[Q] Have I bricked my HTC HD2 - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im a noobie (from Old XDA 2I) with a HTC HD2 (Original T Mobile ROM) so after a few months I thought I would try a New/Upgrade ROM saying I had played around with the old XDA quite a bit. So I downloaded RUU_Le2_UK_143.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.o7U_ 2.04.50.22_2.ship.exe ROM and also HardSPL_3 I successfully installed Hardspl_3 but when I try to Flash the O2 rom I get up to 80% and then have the error ERROR[302] : UPDATE ERROR
I have tried about 6 times to go through the recovery but I still get the same error
HELLLP PLEASE..

Have you tried to enter bootloader?
If you can enter it, than no, your hd2 is not bricked

[Q] Noobie with a few Questions
Have my HD2 now working after thinking I had bricked my New HD2. Thanks for all the help, by the way.
I downloaded a O2 Stock Rom and when flashing it reached 80% and died and would not flash at all and kept booting to the Tri colour Boot screen so I then downloaded a TMO stock rom and used that and its now OK ish.
I have a TMO unlocked HD2 using Winmo 6.5 with the O2 provider, So it still boots with the T Mobile screens and tries to use the TMO Walk and Web for internet connection. I manually input the O2 Settings into My ISP and I can get onto the net through this. Phone, Email and SMS work fine with O2
Some more new questions?
1) Can I not use a O2 Rom on the TMO unlocked HTC HD2 phone?.
2) Can I flash the HD2 with a Custom Rom
3) If I can What would the best stable rom to Flash with.....!!!!

1) if you used HSPL (normally yes) but way you will do it? I mean except some parameters its the same!?
2) Yes way not!?
3) Energy ROM ore Artemis ROM are very good.
Only problem is Artemis ROM use the latest stock ROM 3.14 (There isn't a 3.14 UK T-Mobile stock ROM available yet, so you need to use the Goldcard technique)
Ow, no matter witch custom ROM you choose, reed and follow the install instructions mention on there threads.

Yes you can, but why would you want to? HSPL the phone, then flash it it the HTC 1.66WWE ROM. This is basically the 1.72 ROM that the operators brought out, but without all the guff that the operators add in.
I have a 1.66WWE ROM with a T-Mobile UK HD2. Everything works as it should and it is stable.

Again, yes you can. But please read, and then reread, the chef's instructions. They will tell you if you if their ROM is suitable for your phone, if you need to HSPL (or Gold Card or SSPL) it and what Radio ROM is suitable for it.

The HTC 1.66WWE ROM is very stable for me, along with the 2.15 RADIO. As for custom ROMs, then go to the custom ROM section and have a good read.

Thanks Fed-UP..
This is all strange to me as I owned a XDA2I for about 6 years. Thanks to this site I could make that dance and had quite a few Progs working that a few people could not.
I even purchased a few spare or repair XDA's off EBay and had three working by mixing and matching
Miss it really. But out with the old.
But again thanks for all your help. Clearest concise reply I have had to-date.
