[Q] cant seem to flash new radio

Hi guys.
I have been searching and searching with no luck.
I am using a hd2 dual booting between wp7 and android.
Android is giving me hassles - sound ( robotic ), phone etc. So I want to change the radio. I am using magldr 1.13.
When I put the phone into bootloader ( vol down - power key ) and go through the RUU until when it says, ...................0%. It just hangs there.
Please help or any suggestions.
Thanks

Try another USB port, maybe the drivers for the port you are using are not correct or have been corrupted. If you still get the same results try another computer. If neither of those two this.vs work try a different USB cable. Your problem has to be one of these as you have all the required elements such as HSPL and working bootloader on your HD2.

Hi thanks for responding.
I have tried two computors , two diff. USB cables.Diff. ports with no luck.
The wp7 rom works perfectly but not the android rom. Could this just be a buggy android rom.But bootloader should be fine anyways.

Well it is not so much a buggy Andriod build. The robot voice thing is a common problem with Sd card Andriod builds. Flashing to a different radio does find this problem a good bit and aloto sometimes if you get some one to call you and you answer and then emidiatly hang up it will fix the problem until you turn turn the Pbone off and then reboot Andriod.
As far as your problem with not being able to flash a different radio. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 make sure the radio version has a 50 in the same spot as this one 2.15.50.14. this means the radio is compatible with the TMOUS HD2. Do not use any radio version with these numbers in them 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx or any 2.xx.51.xx for any of these will brick a TMOUS HD2.
Also if you have tried different ports, computers, and USB cables I sugest you either redownload the radio version you are trying to flash as it might be a bad download or just find another radio version to try or maybe even a different place to download the radio version you are trying to flash. Make sure you manualy put hour Pbone in bootloader and when you plug the USB cable in make sure it says USB in the white bar at tbe bottom of the screen of bootloader. Bootloader will time out for mutie reasons and will not allow a flash until you turn it off and put it in bootloader again.
Sorry about the long period between post I was on my way to work this morning when I posted, just got off work not to long ago.

or copy the radios .nbh file to the sdcars, rename it leoimg.nbh go into the bootloader and it should see the leoimg.nbh and flash it
make sure its a compatible radio

Error 266: Unable to flash radio or ROM

Hello,
When I try to flash my radio or ROM I am getting this error:
[ERROR 266]: UPDATE ERROR
The Update Utility cannot get response from your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone. And also check your PDA Phone.

I attached a capture to this post.
Here are the details about my actual device:
LEO512 - Orange France
Radio 2.06.51.07
ROM 1.66.406.1 FRE
HSPL3 2.08.HSPL
I actually tried to flash to official ROM WWE 3.14.405.2 and radio 2.15.50.14 but none of them worked out, both failing with the described error. I tried to flash through ActiveSync and through the bootloader. I also tried to remove SD in both situation and I actually do not have SIM card in the phone.
When comes to change the SPL I do not have any problem and can switch smoothly.

When you use ActiveSync is your computer able to connect to youf HD2? If not then try a different USB port as the one you are using must not have the proper drivers for yoir HD2 installed. You can also try another computer and another USB cable.

Thanks.
Changing of USB port definitely solved the problem.

tried every thing erro 264, 266 for me
mine is still stuck i tried all of them
I have madldr 1.11 i just want to upgrade to 1.13 but no upgrade work for me

You can flash MAGLDR via your SD card just like you can a ROM or radio. Just copy the MAGLDR.nbh file in the MAGLDR folder you get when you exstract the zip file you download to the root of your SD card.. Then change the name of the coppied file to leoimg.nbh. Next as you turn your HD2 on hold down the volume down button. You will see the multicolor bootloader screen come up as soon as you see the word "Searching" on the screen let go of the volume down button and follow any on screen instructions. This will flash MAGLDR 1.13 to your HD2.

Just wanted to add that I was having this problem on Win7 64bit, initially windows update tried to grab drivers. It installed something unnamed but still wouldn't run the ROM update. I switched USB ports as suggested above and then Windows Update found a Qualcomm CDMA driver and installed that. This it seems did the trick as I'm now updating.

Greetings to all.
this problem has happened to me too. site (windows) to control said activesync. Then I did it to me ...... I realized that there were some driver conflict of some programs cooking ..... Removed from (windows7) now works perfectly. Thus check the newly installed programs.

need to restore to original OS

have android 4.0 on HD2 and it sucks bad..
how do I restore back to original OS windows 6.5

1. Download any WM 6.5 ROM for your phone you like,
2. power off your phone,
3. power it on while holding vol-down button (you should see 4-colour "matress"),
4. connect hd2 with usb cable to your desktop PC, run WM6.5 flasher.
5. Done... ))

i do that but the flasher says this after it recognize the phone and start flashing it stops and says this error{226} the update utility cannot get response from your PDA phone. please check that your ubs craddle/cable is connected properly between the pc and your pda phone and also check your pda phone.

I flash my hd2 using energy rom dinik. with radio 2.12.50.02_2.
So far I have not encountered any bug like freezing of lcd.
Thanks NRGZ28 for the rom and PG101 for the detailed instructions to install custom rom to my phone.

Yeh I would recomend NRG wm6.5 roms too, best wm6.5.3 experience available & it works perfect.
Try flashing via sd & check you current HSPL & radio are suitable too ...

yeah im actually trying to flash a wm6 from NGR but then again this phone have nand android installed and when i try to flash the wm6 ruu the flasher stops at 0% and says that the phone its not connected, after it showed it did before i pressed next, do i need any kind of drivers?
i have ht drivers from my sensation are they the same? i am a total noob for this phone and i dont like the ics thats why i wanna go stock while i learn little by little how to do things with it.

Flash via SD card method is probably way to go but take care with radio versions if a TMOUS HD2 or you will brick it.
You could install ActiveSync if XP or WMDC6.1 for Vista/W7 as it has drivers.

you can do a factory reset which should fix the problem

[Q] What i can do please?

Hi everyone! At first sorry because my english is not better than my french
My problem: I have an HTC hd2 with a white screen and the SPL 1.42.0000 (i can go to bootloader). I google it and can't find any solution, i tried to instal HSPL (with hspl2/3/4) without success (usb fail connection) i have the same error with an task29, and an hd2toolkit. I tried to instal from sdcard but i have the error "radio v2 fail".
I think this is a problem at height of XDA developers ^^
PS:I tried to change Computer or usb port and execute as administrator but nothing...
If you coul help me it will be realy nice.

is the phone recognized in device manager? If not its a driver problem.
also do the usual ( verify its not the usb cable, try different usb port,) if drivers are ok

thank you for your help
The computer recognize the device but without OS (white screen) i can't do anythings with Activesync, i tried other computers and other usb port/cable but nothing. I think isn't a driver's problem because the instalation with sd card don't work.

Don't understand what you mean by "white screen"?
Try installing a stock winmo for you device to make sure everything is ok...

i tried to instal an official htc rom from sd card but it doesn't work, by "white screen" i just wanted to say that when i turn on my phone the screen is white.

It sounds like you have done a Task 29 and you do not have a ROM on your HD2 right now. This is why you just boot to the white screen.
You do npot have to use Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center to flash via RUU. You just have to have them installed because the haqve the USB drivers for the HD2's WINCE Bootloader in the programs and they install the drivers when you install the program.
The drivers in Active Sync and WMDC allow you to have a HTC Sync connection in the bootloader. Just boot into the bootloader by holding down the volume down button while powering on yuour HD2. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable. Wait and watch for the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader to change to USB. When you see USB you can run a RUU.
Now to address your 1.42.0000 SPL, this is a older SPL version and you may have to keep trying different RUUs until you get one that will flash. Just make sure if you have a T-Mobile HD2 that you do not flash any radio version below 2.08.50.?? or any radio version that has a 51 in the radio where the 50 is in the first radio I mentioned, or you will brick your T-Mobile HD2. Look for the radio version in the RUU name it will be there.
Sometimes the HD2 develops what is referred to as a "stuck radio" when they have these early SPL versions like yours. This is why I say you may just have to keep trying different RUUs until you find one that will flash.

[Q] Tmous or Eu? need help

Dear Dev's / members
I have problem with this HD2 and cannot find a solution yet!
first thing first. is this a Tmobile of Eu mobile?
i tried flashing factory RUU but after 1% it gives an error saying Radio failed.
tried flash quite a few radio's but still after 100% it says radio fail.
tried flashing from USB cable
tried flashing from SD with leoimg.nbh
no luck.
the guy was using android on it until yesterday. may be he tried to flash a wrong Rom which brick the phone. now only white screen appears.
i can go to bootloader mode but no luck in flashing any thing at all.

Looks like EU model as no logo near earpiece.
if also has white markings on call & end key that would help confirm EU.
If trying to install .nbh file from SD it will overwrite HSPL so check current SPL status in bootloader.
If still on HSPL 2.08 try flashing an NRG WM6.5 ROM & see what happens (they have no radio so if completes then try radio flash if needed, try via USB them SD if USB fails.
Do you get an error code when it fails via RUU ?

thanks for helping mr. B
the error i get is (270) and yes it have white markings on all the buttons. so its confirm EU model. by NRG rom you mean Energy Roms? i tried earlier the energy Rom but no luck. after 1% it gives error.
cannot try mtty method as i'm on windows 7 and in windows 7, it's not showing the USB port. it's radio is corrupted. i think someone must have flashed a wrong Rom.

What standard ROM have you got ? if it a 3.14 rom try connecting HD2 via USB & use HSPL4 toolkit to install HSPL 3.03 & if that installs then try the 3.14 ROM via USB & RUU.
Also eliminate simple issues such as lead & USB port by switching port & using a different USB lead.
Windows 7 64bit ? worth trying another PC & 32bit if can as WMDC drivers on 64bit can be a pain for flashing ...

windows 7 32bit. tried flashing hspl 4 and it says complete but in bootloader it shows 2.08 only. i guess gold card method will solve the problem but it's too complicated. any other suggestions?

i would search for task29 and format the phone back to virgin default then download a windows rom from htc via the downloads page on there website for the phone ,then if it works re task29 it then put android on it with the htc hd2 tool kit witch has every thing other than rom (all u need to do is task29 it then go back to the boot loader and run the ruu rom)

No do not run a Task 29 the device. I say this for two reasons, one if you flash the Stock Windows Mobile ROM via RUU the RUU will run a Task 28 before installing the ROM witch is pretty much the same as a Task 29. The second reason is that if you run a Task 29 it will remove the current ROM on the device so it will not have a working ROM anymore. If after the Task 29 you can not get another ROM installed on it the you will not be able to use the device at all anymore.

why not he thinks its bricked so there is no difference if he cant get a rom on it

No the device is not bricked, a bricked device will not even turn on at all, no vibrations no nothing.
At jacktackle, try to find the earliest stock Rom RUU for your HD2 and try to flash it. It is possible you have what is reffered to as a stuck radio.The only fixI have seen for this is to flash a older ROM version with a older SPL version. If the earliest ROM version does not work start working your way up one version at a time and you might get lucky and get one that will flash.

thanks for all the help guys. but nothing worked. tried flashed old ruu's but reboots at 1% this radio is screwed up. hspl 2.08 is not upgrading nor downgrading. sd card update not working. i guess thats it. will give it back to him so that he can showcase it
first time ever i'm un successful. bad luck! may this LEO rest in peace. 'amen'

Before you give it back you can find some of the old test ROMs for the EU or for the TMOUS depending on which version of the HD2 it is. Just make sure if it is a TMOUS that you do not flash a rom version that has a 51 radio with it. Just look at the RUU name and the radio version is in the name. If that does not work then the only fix will be to replace the mainboard cause JTAG would not fix the problem.
