Error 270

I really hate to make a bad first impression but...
No matter what I do I get this error. I was trying to HARDSPL the phone, I put it into boot loader mode, I installed all the .cab's . It starts the progress bar up gets to about 3% and the phone screen goes black and restarts and then ERROR 270 shows up in the RUU. I searched around but found nothing for the Herald about it. Just asking for any help as to what I can do.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried going to start/system/usb to pc and enable advanced network functionality? What rom are you running?

ok that was disabled. I enabled it, same problem.
Seems to be running Open Touch 5.0.
Just bought it off ebay.
Ok think I got it. Seems to be very hard to find a newbie guide for first timers of this sort of thing.
Found some files by ivanmmj and sifted through them. Found a USPL program that SID unlocked the phone, after that I was able to run HARD SPL, and everything was fine. Now my next step is to try to flash a ROM on it , wish me luck.
Think after all this work I'm going to try to write a guide for first timers like me to explain this stuff a little better.
If it had OpenTouch 5.0, it might have already been HardSPLed. Either way, I'm glad you found the answer yourself. It shows that you actually did your research.

That's really not a bad idea. I know I was EXTREMELY confused the first time I flashed my rom. It took me a lot of reading to finally understand RUU stood for rom update utility. You do know for some roms, it's not necessary to hard spl. I went from stock rom to open touch 3.0. What rom are you thinking about flashing to?
There's a walkthrough by me somewhere in the forums.

[Q] Cant boot android.

hi there, my hd2 has spl 3.03, radio 2.15 and ROM 3.14. from doing a bit of research on the forums I've found that i can run Android roms without needing to flash. however after trying a few different roms they all seem to freeze on the white htc screen even after leaving them go boot for around 30 mins. can anybody please help me with this issue?
appreciate any help given.
Bump.
Does anybody please have any ideas? I bought the HD2 because I thought I could run android on it...
I've tried multiple ROM and android build combinations and the only one I can get to boot up is from the minimum "energy" package. I've formatted the SD card in each case, and still no luck. I;m new at this whole process so I'm sure I'm screwing something up
Hello!! Me too, i have the same problems : Artemis v44, Rom 3.14, radio 2.15.50.14. and i have 8gb sd card. I tryed different android rom, but it's the same problems.
I continue to try....
Sorry for my bad english.
read the other threads with the same topic on the 1st couple pages...
basicly the proven way to fix it is to format the sdcard to get rid of ghosts that are left over from old data.
Does that mean a full format or Quick format? Ive try quick multiple times. And what first couple of pages are you refering/ Thanks for the response!
full format actualy wipes it, all quick does is removes file names.
you da man! Im doing a 16g......its taking a long time.....is that normal?
Well.....that didnt work. Full format on a 16g SD. Still locks up on HTC screen. Any ideas. Gonna try new SD card tomorrow.
I have the same result, use a new 8g card, android build MCCM_SE_V3.3_FroyoStone_Sense. On my first boot OK. I need to change battery and sim often. switch off and next boot stay on HTC screen forever... Found some solution saying that you must run the two "exe" within 15 sec. after boot into WM, but still doesn't work... help help
Same problem here.
Tried all the steps.
Installed HSPL2
Upgraded radio to: 2.12.50.02
Fully formatted my sd card
Tried several builds (FRG83.MCCM_IR_1.7 & desire hd2)
But it keeps on freezin at the HTC screen when booting.
Any help would be very much appreciated since I'm very much out of guesses.
have you tried deleting cmd line?
Same Problem...
Rom 3.14.407.2
SPL 3.03
Radio: 2.15.50.14

I can give you a copy of my modded system.ext2 based on mdj 1.7, maybe it will work for you. Maybe we can do it through IM. Just PM me.
By the way, what is your location and carrier? I cant see info, am using phone.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Ive formatted multiple times and have ran different Android ROMs. NOTHING. Only thing that works is the basic one provided by ENERGY. (Thanks by the way). Not that this is a bad ROM, Im just trying to learn about this stuff and its frustrating. I'm sure there is more guidance within the threads, but thats like pretty difficult if you dont know where to look
adb logcat
post it, then we can troubleshoot.
dont know how to do that? search. theres atleast 10 stickies in the forums on adb for dummies.
also, i get kinda tired of folks begging for help that cant even do simple stuff like fill out location, sig line etc... come on throw us a bone.

[Q] 6.5 to Android USB flasher problem.

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.

[Q] Urgent help needed please

Hi, I need some help from you guys, I'm a noob in these things, anyway I was on Windows mobile 6.5 (Not a T-mobile) , and thought about changing into an android. I found some tutorials on youtube, and tryied to do It exactly as It said. Ok, so I found this video on youtube with a link on It, I clicked It, which directed me to one website. I installed the Hard HSPL folowing the instructions, then It said to install a Windows Mobile ROM, I downloaded and installed "Chucky Droid Rom" and now my phone Is like in between the Windows and Android, some kind of weird screen like theres no OS on it. Then it says to download and put Android Rom into my SD card, after downloading "FroyoStone_Sense_V2", I also deleted everything from the SD card except the Android directory. After i push CLRCAD, I start "haret", but it just shows me very little text on top of the screen, which fades away in like 5 seconds. After that i get "Sleep of Death" the screen just keeps black, unless i restart my phone. I tryied to wait for like 40minutes hoping it will start somehow, but the situation didn't change... So can somebody please help me? How do i boot my phone to android, what should I do to get that penguin with a lot of flashing text on my phone instead of this "Sleep of Death" What am I doing wrong? Thanks for answer guys.
What is your intention with running Android, do you just want to experiment with it and use it as a dual boot, ie still have winmo and then boot to Android, or would you like to replace winmo with Android? If the first option, then you will need to flash a full winmo rom as AFAIK ChuckyDroid is an extremely light rom that basically just allows you to boot to an Android rom.
If your intention is to only run Android then you should be looking at the NAND Android roms as this replaces winmo totally and the phone boots straight to Android. If you would like to do this, then follow the link in my signature on Flashing NAND roms, it is a very good tutorial and gives you step by step instructions on what to do.
Does it work on European HD2? Because i think i have the problem, because my HD2 is not a T-mobile and i did everything as it said step by step, which would give directions for a T-mobile. I think thats the issue to the problem...

The process is practically the same the only difference is that with NAND TMOUS get more storage then EU HD2, unless you have EXT partition on SD card. Anyway what radio are you currently running this could be why android wont run off SD card.
Ricey
Thanks for the help guys, after I installed the correct radio it works perfectly.

[Q] whats the easiest way to install android

Hi, I have the hdc hd2 with spl 3.03.0000 xe, and radio 2.15.161.3.
You maybe able to tell by that that im new to this, but want to install android as i dont like windows 6.5. I've managed to install a stock windows rom with the information i've learned here. But now i need help.
I want to install froyo or gingerbread as ive used these before on other phones.
So what is the easies way to do it and wheres the best place to get the rom from.
Please try to make it as simple as possible, Thanks.
It depends, do you want NAND Android or are you happy with running SD Android? Basically, if you want SD Android it couldn't be simpler. Just go to the SD section, download a build, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card and hit CLRCAD then HARET in the file manager. If you want NAND Android it's still pretty straightforward. Follow this guide and you should be fine. If you find even this guide too complex try using the NAND Toolkit. If you can't use that, don't bother flashing NAND Android and stick with SD Android.
Have you tried using Google? <<< I'm flaming.
Why didn't you look for the Newbies' Guides that are floating everywhere? they will guide you from the moment you pay for your phone till you are welcomed with Android's welcome screen. <<<I'm trying to be nice.

Edit v1.1:
lol, I guess you're right, It's a double win . Furthermore, I just couldn't b.a. to look for a recent guide, I simply made a quick google about guides for hd2-android and this came up, didn't really check it
Next time, I'll be faster ..... and use bigger words

Muahahahaha, I win Also, you linked an outdated guide for the DFT Stock desire build, so I double win (if that's possible)
Thanks guys after more reading and searching i think i should go the nand root.
This means i need hspl on it it first and i can only install this if i have spl 1.42.0000. Mine says spl-3.03.0000. It also says installing a stock rom will roll this back. I've installed stock win rom yesterday and it didnt touch the spl.
Can i still install hspl with this or do i need it?
Is there a list of available roms on this site?

*sigh* did you read Marvlesz's post about Google? Download HSPL4 and use it to flash HSPL 2.08, no ROM downgrade is necessary. Basically after you've done that it's as simple as flashing MAGLDR, CWM and your ROM (and trust me, all of that won't take you more than 30 minutes at the very most).

Check your device manager did u see mobile device? and is it working?
if not try to Reinstall the WMDC driver?
I used to have this problem too after i reinstall the driver the phone will be detected again.
However if u still can't connect the phone to your PC (it's driver problem, i think).
Try task 29 Change to cLK for me it fixed everything. (using HD2 toolkit is easiest way)
Sorry for being a bit dumb here but stuck again.
I've downloaded 4 roms-
danik supersonic v1.0 lite
boxmax.s3.5v8.0.magldr
boxmax.s3.5v8.5.magldr
boxmax.s3.5.v8.5.haret.sd
unzipping the first 3 provide no DAF.exe or install.exe, so stuck there.
unzipped the last and copied to sd card and the phone just stalls on the htc quietly brilliant screen.
What can i try next?

Which guide did you follow? The one I posted or the one which Marvlesz posted? Use the one I posted because the one he posted is outdated. You install CWM then flash the ROM as a zip file. I really have no clue how somebody can find it so difficult to follow simple instructions: DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, NOT AN SD ROM. You've said that you want a NAND ROM and then you try to flash an SD build? At least have some common sense, please. Unless you have a problem which cannot be solved by reading in the future I refuse to give any more help, because it appears to be hopeless
thanks again i've learned alot more tonight, got my first flash done just waiting for it to load. Last question before i leave you alone Is there a way to tell the difference between which mods are CWM and which wont work.

Basically all ROMs use CWM, other than the DFT Stock Desire ROM. For everything else, just download the MAGLDR version of the ROM if there is one (many ROMs automate MAGLDR/cLK), change your system partition to the required size and flash the ROM.
hi tried downloading 6 roms now
DFT_LEO_NAND_Android
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Magldr
For.user.Nand.v8.x
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Haret.SD
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.0.Magldr
DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Android_2.3.5_Danik_Supersonic_v.1.0_Lite
Put all of them on the memory card and it only recogognises the Danik one when i go to choose zip from sd card.
When i try to load that it goes through ok till i reboot then it freezes at the HTC screen.

Follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7 شبر بـ شبر and you should have Android by the end of its steps.
(btw, post reported)
I've said thanks before for his help. Ive asked for the difference between mods and how to differenciate them, i cant work out out why only 1 out of 6 is recognised. And i've downloaded the magdlr versions as suggested.
Then he calls me f*cking stupid. Think i have every right to be p*ssed off.
What do you mean by "Difference between mods" ? All mods come in a .zip package that is flashed in CWM.
When you download something (any mod, rom, kernel or anything) off the NAND section (this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928 ) it is going to be a flashable CWM. (Unless noted)
But when you download something off the SD section ( this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735) it is going to be ... well ... to be put on the sd without flashing.
Is this what you are asking for ?

Sorry, but I have every right to call you stupid too. I even posted DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, and you go on and download ROMs from the SD section? It's frankly pathetic if you can't do that little reading, and if I were you I wouldn't bother flashing anything in the future. You're lucky you have a pretty much unbrickable device, because if you didn't I'm sure you would be sitting right there with a useless piece of hardware right now.
Thanks Marvlesz, thats got me sorted, the problem was when he said just download the "MAGLDR version", i thought anything with that in the name was the correct one. I'm not here to get into a slanging game so i'll just leave it that.
Thanks again.
