Tmobile HTC HD2 BOOTLOADER

hello, i was hoping someone could help me with this. I am trying to load the Android system on my phone. But it says i have to install the HSPL (HardSPL) on the phone first. I tried to do that but it asks to review the version of SPL on my phone by holding down the volume down key and check the version on the bootloader but it doesnt come up. I tried isntalling the HSLP and the HSLP2 package on this site... and didnt work. I was wondering if someone could help me on this... This phone is super glitchy and wish i can get it working a bit better. Thank you guys.

What instructions for Android are you reading? None of the real versions need HSPL at all...they all load using HaRET, an app that goes on your SD card. If you see instructions to use HSPL to get Android on your HD2, it's clearly one of the fake ones that was floating around.
Check out the thread below for all the current details on the real deal:

You have to reset your phone and HOLD the VOLUME DOWN and POWER at the same time and you will be able to check your SPL version.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem i can't get into bootlader by holding down the power button and volume down button tried and tried and tried again and all it does is come up and show the same old tmobile splash screen and from my memory of doing this before you don't see that when going into bootloader it just automatically goes into bootlader .. my question is how possible is the brick possbility of doing hardspl4

Well seeing as how majority of us do not report any situation of us bricking our phones due to flashing HSPL, I can say the possibility is almost non existent, that is if you're part of the norm of this society.
Are you sure you're holding vol down before you power up your device? Do your volume keys work with winmo/android/WP7?

HTC HD2 rom change with non working screen

Hello Everyone.
TBH im my opinion you guys are my last hope to fixing my hd2.
So here's the problem.
I have a HD2 that turns on but does not have a functioning touc screen.
ABOUT MY PHONE:
HTS HD2
Has old android in it ( I dont know which one it is, but i can describe it. It starts up with a BootLoader asking to boot android, so i have the option to press yes or no. It has old blue theme in the background.
Here's the problem. I've called HTC support and i learn my phone still has manufacturers warranty. So basically i can just send in the phone, and ill id have to pay is shipping. BUT! here's the problem. HTC does not approve of third party software installed in the phone, in my case it is the ANDROID. So now im trying to wipe android put, and install windows mobile again. I downloaded the t-mobile stock rom and when i plug in my phone, the windows mobile center automatically pops out but it shows an error symbol.
TL;DR
So my question to you guys is how do i remove Android and install Windows Mobile on an HTC HD2 with a non working screen
Thank you so much guys for even considering to help me
Mod if i posted on the wrong section could you please move it for me.
Thanks

Thanks so Much But here's an update
I went ahead and downoaded the HSPL3
I turned on my phone and also pressing the voulme down button which brought to me to a red green and white color. I had my phon conneceted to the computer VIA USB. I first double clicked the T-Mobile rom update thingy and went ahead accpeted the warning signs etc,so the first thing that came up was identifying phone, and after 5 seconds it disappears so nothing came fro that, then later i double clicked the HSPL3 which asked me to either pick the 2.8 or the the 2.8 spl i believe, i had the spl installed so i wen ahead clicked the 2.8. it installed and my phone rbooted and BAM my touch screen worked, and when it asked to boot android i pressed NO. my phone rebooted and iagain the boot loader came up and asked to bott android, so this time i pressed BUt it didnt work because the touch screen stopped working!
So i went ahead to try everything all over but this time i clicked the 2.8 spl and after a minute on my phone it displayed " we hacked it" etc etc etc, i robooted my phone, ad it worked, i turned it on and off twice and it worked i was using my phone after a month So after playing with it alittle bit i decided to put my sim card in it. I turned off the phone and put the Sim card and turned on the phone so i can use it but.....once again the touch screen stopped working... ****!!!!!!

yep, now the touchscreen is once again not working

Download a stock WM ROM for your phone, extract and rename your .nbh to leoimg.nbh. Transfer leoimg.nbh. to your SDcard.....enter bootloader mode....there it will flash back to your WM ROM with all HSPL remove. Time to send back to Manufacturer for repair..

Okay hold on. So when you see stock WM ROM coud that be the "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_311...." file? and where can i find my .nbh file?

Am i doing something woring? i mean i can get to the screen where it shows the foru colors, i guess that would be flashing and once i get there i can't do anything else the only way for me to do anything while im on that screen is if i have it connected in with my computer, and also start runinng the HSPL program which switches from Hspl to a NON hspl vice versa.
I hope youre not tired of me lol!

I installed maglar 1.12 on my hd2 using the nbh file method... now my hd2 wont turn off it just restarts as soon as you turn it off or put the battery back in.... when in magldr the button lights flash repeditally.... I can still flash roms using maglr usb method but when the roms are booted up the button lights are on constantly even in sleep, it seems to recive random input, and you cant put it in sleep mode and when it goes into sleep mode naturally you cant turn it back on........ My first thought was to try and to go back to stock but because I dont have a windows mobile rom on I cant use the active sync method and for some weird reason it wont go to the bootloader(yes I know how to get to the bootloader I am not and idiot)........ so I am stuck and dont know what to do

what happens when you try to go to bootloader?

Bro, try flashing any windows mobile 6.5.* rom on your hd2..
To do so, enter hd2 in bootloader mode,
Keep pressing DOWN + POWER when device is switchd off initially
and flash any rom.
This will surely help you

People he can not flash anything having to do with flashing via the SPL bootloader, this is why Orangekid and I both asked what happens when the OP trys to boot into bootloader.

calm down everyone!
lol
sorry, like others have mentioned, what exactly happens from start to finish when you try and get in to the boot loader, yes i know you said you know how to do it
but humour us, start to finish, buttons you push, whats on teh screen, everything.
sounds like something in the SPL has been screwed, been a lot of that recently which is a bit odd.

I can not get to the bootloader
I know that I cant get to the bootloader I tried the way you said above again and it just goes stright to magldr so I can not flash back to stock ........ I took it to a phone repair guy who said he fixed it and it appeared like he did but then two hours later it started again .......

Here is a video of my phone

Ok everyone as you can see he can not get the SPL bootloader to come up.
I will help you out with your Youtube link too.
I am very sorry to tell you but without being able to get to the bootloader you can not flash a official ROM back to the HD2 so you can not send it in for warranty exchange our repair. That is unless there is some miracle program out there that you can run from your computer to force the bootloader to bootup, which i have never heard of one. (Note to Devs that would be a awesome program to create if it is possible )
There is the bootloader.exe but you already have to have a Sync type connection for it to work and i don't know if the connection you get using Zune is enough. I attached the a EnterBootloader.zip file but like I said i don't know if it will help you are not. Try connecting and syncing your HD2 with Zune and then try to run the EnterBootloader.exe from your computer and see what happens.

Thanks for the program but when I try to run it in windows phone 7 it gives me the error that it is not a valid windows phone 7

Is there a way I could update or change magldr without the bootloader? or is there any sort of windows mobile rom I could install through magldr like you would with android or wp7?

I mean sorry it gives the are that it is not a valid win32 aplication not windows phone 7 that was a typo

Was shocked to watch your video !!
there is no way to flash windows 6.5 roms directly through MAGLDR..
would suggest you to get HD2 to nearby mobile repair center, hopefully they can help you out

I know someone in that can JTAG your HD2 buit he lives in Texas, but he is very good and experienced with JTAGing HD2s, PM me if you want more info as it would be against the rules for me to provide any other information in the forums.
Also I do not think you need JTAG but just need your voulume rocker fixed, but he is still the guy to do it.

the volume buttons should be easy to test within windows its self
I doubt its MAGLDR issue, it looks like an SPL issue.

could you tell me how much the jtag would cost and the volume down and up buttons work when the wp7 build is up

Download the stock Windows Mobile ROM for your particular device (TMOUS, Telestra, etc.) and rename the ruu_signed.nbh to LEO_IMG.nbh and put it on an sd card of 4gb or less. Put the sd card in your HD2 and power it on while holding the volume down (vol -) button the entire time it's starting until you enter into bootloader (tri-color screen). The leo_img.nbh should be detected shortly and then you will be prompted to press a certain button to flash the new ROM. Once it's done, you will have stock WM 6.5 and the stock bootloader back on your phone, ready to ship off for repairs.
Just make sure and find the correct stock ROM for your device, or you will be sorry. If you flash a EU ROM to a TMOUS HD2 for example, it will brick the device. Look in the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 stickies and you will surely find a link to stock ROMs to download.

Thank you Mr. huggs u made my night

No problem, glad I could help

Hi,
"Smart Mobility" screen
I had that problem too, and did a hard-reset.
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down buttons (hold hard) and press Power switch until you see the warning sign to confirm a hard reset.
The system will do a re-flash of the original Windows Mobile ROM.
Start Android by running HaRET from Windows Mobile
Yes, you have to run HaRET.
You can make it simpler by making a short-cut in Windows Mobile Start Menu.
Tap and hold on HaRET until you see the Dialog Box to Cut, Copy, etc.
Tap Copy.
Go to Device-Windows-StartMenu, paste as a shortcut
These steps are in the Touch HD Manual. If you do not have one, download it from the HTC website.

GBX0C2.3.7 Build is on SD card.
You will need to boot from Windows Mobile first, then run HaRET to reboot to XDAndroid.
If XDAndroid hangs, you need to remove battery, put back battery and power on. Then you see Windows Mobile and do above step again.
Always, from XDAndroid to go back to Windows, you need to Power Off, and then Power On again.

You say you are flashing the original ROM. You mean the original HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM? I understand you can only get this done only from HTC authorized centers.

plug the usb cable to the computer/laptop
and then run the shipped rom executable file... when the tricolor screen displays USB at the bottom.
else extract the RUU_signed.nbh or any file with .nbh extension from the shipped file with zip viewers like 7-zip

Hi there! I think that you can't reflash even a Original ROM without unlock the phone with new Hard-SPL from Olinex ,considering that you have tried a Hard Reset and nothing happened ,your last option is to unlock the phone and reflash the ship ROM ,or to flash a custom ROM ( is not a good solution if you still have warranty,but still you cand revert your stock SPL:good so ,you have nothing else to lose , all is left for you is to try what i said before . If you don't know how to do it,let me know and i will post the exact links to instructions.

Hi all,
You can try a NAND ROM like the new release of Fagyi. There is an easy step by step manual to installation. You will lose winmo, but you will have a real android.
It looks pretty and he has solved many of the issues of previous versions.
