I made the same mistake (select phone instead of PDA) when I tried to install voodoo lagfix. After reading this thread I downloaded the modem.tar file for my version of Froyo and the PIT file. I entered the download mode and through odin I updated the phone modem using the modem.tar file and pit file. It worked like a charm. Now everything is OK. Be sure to remove the SIM card before update.

Thanks a lot for the ideea.:)

P.S. I used PHONE not PDA when I fixed my modem. And do not forget the PIT file.

Hello guys,

I got a HTC HD2 today from ebay, the seller has 100% feedback.

I have done a search about my problem but I dont wanna do anything wrong on the phone if the phone is faulty and send it back.

My situation was, I got the phone, inserted my SIMcard and set all the first settings. after 2min someone called me, when I answered the call couldnt hear anything and the phone was frozen :\ after few seconds the phone reboot itself and I waited 5min to see if turned back on, but didnt :\

I've tried pressing the yellow reset botton near the battery, I've tried hard reset.

And if I press VOL down and turn the handset on thats the info I get :

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50

and on the bottom of the screen says SERIAL, nothing else

I've got the phone from America (T-mobile) I'm in australia, melbourne

I've worked hard to get this phone :( and now when I got, could only use it for couple minutes :(

Please help me asap.

Thank you and sorry open other topic about it
[HD2 General] STHNS:
Guessing its TMoUS HD2 Leo1024. BTW what rom is installed on it did you get to notice while you had it? Something is odd here you are not sharing with us how does it go and get stuck in that screen.

Well to be safe if you don't know flash it. So don't matter remove the battery and restart it and go to bootloader mode by pressing power button while holding down the bottom volume button. Then connect the device to your PC via USB mount and download and run HSPL or you can do it via stock rom go download 2.10 from WM dev archive thread.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
I just got the phone today :\ the seller said to me the phone is the tmobile version 512mb. I'm a bit noob with HTC, Ive been with iphone until today. well, Im not sure which rom I had, but I think its LEO.

Ive tried all afternoon, I removed the battery out of the phone for 2 hrs, then tried again(without SIMcard) and the phone started up again as new settings and asked me to put my simcard in, so I removed the battery and put the simcard in, turned the phone on, it got stuck again in STICK TOGETHER screen :(

I dont wanna be inconvenient about all my questions, I just want my phone fixed :\

I couldnt do anything with the phone cos I set up the settings, after couple min got a call and the phone froze and it reboot it self stucking in STICKY TOGETHER screen. I was trying to flash it, but how can I sync my phone with windows 7? cos if I put in bootloader screen, it says USB at the bottom but WMDC says device not conected.

Do you have any solution for my problem?

thank you for your reply
[HD2 General] STHNS:
Ahhh as you said TMobile I naturally thought it would be Leo1024(HD2-US) but now that you say its 512mb thats not TMobile you are using Leo512(HD2-EU). I had a feeling you flashed your rom as you flashed wrong one then.

So to verify post the HSPL and ROM data from where you got it from so we know. Also visually verify your actual device does it say TMobile on the top? does the button have colors? If both = yes its TMobile.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
My phone has T-Moline on the top and has colors on the buttons. its definately t-mobile. I asked the seller and he said was 512, maybe he is wrong.

I havent done anything to the phone :( I cant flash cos I cant even conect with my computer :( the phone came from USA. I'm in australia

thank you
[HD2 General] Archer:
If it's a USA TMobile, then it's not the 512 version, and you need to flash only US TMO compatible ROMs or you could brick it.

When you say you tried a hard reset, how did you do that?

It should be when the phone is off you hold down both volume up and down, and keep them held down, then briefly press the power button but keep holding the volume buttons.

What happens when you do that?
[HD2 General] joooe:
Try to flash it through the sd card.

- Download the rom you want, uncompress the files, rename the nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

(The original HTC rom files can be uncompressed too, even if they are .exe files - you will find a .nbh file inside)

- Copy this file to the root of the sd card.

- Reboot while pressing volume down.

It should start to flash the new rom.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
That's what I called Hard reset :)

I'm doing it again and comes up a grey screen saying

This operation will delete all ur personal data, blah blah blah..

Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel

I pressed VolUp

..restore..completed

Press VolUp to bootup
[HD2 General] Archer:
Well if that appears to work, but doesn't, you could have a real problem there. Do what joooe suggested above - that's the only option you've got left, without sending it away for repair.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
how can I know the right ROM for my phone, cos the seller is saying its t-mobile 512mb and @johncmolyneux says that t-mobile is 1024mb

I dont wanna brick my phone at all.

I'm from portugal but I'm in australia, let me know if you can help me flashing my phone detailed. regarding I'm noob about it :\

thank you
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
or what ROM do you recomend for me?

can I provide you more info about my phone? to get the right ROM for me.

thank you
[HD2 General] Archer:
AFAIK, if it says T-Mobile on it and it has coloured call buttons then it's a US TMobile. Only the US ones have coloured buttons, and they're all 1024MB ROM.

May be wise though to wait for someone else to confirm this, as you've got me doubting myself now!
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
what would happen if I install AFAIK rom and then my phone is 512mb? would brick my phone? I would be unable to use my phone anymore? thank you so much for all ur help guys
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't know if it's 100% bricked afterwards, but you do need to install a compatible ROM, made for your device, so you need to be sure which one it is. It's really not worth rushing this and trying to just install a ROM as you may irreparably damage your phone.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
ok, I will follow ur advice

should I follow this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6894936#post6894936

how can I make sure is 512mb or 1024mb?

but it says :

1024LEOs (from T-Mobile with 1024ROM) ARE NOT SUPPORTED

but then if my phone is T-mobile with 1024ROM

I can follow this one yeh?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893

thank you very much
[HD2 General] Archer:
Like I said earlier, wait for a while and let someone confirm that it is indeed a 1024MB ROM, or you will probably brick it and not be able to fix it.

HSPL3 works on all types of HD2 though, so you can flash that. Those links are both actually the same thing.

Just don't flash a ROM until you know 100% that you have the right type.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
It is the TMOUS 1024 LEO.

Go to the HTC website and download a T-Mobile USA ROM, you are required to enter the phone's serial number. This will guarantee that you only download a ROM that is suitable for your phone.

Since you really just want to test the phone then go for the 2.10 ROM.

Firstly press and hold the Volume Down button, then tap the power button. This will bring you into Bootloader Mode (as you previously have done). When you plug in the USB cable to the computer the 'Serial' on the phone's screen will change to 'USB'.

As an administrator run the ROM and just tick the box about activesync.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
thank you.

can I provide more info about my phone? to make sure for everyone?

thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
I was 99.9% sure and just wanted someone else to agree really.

Basically, US T-Mobile HD2 are the only ones in the world with green and red call/end-call buttons, and every US T-Mobile HD2 has 1024MB ROM. If the guy you bought it off said it was 512MB then that would explain why it's in its current condition. It sounds like he believed it to be a 512MB version, and flashed a bad ROM. It also sounds like he's palmed it off on you, believing it to be knackered.

As fred_up said, go the the HTC site and download an official ROM for that device. You should be able to install that with no issues and see if the phone definitely works or not.

Good luck mate :)
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
@fred_up

do I have to flash first with this HSPL3?

I have downloaded and the phone was detected :D:D I went just to the step to select HSPL version to install :)

the choices are :

2.08.HSPL

2.08.0000

what should I do first?

I will try to find the rom on HTC website.

thank you very much :D
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you're using an official ROM, you don't need HSPL, so go for 2.08.0000
[HD2 General] fred_up:
In the Bootloader Mode it said SPL was 2.08.0000 which is the unmodified origional version of the TMOUS and that it is a P120. The P110 is the 512MB HD2 and the SPL was either 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000.

The newer 3.14 ROM has a SPL of 3.03.0000.

Again it doesn't really matter because you cannot download a non allowed ROM with your phone's serial number.

The only thing you need to be watchful of is downloading any ROMs that have a 51 in their title, but you wont be allowed to. Even when someone with a 512MB HD2 downloads an allowed ROM with the 51 in the title, there is a red warning about not flashing it to a TMOUS phone.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
now it makes sense, hope u r right : )

I will try install the new ROM :)
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Don't touch HSPL right now. The first thing you really want to do is find out if there is a hardware fault on your phone, so just download from HTC a T-Mobile USA ROM.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
it's seems stupid from me :( but I tried to find everywhere in the website for a place to download it, and couldnt find it.

http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-hd2/downloads/

sorry :(

can u help me :S sorry again
[HD2 General] Archer:
You can get the official stock ROMs from here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655653

As fred_up said, go for 2.10.0
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
what about the Serial number of my phone?

ok :) I downloaded 2.10.0

Runned as admin, but there was not activesync box :\

I tried to update and after 2% said failed, file corrupted :\

can be the battery charging? I think its full cos have been conected via usb all the time. but cant see the % of it. now when I conect the phone on wall charger it comes up a screen saying software update failed please try again.

have I done something wrong ? should I try again?

thank you
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
and should I remove my simcard and mSDcard from the phone?

thank you
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'd just try it again, and if it doesn't work then I suppose the download could be corrupt, but that's a bit unlikely. Maybe try a version 1 up or down from that one.

Don't worry about SIM and SD cards - they're not affected by this process at all, so you can just leave them in.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
why I cant find anywhere on HTC website to download a official one with my serial number :S?

How can I do this step :

Establish an Activesync conection with you phone ??

thats what fred_up said but there is no box to tick :\

thank you
[HD2 General] joooe:
Try this:

- Connect the HD2 by USB to your PC

- Run the rom file

- Reboot the phone yourself into bootloader (reset + volume down pressed)

- Press next in the rom file update in the PC.

Or try the SDcard rom update method. Try to uncompress the .exe file of the rom with Winzip or similar and follow my previous instructions.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/Filedownload.aspx?pid=leo

should I try this one?

the Rom 2.10.0 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655653 gets stuck on 8% everytime I try.

thank you

I guess is about activesync cos I dont have win XP, I have win 7 on my pc

Download:	T-Mobile HD2 Software (Version 2.13.531.1 )

Date Updated:	4/28/10

Size:	206.2 MB

Instructions:

To find the Handheld Software version:

1. From the Home Screen, press "Start".

2. Select "Settings".

3. Select "About phone".

4. Select "Software Information".

5. Check the ROM version. If your device software version is 2.10.531.1, then please download the most recent software version and upgrade instructions.

thats from the link I just put above.

should I install that one?

If I install that one, am I able to flash again after my phone fixed to have android on it?

thanks
[HD2 General] joooe:
If you inserted your IMEI and it's a T-Mobile Rom US, I'd go for the flash, yes.

And later you can apply the HSPL, yes.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
I just tried the 2.13 from that link and does exactly the same(stops on 8%).

I get a error[262]

ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

and thats the information I get as well to try to recovery:

4. Q: During the upgrade, the progress bar is moving. If the error message (ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR) appears, what should I do?

A: This may occur when the connection is lost, without power supply, computer host is down, or due to other unexpected cases. You will see that there’s still one progress bar displayed on the device but it is not moving any more. The device cannot get into the Wince screen, so you cannot connect with ActiveSync. This problem usually can be recovered. You just need to follow the instructions in the error message box, reset the device, and run RUU again. RUU will re-flash the whole image again.

Note: You should remove the battery and reset the Mobile Device.

do u guys reckon is about activesync? cos I have win7 and activesync is for XP ?

thanks
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Activesync is for Windows XP (and earlier) and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is what Microsoft use for Vista and Windows7.

But if you connect the phone normally to the PC and sync via WMDC, then flash the ROM. During the process the phone will soft reset and go into ROM flashing mode.

If you connect the phone after it is in BootLoader mode to the PC, it doesn't need WMDC, as it is recognised as a non phone device. Then flash the ROM. During the process the phone will just go into ROM flashing mode.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
it stops always on 8% :\

what should I do?

do you think is the wrong ROM ?

T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1.exe

I'm trying to install this ROM that I download from here :

http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobi...d.aspx?pid=leo

but this asked me the IMEI of the phone, not the serial number :\

do u know any website that I can download a right ROM formy phone?

is maybe my phone 512mb ?

I contacted the seller and he said this :

"No the phone is OK. From what you are telling me I believe the battery might be defective, I will send one out today to see if that resolves it, I would take out the battery and let it sit without battery for a few hours then put it back in and turn on as normal to see if it will then boot orrectly. Thank you"

I already tried that yesterday and the phone tried to boot but then when I had to put the simcard in, didnt start anymore.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
If I put in BOOTLOADER :

(At the top on the right end side) RUUNBH

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x05

(all of this on the red bit)

Just under(on the green bit)

it says :

Please try again

on the blue bit doesn't say anything

and on the white bit says

[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
If you go to WWW.tmobile.com/wmupgrade select the hd2 picture and then it should ask you for your imei number if it allows you to download you definitely have a TMOUS version. If it tells you otherwise then you have another type. I am not sure how you would find out what other country. Also make sure you leave the phone off and charging for a few hours to make sure it has enough charge to perform the Rom upgrade. I hope this helps.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:

T-Mobile HD2 MR

MR?

should I use HSPL3_PKG and flash to 2.08HSPL or 2.08.000 ?

or I shouldnt do this yet?

I did the mSDcard method installed T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1

not the one u just gave me(3.14.531.1)

and was sucessful, said UPDATE COMPLETED. then I removed the battery to reboot, turned the phone on and was still stuck in STICK TOGETHER screen bahhhhh! :\

frustrating. I dont know what I am doing wrong
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Well one thing is for sure now you do have a TMOUS (T-Mobile US 1024) version since your imei worked there. First I would try a hard reset on the phone, hold the volume up volume down and power button all at once and until it comes up. If it still doesn't boot up completely I would try running the upgrade you got from T-Mobile using your computer. I wouldn't try hspl on your phone yet until you get it running stock, those programs are for unlocking your phone to run custom ROMs. Which probably will not help you right now.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
now after all this trys, doing hardreset get stuck, the phone freezes. and installing the upgrade it freezes as well :\

might be the battery? cos I dont have chance to check the battery status, and when I connect the phone on the wall charger, it comes with the black screen saying Software update failed! please try again and I dont know if is charging it
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Make sure that all of the pins that connect your battery to the phone are straight
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
They should all be pointing straight up towards the top of the phone
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Also try putting the phone in bootloader mode (volume down and power button at the same time) and then run the RUU (Rom update utility) from the computer again. If that isn't where you have been doing it this whole time.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
they are all straight : )
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Well you could try dumping WIndows MObile (WINMO) all together. Have you tried to install HSPL as of yet? If not give it a go from bootloader. If it succeeds Then download MAGLDR from the stickies in the Windows Rom section install that and then find an android rom, any one will do for testing purposes if you get that far. MAGLDR has pretty good instructions just follow them
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Choose H2.08 or 2.08H I can't remember where the "H" shows up
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
do u mean 2.08HSPL?
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Yes
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
I am sorry to get in the middle of things and leave you hanging bit it is well past my bedtime. I will check on your progress on the morning and see where you got to. Also when I said get an android build I didn't specify but you need a NAND build I would suggest the CMLXLINGO (ok, so it really isn't spelled that way and sorry for any disrespect but I'm tired and couldn't do the research) however that build it not only built specifically for the 1024TMOUS But for also specifically for US data, gps and mms settings and it may be a lot to set up but I have to say that OS most definitely my favorite desire HD build ever.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
I could do it. now what shows on bootloader is :

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

[HD2 General] fred_up:
Run HSPL3 and select 2.08.0000 - to remove HSPL.

Run the 3.14 TMOUS ROM that you had to use you IMEI to download. I know I said don't use a 3.14 ROM, but I really want you to run an HTC stock ROM. This is just to check that there is no hardware problem.

If it flashes properly and the hardware problem is gone then we can go through the process of flashing a 2.10 or 2.13 ROM, so you can HSPL and then flash Android.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
Gameover :(

I follow @tobiascrystal instruction, installed MAGLDR 1.11 on my phone, after reboot the phone, phone never turned on anymore :'(

I havent done anything wrong :( why does the phone doesnt respond anymore?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Does the phone just not turn on at all? No lights, nothing on the screen at all?
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
yes :( tried everything.. no response from it?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Has it possibly run out of charge? If not, it sounds like it might have totally failed now and will need repair.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
I think I installed MAGLDR 1.11 after that I used HSPL2_1024_RUN and selected SPL 2.08.0000 to install the 3.14 TMOUS ROM. when the phone finished the process, I think died.. or the problem is the battery like the seller said to me since the phone was stuck on STICK TOGETHER screen.

Is anyway to recover my phone? I cant believe it, I brought a phone and I couldnt even use it yet :(
[HD2 General] Archer:
Plug the phone into a charge for at least 10 minutes (not a PC).

After that, if it doesn't even respond when you press the power button then the phone is most likely dead. It's possibly the battery, but from reading through the whole thread it sounds like the phone.

Sorry, but it sounds like a repair job. If it's the phone then there is nothing else that you can do.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
how do u know when the phone is charging?

when a orange light is on top left end side of T-mobile?

thank u
[HD2 General] joooe:
Yes. It will turn green when charged fully.

When you can, try the sd method for flashing.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It may not light up, which is why I say to charge it for at least 10 minutes and then try turning it on.
[HD2 General] Jeckas:
I'm devastated :(

I waited for so long for this phone :(

thanks one more time for all your help.

I've tried everything possible.. pressing :

VolUp+VolDown+Power

VolUp+VolDown+Power+Reset button

VolUp+VolDown+Reset button

Tmr is Public holliday here in Australia, I might go on thursday to a phone repair store to see if they lend me a new battery for a test.

If it doesnt work I have to pay to fix it :( do u have any idea how much can be?

Absolutely nothing happens when he presses the power button, but he was previously flashing so had to have at least 50% power. Sounds to me like the device is dead.
