[Q] Can't flash stock rom after flashing MAGLDR

Ok guys please help me since I couldn't find the answer
I installed on my hd2:
-HSPL 2.08
-Radio 2.15.50.14
-Magldr 1.13
-CMR
First of all I noticed that I dont have to hold the power button to get into the magldr menu.
I couldn't get into Boot As SD so I wanted to flash winmo stock rom from bootloader. Unfortunately I can't do that. Even tried HR. Is there any solution to flash stock ROM
Any help would be greatly appreciated

While your Pbone is off hold the volume down button and momentaraly press the power (end) button this should make the bootloader come up (tri color screen). Once in bootloader plug your USB cable into the computer and phone. wait until you see USB in the white bottom bar of the phone screen and then run the RUU or exe wich ever one you have for the ROM you want to flash, this is for Windows Mobile ROMs only though.
If you want you can use a micro SD card to flash the ROM also. You need a 4G or smaller SD card to do this though the 16GB card that comes with the TMOUS HD2 generaly will not work but you can try it. Take and find the RUU_signed.nbh file in the Rom folder you have, it may not look exactly like that but it will have RUU and .nbh in it. Rename the file leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card and repeat the process to go into bootloader and as soon as you see searching appear on your phone screen release the volume up button and the ROM will flash it just might take alittle longer for the ROM to complete the flash this way as compared to using a computer to flash.

Thank you for you reply After several attempts I managed to get my winmo back on
Two questions: So do I still have MAGLDR and CMR after flashin' that stock rom ?
I can see in the bootloader that I'm back on SPL 3.03. Does that mean that I'm back on warranty and HSPL2 is uninstalled?
Thanks!

Yes you lost MAGLDR, HSPL, and CMR when you flashed the stock ROM. If bootloader is showing SPL 3.O3.OOOO then you are stock once again You can always be double sure of this by downloading HSPL 4and run it, when it ask you what version you want to install select 3.03.0000. The ones with SPL and the x.xx.0000 are all stock SPLs but 3.03.0000 is the latest stock SPL.

Thanks you've calmed me down

Thanks so much for the 4g micro sd card suggestion. I was really starting to think I'd stuffed my phone. I had been trying to flash a stock rom using a 16g micro sd card & of course having no luck. So glad I found this thread, keep being a superhero

Bricked or?

Hi there
I got an HD2 from a friend (he bought off ebay) and seems to just boot to the Tmobile sticking together logo and won't boot.
I don't think it charges as well...
there was no lines (radio?) at the bottom of the Sticking Together pink square screen...
is this phone bricked? or can I still flash a rom?

Ok try this, turn the phone off then hold the low volume botton n the power botton at the same time, n if it takes u to the bootloader then u r good, just search on how to install a rom of ur choise, good luck

Well the fact that it will even turn on means it is not bricked. A bricked HD2 will not even turn on the most it will do is flash tihe led light and vibrait a couple of times.
Follow the instructions of the above post and pull up bootloader, if bootloader comes up you can save the HD2. Depending on if you want to flash a official srock ROM or a custom ROM to the HD2 will dictate your next step.
If you want a official stock ROM then just download and flash the official update from T-Mobile.com just type in HTC HD2 update in the search box on the home page and you will find it. You will have to enter the IMEI number to download it wich you can find this number behind the battery. To flash it connect the HD2 to a computer via USB cable while in bootloader and wait for the serial in the white bar at the bottom of the bootloader screen to change to USB and the computer to show it recognizes the HD2 then run the update utility and follow all the on screen instructions.
If you want to flash a custom ROM as in custom Windows Mobile, NAND Andriod ROM, or Windows Phone 7 ROM then you will have to flash HSPL to the HD2. Download HSPL4 and flash 2.08 HSPL if hou want to flash a NAND Andriod ROM as MAGLDR only supports 2.08 HSPL. Or a Windows Phone 7 Rom, or flash 3.03 if you just want to flash a custom Windows Mobile ROM.
Now if you want a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 you will have to download MAGLDR and flash it to the HD2.
If you want a custom Windows Mobile ROM download the ROM of your choice and fladh it using the .exe or RUU wich ever one the ROM has. Note do all flashing of what I have previously mentioned via the method I mentioned before.
If you are wanting to flash a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM then download the ROM of your coice and flash it using MAGLDR and the instructions of the ROM developer in thread for the ROM.
Now this is very important. I see from the picture you have a T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2 so no matter what you do, do not flash a ROM with a radio version that reads like these 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any radio that is x.xx.51.xx they will brick/kill a TMOUS HD2.

I would recommend flashing a stock T-Mobile ROM, since that appears to be the flavor of the phone. This will install the correct radio. Once the phone is working, continue as per normal for flashing the ROM. You will have to reinstall hardspl.

thanks for the info guys! i really appreciate the support!
it seems like it won't read the USB... is the port busted?

try this:
1) download your stock ROM.
2) put it on your SD card via a card reader, you want an .NBH file.
3) rename the file LEOIMG.NBH
4) make sure the phone is off, make sure your SD card is back in your phone.
5) hold down and power
6) it should go to a tri-color screen and say something about flashing the image, hit power to confirm
7) it should flash no problems.

Have exactly the same problem with my friends phone.
Its a TMOUS and sticks on the same boot screen.
He screwed it up when trying to install Android NAND on it.
I can enter bootloader And I have managed to get rid of MAGLDR and CWM.
I have HSPL 3.03 installed on it, but when I try to install the latest ROM from TMOUS it fails at 8% and tells me that
'ERROR 290: INVALID COMMAND
This update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility'
Tried copying the relevant file to the SD card and renaming it leoimg.nbh but the install fails HERE aswell with the error:
"RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail"
I managed to install an energyrom onto it, but it wouldnt go past the initial boot screen
Any help appreciated

Try running a Task 29 on your friends HD2. This willtotally clean out the NAND memory of the HD2 and reformat it, kinda sounds like that is what is needed to be done. He may have messed the NAND memory format up when he was trying to install the Andriod. You will have to reflash a Windows Mobile ROM after you run the Task 29 as it will not ha e a ROM on the phone then. You will not have to reflash HSPL cause it will not remove it.

It seems that the problem is RADIO related. I can task 29, and I can install The latest Energyrom, but I CANT install a radio.
There is no radio ON the phone at the minute it seems. When I try to do a radio install, it asks me if I want to go from version ' ' to the update I am using.
None of the installers see a radio on the phone, and trying to install the radio always fails at 96%. This would seem to be the same if I try to install the official TMOUS latest ROM with radio from SD Card. It fails at the radio install part.......
Maybe time for a new thread for this one.......

[Q] Possible Brick?? Some help if possible

Hey Guys,
I have NFI what happened to my phone but I think its bitten then dust..
I've been running NAND Android builds for a while now, the phone has been a bit funky for a few weeks now so I wanted to completely wipe and start form scratch..
So I download Task29 a new radio and ROM from the links in the ROM page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951) and ran Task29 like I have multiple times before.
The install went fine, and the phone rebooted like its meant to but now its stuck on the HTC screen, I can't boot in MAGLDR or HSPL...
So, is it borked??

suitable radio? suitable spl? both are critical. magldr wont work without 2.08.hspl and a ..50.. radio

The radio that was installed on before running TASK29 was, Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.
It already had HSPL v2.08 and MGLDR 1.3, already installed.
As I said, I've flashed new WinMo and Android ROM's hundreds of times, I mean I dont normally run Task29 before every install but I have multiple times in the past.
I only ran Task29 today as the phone was being really bad so I though a clean install might be the best way to go.

hmm, not sure what to suggest without sounding patronising, hehe,
there are a few people that cant seem to get magldr to start, for no good reason,
reflash the radio (just in case) manually go check the spl in bootloader again (just in case it doesnt say 2.08.hspl,, sometimes what you know for a fact is true actually isnt) and as for magldr, well its susceptible to all the usual flashing issues, , run as administrator, try every usb port, turn off your firewall,,,, try another pc even, , in fact if you have another pc available, try that first.

Thanks for the replies, but I can't get it to boot into MGLDR or SPL thats my problem.
When I turn it on it loads up the 1st HTC logo and hangs.
Is there another way that I can flash a radio of I cant boot into SPL???

I've read something about this before. I don't think it's an easy fix and it may be best to try go back to where you bought it and try get a replacement or send it in to HTC. I'm not too sure if they'll know that you have HSPL installed. I'd say highly likely they will. Have you tried hard resetting? Or can you not get to that screen?
If you want to find more on this just google "HD2 Wsod" or "HD2 White screen of death". You'll find lots if people with the same thing.
My HD2 has something similar but I can get to HSPL but it stays at a blank white screen with normal power on.
What happens when it's off snd you plug in the USB? Does it try start because of MAGLDR or just charge/do nothing?

I know you said you ha e flashed hundreds of times, so you should know this. I am not being patronizing here either, but I will say it anyway. You have gwo different ways to flash a new radio, but both require gou to put gour HD2 into bootloader.
To put your HD2 into bootloader turn the device off and then turn it back on but hold the volume down button wbile it is booting and it will go to bootloader.
Whilr jn bootloader connect via USB cable to gour computer wait until you see USB the wbite bar of bootloader then you can flash the radio, a Win Mo ROM, HSPL, or MAGLDR just wich ever one uou want to flash at that time.
You can use a 500MB to 4GB SD card to flash the radio as well as a Win Mo ROM. You just rename the.nbh file to leoimg.nbh for the radio or the ROM and copy it to the root of your SD card. plasce the SD card back in the device. Put the device into bootloader but do not let go of the volume down botton until you see search hinge on the screen of the device. Be aware though if you flash a official ROM this way it will overwrite everything HSPL and all so you whind up with a stock HD2 again.

Stupid question: you are holding down the volume down button to boot into HSPL right?

[Q] Urgent Help Needed

So i tried flashing an android ROM but its stuck on the AD recovery go go go screen.
I also wanna task 29 but I don't know how to get to the bootloader from MAGLDR 1.3
someone help please !

ummm i dunno if magldr can switch you into the bootloader, but doesn't the regular way to get to the bootloader work?
regular way:
1. make sure phone is OFF...take out the battery and plug it back in to make sure
2. hold down the volume down button
3. tap the power/end call button to power on the device
4. keep holding down volume down button
...bootloader should appear!
i guess you are a senior member so you must be looking for something else, it can't be as simple as above, is it?

Mate,
how about flashing stock rom via SD? dont use your old sd, get the new one, and try to flash the stock rom.
If you can pass that, then you can go back to try magldr again
or else,
I think it may be a hardware issue related, may be the volume down button is damaged. If this the case, since you are in android nand, you cant flash stock rom from USB sync
I hope that is not the case though
goodluck

Hey blackashsid, sorry to hear you are having troubles. Without being able to get to the SPL bootloader you will not be able to flash any .nbh file to your HD2. This translates to you not being able to flash a Windows Mobile ROM stock or custom, a different radio version, splash screen, any HSPL or SPL, or cLK. And yes flashing via SD card is no good to you without the SPL bootloader.
Option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR will only flash CWM or A DAF ROM.
Your issue is somewhat strange to me, I really don't understand why you are having this issuer unless it is hardware related.

yeah its strange !
its like i am stuck with MAGLDR
and ders no way to uninstall it or to get to the bootloader for a WM ROM !!
any ideas what is causing this ??
i will really appreciate it !
EDIT: also i noticed all of my DAF ANdroid ROMS get stuck at the splash screen...only WP7 made it !! i want android !
any reason why this happend ?

if you installed wp7 then it isnt an issue wth the phone, its quite possible the roms you are trying to install

Download again the rom you want to use... and make sure you read installing process - every android rom has his specific installing process - clockwork , ext3 ,ex4 etc etc.
I hope you solve your prolem

[Q] Flashing Problem

Hi all,
I would like to ask someone who are willing to lend me a hand.
Here comes the problem:
1. I wanna flash a NAND Android into my HD2 (not Tmous)
2. I have already flashed with HSPL2 with selection of 2.08 HSPL.
3. It went through to Windows Mobile again, nothing goes wrong untill when I am trying to flash with Magldr Bootloader with ROM Update Utility.
4. It went through again, after that the phone reboot itself and it should be displaying Magldr bootloader instead of HTC green logo stuck at the WHITE SCREEN.
5. I've tried several ways to solve it including soft-reset but still nothing happen with the same problem which is the green HTC logo stuck at the white screen.
6. Even Hard-reset with factory default reset I have tried, the process went through, but still the same problem again (YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I MEANT).
7. So, I tried another LeoAdvanceRUU.exe which @HD2Owner had posted few months ago, the flashing process worked through but it stucked at the 0% with HTC logo at BLACK screen.
8. I kept on trying with another ROM or Radio Flashing again, again and again and it is still stucked at 0% !!! (GOSH !! I'm going to be crazy)
I really hope someone can help me out of this as I am very appreciate to those who are willing to help me. I need the phone to deal with my daily usage, please the 'PRO's out there.. ><
Thanks in advance.
P/S: The Tri-Color mode showed PB8100 - SS-BC

you havent yet flashed a correct radio. Non tmous radios (..51.. radios) wont allow magldr to start

flash 2.15.50 radio
magldr will now start

erm, I also tried to Flash the Radio ROM, but it will stucked at HTC logo with Black Screen and also 0% wont move either..

In that case double check the spl version in bootloader. Quite often people flash "2.08.0000" by mistake instead of "2.08.hspl"
(You did instal hspl before trying the radio, right? Radios news hspl too)

yea i did install the HSPL before flashing the radio and it is done with 2.08 HSPL
but what do u mean by Radios news HSPL?
when I am flashing the radio in the bootloader, I used the common flashing technique which is using the CustomRUU with the RUU_Signed.nbh file which contains Radio 2.14.50 and then the only the problem came out.
by means every ROM that I am trying to flash, It will still stuck at 0% Black Screen with HTC logo..

oops, radios NEED hspl , lol, darned predictive txt!
ok, so sounds more like usb timeout,
enter bootloader, connect usb, count to 5, run customruu.
If that still wont work, you can flash radios from sd, just like roms. Put teh ruu_signed.nbh onto sd card, renamed leoimg.nbh, reboot into bootloader, phone will see the .nbh and flash it.

erm, is the flashing will do it automatically itself ?? because I am still not able to boot into whatever OS yet. And do i need to connect the USB when the leoimg.nbh flashing if its working itself ??

no, no usb needed, put the leoimg on the sd card, card into phone, power on phone holding voldown, bootloader finds the leoimg on the card and starts the flashing process.
