[Q] Tmous or Eu? need help - HD2 General

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.

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...

Try going to bootloader - hold vol. down and press and release the power button
Then try flashing radio, hspl.2.08 and then magldr 1.11
This might help
heck i tried reflashing the radio and the hspl and the magldr all of its goes fine until when i try to install a nand rom once i do that i gets all the way to the "reset now!" and just stays there at this point i just want to get a stock winmo rom back on so i can atleast make calls this phone is my only form of communication

What is your HSPL version ? Its written on the tricoloured screen of the bootloader ? Your phone was unlocked before you tried to flash a NAND ROM ?
Try and use a task29 tool provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19 . Extract it and run it properly ( with phone in bootloader mode ) and perform the task 29. Then flash a radio version which you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 . ( I suggest 2.14.50.02 )
My suggestion is to go to bootloader-tricoloured screen ( NOT Magldr ). Flash a good radio version and afterwards go back to tricoloured screen of the bootloader in order to flash a Windows Mobile ROM ( preferably a STOCK one ). Forget about NAND ROMs until you will be sure what your problem is.

@ MAZDROID: Can you tell me the steps you did to recover your phone?
Thanks a lot.
Are you using the stock usb cable that came with the phone or some generic one?
There seems to be slight corruption while you are flashing the ROM.
Try using memtest86+ and test your computer's RAM.

Thanks for reply. I did not use the stock usb cable, but it was the same with the factory usb cable.
I got this problem when tried to install WP7, then got "fatal hit 1 error" when booting WP7 for the 1st time.
Now my phone is bricked with T-mobile logo. Tried to HSPL, fash radio, flash OS (with the stock one) by task 29 many times, but it did not work. All flash process are okie, but My phone is still bricked
Any way to bring the phone to factory settings? Need help for an advise. Thanks a lot
Is your's one of those 1024MB ROM T-Mobile HD2s?
I am not sure if the the SD leoimg.nbh recovery method works. It flashes the SPL back to Original, including Firmware, and RADIO.
If your HD2 only has 512MB ROM, then just download the Official HTC HD2 ROM from HTC's support site (If it is UK, then select UK, if it is USA, you are kinda S.O.L.)
Extract the RUU(something).exe file using WinZIP or WinRAR or 7-ZIP.
There will be a RUU_signed.nbh file, rename that to leoimg.nbh and put that in the ROOT folder of your FAT16/FAT32 MicroSD Card.
While holding the Volume Down button, power up the device.
It should detect the LEOIMG.nbh file and flash everything back to default.
*WARNING*
Make sure your HD2 has 512MB ROM, NOT 1024MB ROM
Make sure your MicroSD Card is formatted in FAT32 or FAT16
Make sure the the Official RUU ROM is v1.xx and NOT v3.xx
Good Luck!
BTW: The Stock Cable seems to have a DIODE soldered to it. Regular cable is fine, but it doesn't protect it from current back flow during charging.
I started with a task29 then flashed a new radio and then I reloaded a stock rom via usb since i couldn't get it to work via sd card. I was able to get the phone to start but i still am running into problems when flashing in general with the phone on multiple computers so part of the problem was solved but every now and again it just shuts of and i have to reflash

Thanks, but mine is 1024MB ROM T-Mobile HD2s. Now whatever I flash the phone, it is still bricking, so i think it would work if I removed HSPL and bring it to the default factory.
Any idea to do this?

I did task 29, then updated radio 2.14 for T-MOUS, but tri-color boot loader sill comes with HSPL 2.08 which means radio was still 2.08? Then I updated factory ROM ship (OS 3.4 and radio 2.14). I can not find a Rom with only OS (not including radio)
Did you get the change of radio to 2.14 in boot loader? Where to download a factory ROM with OS for T-MOUS?
Thanks
Well, this is the thing, T-MOUS controls the ROM releases. The deal they have with HTC refrains HTC from releasing or hosting any of the ROMs. So they should be hosted on T-mobile US website.
Anyways, from what I know, there are only 3 releases so far for US T-Mobile HD2
2.10.531.1
2.13.531.1
3.14.531.1 <--- DO NOT GET THIS ONE (Contains SPL 3.03 cannot be flashed to HSPL 2.08)
After you do a RECOVERY using the bootloader, you will have to reflash the radio to one that is compatible with Android, after that you reflash the radio to one that can be used by Android. Then you install MAGDLR.
I vaguely remember rumors that using a T-mobile will lock the phone to only T-mobile. If you have an sim unlocked T-Mobile, you might lock it again.
Please do so in that order.
BTW: If your phone still can get to the BootLoader (TRI COLOR SCREEN), it is not bricked, it is just not behaving. Bricked means you can't even turn it on for some people.
OMG, they are... LOL!

My phone just reborned now. Thought it was totally die when stucking with "stick together" logo. Here are the steps I did.
1) Redo exactly step by step in this post (focus on steps: HSPL, campatible ROM, hard-reset, remove/reinstall memory card + Sim)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
2) Try with different SIM CARDS for your phone. I tried 5-6 ATT cards, and only 1 works and helps to go through stick together logo. If you see these words R G B at the bottom, then you phone revives.
SO happy now! Thanks all for your previous posts
No luck
I've tried everything but nothing.
I Get the "Fatal hit 1" when I'm trying to enter AD Recovery.
I'm not able to boot it with WM stock - it just get stucked att the first HTC screen.
Anyone has an idea on how to solve this?
I've have made a few steps several times but still nothing, starting to get frustrated.
Try to flash a different size partition of cwm, see if that will get you in clock work recovery...

Thank you so so much! It worked!
This is how I did for you other guys how's experience the same issue.
I did all this with the HD2 Toolkit.
1. Wipe Task 29
2. Install HSPL 2.08 HSPL (Don't now if this is needed but did it anyway)
3. Install MAGLDR
4. MAGLDR Reperation with Partition 200MB Cache 8MB
Now I was able to enter AD Recovery and install zip from SD card.
Android is loading at the moment and now it started up!
Thanks once again!

Bricked or?

Hi there
I got an HD2 from a friend (he bought off ebay) and seems to just boot to the Tmobile sticking together logo and won't boot.
I don't think it charges as well...
there was no lines (radio?) at the bottom of the Sticking Together pink square screen...
is this phone bricked? or can I still flash a rom?
Ok try this, turn the phone off then hold the low volume botton n the power botton at the same time, n if it takes u to the bootloader then u r good, just search on how to install a rom of ur choise, good luck

Well the fact that it will even turn on means it is not bricked. A bricked HD2 will not even turn on the most it will do is flash tihe led light and vibrait a couple of times.
Follow the instructions of the above post and pull up bootloader, if bootloader comes up you can save the HD2. Depending on if you want to flash a official srock ROM or a custom ROM to the HD2 will dictate your next step.
If you want a official stock ROM then just download and flash the official update from T-Mobile.com just type in HTC HD2 update in the search box on the home page and you will find it. You will have to enter the IMEI number to download it wich you can find this number behind the battery. To flash it connect the HD2 to a computer via USB cable while in bootloader and wait for the serial in the white bar at the bottom of the bootloader screen to change to USB and the computer to show it recognizes the HD2 then run the update utility and follow all the on screen instructions.
If you want to flash a custom ROM as in custom Windows Mobile, NAND Andriod ROM, or Windows Phone 7 ROM then you will have to flash HSPL to the HD2. Download HSPL4 and flash 2.08 HSPL if hou want to flash a NAND Andriod ROM as MAGLDR only supports 2.08 HSPL. Or a Windows Phone 7 Rom, or flash 3.03 if you just want to flash a custom Windows Mobile ROM.
Now if you want a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 you will have to download MAGLDR and flash it to the HD2.
If you want a custom Windows Mobile ROM download the ROM of your choice and fladh it using the .exe or RUU wich ever one the ROM has. Note do all flashing of what I have previously mentioned via the method I mentioned before.
If you are wanting to flash a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM then download the ROM of your coice and flash it using MAGLDR and the instructions of the ROM developer in thread for the ROM.
Now this is very important. I see from the picture you have a T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2 so no matter what you do, do not flash a ROM with a radio version that reads like these 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any radio that is x.xx.51.xx they will brick/kill a TMOUS HD2.

I would recommend flashing a stock T-Mobile ROM, since that appears to be the flavor of the phone. This will install the correct radio. Once the phone is working, continue as per normal for flashing the ROM. You will have to reinstall hardspl.
thanks for the info guys! i really appreciate the support!
it seems like it won't read the USB... is the port busted?

try this:
1) download your stock ROM.
2) put it on your SD card via a card reader, you want an .NBH file.
3) rename the file LEOIMG.NBH
4) make sure the phone is off, make sure your SD card is back in your phone.
5) hold down and power
6) it should go to a tri-color screen and say something about flashing the image, hit power to confirm
7) it should flash no problems.
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ROM FOR A TMOBILE US HD2
Have exactly the same problem with my friends phone.
Its a TMOUS and sticks on the same boot screen.
He screwed it up when trying to install Android NAND on it.
I can enter bootloader And I have managed to get rid of MAGLDR and CWM.
I have HSPL 3.03 installed on it, but when I try to install the latest ROM from TMOUS it fails at 8% and tells me that
'ERROR 290: INVALID COMMAND
This update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility'
Tried copying the relevant file to the SD card and renaming it leoimg.nbh but the install fails HERE aswell with the error:
"RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail"
I managed to install an energyrom onto it, but it wouldnt go past the initial boot screen
Any help appreciated

Try running a Task 29 on your friends HD2. This willtotally clean out the NAND memory of the HD2 and reformat it, kinda sounds like that is what is needed to be done. He may have messed the NAND memory format up when he was trying to install the Andriod. You will have to reflash a Windows Mobile ROM after you run the Task 29 as it will not ha e a ROM on the phone then. You will not have to reflash HSPL cause it will not remove it.
It seems that the problem is RADIO related. I can task 29, and I can install The latest Energyrom, but I CANT install a radio.
There is no radio ON the phone at the minute it seems. When I try to do a radio install, it asks me if I want to go from version ' ' to the update I am using.
None of the installers see a radio on the phone, and trying to install the radio always fails at 96%. This would seem to be the same if I try to install the official TMOUS latest ROM with radio from SD Card. It fails at the radio install part.......
Maybe time for a new thread for this one.......

try this:
1) download your stock ROM.
2) put it on your SD card via a card reader, you want an .NBH file.
3) rename the file LEOIMG.NBH
4) make sure the phone is off, make sure your SD card is back in your phone.
5) hold down and power
6) it should go to a tri-color screen and say something about flashing the image, hit power to confirm
7) it should flash no problems.
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ROM FOR A TMOBILE US HD2

HD2 kinda broken what can i do?

Hey XDA
Hope someone out there have got some good advice. We have some HD2s where i work and i have been sent one that is acting kinda weird.
I simply can not get it to flash a rom (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_DAN_3.14.403.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) - we only use normal HTC roms. When i try to flash it nothing happens, it boots into the bootloader and just sits there at 0% until i disconnect the cable, if i dont it will sit there untill it runs out of battery. Tried a few times now and same result.
i have also just tried a restore, to see if its the internal flash rom that is broken and the restore also fails. My own HD2 restores in like a few seconds but this one just sits there again, like when i try to flash a rom to it.
So is it totally dead or is there something i should try?
Have you tried to use task29 (via computer) , then flash (via nbh) the htc rom?
hmm just tried task29 and it did nothing, it booted the phone to the bootloader but no progress screen did show up. Tried it again and the phone just shut off again after showing the bootloader for a few seconds.
beginning to think this phone is toast.
Gonna try a HSPL update later and just flash a non HTC rom to see if that works.

HSPL 2.08 & reflash original HTC ROM via PC USB.
Do you get any error codes from the flash utility ?
could be CID related but you should see error code.
Yes, trying it with HSPL seems like a good idea to me, too.
Because then you can also try other ROMs.
will try this stuff on monday - i just cba to do more work today
thx for the advice
Build a gold-card and flash from the SD slot. If that doesn't work, put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, boot the phone and try flashing again immediately in it's chilled state. If it get's ANY further, you have a bad overheating NAND and need a new main board.
got HSPL2.08 flashed and a Dutty 3.14 rom but phone refuses to reboot sometimes and boot just shows the white HTC background and does not show the radio/os versions in the bottom. So i am just gonna toss this one out, since its can not be serviced (supplier has gone bust).
But still havn't gotten any error codes from the phone or flash programs, other then "USB connection failed". So i think its nand is kinda broken now.

first, you can't run 3.14 roms on anything except spl 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
Second it isn't booting because it almost certainly needs an updated radio, 2.15.50 for instance. You probably still have a 2.xx.51 from the original stock, and so wont show rgd screen till you change radio, won't run smoothly till you correct the spl with hspl4

Put phone into bootloader manually, don't use front mounted USB ports, be sure and update win mo dev center to latest ver ..... all the usual USB connection error advice. Trying another PC with a different windows variant often helps if its available.

hmm you sure? The dutty download page says -
Things to Know how about my ROMs:
* Radio 2.15 Recommended
* HSPL 2.08 Recommended
* HSPL 3.03 doesn't support 576 RAM enabled
But i'll try to flash a 3.03HSPL and find out what happens. I did flash 2.15.50.14 radio before i flashed the Dutty rom. But gonna give it one last try.

Have tried two pc's now, both running Win7 32bit - its all we have now.
Ahhh gitcha, then the dutty rom mustnt be 100% 3.14 rom (I didn't check) it must use a 2.x base to enable 576ram.
In which case, if stock roms don't flash but custom did, it could be stuck radio syndrome, which you can test for with (correct, get it using your serial from HTC.com) stock rom flash from sd card (4gb or smaller, fat32). Look out for "rsa radio fail" or similar on screen.
Edit, oh you said you flashed a radio, and that went ok?

yeah HSPL2.08, HSPL3.03 and Radio is flashing just fine. The roms i have tried also flashes perfect its just will not boot afterwards. I can usually do a hardreset on it and it will boot one time. If you then shut it off and try to turn it on again it fails with the white HTC screen again.
I am toally clueless on what is wrong with it, so gonna try to figure out if we have some kind of warrenty left on it and get it switched over to another one.

[Q] HTC HD2 bricked, can load bootloader cant install any ROM

HI everyone,
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. He got tired of trying to fix the phone so he gave it to me. I have tried fixing it with a tool kit I downloaded in another thread here. 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.
to the rescue !!

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

The thing is that I can't get any ROM's to finish installing...in the SD card the power button does not work...and in the computer the fartest I gotten was 99% but always stops and gives me error ussualy Error 262. Ireally don't know what to do. MY friend said he took it to an Asian Guy...I noticed that the battery S/N does not match the phone...can this have an effect...I haven't been able to flash any ROMS successfully not even the debranded stock. I flashed several phones and installed many different custom firmwares but this phone has been a real challenge...I'm over 2 weeks in...Thanks for the help thus far you guys are the best...
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 can you help me.. I did the same thing.. it kept getting stuck at 0% and then i had to wait like an hour and then i tried again.. now its completely dead!
Please tell me what to do..
Thanks
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)
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1
it's revived!

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 ?
