I did not, i flashed some wp7 roms again and again,stayed with yukis rom, and then updated manualy from 7004 ro 8107 which seemed to work this time around.

way you choose Yuki? why not choose one of full unlocked ROM?
also dont forget, Yuki ROM lock sdcard... if you want to change ROM or back to Android you must unlock card first...

that radio has killed it. You cant get into bootloader, so the above wont help.
Unlucky.

It's not that its about luck is about reading which ROM is compatible.
Sorry about your brick.

Thats why its always important to read the stickies and the 'for noobs' postings before flashing. They stress it so many times but yet there's always someone who just doesnt read. Or if they do read they dont understand and flash anyway.
Preaching wont help you any now.
Try contacting HTC and see what they say.

words to live by
Lets cut this guy a small break... based on his relatively poor spelling and grammar i don't think he can even read English. It's amazing how he got it to flash in the first place.....
That was a funny one
no have to do with read english i dont not english and i flash everything and i have android on my hd2
I had the same thing happen to me. I downloaded hspl but didnt notice that there was a difference between the leo and tmousa roms. Anyway i installed a rom and it bricked my phone. I have HSPL 2.08 installed. Does this mean i can just retry a different tmousa rom (by sd card or usb??) and im ok?
Or am i screwed too and have to go to a early version?

if you just flashed a rom, you are fine. Boot into bootloader, and flash a compatible rom. Its only radios that kill the tmous, and most custom roms dont include a radio. Its mainly the non tmous official roms you need to avoid.
so basically thats what ive been doing. i put a nbh file into a sd card and load bootloader. It doesnt seem to do anything. I found on you tube that i have to rename the file to leoimg.nbh?
do i have to do this or do i just throw a compatible nbh file and it should autoload in bootloader. Also is there a way to install 2.13.xxx the lastest tmobile stock rom from bootloader? All the ones i have been able to find are in .exe format and want me to have my device be active synced. I tried putting those on a sd card and flashing like that but i didnt do anything.
the funny thing was i really did try to flash a radio from a leo at first but it did not work after 5 attempts. Then the chucky rom finally did the trick.
Now i cant seem to flash from sd card. I dont think i know the process.
no need to flash from sd card, just go into bootloader, plug in teh usb, wait for 'serial' to become 'usb', run customruu on teh pc.
Whilst in bootloader,. check what it says next to 'spl', the number there should end '.hspl' and not '.0000'
damn im trying to install the nibbey rom but it doesnt work. I got it to go to 7% max one time and now its always 0% when i retry. I put the leo_customruu in the same folder as the nibbey nbh. and then start the customruu! is this the correct procedure?

Yes it says hspl not 0000. Also i think my batter is below 50 percent now with no way to charge it. im starting to be believe that might be the reason it stopped at 7 percent and now the more i retry i get 0%.
also i am not able to get a active sync connection anymore with my device stuck in hspl bootloader. So the whole usb rom flash fails every time. Someone help i need my phone tomorrow.
i got it fixed! turns out i needed a 2gb sd card and it worked perfectly to install a custom rom.
I will buy your brick from you dude.

Ridiculous Screen Freezes in Android/WinMo

So ive been using darkstone froyostone v3, with no problems what so ever. I was on the 2.12.50 radio and i installed 2.14.50 then I installed hastarins v7 because i wanted to overclock my cpu and i saw that overall it was a newer kernel, i replace darkstone kernel with hastarins and have been running it for 2 days. But now today for some reason when my phone has a screen freeze, its stays frozen for a really really long time. So i do a soft reset and now im in WinMo and my screen is still frozen... I do a couple more soft resets pulling out the battery. And nothing is working. I do a task29, re install chuckydroid rom and re install my old 2.12.50 radio. And still THE SCREEN IS FROZEN....
If anyone has had this problem and figured out a way to fix this can you please help me.
try running hspl and put it back to stock 2.08.... then see if the freezes go away in winmo. it should since your phone is back in stock

Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. If you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

yup! no problem.
your problem could be the same as mine.
I put on the new Hastarin R7.1, and the scrolling was atrocious and it really made the builds a lot worse than they probably were.
try changing back to the darkstone kernel, or a different one that has OC and UV etc, there's definitely a few out there, you just gotta search
hope this helps!

yeah it was his kernel that ruined my phone, but, its far worse for me, as i cant even touch my screen in WinMo, ive done everything to reset the phone, and still no luck, my last hope is to install the stock rom, but i think its some kind of issue with the hardware now..

I was using darkstone froyostone, i always change roms, try new radios, and try new kernels, i never had any issues reverting back to different roms, and NEVER had an issue that persisted in WinMo.

[Q] - Phone going in for repair...

My Leo's touch screen finally died on me over the weekend, which I guess is a good run since launch till now. But anyway, I am getting a replacement phone and got to send this one back. Now it has android loaded onto the nand and I am not to sure they would be happy to get it back like that, so should I just go get the newest update off tmobs website or someone got a link?
Can I reflash the stock rom without needed the screen, if I remember back then you just plug it in and run the exe and it did the rest?
Also is there anything else I should do before sending it back?
If you are using a t-mobile HD2, then yes, you may flash the newest t-mo stock rom. Do it from your sd card if you want to remove the HSPL. But you can also remove the HSPL through Cotulla's HSPL 4, just run his exe and choose the latest SPL.

Thanks but how do you run it from the SD card? I normally just use cwm for flashing roms, and I want to just purge the phone clean. Then I got to pull up all the info to reflash my new one lol.
Don't remember lawl. Just search it up, there's bunch of other threads asking the same question in here. There's one right now in general.

[Q] Flash back Win7.5 without to stock 6.5 first?

Hi,
I originally have flashed WP7.5 Mango and Android 2.3.5 SDrom, which worked perfectly. However, after I flashed MIUI rom, can no longer boot into WP7.5.
I would like to fallback to dual boot, please does anyone know if I flash the Mango again, do I need to flash the stock WP6.5 rom first?
regards
Mat

i've never had too.. i went from sd-android straight to Mango.
I'm back to Android now cause for me the battery life of Mango is terrible..
Same here. Couldn't be bothered going all the way back to WM6.5, so from Android in NAND just straight flash, then unlock and Gingerbread on SD. Never was into MIUI. Had 2 cards die on me, one within a week, another within 2 weeks, couldn't get the hard reset to work with the new card, so had to reflash. As it is it takes well over an hour-odd, just couldn't face the whole process. No problems or bugs some complained about.
HOWEVER, if you do get WP7.5, you will have to re-do the whole SD install after you are done, e.g. you won't be able to flash Mango while keeping your existing MIUI.

[Q] Should i buy this phone?

Hello, I'm new here and I'm about to buy a HD 2.
I could get one for 100€ but the seller says, that it hangs on htc logo but it is possible to get into the bootloader.
Is there a risk, that it's broken or something similar? Should i ask him something to make sure, if it's broken or not?
Thanks.
There is always a risk with buying second hand goods, the chances are the phone has already been toyed with and flashed to a point where either the wrong spl or hspl was installed for a specific ROM or maybe it they tried to install Android but got it wrong etc, Personally if you have time on your hands to try and rectify it then go for it, But unless you know what you are doing then I wouldn't bother with it.
Thanks, should i ask him, which H/SPL Version is installed?
The seller says, that he got the hd2 from a friend, who tried to flash a rom but it failed and they had no effort to "repair" it.
So do you mean, that there is finally a chance, that the device or/and the NAND is broken?
A friend of my bought a HTC HD2 recently and got flashed Android onto it. The only problem he has is that with Android he gets quite poor batt life. So if you are a heavy user, keep this in mind
Thanks.
The only question is, if the HD2 is broken.
I hoped, that you guys could except that.
Stuck on HTC logo is for example when you install sense rom and choose one of two options about apps on SD. They have done something bad during the install, or bad HSPL. The best way is to download from this forum Windows Mobile rom (no matter which, but best should be stock), flash it in bootloader (PWR+Vol-) via SD card. Then everything is default. And you can start flashing android step by step. It is not easy to break that dev, trust me I have it for 2 months, and it is still alive For a smartphone it is long for me I am using Dorimanx rom, and when you don't surf a lot of web, then it is OK for 2 days (battery life). When you use it much, then about 1 day (phone still looks for network, under ground).
Okay these are good news.
But don't you think, that a Tas29 would be better as first?
Oh and do you think, that selling my HTC Blackstone/Touch HD for the HD2 is a good deal?
I think that the system specifications of the Touch HD are not good enough to get sometime a good anroid nand rom. I tried the only nand build yet and I'm not very convinced.
EDIT:I asked the seller, what is displayed on the bootloader screen to get known of the H/SPL version (, right?).
I hopo to get a answer from him very soon.

I have never done Task29 and I have fast and stable rom. I even don't know what is this Just flash stock rom via SD in bootloader. Then during android install and all these HSPLs you can do Task29, but it's not necessary I think.

OK, but that is not important if you will flash windows onto it. It should be 2.08 HSPL for android, on other it doesn't work.
Okay thank you.
So can I finally buy it without risks?
How about prepare a SD card with leoimg.nbh first, then test it immediately when dealing? (If you are not buying it on ebay, i mean you go out and meet the seller, instead of shipping the product to your home)
My guess is it's foobarbed, if easily recovered then it would be done & up & running.
Is it EU or TMOUS version ? It is a big risk but as mentioned above if can physically meet & test device a little could reduce risk.
If a blind sale via eBay forget it unless you can afford the gamble or have use for parts ...
Buying used HD2s listed as fully working is risky enough & anything listed like this is normally scrap hoping for a gambling punter ! ...
Good idea! He is 25 kilometer (15 miles) away from me and it is cash only.
I hope, that he allows me to flash.
A official winmo rom would be the best, right?
How should i proceed? Flashing the rom and then testing if it works? or less?
Where can I get one, which will work with SPL and/or HSPL?
Thanks.
EDIT: @ Mister B: What does foobarbed mean? I'm not that good in english. The HD2 is EU and as above it is cash only so i hope that I can test it.
I don't know what does it mean too. Flash rom (Any WM6.5) but best would be stock, and boot it When it boots ok, then all right. But check Wi-Fi and these stuff if you want Stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
Check if the touch is ok, and battery if is original etc.
Prepare a SDCard with a suitable rom version(ask for the seller which region of that HD2, and download the corresponding rom)
rename the exe to .zip
open the zip file, extract RUU_signed.nbh to the root of your SDCard
rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh
When you want to test the phone, insert the sd card, boot into the bootloader, do:
Hold VOL-, press the power button(hold both button)
Now, HD2 should powered up, it should tell you to:
"Press power button to start update image"
Press the power button, then start update
When the update is completed(with NO ERROR), restart the phone and see if the phone turned back to Windows Mobile 6.5 and all function are working.

Thank you. I downloaded the rom for my country and then i extracted ruu_signed.nbh from the .exe file.
Now i need to rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it over to my micro sd card?
Is this right?
EDIT: Thanks hopkinskong. You were faster
Yes, that's right
Tips from me:
1. SD muntn't be partitioned, and must be foramted before copying leoimg.nbh
2. Watch out with time you hold these two buttons, because Vol- cancells update, so holding both, it will choose cancell, and it won't update. So just after the bootloader appears, immediately unpress the buttons.
Yes, thank you
I think, that i know that steps from my touch hd, so it shouldn't be a problem
If it has HSPL installed I would of first tried flashing a custom ROM such as NRGs WM6.5.x builds.
By flashing from SD and using original Rom you will overwrite HSPL & if then ROM is wrong vendor version you will have hassle.
Try keeping HSPL if it has it as can make recovery options less difficult.
"Foobarbed" is slang english, means broken, my bad & your english is very good ...
