Hello fellow HD2 users,
I've got an HD2 T-Mobile UK. I've just tried my luck with HSPL, I've succeessfully installed HSPL using the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
However, when I copied the LEOIMG.nbh (1.48 offiicial rom) file to the micro SD 8GB card; and rebooted, things seemed ok untill it suddenly stopped the progress of flashing the ROM and gave me a Grey screen with the Error 00028002 "not Allow" sort of thing.
So I tried yanking battery out, rebooting normally, it displays a grey triangle with " ! " in the middle and then displays the 00028002 error then back to Tri colour bootloader, I noticed that the HSPL is gone and its back now to 1.42.0000
I even tried a Factory reset, it does the reset I reboot, but it still shows me grey triangle and same routine. I've tried everything now. This bloody T-mobile phone is just useless to me at the moment !
Can you please HELP !!! Thank you so much !
Regards !!
Ok found solution, I just had to install the official T-mobile 1.43.110.0 ROM from this link:
http://rapidshare.com/users/258XUJ
After just switching on the phone with microsd inside, I just plugged the usb and started the RUU and followed the steps and things are back to square one now.
not thrilled that it has been a nightmare so far to get a new rom on.
but at least I can use my phone with its basic functionalities. not gona push my luck again...
You cannot flash official ROMS from the sd because it replaces the SPL with a stock one. Presume it got half way through then decided the ROM was not for your device since it hasd replaced the SPL. Cooked ROMS are ok to flash from SD but for Stock use the RUU.
tell me it's working please.my HD2 from UK T-Mob is same "bricked" and in Slovakia is very very difficult to find somebody who can fix this....i think maybe only the HTC repair center
^
If your phone can load up into the boot loader (tri-color screen) your phone is not bricked.
Deeper Trouble:Same error,but cannot use USB!!!
Guys,
im in even much deeper **** now.I accidentally tried flashing a stock ROM via SD card and now ive gt the same ROM code error.What makes this worse is that my Vista computer is not recognizing any USB connection when i connect my HD2 to the computer.If i need to flash a stock rom via RUU wrapper to get through this stupid ROM code error, i need a USB connection at the first place...which IS NOT WORKING NOW!!!...im sitting duck here guys...i really really need your help on this one.im extremely frustrated and helpless.thanks alot...
When u say USB not working, how do you know?
Put phone in bootloader, connect USB cable,,, on phone does "serial" become "USB"? If yes then just run the flash.

Hey guys,
Sorry to be a burden but I'm having a few issues with my hd2, and being a noob I didn't really know where to turn except this forum.
Basically my dad bought the hd2 from the UAE early this year and it all worked fine on stock settings for about 6 months. In the last few months, however, the phone started to lock up, and it got to the point where it wouldn't even boot properly.
In an effort to fix the problem I went with a hard factory restore, however, this seems to have caused more problems as now the phone is stuck in the bootloader.
I've been searching for hours, and have come to the conclusion that I need to update the flash? and then possibly install a new rom on the phone?
My major issue in doing this though, is that I can't seem to connect to activesync while the phone is in the bootloader.
Please help me sort this out.
First of all lets make sure that your trying perform the hard reset correctly.......
You need to hold down both volume buttons whilst the phone is turned off..... Then tap the power button and keep the buttons held down.......
Release them when you see the confirmation screen.........
Powering on while holding only the vol down button will take you to bootloader....
If you need to reflash the device then have a read of this thread here....
If its a "Tmous" HD2 (green and red call/hangup buttons) then you need to read this one
When connecting to the pc in bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen change to "USB".......
Might be worth checking the text on you bootloader screen for any irregular looking characters, there have a few cases of people with corrupt bootloaders, usually these will display odd looking characters at the top. This is quite rare though.
If you want to flash another stock rom then you wont need to worry about HSPL just download the appropriate ROM and follow the instructions on screen.
Start off at the HTC site and input your serial number to see which ROM is suitable for your device.....
If none of that helps then hold out for some advice here from someone with better knowledge of these things.....
Ok well I've just tried to do the hard reset in the way you've described and had no response from the phone. I had to remove the battery from the back to actually power down the thing as nothing else seemed to work. I can't actually seem to start it up again now =S
Thanks for all the info, I'll keep trying to get it started. I'm downloading the stock rom from the htc site. Hopefully I will find a way to install that.
Also, when the bootloader was up, there weren't any odd characters that I could see. It all seemed pretty standard. It had the current rom driver which was 1.42 or something and a few other lines of info.
Thanks for the post.
edit: perhaps the battery is dead?
No problem.
Is it charging when plugged in and turned off?
If so let it charge while turned off for a while and then try to boot........
If you cant get to bootloader and establish a USB connection then you could try flashing the ROM from the SD card.
rename the rom to "LEOIMG.nbh" place it on the root of a freshly formatted (fat32) sd card and turn on the phone holding vol down..

To be honest I have no idea if it is charging whilst turned off =S All I get is the bootloader when it decided to turn on and that gives no indication of power level so I really have no idea. It makes updating a rom pretty scary haha.
So I just attempted to install the default rom from teh htc site, but failed due to the lack of activesync. It was strange though because the updater managed to change the screen on the phone and get to 1%. It then crashed and I had to go through this recovery process.
I will have to try this SD card process I guess. Could you perhaps link me to a more in depth guide to how to do this?
Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it.
you should get a red light up near the earpiece to indicate that its charging........
try this video for flashing from sd card......
I am not getting a red light flashing? But it doesn't seem to be running out of charge. I'm still having lots of trouble
It would seem that I need to install this hspl before I do anything, however, I can't install that if I can only access the bootloader screen. Does this mean my phone is bricked?
I want to be able to set up a rom straight from SD, however, I have no idea where to start. That video just seems to send me in a big loop.
Perhaps you could link me to a simple rom that I can attempt to load via sd card?
edit:
I seem to have somehow fluked an install of HSPL 8G XE.
I have no idea how this happened or whether it is good or bad.. but at least something has happened.
Hmmm
installing hspl is covered here
as long as the word "serial" is changing to "USB" on the bootloader screen when you connect to the computer you should be ok.......
You dont need HSPL to flash via sd card but I think that video was directed more towards people installing cooked ROMS from XDA.
Installing a stock rom will automatically overwrite HSPL so unless your planning to flash a custom ROM then installing HSPL is pointless........
You might be better off installing a cooked rom. (Artemis, Dutty's)
They tend to run better than stock, if you get one running then it will be easier to get back to a stock rom (if you want to) than the situation your in now.....
This is from the flashing guide;
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.
Reckon you could link me to one of those roms? I think we're getting pretty close now.
Your help has been great I can't thank you enough.
Your welcome
You can find Dutty's ROM here
or the Artemis ROM here
Have a quick read and see which one you think you'll prefer, to be honest I think they're both pretty similar to stock but with a lot of the crap taken out....
Just follow the steps in the first link I posted and you should be good to go.
Ok new problems.. Can you believe it.
I seem to have tried everything.
Basically I can install of a sd card, but when it gets to the end of the install and I restart instead of booting into a OS it boots to the tri colour screen, and starts the install process again.
Also, I have attempted to install via usb and have had varying success.
As I have already said, I am able to install hspl, however, when I try to flash I get to varying percentages below 30% before the whole thing freezes.
I now have an error that says Upgrade Rom code error Please Try Again.
Sorry i dont mean to hijack ! but will any of you be kind enough to help me here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879980
thanks !
Ok so I followed the steps and still to no avail.
I am able to boot using the sd card method, however, the same problem occurs with each rom version. Basically as soon as I reset the device it pretty much switches itself off, then I can't turn it back on, once I finally do turn it on, it restarts the process like it never happened.
The other issue is again the active sync problem.
With most of the the usb connections I am able to connect and get a little way through the install (most I've got is 15%) then it just freezes up and I get the 262 error
Your best bet is to try flashing with a freshly formatted (FAT32) 4gb, class 2 card.
I know, sounds pretty specific right?
You wouldn't think it would matter?
I have tried flashing with 16 gb class 2, failed at the radio step
Tried with a 8 gb class 6, failed at the radio
4 gb, class 2, flashed successfully.
Seems our HD2's are picky about what cards they'll take a ROM from for some reason.
Alright I'll try that, my next issue is which is the stock rom for the phone =S
It was bought in the UAE and I'm currently in Australia.
edit: Also I read somewhere that the constant bootloader screen can be caused by a bent battery pin?
Edit2: I have attempted to do that, however, now the bootloader will accept the card, then just sit on loading...
I'm pretty sure this thing is bricked.

I've heard of bent battery pins being a pretty common problem, causing usually just the phone not to charge properly. I've personally never heard of it causing constant bootloader, but it's definitely worth checking.
It's weird that it's such a common problem, my usb/charging port is broken, so I have to use an external charger. I change my battery on average twice every 24 hrs, and I've never bent a pin
Ok, new info, apparently because the device is for the middle east it does not support stock 3.14 roms. What does this mean for me? Am I bricked.

That's the post I found the info in. All of that info matches up to mine except my original image was 3.142 I think =S
Firstly, your phone is not bricked - a bricked phone is responsive as a brick.
Can we start from the begining?
What does the Bootloader Moder screen say (with and without the USB cable connected)?
What ROM (and if custom ROM, what RADIO) have you flashed and are trying to flash?

Alright from the beginning.
Basically about a month into using the phone in Australia it became very unresponsive to the point where it would not boot at all. We left the phone for a couple of months, however, after seeing a friend rom android I decided maybe it was time to attempt to fix this phone.
Some more info:
When I attempt to do any sort of ROM update there is nothing in the 'current image' part so for example it will say update to Dutty 3.6 but it's updating from nothing, does this mean there's no firmware there?
In the bootloader I have:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X40
Without USB cable in I get Serial in the white part down the bottom, with the USB cable in + plugged into computer I get USB.
Just to further clarify. In regards to the ROM I have installed. I simply don't have anything installed. There is a bootloader, no image, no bootup. It boots up to the tri colour, that's it.
For a moment we will forget about going to 3.14 ROM: I don't know if that phone is entitled to an official upgrade to 3.14, if it is locked to a particular network, if it is branded, etc. If it is not entitled to a 3.14 ROM upgrade then you will have to go through GoldCarding, so we will leave it for now.
Make sure that the battery has had a good couple of hours charge in the charger or double that if connected to the computer.
Remove SIM Card and SD Card.
Switch on to Bootloader Mode, then connect to USB.
Download and run HSPL2 - ignore the instruction about connecting to ActiveSync etc, just proceed.
Download and install the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM - again, ignore the instructions, just proceed.
The reason for HSPL is because your phone may be operator locked (not SIM locked) and you aren't entitled to run the 1.66 WWE ROM.
Hey guys I have a hd2 that wont boot up anymore. I have installed several windows 6.5 cooked roms into this device for a while now. Recently this device has been given me a lot of problems until finally it took a dump. Now everytime i power up the device it stays in the splash screen. It doesnt even show radio version, rom version,etc on the bottom left of the screen. So is this hd2 dead or is there some way that i can fix it. I even tried installing tmobile's official rom on this device by going into the "rainbow screen" so that the device can be seen by using the usb cable, but alas....it didnt work either. So any help would be appreciated .
If it doesn't install, and nothing installs, then you need to take it to repair I guess.
I had a feeling about that. I just figured there was no way to fix it and the fact that i couldnt send it back to tmobile to get a replacement was out of the question since the firmware was modified. But your saying there are shops that fix these kinds of issues? If so, I better start looking around over here.

why dont you try sd card method for flashing your rom !1! you can pm me if you need further help
Do you mean that it can't get to the boot loader screen (rainbow) or that trying to install a ROM from there didn't work? You might want to flash the original HSPL too, just to check.
What I mean is that everytime I boot up the hd2 it stays stuck on the splash screen. It doesn't even show the rom information in red at the bottom left corner of the screen. But I can boot to the tri color menu though. I have tried to install the tmous official rom by plugging the USB when I'm in the tri color menu and it always stays stuck at 9%. So is there way to fix this or am I screwed.

Try the sd-card recovery instead of the USB one.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
After that, even if it fails, it shows only SPL in the tri-color screen then you are set to claim warranty.

Well my bro... i think thats nand problems or heating issues ... does flashing rom goes all ok or it stops during flashing ? if stops than check if you phone is hot - hotter than normal.
Try this : Take out battery, memory card, sim card and put you phone in the fridge for about 5-10 min ( dont worry tried many times... no harm ) meanwhile prepare your sd card to flash rom with sd card method ... to do that extract Ruu rom - stock one - download with hd2 serial nr ( winrar, 7zip etc) find Ruu_Signed.nbh rename it to LEOIMG.nbh than copy to sd card ( format you sd card fat32 and make sure it works ... 2gb will work ) take phone out from fridge put sd card & battery into phone power one phone while holding volume down key ( go into tricolor screen - bootloader) and follow procedure in phone... i hope everything goes well and you fix you phone... but if still no success than flash android or wp7 ( if you have warranty flash stock SPL and return phone).
best regards from me
I have an HTC Surround that I cant get to boot past htc logo and if i try to hard rest it goes to spl screen. Where can i get the software to reflash it. I also have another microsd that i can change out if that is bad
still working on
So I replaced the mirco sd and tried to do the restore using the power and volume buttons and still would not get it to try and boot more then a few secs and stop at the htc screen. I also flashed the stock att rom that I got off xda but still no luck. My last chance is trying a new battery today are there any more suggestions
My surround did the same thing recently. It's a problem surrounds have. Unfortunately you have tried the 3 most common solutions.
1: reflash with stock rom
2: Change out sd card
3: hard reset
The only way I know of to get a working one after you have tried those 3 things is hope it's under warranty. :-/

Where did you get that stock at&t rom? I've been all through the developer section and all I see are telus and cingular roms. I've got a phone from the shop that's stuck on the htc logo and replacing the sd card hasn't fixed it. I tried to flash a telus rom because hey what the hell do I have to lose but RUU wasn't able to establish an ActiveSync connection on the htc logo screen looping repeatedly. Is there a way to force it into a sort of download mode from the htc logo to do the flashing from?

thanks again
---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------
i'm guessing this should work:
C. Windows Phone 7 ROM Flashing Instructions
1. Unzip your downloaded *.zip file in a separate folder
2. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
3. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
4. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
5. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
6. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
7. After completion of (6.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
8. To flash the new ROM go to your pc/laptop folder of (1.) above
9. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen
Do You still need help about this?
Basically you need to download DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH from this forum, this will allow you to flash a custom rom. The ROM installed at the phone must be a NODO one because mango roms updates the loader and are not compatible.
For apply it you must put the phone on loader. Connect the phone to the usb, turn it off, turn it on but holding volume down key.
Once there you will see the 3 color screen and will say USB run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and follow the steps.
The phone will restart and showing again the 3 color screen but with HSPL now you can install DFT ROM. DFT ROM is basically a custom Windows Phone with the option to sideload apps you just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the DFT ROM downloaded and it will upgrade your OS to DFT Version.
Now what? SPL too high!
My brothers HTC surround has crashed, and fails to load the OS. i can get to the bootloader, but it's
spl-4.2.2250.1 (129185) MNG
i've got HSPL and RSPL, but they say DON'T TRY IF NOT 1.X SPL OR IF IT SAYS MNG. his says both. he was running mango, and i'm just trying to reinstall a stock rom. I'm wondering what advice any of you might have. I've reinstalled roms on Samsung devices, but not on an HTC, so i'm not sure what all this is about, or what the consequences are of proceeding. any help would be great.
Thanks dudes.
bump?
please?
Is it 1/2 bricked?
If you connect the device to a PC does it go to USB mode? At teh red blue green screen does it say USB at the bottom?
USB
It does display USB. If i leave it on for like an hour, eventually, i just discovered, windows DOES load, and it says "your memory is corrupt" it does connect to the computer, and it is detected by my pc, and it does display USB. I'm going to try to put in a new SD card, but i'm wondering once i do that, will i be able to flash the retail rom to it, with that spl.
thanks!

need custom unlocked rom for my htc surround at&t
Hi.. Plz help I have HTC surround at&t unlocked device and I need to fully unlock
It so dat I can install apps from web without going to wp7 market.
And I want to flash it with custom rom..
Hi all,
yesterday a friend of mine gave me his HD2 for repair, he bought it from eBay with a ROM failure.
I never tried to fix / flash any HTC, so I read trough a lot of flashing guides and other peoples problems etc.
So I'll tell you whats working / what I tried / what I can do / what I can't do, in the hope someone can make sense out of this and help me
1) The phone has a strange behaviour in terms of the battery. It only turns on if I'm lucky. This means if I pull the battery out and back it and try to power it on, I get a light / weak vibration (and if I'm lucky) it boots into the states mentioned in point 2) and 3). If I'm unlucky on the other hand, it just stays at a black screen, but still gives me this light / weak vibration. Windows recognises the phone in this back-screen-state, but doesn't like it that much, since it wants drivers for a "Qualcomm MSM .... something" device.
The best way to get the phone back to book (in the possible states mentioned in point 2) and 3).) is to let the battery rest fro a little while and plug it back in ... or I spam the phone like quickly plugging the battery out and in and prey that it somehow boots.
2) The "booting" I was talking about in point 1) doesn't mean it boots into any OS. I attached a picture which shows the state of the phone when I try to boot it normally via the power button. It just freezes there at this pink circle and does nothing. If I'm not wrong it should show the radio version etc. in red in the bottom left corner, but we'll get to that
Things I can do:
3) I can get into bootloader mode.
4) I can flash HSPL 2.08 and 3.03 ... or it's stock versions however I like.
5) I can execute "task29.exe" which finishes its job successfully.
Things I tried (and noticed):
6) I tried to flash "MAGLDR" which also finishes successfully (according to the install tool at least), but does nothing on the phone, same screen as in the attachment.
7) I tried to flash the latest radio ROM (v.2.15.50.14 afaik) via "CustomRUU.exe", which get stuck on 96%. "CustomRUU.exe" later on tells me that the communication betweeen the host and phone failed.
8) The phone doesn't seem to be branded, yet I tried to flash both T-Mobile and unbraded roms and 2 different versions:
Code:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
ruu_leo_s_tmo_de_3.14.111.1_radio_15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14_leo_s_ship.exe
If I flash those with HSPL and the installer it came with it stays at 0% forever.
If I flash them without HSPL and the installer they came with they get stuck at different point somewhere between 8% and 10% and if I wait for 10 seconds, the progress bar turns red and a "!" appears at the end of the progress bar, the installer later on tells me, that this version is not for my phone or something.
If I flash them with HSPL and "CustomRUU.exe" the progress bar also get stuck at the above mentioned %-marks, but the progress bar stays green and does nothing for 10 minutes, after that the "CustomRUU.exe" tells me that the communication with the phone failed.
Some things I noticed:
9) While I was spamming the phone with battery I once got to a point where the charging LED light up for the first time in this whole process I went trough with this phone.
10) After point 9) I plugged the battery out and back in and powered it on via the power button. I got to the screen I attached below, but it didn't got stuck there, the screen just faded to black and the phone shut itself off. I managed to do this 2 times in a row, after the third try it froze again and I was back there where I was before (points 1-8 ).
This is it As you can see I tried a lot of stuff, yet I think I've overseen something and I hope you can help me there or got some other ideas apart from the JTAG'ing method, which shouldn't be an option for now, as getting into the bootloader mode is worth gold afaik, so we should be able to do something via this mode right?
Best regards,
SE_iCEQB
BTW: I can also get into the hard reset mode, but of course this gains nothing on this phone
EDIT1: Another thing I noticed, is that in the bootloader mode it says "SS-BC" in the top line, where on every other picture I saw of this phone in its bootlaoder mode, it says "HX-BC" or something, dunno if this is important.
The phone came with a german packaging, so I only tried the "DE" roms mentioned in point 8).
While I was searching for roms, some people said that I can check the S/N of this phone on the HTC website which I couldn't find ... is it gone or am I blind already?
SS and HX in the bootloader screen just means Samsung or Hynix, , two chip providers HTC uses. They do the same thing, and you can forget about that for now, you have much bigger issues than one chipset being slightly better than the other.
The pink on black screen is a splashscreen, anyone recognise it? winmo? android?
The HTC website started dropping support pages for the HD2 a month or two ago, , looks like its ancient history as far as HTC are concerned.
Qualcomm MSM,,, this is a bad sign, , it is what the bare chipset presents itself to the usb connection as when there is no controlling bootloader. (This is what tmous users get when they radio brick their phones). Quite an odd symptom to see in a phone that powers on.
From the various power / boot symptoms, it sounds likely that one or more of the following are true
1 - the battery may be low on charge, and if magldr is installed the battery wont charge until android is running (which of course it cant) so you NEED to get magldr off ASAP (if in fact it flashed)
2 - the radio may be corrupted, which usually manifests itself as flashes failing at 8 - 10%, or radio flashes never completing.
3 - The phone may be one of the unlucky ones that has/is cooked/cooking itself. have a read on the 'freezer trick' where you cool the phone down for a while in a bag in the freezer, then quickly flash from sd as soon as you take it out, so the chips don't overheat before its done. If this turns out to work, then the phone has hardware issues.
4 - The bootloader itself may be corrupt, but only slightly (just theorising now) or the NAND memory where the bootloader is stored could be starting to degrade.
Recommended way forward.
Assuming you have access to a card reader,,,
send me your IMEI and an email address, and ill generate you a Goldcard.img,
follow THIS to make teh goldcard and place on that goldcard the RUU_Signed.nbh (renamed to leoimg.nbh) extracted from, , lets go for the WWE 3.14 rom from HERE (Lotta junk in that folder, scroll way down towards the bottom, look for filename as below)
id go for
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.zip
down towards the bottom.
(Thats assuming you want english? theres probably a DE one if you prefer)
SO, id try flash that from the goldcard, and report back.
(Note i'll be on and off all day, so don't expect an immediate response to your IMEI, cheers, oh and the .img when i send it will most likely get spam foldered, so dont miss it!)
I created a goldcard myself and tried the image inside "RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.zip".
While flashing it showed me "RSA Fail" on "Radio_v2".
Any ideas? I'll try other ROMs till someone answers
Thanks,
iCEQB
EDIT1:
Trying "GER" Roms:
1 test) HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe - "RSA-Fail" on "Radio_v2"
Ahh radio fail, bad news. I've seen it cured once or twice, by flashing the phones original rom, but I suspect those were exceptions.
I've also seen failed flashes take when you well chill in the freezer (card sim and battery out while it chills) and quickly flash on removal.
Also, just confirm you made a hd2 winmo goldcard, the free goldcard page at revskills is for wp7 and android phones.

Yeah I used the wp7 config. Is it bad? I mean, the goldcard works right?
test 2) RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe - "RSA-Fail" on "Radio_v2"
I'm out of ideas guys ... will wait for you to create me a winmo goldcard image and try them again.
Last resort is the freezer trick. Or any other ideas on how to progress from here?
Regards,
iCEQB
EDIT: BTW, does HSPL need to be deinstalled for these goldcard actions?
Ohhh hang on, that img i sent wont work, silly me, its not the imei I need, its the Cid (unique serial, uid, goes by a few names) of the SD card. See the howto I linked ya for how to find it.(really easy if you have access to any other winmo phone, not so easy otherwise.)
Just shows how long its been since I thought about goldcards.
Sorry.
Which branded phone is this?
Brother even I have same type of logo when phone starts (pink colour circle)
Even my phone is bricked but I can install wp7 or android (only no network problem)
Can u guide me how did u solve this issue pls
Thanks & Regards

Hi all,
yesterday a friend of mine gave me his HD2 for repair, he bought it from eBay with a ROM failure.
I never tried to fix / flash any HTC, so I read trough a lot of flashing guides and other peoples problems etc.
So I'll tell you whats working / what I tried / what I can do / what I can't do, in the hope someone can make sense out of this and help me
1) The phone has a strange behaviour in terms of the battery. It only turns on if I'm lucky. This means if I pull the battery out and back it and try to power it on, I get a light / weak vibration (and if I'm lucky) it boots into the states mentioned in point 2) and 3). If I'm unlucky on the other hand, it just stays at a black screen, but still gives me this light / weak vibration. Windows recognises the phone in this back-screen-state, but doesn't like it that much, since it wants drivers for a "Qualcomm MSM .... something" device.
The best way to get the phone back to book (in the possible states mentioned in point 2) and 3).) is to let the battery rest fro a little while and plug it back in ... or I spam the phone like quickly plugging the battery out and in and prey that it somehow boots.
2) The "booting" I was talking about in point 1) doesn't mean it boots into any OS. I attached a picture which shows the state of the phone when I try to boot it normally via the power button. It just freezes there at this pink circle and does nothing. If I'm not wrong it should show the radio version etc. in red in the bottom left corner, but we'll get to that
Things I can do:
3) I can get into bootloader mode.
4) I can flash HSPL 2.08 and 3.03 ... or it's stock versions however I like.
5) I can execute "task29.exe" which finishes its job successfully.
Things I tried (and noticed):
6) I tried to flash "MAGLDR" which also finishes successfully (according to the install tool at least), but does nothing on the phone, same screen as in the attachment.
7) I tried to flash the latest radio ROM (v.2.15.50.14 afaik) via "CustomRUU.exe", which get stuck on 96%. "CustomRUU.exe" later on tells me that the communication betweeen the host and phone failed.
8) The phone doesn't seem to be branded, yet I tried to flash both T-Mobile and unbraded roms and 2 different versions:
Code:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
ruu_leo_s_tmo_de_3.14.111.1_radio_15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14_leo_s_ship.exe
If I flash those with HSPL and the installer it came with it stays at 0% forever.
If I flash them without HSPL and the installer they came with they get stuck at different point somewhere between 8% and 10% and if I wait for 10 seconds, the progress bar turns red and a "!" appears at the end of the progress bar, the installer later on tells me, that this version is not for my phone or something.
If I flash them with HSPL and "CustomRUU.exe" the progress bar also get stuck at the above mentioned %-marks, but the progress bar stays green and does nothing for 10 minutes, after that the "CustomRUU.exe" tells me that the communication with the phone failed.
Some things I noticed:
9) While I was spamming the phone with battery I once got to a point where the charging LED light up for the first time in this whole process I went trough with this phone.
10) After point 9) I plugged the battery out and back in and powered it on via the power button.
