HTC HD2 stuck on bootloader screen

Sorry for the double post but my other one is on page 94 of a different thread and probally wont get seen and i am now getting desperate,anyway
I have just followed the procedure as I was going to install a different ROM from ★ Miri & DINIK "Anastasia" ROM to replace my installed ROM from ENERGY
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
First I did a task 29 and now I am now stuck in the bootloader screen with its tri colour screen with USB in the white part,if I have the cable connected or Serial if the cable is removed.
I have tried a few times but it still stays on the boot screen.I am running windows 7 32 bit on my laptop and have tried all 3 different USB ports with the same result.
How do I get the phone back working?
Thanks

Your Phone is stuck in the bootscreen because you have removed the operating system with the task29. so this is normal.
make sure you have transferred the leoimg.nbh to the storage card and disconnect the phone from the cable. reboot the phone and flashing should start automatically. if it does not
now connect your phone to the computer and you will see the screen change from serial to usb
just follow the procedure as described in on the forum to flash from a computer. you do not need to be connected to activesync to do this as the phone is already in bootloader mode. just start the flashing program as described.

Thanks for that,I did realise thats the reason its stuck in the bootloader.I have connected the phone back to the computer a few times and waited untill the USB came onto the screen but the divice does not show up in "My Computer" and when I try to restore the ROM I get a 260 connection error.

I think I have just sorted the problem,not sure the reason but it was failing on a 16GB fat32 card. I have just borrowed a 2GB card from a friend put exactly the same image on and it is now updating the ROM.
Thats strange how the card has made that much of a difference,but thanks anyway.
I'll let you know how the update goes in a few minutes when it completes.
Thanks

many people have said the same thing. 16 doesn't work, 8 sometimes works, 2 usually works.

Up and running great now,,Looks like i'll have to invest in a small 2GB card as a back up,
Thanks again

Stuck also in bootloader

I flashed my HTC Leo to Dutty Multi-lang, when finished and reboot it won't and gets stuck in the "stick together" bootloader (yes, I am with TMOUS). I did what you suggested but it still won't boot, please help!

is the multi lang one the one with the base 3.04 rom? that 3.04 base isn't from tmous, have you confirmed it is tmous compatible? (i dont know enough about teh 3.04 rom)

It is 3.28.4.0

sorry, don't know what that means and i can't go hunting right now. it "sounds" like what happens when you flash a non tmous rom to a tmous, (unlike flashing the wrong radio, it doesn't brick the tmous, it just won't boot)
if i were in your shoes, id grab a known tmous compatible rom and flash that.

And how would you do that if the darn phone won't boot? I can copy a known ROM onto the card, but then how do I flash it from there? Thanks.

no need for sd card,,,boot into boot loader, connect usb, run your flash.

Problem resolved... not sure what caused it but I am a happy man now. This is what I did if this helps with people who might have the same problem.
1. Formated the SD card FAT32.
2. Copy and rename nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh to SD card.
3. Reset the phone while holding the down button. It jumps to bootloader.
4. Hook it with PC, USB is shown on the phone.
5. Download and extract SSPL_RUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh from Dutty Cream la de Cream ROM into the same folder.
6. Run SSPL_RUU and it came up and running again.
Thanks for your help though, made me feel hopeful because I was getting ready to dump the phone and run over it with my car

no worries, just for info, step two was not needed, it would have tried to flash leoimg at step three if you hadn't been using the stock gig sd card (the 16gb cards don't work, which is why the phone ignored it.)

[q] blue screen flashes & freezing please help!

EDIT PLEASE READ THROUGH
Alright, I'm about to give up again. My phone.. I don't understand what the **** is wrong with it. I have uninstalled, task29ed, reinstalled magldr flashed with CWm uhhh.. all that stuff over and over and over and over again and it STILL freezes, flashes a blue screen, crashes, restarts, freezes all that stuff.
Right now the issues I have are :
-It crashes on the tri color screen when I plug the USB in.
-It stays at the "Stick Together Scren"
-It crashes when I get to MAGLDR (IF I get t MAGLDR)
So I can't really get anywhere with these reoccurring problems.
Right now I have
-2.08.HSPL
-Radio 2.15.50.40.
-Magldr V 1.13
And that's it. I have TMOUS HTC HD2
I'm trying to install D4RK MIUI v1.5 (1.6.24)
Yes, all my battery little prongs are straight
Yes, I format my SanDisk SD Card
Yes, I did everything I was supposed, followed every instruction to the T, and yet... still.
I'm sure it's not bricked.. It still turns on and stuff, but it just freezes and crashes CONSTANTLY.
PLEASE anyone that knows ANYTHING new I could do, or can direct somewhere. PLEASE. I really love this phone and the possibilities it holds, I don't want to use my stupid Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It's so slow xDD

Anyone have any suggestions..?

To help you everything you say have to be precise. Like is your ROM is it an android NAND and what's the name of it. To check turn off your phone, then turn it on, right from the start by press and hold the red button until you see MAGLDR 1.13 screen. If you see it then we can move to next confirmation steps like what's the name of your ROM. There is no way to fix any if you just give us a maybe. From MAGLDR, select power down, then wait a few second then power your device on and let it boot all the way into the ROM. When your ROM fully loaded, go into Settings/About phone/look under what's the Build number? What's the Android version? What's the Baseband version?

I have magldr 1.13
So I ended up getting a stupid samsung galaxy s xD
ANYWAY, the other day I charged up my old HTC HD2 and prior to ignoring it and letting it die, I removed android and magldr. But I wasn't able to remove HSPL because it wouldn't stay on long enough for me to do it.
And today when I thought it had "fixed itself". It was working completely fine, no freezing on WinMo. So I thought 'what the heck let's do it again!' so I followed the steps for flashing your first nand rom from mskip and I still get the same problems. The phone freezes, I leave it alone, try to press buttons, and it flashes a blue screen then reboots. Magldr doesn't load, I can still get into the tri color screen, I've tried to master reset it multiples of times.. I DUNNO WHAT TO DOOOOOO. And it seems like I'm the only one with this problem xD Please help!

Well of course it is, what do you expect, you have just wiped the entire nand.
You need to re-install MAGLDR, then the partition size you need for the rom you want, then copy the rom to your SD and flash with recovery. Get the HD2 NAND tools from the sticky thread in Android NAND forum, that will make process allot easier for you.
You should also properly format your sdcard with Panasonic SDFormatter (Full+Overwrite+size adjust). Then in recovery>advanced>sd partition (1GB+0MB swap) If you have a EU HD2 and need the extra data storage/rom requires it.

Could you be a little more specific....? ^^;
Like.. how do I flash with recovery.
What tools are you talking about, 'cause I downloaded the HD2 toolkit and have no idea on how to use it. Seemed simpler than I expected.

Install HSPL 2.08 HSPL.
Wipe using Toolkit Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)
Flash radio...download HERE(Enter bootloader:as above)
Install MAGLDR using Toolkit (Enter bootloader:as above)
(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)
Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)
(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 swap)Remember: ALL data on your SD Card will be erased!(Therefore,back it up)
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.
An alternative is KEVIN134's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him).

Hey! Thanks for replying! I figured it out on my own and have been installing roms through my SD card via Clockwork Mod. It works well for awhile, but I still have the same problem I started off with. The phone freezes and a blue screen flashes then restarts. Do you know why this is happening?

yes, formatting the sd card fixes a lot
use radio 2.15
and before flashing a rom, always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache

Hi,
Couple more questions.
What sd card are you using?(brand,class,size,etc.)
What ROM are you trying to install?

I have SanDisk micro SD adaptorfor my SanDisk 16 GB microSD there's also a number 2 in a circle at the top right and HC in the bottom right.
I'm trying to install D4RK MIUI v1.5 (1.6.24)

Hi,
Sandisk is a good make of card which is Android friendly.
If you have formatted it as suggested above,that should not be the problem.
Did you follow my guide to the letter?
D4RK MIUI requires a 150MB CWM partition.Did you enter those figures in the KSUBEDI TOOLKIT?
Are you sure you downloaded the MAGLDR version of the ROM?

Yes, yes, yes and yes xD I'm just as stumped as you are.
Could the Sim card have anything to do with it?

[Q] Returning HD2 from android back to stock, HELP!!!

Hi Guys,
I am getting desperate with my HD2. I've read and tried most of your advices here on XDA, but I can't get rid of HSPL from my phone and return to stock ROM to send it for repair.
When I tried to flash my phone directly from SD card with renamed .nbh file, it would always get stuck at some point of installation and would leave me with phone that wouldn't boot, neither Android nor Windows. When I flash the phone thru USB while in boot loader mode (i tried few roms and radios, most recently radio 2.06.51.07 with HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2 rom)
It would install correctly and even boot the Win Mobile, but once restarted it wouldn't boot again and would get stuck on a blank white screen. Also the HSPL is still shown on the boot loader screen.
when I repeated the process and installed both radio and rom again, the same thing would repeat and I'm stuck on blank screen again.
My boot loader screen shows this:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
cotulla HSPL 0x40
The phone was from UK Virgin mobile, but came unbranded and I'm not sure what the stock rom was. I tried flashing it with SPL 2.08, but that wouldn't get me rid off the HSPL.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Get hspl2, and choose 1.66.0000
Retry the wwe 1.66 rom again.
Post results.
Spl 2.x is tmous spl, and doesn't like to let itself downgrade, which is what the 1.66 rom is trying to do.

thanks for the reply!
Just tried and it went without any error logs (only took couple of seconds) and claimed it was successfully installed, but when restarted, the boot loader screen still says SPL-2.08 HSPL.
any other ideas?

stuck radio then, most likely, which often prevemts spl from changing too.
no definitive answer as to what exactly causes it, , corrupted nand most likely.
when you say it sticks part way thru the flashing, , does it stick around 8-10%? if so then its definitely a stuck radio problem. do you get 'radio_rsa fail' or something similar?
sadly there isn't any way i know of to fix it. all i can suggest is you try various troms from sd. i read one thread (out of hundreds with teh same issue) where the OP finally found one stock rom that took.
dont forget that it needs to be teh correct stock rom, not just any stock rom. so an O2 uk hd2 must use o2 uk stock roms. 1.42, 1.72 or 3.14.
locate your correct stock roms and try them all.

Yea exactly thats what I get when flashing from SD card, stuck soon at around 10% and brings up the radio fail log.
When I do that and try to flash them all from SD card, shall I install radio first or it doesn't matter when flashing ROM from SD card?
Any idea how to find out what's the stock rom for my hd2? I tried HTC site but you can't download anything from there for HD2 since they updated their site.
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

doesnt matter when flashing stock roms, they all imclude a radio. It cant hurt to try flashing teh radio separately, but i suspect teh same outcome.

pretty sure virgin phones came rom unlocked, so look at teh filenames of teh roms, , you want 'HTC-WWE' where HTC means unbranded, and wwe means world wide english.
example
o2 branded rom filename .. RUU_Leo_S_O2_UK_3.14.206.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
unbranded rom filename ... RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
ALso, see the green numbers? thats the same for all same roms, so all o2 roms are 206 and all unbranded wwe are 405
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

shouldnt matter, but again it cant hurt to fully format the phone to fat32, full format, not quick format.

Thanks for your help man! Will try and post results later.

Thats because you are not booting into the right bootloader. See pt 4 below.
No need for all the hassle, there is a really easy way to do this. This will revert your phone ENTIRELY. Remember to have at least 50% battery before doing this:
1.Download official ROM and extract with winRAR or WinZip.
2.Rename the *.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
3.Format a SD card with FAT32 and put the LEOIMG.nbh file in the root directory
4.Insert the card to the phone and enter bootloader (While phone is Off:Hold Volume down & press power button)
5. The bootloader will recognize the .nbh file and ask if you want to flash it. Follow instructions
6.Wait a few minutes and you are back to WM6.5

Tried, doesnt work. Explained in the first post.

why are you sending it for repair in the first place?

I dropped it once and since then has the screen got some weird yellowish/greenish colours. seems like some contacts got fu**ed up, but there isnt any mechanical damage visible, so they should repair under the warranty.

But only if in bootloader the spl says 1.42.0000 1.66.0000 or 3.03.0000
Anything else will be rejected.

What you mean by 'not the right boot loader'. I did get it to start installation and recognise the file, but after a while it would come up with a error log saying something like radio failed or something like that...

Yea I know, thats why Im trying to put it back to stock.

what size sd card are you flashing the .nbh file from? you will need to use a 4gb or smaller sd card.
what he meant by the right bootloader i think was to be flashing the .nbh from the tri-color bootloader, not from MAGLDR or CWM Recovery.
If you are using a 4gb or smaller card and it's still failing at the radio, then you might as well try flashing a few different radio's by themselves and maybe you'll get one of them to take, then possibly be able to get out of HSPL

well yea, thats what will be trying to do next.
it wont let me to MAGLDR or CWM, seems like these files got corrupted too so yea, im using the tri-color bootloader.
and its 2GB sd card im using
so i guess the only way now is to try flash different roms...

dude 2-3 days back even i was facing the same problem, and here i am writing , how i get through this. i guess you already tried this, but still i am writing so that you get some help...
1)i use hspl2 and select 1.42.0000 to remove my hspl 2.08.
2)extract stock rom using "7-zip" and in the extracted folder find "RUU_signed.nbh" rename it to "LEOIMG.nbh". copy that file to your formated fat32 micro sd card.
3) reset the your hd2 while holding vol down and end call button.
4) first a tri-color screen will appear, keep pressing both the buttons, then a gray screen will come with written "loading".
5) after that 1 more gray screen will appear, loose the vol down button now, rest everything will go smooth, u dont have to do anything.

but if you return to hspl 1.42.000 the you cant flash your rom ..you need hspl 2.08 only to flash

Thanks zaaaan but I got bit luckier and virgin replaced the phone for no extra charge. I was 2 weeks before the end of the contract and I gave it a shot, sent it to virgin. They got back to me saying that they cant repair it and will therefore send me a replacement phone. I got new desire, bit smaller, but android on it runs really nicely and most of all its built for it, so no more flashing and killed hours of running in circles.
then I got 20£ discount just to stay with them on no contract. they got me
should probably add that the phone still had hspl on it

Struggling to downgrade WP7, Please help!!!

I'm trying reinstall WM6.5 on my HTC HD2 from MAGLDR V1.13.
I've downloaded the stock rom from HTC website and im trying run the installer but it fails it cant seem to pick up my phone as a USB connection.
I tried the bootloader way but it always get stuck at the installation part at 0%.
what am i? doing wrong, its driving me mad..
SPL version is SPL-2.08.0000

Make sure you’ve got more than 50% power on the device.
• Unplug USB cable

i had came across this issue last week.
when in tri-color mode, re-install hspl 2.08 and then magldr 1.12/1.13.
then try installing wm6.5.
This worked in my case.
Check if it does in urs too...
Al the best...

after the radio, I cannot download magdlr, it stops at 29%.. Or sometimes doesn't do anything!!

I'd suggest task 29 to wipe the phone completly. Then make sure you have the correct stock rom for your phone. EG if you bought a EURO o2 HD2 then you need to have the o2 3.14 stock rom. Extract the .nbh file from the .exe.
Use SD Formatter to format your SD card, this will wipe all windows 7 partitions.
Then copy .nbh file and place it on the sd card, then boot into boot loader (tri colour screen) and follow on screen instructions. A grey screen should appear at this point.
This will remove Hard spl and restore WM 6.5 and also restore the first of the two splash screens and the radio back to factory settings and will also restore your warrently as well.

Thanks for this info, will try it. Have you got a link to task 29? Is it a software?

No but it is all over XDA. I think you'll find it someware on the WM 6.5 thread. If that doesn't work your nand will be stuffed but it has allways worked for me!

Yes, even i suggest you the "flash via micro sd card" method becoz it works in worst cases. and follow all the steps sequencely. good luck

Task29 gives an error 290 and doesn't complete.
Im getting frustrated... What can i do next

task 29 now wipes my phone but everytime i flash a new rom is crashes at 9% or 10% and then i get the error 290.
i downloaded the stock rom for my phone... argggh what can be done?
thanks

Sounds like nand is dead. Looks as if you will have to return it to get it fixed!

i must agree with ghost ... sounds like you flashed the poor baby to death :'( sad sad day! and very rare i might add!

cannot believe i messed it up.......

know where i can send it for repair? will HTC cover it under warranty? will they be suspicious?

anyone? do i need to ring my phone contract people or go directly to HTC?
Thanks

Depends how old it is. It may need to go directly to HTC to get it fixed.

I read somewhere that error [290]: Invalid Command - the ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
Try changing the usb cable/connect directly to usb port (not usb hub) if you still want to use usb for flashing.
I always use the sdcard method when there's a problem flashing via usb. Rename RUU_signed.nbh (extract from stock rom exe package) to LEOIMG.nbh and copy the file to sdcard (sdcard MUST be formatted as FAT32 - use HP format tool). Put sdcard into the phone and boot into bootloader mode ... see if it works ...

[Q] Problems to flash clK or magldr to HD2

Hello everybody,
I started a thread in the German handy-faq.de forum about flashing my htc hd2 (512LEO) with android.
While they can’t help me, a forum Member told me to ask the xda-Dev.
So here am i and i hope you can help me.
At first, please pardon my mistakes in the English language, it’s a long time ago since I learned it at school
Now my Problem:
My HTC HD2 was repaired by manufacture one year ago. The Smartphone got a new Motherboard with the actual Software (HTC ROM 3.14.407.2(04666) GER, Radio 2.15.50.14…)
The original ROM WM6.5 was/is running without faults.
After reading in many forums about changing the Software I tried to put Android on my HD2.
At first I “opened” the HD2 with HSPL4 and changed the SPL3.03 to HSPL2.08.
After this was successfully done also Task 29 “worked”… I tried to flash clK1.5…the PC said: “done” but after reboot the HD2 stopped with a white screen and green htc letters.
There was no hboot! From booting with pressed “Back” or “Home” Button the same: no menu.
I tried it again several times also with clK 1.4 and magldr (after Task29) the same problem.
Back to WM6.5 via SD Card was no Problem so the HD2 works fine at this time.
What can I do to get Android on my Handy?
Is it possible, that some HD2 didn’t work with clK or magldr?
Is something wrong in "my way" of flashing?
Many thanks

some older versions of task29 use a radio as the .nbh, so its possible you removed the required radio.
i would.....
forget about task29, its not necessary.
enter bootloader
confirm spl says 2.08.hspl and NOT 2.08.0000
flash 2.15.50 radio
back into bootloader
flash magldr (because it should come up automatically when the phone restarts, without requiring you to press anything, making it easier to tell its worked)
report back.

Thanks for your answer.
I did this yesterday, after installing magldr and auto boot the HD2 shows no Menu, only white screen and htc.
The HD2 shows 2.08 HSPL after booting with L- Button pressed so it shut be "open".
That´s the problem, i can´t get into the Loader Menu.
All the same clK or magldr.

only three reasons that magldr wouldnt show up...
1 - wrong radio - must be 2.xx.50 where xx is 07 or higher (2.15.50 keeps it simple)
2 - wrong hspl - must be 2.08.hspl
3 - faulty hardware.

...are you sure that there are only these 3 reasons?
Radio is 2.15.50.14,HSPL is right 2.08.HSPL and i can´t believe that the Hardware is faulty because Windows Mobile "Backflash" and the Phone is running without any fault.
I will download the Soft again (maybe i loaded "broken" Soft) and try to flash again (without task29 as you wrote)
I´ll be back in some minutes...

...soft download from xda...HSPL 2.08 installed,Radio from orig.ROM 2.15.50.14, with HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1 magldr installed...the same as I wrote...no Menu
any idea

Try a different version of MAGLDR/cLK. Your motherboard was replaced, and I have seen so many people with replaced motherboards having problems. It could be like what sam said, a hardware fault. (Technically for HTC, it isn't a hardware fault as long as it doesn't affect the phone's functionality under Windows Mobile)

there have been cases where winmo flashes and works fine, yet other things don't, perhaps magldr starts, but then always hangs at gogogo, or gives 1e fatal hit, , and the dreaded stuck radio has many variants, ranging from being fixable by flashing using the freezer trick, all the way through to nothing at all working ever, , so i could well believe there is a case where winmo would work but nothing else would.
why not try clk again? i believe there is a version of clk that can be flashed from sd card, , might take better than the usb version?

...I tried different Versions of magldr, clK 1.4 and clK1.5 allways the same Problem.
I can´t find clK Version to flash from SD. If you got it, send me a link and I try it.
it seems, that my HD2 only run WM6.5 and before "Murphy" comes and I flash my Phone in a "Paperweight" I stay on using WM6.5.
Thanks for the help.
Have a good time

Copy the .nbh file to a clean SD Card (make sure the SD Card is not too big - a less than 2GB card is sure shot), power up the phone with the vol down key pressed. All the best!

hello ph03n!x,
thanks for the link, I downloaded the file and put the leoimg.nbh to the same 2GB SD Card I used to flash back to WM6.5.
The Phone "said" succesfull done but after reboot, white screen and htc letters.
It will not run on my Phone...ok, back to WM65 again.
Thanks a lot,it was worth a try....I will try it again if there is any way...maybe in the future it is possible )

Hi,
if WinMob6.5 is runing, you can boot Android over WinMob... you only need a right partition on SD-card (see NativSD-thread see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31110691 ) , then install Android in the partition (rom-name must have NativeSD in thread-title like the pacman-rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32721010 ), boot WinMob and start Android via clrcad + haret (or with my "one-click-tool" see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33174747 ) ...
See the Wiki under WinMobile Installation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2/NativeSD
(great thanks to Szczepanik for the Wiki)... it looks complicated, but it's realy simple...
My pacman-rom runs great... (thanks XYLO)
Cheers

hello o82239,
I try to use your tip, unfortunately without any success,
after starting haret.exe and booting the HD2 shows 6 or 7 lines in very small letters and hang on this screen.

Hi,
I think, you should try it all again with a clean SD-card (you can clean all SD-card-partitions under Win7 with "diskpart" or under Linux with fdisk or other tools)... and post all your steps... we can take a look, if you have forgot one step or if you do something wrong...
Cheers

hello and thanks for your answers.
at first for o82239, I tried three different sd cards all are running perfect with WM6.5 (sandisk 32gb class 10, sandisk 8gb class 2,Medion 16gb class 4) formatet with "sdformater", and one partition FAT32 and the second EXT4 with mini tool partition wizard.
for wxl104 the problem is that i can´t get after point 3...clK is successfull installed,shows the pc but the HD2 shows after reboot white screen with green htc logo.
so the main question is:
why did the hd2 hang after rebooting on both "softwaresystems" (sd or nand installation)
i´m shure that i did both installs (many times) the way the "howto" is written or the install guide shows.

I can't be sure if you have done anything wrong.but just follow the right step,you can't go to CLK or MAGLDR menue.It mean you have done something wrong.you can install w6.5,so the phone driver is ok.But if you use the htc official rom.you can try to re-unclock your phone.And use hspl-2.08 .If also can't you drop your flashing tool,and redown it again.And then follow the right step,which you can serch it though this forum.
