Hi all,
I updated my HD2 to the 1.61 (Turkish) software that came out a few months ago. It took me a while to get the goldcard working but all turned out ok.
I now want to upgrade the phone to a cooked ROM, but I'm stuck.
Everything I try stops at the boot loader screen.
I've tried reflashing with a stock 1.66 ROM
I've tried install HSPL.
Whichever method I use- I get as far as the phone rebooting into the bootloader- then it stick and will not go any futher. The screen reads PB8110 HX-BC, SPL-1.42.0000 XE....... then at the bottom of the screen it read 'USB'
Every upgrade program seems to be waiting for something to trigger the download.
What am I doing wrong?? Do I need to undo something from using a goldcard?
Thanks
you aren't using HSPL
as the bootloader doesn't say you are using HSPL
so either try that again or use SSPL
I've tried installing HSPL, but it never gets past the intial reboot into the bootloader.
I would have thought the HSPL app would reboot the phone into the bootloader then load a new HSPL bootloader.
I've also tried loading a stock ROM onto the phone, and it 's the same. Phone reboot into bootloader and then nothing. I end up taking the battery out and starting again.
Any ideas what's preventing the download while in the bootloader?
try to install ship rom wwe 1.43 via sdcard. leoimg.nbh.
then install hspl.
extract the nbh file from wwe ship rom, rename the ruu.nbh file to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of your sdcard , make sure its fat32 formatted.

HI
1. Get the device into bootloader
2. Connect the cable the device says USb
3. Install HSPL.exe (If you r pc is running on Vista or Windows 7 then Right click and run as administrator)
Hopefully will install HSPL
Then install any rom you like ( But read the rom thread about requirements ie: new radios)
Good luck
So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.
phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.
Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.
Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.
get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again
yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state
Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?
So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet
What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first
Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?
ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.
Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme
What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?
All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM
I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom
Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...
Hi, I just got my HTC HD2 back from repair. Before I sent it, I had a problem reflashing to stock rom before sending it in, and stock HSPL... when I turn the power on, all I get is a white triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle...i thought if i sent it in like that, they would help me restore it but they didn't....how do i get my phone to work again ]:
enter bootloader, flash a compatible stock rom. phone should be fine.
whilst in bootloader take note of what spl says.
Everytime I try to flash a ROM, it gives me the ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID error...
right now my phone is stuck on the bootloader screen...it says
HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
and if i take out my SD card, when I turn the power on, i get the triangle exclamation mark ]:
I take it its a stock rom you are trying to flash?
I'm not positive which is the stock rom for my phone. It's the HTC Leo HD2 T8585...I remember it being 1.66 but i'm not positive. I downloaded
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
still the same error :|
i also tried
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
and
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
all give me the same error :|
The Invalid Vendor ID error means that the rom you are trying to flash is not meant for your phone and the ones you are using are for a different vendor/operator/area than the one who supplied your phone. You either need to find the correct rom or else you need to install HSPL in order to flash any rom you wish.
You current spl is 1.42.0000 so trying to flash roms based on 3.14 will definitely not work as will most of the 1.66 based roms, as unless you use HSPL the rom needs to match the spl version on the device.
Try looking here and concentrate on the 1.48 or 1.43 roms
You can of course also try going to the HTC site for your area, entering your device S/N and try to download the rom for your device.
I just finished downloading and tried
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
and
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
...no luck..
i also went on HTC site..tried 4 different rom updates but when i enter my serial it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device" for all of them...
if its any help, it was like this because i remember doing something with using my SD card and taking a file and changing it to LEOIMG.nbh...
forget all that, and forget what i just sent you in PM.
you have spl 1.42.0000, so, get hspl2 (see lilnk in my sig) enter bootloader, run hspl2.exe (right click it, 'run as administrator')
choose, say, 1.66.hspl (it will automatically offer you 1.42.hspl, you can change it in the dropdown, or leave it as 1.42.hspl, it really doesnt matter)
when the phone restarts, quickly press and hold volume down, the phone will re-enter bootlader, flash a rom, any rom, over USB, so long as it isn't a 3.14 rom.
report back.
ah crap... I got everything working again after installing HSPL again before you posted...then i flashed a rom...and realized that HTC didn't fix my touchscreen problem so I have to send it in for repair...AGAIN. so I tried to remove HSPL AGAIN so I don't void the warranty...now i'm stuck at almost the same situation except it says SPL 3.03.0000
...and now i get a exclamation mark with a traingle but this time, under it, it says "Software update failed. Please try again."

well, that will be fine for warranty, because its a stock spl.
Basically, it sounds like what you just did was use hspl to flash the 3.14 rom from sd card, cos that lets the flash start, but it applies spl 3.03 which then checks teh rom and finds it doesn't match, and so fails. If hspl wasn''t there, it wouldn't let you get even that far.
So, you have spl 3.03 and no working rom.
You need your actual stock rom, not just 'a' stock rom, (im not scrolling to see if you posted it yet, but if its operator branded, you gotta get the right one) doesn't matter which version, 1.43, 1.66, 1.72, whatever. get that and flash it. USB should be fine, but if it fails go for leoimg on sd card.
Failing that, if you can get hold of another working winmo phone for afew minutes, you can probably revive it (and indeed flash teh 3.14 rom if you like) with a goldcard.
EDIT - oh, does your phone only work with one sim? if so, your first stop would be try teh branded one for that operator.
I think I'm just going to leave it if it's fine for warranty and call HTC to ask them if they can reset everything for me...i don't want to mess it up even more ]:
ahh well theres the unknown see, , cos in theory the only way you can GET that stock spl on your phone is if you have been playing with hspl (or maybe if you're an electronics engineer / 1337 mobile hacker, heh), , now if they want to be funny, perhaps they could call your bluff, , , no one has reported anything like that to my knowloedge, and it doesn't break any unauthorised software rules, so who knows.
i don't remember which one my stock rom was...i THINK its 1.66 but its not working... :\..
I bought this phone in China seperately without a contract so its unlocked/not branded.. its the T8585 model...
that's why you need to spend some time on the htc website, try to download roms using your serial, when it lets you have one, that will tell you your original stock.
When I enter my serial, they all say "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"... \:
hehe, , then you are on the wrong htc region website. all the roms are there, somewhere.
could always phone htc and ask them which is the stock rom for your serial.
Nice, okay, the 1.66 that I downloaded from Middle East & Africa-English Country on HTC site worked after entering my serial...Now I have SPL 1.42.0000 .
Now I just gotta wait another 2-3 weeks before I get my phone back from HTC ]:
Thanks for the help! Appreciate it.
Hey XDA
Hope someone out there have got some good advice. We have some HD2s where i work and i have been sent one that is acting kinda weird.
I simply can not get it to flash a rom (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_DAN_3.14.403.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) - we only use normal HTC roms. When i try to flash it nothing happens, it boots into the bootloader and just sits there at 0% until i disconnect the cable, if i dont it will sit there untill it runs out of battery. Tried a few times now and same result.
i have also just tried a restore, to see if its the internal flash rom that is broken and the restore also fails. My own HD2 restores in like a few seconds but this one just sits there again, like when i try to flash a rom to it.
So is it totally dead or is there something i should try?
Have you tried to use task29 (via computer) , then flash (via nbh) the htc rom?
hmm just tried task29 and it did nothing, it booted the phone to the bootloader but no progress screen did show up. Tried it again and the phone just shut off again after showing the bootloader for a few seconds.
beginning to think this phone is toast.
Gonna try a HSPL update later and just flash a non HTC rom to see if that works.

HSPL 2.08 & reflash original HTC ROM via PC USB.
Do you get any error codes from the flash utility ?
could be CID related but you should see error code.
Yes, trying it with HSPL seems like a good idea to me, too.
Because then you can also try other ROMs.
will try this stuff on monday - i just cba to do more work today
thx for the advice
Build a gold-card and flash from the SD slot. If that doesn't work, put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, boot the phone and try flashing again immediately in it's chilled state. If it get's ANY further, you have a bad overheating NAND and need a new main board.
got HSPL2.08 flashed and a Dutty 3.14 rom but phone refuses to reboot sometimes and boot just shows the white HTC background and does not show the radio/os versions in the bottom. So i am just gonna toss this one out, since its can not be serviced (supplier has gone bust).
But still havn't gotten any error codes from the phone or flash programs, other then "USB connection failed". So i think its nand is kinda broken now.

first, you can't run 3.14 roms on anything except spl 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
Second it isn't booting because it almost certainly needs an updated radio, 2.15.50 for instance. You probably still have a 2.xx.51 from the original stock, and so wont show rgd screen till you change radio, won't run smoothly till you correct the spl with hspl4

Put phone into bootloader manually, don't use front mounted USB ports, be sure and update win mo dev center to latest ver ..... all the usual USB connection error advice. Trying another PC with a different windows variant often helps if its available.

hmm you sure? The dutty download page says -
Things to Know how about my ROMs:
* Radio 2.15 Recommended
* HSPL 2.08 Recommended
* HSPL 3.03 doesn't support 576 RAM enabled
But i'll try to flash a 3.03HSPL and find out what happens. I did flash 2.15.50.14 radio before i flashed the Dutty rom. But gonna give it one last try.

Have tried two pc's now, both running Win7 32bit - its all we have now.
Ahhh gitcha, then the dutty rom mustnt be 100% 3.14 rom (I didn't check) it must use a 2.x base to enable 576ram.
In which case, if stock roms don't flash but custom did, it could be stuck radio syndrome, which you can test for with (correct, get it using your serial from HTC.com) stock rom flash from sd card (4gb or smaller, fat32). Look out for "rsa radio fail" or similar on screen.
Edit, oh you said you flashed a radio, and that went ok?

yeah HSPL2.08, HSPL3.03 and Radio is flashing just fine. The roms i have tried also flashes perfect its just will not boot afterwards. I can usually do a hardreset on it and it will boot one time. If you then shut it off and try to turn it on again it fails with the white HTC screen again.
I am toally clueless on what is wrong with it, so gonna try to figure out if we have some kind of warrenty left on it and get it switched over to another one.
Dear Dev's / members
I have problem with this HD2 and cannot find a solution yet!
first thing first. is this a Tmobile of Eu mobile?
i tried flashing factory RUU but after 1% it gives an error saying Radio failed.
tried flash quite a few radio's but still after 100% it says radio fail.
tried flashing from USB cable
tried flashing from SD with leoimg.nbh
no luck.
the guy was using android on it until yesterday. may be he tried to flash a wrong Rom which brick the phone. now only white screen appears.
i can go to bootloader mode but no luck in flashing any thing at all.
Looks like EU model as no logo near earpiece.
if also has white markings on call & end key that would help confirm EU.
If trying to install .nbh file from SD it will overwrite HSPL so check current SPL status in bootloader.
If still on HSPL 2.08 try flashing an NRG WM6.5 ROM & see what happens (they have no radio so if completes then try radio flash if needed, try via USB them SD if USB fails.
Do you get an error code when it fails via RUU ?
thanks for helping mr. B
the error i get is (270) and yes it have white markings on all the buttons. so its confirm EU model. by NRG rom you mean Energy Roms? i tried earlier the energy Rom but no luck. after 1% it gives error.
cannot try mtty method as i'm on windows 7 and in windows 7, it's not showing the USB port. it's radio is corrupted. i think someone must have flashed a wrong Rom.
What standard ROM have you got ? if it a 3.14 rom try connecting HD2 via USB & use HSPL4 toolkit to install HSPL 3.03 & if that installs then try the 3.14 ROM via USB & RUU.
Also eliminate simple issues such as lead & USB port by switching port & using a different USB lead.
Windows 7 64bit ? worth trying another PC & 32bit if can as WMDC drivers on 64bit can be a pain for flashing ...
windows 7 32bit. tried flashing hspl 4 and it says complete but in bootloader it shows 2.08 only. i guess gold card method will solve the problem but it's too complicated. any other suggestions?
i would search for task29 and format the phone back to virgin default then download a windows rom from htc via the downloads page on there website for the phone ,then if it works re task29 it then put android on it with the htc hd2 tool kit witch has every thing other than rom (all u need to do is task29 it then go back to the boot loader and run the ruu rom)

No do not run a Task 29 the device. I say this for two reasons, one if you flash the Stock Windows Mobile ROM via RUU the RUU will run a Task 28 before installing the ROM witch is pretty much the same as a Task 29. The second reason is that if you run a Task 29 it will remove the current ROM on the device so it will not have a working ROM anymore. If after the Task 29 you can not get another ROM installed on it the you will not be able to use the device at all anymore.
why not he thinks its bricked so there is no difference if he cant get a rom on it

No the device is not bricked, a bricked device will not even turn on at all, no vibrations no nothing.
At jacktackle, try to find the earliest stock Rom RUU for your HD2 and try to flash it. It is possible you have what is reffered to as a stuck radio.The only fixI have seen for this is to flash a older ROM version with a older SPL version. If the earliest ROM version does not work start working your way up one version at a time and you might get lucky and get one that will flash.
thanks for all the help guys. but nothing worked. tried flashed old ruu's but reboots at 1% this radio is screwed up. hspl 2.08 is not upgrading nor downgrading. sd card update not working. i guess thats it. will give it back to him so that he can showcase it
first time ever i'm un successful. bad luck! may this LEO rest in peace. 'amen'

Before you give it back you can find some of the old test ROMs for the EU or for the TMOUS depending on which version of the HD2 it is. Just make sure if it is a TMOUS that you do not flash a rom version that has a 51 radio with it. Just look at the RUU name and the radio version is in the name. If that does not work then the only fix will be to replace the mainboard cause JTAG would not fix the problem.
