Triangle with exclamation mark?

Hi, I just got my HTC HD2 back from repair. Before I sent it, I had a problem reflashing to stock rom before sending it in, and stock HSPL... when I turn the power on, all I get is a white triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle...i thought if i sent it in like that, they would help me restore it but they didn't....how do i get my phone to work again ]:

enter bootloader, flash a compatible stock rom. phone should be fine.
whilst in bootloader take note of what spl says.

Everytime I try to flash a ROM, it gives me the ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID error...
right now my phone is stuck on the bootloader screen...it says
HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
and if i take out my SD card, when I turn the power on, i get the triangle exclamation mark ]:

I take it its a stock rom you are trying to flash?

I'm not positive which is the stock rom for my phone. It's the HTC Leo HD2 T8585...I remember it being 1.66 but i'm not positive. I downloaded
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
still the same error :|
i also tried
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
and
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
all give me the same error :|

The Invalid Vendor ID error means that the rom you are trying to flash is not meant for your phone and the ones you are using are for a different vendor/operator/area than the one who supplied your phone. You either need to find the correct rom or else you need to install HSPL in order to flash any rom you wish.
You current spl is 1.42.0000 so trying to flash roms based on 3.14 will definitely not work as will most of the 1.66 based roms, as unless you use HSPL the rom needs to match the spl version on the device.
Try looking here and concentrate on the 1.48 or 1.43 roms
You can of course also try going to the HTC site for your area, entering your device S/N and try to download the rom for your device.

I just finished downloading and tried
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
and
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
...no luck..
i also went on HTC site..tried 4 different rom updates but when i enter my serial it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device" for all of them...
if its any help, it was like this because i remember doing something with using my SD card and taking a file and changing it to LEOIMG.nbh...

forget all that, and forget what i just sent you in PM.
you have spl 1.42.0000, so, get hspl2 (see lilnk in my sig) enter bootloader, run hspl2.exe (right click it, 'run as administrator')
choose, say, 1.66.hspl (it will automatically offer you 1.42.hspl, you can change it in the dropdown, or leave it as 1.42.hspl, it really doesnt matter)
when the phone restarts, quickly press and hold volume down, the phone will re-enter bootlader, flash a rom, any rom, over USB, so long as it isn't a 3.14 rom.
report back.

ah crap... I got everything working again after installing HSPL again before you posted...then i flashed a rom...and realized that HTC didn't fix my touchscreen problem so I have to send it in for repair...AGAIN. so I tried to remove HSPL AGAIN so I don't void the warranty...now i'm stuck at almost the same situation except it says SPL 3.03.0000
...and now i get a exclamation mark with a traingle but this time, under it, it says "Software update failed. Please try again."

well, that will be fine for warranty, because its a stock spl.
Basically, it sounds like what you just did was use hspl to flash the 3.14 rom from sd card, cos that lets the flash start, but it applies spl 3.03 which then checks teh rom and finds it doesn't match, and so fails. If hspl wasn''t there, it wouldn't let you get even that far.
So, you have spl 3.03 and no working rom.
You need your actual stock rom, not just 'a' stock rom, (im not scrolling to see if you posted it yet, but if its operator branded, you gotta get the right one) doesn't matter which version, 1.43, 1.66, 1.72, whatever. get that and flash it. USB should be fine, but if it fails go for leoimg on sd card.
Failing that, if you can get hold of another working winmo phone for afew minutes, you can probably revive it (and indeed flash teh 3.14 rom if you like) with a goldcard.
EDIT - oh, does your phone only work with one sim? if so, your first stop would be try teh branded one for that operator.

I think I'm just going to leave it if it's fine for warranty and call HTC to ask them if they can reset everything for me...i don't want to mess it up even more ]:

ahh well theres the unknown see, , cos in theory the only way you can GET that stock spl on your phone is if you have been playing with hspl (or maybe if you're an electronics engineer / 1337 mobile hacker, heh), , now if they want to be funny, perhaps they could call your bluff, , , no one has reported anything like that to my knowloedge, and it doesn't break any unauthorised software rules, so who knows.

i don't remember which one my stock rom was...i THINK its 1.66 but its not working... :\..
I bought this phone in China seperately without a contract so its unlocked/not branded.. its the T8585 model...

that's why you need to spend some time on the htc website, try to download roms using your serial, when it lets you have one, that will tell you your original stock.

When I enter my serial, they all say "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"... \:

hehe, , then you are on the wrong htc region website. all the roms are there, somewhere.
could always phone htc and ask them which is the stock rom for your serial.

Nice, okay, the 1.66 that I downloaded from Middle East & Africa-English Country on HTC site worked after entering my serial...Now I have SPL 1.42.0000 .
Now I just gotta wait another 2-3 weeks before I get my phone back from HTC ]:
Thanks for the help! Appreciate it.

[Q]Help: is this HD2 dead?

First, sorry if I post the kind of question that has been already asked 1000 times, I'll understand if my post is deleted.
here is the story: I still have an HD2, but got a Sensation almost one year ago.
Now my HD2 is still WinMo 6.5 with Android from the SD card.
Yesterday, one of my pupils (yes, I'm a teacher, and my pupils know I'm into smartphones....!) gave me his HD2 because his father kinda bricked it.
I haven't been using my HD2 or reading XDA HD2 section or a long time (I'm too busy flashing my Sensation, so reading Sensation threads ), but I thought I could give it a try to unbrick it, I'm not a noob after all (selfish guy!!!!!!!!!)
I think this HD2 was somehow bricked while trying to install Android into NAND, or installing MAGDLR, as far as my pupil can tell from his dad
So this Sensation can't boot and has this, written in the 3 colours screen
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.00 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
icroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is the state I had this HD2, unable to boot, just able to get into bootloader with the message above.
I tried to flash latest Dutty ROM (because I was using Dutty creme of the creme at my HD2 time!)
=> through USB, flash freezes sometimes at 2%, sometimes 75%
=> through SD card: it flashes, says it's successful, but the device doesn't boot, back to three colors screen, or white screen with error message if trying to boot normally
I tried task29: full of errors, not better after flashing a ROM
I tried flashing a shipped "official" ROM => same as custom ROM, says success, flashed through SD card, but never boots to something else than 3 colors screen..
I tried factory reset, said successful, but still no boot!!
I tried flashing a Radio ROM=> flash successful, but still no boot
I tried flashing HSPL again, 2.08 and previous versions: it flashes OK, can see the changes in three colours screen, but no success flashing a ROM after
I noticed that sometimes, this HD2 vibrates 7 times quickly in a row, which my own HD2 had never done, and I suppose it's a very bad signal
I'm not a noob at all, but really can't follow every thread, and tried the search function with no real luck.
Is this HD2 definitly bricked? Is there something I can do?
Sorry again to seem so noob, I would have flammed someone posting like me, when I was following HD2 development everyday, before having my Sensation (and a Moto Defy for my wife)

see the line ''SPL-2.08.00 8G XE'' (you actually mean 2.08.0000) well teh .0000 tells you its NOT hspl, its a stock spl, so nothing will flash.
run hspl 2,3 or 4 and choose ''2.08.hspl''. Flashing, task29, magldr, all that will now flash.

THANKS!
how stupide I am (or too long away from WinMo)
I had tried hspl2 that was unable to do the job, hspl4 did it
So now I have spl 2.08.hspl
...but face other problem:
task29 fails: it launches OK but my HD2 disconnects from USB as soon as task29 starts its process
if I try to flash a custom ROM (the dutty one my own HD2 is still using), via usb, same, usb disconnects (it wasn't before I flashes hspl 2.08)
If I try flashing as a LEOIMG with microSD, it feezes at about 2/3 of the process
trying to flash a shipped ROM leads to errors, back to three colors screen with "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"
...not to mention each time it replaces the hspl by stock spl
Any idea?

don't run flashes from running winmo, enter bootloader manually, when serial --> usb, run your flash/task29 or whatever. (Gorget about task29, it isnt necessary)
alternatively, if you do run it from running winmo, then once the phone has restarted and the usb has timed out, simply run teh flash program again, and dont touch teh phone, since it will now be in bootloader, and my above note takes over.

because that's the way to remove hspl, , flash a stock rom from sd. Step 1 of sd flashing is the spl gets flashed, removing hspl, the phone then restarts and tries to flash the stock rom, but now that hspl has gone it fails, since you aren't using the correct stock rom for that particular phone.
Try this, get the stock 3.14 rom ( filename will be RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship )
EDIT - you dont have a tmous, right? if you do, dont do this!)
phone into bootloader
use hspl4 to set 3.03.hspl
phone into bootloader
flash the 3.14 rom over usb.
report back.

Man, I'm on the good way!
3.03.hspl seems to be the key, when 20.8hspl wasn't
While the stock 3.14 ROM finished to download, I could run a Task29 till the end, no more USB disconnecting.
Crossing fingers!
I'll edit this post once I've tried to flash the stock 3.14 ROM
Huge thanks to you !!!!

2.x spl is not a stock spl for regular hd2's, only tmous, so whilst it does work, it does introduce the odd problem. for example you cant sd flash stock roms with 1.x versions when you are currently on 2.x.
SO, with a regular hd2, any time you wanna return to stock or are having flashing troubles of some kind, it is always worth using hspl.exe (2,3 or 4 , doesnt matter) to remove the 2.x spl/hspl.
For me, I always go back to 1.66.0000 using hspl2 before i even try to flash a stock rom. Since i choose a 0000 ending, it will be updated as required by the stock rom.
Fingers crossed it helped.

Seemed to have Bricked my HD2 migrating to Andriod, HELP

Ok I was moving over Andriod from WM65 Energy rom and started to install the MAGLDR and it seemed to load up fine! But once I rebooted, I just get the Energy ROM screen and it won't go further.
Even if I put it back in to BootLoad mode I can't get ActiveSync to connect to continue!
Any ideas?

WinMo ROMs and Android ROMs need different SPL versions. You should reset your HD2 using this step by step guide: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
You should take the latest stock ROM available, since this includes the latest Radio ROM which you need to run most Android ROMs. Afterwards I suggest installing HSPL2.08 and MAGLDR, CWM again.

Ok, I downloaded the stock rom and extracted the RUU and renamed to leoimg.nbh and did the bootloader thing and it didn't work!
What do I try next?
I know I've had to do the Task29 before when it got like this. Is that what I need to do again?

no need for task29.
there are two 'musts' for magldr to work
1 spl MUST be 2.08.hspl ONLY, no other will work.
In bootloader, does teh spl line say 2.08.hspl? no? magldr will not appear, even though it is flashed ok.
2 radio MUST be one that is compatible with the fabled 576meg ram trick, or to put it another way, it must be compatible with tmous phones, or a third way, it must be a x.xx.50. version radio, not a x.xx.51. version. Also, 2.05.50 and 2.06.50 will not work either. The one that came with your phone wont work, (assuming you don't have a tmous, if you DO have a tmous, you dont need to change radio.)
For ease, go flash radio 2.15.50
When both these conditions are met, and only then, magldr will start.
So, as you are now, ,
phone into bootloader
flash 2.08.hspl
phone back into bootloader
flash radio 2.15.50
back into bootloader
flash magldr
restart.

I believe this is my problem! A while back I mistakenly thought HSPL 3 was an updated version so I put it on. It is the SPL-3.03.HSPL. I'm not sure how to get it off and it doesn't seem to connect via activestink and it doesn't seem to wanna upgade off my card. leoimg.nbh is in root and booted in to bootload mode!
g

Just go back to the boot loader, connect your PC via USB and flash HSPL 2.08 over again. The HSPL application scans which SPL is installed and provides you the SPLs you can flash. 2.08HSPL is your choice.
Also search for radio master thread for HD2 in this forum, download and flash latest radio ROM.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using XDA App

Well, tried reloading of HSPL2 and I got an critical error bad SPL version!
I'll be searching around for this new error if anyone has a solution!
Also, if someone has time to get on Skype, I don't mind dropping down a tip!

UPDATED:
Ok, the trick was to use HSPL4 and then downgrade to HSPL2! Back on track! For now!!

You arent thinking right about exactly what hspl2, 3 and 4 are. There was no need to even use hspl2, hspl4 can set 2.08.hspl
hspl2 hspl3 and hspl4 aren't different 'versions' of hspl in the way you think, , selecting 2.08.hspl using hspl2 or hspl3 or hspl4 gives the very same 2.08.hspl, no difference. The .exe's are just loader programs, the only difference between them is the phone models and spl's each supports. so when you went to stock and no doubt ended up with spl 3.03.0000 hspl2 wouldnt work because it requires a starting spl of 2.08 or lower, as does hspl3.
using hspl4 does work, because it was released for just that reason, to support spl 3.03, its not 'better' or a higher version than hspl3, its just been tweaked to support more spl's.

[Q] Phone Locked! ... gods help me o.O

hello ... uhm, i was ... what i was!? ... well, i tried to return my phone from hspl to ospl version, i flashed magldr and android to windows stock rom, but, when i tryed to flash it from hspl to spl i did this :
- Extracked 'Ruu.signed.nbh' and changed it name to 'leoimg.nbh' than i copied it to my sd card and then i tryed to hard reset my phone ...
- The loading screan was activated and tryed to update something, but then it crashes and now i cant do anything .... i can't flash anyrom, any spl, any bootloader ... it always says that 'Software wasn't updated' (or something like that) .... it seams like its locked ...
so, pls, help me to fix this thing.... thx XDA gods ^_^

We know you're worried, but you have given no details at all,, what model hd2, what stock rom you flashed, what spl shows in bootloader(don't assume you know, check it visually again now) what exactly "the loading screen started..... crashed...blah blah" actually means.
Details details details.

oh god, how rude of me ... well, im useing htc leo hd2 t8585 and i have stock rom windows mobile 6.5 //3.14.405.2// now, but before that i had android 2.3.7 gingerbread 1.1.3 magldr and 2.08 hspl ... i sucessfully removed android and magldr but hspl remains the same .... than, i tried to remove hspl with ospl and when i try to hard reset my phone i see loading screen of ospl but then it pops 'Not allowed' screen .... like its locked or something .... and when i try to boot my phone it stucks again there and redirect me to HSPL picture (u know those colors) and pops the message 'rom update is not finished, try again later ' ... i know it sounds ****ed up

Run Hspl4 with phone in bootloader, choose 3.03.0000, flash stock rom again. If you still get errors you aren't using the correct stock rom for your region/provider.

to remove hspl download hspl2 and flash the 1.42.0000spl !!
now try to flash a stock rom !!

That's dangerous advice without checking if its deff not a tmous. LOADS of tmouses have been bricked by the owner trying to get to spl 1.x
Just cos he said its a t8585, it wouldn't be the first time a tmous user has referred to it as an 8585

[Q] MAGLDR stuck

Hello,
there are a lot of similar topic but none of them answered my question.
General situation looks like this:
after flashing with MAGLDR device is stuck on htc splash screen and doesn't respond to any button
What was already done:
- initially, device had factory 3.14.x WWE ROM with 2.15.50.14 radio. SPL was changed with DFT tool to HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR was flashed with no problems (tried it few times)
Since that didn't worked, this is what I did:
- I recall reading that if someone has 3.14.x ROM then he/she must downgrade to ROM with 1.66.x or 1.72.xx. So I did that with factory ROM, (what struct me is that the SPL wasn't changed), flashed 2.15.50.14 radio, tried MAGLDR 1.13 once again. That didn't work
- since, SPL wasn't changed with official ROM I thought this is the issue here, so I've change it to SPL 3.03 back again and flashed 1.66.x official ROM. Flash procedure did change to SPL 1.42. I changed it to 2.08HSPL with DMT tool once again, 2.15.50.14 radio was flashed, then MAGLDR. It also gets stuck on splash screen.
- Next I've read that something called Task29 will probably fix my issue. So.. I've flashed with original 3.14.x ROM and then went with the process once again but I've run Task29 tool between changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 and flashing MAGLDR. That didn't work either
Additional observations:
- I've changed HSPL 2.08 to SPL 2.08, after that running any flash procedure (MAGLDR or official ROM), will effect with 0% progress
- changing to SPL 3.03 will cure above (at least for official ROM)
- in RUU tool the previous version is never seen (on the screen when you confirm update)
Every procedure was done according to newbie guides available on this forum, I've experience with flashing other OS on couple of HD2 devices, but that is the first one that gives me a hard time.
Any suggestion what I should do next?

forget about continually flashing various stock roms, its not necessary.
forget what's gone before, do this and report back.
Phone into bootloader
connect usb, When 'serial' becomes 'usb' continue.
run hspl4 and choose 2.08.hspl
when it completes go immediately back into bootloader
flash magldr
straight back into bootloader
flash radio 2.15.50
let the phone restart.
report back.

Did that, phone had initially SPL 1.42 and 1.66.x ROM. I didn't let him boot between steps, just went to bootloader each time... and I'm still stuck at splash screen with no response to any key.

that behavour is expected when either spl ISN'T 2.08.hspl and/or radio isn't correct. The only other reason for magldr not showing up must be a faulty device.

Well... I can flash it with every HTC official ROM, and it works, calls can be made, wifi works fine, no spontaneous reboots or freezes...

Made two other observations:
1. On the device that is stuck on splash screen there is an additional bar in boot loader saying "Security unlocked", just like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501745
2. I've started to look at different boot loader screens across the net, and it seems that majority of them has HX-BC (mine has different) version after the board PB81100 name. I've also compared bootloader screen after changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 on two different devices. The values before and after CotullaHSPL were different.
What should I do now? Searching for a method to remove that "Security unlocked" string or give up since the version of my board won't be able to run MAGLDR?
My device is not TMOUS, it is 512MB device.
Edit: after some research I think that my device has NAND-Flash ROM from Samsung not Hynix, so different flash algorithm should be used. I'm now going for a low-level research. If that is the case, than I think MAGLDR needs version 1.14 ... will report later.
