Oh my god... What shoudl I do with you?...

I don't want to brick my HD2 to try something for you...

But... Did you know something about a "Goldcard" method?

If not I will help you to create one. On other phones the Goldcard allows to flash ROMs from another Provider... For example you have a Vodafone ROM and want a Stock HTC ROM... Normally this should not work. With a Goldcard it does...

Maybe you have an old microSD Card which we can use?!

Maybe we can also try to flash it with SSPL. Did you try this, too?

I never used SSPL, maybe it did not work in Bootloder mode, but we will se this when we try it ;)

That's really nice help, from you Crusoe86.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
I hope it will help the author...

I know how it feel when the own phone is broken.

My first HD2 was overrun by a car... And it takes me 5 month to repair it, because I can't get a keypad ribbon...

And my second HD2 is not really broken... My girlfriend loaned it two weeks ago for one week. She still has is, because she like the Android OS on it and until now she won't give it back to me. Now I have to wait until my Desire HD arrives me :p

What should I say... Women... :rolleyes:

But... PPP works very well for her operator (BASE) on Android, I've interruptions every 5 minutes and I can be lucky if I can reconnect after each disconnect :D

Back to topic...

@coneman23:

I'll hope you've flashed a 2.**.50 radio (for e.g. 2.12.50) not a 2.**.51.

I've noticed, that those radios do not work with some ROMs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndigoHD:
Crusoe86 redirected me here.

is there actually a way to fix this?

maybe with goldcard and official 1.48 rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Here I am...

You could try HSPL3 to revert back to an older SPL. Maybe that works...

And you can try older Stock ROMs like the 1.48 (from SD card (I use an old one when I flash my HD2, maybe thats is more compatible like newer SDHC cards)).

Andhopefully it replaces the new SPL.

But I would try the Goldcard method or try to boot SSPL from bootloader mode...

My girlfriend has my HD2 actually. I can't try anything :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndigoHD:
I dont know how to make a goldcard, so i cant make one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
I recommend that you try this (found in your thread).

If that does not work, we can make a Goldcard.

It is not very difficult, but this solution in your thread seems to be easier if it works. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndigoHD:
he said i am supposed to flash from sd.

sounds easy enough and propably a very viable solution........ if i knew how to do it.

EDIT: im just reading a tutorial on how to make a goldcard, but this involves me using my HD2 to let it read the ID of my card.

Something i cannot do since my HD2 wont turn on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Did you don't flash 3.14 via SD?

Extract the *.nbh File from the Stock ROM (with WinRar for e.g.).

Copy it to the root of your SD card.

Your battery should have a minimum of 50%

Put the SD in the phone.

When the phone is off, press and hold VolDown and then press the PwrButton (hold VolDown until the phone starts.

Then release the buttons.

The phone should advise you to press the Powerbutton to start the flash process :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndigoHD:
my phone doesnt charge anymore.

i plug the power-adapter into the socket, then the usb cable into it and the end and the red light doesnt light up when i attach it to the hd2.

EDIT: i tried it with the files from 1.48 rom.

it says "not allow"

EDIT2: i just shed a tear of joy.

My HD2 has been reborn.

For some beautiful, yet unknown, Reason it let me flash 1.48 not.

Not using SD-card method, but regular usb cable method.

i now have SPL-1.4.2.0000 again and a phone in working condition.

Thanks to every single one of you who tried to help me.

i may have solved it differently in the end..... but Thank you so very much for foing your job. You Guys are the best, by far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Short Version:

Flash 1.48 via RUU. Right?

Really nice :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndigoHD:
i used SSPL_RUU.exe.. Something that i had tried before. it kept stopping at 1% or didnt even get past 0%. sometimes it just went back and told me that my software update didnt work.

If there is a reason this worked NOW then i am at a loss.

I truly dont know why it worked now, when it didnt before..... but i bless the Lord almighty that it did.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coneman23:
yesss!!

got a new flash!

new problem guys..now the 1.48 wont come up stuck on htc logo on white screen.

should i try hspl? or offical 1.66?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusoe86:
Check you radio driver.

If you want, you can install 1.66.

That contains a bootloader which is HSPL-able :p

But I would flash HSPL and a EnergyROM form NRGZ28 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRook:
ok i guess i should read forums before doing stuff... but have i bricked mine ?

i had a 1.72 tmob rom on

i installed hspl and dropped it back to a more stable 1.66 wwe

flashed the 3.14 via windows and discovered the memory probs

so i put it back to the 1.66 wwe

then i mooched around and have resorted to gold card method

got the cid got a gold card image rebooted with the 3.14 leoimg.nbh on hte card

set it off updating and it hangs after the grey screen on a rainbow screen saying hx-bc

spl-3.03.0000 xe

microP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(Touch) 0x40

so i do a batt pull and try it again

now it says error 28002 not allowed

nothing on the phone

flashing via windows just gives teh invalid error

rebooting with vol down just results in upgrade rom code error.

so what do i do ?

do i need to flash via windows while its on this rainbow screen with the 1.48 wwe rom ?

I am having this same issue, stupid me trying to flash it via sd card method and now my SPL. is 3.03.000 XE. I have tried the task29 method without success, and I can't even try Goldcard method since I cannot connect via activesync. I am stuck at the bootloader tri colour screen, each time i restart the device is in a white HTC screen, i've tried numerous methods found on here for the past week and have been unsuccessful. Could anyone shed some lights? Is my HD2 garbage now or what can I do to resurrect it. Thanks to all.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roosedani:
when you isntall via sd-card the rom update your bootload and you lost a HSLP again ! look you phone have now a spl-3.03.0000 xe. re-install the hspl and you now can install again others roms !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Firstly Task 29 doesn't work with SPL 3.03.

Put the phone into Bootloader Mode, then coonect to the PC.

Download from HTC's website a ROM that is allowed when you enter your phone's serial number - this assures that you have a valid ROM for your phone. I would firstly not go for a 3.14 ROM. A 1.66, 1.72, 2.08 or 2.10 depending upon location or branding will do fine. This will allow the phone to get back to an SPL that is not 3.03.

Run the ROM - just tick the statement about having a valid activesync connection.

[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
....title says it all. Well, almost.

I have a D2 running on Froyo(2.2) and I tried to flash my ROM to Epic 2.7. Now I am pretty sure I did it wrong because my system version still says Version.2.2.20A955.Verizon.en.US.

I have my phone rooted. I have Titanium Backup, I have D2 Bootstrapper from Kouish(sp?) and ROM manager.

Unfortunately this is where my brain ends on this. I am sure there are step by step tutorials on how to do what I want because I have looked at them all, I just can't understand it :-(

I would like to think I am a bit smart and on the tech side but this end of the spectrum is still a gray area for me. My phone is now lagging, buggy, and just not working the way I thought it would.

Can anyone please offer some assistance so I can grasp my mind around how to be a part of this awesomeness that custom ROMS bring?

EDIT: I should also add this. I really want a ROM that is going to give my battery life longevity and have my phone running as smooth and quickly as possible without the dangers of overclocking. Any suggestions that can come along with instructions on how to load the ROMS is very welcome! :-)

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
Did you do a full backup through clockwork before installing this?

Also, when you flashed the new rom, did you mount the system before hand?

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/epic/

Angdroid has Sticky Posts with instructions. Start there.

Install Instructions are pretty much the basics for installing any rom so far.

Before you get to Install Instructions, well you're probably good since you're in the right place (XDA), but you always want to make sure you have Root, latest SuperUser binary files (just open SuperUser it will check itself), and ROM Manager. Titanium Backup is also good to have for many things.

After you read the Install Instructions move on to the Hacking Guide thread. Check the last post for the image in case you want to use different .apk files to modify the ROM in your own way.

I use Root Explorer (from Market) and it uses SU permissions. Copy .apk files to \\system\apps with Read/Write permissions. Press & hold > Permissions > Make it look like the picture from his thread.

So to recover quickly and get Epic running on your D2 - go straight to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/angdroid/87766-install-instrucions.html

You may be able to skip the wipe data and factory reset - but I'd say if you're phone is running slow from the partial install you've described - do it all. Plus it's good practice for restoring the phone however you choose since you'll probably be doing it more and more. Welcome to the fun.
[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
SWEET!!!! It worked. But now I don't have my contacts saved anymore. Soooooo.....yeah how do I get that info back? lol

[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Sign into your google account, it should auto sync your contacts.
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
whenever installing a theme or mod, you will need to mount the system. This will allow you to have read write access, or in other words, allow you to copy files from your SDCARD to your phone.

[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
....my gmail accounts stayed but my contacts didn't sync back....crap....I used the backup assistant before I flashed to this ROM but it won't even start when I try to launch it
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
What happens when you try to use it now?
[Droid 2 General] event121:
You'll need to install Backup Assistant if you want it to work the old way. I do not recommend using it for contact sync as google is sufficient.

It's not opening because it was purposefully disabled.

I recommend going to verizonwireless.com, sign in to your account, go to My Contacts and EXPORT them as an outlook csv file. Save it on your computer. Go to gmail.com on your computer and sign in to your gmail. Go to Contacts. Now look for IMPORT Contacts. Choose the csv file you saved from verizonwireless.com. After that, make sure google contacts are set to sync on your phone. Finally, wait a minute or two while they show up.

After they are back on your phone, you can go to Contacts. Press your Menu Key. Choose MORE. IMPORT/EXPORT. EXPORT will save a copy of your contacts to your memory card (it's a csv file that can be used if you ever lose them).
[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
....GOT IT! Took a minute but it worked!

Thanks to you guys for all the help! I wouldn't have been able to understand it if you hadn't stepped up!

i would suspect the file associations / locations have been corrupted, probably by restoring the registry from a different rom.

(Registry really ought only to be copied over to fresh resets of the same rom, not new roms. It can be done, but its prone to issues just as you describe)

AND/OR

the image library files have become corrupted. Look in your image folders, and delete album.cache files. They will be automatically rebuilt.

I would try to consolidate what you have as it is now, if your files are all there, and your contacts are there, backup your contacts by some means, ensure all your files are on the sd card, and hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahasbini:
I have hard reset my mobile a couple of times, even before restoring the pim data without the system settings, the camera would take a picture but the picture wouldn't be saved on the sd. But after I restored everything, I thought of uninstalling resco file explorer (thinking that it was the problem) and deleting the library files, but nothing changed. But when I thought of formatting the sd card, I tried to reinstall resco explorer as it has a formatting feature. At first when I tried to install it to the sd card, it failed to install, but it was installed successfully in main phone memory. I opened resco and went to the formatting option. Once I started formatting, an error messege appears saying "Failed to format sd card. Please make sure that the sd card is not locked." Does this mean that if I formatted my sd card, the problem would be fixed? BTW, my sd is on a FAT sytem. To which type should I format the sd?
