Have you hardSPL'd your phone before?
If not you will have to flash a generic rom via microSD method (or put your phone into boot loader mode and connect via usb) and then hard spl your phone.
If you have already hardSPL'd your phone, reflash the rom using microSD method.
EDIT: from http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=xperia_guide_roms
Recovering from a bad flash
If you have forgotten to hardspl your x1 before flashing a rom or are getting an error when attempting to flash a rom (260-262) and can not get your x1 to boot then this might help:
1. Take the MicroSD card out of your phone and put it in to a MicroSD to SD card converter and insert it to your card reader.
2. Format the MicroSD card in to FAT32 format.
3. Download this ROM
4. Extract the .ZIP file and rename the .NBH file to 'kovsimg.nbh'
4. Copy this file to the freshly formatted MicroSD card (VISTA OR XP THIS DOESNT MATTER FOR THIS)
5. Take the memory card out of your PC/Laptop and place it back in to your Xperia
6. Remove the battery and replace it after 5 seconds. (dont replace the back cover)
7. The press the Volume Down key located on the right hand side of the phone and the power key keep them both pressed and then with the stylus press and hold down the reset button for three seconds.
8. You will then be presented with a Tri-Colour screen to begin with then the bootloader will load the kovsimg.nbh file.
9. Once loaded follow the on-screen instructions and your done, be patient the process does take a while about 10mins in total, BUT DO ENSURE YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE ON CHARGE, you dont want the power to die on you half way through, it would just be a waste of time.
N.B. HARD-SPL WILL ONLY LOAD ONCE YOU HAVE A WORKING IMAGE ON THE PHONE!!!! FROM THE SPL 0.72.0000 version.

awww man, x1fan, YOU'RE the one who "broke" it?!
let me know of the instructions above helped you out...

Cheers for all your help with this guys, all it needed in the end was a hard reset and some time to warm up i think, all is good as gold now..apart from the fact that it goes to xpanel screen prior to loading the home screen but the procedure above worked a treat so thank you all....YET AGAIN lol

Stange Flash Bug

Since my device is back from Acer support im not able to Flash Customs roms anymore except Brainmasters cleanrom 1.0
Arto's or other ROMs update successfully but if you try to turn on the smartphone it just vibrates screen goes on and off.... then if u remove the battery, put it back in turn it on again, the smartphone is stuck at Acer bootscreen. luckily im able to set it into bootmode. i can repeat the flash as often as i want, only brainmasters cleanrom will work, 1.3 wont 0.o
What can this be ?

ello!
I think it might be because of you corrupted memory card i had an incident like this before but after formating my mem. card it worked fine

well the memory card wasnt inserted during flash process nor was it when i tried to boot the phone

[Q] stuck on NRG boot screen and cycling

stock tmous hd2
flashed .12 radio rom
formatted sd card
installed energy 21683 sense 2.5 cookie (not the 2.0 version)
ran fine.
copied mdeejay v2.3 evosense revolution as follows to root on SD card
- android\(lots of files
- data_512\img
- data_1024\img
inserted sd card, powered up, file commander, ran clrcad.exe, then haret.exe
got to htc boot screen. took what felt like longer than it should. pulled the battery (doh!)
reinserted battery and phone was unresponsive.
tried to do hard reset, nothing
plug in usb cable and now phone boots to NRG boot screen shows R,G,D text at bottom, shuts down and then restarts the cycle. It never moves past boot screen and keeps cycling.
W/ usb cable plugged in I was able to do hard reset. didn't help.
W/ usb cable plugged in I was able to get to boot loader screen, ran NRG installer.exe and reinstalled NRG. (installer seemed to think everything went fine) still didn't help.
So my phone is now stuck, won't power on w/o usb cable and when I plug in usb cable, it cycles between boot screen and off.
help. tia

Have you tried taking out your SD-card, then doing a hard reset?
Have you tried backing up the things you created (don't worry about things that other programs like Android created) on your SD-card, then reformatting it? Then restoring the stuff you backed up, and re-doing the Android install?

thanks for response.
hard reset w/ sd card in and out. no difference.
formatted sd card.
can reinstall android files on it but seems pointless since i can't get to winmo to run them. can't get past winmo boot screen.
thinking i should try going to bootloader screen then reflash stock tmous rom? if that works can always come back the other way? thoughts?

You could run a Task29 -- a utility that clears your ROM and flashes a "blank" ROM. This is one of the remedies for unusual behavior. After Task29, reflash your custom ROM.
Otherwise, yes, you could try reflashing a stock ROM. If that still fails, then I would call this a brick/"hardware issue".
Good luck!

yep. it's bricked. unless anyone else has better idea.
task29 back to NRG didn't work
flash to stock rom downloaded from Tmo website didn't work either. (now it dies at the tmo pink stick together screen just after showing the R,G,B text. and begins the cycle.)
this is so sad. I need to figure out what i did otherwise not likely to pick up another hd2. figured it was cheaper way to get decent hardware (save 100$ or more right now on craigslist over galaxyS.) and have option to play w/ winphone7.
does android normally take a long time to boot on first try? if i wasn't after the apps and google integration, i might have been happy w/ nrg rom. it looked sharp and seemed to run quick for the little time i played w/ it.
sucks i gave my wife my galaxy s (w/o a dataplan on her line) so she could have nice phone for texting/pics/vid/facebook etc while at home through wifi. now i've got to renig on that gift or get her to trust me w/ another phone!!!
just sucks all the way around. darnit!

Here's another idea (this actually happened to someone before):
Look at the battery contacts (the pins) shooting out of the phone when the battery is not inserted. Are they bent in any way? If they are, bend them gently back into place so that they are completely straight. The pins are delicate, and since you took off your battery, there's a possibility you accidentally bent them. This would lead to random shut-downs/resets.
It might be crazy enough to be the problem you have...
But you know, you could get the HD2 replaced for free, as long as you are under T-Mo's 1-yr warranty -- claim a hardware defect that couldn't be solved by the upgrade ROM. At least it's free!

Hallellujah!!! Stupid pins on the battery!!!!! THIS SHOULD BE a footnote for the newbies in the flashing sticky!
Thanks for the awesome advice!!!! I'm so glad that was the problem.

hi MATE,
The main problem is in Android folder
i'd suggest you to get the Build that asks you to copy n paste all files of Android folder to ur SD Root, that way u'll have all files on ur sd card.
2nd now wen ever you want to boot ur android of WWE all you got to do is DELETE ANDROID folder thats located on ur SD card, I had same issue as you because i test roms and i love messing with them.
3rd: You dont need to hard reset or soft reset if you needed to reboot ur Android (once its running) all you need is hold Power off button u'll get the reboot option as u select the reboot it will show you few rebot options there you gotta choose HOT Reboot that will restart the ANDROID only and that way you u can save ur self from going thur long painful process and yet stay in android os.
PS: i am currently testing the build that asks where i have all file inside ANDROID files and image @ my SD Root, i have same issue with this one but lets see if we could figure out the real culprit.
Hope this help, Feel free to share your experiences

The OP's problem was that he took out his battery while Android was loading, and when he put back the battery, his phone could not boot into WM.
I guess my last thought was correct -- the battery pins were accidentally bent while the OP took out the battery.

HTC HD2 Problems TMobile

I've currently installed the latest HSPL (2.08.HSPL) and it haven't fixed my issues.
Most of the time, my phone shuts down and powers up and it freezes or it vibrates 3 times and freezes. Some times it will turn on and freeze and infinite vibrating. Some times when I'm using Opera, it will just shutdown and freeze on boot.
It have to be the OS, but I just installed GingerBread 2.3.2_V7 but it still freezes and crashes.
Any help?
Thank you.

Try reinstall HSPL 2.08
Do it through bootloader mode/tri color screen remember
Then perform a task 29
Reinstall a radio for your TMOUS HD2, that is compatible with MAGLDR or HSPL.
Then install winmo or MAGLDR. Through tri color screen also.
Or it might be your sd card, Iunno, i've been reading some sd cards freeze the device. So you might as well format your sd card with panasonic formatter. Full format btw.

I think you downloaded and copied a sd Card build to your phone. If it was a NAND ROM you would not have thois problem, plus I just did a search on GingerBread 2.3.2_V7 in the Andriod section for the HD2 and it only pulled up a biuld called "PPC-SHIFTPDA GingerBread 2.3.2 V7 & Desire HD Sense Glass V2", and this is a sd card build. looks like a very nice one too. Click on the link to comfirm that this is correct ass it should take you to the thread on that build.
You can do two things, either try uninstalling the last couple of apps you have resently installed most recent to least recent.This might solve your problem as it might be an app causing the issue.
The other is to do a Hard Reset of your HD2. Now make sure to move anything you want to save like pictures, videos, documents, etc. to your sd card or back them up on a computer first. also use Mycrosoft My Phone or a comprabale app to back up your contacts, favorites, text messages, ect. Cause this will revert your HD2 to like it was fresh brand new fresh out the box. Any way my sugestion to you is to do a Hard Reset of your HD2. tTo do this cut your HD2 off. then hold down the volume up and down buttons and the power button at the same time until you see the tri color screen. once it comes upo press the volume up button and the your HD2 will reset to factory setting.
Now after you do the reset don't just try to reload all of your apps at once.I suggest you do a soft reset(turn phone off for 20 secounds and turn back on) after ever app you reinstall. Reinstalling all your apps at once can cause your HD2 to freeze up on the first reboot of the phone because it is overloaded with the task of making all the needed changes at once using up all of it's CPU resources.This sould resolve your issue.

I did a task 29 and installed WinMo
I still get the 7 vibrate thing on boot. I've found that it only does this when the phone is hot. Is this an error found in every HTC HD2 TMOUS model or is it just me?
Thank you

[Q] microSD damage

I have big problem. Yesterday I bought the 32 gb sandisc microsd card(class 4) and I installed windows phone 7(blackSideSeven v1.13.7401), everything was fine, except marketplace(doesn't work). Today I have decided to install diffrent ROM, I choosed Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready]. Rom was installed properly. I added my windows live and gmail accounts, changed data and time, I restarted phone. After that phone didn't work. System was loading, it stopped on "enter pin code" screen. It didn't respond to touch ;/ When i removed sd card touch screen was working, but i got alert "storage card not working" and I coudn't do anything(only emergency call). I installed clean wp7 DFT rom, but I had that same problem. I try to plug scdard to the computer, but it's not detectable ;/ None of the partition, nothing! Is card broken?

- To check the hardware side, take "h2testw". The card should be empty, so the tool could test the complete size.
The background is, that some large cards (16gb, 32gb,...) are fakes. simply wrong labeled.
- Have you take the right order. look: "-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date".
dn

I tried to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
It works until the reset after zune installed wp7 software update. I had screen when I have to enter a pin, but i couldn't do that. The touch screen didn't work. Even tried WP7 Update Cab Sender to upload DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.CAB, but it alse didn't work. System couldn't load. When I unplug the usb cable, phone didn't turn on.
My microsd works, but i have to format it(in nokia) evety time when i want to install rom.

Again, i try to install android, but i have that same problem. HD2 doesn't work without usb connection, I can't turn it on ;/ What i should do..?

Turn phone off. Hold down the volume down key and power at same time until you see a tri colored screen. Connect your usb cable and you will see "usb" in the white section at bottom of your phone screen. Run task29 (search forum) this will erase nand. From there you boot back into the bootloader (tri colored Screen) and you can install WM6.5 or just flash magldr and go with a android rom. Or try WP7 again if you really want to.
