HD2 stuck in bootloader after WinMo downgrade - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I purchased an HD2 off eBay to replace one with a cracked screen. The seller had been running Android and had attempted to downgrade to Winmo 6.5 (no idea why) and now the phone is stuck in bootloader. I figured it was an easy fix to get it back to running Android from NAND, but so far I'm not having any luck.
The screen shows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
It looks like MAGLDR isn't functioning as I can't install CWM (USB init failed error). When I plug in the phone the "USB" message shows up and I get the sound in Windows indicating a USB connection.
I've tried a number of different flashes but all complete much too fast and upon reboot I'm still in the bootloader.
Any ideas?

Install HSPL first.

Is HSPL not installed already? It says "SPL-2.08.HSPL" on the bootloader screen.

You don't flash cwm from that screen. You flash magldr and winmo roms and radios from that screen, then when you restart magldr should appear, assuming your radio is compatible. If not, flash radio 2.15.50 and if it still doesn't start you have problems. Don't touch the spl, you are correct, 2.08.hspl is fine.

First post was SPL-2.08.JSPL, I was thinking is something wrong with SPL.

I've attempted to install MAGLDR a few times and it completes in about 30 seconds instead of the 10 minutes indicated. After rebooting I'm still looking at the bootloader.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I want to get back to Android, not Winmo

Try to flash radio like Samuel said.

I flashed to radio 2.15.50.14, which appeared to work, and still stuck in bootloader.

I have the same radio and it works.
Clean Install MAGLDR:
1. Task 29
2. Flash Radio(2.15 Recommended)
3. MAGLDR 1.13
4. ClockworkMod Recovery
5. Flash rom
If you haven't success could be a hardware problem.
Reinstall winmo and if everything works retry an android fresh install.

This sequence appears to work up to the MAGLDR flash, which flicks straight from 0% to 100% completion. After reboot I'm in the tricolour bootloader screen (even if I hold down power button + down volume).
Just to check I'm flashing correctly, I've downloaded DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF and I unrar then run ROMUpdateUtility. Is this correct?

When the boatloader loads up, it flashes once as if trying to load something else (MAGLDR I assume) and the text at the top refreshes - don't know if this is relevant

I had a similar problem after my repair. Look into my topic to see if you have he same problem!

Stock rom is running agian.
This is what I did:
1. Put USB in Telephone.
2. Go to red/blue/green flash screen using Volume Down.
3. Flashed using official HTC Rom Updater on PC.
4. Restart Device.
I have however, been scammed.
Remember those 'touchscreen-lines' that run diagonal on your touchscreen if you watch very closely?
They are not present on my device.
This is fishy.

Nothing unusall there. Its the way you get into the bootloader. To get into magdlr: turn of your device then hold down POWER button (power button only) till magldr menu shows up.

i have never opened my hd2 that far, so i dont really know, sorry. I guess you will need a screwdriver but i would look for some tutorials on google on how to open it correctly/safely.

So the only way I should be seeing the tricolour bootloader screen is by holding the down volume button? And if I'm not it means it must be stuck?
I guess the only thing to do is pull it apart then!

yes, volume down to enter tricolor bootloader.
if its stuck? not sure 100%, but very very likely.

I have this same problem. Anyone find a fix for it? Or is it hardware?

Help, I have bricked my HTC HD2 using MAGLDR 1.11

Hello all,
I was trying to get android booting from NAND instead of the SD card, I got a rom with 576ram (recommended) and installed MAGLDR 1.11. Now i cant seem to do anything with the phone, its not bricked as par say, it will show the loading screen and then not move and i can access the bootloader with voldwn+powerbutton but nothing else is happening, I cant load new roms nothing. Im pretty lost here and really need some help of how i can get my phone back onto a winmo6.5 rom so i can remember not to try it again
I posted this in this thread as it does relate to an android situation.

Find Task29.exe with no radio. It's on this site somewhere. You will see some with radios attached to them, so don't use those. Just the plain old no radio version. It will wipe your phones internal memory and you will basically be starting from scratch. Nothing will be on your phone after a Task29. Then go into bootloader. How to enter boot loader after Task29- Once Task29 hits 96% (looks just like you are flashing a rom), hold volume down and power from 96% until it gets to 100% and the tri color bootloader screen pops up. It should say "USB" at the bottom after bootloader comes up if you are plugged into your computer. Then Flash MAGLDR 1.11 again. Then flash your NAND build.
You aren't bricked if you phone powers on.
What operating system is on your PC?
Well it does boot and if you have hspl you did a good job. So if you have magdlr you now need to install Android. Read a guide plzzz!

OS on PC is....#sigh# windows vista ultimate
For task 29 do I have to have the phone connected via usb, because its not recognising it when its even in bootloader
task29.exe didnt work
Don't do task 29,you will just complicate your life even more than now. I don't think you know what you are doing.
You may brick your phone in the end do you have HSPL?

1st try entering the BOOTLOADER, by pressing the volume down power button simultaneously..!!!
Instead of TASK 29, try FLASHAHOLIC which will perform your TASK 29 & help you flash a WinMO 6.5 ROM as well..!!!
PS: - You can even flash custom ROM's, stock ROM's not compulsory..!!!

Just boot your phone with VolDown and enter USB mode, reflash MAGLDR 1.11, once this has completed reboot your phone and hold down the power button, you will then see the MAGLDR menu.
Then just follow instructions on how to install an nand rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
it might just be the magldr or NAND ROM not flashed properly. If you can get to Tri-Color bootloader you are fine.
Found out the problem, thanks for all of your help guys, it was the fact i didnt have hspl2 installed....newb points to me
I have exactly the same problem only difference with my problem is when hold vol down and power buttons all I get is the tri coloured screen and nothing else no bootloader menu appears at all.
What can I do? Is my phn dead???

That's exactly what is supposed to happen if you hold the vol down button while switching on. To get to the magldr menu you need to hold the power button in until it boots to the menu (no vol down button )
You guys are awesome!
I've been avoiding dealing with this phone for a while. This post came up first on google search. Held power and volume (mag 1.11 was on it) and upgraded it to 1.13 and now I'm golden! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh i got a serious problem
after I install MAGLDR 1.11 my HD2 it succeed and did reboot and then it did stuck in white screen with hTC green log.
What to do? It cannot connect it to the sync with computer when it is with this screen. I tried so many time to reset it (with pressing long the power bottom) but I didn’t get MAGLDR 1.11 boot menu, so I cannot proceed to the next step which is installing NAND
My HTD looks like with no operating system only with white screen with hTC green log, What to do? Any help PlZzZzZzZzZzzzz?

Do you have 2.08HSPL on your phone?
Hold the volume key down while you turn on your phone, then you will see the tri-color screen. and the hardspl you have.
I suggest you follow this
Make your you have flashed HSPL 2.08.
it can be found easily using search option
after that boot it to tri-color screen.
( hold volume down key and boot your phone)
Sync your phone with pc using active sync
then down there on your phone screen will say USB
now find
"Task29 provided by doloop"
in the forum.
use that to flash everything from your phone.
after that it will automatically boot into white htc logo screen and not proceed
(due to there's nothing remaining.) just ignore it and
reset your phone while pressing volume down key to enter tri-color screen
now flash mgldr.
after that your phone will boot into mgldr
then follow the instructions on forum about nand builds
PS/If you are using XP you have to make your when usb flasher
it says wait usb...usb(connect via active sync) then uncheck "the allow usb connection" on active syncs connection settings. then proceed will rom installers
hope this will help.

It's a simple process. If you are getting stuck at white screen the chances are you are not doing one of the first 2 steps as below.
FIRST: You have to install 2.08.HSPL (no other HSPL version and not an spl ending in .0000). Check in bootloader that you have 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000.
SECOND: You have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio (it has to be a .50 radio and not a .51 radio). Use 2.08.50.xx or higher .50 radio.
THIRD: Install magldr from bootloader by running the romupdateutility file.
I know. Please Believe I have 2.08.HSPL and 2.15.50.15 Radio installed several times without errors but same result.
Could be a HW problem? any other solution?

Potentially Unrecoverably HD2 Stuck In MAGLDR

Hi All,
For the past few months I've been running a DFT NAND build of Android. Yesterday, the phone was running extremely slowly with some odd behavior in the Android menus. When I restarted the phone, loading got as far as the DFT splash screen but then nothing else would happen.
I have since used MAGLDR (1.11) to attempt to boot a fresh Android image from SD card but this hasn't worked. Have managed to use the USB Loader to attempt to flash another NAND build (both Android and WP7) but even though the download process completed, this still didn't work and am stuck in MAGLDR now.
Have read through the forums here and have tried most (if not all) of the suggestions, however nothing seems to be working.
Can anyone offer anymore advice?
Thanks,
Kev
As MAGLDR gets removed if you flash a stock winmo rom I suggest you to try that!
Before you install the winmo rom you can also use Task29 to completely wipe the nand.
good luck
Thanks,
I shall give that a try this evening.
Kev
Unfortunately none of the suggestions have worked. I'm unable to flash a stock WM6.5 ROM as the RUU doesn't detect the phone.
The device does show up in Windows as a Microsoft USB Sync device, however.
Task 29 does not work either due to the same problem.
I've attempted to flash a new Android ROM release but when the phone reboots, it gets stuck on the green HTC logo screen and won't proceed any further.
I don't seem to be able to get MAGLDR 1.13 on the phone either, as DAF.exe complains about some "Config load failed" error.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Kev
*sigh*
you need to read up on "how to flash stock rom from sd card". no need for RUU i believe; sd card method involves copying a file extracted from the stock RUU and placing it in the root of your sd card and letting bootloader detect and flash the file. search for a tutorial or see the stickies.
once you've done that, make a special note about the part that says you need to boot into bootloader (hold down volume down + turn on phone + keep holding volume down until a 4-color screen appears). i suspect you are not doing this step, this is why windows, mtty, etc are unable to detect the device.
if you have already done the above, ignore my post
*sigh* too.
I've already tried flashing from the SD card but I have the same problem. I get to a green HTC loading screen and nothing else happens. I just get stuck in a reboot to MAGLDR and try again loop.
I've read through plenty of posts on flashing custom ROM's and troubleshooting but nothing has helped.
I don't get a 4 colour screen when holding down VOL-DOWN and the power button, the phone just goes into MAGLDR.
Kev
Just to add to that, Windows DOES detect the device but the RUU doesn't. Only the DAF applications find and can talk to the device.
follow me
1. is the battery have enough jiuce? what HSPL you use? hope its HSPL3 2.08HSPL
2. bootloader . . . .
Thanks for your post.
Plenty of juice in the battery.
I believe it is HSPL 2.08 (well, whichever allowed me to get Android on the thing in the first place)
Bootloader what?
Kev
getting into boot loader (4-color screen) is the key to the whole flash with sd card method.
keep trying. read on how to enter bootloader.
i can remember a few ways.
DEVICE IS ON
1. if phone is already on, hold down volume down (keep it pressed HARD)...don't let go of it!
2. push the little reset button under the battery cover. don't let go of the volume down button!
3. don't let go of the volume down button until the 4-color screen appears.
DEVICE IS OFF
1. remove the battery. reinsert it after a few seconds.
2. hold down volume down (keep it pressed HARD)...don't let go of it!
3. tap the end call button and don't let go of the volume down button until the 4-color screen appears.
remember, entering bootloader is the key.
EDIT: it is better to ensure you have sufficient battery. however, flashing via bootloader SKIPS the battery level checks.

in post 4 you noted you tried task 29 but was successful
you are not even familiar with bootloader, ??? makes me wonder
I'm very familiar with a bootloader, your "bootloader..." comment confused me.
Task 29 was unsuccessful. I've read in a number of posts that you can use Task 29 and start from scratch back at the original bootloader (rather than MAGLDR) but this obviously isn't the case.
Holding down the VOL-DOWN key does nothing other than get me to MAGLDR, which is what happens even if I don't hold any keys down.
I fully understand that the key is entering the bootloader, nothing seems to let me get there.

you got a bricked device,
you might get some help if you post your querry in the

I'm of the same opinion; it is virtually bricked.
The stupid thing is that if I select Android Flasher from MAGLDR, I'm able to flash a different version of Android to NAND but it just won't boot.
Will try a different forum.

[Q] - unbootable device stuck in MAGLDR loop

EDIT: I have a guess about the cause of all these issues. It looks as if the phone behaves like the "call" button is being in a pressed state all the time. If the result of the below listed steps is the same when doing them, but with the "call" button pressed, that would confirm it. Can someone please do it?
EDIT2:
Success! Well, kind of. I downloaded Copes CyanogenMod 7 v 02/04/11 [Kernel: AmeriCanAndroid HK853+] SD MAGLDR ROM. I went through all the steps, and then realised there is a rel_path set in startup.txt. I removed it, since I'm doing everything in the sd root directory (as I can't select anything in the MAGLDR menu), and tried to boot. It got past the GO!GO!GO!, and booted Android. Unfortunately, as I feared, the digitizer is not working and I can't select the setup wizard in the dialog that is presented on first boot. I now took the battery out and back in, and it seems the boot process is stuck on htc splash screen, which is shown *after* the GO!GO!GO!. I guess it's all down to hardware now.

I got this HD2 the other day in an unbootable state. When I turn it on, first I get the HTC splash screen, MAGLDR menu appears briefly and then MAGLDR 1.13 tries to boot Android form the SD card. However, there is no kernel on the SD CARD, the error about it is shown on the screen and then MAGLDR menu is briefly shown again and the same thing repeats over and over. What I tried is the following:
1) holding down the power button while booting to get the MAGLDR menu, but the same thing happens
2) pressing some buttons -> while holding down the windows button, MAGLDR menu is presented. If I press the volume down button, the loop continues, if I press the volume up button, it tries to boot Windows Phone 7, but it can't find any. If I just let go the windows button, the loop continues
3) putting android on an SD Card - I chose the BoxmaX ROM - I took all the files from BoxmaX.KS.v8.6.KH8.5.1.rar\Android folder and put them to the root of the SD Card - now MAGLDR finds the kernel, boots it, but is then stuck on the GO!GO!GO! line
4) holding the volume key down and pressing end-call button, in order to get to the boot screen and see the radio version and try to flash the WinMo ROM - I can't get to the bootloader, it never shows. Instead I get the splash screen and the MAGLDR as usual
5) come to XDA and ask for help - so, what are my options now? Is there any way to get it to work?
The thing about the phone is that it could have been partially disassembled, so maybe some buttons don't work because of it (I suspect the volume down button, but it reacts while holding the win key). The digitizer too, is probably not responding, but I can't get to any screen where I could be able to test it.
P.S. I'm a HD2 newbie, never had it before, so please forgive any beginners mistakes.
Just a question.. you prefer booting from SD or the phone?
Right now I don't care. I just want to make it do something. In general, I prefer booting from NAND.
Have you try reinstalling magloader?
I'm not at home right now, but for sure we will get this to run... I will give you one big instruction rather asking you single questions... we will start from scratch... 3 steps
Brb 4hrs unless you found your answer
Booting from nand
1. Reinstall hspl... make sure its the right one for your phone. Get in bootloader to do this.
2. Reinstall magloader... 1.13... I believe that's the one...
3. Install a DAF version of rom... then we will get clock work on there since that's the preferred way of flashing rom IMO.
Hope this help you get started... ill keep checking back on you.
Thanx for your help. See my second edit in the first post.
Unfortunately I still can't enter the bootloader, so I can't flash either HSPL, or a WinMo 6.5 ROM.
Notice you say call button seems to be in pressed mode... if that's the cause try to get that fix... to get to it you have to remove digitizer... getting that fix that will help a lot.
I never mess with SD boot so I would not know how to help you in that but if its a nand boot... I know
you might have got the wrong daf configurations or defective hspl or magldr
Have you checked your battery pins to see if one is bent slightly. one of the battery pins being bent has been know to cause boot loops. Worth a good look at the battery pins for sure....
Thank you all for the advice. I disassembled the phone today, disconnected the keypad flex cable, tried powering it on with the volume button pressed and, lo and behold, bootloader screen appeared. So, I'll order a new keypad flex cable, and try it then.

Welcome to the forum. What radio do you have? Switch on while holding volume down and tell us exactly what is on the bootloader screen. I think that is right.
For more info
my bootloader show PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0*05
CotullaHSPL 0*50
I still think it is your radio, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787

[q] htc hd2 - htc logo stuck

HI,
I tried to install Android on this phone. I fallowed step-by-step tutorial, installed HSPL 2.08, installed Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 ROM,installed MAGLDR 1.13 and after that I should get MAGLDR menu, but phone restarted and only shows white screen with green HTC logo. I tried to turn off phone and hold power button to enter MAGLDR, but nothing. A tried with Wipe and then repeat all steps above but still the same. Before on the phone was Windows mobile, but also not working. Can someone guide me how to fix this?
Thanks
You have to wipe the phone with Task29 from bootloader and at 99% of the process hold volume down, boot in bootloader again (4 colors) and then install MAGLDR v1.13. After that the only way to boot in MAGLDR is holding power button when you see Go,Go,Go and should boot into it. Repeat the steps, there is no other way and if not working you do something wrong. Remember to have full battery. Try mine, maybe you are lucky.

I tried, everything done with "succesfully". After installation of MAGLDR it's not showing GO, GO, GO and not showing RADIO and other stuff written with red color in lower left color, just white screen with green HTC.
Can I use something else then MAGLDR?

No, something wrong there and I telling you, this is the only way. Flash again HSPL4 and Radio, different one like 2.12.50.02_2 even if have nothing to do with the problem. Do you use ToolKit? Don't use that, flash separately all the steps. Take off SD and Sim card from the phone. If you stuck in logo because you do something wrong or the phone it's faulty but I never saw that before.

Is there any problem that in three colors screen on top is written "Security unlocked"? I don't use ToolKit, although I have it. I am doing all separately.

Security Unlocked? Never heard about that and no way this happen on HD2. When you are on bootloader on top should be written the type of the Chip, Cotulla HSPL 2.08 only. Anything else is just weird. It's your HD2 branded?

Yes, it' branded. I attached my screen
I tried with different radio rom and then I installed MAGLDR again, but same thing, just white screen with htc logo

There is no difference then. On bootloader did you installed and is written CotullaHSPL? How do you installed MAGLDR? In MAGLDR you execute ROMUpdateUtiliy.exe? If you did then you should boot into it. To me the problem is you don't know ow to boot into it. Try keep pushing call button instead of power button but for me MAGLDR is not installed on your phone. I remember well when I installed MAGLDR I don't have to even push power button because it boot automatically. Did you performed Task29? Between this options you making some mistake.
BTW, I worry if your phone is not locked permanently. This kind of job doing the carriers of your phone but on HD2 to me is impossible.

I uploaded image of my screen in above post. It's written CotullaHSPL. I started ROMUpdateUtiliy.exe, and I turned of antivirus and firewall. Every time is "successfully". I done this already on my old HTC HD2, it should boot automaticaly or should show GO, GO, GO screen. It tried with holding power, holding call button, but nothing

This is firs time I see a problem like that on HD2. Try then instal MAGLRD from Toolkit, it's a last chance, should be no difference but maybe toolkit do something magic. If I know something I will let you know.

Do have other version of radio that you can upload or links for them? Seems that MAGLDR isn't going to start because of version of radio. I have Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
