Assuming you have the U8800 regular model(not pro or plus)
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728065
There is a link there to an update16.zip(or some similar name) file, which maybe helps you.
Make a dload folder on root of your sdcard and then extract all files and folders of the archive in there. Then with battery off and device connected with usb cable, power it on with the same key combination which you use to get the pink screen. Hopefully the update will start and clean things. Then you can flash the official rom(delete all contents of the dload folder and put there the UPDATE.APP).

which hspl do i need

i have stock spl 2.10.0000 which version spl do i need to flash?
I presume with that spl that you have a TMO US 1024 HD2? You'll need to try to revert to spl 2.08.0000 before you can use HSPL_1024.
Flash an earlier version of the TMO US rom (ie the 2.10 rom) from the sd card. You can find it here - http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
hey thx for replying back so fast but when i goto link i dont undetsyand which file to click. also i posted in the mod hack upgrade section and no one answered do u think you could check that out?
Click on the Leo 2.10 folder - inside you will find the rom file (2 parts) - RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.part1.rar and RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.part2.rar
Download these and then unpack them with WinRAR. I haven't downloaded the files, but you'll probably get an .exe file. Right click on this and select "Extract Here", one of the files extracted should be a LEOIMG.nbh (or ***.nbh) file. Copy that to your sd card and flash from there. There is also a RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.txt file at that location, so try download that also and see what instructions it gives.
sorry it took so long to reply but,i was unable to do it.this is what i did:
i went to link

extracted both together on desktop
put nhb (which wasn't the exact name) in root of my card

after you put the file onto your sd card, and rename it leoimg.nbh
, you restart the phone into bootloader and it flashes, , nothing to do with the pc at all.
well now im making some progress. i renamed that file to leoimg. then powered down then held volume down and then yellow button. it did nothing, then i turned it back on. this time i did volume and yrllow button. it came to the green blue red white screen did nothing. so i renamed the file again this time added .nbh. did it again. nothing. what gives? where on sd card does it need to be?

Be sure that the file is really named "leoimg.nbh". Do you have hidden extensions enabled in the OS!? If the file is correctly named and still a no go, try with other sdcard.
if you have a 16gb card you should deff try find a smaller card.
sorry it took a while to reply. the file i got was named romupdate.nbh. how do i enable hidden extensions? and why do i need a smaller sd card?
cos lots (not all, but a good number) of people using teh stock 16 gb card have had problems, , , some have had problems with 8gb, and less have had probs with 2gb cards.
if you can see the .nbh part of romupdate, then you dont need to worry about showing extensions. Just rename it leoimg.nbh and copy to sd.
also.

you dont go near the yellow button to enter bootloader.
phone off
press hold and keep holding vol down
tap and release power
release vol down only when bootloader starts.

[Q] Factory Settings?

Hi, I know that to take off the custom roms, you need to flash the stock rom but how do you remove android, clockwork mod, and magldr off the phone? my phone has been acting up and i need to send it back through the hd2 insurance but i need to reset everything first. Thank you!
i need help how i can restore all settings plz help me
Download the spesific rom for your device from the HTC website. Eg if you are on the HD2 o2, you would download that rom. It comes as an .exe file.
Right click on the file and extract the contents to someware on your desktop, look for the .nbh file. Cant quite remember the name but it will be the biggest file. Rename it to leoimg.nbh and copy it on to your SD card.
Make sure it is the correct rom for your phone or it wont work.
Once you have done this reboot the phone and hold the volume down button at the same time to get into the boot loader. It will then prompt you to install the rom. This will remove everything and restore back to factory default for you and reinstate your warrenty!
Next time you shoud use the search button. If you had did this you had found this thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066852&highlight=restore+factory

sorry for double post but i tried renaming the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and when i go into the bootloader, nothing prompts up asking me to install the new rom. Help please?

In order to continue proper drivers must be installed. Check if when connecting usb there is on screen "USB". However if you install the exe file your SPL will not be restored to original.
If you want to return it to factory you need to do it via SD card. Or by exe but you then have to install SPL manually.
Try again, rename the largest nbh file to leoimg.nbh put it to sdcard root and reboot to bootloader.
Bootloader is the one with 4 different colors. To boot powerup phone and hold Volume Down key.

There is "USB" on the screen and I believe i have the proper divers installed.
I downloaded the 3.14 t-mobile official rom and renamed the largest file (.nbh) to leoimg.nbh (and i tried LEOIMG.nbh, if it makes a difference for the CAPS) but nothing appeared on the bootloader screen. I tried to install the rom by the .exe file because i would rather get the official rom on so i can remove hspl manually but the "Next" button is grayed out. It won't let me go onto the next step. :/
What size sd card did you use? It usually wont work on a card bigger than four gigabytes. Try it on a class two, four gigabyte or less micro sd card.

i tried using a smaller sd card (4 gigabytes) and had no luck. the "next" button is still voided out..

[Q] |HELP| I have a Blue Screen ! :(

hi, I installed a custom rom.and format sd cart by menu... only a blue screen does not turn on the phone. CWM dosnt work.
Can you still boot in Bootloader (pink screen) by holding VOL+,VOL- and Power?
Blue replaces pink when phone can't access to cust. Download official rom, and hope it will fix it.
USE THIS AS LAST CHANGE, IT DESTROYS YOUR IMEI
Another (imei destructive) way is to plug phone to pc, format the partition, create image folder and put recovery and there. Then reinstall rom or stock.

In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
Once you've copied the files, just disconnect the cable, take the battery out and then put it back in.
Next step is to boot into Recovery, by pressing VOl+ and Power.
let me know how that goes.
Thank a lot, but now İMEI 00000000 ? where is my orgin İMEİ :S
That's a complicated problem and i don't think there is a solution for 0 IMEI.
Try flashing one of the STOCK roms, see how that goes.

Hi
Space is not enough to flash any ROMs;
Bootloader is locked,you could not edit that sector.
So is there a special ROM that is very small and allows to edit the bootloader?
Here is the MINI ROM: (thread is from anzhi,only copy the download url.)
115,com/file/clyzgmw1
(replace " , " by ". ")
Click the "电信下载“ right besides the red link"VIP ...."
Flash it than edit the bootloader~
NOTICE: I format the whole sector ,and the file including IMEI was missing
'Cause I don't know how to edit recovery or other system files like .mbn,
so just delete the abnormal big file and you would be able to flash any ROM s

Put sdcard in phone, and hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After phone has restarted pull battery.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?6hrfz36b8e2vw87
Unzip and copy the dload folder to empty sdcard.
Hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After it fails near the end or if it restarts then pull battery.
Download a rooted boot.img and a clockworkmod recovery.img (got both mine from links at modaco)
Attach phone to PC in pink screen mode and delete the boot.img and recover.img files.
Upload the downloaded root.img and recovery.img to image folder in phone.
Download any custom rom from XDA, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475687 and upload it to sdcard
Pull battery.
Hold vol+ and power and go into clockworkmod, wipe everything and flash the custom rom!!

Guys I am desparate, I mean I tryed all steps for everything I did STEP by STEP! After reading them many times, and also reading the comments and anyways after a research!
I tryed to do it slowly and carefully!
And now my phone is bricked as hell with a blue screen at startup, not allowing me to do ANYTHING
please help asap!
Everything happened after I managed to root my phone, with 2.3.5 official ROM!
sounds like you have corrupted/wiped some of the internal partitions. Have you made linux backup? It would save you at the moment.
Sent from my U8800 using xda premium
You could ask for someones linux backup and try to restore it in your phone. Also have you formatted something from mounts/storage?
I have done the steps you describe many times without any problems, so you have done too little or too much. Maby you flashed corrupted recovery in .cust_backup?

Yes its propably about the recovery, that was actually what I did before the blue screen!
I aint have linux back up :/
How can I find? And if I do find, how do i use it?

Not everything is lost.
I also did a stupid thing and deleted the partitions via CWM. Afterwards I saw the blue screen of death..
The phone came alive using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
I knew that the pink screen was not there but when I tried the above process without the battery my phone begun the upgrade and everything came back to normal
If it wont start the upgrade try to do the following.
Take out the sd card and put the battery back inside.
Then connect the phone with a usb and wait to see the battery charging icon.
Afterwards disconnect the usb, take out the battery, put the sd card back in, connect the usb and try again to flash the dload folder using the two volume + power buttons.
That's how i did it
Thankyou, that worked like a charm for me
