Hi everyone,
Sorry for just another post with the boot error after reinistalling a new Android ROM on an HTC HD Mini.
I've done a hard reset in order to have the phone with a clear Android installation, but for what I read until know I shouldn't have done that.
Now, despite following all the steps in order to install a new Android ROM I get stoke in boot with the messages:
ERROR: Cannot read recovery header
ERROR: Cannot read read kernel image
ERROR: Could not do normal boot
As far as I know, I need to get the phone back working with WM6.5 and only after that I can install a new Android ROM.
So, my question is, how can I instal WM6.5 ROM with the phone in this state?
Best regards,

I've managed to get myself stuck up a dead end.
My device: Orange UK spv c500.
SPL: 2.00.0013
OS: None!
I upgraded to wm2005 but despite updating the reg keys posted by subliminal I couldn't install the certificate I use to ActiveSync with my Exchange Server; so I decided to downgrade.
I immediately realized my first mistake - I didn't have a backup of the old ROM on SD. Instead I downloaded one from a link in one of the forums and used psdwrite to put it on my SD card. I ran the update, but it failed and the device wouldn't start.
My next mistake was to try and re-flash the 'phone with the latest Orange UK ROM (v4.2.1.1). What I'd forgotten was that this updates the bootloader at the same time.
The flash appeared to go fine, but on restart I'm stuck in the bootloader. When I attempt to re-flash again the summary in the RUU says "Image Version:" ie no image version present.
If I was still on a v1 bootloader I'd be able to run IU_SPL+PatchedRUU again to give me an IU mode bootloader. With a v2 bootloader I can run this as many times as I want, but it won't put a lower version on.
Without an IU mode bootloader I can't "r2sd spl" to use itsme's dowload tools. Without a working OS I cant use TyphoonNBFTools to flash the SPL.
Can you think of any other solution?
If there was someway to "con" the rom update process into installing an older version of the SPL I'd be OK. Alternatively if it was possible to change the version of the SPL in SPVDEVS-SPL.nbf I could get it on.
Thanks for your help.

I'm new at this. I've followed the directions on how to install cooked ROM but I keep getting an error (Error 262). I don't know what to do anymore. I've changed computers, played with the connection settings, reinstalled Window Mobile Device Center, and it still hangs on me. I have to recover and I'm back to square one. I'm trying to install the Core Evo. Any tips? They would be greatly appreciated.
Would be helpful to know your spl/hspl version ...
Your phone type, HD2 / TMOUSHD2 ...
Did you put HSPL3 on first?
so on and so forth ...
If you can post your phone info and the info at the top of your bootloader screen would be helpful ..
I had the same problem as you.
I solved it by flashing with new HSLP3. After i used this flash i had no problem with error 262 and been able to install any custom roms.
HSPL3 is on this forums.
I decided to change WM6.5 on my htc hd 2 phone, Flashed to 2.08 HSPL
and Radio to 2.15, Installed MAGLDR.
I wanted to install andriod rom image but using Dark Force installer, I have an error msg that is as follows can anybody help me.
SD Kernel open failed, appears in red colour, before eMAGLDR Menu
When Boot menu appears and I try and install andriod by Dark Force installer the following msg comes up.
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
I want to install andriod, but would be happy to revert to WM6.5 ,can anybody help. (it is wife's telephone and she is angry with me! you will save me)

It looks like you have to start all over from the beginning, try a youtube tutorial there are many out there and many of the more experienced techs on here actually post those videos. Good luck and make sure you follow it step by step. Also check out a thread by a moderator by the name of MSkip he posted on here directions on how to install a rom on your phone.. it's located in the HD2 section.
I think you've probably got everything right except for the actual ROM flash. There aren't too many Android NAND roms that you can flash the usual way (i.e the DAF like loaders you used for HSPL and magldr), but you can try flashing CWM and then a good NAND Android rom. Check out the Android NAND development forum for a suitable rom to flash, you'll most likely find the relevant instructions there. Or you can start over with YouTube tutorials to guide you (that's what I did). Best of luck.
I have a HD2 but the down button is not working.
It has magldr 1.3 installed and the phone is running CM7. The mod version is MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (v2.6) A2SD+
I really want to install a more up to date rom,a miui rom would be my chosen way.
Ive tried going through the process for one such rom.
I get to the point of running DAF and I get the following error:-
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)
Error Description: CONFIG: file not exist
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (359)
After this I tried selecting the AD recovery option I get this message in MAGLDR saying "No boot sources"
Ive no idea if cLK is even installed on the phone.
Any help with repairing the down button would be great. Ive seen new housings on ebay and one thread I read suggested this would replace the volume rocker. can anyone confirm this or a way of repairing it would be great.
Im not new to Android but I usually use clockwork mod on my other devices.
This HD2 Android experience is totally new!
I know that using clockwork mod I dont need a down button because I can go straight into recovery from rom manager. I have rom manager on the phone and have installed clockwork mod but what ever I do the phone just goes into MAGLDR.
Ive spent the best part of today trying to sort this out but all ive ended up with is a huge headache.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Welcome to the world of HD2
go to these steps:
- Run Task29 (will delete you phone storage complete (all data will be erase!)).
- Make sure you've got the right radio rom - but i think so
- install MAGLDR or CLK - i would prefer magldr for beginners
- flash Clockwork Mod Recovery
- flash your rom
if you need help with these steps, look in the forum after the HD2 Toolkit or even take a look with my tool (see signature) - its not up2date - but the steps and the tools which im using are )
i hope i can help ya a bit
edit:
oh your down button dont work - bad.. no down button no clockworkmod :/
Hi aagain, I'm glad you started a new thread.
I'd get a magldr user to confirm this before you try it but I think the 'no boot sources' error means cwm isn't present or corrupt. I know magldr users can flash cement via DAF but don't know if you have to do it from trial colour screen, if so your SOL. Try looking into flashing recovery via adb fastboot, I'm sorry I don't have time to research more for you, have a driving lesson in 10 min's
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Thanks for your reply.
I tried doing a task 29 wipe but the problem is I need a down button to get the phone in that mode.
Hmm ive never used adb fastboot but is it possible to do everything I need to do with this to get it working this way?
Update:-
I found a past post saying about AD recovery No sources found error and a fix was given where you used to HD2 tookit to do a MAGLDR Repartition.
I tried this and I can now access clockwork mod via MAGLDR.
Ok ive now been able to install the miui rom I wanted.
Many thanks for your help guys
Hi guys,
I wanted to return to the original W.M 6.5 in order to install new Android NAND, so I formatted my SD card, placed the image and loaded the bootloader. Unfortunately, the installation was interrupted. After that when trying to repeat the procedure bootloader says "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again" . I am trying again, but the same thing happens over and over again. I tried installing it via USB connection, but it installs 1% and gives the same error "000028002 NOT ALLOW".
Does that mean that I have bricked my phone and if not, how am I to fix that and install what I wanted to install?
Message says it all. ROM code error.
Fliashing from SD will remove HSPL so you have no CID bypass.
ROM you are flashing is not matching your devices country ID so you need to find a ROM that is correct to flash via SD or flash via USB & flash a suitable HSPL first.
Before proceeding flashing, check ROM & radios are correct for your device as too many people are bricking their devices by silly mistakes these days.
Thank you!
My phone is an Orange bought form UK. I fount the required ROM (ver. 3.14), but the same thing happens again. I tried to find the original 1.72, but it cannot be foung anywhere. Any ideas?
Flash HSPL via USB then ROM via USB
I managed to install the stock ROM, now I am going to pick a nice NAND Adnroid.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated!
