Hey all,
Maybe someone can help me out.
Two weeks ago i installed andoid on my HTC HD2.
I used HPSL, radio 2.15.50.14, MAGLDR112 and NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.1_NAND. A few days ago, without any reason i got a white bootscreen and i still have it
What a did so far:
* New HSPL3, but the radio didn't connected anymore, error 270.
* A new MAGLDR, i reached 100% in a blink, but then an error 270.
* Using a SD with the original leoimg, i get a (00018003 radio fail) error after a few % and the update failed.
* task29, but again no connection. (after 5 min error 262)
* new USB drivers installed for windows 7 and i also tried it on an windows Xp computer.
So far i only reached my 4 colored screen with:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
* The original rom was RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Last question, how can i check that the batttery is stil oke for flashing.
Anyone who has a clue what to do?
Thanks in advance.
greetz!

Mate, I think you´ve done everything. HSPL and Radio ROM versions correct etc.
Since I see more and more people reporting similar problems like you, I get the feeling that some Android builds might have some strange effects on Radio ROMs.
There are too many people with SPL and Radio ROM problems, eg. stuck in bootloader or at the white startup screen.
This didn´t happen at this pace before Android NAND.
Only 1 question though:
Did you try to flash the original ROM using RUU.exe, SSPL or LeuCustomRUU via USB, without having the SIM and the SD card inserted? In rare cases, either one or both were trouble makers...
EDIT: Second question:
What kind of SD card did you try? Bigger cards seem more problematic, too.
I used a 2 gb micro SD card to go back to the original Rom.
I didn't tried to go back to original ROM using USB, because of the connecting problems. So that i'm gonna do now. Any suggestions which to use best?
After your post i tried to the flash with (and without) the formatted sd and the simcard, unfortunatelly i didn't work.
For last your question i can say that connect your phone to PC when it is off. Then keep down "volume down" button and switch on your phone. You get 4 colored screen. On bottom you can see USB word. Let phone for minimum 1h. And you get more 50% charged battery.
After hour you can flash back to original rom or to MAGLDR and forward normally flash android nand. You dont need disconnect or switch off before flash your phone.
Hope helps.
@tictac0566
Thanks for the options!
I tried the options mentioned in question 1, the problem is the connection USB/Radio. SSPL seems to work, but after 1% again connection error.
After a few test it must be the radio.
I tried to flash only a new radio using LEOIMG, after 99% i get the same error as LEOIMG an original Rom (00018003 radio fail)
With HPSL3_PKG i also can't go back to SPL 2.08.000.
So the problem must be there.
Anyone has an idea?? Can i use another radio? If yes, than which?
Thanks!
Still no solution
Tried many things, still the radio is not working.
It could be also HPSL3, because i can't go back to spl 2.08 (or any other (h)spl with the app.
Anyone has an idea??
Just trying to help here, but have you tried doing everything from the start?
task29 and everything else?
Hey i seem to have the same problem as you except my white screen wasnt after a flash, it just randomly went white one day and wouldnt boot.
I have tried MTTY, i can connect via usb but after formatting via MTTY and then attempting to flash a new rom (ship and custom) it just stays on 0% and doesnt do anything else.
Sorry to hijack thread just thought whilst people are looking they can help me too

Can you go into bootloader? If you can then your problem can be solved. The problem you are having might have been because you unintentionaly installed or uninstalled a programm and that corrupted your rom.
To both of you. Try to flash using the leoimg.nbh step. If it doesn't work then the rom you used is not compactible with your device, try another till you find one that will work with your device. I know it is tiring to do something like that, here a tip from me, the rom you are expected to use in this process must be in the native language of your phone or else it will not work. You can't just use any stockrom to do it. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice, but all the roms i tried i got a radio fail during flashing with leoimg.nbbh.
Maybe your HSPL is faulty ? Did you try to re-HSPL your device using HSPL.exe ?

Yes i tried, but mine HD2 stays on SPL-2.08 HPSL.
I used HSPL3_PKG and HSPL2 in different but still SPL-2.08 HSPL.
Maybe there's where my problems are, but i als can be an corrupt radio.
Anyone an other way to back to SPL 2.08.000 or how to fix the radio?
Then your best bet is to flash with a goldcard

Yes i can get into bootloader. I have tried using MTTY task 29 to format the device then i searched on the HTC site for a compatible ROM. Turns out the only one that doesnt give a negative response when i type in my serial number is the ROM from Taiwan. Tried flashing that using the SD card method and the USB method. Sd card method hangs at 0% and i get a connection error in USB method. I have also tried the latest ROM from Dutty.
If a ROM is not compatible how do you know? Does it hang at 0% or does it finish loading and then wont boot from there.
I have even tried flashing just a radio with the same results.

Yes i tried all different types of HSPL and even SSPL. From the bootloader screen i run the .exe from the computer and it goes through and says 'operation finished successfully'
But when i get back to the bootloader it still says the same HSPL, which is 1.66
Also to note when i power on the device i can hear a small 'click' from it. Could be much worse and be a hardware problem?
Still no solution.
Oke guys, thanks for answering my threat so far!
Still trying to get my HTC back to life.
Is it possible that my problem is in HSPL? (see attachments)
After the white screen i tried to reinstall HPSL 2, 3 and 1, but during the instal my HTC reboot (without the signal "We Hacked It"
I also tried different SD card for LEOIMG, still radio fail 00018003.
One thing i didn't tried is using a goldcard, i downloaded the app but i need a working HTC HD2 to make the card.
Anyone?
No you don't, there you go :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874304
Goldcard is the old method to install a custom rom way before HSPL became popular
so if HSPL don't work then Goldcard wont as well but hey you can still try
I think its more of a hardware problem now since all attempts for software repair is not successful. I had the same situation as yours, white screen then radio fail, tried all solutions but still no luck
sameeeeee
i have the same problem 100%
i already try all these solution and no one is worked
however, some one told me that maybe the problem with the Flash memory of my HD2 because he already try to solve / or already solve such problem "but unfortunately he lost the tools he was used"
this tools is can check the memory and told which memory chunk is corrupted
please if any one know this tools or had it please posted it on.....
That app should be Task 29.
Hi, how are you, guys ?
I'm new to this awesome forum (helped me many times), and I decided to post a new thread because I believe that my situation is pretty serious.
I'm from France, by the way, so I apologize in advance for potential grammatical errors or what. Let's cut it to the chase.
Like most of you, I love new technologies with mobiles, that's why I bought what I consider to be the greatest smartphone on the planet right now, the HTC Leo/HD2.
When I searched all over the internet for tests, reviews about several phones I planned on buying, the HD2 seemed to be the most versatile of them. I was most notably amazed by the fact that the Leo could be a home to Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android, among others. So my choice was made.
I wanted immediately to upgrade the OS, and to go into WP7. Several reasons to that, the first being Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. As it's name indicates, this OS seemed to be made for professional purposes. Plus, and you may guess it, I was really excited to try Windows Phone 7.
I tried to search the easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to upgrade to WP7, and I found this site:
I'm not authorized to post the link to the site, so I'll just tell you that the article is "Download Windows Phone 7 [WP7] ROM For HTC HD2 [Install Guide]", in Aliwaqas[dot]com
Looks serious, right ?
I downloaded the files and followed the instructions.
Aparté: Before that, a week before, I downloaded the latest ROM from the HTC website, because I had a problem with text messages, a problem some of you (or even all of you) must've had: It took way too many time for the virtual keyboard to appear and process with the text message. So I download the ROM, it was the one from 2010-10-11, 3.14.406.2.
Back to the WP7 upgrade, now.
- It was asked to grab MAGLDR, extract and copy the files to my desktop: Done.
- Download HardSPL 2.08 and install it: Done.
After that, my phone completely froze at the white HTC Screen. Every time. I tried Soft & Hard Reset many times, still freezing. I continued, hoping that WP7 would stop the freezing.
- Download the 2.15.50.14 radio and install it. Done.
- Connect my phone to the computer and execute MAGLDR (v1.12): Done.
- Go to the fifth option, "USB Flasher": Done
And there stops my progression. As a matter of fact, it is aked to execute DWI.exe, which I did. However, every time, it finishes with this:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1198)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)
Can anyone help me on this, please ? Because I can't even restart it all with the Hard Reset, because it doesn't work, obviously.
Thank you to all, peace !
Did you have the 3.14 ROM installed prior to running HSPL2, flashing the 2.15.50 RADIO?

The first thing you need to do is downgrade the WinMo6.5 ROM to either 1.66 (HTC) or 1.72 (branded: T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc). Go to HTC's website and download the ROM from there - you need to use your phone's serial number.
Put the phone into BootLoader Mode (with the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will se a 3-colour screen with 'Serial' at the bottom. On the screen you should see SPL 3.03.0000 (this tells that you have the 3.14 ROM installed). Now connect to the PC and the 'Serial' will change to 'USB'.
Run the ROM (just tick the box about ActiveSync as bootloader bypasses the need for it). If you are running with Vista or Windows7 then you need to do this as an administrator. Once this is down you will have either a 1.66 or 1.72 ROM (either will have changed the SPL to 1.66.0000).
You can now run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL.
You can now run the 2.08.50 RADIO.
Now you are prepaired to enter the world of WP7 or Android NAND flashing.
Hi,
Thank you for helping me.
In fact, fred_up, I'm already in SPL-2.08.HSPL. I went in the thread alarien suggested even before posting this one. When I told you that I tried everything I could, it was real. Went into several forums, several languages, but no solutions. I hope this'll be the one. Anyway.
When it is into BootLoader Mode, here is what's in there ("_" means "blank):
PB81100___HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL__8G___XE
_______________0x05
CotullaHSPL______0x30
Even though I'm already at SPL 2.08.HSPL, do I still have to go through the process "3.03 -> 1.66 -> 2.08.HSPL -> 2.08.50" ?

yeah, use a power mat or buy one of those external battery chargers, but be sure to make an extra battery so you can use it when charging the other one..
I'm afraid I don't see the relation between my problem and your post, coldest~~~...
have you tried running DWI.exe in administrator?
Yes, theroffness, I have, unsuccessfully.
Hi, everybody, thank you for your help
I re-downloaded the WPLEO7 folder, and I reinstalled it, it worked ! I'm now in Windows Phone 7, and it looks gorgeous.
On to the next problem, now
My phone is not recognized in my computer, no matter what way I try to go with. Installed Zune and the Windows Mobile Device Center, I can't do anything. Furthermore, the WMDC doesn't detect my WP7'ed HTC HD2. I want to install TouchXplorer and other .xap files, and I can't seem to find how I could possibly do that.
Anyone, s'il vous plaît ? (means "please" in french, for those of you who didn't know ! lol)

I did it, thanks for the help. However, ever since I installed chevronwp7.cer, my computer can't seem to recognize my phone anymore. I have all the related software, but I can't go farther.
Also, when I put an SD Card on my phone, it can't switch on !
I honestly don't know how to deal with that, can someone do ? Thanks.
I just solved the problem by my own. But I still have this problem with SD Card. When I put it on my HD2 (at that time, the phone is off. When it is on, it isn't recognized by the phone), I can't switch it on. I obviously need space because I can't even send some damn text messages.
Hi,
I've got some major problems with my HD2. First of all, it was running well. Last Saturday, I wanted to update my NAND TyphooN_CM7_v2.5 to TyphooN_CM7_v2.8.1. I opened CWM and made a backup. Afterwards, I installed the 2.8.1 version and after the reboot, I restored the backup(I think that's my mistake).
After that, I checked the build-version - it was still 2.5..
A little confused, I went to buy a BD. I recognized in the car, that the wake up bug happened again and I resetted the phone. Then, it worked fine.
Back at home, I took my phone in order to reinstall the 2.8.1 version. Suddenly, the HD2 only showed a clear white screen. I didn't boot and MAGLDR didn't appear either. So I tried to reinstall MAGLDR - didn't work(sometimes it's the 270 error, then it's the 262..)
What I've done till today:
-Tried to reflash HSPL
-Hardreset
-Tried to flash a tmo original WM Rom via USB(262&270 error)
-Tried to flash a tmo original WM Rom via SD =>No Flash Screen appeared
I'm kinda stuck cause the damn phone won't flash...
The usb connection is functionnable(the HSPL installer recognizes the HSPL version on the phone)
Hope you can help me

Did you use s USB Micro SD card reader to copy tbd leoimg.nbh file to your SD card, and are you sure your SD card is formated Fat 32? Also go to your device manager in the control panel of hour computer while your BD2 is connected via USB and in bootloader. Make sure it says HTC USB Sync.
Yep - I'm sure about everything you mentioned
What to do next? The previous owner assured that the phone's got t-mobile de branding..
I guess then it is necessary to use a t-mobile Rom..
I'm quite confident, that it's not completely bricked - I can still enter the bootloader and the hard-reset mode
Give me some ideas

Yes if you want to go back to stock and start over this is a very good idea. If you have the T-Mobile Leo with 1024MB RAM then yes only flash the T-Mobile official ROM to your HD2 as the any other official ROM will either brick your HD2 or the ROM will not function properly. Most of the time they brick a T-Mobile HD2 though as they have radios with x.xx.51.xx with them or a radio like these 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx. Any of those radio versions will brick a T-Mobile HD2
Also this may or may not help but I suggest it as it might help you out. Go to windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center depending on what Windows your computer uses. The lateast releases have updated USB drivers and sometimes this is the problem when people are having issues flashing via USB.
You also had said you have tried the stock ROM already so you probably do not have HSPL anymore unless you got HSPL to reflash. So you will either have to flash a stock ROM or flash HSPL again so you can flash a custom ROM.

The bootloader still says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Ok you still have HSPL 2.08 wich is good as this means you can flash a custom ROM if you want to. Bit be advised that seeing as you have the 512MB version if you use any 3.14 official ROM or 3.14 based custom ROM then you will have to have SPL 3.03.0000 or HSPL 3.03 or you will incounter memory problems, also you will need a Radio version with a 50 in it. bit yhis is only if you are going to use Windows Mobile, if you are going Android don't worry about this.
Now what all have you tried sense your first post, and have hou tried a task 29?
I tried
-several USB ports
-AV and firewall off
-tried to install the other HSPL version(HSPL3 installer)=>Installer says "successfully done"..but there's no change in the bootloader
What's next?Task 29?
Btw: My battery LED doesn't turn green I charged the HD2 the whole night and in the morning, the LED's still orange..Looks like the first MAGLDR. With the first version, the charging didn't work when the phone was off. I had to take the battery and reinsert it. It's like that at the moment...
You want to make sure you have atleast a 50% charge or more on your battery cause you do not want your battery to die whild you are flashing anything as it will almost assuredly lead to your HD2 being bricked.You are right about MAGLDR too and that your HD2 has to be on to charge. Task 29 will delete what ever is in your NAND memory of your HD2 and reformat the NAND memory also. It is always a good idea to run a task 29 when you are going to flash a new ROM of any kind. Be advised though Task 29 will remove MAGLDR from your HD2. Here is a link to Task 29 so you can learn more about it anx download it if hou want to give it a try.

But how can I be sure about my battery? The HD2 doesn't show me the battery status and I can't recognize it because the LED doesn't change

That is a very good point as you have to have a ROM of some kind on your HD2 to get what percentage oc charge your battery has. I also do not know of any software you can get for you computer that can give you this information, but that is not to say it does not exist. You can try googling it to see what you can find. But the best bet is for you to boot up into MAGLDR and pmug your HD2 up to your wall charger and lrt it charge for 45 minutes to an hour and gou will have enough charge then.
MAGLDR doesn't start - the phone's stuck in that screen
The phone's been charging for about 90 minutes - I'll now try task 29
Task29 doesn't work either..
ERROR 262
Somewhere, there's a problem with the connection..but I can't see where
EDIT: I reinstalled the WMDC drivers - still the same error..
EDIT2: Same error with the original windows update drivers
Finally, I managed to use the SD card..
But then, the flashing failed
What now?
EDIT: After a couple of minutes, I pushed the reset button..The bootloader's still there The bootloader says still the same things as mentioned earlier and the usb connection is still working
I know this might be a redundant question, but are you absolutely sure you have the correct stock ROM for your HD2? Also are you 100% positive you have a T-Mobile Leo with the 1024MB ram and not a EU model with 512MB ram?
No problem buddy
I used this german website:"[Upd.19.02] Downloadübersicht HTC HD2 ROMs ( orig. & Betreiber ), Radio und Hotfixes and I took the first T-mobile rom(as it was an advice of an user)=>Auslieferungsrom(means like the rom the phone had when you bought it)
And I'm sure about the 512MB version - it's definetely a EU version!

OK so your phone looks like the picture of the one I attached below. Does the Duesch Telecom(sorry if I did not spell that right but I know they are the mother company of my carrier T-Mobile USA) not have a website you can download a official ROM from? Sorry I am still translating the stuff on the site you linked lol
Yeah, it looks like that. First, I downloaded the 3rd t-mobile Rom(directly from their website). But then a user told me to take the first version..
So you down;loaded this ROM and flashed it correct.?
Auslieferungsrom/Deutsch 1.43.111.2 2.04.50.22
And you had wanted to flash this one but was told not to correct?
01.02.11 / Deutsch 3.14.111.1 2.15.50.14
Who is your carrier by the way?
Edit: Could you not use one of the ROMs from here
I extracted the "Auslieferungs-Rom" and copied the *.nbh on the SD Card. I renamed it and tried to flash it - got to error message from the picture above.
My carrier is t-mobile de
I'm not sure if I can use a Rom from the HTC website When I use my SN, the website says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"
PS: Is it possible, that the flashing failed because of the different Radio versions? As far as I know, the version 2.15.50.14 is installed on my HD2. The "Auslieferungs-Rom" is mentioned with an other version..
EDIT: On the german HTC website, my SN only works for T-Mobile Roms.
I have been trying to help a friend install Android on his HD2. We actually had it working but didn't know anything about APN so we couldn't figure out how to get the 3g data working. Ultimately I wound up flashing it back to Windows, and then figured I would try flashing Android again after that. Unfortunately we are now stuck with Windows because it seems that we cannot flash MAGLDR. When we try, the progress bar sits there, stuck at 0%.
I had downloaded the image from T-mobile's website here:
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
But I found this post archived:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-612580-p-78.html
It has some information stating that "If you cannot reflash and you stay at the 0 percent screen, then another solution is to flash first an original stock HTC ROM (1.66). Enter bootloader, connect to PC/Laptop and flash this ROM. When that has been succesfull, you can then reflash Artemis ROM."
Unfortunately the ROMs they are referring to (1.66, 1.72, etc.) appear to be non-US ROMs. I found the 1.72 website for the UK:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=936&news_id=638
But the site specifically says not to use that ROM to flash a T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2 as doing so can have unintended consequences. Is this true even when using HSPL? As part of the Android process we obviously had to install HSPL 2.08. I thought the point of HSPL was that you could always flash a ROM and even if the ROM didn't work, you will drop into the bootloader where another ROM can be flashed. So basically you can't brick the device any longer since you can always access the bootloader and flash a new ROM.
It seems people had success flashing one of those 1.66/1.72 ROMs and then installing some other ROM. I tried using the US ROM and it flashes just fine (doesn't get stuck at 0 percent) but when I try reflashing MAGLDR it just gets stuck. I don't intend on booting up and using the UK ROM...I'm just curious if I can flash that on this US based phone and then try to flash MAGLDR again to see if it works. Is this a good idea?
Oops...didn't mean to post this in the dev forum! Moderators please feel free to move this to Q&A.
flash any non tmous compatible cooked rom to a tmous and it wont boot past the RGD screen.
flash any STOCK non tmous rom to a tmous and it is bricked, full stop, dead. The radio contained in non tmous roms is permanently fatal to tmous phones.
This is true regardless of HSPL or any thing.
Simply put, you should never flash any rom where the chef doesnt explicitly state tmous compatible.
I havent used artemis, though glancing through the first post i see it is is based on the Leo S 3.14 rom, which is for the regular hd2 (LEO S means regular). What it doesnt make is any mention of tmous compatibility, so unless someone knows for certain i'd stay away from it.
Is this a good idea?

not at all.
If your aim is magldr, put phone into bootloader, connect usb, run hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl, your radio is already OK, because if it wasn't your phone would already be bricked (all tmous radios are ok for magldr by default), return to bootlaoder, flash magldr.
EDIT - Oh and once you are on android, you dont need to worry, all roms are tmous compatible.
Great thanks for the info...I definitely don't want to brick his phone with an incompatible radio. As for loading HSPL 2.08 that is precisely what I did. I flashed Windows back on there, then flashed HSPL 2.08, then tried to flash the same radio. It got stuck at 0% so I pulled the battery and tried again but it was a no go. So then I just tried MAGLDR and it also got stuck.
At this point I read the thread about flashing Windows back so I tried that again and am still unable to flash MAGLDR. You think I should flash HSPL again and then it will work? I think I used HSPL 3...so maybe I need to try HSPL 4.

Also I don't plan on using Artemis...I just found that post while trying to fix the 0% issue while flashing. I had installed prj clean desire and he really liked that. He isn't too techie so I don't worry about him wanting to flash new ROMs to try them. As long as it is not Windows mobile he is happy. Unfortunately he is stuck on that for the moment.

hanging at 0%, , two possibles, either you accidentaly chose 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08.hspl when you ran hspl, or your computer is timing out, in which case dont touch the phone, reconnect to a different usb port and run the flash again.
Also, if you flashed that http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ 3.14 rom from there, then you already have the latest radio and dont need to change it.
Oh snap you might be right...I might have chosen 2.08.0000 and not the HSPL version. I seriously doubt the computer is timing out because it works fine with that same USB port to flash the Windows ROM. I bet you're right and I just flashed the wrong SPL! I'll get his phone and just bring it home with me soon. He can use his old phone for a day or two while I iron things out.
I'll try to remember to login from my computer and hit the thanks button. I don't see any way to do that in this app...

also worth considering - once magldr is running and you are into the android side of things, go into wmdc without phone connected, choose connections settings (or whatever it says) and UNtick allow usb connections, , you don't want wmdc grabbing the usb connection. (probably also need the "google usb driver" if its your first time with android on that pc,, google them.)
Flashing from bootloader needs that box ticked, hence the slightly confusing instructions in flashing guides to 'get an activesync connection', it doesn't really mean a sync connection, but that those drivers have grabbed the usb.

Yeah that causes a different error. Something about USB init failed and it complains about a source file called rspl.cpp or something like that. I had to fix that issue before I could ever install the prj ROM the first time. It's ActiveSync 4.5 though (I'm running XP on this partition -- I don't buy any Microsoft products any longer -- or Apple for that matter), but the steps are essentially the same. You just have to prevent it from establishing USB connections.
@samsamuel
Thank you so much for all of your help! I got his phone back today and it looks like the Windows ROM flashed 2.10.0000 on there. I launched HSPL3 again and this time made sure that I selected 2.08HSPL. It flashed right on, as did MAGLDR 1.13, and ultimately the prj clean Desire ROM. It's back to working again and we'll plug in the APN settings when I give it back to him tonight. Victory!

heh, a happy ending, nice.
I bought a used HD2 running CM10(NexusHD2-JellyBean v1.3a). I want to run WP7.8 on it so I looked up the ways to do that. Tutorials like http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1193 say to flash a stock winmo6.5 rom before moving to WP7. I tried to do that by trying to flash RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship. The normal RUU Updat Utility came up with lots or errors, but mostly connection or no response from device issues. So upon further reading i found out an alternate way to go about it by renaming the nbh and putting it in an sd card. I used 2GB microSD card and tried to flash it. But mid-way it stopped and upon reboot it said software update failed with a triangle. I went into the 3-color screen and there the message was present as well with two other messages microp led and microp touch. I tried the sd flash method again but it stopped by giving a not allow 00028002 error every time. I flashed HSPL 2.08.000 from the HSPL4 executable and Android booted up again.
i also tried RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship_2 but the same update error(266, i think) came up
Can i now go to a stock rom and then to WP7?
Thanks, in advance

thanks for the reply but i want to go back to the stock rom which it seems i'm unable to do. i tried the usb flash and microsd flash methods with both RUUs. if i get to stock then i can proceed to wp7 with a clean slate. ATM i've flashed energy rom (Energy.Leo.29022.Sense2.5.Reference.Jul.05) with radio 2.15.50.14 in an attempt to see if doing this would help flash stock rom but no success.
IF you want WP7 no need to go back to stock ROM, I guess you haven't take a look at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675
once you have Magldr in your HD2, next steps would be easy as pushing a button
got windows phone 7.8 on it, thanks. But what if i want to later on return to stock rom? even when i was trying to wipe with task29 it was giving same error 266 and as of yet i haven't successfully flashed anything by the RUU method.

Nope but then again, i never had to flash another radio. Try to follow the tutorial in mengfei's signature and if it doesn't work create a separate thread for others to weigh in.

If you want stock windows mobile (with HSPL) > Use HSPL to flash windows mobile using the RUU.
If you want stock winmo AND stock spl > Install winmo using HSPL, then use HSPL package to uninstall HSPL (i.e. install stock SPL).
That's the only way I can think of since you're getting lots of errors doing anything without HSPL.

I presume you're talking about the regular USB>3-color screen>RUU(on pc) method. Well, i've been doing that for stock roms and other stuff(splashes, etc.) too but i almost always seem to get error 266 update error.

If you don't have HSPL, you will get an error when trying to flash almost anything.
You said you flashed HSPL, but in fact you didn't

From HSPL4 you can flash the stock SPL, which is what you did. HSPL 2.08.0000 is stock SPL. With that, you can't do much.
You need 2.08.HSPL.
Try again and report back.

Try this easy fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993472
To sum it up:
*Try a different port.
*Install ActiveSync/WMDC.
*If already installed, uninstall then re-install, or simply try a different computer if you have.

Well, I am sorry then. I am out of ideas; you have wait for other members with greater knowledge.
Edit:
Maybe the USB cable? Although I highly doubt it, there is no harm in trying. Try a different cable and see what happens.

well, thanks for trying!
edit: IT WORKED! I tried another cable and while recognizing the pc went to some qualcomm drivers that i used to have and reverted to htc ones and the RUU picked it up and the flashing commenced. Thanks a ton!
