[Q] Cannot flash anything....? - HD2 General

Any idea's
i have two Hd2's the one phone has all the bells and whistles, hspl/rom/radio/android. All done without any issues flashed using the SD card, The other is stock, Its my wifes and she wants to have the same coolness level to her hd2 so she asked me to hook it up and that's where the problem begins.
both phones are the same, purchased at same time. same SD card.
I formatted the SD card did the HSPL both as 2.08 and 2.08000 or whatever it is and i am unable to flash any "Custom roms" or radios. I tried off the card first and it hung at the bootloader at "Serial". i attributed this to the card maybe being
" 16GB class 2" from online searching, So i used and old 2GB card i had lying around and same thing no go. No big deal i figured as surly i could flash anything through the exe files that come with the roms and radios through the computer. This also failed, The program loads and recognizes the phone and the current build and acknowledges what rom its going to be "updating" too but then once it hits the loading screen it hangs at 0 % then returns and communication error. And takes we through the recovery steps.
Finally as a last ditch effort i went and downloaded the new 3.14 update from TMO mainly to see if that would update without failing and it did with out a hitch...weird...?
i now have android running off the SD card with the new stock Wmo update and everything is working okay
but that still leaves me stumped why i was unable to flash any radios or roms........? even from the computer

You need HSPL3 Because your stock SPL is 2.10. They should update that sticky... SPL 2.8 worked with the first shipped ROM. Once 2.13 started shipping it no longer works. HSPL3 yo.
Stock roms from T Mobile don't require HardSPL so they will flash no matter what SPL you are running.

$25 reward to fix my phone. Problems for over 45 days.

I won't bother with the exact history of things but I'll tell you what's on the phone and what I can't get to work.
SPL-2.00. 10000 XE
Radio 2.06.50.04
ROM Leo lite 2.6 WE (21892.5.0.89)
Current ROM works until I try to do anything involving phone radio and then it just locks up. My radio is not up to date for this ROM I assume.
Trying to flash anything at all via LEOIMG microsd card does nothing but sit at the Loading.... screen with never any progress. (I have also tried this with a goldcard that somebody made me and I get the same error.) Have used both a 16gb card and a 2gb card, all formatted to fat32
I am unable to flash a new ROM or new Radio or get the SPL to allow any OEM ROM/SPL package to install via SDcard.
Trying to flash anything with the standard flasher tool and it never did anything but time out. SSPL used to work but now it does nothing but time out. I'm stuck on this ROM, can't change it and phone doesn't work.
What I would like to do is get HSPL back on it, the most current radio and the latest US T-Mobile ROM
If you can help me do this I will pay $25 for the person to help me get it off my phone. There is a chance my goldcard could have been made incorrectly, I don't know anything about them. I can pay you via PayPal or mail you a check, whatever works for you. All I can do is give you my word that I will keep my end of the deal. I'm a 44 year old family man and a department manager of a casino. I would really appreciate any help.
If I posted this in the wrong place please move it but I'm at wits end and just want my phone back to normal.
Edit: Just to be clear, the $25 reward is for getting the SPL 2.0 off of my phone and/or getting me upgraded to the latest radio so I can run the most current TmoUSA ROM properly.
the problem appears to be that you have slightly different hardware to every one else.
didnt realise you were having issues with sspl, that at least should work ok. by time out do you mean there sspl boot screen appears burt nothing else?
if so what happens if you disconnect the usb cable and plug it back in?
if it changes to usb then rerun the sspl without changing anything on the hd2
you could also try - and uninstall the windows drivers for the qualcomm cdma drivers or whatever they are called on you pc. and reconnect in boot loader to let them reinstall.
SSPL used to work, it stopped working after I flashed a newer rom to play with. When I use the SSPL it goes into the bootloader screen just fine, then I hear the USB disconnect sound and the SSPL program times out quickly with the exit button citing no connection.
I have 2 x Windows 7 64 bit computers, 1 x Windows 7 32 bit and one XP 32 bit computer. I get the same results on any of them. All after the most recent ROM upgrade.
I have not tried running SSPL from boot loader screen, did not know that was possible. Trying that now. Just need to download a known working ROM.
If that works I'll be back in the same boat as before, stuck with 2.0 SPL and 2.06 radio. I want that SPL 2.0 off my phone badly.
OK, trying SSPL from the bootloader screen got me a little further towards ROM flashing. I can see the htc on the black screen with the progress bar. It now sits at 0% with no movement indefinitely.
Going to try another ROM and see if I can get the ROM installation to actually begin.
If you still haven't tried it do this: start SSPL when you hear the USB disconnect sound remove the USB cable (either from device or PC) and then connect it again! this should allow the SSPL to enter USB mode! I've had similar problems long ago and this trick was doing the job! Not sure that it will help you but just a thought!
Newb here:
I had something similar. I installed HSPL and everything was fine thereafter. The radio wouldn't flash any other way, in fact it would disconnect like you said, or if I manualy took the phone to boot loader, it would stick at 0%.
There is a HSPL thread stickied in the ROM section and I believe it explains how to remove it if you need to "re" validate your warranty. Although reading once more it does say you need SPL 1.42 to get it to install.
Have you tried installing an official HTC ROM downlaoded from their site? This will take you back to the original SPL version 1.42...
I don't have HSPL on my phone, I have SPL 2.0 Nothing is out currently to remove a later SPL with the exception of flashing an OEM full package ROM through the sd card but that doesn't work for me.
I have tried multiple roms now using SSPL from the bootloader screen and none will move the progress bar past 0%
Still stuck. : - (
Have you tried to hard spl it? If I missed it in your post, I apologize.
Not in a long while, I should try again I guess but I was totally under the impression that HSPL will error all the time unless you have SPL 1.42 installed on the phone.
Edit: Just tried and it errors because SPL 1.42 is not on the phone, it's the only SPL that HSPL works on as far as I know.
balane have you tried installing a stock rom from your SD card? this would revert the spl back to 1.42 and allow you to then flash HSPL (I think, almost certain) but you said you cant do anything with the sd card, have you tried that? have you tried with different SD cards? also have you made sure that it is formatted to FAT32?
Another thing you could try if all else fails: MTTY, look at the MTTY thread by MystikGenius, its stickied in the rom development section, this will format your phone from which you can then try to flash from usb or sd. I would recomend trying to flash from SD which then again may revert your spl.
Im going to school now so I wont be able to help you anymore 8 or so hours, but PM me later if your still stuck.
I may be wrong but from what I read in the threads I thought it was not possible to go back to anything under 2.0 once you flash a 2.0 SPL. You can't flash back to 1.48 or 1.66. You might be able to flash the new TMOUS which is in the 2.0 SPL range.
Yes, I've tried dozens of stock roms from the sdcard, every one I could find in fact and they all hang at the Loading... screen. As stated in the op, I used two different cards both formatted to fat32. I guess I could try a third card, not sure if it's worth a try or not.
I looked at MTTY but that doesn't do a thing with SPL and my SPL is the root of my issues.
Update: I finally did find a ROM I could get flashed via SSPL. It took like 3 tries to get the progress bar going but it did get installed. I can't even recall what series of events got it to go but at least my phone turns on and works.
Still the same SPL and radio though. No change there.

I could have swore I read some people who were able to get the SPL 2.0 off their phones but I could be mistaken. I'm actually ok with any SPL as long as I can sspl different ROMs. I just want to get the radio current so I can run the latest TmoUS ROM, I would totally and 100% pleased with being able to update the radio. I have found now way to flash a more current radio.

No it won't be SSPL as we know it, the HTC stock ROM you can download from their site (Google "HTC HD2 DOWNLOAD") will use it's own method of getting onto your device and will reload SPL 1.42 for you. Although apparently you may not be able to do this with SPL 2. You say you have done it with a gold card, have you tried the stock rom downloaded from HTC via USB?
Otherwise, pester bepe for when the HSPL comes out that is compatible ywith SPL 2!

When you say oem, do you mean just the nbh with which you have tried to install using tools or the self extracting exe that HTC provide? I'm just asking cos to me, oem means it comes without all the manufacturers extras.
I've always been under the impression that the only way to downgrade an SPL was to install a complete OEM package ROM/Splash/Radio/SPL as a LEOIMG.nbh from the root of the SD card. I've tried dozens of these both from US based ROMs and abroad. None of gone past the Loading.... screen. I've tried 1.42 and above ROMs, no luck with any.

flashing rom from sd card after task29

hi im using energy roms and havent really had any problems anyway ive done task 29 and tried to flash rom from sd card which is formatted to fat32 and it either stops arond 5 percent and says update failed or gets to about 99 percent and does nothing the only way i can reflash rom is from bootloader using the flash from pc is they anything that im doing wrong as as far as i know its better to flash from sd card thanks

I flashed many times and many roms. Never use SD card method. Never fails so far.
What I understand, using sd card to flash the rom, for best result, use the brand new sd card. And, if you use sd card to flash the ship rom, your existing SPL will be overwritten.
Cheers,
ok thanks could my sd card be playing up cause i have latest hspl and done flash 29 then try to flash with sd card (formatted fat32) and always gets to about 4 percent and says terminate failed or something i did a task29 before without drivers and mtty and it crashed (pc) so will that have anyhing to do with it

anyone have any ideas
best idea is forget sd card flashing. Use usb.
regarding the crash, and teh failing to flash, you haven't told us what it says next to 'spl' in bootloader. Very often people say ' i have the latest hspl' but ten posts later it comes out that they have 2.08.0000 or something.
Have you flashed your stock rom? or any official roms?

ok, you're making the standard noob mistake when writingout the spl.
there is no such thing as 2.08.0000 hspl
there is either
2.08.0000 which is stock so flashing won't work
or
2.08.hspl which means hspl is installed.
the key is the last 4 digits of the number.
if it ends 0000 then it is stock and hspl is not installed.
for hspl to be installed it must end .hspl

Can't install any Android ROM

Hi, I tried searching and I can't seem to find anything that helps. I followed all the instructions to install Android on my 1024LEO TMOUS and something just doesn't seem to be working. Regardless of the ROM, during first boot it goes through everything it has to go through and then gets stuck on either a black or a white screen with that has the HTC logo on it. I tried using a different WMo ROM and a different radio with no success. I also tried a different MicroSD card with no success. If I pull the battery and restart, it once again will get stuck at the same screen. Any ideas?
Check your Radio
i suggest Radio_2_14_50_04

Installed that radio, formatted my memory card, entered a new Android installation process. Everything went smooth up until a black screen with the htc logo popped up yet again. Any other ideas?
I would actually flash the original t-mo package. This will flash the rom, radio, and spl back to factory. Its the same process as flashing radios and everything else. You just gotta find the package online.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From there or skipping the above i would format the sdcard using a full format and fat32 and copy your android folder to it. I recommend using hyperdroid 1.6
then Flash a hspl or hard spl
Next I would flash VBNDroidRC3 if you do not plan on using windows mobile. If you still want to use windows mobile skip this step.
Now you should flash a new radio. I recommend 2.12.50.02_2
Now before you attempt to boot android for the first time reset your phone. Power it off. Hold both vol up and vol down while pressing power. then press up to reset as the screen says, then vol up again to restart.
Video will look funky on first boot while booting. Once booted video will be normal. First boot can take up to 20 minutes for some people.
Just out of interest how long are you leavning the HTC logo screen there for? First boot can take a long time as it creates the data store (cache) for android to use and depending on the build and how fast your memory card is (class 4 for example) can take anywhere up to 20 mins in some cases to create.

I long did you wait after the HTC blackscreen popped up? Some build requires a minimum of 5-10 minutes, yet other requires 15-20 minutes.
Just did a full reformat, loaded HyperDroid V1.6 onto the memory card, started the installation process, and left for 35 minutes. Came back to a black screen with the htc logo on it.
My ROM is: |WWE|TMO Leo|¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ | 21916 | 23138 |`·.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 2018 ¯)
Radio Version: 2.14.50.04 and I tried it with 2 other radio versions.
I used HSPL3 to flash the phone to SPL-2.08.HSPL.
I also tried using Chucky ROM and ended up with the exact same results. Starting to feel hopeless here
Try using HSPL2 instead and change your SPL-2.08.HSPL to 2.08.0000.
Then apply the official t-mobile update rom here: http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
Then use HSPL2 and flash a hard SPL again. Then your wm rom, then radio, then run android for the first time.
Also do a full format of your memory card. not a quick format

The HSPL3 could be your problem. I'm also running EnergyRom but with radio 2.12 and HSPL2. Everything runs great on my end.
Try using HSPL2 instead of HSPL3.

idk, that may be possible there, but im using HSPL3 with standard energy and 2.12.50 and all roms install.
Okay, so I installed the original T-Mobile US ROM. This made my SLP version 2.10.0000. I downgraded it to 2.08.0000 using HSLP3. Then I used HSLP2 to flash it to 2.08.HSLP. I flashed the Energy ROM and 2.12.50.02_2 radio. Tried to install a different Android ROM and it froze yet again at the HTC screen. I waited for about half an hour and pulled the battery. Only difference that I noticed now is that while the HTC screen was on, a green LED was flashing every few seconds. Windows Mobile works flawlessly though... I'm not giving up yet but I'm pretty close to it
I'm having the same issue after switching from the 16GB SD card that came with the HD2 to a 8GB class 4 card I had at home. Seems like something to do with the SD card imo. Any thoughts? I've tried a full format and the card appears to be working fine.

I think he is onto something. Consider this:
Windows mobile works fine, all the flashing works fine. Try another sdcard and see if that works. Also I suggest you call t-mobile and request another sdcard. T-mobile admits that they were having issues with their sdcards not saving data or the phone having issues detecting them. Call them and say your memory card sometimes doesnt show as being detected and they should issue you a replacement card.

booting android
u still having problems what does ur startup text say...................
set cmdline " what does it say here "
Picked up a new SD card today, attempted to install a build that would previously get hung up on the black screen that said htc on it (NexusHD2) and as usual it ended up getting stuck at the very same screen again. I should point out though that I was able to get FroyoStone build working without any issues. I figured I'd screw around with the kernels and I ended up replacing the zImage used in the NexusHD2 build with the one used in FroyoStone build. It booted up! I got it running on my phone right now. I have yet to try this tactic out on other builds but for now I'll have to guess that this issue appears to be related to the kernel.
I can confirm that this issue was related to the kernel. Just had success installing HyperDroid 1.7 using the zImage from FroyoStone. Thank you to everybody who contributed. Hope this thread might be of assistance to someone in the future.
I've also had the HTC logo problem with starting Android. I've tried everything suggested but the only thing that helped and worked was formatting SD card with phone. I'm using Artemis WinMo ROM and it has an utility for SD card formatting. After I had formatted my SD card with that utility I've finally managed to start Android with any problems at all.

[FIXED] Cant install ANY radio on a TMOUS HD2

Having a problem with a friends TMOUS HD2.
It was Borked when trying to install Android (Nand) and he gave it to me to try and fix.
Managed to get rid of MAGLDR by Task 29ing and flashing an 'EnergyROM' BUT.... it seems there is NO radio on the phone.
Trying to install the official TMOUS upgrade via the SD Card method fails at the radio stage with the error:
'00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - Fail
RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail'
Trying to install the official ROM via USB instead of SD Card, it always fails at 8%.
trying to install any radio via USB fails at 96%....
This has me confused as all hell.... any ideas??
Andy
What SPL or HSPL is on the HD2? This could be your problem.
Lots of similar threads if you look around carefully,, "stuck radio" its commonly called.
There are very very few successful ones, tho,I'm sorry to say. One or two along the lines of using certain test roms in a certain order, and such.
Good look, keep hopeful, but prepare for dissapointment.
have you tried flashing a radio via SD card?
also, have you tried uninstalling HSPL THEN stock ROM via official site?

Done both of those. Still fails when installing the radio,
If I do the radio ONLY, it fails at 98% wether its via USB or via SD Card. If I install the full official ROM, it fails at 8%, which is where its installing the radio.....
Been using HSPL 2.08 and SPL 2.08 ....

just for grins can you run HSPL4 and flash SPL 3.03 then try flashing a 3.04 ROM?
edit:
you might also try this:
1) flash task29
2) flash 2.15.00 via RUU,
this might work if for some reason some remnants of the ROM is somehow preventing your HD2 correctly communicating during radio flash.

Hey cerrect me if I am wrong but the OP can use the .nbh file of th e 2.15.00 radio to run the Task 29 on the HD2 but also flash the radio to the HD2. I mean Task 29 just needs a .nbh file to work.
Go check out post #2 and #6 of the [REF] Task 29 (format) without drivers, without mtty. thread.
you're right, it's the NBH file that makes the difference.
ok, well its definitely a radio problem.
I got the latest tmous upgrade rom from their site ( Using the Serial number to ensure it was the right ROM.)
T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1
When I try to install it, it fails at 8%.
I purchased PSAS and used it to strip all the files out of the NBH, then I rebuilt it WITHOUT the radio.
The ROM installs fine now BUT.....
If I try to install the radio only, I get an error at 96%
So the phone is FINE to install a ROM on, but CANT install a Radio.... AT ALL.
Used HSPL 3.03 and 2.08, Also tried 3.03.0000 and 2.08.0000.
Did the task29 with the radio.... failed at the same point.
Tried making a goldcard with PSAS, but when I do that, it gets stuck on 'loading' when trying to flash the radio from SD Card (Tried 2 SD cards, both 2GB and the same thing happened.)
Contacted HTC Europe and they wont take the phone as its a US version
Dont suppose anyone has JTAG hardware and wouldnt mind trying to fix this as it seems it is my only option now

DUDE I GOT EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU....
And its not even my HD2
So you got any solution yet?
pleasee
FIXED
Got it sorted out now
How I did it:
PURE LUCK
Installed HSPL 2.08 on the phone
Downloaded T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1 from the tmobile website.
used PSAS to split the nbh into its components, then rebuilt it WITHOUT the radio.
booted the phone into bootloader and installed the ROM via USB ( without radio)
Formatted a 2gb SD card in windows.... FAT32 4096kb cluster size
Radio 2.15.40.14 renamed to LEOIMG.nbh and put at the root of the SD card.
Popped it in the phone and booted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.

and what does that mean ghehe.
i want the phone back to get it back to the guy!! otherwise i need to pay a NEW HD2 for him and i cant...
EDIT: can you PM me the program or your msn maybe ? :$
you dont need the program..... Just install HSPL on your phone, Flash a ROM that has no radio (a custom ROM such as the EnergyROM would do fine) using USB/bootloader method then get the radio you need onto a freshly formatted (FAT32 with 4096kb cluster size) SD card LESS than 4GB in size. Rename the radio 'LEOIMG.nbh' and then just KEEP TRYING. Perserverance is the name of the game here.
I made over 50 attempts before one went through.
Oh.... gettting the ROM (with no Radio) onto the phone took a few attempts aswell. Think it was 3 or 4, but I kept going because the install was failing at different places each time)

hmm..
so in short.
I just put 2.08 HSPL on it, then install a CUSTOM rom.. after that, i get back to the bootloader and insert the goldcard with the freshly new 2.15 radio and when it gives a RSA failed error i just try like 50 times???
Thanks.
Worked for me. Dont even need a goldcard as they dont work with HSPL installed in the phone... only with stock SPLs

do i need a new radio flashing?

Hi guys... i am in the process of installing hardspl on my phone...do i need to flash a new radio aswell????...i currently have
Rom version 3.14.206.1
Radio version 2.15.50.14
spl-3.03.0000
also when i install hard spl do i need to uninstall the current spl or does it get overwritten?????
no. run hspl4, choose 2,08,hspl, all ready for droid. (unless u are wanting to run sd card android, in which case you dont need hspl, only for changing the winmo rom, radio is still fine)
Hi...yes i am wanting to run android from sd card...you said in that case i wont need hard spl??...I am still unable to boot android from sd card... i thought i HAD to have hard spl??
i installed a rom called mccm hd v6..after selecting clrad and hacket i get a white splash screen with green htc logo...nothings happening after that...i also have the latest windows rom aswell...my spl is 3.003...please help guys!!!
no, only for nand android. sd android is running on top of winmo, so doesnt care about the spl.
However, ive never run sd android, im just telling you what i 'think' to be true, it wont hurt to try 2.08.hspl, BUT, since you have a regular hd2, (3.14.206.1 is o2, i think?) then setting 2.08.hspl will cause the 3.14 winmo rom to stop working properly, become unstable and report only 50 or so meg free ram, , , so if you DO want to try setting hspl, you will need to change winmo roms too. (Another reason i believe you can run sd android without 2.08.hspl is because i know people run it alongside 3.14 roms which require 3.03 spl's )
If i were you, id consider looking into the problem android is throwing, , some take aaaaaaaages first boot, for instance, when they build teh data file, and i do mean aaaaages, tens of minutes for some roms,
ok...so how come i am unable to boot to the new android rom?...i did manage to install gingerbread by tytung a couple of weeks ago...was having problems with that...after i uninstalled it i can no longer re-install it!!!!...i have done 2 fresh installs but its not booting it up anymore...strange...
dunno, sorry, i never got sd android to boot either, tried on maybe a dozen different occasions, a few hours each time,, and only got it to work once, and it caused me to hard reset next time i booted, cos winmo wouldnt boot, so i left it alone till nand came along. (And at that time i would have been running 2.08.hspl too,,, so it wasnt that)
perhaps you have a leftover data folder or summin, from the old instal on your sd card? i know on nand builds if you dont clear out the data from the old one it can cause failed boots.
i have formatted the sd card a good few times!...dont know what it could be then....
