Ok basically my phones completely Bricked.
It turns on and shows the HTC Logo and then sits there and does nothing.
I can get the phone into the Rainbow Bootloader however then it won't connect to my computer.
Im pretty sure the phone originally had Android 2.2 however that's all messed up and gone.
Is there a way to completely wipe and then reinstall Android or even the Original WM 6.5?
Im stuck here guys. The phone is a USA T-Mobile Leo.
Cheers
no your phoine is not bricked, if it was bricked it wouldnt even turn on
so you boot intothe boot loader plug inthe usb cable and does it change from serial to usb?
Flash the phone through the sd card.
Try Energy Rom here:
http://hotfile.com/list/588162/580b43d
Download the file Energy.Leo.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.15.7z
Uncompress the archive. Put the file "leoimg.nbh" in the root of the sd card and go to bootloader (hold volume down key and soft reset).

Probably yes. Sorry, then.
Either way, he can still download the official rom .exe file and uncompress it with winzip or winrar. After that, he should find the .nbh file and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" and put it in the sd root.
Hi there,
Yes i have downloaded the Official ROM from T-Mobile.com and entered my IMEI, so i suspect its the correct one.
Tried updating from the Computer and it got to 5% and then said Update Failed.
I also tried doing it from the SD Card the way you guys said to, it worked once, it got to about 3% and said something about Invalid Radio.
I'm guessing this should have worked, however it didn't
Any idea why??
Cheers for your help Guys
PS: When i load into BootLoader mode it does come with with Serial and then USB.
However it also now since the update failed comes up with 'Upgrade ROM Code Error, Please Try Again "
I Get Error Code 284 on the update utility
Cheers
Can you not try to flash a different radio, and then try and flash a stock Rom, it might work. Or if it will let you, task20-radio-magldr

The current T-Mobile radio version is 2.15.50.14. If you downloaded the update ROM from T-Mobile thin this radio version is included with it.
When in bootloader what SPL or HSPL do you have? If it is not SPL 3.03.0000 OR SPL 3.03 HSPL then thos is your problem. The current T-Mobilr ROM is a 3.14 ROM and all 3.14 ROMs require one of these SPL versions to flash. You can change it after you flash.
I also recomend you run a task 29 on hour HD2 and then reflash the 3.14.T-Mobile ROM. You can do this via SD card as well. You can even flash MAGLDR ia SD card.

ATM My SPL is 2.9
I think it may be corrupt, i took my phone into a phone repair shop and they had no idea how to fix it either.
So does anybody have some detailed instructions on how to do this, id love to get it going!
Cheers
It has to be the radio. If I'm not mistaken you flash the radio just like a ROM.
Here a thread with alot of Radios. Look for the one that says 2.15.50.14 Radio or something similar theres instructions in the thread.
THREAD: [RADIO] The HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread
Good luck!
sounds like nand coruption or a dodgy cable...
You'll need to flash original Rom from SD Card
Format your SD Card under windows down to FAT32 original allocation size.
extract the contents of the installer that you've downloaded from TMobile
copy RUU_signed.nbh and then rename it to leoimg.nbh
now im pretty sure you hold either the Up volume + Power until you get to a grey screen and follow prompts.
OR
up volume + down volume + Power
You do those combo's as you turn on the phone and hold untill the applicable screen comes up.

It is neither of those you give. You hold the volume down button down while powering on to get to bootloader, the grey screen is automatic when bootloader detects the leoimg.nbh file on the SD card. Also you just have to press the power button down like you would to normally turn the phone on, it is the volume down button you have to keep pressed down until you see bootloader. If you hold both the volume up and down buttons down while powering on it will go to the hard reset function.

Ok are you sure you have SPL 2.09 on your HD2 cause it should be one of these?
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
SPL 3.03.0000
If you have that SPL you might have to flash a older ROM to get another SPL version that will let you flash HSPL as SPL 2.09 will not and I have not heaerd of that SPL so it must have been like a test SPL or something.
Go to "Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS"and start at the 2,07 ROM, download it and try to flash it via USB and SD card. If no joy, move to 2.09 ROM, if now joy with it move to 2.10.0 ROM and so on and so on until you get one to flash. try both flash methods with both.
Do not, I repeat do not flash or even download for that matter the 2.01 ROM marked not for TMOUS as it will brick/KILL your your HD2!

I have looked all around this forum, google, and youtube. my phone is running on cyanogen 6.1 via nand. I would like to go back to winmo so i can send it back to t mobile because the vibration stopped working. Tutorials, DL links will help.
From the Flashing NAND roms tutorial (link in my signature)
5. UNINSTALLING MAGLDR AND NAND ANDROID (FLASHING WINMO BACK TO NAND)
To uninstall Magldr and any Android Rom that you installed to NAND, do the following:
1. Download a Stock Rom from *HERE* or a Custom Rom from the HD2 Rom Development Forum (for LEO512 ONLY, LEO1024 users will have to use a TMOUS compatable Stock or Custom Rom that is LEO1024 compatable).
2. Enter Bootloader Mode by taking the battery out, then put it back in and hold down the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the power button.
3. After the phone enters the Bootloader Screen, plug in the usb cable so it says usb at the bottom of the screen
4. Run the Stock Roms .exe file (or run the customruu.exe file of the Custom Rom you want to flash)
* This will flash a Stock Rom and Radio while keeping your HardSPL untouched *

i think i love you
Yea but that will not remove the HSPL. If you have the latest HSPL you need to open it back up after you load the stock rom and then install the one that is 2.08.0000 at the end of it. Now they will have no Idea. As for the stock rom I just downloaded the one from T-mobile. (www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade)
Then press the "Thanks" button for him to boost his meter.
i download the stock rom and then how do i do it? im usually an apple guy, im new to android.
If you are using a 512MB ROM HD2, just download the official firmware from HTC's website. The recommendation is to use a 1.xx or 2.xx ROM, do not use a 3.xx ROM.
Download 7-zip, make sure it is 9.20 version and up.
Using 7-zip, open the official ROM update exe file. Do not execute it.
Inside you will see RUU_signed.nbh, extract just that file. Nothing else.
rename RUU_signed.nbh, to leoimg.nbh
Copy leoimg.nbh into your SD card which is FAT16 or FAT32 formatted.
Unplug the battery from the HD2, count to 10, replace the battery.
Hold the VOLUME DOWN button, DO NOT LET GO.
Press the POWER BUTTON, then let go.
Follow the instructions on the screen when the device goes to RECOVERY mode.
Please note, this method will remove your HSPL and replace it with official SPL. It will also over-write your RADIO and ROM.
Everything will be as it is stated, a full factory recover.
I am trying todo this on my hd2, to get it back to "stock" wm6.5.
I am having some problems with this. I can get into the bootloader and from my pc initiate the flash. But then it just hangs at 0%.
Anyone got any ideas to what i can do to get it back to "stock" wm6.5 from Android?
Do you still have hspl installed? Are you using the orignal stock rom for your device? Try putting device into bootloader mode first and then connect to your pc, does usb appear on the phone screen when connected?
I can boot it into the bootloader.. I've got SPL 2.08 installed atm on it.
It does register USB when i plug it in.
When i then start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the extracted ROM, and follow the steps, the screen changes to the HTC flash screen, and stops. Nothing happens at all.
I have flashed it with MAGLDR 1.11 to get android on it. I run into the same issues if i want to try and upgrade it to 1.12. I cant remember my radio version.

Do you have spl 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl installed? You need the latter one if you are flashing a rom which is not officially meant for your phone.

You will also have to remove HSPL as it is a customized Special Program Loader. Just flash using the .nbh files and that should overwrite the HSPL with the stock SPL. If you use Customruu directly (without modifications) it will not replace the HSPL.
you have to make sure to use a 2gb sd card or less or else it wont work

While your Pbone is off hold the volume down button and momentaraly press the power (end) button this should make the bootloader come up (tri color screen). Once in bootloader plug your USB cable into the computer and phone. wait until you see USB in the white bottom bar of the phone screen and then run the RUU or exe wich ever one you have for the ROM you want to flash, this is for Windows Mobile ROMs only though.
If you want you can use a micro SD card to flash the ROM also. You need a 4G or smaller SD card to do this though the 16GB card that comes with the TMOUS HD2 generaly will not work but you can try it. Take and find the RUU_signed.nbh file in the Rom folder you have, it may not look exactly like that but it will have RUU and .nbh in it. Rename the file leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card and repeat the process to go into bootloader and as soon as you see searching appear on your phone screen release the volume up button and the ROM will flash it just might take alittle longer for the ROM to complete the flash this way as compared to using a computer to flash.
Thank you for you reply After several attempts I managed to get my winmo back on
Two questions: So do I still have MAGLDR and CMR after flashin' that stock rom ?
I can see in the bootloader that I'm back on SPL 3.03. Does that mean that I'm back on warranty and HSPL2 is uninstalled?
Thanks!

Yes you lost MAGLDR, HSPL, and CMR when you flashed the stock ROM. If bootloader is showing SPL 3.O3.OOOO then you are stock once again You can always be double sure of this by downloading HSPL 4and run it, when it ask you what version you want to install select 3.03.0000. The ones with SPL and the x.xx.0000 are all stock SPLs but 3.03.0000 is the latest stock SPL.

Hi there
I got an HD2 from a friend (he bought off ebay) and seems to just boot to the Tmobile sticking together logo and won't boot.
I don't think it charges as well...
there was no lines (radio?) at the bottom of the Sticking Together pink square screen...
is this phone bricked? or can I still flash a rom?
Ok try this, turn the phone off then hold the low volume botton n the power botton at the same time, n if it takes u to the bootloader then u r good, just search on how to install a rom of ur choise, good luck

Well the fact that it will even turn on means it is not bricked. A bricked HD2 will not even turn on the most it will do is flash tihe led light and vibrait a couple of times.
Follow the instructions of the above post and pull up bootloader, if bootloader comes up you can save the HD2. Depending on if you want to flash a official srock ROM or a custom ROM to the HD2 will dictate your next step.
If you want a official stock ROM then just download and flash the official update from T-Mobile.com just type in HTC HD2 update in the search box on the home page and you will find it. You will have to enter the IMEI number to download it wich you can find this number behind the battery. To flash it connect the HD2 to a computer via USB cable while in bootloader and wait for the serial in the white bar at the bottom of the bootloader screen to change to USB and the computer to show it recognizes the HD2 then run the update utility and follow all the on screen instructions.
If you want to flash a custom ROM as in custom Windows Mobile, NAND Andriod ROM, or Windows Phone 7 ROM then you will have to flash HSPL to the HD2. Download HSPL4 and flash 2.08 HSPL if hou want to flash a NAND Andriod ROM as MAGLDR only supports 2.08 HSPL. Or a Windows Phone 7 Rom, or flash 3.03 if you just want to flash a custom Windows Mobile ROM.
Now if you want a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 you will have to download MAGLDR and flash it to the HD2.
If you want a custom Windows Mobile ROM download the ROM of your choice and fladh it using the .exe or RUU wich ever one the ROM has. Note do all flashing of what I have previously mentioned via the method I mentioned before.
If you are wanting to flash a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM then download the ROM of your coice and flash it using MAGLDR and the instructions of the ROM developer in thread for the ROM.
Now this is very important. I see from the picture you have a T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2 so no matter what you do, do not flash a ROM with a radio version that reads like these 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any radio that is x.xx.51.xx they will brick/kill a TMOUS HD2.

I would recommend flashing a stock T-Mobile ROM, since that appears to be the flavor of the phone. This will install the correct radio. Once the phone is working, continue as per normal for flashing the ROM. You will have to reinstall hardspl.

try this:
1) download your stock ROM.
2) put it on your SD card via a card reader, you want an .NBH file.
3) rename the file LEOIMG.NBH
4) make sure the phone is off, make sure your SD card is back in your phone.
5) hold down and power
6) it should go to a tri-color screen and say something about flashing the image, hit power to confirm
7) it should flash no problems.

Have exactly the same problem with my friends phone.
Its a TMOUS and sticks on the same boot screen.
He screwed it up when trying to install Android NAND on it.
I can enter bootloader And I have managed to get rid of MAGLDR and CWM.
I have HSPL 3.03 installed on it, but when I try to install the latest ROM from TMOUS it fails at 8% and tells me that
'ERROR 290: INVALID COMMAND
This update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility'
Tried copying the relevant file to the SD card and renaming it leoimg.nbh but the install fails HERE aswell with the error:

I managed to install an energyrom onto it, but it wouldnt go past the initial boot screen

Try running a Task 29 on your friends HD2. This willtotally clean out the NAND memory of the HD2 and reformat it, kinda sounds like that is what is needed to be done. He may have messed the NAND memory format up when he was trying to install the Andriod. You will have to reflash a Windows Mobile ROM after you run the Task 29 as it will not ha e a ROM on the phone then. You will not have to reflash HSPL cause it will not remove it.
It seems that the problem is RADIO related. I can task 29, and I can install The latest Energyrom, but I CANT install a radio.
There is no radio ON the phone at the minute it seems. When I try to do a radio install, it asks me if I want to go from version ' ' to the update I am using.
None of the installers see a radio on the phone, and trying to install the radio always fails at 96%. This would seem to be the same if I try to install the official TMOUS latest ROM with radio from SD Card. It fails at the radio install part.......
Maybe time for a new thread for this one.......

Yes you can flash radio and ROM from your SD card. Here is a link to the thread on doing this gives step by step, check it out.
Hi Guys,
I am getting desperate with my HD2. I've read and tried most of your advices here on XDA, but I can't get rid of HSPL from my phone and return to stock ROM to send it for repair.
When I tried to flash my phone directly from SD card with renamed .nbh file, it would always get stuck at some point of installation and would leave me with phone that wouldn't boot, neither Android nor Windows. When I flash the phone thru USB while in boot loader mode (i tried few roms and radios, most recently radio 2.06.51.07 with HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2 rom)
It would install correctly and even boot the Win Mobile, but once restarted it wouldn't boot again and would get stuck on a blank white screen. Also the HSPL is still shown on the boot loader screen.
when I repeated the process and installed both radio and rom again, the same thing would repeat and I'm stuck on blank screen again.
My boot loader screen shows this:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
cotulla HSPL 0x40
The phone was from UK Virgin mobile, but came unbranded and I'm not sure what the stock rom was. I tried flashing it with SPL 2.08, but that wouldn't get me rid off the HSPL.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Get hspl2, and choose 1.66.0000
Retry the wwe 1.66 rom again.
Post results.
Spl 2.x is tmous spl, and doesn't like to let itself downgrade, which is what the 1.66 rom is trying to do.
thanks for the reply!
Just tried and it went without any error logs (only took couple of seconds) and claimed it was successfully installed, but when restarted, the boot loader screen still says SPL-2.08 HSPL.
any other ideas?
stuck radio then, most likely, which often prevemts spl from changing too.
no definitive answer as to what exactly causes it, , corrupted nand most likely.
when you say it sticks part way thru the flashing, , does it stick around 8-10%? if so then its definitely a stuck radio problem. do you get 'radio_rsa fail' or something similar?
sadly there isn't any way i know of to fix it. all i can suggest is you try various troms from sd. i read one thread (out of hundreds with teh same issue) where the OP finally found one stock rom that took.
dont forget that it needs to be teh correct stock rom, not just any stock rom. so an O2 uk hd2 must use o2 uk stock roms. 1.42, 1.72 or 3.14.
locate your correct stock roms and try them all.
Yea exactly thats what I get when flashing from SD card, stuck soon at around 10% and brings up the radio fail log.
When I do that and try to flash them all from SD card, shall I install radio first or it doesn't matter when flashing ROM from SD card?
Any idea how to find out what's the stock rom for my hd2? I tried HTC site but you can't download anything from there for HD2 since they updated their site.
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

doesnt matter when flashing stock roms, they all imclude a radio. It cant hurt to try flashing teh radio separately, but i suspect teh same outcome.

pretty sure virgin phones came rom unlocked, so look at teh filenames of teh roms, , you want 'HTC-WWE' where HTC means unbranded, and wwe means world wide english.
example
o2 branded rom filename .. RUU_Leo_S_O2_UK_3.14.206.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
unbranded rom filename ... RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
ALso, see the green numbers? thats the same for all same roms, so all o2 roms are 206 and all unbranded wwe are 405
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

shouldnt matter, but again it cant hurt to fully format the phone to fat32, full format, not quick format.
Thanks for your help man! Will try and post results later.

When I tried to flash my phone directly from SD card with renamed .nbh file, it would always get stuck at some point of installation and would leave me with phone that wouldn't boot, neither Android nor Windows.

Thats because you are not booting into the right bootloader. See pt 4 below.
No need for all the hassle, there is a really easy way to do this. This will revert your phone ENTIRELY. Remember to have at least 50% battery before doing this:
1.Download official ROM and extract with winRAR or WinZip.
2.Rename the *.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
3.Format a SD card with FAT32 and put the LEOIMG.nbh file in the root directory
4.Insert the card to the phone and enter bootloader (While phone is Off:Hold Volume down & press power button)
5. The bootloader will recognize the .nbh file and ask if you want to flash it. Follow instructions
6.Wait a few minutes and you are back to WM6.5
Tried, doesnt work. Explained in the first post.
why are you sending it for repair in the first place?
I dropped it once and since then has the screen got some weird yellowish/greenish colours. seems like some contacts got fu**ed up, but there isnt any mechanical damage visible, so they should repair under the warranty.
But only if in bootloader the spl says 1.42.0000 1.66.0000 or 3.03.0000
Anything else will be rejected.
What you mean by 'not the right boot loader'. I did get it to start installation and recognise the file, but after a while it would come up with a error log saying something like radio failed or something like that...
Yea I know, thats why Im trying to put it back to stock.
what size sd card are you flashing the .nbh file from? you will need to use a 4gb or smaller sd card.
what he meant by the right bootloader i think was to be flashing the .nbh from the tri-color bootloader, not from MAGLDR or CWM Recovery.
If you are using a 4gb or smaller card and it's still failing at the radio, then you might as well try flashing a few different radio's by themselves and maybe you'll get one of them to take, then possibly be able to get out of HSPL
well yea, thats what will be trying to do next.
it wont let me to MAGLDR or CWM, seems like these files got corrupted too so yea, im using the tri-color bootloader.
and its 2GB sd card im using
so i guess the only way now is to try flash different roms...
dude 2-3 days back even i was facing the same problem, and here i am writing , how i get through this. i guess you already tried this, but still i am writing so that you get some help...
1)i use hspl2 and select 1.42.0000 to remove my hspl 2.08.
2)extract stock rom using "7-zip" and in the extracted folder find "RUU_signed.nbh" rename it to "LEOIMG.nbh". copy that file to your formated fat32 micro sd card.
3) reset the your hd2 while holding vol down and end call button.
4) first a tri-color screen will appear, keep pressing both the buttons, then a gray screen will come with written "loading".
5) after that 1 more gray screen will appear, loose the vol down button now, rest everything will go smooth, u dont have to do anything.

but if you return to hspl 1.42.000 the you cant flash your rom ..you need hspl 2.08 only to flash
Thanks zaaaan but I got bit luckier and virgin replaced the phone for no extra charge. I was 2 weeks before the end of the contract and I gave it a shot, sent it to virgin. They got back to me saying that they cant repair it and will therefore send me a replacement phone. I got new desire, bit smaller, but android on it runs really nicely and most of all its built for it, so no more flashing and killed hours of running in circles.
then I got 20£ discount just to stay with them on no contract. they got me
should probably add that the phone still had hspl on it
So i was trying to put android with easy android and it seemed like it worked, it said we hacked it at the end. Now the phone doesnt boot up. I even tried hard resetting any help? Do i need to flash a radio? If so how and which radio?
Full filename of anything you flashed plus tmous or regular? What does "wont boot up" mean?
Details details details.
Im tmobile US. Theres an application that does an automated process. It's called Easy Android. I dont have the link for the post but it's hear on xda. When the phone boots up it just shows the T-mobile logo.
Please tell me if you need more info.
oh right, well in taht case its almost certainly either the wrong hspl or the wrong radio.
Magldr wont start unless BOTH spl is 2.08.hspl and radio is 2.07.50 or higher , but since you have a tmous the radio must be OK, so it must be the spl
enter bootloader (phone off, hold hold keep holding voldown, tap and release power, hold voldown till tri colour screen appears) what does spl line say?
Hey
Its 2.08 HSPL
BTW i appreciate the help
in that case i'd be heading back to a stock rom, get it back to as-new and start over.
Grab either the 2.13 or 3.14 TMOUS roms and flash via sd card. that will put it back to as new, then apply 2.08.hspl - magldr - cwm - rom.(get the toolkit)
I wont have a problem finding the rom, but i just need to know how do you flash the rom, do you just enter bootloader and it auto installs?
Thanks
get the phone into bootloader mode, and make sure the computer detects the phone before you start the flashing process (i.e. running the RUU).
If the rom comes in an exe file, rename it and make the file extension .zip
Then go into the .zip file and remove the file which has the file extension .nbh
Rename this file to LEOIMG.nbh
Put this file at the root of a 4Gb or smaller sd card
Put the card into your phone and boot into bootloader (hold vol down button while booting)
Should find and flash the rom all by its self, might ask you to press a certain button to confirm, been a long time, I can't remember for sure if you have to press a confirmation button
Wait for it top finish
Make sure you have 50% or greater battery before you flash
MAKE SURE you have the correct stock rom for your phone. There are different stock roms for different HD2's depending on what model HD2 you have. Flash the wrong one you could be screwed for good
Okay, running RUU while in bootloader worked perfect.
Got the ruu straight from tmobile.
Windows 7 auto installed bootloader drivers for me.
