GREAT TUTORIAL!

Followed exactly but white screen with "Loading ..." showed up with no activity! It just as if it hangs! This is same error others here are experiencing.

What seemed wrong?

I have an SPL 2.02.0000 XE.

Tried to flash without success since HSPL is not possible. Got the white triangle icon on black screen with a white exclamation point in the middle. Is my hd2 already bricked? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prof_eduards:
I checked my LEOIMG.nbh and found out that when I renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh the file became LEOIMG.nbh.nbh. I am using WinXP Home SP3

After correcting the file, I was able to get past the Loading ... message and was presented ...

LEOIMG.nbh

CONFIGDATA - OK

RUU_WALLPAPER1 - OK

RUU_WALLPAPER2 - OK

RADIO_V2 -

RCUST -

then at about 75%, the screen showed:

What seemed to be the problem?

T9193 unbrick

I was wondering if this process also works with the Telsta T9193 Version.

I had Energy's Energy.Leo.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug.06 and was flashing to Energy.Leo.21914.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug.18. The radio I was using for both was Radio_2_12_50_02_2. I had HSPL3 on the phone and did a task29 before the flash

When it says to extract the exact rom do i have to extract the rom that i had on the hone or the one that i tried to flash?

Bricked HTC HD2

I got a replacement phone since I had no way of getting past the 2.02 - 2.03 version. This seems to be common among many bricked phones who use the method in this thread. In my case I applied a European ROM by accident which left the phone unusable. The unbrick method does work but I was stuck at 2.02 or 2.03. It was impossible to update to 2.08 or any other version for that matter. The phone was pretty much use less but it did work. Well I did learn my lesson from the fiasco. Never flash a non 1024 ROM to my phone again. I will hack the new one and continue though. Thanks to everyone who make this fun hobby possible.:)

Can someone help me restore my HD2?

I got the phone new friday I went to plug the phone in my car charger I kept getting the stick together logo screen with the rom radio and software version stuff at the bottom left.....before i could just take the batt out and wait 5-10 seconds and it would reboot(which is still not normal) I went to youtube on the phone...samething, crashing into the sticking together screen....so i figured let me install a custom rom...went thru all the pre steps... got the "we haced it" on the screeen and the phone has been showing the stick together only now.... :(

does not even show radio software rom version in the red letters and numbers at the bottom left...... tried installing a custom rom then it errors out half way through sometimes 90% and give me a (284) error...... and says in a black screen with a triangle and exclamation mark "software update faile! Please try again"

Can someone please give me some steps on getting this back working.

Thank you

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poulosjr:
And I've flashed Roms on hd2 tmo and hd2 euro so I made sure it was hd2 tmo 1024 compatible first before flashing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] huberddp:
I flashed the first ROM in the set. I believe it is 01 it is the version which is lower than the telenav. I said to myself let me give it a try nothing else seems to work. Well this ROM does flash but it is a CDMA ROM. Totally non-compatible with T-Mobile phones. If you want a brick which does absolutely nothing then use this one. Well long story short I have a shiny brand new phone. Which I have already hacked with HSPL3. I just had to wait for the battery to charge. I am now back in business with the Energy ROM. I hope others will learn from my mistake. Please read the forum page completely before you flash your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
You probably downloaded the wrong rom.

I'm not offering a solution to brick your phone but I'm offering a

possible

solution to unbrick your phone or at least restore stock SPL so you can return it under warranty. ;)

It doesn't work for everyone but for me it helped

so I wanted to share with other people and give them a small change to unbrick there device.

You say it's totally not compatible with Tmous???

RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15 .29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip

I wonder why that shouldn't be compatible with a T-Mous device as it's a T-Mous stock rom. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
If you see a message 'We hacked it' it means you are in bootloader.

My suggestion, take a factory rom that came with your device, extract it by right klicking it with your mouse and choosing 'extract here'.

The ruu_signed.nbh you find next rename to leoimg.nbh and copy to your storage card.

Next put your device in bootloader and the update will start.

This method will restore the original SPL of your device and bring back everything to factory defaults.

If you like to flash a custom rom after you need to flash HSPL again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I don't know where you need to bring it but if you restore original SPL you are able to let it repair under warranty.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] huggs:
Unbricked my TMo US HD2 using this method, had used hspl3 then tried to flash a cooked rom, but I think I needed to change the radio first and I didnt and so thats what had bricked it, like I said, used mtty t29, then flashed the recommended rom in the first post of this thread. Worked great, but now I'm stuck with watermark test rom, and my spl is not on the list of ok spl's that shows up when you go to flash hspl to your phone from the pc. So is there anything I can do to get rid of the watermark rom and get hopefully a cooked rom but stock with no watermark's fine. Is there anything I can do? TIA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sigfreik:
I bricked my HTC HD2 by installing a ROM which was NOT for the US T-Mobile HD2 with 1024MB ROM. Before installing the rom I installed the HardSPL program and chose 2.08.HSPL. I was following the instructions here to unbrick my phone and got the following errors for step 15

task 29

Format BINFS start

Fill RSVD information for block 497 to 530

CE start start block=530, total block=7662

In the post it said to ignore the error and turn the phone off. I turned the phone off and put in my microsd card that has the LEOIMG.nbh. I then booted into bootloader mode but got no instructions. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advanced for the help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sigfreik:
Words can't describe how helpful this post was. Thank you so much. My HTC HD2 lives again after I followed your instruction.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MGA2009:
I think I found the reason for my problem.

My problem: Phone could not pass "STICK TOGETHER" screen. I was running HARD SPL so I tried this method to solve it...

After a lot of work and trying different MicroSD cards I finally flashed succesfully:

1-. RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15 .29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.nbh

And then after a lot of work could flash:

2-. RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50 .07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test.nbh

But still, I could not solve my problem of not passing "STICK TOGETHER", worse I now have a 2.03 SPL and I can't flash custom roms.

So I figured... what could possibly be the reason of not passing the screen...

The reason (at least for me) is HEAT. That's right, when the phone is cold (leaving it outside for a while) baamm! The phone goes to Windows Mobile, after a wile it resets and t goes back to "STICK TOGETHER" and stays there...

So I disassemble the phone a leave the motherboard on top of a "cold gel" brick and as long as it stayed there the phone worked properly.

I'm 100% positive on this founding, I could be just my situation or common to a lot of people that applied this tutorial to unbrick TMOUS HD2 and still got a "STICK TOGETHER" screen.

Now that I found the problem I need to find the solution... I think the "applying cold" method works because:

1-.The phone actually it is producing too much heat without the possibility to dissipate it leading to a LOCK UP.

2-.The cold just helps a "cold joint" on the BGA spheres under some chipset (possibly snapdragon or flash mem).

Solution for 1-. do anything to dissipate heat... I don't know... maybe arctic silver or a heatsink.

Solution for 2-. a so called "reflow".

I will try to reflow and post my findings, I think it iss the more possible problem.

Best Regards.

So now that I'm unbricked, but stuck with the watermarked test rom, is there any way to hspl again and flash something better? The reason I ask is because the spl that comes with the test rom is not in the hspl program's list of compatible spl's

Much thanks to those people who contributed to this thread and to the OP, you brought my hd2 back from the dead
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I would say, flash a stock from storage card with different SPL, flash HSPL and your ready to flash custom roms again.

Congrats on unbricking I'm very happy for you.

For you the same.

Thanks, stuck with stock spl, 2.03 rom from 2nd post does take care of the watermark, but looks like no custom roms til hspl is changed to ignore spl check.

Just to confirm I can take it to a T-Mobile store and ask them to replace it telling I was trying to update the official rom, and it froze on me.

Is it fine if it gets stuck on Triangle with an Exclamation point, when I turn it on, it does NOT show the T-Mobile boot screen logo, probably task 29 took that away not sure.

Repaired !

So here is the follow-up. I contacted the shop, they told me to contact the repair service of HTC. After two weeks, they returned my device fully fixed and no charges. I got a new IMEI number (so new motherboard)...

So some advice, If you get into that kind of trouble, just hope they don't notice it has been HSPL-ed or you'll pay a lot...

download the .03 test rom from here and flash it to your phone from your sd card (empty 4g class 2 worked for me, 16g didnt)

you will still have the 'test only not for sale' splash screen, but the rom isnt watermarked

EU HD2 stuck on T-mo watermarked rom !!!!!

Hi All !!

First thanks for all this hard work!

But, as 2 or 3 persons i'm stuck on the T-mobile Test rom (with watermark) on my EU HD2 and no possibility to flash ship FR rom:

in fact, I flash the latest FR ship rom from HTC (correctly, after extract .nbh on the Sd Card and rename it...).

The flash stop (without any red error) after flashing RADIO_V2 and restart with white triangle (I can see "RADIO_V2 OK" just after the phone reboot).

Then the phone try to relaunch alone the same flash but because of the new spl 1.42 0000 (come with first flash) no possibility to reflash...

What the result if I flash .03 T-mo ROM as said Huggs on my EU HD2? Stuck on T-mo with no possibility to reflash EU rom ? HD2 brick or not ?

Please help me !!!! bad situation... (Sorry for bad english, I'm french)

I bricked my hd2 when I flashed a rom and the usb connection failed. It prompted to recover, but the recovery process didn't go anywhere further. I bricked my hd2.

The strange thing is every time i turn on my hd2 (both volume down + power and other combination), the phone keep vibrating with a black screen. I have to take out battery to stop the vibrating.

I flashed custom rom before and have the latest hspl version.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] racesurg:
Hi jzama. After Task 29, your ROM partition should be empty. You have to go to bootloader mode in order to flash your choice of compatible ROM. You can get to bootloader mode by holding down the Volume Down button while powering up or soft resetting the phone. Only release the Vol Down button when you get to bootloader mode (tricolor screen). You can then attach your phone to the PC using your sync cable while in bootloader mode, then flash your compatible ROM the usual way. Hope this helps. :)

Thought I would post my experience in case it helps. I have a bricked tmous hd2. It only had stock rom 2.13, before it died. It will not get past Stick together screen not matter what I do.

I tried the steps in post #1 of this thread but it did not help. I was also stuck at SPL-2.00 and couldn't get back. Here are the steps I took to get back to SPL-2.10:

first I had to flash the next version MFG ROM which was 2.03, then I was able to flash HSPL3 with 2.02 support which I got from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9204459&postcount=145

I still could not flash factory ROM 3.14, kept getting errors. I then was able to Task 29 and flash an Energy ROM via usb, which went fine. Then I was able to flash stock 3.14 from an sd. It did error and restart on it's own once but then finished successfully.

Unfortunately this phone will not boot. I'm able to get to bootloader and flash ROM's with success via usb or sd card but it will not boot..soo.. I think it's dead. here's the post i created asking for help if anyone has any ideas:
