[Q] Please help with radio problem - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

let me start off by saying i'm not a noob, maybe a semi-noob
my phone is def hard SPL
i know for a fact that my phone has a radio problem
i can successfully flash roms, not official ones
if i try and flash a stock one, it will flash the rom and when it starts on the radio, it fails
i also tried a complete rom like laurentius, it flashes then it will fail during the radio update
custom roms that do not include a radio update will successfully flash
i've tried both methods, micro usb and active sync
no luck.... laurentius fails at 15%. official roms fail at 8% or just stall and i get error 290...
i did a lot of researching and 2 other people here have had the same problem.
one ended up selling his... and i don't think the other has found a solution
read something about gold card? no clue what that is
please help!
thanks in advance

First! Happy new Year ! and Secound kk "We have a same problem!".. sometimes when I leave without battery for some hours i can install the Asian version "stock ROM" and use the cellphone but 20 or 30 minutos after it stops working and when i reset my cellphone it stop on the HTC logo. I search for a month and nothing too! I'm waiting for help too my friend !

help me
I have a problem with my TyTN
I do not gsm network, this after an upgrade how can I fix this?
flash radio
read the forum and flash the radio
I read on the forum and I found how to do, but I can not.
as I do with mtty to have prompted usb>?
Try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294523
U must use Custom RUU Update tool and Radio ROM file.
It does not work I will lock the bootloader I do not know what to do are desperate
help me plese
help me no gsm tytn
The only other thing you can try is to flash the shipped stock rom. If you STILL get "No GSM" then you have a permanent brick on your hands. Make sure to flash Hard SPL then you can try an OS only rom and use as a PDA but you won't be able to use the phone functions anymore.
Cheers...
Is there NO way to repair/reflash a bad upgrade?
I'm stuck on 11% during flash.
I'm using HardSPL 2.7
Thanks
I can not prompt the usb be how can I do?
when I hit twice is always sending cmd
There is no way to repair the radio rom. There have been cases where people have reflashed the Shipped stock rom and its worked but most people don't have any love. To be honest, once the radio rom is gone, you have NOTHING to loose by trying anything to get it back.
Good luck...
there is a way to "unbrick" the tytn, the sollution is to install the original os provided by cell operator by using one of these methods http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem4 , if there is still a problem look at wiki.xda-developers.com
...
ps. i had the same problem and now the tytn is still working from 2 mount ago
ps. i use the vodafone_v1605 ... bla-bla-bla soft and it's seems to be good
As I said, there have been some successes, but these are in the minority. Most people don't have success. If you don't believe this lordextra, check out the other posts. Most of the time the information you gave is given. In fact if you re-read my post I mentioned this. You must have been one of the lucky few....

unfortunately when i go to download the stock ROM i downloaded from the HTC website it stays at 0% and then gives me an error message,tried numerous times but no luck, i was able to download HSPL3 though but that hasn't actually made any difference with regard to actually solving my problem,i done another search and tried numerous things but no luck, just have the multicoloured screen as before, have spent hours now, surely there has to be an easier solution to this as no doubt this has happened to a few people before!

flashed htc stock by sd card? if yes, then its because the stock HTC rom isnt your phones stock, and teh first thing it does when flashing from sd is remove hspl, even though the rom itself fails to flash (because hspl is no longer there)
Boot into bootloader, see what spl says.
If it ends .0000 then use hspl2 to re apply hspl,
re-enter bootloader, connect usb, does 'serial' change to 'USB'?
If yes, try running your rom flash again, but do it over usb. (Can use the htc stock rom for this, for simplicity)

Yeah the spl says spl-2.08.0000 8G XE
when i go to hspl2 to re apply hspl it gives me an error message saying i need to have SPL 142 on my device, this is doing my bleedin head in and ill never mess about with the dog and bone again if i manage to get this sorted after all this it costs too much and im without a phone now until this is sorted, cheers for your assistance mate

Mate, try HSPL3. It will work with your SPL (2.08.0000).
It smells like you have a bad flash, maybe your ROM image corrupt in download or in the transfer process.. It does not change the things, to fix it you have to "erease your NAND".
I told you to flash a stock Rom from SD to see if the error stops. If it stops, then you will have to install HSPL again, because it is ereased each time you flash a stock ROM from SDCard.
Then, the TASK29 process is the more important thing, because it will "erease" your NAND and will prepare the NAND blocks for the new flash.
And the CustomROM flash complete the process.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: Fell free only to install HSPL3 (2nd post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and do a TASK29 (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) before installing again your CustomROM. Those 3 steps are the important ones!
**DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOMROM AGAIN, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A DOWNLOAD CORRUPTION PROBLEM, OK?

right there has been some developments, HSPL3 has done something an the phoe is now turning on and off, so ill try and download the stock ROM now
if spl says 2.08.0000 then you have chosen teh wrong option in hspl3, you should have chosen 2.08.hspl.
.0000 is stock.
You do not need spl 1.42. to apply hspl, that is old info, hspl2 or hspl3 should work fine.

Man, if your phone is turning on and off it could be the uncharged battery.
Try charging your battery for about 1 hour before trying to reflash - do it with the phone turned off.
Again: Use HSPL2 or 3. Select 2.08.HSPL from the menu. And then TASK29..............
Thanks again guys its getting late so ill just leave the phone charging and get back to it after work tomorrow evening, again thanks for your assistance, still not there yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening the problem will be rectified.

Sorted!!
At last i have managed to solve the problem, basically i just extracted a stock ROM onto my micro SD card which was in my laptop,put SD card back in phone,went to bootloader, done the task 29, tried to flash Energy ROM 21911 Aug 1st update but having tried several times it was giving me an error message so last throw of the dice as it were i flashed the other Energy build 23569 and it worked, you;ve no idea how relieved i am i kept thining id have to leave the phone into repair which would cost an arm and a leg but thanks to the good people on here in particular digao100nocao and samsamuel and the search function was useful too i have solved the problem and ill ensure i always do a hard reset any time im flashing again as i believe that was what probably caused the ROM not to flash properly the first time (i never bothered doing a hard reset previously)
Virtual beers to everyone much obliged folks and if i can be of asisstance to anyone myself on here i will.

Good news my friend!
I'm happy that your problem is solved now.
Have a nice week

Are you really sure HSPL3 is safe?

I really have my doubts about how safe HSPL really is for your HD2.
Sunday my HD2 died. Ive been using HSPL for 2 months now and tried 3 different radios and 3 custom Roms. I always perform task 29 and never interrupted any update. All updates went smooth without problems.
But suddenly my phone stucks in the bootloader. I tried everything to get him back alive without success.
I talked to 2 friends about my problem and you know what? They both had the same problems. They were heavy flashers but they encounter also problems with the bootloader.
So my question is, are they more people with this problem? Im asking because when I buy my second HD2, I want to install custom Roms but Im a little bit afraid to install HSPL. It seems that it makes your HD2 corrupt after a while, just my experience (and 2 friends).
What do you mean wit "after a while"?
I mean with this I have my HTC HD2 device from 01/01/2010 and I have directly flash HSPL 1.66 now almost then mounts later I don't see/have problems with BootLouder and in the meanwhile I have install more than 70 cooked Rom version!
Each cooked Rom I install I reinstall stock Rom before I install cooked Rom so you can say I have seen/used the Bootlouder now fore about +/_140 Times
So personally I don't see a problem.
But of course I don't know how much you have changed your rom?
I changed my Rom 3 times. You have no problems with 1.66. But I flashed HSPL 2.08. Is the different version maybe related to my problems? My friends also used 2.08.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
most rom builders recommended HSPL 1.66!
I used Miri Roms and did not see any recommendations
So now I am wondering if the HSPL version can cause a corrupt bootloader...Anyone with the same problems? I really loved my phone and custom Roms but now I am a little bit scary to install HSPL on my new device (when I get one ofcourse)...
im using HSPL3 too...but didnt flash a new rom since then.
i would die if my HD2 would break..... >.<!
In theory any version of HSPL could cause corruption......
I dont know whether one is more likely to cause problems than another.
Lots of people use them without any problems at all and as with anything you do to your phone you do it at the risk of something going wrong....
So to answer your question I wouldnt describe any version of HSPL as "safe".....
The "safest" thing to do would be to stick with the stock ROM and use only official updates, that way even if you have a problem flashing you always have your warranty to fall back on...........

Well I thought I shoul die, but I am still alive. But I really miss my HD2, you cannot imagine. I cannot mail or check internet, its back to 2009 for me
Thanks for your input all of you. I am really surprised how things can go wrong are get corrupted. We all use the same files (HSPL) and the BIOS of the phone is also very standard I assume...Maybe a bad batch when I bought the phone? (Feb 2010).
what i do, is to flash only hspl when i flash my rom..
i'm not very flash addicted, so i got my rom there for months
or why dont you use sspl?

[q] help please ??!!!! :(

Hi, im getting very annoyed with my phone, probably something to do with i don't know what the hell im doing. Basically my phone has lately started to go crazy and constantly reboots, only getting to the orange windows screen. and very rarely boots up. I have the o2 HD2. Ive tried hard reseting..and taking out cards and booting but nothing seems to help. So i spotted the new generic 3.14 rom on the official htc website and downloaded it and thought it would fix it all. But now it wont work, it gets to %100 on the ROM update utility and says '' ERROR 270:UPDATE ERROR - The image file is corrupted, Please check your update utility. Ive downloaded it twice now as it told me as it was corrupt, to download and try again, but its doing the same. Now my hd2 is stuck on the multi colored screen and will NOT boot. Someone please help me, and try to have patience with me as im un-familiar with all this . Someone taking the time to help me would be VERY appreciated. Thanks.
theres a real o2 3.14 rom HERE

or you need hspl
Hey Brandon911 after you manage to flash the ROM member samsamuel was kind enough to link for you. If you don't know how to flash the ROM simple put your HD2 in bootloader(tricolor screen) and run the RUU or exe wich ever one it has once you exsrtact/unzip the zipfile. Make sure it says USB in the white bar of bootloader though before you run the updat utility.Anyway once you flash the ROM check your pins that connect to the battery cause I am willing to bet you have been dueing a lot of battery pulls and might have inadvertantly bent one of your pins. I say this cause you said your HD2 was "constantly rebooting".
i cant flash that rom at all? i try to extract it to my pc and it says its currupt :s ive downloaded it twice now. should i use a different rom? a custom one? And thankyou macgnolia

I don't see no real reason you should not try a custom ROM. Just make sure and tbis is very important, if the custom ROM has a radio that comes with it, that the radio is compatible with your o2 HD2. I am also sure when samsamuel gets to read this thread again he will be abale to offer more help, probably better than I.
Edit: You will have to have HSPL flashed to your HD2 to flash a custom ROM.
im sticking with the generic 3.14 from the htc website. my phone is on SPL 3.03? and to run hspl u can only go up to 2. something so it wont run? sorry guys, your patience is much appreicated. i just need some step by steps on what i should do, in order, for a noob.
hspl4, supports 3.03. If you want to use magldr you will need to go to 2.08.hspl

[Q] Plain White Screen

Hey guys, I had this problem like three weeks ago, then got my phone working but this time it won't. What's happening is that when I boot on it just goes to a blank white screen. I have 2.08.HSPL etc. It usually works after a few battery pulls/soft resets but this time it isn't. I've tried running Task 29's, but they're stuck at 0%.
Everything I try do gets stuck at 0%. Well I've tried running a Stock RUU (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.0 7U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe) and that got stuck at 0% too. I tried downloading my stock ROM off the HTC site but it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Why isn't it? My phones not a TMO HD2? It's a EU Leo bought from o2 Ireland. Can anybody link me to possibly the UK o2 stock ROM?
I downloaded a stock ROM from here but all that comes with the English WWE version is a .exe and not a .nbh.
I also flashed Artemis' custom ROM from SD card and that flashed etc. but when I tried to boot I get the white screen.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Sorry to hear your HD2 is not working right now Skellyyy. I am with T-Mobile so I am not familiar with O2 but do they not have an official ROM on their website? Do you have to download your official ROM from HTC? I tried to pull up the o2 website but for some reason it would not let me pull it up. I went to www.o2.co.uk/ and I got this error message.
Error 502 - Bad Request
The server could not resolve your request for uri: http://www.o2.co.uk/

The exe is how you run the update utility for that ROM too by the way. Well atleast it is if you are using a computer to flash it. You have to right click on it and click explore to find tbe RUU file.
Also seeing as you have the EU HD2 why not just download the official update from the T-Mobile website and try it?
Yeah no I don't think they do. I looked on there and they hadn't got it. I think TMO have it on there website is because there's is a different phone then to the EU one.
Wouldn't downloading that ROM sort of brick my phone? Or would it not as the EU is compatible with all radio's?
I know the way you run the .exe then the RUU pops up, but HSPL won't flash anything. I've already tried. I know flashing from the SD works as I've flashed an Artemis ROM from it... but still had the screen.

Good point I have not thought about that. The hole thing about the TMOUS HD2 not being able to flash non TMOUS Radios probably does have something to do with it being there on thier website. This is an effort to keep people from getting confused and downloading the wrong ROM and bricking their phone.

No I don't think just downloading the ROM will brick your HD2, you have to flash it for it to even have a chance to brick it ha ha ha ha..........Just kidding I know what you meant, and no I do not think it will brick your pbone cause you have the EU HD2. You might get some preinstalled T-Mobile apps that you can not use but I think this would be the only side effect. But then again I was thinking you could flash it and then try to reflash your regular ROM as I know that the T-Mobile ROM should fix any issue you are haveing with SPL or the ROM. So maybe then you can get HSPL to flash sucessfully.

I also know if you flash the T-Mobile ROM via SD card it overwrites all, but I think this is the case with any SD card flash of any official ROM. The Artemis ROM is a custom ROM so if you are haveings SPL incompatibility issues it would not fix this as it would take an official ROM flashed via SD to fix that.

stuck at 0% usually means hspl is no longer there.
what does it say by 'spl' in bootloader?
If you have tried to flash a stock rom from sd card at all, , hspl will have gone EVEN IF THE FLASH DIDNT APPEAR TO HAPPEN, hspl will still have gone.
Your phone, if from o2, will always only ever take o2 stock roms, unless hspl is there. HTC website will only let you download o2 roms with that serial.
The .exe file the rom comes as is really a zip file, , right click and 'unzip here or extract here', or rename the file from .exe to .zip, , the file ruu_signed.nbh is inside there.
Artemis probably failed because of your radio and/or spl. tell us what it says in spl, and what rom you want to aim for, and we can take it from there.

But then again I was thinking you could flash it and then try to reflash your regular ROM as I know that the T-Mobile ROM should fix any issue you are haveing with SPL or the ROM. So maybe then you can get HSPL to flash sucessfully.
I also know if you flash the T-Mobile ROM via SD card it overwrites all, but I think this is the case with any SD card flash of any official ROM. The Artemis ROM is a custom ROM so if you are haveings SPL incompatibility issues it would not fix this as it would take an official ROM flashed via SD to fix that.

I've downloaded the RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship .zip
Let's hope it works.

stuck at 0% usually means hspl is no longer there.
what does it say by 'spl' in bootloader?
If you have tried to flash a stock rom from sd card at all, , hspl will have gone EVEN IF THE FLASH DIDNT APPEAR TO HAPPEN, hspl will still have gone.
Your phone, if from o2, will always only ever take o2 stock roms, unless hspl is there. HTC website will only let you download o2 roms with that serial.
The .exe file the rom comes as is really a zip file, , right click and 'unzip here or extract here', or rename the file from .exe to .zip, , the file ruu_signed.nbh is inside there. I can't seem to find a way to change it to a .zip or extract it. It's a basic .exe file.
Artemis probably failed because of your radio and/or spl. tell us what it says in spl, and what rom you want to aim for, and we can take it from there.

Yeah no, that happened me before and I was only had 2.08.0000 but I'm sure I have 2.08.HSPL now. As I've said, it's happened before, in which all I did was do a soft reset and that worked. Doesn't seem to work now though.
I'm pretty sure MAGLDR is wiped now anyway, as when I plug a USB in while off it doesn't boot up, but just goes to a red LED. Is this normal yeah?
Just tried flashing the ROM I mentioned... the little progress bar showed... then the phone rebooted. Now it's back to SPL.
I don't there's anything I can do now is there? :/
ok, hang on, do you have a tmous, or a regular hd2 from t mobile?
I have a EU Leo. I don't know where it's from as I bought it second hand. The guy said it was bought on o2 Ireland.
Hey SKellyyy not saying I don't beleive you but just do this to confirm you have a DU HD2. I know for positive I have a T-Mobile HD2 as I bought mine brand new from a T-Mobile store. On your HD2 touch Start/Settings/scroll down to About Phone/Hardware Information. This is what mine says.

Compare yours and let us know.
if the send key is white its regular, green its tmous. yours will be regular, from o2.which is why none of those roms you tried worked. only ONLY o2 roms will work unless hspl is there, anmd as soon as you flash any stock rom using sd card, it will remove hspl and then teh flash will fail, but hspl is already gone.
so, to get..
a winmo rom
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl (3.03.hspl if you want a 3.14 rom) - bootloader - radio (if needed to update, see the rom thread) - bootloader - flash rom
to prep for nand android
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl - bootloader - radio - bootloader - magldr - magldr usb flasher - flash CWM
bootloader -
Lol dude I'm pretty positive as it only has 512MB ROM and it has no T-mo on top and the buttons are white.
I've already tried to flash HSPL again but that was using the second version of the software (can't remember the name) and it failed. It recognized the phone and let me choose 2.08.HSPL but the progress bar just went and went (for over an hour).
Where will I get a stock o2 ROM as the HTC website says "this software isn't available for your device"?

thats more likely the comp, not the phone. all usual things, reinstall activesync/wmdc, dont use 64bit os if you can help it, firewalls off, etc etc etc. easiest first test is use a different pc.
It was fine flashing CWM on Friday. Currently can't use a different PC, will get one later and try again.
Thinking if I get this fixed, I'm selling it. Too much sh*t happens with it. It's maybe just my phone but this usually happens everyday and a few battery pulls/soft resets fixes it. That by itself is annoying, but this is even more annoying.
hspl is different than flashing roms / cwm.
flashing and sync will work through any old usb port, rarely need to turn off firewalls, whereas hspl is realllly choosy. gotta be a usb socket directly on the motherboard, hates 64bit win, times out before the phone has rebooted if you start it from winmo running, isnt all that happy if you have changed teh usb drivers for that particular port, say for mtty, or android, (each usb port has its own drivers associated with it, thats why swapping usb ports if it fails is always the first step, try them all)
I've tried three different PC's. Two desktops and one laptop, all plugged in to motherboard USB'a but none of them are installing HSPL. They're all just going up and down on the progress bar. Should I try HSPL4? I'm using the HSPL3 program.
No computers are running 64bit btw.
Is there anywhere I can just get the o2 ROM and try flash it?
Yea go to HTC website, support, pick phone, downloads, change dropdown to rom upgrades, operator name is in the title. You can also find them in the official roms thread in rom development section, and elsewhere in various threads.
Keep gour head up!

Sorry you are having so much trouble out of your HD2. The HD2 is a great device but they are quirky as hell. I sure you will get it fixed, keep your head up man. Oh and don't give up on the HD2 just yet cause just like King Authur's Excalibure, The HD2 is a thing of legend.

Yeah, I'm currently looking to get a new HD2. Decided.
It's just the bootloader doing my head in, found the official ROM I need, but it'll only flash from PC and it's stuck at 0%. I need it as a .nbh so I can install from SD card. Do you know how I can do that if the RUU I downloaded is a .exe?
If you got RUU in .exe file install WinRar right click on the RUU file and choose "open with WinRar" then extract the .nbh file
