[Need Help]ROMs won't boot after initial setup

I hope someone here can help me to make my LEO work again.
Im having huge problems with my HD2 after flashing a ROM with Extendir. While setting up the device with Preset Installer my PDA went to deep sleep and failed installing all cabs.
After reboot it hung on the screen where Radio Version etc. is shown. That is why i made another Hard Reset. That let my phone boot again but after initial setup it hangs again at that place.
I tried another ROM and experienced the same problem. After that i went back to shiped with spl and radio. Not even that fixed the problem.
I tried MTTY with task 29 and reflash stock. It stays the same! After initial setup my phone sometimes hangs before or after boot animation. sometimes it boots till sense is started and hangs there.
Does anyone have a smart idea how i can make my leo run propper again?
Thanks for help.
edit: im not sure if its Extendir. It could be something else, too. I tried flashing via usb and storage card.

to specify that rom you used in this moment and to specify that RADIo is used

I used the Lost in Asia Regular Version V0.8 and Radio 2.08.50.05 and HSPL.
At the moment i have a lover Radio version.

to assess that rom V.0.8 it has rom 2.0x base
radio 2,08 to enable 576 MB
the rom that it uses, it could not be compatible with the version radius
try to chnge a version radio or try to change version rom
if you use radio 2.08 from rom 2.07,try to flash rom cooked with 576 Mb enable
sorry for my poor english,i'm Italian

Sorry mate
the problem is other
I have since the rom of bob qualified V.08 is for 576 mb

You tried booting up with the SD card taken out of the device?
WB

You need to have a radio that supports the 576 mb. But I don't think this is your problem. It sound like to me your storage card is the problem. If you have another storage card format it to FAT 32 and try again. I bet your problem is solved. Also Don't use a 16gb card until you know for sure it is working. Even then there are problem with some people using them.

I dont have a Storage Card inserted now. Still the same problem
Btw. Using Laurentius V1.2 now. Same error here. i try to flash a lower Radio now.
As i said before i flashed stock 1.66 via storage card with radio and spl and still had the same Problem.

have you try flash rom with activeSync???

Are you able to flash HSPL again? Can you confirm on the Tri Color screen it says HSPL 1.42?

Everything flashes as usual. HSPL, Radio and ROMs. The software just isnt running stable after flash.
If it would be a Radio/SPL/ROM problem the stock rom should fix it.

Not wanting to be the one to say it but maybe your device is defective or damaged. Or maybe the problem was caused ny the failure going to sleep, but I don't think so. I have accidentally unplugged mine before during flash and still got it back. If you reflash the ROM it should work again. If you don't have any luck I would flash back to the Stock ROM and take it in for repair.

To bad noone can help. I will do some research and if i have no success i will send it back.
Some weeks of waiting

Yes there have been many. There have been some in my threads. There is also a thread posted here with lots of discussions and it was determined the the lock ups and freezes with Manila 19222911 was the 16gb cards. It seems there was only one ROM that did not have the problem and unfortunately this cook doesn't share with others.

im making improvements. after flashing stock i found out that i can change more and more settings and install programs without the need to hard reset. when i damage the filesystem with a program or setting i hardreset the device. after restart i can install that program without problems and can try another one.
seems that my device is repairing magically

I think you didn't understand. after EACH program or setting i need to hardreset.
after hardreset i can install that program as usual as all programs i did that with before.
sseems that i 'gain' more and more storage back.

I guess I don't understand. You have to have a working ROM to install a program? For a stock ROM you should not have to install anything. It either works or it doesn't.

My HD2 is broken (?)

I have my Leo for 1 month. I flashed it (HSPL), installed cooked ROM and everything was fine. Than few days ago I installed new version of ROM and then the problems started...after every soft reset, ROM "restarted" (every tweak or installed program disappeared nad the phone looks like after installing new ROM) and after few resets it is stucked on the first screen (with numbers of radio etc.) and wont move further.
Can anyone help?

I know it's a pain, but have you tried a hard reset since this started? If not, give that a go. If you're still having problems then I'd recommend not using the ROM that you currently have.

have try flashing stock ROM from memory card? I guess it might work

Yes, I did hard reset and it didnt help. Ofc I will use another ROM, but problem is that I cant do anything atm...the phone is simply stucked on the first screen and I cant even sync it to install another ROM :-/

Wish I could, but all I can see is only white logging screen...phone doesnt react at all.

You can flash from the memory card without the need to start the device up and connect to a PC. That's what he's suggesting. I don't know how to do this myself, having only done it via ActiveSync, so I can't tell you how to do it. I do know that you put a ROM image in the root of your storage card and reboot the device, but there's more to it than that. Have a look in the ROM forum for more advice (unless someone can help you here, of course).

Will try it...as soon as I find the instruction

can you still get in to the bootloader, turn the phone on while holding volume down, get the 3 coloured screen, you can do the ROM and Radio from there

you dont have to have a booted phone to flash roms over usb. Just boot to bootloader and wait for the 'serial' to change to 'usb' then run your flash.

Worst HD2 expeience.

Very strange problem.not able to flash any radio of rom after flashing tmobile official RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_2_Ship rom.
every radio of rom upgrading process gets stuck at 0%.
Also my screen becomes dead freeze after the official rom boots up.

HSPL
Did you flash from your sd card or usb, because if its from sd card, hspl will be written over?
My guess is to download hspl3, choose the 2.08 hspl option, and you will be fine.
Judging from your post count you probably know that already, lol
Just trying to help.

luckily after flashing official Tmobile Rom,i patched my HSPL back to 2.08HSPL.and now i have installed NRGZ 21916 (Energy style(close to reference without cookie's home tab) ROM.but now im not able to use the phone as the touch screen is not working permanently.do u suspect a hardware problem here?
i am from India and my Tmobile Hd2 din come with warranty as we dont have Tmobile here.i had a word with the HTC Service center and they are saying that the device has a screen sensor problem and a replacement will cost me Rs7,000 INR.
i do not want to bare this cost.please all members,i request you to provide me a solution to this ridiculous problem.
Should i go ahead with Task 29? would it be safe.since i am able to upgrade roms successfully,i really dont find it a need to.but my touch screen is not working and the only way to interact with my phone is to connect it via mobile device center and then use MyMobiler.
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Based on the ability to flash a rom I would look to restore it factory radio and rom. Then start over. I know this is a pain but it migh solve the issue. Maybe something is hosed in Ram during flash.
I had Moto Droid that the screen quit working after applying a CM rom. I had to flash over my original SBF and then re-root and apply a new rom. May have been over kill but wanted to be sure. Also had the old HTC Titan(XV6800 on Verizon) do the no touch screen thing on a rom flash.
In the end it doesnt hurt to try.

yah..i did that too..but in vain..then the last thing iv tried yesterday was Task 29.that totally ruined my phone.now it just boots up to the NRGZ boot screen WITHOUT showing me the HSPL details and now im not even able to falsh a ROM/Radio not hard reset.
Tmobile is responsible to dispatch a ruined lot of HD2s' to the market.

Finally managed to do a successful Task 29 and flashed RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_2_Ship update.
i did a hard reset too after flashing the Rom.
here are the Radio details :
Code:
R 2.14.50.04
G 15.42.50.09U
D 3.14.04666 8G
here are the details shown in boot loader mode :

seems like hardware- you are having the same screen problem with different roms, correct? similar situation happened to me where the keys worked, but the screen stopped working (strangely, immediately after installing android.) tmo replaced the device. just my $.02.

As long as you have HardSPL on your device then I would sugest trying to flash some different Roms and see if any of them get rid of your TouchScreen problem.
Try Duttys Rom *HERE* first as it is a very stable Rom and is compatable with TMOUS HD2's. Flash via activesync, let it boot into the setup screen then take out the battery and hard reset.

What SPL do you have on your phone?
The only other thing I can sugest is to try installing a different HardSPL. If that doesnt fix the TouchScreen problem then im afraid your phone has some kind of HardWare problem.
Have you tried the original stock rom that would have come with the phone?

Hi Mark..thanks alot for your constant help.my uncle's HD2 had the Screen Digitizer problem.the Digitizer layer sets above the screen.So replacing just the digitizer costs 1500 INR and the entire screen costs ~6500 INR.(prices as reported by uncle after consulting the concerned person repairing the phone).
It was a Hardware problem finally detected !!!
id request u not to close this thread by next week.If the problem gets permanently fixed,i'll inform you here and then you may close this thread.

[Q] Is my HD2 dead ? :((

Hi guys, i dont know what happened but since i have put the android NAND on my phone it stops responding. in MAGLR i kept getting FATAL1E error. So fine i decided i will come back to windows 6.5.. i have installed 3.66 officail one and same things keep happening. It will sometimes boot sometimes it wont. It will boot but it wil hard reset instantly. Exacly the same as it was on android. I think it might be broken physicly. I dunno RAM, ROM, CPU ? Any way of checking it ? I dont want to say goodbye to my Leo
Thanks for help

Either a hardware issue or something in NAND causing it.
Here's what I'd do.
1) Flash HSPL if you went back to stock SPL
2) Flash Task29
3) reflash MAGLDR or Stock ROM.
The key here was task29 which will completely erase your NAND so there is nothing left over to mess you up. If it still gives you issues after this I would think hardware.

Thanks for quick replay. I remmember when i was first playing about with android i thinks something messed up the HSPL. The current one i got is SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE. Dont know if its the one i should have. ALso when i flash winmo i did it over the cable not straight from the SD card. So im not sure if it has changed SPL. I did use Task29

Yeah but you may not be able to flash task29 without HSPL installed first since task29 is not an official ROM, so you may have to flash HSPL first then task29 then magldr.

hmm this is very strange. Suprisingly after loading the newest ROM and SPL 3.. something with it from the SD card all the problems dissapear. But When i start playing with Hard SPL and MAGLRD it just keeps freezing and kind of overheating. Still keep getting E1 FATAL ERROR. Dunno what its for but my guess is that parts of my memory are broken and it causes data to corrupt. Anyone had situation like that ? Guess i will be stuck on Winmo

yes i have

just if anyone is interested i have solved the problem. For some reason i think the HSPL did not want to work propley. So i have installed HSPL 4 on my 3.03 SPL and then installed clK. After that i have managed to install Clockwork and then NAND clK Typhoon one. Now everything boots up and works like a charm. No issues with overheating and freezing. Thanks to all involved

Well done VipereK027, and thanks for updating us with your solution.

Problems with HD2 (reception, crashing...)

I have hd2 rooted magldr 1.13 on it, and I'm usually installing NAND roms(becouse I have slow 4GB class 4 card) and non of them are good, I don't know what am I doing wrong or all of roms are unstable and a lot of thing are not working(I read what is working, and what is not in thread of ROM that I am installing). Almost every time I have problem with signal streight and mobile network. I install last version of radio I tried previous version of it two, and still same. I am currently searching for some stable rom with Sense and version 2.3.5 or later version, so If you can suggest me some that would be great. I did search for them but as I said they were all unstable, camera was awful picture was falling apart, that thing with signal and mobile network. Only thing that I didn't try was returning him to windows mobile OS to see if that things happend there two.

anyone ? I mean 100 looks, and no one knows...

that's because mtty drivers are not installed/set up correctly on your computer. but why going for mtty?
just enter bootloader and flash the ruu from pc and see if your problem persists

you can task29 using hd2 toolkit.
you can also use it to partition your phone as needed

it is RECOMMENDED but not NECESSARY. i did it 1-2 times till now (celebrating a year of flashing roms 4 times/week)
by DFT do you mean repartitionning? if so, yes. it's enough
