-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLVED
Thanks to all the helpers; it turned out that this was the problem
Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up ;-))

Hello,
I've tried to search around for a solution to this problem for a few hours, so I'll dare to ask my question in a new thread
To make things short! I'm trying to reset absolutely everything to the way it was when I got the phone; radio, stock ROM, bootloader etc because I experience trouble with the phone. The problems started after I used the HTC program from the HTC website to reinstall windows mobile (for the interested, more on that in the next section). I am now trying to flash LEOIMG.nbh to the phone via the bootloader - but nothing just plain happens. I am 120 % certain that I've done everything correctly - formatting SD card to FAT32, load LEOIMG.nbh to it (and not LEOIMG.nbh.nbh, or something else) - it just won't start, and displays the tri - color screen. Says something about 2.08 HSPL, so I think the bootloader version is correct.
So, for the interested - after using Android for a few days I decided I wanted to use WM because it's better for me. So as stated above, I used the HTC installer from the HTC website to install windows mobile over some custom ROM. But having trouble with the wifi, I think it didn't install the correct radio version - do you think I am correct? In any case, I decided I wanted to do it the correct way this time, and extract the RUU_signed file to SD card and go.
Some extra info...
When starting bootloader, it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Numbers on HTC logo
R 2.15.50.14

Just some questions;
- Witch stock Rom are you trying to flash over SD?
- Witch size is your SD-card?

The stock ROM I am trying to flash, I got from the HTC support website
*I was not alloved to post links to external website, but it was supposed to be here ;-))*
So I've downloaded the latest ROM upgrade (in Norwegian, "ROM oppgradering" on the site) using a norwegian serial number I found in another thread. I've opened it with winrar, and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh file.. Does this answer you question? In one of the tutorials to reset the phone said for me to "download a RUU_signed.nbh file from *here*", but there were so many different files in there... So I just downloaded the official newest ROM upgrade from the HTC website.
My SD card is of size 16 GB, but right now I just tried with another one of 2 GB size. No change........
Why do you used a serial number which is not yours? The phone is stollen? (just kidding)... As an advice, if you want to be sure to flash the correct ROM use your own serial number on the HTC website.
If you bought your phone in another country (I've done this... from a country I can't even read a word) then put back in the original language.
When back to "original" you can always flash again the hardspl then the ROM you like in Norvegian.
Anyway with the info provided the radio has not been flashed.
info: when you say the radio flash through WiFI... nothing will never be flashed via Internet (cable or WiFi). It's downloaded on your computer then (and only then) flashed to your device.
Question: could your phone can access the SD when in your actual OS?
Idea: flash back to WM6 via USB then try again. It seems you're doing all good but that the SD is not recognized.
To be honest, I used the serial number on the forum because I couldn't be arsed to remove the battery.... )
I think you've misunderstood me a bit; I've not tried to flash the phone over wifi...
So, any suggestions as to what could be the reason for the bootloader not starting LEOIMG.nbh?

That's a good reason!!!
No make sure your phone access the SD. You're actually under Anrdoid or WinMo? Honnestly I don't understand your problem (I mean I understand your problem but can't understand why... very usefull post so)
euh... by the way. The only way to go out of the bootloader if you don't flash is to remove the battery no?
I'm trying not to get into reasons to make the post short and consise; suffice to say I got some troubles (memory leak, wifi) under winmo 6.5 after I've been doing some flashin. So I want everything back the way it was - radio, bootloader, winmo 6.5. Just as if I got it for the first time! I think after all the posts I've been reading this can be done by flashing that LEOIMG.nbh from som official stock rom with the bootloader.
BUT ---- the bootloader doesn't load LEOIMG.nbh!
You think 100% right.
I'll do the test on mine and post if it works or not (I'll only flash a radio, sorry but don't want to erase all my data).
Ok, I download radio 50.14 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787&highlight=radio
Rename exactly as you write in the post LEOIMG.nbh
Put on the root of my SD
Power the phone while holding vol down.
My phone asked directly if I want to update (so I pressed vol down to cancel).
You can try with the same file to see if the file you have is corrupted.
If it's the same... SD access problem??? So HW problem... not good.
You can try to reflash the HSPL just in case.
Don't know if it will help but my HSPL gives a different info:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
So all is the same except I have 0X30 and you 0x40
My HD2 is a European on (non-TMOUS).
Tried reflashing the HSPL. I noticed something interesting actually..
The screen flashes grey for about 100 ms! So when I enter bootloader with <vol down>, it shows tricolor screen, then flashes grey, then comes back into tricolor... Think I read something similar in another post...
Thanks for trying so hard to help mister! I don't know if it is my english or anything, but I'm trying to flash the entire stock ROM as described in another tutorial here (still can't post links...), not just the radio..
If I knew which radio was the correct one for me, I'd just flash that one instead, but I have not found any info on this anywhere..
I'll see if I can format the SDcard to FAT32 once more and try again..
Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up )
Good to hear that!
You learned me something with your format.

[SOLVED] Help, installed wrong ROM (european), now stuck with "Stick Together" screen
I bought a T mobile USA HTC HD2 phone in the U.S. and tried to install Artemis ROM which is for european phones only.
So now I'm stuck with the pink welcome logo ("stick together").
If I press the volume button and soft reset, I can see the screen with my HSPL.
I tried to do hard reset, but it didn't work.
Please help me how to roll back to original rom, or to install any eligible for T mobile usa rom.
Thank you!
Sweet, so that means you are able to get into bootloader?
Just flash task29 then flash a tmous rom
Thanks for the reply.
Could you please exlpain what task29 is and how to do this? Or where I can find the info.
I am a complete noob in this stuff (obviously).
Thank you
Remove SD Card, and Sim Card....
First get into bootloader by holding down the volume down button and power on the device.
next down load this file and run it as administrator: Follow the prompts and instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
When it hits 100% get ready to hold down the volume button again.... the HD2 will reboot and holding down the volume button will get you back into the bootloader.
Now get a US compatible rom and flash it the same way you just did the Task29. This time when its done flashing remove the battery and re insert your SD card and Sim.... let the phone boot up and you will be good to go.
Hope that Makes sense lol.
illconn, thank you for detailed answer!
I'll try it when I'm home. The only thing though is where can I find the US compatible ROM?
update
I got, I thought I'd need official T Mobile's ROM from their web site, but I'll be able to use any of the ROMs available in XDA. Right?
to be safe i would use the any of the ones in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653114
Once you read up a little more on here, and understand how some of the things work you can see there are a few more roms that you can use.
But before you can do any of that you need to make sure your phone has the right HSPL... there is a SSPL but just do the HSPL its easy.... now if you have already done this then great. If not start by reading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
GL and welcome to the world of custimization!!
Yeah, I decided to try to understand the process of changin the ROM.
Now I understand that SPL boots the device. And HSPL allows to boot custom ROMs.
So what is task29 for?
Task29 pretty much formats the internal memory.... although putting a new rom on the device erases, it sometimes leave bits and pieces of the old roms.... so its recomended you Task29 before a new rom so that you dont have any complications later. For example some people will have a lot of freezing, or programs crash, once they task29 and reflash problem solved.
HTH
Thank you!
And last thing, just want to make sure everything is ok, not to repeat the same mistake. When I go to the bootloader, I get Red-Green -Blue-White screen with this data:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Serial
That's okay to do the custom ROM, right?

Yes that is correct; by it showing "CotullaHSPL" that means you HSPL'd your phone and can download any compatable ROM onto your device, but just as posted above use task29. I was afraid to use it myself but after flashing my phone now about 30 times I've gotten over it.
Here is the link to the stock ROM's :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653
if you use the 2.10.0 it will be back to stock. (but you can still burn ROM's onto your phone) because it won't erase you HSPL, if you run it from your computer.
Make sense?
Guys! Thank you so much! I installed Kumar's ROM. It works like a charm!
I gained so much experience, and fixed the device. I'm so happy! Thank you again. Thank you

Wow. Number one, triple posting THE SAME QUESTION. Uhm, no. Number two, this is the HD2 or LEO section, NOT THE ATOM ONE. You won' t get any help here, you need to go post in the atom section.
Gotta say....I did the same thing as |OP|....this thread is making me very comfortable to fix my problem. Kudos to you guys for being patient with |OP|...it helped another newbiew
I talked to the number on #1 post and all I got is that I must ship the old one first. I told him about my location that shipment would be problem (from me to them, I can arrange shipment to US address and resend to me). Damn, now I must get it on my own for $50 or how much they cost (no ebay, they are mostly scams). Plus I got no Transformers, the card broke down and I had to format it (didn't help for fixing the freezing issue).
I talked to them over Skype though, because.. well I live in Europe. I'm not sure he understood me well, I have a sore throat and I'm having obstacles talking .
Hey guys. Ive been searching very hard now to find this answer! I Updated to 2.13.531.1 And I would like to know how to go back to the firmware before it.
--Thanks!!
--Linden
did you flash it thru sd card? before flashing thru sd card, did you put hspl in your phone?
what's your stock rom?
Hmm, I dont belive so. And No. I couldent figure out how to put HSPL on it. So no. And I do not know my Stock rom.. I think it was.. 2.10..

Hi Supp,
You need to provide more info to get xda members to reply. Go to settings tab in manila - software info. There u can find ROM, OS and Manila version. Also state if your HD2 is branded. Turn off the phone, hold volume down button and on the phone. You will see a tri-color screen (Its called SPL). Post that info as well.
Suggest u start with stickies. You will need Hard SPL to flash custom roms (its not called firmwares)
HSPL2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
What ever u play with, NEVER flash 2.13 TMOUS rom using SDcard with HSPL installed - no one so far will be able to help u. You have been informed. Hopefully u have not done this fatal mistake!
Okay here we go!
OS:5.2.21892.5.0.89

No idea what thats all about really..Now what..
If you have an original HTC (no vodafone,o2,tmo...)
1a) go to the htc website hd2 ROM update section and enter your serial number there
if you use a branded one
1b) visit the website of the company OR search the forum. you will find everything you need here.
2) Download and extract with winzip/winrar what ever
3) search for ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on a fresh fat32 formated sd card and put the card in your phone
4) start in bootloader (power on with vol down) and let it flash
thats it.

Well, This means u already have HSPL installed. U a have enabled it to flash any custom rom you want. I would suggest u flash through usb (may be slower, but i prefer it because HSPL cannot be overwritten and SD card will overwrite HSPL is the rom has Stock SPL bundled)
I suggest you pick any roms you heart desires and flash it since you already installed HSPL. Dont ask which custom rom is best becaused nobody here really likes that of question. Just download and try until you find the one fits your taste and style or read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683743

ruu_signed.nbh or LEOIMG.nbh can be found in the archive of the custom roms you downloaded. If you download stock rom, you need to extract the installshield package (just change the *.exe to *.zip and open it with winzip/winrar). When you extract whichever package you have download, thats the version number! Hope im being clear
Im sorry, but if you dont know where you bought the device you must have Alzheimer.
First try the htc website:*click*
Was it THAT hard?
It will ask for your serial number. If you dont know where to find it please READ!!!!
If your ID dont fits you bought a branded one. if you dont know the operator i cant help you!
Ulti
just becarefull when flashing....we don't know if your mobile phone is a T-mous or not...there's a different between a 1024 and 576....Mskip thread....to learn everything before you play with your expensive phone....
and by the way....you never know that your phone has already an hspl.....if i were you...you better know your stock rom before flashing anything....you might be Tmous, o2....let's just say...it's better to know your phone than in the end it's "Bricked"....
Alright. So this video is what is showing me what I need to do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X--T--kvE24
Eyyy i tried to revert it to stock ROM!!
i copyd the downloaded RUU_SIGNED.nbh from the website of htc.com with my serial number and renamed it to leoimg.nbh and then i started boatloader and install it, after like 20% it said '' installation failed'' 2002200 error or something like that.. now imma film it with my desire hd,....
after failure it restarted to boatloader with SPL 3.03.000
i got a LEO from Europe.. WHAT NOW?!
If you downloaded from HTC it should be in an .exe format
Put your phone in bootloader (when the phone is off hold down volume down and press the power button) you should see a tricolor screen. Plug your phone in to the pc run the exe and follow the instructions through.

Or uncompress the .exe file with winzip. You will find the .nbh file inside.

IMma not sure what it said exactly but something with '' BAD PHONE ID'' when i tried to open HSPL2_RUN
Now trying to flash the stock rom from usb it got stuck at 0%..
it says : BAD SPL VERSION!
So im stuck with SPL3.03.0000
Cant flash anything....
so what to do?!
tried to flash stock ROM from htc.com from sd
it says ''Not allow'' 20002
tried to flash it from the usb it gets stuck at 0%
cant flash to SPL 2.08 HSPL because i have spl 3.03 right..?
Let me guess, the microSD Card is a 8GB or greater - it is a known problem.
If you need to flash via the SD Card then go either for a 1, 2 or 4GB one. MAking sure that it is formatted correctly.
Forget all about HSPL right now, as the HTC ROMs or the branded versions all come with ROM, RADIO and SPL.
from your video, your SPL is not showing a model ID in bootloader.
(The top line in bootloader, Eg mine says 'PB81100 SS-BC)'
Ive seen this crop up on a few occasions, where the ID gets corrupted, or like yours vanishes completely.
Problem is now of course that all roms will give bad model ID.
I'm not sure of any fix, however if memory serves i seem to remember someone tweaked a customruu to avoid checking the model ID. (Though i couldn't immediately find it just now, , not that i tried too hard, thats your job )
Not sure if it will help, but i think id try flashing a stock rom with the tweaked RUU, if i could find it.

First of all, nope it was a 2gb, didnt use my 16..
second you're right when i tried to flash it it said '' BAD MODEL ID''
i got a test in a couple of hours, when i get back i will search for it a tweaked customruu whatever that is :|
Searched for it..
couldnt find it...
i guess no helpp.
I'll try remember to look tomorrow, but with all the forum changes,,,,, like finding a needle in a big pile of needles.
I may be remembering it wrong anyway.
Do google searches like

There are a few threads over the past year regarding model id
Searched couldnt find anything usefull.

You are not on HSPL that's why it doesn't work.
heres what i think i was thining about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706064
Before hspl3, this workaround allowed people to bypass the model id check for particular model IDs, perhaps a blank ModelIDCheckBypass.txt (since your model ID is blank) file would work?
oops, i forgot you were also stuck on spl 3.03.0000, so even bypassing the model ID, hspl would still fail because it doesn't support spl 3.03.0000.
So, normally, only a correct stock rom (usb or sd) of lower version, ((out because of the mdoel ID) or any other stock rom through goldcard would work, but i'm not sure how goldcard would respond to no model id.
If you can get a CID for an sd card (2gb or smaller ideally), pm me with it and an email address and i can make you a goldcard image.
Gotta be worth a try.
There are several ways to find a CID, if you have another winmo phone you can use for 5 minutes, thats wayyy the easiest way.

My sincere apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (i can't find a thing and been looking all morning!).
I've ballsed up my HD2. Basically i tried to run sd card dual boot android thingy last night. Radio didn't upgrade as it should have and so anfroid didn't work either. So...today I tried downgrading SPL from 3.033 to 2.08.0000 so i could upgrade radio to be compatiable. To cut a long story short I used the downgrading post to do it and now i have upgrade rom error please try again. One positive note though....stuck on a lovely red green, blue and white screen (bootloader me thinks?) with spl showing as 2.08.0000.
Now....I thought i was slightly above average in terms of genereal public geeky know-how but this has certainly humbled me. I've been through the O SH*T I've bricked it (both me and the phone) and through dam....my wife will kill me, i'm now at denial thinking it will magically sort it self out (which it won't).
So please, apologies for the essay....can some help me out. Please go slow as I really can't do things without step my step instructions.
In a nutshell: can't get past bootlaoder and i wanna go for a poo because of it.
HELP!

I have no idea about HD2 but most smartphones would have a recovery option in its PC software suite. Try that if all else fails.

I'm not sure that would work, plus i don't think I've got the disc (had hd2 for 18months now).
It says:
HX-BC
SPL-2.08 0000 8G XE
MicroP (LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Tried loading standard rom from htc site but after 1% it crashes.
Crashing your phone is definitely a cure for constipation!
HELP!!! Anyone? Tried HSPL and it didn't work, still stuck at bootloader. Have a bricked it?
You flashed the stock 2.08 SPL instead of Hard SPL. That is why it will not let you load another ROM.

Thanks for replying but, pardon my ignorance (i'm not very good at this stuff), how do I resolve this issue? is stock ROM the one that comes with the phone? I've ried putting different SPL through HSPL but stays at 2.08. What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance

The SPL you put on there is stock, meaning locked so you cannot flash custom ROMs.
You need to run HSPL4 again, and flash HSPL 2.08 NOT SPL-2.08 0000.
THEN you can flash whatever the hell you want
Don't flash HSPL 3.03 unless you plan to just use a 3.14 based windows mobile ROM.
just tried that and it stops half way through process and put spl 20.8 0000 on it even though i asked for HSPL. whats wrong with it? any ideas? again, i appreciate your help. is this anything to do with radio (????what is radio??? lol)
now all hspl does is not do as i say, whatever i pick whether it be 2.08 stock and 2.08 hspl (or their 3.03 counterparts) it show spl of 2.08.0000.
to be honest i just want my trusty winmo back so i can make calls, to hell with android (for the moment lol)
Is it regular or tmous?
Regular - 2.x spls arent stock for regular, only tmous uses 2.x as stock, so that may be havjng an effect, though it shouldn't,,,,,
Run hspl2 (note that's hspl2) and choose 1.66.0000
If that takes ok, then go to htc.com and find a rom that your serial allows you to download and flash it.
Tmous - get latest rom from t-mobile.com and flash that. If usb flashing doesn't take try sd card flash.
In both cases if still no luck, try goldcard, pm me an emaik address and your cid and I'll make you one.
You could also try the "chill phone in bag in fridge for half hour before flashing" trick, which if it works means you have overheating issues.
Spl - any spl ending 0000 is a factory spl andwill not allow flashing except that phones stock rom.
just pmed you, dunno if i did it right, hopefully you got it. Unfortunatley hspl2 didn't work either, still 2.08.0000 on there. Can i work with this in any way? ie can i load another rom on rather than revert back to htc rom if it easier? This all began with wanting dual boot android/winmo but its gone belly up lol, still i suppose there are ppl that have bricked phones whch are worse off.
I don't even know how to load another rom! i'm the noob of noobs!
From PM

I'm afraid that hspl2 didn't sort it out either, still shows spl 2.08 0000. Although it does say successful, when booting up it says failed and reverts back to bootloader. Should i be pressing any buttons while it boots up (i'm not - only vol down key when i need usb port to work).
Could i have a goldcard please? What is a goldcad and how do i use it? I haven't a clie as you can see. MY email is ***********.
I really appreciate your time, I understand you must be busy.
Thanks again

ah i was afraid of it not working, , next i would suggest try hspl4, choosing 3.03.hspl or 3.03.0000, though again, i suspect the same thing,,, no change.
No real answer as to why it does that, i suspect a bad nand (memory) block, perhaps some memory flag that needs to be set but gets corrupted, , or something.
All i can suggest is trying hspl2,3 and 4 to try and change the spl to anything, , you have a regular hd2, so theres no problem, it should take any spl.
Goldcard is basically a magic sd card that makes the phone think it is in the factory, and lets you flash any STOCK rom from any region and carrier, and the phone will accept it as its correct rom. You can make them from any 4gb or smaller sd card, but i need teh CID (unique serial) of that sd card to send you the image which you write to the disk.
Problem is, getting the CID, , if you have another windows mobile phone you can use for 5 minutes that takes sd cards) then you are laughing, if you don't then you may be in trouble (although again, this is pretty unlikely to work if you really do have the stuck spl/radio problem, so if you cant make a goldcard dont lose any sleep)
Anyway, if you can get hold of a running winmo phone and connect it to your pc, then have a read HERE
http://samsamuel.co.uk/news.php?id=8
If you cant get hold of a winmo phone, then you will have to google on how to find sd cid without winmo phone, , , ,get ready for an evenings reading and frustration!

No, only stock roms will flash on 0000 spl's.
your phone, if acting normally, should always take the correct stock rom, but i have myself had issues flashing a correct stock rom when i left spl as 2.08.0000, until i downgraded to spl 1.66.0000, however the dowbgrade worked, whereas yours isnt taking.
As for which rom should always flash, go HERE and the second one down is t mo UK. If your serial gets rejected when you try to dfownload it, then its not the correct rom for that phone.
Download that, and rename teh file from filename.exe to filename.zip, then open the zip, inside is a bunch of files, one is called RUU_signed.nbh, extract that and rename it to leoimg.nbh and put it on your sd card (4gb or smaller, formatted FAT32) and reboot your phone into bootloader, where it should start to flash.
thanks for all your help.
At the moment its stuck on loading...has been for 15min, i think i'll reset it. I did manage to get it on another spl earlier this afternoon but it was 3.03 and i didn't think that was any good for me so changed it back. i'll keep trying to get a hspl on it, i take it that after that i can put any rom on it (cooked).
I'll try my wife's touch and see if i can make a goldcard.
Thanks again, let you know what happens.
jusr reset it and spl 1.66 is on there but only flashes up for a second before a white loading scren comes up. reset it a few times after that and still no joy. htc rom won't connect to it!
its working! the sd card was still in the phone and i had put something on there this morning (think it was a radio or something which caused loading screen to occur) windows just lkoadiong now, hopefully it will work. I'm still up for android dual booth tho lol. if this all works then i think i might wait. Samsamuel, i really appreciate your help in all this!
Thanks again!

ps anyone readinf this...if in doubt just keep trying hsdp until u can do it in ur sleep, i must have done it 50 times today
Ah yea, leaving an inage on the card,,, bet you don't make that mistake again, hehe.
Alright,
Today my touchscreen stoped working. I was running android and the phone has the HSPL 2.08 version installed.
After one day trying to get it to work, i managed to flash the 6.5 win mo back. After that i thought the HSPL was gone, well you guessed already, it didn't. So i used the HSPL 4 installation tool, selected spl 2.08 and booted right into boot loader to see if it worked. And well yes it worked but here comes the question.
Now there are 4 sentences:
The first with a serial code starting with PB and ending with -BC
Second it states SPL-2.08.0000 8g XE
Third MicroP(LED) 0x05
At last: MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
My phone is from the beginning of 2010 i want to send it to htc to let the screen be replaced, my question is: is the SPL version the right version and will there be no ugly questions from HTC if i was running android / had HSPL installed?
Already thanks!
That spl 2.x is only correct if you have a tmous.
Assuming you don't have a tmous, You should either flash the rom again but from sd, or use HSPL2 or HSPL4 to match the spl to the rom.
If you Do have a tmous, that's fine.

It looks right to me.
The surest way to do this though is to find your stock ROM via HTC Support (international) or tmobile support (TMOUS), they will have you enter your IMEI/SN and so will ensure you get the correct stock ROM from your phone.
You have to flash via SD, RUU will not replace your SPL, but SD will replace your SPL and everything else to ensure it is on the correct stock everything.
Thanks for the reply's,
Dont got a tmous. So if im correct i need to place the the file in the .exe file from the htc support site (witch i downloaded the latest rom) named: RUU_signed.nbh toe leoimg.nbh and put in on my sd card, next i need to go into boot loader and it will do all the work?
I found a video what describes stated above: http://www.youtube.com/user/inmatrixout#p/u/6/N5gYQ3A7KqA
Thanks!
Alright,
Just put the nbh file to my sd card and renamed it to leoimg.nbh then booted into the bootloader and the 3 colord screen pops up. Next screen flashes to white with blue letters saying: loading...
Stil is there after 2 mins, in other words.. freezed.. what sould i do?
Already thanks!

what size sd card are you using ?
If you have 2gb it will be fine just be sure to format with "fat32".
Make sure sd card work well.
Make sure your battery isnt under 50%.
And finally make sure you downloaded right rom.
thats all, try that and report back , i hope you succeed .

Reporting back..
I have a 8 gb card, witch i formated to fat32, i dunnow if i got the right rom, well i got this rom: klik from the xda page klik
But i downloaded another rom from the htc site, i didnt flash it with that one, but i did with the one i provided by link.
Already thanks!
Greetz prom
Oh, and by the way, it seems that the rom i downloaded from the htc site is simalar to one i downloaded and flashed provided by me in the link above.
-- Update:
- After watching the video i provided earlier and examine it closly i saw that the hspl version (1.42) was changed to spl 1.42. I know i did install hspl 2.08 with hspl 4 and did uninstall hspl with hspl 4 just by selecting the option spl 2.08 (or something like that.) Next poped up a alert box witch told me it was done.
So im asuming its good to go for servicing..? What you guy's think?

ok... if still that doesnt work try 2gb sd card and make sure you download rom from htc web site with your phone serial number, because if you have wrong rom you may brick your phone.
if it successfully flashed from SD and you do not have HSPL anymore then you are good to go.

Well thats what i wanted to tel you is if you look at the picture youll see a red line, in my case there is standing SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE, the other information is indentical to mine. So, i think i got HSPL Uninstalled, what do you think?
Thanks!
Yes, you no longer have HSPL on there, which is good.
But if I understand you, it now says 2.08 which is not ok for regular hd2. Yes it works, yes it's stock, but spl 2. ONLY ships with tmous roms, therefore any regular hd2 found with spl 2 can only have gotten in that position using hspl or Goldcard,,, both warranty voiding practices.
For reg leo, you need 1.42.0000. 1.66.0000 or 3.03.0000
Alright, the 1.66 sounds familiar. But my usb port is olmost broken. What to do what to do.. :S
from the menu i only could choos 3.03.00 so flashed it, dft we hacked it come on front but it doesnt matter... now there is this information about the spl:
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
Hope that this is the good one???
Alright, another update...
- thought to myself, 3.03 well if this is the one, the leoimg.nbh should work.. And guess what.. its updating from the leoimg.nbh witch was extracted from the exe file, witch i downloaded with my serial number.. i think im good to go
- last update
-- update complte
-- UPDATE SUCCESS
Sounds clear to me, in boot loader no hspl or something like that.. thanks for the help guy's!!
Cheers to yall!
My advice is to go to the HTC Website and download the ROM for your phone (you need to put the phone's serial number to get the ROM). Since you are returning it for repair, then it doesn't matter what version of the ROM you use as long as it is a valid one for your phone.
Take the downloaded .exe file and rename it to .zip. extract the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. place it in the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD Card (less than 8GB in size).
Boot the phone into Bootloader mode and the ROM will flash - if you follow the instructions.
These stock ROMs (and the mobile phone company branded ROMs) contain the main ROM, the RADIO ROM and the SPL. and by using the SD Card method ensures that everything is flashed.

Thanks for the info, why i couldn't flash it..? I think because it was expecting a tmous rom, (2.08 spl) just redid it with hspl 4 dont ask me how i managed to do it with a broken usb port on the phone.. :S. Well i managed and did accomplish it. Rom 3.03 is on it now. Tomorrow im going to the htc store for servicing.
Thanks to all!
Greets prom!
I assume that you meant a 3.14 ROM with a 3.03.0000 SPL.
