[Need Help]ROMs won't boot after initial setup

I hope someone here can help me to make my LEO work again.
Im having huge problems with my HD2 after flashing a ROM with Extendir. While setting up the device with Preset Installer my PDA went to deep sleep and failed installing all cabs.
After reboot it hung on the screen where Radio Version etc. is shown. That is why i made another Hard Reset. That let my phone boot again but after initial setup it hangs again at that place.
I tried another ROM and experienced the same problem. After that i went back to shiped with spl and radio. Not even that fixed the problem.
I tried MTTY with task 29 and reflash stock. It stays the same! After initial setup my phone sometimes hangs before or after boot animation. sometimes it boots till sense is started and hangs there.
Does anyone have a smart idea how i can make my leo run propper again?
Thanks for help.
edit: im not sure if its Extendir. It could be something else, too. I tried flashing via usb and storage card.

to assess that rom V.0.8 it has rom 2.0x base
radio 2,08 to enable 576 MB
the rom that it uses, it could not be compatible with the version radius
try to chnge a version radio or try to change version rom
if you use radio 2.08 from rom 2.07,try to flash rom cooked with 576 Mb enable
sorry for my poor english,i'm Italian

Sorry mate
the problem is other
I have since the rom of bob qualified V.08 is for 576 mb

You tried booting up with the SD card taken out of the device?
WB

You need to have a radio that supports the 576 mb. But I don't think this is your problem. It sound like to me your storage card is the problem. If you have another storage card format it to FAT 32 and try again. I bet your problem is solved. Also Don't use a 16gb card until you know for sure it is working. Even then there are problem with some people using them.

I dont have a Storage Card inserted now. Still the same problem
Btw. Using Laurentius V1.2 now. Same error here. i try to flash a lower Radio now.
As i said before i flashed stock 1.66 via storage card with radio and spl and still had the same Problem.

have you try flash rom with activeSync???

Are you able to flash HSPL again? Can you confirm on the Tri Color screen it says HSPL 1.42?

Everything flashes as usual. HSPL, Radio and ROMs. The software just isnt running stable after flash.
If it would be a Radio/SPL/ROM problem the stock rom should fix it.

Not wanting to be the one to say it but maybe your device is defective or damaged. Or maybe the problem was caused ny the failure going to sleep, but I don't think so. I have accidentally unplugged mine before during flash and still got it back. If you reflash the ROM it should work again. If you don't have any luck I would flash back to the Stock ROM and take it in for repair.

To bad noone can help. I will do some research and if i have no success i will send it back.
Some weeks of waiting

Yes there have been many. There have been some in my threads. There is also a thread posted here with lots of discussions and it was determined the the lock ups and freezes with Manila 19222911 was the 16gb cards. It seems there was only one ROM that did not have the problem and unfortunately this cook doesn't share with others.

im making improvements. after flashing stock i found out that i can change more and more settings and install programs without the need to hard reset. when i damage the filesystem with a program or setting i hardreset the device. after restart i can install that program without problems and can try another one.
seems that my device is repairing magically

I think you didn't understand. after EACH program or setting i need to hardreset.
after hardreset i can install that program as usual as all programs i did that with before.
sseems that i 'gain' more and more storage back.

I guess I don't understand. You have to have a working ROM to install a program? For a stock ROM you should not have to install anything. It either works or it doesn't.

[Q] Broken Micro-USB connector, can't flash stock LEOIMG.nbh but can flash custom ROM

I have a very strange problem and if anyone could help me I'd very much appreciate it as I can't find anything similar in the forums (with a solution) after a month of searching.
My HD2 has HardSPL3 and the ChuckyDroid ROM with Android on an SDCard.
The USB connector on the handset has stopped working (the metal D-shape thing wobbles about) so I cannot flash a ROM to it via the ROM Update Utility, only by the LEOIMG.nbh on an SDCard method works.
I need to send the handset back to Vodafone for a warranty repair, but obviously having HSPL3 and a custom WM ROM invalidates my warranty so I need to flash the stock ROM back to the phone to remove them both.
Problem is that I can flash any custom ROM I find to the handset using the SDCard method (Except Energy ROM's for some reason) but when I try to flash the stock Vodafone ROM using this method it fails to start the phones flash routine.
So I'm stuck with a phone I can't charge (using desktop charger for the battery atm) and I can't send back for repair.
Any ideas?????
Thanks in advance!

dont worry too much about the rom, get a close to stock custom rom on there, use hspl2.exe to remove hspl (set it to 1.66.0000) and it should be fine.

Is it possible to flash HSPL2 onto it without using the USB cable?
The connector on the handset is totally borked so i can't use the PC for anything, just the SDCard flashing method. :/

**BUMP**
I haven't found a solution still.

no, you cant use any other means to run hspl.
as to why custom roms flash from card and stock dont, you must be doing something wrong. please outline your proceedure.

I downloaded the stock Vodafone ROM from the link in mskip's flashing thread.
Rename the .exe to .zip
Extract the zip
Rename the RUU_Signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to an SDCard.
insert card into handset and reboot holding the volume down button.
Same procedure I use for flashing custom ROM's.

hmm, very strange, all i can suggest is trying several different stock roms. dont forget to check what your bootloader says for spl, because even a failed stock flash can remove hspl and reset stock spl.

I downloaded the ROM directly from HTC support site but same thing occurs when I try to flash it. HSPL is definitely still on there too.
I find it weird that I can flash any custom ROM except the Energy ROMs, I'm assuming that perhaps these have more in common with stock ROM's than the others.
I'm lost atm!

a long shot, but are you extracting the ruu_signed before copying it to the sd card, or are you drag/dropping it directly to the phone from within winrar/winzip? I've heard of that causing problems with corruption before, though I can't remember the files involved or the context.
try different stock roms, you said its voda, but was it locked voda?
appart from that, thoughts would be, make sure the sd is freshly formatted, full format, not quick format, fat32, get the roms from different sources, maybe even use different browsers to download them, maybe even try the wwe 3.14 rom, even if it flashes the spl and then wont load the rom, you can always plead ignorance with them, it's a stock spl after all. (Course, they may just tell you to do one, so only try that if you are prepared to argue)

I've tried two different downloads of the ROM (htc.com and the one in mskips thread) and two different sdcards, the 2GB that came with it and a Class 4 Kingston. I'll try formatting both cards using the sdcard.org formatter in Win2K and see if that makes a difference.
My desktop charger has now decided to die on me so I can't try anything until my new one arrives from Hong Kong in a week or so. :/

thx it worked but after reinstalling the stock rom it comes again to what happend first.

You must have missed something.
1. Hold vol down to enter HSPL during boot.
2. Either Task29 or directly flash a stock rom to completely revert to original state.
3. If you using custom rom and task 29, make sure you also flash the radio.
In order for the MAGLDR to work, you MUST flash radio that enables 576MB ram. I.e.: radio with *.50.* in its version name. If your stock rom comes with *.51.* radio, you need to change the radio.
Go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787) and pick a compatible radio and flash it. Then finally flash MAGLDR. It should work then.

Can anyone tell me where to get a stock rom?
I tried the HTC website, but apparently my serial number is wrong (I dunno why). My provider (vodafone) doesn't have anything either...

You need to provide more details. Which build are you using? Did you change the kernel, if so, did u copy the modules as well? Also, have you tried formatting your SD card using the panasonic SDHC card formatter? (It may seem trivial to format, but broken file system will prevent android from mounting your sdcard)

[Q] - Phone going in for repair...

My Leo's touch screen finally died on me over the weekend, which I guess is a good run since launch till now. But anyway, I am getting a replacement phone and got to send this one back. Now it has android loaded onto the nand and I am not to sure they would be happy to get it back like that, so should I just go get the newest update off tmobs website or someone got a link?
Can I reflash the stock rom without needed the screen, if I remember back then you just plug it in and run the exe and it did the rest?
Also is there anything else I should do before sending it back?

If you are using a t-mobile HD2, then yes, you may flash the newest t-mo stock rom. Do it from your sd card if you want to remove the HSPL. But you can also remove the HSPL through Cotulla's HSPL 4, just run his exe and choose the latest SPL.

Thanks but how do you run it from the SD card? I normally just use cwm for flashing roms, and I want to just purge the phone clean. Then I got to pull up all the info to reflash my new one lol.

Don't remember lawl. Just search it up, there's bunch of other threads asking the same question in here. There's one right now in general.

[Q] HD2 Problems

I bought a used HD2 running CM10(NexusHD2-JellyBean v1.3a). I want to run WP7.8 on it so I looked up the ways to do that. Tutorials like http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1193 say to flash a stock winmo6.5 rom before moving to WP7. I tried to do that by trying to flash RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship. The normal RUU Updat Utility came up with lots or errors, but mostly connection or no response from device issues. So upon further reading i found out an alternate way to go about it by renaming the nbh and putting it in an sd card. I used 2GB microSD card and tried to flash it. But mid-way it stopped and upon reboot it said software update failed with a triangle. I went into the 3-color screen and there the message was present as well with two other messages microp led and microp touch. I tried the sd flash method again but it stopped by giving a not allow 00028002 error every time. I flashed HSPL 2.08.000 from the HSPL4 executable and Android booted up again.
i also tried RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship_2 but the same update error(266, i think) came up
Can i now go to a stock rom and then to WP7?
Thanks, in advance

thanks for the reply but i want to go back to the stock rom which it seems i'm unable to do. i tried the usb flash and microsd flash methods with both RUUs. if i get to stock then i can proceed to wp7 with a clean slate. ATM i've flashed energy rom (Energy.Leo.29022.Sense2.5.Reference.Jul.05) with radio 2.15.50.14 in an attempt to see if doing this would help flash stock rom but no success.

IF you want WP7 no need to go back to stock ROM, I guess you haven't take a look at this link

once you have Magldr in your HD2, next steps would be easy as pushing a button

got windows phone 7.8 on it, thanks. But what if i want to later on return to stock rom? even when i was trying to wipe with task29 it was giving same error 266 and as of yet i haven't successfully flashed anything by the RUU method.

Nope but then again, i never had to flash another radio. Try to follow the tutorial in mengfei's signature and if it doesn't work create a separate thread for others to weigh in.

If you want stock windows mobile (with HSPL) > Use HSPL to flash windows mobile using the RUU.
If you want stock winmo AND stock spl > Install winmo using HSPL, then use HSPL package to uninstall HSPL (i.e. install stock SPL).
That's the only way I can think of since you're getting lots of errors doing anything without HSPL.

From HSPL4 you can flash the stock SPL, which is what you did. HSPL 2.08.0000 is stock SPL. With that, you can't do much.
You need 2.08.HSPL.
Try again and report back.

Maybe the USB cable? Although I highly doubt it, there is no harm in trying. Try a different cable and see what happens.
