[Q] How to get back to stock? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

How do I revert a T-Mobile US HD2 back to stock as if it were out of the box? I used this method. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894423 )
I have looked through thread upon thread and cant find detailed instructions. Please if someone could help me it would be much appreciated.

power off
press hold and keep holding vol down
tap power
keep holding vol down till bootloader appears (three colour screen)
connect to usb
connect to pc
when serial changes to usb
run hspl3
choose 2.08.0000
when phone restarts immediately hold vol down
phone will re enter bootloader
spl should now read 2.08.0000
connect to usb
connect to pc
when serial changes to usb
run any t mobile stock rom (2.10 2.13 3.14).exe

Thank you for not being a **** or making snide remarks.

imate SP3 with SPL 2.5.0102, please HELP!!

I have imate SP3 with SPL 2.5.0102, i tried to downgrade the SPL to 1.x with TyphoonNbfTools's "Emergency Flash" but it didnt help, the process went successful during the installation but when the phone reboots into tri-colored screen, the same SPL version it displays.
I need UI mode to upgrade to WM5 and without the downgrading SPL to 1.x, I cannot achieve UI mode.
Please help!!!
from what i've read on entering UI mode from many different sources on this forum.. (read all steps first before trying)
1. starting with phone OFF and USB DISCONNECTED.
2. while holding the camera button connect the USB cable. continue to hold camera button until screen shows a prompt.
3. Prompt will ask if you want to enter UI mode, quickly press 0. If you see XIP mode but not UI mode then repeat steps 1-3.
hope that helps

[Q] Have I bricked my HD2?

I was trying to follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
I got as far as installing MAGLDR. When the phone restarted itself, it will not go passed the O2 welcome screen.
A hard reset (VolUp + VolDown + power) doesn't work.
If I hold vol down while I power it up it goes to the Red,Green,Blue,White screen where it says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Can someone please advise me what, if anything I can do to get my phone working again?
Thanks.
no u are not bricked just reflash magdlr when its in the tri color screen vol down + power next time post in questions forums
Turn off phone by taking out battery and put it in
Then hold down vol down and then press off/end call button
should take you to coloured screen then connect to computer and it should say usb at bottom
then download the htc hd2 software off the htc site then flash the original software and should be back to normal
every nand build i test i do the following...
1. task 29
1b. flash radio
2. magldr
3. nand build
Are you holding end button while booting? that'll take you to magldr menu.
if it doesn't, then don't fear yet, cuz it's not bricked. Bircked is when you can't even turn it on, or it doesn't boot, or something like that. You can't even enter the rainbow screen when it's bricked.

It's cool that you're trying to help but this is how people brick their phones. It's obvious, from him posting on here, that he's panicking. He'll go to htc site and just download any official rom and if he has a tmousa hd2 he's bricked it now. Not saying he does but you have to be specific with people around here. You'd be surprise how many complete newbs are on here who Just refuse to bother searching and reading

listen just download a official rom from hd rom development
and then extract the file with 7z or winrar
you will see a nbh file
change it to as follows leoimg.nbh
place it on any empty micro sd card and insert it into the phone
and then restart with holding vol down
after the tricolor screen you will see a grey screen with options for updating your rom
just follow the instructions and you will install a new wm6 rom
after that follow the video and the instructions for the noobs on the hd2 nand rom development section ,download the video and follow it as it says you will be fine.
i have been through this and this is what i did and i am with gauners hd nand version on my hd2 running perfectly

There are a few methods to fix your problem actually,
Restore back to Factory Default with Official HTC firmware
Download Official HTC HD2 O2 firmware
Extract RUU_signed.nbh from the EXE file using 7-zip
Rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and copy to the root directory of SD Card that is formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 and insert it into device
Power off your device
Hold onto the Volume Down Button and Power up the device
The bootloader will auto detect the leoimg.nbh file, and will start restoring back to default. This will restore your SPL, RADIO and FIRMWARE.
RED/GREEN/BLUE method
Power down the device
Hold Volume Down button and Power up the device
You will then see the RED/GREEN/BLUE screen
Connect the device via USB to your Computer
Wait for RED/GREEN/BLUE screen to show USB on the bottom instead of SERIAL
Run RADIO Upgrade (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 2.10.50 and ABOVE)
I am GUESSING, your RADIO version is incorrect, causing it to loop.
You must use HSPL 2.08
You must use RADIO version that supports 576mb of RAM
Radio Thread
Incidentally, you can also reflash the firmware to any WINMO custom or official firmware while in RED/GREEN/BLUE screen as long as the bottom says USB and the device is really connected to the computer via USB. It might overwrite MAGLDR, and it might boot back into the official or custom firmware.
xcesivemastub8ah, both method works, again, help is "FREELY" provided to people who are willing to take the advise. People need to understand, if they tinker with something, they can and will tinker it to death. If you don't want to brick it, don't mess with it, use it as intended by the manufacturers, stock original.
No bootloader !!!!

I tried these two methods.
And what can i do if i can't enter in bootloader mode : it only reboot on bios (i think it is) and magldr.
I can't have a hard reset neither.
Radio : 2.15.5014
Hspl : 2.08
Fixed. Thanks for the help
Thank you all very much for the help and advice.
I did what was suggested and plugged it in while on tri colour screen, flashed the rom and phone is perfect again.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Next time I'll post in the questions section.

Do you have 2.08HSPL on your phone?
Hold the volume key down while you turn on your phone, then you will see the tri-color screen. and the hardspl you have.
I suggest you follow this
Make your you have flashed HSPL 2.08.
it can be found easily using search option
after that boot it to tri-color screen.
( hold volume down key and boot your phone)
Sync your phone with pc using active sync
then down there on your phone screen will say USB
now find
"Task29 provided by doloop"
in the forum.
use that to flash everything from your phone.
after that it will automatically boot into white htc logo screen and not proceed
(due to there's nothing remaining.) just ignore it and
reset your phone while pressing volume down key to enter tri-color screen
now flash mgldr.
after that your phone will boot into mgldr
then follow the instructions on forum about nand builds
PS/If you are using XP you have to make your when usb flasher
it says wait usb...usb(connect via active sync) then uncheck "the allow usb connection" on active syncs connection settings. then proceed will rom installers
hope this will help.

YOU DON'T NEED SUCH BIG FONTS
This is what you need to do:
Unplug battery to turn device off
Put battery back in to device
Hold the Volume down button, do not let go
Press and release the power button to turn on the device
when you see the RED/GREEN/BLUE screen, plug in your USB cable to phone and computer

When done, the phone will Reboot, when screen turns off, press and hold the Volume Down button, if you don't, you will have to remove battery, put it back, hold the volume button, then turn on the device again.
when you see the RED/GREEN/BLUE screen again, make sure USB cable is connected to phone and computer install RADIO 2.15.50.14

It's a simple process. If you are getting stuck at white screen the chances are you are not doing one of the first 2 steps as below.
FIRST: You have to install 2.08.HSPL (no other HSPL version and not an spl ending in .0000). Check in bootloader that you have 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000.
SECOND: You have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio (it has to be a .50 radio and not a .51 radio). Use 2.08.50.xx or higher .50 radio.
THIRD: Install magldr from bootloader by running the romupdateutility file.
I know. Please Believe I have 2.08.HSPL and 2.15.50.15 Radio installed several times without errors but same result.
Could be a HW problem? any other solution?

same problem doesnt work

[Q] Cannot start bootloader, HD2 stuck on HTC logo screen

WM6.5 on my HD2 (from T-Mobile europe) has finally bothered me enough to decide to change the rom entirely, to android (NAND). I saw the instructions/video tutorial by techburrow (including the magldr v 1.11) and thought that it wouldn't give me too much troubles.
Before starting, I checked my ROM to see if it was recent enough. I as well installed hspl v 2.08 (as shown after taking battery out/in and using volume down + startbutton, in the rgbw screen).
After that I (think I) successfully installed MAGLDR v 1.11. It showed the comment that my phone was now "hacked".
I then went on to the most important step in the process, actually loading android. In the instructions for DFT_Android is states that:
" For installation you need enter MAGLDR (hold power button during boot)"
I tried getting into bootloader by holding the power button, I tried pressing it once and then holding it. Neither worked, both ended up with the HTC logo screen.
All I can do now is choose between getting the HTC logo and the rgbw screen showing hspl 2.08.
Hard reset also doesn't work, probably because MAGLDR deleted the original rom. Connecting through USB via the rgbw screen doesnt work, the connection is not recognised.
Other thread look similar problem, but haven't helped so far. Only the most recent are about others trying to get the android on NAND with MAGLDR 1.11 and DFT-Android.
HELP? Anybody has any idea on how I can install android any ROM now, how to get into the bootloader, how to use my HD2 again?
Looks like Magldr was not flash into the phone. Reflash magldr.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
unfortunately
Thx for the suggestion, xhanay. However, reflashing MAGLDR requires an activesync connection and/or USB connection via HSPL (only way my phone does anything). Cannot get any connection unfortunately. So no reflashing.
Any other suggestions? (reflashing via microSD?)
help!i have the really same problem!thx!
This is what I do:
1. Remove the battery, put it back
2. Hold VolDown key pressed while turn on the phone to enter Bootloader (tricolored screen)
3. Connect it to PC and wait for connection to change to USB
4. Flash radio 2.15.50.14
5. Hold VolDown key pressed after reboot to enter bootloader again.
6. Flash MAGLDR
7. Reboot
8. Hold Power button pressed > Select USB flasher ...
....and flash Android/Windows 7.
If USB connection is not recognized I suggest flashing a stock ROM using SD card.
See instructions here, chapter 3 - Flashing Via MicroSD Card
could just work
Thank you for the quick response. Hopefully I will make it all the way to step 8+ (with android and all apps coming along with it). Otherwise using the stock rom should help. Thx for the link.
Will let you know if it works.
Also post in the right section in the future
All worked. I had to reflash a custom ROM through the rgbw screen (apparently a custom ROM did synchronise via USB even though activesync didnt show anything). Then I reinstalled MAGLDR (which immediately sent me through to the bootlader screen). After I had some issues loading android (had to tag USB on in Activesync connection settings, make the connection, the tag USB off in the connection settings)... Now Android is running as I hoped it would. Great work and thanx to all that helped.
ps: Will try to use the right section next time. No promises that it will then be the right one however.
I have the same problem and tried this only to be sent back into magdlr where it just scrolls up and down with the volume key held down.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

[Q] Please help - going back to stock ROM

Hi All,
I have been running a few NAND Android ROMS but seem to have an issue where pushing the power button on the HD2 no longer locks the phone, it just brings up the Power Off / Airplane mode options etc.
I think the button is damaged and sticking so wanted to go back to stock WinMo ROM to test this and if necisary send back for repair.
I have downloaded the stock O2 ROM from HTC.com but cant work out how to load this ROM. I presume I need to boot to HSPL?? only thing is I cant boot to it, I just get the MAGLDR screen.
Not sure if I'm doing something blatantly stupid or even if the button is not actually broken, although it does exactly the same in all Android builds I have tried. Is there a softkey that can be set to lock the screen?
Any adive much appreciated.
Thanks
Denno
Phone off
hold vol down
tap and release power
keep holding vol down till coloured screen apears
plug in usb, wait for serial to chnge to usb, run the flash.
If you have the 3.14 stock you also need to run hspl4 and choose 3.03.0000
Or
flash from sd card (look it up) will do both the flash and set 3.03.0000 all in one go.
