want to take the hspl off, you can just run the hspl program again and change it back to your lod spl. No need to use SD card.
Every time a thread like this pops up, I can't help but wish that the "flash from SD card" method and every reference to it could be eradicated from the collective consciousness of this forum and all unwitting participants who fall into this trap... at least long enough to establish that:
1) it isn't a necessary or preferred method to flash.
2) it has the potential to cause stuff like this to happen.

I got those instructions from a very popular chef on here so I was under the assumption that was the only way to revert back from HSPL
I've learned a valuable lesson here.....Leave it the hell alone!!!!
I'm sweating bullets right now....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6162635&postcount=86
If you can get to the boot loader, then you should be able to fix this pretty easily.
I'd do this:
Get to the boot loader, check the SPL version. Do you have HSPL 2.08?
IF no, install it using HSPL2_1024_RUN, (if you want a custom ROM option), or install the standard SPL if you want to have an "unhacked" HD2, and flash the stock ROM. Done.
IF HSPL 2.08 is installed and you want it like that to install custom ROMs, then I'd do the following, just for good measure:
run MTTY/task29 to clean out all the old stuff (see my sig line)
flash the TMOUS 2.08 Radio
flash a custom TMOUS compatible ROM

No, the new version of HSPL (HSPL2_1024_RUN) has an option to re-install the standard SPL. If I wanted to do that, i'd definitely use HSPL2_1024_RUN to do it.

Ok thank you....
The SPL reverted back to the original 2.08 SPL when it began the install the stock rom (before it gave me the error) So it does not have the HSPL in it anymore.
I've tried all kinds of different things to fix it but I get an error or no response with everything.
I did try to reinstall the HSPL but when I try I get the below error from the HSPL2 proggie.

I believe this is why I've not been able to fix it myself.... I'm usually pretty good with these installs. My Kaiser saw hundreds of new roms if not more and I never ran into this.

Make sure you have the sd card out of the phone. So you get into bootloader mode, and you run the rom update from the computer? Maybe try downloading the stock rom again to make sure it's not corrupted. You should be able to flash it from your computer.
Before flashing any rom I would do task29 and completely wipe the internal memory, so you don't have any issues with left over files from the last rom. That is most likely why you started having problems in the first place. I used to think oh I can just flash a rom and it will work like new, but nope I had more problems I could deal with and almost returned the damn thing. Once you know what you are doing WM is a great OS to have and the only other phone I thought even cam eclose toa WM phone was the iPhone anyG, if i'm allowed to say that here. So, task29 first then enter bootloader and the run your customruu with any rom compatible with the TMOUS HD2 1024. Any questions just holla.

You should be able to install the T-Mobile Stock rom without needing HSPL I think. Make sure it's the stock rom you have... not a modified or cooked version.

There is no SIM or SD card in it.
No, it's not installing via my computer.....It's still sitting at 0% and been there since I began typing this thread... (30 mins) I thought I may have gotten a bad download so I've re-downloaded the stock rom twice now and still the same thing.... Sits at zero percent.

You should be able to install the T-Mobile Stock rom without needing HSPL I think. Make sure it's the stock rom you have... not a modified or cooked version.

Here's where I got the stock rom.... Last link in the 1st post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6042320&postcount=1
I got the second one elsewhere on XDA but I can't recall where.
If you can get your phone into bootloader then just do task29. Here is the Mega link.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J3OELQ8I
Once task29 is done, pull your battery out and replace after 10-15 secs. Then enter bootloader again and try the stock or custom rom you want. I have been at the 0% screen before even 70% and 99% and stuck. Mine is the HTC HD2 TMOUS branded and I am currently using the AxLor Leo V9 rom and she works like a dream. Let me know if you need help.

just to double check something, you keep referring to hspl2, and you get bad model ID,, you know hspl2 and hspl1024 are different progs? I'm assuming you have a tmous? you arent trying to run the wrong hspl in your haste/panic are you?

ahh ok, that IS the stock rom, but its a repack of the 2.1 rom, not an official .exe/nbh pack. (Well, my kitchen wont import it, says its not official, and it comes with customruu)
However, look for
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship
which is the packed ship .exe. (and does open as official in the kitchen)
ill submit this, and see if i can find the link.
EDIT - heres a mirror of
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe

I am glad you pointed out this error on my part. I honestly did not know that HSPL2 and HSPL1024 were 2 different programs....
I was merely referring to HSPL1024 as the second version of HSPL....or HSPL2..... I didn't mean to create confusion... sorry about that...
To confirm I am using HSPL-1024

Every time a thread like this pops up, I can't help but wish that the "flash from SD card" method and every reference to it could be eradicated from the collective consciousness of this forum and all unwitting participants who fall into this trap... at least long enough to establish that:
1) it isn't a necessary or preferred method to flash.
2) it has the potential to cause stuff like this to happen.

so I'm kinda confused...you say that that you shouldn't flash from the sd card. and im sure you know more about this technically speaking than I do but what confuses me is I've been told and read MANY times by people probably more experience than both of us that flashing from your sd card IS the safest way to flash...im not saying your wrong but it concerns me because that is the method I use mainly for convience.but if this has the potential to destroy my very expensive device that I can't afford to replace I would REALLY like to know and know why. if anybody can guide me here why two different stories and maybe some reasons why one method had a higher chance for problems I would really appreciate it =)
I tried to cook my own ROM and when I installed, the installation was successful. But after that my phone does not start. when I click the power button, the phone does not boot.
My ROM size was close to 300 MB.
Any help is appreciated.

Phone doesn't boot? What do you mean doesn't do anything or gets stuck?
If your device turns on you could try to get in bootloader by holding volume down when turning on the device. If that works you can connect to usb and flash another rom
When I hit the power button nothing happens, the screen is black, the device does not start. No bootloader, no led light nothing, I tried hard reset, I tried the reset button.
When I was installing the custom ROM the battery was full. When I connect to USB, the computer says some Qualcomm device thats it.
If you cant boot in bootloader, then its screwed. But you said your pc sees it as qualcom device...so it probably ok.
Just put it in bootloader, and flash a stock ROM.
PC shows as "qualcomm cdma technologies msm". But nothing else not going to bootloader
Did your ROM had a radio in it or only the OS?
I guess only OS, I think I did not have Radio
Did you tried to leave the battery?
Which Original stock rom did you used for cooking your own? Have you a link?
Did you already searched in forum for a possible fix?
i found some links http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...mqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=hd2+bricked&sa=Search
Give us as more infoes as you can.
HD2: Tmous or Htc brand?
HDSPL? Have you installed one?
It a tmobile. I used the Oskitchen and downloaded a stock ROM to start. I removed some of the items that I did not want, then after I did "start building". I took the "RUU_Signed_0409" from the output folder. I flashed this to my device.
HDSPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 I followed this tutorial.
Can you please let me know what you mean by "Did you tried to leave the battery?"
Leave the battery means Take out the battery for some times and then return it inside.
Did you dump a TMOUS Stock rom, right?

Can you please compress the ROM and upload it somewhere so we can take a look? If you didn't select splash screen or radio the ROM should contain only the OS section and therefore be safe to flash.
MOD EDIT: removed link because not safe,PM OP for link. thanks.
@ Airxtreme:
Did you see his prvious post? See below, he hisnt totaly sure by Radio.
Most TMOUS mobiles Rom upgrade failure are due to flash a non compatible RADIO , its not safe to flash the rom linked.
Im removing the link, if someone wanna try what Airxtreme suggested, please share it by PM....sorry but i do not want some noobs complaining for his phone bricked.

Sorry but the archive seems to be corrupted however from the part I could extract it looks like the ROM file except for the fact that it's 400mb big (but it shouldn't be a problem if yours is a TMOUS phone) has only the OS section and that means it should have been safe to flash. Try removing the battery as suggested, unless you have issues with your computer's USB or some other application messing up the RUU updater the phone shouldn't have been permanently bricked also when you turn it on to enter the bootloader mode try doing it with the phone not connected to the computer maybe it just doesn't like the USB port.

From what I saw there is no radio in there and the archive wouldn't even extract so I don't think there is any risk about somebody flashing that file.
Yeah i see that it is corrupted, but you know ....i have seen some recent post in Kaiser forum with people with Different phones then the Kaiser, asking in Spl thread how to install it on their phone....so better dont risk imo
