[Q] Rom Update Utility - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi all
I have put the HD2 back to the stock ROM and want to get a NANDROID rom on.
Ive D/L MAGLDR and im trying to run the rom update utility but it just refuses to find a connection with the phone. Ive set it to connect as Active Sync and as a mass storage and ive tried the various different ports on my laptop. Can anyone help please

Try boot HardSPL by holding down the volume key while pressing turn on then flash the MAGLDR RomUpdateUtility from there.

Try another usb cable if you have one.

Try installing HTC Sync and this will install drivers for the phone. I can't post external links right now but do a Google search for "htc sync".

i thought if you put stock rom back on, you need to go through the process of putting hardspl back on first

$100 Reward if can fix my T8285

Long story short my phone worked fine for months. Went to a 1.56 Rom active sync stopped working. I have already tried everything associated with AS problem, everything. Went to get it repaired at HTC America in Houston, TX there gay and dont support T8285. I have tried flashing via memory card but I seem to be retarded doing it that way. Engineer said mini usb slot works fine, cooked rom may have corrupted AS. Customer service would not let him fix my phone because it was an "aussie version". I just want the phone to sync is that too much to ask? Anyway $100 bucks to anyone that can make it work paid via paypal immediately.

Personally I think your mad offering $100. I'm sure most people would have hepled you for free, including myself. I'm not after your money but offer my assistance.
Have you tried doing a hard reset? uninstalling activesync & reinstalling it?
Flashing different rom. If you can't flash through SD Card, have you tried flashing again via usb. You don't need phone sync'd
Put your phone into bootloader and then connect to pc via usb. At bottom of screen the text should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Now flash phone by running rom (cooked or stock etc) you downloaded. Put .nbh and ruu file into same folder and then open ruu file and follow instructions.
I severely doubt cooked rom affected activesync.
EDIT
As bonesy said below, you'll need either USPL or HSPL to flash 1.56+ based rom.
Full tutorial or dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ based roms can be found in cRaCKwHoRe's guide. See my signature
Turn off your phone, Take out your memory card, Plug the miniUSB in then power on (Hold volume down press power holding volume down still) This will bring up a coloured screen. Run the ROM Wrapper package exe (BlackstoneRUUWrapper) This SHOULD now install the right ROM.
Please make sure you are using a 1.56 rom with the HSPL or i think it has problems with GFX.

this is on 6.5 rom not sure about 6.1 :/
Untick Enable faster data synchronizaion, I had to do all this on works computer to update a ROM god knows why but this was my fix.
ROM Should load as should activesync now.
Please let me know if this helps
Tried to post in ure original threads but mods were moving to trash each time BAH!
Thanks to both of you guys for your suggestions. I thought I was not a noob when it came to flashing roms but once I could not do it via usb I was a whole different story. Yeah I am offering the $100 just to get people to help. I know you get slammed if you ask a question so I figured I would make it worth someone's time. I am going right now to pick it up from the repair center so I will try during my lunch in about an hour.

So I got my phone and this is what it says.
BLAC120 32M
SPL-1.56.01Olinex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and it's just red green blue and white no word on the bottom. Ran BlackstoneRUUWrapper with the nbh file that I wanted and it gave me a connection error. Now it says Seiral in the white.

Well I get it into bootloader no problem but then plug in the usb cable and nada, it says serial. So then I tried starting bootloader mode with the cabe and still nada, it does not even say serial. If I unplug it then it says serial. I have tried both ways to run the RUU Wrapper and I keep getting the usb conncetion error
serial?
Hi, please can you post a screen shot of where it says serial at boot screen?

Here yo go. This picture is with me having the device plugged in it charging fine. Then entering bootloader mode. If I unplug then it will say serial. If I dont plug in before then enter bootloader it will say serial still.
thanks
ok, that looks pretty normal,so to recap you fully powerdown the phone by taking the battery out, put the cable into both the phone and pc and the turn on holding volume down and it just sits there?, what happens when you press volume up at this point?

Only thing I was not doing was taking out the battery. Just tried that and still same screen. Nothing happens when I press the volume up button just stays there.
pc
do you have another pc to try this on to rule out an actual active sync problem?

Yeah I have been trying on my latop, home pc, and work pc and nothing same result. I have tried different usb cables, os, reinstalling, everything. Only thing I have not tried is flashing via sd card yet.
brick
its sounds like you have a corrupt spl, it is definately worth trying the sd card as it may allow you to activesync but it may then fallover when it reboots and goes into boot mode. This i where user viperbjk (see android dev thread) may be able to help as he has successfully managed to unbrick a phone.
I had this same problem but powering down and simply triggering the and spl reflash resolved it. your problem sounds different though.

problem after bad Rom installing - no USB connection

Hi, I was trying to install a Rom..
everything was ok until my HD2 restarted and end up with a colored screen but later it stops the connecting to the PC using USB.
I tried several times and never run.
now my device is showing white HTC background and nothing more.
Now I think I've deleted my original Rom and my PC stopped recognizing my HD2.
how can I reinstall the Rom again without connecting to my PC??
I am on Windows7.
Please help me
Follow the install from Micro SD section of the following FAQ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
EDIT :- You probably want to read and understand the whole FAQ since you have not made it clear whether or not its a custom rom or an official one, or if you have a HardSPL installed ..
Thank you so much
the problem solved.
I restart the device while I'm holding Volume button down.

Help Required; Screen Stuck...

Hi all,
I just did my first experiment at cooking a ROM (did some tweaking and built the ROM) using OS Kitchen. After I copied the ROM to my phone using ROM Update utility, the phone is stuck at this screen:
"Preparing the phone for first use. The Today screen....etc etc"
I am now not able to establish an active sync connection to my PC in order to load a new ROM. What can I do? Pls help...
I have installed the HSPL by jocky
Thanks in Advance
Whew!!! Got it working. For a moment, I thot I had bricked my phone. These r the options I considered:
a) Booting the phone using the mini sd card. I guess one has to use Gold Card for that but I didnt have a mini sd card reader on my PC in the first place so that option was out.
b) Next I read in the forums abt starting the phone in boot loader mode, and this is what finally worked. It seems, as an alternative to getting an activesync connection, one can connect the phone to the PC using USB and then start in bootloader mode (by pressing vol down and end call). This way, a connection via USB is established between ur phone and PC. Now flashing any ROM is just a cinch using stock roms or custom roms (using the custom RUU)
Pfew
Got stuck too and used this trick to load stock rom.
Thx a million

[Q] How to ActiveSync USB Android 2.3.2

Hello.
I have MDJ Cyanogenmod 7 v2.6 installed on my HD2.
Now i am trying to go back to windows or play with other roms and instal Magldr 1.13.
But when i try to install them. I have to use a Activesyns connection between my PDA and PC. But the only thing i can choose on my phone is USB Mass Storage (On/Off).
And then the installation fails because it can't find my phone.
How do i get a Activesync connection on Gingerbread.
Can't find it anywhere.

Considering it's early here, I'm having my coffee, I'm not going to flame you for the dumb question, you can't active sync your hd2 on android, active sync is for windows mobile only, just power down, and power back up holding the volume down button, it will go into bootloader mode, plug your usb cable and you'll see usb display at the bottom of the screen, now you should hear the phone connecting to your pc and you can run any windows mobile RUU and flash back to stock , or run task 29 and flash windows mobile.
Thanks!!! I really couldn't find it. Probaly because i was searching with the wrong thoughts.
It worked!
thank you sir...i was wondering the same mistake now i understoood

[q] htc hd2 flashing rom issue
Can anybody help me.I have MAGDLR and the Bootloader installed by a previous chap who owned the phone, all the correct versions. THe phone HD2 (T-Mobile), when I got it, had Gingerbread on,but the FM radio was not working,
so I thought an Upgrade was in order. I went to the MIUI website and downloaded the latest stable rom and followed the instructions as best as possible, but I had problems with the
Bootloader going from Serial to USB and being able to flash the rom like that. I then tried the loading the rom ZIP file to the SD card, and then using Clockwork orange recovery to
to install the ZIP file from SD card. That being said, I rebooted and the phone just stayed hung on the HTC logo screen. (And I didn't do a back up, before I started.)
I eventualy found a Jaws MIUI rom, that instaling via Clockwork Orange, worked, but it is Froyo and not a lot of stuff works very well. What is the correct procedure to install
from SD card, with Clockwork Mod Recovery? The Roms that I download, do I have to unpack the zip, do something on the files? I have read that depending on the rom that you have, when
doing a ClockWorkMod Recovery installation, that you need to have the right Size partition or image disk version of the Clockwork recovery MOD, But I can't swap and change this as my USB does not work between the phone and the PC.
I have installed active sysnc, does not work and I have tried this both on my Desktop and Laptop. As the one response suggests, Formatting your PC seems a bit extreme.
Help, Pleeeeeeeeez!
Thanks
