Stuck HD2 LEO only bootloader brick

Hi everyone,
At first at all i would like to apologize for my language.
Well...
I have HTC HD2 LEO for East Europe.
I change Rom to Artemis HD2 ROM and it goes well. After few days it realese Artemis HD2 ROM Family Ver 22.0 Gen 2 and I update ROM.
At first boot it load normaly but after soft reset it stuck on HTC logo with information about ROM etc in left down corner. Then i do hard reset and htc load rom but the soft was unstable and when I put off battery it stuck on HTC logo even i do hard reset.
I read a loot about white htc logo and do many trick,
I try to instal official rom for east europe using usb connection, but instalation stop and 9% and triangle apear. Instalation stop at difrent stage for difrent ROM's, sometimes is 24% sometimes 2% but never goes to end.
I try instal by sd card but sytuation is that... 3 color apear, very quick white screen with "Loading..." and back to 3 screen color and nothing more. I try with 2 different cards unnamed 4GB and kingston 8GB.
I try to instal different radio 50 and 51, SSPL, HSPL it's says i mus have 1.42, HSPL2/3 it's stuck at usb connection searching. I forgot, 3 screen color show me i have 1.66.HSPL XE.
Only one operation goes well, to 100%, Task29 provided by doloop, after that HD2 buz and show only white htc logo. But when i try to do more... change radio with task29 it's stock on 24%
I don't know what to do now. Mayby goldcard will be helpfull but i don't shure what is wrong with the sd card and i don't now how to do this goldcard.
Thank You for eny sugestion,
I will try to do enything to wake up my HD2
Ask if You need more information.

I know this might be a dumb question but is your sd card formatted to fat32?

nvm try to put on orignal SPL? and than try to flash to stock rom with Sdcard?

i suspect that.....
when it first wouldn't boot artemis 22 you needed to change the radio not the rom but then you flashed official rom by sd card it removed hspl and then failed because wrong region.
boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl
return to boot loader
flash any radio mentioned in artemis thread using usb
return to boot loader
flash artemis
when phone starts to set up force hard reset
allow to boot
let us know how it goes

thank You for request
roloracer
there is no dumb question but dump anserwers . Yes, card's are formated using fat32
Veldmuus
how can I put only SPL? any solution?
samsamuel
"boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl"
I try, and it's strange. When I go in to boot loader plug usb cable to htc the "serial" change to "USB" and it is the end of my work becouse when I run HSPL3 it's stay at "Waiting USB connection..." and no else happend.
Mayby it will be succesfull if I use to do this sc card but.. as You know it isn't work.

When you tried to flash the official stock rom back from the sd card did you make sure the rom image was called “LEOIMG.NBH” and on the root of the sd card.

try all different usb ports. try to not use ports in the front of pc case, use one around back of the pc.
also right click hspl and choose "run as administrator"

My hd2 see sd card beacouse when slot is empty "Loading..." don't apear. When I plug card "loading..." is apear but only for one socond mayby faster.
root.. you mean file not in eny folder, just on starage card without any folders, yes?
I called leoimg.nbh every time I put file to sd card

What operating system is on the pc you are tring to flash hspl with?

samsamuel
how do You know i use front usb port?
I plug to other usb ports but effects are the same. What I discover... when the HSPL3 is searchin usb connetion and I pluget off hd2 from usb there apear Critical error from HSPL3 program. It mean probably HSPL3 connect to hd2 but stuck.
I work on Xp profesional SP3

hspl is picky about which port it uses.
Personally i would enter bootloader manually, connect to usb, wait for 'serial' to change to 'usb', and only then run hspl3.

what radio rom is currently on the hd2?

Well.. Every time i try to instal something I go manualy to bootloader. As I say hspl3 stuck at connetion with hd2, i can turn of program run again but nothing happends.
Probably radio was 2.10 or official now i dont remember but I gues 2.10

When you connect the phone to the pc the pc does detect it, right? becuase i had a couple of instances where i've tried to install updated radios, ran the installer and windows hadn't finished detecting the phone and that caused a connection issue and the radio installer to quit but when i ran it immediately after this it worked fine.
So i suggest you get the phone to the bootloader manually then connect it to the pc an then leave it a few minutes before you run the hspl3 installer.

Guys... all of You are brilliant. If I don't ask what the problem is on this forum probably I cry on my htc box. But I don't .
It's working... rom instal and everything goes well.
The thing i change to work: I change home I was in my second home and now I'm In my family home special to test instal HSPL3. I have here other USB cable and other computer with XP OS. I read all post and do all again.
First I plug usb cable to front panel... too fast, my bad. It's going wrong.
Then I read about chose different USB connector... too fast becouse when I try i fail, but read last post, plug htc to pc, go make coffe and back. Turn on HSPL3 and it's work, find my hd2 and give me a choose witch spl to instal.
Then I back to samsamuel post and make his instruction. When I end every thing work very well i restar my hd2 and by the now i don't see eny problems.
At finish I would like to thanks

Thank You very much Guys,

Good news! and now a long deep breath of relief.

No problem dude. The wait is caused by windows XP needing to install and then load a couple of drivers so it can talk to the phone in bootloader mode. If you're not amazingly rich like me (OK i'm not really) and can't afford a cutting edge PC like mine this may take a few minutes to complete.

[Q] Possible Brick?? Some help if possible

Hey Guys,
I have NFI what happened to my phone but I think its bitten then dust..
I've been running NAND Android builds for a while now, the phone has been a bit funky for a few weeks now so I wanted to completely wipe and start form scratch..
So I download Task29 a new radio and ROM from the links in the ROM page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951) and ran Task29 like I have multiple times before.
The install went fine, and the phone rebooted like its meant to but now its stuck on the HTC screen, I can't boot in MAGLDR or HSPL...
So, is it borked??

suitable radio? suitable spl? both are critical. magldr wont work without 2.08.hspl and a ..50.. radio

The radio that was installed on before running TASK29 was, Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.
It already had HSPL v2.08 and MGLDR 1.3, already installed.
As I said, I've flashed new WinMo and Android ROM's hundreds of times, I mean I dont normally run Task29 before every install but I have multiple times in the past.
I only ran Task29 today as the phone was being really bad so I though a clean install might be the best way to go.

hmm, not sure what to suggest without sounding patronising, hehe,
there are a few people that cant seem to get magldr to start, for no good reason,
reflash the radio (just in case) manually go check the spl in bootloader again (just in case it doesnt say 2.08.hspl,, sometimes what you know for a fact is true actually isnt) and as for magldr, well its susceptible to all the usual flashing issues, , run as administrator, try every usb port, turn off your firewall,,,, try another pc even, , in fact if you have another pc available, try that first.

Thanks for the replies, but I can't get it to boot into MGLDR or SPL thats my problem.
When I turn it on it loads up the 1st HTC logo and hangs.
Is there another way that I can flash a radio of I cant boot into SPL???

I've read something about this before. I don't think it's an easy fix and it may be best to try go back to where you bought it and try get a replacement or send it in to HTC. I'm not too sure if they'll know that you have HSPL installed. I'd say highly likely they will. Have you tried hard resetting? Or can you not get to that screen?
If you want to find more on this just google "HD2 Wsod" or "HD2 White screen of death". You'll find lots if people with the same thing.
My HD2 has something similar but I can get to HSPL but it stays at a blank white screen with normal power on.
What happens when it's off snd you plug in the USB? Does it try start because of MAGLDR or just charge/do nothing?

Thanks for the reply, when I plug the USB cable in while the phone is off, only the charge light comes up. Doesn't actually try and boot

I know you said you ha e flashed hundreds of times, so you should know this. I am not being patronizing here either, but I will say it anyway. You have gwo different ways to flash a new radio, but both require gou to put gour HD2 into bootloader.
To put your HD2 into bootloader turn the device off and then turn it back on but hold the volume down button wbile it is booting and it will go to bootloader.
Whilr jn bootloader connect via USB cable to gour computer wait until you see USB the wbite bar of bootloader then you can flash the radio, a Win Mo ROM, HSPL, or MAGLDR just wich ever one uou want to flash at that time.
You can use a 500MB to 4GB SD card to flash the radio as well as a Win Mo ROM. You just rename the.nbh file to leoimg.nbh for the radio or the ROM and copy it to the root of your SD card. plasce the SD card back in the device. Put the device into bootloader but do not let go of the volume down botton until you see search hinge on the screen of the device. Be aware though if you flash a official ROM this way it will overwrite everything HSPL and all so you whind up with a stock HD2 again.

Stupid question: you are holding down the volume down button to boot into HSPL right?

HD2 kinda broken what can i do?

Hey XDA
Hope someone out there have got some good advice. We have some HD2s where i work and i have been sent one that is acting kinda weird.
I simply can not get it to flash a rom (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_DAN_3.14.403.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) - we only use normal HTC roms. When i try to flash it nothing happens, it boots into the bootloader and just sits there at 0% until i disconnect the cable, if i dont it will sit there untill it runs out of battery. Tried a few times now and same result.
i have also just tried a restore, to see if its the internal flash rom that is broken and the restore also fails. My own HD2 restores in like a few seconds but this one just sits there again, like when i try to flash a rom to it.
So is it totally dead or is there something i should try?

Have you tried to use task29 (via computer) , then flash (via nbh) the htc rom?

hmm just tried task29 and it did nothing, it booted the phone to the bootloader but no progress screen did show up. Tried it again and the phone just shut off again after showing the bootloader for a few seconds.
beginning to think this phone is toast.
Gonna try a HSPL update later and just flash a non HTC rom to see if that works.

HSPL 2.08 & reflash original HTC ROM via PC USB.
Do you get any error codes from the flash utility ?
could be CID related but you should see error code.

Yes, trying it with HSPL seems like a good idea to me, too.
Because then you can also try other ROMs.

will try this stuff on monday - i just cba to do more work today
thx for the advice

Build a gold-card and flash from the SD slot. If that doesn't work, put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, boot the phone and try flashing again immediately in it's chilled state. If it get's ANY further, you have a bad overheating NAND and need a new main board.

got HSPL2.08 flashed and a Dutty 3.14 rom but phone refuses to reboot sometimes and boot just shows the white HTC background and does not show the radio/os versions in the bottom. So i am just gonna toss this one out, since its can not be serviced (supplier has gone bust).
But still havn't gotten any error codes from the phone or flash programs, other then "USB connection failed". So i think its nand is kinda broken now.

first, you can't run 3.14 roms on anything except spl 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
Second it isn't booting because it almost certainly needs an updated radio, 2.15.50 for instance. You probably still have a 2.xx.51 from the original stock, and so wont show rgd screen till you change radio, won't run smoothly till you correct the spl with hspl4

Put phone into bootloader manually, don't use front mounted USB ports, be sure and update win mo dev center to latest ver ..... all the usual USB connection error advice. Trying another PC with a different windows variant often helps if its available.

hmm you sure? The dutty download page says -
Things to Know how about my ROMs:
* Radio 2.15 Recommended
* HSPL 2.08 Recommended
* HSPL 3.03 doesn't support 576 RAM enabled
But i'll try to flash a 3.03HSPL and find out what happens. I did flash 2.15.50.14 radio before i flashed the Dutty rom. But gonna give it one last try.

Have tried two pc's now, both running Win7 32bit - its all we have now.

Ahhh gitcha, then the dutty rom mustnt be 100% 3.14 rom (I didn't check) it must use a 2.x base to enable 576ram.
In which case, if stock roms don't flash but custom did, it could be stuck radio syndrome, which you can test for with (correct, get it using your serial from HTC.com) stock rom flash from sd card (4gb or smaller, fat32). Look out for "rsa radio fail" or similar on screen.
Edit, oh you said you flashed a radio, and that went ok?

yeah HSPL2.08, HSPL3.03 and Radio is flashing just fine. The roms i have tried also flashes perfect its just will not boot afterwards. I can usually do a hardreset on it and it will boot one time. If you then shut it off and try to turn it on again it fails with the white HTC screen again.
I am toally clueless on what is wrong with it, so gonna try to figure out if we have some kind of warrenty left on it and get it switched over to another one.

[Q] Can't install anything, maybe bricked?

OK. It's not me who have the problem and I may not provide you enough information. However, I will try as much as I can to get the info from the man who has the problem.
A friend of mine got an used HD2, with stock WinMo. The fist thing he did was of course hard-reset it. Aaand the system got ****ed up. He couldn't boot it sometimes (had a grey screen, he said with some weird text under, like Boot_W_PWE_KEY_PRESSED or BOOTUP_W_WARM_RESET after trying to install sth, few times it managed to boot up but lagged so much). I ignored it and wanted to do task29, radio, magldr, android. First thing - HSPL. Downloaded HSPL4, installed HSPL 2.08 fine. Then - Task29 + Radio. And nothing. ROM Code Error. After few tries, HTC logo and progress bar showed up. Task29 is stuck on 96% though and then displays an exclamation mark in a triangle.
After a restart, grey screen is still present.
We can't install magldr as well (dat error again).
What could go wrong?

try use HSPL3 cuz HSPL4 is for wp7 mango but not for HD2 Leo

You need to study more.

OK, so we managed to install magldr on 11th? try and on 21st try we managed to boot Android from SD.
I'm pretty sure that NAND is damaged (NAND Android and WP7 couldn't boot at all, 1E FATAL HIT, same was with Android SD, but after many tries it booted), but when the phone hangs up after trying to play Angry Birds (so much that only thing he could do was to pull out the battery) and sometimes hangs up just for a while without a particular reason means that something else is damaged as well?

Boot loader
Has he tried booting into the boot loader.
Hold the down volume button and the power key at the same time.
If he gets a multi-colored screen then he is not bricked.

By 'bricked' I mean unusable because of physical damage that doesn't allow to run the phone properly.
Oh. Also he managed to install and boot WP7. It will return a 'Fatal hit' if it won't have enough break without a battey. It boots only after few mins turned off (which makes installing cabs almost impossible D: )... It was bought used, I think it had fallen and few more components were damaged...

HD2 doesn't boot

Hi all, I have a big problem. My phones one week ago starts to freeze sometimes, and yesterday it died completly. I can get into HSPL, but nothing more. When I tray to perform task29 I get error 270-image fail damaged, the same performing magldr or clk install. Even stock 1.66 rom doesn't work, stops on 4% install and phone catch reboot-error. When I power on phone normally, I can see only white screen or after not finished install of stock 1.66 rom or clk or magldr I can see green htc logo-but sometimes with "artifacts"-some pink stripes or pixels. What can I do with my phone? It's completly bricked?

Does it feel hot? One weak ago, when the freezes started, was the phone getting too hot?

I don't think so...it was working generally normal, only few freezes (I must put the battery off 2-4 times to start device...). But I have only one HD2, so I don't know if this temperature was normal...

I try install stock 1.66 rom from nbh file from bootloader, it stops with error RADIO FAIL. So, it is radio bricked. Can I flash rom without flashing radio? Even if it's bricked? Clk doesn't use radio, right?
