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...

Error 266: Unable to flash radio or ROM

Hello,
When I try to flash my radio or ROM I am getting this error:
[ERROR 266]: UPDATE ERROR
The Update Utility cannot get response from your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone. And also check your PDA Phone.

I attached a capture to this post.
Here are the details about my actual device:
LEO512 - Orange France
Radio 2.06.51.07
ROM 1.66.406.1 FRE
HSPL3 2.08.HSPL
I actually tried to flash to official ROM WWE 3.14.405.2 and radio 2.15.50.14 but none of them worked out, both failing with the described error. I tried to flash through ActiveSync and through the bootloader. I also tried to remove SD in both situation and I actually do not have SIM card in the phone.
When comes to change the SPL I do not have any problem and can switch smoothly.

When you use ActiveSync is your computer able to connect to youf HD2? If not then try a different USB port as the one you are using must not have the proper drivers for yoir HD2 installed. You can also try another computer and another USB cable.

Thanks.
Changing of USB port definitely solved the problem.

tried every thing erro 264, 266 for me
mine is still stuck i tried all of them
I have madldr 1.11 i just want to upgrade to 1.13 but no upgrade work for me
i dont know wat to do

You can flash MAGLDR via your SD card just like you can a ROM or radio. Just copy the MAGLDR.nbh file in the MAGLDR folder you get when you exstract the zip file you download to the root of your SD card.. Then change the name of the coppied file to leoimg.nbh. Next as you turn your HD2 on hold down the volume down button. You will see the multicolor bootloader screen come up as soon as you see the word "Searching" on the screen let go of the volume down button and follow any on screen instructions. This will flash MAGLDR 1.13 to your HD2.

Just wanted to add that I was having this problem on Win7 64bit, initially windows update tried to grab drivers. It installed something unnamed but still wouldn't run the ROM update. I switched USB ports as suggested above and then Windows Update found a Qualcomm CDMA driver and installed that. This it seems did the trick as I'm now updating.

Greetings to all.
this problem has happened to me too. site (windows) to control said activesync. Then I did it to me ...... I realized that there were some driver conflict of some programs cooking ..... Removed from (windows7) now works perfectly. Thus check the newly installed programs.

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.

Killed my HD2

Hi all
Newbie. And new to Phone Updates etc.....
Have HTC HD2 on O2. Was attempting to put NAND on it, followed the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11215136&postcount=8
All steps conpleted successfully, but after "Step C: Install MAGLDR"
The MAGLDR113 Rom updated the phone successfully, then it rebooted and is now stuck the O2 screen.
Any help would be appreciated.

what rom did you flash after you installed magldr?

try to flash magldr again
u got hspl 2.08 ?

Do you have the correct radio (2.15.50.14) ?

have you tried pressing the power button on booting?

Flash again winmo 6,5. After that flash HSPl 3.0. Flash radio 2.15.50. In boot screen ( hold power button and volume down) Flasyh Magldr.

I would say invisiblebm is right - reflashing again should help - cause as long as your reacts when you push the power button it is not dead

Hi all. Thanks for info.
Current state is that the phone is frozen at 02 welcome screen. Nothing happens when soft or hard boot.
When you boot holding down arrow I get
PB8110 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.hspl XE
0x05
cotullaHSPL 0x50
Unable to reflash, as the phone doesnt showup to the pc on usb, though the white part of the 4 colours RED/GREEN/BLUE/WHITE does change from serial to USB when you connect to the PC.
Phone shows up as a device "qualcomm cdma technologies MSM"
Is there anything more I can do save for sending back to O2.
Was at version o SPL 1.66.0000
I choose 3.03HSPL
Leo 2.15.50.14.rar contents - Via CustomRUU
The MAGLDR113 113 from the XDA Dev Site
Completed successfully, then rebooted, but didnt come up.
cheers
John

Even thought there is no apparent phone connection, it still connects if it switches from serial to USB. I had the same problem. Mine also said qualcomm techs. But when i reflashed MAGLDR using DAF.exe, it worked fine.

Can you post the link to the downlaod please

Just put the phone in bootloader, connect USB, when says "USB" on bottom of phone screen, its ready for flashing. Ignore the fact the PC doesn't seem to connect, the phrase "get an activesync connection" in the various tutorials is a pain in the arse, (even though it is technically correct.)
Anyway, magldr won't start cos you have the wrong hspl. As you already know because it says so in post 1 of the magldr thread, which you DID read, right? It says magldr will only work with 2.08.hspl, , , you have 3.03.hspl.
Enter bootloader, connect USB, run hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl and reboot, magldr should start.

So what I understud is , that the phone is not connecting to the PC. Try this:
Restart you PC, Go in to bootloader and try again, In most of the cases is some conection error between the devices. It hapen to me many times.

Thanks. Missed the SPL-3.03, rushing to do it. Its now on 2.08 and the loader comes up. Just the flash to do next. cheers

lesson of the day?
Always read the instructions 10 times

very very very true

Thanks to all fro your help btw, since running Nand, and now Gingerbread 2.3.

CHEERS, you were a life saver.

[Q] What i can do please?

Hi everyone! At first sorry because my english is not better than my french
My problem: I have an HTC hd2 with a white screen and the SPL 1.42.0000 (i can go to bootloader). I google it and can't find any solution, i tried to instal HSPL (with hspl2/3/4) without success (usb fail connection) i have the same error with an task29, and an hd2toolkit. I tried to instal from sdcard but i have the error "radio v2 fail".
I think this is a problem at height of XDA developers ^^
PS:I tried to change Computer or usb port and execute as administrator but nothing...
If you coul help me it will be realy nice.

is the phone recognized in device manager? If not its a driver problem.
also do the usual ( verify its not the usb cable, try different usb port,) if drivers are ok

thank you for your help
The computer recognize the device but without OS (white screen) i can't do anythings with Activesync, i tried other computers and other usb port/cable but nothing. I think isn't a driver's problem because the instalation with sd card don't work.

Don't understand what you mean by "white screen"?
Try installing a stock winmo for you device to make sure everything is ok...

i tried to instal an official htc rom from sd card but it doesn't work, by "white screen" i just wanted to say that when i turn on my phone the screen is white.

It sounds like you have done a Task 29 and you do not have a ROM on your HD2 right now. This is why you just boot to the white screen.
You do npot have to use Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center to flash via RUU. You just have to have them installed because the haqve the USB drivers for the HD2's WINCE Bootloader in the programs and they install the drivers when you install the program.
The drivers in Active Sync and WMDC allow you to have a HTC Sync connection in the bootloader. Just boot into the bootloader by holding down the volume down button while powering on yuour HD2. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable. Wait and watch for the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader to change to USB. When you see USB you can run a RUU.
Now to address your 1.42.0000 SPL, this is a older SPL version and you may have to keep trying different RUUs until you get one that will flash. Just make sure if you have a T-Mobile HD2 that you do not flash any radio version below 2.08.50.?? or any radio version that has a 51 in the radio where the 50 is in the first radio I mentioned, or you will brick your T-Mobile HD2. Look for the radio version in the RUU name it will be there.
Sometimes the HD2 develops what is referred to as a "stuck radio" when they have these early SPL versions like yours. This is why I say you may just have to keep trying different RUUs until you find one that will flash.
