Hi,
I am running Miri_WM65_21501_V8.2_Premium with hardSPL 1.56 and have been trying to flash Miri_WM65_21222_V10.0_Premium. When I try and flash using the SD card the bootloader starts ok and "Loading..." appears on the screen but no progress is made.
When I try flashing via the PC the progress bar appears but never gets past 0%, eventually the process times out and I remove the battery and can reboot the phone fine.
I have tried various different ROMs, including the 8.2 version that I am running and the latest ROM from Dutty and get the same result everytime. Other than the ROM upgrade issue the phone is working fine.
Any help appreciated

What does your bootloader say? SPL-1.56.OliNex?
Sorry, my mistake on the SPL version it is 1.54
The bootloader says:
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
I upgraded from 1.14 a couple of weeks ago for the Miri ROM.

If your bootloader says 1.54.0000 you haven't got HSPL or USPL installed on phone.
All you need to do is either flash HSPL or USPL before flashing new rom
I've been reading on the upgrade to 6.1 with various cooked rom, and decided to go with Tessa 4.5. Since it is required to go with IPL 3.10/SPL 3.10, i went from original ROM and upgrade one step at a time, to 1.17, 2.26 and 2.28, and 3.10 (both IPL and SPL). Then I noticed after 3.10, i cannot boot up. This is before I upgrade to Tessa, just upgrading IPL/SPL.
When in 2.26, everytime upgrade completed, reboot went fine. But after 3.10, it went wrong. I tried to fix it with upgrading IPL only to 3.14.
It still wont boot up after power down.
So I downgrade to IPL/SPL 2.28. The SPL went down, but IPL stays at 3.14, and the problem continues. I can upgrade to Onyx, but everytime I power down, i have to flash with IPL/SPL 2.28 to make the ELF boot up. When I get to the OS, i check my battery is 0%.
Is IPL 3.14 the culprit? If yes, how do I downgrade it? using elf-uspl and/or Rom Utility gives same result: IPL stays at 3.14.
Help?
Update:
i was able to flash with elf-uspl using ipl/spl 2.27/2.28.
Now i have onyx junior with the ipl/spl combination above.
But it is still having problem when I turned off the device. It won't go pass smart mobility, instead it just shut down again. I have to take out the battery, put it back in, then reflash with rom utility (with any spl/ipl below 3.0) then it would restart and go pass smart mobility and enter the OS.
What gives?
Update2:
After trying to downgrade and upgrade, I use the original HTC Touch ROM, Windows 6.0. Still the problem appear. So I decided to go with elf-uspl and get the SPL back to 1.11000 (which was the initial working setup). Then I flashed the IPL to 1.17002.
Now, with IPL 1.17002 and SPL 1.1100, everything went back to normal.
Is this mean I cannot use SPL above my initial setting? Obviously the newer cooked rom won't accept these number, as it needs to have 3.10 minimum?

I finally settled with IPL/SPL 1.19 since this is the only setting that would still boot to OS after I Power Off the device. Now looking for Win 6.1 coked rom that would accept these IPL/SPL setting...

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

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.

This worked for me...Thank you so much.
I bought an HTC HD2 FEW WEEKS BACK FROM ONE OF MY FRIEND.
I DO NOT HAVE THE HISTORY OF WHAT HE TRIED TO DO WITH IT.
BUT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK/DEAD , HE GAVE TO ME FOR CHEAP.
NOW THIS PHONE IS UNDER WARRANTY TILL AUG-2012 AND IS FROM VODAFONE.
(EVEN AFTER INSTALLING ANDROID IT IS VOID)
HE MUST HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ROM/HSPL TO GET TO THIS POINT.
PROBLEM:
When I power up the phone, it displays a NRG LOGO SCREEN (energize software), and it gets stuck on it forever.
When I do hold the power down button, then it comes up with the three colour screen and it says SPL-2.08.0000, AND also says rom update failed (only if i try to install and then start up)
The phone does connect through USB when it is on the three colour screen, but it does not let me install the rom or the spl...
I have tried literally every single step possible. I have tried to do task 29, i have tried install the original rom, i have tried to put the rom in the sd card and try it that way..
Some times after several hundred attempts, it does let me change the spl... as it was displaying 3.... before then i changed to 1.4..... and then to 2.08...
All i want to do is to get rid of the NRG SCREEN, so i could send to the htc ,, for repair ( i know that it is not under warranty if i used andriod, but they will not know) .. or is there any way to completely format the phone,,, is there any solution to install andriod or microsoft? pls help
The nrg screen shouldn't be a problem, but spl 2.x will definitely be refused, since spl 2.x is only for t mo USA hd2's.
As for "spl 2.08.0000 and software update failed",, someone tried to flash a non matching rom from SD whilst hspl was installed, result, hspl removed, stock tmous spl installed which then checks your phone vs the rom, finds a mismatch and gives software iupdate failed.
it wont boot because there is no rom to boot, it was wiped at the start of the flash.
Here's what I'd do
First to be sure its really broke (from your description there are a half dozen reasons why it wont start)
Use hspl4 to set spl 3.03.hspl NOT 3.03.0000
flash the wwe 3.14 rom from USB.
Alternatively, to make the phone warranty safe, again set spl 3.03.hspl (or 1.42.hspl or 1.66.hspl,, note that at no time am I using 2.08 or 2.10 spl) flash a stock splashscreen (several threads available)
Then use hspl2 again but this time choose the same spl but ending 0000.
Its the spl that is the real key, people have sent back hd2s with cooked roms and splashscreens, and no problems, but send a regular hd2 back with a spl that reads "x.xx.hspl " or any spl/hspl starting 2.x and they will refuse
Just cos it used to have android on doesn't mean a thing, they can't tell.

Okay...
Let me be specific
Thank you for your reply
Now it has successfully flashed the 3.03 hspl...
Now the problem is after that.. when I flash the rom I.e 3.14xxxx pr 2.10xxx it will just start as usual and when it reaches 99%, it gets stuck and then the error box opens up.. after the recovery, the same thing happens over and over again.. these are the original from but I have also tried other roms and they stuck at different %s
Help
Shame, Well, I guess the splashscreen is back to stock now? In which case remove hspl (set it to 1/3.xx.0000) and it will be warranty safe.
I have the same problem ! I have intalled the NRG Rom for HD2 Leo EU and every thing was good it works smooth, by i have download an app form Google Play "Beats Audio" with make somethin wrong with the drivers of DSP and HTC Music so i decide to re install the Rom and i fallow the steps for that i make a partitation for 200mb and then do the other steps...but at the end when i install the NRG Rom and start it for first time it freez on the NRG ENERGIZE logo saying "Please wait..." i wait for 30 min nothing... What can i do ???
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.

if what the friend above suggested doesnt work, then give us the details about your device. i have a Tmous and im in Europe and went through hell until i got it right...if you do it then flashing the rom you want is a piece of cake!

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.
