HD2 Unable to flash rom

Hi,
I bought an HD2 at launch, put HSPL on it pretty soon afterwards and flashed custom roms without a problem. Then I decided to roll back to an official HTC rom, 1.66 NLD. I flashed it from internal storage, my mistake I guess. I just tryed to flash the Artemis V16 rom and the SPL cant seem to get past the "Loading..." stage. I tried via both internal storage and activesync. CustomRUU says it cant get a connection to the device (after its rebooted to spl).
I then tried to install HSPL2, the same thing happens.
Any way to get this working again?
Thanks.
Nils

try different usb socket, specifically one around back of the pc, NOT one in the case or on a usb hub.

Dont think the usb socket is the problem, cause it does the same when trying to flash from MicroSD. Will try later though.

well it WOULD fail over sd card unless you have hspl installed (well except for your original rom, that one would work)

can u go to the three coloru screen and tell us ur SPL version number?
i think u can enter the screen when u press volume up at start.. not sure >.<!
if the stock rom overwrote ur old SPL.. well.. we'll see
EDIT: sry, its the volume down button. just shut down ur phone. then start again and press volume down till u are in the tri color screen, there u should see the SPL version...
u can get out of the tri color screen by soft reseting

My SPL version is 1.66.000000 or something like that. It shows the tri color screen for a sec then goes on to show the grey screen with blue text saying "loading..." and halts there.

i got spl 1.42.. but i dont think that 1.66 is a problem..
but beside the spl version should be the hspl too, if u flashed one. and u said u did...
and it should NOT be that tri color screen shows up for only one sec..

1.66.0000 is stock.
boot into bootloader, connect to usb, run hspl2, choose 1.66.hspl and report back.

Freeze on HTC logo after MAGLDR install

Hi there! I have a problem after install MAGLDR :/ I connected my HD2 to computer with ActiveSync, runned ROMUpdateUtility from computer, on my phone there was a tricolour screen, then self-reset and phone is freezing on white HTC LOGO. I tried to turn off my phone, remove battery... I'm also turning my phone on with press vol down + power - I have 3 colour screen and now what? PLEASE HELP!

Connect your HD2 to your laptop/pc... boot it while pressing volume down.. wait untill it says usb in the bottom of your screen. Now you can flash HSPL 2.08 and flash a custom or original rom.
I had the same.. gonna stick with RAM roms untill this is nand stuff is sorted out

I have the same problem... but after reflash HSPL 2.08 there will be no change. Could not start the machine.
How can flash rom from pc without booting the machine?
I couldn't understand "Now you can flash HSPL 2.08 and flash a custom or original rom." the second step ...

solved!
I had the same problem.
The issue it's the radio.
install 2.15.50.14

Hi,
After installing hspl 2.08 and then going on to install magdlr, when successful and rebooting it just stayed on the HTC logo screen. It wont reset but it will enter into bootloader. How exactly do i fix this. I tried reinstalling HSPL but it is still stuck on that screen. How would i change this 'problematic radio'?
I relly need to fix my phone so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Download a compatible radio (eg 2.15.50 in post above), boot to bootloader (switch off, vol down + power on (keep holding vol down until it boots), connect to pc and when usb shows on screen run the CustomRUU.exe in the radio download. (if there isn't one included you can take any one from a custom wm rom). You flash the radio the same way that you flash a rom.

Thanks for the quick response! I have tried doing this before and just tried the custom RUU posted above but when i run it where it says the image thats on the phone it is blank. Even so i click to update it and both on the phone and pc it stays at 0%. I don't know what to do!

Are you sure you have HSPL installed properly. In bootloader mode, check the spl version - it should show as 2.08.hspl, not 2.08.0000 or any other hspl version.

In bootloader mode it says SPL 2.08.0000? When installing it i did select the HSPL 2.08?? What should i do? Thanks

I had your problem and for some reason when I first ran hspl the first time and put 2.08 on my phone it said it worked but it didn't actually do anything.
Just reinstall 2.08 HSPL on your phone and then run MAGLDR.

Similar Scenario
I installed 2.08.HSPL - confirm at boot loader screen
I installed MAGLDR 1.13 with success
Flashed HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.5_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TMOUS to my phone with success
Phone worked fine for about a day and a half and froze up
Pulled battery and restarted to white screen
I can't seem to roll back the SPL, reinstall the MAGLDR, or install a different radio.
ROM Update Utility appears to start to work and phone restarts and I get an error message that the image is corrupt.
Any ideas?

[Q] I can't install ROM

I had stock 1.66 and I tried install 3.14 stock. I download ROM form HTC page after giving serial number.
All flash process on PC was done correctly, on PC was that flash is finish (it goes to 100% and then I can put only Finish) but on phone I saw only SPL 3.03 after a longer while I decided to reset phone but after reset there is still only SPL 3.03, when I tried install ROM again but it always goes to 1% (HTC logo on Phone is strange, has strange lines on it) and I have error on PC Invalid Model. I tried install older versions but situation is the same.
Is there any possibility to force install ROM in this case or phone is permanently dead now?

on bootloader screen, what does the model ID read as? (top line)

It kinda sounds like you downloaded the wrong stick ROM. Who is you carrier? And what model HD2 do you have?

[Q] help needed,, my htc hd2 doesnot boot up! pls HELP

I bought an HTC HD2 FEW WEEKS BACK FROM ONE OF MY FRIEND.
I DO NOT HAVE THE HISTORY OF WHAT HE TRIED TO DO WITH IT.
BUT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK/DEAD , HE GAVE TO ME FOR CHEAP.
NOW THIS PHONE IS UNDER WARRANTY TILL AUG-2012 AND IS FROM VODAFONE.
(EVEN AFTER INSTALLING ANDROID IT IS VOID)
HE MUST HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ROM/HSPL TO GET TO THIS POINT.
PROBLEM:
When I power up the phone, it displays a NRG LOGO SCREEN (energize software), and it gets stuck on it forever.
When I do hold the power down button, then it comes up with the three colour screen and it says SPL-2.08.0000, AND also says rom update failed (only if i try to install and then start up)
The phone does connect through USB when it is on the three colour screen, but it does not let me install the rom or the spl...
I have tried literally every single step possible. I have tried to do task 29, i have tried install the original rom, i have tried to put the rom in the sd card and try it that way..
Some times after several hundred attempts, it does let me change the spl... as it was displaying 3.... before then i changed to 1.4..... and then to 2.08...
All i want to do is to get rid of the NRG SCREEN, so i could send to the htc ,, for repair ( i know that it is not under warranty if i used andriod, but they will not know) .. or is there any way to completely format the phone,,, is there any solution to install andriod or microsoft? pls help

The nrg screen shouldn't be a problem, but spl 2.x will definitely be refused, since spl 2.x is only for t mo USA hd2's.
As for "spl 2.08.0000 and software update failed",, someone tried to flash a non matching rom from SD whilst hspl was installed, result, hspl removed, stock tmous spl installed which then checks your phone vs the rom, finds a mismatch and gives software iupdate failed.
it wont boot because there is no rom to boot, it was wiped at the start of the flash.
Here's what I'd do
First to be sure its really broke (from your description there are a half dozen reasons why it wont start)
Use hspl4 to set spl 3.03.hspl NOT 3.03.0000
flash the wwe 3.14 rom from USB.
Alternatively, to make the phone warranty safe, again set spl 3.03.hspl (or 1.42.hspl or 1.66.hspl,, note that at no time am I using 2.08 or 2.10 spl) flash a stock splashscreen (several threads available)
Then use hspl2 again but this time choose the same spl but ending 0000.
Its the spl that is the real key, people have sent back hd2s with cooked roms and splashscreens, and no problems, but send a regular hd2 back with a spl that reads "x.xx.hspl " or any spl/hspl starting 2.x and they will refuse
Just cos it used to have android on doesn't mean a thing, they can't tell.

Okay...
Let me be specific
Thank you for your reply
Now it has successfully flashed the 3.03 hspl...
Now the problem is after that.. when I flash the rom I.e 3.14xxxx pr 2.10xxx it will just start as usual and when it reaches 99%, it gets stuck and then the error box opens up.. after the recovery, the same thing happens over and over again.. these are the original from but I have also tried other roms and they stuck at different %s
Help

Shame, Well, I guess the splashscreen is back to stock now? In which case remove hspl (set it to 1/3.xx.0000) and it will be warranty safe.

I have the same problem ! I have intalled the NRG Rom for HD2 Leo EU and every thing was good it works smooth, by i have download an app form Google Play "Beats Audio" with make somethin wrong with the drivers of DSP and HTC Music so i decide to re install the Rom and i fallow the steps for that i make a partitation for 200mb and then do the other steps...but at the end when i install the NRG Rom and start it for first time it freez on the NRG ENERGIZE logo saying "Please wait..." i wait for 30 min nothing... What can i do ???

boot loop after jtag

hello,
i have a broken hd2, so i buyed a hd2 motherboard. unfortunately it was a bricked one (on bootloader shows the message "upgrade rom error"). tried everything, but i've noticed that i can change the spl to hspl and viceversa, can do task29, but can't install magldr or stock rom. tried also to install after hspl custom rom, finnished, but on reboot shows only the logo and that's all.
so i decided to jtag the mb. tried to flash first HD2_512_0x00000000_GOOD.bin file, but when finnished flashing, the guy with jtag can't see the partitions... tried then HTC_Leo_Full512MB_00AD_55BC_Alive.bin, got an error on a memory location (0x00001A9C0000), but finally flashed with success. when tried to start the phone, got the htc green screen, but after that entered in "booting loop"... what can i do ?!?!?!?!?!
tried change the battery, observed the power pins, but still boot loop...
can you tell me please what to do????

I would think mainboard nand is bad or other hardware fault is present.
Your initial symptoms was not indicating bricked board.

tried to install stock rom but got error (8% load...)
after that hspl again, wipe 29, works both. tried to install magldr: both 1.2 and 1.3 success, but on magldr menu i don't have any options...

press the tiny reboot button compared to battery pull!
