This is a noob question but I cannot find the answer in the forums.
I have a HD2 with WinMo 6.5 on it.
I wanted to install a NAND version of Android so I started looking into it. I believe there are several steps but I cannot do any. If I want to upgrade the radio or use MGRLDR111 to boot to the usb flasher menu the phone just freezes.
I run the RUU of either and the phone reboots, I get the colored screen then it goes to the HTC screen with the progress bar and nothing happens.
I am sure this is a noob question and someone will point me in the direction of a link where this question has been asked before but its doing my head in. All help greatly appreciated.

You have your Winmo running ok right now? If so. Have you installed Active Sync on your PC?

Hope this can help you..
Thanks for the help above, I am getting closer.....I think.
It looks like I need to downgrade my spl first as I have 3.03.0000. From the posts I have read it appears you need to do this with an official rom.
Does anyone know where to obtain these. The phone is from Virgin in the UK.
All help greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and I been experimenting with my TMOUS HD2. I changed my clock to a new clock style with CTHE and now I can't change it back to the normal clock. And if I uninstall CTHE my phone stays on a blank screen until I reinstall CTHE. How can I fix this?

Try installing this cab. (or both of the Touch X Cabs)
Thanks, I appreciate it. Again, sorry if I'm reposting questions. I'm so new to this I don't know where to begin. I'm trying to get all this flashing roms, radios, and cabs together. I guess I'll start experimenting and reading about this. Any help or links would be much appreciated, thanks.

Ok, I've read over everything and I think I'm ready to try flashing a hspl and trying out some roms out. But first I have a few question:
1. Must I have wmdc 6.1 on my laptop to flash the hspl, or should connecting with activsync through a usb cable enough?
2. After I flash a rom, do I have uninstall it before installing another rom? Or do I just install a rom over the previous rom?
Those are the only two I can think of for now. As always thanks for any and all help, it's much appreciated.
no you dont have to have wm6.1 on laptop/pc
rom will uninstall old one automatically

Hey everyone, I'm back with a few more questions. I searched through the treads and I couldn't find the answers I was looking for. First off, I installed the GTX Theme over cookies home tad to try it out. I like it, but I still can't seem to get the volume icon to show. I downloaded all the different cabs and tried them and it still didn't work. Secondly I tried to unistall it once, but once I did the menu soft key wouldn't work on my screen. Last I couldn't unistall the android task bar. I tried but it's still there. I would once again appreciate any help,thanks.
Hello everybody,
I've been following the instructions on addictivetips (id link the page but can't). HSPL3 is installed and I've ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and all was well.
But ran into a problem at number 4 on the list. When I try and boot the phone up to select USB Flasher, all I get is a pink circle on screen and a frozen phone.
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi,
I suggest you use this very useful help thread here.
Read it carefully, then read it again.
Before you go on, have you flashed a new Radio yet? It needs to be a .50 radio to work properly. See the above thread for guidance. If you don't, you might irreperably damage your device.
Once you have a Radio and MAGLDR 1.11 flashed, you can then flash your Android NAND ROM.
You must complete these steps in the right order. If not you will have a very fine HD2 paperweight.
Thanks for the quick reply!
This isn't my phone, I said I'd take a look at it for a guy at work who started going through that guide but didn't finish it.
After talking with him I had a horrible feeling the phone was bricked as he had flashed some things and not others and just carried on!
But it's all sorted now, thanks again for your help.
No worries.
I have a HD2 that is running android off of my memory card. I would like to root the phone so i am just running android. The problem is every spl program i have tried is not working.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Any questions... read again, then, search, and read more. Everything has been answered. If you follow the guide in the first link properly, you'll have no issues.
Good luck.
Hi, I had android on my HD2 for a while but had to totally reboot it and now I'm stuck with Win6.5
I've searched and found nothing to help me get it back to android, I can't even get it working via SD install.
phone is on 2.08 HDPL and will only boot into win, I can't boot into magldr.
can someone please help, I really hate windows with a passion, I've read loads of messages regarding this issue though no one seems willing to provide an answer.
I hope someone out there knows how to do this and is willing to pass on the info.
It took a while for me to do this last time, but this time it seems impossable
Once you went back from Android NAND to WM6.5 roms you have to flash magldr again to get NAND working again. Did you do that?

Hello to all of you guys, i have searched the forum but have not found a similar problem that I currently have in hands, so let me start to explain.
I have an HTC T-Mobile HD2
Model No: PB81120
SPL: 2.10.0000 8G XE
Stock Rom: Never tried to install anything or upgrade
The phone worked fine until some days ago it stopped working and hangs on boot, screen all white with the logo all messed up and stretched.
I did a softreset, an hardreset, i can boot it on Bootloader (the tri-color screen) and it detects usb.
So thinking this behavior was caused by its software I tried to reset it (soft and hard) but with no luck, if i try to install via USB the phone dont pass the 0% (and it shows no logo above the bar, only a white rectangle with some black lines), then I tried boot from the SD (8gb class 4) but it hangs on Loading... screen (searching the other threads i found that maybe I need a higher class card and if possible with only 4 or 2gb).
Running Task29 from toolkit or trying to install something from the USB does the same thing as trying to install the Stock ROM (freezes at 0%).
So my question is, am I doing somthing wrong, or do you guys have a solution for my problem? And sorry for my english.
P.S: If needed i will buy another microSD card.
P.S2: If you have any questions, I will try to answer them the best as I can.

Based on the second image, it looks like you're trying to re-flash WM6.5 on it, correct? FYI, v3.14.405.2 is not the latest version. I think that v3.14.531.0 is (and the filename is RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship.exe). I suggest looking for that (it's likely in a stickied thread in the WM6.5 sub-forum) and trying it. If that doesn't work, you might try downloading the latest radio and installing that first.
Another idea: could your USB cable be flakey, perhaps? If you have another that you can grab, try that.
If you can't manage to re-install WM6.5, try installing Android or Windows Phone 7 (see the respective sub-forums), instead. This guide can help you do it for Android, if you're interested.

Ty for the fast answer, I'm donwloading the ROM right now and later i will update with the results. I cannot install Radio only version because I do not have HSPL installed, and about the USB cable, I'm using it with other devices and it's working fine. (I will try to find another USB meanwhile cable just to be sure).
Update, after downloading the ROM I tried to install it via USB but the strange behavior continues, it does not pass the 0% and after some minutes the setup fails as shown in the album I posted in the first post
I'm not sure what more you can try if you want to keep WM6.5. I suppose that you could try to install HSPL, a new radio and even MagLdr, then try to install the WM6.5 ROM again. If it fails, then just install Android or WP7, I guess. I would just do that, anyways, since WM is dead. I would go with the Android 4.3 (latest version from Google) ROM that's in my signature, but it's up to you.

Are you trying to install HSPL through HD2 Toolkit, perchance? Have you tried the standalone version? A link to it is here. I would suggest right-clicking and running it as an administrator, just in case. After that, try using the HD2 Toolkit to repartition as MagLdr or CLK. If it's still a no-go, then I don't know.
OK, I just did a search and it came up with a slew of threads that possibly describe your problem. Have you looked at any/all of these and tried the suggestions in them?

I realize that not all of them describe your situation perfectly, but the replies may still be helpful. There are a lot of things to try. I would read each of them carefully and try them all (as well as check that, the ones that you've already tried, you did the right way).
