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

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.

HD2 not booting after rom install

Hi all ^^
I'm new here, and I just received my HD2 and wanted to flash it with one of the cool ROMs you have on this forum.
I flashed the HSPL with HSPL2 and everything went smoothly. Then I downloaded one of CleanEX DSE Core Rom (the 6.5 Maniless FRE) to be precise.
I flashed it, all was good, at the end the phone rebooted and i was stuck at the boot screen written "HTC CleanEX UDT DsE Series". I thought maybe it was because I didn't do a hard reset yet. So i did one, everything initialyze and when it's done same thing, the phone reboot and I'm stuck at the same boot screen...
I'm starting to get a bit stressed out because if I can't connect to Activesync I can't even put an original Rom or an other twinked one ><
Does anybody know what I did wrong or why it's not working ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
PS: My phone is a french phone.
radio - go back and reread that roms thread for recommendation, however 2.07.50.x or higher should do it.
boot to bootloader, connect usb, flash radio, phone will now boot
Connect your phone to PC and turn it on while holding volume down, bootloader menu should apear (red,green,blue,white) then you can run Rom flashing tool on your PC
but i recomend flashing newer RADIO because this may be the reason for your current issue.
That was a really quick and effective answer !!
Thanks a lot to both of you !!!! *hugs*
its seriously the radio

are you flashing the ROM on a different micro sd card? you cant use a 8GB or 16GB. Try a smaller card like a 1GB or 2GB.
also rename the stock ROM to LEOIMG.nbh.
put that ROM file on a smaller card and go into bootloader should come right up. worked for me when i had to re-install stock to return defective unit.

[q] hd2 bricked (?)

Hello, I itried to install a rom not suitable fot T-mous and I can't recover the phone since Then. It's possible to help me out? I became really sad without my hd2.
I tried to install several different roms (official and others), everything seems fine but when it reboots goes to the white screen and reboots...when i enter bootloader shows:
PB81120 ss-b3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Still charges through usb and the led is working but when i disconnect it from the pc..Turns off instantly
PLLLLSSSS Help me out through this issue
a plus point of it, ITS NOT BRICKED
DONT DO **** TILL PEOPLE SAY WHAT 2DO..
otherwise you will brick it...(trust me selfexperience, bricked my)
when its bricked, you cant do ****, the phone doesnt turn on, NOTHING happends.
just w8 till some nice people who have some experience want to help you (and me stuck with spl-3.03.0000)
So dont do anything yet!!
Firstly try switching on the phone without the SD Card installed.
If that doesn't solve your problem then:
Go to HTC's website and download a TMOUS ROM (preferably the 2.10 ROM) - you need to use your phone's serial number to get to download the ROM. If you get an invalid message, then you are trying to download a ROM not suitable fro your phone.
Press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button. You are now in Bootloader Mode. Connect to the PC and the 'Serial' at the bottom of the screen will change to 'USB'.
Run the ROM. Just tick the box about ActiveSync.
If in future you are going to run a custom ROM, then check that it is suitable for a TMOUS. Only flash RADIOs with a .50 in it and above 2.07.50.
None of the suggestions...worked...Tried to boot without tha sd inserted...Noresult...And I have installed the two official versions of the T-mobile again with no result )):
Any other suggestions///????
Thanks ):
Sounds like quite a predicament. Have you tried any of the NAND android roms? Maybe a different os might get the phone to act differently.
I'm not going to say that this will work, but if it doesn't you should be able to hard reset back to a windows mobile os you have used previously by doing what you have done up until now with flashing them back on afterwards, putting you back to your current situation.
do a task 29. and try reflashing. (google "mtty for hd2" to perform task 29 )

SPL-5.12

Hi all,
Im currently trying to downgrade my SPL so I can load on a custom rom/XAP's
but im having major trouble trying to do it!!
First off, here in some info.
Its a Vodaphone UK HTC Tropy.
Currently running Mango
Bootloader is
PC40100 SS-BC (4K)
SPL-5.12.2250.1(134400) MNG
MicroP(LED) 0x09
TOUCH A1(v10,20)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-V211V413
F400
Now... as of a few mins ago, my bootloader has stoped recognising that I have a USB plugged into it...
Anyone care to help me solve this?
Have I crapped up my bootloader?
Have I now got to go the Goldcard route and get my self a Y cable etc??
Or can I do it another way, as im changing the internal SD card anyway...
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Yeah, you half bricked the bootloader. It's fixable though. You have two options:
1) Wait for a new driver update via Zune Update and install it. Downside is simple... you wait.
2) Best method, fast, not to expensive, is to build a GoldCard. Not only will this let you do some fun things, like unbrand the phone, but its a much easier method for downgrading the bootloader. This guide is a newb guide that doesn't require soldering wires (all plug and play), or using a Win 6.5 or Android phone. This GoldCard setup will let you use the debug flashing function of the phone to restore the SPL to flashable status and/or downgrade it to install HSPL.

[Q] [Help] Unusual HD2 problem.

First of all, sorry if this thread already exists, but for the past 2 days I've been searching the web for my problem, but no luck. So I'm asking for your help.
My device had android 2.3 few months ago. One day it got stuck at loading screen, and I thought the SD card was corrupted because the ROM was installed there, and I tried to plug it to the PC, the windows sound would play that a device is connected, but I didn't see the sd card listed in My Computer
. So I bought a new sd card 2 days ago, plugged it to the phone, and it still wouldn't recognize the sd card. So I tried a few solutions, like copying RUU_signed.nbh with a card reader, and renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh. That only gave me an error 'No Allow' 00028002.
HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Right now I have copied Ruu_signed.nbh from RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
and renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh, and the phone is stuck on Loading...
I see the bootloader screen is missing the device model number (PB81100) so would suspect the nand chip has gone bad.
Do a search & perhaps try task 21 & installing a hspl via cottulla hspl4 (HD2wiki has links)
Also use rest pin rather than pull battery as sometimes can clear an issue but in cases like this expect picking up a donor device for a mainboard will be needed.

I think i've seen the PB81100 few times when I was trying different ROMs. Could you please link me an appropriate ROM for my case that I can install by putting it on the SD Card ? I cannot connect my phone to the pc, so im using a card reader to put things on the sd.
Just look in HD2 Wiki as have links to loads of ROMs & without seeing your device or knowing any of its history it very hard to know what is the correct regional cid rom for flashing.
I always do via USB & get a HSPL on first thus bypassing CID lock & making flashing less prone to problems over stock SPL. you will just have to guess most likely correct regional & brand ROM from what you know of the device & any branding logo it may have.
If lucky & persist a bit you may get something to flash :-/

[Q]stuck at recovery; serial change to usb

Hi everyone!
I am very sorry for such a n00b-post, but I really cannot find a solution.
The problem:
I recently got a HD2 of a friends who did not use it anymore, because Android suddently stopped working. Now it's stuck at a black screen [A] saying:
aMAGLDR V1.13
Build: Feb 1 2011 03:46:07
by Cotulla 2011
I tried resetting the phone using the red button near the battery, but it did not solve the problem. I am able to boot the HD2 into recovery-mode (colory screen) but then, after connecting to a pc it does not change from "serial" to "usb".
I have installed WMDC on my W7 64-bit system. I have also tried to use "RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship" (from the 4shared "shipped LEO roms"), but none of them recognises my HD2 neither in Recovery nor in the black screen [A].
Is this phone useless? What can I try to revive it?
What might be helpfull: when normally booting, the phone vibrates once during the HTC-screen and 5 times after the black screen [A] appears.

Since you're unable to connect to PC, then you can't re-flash HSPL.
HSPL needed to force flash any shipped WM6.5 ROMs to HD2.
Then the only way is to flash original WM6.5 ROM for your device from uSD.
If you're not sure what CID, just download any HD2 shipped ROMs and try to flash from uSD.
Just be careful not to flash EU's ROM on T-Mobile device!
Extract the ".exe" file, then rename the ".nbh" file into "leo.nbh", copy that to root of uSD.
Power up your device while pressing vol down button.
Don't worry if the ROM refuse to flash, it's just a wrong CID.
But to make sure, connect your device to another clean PC (without android drivers inside, just WMDC), preferably a PC sets for syncing WP7/WP8 devices.
And make sure your device turns on by itself when charger is connected (auto turn on from off state).
That's just to make sure that usb connector is not damaged.
HD2 vibrate 1x at power on, it's normal.
Vibrate 5x after magldr shows up, I suspect something wrong with magldr or the ROM itself (corrupted or something).
Another possibility is some NAND bad blocks.
But if it's vibrate 5x at power on, then you have a bad luck.
The point is, flash the original ROM first.
If it's success, then flash HSPL.
After that, the rest is up to you..
Firstly, I want to thank you very much for your quick and extensive answer!
But I have only one tiny question: are these the ROMS which I can find at http: //www . 4shared . com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html#dir=MGRa1Cen ? And you mean I should just pick one and try?
You can also find HD2 shipped ROMs here.
Anything that has "TMO" are T-mobile ROMs, otherwise it's EU.
Again, don't flash EU's ROM on TMO devices!
The first 3 digit are the ROM version (1.66, 1.48. etc.), 3.14 is the latest WM6.5 ROM.
The next 3 digit are CID code (207, 404, 707, etc.).
Like I've said, if you don't know which CID for your HD2, then just download all ROMs from different CID then flash it one-by-one using uSD.
Thanks!
So far I have tried the 404 and 162 (edit: and 161, 911), but so far without luck. I'll keep you posted!
Tiny question: is it normal that I cannot shutdown in Recovery Mode?
Perhaps some useful info shown in Recovery:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like an EU HD2, TMO HD2 are rarely using hynix nand, made around late 2009 or early 2010.
Just try to flash ROM with CID for your friend's country first.
If failed, then try another CID.
There should be one or two info about CID number vs. country somewhere around.
Good luck!

At this moment I have tried all the NLD roms with no result. Also I have tried roms from several european countries, but none of them works:/ Might it help if I give the serial number?
And what might be worth saying: my phone turns on when connected to AC power / wall-charger; when connected to charger the "serial" disappears...
Thanks for all your help!!!
Have you try connect to other PC?
When flasing ROM from uSD and failed, what error message you got?
If it's "CID mismatch" or something like that, than it's definitely a wrong CID.
If it's "ROM update error bla bla bla", it's most likely corrupted flash image or the uSD itself (use a small sized uSD, 1gb would be fine).
Even if you flash the correct CID, without removing HSPL first, it would still throw an error message "ROM update error bla bla bla" during flashing Radio.
Then it will restart and retry to flash again on it's own.
By the way, I don't know if there are ways to flash HSPL from uSD.
Or guide on how to make a "gold card".
I sugest you search it.
Worth to try if you couldn't find the correct CID for your device.
CID from serial number?
Yes, back in 2010/11 HTC site provides s/n checking for download the correct ROM.
But now it's gone.

Thank you very, very much for helping such a newbie ^^
At this moment, I am able to get into the update-menu: I changed the filename to LEOIMG.nbh. The only problem is that all the Dutch images give the same error: 00018003 : Radio (V2) - FAIL.
What could I do to solve this error? Use the freezer-trick or wouldn't it make any sense?
edit: it does boot when I connect to another W7 pc with WMDC (replies " Not connected" ), only it automatically starts the update-procedure (which fails).
There are no such thing as newbie, that's why we need to learn.
Error 00018003 during Radio flash?
I have no idea what error is that.
But first, are you sure that your friend bought the phone on local shop?
I mean, not imported, or when he/she travel overseas, or has the mainboard swapped at HTC service center.
It happens to me when my second HD2 suddenly has no signal, about 2 years ago.
Brought it to local service center and they swapped the mainboard without telling me.
And the swapped mainboard has CID from 404 (europe), the original was 707 (indonesia).
Okay, back to error something.
WMDC won't recognize the phone unless it's a working WM6.5 device, or a working WP7 device with WP7 SDK + Zune installed on your PC.
Just put the phone into bootloader screen (3 color screen), then connect it to a clean PC.
Does the "Serial" changed to "USB"..?
If it does, reflash HSPL 2.08 using HSPL4 package.
Then flash Radio ROM only, 2.15.50.14 is a good one.
Again, an EU HD2 can use either EU's Radio ROM or T-Mobile's Radio ROM.
But a T-Mobile HD2 can only use a T-Mobile's ROM..!
If the "Serial" doesn't change to "USB" but on your PC makes sound like something is plugged in, open device manager and look for an unknown device (no drivers loaded).
Expand it, what does it says?
To be honest: I am not 100% sure that it is an European (Dutch) phone. What I saw when I opened the phone's back was that the warranty-seals on the screws were molested. I don't think he got the motherboard replaced: way to expensive in relation to a new phone...
The bootloader screen gives now the following text:
RUUNBH
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Upgrade ROM error
Please try again
When I connected it to a clean pc, the phone booted and gave another upgrade-error, only this time on a black screen (I got the uSD out the phone).
After booting the phone and connecting to a pc the "serial" does not change to "usb"...
When I tried to install WMDC I get the error "Installationpackage not supported by processor". Seems like bullcrap, but there it ends. No yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager...
I have yet not tried to flash a T-Mobile ROM to the phone. I have tried all the NLD ROM's: 1.66.404 ; 1.48.404 ; 1.66.404 ; 3.14.404 ; 1.66.404 ; 1.43.404
I have yet not tried the other ROMs I downloaded, but I will tomorrow. To start 161 does not work.
Also: I cannot shutdown when in bootloader or MAGDLr, is that correct?
What colour are your call & end key buttons !
if white you have standard EU type model. T-Mobile EU models are same as any EU model & can flash any ROM/Radio
If green & red you have a T-Mobile USA model (TMOUS) & need correct ROM (found in HD2 Wiki)
T-Mobile USA model needs care as if flash wrong radio version you can brick it.
Flashing via SD card should be last choice as first stage of a SD card flash is install of the SPL to standard SPL from the nbh which means you have no CID bypass as HSPL gone.
ideally you need a Windows 7 32bit machine with a known working WMDC setup & try flashing a suitable rom once decided on EU or TMOUS device.
As you have HSPL on your HD2 already it will bypass CID if flash via PC so you can flash any CID code rom.
Try connecting device to PC (with known good WMDC) and use reset button on HD2 to boot to bootloader & see if get any luck in running ROM installer from PC.
If lucky the USB flash issue is PC & drivers rather than hardware on HD2.
I would suspect you have nand issues on HD2 or perhaps worse, if nand sometimes you can get it back if persistent & get something to flash completely.
Thanks MisterB for adds up.
So am I, suspected a nand issue.
The reason I want him to revert back to original SPL & Radio is to make sure that it's a nand related problems, not radio hardware problems.
If he managed to find the correct CID for his phone, he could easily reverts back in case somethings wrong in the future after playing with custom ROMs.
This also happens to my friend's phone a couple months ago.
But in her case, the bad blocks are definitely located where magldr resides, and many more on data partition.
She can flash shipped ROMs completely, but it refuses to boot.
Can't flash a WP7 ROM because magldr freezes when it's loading, can't even bring the menu screen.
She can run a native sd android build for a couple weeks, but then it acting strange again.
Then finally she just gave up and bought another phone.
@andrejazzz:
You can't shutdown on bootloader (3 color) screen.
Remove the battery is the only way to shutdown, or press the reset button to restart.
But you can shutdown/restart or anything else on magldr menu screen.
Press & hold power key right when magldr loads up (before it's start to "go go go").
In addition, you can download WMDC x86 version here, and x64 version here..
He may indeed need try SD flash but I would exhaust all options of USB cable flash via PC first as retaining HSPL will be useful to start with as any generic HTC ROM could be used for the USB cable flash.
If that is not possible then flashing via SD is only viable option & indeed many times only way get over bad boot/nand issues but with all the CID versions for HTC regions & operator branded regions you have a hard job knowing the right one, you could even try the right ROM & as it does not flash overlook it for further testing.
I see he has tried SD flashing but still has HSPL so either SD card is not best suited for nbh flashing or nand/hardware that bad even first stage of flash is not possible.
If I was testing this device & trying recovery I would probably try freezer test to cool device prior flashing & make good effort on USB flash before going on to SD card.
Most well used Android HD2s these days have nand or bga issues to some degree as android works the hardware so much harder than WM6.5.
You really need be sure PC & driver are known good for flashing & if going to SD flashing that SD card is suitable or you will waste a lot of time & effort.
Loads of links & tips for all the software & some threads are in the HD2 Wiki
I apologize for replying so late, but I have had no time: I had a few tests at school
@Mister B: I have a black HD2 with white icons, so I have a european model.
I have installed installed the X86 on a clean 32-bit system, but it does not recognize the phone. I have reinstalled the WMDC on my W7 64-bit system, but still it does not recognize the hd2. I have no other Windows Phones, so I am not able to verify the WMDC-installations.
When I connect to a pc, the phone boots and shows: "Software update failed! Please try again"
@Shadow_Nexus: Correct, that is exactly what happens. I do not completely understand what you mean with "Press & hold power key right when magldr loads up (before it's start to "go go go")", could you please explain?
@Mister B: How could I check if the SD-card might be the problem? It is a 16GB Class 4 Kingston SD. I have tried all the NLD-roms and other versions (random countries, not TMOUS). I have tried the freezer trick with a NLD-rom on a mSD, but it did not work.
Thanks for all your help!
Best using a 2gb or 4gb (8gb max) card for nbh flashing & do a proper fat32 format with something like hp format tool before using it.
link below may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317
Again, thank you very much for your reply. But: do you have any clue what ROM's I should try? I am asking this, because I have already tried all the NLD ROM's I found on the site @Shadow_Nexus gave in post #4, but every one of them returns the same error. Should I switch to another country and try, for example, all German ROM's?
I got my hands on another HD2 and when I connect that one to my pc it show up, named "HTC Sync". The bricked one still does not respond:/ Should I retry all the non-TMO roms I can find?
Edit: My brother "helped" me out and sold the phone...
