Hi All,
I have tried searching for the answer to this question and cannot find it, though I am sure I wont be the first to have had this problem.
I am trying to flash a new rom on my touch HD, have tried two different ones - duttys and black pearl. I have managed to get the upsl to work in the bootloader but i cannot get a rom to boot from the SD card. I have followed the instructions on the pages with the roms (same in each) and all i see is a screen flash up after running uspl saying "no image file" then it goes back to the bootloader screen.
In order to get out of bootloader I have to remove my battery which i assume is normal and then it goes back to the normal spl.
I am pulling my hair out on this one - and I dont have much to pull on!
I didnt think it would be so hard with all of the instructions about!
What want you do?
What stage has you done?
I wanted to load duttys rom using upsl but unfortunately I couldnt get it to work so I used the program that comes with the rom to load it in without using bootloader.
I had to load on Olinex to make it work
I had a similar thing the other day when I was having a blonde moment. Renamed the image file BLACIMG.nbh, instead of just BLACIMG......so the actual file name when I looked in to it was actually sitting as BLACIMG.nbh.nbh
Once I'd deleted the .nbh extension out of the file name I renamed it worked.

Did you remove storage card before entering Bootloader screen? Put storage card in after Bootloader is up and before opening USPL.
USPL HowTo
Sorry to ask again.
I had the same problems.
As I couldn't do with USPL (just did not find reasonable step-by-step instructions), I used OliNex HardSPL which worked fine.
But now with new ROM updates, I face significant problems with display color and radio not working.
So, I actually definitely need and would like to ask somebody to take the time to post ...
step-by-step instructions on how to use USPL
PLEASE !
USPL HowTo
Obviously, I just missed out one point and needed to change another.
But for those in the same situation:
Probably only works on Windows XP, didn't work on my Vista PC.
(1) Download the latest USPL (currently 2.5)
(2) extract anywhere on your computer
(3) Go to ActiveSync properties and disable "Allow USB Connections" option
(4) Turn off your device (long press "Power" key or remove/replace battery)
(5) then enter SPL bootloader mode (tri-color)
- Blackstone: when device turned off by pressing and holding "VolDown" key plus "Soft Reset" simultaneously
- did NOT work for me: by pressing and holding "Power" and "VolDown" keys simultaneously.
(6) Connect USB cable and make sure "USB" label appeared in the white portion of the screen on your device.
(7) start / run "cmd" (DOS console) on your desktop PC
(8) Execute blac_uspl.exe in DOS window
current status and any error messages USPL encounters will be displayed in the console window.
(9) If everything goes well, your device will restart and SPL version label should read "1.15.USPL" indicating that USPL was loaded successfully.
You ever read through the USPL thread?
stepw said:
10. How to use it?
Download the latest USPL attached to the second post of this thread and extract anywhere on your computer.
Go to ActiveSync properties and disable "Allow USB Connections" option. Turn off your device (long press "Power" key or remove/replace battery), then enter SPL bootloader mode (tri-color) by pressing and holding "Power" and "VolDown" keys simultaneously.
Connect USB cable and make sure "USB" label appeared in the white portion of the screen on your device.
Execute blac_uspl.exe; current status and any error messages USPL encounters will be displayed in the console window.
If everything goes well, your device will restart and SPL version label should read "1.14.USPL" indicating that USPL was loaded successfully.
If SPL version does not include "USPL" or if the screen is black, soft reset and try again. If "USB" label disappeared and did not reappear, reinsert USB cable.
You can then start RUU update to flash RUU_signed.nbh. Once RUU update is completed, device will restart using regular flashed SPL.
If you want to flash from SD card instead, make sure your SD card is not inserted when you enter the bootloader originally.
SPL will try to install it and would fail if blacimg.nbh is not signed by HTC. Insert the card after "USB" label comes up in SPL but before running USPL.
You can run "blac_uspl.exe ?" to get command line parameter help. Only 1 parameter is accepted and that is the name of an SPL file you want to load. You can load an MFG SPL or HSPL. USPL automatically takes care of allowing unsigned/cooked ROM flashing with any SPL you use.

Should be just clear, isn't it? Have used it a few times, without any problems ...
No, it probably wasn't clear enough.
At least it didn't work for me.
see the changes I applied above (plus minor additions)
remove the memroy card!
the first time i tried the upgrade, it failed... because my memory card was inside the phone. worse, the mem card contains the rom upgrade file.
pls remove the memory card first.. then run the ruu update.
after which, it will state that rom is 1.15.
then can insert memory card (only if u see the USB word on your phone)
then can re-run program.. and update firmware..
I have experienced this problem where no image file was found when flashing from UPSL. I think this is some kind of random **** that happens. I have flashed countless ROM with this method and sometimes this **** just happens without any reason.
hi, how come my tri-color bootloader only shown "Serial" in the white portion of the screen? Is there something wrong with my HTC HD phone? I try to reflash the ROM thru this way since ActiveSync cannot detect my HD. My HD phone only shown battery charging whenever I plugged in the mini-USB cable into the computer.
Anyone can enlighten my issues? Thank you in advance!
I met the same issue, and I solved it by re-formatting the card using FAT32.
MOD EDIT
I'm closing this thread as dummies guide, USPL & HSPL threads already exist.
If your having still having difficulties post your query into relevant thread. I'd suggest you start with dummies flashing guide thread.

Hi there,
Hope you can help me...
Since i bought my Cruise, I flashed it to the newest ROM version of HTC and it automatically installed SPL 3.13 with.
The problem is that if I want to install the WM 6.5 rom, I have to "Downgrade" My SPL version from 3.13.0000 to 2.20.
I followed the steps explained by "Olipro", but when the upgrade starts, RUU kills activesync (seems to be normal) and when the phone normally reboots in bootloader mode (like when you flash a new rom), nothing happens. The phone didn't shutdown and tries to establish a new USB connection !
I tried to turn manually the phone in bootloader mode on to force the SPL update, but the % bar stays at 0 and RUU returns a communication error (262).
I tried also to install the wm 6.5 rom without install SPL 2.2, but it crashes (stays @ 0% too)
I don't know how to install this stinky version of HARD SPL.
Heeeellllpppp !!
NOTE : I tried with or without µSd, does the same thing.
Thx
hmm try disabling firewall and antivirus one of them may be blocking the connection. Thats my only thought about it.
Thank you for the answer but it don't work...
Nobody can help me ?
Try to extract the files from the newest htc rom to a new folder, and then copy the "RUU_Signed.nbh" from the SPL V2 folder to the extracted files (to the new folder) and run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from the extracted files (from the new folder).
nope ...
Please, consider my asks...
I know there is necessarily a solution but I have not yet found.
I don't know where/why it is crashing.
What does the HTC need to downgrade the hardspl ?
Is there a protection that can't be bypassed with the 3.13 ?
The only thing that I can do atm, is flashing the official HTC rom (useless ^^).
The actual version of my rom is :
_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_FRA_3.13.406.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Thanking you in advance...

HSPL 3.13? In this ROM is ver. 3.13 drivers, not HSPL... If you have original ROM and you dont install Olipros HPSL, you have original HTC SPL...
When I enter bootloader mode, the HSPL version is : 3.13.0000
Of course it's the original htc HSPL.
The problem is that I can't downgrade it to the olipro's version : 2.20.
Did you try it on other PC?
2 PCs, 2 USB cables..
The official rom upgrade works fine, I dont think that the problem comes from the computer.
definite guide:
1. establish a connection with activesync via usb (orbit2 to pc)
2. start the romupdateutility provided in hardspl folder.
3. before it starts flashing, you need to also follow on-screen instructions on orbit2!!! execute jump-spl and stuff: click yes on orbit2!!
4. when the orbit2 states: Replug USB. you need to plug the usb-cable once off and then put it back to connect to your pc.
5. it starts flashing and restarts after its done.
Hi Manaaa,
I don't know what is jumpslp ??
I found it on the web (xda..), copied it in my "my documents" folder, ran it but it asks me a jump address (default is 0x00000000) and an spl (*nb) file..
What is jump spl ? What is the address to jump to? and where can I find the *nb file ?
In the olipro's hspl folder is only a *nbh file.
Thank you
I wouldn't recommend using a jump spl for our phones if there isn't one in the Hardspl Pack then one is not needed to be run.
Personally im still really confused by this so if i get it straight.
You are synced with activesync.
Run the file for Hardspl Run RomUpdateUtility.exe
Then go though. It switches off activesync.
Then what?? Exactly Does it ask you to replug the cable? Do you get the rom flash screen (with %) at all??
Also i dont think that spl flashes can be run from the booloader as it has to be a modded bootloader (jumpspl if you will), loaded by the program to be able to flash the new hardspl.
Also i know very little on this, this is as much as i understand it to be.

Normally, after killing activesync, the phone turns into bootloader mode. Mine stays in winCE and tries to establish new usb connection...
I also decided to force manually bootloader mode and killing activesync by myself.
I ran RUU again, it first checked the phone state (such as battery >50%, connectivity...)
CHECK : OK
Next step, by clicking "NEXT" on the RUU interface, the phone turns in "% mode" and the update starts but stays at 0%.
After a while, RUU returns an update error (such as 262).
Noway to flash hardSPL :'-( , v3.13 seems to be "write protected".
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

That is what error 262 is but really dont see why this happens either. And since you can boot into windows its not much help.
So it just wont go to flash it when you click it through, hmm
Your last resort would be to PM cmonex as she will have helped make this with oilpro. Ask and see if she can shed some light on this one. Maybe something has gone wrong somewhere (quite likely) that we don't know how to fix.
Stupid question but have you tried downloading, unzipping it again? May have been a bad dl... or unzip
Have tested it with about 10# DLs...
I PM'd Olipro, waiting for a response now
Flash back to HardSPL and don't Re-Plug
Hi Pixel,
Herewith are guide for you
1) Flash back to HardSPL and don't re-plug until end of session (5 minutes)
2) Flash back to original SPL 3.13 on this post . This original SPL for HTC Touch Cruise only
3) After you do this you cannot flash with other Cooked ROM or Shipped ROM
with different ID, unless you flash back to HardSPL
Good Luck my friend
I have exactely in the same configuration as Pixel69 with the same result.
I've tried to an other PC without any change.
Has somebody any idea?
Just had an idea what OS are you running to do it?
If its not 7 may not be fully compatible... Shot in the dark really
So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.
phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.
Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.
Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.
get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again
yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state
Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?
So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet
What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first
Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?
ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.
Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme
What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?
All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM
I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom
Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...
I had stock 1.66 and I tried install 3.14 stock. I download ROM form HTC page after giving serial number.
All flash process on PC was done correctly, on PC was that flash is finish (it goes to 100% and then I can put only Finish) but on phone I saw only SPL 3.03 after a longer while I decided to reset phone but after reset there is still only SPL 3.03, when I tried install ROM again but it always goes to 1% (HTC logo on Phone is strange, has strange lines on it) and I have error on PC Invalid Model. I tried install older versions but situation is the same.
Is there any possibility to force install ROM in this case or phone is permanently dead now?
on bootloader screen, what does the model ID read as? (top line)

It kinda sounds like you downloaded the wrong stick ROM. Who is you carrier? And what model HD2 do you have?
Hey there Community,
I really don't know much about mobiles, especially the HTC HD2 and flashing ROMs,
but somehow I got Android to work on my HTC HD2 1 year back and now wanted to sell my phone because I got a new one.
Therefore I needed to set up the factory settings and get Windows Mobile 6.5 back on my phone..
Unfortunately I failed hard while following the instructions of a tutorial that said I only needed to rename ruunbh to leoimg and put it on my SD-card and so on.
Halfway the update was interrupted and since then Iam getting "00028002 Not allow" error and can only boot to the bootloader saying "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again" And the usual things in the red disctrict and at the bottom it says that I got an USB-connection which seems to be wrong, because I can't see the device and so on.
I tried to install HSPL4 but it failed due to no USB-connection.
So what can I now do to make it work again? Iam really frustrated
Flashing image from sd is all good if it original correct country/vendor rom, if not you get your problem & things can be tricky as HSPL was replaced with standard SPL so care must be taken.
Either find a correct Vendor/country (CID) ROM for your HD2 or get it in bootloader & able to flash HSPL.
Would of thought for resale a good Android build would be more desirable.
I know what you mean, but the problem is that I just don't know what to do..
My phone is not branded or anything, so I couldn just go to htc.com and get me the newest winmo Rom?
The Problem is, what to do then, exactly?
It seems that I can't flash anything because I dont got usbconnection..
So no idea to original ROM country vendor !
usb connection may be due to driver issue on PC, install Activesync if on XP or WMDC 6.1 for Vista & Windows 7 then retry connecting hd2 via usb .
*Also make sure you know your version of HD2 & be aware of .51 radios killing US T-Mobile HD2s.
Try to flash 2.08.HSPL only (also in HSPL4). It is enough. You can also try these drivers to fix your USB connection.
And here you can find offical ROMs.
Drivers linked above are not suitable, install activesync or WMDC is best option.
Finding original ROM is not going to be easy if you have no clues to origin of handset ...
Also, just cost you don't "see" the phone from the p c doesn't mean you don't have a USB connection.... it will never show up in your drives list like it does when an os is running, and activesync (or wmdc) will also not see the phone when it's in bootloader.
If the phone shows "USB" (and your PC may even "ding" when its plugged in, that's all you can expect unless you look deeper,, into the hardware list, for example.
What does hspl line say?
I'd do....
Hspl4, choose 3.03.hspl (NOT 3.03.0000)
Flash unbranded 3.14 rom from USB
Report back.
I have same story - 00028002 not allow+no usb.
no one stock rom can be flashed.
completely lost and no idea what to do.
