Hi, I just spent an hour researching this, but to no avail. So....
I bought today an HD2 of CL and it had Android Gingerbread installed. I entered bootloader and say that it had HSPL 2.08 installed so I tried to install WM 6.5 Stock ROM 3.14. It started flashing but at 8% it froze. I let it sit for about half an hour and it did not do anything. I unplugged it and took out battery. After I restarted it it said that the last flash failed and to try again. I plugged it in and tried again, but after I start flashing the phone vibrates seven times and stops at 8% again. On teh side note it seems that the phone is not charging as the redlight does not come on when I plugged it in.
It seems that I cannot enter the bootloader anymore as when I start the phone it goes into the "Flashing failed..." screen.
I am not sure what to do at this point, so I thought I would check before I destroy the phone any further. Thank you for your advice and sorry if I did not research enough.
It looks as if you have been sold a broken 2nd hand device. The vibrates usally means there is something wrong with the motherboard or processor. It would return it and ask for your money back!
yea i agree with the above, get your money back if poss.
Also, sticking at 8% (or 9 or 10) is a hint that the radio is stuck. if you ever get an sd card flash to start, look out for 'radio rsa fail' error.

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help!
OK, first of all I'll admit quite openly that my knowledge of flashing and so on isn't what you'd call strong so any accusations of being a n00b are warranted and accepted.
I got my HD2 in Jan and I'd flashed a few handsets before without issue so flashed the HD2 pretty much straight away and played with some ROM's and so on and settled on one (from memory Dutty ROM) and everything was fine, the phone was stable and everything was good.
Then 2 weeks the handset started acting oddly. I hadn't changed anything (as far as I'm aware) but the phone starting freezing, restarting and so on. I'd have to take the battery out to restart it (and sometimes leaving the battery out for a while before it'd boot up.) When it froze the area around the bottom of the battery would also warm up. I'd also notice that if I tried doing something on the handset it would restart - almost as if I was putting to much "strain" on the handset and it went *bang*.
I decided to hard reset the phone and it went back to original form. Now, I'll again admit this is probably down to my lack of knowledge, I assumed this put the handset back to a factory state but this is probably not the case (it certainly looked like it but some signs suggested it hadn't).
This seemed to improve things a little but the problems just came back. As I'd flashed it and put on the HSPL I thought the warranty was now invalid so thought I'd try and "fix" it myself.
Big mistake.
Or was it?
I think the phone has an issue with power or something like that as it freezes as I've said. And it did this while I was trying to flash a ROM. Panic then set in.
Basically my handset is now in a state where it'll boot into the bootloader (power and Vol down) three colour splash screen and it'll do the white HTC "normal" boot up screen but nothing else.
I can connect to the handset via RUU and I can run:
Task 29
however this doesn't run and finish gracefully most of the time. It'll stick on 99% or 100% or sometimes it'll moan about not being able to do this on this handset.
Any ROM I now try to flash on it using the exe's or RUU (I've not tried them all, granted!) starts and stick at a certain percentage. The Artemis ROM sticks at 12%, Official 1.43 WWE ROM sticks at 0% and Leon ROM sticks at 9%. Eventually they'll time out with an error. Unfortunately I left the handset at work so cannot state which error(s) I get when trying to flash a ROM.
So, after boring the hell out of you, is the handset terminally ill in your opinion? I really do think that there could be a faulty power button/general power issue with the handset (just a feeling I've got) but from my brief reading I'm not 100% sure.
Is there anything I could do? At the moment it's completely unusable so any suggestions on getting it into a working state? Ideally I'd like to get it into a state where I could return it to O2 UK and not have them flag the fact it's been flashed.
Any help gratefully received!
can you get into bootloader? if so, check the spl.
if it is 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000 then the warranty is fine.
if the spl ends .hspl then connect to usb and run hspl 2.
choose whatever was your stock spl (one that ends 0000, 1.42.0000 most likely)
reboot to boot loader, and confirm the spl ends 0000 and you will be fine.
have same problem!
my hd2 freezed on startup screan, boot screan, sometime donot start - only black screan, after rom flash 99percent or 100percet once freezed when i return stock rom and spl,sometime dont want to boot with 1.42hspl, next time with 1.66, but my experinece is :
1.
-with 2.08hspl allways start
-uninstal your hd2 driver on your computer! restart your computer install after that, with windows update,
-same with bootloader mode, uninsta, driver on your computer,restart your comp, and install it
-turn off your antivirus protector when install any rom, and your run as administrator in windows 7,vista.
2. use other pc if this dont help
3. the problam can be with battery pins under cover.
some people write there with pins problem, they have screaved pins and hd2 dont want boot or start or have same problems
its my secondary problem
if u want u can use clasical gum ereaser and lightly clean pins and battery conectors...

Samsamuel, you're an utter *star*.
Now back to 1.42.0000. I can blag O2 now if needs be in regards to the handset (tried upgrading to 1.72, USB cable came out, phones shagged, give me a new one, etc) without them getting funny about it if needs be.
Will try upgrading to 1.72 stock O2 ROM and see what happens.
Thanks again Samsamuel, I owe you a pint!
I have the exact same problem.
The screen freezes for a while, and then the device reboots.
Usually it's stuck on the white (with green "HTC") screen after that, the red text doesn't show up.
If I remove the battery and leave the device alone for a while (cool down?) it boots past the white screen (although it's highly likely that it crashes again when I enter my pin).
At first this was only happening when I was watching some video's with coreplayer, but now it's just happening all the time, even when it's in my pocket.
I just finished flashing a stock rom, but it's even worse now
9 out of 10 times it doesn't even make it to the pin screen, and I have spend about 2 minutes total actually in windows mobile.
Brood, it sounds like your issue is hardware related, I would contact htc too look into getting it repaired.
Just an update from OP.
Thanks for the link ilijan, very interesting.
I spoke to O2 business tech support yesterday and deliberately asked whether anyone else was complaining of this issue. They said no but I'm unsure whether I believe them and whether this was just the corporate line.
After setting my SPL back to 1.42.0000 I tried flashing to 1.72 stock and this did work. Every other ROM I tried wouldn't work. Even with the official ROM it's still freezing/restarting.
Getting a refurb today.
Thanks to all that responded/helped. Appreciated.
Guys, i bought a htc surround on no contacts and shipped it to Pakistan. i used it for 2 days , no issue, then i kept it in my locker and i stated using my defy.
Somehow i decided again to use htc surround, as i opened the box i realized the i forgot to shutdown the phone so the battery is dead, i put it on charging, i was not recognizing the charging, then i kept the battery out for 2 hours, again inserted , this time the original charger was picked up and battery started charging. After full charge, i started the phone and kept doing the configurations, the phone started to shutdown automatically after 2-3 steps, i again restarted, but the problem kept going on.
Meanwhile i decided to flash and unbranded ROM on surround ( as i thought it may be a software issue and i am comfortable with phone flashing). I picked up the Ansar's Cingular unbranded ROM and started flashing as i have a AT&T Surround. It stuck at 98%, the RUU displays error 226 and phone comes back again at boot loader. Then i tried to flash official RUU, it stuck at 9% with error 276. I also tried
Ansar's branded ROM, it stuck and 11% with same error 276. I have tried this on 3 computer, windows 7, vista and xp respectively but same issue. Please help i am in a mess, since i cannot send it back.
Please suggest me any solution, even hardware based because i don't have any choice, what could have gone wrong, i personally have flashed lots of window 6.5 phones .
I suggest trying flashing on a different computer. This sounds like something more complicated, but try the small things first and work your way up. Keep us posted.
I've been using Android NAND for a while with no problems but the other day I struggled getting into bootloader. Eventually (for no obvious reason) it went in and I flashed the shipped rom. I tried bootloader again but no dice. Then I made the fatal error of flashing HSPL again only to get stuck on the O2 screen. I can't get any further.
I can't connect to the pc because it doesn't see anything and I can't get it onto bootloader to flash anything else. I've tried everything I can think of bar JTAG (which is out of my league) and I'm supposed to be sending it back to HTC tomorrow for a repair.
Question is, will HTC see HSPL installed without access to the bootloader and, if they do, will they tell me where to shove it?
..tried searching everywhere before starting a new thread...

How did you flash shipped if you couldn't get into bootloader?
You're doing vol-down and power on right? If you get a splash you should be able to get into bootloader, because SOMETHING is telling your splash to show up.
Try putting the correct shipped on your SD and power up with vol down.
I think they will be able to tell that you modified it.
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it again with the sd card. The only thing I can think is that the battery died on me almost as soon as I tried the sd card shipped rom. I saw the bootloader for a second and then the phone went off. When I charged it back up, no bootloader...
The problem is I've tried so many things, I'm struggling remembering the exact order of my screw up. I have a feeling after the battery died and I couldn't get it into bootloader, HSPL was working and I flashed the stock rom using USB flash.

Well, I've seen lots of warnings about having your battery greater than 50% while flashing, which (obviously) means that if your device has run out of juice while flashing could lead to unrepairable (by end-user) issues .
Try orangekid's advice and report back.

when flashing from SD, SPL and radio are the first 2 things it flashes afaik, so power out right when you started flashing could be a serious issue.
Hopefully what I said above works though, if your SPL is completely fubar I have no idea what HTC will say, what I would tell them if you try to RMA is you had problems with random reboots and did a hard-reset, then when it started flashing it just turned off for no reason and now it's weird or something like that so they think it was a regular stock hard reset thing and not a "oh **** I have to restore to factory cuz I have HSPL on here" thing.
Ok, so I tried about 10 more times with no joy - at least it's consistently broken now.
Thanks guys, just hoping for an 11th hour rescue. I'll send it off tomorrow and report back the outcome with HTC. I appreciate your help. I knew the lack of charge and flashing via bootloader was going to trip me up one day.
Was HTC able to bring the phone back to its original state or were you able to do something to get the issue fixed? I have the same problem. All I did was to load prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 ROM (this ROM is the same as Cotulla's but with few fixes). This was the first time I ever attempted loading an Android ROM on to my HD2. All looked well initially. The phone was rebooted after ROM was installed. I did intial setup like facebook acct, email, wi-fi, gprs, etc. Then after few hours, the menu button (windows button in HD2) and back button quit working. Even the power button when pressed for few seconds wouldn't bring up the power off and other options. I thought a soft reset would fix it and then I pulled the battery off and restarted. All I now get is the first boot screen with "123456...go.go.go..." and then a white screen with HTC on it. Nothing more. It is stuck there. I tried getting in to bootloader, but I couldn't. Holding down the volume-down and then pressing the power button just restarts the phone as mentioned above and takes me to the HTC screen. Not sure how can I get to the bootloader. Desperately looking for help....
ANybody can help me . i have a HD2 When tried to FLASH to any RADIO from 2.07 to 2.15 all failed at 96%. I have made a TASK29 also it fails at 96%. NOW cant install anything on it !
At first 2.15 flashed and after i made task29 it stop to install. Then i used 2.07 it flash, but again i used TASK29 and now when i retry to reinstall any RADIO, it fails at 96%.
Am using tasks29 because my HD2 is stuck in LOGO HTC. So am trying many ROM file for it to WORK but in VAIN !! I still can enter BOOTLOADER. Manage to install MAGLDR and WIN7 but never the phone was OK!
I was wondering if its a HARDWARE problem?
It usually takes a long time at 96%. Try leaving it for a while and see if it will complete. Mine took some time at 95%

Yep, mine hangs at 96% too. Maybe try this Task29 with Radio (check it's the right radio though)...

If you can get into BL dont worry you'll be able to flash. Just try everything again and give loader a moment.
Ok. I waited almost 30Mins ! is that ENOUGH?
But i Found that If i flash with this ROM (that has RADIO in it) - " Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21907.5.0.93_1.80_ML_V4_Ship_EN " flash succESSfully but still i have the PROblEM of STUCK on HTC logo !
Again failed at 96%
Hello,
has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
I am having the same issue - radio and rom flash fails at 96%, I have tried even older radios and different roms with radio. Tried with HSPL 3.03 and 2.08.
When flashing from USB it always stops at 96% at hangs for 15mins then says fail.
If flashing from SD card then it just hangs indefinetely.
only the Duttys_Leo_Sense finishes flashes but the phone wont boot
Download this, flash it and and start from scratch. something went wrong along the way..but start from scratch and go again.
If you have trouble once you download. restart the phone holding the the power and volume down buttons. and you will get into bootloader..then connect phone and wait until it says usb and flash.

I have not looked to see if it is for the US or EU HD2. But seeing as you have a EU HD2 you have nothing to fear really as the EU can be flashed with any radio version with no bad effects. But the US HD2 can not be flashed with any radio version with a 51 in it or it will be hard bricked. The 51 radio versions were the first radio versions for the EU HD2.
also, try chillign teh phone for twenty mins in teh freezer, then quickly reinsert the sd and try to flash. It may help you get past the last few %
Unfortunately it didnt end well
HTC HD ROM update from USB stalled at 8% for more than 30mins.
Then I tried updating it from SD card when it failed instantly reverting to factory SPL.
And then I tried to use HSPL4 to put: SPL-208 instead of HSPL208. Phone said cracked it and after that it died.
Its completely bricked now, cannot turn it on - no key lights, no lcd
odd, these devices are very difficult to brick since if you mess up, just go into bootloader mode and reflash.

ahhh if only it was that simple. Check out the title of this thread, what you're suggesting is exactly what is failing. Look around, teh forum is stuffed full of this type of error. Sometimes it is solvable, sometimes not.
Hello, sorry for saying this but there is no solution to fix that. I had the same problem on friends HD2. It died with no reason, just rebooted. All you wrote is the same there, if you use newer radio stuck on 96%, older stuck in 97%. HSPL working ok, leoimg.nbh stuck on 8% and you getting ROM Update fail all times. That is hardware issuse and Radio ROM chip is damaged. We did not found any solution to fix that and even tryed xtc clip and all methods of instalation...
can u try flash HSPL first then the radio and then MGLDR...my problem is solve..
Hi.
I bought Hd2 yesterday, and I have a biiiig problem with it. It started perfectly - but after 5 min it shut down. It shows message about low battery, so I connected it into charger, orange led turned on. I tried to switch telephone on, but it freezes on white screen with HTC written. I tried soft-resets and hard-resets, even tried to install official rom - but installer is always freezing at 8%. I can get into BootLoader and phone is recognized by the PC after connecting USB cable. But this is all - i can't switch phone on, I can't install ROM...
What is wrong? Is it gonna work, or maybe it is totally bricked?
Radio flash stuck @ 96%
This seems to be the kiss of death for an HD2. I also have the same symptoms: stuck at 96% when trying to flash a radio. I have a US HD2 and I've flashed about 10 of these phones with no issues. This is the first one I've ever seen with this issue though. It was a friends phone that he wanted me to assemble. He gave it to me in pieces. When I assembled it, it wouldn't boot. So I flashed the stock ROM, but the flash won't complete. Fails at 8% or 11%. Tried flashing HSPL and it seems to work. But when trying to flash the radio it fails at 96% (it just hangs).
I was wondering if it has bad sectors on the partition or someting and if a J-tag service could fix this. Theoretically, it's supposed to be fixable if you can get into the bootloader. Oh well, into the junk box this HD2 motherboard goes until someone posts a fix.
I got the same problem can't not flash anything, and alway stucked at 96%.
Only thing I did to get it complete flashing radio, rom was put the phone in zip lock, and put in freezer for 10mins, took it out and plug in battery and flashing, at anytime, if the phone vibrating it will not accepting any data in, and it will stop at 96% and then i have to put in freezer again. Took me awhile to get everything boot up and got in windows 7 and play with it. But... the phone still rebooting it self, sometimes it will reboot after 5 mins or an hr when I am surfing webs or setting up the phone... Right now I am trying to get a different sim card to test out.
Seem more like hardware problem.
My problem is solved - I've got new motherboard....
NAND Toolkit
Have you guys tried to use NAND Toolkit?! it works fine for me, and never had issues flashing my HD2...
Ok so I mean I wanna say i'm proud of myself for getting as far as I did. I had a HD2 running on a NRG Energize rom. The touch screen was unresponsive so I got that fixed at a repair shop. Then it was having a problem booting and kept going thru this boot loop showing me NRG Energize over n over. I tried to run the t-mobile upgrade to the 3.14 but it got stuck at 8% and wouldn't go passed that. I ended up doing the extraction thing when u rename the nbh file to leoimg and got the phone to run the upgrade from that. I thought all my problems would be solved but the phone started up and as i was setting up my e-mail and stuff it froze and restarted. now its stuck on this stick together boot loop... I don't know what to do next, all i'm trying to do i get this phone working even if its at a stock capacity. Any thoughts i should do now?
So what i'm getting from searching the forums so far is that when i get back to the phone i should check the battery pins? can anyone confirm this? Cause the phone starts up but it'll freeze and reboot or just hit the bootloop from the time i turn it on. keeps stopping.
Yea battery pins should be the first check.
