I need your help please! Bricked hd2???

OK, I received a T-Mobile hd2 that was and still is stuck on "stick together " screen. I tried the reset button on the back, taking out the battery, checked for bents battery pins, and I downloaded 2 "official" .exe roms and renamed to zip and extracted.the nbh file and renamed to leoimg.nbh and tried to flash them.via a formatted fat32 2gb SD card and only one worked, kind of but gets stuck at like 15% of the way?? For like 10 min..I just pulled the battery. .I tried it twice..Please help me out here..this is what is says on the bootloader screen if that helps??
PB81120. SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X50
AND NOW IT SAYS THIS (ON THE GREEN PART OF THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN), AND THIS IS AFTER THE FAILED FLASH THAT I TRIED..
"UPGRADE ROM CODE ERROR PLEASE TRY AGAIN" ?
Is that just saying that the flash failed?? Or something else??
Please help me out guys...as you can see I'm kinda desperate and exuasted in trying to get this.hd2 working again!! Preferably ANDROID FROYO..THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

You need to make sure you are flashing the correct stock ROM. Try downloading and flashing the official T-Mobile US 2.13 ROM, that SHOULD get you back to working. Everything you are doing is correct, Fat32 formatted SD card, under 4GB....nice job searching before posting, that is to be commended. Anyways, try the 2.13 ROM and let me know what happens.

Have you tried a hard reset? Or task 29 while in bootloader mode?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Ok i tried the 2.13 rom and it flashed and said success! but then it just stayed at that screen?? so i pressed the reset button on the back and now its back to the stuck "stick together" screen!! ??? should i have waited till it rebooted after it said "succes "?? i waited like 5 min and nothing and i just pressed the reset button..or should i have taken out the battery??

Yeahhh...you may have jumped the gun a little bit...after is says success, it takes like 10 more minutes for the ROM to set everything up. Go into bootloader and try flashing it again with the stock ROM and wait for at least 10 minutes and see what happens.

OK ill try that if I get lucky enough for that successful update..LOL
But I flashed a hspl2 (2.08) and can't I just flash away?? (USB..bootloader mode) ?? Since the phone is always stuck on the bootloader screen..
I just open the exe flash program and connect my hd2 in bootloader mode and I get the USB mode on the bootloader screen and I flash away..but it but it always stops at a certain point...mostly 8%..???

Yeah you can just flash away like usual. HardSPL isn't required to flash an official ROM anyways.

what am i doing wrong!!?? i tried ,many roms but hang at 8% 95% of the time?? i tried kumars tmous v2.9 s23139 se rom, the ruu_leo_1_5_tmous_2.10.531.0_radio_15.34.50.07u, and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1, all stop at 8%???!! ...i always do task29 after every failed rom to be clean and start over..thats right..right??
i have the hspl 2.08
i have a feeling im flashing an incompatible rom that requires a different radio rom??
please give me a link to download the right rom...thanks

1st post, rom 2.13

i feel for ya man, i keep getting up and running , every thing runs fine, i get it to survive a few reboots, then dead.... stuck at the boot screen.
i cant wait for a solution to android running natively...

I tried but hangs at 8%????

i tried many other roms, kumar, core cell, official tmobile us roms, they all either stop at 0%, 1%, 8%????? im going crazy here!!! whats going on?? i have hspl 2.08 and i do a task29 before every flash, but the wierd thing is that it doesnt auto reboot after task29?? it should, right?? and even after a hspl3 flash it doesnt reboot, the phone use to reboot automatically after one of those??? no i have to take out the battery for 15 seconds and put it back for it to boot again into bootloader?? and wierd thing is that sometimes if a flash fails and when i get it the hd2 to turn back on and if i do the hard ereset (volume up and down and then press up to reformat) it then reboots and hangs at the boot image of the last failed flash?? i thought when i do a task29 everthing should be erased???
guys im about to LOOSE IT!! i have tried to flash this phone already like 100 times int he past 3 days, no joke!!! 2 times it reached 100% but even after it rebooted and i did a hard reset it would hang at the boot logo?????

Did you have Android loaded on that same microSD card? Does it hang if your microSD card is out.
After you task 29 it should auto reboot, then you press Volume Down and Power to get into bootloader. Have you tried flashing from your PC via USB? If you are flashing form the card a stock rom, it will overwrite your HSPL to Stock SPL. You probably know this. Also if you flashed 2.13 then you need to install HSPL3 and not the original HSPL program. 2.13 has 2.10 firmware. HSPL only supports 2.8 firmware.
I've always heard when it hangs on boot up that it's usually something on your card.

it never had android, i got it with the stock firmware and it was messed up, stuck on "stick together" screen..and i never have the sd while im flashing via usb in bootloader.. i tried many roms, and task29 followed by hpsl3 and then i would flash custom roms and even stock roms but all fail?? all stop at like 8%, but the wierd thing is that even the task29 sometimes fails at 0% so im suspecting maybe its from windows 7? but i did try xp and the samething, the roms would stop usually at 8% or 0%??? ...weird?
ok i kinda fell like my mind is cluttered and confused..
i want to know, please..what rom is compatible with my current tomobile hd2 with hspl 2.08 colutta
so what rom should work fine?? with no problem?? and DOES IT MATTER WHAT MY RADIO ROM IS?? i have a feeling that if i have a older radio that it will interfere with the rom???

Ok i got it to accept a rom flash from sd card!! But it just stayed at the "update complete, update success" white screen??? I waited over 10min the i did a reset and hard reset...and now stuck at the boot logo??? I heard i might need a higher radio??? 2.10 or higher?? Is this why its not booting up?? Can i flash the radio through sd card??

You can flash a radio, just like a rom form the microSD card...

is there such a thing as a wrong radio version for a rom or "required" radio version for a rom?? will that cause the phone not to boot up???

I've never had issues using any Radio with any ROM really. Some combos work better than others but won't cause your problem. If I were you I would task29, then flash the 2.13 or the new 3.14 shipped ROM via microSD to take the SPL back to stock. Then I would flash HSPL3, then reflash a Custom ROM or the Stock ROM via USB. Then do a couple hard resets after that. If that doesn't work I'm thinking Hardware.
You can use any of these radios. http://www.4shared.com/dir/RFg27UmU/Radios.html Doesn't matter what ROM you are running.

Wtf!! I tried to restore the stock tmous roms (2.13 and the latest 3.14) and all would stop at 8%???? And i reverted back to stock 2.08 spl..still hangs at 8%??? But if i flash that core cell rom...itll say success 100%..??/ why???? Man this freakin hd2 is makin me go crazy...hardware issue maybe??

come on guys?? please help, its been like 10 days no reply...

you haven't given any details about your phone whether its a eu or us version also what radio or hspl you are using.
id say 1st step, try to update hspl, select 2.08 then try task 29 again

sorry
eu version
Radio: 2.15.50.14
WinMo: OzDROID ROM 2.00
Android SuperHD2_v14
kernel 8.5
hspl3 2.08

tried to flash task29 from sd card and that worked, but didn't help. i can't still install a stock rom, but can install for example Ozdroid but that don't help much, it still white screen when i turn it on

I had something similar I ended up sending it for repair and got a new phone as they were unable to remedy the problem. Maybe you will need to do the same.

oki, but what about when it is HSPL and warranty.
it could be nice to flash it to stock rom first, before sending it in. but it says fail when it comes to Radio_v2 on installation from sd card

Freeze on HTC logo after MAGLDR install

Hi there! I have a problem after install MAGLDR :/ I connected my HD2 to computer with ActiveSync, runned ROMUpdateUtility from computer, on my phone there was a tricolour screen, then self-reset and phone is freezing on white HTC LOGO. I tried to turn off my phone, remove battery... I'm also turning my phone on with press vol down + power - I have 3 colour screen and now what? PLEASE HELP!

Connect your HD2 to your laptop/pc... boot it while pressing volume down.. wait untill it says usb in the bottom of your screen. Now you can flash HSPL 2.08 and flash a custom or original rom.
I had the same.. gonna stick with RAM roms untill this is nand stuff is sorted out

I have the same problem... but after reflash HSPL 2.08 there will be no change. Could not start the machine.
How can flash rom from pc without booting the machine?
I couldn't understand "Now you can flash HSPL 2.08 and flash a custom or original rom." the second step ...

solved!
I had the same problem.
The issue it's the radio.

Hi,
After installing hspl 2.08 and then going on to install magdlr, when successful and rebooting it just stayed on the HTC logo screen. It wont reset but it will enter into bootloader. How exactly do i fix this. I tried reinstalling HSPL but it is still stuck on that screen. How would i change this 'problematic radio'?
I relly need to fix my phone so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Download a compatible radio (eg 2.15.50 in post above), boot to bootloader (switch off, vol down + power on (keep holding vol down until it boots), connect to pc and when usb shows on screen run the CustomRUU.exe in the radio download. (if there isn't one included you can take any one from a custom wm rom). You flash the radio the same way that you flash a rom.

Thanks for the quick response! I have tried doing this before and just tried the custom RUU posted above but when i run it where it says the image thats on the phone it is blank. Even so i click to update it and both on the phone and pc it stays at 0%. I don't know what to do!

Are you sure you have HSPL installed properly. In bootloader mode, check the spl version - it should show as 2.08.hspl, not 2.08.0000 or any other hspl version.

In bootloader mode it says SPL 2.08.0000? When installing it i did select the HSPL 2.08?? What should i do? Thanks

I had your problem and for some reason when I first ran hspl the first time and put 2.08 on my phone it said it worked but it didn't actually do anything.
Just reinstall 2.08 HSPL on your phone and then run MAGLDR.

Similar Scenario
I installed 2.08.HSPL - confirm at boot loader screen
I installed MAGLDR 1.13 with success
Flashed HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.5_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TMOUS to my phone with success
Phone worked fine for about a day and a half and froze up
Pulled battery and restarted to white screen
I can't seem to roll back the SPL, reinstall the MAGLDR, or install a different radio.
ROM Update Utility appears to start to work and phone restarts and I get an error message that the image is corrupt.
Any ideas?

Possibly bricked HD2, please help.

Hey, so I have an HD2 that was flashed badly. No problem, enter bootloader, reflash, right?
Strangely enough, it was acting strangely, and would freeze while in bootloader mode (plug in, nothing would recognize it, plug out and USB is still on the screen).
I pull the battery, try again, and get to flashing the Radio, it stops at 96%, and then fails. Try to do the recovery, but when I restart it, I a triangle with an exlamation mark (!), and I can't enter bootloader.
So, is that it...?

Oook, so I got into bootloader, flashed the HardSPL ver to 2, trying to flash the radio again, and it's not moving at 0%...

I'm having a similar issue. I have cotulla's HSPL 2.08 and I cannot flash ANY rom, no stock t-mobile, no android, nothing! Someone please help us! I would hate to see our HD2's go in the drawer and be forgotten

By any chance was the existing ROM the 3.14 one?

Try and flash the stock (or branded) ROM, either by USB or SD method.

No, I installed that update when it came out, seemed to make the phone worse so I went back to 2.13

a friend was doing similar ...
he upgraded to cotulla's HSPL 2.08 no problem, but when updating to most recent radio to allow him to play with putty or energy it froze at 96% and now just boots to ! screen
will not acknowledge attempts to SDcard flash, and his attempt to flash with latest stock HTC rom fails at random spots between 1% and 45%
going to grab an old stock rom and try voldown/power into tricolor and downgrade I guess

may have had some success ... seems his sdcard was formatted as FAT not FAT32 (doh!)
put duttys latest on the card and sd flashed that no problems, then put latest radio on card and sd flashed that, made it to 100% but 10 mins later and radio flash attempt still sitting at 'update in progress' with bar at 100%
guess I'll try with HTC stock via sd now
no joy there either ... hangs after attempting to flash the first radio portion

RESULT! seems the root cause was cotulla's HSPL 2.08
Ran HSPL_2 went back to 1.66-HSPL
then installed stock 1.48.405.2 which flashed completely and cleanly
phew

hd2 died help!
i accidentaly flashed an incorrect radio rom and thats where my problem started. although it still vibrates continusly once i put the battery back but im not sure if i can revive this. please help me out.

I managed to flash the latest radio successfully with 1.66-HSPL in place.
I just bullheadedly continually kept reattempting to sdcard flash just the latest radio, maybe 15-20x it either locked or gave me RSA errors.
Just before I was about to fling it into the fireplace, it just *worked* for no apparent reason ...
Just whacked Dutty's latest on there, and now happily looking at the 'tap next to begin screen'

[Q] HD2 Doesnt upgrade

Hi,
Today I've tried to install android onto my HD2. After installing 'mgdlr' to my phone it stopped doing upgrades alltogether.
Mgdlr did install correctly but after the reset I only got that white HTC screen.
I know I have to press the power button really long etc etc (I've read the guide thoroughly).
Now, when I try to install anything it doesn't go any further than 0%. Not with any (official) ROM, radio etc.
I've done several hard resets, soft resets and re-installs but nothing gets past 0%.
Does anyone have any clue what happened and why I can't install a ROM and perhaps knows how to fix it?

What are you trying to install? An android rom? Are you going to the flashing mode in magldr? it's option 4 or 5, I think. Magldr was installed successfully? What radio do you have?

I was indeed trying to install an android rom. My radio version was/is 3.14.404.2
I never got to that mode. I've seen it in video's but mine doesn't. I only get that white screen with, in green letters, HTC on it. No matter how long I hold down the power button.
Btw, I said that magdlr installed succesfully because it installed without errors. But I think it's malfunctioning because it obviously isn;t doing what it's supposed to. Re-installing it isn't an option because it hangs at 0%

Did you try task29? might help with your upgrading issues.

Which NAND rom did you use?

You mean your radio is 2.14.404.2 right, not 3.14.404.2?
Also what is your SPL, it appears in the tri color screen/bootloader.

I think youre right about the radio. It was the standard radio of the latest stock rom. Is there any way to check? My spl is 2.08.0000.
And I was going for rafdroid, not that it matters because I never got close to installing a rom.
Thanks for the replies so far!

if your spl is 2.08.0000, first, how did you get magldr to instal since it requires hspl? second, if you removed hspl after flashing magldr (hence 2.08.0000 and not 2.08.hspl as it should be), why?
enter bootloader, does it really say 2.08.0000?
You dont have to press the power button for 'really long' only about 5 seconds, so long as its the right 5 seconds, , , start the phone, first splashscreen appears, just as the first splashscreen is about to end, (after around 5/6 seconds) start pressing power, and keep it held till the magldr menu appears.

Mate, I need more info.
1. Your device version (branded or non branded?)
2. Your rom version before you start anything (stock or custom rom?, if stock, is it version 3.14 (the latest one)?)
3. Version of Android (NAND or SD Android?)
4. Are you planning to have dual boot WP7 and SD ANdroid?
5. Do you have HSPL installed?
The solution will depend on your answer on the above question
Cheers

Ive tried task29 but it does the same as any other update. It just wont let me flash anything, it keeps hanging at 0%

3. I was going for a NAND version
4. I wasnt planning on having a dual boot
5. I have the latest hspl installed (2.08.0000)
Additional info:
When running task 29, first it says From: image version:
To: image version: 2.0.00.00
And when I start the progress bars appear on both my comp and phone.
Afterwards it gave me a communications error.

Ok. Let's start from the very beginning.
Find the CORRECT STOCK ROM first. You go to htc website and use your serial number to download the rom. Make sure your downloaded file is not corrupt.
Get micro sd and use PC to format it to fat 32.
Extract the stock rom and find file with the name: RUU_signed.nbh. Rename it to: leoimg.nbh.
Turn off the phone (make sure battery at least 50% capacity), put your micro sd.
Now, press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON (don't release it), then press POWER ON button at the same time until white screen appear. Now, follow the on screen instruction.
If you succeed, check your spl by going into boot loader screen.
If your spl is other than spl 3.03, you can continue with next process. Installing SPL 3.03 HSPL.
Then, Do task 29. Then, flash radio 2.15.xx. Then install magldr 1.13.
All process can be done while in the boot loader screen.
If you succeed, you will be brought to mgldr screen. Select option no.5 (USB flasher) and press the green phone call button and connect it via USB, now run the NAND ANDROID you choose from your PC. If fails, retry the process from magldr screen and try different USB port. Also, make sure your anti virus, firewall, and Internet is turn off.
Good luck...

Thank you man, it worked!
I did everything you said and my phone is back up and running
Thanks!
