I have an Htc magic already rooted and with clockwork recovery running cm6.0.0 I want to update it to a newer Rom, a fast froyo or fast Gb, all of the root work wasn't done by me, I don't know much about this particular device, anyway when I try to do a backup cwRecoverysays 0 Mb on sd card, Wich is not true, I think it may be a problem of the old version of cwRecovery (2.5) so I don't know what if the best method for changing just the recovery.
By the way this 32a is running spl 1.33.2010 and 3.22 radio
Anyone? anyone?
Anyway... I now understand how to flash the recovery without damaging the rest, I'm trying to use the tool that changes radios and recovery, but the phone wont get recognised in fastboot, when I plug the cable windows recognizes the device fine but when I type fastboot devices I get none listed, maybe it has something to do with the usb drivers I'm using windows 7x64

hello everyone,
im having some trouble with my 32b vodafone magic. im hoping someone might be able to help me with.
i tried to update the rom to the jachero, but i didnt update the SPL first. now when i turn on the phone it just goes to the hero/htc splashscreen and keeps looping that. the phone wont load up fully.
i did some searches and found out that i could use the adb program in the android sdk, however when i load it nothing is showing in the devices list. i think this is because usb debugging is not enabled?
i can get into fastboot OK and cyans 1.4 recovery as well.
would it be possible for me to go into the console and type a command in there that would enable usb debugging? if so what do i need to type and how do i get the keyboard to appear in cyans recovery console in the first place? - (i have the usb drivers already installed on windows from the sdk)
other then that i was thinking i could just buy a micro sd card reader and copy the spl onto it that way and then update? and then update the ROM.
ive tried restore/wipe but that doesn't work for me either, i still keep getting stuck on the splash screen.
any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks a mill,
luke
hi again,
i thought id give some more info that might be of use, hopefully.
my current spl is 1.33.0004 and the radio is 2.22.19.26I
i tried using fastboot but everytime i try to flash a file onto the device i get remote: signature verify fail
thanks,
luke
hiyas, just a quick update, i went and got an sd card reader and updated the spl and then put the rom on it and its flying now.
I tried flashing my first ROM on to the GSM unlocked HD2, the rom came with both the RUU and the nbh files, however, after i finished the onscreen wizard from the ruu, when i went to boot up my phone, it is stuck at the HTC screen.
I can boot into serial mode, and can do a system restore. But it is still stuck at the HTC screen when booted.
What should I do to get the ROM on to the device and have it boot normally?
any help is appreciated
you can still boot the phone into the bootloader correct?
when in bootloader connect your phone to your computer with your usb cable
once the connection is established it should change from 'serial' to 'usb' in the bootloader
now from your computer, flash your phone's stock rom
if you are on tmo us make sure the rom is compatible with the US version
also make sure if you are tmous that you do not flash a radio with .51 in it
you didn't say what phone or what rom, but I suspect you need to flash a matching radio.
read the thread of the rom you flashed and there will likely be a recommended radio.
So I had cyanogenmod 5.0.7 installed and I decided to try the new smoki rom, I realized I had to update radio so I tried the radio tool and all I get was writing radio..... and nothing else it just stayed there for a good 15 minutes. Any ideas?
I have the 32A and it was rooted with a gold card. I can get into fastboot but nothing else. Thanks!
We need more info. Do you have a mytouch 1.2/Fender Edition Mytouch? If so, you cannot run anything other than stock spl and radio (1.33.0013 for spl and radio 2.22.23.02)
The good news is that if you do have a mt3g 1.2/ Fender LE, it is not bricked since you can still get into fastboot. From there, you would need to make another goldcard, load the sappimg that contained the engineering spl and then flash stock radio, amon ra's recovery, and stock spl once again.
Normal Htc
Its a normal magic i.e. rogers branded without headphone jack does. Do i have to do the golden card thing even if I rooted it before? could you point me to a guide for rerooting I'm kind of a n00b
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Okay, since it is not a mt3g 1.2/Fender LE, I don't think you have to reroot. Can you boot up the phone, can you get into recovery, and can you get into hboot (vol down + power button) ? And what is the spl version right now?
HTC MAGIC
all I can do is get into hboot and fastboot when I try recovery I just the rogers loading screen and it doesnt go away. my spl i think is 1.76.2007 and my current radio says 3.22.20.17 but i did fastboot radio erase and it still shows it. I have tried fastboot flash recovery then booting recovery but it doesnt work I have also tried fastboot flash radio with like 3 different radio images and that didnt work. I'm kind freaking out because I have 0 warranty lols.
Don't freak out, it's not bricked. Don't expect to be able to flash anything if you dont have engineering spl (1.33.2010). Now, I don't have a traditional 32a magic, so this might be the best solution to your problem, however, this is what I know will work.
You need to make a goldcard again and load the engineering spl on it. (I'll look for the link in a bit)/
Then, you boot into Hboot mode and it'll automatically flash the spl for you.
Afterwards, you go into fastboot, flash whatever radio you had originally, then the amon ra recovery image, and then whatever spl you had before.
Lastly, you go into recovery and flash cyanogenmod back. Once you finish doing all of that, I'll help you get the other rom on your magic if you need help.
I'll look for the file you need in a minute. I gotta finish up my physics homework.
EDIT:
Okay. These two guides can explain things a lot better than I can. Choose whichever one you can do more reasily.

If anyone knows a better way to do this, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Golden Card
How would I make a gold card if I can't get the CID because the phone wont boot? Is there another way to read this information of it? I tried googleing but no luck yet
Nvm
Nvm I found the goldcard.img i'm charging my phone right now and i'll try it in a hour thanks for the help.
You can get the CID even if your phone doesnt boot. As long as you're at the boot screen, it'll connect and you can get the CID.
Unsure
Not quite sure how I can fallow the guide since I can only get into fastboot any suggestions?
tried engineering spl
I got this engineering spl ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) - MD5 : F9674D19BE5F949D0D9DC99714D210E3 and put it on a golden memory card but the hboot doesnt recognize it do I need to rename it? I also tried flashing radio again with fastboot flash radio radio.img with radio.img being the old and new radio still as soon as it starts writing the htc screen goes black but on and the phone becomes unresponsive
HI everyone,
This is the first time for me posting a thread here...thanks in advance.
Well I have a HTC HD2 that is a friends of mines. He was trying to change the radio so it could work in another country and managed to brick the phone. He got tired of trying to fix the phone so he gave it to me. I have tried fixing it with a tool kit I downloaded in another thread here. I managed to get it to boot butt it wouldn't get past T-Mobile screen...I kept on messing with it trying to install a ROM and different radios but non will work and wont turn on anymore but still is able to be recognize but PC(not mobile media center) and the last thing I did was task29. It stopped at 99%...still can load bootloader 3 colors but having a harder time getting the phone recognize by PC. Can anyone help me before I get into a deeper hole? If your need any more detail please ask me...btw the phone is running SPL- 3.03 HSPL in boot loader.
to the rescue !!

your friend shouldnt have flashed the radio without proper info !!
radio is the only thing which bricks the device !!!
dont worry we'll try to sort something out !!
firstly start with flashing a proper radio !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
download the radio 2.15.50.14 from this thread and flash it !!
NOTE : if you cant flash radio from ur pc, via nbh installer or the toolkit, you can flash it from a memory card !!
just format a normal memory card, put the radio on the card, rename the radio file to LEOIMG.nbh and get to the bootloader screen !!
follow the instructions from there and flash the radio !!
secondly if you want android or wp7-7.5 on ur device !! hspl 3.03 wont work !!
so install hspl 2.08 for that !!
for winmo6.5 3.03 is ok !!
do a task 29 once and flash any rom or magldr(for android or wp7-7.5)!!
good luck .....
thanks for quick reply
I am trying to do what you instructed me.
Didn't work
I tried it on the PC and it sadly stopped @ 96%, now it wont turn on volume down+power. Battery was charged and i didn't turn off. It displayed error 262. as soon as I can I will try it on sd card. Thanks though.
I was not able to install the radio but did in fact get to task29 successfully and MAGLDR Version-1.13. Now my phone is stuck in the Stick together screen. Can anyone help me from here what should I do. thanks I will be waiting for a responce.
Do you still need help cos its really easy to unbrick your phone and I say this because once I flashed 5 different roms in 2 hours or less and my phone wouldn't even turn on and when it did it would get stuck on the tmObile splash screen and restart but I fixed it and now I'm running the best Rom out there lol... reply to this thread and I'll tell you what to do

The thing is that I can't get any ROM's to finish installing...in the SD card the power button does not work...and in the computer the fartest I gotten was 99% but always stops and gives me error ussualy Error 262. Ireally don't know what to do. MY friend said he took it to an Asian Guy...I noticed that the battery S/N does not match the phone...can this have an effect...I haven't been able to flash any ROMS successfully not even the debranded stock. I flashed several phones and installed many different custom firmwares but this phone has been a real challenge...I'm over 2 weeks in...Thanks for the help thus far you guys are the best...
leoimg.nbh won't start to install
Hi everyone,
I have a severe problem with my HTC HD2 after installing a NAND version of android which did not work very well, than wanting to reinstall winmob 6.5 (vodafone) it startet "loading" the leoimg.nbh from the SD-card, but than stayed in this status neverending. So I interrupted (was that the mistake?? :-( }. Now I'm able to start MAGLDR 1.13, am also able to install another NAND version, but with every version I get the message: problem with android.xxx and so on.
I can start the bootloader modus (SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE), also connect by USB, but if I try to reload any leoimg.nbh from SD card - it does nothing, just stays in the bootloader modus.
Did I destroy any hardware by interrupting the non functioning "loading"?
Please help, if you can, what I could do now to get a functioning NAND android again!
Many thanks in advance!!!
freak just try the task 29 and u might return everything to normal condition
and for future never interrupt the installation process as u can brick ur device
for the main topic, i can say that ur device is fully bricked and the only way is taking it to the service center or try flashing directly into the hardware, but thats dangerous and requires professional skills
Plz help!

Please can you help me.. I did the same thing.. it kept getting stuck at 0% and then i had to wait like an hour and then i tried again.. now its completely dead!
Please tell me what to do..

First of all; This steps can solve your problem. But first of all(don't forget to check 2.08.HSL) try to use "Task29" and if it is success, load Radio ROM 2.15.50.14, and load original Winmo 6.5 ROM (Tmous or EU which phone do you use).
If you are stuck somewhere, then;
Download an original ROM for your HTC device from HTC webside.
- Format your SD card like FAT32 primary.
- Take "RUU_signed.nbh" from an original ROM and copy it to your SD card.
- Rename to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset your device while pressing the volume down button.
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14;

After several attempts to switch on the phone it finally turned on so I immediately installed stock ROM and it didn't get stuck on 0%.. it worked!!
Do you think I should perform a task 29 now or I can just proceed with installing a new radio and then installing a new ROM?
Thanks again mate!
Apparently I need to install SPL 2.08 before trying to install HSPL and then run android.. anyone know where I can find it?
Nevermind figured everything out Thanks anyway

If you want to change your ROM with one another like Android NAND ROM or Windows 6.5 ROM, then use this procedures.
For NAND Android ROM; You must flollow this sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, and format your sdcard ext3 or ext4 and 1gb (which one you must use is pointed out by your Android chief). Copy new Android ROM into your sdcard's FAT32 section. insert it into your HTC device.
1. do task29
2. instal radio rom 2.15.50.14
3. install magldr 1.13
4. do recovery 5.0.2.6
5. do clear cache and dalvik cache.
6. Choose your android ROM .zip file on sdcard, load and enjoy...
For Windows 6.5 Follow this sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, Format your sdcard like FAT 32 primary partition. insert it into your HTC device.
1. do Task29
2. Install Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
3. Run LeoCustomRUU.exe like "Run as Administrator" which Windows 6.5 rom you chose to use.

Are you booting into bootloader and connecting the device to your computer so you can get the HTC Sync connection. Just boot into bootloader by holding the volume down button down and poewering on your device. Connect it to your computer via USB and when you see Serial in the white bar of boo5tloader change to USB you have the HTC Sync connection and can flash your device.
I face a very odd problem with my HD2 EU. After years of 2 different versions of Android on nand I decided to reset it to stock(Vol down+power with leoimg.nbh in root of a FAT32 formatted microsd). When I get in bootloader mode there seem to be 2 instances of bootloader. The first 3 colour screen with all the right wordings lasts a second or two then I get a second 3 colour screen with the same wordings. With my Verbatim 8Gb class4 microsd formatted FAT32 and leoimg.nbh (obtained from the original RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.66.408.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship.exe) in the root directory, the device does not recognize the file and it's not possible to restore the phone to stock, but I can only get into usb connection.
Being able to get in usb mode with the various versions of HSPL (1-2-3-4) I can still change the bootloader. With the HD2 Android toolkit 4.2.0.1 I can install cLK, Magldr, do a Task29 and repartition.
When I use the RUU installer I can install the RUU_signed.nbh that I used to get the leoimg.nbh BUT when I do it, and it does finish gracefully, on the screen that states the currently installed image THE INDICATION OF SUCH AN IMAGE IS BLANK whilst the name of the image to install is the one I am flashing.If I reflash the same image AGAIN (so I know what's on the device) the info of the installed image is never displayed.So after trying the various bootloaders HSPL and SPL and getting the same result you are my only resort.
Has anybody experienced such a problem? It is as if the the bootloader goes through a script that then starts a second "identical" bootloader (I understand that I may seem crazy) that is not capable of recognizing a leoimg.nbh. All my buttons are still working so it's definitely not a button problem. Therefore in a nutshell the question is: if I can't get the device to recognize a leoimg.nbh is there any other way to make it do so, given that I can communicate via usb without problems ?
Dear Dev's / members
I have problem with this HD2 and cannot find a solution yet!
first thing first. is this a Tmobile of Eu mobile?
i tried flashing factory RUU but after 1% it gives an error saying Radio failed.
tried flash quite a few radio's but still after 100% it says radio fail.
tried flashing from USB cable
tried flashing from SD with leoimg.nbh
no luck.
the guy was using android on it until yesterday. may be he tried to flash a wrong Rom which brick the phone. now only white screen appears.
i can go to bootloader mode but no luck in flashing any thing at all.
Looks like EU model as no logo near earpiece.
if also has white markings on call & end key that would help confirm EU.
If trying to install .nbh file from SD it will overwrite HSPL so check current SPL status in bootloader.
If still on HSPL 2.08 try flashing an NRG WM6.5 ROM & see what happens (they have no radio so if completes then try radio flash if needed, try via USB them SD if USB fails.
Do you get an error code when it fails via RUU ?
thanks for helping mr. B
the error i get is (270) and yes it have white markings on all the buttons. so its confirm EU model. by NRG rom you mean Energy Roms? i tried earlier the energy Rom but no luck. after 1% it gives error.
cannot try mtty method as i'm on windows 7 and in windows 7, it's not showing the USB port. it's radio is corrupted. i think someone must have flashed a wrong Rom.
What standard ROM have you got ? if it a 3.14 rom try connecting HD2 via USB & use HSPL4 toolkit to install HSPL 3.03 & if that installs then try the 3.14 ROM via USB & RUU.
Also eliminate simple issues such as lead & USB port by switching port & using a different USB lead.
Windows 7 64bit ? worth trying another PC & 32bit if can as WMDC drivers on 64bit can be a pain for flashing ...
windows 7 32bit. tried flashing hspl 4 and it says complete but in bootloader it shows 2.08 only. i guess gold card method will solve the problem but it's too complicated. any other suggestions?
i would search for task29 and format the phone back to virgin default then download a windows rom from htc via the downloads page on there website for the phone ,then if it works re task29 it then put android on it with the htc hd2 tool kit witch has every thing other than rom (all u need to do is task29 it then go back to the boot loader and run the ruu rom)

No do not run a Task 29 the device. I say this for two reasons, one if you flash the Stock Windows Mobile ROM via RUU the RUU will run a Task 28 before installing the ROM witch is pretty much the same as a Task 29. The second reason is that if you run a Task 29 it will remove the current ROM on the device so it will not have a working ROM anymore. If after the Task 29 you can not get another ROM installed on it the you will not be able to use the device at all anymore.
why not he thinks its bricked so there is no difference if he cant get a rom on it

No the device is not bricked, a bricked device will not even turn on at all, no vibrations no nothing.
At jacktackle, try to find the earliest stock Rom RUU for your HD2 and try to flash it. It is possible you have what is reffered to as a stuck radio.The only fixI have seen for this is to flash a older ROM version with a older SPL version. If the earliest ROM version does not work start working your way up one version at a time and you might get lucky and get one that will flash.
thanks for all the help guys. but nothing worked. tried flashed old ruu's but reboots at 1% this radio is screwed up. hspl 2.08 is not upgrading nor downgrading. sd card update not working. i guess thats it. will give it back to him so that he can showcase it
first time ever i'm un successful. bad luck! may this LEO rest in peace. 'amen'

Before you give it back you can find some of the old test ROMs for the EU or for the TMOUS depending on which version of the HD2 it is. Just make sure if it is a TMOUS that you do not flash a rom version that has a 51 radio with it. Just look at the RUU name and the radio version is in the name. If that does not work then the only fix will be to replace the mainboard cause JTAG would not fix the problem.
