No GO GO GO - different kind of fault

Help Needed Folks-
My unit is the US T-Mobile HD2.
I had android running fine for a few weeks untill it no longer booted past the 'go,go,go' stage.
Its running SPL-2.08 and was using the Desire HD android build and Magldr 1.10.
After reading on various threads re 'go,go,go fault', i now have flashed Magldr 1.13 and then reflashed the android desire hd build all ok.
Problem is it still wont boot past the 'go,go.go' stage. Ive searched numerous threads and cant get my head around this and am now thinking its perhaps a hardware fault as opposed to software, unless ive overlooked something.
Please, i know im new but ANY help or ideas would be appreciated in trying to revive my 2 week old phone.
Thanx & appreciation in advance
Ps- i posted this in The Lounge which might be unsuitable. Moderator please delete it if reqiured.

flashed the rom again?

If all is in NAND (no data.img on SD) then remove the SD and ty again.
Same issue???

The sd card was not in the ph when i flashed. Would this have been a problem?
ie - should the sd card remain in the ph to flash etc?
Thanks for your time.

What ROM are you using and how are you applying it (through DAF or CWM)?

Ok, firstly i tried to re-flash it (without sd card) and again the same problem occurs.
The rom used is based on the Desire HD build. Run DAF file as administrator.
In the Magldr 1.13 menu i tried option 8 - AD Recovery and it lists the following:
'No Boot Sources'.
Its got me stumped........Any ideas ?
Do i have to flash a radio for the T-Mobile version, as i never did originally and all was working fine ?
Sorry to be a pain fellas, and again, ur time is much appreciated.

You can't do both. If you flash with Daf, then cwm is useless

No need of SD to flash (with DFT of course!)
If you flash a build with DFT you remove CWM (so it's DFT build OR CWM but not both).
You're build is a big one (HD with Sense I think). Are you sure it doesn't have data on the SD? Or need an ext partition?
Read the first page of the thread of your build to be sure.
Usually it's better to put the SD to start Android on first start as it create some hidden folders (files also maybe).
You better delete/recreate the SD partition (fast format sometime doesn't remove SD corruption).
If this doesn't work. try to redo all (SD partition delete, WM stock flash, MAGLDR flash, Build flash).
It cost nothing to do few task29 (even if I don't knwo which part of the NAND it cleans).

You need to flash the new CWM after flashing MAGLDR 1.13, as CWM is now provided as a raw image that you flash through DAF. Once that is done the AD Recovery option in MAGLDR will work and you will be able to boot into CWM to flash ZIP ROM's.

What I understand is that he's trying to flash a DFT build. So it's useless to flash CWM, it will be removed when he'll flash his build with DFT.
Of course he can also flash CWM and use another build (or maybe the build is provided in the two versions...).
Sorry but I don't know the build you want to use.

Just come to my mind. Maybe the build you download is corrupted.
Apply my previous advices and try with another build (one you have on your laptop and you have used before successfully or a new one you download).

Can I root/install android on an HD2 with a broken USB port?

I came across an HD2 with a broken USB port... ie i cannot charge through it or send/receive data through it. I can still use the phone by having a spare battery and an external battery charger
is there a way to install android on this without needing the USB port?

you need usb to install hspl, magldr and recovery....rom can be installed through sdcard...but to get there u need a usb..
changing usb port is easy if you know little bit of soldering and a spare usb head (you can get this in radioshack)...but u should know wat u r doing ...else u might damage the device

If you have HSPL installed, then you are lucky. You can Install cLK 1.5 from SD card with built-in recovery. Download from here.

Yeah, just dl clk1.5, extract the zip, copy the leoimg.nbh file to your sd, startup your mobile, press and hold the vol down key before starting (for ttricolored screen), and let it install clk (tricolored screen shoukd turn automaticly into grey and ask you if you want to install the.nbh file). Cwm comes with clk. And you can change the cwr(clockwork recovery) size via clk perfect ffor broken usb devices

Hi folks, I have a similar situation with a broken usb of a HD2. My radio is 2.05.51.05_2 and the SPL is 1.42.000. I don't have HSPL and I was wondering whether I can install any rom on it (wm6.5 or android). I am new to wm6.5, thus any suggestions would be great!

Unfortunately you can't install NAND Android as you can't install HSPL, however you can run SD Android. Just update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 via your SD card (search for a guide, something to do with downloading the package and renaming one of the files [I think RUU_Signed] to leoimg.nbh and flashing in bootloader). This will give you the required/compatible radio. Then just download an SD build, place it on the root of your SD card and run CLRCAD and HARET.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I have already tried this approach with Artemis_v370_0409_WWE rom, but the phone gets stuck at "Loading..." on a gray screen. I also downloaded RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but as you might guess it was of no use due to the broken usb. Do you have any idea where I can find a stock 3.14 rom that can be installed as a .nbh?
Cheers

Here I think the process is the same, a custom ROM such as Artemis won't work as it requires HSPL

Thanks! The guide provides a link for for an official rom only in the end when stating "So, assuming you have flashed an official ROM over 2.10 via the SD card and you decide you want a custom ROM, follow these simple directions:
(You do not have to have your phone connected to your PC for these steps)
Download the "Official" ROM from here."
Yet, my rom is only 1.48. Should I flash it anyway?

I don't think it matters, but courtesy of mskip's tutorial here you can see that you have to:
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

Thanks big time!!!
Lastly, which rom should I download? I heard some nasty things about bricking your phone by installing 2.08 or >2.10 through the sd method, but I didn't quite understand it...

Neither do I but if you've read about those issues then best not to do that. Basically use any ROM with a .50 Radio (it'll be in the name of the ROM) and you will be able to use SD Android

i dont think so....

Well, in fact, I was able to install wm6.5 v3.14 after I contacted HTC and they told me I need a Czech rom (?! ). After that my radio was 2.15.50.xx and now I am able to boot perfectly any SD Android rom! That's what I call a transformation!
The only problem I encounter is with Skype on every rom - it crashes and the mic works improperly.

Just bought hd2

Hi guys, i've just won bidding on ebay for a HTC HD2 with stock rom.
I won it for £62 Although there's a catch, the usb slot isn't functioning, so you can't charge the phone via usb or access files via usb. So the owner charges it via an external charger where you have to take the battery out and put it into one of those charger things. I've got one of them too, and it works a charm.
Now the real question is will I be able to put any version of android into the HD2 without access into the phone via usb? So would it perhaps be like the HTC hero where you put a rom into the sd card and flash from thereon? I hope it's like this, because I can't stand windows 6.5
Thanks in advance guys!

You can run SD BUILDS from the android section and use a different phone or a micro usb

As far as I know you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 via the SD card and therefore cannot flash NAND Android (replacing WinMo with Android) but you can run SD android from the SD card. Just update to the latest stock build with radio 2.15.50 then download an SD Android rom, run CLRCAD and HARET and enjoy.

So I can run ICS? from the sd card essentially?

Check if your hd2 has radio 2.15.50.14 or other with a .50 number in it for example 2.12.50.02.you can check it from os or in red small letters in right corner of the screen when phone boots
if it has you can run sd android roms
then power down the phone.Hold volume down and press power.Dont let vol down until you see a tri-color screen.If it says hspl 2.08 or 3.03.cotulla then you can put clk bootloader v1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053 and run nand android without the need of usb port
if nothing of these things (no hspl,no radio 2.x.50.x) exist in your phone,you cant run android sd or nand

Dudes, dont give him wrong infos.
Ofc you can install nand roms without your usb connector. Simply use cLK bootloader instead of MAGLDR. But, as alrdy mentioned, you need hspl.
If so, you are able to install cLK from your sd and set up CWM recovery layout size over it. Without PC. Just search for it here in Q&A and forget sd-builds.
I might have some time tomorrow to search the correct link for you.
And clio is right. For further information look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23678173
Just a sideinfo: you could try to disassamble your hd2 and change the usb connector or the motherboard... or buy a defect hd2 ti test around.. for both you could search for it on ebay.. for the disassamble guides on youtube.

Therefore nobody gave him incorrect information If you can't flash HSPL via SD card, NAND Android won't work properly. Nobody said you couldn't flash cLK via SD card though
Also, if you don't have a .50 radio you will have to update your stock ROM via SD card. Download the stock ROM for your device and extract it somewhere, find RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to Leoimg.nbh and place it on your SD card. Reboot your phone into bootloader and follow the instructions from there to flash. I've never done this before and this is just off the top of my head from what I can remember reading, so if you need to do this google the process first just in case I missed something
And yes, you can run any ROM off the SD card, from ICS to MIUI to CM7 to Sense.

Guys, there was time in HD2 BEFORE hspl existed

IF you are technically sound and IF you have some patience, look up HD2 goldcard. There were a few common goldcard images somewhere - this is a hit or miss for you as to create a goldcard for your phone, you need the USB of your phone. Since we can't go with that, try the different images - and hope one of them works. Repeat the following steps with different goldcards until one of them clicks or until you run out of them.
Once you have a goldcard in place, look for cLK 1.5 RC1 from Rick_1995. This version of cLK includes clockworkmod. Place the leoimg.nbh file in the root of SD Card, power on the phone with volume down. If all goes well, the leoimg.nbh will flash, which means you will have cLK bootloader with Clockwordmod recovery.
Read up how to create partitions without a PC (and hence without using USB) using cLK 1.5, and you should be good to go.
Important Note: I have never used a gold card to flash cLK 1.5 on my phone. A gold card disables ROM ID checks, and was used in the good ol' days to flash stock HTC ROMs on carrier branded HD2 phones. The same may or may not apply for flashing cLK 1.5, give it a try - this is the only chance of ever getting NAND Android on your phone.
If the goldcard method did not work, see if you can buy another HD2 with the motherboard working (example, screen broken but booting) and replace the motherboard to get a working USB port. Or stick to Android from SD Card, follow @clio94's instructions - just make sure you have .50 radio, or flash a stock rom with a .50 radio using the leoimg.nbh method.

You`re right.For european hd2 model the only stock rom with radio .50 is the latest v3.14 that includes radio 2.15.50.14
so if his hd2 doesnt have hspl and no .50 radio he will find under battery the serial number of his device and then flash from sd card the properly 3.14 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and he will be able to run android from sd

Install Android ROM Without SD Card?

Hi there,
I have an HD2 here that I wish to put an Android ROM on. It previously had an old version of SlimRom, but when I flashed that I had an SD card handy, now I don't...
It has HSPL 2.08, Radio 2.15.50.14, and is currently on cLK 1.5.1.6, though I have been swapping between that and MAGLDR to find anyway to flash a ROM. It currently has TWRP on it, though CWM has been on. My dilemma is that I need to install a ROM .zip from the phones internal storage, but I seem to have no way to put any files on there.
What can I do?
Thanks

well, you can use old roms that would install through magldr->usb flasher!
but i think they were all froyo!!! so i guess you have to find a microsd card!
i donno if there is any other way.
i will search and tell you if i find anything.

Get my HTC HD2 back alive

I got an old HTC HD2 for free to fiddle with. My experience with HTC is years back with the HTC Artemis / P3300 / T-mobile Compact III. In that day I flashed it, used custom roms etc. But... that knowledge sunk away the last 5 years.
So I charged the HD2 and it came alive. To end with a screen: aMAGLDR v1.13 (build feb 1 2011)
This seems to be a bootloader.
With holding down volume and power I get the rainbow screen with
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
CotullaHSPL 0x05 0x40
serial
if I connect to usb to windows 7 it is recognized and serial switches to, of course, usb. Windows 7 installed drivers but I can't assess it.
question
I have no clue if any or what ROM or OS is existing on this phone at this moment. I guess none or it was on a SD card the former owner removed (I don't know the former owner. It arrived via via). Can I find out? I tried several options in the magldr menu but to no avail.
What to do next? I just want to get it running and don't really care at this point for which OS to go.
The jargon is overwhelming. Where to start.
My guess is I have to download a custom rom (but which of the dozens..) and install it on a SD, right? And than use the magldr to load it. I googled my a** off but even for a technical person like me it's overwhelming. Main reason is we are years after te release and I feel like an internet archeolist.

So you have tried options 1 & 3 in magldr menu, and got "wph not installed" and "no boot sources" respectively? If so then you are correct, the phone was using the sdcard to boot a ROM.
I would recommend android, look for a Jellybean, NativeSD ROM. But you will need to partition your card.
If you just want to get it up and running without partitioning, look for an SD build from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev for example https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868306 I have this running on my HD2 at the moment, but looking to put another ROM on it soon since I have to send my main phone off to get fixed

Thx Robbie!

Yeah, it looks like android was installed in the phone's NAND memory.
Yes, install that SD build and just check that everything works ok, data, wifi etc

Sorry to storm the thread.
@Robbie P, Nice to see you still around
I'm trying to do the same with my HD2, it was missing a battery for the last 4 years and I finally got one.
CM11 was installed I guess, not sure which rom, but it has the blue angry android boot image,
it's Installed on the nand , with dataonext.
problem is everytime I reboot, it's like the phone was just factory reset,
and In storage, available space is 0.
the bigger problem is that the usb port is probably damaged, because I can't access it through windows 10, 7, it says Windows has stopped the device or something like that.
so repartitioning the nand is not possible through the toolkit, if partitioning is the problem.
Could you please tell me my options here,
and if you do recommend a rom, please do.
PS: my touchscreen sometimes stops responding, the touchscreen is popped a little at the right corner, is this something I can fix or not?

Thanks man
what i've found out on that thread is that he only helps to let me install a recovery, which I already have, I have TWRP installed.
Problem is that I was before had android on nand, but all recent roms I find are all run from SD, but I don't know where to start, specially that I don't want to mess with the device, at least it has TWRP
Question is do I need to do something specific to switch to NativeSD?
do you recommend a specific rom, and a procedure if possible?
Thanks again!
have a nice day.

Do you have MAGLDR or cLK installed?
iirc switch on phone then hold down power button and see what screen you get

Update:
So I've installed MAGLD, and then installed CM12.1 by macs18max
It works fine, but it's very slow.
PS: If you can guide me how to install Winmo and Android on SD together please let me know.

Hope your wife is feeling better.
in Gilbert's thread it mentions you must have hspl installed to flash android with a broken usb.
I might be wrong but flashing winmo might erase hspl, not sure. So might be irreversible.
If that's ok, you can run nativeSD and sd builds from winmo using clrcad and haret, the sd recovery can also be run from haret. There is a winmo program to boot android from a menu somewhere if you need it.

Thank you,
I've already flashed WinMo 6.5, part of reviving my HD2 was to get it working as stock again.
Yes, I guess I lost HSPL by now , and mostly I won't be able to get it back without fixing the USB, but that's OK.
I'll try android using haret, thank you again!

Actually hspl will be fine as you can confirm by switching on while holding vol down, it should show up on bootloader screen.
Good luck

Unfortunately I lost HSPL,
Thanks.
