HTC HD2 stuck on bootloader screen

Sorry for the double post but my other one is on page 94 of a different thread and probally wont get seen and i am now getting desperate,anyway
I have just followed the procedure as I was going to install a different ROM from ★ Miri & DINIK "Anastasia" ROM to replace my installed ROM from ENERGY
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
First I did a task 29 and now I am now stuck in the bootloader screen with its tri colour screen with USB in the white part,if I have the cable connected or Serial if the cable is removed.
I have tried a few times but it still stays on the boot screen.I am running windows 7 32 bit on my laptop and have tried all 3 different USB ports with the same result.
How do I get the phone back working?
Thanks

Your Phone is stuck in the bootscreen because you have removed the operating system with the task29. so this is normal.
make sure you have transferred the leoimg.nbh to the storage card and disconnect the phone from the cable. reboot the phone and flashing should start automatically. if it does not
now connect your phone to the computer and you will see the screen change from serial to usb
just follow the procedure as described in on the forum to flash from a computer. you do not need to be connected to activesync to do this as the phone is already in bootloader mode. just start the flashing program as described.

Thanks for that,I did realise thats the reason its stuck in the bootloader.I have connected the phone back to the computer a few times and waited untill the USB came onto the screen but the divice does not show up in "My Computer" and when I try to restore the ROM I get a 260 connection error.

I think I have just sorted the problem,not sure the reason but it was failing on a 16GB fat32 card. I have just borrowed a 2GB card from a friend put exactly the same image on and it is now updating the ROM.
Thats strange how the card has made that much of a difference,but thanks anyway.
I'll let you know how the update goes in a few minutes when it completes.
Thanks

many people have said the same thing. 16 doesn't work, 8 sometimes works, 2 usually works.

Up and running great now,,Looks like i'll have to invest in a small 2GB card as a back up,
Thanks again

Stuck also in bootloader

I flashed my HTC Leo to Dutty Multi-lang, when finished and reboot it won't and gets stuck in the "stick together" bootloader (yes, I am with TMOUS). I did what you suggested but it still won't boot, please help!

It is 3.28.4.0

sorry, don't know what that means and i can't go hunting right now. it "sounds" like what happens when you flash a non tmous rom to a tmous, (unlike flashing the wrong radio, it doesn't brick the tmous, it just won't boot)
if i were in your shoes, id grab a known tmous compatible rom and flash that.

And how would you do that if the darn phone won't boot? I can copy a known ROM onto the card, but then how do I flash it from there? Thanks.

no need for sd card,,,boot into boot loader, connect usb, run your flash.

Problem resolved... not sure what caused it but I am a happy man now. This is what I did if this helps with people who might have the same problem.
1. Formated the SD card FAT32.
2. Copy and rename nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh to SD card.
3. Reset the phone while holding the down button. It jumps to bootloader.
4. Hook it with PC, USB is shown on the phone.
5. Download and extract SSPL_RUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh from Dutty Cream la de Cream ROM into the same folder.
6. Run SSPL_RUU and it came up and running again.
Thanks for your help though, made me feel hopeful because I was getting ready to dump the phone and run over it with my car

no worries, just for info, step two was not needed, it would have tried to flash leoimg at step three if you hadn't been using the stock gig sd card (the 16gb cards don't work, which is why the phone ignored it.)

[Q] HTC HD2 wont work any more. Maybe some one can help?

I was having some freezing issues and I was told to do a task 29 -.-
Big mistake.
I followed this step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
I used the
Repack by ShaDrac (Recommended):
And when the steps said
"use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package to flash a new rom"
I went to this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791303
and downloaded the first one "ROM version - 6.5.3.1.1 Vibrant GTX beta"
then it wont pass the splash screen. I was told to update my RADIO, so I went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
and downloaded Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26** and used CustomRUU to install it, but when I get to 99% it crashes.
What can I do?
I can still see the flash screen, so I'm guessing it's not fully bricked.
I have a US TMobile HTC HD2, which Radio should I install!
Plz HELP!

Have you tried flashing via SD card instead if USB??
a) Put the nbh file onto root of your SD card and rename it leoimg.nbh
b) Go into bootloader by powering on the phone while holding the Volume Down.
c) Flash the rom.

Any help? Plz?
What Radio do I need to download??!?!

sounds kind like mine
this sounds kinda like what happend to my hd2 look at my crazy guide i just posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961001 post 9
Please read the whole post first sorry about the mess it is my first post thanks to everyone here on xda who came up with everything i used to do this There is guides for this xda has a lovely list of tmous roms if you are on t mobile in the us http://www.xdafil.es/index.php?path=HD2/TMOUS/
i would start with the RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15 .29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip
extract the .exe file if it has one than extract the RUU_signed.nbh from the .exe file using win war or 7 zip than rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on a newly formatted microsd not a microsdhc and i had problems with anything over class 4
place it in your phone and hold the volume down button and power button as loading comes up let off volume down power button will start the flash(i was only able to do complete flashes in the freezer if not it would hang or get radio errors)
i also had a tmous which did not want to flash the radio i would get an an error and rsa fail it sounds crazy but i wrapped it in plastic and stuck it in the freezer for a while before and during the flash this was the only way i could install the radio and actually see rgd information on boot screen after this first one you will have an old test rom with an old spl you cannot change to hspl from here i also was not able to go straight to 2.10, i had to step up from RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50 .07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip, to RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50 .07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.zip the same way i did the first one,hard resetting after each one and let it open windows completely to know it is working. than i believe there is an hspl3 file somewhere out there with all thanks to DarkForces Team HardSPL3 by bepe and Cotulla i will try to attach it that will work with spl 2.02 wich you should now be on now you can download your radio in the master radio thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
i also just renamed the ruu_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and ran through sd i seem to have problems through usb and i was trying to be careful with the radio
once you got the radio you want you could flash the rom preferably running task 29 before or get yourself magldr to install through nand i also stuck my laptop an the freezer with the phone to get wp7 completely installed i did all this mess with a phone that had a broken screen i think there is like thermal compound over the processor to the case that is not on right and overheats when not in the operating system like a crappy old laptop with its fans full of stuff trying to install xp. and while a stock rom was being installed the usb was pulled during the radio installation i hope this helps i belive i saw one post to stick it in the freezer out of everything that i think helped the most.i also notice i have to put it in the freezer at boot too sometimes or i will get a fatal hit error i think its just over heating..... i also have an hd2 which has never been opened before that i have never had to stick in the freezer it gets flashed quite abit right now running gingerbread on normal hd2 and wp7 dual boot android 2.2 on the one i had to freeze i hope this helps i was here for weeks reading reading i was stumped cus my first hd2 and g1 were so eazy i will update this post once i stop being lazy and open the phone again to replace the goop to see if that is the problem
Thank you for reading my jumble and thanks again to all you phone heads here on xda which without you none of this would be possible and i would not have wp7 and gingerbread on my hd2 : D
i hope i dont get in trouble for posting this again you can remove one if you like moderator just trying to help after all the help i have gotten here

Well I don't know which Radio I need to download and install. I also dont have a microsd I only have a microSDHC (16GB and a 4GB)
UPDATE: OMG you saved me! Thank you so much! From that link I downloaded a TMOUS (TMOUS means T MObile US... Lol I didn't know that) and now is working fine!
YEs!, so happy!
Thank you again.

Bricked or?

Hi there
I got an HD2 from a friend (he bought off ebay) and seems to just boot to the Tmobile sticking together logo and won't boot.
I don't think it charges as well...
there was no lines (radio?) at the bottom of the Sticking Together pink square screen...
is this phone bricked? or can I still flash a rom?

Ok try this, turn the phone off then hold the low volume botton n the power botton at the same time, n if it takes u to the bootloader then u r good, just search on how to install a rom of ur choise, good luck

Well the fact that it will even turn on means it is not bricked. A bricked HD2 will not even turn on the most it will do is flash tihe led light and vibrait a couple of times.
Follow the instructions of the above post and pull up bootloader, if bootloader comes up you can save the HD2. Depending on if you want to flash a official srock ROM or a custom ROM to the HD2 will dictate your next step.
If you want a official stock ROM then just download and flash the official update from T-Mobile.com just type in HTC HD2 update in the search box on the home page and you will find it. You will have to enter the IMEI number to download it wich you can find this number behind the battery. To flash it connect the HD2 to a computer via USB cable while in bootloader and wait for the serial in the white bar at the bottom of the bootloader screen to change to USB and the computer to show it recognizes the HD2 then run the update utility and follow all the on screen instructions.
If you want to flash a custom ROM as in custom Windows Mobile, NAND Andriod ROM, or Windows Phone 7 ROM then you will have to flash HSPL to the HD2. Download HSPL4 and flash 2.08 HSPL if hou want to flash a NAND Andriod ROM as MAGLDR only supports 2.08 HSPL. Or a Windows Phone 7 Rom, or flash 3.03 if you just want to flash a custom Windows Mobile ROM.
Now if you want a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 you will have to download MAGLDR and flash it to the HD2.
If you want a custom Windows Mobile ROM download the ROM of your choice and fladh it using the .exe or RUU wich ever one the ROM has. Note do all flashing of what I have previously mentioned via the method I mentioned before.
If you are wanting to flash a NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM then download the ROM of your coice and flash it using MAGLDR and the instructions of the ROM developer in thread for the ROM.
Now this is very important. I see from the picture you have a T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2 so no matter what you do, do not flash a ROM with a radio version that reads like these 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any radio that is x.xx.51.xx they will brick/kill a TMOUS HD2.

I would recommend flashing a stock T-Mobile ROM, since that appears to be the flavor of the phone. This will install the correct radio. Once the phone is working, continue as per normal for flashing the ROM. You will have to reinstall hardspl.

thanks for the info guys! i really appreciate the support!
it seems like it won't read the USB... is the port busted?

try this:
1) download your stock ROM.
2) put it on your SD card via a card reader, you want an .NBH file.
3) rename the file LEOIMG.NBH
4) make sure the phone is off, make sure your SD card is back in your phone.
5) hold down and power
6) it should go to a tri-color screen and say something about flashing the image, hit power to confirm
7) it should flash no problems.

Have exactly the same problem with my friends phone.
Its a TMOUS and sticks on the same boot screen.
He screwed it up when trying to install Android NAND on it.
I can enter bootloader And I have managed to get rid of MAGLDR and CWM.
I have HSPL 3.03 installed on it, but when I try to install the latest ROM from TMOUS it fails at 8% and tells me that
'ERROR 290: INVALID COMMAND
This update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility'
Tried copying the relevant file to the SD card and renaming it leoimg.nbh but the install fails HERE aswell with the error:
"RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail"
I managed to install an energyrom onto it, but it wouldnt go past the initial boot screen
Any help appreciated

Try running a Task 29 on your friends HD2. This willtotally clean out the NAND memory of the HD2 and reformat it, kinda sounds like that is what is needed to be done. He may have messed the NAND memory format up when he was trying to install the Andriod. You will have to reflash a Windows Mobile ROM after you run the Task 29 as it will not ha e a ROM on the phone then. You will not have to reflash HSPL cause it will not remove it.

It seems that the problem is RADIO related. I can task 29, and I can install The latest Energyrom, but I CANT install a radio.
There is no radio ON the phone at the minute it seems. When I try to do a radio install, it asks me if I want to go from version ' ' to the update I am using.
None of the installers see a radio on the phone, and trying to install the radio always fails at 96%. This would seem to be the same if I try to install the official TMOUS latest ROM with radio from SD Card. It fails at the radio install part.......
Maybe time for a new thread for this one.......

[Q] Returning HD2 from android back to stock, HELP!!!

Hi Guys,
I am getting desperate with my HD2. I've read and tried most of your advices here on XDA, but I can't get rid of HSPL from my phone and return to stock ROM to send it for repair.
When I tried to flash my phone directly from SD card with renamed .nbh file, it would always get stuck at some point of installation and would leave me with phone that wouldn't boot, neither Android nor Windows. When I flash the phone thru USB while in boot loader mode (i tried few roms and radios, most recently radio 2.06.51.07 with HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2 rom)
It would install correctly and even boot the Win Mobile, but once restarted it wouldn't boot again and would get stuck on a blank white screen. Also the HSPL is still shown on the boot loader screen.
when I repeated the process and installed both radio and rom again, the same thing would repeat and I'm stuck on blank screen again.
My boot loader screen shows this:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
cotulla HSPL 0x40
The phone was from UK Virgin mobile, but came unbranded and I'm not sure what the stock rom was. I tried flashing it with SPL 2.08, but that wouldn't get me rid off the HSPL.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Get hspl2, and choose 1.66.0000
Retry the wwe 1.66 rom again.
Post results.
Spl 2.x is tmous spl, and doesn't like to let itself downgrade, which is what the 1.66 rom is trying to do.

thanks for the reply!
Just tried and it went without any error logs (only took couple of seconds) and claimed it was successfully installed, but when restarted, the boot loader screen still says SPL-2.08 HSPL.
any other ideas?

stuck radio then, most likely, which often prevemts spl from changing too.
no definitive answer as to what exactly causes it, , corrupted nand most likely.
when you say it sticks part way thru the flashing, , does it stick around 8-10%? if so then its definitely a stuck radio problem. do you get 'radio_rsa fail' or something similar?
sadly there isn't any way i know of to fix it. all i can suggest is you try various troms from sd. i read one thread (out of hundreds with teh same issue) where the OP finally found one stock rom that took.
dont forget that it needs to be teh correct stock rom, not just any stock rom. so an O2 uk hd2 must use o2 uk stock roms. 1.42, 1.72 or 3.14.
locate your correct stock roms and try them all.

Yea exactly thats what I get when flashing from SD card, stuck soon at around 10% and brings up the radio fail log.
When I do that and try to flash them all from SD card, shall I install radio first or it doesn't matter when flashing ROM from SD card?
Any idea how to find out what's the stock rom for my hd2? I tried HTC site but you can't download anything from there for HD2 since they updated their site.
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

doesnt matter when flashing stock roms, they all imclude a radio. It cant hurt to try flashing teh radio separately, but i suspect teh same outcome.

pretty sure virgin phones came rom unlocked, so look at teh filenames of teh roms, , you want 'HTC-WWE' where HTC means unbranded, and wwe means world wide english.
example
o2 branded rom filename .. RUU_Leo_S_O2_UK_3.14.206.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
unbranded rom filename ... RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
ALso, see the green numbers? thats the same for all same roms, so all o2 roms are 206 and all unbranded wwe are 405
Also, shall the SD card be formated with ext3 system partition on it (the android setup) or just use an empty FAT32 formatted card?

shouldnt matter, but again it cant hurt to fully format the phone to fat32, full format, not quick format.

Thanks for your help man! Will try and post results later.

Thats because you are not booting into the right bootloader. See pt 4 below.
No need for all the hassle, there is a really easy way to do this. This will revert your phone ENTIRELY. Remember to have at least 50% battery before doing this:
1.Download official ROM and extract with winRAR or WinZip.
2.Rename the *.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
3.Format a SD card with FAT32 and put the LEOIMG.nbh file in the root directory
4.Insert the card to the phone and enter bootloader (While phone is Off:Hold Volume down & press power button)
5. The bootloader will recognize the .nbh file and ask if you want to flash it. Follow instructions
6.Wait a few minutes and you are back to WM6.5

Tried, doesnt work. Explained in the first post.

why are you sending it for repair in the first place?

I dropped it once and since then has the screen got some weird yellowish/greenish colours. seems like some contacts got fu**ed up, but there isnt any mechanical damage visible, so they should repair under the warranty.

But only if in bootloader the spl says 1.42.0000 1.66.0000 or 3.03.0000
Anything else will be rejected.

What you mean by 'not the right boot loader'. I did get it to start installation and recognise the file, but after a while it would come up with a error log saying something like radio failed or something like that...

Yea I know, thats why Im trying to put it back to stock.

what size sd card are you flashing the .nbh file from? you will need to use a 4gb or smaller sd card.
what he meant by the right bootloader i think was to be flashing the .nbh from the tri-color bootloader, not from MAGLDR or CWM Recovery.
If you are using a 4gb or smaller card and it's still failing at the radio, then you might as well try flashing a few different radio's by themselves and maybe you'll get one of them to take, then possibly be able to get out of HSPL

well yea, thats what will be trying to do next.
it wont let me to MAGLDR or CWM, seems like these files got corrupted too so yea, im using the tri-color bootloader.
and its 2GB sd card im using
so i guess the only way now is to try flash different roms...

dude 2-3 days back even i was facing the same problem, and here i am writing , how i get through this. i guess you already tried this, but still i am writing so that you get some help...
1)i use hspl2 and select 1.42.0000 to remove my hspl 2.08.
2)extract stock rom using "7-zip" and in the extracted folder find "RUU_signed.nbh" rename it to "LEOIMG.nbh". copy that file to your formated fat32 micro sd card.
3) reset the your hd2 while holding vol down and end call button.
4) first a tri-color screen will appear, keep pressing both the buttons, then a gray screen will come with written "loading".
5) after that 1 more gray screen will appear, loose the vol down button now, rest everything will go smooth, u dont have to do anything.

1)i use hspl2 and select 1.42.0000 to remove my hspl 2.08.
2)extract stock rom using "7-zip" and in the extracted folder find "RUU_signed.nbh" rename it to "LEOIMG.nbh". copy that file to your formated fat32 micro sd card.
3) reset the your hd2 while holding vol down and end call button.
4) first a tri-color screen will appear, keep pressing both the buttons, then a gray screen will come with written "loading".
5) after that 1 more gray screen will appear, loose the vol down button now, rest everything will go smooth, u dont have to do anything.

but if you return to hspl 1.42.000 the you cant flash your rom ..you need hspl 2.08 only to flash

Thanks zaaaan but I got bit luckier and virgin replaced the phone for no extra charge. I was 2 weeks before the end of the contract and I gave it a shot, sent it to virgin. They got back to me saying that they cant repair it and will therefore send me a replacement phone. I got new desire, bit smaller, but android on it runs really nicely and most of all its built for it, so no more flashing and killed hours of running in circles.
then I got 20£ discount just to stay with them on no contract. they got me
should probably add that the phone still had hspl on it

[Q] HTC HD2 bricked, can load bootloader cant install any ROM

HI everyone,
This is the first time for me posting a thread here...thanks in advance.
Well I have a HTC HD2 that is a friends of mines. He was trying to change the radio so it could work in another country and managed to brick the phone. He got tired of trying to fix the phone so he gave it to me. I have tried fixing it with a tool kit I downloaded in another thread here. I managed to get it to boot butt it wouldn't get past T-Mobile screen...I kept on messing with it trying to install a ROM and different radios but non will work and wont turn on anymore but still is able to be recognize but PC(not mobile media center) and the last thing I did was task29. It stopped at 99%...still can load bootloader 3 colors but having a harder time getting the phone recognize by PC. Can anyone help me before I get into a deeper hole? If your need any more detail please ask me...btw the phone is running SPL- 3.03 HSPL in boot loader.

to the rescue !!

your friend shouldnt have flashed the radio without proper info !!
radio is the only thing which bricks the device !!!
dont worry we'll try to sort something out !!
firstly start with flashing a proper radio !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
download the radio 2.15.50.14 from this thread and flash it !!
NOTE : if you cant flash radio from ur pc, via nbh installer or the toolkit, you can flash it from a memory card !!
just format a normal memory card, put the radio on the card, rename the radio file to LEOIMG.nbh and get to the bootloader screen !!
follow the instructions from there and flash the radio !!
secondly if you want android or wp7-7.5 on ur device !! hspl 3.03 wont work !!
so install hspl 2.08 for that !!
for winmo6.5 3.03 is ok !!
do a task 29 once and flash any rom or magldr(for android or wp7-7.5)!!
good luck .....

thanks for quick reply
I am trying to do what you instructed me.

Didn't work
I tried it on the PC and it sadly stopped @ 96%, now it wont turn on volume down+power. Battery was charged and i didn't turn off. It displayed error 262. as soon as I can I will try it on sd card. Thanks though.

I was not able to install the radio but did in fact get to task29 successfully and MAGLDR Version-1.13. Now my phone is stuck in the Stick together screen. Can anyone help me from here what should I do. thanks I will be waiting for a responce.

Do you still need help cos its really easy to unbrick your phone and I say this because once I flashed 5 different roms in 2 hours or less and my phone wouldn't even turn on and when it did it would get stuck on the tmObile splash screen and restart but I fixed it and now I'm running the best Rom out there lol... reply to this thread and I'll tell you what to do

The thing is that I can't get any ROM's to finish installing...in the SD card the power button does not work...and in the computer the fartest I gotten was 99% but always stops and gives me error ussualy Error 262. Ireally don't know what to do. MY friend said he took it to an Asian Guy...I noticed that the battery S/N does not match the phone...can this have an effect...I haven't been able to flash any ROMS successfully not even the debranded stock. I flashed several phones and installed many different custom firmwares but this phone has been a real challenge...I'm over 2 weeks in...Thanks for the help thus far you guys are the best...

leoimg.nbh won't start to install
Hi everyone,
I have a severe problem with my HTC HD2 after installing a NAND version of android which did not work very well, than wanting to reinstall winmob 6.5 (vodafone) it startet "loading" the leoimg.nbh from the SD-card, but than stayed in this status neverending. So I interrupted (was that the mistake?? :-( }. Now I'm able to start MAGLDR 1.13, am also able to install another NAND version, but with every version I get the message: problem with android.xxx and so on.
I can start the bootloader modus (SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE), also connect by USB, but if I try to reload any leoimg.nbh from SD card - it does nothing, just stays in the bootloader modus.
Did I destroy any hardware by interrupting the non functioning "loading"?
Please help, if you can, what I could do now to get a functioning NAND android again!
Many thanks in advance!!!

freak just try the task 29 and u might return everything to normal condition
and for future never interrupt the installation process as u can brick ur device
for the main topic, i can say that ur device is fully bricked and the only way is taking it to the service center or try flashing directly into the hardware, but thats dangerous and requires professional skills

Plz help!

Please can you help me.. I did the same thing.. it kept getting stuck at 0% and then i had to wait like an hour and then i tried again.. now its completely dead!
Please tell me what to do..
Thanks

First of all; This steps can solve your problem. But first of all(don't forget to check 2.08.HSL) try to use "Task29" and if it is success, load Radio ROM 2.15.50.14, and load original Winmo 6.5 ROM (Tmous or EU which phone do you use).
If you are stuck somewhere, then;
Download an original ROM for your HTC device from HTC webside.
- Format your SD card like FAT32 primary.
- Take "RUU_signed.nbh" from an original ROM and copy it to your SD card.
- Rename to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset your device while pressing the volume down button.
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14;
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1; ( contains task 29, magldr and recovery and also HSPL)
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1

it's revived!

After several attempts to switch on the phone it finally turned on so I immediately installed stock ROM and it didn't get stuck on 0%.. it worked!!
Do you think I should perform a task 29 now or I can just proceed with installing a new radio and then installing a new ROM?
Thanks again mate!
Apparently I need to install SPL 2.08 before trying to install HSPL and then run android.. anyone know where I can find it?
Nevermind figured everything out Thanks anyway

If you want to change your ROM with one another like Android NAND ROM or Windows 6.5 ROM, then use this procedures.
For NAND Android ROM; You must flollow this sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, and format your sdcard ext3 or ext4 and 1gb (which one you must use is pointed out by your Android chief). Copy new Android ROM into your sdcard's FAT32 section. insert it into your HTC device.
1. do task29
2. instal radio rom 2.15.50.14
3. install magldr 1.13
4. do recovery 5.0.2.6
5. do clear cache and dalvik cache.
6. Choose your android ROM .zip file on sdcard, load and enjoy...
For Windows 6.5 Follow this sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, Format your sdcard like FAT 32 primary partition. insert it into your HTC device.
1. do Task29
2. Install Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
3. Run LeoCustomRUU.exe like "Run as Administrator" which Windows 6.5 rom you chose to use.

Are you booting into bootloader and connecting the device to your computer so you can get the HTC Sync connection. Just boot into bootloader by holding the volume down button down and poewering on your device. Connect it to your computer via USB and when you see Serial in the white bar of boo5tloader change to USB you have the HTC Sync connection and can flash your device.

I face a very odd problem with my HD2 EU. After years of 2 different versions of Android on nand I decided to reset it to stock(Vol down+power with leoimg.nbh in root of a FAT32 formatted microsd). When I get in bootloader mode there seem to be 2 instances of bootloader. The first 3 colour screen with all the right wordings lasts a second or two then I get a second 3 colour screen with the same wordings. With my Verbatim 8Gb class4 microsd formatted FAT32 and leoimg.nbh (obtained from the original RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.66.408.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship.exe) in the root directory, the device does not recognize the file and it's not possible to restore the phone to stock, but I can only get into usb connection.
Being able to get in usb mode with the various versions of HSPL (1-2-3-4) I can still change the bootloader. With the HD2 Android toolkit 4.2.0.1 I can install cLK, Magldr, do a Task29 and repartition.
When I use the RUU installer I can install the RUU_signed.nbh that I used to get the leoimg.nbh BUT when I do it, and it does finish gracefully, on the screen that states the currently installed image THE INDICATION OF SUCH AN IMAGE IS BLANK whilst the name of the image to install is the one I am flashing.If I reflash the same image AGAIN (so I know what's on the device) the info of the installed image is never displayed.So after trying the various bootloaders HSPL and SPL and getting the same result you are my only resort.
Has anybody experienced such a problem? It is as if the the bootloader goes through a script that then starts a second "identical" bootloader (I understand that I may seem crazy) that is not capable of recognizing a leoimg.nbh. All my buttons are still working so it's definitely not a button problem. Therefore in a nutshell the question is: if I can't get the device to recognize a leoimg.nbh is there any other way to make it do so, given that I can communicate via usb without problems ?
