[FIXED] Cant install ANY radio on a TMOUS HD2 - HD2 General

Having a problem with a friends TMOUS HD2.
It was Borked when trying to install Android (Nand) and he gave it to me to try and fix.
Managed to get rid of MAGLDR by Task 29ing and flashing an 'EnergyROM' BUT.... it seems there is NO radio on the phone.
Trying to install the official TMOUS upgrade via the SD Card method fails at the radio stage with the error:
'00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - Fail
RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail'
Trying to install the official ROM via USB instead of SD Card, it always fails at 8%.
trying to install any radio via USB fails at 96%....
This has me confused as all hell.... any ideas??
Andy

What SPL or HSPL is on the HD2? This could be your problem.

Lots of similar threads if you look around carefully,, "stuck radio" its commonly called.
There are very very few successful ones, tho,I'm sorry to say. One or two along the lines of using certain test roms in a certain order, and such.
Good look, keep hopeful, but prepare for dissapointment.

have you tried flashing a radio via SD card?
also, have you tried uninstalling HSPL THEN stock ROM via official site?

Done both of those. Still fails when installing the radio,
If I do the radio ONLY, it fails at 98% wether its via USB or via SD Card. If I install the full official ROM, it fails at 8%, which is where its installing the radio.....
Been using HSPL 2.08 and SPL 2.08 ....

just for grins can you run HSPL4 and flash SPL 3.03 then try flashing a 3.04 ROM?
edit:
you might also try this:
1) flash task29
2) flash 2.15.00 via RUU,
this might work if for some reason some remnants of the ROM is somehow preventing your HD2 correctly communicating during radio flash.

Hey cerrect me if I am wrong but the OP can use the .nbh file of th e 2.15.00 radio to run the Task 29 on the HD2 but also flash the radio to the HD2. I mean Task 29 just needs a .nbh file to work.
Go check out post #2 and #6 of the [REF] Task 29 (format) without drivers, without mtty. thread.

you're right, it's the NBH file that makes the difference.

ok, well its definitely a radio problem.
I got the latest tmous upgrade rom from their site ( Using the Serial number to ensure it was the right ROM.)
T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1
When I try to install it, it fails at 8%.
I purchased PSAS and used it to strip all the files out of the NBH, then I rebuilt it WITHOUT the radio.
The ROM installs fine now BUT.....
If I try to install the radio only, I get an error at 96%
So the phone is FINE to install a ROM on, but CANT install a Radio.... AT ALL.
Used HSPL 3.03 and 2.08, Also tried 3.03.0000 and 2.08.0000.
Did the task29 with the radio.... failed at the same point.
Tried making a goldcard with PSAS, but when I do that, it gets stuck on 'loading' when trying to flash the radio from SD Card (Tried 2 SD cards, both 2GB and the same thing happened.)
Contacted HTC Europe and they wont take the phone as its a US version
Dont suppose anyone has JTAG hardware and wouldnt mind trying to fix this as it seems it is my only option now

DUDE I GOT EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU....
And its not even my HD2
So you got any solution yet?
pleasee

FIXED
Got it sorted out now
How I did it:
PURE LUCK
Installed HSPL 2.08 on the phone
Downloaded T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1 from the tmobile website.
used PSAS to split the nbh into its components, then rebuilt it WITHOUT the radio.
booted the phone into bootloader and installed the ROM via USB ( without radio)
Formatted a 2gb SD card in windows.... FAT32 4096kb cluster size
Radio 2.15.40.14 renamed to LEOIMG.nbh and put at the root of the SD card.
Popped it in the phone and booted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.
Rebooted. Started loading the nbh. Failed at 96%.

i want the phone back to get it back to the guy!! otherwise i need to pay a NEW HD2 for him and i cant...
EDIT: can you PM me the program or your msn maybe ? :$

you dont need the program..... Just install HSPL on your phone, Flash a ROM that has no radio (a custom ROM such as the EnergyROM would do fine) using USB/bootloader method then get the radio you need onto a freshly formatted (FAT32 with 4096kb cluster size) SD card LESS than 4GB in size. Rename the radio 'LEOIMG.nbh' and then just KEEP TRYING. Perserverance is the name of the game here.
I made over 50 attempts before one went through.
Oh.... gettting the ROM (with no Radio) onto the phone took a few attempts aswell. Think it was 3 or 4, but I kept going because the install was failing at different places each time)

hmm..
so in short.
I just put 2.08 HSPL on it, then install a CUSTOM rom.. after that, i get back to the bootloader and insert the goldcard with the freshly new 2.15 radio and when it gives a RSA failed error i just try like 50 times???
Thanks.

Worked for me. Dont even need a goldcard as they dont work with HSPL installed in the phone... only with stock SPLs

$25 reward to fix my phone. Problems for over 45 days.

I won't bother with the exact history of things but I'll tell you what's on the phone and what I can't get to work.
SPL-2.00. 10000 XE
Radio 2.06.50.04
ROM Leo lite 2.6 WE (21892.5.0.89)
Current ROM works until I try to do anything involving phone radio and then it just locks up. My radio is not up to date for this ROM I assume.
Trying to flash anything at all via LEOIMG microsd card does nothing but sit at the Loading.... screen with never any progress. (I have also tried this with a goldcard that somebody made me and I get the same error.) Have used both a 16gb card and a 2gb card, all formatted to fat32
I am unable to flash a new ROM or new Radio or get the SPL to allow any OEM ROM/SPL package to install via SDcard.
Trying to flash anything with the standard flasher tool and it never did anything but time out. SSPL used to work but now it does nothing but time out. I'm stuck on this ROM, can't change it and phone doesn't work.
What I would like to do is get HSPL back on it, the most current radio and the latest US T-Mobile ROM
If you can help me do this I will pay $25 for the person to help me get it off my phone. There is a chance my goldcard could have been made incorrectly, I don't know anything about them. I can pay you via PayPal or mail you a check, whatever works for you. All I can do is give you my word that I will keep my end of the deal. I'm a 44 year old family man and a department manager of a casino. I would really appreciate any help.
If I posted this in the wrong place please move it but I'm at wits end and just want my phone back to normal.
Edit: Just to be clear, the $25 reward is for getting the SPL 2.0 off of my phone and/or getting me upgraded to the latest radio so I can run the most current TmoUSA ROM properly.
the problem appears to be that you have slightly different hardware to every one else.
didnt realise you were having issues with sspl, that at least should work ok. by time out do you mean there sspl boot screen appears burt nothing else?
if so what happens if you disconnect the usb cable and plug it back in?
if it changes to usb then rerun the sspl without changing anything on the hd2
you could also try - and uninstall the windows drivers for the qualcomm cdma drivers or whatever they are called on you pc. and reconnect in boot loader to let them reinstall.
SSPL used to work, it stopped working after I flashed a newer rom to play with. When I use the SSPL it goes into the bootloader screen just fine, then I hear the USB disconnect sound and the SSPL program times out quickly with the exit button citing no connection.
I have 2 x Windows 7 64 bit computers, 1 x Windows 7 32 bit and one XP 32 bit computer. I get the same results on any of them. All after the most recent ROM upgrade.
I have not tried running SSPL from boot loader screen, did not know that was possible. Trying that now. Just need to download a known working ROM.
If that works I'll be back in the same boat as before, stuck with 2.0 SPL and 2.06 radio. I want that SPL 2.0 off my phone badly.
OK, trying SSPL from the bootloader screen got me a little further towards ROM flashing. I can see the htc on the black screen with the progress bar. It now sits at 0% with no movement indefinitely.
Going to try another ROM and see if I can get the ROM installation to actually begin.
If you still haven't tried it do this: start SSPL when you hear the USB disconnect sound remove the USB cable (either from device or PC) and then connect it again! this should allow the SSPL to enter USB mode! I've had similar problems long ago and this trick was doing the job! Not sure that it will help you but just a thought!
Newb here:
I had something similar. I installed HSPL and everything was fine thereafter. The radio wouldn't flash any other way, in fact it would disconnect like you said, or if I manualy took the phone to boot loader, it would stick at 0%.
There is a HSPL thread stickied in the ROM section and I believe it explains how to remove it if you need to "re" validate your warranty. Although reading once more it does say you need SPL 1.42 to get it to install.
Have you tried installing an official HTC ROM downlaoded from their site? This will take you back to the original SPL version 1.42...
I don't have HSPL on my phone, I have SPL 2.0 Nothing is out currently to remove a later SPL with the exception of flashing an OEM full package ROM through the sd card but that doesn't work for me.
I have tried multiple roms now using SSPL from the bootloader screen and none will move the progress bar past 0%
Still stuck. : - (
Have you tried to hard spl it? If I missed it in your post, I apologize.
Not in a long while, I should try again I guess but I was totally under the impression that HSPL will error all the time unless you have SPL 1.42 installed on the phone.
Edit: Just tried and it errors because SPL 1.42 is not on the phone, it's the only SPL that HSPL works on as far as I know.
balane have you tried installing a stock rom from your SD card? this would revert the spl back to 1.42 and allow you to then flash HSPL (I think, almost certain) but you said you cant do anything with the sd card, have you tried that? have you tried with different SD cards? also have you made sure that it is formatted to FAT32?
Another thing you could try if all else fails: MTTY, look at the MTTY thread by MystikGenius, its stickied in the rom development section, this will format your phone from which you can then try to flash from usb or sd. I would recomend trying to flash from SD which then again may revert your spl.
Im going to school now so I wont be able to help you anymore 8 or so hours, but PM me later if your still stuck.
I may be wrong but from what I read in the threads I thought it was not possible to go back to anything under 2.0 once you flash a 2.0 SPL. You can't flash back to 1.48 or 1.66. You might be able to flash the new TMOUS which is in the 2.0 SPL range.
Yes, I've tried dozens of stock roms from the sdcard, every one I could find in fact and they all hang at the Loading... screen. As stated in the op, I used two different cards both formatted to fat32. I guess I could try a third card, not sure if it's worth a try or not.
I looked at MTTY but that doesn't do a thing with SPL and my SPL is the root of my issues.
Update: I finally did find a ROM I could get flashed via SSPL. It took like 3 tries to get the progress bar going but it did get installed. I can't even recall what series of events got it to go but at least my phone turns on and works.
Still the same SPL and radio though. No change there.

I could have swore I read some people who were able to get the SPL 2.0 off their phones but I could be mistaken. I'm actually ok with any SPL as long as I can sspl different ROMs. I just want to get the radio current so I can run the latest TmoUS ROM, I would totally and 100% pleased with being able to update the radio. I have found now way to flash a more current radio.

No it won't be SSPL as we know it, the HTC stock ROM you can download from their site (Google "HTC HD2 DOWNLOAD") will use it's own method of getting onto your device and will reload SPL 1.42 for you. Although apparently you may not be able to do this with SPL 2. You say you have done it with a gold card, have you tried the stock rom downloaded from HTC via USB?
Otherwise, pester bepe for when the HSPL comes out that is compatible ywith SPL 2!

When you say oem, do you mean just the nbh with which you have tried to install using tools or the self extracting exe that HTC provide? I'm just asking cos to me, oem means it comes without all the manufacturers extras.
I've always been under the impression that the only way to downgrade an SPL was to install a complete OEM package ROM/Splash/Radio/SPL as a LEOIMG.nbh from the root of the SD card. I've tried dozens of these both from US based ROMs and abroad. None of gone past the Loading.... screen. I've tried 1.42 and above ROMs, no luck with any.

flashing rom from sd card after task29

hi im using energy roms and havent really had any problems anyway ive done task 29 and tried to flash rom from sd card which is formatted to fat32 and it either stops arond 5 percent and says update failed or gets to about 99 percent and does nothing the only way i can reflash rom is from bootloader using the flash from pc is they anything that im doing wrong as as far as i know its better to flash from sd card thanks

I flashed many times and many roms. Never use SD card method. Never fails so far.
What I understand, using sd card to flash the rom, for best result, use the brand new sd card. And, if you use sd card to flash the ship rom, your existing SPL will be overwritten.
Cheers,
ok thanks could my sd card be playing up cause i have latest hspl and done flash 29 then try to flash with sd card (formatted fat32) and always gets to about 4 percent and says terminate failed or something i did a task29 before without drivers and mtty and it crashed (pc) so will that have anyhing to do with it

best idea is forget sd card flashing. Use usb.
regarding the crash, and teh failing to flash, you haven't told us what it says next to 'spl' in bootloader. Very often people say ' i have the latest hspl' but ten posts later it comes out that they have 2.08.0000 or something.
Have you flashed your stock rom? or any official roms?

ok, you're making the standard noob mistake when writingout the spl.
there is no such thing as 2.08.0000 hspl
there is either
2.08.0000 which is stock so flashing won't work
or
2.08.hspl which means hspl is installed.
the key is the last 4 digits of the number.
if it ends 0000 then it is stock and hspl is not installed.
for hspl to be installed it must end .hspl

[Q] Cannot flash anything....?

Any idea's
i have two Hd2's the one phone has all the bells and whistles, hspl/rom/radio/android. All done without any issues flashed using the SD card, The other is stock, Its my wifes and she wants to have the same coolness level to her hd2 so she asked me to hook it up and that's where the problem begins.
both phones are the same, purchased at same time. same SD card.
I formatted the SD card did the HSPL both as 2.08 and 2.08000 or whatever it is and i am unable to flash any "Custom roms" or radios. I tried off the card first and it hung at the bootloader at "Serial". i attributed this to the card maybe being
" 16GB class 2" from online searching, So i used and old 2GB card i had lying around and same thing no go. No big deal i figured as surly i could flash anything through the exe files that come with the roms and radios through the computer. This also failed, The program loads and recognizes the phone and the current build and acknowledges what rom its going to be "updating" too but then once it hits the loading screen it hangs at 0 % then returns and communication error. And takes we through the recovery steps.
Finally as a last ditch effort i went and downloaded the new 3.14 update from TMO mainly to see if that would update without failing and it did with out a hitch...weird...?
i now have android running off the SD card with the new stock Wmo update and everything is working okay
but that still leaves me stumped why i was unable to flash any radios or roms........? even from the computer

Finally as a last ditch effort i went and downloaded the new 3.14 update from TMO mainly to see if that would update without failing and it did with out a hitch...weird...?
i now have android running off the SD card with the new stock Wmo update and everything is working okay
but that still leaves me stumped why i was unable to flash any radios or roms........? even from the computer

You need HSPL3 Because your stock SPL is 2.10. They should update that sticky... SPL 2.8 worked with the first shipped ROM. Once 2.13 started shipping it no longer works. HSPL3 yo.
Stock roms from T Mobile don't require HardSPL so they will flash no matter what SPL you are running.

from the one how to thread, same thing i did with my hd2 that had no issues

[HELP NEEDED] Stuck in white bootscreen with no connection

Hey all,
Maybe someone can help me out.
Two weeks ago i installed andoid on my HTC HD2.
I used HPSL, radio 2.15.50.14, MAGLDR112 and NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.1_NAND. A few days ago, without any reason i got a white bootscreen and i still have it
What a did so far:
* New HSPL3, but the radio didn't connected anymore, error 270.
* A new MAGLDR, i reached 100% in a blink, but then an error 270.
* Using a SD with the original leoimg, i get a (00018003 radio fail) error after a few % and the update failed.
* task29, but again no connection. (after 5 min error 262)
* new USB drivers installed for windows 7 and i also tried it on an windows Xp computer.
So far i only reached my 4 colored screen with:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
* The original rom was RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Last question, how can i check that the batttery is stil oke for flashing.
Anyone who has a clue what to do?
Thanks in advance.
greetz!

Mate, I think you´ve done everything. HSPL and Radio ROM versions correct etc.
Since I see more and more people reporting similar problems like you, I get the feeling that some Android builds might have some strange effects on Radio ROMs.
There are too many people with SPL and Radio ROM problems, eg. stuck in bootloader or at the white startup screen.
This didn´t happen at this pace before Android NAND.
Only 1 question though:
Did you try to flash the original ROM using RUU.exe, SSPL or LeuCustomRUU via USB, without having the SIM and the SD card inserted? In rare cases, either one or both were trouble makers...
EDIT: Second question:
What kind of SD card did you try? Bigger cards seem more problematic, too.
I used a 2 gb micro SD card to go back to the original Rom.
I didn't tried to go back to original ROM using USB, because of the connecting problems. So that i'm gonna do now. Any suggestions which to use best?
After your post i tried to the flash with (and without) the formatted sd and the simcard, unfortunatelly i didn't work.
For last your question i can say that connect your phone to PC when it is off. Then keep down "volume down" button and switch on your phone. You get 4 colored screen. On bottom you can see USB word. Let phone for minimum 1h. And you get more 50% charged battery.
After hour you can flash back to original rom or to MAGLDR and forward normally flash android nand. You dont need disconnect or switch off before flash your phone.
Hope helps.
@tictac0566
Thanks for the options!
I tried the options mentioned in question 1, the problem is the connection USB/Radio. SSPL seems to work, but after 1% again connection error.
After a few test it must be the radio.
I tried to flash only a new radio using LEOIMG, after 99% i get the same error as LEOIMG an original Rom (00018003 radio fail)
With HPSL3_PKG i also can't go back to SPL 2.08.000.
So the problem must be there.
Anyone has an idea?? Can i use another radio? If yes, than which?
Thanks!
Still no solution
Tried many things, still the radio is not working.
It could be also HPSL3, because i can't go back to spl 2.08 (or any other (h)spl with the app.
Anyone has an idea??
Just trying to help here, but have you tried doing everything from the start?
task29 and everything else?
Hey i seem to have the same problem as you except my white screen wasnt after a flash, it just randomly went white one day and wouldnt boot.
I have tried MTTY, i can connect via usb but after formatting via MTTY and then attempting to flash a new rom (ship and custom) it just stays on 0% and doesnt do anything else.
Sorry to hijack thread just thought whilst people are looking they can help me too

Can you go into bootloader? If you can then your problem can be solved. The problem you are having might have been because you unintentionaly installed or uninstalled a programm and that corrupted your rom.
To both of you. Try to flash using the leoimg.nbh step. If it doesn't work then the rom you used is not compactible with your device, try another till you find one that will work with your device. I know it is tiring to do something like that, here a tip from me, the rom you are expected to use in this process must be in the native language of your phone or else it will not work. You can't just use any stockrom to do it. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice, but all the roms i tried i got a radio fail during flashing with leoimg.nbbh.
Maybe your HSPL is faulty ? Did you try to re-HSPL your device using HSPL.exe ?

Yes i tried, but mine HD2 stays on SPL-2.08 HPSL.
I used HSPL3_PKG and HSPL2 in different but still SPL-2.08 HSPL.
Maybe there's where my problems are, but i als can be an corrupt radio.
Anyone an other way to back to SPL 2.08.000 or how to fix the radio?
Then your best bet is to flash with a goldcard

Yes i can get into bootloader. I have tried using MTTY task 29 to format the device then i searched on the HTC site for a compatible ROM. Turns out the only one that doesnt give a negative response when i type in my serial number is the ROM from Taiwan. Tried flashing that using the SD card method and the USB method. Sd card method hangs at 0% and i get a connection error in USB method. I have also tried the latest ROM from Dutty.
If a ROM is not compatible how do you know? Does it hang at 0% or does it finish loading and then wont boot from there.
I have even tried flashing just a radio with the same results.

Yes i tried all different types of HSPL and even SSPL. From the bootloader screen i run the .exe from the computer and it goes through and says 'operation finished successfully'
But when i get back to the bootloader it still says the same HSPL, which is 1.66
Also to note when i power on the device i can hear a small 'click' from it. Could be much worse and be a hardware problem?
Still no solution.
Oke guys, thanks for answering my threat so far!
Still trying to get my HTC back to life.
Is it possible that my problem is in HSPL? (see attachments)
After the white screen i tried to reinstall HPSL 2, 3 and 1, but during the instal my HTC reboot (without the signal "We Hacked It"
I also tried different SD card for LEOIMG, still radio fail 00018003.
One thing i didn't tried is using a goldcard, i downloaded the app but i need a working HTC HD2 to make the card.
Anyone?
No you don't, there you go :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874304
Goldcard is the old method to install a custom rom way before HSPL became popular
so if HSPL don't work then Goldcard wont as well but hey you can still try
I think its more of a hardware problem now since all attempts for software repair is not successful. I had the same situation as yours, white screen then radio fail, tried all solutions but still no luck
sameeeeee
i have the same problem 100%
i already try all these solution and no one is worked
however, some one told me that maybe the problem with the Flash memory of my HD2 because he already try to solve / or already solve such problem "but unfortunately he lost the tools he was used"
this tools is can check the memory and told which memory chunk is corrupted
please if any one know this tools or had it please posted it on.....
That app should be Task 29.

[Q] White Screen at boot up, ROM fails - Hardware or Software

I feel like I have looked everywhere but forgive me if I missed a thread that may answer this.
I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue.
I installed HSPL 2.08 successfully
I then installed MAGLDR 1.13 successfully
Flashed my phone with HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.5_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TMOUS successfully
Android booted fine and worked for about a day and a half. My phone froze up and had to remove battery. Now it only boots to white screen.
I have attempted to reinstalled MAGLDR without success
I have attempted to change my HSPL back to SPL to install OEM Rom without success HSPL says it was successful but bootloader screen says different.
I read in a thread that it could be a radio conflict (though I don't know why it would work for a day and then stop) but I can't install a radio ROM. I get Error 207 Image file corrupted.
I have read threads about flashing from the SD card by extracting the signed_RUU.nbh file from the stock ROM, but I have no idea how to do that. I do not have the extract option on the exe file of the stock ROM I download...and I have downloaded several versions.
Please help.

I have no idea what is happening with your phone and why is it happening... But I can tell yoy one thing. Whenever I had any problems when phone would not go further one step, I would do TASK29 and follow all the steps all over again. TASK29 is sth like wiping everything off your NAND. Hope it helps.
I kind of think this is a hardware issue... My boys did the same thing... Never got it back up and running.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
what about the radio ?
do task 29 and flash radio if you haven't (ignore if you did it earlier) then install MAGLDR and flash the rom from within MAGLDR or follow whatever instructions the developer has posted in his thread.
I too have tried everything and although magldr and wm6.5 both flash from sd, still wsod. My advice is take it to tmobile, and talk them into admitting its a hardware problem ;-)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I forgot to mention I did try the Task29 and it too failed. So I am thinking it is a hardware issue.
UPDATE: I figured out where to find the .nbh files in my temp folder and was able to copy and paste them to the SD card. I have also gotten to the image load screen to flash the leoimg.nbh file. However all of them fail at RADIO and subsequently fail the update. I have tried new and old stock ROM and the Radio ROM by itself. I also used the Task29 nbh file and was successful in flashing that from my SD card ... but the HSPL is still there at the boot loader screen.
I can't seem to figure out what is causing the fail.
Thoughts anyone?
Sorry
HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.5_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TM OUS successfully
Did you check is this version quiet similar to your phone's hardware configuration
Ram 1024
My version is compatible. Again, it was running fine. In fact, I have a phone previous that I installed it and it worked beautifully but I dropped and shattered the screen. When I got this new one (same model) I performed the installation the exact same way. It worked a day and a half and then froze.
Based on other searches, it looks like I may have bricked my radio.
UPDATE:
I think I was able to solve this and hopefully I won't be as cryptic as someone else who had a similar problem. Don't Give Up is good advice however attempting the same time over and over is probably not the best.
This is what I did ... after banging my head at the redundancy.
I used NBHExtract from the NBHExtract forum on the Stock ROM T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1 that I downloaded from T-Mobile. This extracted all the .nb files and thankfully they were well labeled.
I then used the NBH Creator from the NBH Creator forum (yes you will have to register to download this application.)
In the NBH Creator I used the settings provided to me in the NBHExtract window and used the SPL, Splash, and OS only ... leaving the Radio blank.
I created the leoimg.nbh file and put that on a blank 2Gig FAT32 formated SD card.
Booted the phone in Bootloader.
The update failed however it uninstalled the HSPL
From here I did a Hard Reset to clear the ROM Update failure message on the tri-color screen.
I attempted to update the ROM via USB to the 3.14 version (again downloaded from T-Mobile's site). This got to 4% and failed. I now had the warning triangle symbol on my screen indicating the Software Update failed and to try again.
I tried again however this time with the 2.13 version (the ROM I extracted at the beginning) via USB. This time is successfully installed.
This is probably not a fool-proof nor verified option, however it worked for my phone model PB8112000. It might work for you.
I am tempted to try Android again, however, I don't know if the radio issue was hardware or software.
