Update: Maybe stock rom is not flashing because i'm not getting the correct ROM for this phone?
Could someone PLEASE help me identify the correct stock ROM with the below serial number of the phone?
Hi Xda gods,
I shows me as a noob because i forgot my old account password!
Anyway, I have with me a friend's EU HD2. Details as follows:
HTC HD2 T8585
S/N: SH06KNW01615
The following are the problems with the phone:
1. I think he had someone try to upgrade the radio on the phone WITHOUT HSPL first because it used to show a 'software update failed, please try again' msg when turned on.
2. Installed HSPL 2.08 successfully and tried to install radio version 2.15.50.** and that didn't work either. got an error 264 i think which said 'this update utility cannot be used on your PDA'.
3. Read in many threads that a possible solution could be to flash back to a stock ROM that came with the phone via SD card method but after abt 3% i get an error saying 'radio v2 FAILED, LEOIMG.NBH FAILED, Update Failed'.
4.Used Mtty and followed the steps..set value to 14 0, task 29, task 8...and then flashed a custom rom through SD card...
5.The cutom rom flased fine but now phone is stuck on 'HTC quietly brilliant' and does nothing else.
Could one of you brilliant minds PLEASE help me solve this problem? i tried for more than 7 hours yesterday but didn't get anywhere...
thanks in advance!
Custom ROM did not have a Radio included so expect trying a Radio such as linked in my sig may be worth another go.
If problems persists could be memory issue or other hardware issue.
Thanks Mister B for the quick response..
I tried flashing a radio before flashing a custom Rom but got the same 'This update utility cannot be used on your PDA' error..tried radios: 2.15.50...2.12.something..even 2.08.50 but all with the same error...
You try radio after flashing ROM ?
What custom ROM are you using ?
Try to flash official ROM. It will update your radio.

"stuck radio" - pretty common error, with varying symptoms. Yours is the standard set of symptoms, , , everything flashes except radios, nothing boots (because radio is corrupt and cannot initialise, i presume).
Other variants are
- spl/hspl appears to flash ('we hacked it' when running hspl.exe) but doesn't change
- radio wont flash but custom roms WILL flash and boot (radio is stuck but not corrupted)
- spl and radio are both stuck and won't change.
Sadly, there are very few success stories regarding this error, however there are one or two, so don't give up hope just yet.
Primarily though, you need to find the correct stock roms, , tried contacting htc support? that's where i would start.
Then, once you know the correct roms to use, get all versions (i.e the 1.42, the 1.66 ((or 1.72 if its branded)) and 3.14) roms for that region/carrier, and try flashing them from sd card. There have been one or two occasions where trying again and again just suddenly works, and there are one or two more where using the freezer trick makes it work.
If your spl is currently 2.x then you need to change that,,, 2.x is NOT a stock spl for regular hd2's, only for tmous hd2's, and it can cause issues as it doesnt like being downgraded, even by sd card flashing. In which case, use hspl2 to set 1.66.0000 and go from there with the sd card flashes, , start with 1.42.
Mainly tho, prepare for bad news, that way when you've exhausted all possibilities you wont be as disappointed, and if it DOES suddenly take, it will be a bonus.

Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, HSPL flashes fine..after the 'we hacked it' screen i go into bootloader again and the HSPL has installed.
With custom Roms, they flash fine but stay stuck at the boot screen and nothing else.
Tried every possible method even with Mtty but to no avail! No radio will flash!!
I'm currently on 2.08 but i will downgrade to 1.66 or 1.42 like you said and try again..
It was a branded htc but i installed HSPL..should i still try only stock roms or custom roms are fine?
Also, i saw in someone's post that their bricked HTC was brought back to life using the Goldcard method with dutty's Rom...maybe i can try this method.
Will let you guys know how it turns out.
Excuse me "hijacking" the thread with a question - I've been through this and another long thread about "stuck" radios and not seen a definitive answer (perhaps there isn't one).
In which part of the phone's firmware does the "carrier lock" reside, and what form does it take, is it in the bootloader, radio rom, or main firmware?
I've just purchased a second hand carrier locked HD2. I don't specifically want to unlock it as my sim matches it, but I have installed hspl, using hspl4, with a view to playing with ROMs, and wondered how far you can go without unlocking.
I'm quite used to flashing roms from previous unlocked HTCs I've owned, but I've never had a carrier locked phone before, hence the question.
You can flash away as normal, Carrier SIM lock makes no difference but for the cheap price of HD2 unlocking it may be wise to get a code & unlock it know rather than perhaps the future.
Thanks. I might well take your advice on unlocking bearing in mind the minimal cost.
Still puzzled, as a few of the queries I've seen seem to suggest the problems flashing different radios some folk were having were down to the phone being carrier locked. Or, maybe it was just a case of certain radios only working with certain firmwares (and maybe with certain spls) and nothing to do with carrier lock at all?
Sorry for my apparent ignorance on the subject!

you have a regular hd2, therefore all radios will work on your phone, , but with some caveats.
If you intend to
a - use wp7 or nand android..
b - use a custom wm6.5 rom that unlocks the 576mb ram
then you MUST have a tmous radio - which translates to - you MUST use a radio with ..50.. in teh version.
i.e 2.07.51. will not work, 2.07.50 WILL work.
ALL radios will have either 50 or 51 in that third set of digits, if a radio doesn't, dont download it, go find another one. (some radio downloads may show the protocol version first, so it may say something like ''15.32.50.07U 2.07.51.22 2'' in which case its a 51 radio
Many people (myself included) find that some radios give slightly better reception and/or battery and/or less wake from sleep issues than others, however its not consistent, , what works well for one hd2 may not be the optimal for the next hd2 in the same location.
In general tho, most people seem to have settled on 2.11.50, 2.12.50 2.14.50 or 2.15.50.
(For simplicity, go flash 2.15.50 and you can forget about it till you've got everything else working)
Dont bother going lower than 2.10, theres nothing down there thats any better than those four.
As for the radio brick from flashing the wrong radio, thats tmous hd2 only, you can ignore that.
Carrier being locked will have no effect on anything you do, though you cannot unlock it under android, you need to be running winmo 6.5 to enter an unlock code and make it stick.
(Reports on this vary slightly, some people say they have successfully entered a carrier unlock code under android, , , i'm sceptical)
Big note - - - Anything that refers to a tmous, or a tmobile hd2, or a tmobile radio, , does not apply to you, just because it may be t mo provided, or locked to tmo, or running a tmobile branded stock rom,. its still a regular hd2 you have (well, assuming you didnt get an import from the states? it would say t mobile under the earpiece, and have red and green end/send keys if its a tmous). Only t mobile usa bought a different version hd2 from HTC.

Don't be! Sceptical, I mean... They're right!
I've managed to unlock by code a few TMoUS-version HD2s under Android(various versions, I don't remember...)!
Unlocking by wires is another story: it can be done under WM, only!

Thanks so much for all the nuggets of info. I actually have radio 2.15.50 already, so it can't be bettered and is ready for android if I decide to go that route.
The info relating to Android and carrier lock (that it doesn't make any difference unless you want to unlock) is also very useful.
From what you've said it seems carrier locking has very little effect on anything other than, er, choice of sim
So, sorry to be persistent, where does the carrier lock info reside in the phone? In other words, when you unlock a phone, officially or otherwise, where are the bits of information which change? It's purely out of curiosity - I need to know these things
Sorry, no clue, I'd suspect some dedicated chip somewhere, since its not affected by anything we have access to. Just a wild guess tho.

The SIM lock is part of the bootlaoder, more specifically the IPL. This is what only Win Mo ROMs can be used to SIM unlock a HD2 because only Win Mo ROMs can actually communicate with the IPL of the bootloader. Now let me go a little deeper, like Samsamuel said it is more than likely a seperate chip somewhere on the mainboard of the HD2 that actually stores the SIM lock but only the IPL can access and change the data on that chip.
Thanks to you both for the info. That would explain why being network locked has almost no effect on anything else like ROMs etc. The actual info might even be stored in flash in the chip which "drives" the sim.
I think the problem could be somewhat overcome if i knew which would be the correct stock rom for this phone! Its quite maddening!
My phone's serial starts with SH which i know is Shanghai, China but i haven't been able to find a 1.66 stock rom for this..
Thoughts?

Fone HTC support, they'll tell you in seconds.
Also, there are no branded 1.66 roms, ,, because branded 1.66 roms carry the verson number 1.72.

I won't bother with the exact history of things but I'll tell you what's on the phone and what I can't get to work.
SPL-2.00. 10000 XE
Radio 2.06.50.04
ROM Leo lite 2.6 WE (21892.5.0.89)
Current ROM works until I try to do anything involving phone radio and then it just locks up. My radio is not up to date for this ROM I assume.
Trying to flash anything at all via LEOIMG microsd card does nothing but sit at the Loading.... screen with never any progress. (I have also tried this with a goldcard that somebody made me and I get the same error.) Have used both a 16gb card and a 2gb card, all formatted to fat32
I am unable to flash a new ROM or new Radio or get the SPL to allow any OEM ROM/SPL package to install via SDcard.
Trying to flash anything with the standard flasher tool and it never did anything but time out. SSPL used to work but now it does nothing but time out. I'm stuck on this ROM, can't change it and phone doesn't work.
What I would like to do is get HSPL back on it, the most current radio and the latest US T-Mobile ROM
If you can help me do this I will pay $25 for the person to help me get it off my phone. There is a chance my goldcard could have been made incorrectly, I don't know anything about them. I can pay you via PayPal or mail you a check, whatever works for you. All I can do is give you my word that I will keep my end of the deal. I'm a 44 year old family man and a department manager of a casino. I would really appreciate any help.
If I posted this in the wrong place please move it but I'm at wits end and just want my phone back to normal.
Edit: Just to be clear, the $25 reward is for getting the SPL 2.0 off of my phone and/or getting me upgraded to the latest radio so I can run the most current TmoUSA ROM properly.
the problem appears to be that you have slightly different hardware to every one else.
didnt realise you were having issues with sspl, that at least should work ok. by time out do you mean there sspl boot screen appears burt nothing else?
if so what happens if you disconnect the usb cable and plug it back in?
if it changes to usb then rerun the sspl without changing anything on the hd2
you could also try - and uninstall the windows drivers for the qualcomm cdma drivers or whatever they are called on you pc. and reconnect in boot loader to let them reinstall.
SSPL used to work, it stopped working after I flashed a newer rom to play with. When I use the SSPL it goes into the bootloader screen just fine, then I hear the USB disconnect sound and the SSPL program times out quickly with the exit button citing no connection.
I have 2 x Windows 7 64 bit computers, 1 x Windows 7 32 bit and one XP 32 bit computer. I get the same results on any of them. All after the most recent ROM upgrade.
I have not tried running SSPL from boot loader screen, did not know that was possible. Trying that now. Just need to download a known working ROM.
If that works I'll be back in the same boat as before, stuck with 2.0 SPL and 2.06 radio. I want that SPL 2.0 off my phone badly.
OK, trying SSPL from the bootloader screen got me a little further towards ROM flashing. I can see the htc on the black screen with the progress bar. It now sits at 0% with no movement indefinitely.
Going to try another ROM and see if I can get the ROM installation to actually begin.
If you still haven't tried it do this: start SSPL when you hear the USB disconnect sound remove the USB cable (either from device or PC) and then connect it again! this should allow the SSPL to enter USB mode! I've had similar problems long ago and this trick was doing the job! Not sure that it will help you but just a thought!
Newb here:
I had something similar. I installed HSPL and everything was fine thereafter. The radio wouldn't flash any other way, in fact it would disconnect like you said, or if I manualy took the phone to boot loader, it would stick at 0%.
There is a HSPL thread stickied in the ROM section and I believe it explains how to remove it if you need to "re" validate your warranty. Although reading once more it does say you need SPL 1.42 to get it to install.
Have you tried installing an official HTC ROM downlaoded from their site? This will take you back to the original SPL version 1.42...
I don't have HSPL on my phone, I have SPL 2.0 Nothing is out currently to remove a later SPL with the exception of flashing an OEM full package ROM through the sd card but that doesn't work for me.
I have tried multiple roms now using SSPL from the bootloader screen and none will move the progress bar past 0%
Still stuck. : - (
Have you tried to hard spl it? If I missed it in your post, I apologize.
Not in a long while, I should try again I guess but I was totally under the impression that HSPL will error all the time unless you have SPL 1.42 installed on the phone.
Edit: Just tried and it errors because SPL 1.42 is not on the phone, it's the only SPL that HSPL works on as far as I know.
balane have you tried installing a stock rom from your SD card? this would revert the spl back to 1.42 and allow you to then flash HSPL (I think, almost certain) but you said you cant do anything with the sd card, have you tried that? have you tried with different SD cards? also have you made sure that it is formatted to FAT32?
Another thing you could try if all else fails: MTTY, look at the MTTY thread by MystikGenius, its stickied in the rom development section, this will format your phone from which you can then try to flash from usb or sd. I would recomend trying to flash from SD which then again may revert your spl.
Im going to school now so I wont be able to help you anymore 8 or so hours, but PM me later if your still stuck.
I may be wrong but from what I read in the threads I thought it was not possible to go back to anything under 2.0 once you flash a 2.0 SPL. You can't flash back to 1.48 or 1.66. You might be able to flash the new TMOUS which is in the 2.0 SPL range.
Yes, I've tried dozens of stock roms from the sdcard, every one I could find in fact and they all hang at the Loading... screen. As stated in the op, I used two different cards both formatted to fat32. I guess I could try a third card, not sure if it's worth a try or not.
I looked at MTTY but that doesn't do a thing with SPL and my SPL is the root of my issues.
Update: I finally did find a ROM I could get flashed via SSPL. It took like 3 tries to get the progress bar going but it did get installed. I can't even recall what series of events got it to go but at least my phone turns on and works.
Still the same SPL and radio though. No change there.

I could have swore I read some people who were able to get the SPL 2.0 off their phones but I could be mistaken. I'm actually ok with any SPL as long as I can sspl different ROMs. I just want to get the radio current so I can run the latest TmoUS ROM, I would totally and 100% pleased with being able to update the radio. I have found now way to flash a more current radio.

No it won't be SSPL as we know it, the HTC stock ROM you can download from their site (Google "HTC HD2 DOWNLOAD") will use it's own method of getting onto your device and will reload SPL 1.42 for you. Although apparently you may not be able to do this with SPL 2. You say you have done it with a gold card, have you tried the stock rom downloaded from HTC via USB?
Otherwise, pester bepe for when the HSPL comes out that is compatible ywith SPL 2!

When you say oem, do you mean just the nbh with which you have tried to install using tools or the self extracting exe that HTC provide? I'm just asking cos to me, oem means it comes without all the manufacturers extras.
I've always been under the impression that the only way to downgrade an SPL was to install a complete OEM package ROM/Splash/Radio/SPL as a LEOIMG.nbh from the root of the SD card. I've tried dozens of these both from US based ROMs and abroad. None of gone past the Loading.... screen. I've tried 1.42 and above ROMs, no luck with any.
Hello.
This is my first post, so please be kind to me!
I've spent the past few weeks trying to get my head around what to do in order to flash my HD2 which is on the t_mobile network
The original rom 1.43 i think is driving me crazy and I now dont care if I change the rom and it invalidates the warenty!
In order to HSPL I need to SPL first, but will my device allow this?
I've read through so many threads that I am completely confused and dont know which way to turn, never mind which thread to re-read.
Can someone point me to the sspl, HSPL to upgrade to 1.66
Thanks
Glyn
oh its the 512 version
you are over confusing yourself.
download hspl 2
instal it - choose whichever hspl you like (may as well go for 2.08.hspl)
flash whatever rom you like from usb. (don't forget to flash a compatible radio either before or straight after.)
Thanks for your reply......
so downloan the HSPL from here?
'forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477'
and as I run the program I'll get the option of which version to install?
What should I look for to make sure that the radio is compatible with the rom?
Thanks again and sorry for my ignorance
Glyn
best thing you can do is to read a lot. No need to do enerything in one mad dash.
get HSPL2 from HERE - end of the first post (but read the post, dont just skip to download, )
run it as administrator (right click, run as administrator)
for best results use a usb port on the back of your PC (i.e one directly on teh motherboard, not an external usb slot) it will ask what version you want to install. just go for 2.08.hspl (not 2.08.0000) and let it do its thing. the authors say you should match the version to the rom (so 1.43.hspl for roms that are 1.43 or 1.48, 1.66.HSPL for 1.6 based roms, etc, but it isn't critical, most will run on any HSPL, so dont go changing every time you flash a new rom, no need. If it doesnt work then change it.)
As for radio tips, a radio with .51. in the number, (eg 2.09.51.03) will NOT work with any rom that has the 576meg ram, enabled.
If you flash a rom and all you get when you restart is a grey screen, chances are the radio doesnt match. Boot to bootloader and flash the radio.
But most of all, read stuff.
What about shipped rom's that are .exe files? Do they include radios with it? Also, is there a post you can point me to that has a list of compatible radios with different rom's?
that's where reading comes in. the whole process has so many variants that there is no simple "a b c" that covers everything.
yes the exe includes radio (and also spl if you use sd card to flash -stay away from sd card, use usb and if anything goes wrong you just boot to bootloader and re flash)
the chefs give you all the infoyou need in the first couple of posts. the sticky threads in the rom development section will tell you how to do everything, and any problem you encounter has beenwritten about already. so read,search and read.
I suggest you flash Stock WWE 1.66 ROM first so you can have a feel of how much improvement
has been done from 1.43
you can download it in HTC website.
Thanks for your help so far..
I would like to go for the 1.66 official ROM first, so I'll find that on here first and find the exe file so I dont have to mess about with compatible radio's.
Just before I HSPL it, I would like a copy of the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM, so better get searching.
Thanks again
Glyn
the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM is on HTCs website so get it from there as a backup
THANKYOU!!
Thankyou so much for your help and guidance.
Last night I decided to just do it - the phone was so poor I couldn't take it anymore.
3 hours from start of backing up, to installing HSPL2, to flashing with 1.66, anf then restoring data
I cant believe the transformation - I am so pleased I didnt throw it at a wall!!!
So a massive thanks to the members of this community
im in the same boat... got a stock uk hd2 on tmobile and wasn't to flash a new rom but the information is overwhelming and im scared I will flash a wrong rom and kill my phone :0)

theres nothing to it. the 'normal' hd2 which you do have, is about the safest phone to flash in the world today, with HSPL2. The 'radios killing phones' problem that started last week is specific to the t mobile US model only, , the one with 1 gig rom.
If you install HSPL on your phone, and then only flash over USB, the very worst that will happen (from a software point of view) is that the phone stops at a grey screen, and/or only boots into bootloader, so you boot into bootloader, you flash something else, and it's fixed.
The T Mo UK stock rom is available to download as backup, (as is o2 and voda for anyone looking) in the 'LEO official roms' thread in rom development, first post, first link, first folder (1.43)
At any time, you can flash that rom from sd card (look it up if you need to) and restore everything, spl, radio and rom, , to factory settings.
In all honesty, so long as you are careful, methodical, don't pull out USB cables halfway through, laptop battery dies, etc , then you are more likely to get bricked from some freak incident, like , umm, battery dieing, heh.
Fear not! be smart, be careful, try to understand what you are doing and why at each step, read up on what an spl is, and the job is , as they say, sorted.

Hi samsamuel,
Sorry to msg you like this.
i have purchased a T mobile HTC HD2 which came with the stock 1.43 ROM.
I want to put 1.66 on but don't know how.
I've read the forum and looked on youtube but confused.
Do you have an idiots guide?... i really am an idiot when it comes to stuff like this!
I have downloaded HSPL2 file.
I have downloaded the back up 1.43 Stock Rom
Do i need to download the 1.66 ROM now and how do i update?
please excuse my ignorance and i am happy to donate if you can help.
Kind regards
Mkhonat
RE:
Hi Samsamuel,
Thanks.. just one more thing.
Saw on youtube that i have to format my SC card
youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas[/url]
is this so and is this referring to the sd card in the HTC or my own sd card used to download the 1.66 onto?

PS. why won't this forum allow me to send you a PM?.. i can't send any msg's at all.
Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to use Android on the HD2 without the special ROM version it needs. During a reboot my device shows:
R 2.07.51.22~2
G 15.32.50.07U
D 1.72.86526
A reset with the volume down key being pressed shows "SPL 1.66.0000".
Thank you
Hi,
that´s a fine question. My device shows the same.
Can annybody tell us something about this topic?
Thanks
You can try andriod without any rom changes, just download it, extract to SD card & run (per instructions). It should work, in general, but you'll most likely get the common issues, like "robot voice".
Try some builds & see how they work for you.
Today I tried out "HyperDroidV1.2" but i get one of the known problems!
I don´t want to change the radiorom because of my warranty.
Every thread I looked up say, that you lost the warrenty if you try HSPL and a other RadioRom.
I'm afraid to make my phone unusable.
Thanks for your answer!
Without the right Radio ROM, Android will stop booting at the "init screen" (or "init panel"?) line and the display will fade to black.

Be careful!!
I tried the FroyoSense V2 on my stock HD2, and my WM locked up totally. No 3'rd part progs would run, could not install anything. The phone was more or less useless. So backup your phone before even trying to run Android.
well you need at least 2.08 radio. i have exact same stock rom, but you need to hspl and upgrade your radio.
Why are you hesitant to flash a new radio? It is super simple to do and it is reversible. If I were you I'd go to radio 2.12. You can also flash a custom WM Rom with built in android boot manager.
My understanding is that Andriod only works with the R 2.**.50.** radio. I think these are the US radios. Any .51 radio are for EUR/AUS and will not work with Android.
I have a Telstra HD2 with 2.09.51.03 and have to flash 2.10.50.08 inorder to work with Android.
I believe unless you have a TMobile HD2, it is quite safe to use any radio rom and the flashing process is very straight forward indeed.
My sincere apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (i can't find a thing and been looking all morning!).
I've ballsed up my HD2. Basically i tried to run sd card dual boot android thingy last night. Radio didn't upgrade as it should have and so anfroid didn't work either. So...today I tried downgrading SPL from 3.033 to 2.08.0000 so i could upgrade radio to be compatiable. To cut a long story short I used the downgrading post to do it and now i have upgrade rom error please try again. One positive note though....stuck on a lovely red green, blue and white screen (bootloader me thinks?) with spl showing as 2.08.0000.
Now....I thought i was slightly above average in terms of genereal public geeky know-how but this has certainly humbled me. I've been through the O SH*T I've bricked it (both me and the phone) and through dam....my wife will kill me, i'm now at denial thinking it will magically sort it self out (which it won't).
So please, apologies for the essay....can some help me out. Please go slow as I really can't do things without step my step instructions.
In a nutshell: can't get past bootlaoder and i wanna go for a poo because of it.
HELP!

I'm not sure that would work, plus i don't think I've got the disc (had hd2 for 18months now).
It says:
HX-BC
SPL-2.08 0000 8G XE
MicroP (LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Tried loading standard rom from htc site but after 1% it crashes.
Crashing your phone is definitely a cure for constipation!
HELP!!! Anyone? Tried HSPL and it didn't work, still stuck at bootloader. Have a bricked it?
You flashed the stock 2.08 SPL instead of Hard SPL. That is why it will not let you load another ROM.

Thanks for replying but, pardon my ignorance (i'm not very good at this stuff), how do I resolve this issue? is stock ROM the one that comes with the phone? I've ried putting different SPL through HSPL but stays at 2.08. What am I doing wrong?

The SPL you put on there is stock, meaning locked so you cannot flash custom ROMs.
You need to run HSPL4 again, and flash HSPL 2.08 NOT SPL-2.08 0000.
THEN you can flash whatever the hell you want
Don't flash HSPL 3.03 unless you plan to just use a 3.14 based windows mobile ROM.
just tried that and it stops half way through process and put spl 20.8 0000 on it even though i asked for HSPL. whats wrong with it? any ideas? again, i appreciate your help. is this anything to do with radio (????what is radio??? lol)
now all hspl does is not do as i say, whatever i pick whether it be 2.08 stock and 2.08 hspl (or their 3.03 counterparts) it show spl of 2.08.0000.
to be honest i just want my trusty winmo back so i can make calls, to hell with android (for the moment lol)
Is it regular or tmous?
Regular - 2.x spls arent stock for regular, only tmous uses 2.x as stock, so that may be havjng an effect, though it shouldn't,,,,,
Run hspl2 (note that's hspl2) and choose 1.66.0000
If that takes ok, then go to htc.com and find a rom that your serial allows you to download and flash it.
Tmous - get latest rom from t-mobile.com and flash that. If usb flashing doesn't take try sd card flash.
In both cases if still no luck, try goldcard, pm me an emaik address and your cid and I'll make you one.
You could also try the "chill phone in bag in fridge for half hour before flashing" trick, which if it works means you have overheating issues.
Spl - any spl ending 0000 is a factory spl andwill not allow flashing except that phones stock rom.
just pmed you, dunno if i did it right, hopefully you got it. Unfortunatley hspl2 didn't work either, still 2.08.0000 on there. Can i work with this in any way? ie can i load another rom on rather than revert back to htc rom if it easier? This all began with wanting dual boot android/winmo but its gone belly up lol, still i suppose there are ppl that have bricked phones whch are worse off.
I don't even know how to load another rom! i'm the noob of noobs!
From PM

I'm afraid that hspl2 didn't sort it out either, still shows spl 2.08 0000. Although it does say successful, when booting up it says failed and reverts back to bootloader. Should i be pressing any buttons while it boots up (i'm not - only vol down key when i need usb port to work).

ah i was afraid of it not working, , next i would suggest try hspl4, choosing 3.03.hspl or 3.03.0000, though again, i suspect the same thing,,, no change.
No real answer as to why it does that, i suspect a bad nand (memory) block, perhaps some memory flag that needs to be set but gets corrupted, , or something.
All i can suggest is trying hspl2,3 and 4 to try and change the spl to anything, , you have a regular hd2, so theres no problem, it should take any spl.
Goldcard is basically a magic sd card that makes the phone think it is in the factory, and lets you flash any STOCK rom from any region and carrier, and the phone will accept it as its correct rom. You can make them from any 4gb or smaller sd card, but i need teh CID (unique serial) of that sd card to send you the image which you write to the disk.
Problem is, getting the CID, , if you have another windows mobile phone you can use for 5 minutes that takes sd cards) then you are laughing, if you don't then you may be in trouble (although again, this is pretty unlikely to work if you really do have the stuck spl/radio problem, so if you cant make a goldcard dont lose any sleep)
Anyway, if you can get hold of a running winmo phone and connect it to your pc, then have a read HERE
http://samsamuel.co.uk/news.php?id=8
If you cant get hold of a winmo phone, then you will have to google on how to find sd cid without winmo phone, , , ,get ready for an evenings reading and frustration!

No, only stock roms will flash on 0000 spl's.
your phone, if acting normally, should always take the correct stock rom, but i have myself had issues flashing a correct stock rom when i left spl as 2.08.0000, until i downgraded to spl 1.66.0000, however the dowbgrade worked, whereas yours isnt taking.
As for which rom should always flash, go HERE and the second one down is t mo UK. If your serial gets rejected when you try to dfownload it, then its not the correct rom for that phone.
Download that, and rename teh file from filename.exe to filename.zip, then open the zip, inside is a bunch of files, one is called RUU_signed.nbh, extract that and rename it to leoimg.nbh and put it on your sd card (4gb or smaller, formatted FAT32) and reboot your phone into bootloader, where it should start to flash.
thanks for all your help.
At the moment its stuck on loading...has been for 15min, i think i'll reset it. I did manage to get it on another spl earlier this afternoon but it was 3.03 and i didn't think that was any good for me so changed it back. i'll keep trying to get a hspl on it, i take it that after that i can put any rom on it (cooked).
I'll try my wife's touch and see if i can make a goldcard.
Thanks again, let you know what happens.
jusr reset it and spl 1.66 is on there but only flashes up for a second before a white loading scren comes up. reset it a few times after that and still no joy. htc rom won't connect to it!
its working! the sd card was still in the phone and i had put something on there this morning (think it was a radio or something which caused loading screen to occur) windows just lkoadiong now, hopefully it will work. I'm still up for android dual booth tho lol. if this all works then i think i might wait. Samsamuel, i really appreciate your help in all this!
Thanks again!

Hello again,
Just wondering if you flashed the correct stock rom check out this post to make sure...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
It must be the correct one for your device otherwise there could be a radio problem!!
You do have HSDPL 2.08 on your HD2 so that is a plus. Please post your Carrier's name and the region the HD2 is from. I can use this info to make sure you have the correct stock ROM for your device and see if it might be a older version Win Mo ROM for your device as I think you have what is referred to as a stuck radio. If I remember right some members that have had this was able to get a older version of Win Mo to flash and then they were good to go again. Maybe Samsamuel will come and give some of his enlightened advice as he probably good guide you more than I could.

Yes enter the serial number of your device into the HTC website and it should show you the correct ROM for your device. If that does not work try entering the serial number in google and see what you can find that way.

As I posted in my first post, it appears you have a stuck radio problem. The only way you will fix it is to find a stock ROM for device that has a earlier version radio. For some reason only earlier radio versions have been able to fix this problem, but it must be in a stock RUU. Just flashing the radio will not work. I am truly sorry I can not offer any more help, but with out the information I asked you for in my second post in this thread I can not help you find a RUU that might would work.

Flash magldr and it should work, if it works and it still doesnt let you flash a rom then boot an sd rom from magldr.
Has this not been solved? I see many suggestions but no reply lately from OP.
If it is a radio problem, you can always flash a radio without changing your ROM.
I am curious as to why this started in the first place. Where you using your phone and one day it stopped?
Did you flash the android ROM or did you buy it that way?
Which android ROM was it?

If the OP or anyone else for that matter has what is known as a stuck radio. Then just flashing the radio will not work, it will fail every time. I do not know what causes the issue on HD2's but I do know it does exist. I also do not know why flashing older ROMs via RUU works to fix the issue sometimes either, but again I do know it does on occasion work to fix the device. When you have a stuck radio it does as the OP says it will fail when trying to flash the radio. It also for some reason prevents you from flashing anything to the system partition of the device. Now I know people will say just flash a custom Win Mo ROM as they do not have radios with them or just flash MAGLDR or clk. But again it will not let you flash anything to the system partition so this is null and void as well. Being able to fix this is just finding the right combonation of older SPL version and older radio version in the same RUU. I have never seen a stuck radio be fixed by flashing from SD card.

Ok, I see. I was not aware of this 'stuck radio' issue. This is the first time I hvae heard of it. I have had the white screen of death before. Mine was caused by a flashable zip that I made which I had misplaced the proper files. I adb'd those files back to the proper location and all was well. That is why I was asking if it happened out of nowhere or after something had changed.
If you cannot do a task 29, but flashing older stock ROMs do work may be because they perform a similar task while flashing. I may be the system partition is too full to allow anything to be loaded to flash.
But, I do not know.
