$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.

Telstra Rom - not flashing

Folks,
HD2 from Telstra ( 2nd May ) running 1.66. Tried flashing it with 1.48 and 1.43 Rom's -- so I could then go to HSPL and a custom Rom, but no luck.
The Rom Update Utility starts and tells me I have image version 1.72.841.0, I click to update to 1.43.405.1 ( or 1.48 - have tried both ), then the 4 colour screen which notes 1.66. Then it goes to a HTC screen with a deployment bar, gets to only 1%.......then boom - error 294 invalid vendor id.......
What am I missing here ??

you need to flash thedowngrade from sd card, then you can hspl, and THEN flash from usb

At least your effort got that far.... i couldnt even see the zip open.
OS 5.2.21869
Manila 2.5.20121431.1
Rom 1.72.841.0
If someone can confirm what I need to do with what i'd REALLY appreciate it.
Have the backup rom just incase already.

you missed out all the important info.
what zip can't you open? what phone? what you trying to achieve?
assuming telstra like the op,
1 right click the telstra 1.4 rom .exe choose unzip here, or extract here
2 find ruu signed.nbh copy it to sd card rename it leoimg.nbh
3 phone off hold vol down, tap and release power, keep holding voldown till you see three coloured screen, should quickly change grey and start a card flash.
4 when complete and phone restarts hold vol down to re enter bootloader
5 run hspl as administrator using a usb port round the back of the pc,
6 when it completes, and phone reboots, enter bootloader yet again, and check that it says spl 1.42.hspl.
now, so long as you don't sd card flash hspl will stay and protect against bad flashes, flash what you like.

What 1.48 and 1.43 roms did you try? They need to be Telstra roms, as you can't just use any 1.48 or 1.43 rom and this is what is causing the invalid vendor id error. Once you are back to 1.42.0000 spl (after flashing a telstra rom) you can then run hspl and are then free to flash what ever your heart desires.

I have a Telstra HD2 as well (1.66)...got it recently and will flash it soon.
I don't understand the original poster's concern - why go through all that to flash HSPL, when apparently HSPL2 can be easily flashed over 1.66...which allows you to further flash any ROM ??? Is there a benefit of HSPL over HSPL2 that I am missing?
Thanks in advance
edit: my bad, just read in the HSPL thread that HSPL2 does not work with the telstra hd2.

keep reading, you still have lots to learn, hspl2 doesn't work on telstra.

Oh, my spl is 1.66.0000
I understand I must use HSPL (not HSPL2) on a Telstra ph. but can anyone recommend which rom to use? I've been reading for two days solid and can't decide!
I've copied all the guides etc so hopefully won't have a prob'... am just worried about warranty protection etc if it all goes pear shaped... i just want all this B.S. bloatware OFF MY phone!!!
Thanx in advance once again

I am in the same position, my Telstra ROM is 1.72 running SPL 1.66.0000.
HSPL utility tells me that "Model ID is invalid" or something like that.

okay, one more time.....
only the original hspl works on telstra,
hspl2 does not work. (bad model ID)
you need to downgrade to a 1.4 rom with spl 1.42.0000.
so, get the original telstra 1.49.8xx rom from HERE (registration required)
when its downloaded, move it to its own folder somewhere, then right click the .exe file and choose extract here. (if that option isnt available, install winrar)
when it has extracted, find teh file RUU_Signed.nbh, copy it to your sd card and rename it leoimg.nbh
restart your phone in bootloader mode, it should detect the leoimg.nbh and start to flash
this will reset your spl to 1.42.0000 and now you can use HSPL, and then flash any rom you like.

Thanks for the link to HTCpedia mate. I'd actually just found it myself by performing a thread search on the "Official HTC ROM's" thread. Downloading now.
Stupidly I've had problems after problems trying to get HSPL on my device. I actually started out on this ROM (1.49.x with SPL 1.42.0000). First I tried flashing from my Vista x64 machine, both HSPL2 and HSPL with errors, in my haste I thought I might need update to the latest Telstra ROM 1.72.x with SPL 1.66.0000 so I could use HSPL2 when in actual fact I just had the x64 USB driver problem, of course then the upgrade still didn't allow me to flash and made my situation harder as I had to find this original ROM again to downgrade.
Anyways I hope this works!

It works!
- flash rom back to 1.49.x with SPL 1.42.0000
- run HSPL with device connected via USB
- flash radio using CustomRUU
- flash ROM using CustomRUU

@rainey06au what Radio do you use with your Telstra HD2?

Got my Telstra HD2 running 1.49 last week and it's my first play with Windows Mobile .. couldn't wait to clear the Telstra image from the phone as my provider is Three.
Did plenty of reading and all the posts said to use the original HSPL first, this worked perfect first go.
Once done I tried the new Artemis_v110 rom, was very impressed except experienced 2 to 3 random reboots a day, even more while in YouTube player. Everything else woked well, reception, battery life, and clarity while on calls.
Decided yesterday to try another rom, first cleared all using Task29 format, then loaded HyperROM Ultimate v9.00 WM6.5.X but this didn't get through the first boot .. possibly due to radio required.
Now have flashed back to 1.48.4052 until I research some more.
Anyone recommend a rom and suitable radio for the Telstra HD2, anyone with Three?
Thankx

Thanks. Works a treat!
I knew I had to downgrade but couldn't find an old Telstra ROM.

I am also using Telstra HD2 and recently flashed it with Miri Rom. I like Miri because it doesn't have any customization. It has many versions to choose from, with and without Sense UI. It also retain all the original WM icons and themes which I like.
But like all ROMs, I do experience reboot but only once so far with the new version of Miri v17. One thing to note is the Radio version for the ROM. Make sure you flash the exact correct radio version, down to the sub version, e.g. 2.07.50 is recommended for Miri and not 2.07.51 (which is the Telstra radio version).
Another advise is always flash from pc, not SD card as I have experienced bad flash using SD card.
Hope this helps. Miri is only available from the HTCPedia site.

Yep my radio version is also 2.07.50. I get good battery life out of it using CleanEX_UDT HyperROM Ultra v9.00 (6.5).

I use Lia Glass ROM and FallOut Theme.
Interestingly this ROM and radio has only unlocked 455.54MB RAM, not the full 576MB. There are threads about this and getting the right combo will unlock the remaining RAM and/or improve battery performance.
I am using Radio 2.08.50.05.
Anyone else have the same experience?

look in settings about phone hardware info ram size.
I bet it says 576
that's cos the hardware takes 128 for graphics.
look st a standard rom and hardware will show 448 whilst total available will show 336

Thanks samsamuel.
Hardware info does in fact say 576MB RAM
Thanks for the explanation - slowly but surely getting my head around the intricacies of the device

[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

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.

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.

Maybe your HSPL is faulty ? Did you try to re-HSPL your device using HSPL.exe ?

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] can I flash a non-US ROM to a US HD2?

I have been trying to help a friend install Android on his HD2. We actually had it working but didn't know anything about APN so we couldn't figure out how to get the 3g data working. Ultimately I wound up flashing it back to Windows, and then figured I would try flashing Android again after that. Unfortunately we are now stuck with Windows because it seems that we cannot flash MAGLDR. When we try, the progress bar sits there, stuck at 0%.
I had downloaded the image from T-mobile's website here:
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
But I found this post archived:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-612580-p-78.html
It has some information stating that "If you cannot reflash and you stay at the 0 percent screen, then another solution is to flash first an original stock HTC ROM (1.66). Enter bootloader, connect to PC/Laptop and flash this ROM. When that has been succesfull, you can then reflash Artemis ROM."
Unfortunately the ROMs they are referring to (1.66, 1.72, etc.) appear to be non-US ROMs. I found the 1.72 website for the UK:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=936&news_id=638
But the site specifically says not to use that ROM to flash a T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2 as doing so can have unintended consequences. Is this true even when using HSPL? As part of the Android process we obviously had to install HSPL 2.08. I thought the point of HSPL was that you could always flash a ROM and even if the ROM didn't work, you will drop into the bootloader where another ROM can be flashed. So basically you can't brick the device any longer since you can always access the bootloader and flash a new ROM.
It seems people had success flashing one of those 1.66/1.72 ROMs and then installing some other ROM. I tried using the US ROM and it flashes just fine (doesn't get stuck at 0 percent) but when I try reflashing MAGLDR it just gets stuck. I don't intend on booting up and using the UK ROM...I'm just curious if I can flash that on this US based phone and then try to flash MAGLDR again to see if it works. Is this a good idea?

Oops...didn't mean to post this in the dev forum! Moderators please feel free to move this to Q&A.

flash any non tmous compatible cooked rom to a tmous and it wont boot past the RGD screen.
flash any STOCK non tmous rom to a tmous and it is bricked, full stop, dead. The radio contained in non tmous roms is permanently fatal to tmous phones.
This is true regardless of HSPL or any thing.
Simply put, you should never flash any rom where the chef doesnt explicitly state tmous compatible.
I havent used artemis, though glancing through the first post i see it is is based on the Leo S 3.14 rom, which is for the regular hd2 (LEO S means regular). What it doesnt make is any mention of tmous compatibility, so unless someone knows for certain i'd stay away from it.
Is this a good idea?

not at all.
If your aim is magldr, put phone into bootloader, connect usb, run hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl, your radio is already OK, because if it wasn't your phone would already be bricked (all tmous radios are ok for magldr by default), return to bootlaoder, flash magldr.
EDIT - Oh and once you are on android, you dont need to worry, all roms are tmous compatible.

Great thanks for the info...I definitely don't want to brick his phone with an incompatible radio. As for loading HSPL 2.08 that is precisely what I did. I flashed Windows back on there, then flashed HSPL 2.08, then tried to flash the same radio. It got stuck at 0% so I pulled the battery and tried again but it was a no go. So then I just tried MAGLDR and it also got stuck.
At this point I read the thread about flashing Windows back so I tried that again and am still unable to flash MAGLDR. You think I should flash HSPL again and then it will work? I think I used HSPL 3...so maybe I need to try HSPL 4.

Also I don't plan on using Artemis...I just found that post while trying to fix the 0% issue while flashing. I had installed prj clean desire and he really liked that. He isn't too techie so I don't worry about him wanting to flash new ROMs to try them. As long as it is not Windows mobile he is happy. Unfortunately he is stuck on that for the moment.

hanging at 0%, , two possibles, either you accidentaly chose 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08.hspl when you ran hspl, or your computer is timing out, in which case dont touch the phone, reconnect to a different usb port and run the flash again.
Also, if you flashed that http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ 3.14 rom from there, then you already have the latest radio and dont need to change it.

Oh snap you might be right...I might have chosen 2.08.0000 and not the HSPL version. I seriously doubt the computer is timing out because it works fine with that same USB port to flash the Windows ROM. I bet you're right and I just flashed the wrong SPL! I'll get his phone and just bring it home with me soon. He can use his old phone for a day or two while I iron things out.
I'll try to remember to login from my computer and hit the thanks button. I don't see any way to do that in this app...

also worth considering - once magldr is running and you are into the android side of things, go into wmdc without phone connected, choose connections settings (or whatever it says) and UNtick allow usb connections, , you don't want wmdc grabbing the usb connection. (probably also need the "google usb driver" if its your first time with android on that pc,, google them.)
Flashing from bootloader needs that box ticked, hence the slightly confusing instructions in flashing guides to 'get an activesync connection', it doesn't really mean a sync connection, but that those drivers have grabbed the usb.

Yeah that causes a different error. Something about USB init failed and it complains about a source file called rspl.cpp or something like that. I had to fix that issue before I could ever install the prj ROM the first time. It's ActiveSync 4.5 though (I'm running XP on this partition -- I don't buy any Microsoft products any longer -- or Apple for that matter), but the steps are essentially the same. You just have to prevent it from establishing USB connections.

@samsamuel
Thank you so much for all of your help! I got his phone back today and it looks like the Windows ROM flashed 2.10.0000 on there. I launched HSPL3 again and this time made sure that I selected 2.08HSPL. It flashed right on, as did MAGLDR 1.13, and ultimately the prj clean Desire ROM. It's back to working again and we'll plug in the APN settings when I give it back to him tonight. Victory!

[Q] HD2 Bricked! please help!!

i searched and searched all over xda but no thread could give any definite answer.
here's a summary of my problem:
I've been using android on my phone through NAND for quite a while, but the "tinkerish" part of me wanted to try windows phone 7 for a while. i "had" spl 2.08 and the correct radio, magloader also installed. but the problem was that i needed to perform task29 from hd2 toolkit but my phone wasn't being detected by pc...giving he "qualcomm driver" thingy....so i figured flashing a stock win 6.5 from sd card will make an easy alternative task 29 wipe then use active sync and reinstall hd2 driver....i tried the 3.14 wwe rom but it failed and now my phone is stuck at bootloader....can't DO ANYTHING!
it gives:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(touch) 0x30
please don't ask me to search and stuff...i'm kinda desperate now :/

95 views and non knows how to help? :/ come on guys...help a fella HD2 out...here's few more info...tried flashing a 1.66 wwe win mobile from sd, it didn't work...tried flashing radio from sd card, it didn't work, tried flashing magloader, it didn't work...i contacted HTC support and i gave my serial number, turned out my phone is shipped from india...downloading an indian ROM now...but very slow connection and i'm eagerly waiting to try it out...

you must have HSPL 2.08... also, install WMDC for correct drivers, boot to threecolor (bootloader) and connect device via USB... message Serial must change to USB... then you can flash WM (best is original WM not cooked) or perform Task29

Was the phone Sim-locked to an operator?
I'm no expert, but I have read of phones failing if incorrect stock ROM re-flashed, ie, you need the same ROM for the country & Sim-lock as the original. Sounds like you might be on the right lines with the Indian ROM..
Good luck

where to get the WDMC drivers? will i overcome the qualcomm driver popping up in windows? it's the main reason i couldn't do a task29 in the first place....because in bootloader i do get the serial written down, but it never changes to USB because windos can't verify the driver.....thank you.

no it's a non branded EU model...yeah probably the indian ROM will help...but very slow download speed...i can't wait ^^'

From what I've read on Task29 thread (I will search and post a link here), doing Task29 will erase the Radio too. So, after finishing erasing the phone, you must install the radio. I'm not 100% sure. I did a Task 29 on my phone just now and for safety, I installed the radio again. Then I was able to install a stock ROM from HTC site. Worked for me. But wait for someone with more experience than me.

i had knowledge of this before, thanks for reminding. the problem is that i can't do a task29 in the first place due to a lack of driver. but of course, when i'm able to do a task29 i'll re-flash the radio.

hmmm...just tried that....didn't work either :/...gave an "error 260".....i read that the qualcomm CDMA driver will popup when one has a faulty HD2...but mine works great...or "worked great" before this....i can't seem to find out what's going on...

Good news at last! the Indian ROM worked and my phone booted to windows 6.5! ^.^ now i'm letting it charge before trying to flash windows 7. next step will be spl 2.08 and magloader thanks to every one that reviewed this thread and post replies. hopefully see you in the windows 7 development section soon. this thread can be closed now, in the hopes to help whoever has a similar problem. cheers!

Good news!!!
