Stuck in bootloader after failed flash

Hi, got some problems with one of my employes Herald (not simlocked or anything).
It ended up on my desk after complaints about it rebooting by itself every minute or so. I figured I could sort it out by upgrading to wm6. Wen to HTCs website and downloaded the official RUU (HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe). Everything went along fine and I left it upgrading on my desk and went for lunch.
When I got back it said that the update had failed and I followed the recover function but without success.
Now Im stuck in bootloader mode, and when I try to update it again the current image version is listed as blank and I get to about 1-2 percent before it shuts down and gives "ERROR [244]: INVALID MODEL ID".
Any suggestions on what to do?

Further information...
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.17.0000
When i do a hard reset, after it says format complete it boots up and freezes with a green gradient across the screen.

You can try using USPL or HARDSPL to flash.
The USPL will get around CID locks
This is from ivan's A Herald's Guide to Flashing Aserg, USPL and HARD-SPL - xda-developers
II. How do I flash an NBH file?
Warning: To use the NBH ways, you MUST have a SPL of 4.0 or higher. If you have a lower SPL, you WILL brick your phone.
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

Thanks for the reply,
First, I cant get activesync to find the phone, only evidence of contact in between the phone and PC is that its listed as [Windows CE USB Devices+PocketPC USB Sync] in device manager. I tried to uspl flash with ASERG.8, and it stops at "STEP 1/3...."
I downloaded mtty to see if it could connect, and it did.
Any further suggestions on what might work!

uninstall..reset.. clean install would probably get activesync to work w the phone..

Reinstalled activesync without any change. And soft/hard reseted everything…
Tried to flash via sd as per instructions in another thread, got to "checking SD contents" and then straight to triple-color bootloader.
Help me please! ;D

Cant help getting the feeling that Im completely screwed...
Cant get activesync to recognize it, only way to get it to light up is via bootloader (camera + reset button), everything ive tried to flash it with hangs almost instantly.
As a complete novice my guess is that the current rom is corrupted and I badly need advice on how to go on. The sd-flash seems quite logical but I cant get it to work. Ive tried to overwrite my sd with 00-values in winhex and then placing the original ruu [HERAIMG.nbh] (through windows, is there a way to write data with winhex?) on the card without any success.
Any suggestions on what to try is much appreciated.

Sounds like the SPL got corrupted or partially written only... sorry. Repair center time. You can also placing your Stock RUU's nbh file into your SD card and renaming it to... umm.. I forget... and then flashing FROM the phone.

You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.

Thanks for the reply, before giving up and sending it in for repair I would like to give the sd-flash a proper try... So far Ive managed to format the card with winhex but I cant really figure out how to write to the card in raw format. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

i managed to do the steps said above ... formated the card in RAW format etc but still the phone won't turn on ... it will only stay in bootloader ...

Care to enlighten me on how you did that?

I've been reading a lot lately.. I wonder if the phones are savageble... something about flashing but bypassing the radio check... Also, the universal has an RUU that bypasses any checks before it flashes... this would be great for us to have... I'm asking around...

if you find it please tell us about it cos a lot of phones are getting bricked ...

If I'm correct, you told us a few post above thisone you placed your SD card with the imghera.nbh and got "checking sd conents" and then it went to bootloader.
As far as i can recall you need to get your Herald into bootloader first and then place your SD card with the IMGHERA.nbh file on it. Then it should start reading the image from, your SD card.
Judging from your first post you haven't been using the asigned RUU from the HTC website if this was your first rom flash to WM6 and you got a vendor error. Try to convert and use that one when you flash from sd card.

Ive been trying to flash with the WM6 RUU I downloaded from HTC's site (the one that bricked it) since that is the only local (swedish) and official one I could find. Have I misinterpreted it all and the only thing that could do the trick for me is WM5.1?
Ive also been trying to contact the HTC service dept for over a weeks time ending up in a deadend overfilled voicemailbox - meanwhile my warrantyperiod ran out... Any suggestion on what to do?

Hi I try tu patch IPL/SPL with hard spl but with error, now my herald stuck in boot mode. IPL/SPL 1.09.0001. He probbably is from some russia operator (rusian diacritics on keyboard).
How can I try to make him alive?

This is the easiest way to flash!!!

This is how I've done it and it's my third rom in 5 days.
1. Format you micro SD to FAT32 using a USB card reader, not quick format preferably
2. Read CID from your SD with Qmat while connected with active sync
3. Get Gold Card using QMat with the CID obtained, you should have in 2 min
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
WORKS LIKE CHARM
RKS LIKE A
MY HD2 - east european unbranded
PS you can flash both your regional rom or any other rom

...except that it's been said hundred of times in the stycky threads.

There's a difference between condensed and incomplete. The post doesn't even mention where to get QMAT, or were to apply for the actual goldcard. The least OP could've done was post a link to the sticky thread.
Aside from that, I would personally advise easily confused people to stay away from QMAT, especially if all they have is half a tutorial.

Thank you. Clear and simple. (Have to combine information from the sticky post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
as well thought)
Will try it later on.
UPDATE
After trying unsuccessfully for more than two weeks to flash a different language ROM, and reading this post I have managed to flash the new 1.6x ROM in 5 minutes.
Notes
Used the same MicroSD card I have been using unsuccessfully the last two weeks, and the same goldgard I had for two weeks now.
The goldcard remains the same no matter how many times you format the SD, and immediately after the completion of the installation of the new ROM needs reformat. Can be reused as many times as we want I guess.
THANK YOU

New user dude?
It appears that we joined about the same time. It was meant to help the new people not annoy "know it all" people like you. It must have gotten to your head. Just remember you were a "new" once too.

Apparently i did something similar to your way, and it works. The way posted in the Guide is not working for many people, this might be a good option for those who are at the brink of giving up to flash their device to 1.61.

This works! I didn't even format my SD card! Thank you

does not work for me. I have tried all combination, all possible thing. still not working.

Hi wmfreak.
Worked first time and so easy. Was going to try the long winded hex editor etc way but this was much easier.
No format of SD card required either as stated above!
THANK YOU!
What i did...
1) Downloaded qmat from link at top of the page... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
2) Downloaded getsdsn1_leo.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5169107&postcount=109
3) Installed qmat to PC
4) Extracted getdns_leo.zip with exe to desktop.
5) Ensure phone connected in sync mode (not drive mode) and ensure synced (with either activesync (win xp) or mobile device center (vista/win7)
6) Run exe from getdns on desktop whichs dump A txt file with CID to desktop.
7) Registered my CID and email as per top link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
8) Recieved img file from register and saved to PC.
9) Ran Installed QMAT Program from Pc with Phone still synced to PC
10) In QMAT ran Menu >Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD Card Utils
11) Pressed button <Get SD Card Serial and Disk ID>
12) Once the ID was found I pressed button <Write ImageFile> in same dialog box.
13) Searched for my previously saved from email .img file called goldcard.img
14) BINGO! Gold IMG wrote successfully to card.
15) Downloaded 1.61 ROm from these forums and ran exe from rar from pc and off it went updated with no issue in normal rom update method!!!
P.S UK user with unlocked SIM phone.
UPDATE: Just relised u dont need the getdns_leo.zip - just run qmat to step 11 then register for the GOLDid and come back to qmat to write img!!

I too succesfully flashed to the TUR version from WWE West Europe version. I followed the guide on page 30 on the 1.61 WWE TUR thread, which essentialy is the same thing.
Thnx, I appreciate your post!

Hello, that is why I combined information from the sticky thread

--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies

and from this thread
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
This the the procedure that worked for me. (steps for obtaining a GoldCard not mentioned here).
Good Luck.

worked for me too,

sorry for being thick guys but....if i flash my rom do i have to use the same memory card as what im using now or can i use another just to flash??
obviously using the one i have now i will delete all of my apps when formatting??

Use another sd
Correct, or backup your current sd.

HTC HD2 stuck at boot loader... help please.

Hi all,
Before I post here I have googled over the internet looking for a solution and i have read alot but no success, i have tried many different suggested solutions but all have failed, so that I'm here to ask who have faced a similar situation of me.
My HTC HD2 was having SPL-1.42 with its original stock ROM, then I decided to upgrade for a cooked ROM so that I installed the HSPL then it became SPL-1.42 HSPL, that was fine then I'm were able to upgrade to any cooked ROM, I have flashed my device with many different ROMs even the stock ones, every thing were very fine till I upgraded to the stock ROM of leo 2.10 "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship" by via the MicroSD card and now stuck with the SPL-2.08 as shown in the attached photos.
I tried to flash again using the EXE file from my PC but it take very long time the fail even with the original stock ROM of my device, and I tried to flash using the SD card but it take very long time just showing a white screen labeled "loading..." and no more activity.
I attached some photos showing the problem.
I know its my fault because I did not read the warning in the text file that included with the ROM folder "Do not flash using the MicroSD"
So that, I'm looking for a solution... please help..
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
Note: pardon me about my poor English.

Heya i think ur stuck now on that SPL 2.08 havent heard any1 succeeding in putting hspl on it atleast from what ive read.
The cause is because u flashed that Tmous ROM trough MicroSD which overwrites the hspl.
I think if u had read the stickies more carefully this could be avoided but u can still flash Tmous roms some1 correct me if im wrong. hope this helps a bit

Thanks for replaying,
yeah you are right I have to be more careful but now its done and stuck with SPL 2.08.
anyway, I have tried to falsh it using Tmous ROMs but it faild, it says "this device is not suitable for this ROM" then exit, by the way, my device is the Asia version and I tried to flash it using the new officially updated ROM from htc.com but it also failed, it take very long time more than 15 minutes with no activity the I disconnect the USB from the device to save the battery charge, I'm afraid to stuck with a dead battery. When I disconnect it the upgrading software on my PC asking me to restart the device and reconnect it again then I did, the official upgrading software recognise the device then start to flash it but it stuck at beginning of the flashing process it just change the screen of the device to the back background with the progress bar its reading 0% and take very long time then i disconnect it.
by the way, is the any way to downgrade the SPL to 1.42 ?
any help please..
Thank you.

Last week I also face this problem. But I'm not using SD card to flash the room.
However, I backup my sd card then format the card, it become will afther this.

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did, removed the battery for about 10 seconds and flashed the original ROM. Then reflashed HSPL. It worked for me.

Thank you all for replaying..
I tried to do as you did but no success at all.
well, what next ?
Thank you

You must use GoldCard repaired your device .Look here (Post 31 & 41) Repaired (with any Goldcard ) HD2 damaged when the flash rom TMOUS with memory card :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=640183&page=4
You must change Tmous 2.07 ( in guideline article ) replaced by your ship rom 2.10.

same happened to xmoo....just letter xmoo about your problem...i hope he can help you....

no success yet..
but i'm confused about how to use the goldcard ?
I tried to you the attached goldcard.img from the post Id=640183&page=4 but no success.
is the goldcard.img dedicated to a specific device based on its CID ? or it can be used for any device ?
Thank you

Surely XDA Mods should take down the SD card method as there are about 10 threads a week of flashing the 2.10 ROM via SD card and getting stuck cause they don't read enough before hand - if the SD card method isn't there people won't brick their phones!!

{Solved} HTC HD2 stuck at beet loader...
Hi all,
finally I got my device running
by flashing it using Goldcard method, I bought the PSAS software and flashed it using Tmous 2.10 and now it is running fine.
well, the steps as the following:
1- getting the CID of the SD card that you are going to use for flashing you device, I used linux OS to get the CID of my SD card by:
linux host #>more /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
that will give you the CID of the SD card.
2- Start the PSAS software and must be registered then go to Calculations/Generators then select Generate HTC goldcard.
3- then click "Save Goldcard Image to file", rename it whatever you wanna name for example "goldcard.img".
4- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk image..
5- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk...
6- then click on "goldcard.img" tab then select the lines from 00000000 to 00000170 all the file content by high lighting it, then select Edit -> Copy.
7- then go to the disk tab the containing the sd card, then select the same addresses (00000000-00000170) then Edit -> Paste Write, then save the new content.
8- copy a leoimg.nbh to the SD card, its recommended to get it from the ROM that bricked your device. I'm used Tmous 2.10.
9- insert the SD card into your device then boot it to the bootloader by holding the volume switch down while your switching the device on.
10- wait for the menu to appear and follow the instruction to complete.
Thats work from me and should work for you.
by the way, I flashed US Tmous while my device is Asian.
Thank you all
and
Best regards
if you have your CID I may help you to generate the suitable goldcard.img for your device.

I think I've read that even though you are stuck on spl 2, now that you have it running you should be able to flash roms with sspl but you won't be able to change the radio.
HTML:

till now I'm not sure about the radio, any way, I'm trying to hack it, i successfully initiated the process of radio upgrading but it failed at 99%.
we gonna do it one day...

I also bought PSAS and used my old TP to goldflash the card. Then flashed it with the TMOUS ROM using SD method. After that it game back to life and only way to flash other roms is using sspl. Only thing now is that I'm stuck with this TMOUS initial splash screen.

Also you can change the splash screen using SSPL,till now you can change what ever you wanna change using SSPL except the radio and SPL flashing.
now i'm looking for flashing the radio with some how.

SD card method should be used a last resort and only if you know what you're doing - it's a million times easier to use HSPL and ActiveSync as if it fails it's easy to recover. I've never used the sd card method and after reading what it can do if you don't read into the ROM well enough it's not worth the hassle IMO

HAHAHA.
For me changing the first 2 00 in de hex edit of the goldcard to 11 fixed the issue.
Radio 2.08 is greate.. SPL 2.08 is greate... So no problems a.t.m., if I need a stock rom I use SSPL...
But then again I hope someone comes with HSPL 2.x tho.

US HD2 error 262 on vista help plz

i just recently got a new hd2 wich run 2.13 rom software and im haveing trouble getting it downgraded so i can put hspl on it. I know this has bean mentioned before and looked and tried everything i found abot it. My dads pc is a 32bit vista home edition can every time i load the downgrade it goes all the way into the set up and then gets stuck at 0% and then gives me a 262 error in like 5 mins. I know its a comunication error andi have tried every usb port on the pc. I am getting a clear sync and have no problems getting stuck on the boot screen. I just halft to reset everytime when it says it wont load. I have tried forceing it threw the boot menu but nothing works. The phone runs just fine still and i even did a hard reset to see if that would help.
Plz if somebody can help me i would be verry greatful and i am even willing to donate if i can get the mods for the phone up and running.
Plz respond as soon as possible.

at this stage it doesn't matter that the pc doesn't work...... because you should be flashing the downgrade from sd card anyway.

ok well i tried it once and it just went to a white loading screen and did nothing else. all i did was put the nbh in the sd card so if i messed up mind helping me out.

ok so i just tried exactly what your link told me and it wont go past the white loading screen. do i just had a bad stock rom or what?

did you rename the nbh to leoimg.nbh?

yes i did change and i still just cant seem to get it to go threw

you using the stock 16gb card? loads of posts say that card doesn't work. try an 8 or better yet a 2gb

i have tried i 1,2,and 4 gig and nothing works.

what rom are you downgrading it with?
When you downloaded the rom, did it come as an .exe or did it come as an .nbh file and customruu.exe together? Because if it DID then that wont work, it must be the .exe version.
I recommend the 2.10.0 from the thread
[ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS
Have you extracted the ruu_signed.nbh correctly? (you didnt just rename the .exe to leoimg.nbh did you?)
ALso try formatting your sd card, FAT32, not FAT, and for best results do a propper format, not a 'quick' format.

i have done a propper format and its on fat32. i have also extracted the nbh file with 7zip i did not just rename it and i got the rom from a thread that had all the old os versions on this site

assuming you mean THIS thread,, only the ones in that thread that come as an exe will work, the others will need hspl.

PLEASE HELP : HD2 broken - need Goldcard - i can make small DONATION

Hi,
first, my HD2 Leo is a french one (SFR operator).
i put lot of ROM without any problem. The last one was the Chucky ROM.
i try to put the "Cruzer 4th" : but it was a ROM based on 3.14/SPL 3.03 official HTC ROM : it broke my HD2.
i try to flash with a old HTC ROM (1.42 / 1.66 ) without success... i try with a old SFR ROM, without success. ("ID invalid vendor" message)
the only solution to get back a old SPL ( 1.42 ) seems to make a goldcard.
so: i search a goldcard for my HD2, and someone who can help me little.
i have money problem, i can't buy a new HD2 (too expensive)....
but i can make a small DONATION via PAYPAL to thanks the guy who help me to recover my HD2.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
NOTE: i don't have any access to windows mobile on my HD2. only the red/green/blue/white screen at boot. only boot via SDCARD can be OK. USB transfert seems be ok.

hint
you can flash from SD Card any firmware, even official with replacing SPL, here is the procedure
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
I do not have experiences with it, so take it just as a hint, to be sure maybe you should try to check some threads about it, for example start with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820038&highlight=rename+ruu_signed.nbh
anyway, if you insist on the goldcard, here is the right thread for you, just put your CID number and wait

thanks a lot pedro.
i donwload now the SFR ROM... but i think it will don't work..wait and see.
about golden card, i think it will don't work , because i saw i must launch a file (enablerapinew.cab) from my HD2 windows mobile... but i can't !! : i have only the boot screen now (red/green/blue/white)

ok, i try to flash with my original ROM from SFR... not work.
- USB way : HTC flash indicator stay always at 0%
- SDCard way: have only the "loading" message advitam

Hope this helps,

Renaming a,stock nbh to leoimg.nbh should work every time. Make sure you SD is formatted to fat32 then put the leoimg.nbh on SD card. Remember to extract a stock Rom from HTC website using 7zip or similar and only rename the ruu_signed.nbh hope it works
