I have the same problem, I have radio 2.10.50.26 but Im having some issues with WP7 restarting itself and no data connection, so I want to flash the 2.15 radio. I think I need be running WinMo to do this, but I have no idea how to flash back to a winmo rom from WP7. Help?

Simple,
Get to the tri color boot screen (vol down + power button)
Flash your win 6.5 ROM.

Hi, I am also trying to flash back to 6.5 from WM7. Could someone please give me some more details about how to flash back? I have the 6.5 rom on my PC and can get to the boot screen no problem but if I then try and install the old rom it fails as the PC doesn't detect the phone as being connected. Any help would be much appreciated, as although I love WM7 on my HD2 when it is working, it has a habit of randomly rebooting a lot! Thanks!

Just keep your phone unplugged and put it in bootloader mode. After a few seconds, the bottom part of the screen should say serial. Once it says that, plug it into your computer. Serial should change to USB in a second. If your computer doesnt have a driver for it yet, it should install that. Once its done, and once your phone says USB on the bottom of the bootloader screen, you should just be able to run the rom installer on your computer and install it. Good luck!

Thanks for you help, I managed that fine, though I had also wanted to remove the Hardspl I had used to add WM7. I have tried flashing the stock ROM back (via SD card and via USB) to overwrite it, however it fails to install correctly and the phone is being very unstable. Any suggestions!?

According to the thread I used to flash HSPL to my phone, you just make sure youre running a stock rom, then run the HSPL program like you did when you first put on HSPL, but choose 2.08.0000 in the selection screen.
That said, I havent removed HSPL so Im not entirely sure what to do if that doesnt work. If thats what you tried, Im not sure what to tell you

Have tried fiddling again and think I have done it! In the boot screen it now says SPL-2.08 (hopefully this is stock!?) and the phone seems to be behaving! Cheers for your assisstance

Yup, thats stock. No problem

You can changes Radio Roms as you wish under any OS. Just hold the Vol Down key when switching on to enter bootloader and flash via USB from there.

Yeah, I figured that out after I flashed back to WinMo -_____- haha
Now I just need to figure out how to make Chevron communicate with my phone so I can activate WP7

Hmmm I actually havent tried that yet, Ive done pretty much everything aside from reinstalling windows and stuff. I shut off my wireless during the process though because I turned off my antivirus and firewall. Hopefully that will work. WP7 is nice even without being activated, but it certainly doesnt come with many apps.

You aren't trying to flash it while you're in wp7, are you? I don't see why else it would label it as a leo70. You flash while in magldr... go to the flash option in magldr, then flash the android rom. If you're doing it that way, then please state exactly what you're doing so we can figure out if you're doing anything wrong.
zarathustrax I think i know all the steps..I know I should have it in magldr.12 but when i put it in magldr.12 i keep getting a error that it wont connect even though it says usb under usb flasher. try to flash DFT nanadroid 2.2 rom then and it gives me a wrong device ID error. now after several atempts my computer and phone will not read each other and usb under usb flasher is just waiting for a connection....The phone has correct radio on it. also i can get it do the screen to say HSP 2.8 everything there is a go its just getting this darn thing to read it i guess..

Sounds like there's a problem with the driver. Reinstall windows media center and see if your phone is properly recognized by your pc.
Otherwise, you could try restoring winmo 6.5 directly via sd card. Google how to do this, as I'm replying using my phone and it's a tad difficult to search the guide for you.

Like person above said, make sure all drivers have successfully installed... also make sure you're giving it administative rights when running flasher. I know sometimes when I flash, the administrative permission window doesn't pop up the first time and then it gives similar errors like you're stating. If it still doesn't work, then try reflashing magldr by holding vol down when you turn on to go to bootloader, and flashing magldr installer. Might be a good idea to task 29 it, too.

People he can not flash anything having to do with flashing via the SPL bootloader, this is why Orangekid and I both asked what happens when the OP trys to boot into bootloader.
calm down everyone!
lol
sorry, like others have mentioned, what exactly happens from start to finish when you try and get in to the boot loader, yes i know you said you know how to do it
but humour us, start to finish, buttons you push, whats on teh screen, everything.
sounds like something in the SPL has been screwed, been a lot of that recently which is a bit odd.
I can not get to the bootloader
I know that I cant get to the bootloader I tried the way you said above again and it just goes stright to magldr so I can not flash back to stock ........ I took it to a phone repair guy who said he fixed it and it appeared like he did but then two hours later it started again .......

Ok everyone as you can see he can not get the SPL bootloader to come up.
I will help you out with your Youtube link too.
I am very sorry to tell you but without being able to get to the bootloader you can not flash a official ROM back to the HD2 so you can not send it in for warranty exchange our repair. That is unless there is some miracle program out there that you can run from your computer to force the bootloader to bootup, which i have never heard of one. (Note to Devs that would be a awesome program to create if it is possible )
There is the bootloader.exe but you already have to have a Sync type connection for it to work and i don't know if the connection you get using Zune is enough. I attached the a EnterBootloader.zip file but like I said i don't know if it will help you are not. Try connecting and syncing your HD2 with Zune and then try to run the EnterBootloader.exe from your computer and see what happens.
Thanks for the program but when I try to run it in windows phone 7 it gives me the error that it is not a valid windows phone 7
Is there a way I could update or change magldr without the bootloader? or is there any sort of windows mobile rom I could install through magldr like you would with android or wp7?
I mean sorry it gives the are that it is not a valid win32 aplication not windows phone 7 that was a typo

I know someone in that can JTAG your HD2 buit he lives in Texas, but he is very good and experienced with JTAGing HD2s, PM me if you want more info as it would be against the rules for me to provide any other information in the forums.
Also I do not think you need JTAG but just need your voulume rocker fixed, but he is still the guy to do it.
the volume buttons should be easy to test within windows its self
I doubt its MAGLDR issue, it looks like an SPL issue.
could you tell me how much the jtag would cost and the volume down and up buttons work when the wp7 build is up

[SOLVED] Cannot get into tri-color screen, please help!

Hello guys,
Before getting frustrated about just another noob; No, I know the stuff with the volume down button, but it doesn't work (anymore) for me. I'm a noob but not a retard.
I have a very strange and frustrating problem. Like many of you I wanted to install Android 2.3 on my HTC HD2. Unfortunately I'm quite stuck. I did put radio 2.15.50.14, the 2.08.HSPL (with HSPL3_PKG), MAGLDR 1.13 and CWM (MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M) on my device, but when I tried to install the ROM via AD Recovery the device didn't show the menu and got stuck on "go go go". That's bad, but even worse is that I couldn't enter the tri-color screen to connect via USB and restore the original stock ROM. However I did manage to boot the "Stock Android" (NAND). Only way I can still flash is via USB Flasher. I read something about cabine (.cab) files that could somehow get you in the boot loader on other HTC devices, but can't find any for the HD2.
Anybody has any idea how I can enter the bootloader and restore my original Windows Mobile?
I have been searching for hours now. I have found similar problems, but no answers are given that can solve my problem.
I hope you smart guys can help me out. Is there maybe any way that I can run Windows Mobile the "NAND-way", to connect to Windows Mobile Device Center and flash my device?
Thanks in advance,
Stef van Son
This morning I just tried the volume down again, after the phone was in the MAGLDR menu the whole night. And now i could make it to the bootloader for some strange reason. Does anybody has an explanation for this?
I'm back to Windows Mobile now and have had it with flashing for now, but maybe after my exams I will go for Android again (I hate WinMo).

You might want to use some of the instructions in my signature... Also check out the CoreDroid thread, we have some pretty good instruction there. Usually if you pull you battery, then turn on your phone while holding vol down button, it will boot directly into the rainbow screen.
Well, I did follow quite good instruction manuals, but at the step of flashing the new rom, my device just didn't do what it was supposed to. It's quite strange, because WinMo 6.5 just works perfectly.
And no, pulling the battery out I tried probably a hundred times...

[Q] Reverting back to windows 6.5

Hi
I currently have w7 on my htc hd2 and im trying to revert back to win 6.5.
ive downloaded this stock rom RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.43.110.2_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_.
Phone booted into USB Flasher (Hold Power down, Option 5, End call Button.
But it sits at Wait Usb....USB and doesnt move.
What am i doing wrong??
Please help?
Thanks
You need to enter bootloader. Shutdown phone and power on while holding volume down. It will be the tri color screen. Attach USB then run 6.5 rom update

Another option would be to flash the ROM via SD card method.
This way, everything will be set back to factory status.

indeed, you should always use SD method when going back to stock, it will correct most issues and will bring your phone back to how it was when you got it, remember to install HSPL again if you intend to tinker with it some more, SD flash will remove Magldr and HSPL and will also change the radio, spl and ROM
search the forums for how to SD flash, theres plenty of them, infact most of them would have came up in the "suggestions of previously started threads" box when you make this thread!

Hi to all,
I am a noob , i tried to install Android on my HTC HD2 TMO(US) , but after all the Installation i was getting an Error 1E Fatal Error , i am trying to atleast revert back to Windows 6.5, so i downloaded the Official ROM Upgrade from the WebSite the name is T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1.exe and it installed properly without any errors, but all i can see is White Screen Now, does this Installation include OS also or should i install windows 6.5 seperately, please help me
thank you

Help me please to fix my phone

My phone got a little liquid on it and after that it frozen so I did a soft reset and now my phone is freezing on android boot screen every time. The problem is what my MAGLDR is not working properly now too and my ClockworkMod Recovery is not working at all, so I don't know how to reinstall soft now. The MAGLDR is kind of flashing always and its hard to control as sometime its not reacting to my button push. And then I try to go into ClockworkMod Recovery its just starts loading, does that 1234 go and it freezes on it, every time. But besides all this stuff my phone looks like working fine, just looks like it just has some software damage. I think it should work with a new soft if not at least I can send it to my insurance as I will change a soft back to normal, because now my insurance will not fix my phone as it freezes on android boot screen so whey will see that I have android and not windows. Waiting for any good advice. Thank you
Btw. My original boot loader is not working too, I can't get in to it. I think its because of the android.
i suggest flash the stock rom first , then do all the work again flash MAGLDR and then recovery and then the android rom you want to use and read the instruction for your device if you using hd2 EU or hd2 T-Mobile ... good luck

So yes, like I said before I cannot connect my phone using MAGLDR.

I don't know any other ways to connect my phone as I cannot get into boot loader Any help???

'USB mass storage is working fine'
You may be able to flash a stock ROM from the SD card but I think it involves the bootloader. Have a look at This thread and see if it helps (I CBA to read it properly, sorry )
Thanks, but yes it involves the bootloader
Does Bootloader normally work if MAGLDR & ClockworkMod Recovery is installed on device?
yea man its working fine in my phone .... okay how about if you get your phone and connect it to another pc ... maybe the wrong with your pc ... and run the usb flasher and flash the stock rom bro

Yeah that's a good point. If you can, trying PCs with different versions of Windows could help (i.e. XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc.)
Ok so I managed to connect my phone via USB Flasher on my work computer and I installed "[30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" without any problems but my phone still stucks on DFT Boot screen. I also tried to reinstall MAGLDR and ClockworkMod Recovery to get Clockwork Recovery work but it didn't work, it didn't change anything. Does any one have any ideas what can I do next? Is it possible to install wm 6.5 via USB Flasher? As I know it needs bootloader Does any one have more ideas how to fix it?
yea bro install the stock rom as wm6.5 using the usb flasher ... get it back to the stock then re-install any rom you want

I can't! Because wm 6.5 requires connection between bootloader or active sinc, there is not other way when instaling wm 6.5, and none of them work now on my device
