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

When I take the battery out and then hold down the volume and press the power button I get that multi screen and I got to the USB then nothing else happens. What am I missing?

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.

[Q] lockscreen freeze issue

I've searched the forums and have not been able to anything that addresses this issue.
I'm running an Android Nand ROM, this is my second Nand. Ran SD versions previously. This issue began with the first Nand and continues with the second.
When the phone boots the lockscreen will function exactly once. If the screen is allowed to go to sleep or put to sleep with the end button, the lockscreen is frozen and requires a battery pull to function again (again, exactly once). Hard buttons continue to work. Hitting the send key will get me into the dialer, and from there the home key will get me to the home screen, but at that point the home screen is frozen.
I don't think it's a battery or mainboard issue, but I could be wrong. Tried to run Task 29 with no luck. Can't connect to PC to flash a windows ROM (thought that formatting SD card might help). Removed the SD card, which did not change anything.
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated
Edit. I discovered that if I use the hard send key it will wake the lockscreen which will then function delivering me to the home screen which also functions properly. Problem appear to be associated with the hard end key only.
Edit 3/19/2011: This is a hardware issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893037&highlight=lockscreen+freeze
I've determined that any hard key other than the end key will wake the lockscreen which will then function properly. It appears that the end key is either worn out or has something going on under the button such as dirt build up or bent connections. Will attempt to disassemble and correct. Will report back after.

Ok here is my sugestions and advice. First try a master/hard reset of your Andriod ROM. To do this cut your HD2 off then press and bold down the power button until the main menu of MAGLDR comes up. Then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the options until you see recovery and select it. This will preform a reset of your ROM.
If that does not fix your problem you can try flashing a different Andriod ROM.
If you still have the problem you can preform a task 29 by turning the phone off and putting your phone into bootloader. To do this turn the phone off and hold the volume down button down and tap the power button but continue to hold down the volume down button until you see the muticolor bootloader screen come up. Plug your phone into a computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar at the bottom of the phone screen to change to USB. Then run the task 29. By the way unless you flash a Window Mobile ROM via SD card this is the best way to flash a Windows Mobile ROM, HSPL, MAGLDR, or run task 29.
Once you ha e run a task 29 (or not it is your decission) you can either reflash MAGLDR and flash a Andriod ROM again (Not sure if you will have to reflash MAGLDR or not after you run task 29 so check and see if you still have it by powering off and holding the power button down.) Or you can flash a Windows Mobile ROM by the above steps to put it in bootloader and flashing. Or you can use ASDa card to flash a Windows Mobile ROM. If you use this method and flash a official ROM it will revert your SPL back to stock and you will lose MAGLDR, if you flash a official ROM via USB you will lose MAGLDR but not nessaraly HSPL, you will just have to go into bootloader to check that. Anyway use a 4GB or smaller SD card and make sure it is formated with Fat 32 and then download a Windows Mobile ROM. If the ROM shows up as a .exe when you extract it from the zip file then rename the .exe to .zip and right click the file if it is not a .exe then just right click it. When you right click the file it will pop up a box with options select view or explore wich ever one you see and look for the file with .nbh at the end and rename it to leoimg.nbh. then copy the file to the SD card and insert the SD card in your pbone. put your phone into bootloader but keep the volume down button held down until you see searching on your phone screen and then release the volume down button and the ROM will flash.
Hope this helps.

Thanks!
Thanks T-Macgnolia. I will try this sequence tonight. I did discover a workaround (see my edit of original post). It appears the problem is solely associated with the hard end key. Still not sure if its a hardware or software issue. But should have a better idea after I try your suggestions.

I have the same problem with the hard end key for about 2 weeks. Now it's not working with all hard keys.

[q] is my phone dead?

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am having trouble booting back into windows mobile 7 after switching my phone off for the first time since install.
Having never done anything like this before I followed the instructions closely making sure I had the correct spl, hspl2, the correct magldr, radio etc.
7 was working perfectly. My problems only started when I realised I forgot to put my sd card in before install, following instructions I found on another thread it was suggested that I remove the battery insert sd card and turn phone back on etc. However I can’t turn the phone back on, the only thing I can do is hold down the volume key and the red button to get the red/green/blue/white – screen.
I can't get the MAGLDR screen to load, the only thing that happens when i hold the power button is a small vibration but nothing loads.
I can reflash magldr, but the phone still wont power on or load the magldr menu screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Have I bricked my phone?
Sorry for starting this thread again, but I am desperate after a week without my phone and would appreciate any help, thanks!

Have you tryed flashing back to windows mobile 6.5 ? Give that a go see what happens.

Can you be certain that the battery hasn't somehow become discharged?

I managed to flash it back to 6.5. I think I am going to wait a while before trying to get windows mobile 7 working. Thanks for your help.

a reflash should have fixed that issue, you need sd before installing but on the positive side at least wp7 recognised your sd card just need to see if its fully compatible, a hard reset would have worked as well with hspl and magldr installed the chances of bricking your device are very very small unless you mess about with the wrong radio on a 1028MB TMOUS device, which is doubtful, outside of the USA

[Q] HTC HD2 Stuck from Booting

Hi,
I was actually trying to put ICS on my device from GingerBread Nand.I connect device with USB and I was trying to Wipe using HD2 Nand Toolkit.As device reached 100%, it suppose to restart but in my case it hanged at 100% for 30 mins .Then I restart by removing the battery.Now when 3 color screen shows, it shows serial at the bottom but it change to usb when I connect to pc .The problem is now when I try to re-partition ,it says device is not connected.
So I thought I may be able to install windows by downloading actual rom from T-Mobile and place the file to sd card by renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh.I did it using a class 2 16Gb card.As I press both volume down key and power button, it goes right to the rainbow screen.Please help me!
Thanks for reading the issue.

Are you using cLK or magldr?

Thanks for your reply.Actually i wanted to use cLK but I actually could not able to go that far.Please read the problem which might give you some clue to help me.

HTC HD2 automatically turns on when battery is inserted

Hi,I have a problem with my HTC hd2 which is when I insert the battery the phone boot up without me even pressing the on button.So was just wondering is there anyone that knows a fix for this problem I'm facing?thanx

Sorry but your problem is strange for me, I suggest you to reset all the phone starting with the task29 to erase the internal rom.

Make a backup of anything you want first then i would start with just a fresh download and install of the ROM your using. If that don't work then I would suggest what adone.h has said to try. Don't forget to wipe data, cache, and delvic if using Android.

Ok thanx for that adobe.h and htccraze, I will give then both a try and keep u posted on what happens.thanx

hmmmm i thought it was common for HD2 to do that or is it only during those HSPL/ radio update this would happen.

OK mengfei,but when i flash a new android rom the nand way and its all booted up and everything,then i press the power button i dont get the screen so the turn the phone off or restart it.Any answers?

Eject battery, let it out for some minutes.
Reset the OS.
If these things above won't work, you have to install a new OS (maybe bootloader has some problems, too). I had this problem, too. Got rid of it by removing the battery for a longer time. Now everything is fine.

it's a weird phenomenom
i got the same problem when i firstly got the HD2
but it automatically disappeared last month after i flash several wp7 roms

I have the same problem

It is a hardware problem in the digitiser/cable/button area.
My touch screen failed, when I got the repaired phone, I had the same symptoms - battery in phone on. Also pressing just the volume down button would boot into the tri-colour screen. This happened with windows or android flashed into nand.
Odd thing was that running the key test function in magldr seemed to work and the power button operated normally as far I could tell when powered up into windows or android.
I sent the phone back for repair again and got a refurb replacement.

I have tried to flash a windows 7 Rom to cure the problem mario_net,but when I trying to flash the Rom it just keeps coming up error near the end of the flashing process.Have u any answers people?

CR5N,just wondered how do u do the key test function in magldr?

Apologies, it is under advanced -> key test in cwm (I'm on 5.0.2.6) accessed via magldr recovery.

Let it out for some minutes don't insert battery immediately after removed.
