Radio Fail - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a query guys. I have a 512mb HD2 on 1.66 spl, now i'm not able to hspl my phone and when i power it on its just a white screen but i can get into the bootloader. I'm trying to flash an original rom to it by USB but it fails cos of communication error so i'm trying through SD but i keep getting the radio_v2 fail. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

You sound a bit unclear so let me ask you.
Have you tried installing HSPL? (HSPL4.zip from HSPL master thread).
I had similar problem as you (communication error with SPL). With HSPL it's there no more.

Download the orgional rom for your phone, extract the .nbh file from the exe. Rename the .nbh to leoimg.nbh, put it on your sd card. Next go into the boot loader and it will wipe any spl / hspl you had on your phone and put on the orgional OS.
Make sure you download the correct rom. This should restore your phone back to orgional factory settings and let you start again!

Radio fail is a fairly common fault, sadly rarely fixed, and often also prevents spl/hspl from flashing too. Of course try the above suggestions, and also try chilling the phone in the fridge for half an hour too, with an image on the SD card ready to insert the moment you get the phone out.
there are dozens of this type thread, and very few successful fixes. Good luck.

search for titan_exitbl
Well when i first tried to install it didnt really work because i didnt use the newest bootloader. I dont think its going to work for you either unless you use it. I would just go back to the stock rom/radio and use then install the newest boot loader/unlocker, then radio, then gps rom.
But if you want to try, your going to have to get a sd card, format it to fat32 then put the .nbh (the largest file in the rom download) file on the card, but name the file TITAIMG.nbh. Then put the phone in boot loader mode (hold camera, power, and reset)
When the phone starts up this time the bootloader will load that .nbh file to the phone just as if you had done it through active sync (close).
You can use this for anything really. If you want to go back to the stock rom, download the rom exe from htc's website and extract the .nbh file with a program called zipscan. If you do this you will be back to stock everything except maybe the BL im not really sure if.
If you want to try the newest rom (which most likely wont work since your not using the newest hard spl) just take that .nbh file and name it TITAIMG.nbh and put it on your sd card and put phone in boootloader mode and it should copy that image.
I tried to explain the best i could just ask if you have any questions.
for the life of my i cannot see why people cant search for a problem before they post about it.

Did you try to hold down the power/camera buttons and do a soft reset to try and get back to the bootloader screen?

This worked for me too!!!! Simple too. You can extract the .nbh file using winrar too.
And to comment on why people don't search for answers first before posting.....
I read everything I could before trying all of this out. My computer experienced the BSOD in the middle of the relocking process. The above listed methos was the only way that I could get my device to work. And yes, I asked the same question that hb1774 asked. I had read about this method in another post, but everything is so spread out and very new to me and a lot of people. Lets try not to be sarcastic. People come here to learn and hack. I know a hell of a lot about computers, but I'm not Yoda, so I'm going to need help. Until there is a well organized post with a solution to every issue that comes up, there are going to be repeat questions. If you know that it's a repeat question and you know where the answer is burried in the forum, why not post a link to the answer? Just my 2 cents worth.

well said johnannie. if you want to help people - help people. i have the same issue with my Mogul.

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)

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.

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.

My HD2 is a brick now... after trying to flash a stock ROM :-(

Hi,
After months and months of installing custom ROMs, and I even ran Android for few months, I need to take it to service (I broke the screen).
I have tried (not successfully) to install SPL on it using HSPL3 (info got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477). After I have opened HSPL3 and clicked first "Next" button, few seconds later it has generated an error. The phone remained in the 4 color screen showing me the HSPL version I have (SPL-1.42.HSPL XE). From here nothing works (hard reset doesn work, it takes to same screen).
PLEASE help. Nothing I read helped. Phone is unusable now.
Thank you in advance.
PS: I admit I am doing something wrong (since I can not fix it any more)...
[LE: I have copied "RUU_signed.nbh" renamed it, opened Bootloader and I was able to install SPL-1.42.0000. But now I am still stuck in same 4 color screen in the beginning... Hard Reset nor Soft reset do not work.]
Try to star in bootloader mode (vol down + power button), connect usb cable and install HSPL 2.08:

Install stock rom from sd card:
Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
One more info your sd card has to be a normal one (1G or 2G) not HC
and after that reinstall hspl let me know if it was working

I remember someone here few months back also accidentally flashed SPL which give similar error (Stuck at OSPL which you cant flash HSPL due to unsupported version. Means you are stuck with SPL which was not intended for your region/product code). If im not mistaken, you may need to try and flash various version of stock roms with different bundled SPLs (steps to lower version). Meaning, the goal is to slowly step down towards the supported SPL version so that you can flash HSPL and then finally use the right Stock ROM to get your original (out of the box) SPL.
Anyone, please correct me if im wrong. Good luck mate.

Yep, it seems this is the problem.
Find the first of the stock roms for the country the phone is locked to and flash it.
But try to flash the complete rom and not only the radio.
Try this older rom:
Code:
http://www.htc.com/ro/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=804
Or this one:
http://www.4shared.com/file/236870807/d9482029/RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_166.html
Or go here and flash older radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787&highlight=serial
What you need to do is go to HTC's website, for your area, and try and download ROMs with your phone's serial number. This will ensure that you are only allowed to download a ROM that is allowed on your phone. If you get an invalid message, then you need to try another ROM.
You may have a operator locked phone - you can only flash a O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, etc ROM.
More ROMS
Just in case you need it, here's an absolutely HUGE collection of original shipped ROMs for the Leo.

Thanks for your replies. However, I was able to fix it... by mistake.
After seeing that nothing works I connected the phone while it was showing that screen (4 colors) and I have flashed the stock ROM mentioned by me in previous posts using the flashing tool inside the package. Even if the main condition was to have it sync-ed, I have tried anyway and it worked (it is not sync-ed unless it boots up first).
Now it is functional again and ready for service.
Happy ending eventually.
thanks for link of roms btw how i now what rom is mine my phone is brand not from some network orange t mobile etc....

If you don't know from where your device is coming from, with witch operator it is brand; than you can contact HTC.
And share them your S/N thy will be able to communicate you to witch provider your device is branded.

Help! Broke phone :/

... I knew messing about with ROMS would do this one day..
I Started to flash the 3.14 (I think) update from the HTC site this morning, I realised after I started HSPL would get in the way of that...
SO now it loads to the coloured lines screen, I tried coping a image to the SD card to flash straight from that but I cant get it to search the SD card. All I get when I hold down the power and volume button is a "loading" message for a split second, then nothing else!
Help! Any ideas what I can do now?
Thankyou!
Ok, so I can now get it to read from the SD card that there is a image there - but it just sticks at "loading"
Ideas?

2 Options.
Previous flash has gone wrong, so reflash the rom you was flashing using sd-card (also check on what SPL you are).
Get a goldcard and reflash any other stock rom.
SPL-2.08.0000
Is whats on the screen, previously it said HSPL so I think one of the roms may have been successful enough to change to SPL... But im guessing this is bad now as it wont flash again from the SD card!

This updated it to 2.08.HSPL
Im fairly certain Ill be able to flash at least a stock ROM now.
Wanted to ask first, Ill be messing with Andriod and possibly windows 7. Is there anything I should preferably be flashing too? Are there any limits with 2.08HSPL I need to be aware of before I start?
Thanks,

you'll need an updated radio for nand android or wp7 (each has its specifics - see threads).
but what wm rom won't matter, as well, it will be erased
no limits. if you have hspl you can flash any compatible rom, etc.

[Q] screen freezes and does not boot

Hello there,
I bought my HTC HD2 two weeks ago, and when I received it, it had a ROM of a 3.14 Version with a Radio of 2.15.50
(RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship). The previous buyer told me he had Android Running on SD Card.
When I started "playing" with the phone, I got a lot of Screen Freezes during any app (Internet, Mail, Facebook). Not only did the screen frooze, but also did the no longer start up properly. Either it didnt hang during the Logo, or when entering the PIN. Even during Hardware resets it frooze sometimes.
As the described ROM from above not the "real" supported ROM for THAT HD2 is, I flashed the original 1.72 Version with a Radio of 2.07.51 (RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship downloaded directly from HTC.com).
I thought, maybe its the ROMs problem. However, now I face the same problems and start to think the problems are hardware related. Am I correct there, or do you guys have any other thoughts?
Could be hardware related indeed.
Did you try to run your device without SD card?
Sometimes, older SIM cards can also cause trouble.
And finally, what SPL is on your device now? You can check this information in the bootloader screen.

I have a SPL-2.08.0000 (not HSPL). I run it without the SD Card aswell, but i got the same issues. Since I still have warranty on the phone, do u think I should make use of it and send it in? but then I want to make sure, that there are no traces on my phone that I installed some Android NAND versions...

mine is t-mobile, but a GERMAN t-mobile, I'm not having the US-version. but what did u do? did u get a fix?
now my phone is stuck again in the boot logo, which gives me the perfect opportunity to write down all the details:
R 2.07.51.22~2
G 15.32.50.07U
D 1.72.86525
anything wrong with that? I flashed the rom, which i downloaded directly from HTC.com (the only capable for my phone (TMOU GERMANY))

Well, you do have the older T-Mob ROM, combined with a newer SPL.
Try to flash SPL 1.66 with the program HSPL2.exe before sending it anywhere, then make a hard reset. Re-try again with the SD card out, in the worst case, there might be some buggy data in the application data folder (if there is one).

Thank you. with the SPL 1.66 Windows is running smooth again. But what caused all the crashes in the 3.14 version with SPL 2.08 or in Android NAND Versions with 2.08.HSPL ?? I think if I send my phone in for warranty, they tell me everything is fine with the phone....

The official 3.14 ROM shouldn´t run with any other SPL than 3.03.
NAND ROMs require MAGLDR, and this, on the other hand, requires HSPL 2.08. If there was still a different SPL on your device (which should be checked by the tool, as far as I remember, and therefore, I don´t know if that´s possible), you might have to source of problems.
The 2 major sources of problems are a) a wrong Radio ROM or b) a corrupt SD card, in some rarer cases an older SIM card.
If your system and device are running properly now, I think it might be indeed a waste of time to send it to a service center. If you like, it might be worth to give another try with a proper installation: Put HSPL 2.08 on your device, then Radio ROM 2.15.50.04, then MAGLDR 1.13, and then a nice Android NAND build.
No need to ever boot into Windows once you start all that flashing stuff.

I gave it a try, but for some reason I am unable to flash any rom anymore. I tried to flash it via SD card and via the .exe file through the bootloader. Through the .exe file the process only proceeded until 8 or 10% and aborted. Through the SD-Card it only showed the grew screen for a few seconds and returns to bootloader with "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"
Apperantly I did something wrong, but I dont know what. Ytd I was still able to flash the original stock windows 1.72 rom from sd card, but even that one is not working anymore.

I also tried installing only the radio rom, but that fails somehow as well. I flashed Radio Rom
Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
Leo_RADIO_2.14.50.02
Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
which i found in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
they flash to 100% but then I get a message on the phone "Software update failed. Please try again" and the computer says "This Update cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your update Utility.
anyone has any idea?
i dont know what to do anymore, the only flashing that works is hspl. i dont want to try magdlr, since the rom before hat a .51 radio, but i cant flash roms or radios....
i need some help, please.
If you tried everything, and only the official 1.72 ROM runs properly, the last remaining tip would be task 29. But I´m afraid, now that we can exclude almost everything, that the service center might be a good idea.
I would re-flash the latest ROM, which doesn´t perform well as you write, and send the device in to get it fixed.

what is task 29? I havent heard about it till yet? I will give it a try. Currently I'm trying all combinaitions to at least get 1.72 to get flashed again. This one isnt flashing either right now.
big news:
I have no idea why it worked but it did.
After flashing the entire night with different methods and ROMs and Radios, I almost gave up, and thought my phone is bricked. However, i didnt touch it at all until this afternoon.
First I run HSPL.2.08 again,
then I tried to flash the Stock ROM via SD didn't work.
then I tried to flash the Stock ROM via USB: here it used to stop at 10% and gave me an error.... this time it stopped at 10% for like 30sec and then continued!!!
So now I put SPL.1.66.0000 again to have it in original condition. Can I send it in under warranty like this? Every trace has been removed, correct?
I still don't know what is wrong with the phone. 48h ago, when nothing worked, the only flashing method which did work was via SD. Then I was at branded T-mobile Windows 6.5 on a 1.72 ROM. (Basically exactly where I am now) However, THEN I tried to flash to a higher ROM (3.14) to have a radio of .50 (to flash MAGDLR etc). but this never succedded and I ended up with one flash error after the other.
For a moment I thought my Radio is broken, since I could not flash any Radio. However all the radios i tried to flash were .50 radios. The radio of the current 1.72 ROM is however a .51 version. Does that mean I have some sort of "Radio-Lock" on my phone?
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know, but I think I dont wanna flash anything until I get the device back from HTC. However, once it get it back, how do I know that I can flash to the higher ROM again?? I am very cautious and distrustful to my phone right now.
