HD2 owner noob in need of help :| - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi there.
In my wisdom I let a friend of mine convince me that he was the pro at "flashing roms on my HD2". To be honest, i have no clue what he was talking about but it sounded good at the time. My problem is I now own a phone that has some serious issues that I have tried fixing myself to no avail, hence me posting on these forums.
From what I have read throughout the forum I have a feeling he used the NAND method . I have attempted to fix it but nothing seems to work.
I then tried the sd method and still no luck. I took some pics of what the screen shows and hopefully someone reads this and thinks, omg this chick is completely clueless and has some idea as to how I can fix it .
I have screenshots of the issues I'm having but cant post them. Maybe I could pm them or email them if anyone is willing to help me
I realize how stupid and idiotic I sound but I'm fairly desperate to get it fixed.
Hayley.

If you're allowed to post links, upload your pics to any file server and put in here the address. Or try to send me the files via PM.
Good luck!

Explain what is the issue in detail.
There is always a fix.don't worry.

Basically i'm unable to load any sort of rom onto my phone, after following numerous amounts of instruction guides etc.
The phone will load the 12345, go go go, screen, it also says it's booting from Android NAND; it then will get to an Android logo and freeze. I'm able to get into the boot menu and bootloader but can't seem to wipe the old rom off to put a new one on.
I've pretty much exhausted my options, as the guy who originally thought he was amazing at this and has done it all the time, now has no clue why it's doing this. Last time i trust someone with my phone! Haha

Have you tried to use the HD2 Toolkit to do a full wipe of the phone with Task 29? Flash Magldr, Repartition the phone to whatever the ROM you're flashing specifies.

Hey have you figure it out?

Okay, I think that there is a problem with the ROM he chose. If he picked a rom that's too big it won't boot up.
I'd try to hold down the power button, see if you can get into the MAGLDR menu.
If you can then scroll down with the volume keys and go to AD Recovery.
Clockworkmod recovery should load.
From there I would download a new ROM, HyperDroid or any CM7 based ROM are good options.
Mount the USB storage, transfer the ROM to the root of the SD card, flash zip from SD, choose the rom and flash.
I think that is the best steps to take and if it doesn't work then you should Task29 and reflash everything.
Best of luck to you

Any ROMs in particular you would recommend? I'm sort of clueless as to what is good as he's sort of left me hanging as to what programs i need and what i should and shouldnt be doing, so irritating haha.

Are you flashing roms using ad recovery option in magldr ?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Trying to, I tried one last night, and it just kept telling me the installation was aborted.
Getting very close to giving up, nothing I seem to be doing is working, not entirely sure if what I'm doing is right though. Having no experience of doing this obviously makes the situation incredibly difficult, I really appreciate all your time and effort with helping me though.

Okay, I think we should task 29 the phone and reinstall MAGLDR and CWM.
I know how frustrating it can be, when I first tried to root and flash my old phone, it took me 3 days of work to figure it out haha.
Okay, here's the thread for Task29, go to bottom of the first post and download the tool.
Plug your phone into your computer, and enter the bootloader by holding volume down and pressing power. Remove your SD Card and SIM card before doing this.
Ensure that it says usb at the bottom.
Go on your computer and find the .exe you downloaded.
If you're on Vista or 7, right click and hit "run as administrator".
Follow the steps on the program.
Your phone should go into a black HTC screen with a loading bar.
It should take a few seconds to finish.
Task29 essentially restores everything to factory with no ROM or anything.
After you've done this we can reflash MAGLDR and CWM.
Here's a video just in case you need some additional support with it:

You probably dont have clock work mod... Flash a higher partition cwm recovery... It will work... Pm me if need help.... Theres nothing major going on in your phone... We can get ot fix

Thanks so much guys, will have a go and get back to you as soon as possible Much appreciated
I'm trying to use task29 currently, but it's just sitting on 0% and won't move. It's been like this for a while now?
Should i just continue to leave it?
Edit: Just received Error 262? Unsure what to do

So this is the reason you could not get android running on your phone. U have stock spl...but you need HSPL!

Okay, so how do I fix this!

The best way I think is to went back to stock rom by flashing latest stock rom via sd card. Then install HSPL and if this was successful you can go back to MADLDR 1.13 and flash an NAND android.
Do you have an HD2 EU (only white hard buttons)?

best way
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.
U can get a official ROM from the HTC website, make sure u DONT get the newest, but the 1.66 ROM version.
Extract the *.exe to your desktop using WINRAR and u will have a .nbh file in there.
Have fun!

Before I put in my two cents.. A word of advice.. Do not write in Caps.. its as if you are yelling at the person reading..
Now to your problem..
I would suggest..
Do a HSPL to a higher version (Would also advice Task 29 format refer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781)
Install a ROM. and let it boot on its own. Do not press the power button as you mentioned you did..
Let us know..
open active sync (not connected) go to the connections and disable usb connections
put phone in bootloader mode
connect phone to pc phone should say serial then change to usb once connected
if so go ahead use task 29 or mtty then flash a new ROM and a compatible radio
oh yes loose the caps lock matey, and dont leave it 5 mins before replying to you're own post
Hello every one again.First of all I would like to apolojize for writing in capital letters. I didd not know that it was a bad thing to writ in caps. I thought that it would be easier for u guys to read letters since its written in BIG letters. I hope you guys will forgive me =/. Thank you very much for replying and i will try all those methods that you guys have mentioned and i will reply the results as soon as i finish.
Thank you very much again.
could u guys also give me a download link of a good rom. i cant decide which rom to download for me. thank you very much all.

not strictly true, not all radios work with all roms (should you decide to flash a custom rom)
Allways check whcih roms are/are not compatible.

Phone stuck at white screen with HTC

Hi there,
I really need help!
I wanted to flash my phone with a nbh file, but I could not enter my bootloader.
I had installed HSPL3.
Now someone told me to use Flashaholic ROM update utility.
I did this, and a black screen with a % indicator appeared, not too long, it restarted, and went into a white screen with htc in the middle.
Restarting with volume down button pushed doesnt bring me into bootloader.
What can I do now?
I really need help!
Unfortunately, if you can't get your HD2 to boot into the bootloader, there's not much to be done.
Are you sure you had HSPL installed? Because from what I have heard, HSPL is there to always allow you to use it for flashing stuff, regardless of the integrity of other software parts such as the radio or the ROM, so reaching the bootloader should not be a problem for anyone.
Can you connect it to your PC via USB? If you manage to get a connection, you might just have a chance to flash another radio/ROM.

I installed HSPL3, and it said it was succesfull so...
After that I installed a custom rom with an utility that came with it (Dutty's)
So far I know, I cannot get any connection, but I try to download a stock rom (an utility exe) from HTC.com.
But I think this won't work right? because you have to sync.
You could try and flash a stock ROM via the SD Card, see if that works. There are some instructions here on XDA in the ROM Development section, check it out there.
Basically, once you have downloaded an official ROM from htc.com, extract it as if it were an archive and get the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Then take your SD Card, format it to FAT32, place the LEOIMG.nbh on the card and put it in your phone. While holding down the volume down button, boot the phone and a white Loading... screen should appear and the flashing process should begin.
I`m afraid this won't work either, as the bootloader is supposed to show up in order for you to be able to flash anything, but it's better than doing nothing, so...

Hi, if I remember correctly, you already said in the Artemis-thread, that the VOL DOWN button is broken. If this is the case, I fear there is not much you can do...
Have the same problem too.
I've installed a few roms with no worries, tried one about an hour ago that performs a Task 29 and i'm also now stuck at the white HTC screen...
it says the task29 was succesfull and then got stuck on the white HTC screen and the rom failed to load as the laptop did not detect a usb connection...
I've downloaded a stock rom and put it on the SD card named LEOIMG.nbh and tried pressing the vol down button, the Red,green,blue,white screen appears i can see
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL 2.08.Hspl 8g XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Then "serial" at the bottom or if i have the phone connected to the pc then "USB" appears.
If i hold both buttons and perform a Hard reset the phone asks to press Vol up button then says restored really quickly then freezes at the white HTC screen..
Any suggestions
Cheers
Actually got it sorted now, the rom had the Flashaholic utility built in which i haven't used before.
As we speak the rom is now installing phew (stop sweating now)...
Thought i had bricked it...

It's not broken, it just worked before I did the task29.
The phone is empty, and has no bootloader, and no ROM.

task29 DELETES the ROM. You NEED to install a ROM. A Radio-ROM should be installed automatically with task29. If this isn't the case, you need to install a Radio-ROM too. You can either install the HTC ROM or you can install a custom ROM like forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
Suggestion: Enter bootloader -> connect USB -> install ROM with CustomRUU

Well im not able to.
I did a HSPL before then I putted a custom ROM Dutty's on the device.
After that I putten a Stock ROM on it again, and then I used Flashaholic, and after task29 it got stuck.
Well no bootloader means no HSPL which is good news for your warranty coverage..
Just go to HTC service and play dumb " uhm i was playing around websites with a flash game and uhm my phone uhm rebooted and is like stuck ever since in uhm HTC logo"
Now if the case for not being able to load the bootloader is a broken volumedown button, yeah ur pretty screwed, prepare to dive in ur wallet.
Were do you live? If you need help and there's one living nereby maybe we can help (p.e. a full battery) I live in the eastern part of the Netherlands (Overijssel) PM me if you can come.
On the Kaiser (my previous phone) I also had a problem I couldn't enter the bootloader anymore, but I can't remember why or what I did to recover it.
- If it was an allmost empty battery and recharged it?
- If I have used a special tool to connect?
I really can't remember.
If I read your story, I think you have loaded a corrupted NBH thru SDCard method, otherwise i think you cannot wipe your bootloader. Task29 only wipes the ROM area not the bootloader.
Have you tried to contact Bepe or Cotulla, cause i think they know everything about (H)SPL.
Otherwise you can start building a new house (you've got your first brick )
have you checked you battery connections, the middle one is notorious for getting bent out of shape at which point the battery will not charge and you can't flash you ROM.

[Q] HELP!!! I might have bricked this phone trying to flash a stock rom via SD

Hi all,
I would really appreciate if someone can help me reverse this process. I have an HD2 that i need to restore it back to factory ROM/condition and return it to US T-Mobile. I previously have WP7 on nand, Android on SD, Radio 2.15, with Mgldr 1.13 with HSPL 3.
I followed the procedure for flashing through SD as it will remove the HSPL. So i downloaded the ROM from TmoUS website, renamed the file to LEOIMG.nbh, and put it on a 4gb class 2 (FAT32) card. Enter bootloader mode by holding down volume/power button. Then it said loading and ask if I want to write over the image, select yes ... then it start the process. Though, half way through i receive the error message! Now when i turn the phone on i can't get past the bootloader mode. Just the error message even when I try to flash again via SD (the process doesnt even start - just said "loading" then "not allow" error message). When i get it plugged in to flash via desktop, the device is not recognized by the update utility. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong .. but any help or tips to reverse this process is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!!
What does it say in bootloader now?
If i just power it on I get the blank screen that said "error installing rom" with the triangle and the exclamation mark in the middle. If I boot into bootloader mode it will first get to the screen where it said "loading" then shortly it will say "error" and "not allow" then take me back to the bootloader mode. though, I noticed that the SPL is now 3.03 instead of 2.08 .. but other than that, I couldnt find a way to flash it by SD or USB. Any suggestion on this? Thanks for your help Macgnolia!
Sounds like it flashed the correct SPL and may be failing on the ROM flash, it sounds like it may be flashing the correct radio too.
What I would do is keep your phone completely off for about 3 hours, then turn it back on into bootloader, then try the flash again.
It might have some random overheat thing going on or something. Since you're back to stock SPL, go ahead and flash via RUU instead of SD and see if that does anything, it should let you since it's a stock ROM you're flashing.
Yeah I am with Orangekid here it might help to let your HD2 rest for a while so the internal temp is reduced as it my be some kind of freak heat issue right now. The HD2 hates heat incase you did not know this. I would still like to know what the top line of your bootloader says so we will know if you have the right device I.D. and that you are not one of the unlucky people to get a their device I.D. mysteriously screwed up by a stock ROM flash.
I'm at work and can't really play with it but definitely I will try it again jz to see if its the heat issue. Also, you think it could be the issue with the card by any chance? I was reading on flashing with SD and there were some conflicting opinions about the class and format for SD. And this is my wifes hd2 .. she'll probably freak out .. hehehe ... Thanks guys '-)

card shouldn't matter as long as it's 8gb or less from my experience. Once it's off for a few hours just try to reflash stock via RUU and see what happens.
And yeah, go ahead and load up bootloader first to see what the top line says.
I just tested it again .. same problem! at the top right corner it says "RUUNBH" then the series of lines in the red portion of the screen as follows:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
and if I just power it on it goes to the error message .. then "loading" screen .. then "error" .. then "not allow" .. then back to bootloader mode but the third line now say MicroP-Wrong Platform (0x0)
any suggestion guys??
I thought it might have been that the download rom was corrupted .. went to tmo and download another one .. I tried to flash again .. get from bootloader mode .. then to loading mode .. and just stuck there ..

Have you try with different micro sd card?
battery pin check, whether it is bent.
Battery capacity should at least 50%
Did you rename the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh?
When you transfer it to sd card, did you using card reader?
Anything is possible. Please take a look of the above check list
I'd be tempted to try a full change of spl, use hspl4 to drop spl from 3.03.0000 down to 2.08.0000 or 2.10.0000, then try first the 2.13 rom and then the 3.14 rom over USB again.

Done!! THANK YOU!!!!!
For some odd reasons, my laptop (win7 ultimate) always seems to have connection issues even with chevron for wp7. I plugged it in to my wife's laptop (vista ultimate) and it connects. I was reading your comment on a similar issue in another thread and along with your suggestion here .. I figured it must be HSPL issue. I first used HSPL4 to reinstall 2.08 and immediately mgldr popped up. Then i flash the Tmo stock ROM over it. Then use HSPL4 to flash over (twice) with 3.03 (the one without the HSPL).
It took away the Energy boot screen, now I'm on 3.14 with 2.15 radio. I checked bootloader and it saids the following:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
Which is a problem because I checked on the refurbished device they sent and it has SPL 2.10. And so, I put HSPL 3.03 back on there to flash via SD again. Now i run into the same problem I orginally did .. about 20% into the update process and it stops and said update error. Could this be something obvious that I'm doing wrong? and also is there a way to get spl 2.10 without SD flash??
Thanks bud
Edit: I did it again a couple times via SD and it worked! I checked bootloader and it said spl 2.10 so I guess everything is back to stock now. I guess I'm gonna throw it back in the box and send it off. Thank you everyone for the fast reply and for all the help on this issue ... you guys are awesome! Thanks

[Q] Help! Spoiled hd2. Cannot do anything at all.

I have a 512mb hd2 and today, when i reboot my phone, magldr shows fatal hit 1 and it wont boot into android or enter cwm.
Therefore, i did a task29 and flashed a stock winmo rom using usb cable. However it wont boot into winmo. It shows the htc logo and it stucks there. Sometimes it show htc logo with rgb at the bottom and it will stuck there. I never get into winmo.
Then i tried flashing the stock winmo rom using the sd card method. However, when the phone say that the process is finished, i plugged out the battery. i didnt know that i have to press the red button.
Now, the phone will only boot into the tri coloured screen and the screen shows this:
e??????u HX-BC
(upside down "e" followed by some unknown and indescribable characters followed by a "u")
SPL-142.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
I cannot do anything else. I can't flash anything at all. It will end up in an error.
When i try to flash stock winmo rom using sd card, it will say loading... , then it will say checking... then this red numbers: 0058002 will appear on top then it will go back to the tri coloured screen again.
When can i do?
corrupted modelID, (the e??????u HX-BC bit)
I think JTAG is the only way out, and i've not actually seen hard confirmation that JTAG will fix it. there certainly isn't any flashing solution that i've seen, and we've seen this problem a fair few times.
Unlucky. Got warranty?
yes, its still under warranty. Would the warranty be void?

Hi,
Unless you can flash an original WM ROM,warranty will be void.
You need to revert back to orginal... HSPL is a hack and your warranty is void.
Go to HTC site>support>download>ROM upgrade and choose appropriate ROM upgrade for your phone
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.exe
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less
and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button)
follow the instructions from there
That way you will have your original software with SPL restored and ready to send it for repair
No need for PC drivers etc.
Don't panic, faced this situation before.. create a goldcard .. follow this thread
Really? Goldcard ignores modelid? You sure? Cos that would imply that you could use a hd2 Goldcard to flash any winmo rom to any winmo phone, which you can't. I'll be interested in anyone confirming absolutely that a phone with a corrupted modelid in bootloader can be flashed from Goldcard.
@op. Yes warranty is valid If your boooader shows a valid spl, ending 0000,because you tell them you woke up and it was on the charger, hot, and in bootloader, screen on, that top line looks wrong, you tried to flash the stock rom but it fails. So long as the spl is good is usually enough for warranty.
Yes with goldcard you can put any HD2 rom on any HD2 phone, debrand .. make it chinese or whatever.
And that's my slightly sarcastic point,,,,, if the modelid is corrupt the Goldcard won't recognise it as a hd2.

I saw on the bottom Mr Samsamuel is here, he point me a lot of help to revive my HD two days ago, now my hd2 is up and running. First you failed with MAGLDR, and you did to revive with stock rom. what stock rom did u use. More info will help many hd2 guru here
I believed before you flash anything (as I understood from own experience) flash HSPL, do task29, flash Radio. Just try and let us know. alert : do not do this on Virtual Machine
I have step by step edited copy tutorial to install cLK on hd2, it also can be use to revive brick hd2 (at some level of brick) PM me I will send by email
let us have coffee
the stock rom I use is hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
but the problem is I can't do anything with my phone at all. i can't flash hspl or any rom at all...
Buy anyways i have gotten my phone back from htc and now its working. i am now afraid of installing magldr as i fear the same problem (fatal hit 1) will happen again.
I am now considering the old sd card method of running android.... (i think this is safer)
Not sure if clk would have a similar error or something... i have not try it before.
I have googled the magldr fatal hit 1 error and quite a few people have this problem but i can't seem to find a real solution to it. I remember reading somewhere that someone say it is caused by many bad blocks on nand due to excessive flashing. (not sure what this means and how to deal with it)
Since got back ur live hd2. It will no fun anymore. No singgle software 100% safe or bug free. Clk is almost same with MAG both are boatloader. Your bootloader from htc also not bug free.
Running os from sd card is slow. Its same as ur pc booting from live cd/usbstick or external hdd. That for emergency only, rescuing fail software etc. Just do everything carefully read all instruction asking forum and google. You will safe and have a lot of fun

I really appreciate this, I was trying to restore a friends phone to stock so she could send it in to T-Mobile and had some issues. After I flashed using the stock .exe (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship) it got stuck at the three color bootloader screen. Would this .nbh solve this issue as well? Or does it have something to do with the SPL?
It might solve it, try and flash it

Hello,
Thank you for this thread! I've been looking for this rom!
But I need help, I was hoping you could give me some insight on my situation.
I'm trying to restore my phone to send it back to t-mobile. So I downloaded the file and it says LEOIMG.nbh and it's on my downloads. So I copied it to the root(main part) of my SD card. My SD card is the one that came with my HD2, and I used it to install the gingerbread rom in the first place.
Anywho, After that I go back to MGLDR and click on 8. AD Recovery. Then it loads clockworkmod recovery and from there I press install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card, and when I do that I see my sd card but I don't see the LEOIMG.nbh file there :/
I don't know what step I messed up on, maybe i'm completely way off.
But if someone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again..
AD is android, this is windows, you need to select windows flasher. This is not an android flashable zip file.
You need to flash this for windows. not android.
You have to do like I stated in the op, turn off the phone. Hold volume down key while turning it on. Then flash

Hello again,
Okay I just tried holding the volume key down while turning on and it goes to the REDGREENBLUEWHITE screen.
It says
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
I tried doing this many times, I tried doing it holding it down for a while, as well as holding it down til the screen comes up and then letting go.
Nothing works . It just takes it to that screen and that's it. Nothing else.
Could you please explain what I should do next? Thank you very much.. Sorry for your time..
Thank you for this..

Your SD card must be 8gb or less. You using a 16?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yes does that really make a difference? Even though I emptied out my memory card? It's the only one I have but I can probably get another.
But anywho,
What should happen once I use a smaller memory card and hold down power and volume down? What will it say?
Thank you. If I ever need it, I will have it.

It won't flash it unless you use an 8gb or smaller.
It will ask you if you want to flash the ROM...
Did you get it to flash?
I was running into the same issue while trying to flash. I tried it with my 32GB card, then the original 16GB card that it came with, then with an 8GB card I had lying around. I noticed each time that it would show the REDGREENBLUEWHITE screen, then briefly flash 'Loading...' then go back to the RGBW screen. While trying it with the 8GB card, I let go of the VolDown button at the brief 'Loading' screen and then it went into the flash utility, and I noticed that the VolDown button on that screen also cancels the flash process.
Are you seeing the Loading screen? If so, let go of the VolDown button then.
Nvm... I fixed my issue.
I followed your steps, then used this website for flashing info.

So, I'm also having a problem with this.
I'm using a 2gb card to try to do this.
I get to the tri-color bootloader screen and it just says serial at the bottom and just stops there.
As someone mentioned above, to let go of the volume down button when you get to the loading screen...it doesnt show a loading screen.
Anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Or any other suggestions.
Thanks

Let go of the vol-down button as soon as you turn on the device and start to see the tri-color screen, THEN it should say "loading"
Make sure the file is called LEOIMG.NBH and make sure it's on the root of your SD
Make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32

I've done all of those things, and I just reformatted the card and tried again.
Basically what happens, is the tri-color screen comes on and then the screen flashes and the tri-color screen comes on again and just says Serial at the bottom and it does nothing after that.
