Ok, yeah..i bricked it..

So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.

phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.

Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.

Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.

get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again

yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state

Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?

So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet

What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first

Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?

ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.

Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme

What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?

All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM

I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom

Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...

[Q] How to change WP7 back to Wm6.5?

I was using ChunckyROM WM 6.5 on NAND and Android on a SD card. Today I want to try WP7 and follow the instructions to flash NAND to WP7. But later I decide go back to previous status. But with MAGDLER, how can I flash back to WM6.5? So desperately looking for help.

fixed. Found the answer at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913081
Sorry for the trouble.

Note for future : Maybe posting in the right section could help...
BTW, as stated in all DAF (utility to flash Android using MAGLDR), to revert to wm6.5 from any Nandroid, just flash a STOCK (i.e. official) rom
Plus, if i remember well, to revert to wm6.5 from wp7, just flash ANY wm6.5 rom, custom or stock, as you like ==> this is written in the DFT topic about 1st WP7 release for HD2
And remember = Google is your friend...

i tried flash stock rom. but everytime i did that, the results display connection error [260]. it says, the update utility cannot connect to your PDA phone. please check that your usb cradle/cable is connected properly between PC and your PDA phone.
check the following:
1.the pda phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable
2.the USB cradle/cable is connected to the pc.
i am now using android 2.2 from contulla and DFT NAND rom. do you have any clue regarding my case?please..

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.

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.

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

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 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;
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1; ( contains task 29, magldr and recovery and also HSPL)

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 ?

HTC HD2 Does Not Start

Hello everybody
I'm having 2 problems on my HTC HD2.
One is that the image appears to me to say "Software Update Failed. Please try again." I bought it as well.
The other problem is that when I turn on the micro USB cable the screen image fades slowly, and so when shooting is that the cable will reappear.
I wanted to update the ROM of my HTC but I can not. Because the PC does not detect USB.
I have SPL - 3.03.0000
I wish someone could help me to resolve the situation.
Graciously
John Serra

hd2 !!
it happens with this device !!
just try to start over again by flashing the stock rom !!
u'll find many guides over here on xda !!
they're just a search away !!
good luck !!

Hello everyone
Ja could connect the usb. The problem now is that when I have to install a rom from HTC logo appears and then not give any more ...
Anyone can help me?

Hi,
Can you enter the bootloader (vol down and power)?
Did you install the Windows Mobile Device centre software?
If thats it you can download the ruu from the HTC site.
If that wont work for you you need to download a .nbh rom
and put it on the root of your sd card (you can use a card reader if your usb isnt working). I recommend you install
HSPL 2.08 on your device. Let me know.

I'll report everything I've tried to do my work PDA:
- At first I did a downgrade HSPL from 3:03 to 2:08
- Up to see installed MAGLDR could install Android, but nothing. I wanted to enter the BOOT MAGLDR instalat via USB and nothing
- I installed several roms to see if I could but nothing, the official rom, roms oil etc ...
I do not know what to do, but I'll try the scene. Nbh rom to see if I can do something.
I need opinions to solve my problem ....
I await urgent response
John Serra

Okay, If you want to just install android, I think its better to use CLK. If you are looking for good firmware than you might take a look at the MIUI roms and the TBD Sense roms. There is one thing important. Did you flash the Radio rom?
Flash this and see what happens
http://www.multiupload.nl/QP0IWGY42F
To use the newest clk here is a RUU. Install this and boot with the home button and power. You can install android from there.

[Q] Tmous or Eu? need help

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.
