Bootloader Problem - SOLVED - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Hello, i have noticed something rather strange? and want to know if this is a normal / typical Bootloader Behavior. I will post a Video link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCSaQi9cLrw
the thing is, the last time i entered the bootloader i noticed that now i must wait much longer for it to become fully loaded ? Normally after starting the phone, the bootloader needs several seconds and it's up and running. Now i see a strange Loading message and must wait. The actual Loader is working normal, but this is not the thing i was used to ? Do anyone know if this is some sort of a problem, do i need to reflash the HSPL again. I have used the device with many roms, recently i have done Task 29 to clear it, but i don't thing it's related. Everything was fine until today ?
What do you think ?

Definitely not normal bootloader behavior.
I would try flashing HSPL again.
You're right, Task 29 does not affect this partition.

If i want to reflash it ? what must i actually do. Do the normal flash, described in the HSPL post ? or there is something different. I don't want to brick the phone

I would first try to download the .nbh and custom ruu.exe file and try flashing that way;
Sync with ActiveSync, place the RUU.exe and .nbh file in the same folder and run the ruu.exe
If you try the autoinstaller, you will likely get the commercial use error, so try the other method first. If you get the error, just open a ticket and explain your situation.

So you say, to replace the 2.51 HSPL with the 2.5.nbh file using customruu for Topaz. Just like flashing any normal rom ? Is there a problem that i have an active rom on the Device ? Can that reflash procedure brick the phone, i mean, if the bootloader goes wrong, this will be a serious problem
EDIT: i did the reflash. No change after flashing 2.51 again. I actually have no idea what this is ? but it does not affect the phone directly. If somehow the partition is corrupt , partially, as long as it works i will be fine
If you have other ideas ?

No other ideas.
It could be your partition is becoming corrupt or perhaps screen calibration is delayed for some reason.

Actually i have tested XDAndroid few times. But it's all SD related there. I don't think that it's trying to change something in that Boot partition ?
The thing is, i have done task 29 after that and there was nothing new or strange with the bootloader. Actually as much as i know, the SD builds dont even touch the NAND flash on the device, at least there are non for Topaz yet...
The new behavior of the bootloader came from nowhere and not after making some radical changes to the device. Just like that...

Correct, XDAnroid wouldn't affect the bootloader partition.
You may need a new memory chip eventually.

do you have a NBH file on your SD card, that could cause this screen to appear.

Yes, that was the problem. I removed the SD card and the problems was gone. One of the files on the Memory Card was the cause of the problem. Thanks mate !!

Good to know this cmonex .
We know boot loader does load NBH file from SD, and we just ignored that .

3rd day of headache but my Pure just wont HSPL, sos

Ok my last 3 days I've been simply trying to install some custom ROMs and did all the reading and research step by step, but my AT&T HTC Pure just wont update the HSPL no matter what.
Steps I've taken so far:
1. Formatted SD Card
2. Obtained and put goldcard.img on SD Card
3. Fully connected phone via Windows Mobile Device Center
4. Antivirus turned off
5. Tried Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL in in auto-mode, fails telling me " Fatal Error" and underneath "Please make sure the device is properly synced; Please retry after syncing device (via Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center)" which I have...
6. Tried installing ENABLERAPINEW.cab with results "unsuccessful" (but again my phone does sync just fine, I still took this step)
7. Tried Manual Flash, my phone never goes into bootloader, and right after "verifying phone information" shows screen saying "ERROR [224]: DEVICE NOT RESPONDING"
8. Tried entering bootloader mode and during auto-mode to flash, tells me same exact thing as without bootloader
9. Tried Manual Flash in bootloader, it gets to flashing screen with a progress bar at 0% on both PC and phone forever, I waited 20 mins and it didn't change.
It seems as if there is something preventing RUU to be writing anything on my phone, so that's why it throws connection error, but I am not sure. And I am seriously loosing all hope in this and dont know what to do, so HELP please!
Update
I also forgot to mention that I tried to Hard_SPL from another computer that is Windows XP, used Activesync, which didn't work either...
The only thing i can tell you is to read this thread (what you have already done i think)

you cant flash hardspl on the sd card, it must be done over activsync. u dont put it on your card, you run it from your computer. make a new folder{on your computer} and name it whatever , then unrar the file into the folder, then you should be able to flash the hardspl.make sure the ruu and the nbh file are in the folder.

I do run Custom RUU from desktop local drive and not from SD Card and results mentioned above are the ones I get. Again tried with phone on, it just tells me ERROR [224] and never goes into bootloader or anything. Tried entering the the phone to bootloader manually and connecting it to usb and run RUU, it goes a little further where it finally gets to screen of flashing progress but freezes at 0% and thats it.
Could missteps in obtaining Goldcard be the reason for such behavior?

Yes, you can flash ANY .nbh from your SD card by renaming it TOPAIMG.nbh.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is goldcard?
What is the current SPL?
I agree leemoss. You need Hardspl from your system. First synch your phone to system through Active sync. Execute the HardSpl.183, select auto flash.
Second thing i noted is on SDcard you have to rename the ROM file and store it as TOPAIMG.nbh and place in the root folder.
I read about people having problems, and the ones that weren't spent the 20 bucks on the Sim unlocker. I'd never flashed a phone before, so I went that route. It's worth it IMO.

But it just doesnt work, but again I flashed HSPL and custom ROMs before on my Xperia X1a (unlocked) without any problems. I attached a pic of my bootloader, and when I try to run some custom ROM which I name TOPAIMG.nbh it enter screen "loading..." and freezes so have to rest my phone by taking battery out so it loads back just fine.
Again this phone I am using is HTC Pure by AT&T and thats what confuses me, maybe I really do have to SIM unlock my phone before I can HSPL and flash custom .nbh ROMs?

My stock SPL is in pic attached, and Goldcard.img suppose to be something I had to put on my SD Card so that I have SuperCID so I can flash HSPL and any custom ROMs, you can read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530335

You only need to CID unlock to flash ROMs, if you buy the SIM unlocker you get both CID and Security unlocked but it still may not work.
I see you have 1.8.33 which is good because there is not a working HSPL for 2.54
You say you tried running custom ROMs as TOPAIMG.nbh, but did you try it with the HSPL nhb? It would be the same process as doing a ROM from SD card.
I would also get rid of goldcard as that is only to recover a bricked device.
Get all goldcard stuff off your card and PC, reformatt your card to Fat32 the place the renamed TOPAIMG.nbh and proceed to bootloader.
One last pointer, another method to flash is to download Topaz Custom RUU Wrapper and put the exe file in the same folder as the .nbh on your desktop and run the .exe after your sync'd. **Make sure all firewalls and antivirus are off.**
Good Luck.

Tried still same results... freezes at flashing with 0% at progress bar. I attached view screens that concern me that RUU cant read my stock ROM Image version, is this normal? The only other thing I am gonna try to do is maybe reinstall the entire Windows Mobile Device Center, besides that I am clueless.
Have you install the enablerapinew.cab first?
If so, I'm outta tricks. Others have been having issues as well in the HSPL thread. You may have to wait for an update.
I don't think its anything on your PC unless firewall or AV aren't turned off.
Remove SD-Card and Sim-Card before HardSPL from PC. I had 2 TouchDuals before TD2, one was no prob to flash, second needed SD-Card to be removed! Once HardSPL succeeded you may leave SD-Card in TD2.
WORKING!!!
YES!!! I finally got it to SPL, what it was that my phone could not accept any .cab installations due to security issue with "unknown publisher" signature, that's why my phone didn't allow me to install enablerapinew.cab but then I just hard reset my phone installed enablerapinew.cab and everything worked, YEY! Thank you Bruce Inman, and everyone else who spend time to try to guide me through my issues, tnx!
i didnt unlock mine. all i did was flash it.theres gotta be sumthn ur doin wrong.

Issue with my HD2

Hey so i just picked up an hd2 on craigslist. when the seller handed my the phone he showed me the phone working and then did a hard reset so i thought nothing of it and took the phone while it was resetting. then while waiting for it to boot i noticed it was taking quite a while so i took out the battery and let it reboot, it turned on then froze on the homescreen. i've tried several hard resets and have gotten the phone to the point where it works but only after putting in a removing the battery several times and the phone sticking on the "stick together" logo. I was going to try to do the newest tmobile update on the phone using the one available on their website but now i have an issue plugging the phone into the computer or wall adapter as it will make the phone freeze and ill have to go back through my removing the battery 5 times process. is this some sort of common issue with a common fix or should i take the phone to tmobile or htc and see what they can do for me. i dont have a receipt as a purchased the phone on craigslist so im not sure tmobile will do anything for me.
Edit: i can now connect my phone to the pc i'm trying to update to 2.13.531.1 but i got to 8% but the update froze there and the phone currently has no image version. I'm using windows 7 ultimate and ive tried to run as administrator and with xp service pack 3 compatibility.

I would put the phone in boot load manually by holding the volume down button while turning it on, and remove the memory card and then reflash the tmobile rom
can someone also help me figure out how to get the ruu.nbh file off this rom and how big it should be so i can try to flash it from the sd card. thanks

What error did it give you? Found an nbh file? was it from a stock rom? Do you have Hard SPL on it? If it doesnt have HSPL on it then you will only be able to load a stock rom

no i have not run hard spl so i can only install a stock rom a suppose. the exe gets stuck at 8%, i have no idea where the right nbh file is. i read somewhere when you run the exe it installs the nbh in a temp folder but im not sure i found the right one. ive also downloaded task29 and tried to run as admin but it doesnt do anything just goes to the htc install screen and stays at 0% Getting frustrating it was working fine actually before i tried to install the new tmobile software update. ive read that task29 gets rid of extra leftovers of other roms and might help the exe finish up on the phone and get past that 8% wall but it doesnt seem to be working for me
right click the stock exe file choose extract here, will give 9 or so files, one of them is about 200meg and is called ruu_signed.nbh that's the file you want.
randomly flashing nbh files that you don't know what they are, that's about the stupidest thing you can do...... you deserve a brick for being an idiot.

lol thank you for the words of encouragement, so i've extracted the .nbh file its 268mb, renamed it to leoimg.nbh tried the update from the sd card and it fails at the radio says, update terminated, update FAIL. any idea where to go from here?
Edit: i've run hspl3 on the phone is boot loader mode and have also run task29 from doloop but still get the same error with the tmobile file. 8% using the exe and FAIL trying to flash from the sd card
heh you're welcome. (i was harsh to make the point,,, if you found a random bottle of liquid that said petrol on it, you wouldn't put it in your car till you were sure it was petrol, right?)
as to why it failed, i'm not sure, i think i'd probably hspl3, choose 2.08.hspl, then try flash a radio on its own (see the tmous radio thread) because it could be a bad radio.
just please confirm the exact filename of the .exe you extracted ruu_signed from?

The first exe file, which got to 8 percent then went red and failed was
T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1
After hspl3 and using task29 i tried flashing this exe which gets to 99% and fails
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42
that second one, did you flash from sd card? cos its a manufacturing test rom, and if so then you may now be stuck with a test spl of 2.02, and if so things just got a heap worse,,,
go into bootloader and tell me what it says next to spl

i tried flashing using the .exe method in bootloader mode. next to spl it reads -2.08.hspl 8g XE
it now says
Upgrade ROM code error
ah ok, good.
so, it seems to be the radio causing the error, so since you have hspl installed, why not try a custom rom? they don't include a radio, so it may bypass the problem.

Which do you suggest, i bought the phone so that i could ultimately install android on it. but it seems i'd be lucky to even have wm running on the thing
Edit. just tried kumars classic rom, renamed to leoimg tried running off the sd card, The update finishes successfully but after i hit the reset button on the back of the phone i just see the tmobile stick together logo and the phone doesnt boot. Do a lot of people struggle with the hd2s or do i just have a bad example here?
well unfortunately i think you may have a dud. its the radio that is preventing it from booting.
it could be the radio from that test rom, it could be something else (but still the radio)
options...
its still under warranty, speak to t mobile and/or htc, but don't mention flashing and be sure to remove hspl if you do send it back. (run hspl3, choose 2.08.0000, that's stock)
or
look on here for a user called xmoo, he knows a lot about this sort of problem, (im just good with regular flashing issues)
im having the same issue so if you believe its the radio will installing different radio maybe fix the problem?
i;ve tried installing a new radio from the sd card. it goes red and fails
It sounds like a hardware issue at this point. I'm willing to bet you fried something when you pulled the battery in the middle of the master reset.
Hope thats something htc will cover. Phones on its way over

[Q] Bootloader, battery drain and cannot "Haret" Android anymore.

All,
I try to make it as brief as possible.
this is what i post on the winmo section :
Dear All,
I try to make it short:
1. from winmo migrated to android
2. HSPL-ed 2.08
3. ran task29
4. installed barebone energy rom
5. clrd and haret. use mdeejay froyo android rom.
6. not satisfied with PPP and camera
7. wanna change back to winmo
8. CANNOT ENTER BOOTLOADER
9. pull out sd card, battery and sim card for 15 mins
10. hold -vol, successfully entered BOOTLOADER
11. have to repeat same procedure "pull out sd card, baterry and sim card for 15 mins" in order to enter booatloader
12. try enter bootloader from activesync, failed! have to pull out everything for 15mins in order to enter bootloader.
why is it happen "that" way? is it because of android (haret? or clrd?)? how to get back my normal way of entering bootloader without pulling out everything for 15mins?...
thanks
Amir

Now:
My battery drained even faster, 15% per hour
my idle process used 100% at all time
i cant "normally" enter bootloader anymore. see above quote.
i cant run Android anymore. i used to run on Android before. i took all action required provided in this forum. but still didnt success.
when running Haret, my screen stuck at green HTC logo and black background. i left it for night long, but still stuck.
i reformat sd card, not quick format, format thru pc and hp, still no luck
what should i do now?
Hope this helped
So let me summerize your probs,
1-Bootloader can't be accessed normally.
2-Android won't boot.
3-Battery Drains alot.
TBH I've never faced such problem, but try to start freshly, from scratch.
1-Run task29 to remove installed ROM.
2-Flash a new ROM, different than the old one.
3- Format Memory card (without putting the back up back)
4-Try to enter bootloader (vol v-^ boot) [Your first & third problem may be solved here,proceed to next step]
5-Put a fresh Android folder, without using the old one and without using a back up .
6- Boot Android
a few questions :
What radio did you have ?
Did you flash recently a stock rom with HSPL on ?
Does this problem happen with a certain Android build or all builds ?
Feedback what happened.

Thanks, at last!
you are right, thats summarized what are the problems that ive been facing now.
I always ran task29 before any installations of new ROM
I flashed various of official ROMs and cooked ROMs. None of them giving the result that I want. The battery still draining like hell and I cant access bootloader normally. I have to pull out everything for 15mins 1st, put it back, then I can access bootloader by holding up -vol. But still, it wont solve my battery issue.
I formatted my SD thru HP, thru PC (full format, not quick format), nothing happen at all. Still cant load Haret/Android. I left it for night long, stuck at HTC logo with black background.
To Answer your questions
various Radio(s) I've tried; .50,.51 including the newest one.
yes, I flash stock ROM with HSPL on when I encounter this problem
Its happen to all build, Winmo and Android.
phew, I still believe that I've taken necessary steps in order to get back my HD2 to perform at its normal condition.
Thanks, Please advise.

I flashed various of official ROMs and cooked ROMs. None of them giving the result that I want. The battery still draining like hell and I cant access bootloader normally. I have to pull out everything for 15mins 1st, put it back, then I can access bootloader by holding up -vol. But still, it wont solve my battery issue.
I formatted my SD thru HP, thru PC (full format, not quick format), nothing happen at all. Still cant load Haret/Android. I left it for night long, stuck at HTC logo with black background.
To Answer your questions
various Radio(s) I've tried; .50,.51 including the newest one.
yes, I flash stock ROM with HSPL on when I encounter this problem
Its happen to all build, Winmo and Android.
phew, I still believe that I've taken necessary steps in order to get back my HD2 to perform at its normal condition.
Thanks, Please advise.

Maybe your HSPL is defected (Idk how would that happen)
But try to remove it, flash stock ROM 3.14, Don't HSPL, Try to run android, different build.
And never use 51 radio ! .. Always stick to 50 .. also what class your sd-card is ?
Because I've never read about your problem anywhere ..
Faris,
ive tried flash various HSPL from 1.42 till 2.08. still have same probs.
and i already tried 3.12 official rom, still batt prob and wont solve bootloader prob.
yeah, im on .50 radio now.
ive 2 SD cards, 8GB each, class 1 and class 2.
thanks.

ok. ive done it just now. no luck
thanks btw, u helped me a lot!
You're having a major problem ! you almost resetted your device to new ! How come you're still facing problems, Have you got your phone fell of a Highrise ?

[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!
Rob
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] Possibly burnt HD2 - Cannot re-flash radio, magldr or task29

Hello people, I have been going through threads and threads regarding similar problems, but having tried and failed with so many strategies, I will have to bother you all.
So the thing is I was using a CM Jellytime MOD (data on ext) in my HD2, and having frequent hangs and freezes that I thought were linked to LCD malfunction, so I ordered a new screen and digitizer to see if I could save the device. Unluckily, just before these arrived, the HD2 suffered one final freeze, after which every soft reset would give the white blank screen and nothing else. I thought that maybe I should task29 the device and re install the ROM. The bootloader can be still accessed and I re-flashed HSPL with no problems.
But I cannot get to Magldr, as you can imagine, as there is no way to go through the white blank screen. Every time I try to re-flash either the radio (2.15.50.xx), Magldr, or even task29, I get "update errors", and no changes. I tried both using the specific utilities or the NANDtoolkit, to no avail.
I even tried MTTY, which seemed to go well, but did not bring any changes to the situation. It is still the same.
This is my bootloader screen:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
CotullaHSPL 0x05
0x30
Any other info that you think may help I will post it ASAP.
I have read that maybe the NAND has finally died, but I'm not sure and would not abandon the cause without some feedback. Can someone help with this? I will greatly appreciate, I live in Argentina and I don't think I will be able to get another smartphone (I got this one from a good friend who bought himself another one) right now, or ever
If I'm lucky I may be able to sell the LCD and touchscreen replacement, ha.
Thank you all!
pd: sorry if I posted in the wrong thread but I was really confused with the whole subforum arrangement. I moderate a forum and I am aware of how painful it is to start moving threads around.
@leandrox :i recommend removing the sd-card if present, flashing hspl 2.08 again.
Then, flash radio 2.15.50 (even if you tried before, try again now). if that was successful, reflashing magldr should be the success.
Or else...
Also, try putting your hd2 in a freezer, sometimes there may be overheating problems from what i used to see

Hello @Gilbert, thanks for helping with this.
I have tried each flash with the SD and the SIM out, as I have read around about both interfering with flashing. So I guess that's not the problem.
I will try the "pre-cooling method" and tell you how it goes.
Is there any chance I should remove HSPL before re-flashing it? Also, does the battery charge while connected in bootloader mode? Because I am afraid I will finally run out of power througout the try and error processes.
Thanks again.

not sure about removing hspl... you can try that tho. as for battery, you're probably right. there's a possibility it runs out of power.
did you try flashing stock rom from sd or usb? (emphasizing on sd method)

I guess that would be the next wise step (and I'll do it with the right pre-cooling in the freezer).
Correct me if I'm wrong:
- I need a FAT32 (?) formatted SD.
- Then copy the official nbh to the root of the SD, renamed as "leoimg.nbh". (still looking for the correct download; maybe here o here?)
- Enter bootloader screen, with the SD on. After a little while, it should read "loadng" and the flashing can begin.
After this, hopefully, has worked, I should be able to:
- Reflash HSPL 2.08
- Reflash latest radio if needed.
- Reflash Magldr and Clk
- Install new Android ROM
... but I'm looking way ahead my actual hopes
EDIT: I could not download the ROM from any of the quoted sites. Maybe someone can indicate to me the right ROM from this list: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Leo
My model is the 576 RAM one.

Correct. don't forget that the sd should be between 1 and 8 gb in size (that's what i remember, larger sizes could do weird stuff)

RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe this is the one i used IIRC
Ok @Gilbert, here's the update. No good news so far.
I tried flasing the mentioned official ROM from SD card and I get the "Update terminate / Update failed" message when installing. I also tried with a custom RUU but I got the same message.
I have been reading this thread where some guy apparently had the same problem and fixed it:
"After that I made a new goldcard using Duttys Leo Sense 2.5 Multi-Lang. "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5384679&postcount=68
but I cannot understand what this actually means. I downloaded the mentioned Dutty ROM but it is a cab file that I don't know how to flash to the HD2.
I still have a tiny hope that the phone may actually come back to life. Again, thanks a lot for helping!

OK. Back to work then.
I will follow this tutorial. But I see I need an ActiveSync/MobileDeviceCenter connection. I don't think you can do that when you have no OS on the phone, right? Can I do this while in the bootloader?
Should I take any additional precautions attempting the process from W8-x64?
EDIT: It seems I need another phone to put the microSD on so I can get the correct CID with RevSkills (apparently you need the device to be connected through the MobileDeviceCenter or it fails). Then I may be able to ask someone else to get me a goldcard for said CID.

I remember there being tutorials for making a goldcard, that need to have a microSD adapter only, no other device, and others that tell you how to get cid from an android phone.that doesn't require PSAS like in the tutorial you're following

making goldcard is easy...
i remember getting cid and writing it reversed to http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html (choose reversed cid iirc), downloading goldcard.img, opening sd with some hex editor (hxd i recommend) and writing goldcard.img content to it
you should read the tutorials available online, as what i said could be a lot wrong

I have tried to flash the phone with the Goldcard through this method. I am wondering wether I should expect something different after the bootloader starts, because I just get to the same point as I did when trying to flash it without the Goldcard, and getting the same failed "update terminate / update fail" message. Maybe I did not prepare the Goldcard well. Or maybe the phone mainboard ROM/NAND is simply ruined :crying:
I have to assume that the radio must be bricked. From what I read, this is the only thing that can actually brick your device when you still can get to the tricolored bootloader. Everytime I try to flash a ROM, it fails while flashing the Radio, so there has to be a hardware problem that prevents it. I still wonder how that happened.
I was running JellyTime, and then all of the sudden the phone froze and then just didn't turn on again (blank white screen). Can overheating ruin the NAND or ROM? Should I consider this battle as lost? I am so disappointed...
I read about one user who concluded that all you can do is flash a ROM with no radio, and keep the phone only as an Android device (no phone use). He told me I should get a dev or cooker to cook a radio-less ROM so I can do that. Does anyone know if there's a ROM like this I could use?
