Big problem with my HD2

I think it's taken a knock and now it won't boot. I just get a white screen. If I try a hard reset it gives me the text that I'll wipe all personal settings etc.
I've flashed to a duttys ROM and a 2.x.50.x radio and I'm on O2. Is there any way I can fix this as I'm guessing the ROm update voided the warrenty. As the Hard reset shows text I can see something is working but even plugging it into my PC via USB gets no response.
If anyone can help it would be a major relief.

Let it do the hard reset and see what happens. So you'll lose what ever MMS/SMS you didn't delete, the programs you have loaded since putting the ROM on, etc etc. Your not going to lose all your numbers unless they are stored on the actual phone and not the SIM card.
You could try doing a task29 on it and see if that helps. As for the warranty being voided it just depends on whether or not it can be wiped and loading with a OEM ROM back onto it with the correct HSPL before sending it back. You haven't bricked it if you can get into bootloader or hard reset.

I have tried the hard reset but no joy. It runs the reset but then on boot back to white screen. I'm not fussed about the contacts etc as it's all backed up. Have removed the SD card too.

Do a task29 on it. Flash a new radio and ROM(would suggest OEM) and then get back to us. Worst case something got knocked loose inside and it needs to go to HTC for repair.

i've encountered this lately for some strange reason ( being a flash junky) but found my way out of it.
flash your stock ROM via sdcard method, this will reset the spl to the original. (you can easily flash hspl anyway afterwards when you tire of the stock rom).

Ignore my post below. Have drained the battery overnight and this morning have been able to boot to:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPl-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
SERIAL
From here I'm hopeful I can do something.

Sorry guys - but I don't understand how I am meant to do a task29 or ROM via SD card method when I cannot link by USB/ActiveSync or see anything on the screen.

The microSD method does not require your phone to connect to the computer.
Here from the newbie guide to flashing a ROM:
Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash
This flashes your phone back to warranty status - it replaces the HardSPL, the ROM and the Radio.
Once your phone is repaired, you can always HardSPL your phone again.

I've tried using the HSPL tool to re-install back to 1.41 and other SPLs. The application says it's successful but when I restart the bootloader still reads:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
have tried Flashing ROMs and running Task29. Everytime the Bootloader switches to the updating progress bar then crashes out to Error [262].
I dont have a card reader to try from the SD card but even if I did I'm starting to feel doubtful.

are you sure, that the radio is compatible with the rom?
i'm pretty sure its the same fail.
DN41

OK - booting from FAT32 formatted microSD.
Stock ROM failed
Radio_2.08.50.05 failed

maybe a corrupt image file ? try downloading another one and see if that helps

I've tried 2 images. They get to different points at the radio install then fail. Try to get another img.

Starting to despair a little now. Trying to get just the radio on to start with.
This radio installs up to 100% (instead of about 20%) then reads:
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL
Radio_V2Fail
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I really am getting desperate now having spent almost all day working on this.

Try using the supplied 2GB microSD card that came with the phone. Sometimes there are problems with using larger cards.

Thanks for the idea however I'm using a spare 1GB.

Silly question, but it is an O2 original ROM (assuming that is what your phone originally had on it) you downloaded and are flashing and not an HTC stock ROM (ie 1.66 WWE)?

I have tried both.

I am on the same issue here. Have read almost anything i could find to fix this. Am able to change spl through hspl2 successfully but showing the same spl 1.42 hspl in bootloader. The thing is only unable to flash radio. I can flash a custom rom with sd card but after flashing when it boot up only a white screen is showing. When i try to install a official stock rom it shows that the radio v2 not installed successfully. So its probably radio problem. Hope some one could help us fix this. I tried installing a radio with the sd card and still gets the radio v2 fail. Tried installing custom rom and radio with the usb but doest go beyond 0% and error shown in the pc. HELP HELP HELP

With the steps I describe here I was able to recover the device.

But only if you follow the exact steps!
I tried many stock roms first and all were stuck on the radio.
Only the method I describe worked for me.
Good luck.

for you guys across the pond, don't you have to flash a .51 radio, not a .50 that you were using for the custom ROMs?

[GOLDCARD]Get your CID without a Winmo Phone

Iam writing this to share my experience reviving my phone ! my problem was that I flashed an official 3.14 rom with an 3.03 spl on a branded htc hd2 ! the vendor never released a rom even the first one!
So I found my selef stuck with boot loader screen ! no way to make a gold card cause I have no other winmo phone!
After some research in the net this some useful links!
1- to get your CID on a PCI SD card reader (not an usb reader) without a winmo phone!
http://jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/12/read-secure-digital-sd-card-serial.html
2- after getting the CID don’t forget to reverse the CID before using it on PSAS (how to make a gold card tutorial)
3- write the image on an SD card
http://samsamuel.co.uk/news.php?id=8
thanks to samsamuel and pcwe for there help
Ps: sorry for my crappy English lol

Well, I am stuck in the same spot! After an unsuccessful install of official 3.14 ROM on a branded HD2, it is stuck into bootloader mode with an "upgrade ROM code error, please try again message" and no way to make a goldcard! Please help! Thanks.
Update:
Finally was able to make a goldcard and unstuck my phone! The problem was with the SD I was using. Tried different SD and worked as a charm! Thank you to all forum members.

hd2 radio fail

i have htc hd2 stuck on white screen
i tried downloading the official rom from htc and flashing it in bootloader but it stopped at 0%
i tired flashing from the sd card but i got radio fail
i even tried to repair it using jtag and still the same plz anyone can help
current info:
pb81100 hx-bc
spl-1.42.0000 xe

You tried JTAG-ing it and it didn't work?
Try to HSPL then upgrade your radio.

after repairing it with jtag i cannot seem to flash hardspl it alwais hang after selecting 2.08 hspl
and when i flash radio from sdcard i get radio fail

You should've considered the JTAG as a last option

i did
before jtag i tried every thing
but i still wonder if there is something i can do
i won't give up
plz if u can help me i will really appreciate it

TBH, I don't believe that you actually have a jtag, or maybe you do but you're not very experienced in using it.
Because if you were you wouldn't have opened this thread
You have a jtag, even if you totally bricked your phone you can easily revive it

Indeed, I too am skeptical of you haveing used a J-TAG, and if you did it seems that you did it unsuccessfully. Is your MicroSD card formatted as Fat32?

plz don't ask about formating sd
and about reviving u can revive the bootloader not the radio part
and am not opening this thread to know my experience am opening it to ask if someone experience enough to help me
about the jtag i have the ort if u know what am talking about

Ok try to upgrade your spl to 1.66, and then try HSPL and then radio update

yea Jtagging is only when you "brick" your phone, and your phone isn't bricked, And hopefully won't be.

[Q] Help! Spoiled hd2. Cannot do anything at all.

I have a 512mb hd2 and today, when i reboot my phone, magldr shows fatal hit 1 and it wont boot into android or enter cwm.
Therefore, i did a task29 and flashed a stock winmo rom using usb cable. However it wont boot into winmo. It shows the htc logo and it stucks there. Sometimes it show htc logo with rgb at the bottom and it will stuck there. I never get into winmo.
Then i tried flashing the stock winmo rom using the sd card method. However, when the phone say that the process is finished, i plugged out the battery. i didnt know that i have to press the red button.
Now, the phone will only boot into the tri coloured screen and the screen shows this:
e??????u HX-BC
(upside down "e" followed by some unknown and indescribable characters followed by a "u")
SPL-142.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
I cannot do anything else. I can't flash anything at all. It will end up in an error.
When i try to flash stock winmo rom using sd card, it will say loading... , then it will say checking... then this red numbers: 0058002 will appear on top then it will go back to the tri coloured screen again.
When can i do?

corrupted modelID, (the e??????u HX-BC bit)
I think JTAG is the only way out, and i've not actually seen hard confirmation that JTAG will fix it. there certainly isn't any flashing solution that i've seen, and we've seen this problem a fair few times.
Unlucky. Got warranty?

yes, its still under warranty. Would the warranty be void?

Hi,
Unless you can flash an original WM ROM,warranty will be void.
You need to revert back to orginal... HSPL is a hack and your warranty is void.
Go to HTC site>support>download>ROM upgrade and choose appropriate ROM upgrade for your phone
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.exe
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less
and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button)
follow the instructions from there
That way you will have your original software with SPL restored and ready to send it for repair
No need for PC drivers etc.

Don't panic, faced this situation before.. create a goldcard .. follow this thread

Really? Goldcard ignores modelid? You sure? Cos that would imply that you could use a hd2 Goldcard to flash any winmo rom to any winmo phone, which you can't. I'll be interested in anyone confirming absolutely that a phone with a corrupted modelid in bootloader can be flashed from Goldcard.
@op. Yes warranty is valid If your boooader shows a valid spl, ending 0000,because you tell them you woke up and it was on the charger, hot, and in bootloader, screen on, that top line looks wrong, you tried to flash the stock rom but it fails. So long as the spl is good is usually enough for warranty.

Yes with goldcard you can put any HD2 rom on any HD2 phone, debrand .. make it chinese or whatever.

And that's my slightly sarcastic point,,,,, if the modelid is corrupt the Goldcard won't recognise it as a hd2.

I saw on the bottom Mr Samsamuel is here, he point me a lot of help to revive my HD two days ago, now my hd2 is up and running. First you failed with MAGLDR, and you did to revive with stock rom. what stock rom did u use. More info will help many hd2 guru here
I believed before you flash anything (as I understood from own experience) flash HSPL, do task29, flash Radio. Just try and let us know. alert : do not do this on Virtual Machine
I have step by step edited copy tutorial to install cLK on hd2, it also can be use to revive brick hd2 (at some level of brick) PM me I will send by email
let us have coffee

the stock rom I use is hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
but the problem is I can't do anything with my phone at all. i can't flash hspl or any rom at all...
Buy anyways i have gotten my phone back from htc and now its working. i am now afraid of installing magldr as i fear the same problem (fatal hit 1) will happen again.
I am now considering the old sd card method of running android.... (i think this is safer)
Not sure if clk would have a similar error or something... i have not try it before.
I have googled the magldr fatal hit 1 error and quite a few people have this problem but i can't seem to find a real solution to it. I remember reading somewhere that someone say it is caused by many bad blocks on nand due to excessive flashing. (not sure what this means and how to deal with it)

Since got back ur live hd2. It will no fun anymore. No singgle software 100% safe or bug free. Clk is almost same with MAG both are boatloader. Your bootloader from htc also not bug free.
Running os from sd card is slow. Its same as ur pc booting from live cd/usbstick or external hdd. That for emergency only, rescuing fail software etc. Just do everything carefully read all instruction asking forum and google. You will safe and have a lot of fun

[Q] Installing ROM's with "Security Unlocked" Phone

HI,
I am having difficulty finding at what stage my phone (HTC Surround T8788 OS version: 7.10.8862.144) is at in being able to put a ROM on it. Do I need to unlock it or do the RSPL/HSPL + Downgrade as on v4.xx thing as it says Security Unlocked so maybe it’s done ??
I got it off eBay and it has this on the screen when holding the down volume at start up:
Security Unlocked
PD26*** SS-BC (4K)
SPL-4.3 2250.0(128976) MNG
MicroP(LED) 0x09
TOUCH C1(v62)
SD SANDISK 15193MB
Partition Info-v211v413
If I could be pointed in the right direct as to what I need to read that would be great.
Basically its AT&T customised so not Internet Sharing etc so I want to put an original non carrier ROM on it (or maybe Nokia) any suggestions would be good.
I have installed Windows Mobile Device Centre and downloaded a ROM (not sure if it’s even the right one) but got lost there.
Thanks in advance for your time.
