How do i Flash back? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I have the DFT win 7 on My HD2, and now all of a sudden theres no signal when ever im in a 2g only zone. Everywheer ells where 3g coverage is present, it all goes fine. So im gonna switch back to good old winmo 6-5 and then to some android rom.
Anyone now how to do so?

I believe you just flash a winmo 6 rom, will remove magdlr and leave your phone as new, then reflash magdlr and the android rom of choice.

Stock rom flashing problem
Hi all, i am currently using WP7 but wish to go back to 6.5. There are a lot of reasons for this and I won't bore you with them. However I have tried all of the different ways to flash back and none seem to wotk.
1: Flashed from SD card. (not sure this was done correctly though. As it iasked me to format, which I did to FAT 32. But it said copy the renamed rom to "leoimg.nbh" and past it in the root folder. There were no folders on the formatted sd card) evidently this was not correct as it didnt work.
2: I flashed from bootloader screen with the stock rom, but it loads to the cottulla HTC screen and stays on 0%!
please help as I am desperate to go back to 6.5 lol

I tried after 2 weeks of investigation, to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5. I downloaded hardspl and Ryans 6.5 Heavy for sprint. I read everything about doing the install. I made sure Windows Mobile Center was working and sync'd. I started the the hardspl and did everything it asked. I watched the Mogul go into I guess bootmode. The Red, Green, Blue and white, and then nothing. Somehow the phone became disconnected. According to Windows Mobile Center. I tried re-connecting and failed. I tried AFM's solution for flashing from SD card, with no change. Stuck. I copied RUU_signed.nbh on the SD card. That didn't do anything. I put the 6.1 program from HTC on the Card with the .nbh file and still no good. Beginning to think I didn't read enough. Anyone know how to get this phone back to normal again? Thanks for your time.

Just passing through here at xda, I can help you if you this evening, no time during day today. If you don't get it before then. You can reach me at ppckitchen.org in the chat section.
But until then you can post what your bootloader version says right now, in order to see what you got.
current bootloader version?
current radio version?
If your current bootloader is either the 2.40 or 2.47 then all you might need to do is flash a custom rom. Hard to tell if you don't give all the info needed to know where you are at exactly.
Also the nbh on the sd card has to be renamed to TITAIMG.nbh not left as the RUU_signed.nbh it was. SD card can be NO BIGGER than 2gig. and must have a format of FAT32.
Hit me up in ppck this evening if need be. Justpctech might be around as well.
Well thats where the problems are coming from. I'm using a 4g card and I forgot to rename the file. Yes the bootloader was 2.4. Screen says : upper right corner -RUUNBH .........Starting at left side towards top: TITA 100 MFG.....SPL-2.40.OLIPRO....CPLD-9
i believe the the problem was the SD card and the naming. Thanks so far. Heading to work at the moment but will try later. Thanks again.
Perfect, that one is best IMO.
I recommend this from where you are.
1. Flash the sprint stock rom from here Because it contains a gps radio, 3.42.02 which is fine. Now if you already KNOW you have that radio, skip this step and go right to step 3.
2. After flashing that rom when it comes to the part "tap here to align screen" : At that point instead of tapping here to align screen, do a soft reset. This will allow the customizations to NOT run.
3. Start flashing custom roms. If you don't like the one you flash, then just flash another, your bootloader and radio are good if you are on this step.
Just a note to anyone else, all you are doing is this:
1. Unlock with hardspl, 2.40 or 2.47
2. Upgrade radio to gps (this can be done by flashing that stock rom I supplied) or just putting the radio rom nbh on card and flashing.
3. Flash custom roms.

[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

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.

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.

[Q]Why can't I update ROMS Since WP7?

Ever since I flashed to WP7, it doesn't allow me to go back to Winmo 6.5, or any other ROM. It says Invalid ID every time I try to update, or change ROMS.
I'm really a noob so, sorry for the trouble guys, help would really be appreciated.
your easiest way would be through flashing a winmo 6.* rom by SD card.
Just extraxt a rom from htc.com and rename the *.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and put that on the root of a (preferably clean) SD-card. Boot into bootloader ( reboot + volume down button) and it will ask you wether you want to flash/install rom from sd-card. ...follow instructions and you are back to base.

Well I've alot of ROMS. I also tried to update MAGLDR v1.12 to v1.13 so I can get android up and running.
I also tried to SD card and it never asked me if I wanted to boot from there...
Sometimes I wonder how people get themselves into this kind of situation...
And also, some hints and tips are kind of "incomplete"...
Maybe you´re basically performing the right steps, but if you get the wrong ID error message, this can have a few reasons:
1) Your device is branded - get the correct operator branded stock ROM
2) Your device is localized (Europe, Asia, Australia, US) - get the correct ROM for your area
Since you have HSPL on your device, it is not necessary to flash via SD card to go back to WinMo 6.5. You could actually put your HD2 into the standard bootloader mode, plug it to the PC via USB cable, and flash using the RUU tool you prefer (either stock or custom ROM).
If you want to flash an Android NAND, the procedure is slightly different, but I won´t go into this at this stage...

[Q] Bricked?

Hey guys, I need some help with my shiny new brick. So I had android running on the phone from nand. So one day while using it, I decided to clear my information from it within android (Settings>Privacy>Factory Data reset). Anyway, this completely F'd my phone. So what I did was try to install a new nand android rom, but that did'nt work either. So then I said let me go back to windows mobile. THAT WONT WORK EITHER!!!
Where I am now:
HSPL installation is successful when I try it (spl version 2.0.8)
Windows mobile stock 6.5 gets stuck at 8%
Task 29% gets stuck at 0%
flashing any rom from the sd card doesnt work either
I feel like I've tried every approach, to no avail. I've read over every thread known to man with this problem, no answer. They all say either task 29 or flash the stock rom, neither of which are working here.
Currently the phone gets stuck on the Stick together screen, then just resets again.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Question... was it a recovery zip or direct nand rom?
Try reformatting the SD card fat32 from the computer, write a fresh image file to it and try to flash from SD again. I don't know why but if I don't reformat the SD card each time, my HD2 never takes a flash. It might not work for you, but it's worth a try. I hope it helps.

Help.. HD2

Hey guys,
So my problem, I downloaded Xperia Beta ARC installed it seemed that everything was fine, used the storage alterer, since then my sd card doesnt work in any device! iv not been able to flash another rom or anything to my HD2.
So i tried the HD2 Android NAND Toolkit and task29'd it.
now im stuck on the loading screen just sits there does nothing. i fear iv ruined my HD2 any advice would be great. iv litlary tried everything! im not going to be able to use the sdcard anyone got any ideas of flashing a rom to the unit, i tried to get wp7 onto it but keep getting a error.
Any help much appreciated.
update -
trying downloading win 6.5 exe see if i cant get it back to original state! fingers crossed. could use a program to fix my SD card as i think its just a partition issue.

yes well it would do, you just removed the rom by task29'ing.
no clue what the storage alterer is, so cant help, but simply entering magldr, then from there cwm should let you flash a rom (once you sort teh card out, of course)
EDIT - oh right you used the toolkit, which also removes magldr(that isn't always the case), so you will need to flash that again too, , magldr - cwm partitioning - new rom.
To be honest, iv tried everything to fix the sd card, but its just a bit gutting its working then next minute its destroyed due to partions! will just purchase a new one and see how it goes!
Got the windows 6.5 onto my phone, im hopeing i can now go to win7! until i sort out my SD card issue.
