HTC HD2 stuck on bootloader screen

Sorry for the double post but my other one is on page 94 of a different thread and probally wont get seen and i am now getting desperate,anyway
I have just followed the procedure as I was going to install a different ROM from ★ Miri & DINIK "Anastasia" ROM to replace my installed ROM from ENERGY
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. 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.
First I did a task 29 and now I am now stuck in the bootloader screen with its tri colour screen with USB in the white part,if I have the cable connected or Serial if the cable is removed.
I have tried a few times but it still stays on the boot screen.I am running windows 7 32 bit on my laptop and have tried all 3 different USB ports with the same result.
How do I get the phone back working?
Thanks

Your Phone is stuck in the bootscreen because you have removed the operating system with the task29. so this is normal.
make sure you have transferred the leoimg.nbh to the storage card and disconnect the phone from the cable. reboot the phone and flashing should start automatically. if it does not
now connect your phone to the computer and you will see the screen change from serial to usb
just follow the procedure as described in on the forum to flash from a computer. you do not need to be connected to activesync to do this as the phone is already in bootloader mode. just start the flashing program as described.

Thanks for that,I did realise thats the reason its stuck in the bootloader.I have connected the phone back to the computer a few times and waited untill the USB came onto the screen but the divice does not show up in "My Computer" and when I try to restore the ROM I get a 260 connection error.

I think I have just sorted the problem,not sure the reason but it was failing on a 16GB fat32 card. I have just borrowed a 2GB card from a friend put exactly the same image on and it is now updating the ROM.
Thats strange how the card has made that much of a difference,but thanks anyway.
I'll let you know how the update goes in a few minutes when it completes.
Thanks

many people have said the same thing. 16 doesn't work, 8 sometimes works, 2 usually works.

Up and running great now,,Looks like i'll have to invest in a small 2GB card as a back up,
Thanks again

Stuck also in bootloader

I flashed my HTC Leo to Dutty Multi-lang, when finished and reboot it won't and gets stuck in the "stick together" bootloader (yes, I am with TMOUS). I did what you suggested but it still won't boot, please help!

is the multi lang one the one with the base 3.04 rom? that 3.04 base isn't from tmous, have you confirmed it is tmous compatible? (i dont know enough about teh 3.04 rom)

It is 3.28.4.0

sorry, don't know what that means and i can't go hunting right now. it "sounds" like what happens when you flash a non tmous rom to a tmous, (unlike flashing the wrong radio, it doesn't brick the tmous, it just won't boot)
if i were in your shoes, id grab a known tmous compatible rom and flash that.

And how would you do that if the darn phone won't boot? I can copy a known ROM onto the card, but then how do I flash it from there? Thanks.

no need for sd card,,,boot into boot loader, connect usb, run your flash.

Problem resolved... not sure what caused it but I am a happy man now. This is what I did if this helps with people who might have the same problem.
1. Formated the SD card FAT32.
2. Copy and rename nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh to SD card.
3. Reset the phone while holding the down button. It jumps to bootloader.
4. Hook it with PC, USB is shown on the phone.
5. Download and extract SSPL_RUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh from Dutty Cream la de Cream ROM into the same folder.
6. Run SSPL_RUU and it came up and running again.
Thanks for your help though, made me feel hopeful because I was getting ready to dump the phone and run over it with my car

no worries, just for info, step two was not needed, it would have tried to flash leoimg at step three if you hadn't been using the stock gig sd card (the 16gb cards don't work, which is why the phone ignored it.)

[Q] A few questions and concerns on my HD2

I'm having trouble getting my computer (and other computers) to Sync with my HD2. I want to flash it to the 3.14 stock rom via SD card. It is currently running the 2.13 ver rom from 4/10. I'm also having some trouble with it randomly restarting and getting stuck at the "stick together" screen.
I've formatted my 2GB SD card and placed the 3.14.1 rom on it named as LEOIMG.nbh in the root directory. I tried to enter the boot loader and it went from the Tri-color screen to the "loading" grey screen with some red numbers above it and then went back ot the tri-color screen where the bottom white part said "Serial" and then the phone got stuck.
I'd like to try to re-flash the phone and see if this cures any problems I'm having with it.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

I had a similar occurence with the same rom. I just popped another rom on and it worked fine. I dont think that rom wants to work when booted straight from SD

did you try another card?

I don't exactly have another card to try it with. Don't exactly have an abundance of MicroSD cards. I've got the 16GB that came w/ the phone and the 2GB that's in my M3DS Real Card for my DS.
The red numbers before it goes back to the tri color screen are 0068002

be sure and do a full format, not quick format, fat32 (they often ship fat16) and make sure the block size is 4096 (4k)

I can't flash HSPL b/c I can't sync my phone to my computer. Is there any way to flash HSPL3 w/o syncing the phone?

no, you definitely didnt read that on here.
as for ''without syncing the phone', , , do you mean syncing as in actually connecting to activesync/WMDC? cos if so, forget that, when instruxctions say to get an activesync connection, its badly worded and realy means get a usb connection.
for best results with hspl, put the phone in bootloaer yourself, then connect usb, then run hspl.exe

I've tried putting the phone in bootloader. I must be doing it wrong or something...

Whenever I try to enter bootloader I hold the VolDown key and the End Call key until the phone says "Searching" it never does that. It goes to that grey "Loading..." screen and they goes back to the bootloader and says "SERIAL" at the bottom in the white area. *SiGH* I want my phone to work betterrr!

Dunno if this could work, but I guess the problem is that the bootloader is trying to flash the nbh file on the SD, try samsamuel's advice but first remove the SD card from the slot...

First off what model of HD2 do you have, is it the Eroupean or T-Mobile US model? What version of HSPL did you install? You need to install HSPL 2.08 to install MAGLD cause MAGLD does not support any higher version of HSPL. If you have installed HSPL 2.08 then it might .e best to just revert your HD2 back to stock and started all over again. To revert back to stock download the latest official update for you HD2. You will have to go to your Carriers website and find the latest update if the update is not on your carriers website then go to HTC.com and look for it there. Once you have downloaded the correct update ROM for your HD2 you can either try to flash it via your computer with your HD2 connected via USB cable or flash it via your SD card. To use your computer while your HD2 is off hold down the volume down button and the power(end button) until you see the tri color screen, this is the bootloader mode. Wait until the serial in the bottom white bar changes to USB and then run the .exe or RUU to flash the ROM. If you can not get the USB to show in the white bar at the bottom for some reason look in the folder created from unzipping/exstracting the zip file that the update comes in and look for something like "RUU_signed.nbh" it might not read exactly like that but it will end in "nbh". Copy this to the root of your SD card and rename it exactly like this "LEOIMG.nbh", this is the only file name the bootloader will except. You may also need to use a micro SD card reader to copy this to your SD card. when you have the file coppied and renamed on your SD card while your HD2 is off hold the volume button and the power(end button) down until you see the bootloader and as soon as it says searching on the screen let go of the volume down button and the ROM should flash this might take a little longer than flashing via your computer so don't freak out if the screen stays black for a while or if the progress bar hangs occassionaly during the flashing. Also if this does not work visit the thread on flashing via SD card cause there is other variables to flashing via SD card like size, class and the way your SD card is formatted. Here is a link to the thread Also after you have flashed the official update ROM you will no longer have HSPL so you will have to reflash it befor trying to teflash MAGLD.

If he has 2.08, their is no need to do it all over again.

Yesthey could try to reflash MAGLD by manualy putting the HD2 into bootloader. But from what thier post says.
I can't turn it on or off, I can't connect to PC I can't do nothing!!!!

So maybe reverting back to stock and starting all over again would be best.

Thank a lot! I try all of this but my phone stays with this colours and nothing is going on

I have a european model hd2 and the HSPL was 2

If your HD2 will still go to the bootloader than it should be savable. If you tried to flash via your SD card and nothing then either you did not release the volume down button fat enough when searching appeared on the phone screen. Or your SD card is either not compatible to use for flashing, it is not the right class of SD card to flash with, or your SD card is not formatted correctly. I suggest you go to the link I posted in my first post here and read through the thread it will tell you how to solve any of these problems and you can post there in that thread also some one there can probably give you more advice.
If you tried to flash via you computer and USB cable then you have to have it say USB in the bottom white bar of the bootloader, other wise it will not flash the ROM. Also you have to make sure you run the exe or RUU right to flash from your computer.
I hope you can get your HD2 working again. Oh yeah you never said what model HD2 you have.
Also what carrier are you with?

OMG I did it!! hehehe thanks again!! i connect phone via usb to my pc when I had this colours and then I instal again on phone ROM and it works!!!!!!!!!

Glad to know you got it fixed. Just be carful and follow all instructions exactly if you want to install a NAND Andriod ROM. And make sure to select HSPL 2.08 when you reflash HSPL to your HD2.

I will be installing android ones again tonight, fingers crossed this time will be ok, but first I need to find a rom oldest then 3.14

Problem loading Android SD

Hello,
I've tried 3 different android versions, including AmeriCan Android-CM7-17-08-2011, but i'm stuck on the logo screen (with the gray ameriCan logo or the HTC logo) after the kernel load. I've waited for 30 minutes, but no luck... I have all the reuqirements like the latest HD2 original rom, latest radio, HSPL all up to 3.03... I've formated the card, i've reinserted the battery several times, but cant make it run.
What is the problem?

do you write your steps exactly? for sd roms hspl is not necessary.

On the bootloader i have SPL-3.03.HSPL
On all the instructions i've read, they say i need HSPL... anyway, will it do any harm if i have it?

Moments ago i've tried SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5, but it keeps restarting my device after staying for 10 seconds on the android HTC logo...
My steps were
1. Update my original ROM to WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
2. Installed HSPL, tried several versions
After that i followed these instructions
Power off your phone.
Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
It will load into bootloader.
You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-3.03.
Take off the battery.
Power on your phone.
You should see R 2.15.50.14 and D 3.14.xx at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
Select ‘Disk Drive’ and click ‘Done’.
Open removable disk (SD card storage) at PC.
Open Android ROM zip with 7-Zip.
Copy ‘Android’ and ‘Media’ folders to SD card.
Disconnect USB cable from phone.
Open ‘File Explorer’.
Go to ‘Storage Card’.
Select ‘Android’ folder.
Click on ‘CLRCAD’ first. (note – nothing show up is normal)
Then click on ‘HARET’. (just click ‘Yes’ if unknown publisher warning prompt up)
First time Android loading will take around 1 – 2 minutes.
Follow phone onscreen instructions to setup.
That’s all.

I reflashed the ROM, but the HSPL was still 3.03.. no change. So i installed SPL 2.08 the same way I installed HSPL 3.03 - with HSPL4.exe and now its SPL 2.08. But still the Android is sitting on that boot screen!
Can it be something with the kernel?

what i do with sd roms:
1)download file and unrar
2)copy android folder to sd card (the folder as whole, not just contents)
3)in winmo go to android folder, click clrcad then haret.

I do exactly the same... Copy the Android folder to the SD card root/Android and star the 2 files, but i get the freeze screen...

can you format your sd with panasonic sd formatter and try again?

It should be FAT32 formated, not NTFS, right? And my card is 8GB if that counts...
Update:
S*IT IT WORKS! It was because of the windows formatter! I installed the Panasonic SD formatter and it worked! Thank you so much mutil!

[Q] HD2 not responding

Dear all,
Some time ago some guy came over to me to have his phone (HD2) reflashed. I installed the HardSPL, eMagldr 1.13 and the 400mb file-system as needed for the rafdroid version I installed. Everything worked out fine. But now he has manually flashed CWM without changing filesystem etcetera and took out SD card and formatted it. The phone did actually boot in CWM, and he sold it to me. Now I wanted to do a factory reset, but the phone wouldn't boot anymore, nothing. I tried flashing back stock ROM, but the phone will not be found. I cannot even reflash the 400mb filesystem, it says RSPL.cpp missing... I'm running out of ideas and I'm starting to panic a little. So here are my problems:
- Phone crashed when booted into AD RECOVERY;
- Phone does not start up in any way, when lucky stuck forever in CWM bootlogo (for over 60 minutes);
- When booting into bootloader (volume down + power), a text "loading" should appear, but it doesn't;
I have no clue what to do from here. I don have the T-Mobile version of the phone I do know that . But it seems not to respond to anything which sucks. But I do get into MAGLDR with the menu choices so the device can not be ****ed up too bad.
Please advise me on this

Only if you have a correctly named leoimg.nbh on the SD card, and the SD card is 4gb or smaller, please confirm?

RE
You're right about the logo i meant CM ( cyanogen ) sorry for that, and no my sd is 4Gb and I named the file LEOIMG.nbh with capitals so going to try that ou tomorrow, but it still doesnt explain why my computer did not find my device with RUU update.. :s
Thanks for your help though you gave me some ideas

Leoimg in capitals should be ok,, correctly extracted from a stock rom? (People still sometimes make the mistake of simply renaming the whole romname.zip file, without extracting the ruu_signed.nbh file first)

When you try to run the RUU, does it say USB in the white bar of bootloader? if not you have adriver issue and need to install Active Synce(Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center(Windows Vista and 7).

RE:
Yes it does say USB and I managed to do a vodafone update from the HTC site. Though I don't know if it was a vodafone branded device, but that shouldn't matter right?
Anyway, I'm stuck forever in the "HTC" screen in green letters. So this time I'm stuck way earlier. But I'm going to give it half an hour and see what happens. I had to run the update three times before it succeeded so I doubt it.
But another thing, now I ran the update MAGLDR will be restored in its factory form right? And recovery and **** has been removed so I could try to reinstall them and go on from there if the phone won't boot, right?

RE:
Now I can't even get into MAGLDR. The phone is stuck in the first bootscreen saying HTC for over 3 hours now, I turned off my phone and I'm running the update again now, getting errors again. What do you advise? I still got an 8GB sd cart in it but I read somewhere that is OK.

If you flashed a stock rom, magldr is gone, magldr is a hacked together bootloader from the dft hackers,,, there is no "factory form".
Most 8gb or larger cards wont flash nbh files, but some do,
If you downloaded the rom from HTC using your phones serial number, then yes, its voda branded.
I suspect some corruption, some variant of stuck radio, .
I'd start by trying to use hspl2.exe to set hspl 1.66.0000 then flash the stock rom from SD taking careful note of the blue writing during the flash,

As Samsamuel said if you flashed a stock ROM MAGLDR is gone4 and you will have to re install MAGLDR, You being stuck at the splash screen could be caused be the stock ROM you flashed not being the correct stock ROM cause if you flashed it via SD card you removed HSPL and there for if it is not the correct ROM it will not boot. Also if you flashed it via RUU and it is a older ROM version the HSPL 2.08 that you have might no be compatible with the ROM causing it to stick at the splash screen. Maybe this will help some.
