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

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

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

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

Hi everyone,
At first at all i would like to apologize for my language.
Well...
I have HTC HD2 LEO for East Europe.
I change Rom to Artemis HD2 ROM and it goes well. After few days it realese Artemis HD2 ROM Family Ver 22.0 Gen 2 and I update ROM.
At first boot it load normaly but after soft reset it stuck on HTC logo with information about ROM etc in left down corner. Then i do hard reset and htc load rom but the soft was unstable and when I put off battery it stuck on HTC logo even i do hard reset.
I read a loot about white htc logo and do many trick,
I try to instal official rom for east europe using usb connection, but instalation stop and 9% and triangle apear. Instalation stop at difrent stage for difrent ROM's, sometimes is 24% sometimes 2% but never goes to end.
I try instal by sd card but sytuation is that... 3 color apear, very quick white screen with "Loading..." and back to 3 screen color and nothing more. I try with 2 different cards unnamed 4GB and kingston 8GB.
I try to instal different radio 50 and 51, SSPL, HSPL it's says i mus have 1.42, HSPL2/3 it's stuck at usb connection searching. I forgot, 3 screen color show me i have 1.66.HSPL XE.
Only one operation goes well, to 100%, Task29 provided by doloop, after that HD2 buz and show only white htc logo. But when i try to do more... change radio with task29 it's stock on 24%
I don't know what to do now. Mayby goldcard will be helpfull but i don't shure what is wrong with the sd card and i don't now how to do this goldcard.
Thank You for eny sugestion,
I will try to do enything to wake up my HD2
Ask if You need more information.

I know this might be a dumb question but is your sd card formatted to fat32?
nvm try to put on orignal SPL? and than try to flash to stock rom with Sdcard?
i suspect that.....
when it first wouldn't boot artemis 22 you needed to change the radio not the rom but then you flashed official rom by sd card it removed hspl and then failed because wrong region.
boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl
return to boot loader
flash any radio mentioned in artemis thread using usb
return to boot loader
flash artemis
when phone starts to set up force hard reset
allow to boot
let us know how it goes
thank You for request
roloracer
there is no dumb question but dump anserwers . Yes, card's are formated using fat32
Veldmuus
how can I put only SPL? any solution?

"boot to boot loader
install hspl3 choose 2.08.hspl"
I try, and it's strange. When I go in to boot loader plug usb cable to htc the "serial" change to "USB" and it is the end of my work becouse when I run HSPL3 it's stay at "Waiting USB connection..." and no else happend.
Mayby it will be succesfull if I use to do this sc card but.. as You know it isn't work.
When you tried to flash the official stock rom back from the sd card did you make sure the rom image was called “LEOIMG.NBH” and on the root of the sd card.

try all different usb ports. try to not use ports in the front of pc case, use one around back of the pc.
also right click hspl and choose "run as administrator"
My hd2 see sd card beacouse when slot is empty "Loading..." don't apear. When I plug card "loading..." is apear but only for one socond mayby faster.
root.. you mean file not in eny folder, just on starage card without any folders, yes?
I called leoimg.nbh every time I put file to sd card
What operating system is on the pc you are tring to flash hspl with?
samsamuel
how do You know i use front usb port?
I plug to other usb ports but effects are the same. What I discover... when the HSPL3 is searchin usb connetion and I pluget off hd2 from usb there apear Critical error from HSPL3 program. It mean probably HSPL3 connect to hd2 but stuck.
I work on Xp profesional SP3
hspl is picky about which port it uses.
Personally i would enter bootloader manually, connect to usb, wait for 'serial' to change to 'usb', and only then run hspl3.
what radio rom is currently on the hd2?
Well.. Every time i try to instal something I go manualy to bootloader. As I say hspl3 stuck at connetion with hd2, i can turn of program run again but nothing happends.
Probably radio was 2.10 or official now i dont remember but I gues 2.10
When you connect the phone to the pc the pc does detect it, right? becuase i had a couple of instances where i've tried to install updated radios, ran the installer and windows hadn't finished detecting the phone and that caused a connection issue and the radio installer to quit but when i ran it immediately after this it worked fine.
So i suggest you get the phone to the bootloader manually then connect it to the pc an then leave it a few minutes before you run the hspl3 installer.
Guys... all of You are brilliant. If I don't ask what the problem is on this forum probably I cry on my htc box. But I don't .
It's working... rom instal and everything goes well.
The thing i change to work: I change home I was in my second home and now I'm In my family home special to test instal HSPL3. I have here other USB cable and other computer with XP OS. I read all post and do all again.
First I plug usb cable to front panel... too fast, my bad. It's going wrong.
Then I read about chose different USB connector... too fast becouse when I try i fail, but read last post, plug htc to pc, go make coffe and back. Turn on HSPL3 and it's work, find my hd2 and give me a choose witch spl to instal.
Then I back to samsamuel post and make his instruction. When I end every thing work very well i restar my hd2 and by the now i don't see eny problems.
At finish I would like to thanks

Thank You very much Guys,
Good news! and now a long deep breath of relief.
No problem dude. The wait is caused by windows XP needing to install and then load a couple of drivers so it can talk to the phone in bootloader mode. If you're not amazingly rich like me (OK i'm not really) and can't afford a cutting edge PC like mine this may take a few minutes to complete.
Hi folks,
I have a T-Mobile branded HD2 that gets stuck on bootscreen. Since this one is owned by the company I work for I should not flash custom ROMs or whatever. I got it from a colleague with this error.
What I did is downloading the latest official ROM from HTC with T-Mobile branding, extracted the .nbh file and stored it as LEOIMG.nbh on its SD card. I flashed the ROM, removed battery, put it back in and immediately did a hard reset. Still no luck it keeps stuck in the boot screen showing the ugly circle. No animation, no nothing.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Chris
What is the full name of the official ROM you got .and did I understand you correst you got it from the T-Mobile website? Also what does it say when you put it in BOOt loader?
Filename:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
Download from:

I am not sure what you mean with bootloader? VolDwn+Power?
PB1100 HX-BC
SPL-1.66.000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x50
Let me know in case you need more details.
It gets even more weird...
I put the phone on charge (switched off). It suddenly switched itself on and then booted into windows. It came to the point where it asks for the PIN. I entered it and as soon as it accepted the code it rebooted again and is stuck on the same screen as ever.
Sorry I was changing my ROM, That is why it took a minute, Are you sure you have a T-Mobile HD2? Cause it says in the name of the ROM you posted that it has a 2.07.51.22 and that radio is deadly to a T-Mobile HD2.
Does it have a green send button and a red end button?
Also did you enter the serial number of your HD2 in the HTC site to verify that this ROM is for your HD2?
What you said about it rebooting when you plugged the charger in is weird.
I bought this HTC (and several others) all from T-Mobile, since we got some company agreement. When I first got it disfunctional it booted up with this circular bootscreen in T-Mobile colors. I personaly own a Desire HD, so I know about the uncustomized bootscreen.
This is T-Mobile for Germany, not UK or US. For the US version the radio won´t work since bands are different. I have heard about that...
This device does not have colored buttons.
Yes, I have entered the serial number on this site and it has been validated. Then I downloaded and unpacked it just the way it is described in this forum.
I also tried to download the original, latest, unbranded HTC ROM, but it did not validate my SN.
I have reformatted the original 2GB SD card with FAT32 and tried the same. After it says UPDATE SUCCESS it does nothing. Is this correct?
I took off the battery and after a couple of seconds back in, doing a hard reset. It then still got stuck on the bootscreen.
Ok do this download the Task 29 by ShaDrak from post #1 of the Task 29 thread here on XDA and run a Task 29 on the HD2 then download HSPL 4 (link in my sig) and flash HSPL 3.03. then try to flash your ROM again. If it flashes successfully then use the HSPL utility to reset y our correct SPL. I will have to go see if I can find the correct SPL for you if you don't know whioch one it is.
Thanks for your help, but I think I´ll rather return it for a new one then. This HD2 is for testing our mobile website, so one developer will need to wait a little longer for a replacement. This smartphone is 3 weeks old (half a week of use due to vacation), so I do not want to brick it and stick with it. Last time I did HSPL was with my old diamond, feels like a decade ago.
I am limited with downloads at my company due to firewall restrictions and I am not allowed to install programs. I am glad that I got USB allowed, though I am part of the admin crew
I´d even take it home, but I do not have windows running on any of my computers.

This is what I mean by bootloader, once you see the multicolor bootloader screen connect it to your computer via USB and wait for the Serial to change to USB and Right click the RUU for the ROM and run as administrator.
I understand you not wanting to brick it and your issue with downloads, that does suck. But the task 29 just does a wipe of the ROM partition of the NAND memory and reformats that partition. Task 29 is a very small download also, very very small, the same with HSPL 4. I suggested HSPL for as it will disable the CID check on the flash and allow you to flash a ROm that is not for that particular HD2. And all you have to do to revert back is run the HSPL again but pick the SPL not the HSPL you want, it ask you what version of HSPL or SPL you want to flash. Also you have a International HD2 and they are not as prone to bricking as the TMOUS because they can be flashed with any radio version for the HD2.
It comes to my mind that I have a damn old windows installation on my computer. Maybe I´ll give it a try at home over the weekend.
The phone does not even switch from serial to USB mode as you described. Could it be because there is no active sync installed? I tried it with my personal Desire HD and I got access to its SD card.
How do I find out which SPL to flash to have it back to its original state? Is it the 1.66.000 that was shown in bootloader? Where do I get it?
Go into the Bootloader and it should say the SPL version
Mines for example is
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
CotullaHSPL
If yours should say SPL-(version number) without the HSPL/Cotulla since it shouldnt have HSPL
If Windows has the drivers for the HD2 installed (Active Sync/Center installed) it will say USB as long as the plugs and the wire are good if it stays stuck on Serial that just means either the HD2 isn't detecting windows or Windows isn't detecting it

Yes I think the SPL 1.66 is the SPL for the 1.72.111.4 ROM you are trying to flash. The phone is technically suppose to install the drivers when you connect it to a computer in bootloader, but I have had to download and install the ActiveSync and the Windows Mobile Device Center too to get a computer to recognize my HD2 in bootloader (two separate computers) so yes installing the latest ActiveSync on your computer can help as it has device USB drivers with it.
Dont install ANYTHING.
If the phone is only 3 weeks old, send the damned thing back for a replacement.
Had the same problem with a european t-Mobile HD2. Sometimes (rarely) let me boot into windows, but mostly didnt.
Sent it back to HTC and they fixed and returned it within a week. Actually they said on their site that they were fixing it, but I ended up with a new phone......
So... either return it to your supplier for replacement, or send it off to HTC

I don´t know how, but I got it running on the day we have been discussing.
If I only knew how it worked I´d let you know.
After all this I put it on the charger and retried a last time before I would have taken it home (read above). I flashed the new T-Mobile branded ROM and it just worked.
Thanks for your help!
Dear expert,
I bought my htc hd2 in saudi Arabia. I had reset this phone by mistake by clicking on value added button and after that a language prob appeared. Anyways one of my friends flashed my phone with new english language rom for ease and install anderiod as well but the only issue was, when i was using internet, it was getting heat and resetart itself.
So I thought that it might be a problem of anderiod with windows, what i did was, i remove and formated the sd card first on my pc then inserted into my phone and flash it with the same rom, but after that my phone doesn't boot fully upto home screen. It does go to the boot option where we get the different strips of color like red green blue and white with some info on the screen like (note: I don't know what these were originally but now all these info are what depicted belwo)
PB81100 SS-BC, SPC-2.08.HSPL 8G XE, 0X05, CotullaHSPL 05X0 and USB
but doesn't start fully after reseting, always freez at the white screen with htc and nothing else:-(
Till now I tried different forum tips for the help, flashed many times with different rom but still the same prob, doesn't completely start upto home screen, always freezed as mention above.
Please help me, what should I do, so that my phone become as it was originally?
Which version of rom or some other software i should download and try to flash it and from where i should download the correct one.
Some of the infos of my phone are as follows,
htc hd2
SN: SH06PNW02764
Firstly, remove your serial number.
Now, if you want your device "as originally as it was" you need to download HSPL Package and remove HSPL 2.08 from your phone.
By the way, what radio are you using?
Is that a US T-Mobile version or another Vendor version !? as your serial number does not pull up a ROM selection on HTC's website !
With device correctly identified we can probably find a ROM & try flash via SD might be good option should you want HSPL ect all removed in one flashing step
Problem does sound more like quite common mainboard fault experienced by quite a few users of multiboot HD2s, but lets hope not ....
Hey there Community,
I really don't know much about mobiles, especially the HTC HD2 and flashing ROMs,
but somehow I got Android to work on my HTC HD2 1 year back and now wanted to sell my phone because I got a new one.
Therefore I needed to set up the factory settings and get Windows Mobile 6.5 back on my phone..
Unfortunately I failed hard while following the instructions of a tutorial that said I only needed to rename ruunbh to leoimg and put it on my SD-card and so on.
Halfway the update was interrupted and since then Iam getting "00028002 Not allow" error and can only boot to the bootloader saying "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again" And the usual things in the red disctrict and at the bottom it says that I got an USB-connection which seems to be wrong, because I can't see the device and so on.
I tried to install HSPL4 but it failed due to no USB-connection.
So what can I now do to make it work again? Iam really frustrated
Flashing image from sd is all good if it original correct country/vendor rom, if not you get your problem & things can be tricky as HSPL was replaced with standard SPL so care must be taken.
Either find a correct Vendor/country (CID) ROM for your HD2 or get it in bootloader & able to flash HSPL.
Would of thought for resale a good Android build would be more desirable.
I know what you mean, but the problem is that I just don't know what to do..
My phone is not branded or anything, so I couldn just go to htc.com and get me the newest winmo Rom?
The Problem is, what to do then, exactly?
It seems that I can't flash anything because I dont got usbconnection..
So no idea to original ROM country vendor !
usb connection may be due to driver issue on PC, install Activesync if on XP or WMDC 6.1 for Vista & Windows 7 then retry connecting hd2 via usb .
*Also make sure you know your version of HD2 & be aware of .51 radios killing US T-Mobile HD2s.
Try to flash 2.08.HSPL only (also in HSPL4). It is enough. You can also try these drivers to fix your USB connection.
And here you can find offical ROMs.
Drivers linked above are not suitable, install activesync or WMDC is best option.
Finding original ROM is not going to be easy if you have no clues to origin of handset ...
Also, just cost you don't "see" the phone from the p c doesn't mean you don't have a USB connection.... it will never show up in your drives list like it does when an os is running, and activesync (or wmdc) will also not see the phone when it's in bootloader.
If the phone shows "USB" (and your PC may even "ding" when its plugged in, that's all you can expect unless you look deeper,, into the hardware list, for example.
What does hspl line say?
I'd do....
Hspl4, choose 3.03.hspl (NOT 3.03.0000)
Flash unbranded 3.14 rom from USB
Report back.
I have same story - 00028002 not allow+no usb.
no one stock rom can be flashed.
completely lost and no idea what to do.
I just got HD2 Tmous from ebay for parts to fix another that I sliced and cut the LCD flex cable. The phone is in great condition and after I put in the battery from my old phone it booted up and stuck on stick together screen. I booted up to the bootloader tri-color screen and it displayed the following:
PB8112 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x05
After I used the USB cable to connect to my PC running Windows 7, the Serial at the bottom changed to USB. I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 and installed and run it. The WMDC said USB not connected. I found the thread "Stuck on Stick Together Screen" with similar problem and was solved by re-stocking the ROM from Tmous. I downloaded it but renaming from exe to zip did not work in order to extract the LEOIMG.nbh. I found another thread "[TUT] Flash your ROM / Radio via microSD" and downloaded it. I copied the ROM to my FAT32 1GB SD card, inserted it in the phoned, booted it into the bootloader, and flashed it. It is now stuck at 10% for more than an hour.
LEOIMG.nbh
RADIO_V2 -
RCUST -
BOOTLOADER -
SPLASH1 -
OS
CONFIGDATA. -
Update in Progress...
(progress bar stuck at about 10%)
I forgot to verify that the ROM is for HD2 Tmous and don't know what it is - the thread did not mention it.
What should I do now?
Thanks in advance.
The part, where you stuck at 10% is the part, where it flashes the Radio Image. I stuck at it, when i choose the wrong ROM. Do you know, which ROM was the original one for your phone? Look it up on the internet and try it with it.
I saw, you wanted to extract the .NBH file. Try it with the Software "WinRAR". When you installed it, go to your RUU-Extractor file, right-click it and choose the point "Open in Winrar..." or sth like that.
I hope, that was a little help
Thanks,
I got it from ebay so i don't know its history. After more than 3 hours stuck at 10% and found out from other thread the ROM from Tmous was not a normal zip file that can be viewed directly from Windows Explorer, I used WinRar to extract the NBH file and pulled the battery out and put back in. The phone was rebooted and got the triangle failure symbol; I pulled the battery out and put back in and booted into the bootloader - it displayed these additional info: RUUNBH at top right and Upgrade ROM code error Please try again at the center. Also, the serial did not change to USB anymore.
(omitted some steps) I flashed the leoimg.nbh file downloaded from Tmous and the same problem happened.
Since ActiveSync does not connect to the phone and the bootloader does not function properly, any utility required ActiveSync and flashing with properly function bootloader will not work. I think there is no way for me to flash the Radio ROM, right? Is there any utility or mode that will tell me which version of Radio currently in the phone?
I am thinking of trying to flash the same HSPL and MAGLDR and see what happens after reading some more threads.
(omitted some steps) I flashed the leoimg.nbh

so it doesnt say 'fail' next to anything on the blue writing/grey background screen when you flash from sd card? like next to RADIO_V2 -? because it sounds like a pretty standard stuck radio (or stuck spl, tell me, did teh spl line change from your first post? (("(omitted some steps)" dont ommit anything, full detail is the only way to get accurate answers.))
Mostly this never gets fixed without a jtag, but sometimes trying all teh various roms for that particular phone (you sure its a tmous? if it is, DO NOT flash anything you didn't get from the tmous/htc website,,, if it doesnt work and you get frustrated after 100 attempts, and its late at night, dont think "oh ill just try a non tmous one, just to see" cos it will die.)
Things to read up on and try are the freezer trick, chill the phone for a while, then quickly try an sd flash (forget about usb flashing, if you are gonna fix it, its most likely sd that will do it),, trying various tmous stock roms (if you go in the tmous stock roms thread, DO NOT flash the first one in the list, , its not a real tmous rom and will brick you,, teh second and third would also be best avoided, with the manufacturing spl's, because going back to normal stock is tricky, , not impossible, but a pain none the less),, also have a play with hspl3 or 4, see if you can change the spl, because sometimes its the spl thats stuck, and not the radio (however sticking at 10% and not seeing anything next to RADIO_V2 - makes it almost certainly the radio,)
Nothing - no additional info besides the progress bar stuck at 10% described in 1st post and the SPL line did not change. I think the phone now has the exact info except there is nothing where serial was displayed before (yellow text info on red background) as my first post.
Omitted some steps: these are just steps to copy the ROM downloaded from Tmous website to the sd card for flashing (T-Mobile_HD2_MR_software_3.14.531.1.exe).
Yes, it's a Tmous. The void sticker is still there and the touch screen has the T-Mobile logo.
I knew that I had to flash Tmous ROM because HD2 Tmous has 1GB of ROM instead of the normal 512MB.
Unfortunately, most of shipped ROM links are broken. I wanted to try the 2.10.x.
Thank you for your help.
