Restoring to Original Stock ROM - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey everyone,
Just recently I flashed my HD2 with WP7, after playing around with it for a while, because of its limitations I want to restore it to the original WinMO 6.5 ROM, I got it from the HTC website and when I run it it says connect with USB and use activesync, as you may know this isnt possible because WP7 uses Zune, can you please help me out here.
Thanks.

Never mind, for those in the same boat, turn off the phone, hold down VOL DOWN key and POWER button to go into tri color menu, then connect the device with usb and finally run the STOCK ROM.
I also had to repartition the SDCard, it was showing 200mb only.

how to change from one nand rom to another hd2

hello guys.
quick question. htc sync will not connect to my pc using a nand rom. how do i connect to load a different rom please?
many thanks
paul
HTC Sync has nothing to do with flashing a new ROM, so it's not an issue that it doesn't work.
Turn your phone off and then turn it on, but keep holding the power button until you get the magldr menu. Then select to flash from SD (can't remember the exact wording.)
Then plug in your USB cable and see if it says USB...USB
If it does then you're good to go!
Good luck mate.

[Q] Help with Android on HD2

So I installed Android on my HD2 using a youtube from some that created an Android App from the Dark Forces Team. Now the Android system is fully rooted into my phone and I want to get rid of it and go back to the Stock ROM of when you first have a HD2. Windows Mobile Device Center won't pick it up since it no longer has Windows on the phone. Can anyone help me get my phone back to it's original Stock ROM?
Once you've downloaded the ROM and you're ready to install it on your phone, turn the phone off and then hold down the volume-down button and press the power button briefly. Keep holding the volume-down button till you get the tri-colour screen.
It should say "serial" at the bottom. Plug in the USB cable and wait till it says "USB" and then flash the ROM as normal.
Good luck mate
Yeah, lol. I am not that cellphone smart. How would I flash it back to the Stock T-Mobile ROM when windows device center won't recognize my device?

Uninstallation
It is possible to downgrade to original Windows Mobile 6.5, by just flashing to an Official ROM.
Both MAGLDR and Android will be removed

DO as the guy said, read the main threads - the stickies
There is a link in my signature - how to flash everything - go and read
And if you are that lazy:
power down the phone
hold vol.down and press and release power button - still holding vol.down
Now connect the usb cable - to your phone and your PC
Run RUU.exe or whatever the file of your WinMo Rom is and follow the instructions on the screen
lol
Thank you guys.
So I have a new question for everyone. Have any of you had the problem with your phone no longer vibrating or the speaker for music no longer works? Well it works when it wants to.

[Q] HTC HD2: Entering into 3 color mode without "vol down" button

Hi all,
While fixing my broken LCD+digitizer, I broke the flex cable for volume up/down part of the flex. My HD2 is working fine except the volume up/down buttons.
It's a genuine HD2 for now, but I want to be able to install new roms especially Win7. But all the docs that I read here or the videos that I watched in youtube are saying use "vol down" button for 2-3 seconds to get into 3 color mode.
Unfortunately my "vol down" button does not exists as the flex going to the vol up/vol down is broken
Is there a way to get into 3 color mode to be able to install new ROMs (or HSPL if needed) without using vol down button ?
Thanks!
frm
Honestly i really doubt it, but look around or google it, you might be lucky and there might be a way.
I spent maybe hours for googling this but couldn't
hope some experts can shed a light

Actually there is .. In WiMo 6.5 Dev section I tried a few roms that had some kind of an application called EBL (Enter Boot Loader) it launches the Bootloader directly from within WinMo.
But remember I't only a temp fix .. you should replace/fix your vol
I will provide that cab whenever i find it
If you already have a custom winmo rom on phone try holding the end key, see if you have a advanced menu with bootloader option on and it will reboot phone into it.
If not, try searching for "advanced menu" or "advanced menu end key" etc and should find an installer for it.
doesn't every custom rom has an .exe. with enter bootloader?

Let's think a little further. After flashing MAGLDR, how are you going to access the "usb flasher" mode?

You're right, he can flash hspl and put custom wm65 roms on his phone and run android off of sd cards, but without a working volume button, he can't use magldr to flash nand android or wp7 builds. In fact, if he flashes magldr, which I think he can still do, he will be stuck with just magldr and be unable to do anything or flash anything... and unable to get back into the boot screen to flash back to any wm65 roms.

my HD2 sync perfectly with HTC Sync.
two days ago i flash perfectly Android in my HD2. but today i cant do anything:s
Put your phone into bootloader mode and connect to pc. Does serial change to usb once plugged in? If not try moving to another usb port on your pc , preferably one at the rear and allow the drivers to be fully installed. Once you get usb to show on screen you can then try again.

Thanks. how do i put my phone into bootleader mode?
Switch off, hold in vol down button and switch on. Keep vol down pressed in until get to multi-coloured screen. In the bottom section you should see the word "serial" - plug in to pc and this should change to "usb".
Switch phone off, remove battery for min 5 min. Put battery back.
Push down button "volume down" and keep pressed. Dont release it.
Now keeping volume down putton pressed press down power on switch. Keep pressed to this time when you see on your tricolor screen.
Release buttons.
You are on bootloader mode.
Install MAGLDR.
When phone shuts down on reboot keep pressed power button, dont release until you see MAGLDR menu (10 menu points if i right).
Install you preferred nand rom how rom guide tell.
After install phone reboots.
Enjoy your fresh android rom install!

[Q] Cant go back on 6.5 Stock Rom

Hi everybody,
First, sorry for my poor english, i try to explain the best i can.
My HD2 is on one of the first Phone 7 release 01/2011 ago.
I want go back on stock rom, cause recently, i've a bug, my phone can't boot. It stay on Phone7 logo and next reboot.
Without my SD card, the phone boot, but it's in english, and My computer recognyze it on " Windows Phone7 " with yellow exclamation point.
I've tried to flash 6.5 stock rom with usb cable, but it's said it can't connect the device.
To go on flash screen, i push reboot+power off+ vol down button. Next on emagldr 1.13 screen, i select "5.usb flasher".
Next i can check on my computer's now recognyzed as " Microsoft USB Sync", but the stock rom still not abble to work:" no phone response, check usb cable"
I'm sure that my usb cable is working.
Any suggestion ?
You might try going into the normal bootloader, not into MAGLDR.
Push both vol. down and power buttons until the device starts into the multicolor bootloader screen, then connect the USB cable.
If you didn´t change your PC, it should now be able to connect via ActiveSync.

Thanx for your answer, i think the bug is here i cannot enter normal tri-color bootloader, it doesnt work :s
When i do power+ vol down until the device start, i first have a blank Htc screen maybe 1sec, and quikly next boot menu from MAGLDR 1.13
However, i'm sure that my Vol Down button work, it works on magldr menu.
try pulling out the battery, then hold down the two volume buttons, as hard as you can safely get away with, pop the battery back in whilst still holding buttons down, if it doesnt start tap the power button. keep holding down the buttons through out the whole process until it comes on.
if you can read the content of your sd card in pc then you can flash WinMo6.5 rom via sd card.... :
- go to HTC website, download appropriate rom for your HD2 with your s/n
- extract NBH file from downloaded ROM (can be done with 7-zip, Winzip...)
- rename extracted IMG file to LEOIMG.NBH
- copy that file to SD card
- boot your HD2 with SD card while holding VOL DOWN
- you should see a flash menu appear, press VOL DOWN again (if i remember.. ) and you'll flash 6.5 rom
- that's it, you'll have new instance of WinMO 6.5, with stock SPL, without MAGLDR and ANY trace of WP7.-..
oh, if you dont see anything on your SD card or you cant copy to it, it is locked and you have to format it either with some utility or in a Nokia N, E series phone... I know for a fact that N79 works
this should do the trick...

huh, must be that i'm blind missed it completely
Thx for taking time to help me,
So, if i push vol up and down, i 've a screen, next the screen loading wph 1,2,3,4 Go.
I read on it "This operation will 1.delete all your personal data, and reset all setting to manufacturer default. 2. Calculate CRC checksum. Press Voldown to restore manufacturer default, or press Vol Up to get CRC, or press other keys to cancel".
But,
Nothing happend if i press vol down, or volUp or other buttons :s
Maybe we've to try another way to get into bootloader, i think my poor batterie level is bugging the bootloader.
So, I known that we can't acces bootloader via windows.
I'm on Seven x64, my hd2 is recognyzed as a phone7 Device, with a yellow "!".
If i launch HSPL 4, with administrator right, and XP SP2 compatibility level, it can't acces via USb. " no response".
Any suggestions ? May i change the driver?
right, well that proves the buttons are working, i think its just a case of not having them held in at the right time
pop the battery out, hold down the vol down button on its own and keep it held down, put the battery back in and if it doesnt restart tap the power button.
dont let go of the vol down button
Yep, i've done this maybe 30 or 40 times, no way, no bootloader.
I4ve found a thread that explain to fullu charge the battery, remove it and wait 24H before, do the operation ( vol down, putt battery still vol down, push power stil vol down) No way, this doesn't work :s
So i've order a new battery, maybe it'll resolve the problem, i hope. See when it arrive.
Oh dear, well if you definitely cant get in to bootloader and the keys do work then that's a problem, I doubt a battery will fix it but id be interested in knowing if it does work, good luck! Is been reading quite a bit about fixing devices via the wee metal points inside devices, I wonder I the points inside the hd2 will allow this...

I'm not sure i've understand all your reply Dazza, are u suggesting to check the 3 pin connector baterry on my HD2 ?
If it's this, i've already check this, the 3 pin are good, and i've put a graphyte electrical dust on it to improve the contact.
Nope, I mean if you pop the battery cover off there are 3 metal connectors next to the sim card, it seems on some devices people have found similar points and managed to connect the device to a serial port on a pc, then had direct access to the device bypassing the bootloader. I don't think anyone done this for the hd2 yet but apparently this will fix a completely bricked device
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Ok ! Maybe if the new battery won't resolve, i'll try something like that
Its complicated an as far as i know its not been done for the hd2, im not even sure that's the correct points but its a possibility. There are another 2 points on the opersite side to the volume buttons under the battery cover.
