I think it's taken a knock and now it won't boot. I just get a white screen. If I try a hard reset it gives me the text that I'll wipe all personal settings etc.
I've flashed to a duttys ROM and a 2.x.50.x radio and I'm on O2. Is there any way I can fix this as I'm guessing the ROm update voided the warrenty. As the Hard reset shows text I can see something is working but even plugging it into my PC via USB gets no response.
If anyone can help it would be a major relief.
Let it do the hard reset and see what happens. So you'll lose what ever MMS/SMS you didn't delete, the programs you have loaded since putting the ROM on, etc etc. Your not going to lose all your numbers unless they are stored on the actual phone and not the SIM card.
You could try doing a task29 on it and see if that helps. As for the warranty being voided it just depends on whether or not it can be wiped and loading with a OEM ROM back onto it with the correct HSPL before sending it back. You haven't bricked it if you can get into bootloader or hard reset.
I have tried the hard reset but no joy. It runs the reset but then on boot back to white screen. I'm not fussed about the contacts etc as it's all backed up. Have removed the SD card too.
Do a task29 on it. Flash a new radio and ROM(would suggest OEM) and then get back to us. Worst case something got knocked loose inside and it needs to go to HTC for repair.

i've encountered this lately for some strange reason ( being a flash junky) but found my way out of it.
flash your stock ROM via sdcard method, this will reset the spl to the original. (you can easily flash hspl anyway afterwards when you tire of the stock rom).
Ignore my post below. Have drained the battery overnight and this morning have been able to boot to:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPl-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
SERIAL
From here I'm hopeful I can do something.

Sorry guys - but I don't understand how I am meant to do a task29 or ROM via SD card method when I cannot link by USB/ActiveSync or see anything on the screen.

The microSD method does not require your phone to connect to the computer.
Here from the newbie guide to flashing a ROM:
Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash
This flashes your phone back to warranty status - it replaces the HardSPL, the ROM and the Radio.
Once your phone is repaired, you can always HardSPL your phone again.
I've tried using the HSPL tool to re-install back to 1.41 and other SPLs. The application says it's successful but when I restart the bootloader still reads:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
have tried Flashing ROMs and running Task29. Everytime the Bootloader switches to the updating progress bar then crashes out to Error [262].
I dont have a card reader to try from the SD card but even if I did I'm starting to feel doubtful.
are you sure, that the radio is compatible with the rom?
i'm pretty sure its the same fail.
DN41
OK - booting from FAT32 formatted microSD.
Stock ROM failed
Radio_2.08.50.05 failed
maybe a corrupt image file ? try downloading another one and see if that helps
I've tried 2 images. They get to different points at the radio install then fail. Try to get another img.
Starting to despair a little now. Trying to get just the radio on to start with.
This radio installs up to 100% (instead of about 20%) then reads:
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL
Radio_V2Fail
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I really am getting desperate now having spent almost all day working on this.
Try using the supplied 2GB microSD card that came with the phone. Sometimes there are problems with using larger cards.
Thanks for the idea however I'm using a spare 1GB.
Silly question, but it is an O2 original ROM (assuming that is what your phone originally had on it) you downloaded and are flashing and not an HTC stock ROM (ie 1.66 WWE)?
I have tried both.
I am on the same issue here. Have read almost anything i could find to fix this. Am able to change spl through hspl2 successfully but showing the same spl 1.42 hspl in bootloader. The thing is only unable to flash radio. I can flash a custom rom with sd card but after flashing when it boot up only a white screen is showing. When i try to install a official stock rom it shows that the radio v2 not installed successfully. So its probably radio problem. Hope some one could help us fix this. I tried installing a radio with the sd card and still gets the radio v2 fail. Tried installing custom rom and radio with the usb but doest go beyond 0% and error shown in the pc. HELP HELP HELP

With the steps I describe here I was able to recover the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
But only if you follow the exact steps!
I tried many stock roms first and all were stuck on the radio.
Only the method I describe worked for me.
Good luck.
for you guys across the pond, don't you have to flash a .51 radio, not a .50 that you were using for the custom ROMs?
Ever since I went to wp7 and back to android, my amazing hd2 has never been the same since. For weeks I have had freezing, so wanted to get a clean slate and start over. I did the following
Task29
Magldr 1.3
wanted to install nexushd2 so had to install
CWM_Recovery_for_NexusHD2_135M
it crashed towards the end of the install, ok I try to go back to magldr...but even tho I hold the button I dont get the options. I try it all again...same problem. I heard going back to stock 3.14 will fix most problems...it also hangs but at 8%?
Its now 6am and I need sleep...can anybody help...I really need a phone for tomorrow.
Thanks in advance

Is that ok?
I got a quick question, did you reformat your SD card after you removed Windows Phone 7? If not this is probably your pro.lemons as WP7 cormates your card in a funky way so the phone tvinls the SD card is the enternal memory, I forget what it is called. But this is the same in WP7 native devices as they actually use SD card for memory and not enternal chips.
The best way to do this is to either vet an adapter and put your card in a digital camera and format it. Then reformat it again to Fat with your computer. Are you can just use your computer, but I suggest the digital camera as it will 100% remove the funky format.
Go into bootloader and flash a correct stock rom from USB. If it doesn't take confirm it's correct for your phone and try again.
sticking at 8% means a problem with installing the radio.
Put it in a plastic bag and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes. remove and reflash.
I would recommend extracting the 3.14 installation file (using winrar).
Rename the RUU_signed.nbh to 'LEOIMG.nbh'.
Copy this file into the root of your SD Card, and pop the card in the phone.
Boot the phone whilst holding in the volume down button and let it flash.
If cooling the phone helped, send it back under warranty (you have got rid of HSPL, so all is good now.
I got mircosdhc to usb today, copied LEOIMG.NBH to sd, tried to flash but getting 28002 error not allowed
i then throws me back to spl 1.42
I have tried both 3.14 and 1.66 official roms...both sdflash and romupdateutility.
When I try sdflash with leoimg.nbg it gets to 1% then shuts down.
Is my hd2 dead? it doesnt even get orange led charge :-/
Tri colour screen now says

Is that ok, I dont remember if being that
update
cant flash radios either, shows the progress bar then restarts.
I tried :
2.15.50.14
Gutted, its my best phone ever
hmm, quite a rash of stuck radios this past week or so, , hardware coming to the end of its flashable life?
@OP, some people are recommending (myself included it seems, by passing it on) chilling the phone in a sealed bag in fridge freezer, no sim no sd, then when its cool, put sd in and try to flash real quick, try a few times, keeping it sealed and cool.
Aparently the theory is that the hardware is overheating, and the cooling lets it work well enough for a little while.
There are one or two what look like success stories, it has to be said, but i wouldn't put a bet on it myself just yet.
Good luck.
(oh and i wouldnt put the phone in the bag in a warm room either, , take it outside for a while first, let it be cool before it goes in teh bag, less chance of condensation.)
It doesnt look good...either get a black screen with a triangle!
or if I get into the tri colour bootloader it says:
upgrade rom code error please try again
everytime i try flash a radio it goes either 0% or 8% reboots phone.
I wish I stayed on sd...never had any problems ever...ever since win7 my phone hasnt been the same.
Any more advice or links would be great, keep em coming. I dont want to give up on my hd2 just yet...Im mean its still (imo) one of the best android phones about

this might be overstating an obvious that you've thought of, but are you sure you are using the correct stock ROM for your region? Have you tried flashing a custom ROM just to see what happens?

that would be a stock spl then,, and with the rom update error, that means you have flashed the wrong stock rom from sd card. It has removed hspl, then the flash failed because you had (have) stock 1.42.0000 spl.
enter bootloader - usb - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl HSPL not 0000 - into bootloader again, has the spl changed? if not, then flashing is stuck, and you are in the stuck radio situation, if it HAS changed, now try flashing a rom or radio, , , flash from usb, see what happens.

Are they ok?
You could go to HTC's website, and search for HD2, and then go to downloads, and try downloading the newest rom that the site offers. You need to enter your serial number which is located under the battery. With some luck you will end up having a shipped rom, which has the same cid as your phone, and you will then be able to flash your phone via usb cable (from the tricolor screen).
If for some reason the HTC website won't accept your srial number, try to select another country from the top right part of the website.
I live in Serbia, and the Serbian HTC page has no rom downloads for HD2, the International page won't accept my serial, but the polish page did accept it. So keep trying, until the webpage accepts your sn.
If you are in no luck, you could try downloading roms from http://www.shipped-roms.com/.
Hope you will succeed in your quest to resurrect your phone.
Best of luck

Ha, funny you should say mention that about HTCs site...but my S/N didnt work either. I wasnt sure if it was something to do with me/my phone or just the site was rubbish!
Im currently downloading an o2 rom frmo shippedroms (great site, thanks) so all my fingers and toes are crossed.
Funny thing is, I can flash hspl and hspl2, I managed to flash radio but not rom...keeps rebooting.
Did u take out sim and SD and try flashing?
@samsamuel
Well, I managed to get hspl4 on ok (2.08hspl) and then flashed a win6.5 rom it worked...but doesnt boot (stuck at flash screen)
When I downloaded official roms from both htc and shippedroms...they are corrupt. I used winrar, 7zip and tried to just run the packaged exe file...doesnt open.
Can anybody help me test these files and see if its me or have a good office rom they can upload?
@milli
when i managed to get an win6.5 rom flashed, sd was in, sim was out (i used hspl usb flash method)
EDIT - Found some o2 shipped roms on xda...extracted and going to try usb flash via hspl4
well i can flash radios and roms via hspl4 usb flash method AND usb via pc...but still cannot boot. Stuck at inital splash screen.
Any ideas now? We have made progress
edit - i have tried both custom roms and shipped o2 (uk) roms
Did you try hard reset after you'd flashed the rom(s)??
tried it once or twice, but not everytime. redownloading another rom
RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship_WORKING.exe (191,374 KB)
i hope this works...im getting desperate. Im still unsure at whats went wrong. Is it something wrong with my nand memory?
I can now flash radio, roms but yet cannot boot (Stuck at white htc splash...the red text sometimes appears...sometimes it doesnt).
edit - that rom failed to flash
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.

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
i have spent countless hours on this and still have no idea how to fix it..ive searched many threads but none have helped..
i have a htc hd2 and had it on android NAND and just yesterday booting the windows 7 phone onto it.. after it finished the phone rebooted and was stuck on the maglrd screen where it had usb flasher and tetris and all that.. soon i then realized that the maglrd had to be on version 1.3 in order to put windows 7 on it and i had version 1.1 from when i put android on it.. so it was stuck on that screen.. so then i read from a forum that to unistall maglrd and android NAND download a stock ROM for your device then run the setup while your phone is on the tri-colored bootloader screen.. so i downloaded RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe and ran it while on the boot screen after it finished my phone rebooted but then it booted straight to the bootloader screen.. then i downloaded RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe and tried the same thing but no luck.. im still stuck.. on the screen it says
PB81120 ss-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
maybe that helps.. i dont know what my radio thing is
i admit im a noob i just need HELP
You just got REAL lucky,,, PB81120 is a tmous, right? Red end key green send? Says t mobile below the earpiece?
If yes, then that second rom you flashed is the only non tmous rom that wont DESTROY the phone.
Do NOT flash any more stock roms that don't say TMOUS in the filename.
My suggestion, get tmous 3.14 rom and flash from SD card. Assuming that goes well, then flash hspl magldr etc.
Yeah it's a tmobile phone.. But how can I flash from the sd card when it doesn't even show up on my computer.. I can't select the USB drive mode on my phone for it to pull up on the comp unless there's another program I can use to explore my phone
ah right, no card reader?
well, id get the three shipped tmous roms (2.10 2.13 and 3.14, , you already have the 2.10) and try flashing them again, see if you can get any of them to boot. If you can't id suspect the stuck radio/spl problem, meaning something isn't flashing correctly (usually the radio), but the best way to see this is by sd card flashing, so if you have any access at all to an sd card reader (another phone, perhaps?) then sd card flashing will show you on screen each section as it flashes.
Don't be confused by hspl not being removed after a flash, it won't be. We'll come to that later.
Don't forget you need a 4gb or smaller sd card for flashing.
DO NOT use ANY non tmous stock roms, you will end up with a brick.
EDIT - actually, a good test for the stuck radio/spl problem is to try running hspl3 (or hspl4) and changing the spl to anything other than it currently is (2.08.hspl). If it seems to go OK, but nothing changes in the bootscreen, then that's the problem, but be aware that you could potentially end up with no HSPL installed and no way to re apply it, so if you can get your cands on an sd card reader, go for that first.
thanks i already tried the tmous rom i already had with the 16gb sd card and also an 8gb.. i guess i need to buy another one.. i have a 3.14 rom but its not a tmous one.. where do i go to dowload them?
so first i need to get a 2gb sd card and try flashing with a tmous 2.10, 2.13, or 3.14 ROM before testing the stuck radio/spl problem correct?
maybe im just doing the flashing wrong.. first i extract the file using 7-zip .. then i rename the .nbh file to leoimg.nbh then i copy it to the sd card then unplug and turn on and let it run and press the reset button on the back when its finished.. and it says on the tri-colored screen that my the spl is 2.10.0000 now and underneath it now says MicroP(LED) and MicroP(TOUCH)
You need to use a 4Gb or smaller sd card to flash a rom using the sd card bootloader flashing method. Get your hands on one of those and you'll have no problem flashing a stock TMOUS rom.

ok well that all looks ok, and your spl has changed from 2.08.hspl to 2.10.0000 .
Did you take note of the blue writing on the phone screen when you sd card flashed? looking out for ''rsa_radio fail'' or some such)
It says radio v2 ok. rcust ok. Boot loader ok. Splash ok. os ok. Configdata ok. Ruu wallpaper1 ok. Ruu wallpaper2 ok update complete update success .... And it still didn't work with a 2gb micro sd card and a tmous 3.14 rom
and how would I even change my hspl to 3 or 4 if my phone doesn't even show up on the computer.. It wouldn't connect to active sync
what if i plug in my phone and instead of flashing with the sd card just click on RomUtilityUpdate and let it run?
yep do that. You can flash from teh bootloader screen, doesnt have to connect to activesync, so long as it says USB in teh white bit of teh bootloader screen.
it's still not working.. I've tried 2.13 and 2.14 ... I'm about to try 2.10 .. But I doubt it'll work
Nope still nothing..
looks like a warranty issue then (assuming its still under warranty?) at least the spl is now warranty safe.
So what does that mean.. do i take it into the store then an they fix it?
won't they just tell me to go since i tampered with the system?
so long as the spl says 2.xx.0000 (the 0000 is the important bit) and you cant see anything like magldr, , , are there any obvious signs? it doesnt boot does it? (im on my pohone one handed, im not checking back thru the thread )
Right now it's 2.10.0000 an it still doesn't boot
Then there's no way anyone can tell you've been flashing. Anything a tech does to make it work will wipe any evidence.(unless they forensically examined it, which they don't)
Gotta be out of warranty by now tho? And if its a paid repair it doesn't matter if you've been flashing.
Oh i see.. and yes it's out of warranty.. i guess i'll just take it to the store then
They basically said the phone is no more.. but i was just talking it employees at the place so maybe i need to talk to a tech person or something..
bootloader problm
is there any software which can put my hd2 tmus into bootloader...as i cant get into boolder by holding vol down key....wat can ido....
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.

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...
