Flash your stock rom using sd method.
1) Download stock WM6.5 ROM here
2) copy downloaded "LEOIMG.nbh" to the ROOT of your sd card (just on your sd card, not in one folder)
3) turn phone off, hold volume-down and start your phone
4) the HD2 should recognice the LEOIMG.nbh automatically and flash the stock wm6.5 ROM with original radio ROM (i think).
5) after its done, delete the LEOIMG.nbh on your sd card and follow step 3 again. make sure that you have "SPL blahblah" and not "HSPL 2.08" (or whatever).
optional 6) turn phone off, hold volume up AND down, start your phone to hard-reset it.
should be all you have to do. maybe check your radio rom if its the right one.
Unfortunately I don't have a stock ROM. The person who.did my original switch to android dent save one. Is there a place I can download a ROM that is stock?

Go to htc.com and using your device's serial number download a rom
Thanks Marv, will I be able to to that with the SD card method? I can't get into bootloader holding the volume button.

Wait for pReXx or other experienced member, I know nothing about sd flash or not being able to go into bootloader, I only knew how to get a stock ROM .
[Size=-7](P.S. I thanked those who have helped you, next time you do it )[/size]
Quick note about post 3,,, if you have a tmous BEWARE of downloading random. Nbh files,,,, if that link is to a non tmous stock rom and you flash it, the phone will be bricked.

Yes, but you have to rename the downloaded file from .exe to .zip .. then unzip it, locate the .nbh file, extract it then rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and proceed.
@sam he's downloading off htc.com, could they provide an incompatible radio (in a rom) ?

Absolutely. Until very recently, when a tmous download page arrived on HTC.com, EVERY rom on the htc site would brick a tmous.
Every non tmous stock rom, whether generic unbranded or operator branded, will brick a tmous because of the radio it includes. They all contain x.xx.51.xx radios whilst tmous roms ALL contain x.xx.50.xx, and a few minutes reading will tell you that ANY ..51.. radio will instantly kill a tmous. Unfixable without JTAG or new mainboard.
The only exceptions to the 51/50 rule are radios 2.04.50 (included in the UK O2 1,43 rom, for example), 2.05.50 (and i think 2.06.50) which, although they are ..50.. radios, are actually regular hd2 radios and will still brick a tmous.
As for the 2.15.50 radio that comes with ver 3.14 roms, that radio wont brick a tmous, but the regular 3.14 rom will not boot on a tmous, it will hang at the splash.
The regular hd2, on teh other hand can take any hd2 radio, 50 or 51, plus the tmous roms will boot fine on a regular hd2.

no, you need to be able to enter bootloader to start a flash.

I tried a few cooked roms and I like some things about them and others I dont, so I was going to flash my phone back to stock and if there are any upgrades/updates I would like to do so also.... Please advise me, should I do this why or why not... and How can I go about doing this ? (Would I just use hspl2 1024 and reinstall 2.08 first, then install the latest stock rom ? -but where can I find the latest official stock rom?-can I get it from htc? )....
thanks in adavance...
If you have already run hspl2 there is no need to do it again. All you need to do is download the shipped rom (available here and at ppcgeeks.com) and flash it. There haven't been any updates for the stock rom as of yet. Your personal choice on if you want custom rom or stock. Custom roms usually have less bloatware and performance enhancements that make them ideal over the stock rom.

I installed hspl 2.08.0000 and flashed a custom rom, then I tried to flashed a vodafone Uk shipped Rom and now my Hd2 won't even boot up, when I connect it to the usb windows xp sees the device and tries to install a driver but then fails to find a driver. I cant even use mtty because usb is not listed as one of the selections. does anyone know how to help Please
Could be because you flashed a shipped rom that is for a different device. The european HD2 is different than the US HD2. If you have a US HD2 flash a rom that is designed for 1024 Leo (recommend Miri and Steve's Eleganicia). Put the phone in bootloader and then flash from pc or you can rename the .nbh from a rom to LEOIMG.nbh and place that in the root of your storage card to flash. Can get to bootloader by holding volume down and pressing the reset button under the back cover, holding vol key til tri-colored screen appears.
it wont let me get into bootloader mode, my computer does see the hd2 but wont let me access the usb
Maybe someone else can chime to correct me if im wrong but sounds like you now have one expensive paper weight. Flashing a rom that is not for your phone is not good.
Flashing a Euro Rom on your TmoUS HD2 will brick your phone - for good. Why are so many people doing this?
tmo are sure to get wise to this and stop replacing them at this rate. I've seen 6 or 7 people with the same problem in two days.
Guys with a tmous,
1 - DONT flash any stock roms except the one from tmous. Stock roms include a radio and it will kill your phone.
2 - DONT flash any radio with a .51. in the version. It will kill your phone.
3 - dont flash any cooked rom not based on the 2.10 rom. It will kill your phone. (i think, , , possibly recoverable, not sure yet)
4 - most of all read first, flash later.
OK PLEASE do not hijack the topic,
Remember I asked how can I reset my phone back to completely stock (like when I first bought it).... and then after that I would like to update it (if there are any updates)....
Thanks for all the advice so far...

2 ways.
1 - connect phone via USB, run hspl1024, choose spl 2.08.0000, thats your spl back to stock. Then flash the tmous 2.1 rom over usb, thats your radio and rom returned to stock.
2 - you can get the tmous 2.1 rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sd card, rename it leoimg.nbh and reset your phone, which will see the nbh file and flash it, and because it is from sd card it will also reset the spl (and radio) to stock.
i'd go for option 1, as i haven't read much about people flashing sd card on the tmous, so for now steer clear.

it's the spl that voids the warranty, not the rom. when you boot to bootloader, so long as it says

tmo uk - get your stock rom from 'leo official roms thread' first post first link
either:-
1 - right click the stock rom .exe, choose extract here. This will give several files, one of which is ruu_signed.nbh.
2 - rename ruu_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and copy to fat32 sd card
3 - power off, power on with vol down pressed to enter bootloader, which will automatically detect the leoimg and flash the phone, resetting the rom, the radio and the spl back to stock.
Job done
OR
1 - run the stock .exe file over usb, which will reset the rom and the radio back to stock
2 - run hspl2 on the PC and choose 1.42.0000. This is the stock spl.

thx it worked but after reinstalling the stock rom it comes again to what happend first.
You must have missed something.
1. Hold vol down to enter HSPL during boot.
2. Either Task29 or directly flash a stock rom to completely revert to original state.
3. If you using custom rom and task 29, make sure you also flash the radio.
In order for the MAGLDR to work, you MUST flash radio that enables 576MB ram. I.e.: radio with *.50.* in its version name. If your stock rom comes with *.51.* radio, you need to change the radio.
Go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787) and pick a compatible radio and flash it. Then finally flash MAGLDR. It should work then.
Can anyone tell me where to get a stock rom?
I tried the HTC website, but apparently my serial number is wrong (I dunno why). My provider (vodafone) doesn't have anything either...

You need to provide more details. Which build are you using? Did you change the kernel, if so, did u copy the modules as well? Also, have you tried formatting your SD card using the panasonic SDHC card formatter? (It may seem trivial to format, but broken file system will prevent android from mounting your sdcard)
Hello, I'm new here and I'm about to buy a HD 2.
I could get one for 100€ but the seller says, that it hangs on htc logo but it is possible to get into the bootloader.
Is there a risk, that it's broken or something similar? Should i ask him something to make sure, if it's broken or not?
Thanks.
There is always a risk with buying second hand goods, the chances are the phone has already been toyed with and flashed to a point where either the wrong spl or hspl was installed for a specific ROM or maybe it they tried to install Android but got it wrong etc, Personally if you have time on your hands to try and rectify it then go for it, But unless you know what you are doing then I wouldn't bother with it.
Thanks, should i ask him, which H/SPL Version is installed?
The seller says, that he got the hd2 from a friend, who tried to flash a rom but it failed and they had no effort to "repair" it.
So do you mean, that there is finally a chance, that the device or/and the NAND is broken?
A friend of my bought a HTC HD2 recently and got flashed Android onto it. The only problem he has is that with Android he gets quite poor batt life. So if you are a heavy user, keep this in mind
Thanks.
The only question is, if the HD2 is broken.
I hoped, that you guys could except that.
Stuck on HTC logo is for example when you install sense rom and choose one of two options about apps on SD. They have done something bad during the install, or bad HSPL. The best way is to download from this forum Windows Mobile rom (no matter which, but best should be stock), flash it in bootloader (PWR+Vol-) via SD card. Then everything is default. And you can start flashing android step by step. It is not easy to break that dev, trust me I have it for 2 months, and it is still alive For a smartphone it is long for me I am using Dorimanx rom, and when you don't surf a lot of web, then it is OK for 2 days (battery life). When you use it much, then about 1 day (phone still looks for network, under ground).
Okay these are good news.
But don't you think, that a Tas29 would be better as first?
Oh and do you think, that selling my HTC Blackstone/Touch HD for the HD2 is a good deal?
I think that the system specifications of the Touch HD are not good enough to get sometime a good anroid nand rom. I tried the only nand build yet and I'm not very convinced.
EDIT:I asked the seller, what is displayed on the bootloader screen to get known of the H/SPL version (, right?).
I hopo to get a answer from him very soon.

I have never done Task29 and I have fast and stable rom. I even don't know what is this Just flash stock rom via SD in bootloader. Then during android install and all these HSPLs you can do Task29, but it's not necessary I think.

OK, but that is not important if you will flash windows onto it. It should be 2.08 HSPL for android, on other it doesn't work.
Okay thank you.
So can I finally buy it without risks?
How about prepare a SD card with leoimg.nbh first, then test it immediately when dealing? (If you are not buying it on ebay, i mean you go out and meet the seller, instead of shipping the product to your home)
My guess is it's foobarbed, if easily recovered then it would be done & up & running.
Is it EU or TMOUS version ? It is a big risk but as mentioned above if can physically meet & test device a little could reduce risk.
If a blind sale via eBay forget it unless you can afford the gamble or have use for parts ...
Buying used HD2s listed as fully working is risky enough & anything listed like this is normally scrap hoping for a gambling punter ! ...
Good idea! He is 25 kilometer (15 miles) away from me and it is cash only.
I hope, that he allows me to flash.
A official winmo rom would be the best, right?
How should i proceed? Flashing the rom and then testing if it works? or less?
Where can I get one, which will work with SPL and/or HSPL?
Thanks.
EDIT: @ Mister B: What does foobarbed mean? I'm not that good in english. The HD2 is EU and as above it is cash only so i hope that I can test it.
I don't know what does it mean too. Flash rom (Any WM6.5) but best would be stock, and boot it When it boots ok, then all right. But check Wi-Fi and these stuff if you want Stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
Check if the touch is ok, and battery if is original etc.
Prepare a SDCard with a suitable rom version(ask for the seller which region of that HD2, and download the corresponding rom)
rename the exe to .zip
open the zip file, extract RUU_signed.nbh to the root of your SDCard
rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh
When you want to test the phone, insert the sd card, boot into the bootloader, do:
Hold VOL-, press the power button(hold both button)
Now, HD2 should powered up, it should tell you to:
"Press power button to start update image"
Press the power button, then start update
When the update is completed(with NO ERROR), restart the phone and see if the phone turned back to Windows Mobile 6.5 and all function are working.

Thank you. I downloaded the rom for my country and then i extracted ruu_signed.nbh from the .exe file.
Now i need to rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it over to my micro sd card?
Is this right?
EDIT: Thanks hopkinskong. You were faster
Yes, that's right
Tips from me:
1. SD muntn't be partitioned, and must be foramted before copying leoimg.nbh
2. Watch out with time you hold these two buttons, because Vol- cancells update, so holding both, it will choose cancell, and it won't update. So just after the bootloader appears, immediately unpress the buttons.
Yes, thank you
I think, that i know that steps from my touch hd, so it shouldn't be a problem
If it has HSPL installed I would of first tried flashing a custom ROM such as NRGs WM6.5.x builds.
By flashing from SD and using original Rom you will overwrite HSPL & if then ROM is wrong vendor version you will have hassle.
Try keeping HSPL if it has it as can make recovery options less difficult.
"Foobarbed" is slang english, means broken, my bad & your english is very good ...

What can i do now?
That should have worked, you might have a borked radio.
Try the flash again, if it fails again try a custom ROM (that does not include a radio) and report back.
