Tmobile HTC HD2 BOOTLOADER

hello, i was hoping someone could help me with this. I am trying to load the Android system on my phone. But it says i have to install the HSPL (HardSPL) on the phone first. I tried to do that but it asks to review the version of SPL on my phone by holding down the volume down key and check the version on the bootloader but it doesnt come up. I tried isntalling the HSLP and the HSLP2 package on this site... and didnt work. I was wondering if someone could help me on this... This phone is super glitchy and wish i can get it working a bit better. Thank you guys.

What instructions for Android are you reading? None of the real versions need HSPL at all...they all load using HaRET, an app that goes on your SD card. If you see instructions to use HSPL to get Android on your HD2, it's clearly one of the fake ones that was floating around.
Check out the thread below for all the current details on the real deal:

You have to reset your phone and HOLD the VOLUME DOWN and POWER at the same time and you will be able to check your SPL version.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem i can't get into bootlader by holding down the power button and volume down button tried and tried and tried again and all it does is come up and show the same old tmobile splash screen and from my memory of doing this before you don't see that when going into bootloader it just automatically goes into bootlader .. my question is how possible is the brick possbility of doing hardspl4

Well seeing as how majority of us do not report any situation of us bricking our phones due to flashing HSPL, I can say the possibility is almost non existent, that is if you're part of the norm of this society.
Are you sure you're holding vol down before you power up your device? Do your volume keys work with winmo/android/WP7?

[Q] MAGLDR with broken "Volume down"

I just have a big Problem and hope someone can solve this for me. Thanks in advance.
The "Volume up" and "down" key of my HD2 ist not function after i replace the touchscreen, but this phone function no problem. I want to install Android in this but have not read carefully (My big fault). After i install MAGLDR v1.11 and reboot i cant choose another option except the first one (Boot AD SD).
1. I want to install winmo again but cant take the phone comeback to bootloader (cant use the down volume).
2. I try to copy the android to microsd card but all the android in Android folder and that cant begin with booting.
So what can i do now? pls help me.

Impossible to launch Bootloader from Android, so i've no idea how you could acess to boot loader, the only one solution is that DFT release the V1.2 with bootloader option!

you are screwed. how do your buttons not work. if they are broken because of a hardware problem then why not just go ahead and get another phone why put up with that hassle forever

HTC HD2 Bootloader without volume down key

I have a HTC HD2 running Desire Froyo 2.2. My volume down key is not working. I need to flash the Original WM 6.5 rom for warranty purpose. However to do this, i have to enter bootloader using volume down and power key. Now i am in a bind, I cant get the volume down key repaired until i flash OEM, and to flash OEM i need to use the volume down key. Is there anyway I can enter bootloader without the volume down+power key method.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: There are other major issues with the phone (No GPS (Hardware Isssue), and many more to list), hence it is imperative that i send it for warranty repair.

No there is no way to enter bootloader.

maybee you can bend the power contacts or break the phone .. so it will not turn on
IF they can not turn it on .. they will not know its been hacked :/

I would rather get it fixed. If i break it, I dont think warranty covers it.

I think your best option is to take your phone to someone else and get the volume down key repaired, pay cash. Then take it to HTC for your warrenty repair for all the other problems.

I tried to get it fixed. They want a $120 for it. It may be the last resort. I am still keeping my fingers crossed, may be some solution will come to avail.

you can enter bootloader by holding the red "end call" key and select reboot, there you have the option of booting into bootloader..I dont know if the build you use have this option or not, but MDJ's 2.4 has this option.

Bootloader meaning the tri color screen... Not the magldr boot menu screen or clockwork recovery or menu thingie... Either way, without volume keys, either thing is useless to use or access.

yeah, i have the option in the shutdown menu, but it doesnt really load the bootloader. MAGDLR wont do it, I can get in to it.

I wonder if its possible to write code to enter bootloader?

This SD build by mdeejay has an option when you press reboot
it gives you the choice rebooting to bootloader.
Worth a try

A lot of builds have bootloader & recovery reboot options, unfortunately due to the hack-ish nature of our Android these never work.

I tried the SD version you suggested, it has the option, but it doesnt load the bootloader when selected. My nand rom also has that option, but doesnt work either.

Usually the RUU ROM flasher for windows mobile ROMs/Radios can load the bootloader with the phone on Windows Mobile... There should be a away to load the bootloader from Android too...

If you start to run any of the winmo RUU's it will unpack itself and one of the files is EnterBootloader.exe. Try copying this to your sd card and run it from there.

I have android running, so no activesync, hence, any ruu wont recognize the phone connected via usb.
Can I run EXE in android? How?

Nope, you can't run EXE files in Android. I think your only way to go is finding the cheapest repair center to fix that volume button of yours.

Wasn't sure if it would work, it did under winmo.
I just had to hit your thanks button because of your signature LOL

if you already have windows installed....than just plug-it in using activesync and run HSPL3... do not install it...before installing it will put ur phone in bootloader....than exit HSPL3 keep your phone pluged in and just flash wtever....radio,rom...etc....

no, dont have winmo running. I have gingerbread. Cant revert to winmo cause cant get into bootloader. catch 22.

HTC HD2 6.5 to Android back to 6.5 or 7?

I got this phone on Ebay because I am poor. It was a T Mobile unlocked that was changed to Android. I can't get rid of the old user name and don't have the password for the Android market account set up on this phone. I can't do a factory reset and I need help. I would prefer to put 7 on it but I would be happy putting 6.5 back. Android would do if I could reset the user account. I do hope someone can help me. I am not very technically gifted but I can follow easy instructions. Please help me.

Because you are new at this I suggest flashing the stock T Mobile from your SD card. It is the simplest and safest thing to do.
You may need the Serial and IMEI numbers located under the phones battery.
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32
2. Go to T Mobile web site and download the rom. It will ask for you IMEI number this makes sure the rom is for your mobile.
3. Unzip/unrar the downloaded file into a folder on your PC
4. Rename the RUU_signed.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
5. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
6. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
7. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
9. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

What if you want to flash it without using the SD card? I flashed android using NAND but I want to put WM 6.5 back.

I think doing it with the SD card is only way to get back to 6.5.

You could always boot into the boot loader by holding the up volume and power key then flash a 6.5 Rom.

Everyone has forgotten to find out what device this is, t mobile are all over the place and some ship 1024MB versions, don't flash anything until you work what you need, flashing incorrect tmobile roms could give you a really bad day and an expensive paperweight

I tried the data cable first and it won't sync with active sync because it is at this time android. It just isn't recognized as anything but a usb storage device. Then I tried the card. I put all the files on the card according to the directions and hit the volume down button and the power button and nothing happens. I then have to remove the battery to turn it back on. The screen that comes up when I first start the phone is dark forces team. There has to be a way to do this.

You have to be holding vol down before u even press the power button, then press the power button simultaneously. U should see a tri-color screen then connect your usb to pc and flash the 6.5 ROM
Make sure u start with the phone off

I had a few attempts before I got it so try again.
It worked for me with a 16GB card.
Turn off your mobile.
Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.
When "Searching" appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button.
This guide may help. But ignore the things about custom ROM’s and HSPL for now.

ok, there are two versions of the HD2, one with 512MB one with 1024MB, some t-mobile US phones (TMOUS) have 1024MB, if you ge the wrong ROM you could potentially bugger your device
for instance, flash a ROM with a unsupported radio on your device than game over....potentially
if you have a TMOUS 1024MB HD2
flash to .51 radio an its screwed
flash to .50 radio an its ok, except 2.05.50.x radio which will screw it
and stick to TMOUS ROMS as well
if you have the regular world wide version we can flash to what ever we like
its important to find out what someone is using before recomending them to flash any WM6.5 ROM because if by chance that ROM contains an incorrect radio version for that hardware then its game over.

damged volume no up/down

im stocked with this situatin thank god with a nice energizer rom 3.5
where phone can load only magdlr and of corse cant navigate the menu.
1) there is any way to switch trough adb or file explorer or terminal emulator the menu 1 selection so that become ad recover????????
so i can access my recover and load other roms?
2) there is any way i can load other android roms installing them trough sd card? or replacing folders and files into internal card?
3) there is any way to load without bootloader clk instead of magdlr so i can use a touch recovery?
thanx for your help

heh, go re-read the post you linked, , , ,what are the first three words?
hint
Hold Volume Down. Press and hold Reset until you see the BootLoader screen. Reset is the hidden button under the battery cover, lower left side below the SD card slot. You need a plastic or wooden stylus (toothpick will work). DON'T use a pencil, the graphite can get into the button and short it.

handy for a broken POWER button, but no use to volume button issues.
not to mention that he is asking to flash from sd in bootloader, and of course, even if you DO get into bootloader, you need to press the vol button to start the flash.
(Not like you to make a mistake, you're normally bang on the money, , , bad day? )

Hey guys,
I'm sorry I can't help or offer any solution, but reading again about a volume button problem just makes me confident that we need to have an option to boot into SPL from clk or magldr.
If I remember correctly, in WM 6.x we could do it using a little executable called "Enterbootloader.exe".
To tell you the truth I've tried ida-ing that *.exe, but I don't have the skills to make something out of it... maybe someone else could give it a try(?).
Nevertheless in the newer version of clk I added an option to navigate through the menu using fastboot commands (simulating volume keys, green button and back button).
Regards!

Haha actually a fairly good day, got some decent GCSE results for the first few things I've done. I guess when I posted that was before I got the results and I was, shall we say, bricking it (although not talking about phones here ) and probably not really thinking. Anyway, @OP sorry about that, I really dunno why I linked that without reading it properly but meh, I guess no harm done if you didn't flash anything yet (aside from maybe getting your hopes up slightly )

Hah, makes sense your mind may be slightly occupied.
Good stuff, grats.

thanx friends.
unfortunally you still need vol down to skip magdlr menu....and boot into tricolor screen.
i guess im stocked with this rom unless i can short vol down mecaniclly i mean from hardware
insert battery and power up then remove short...
