ANYONE wish to help with Idiot proof instuctions - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi I have read and downloaded POFs USPL
But does anyone have the time for a further step by step guide to stop idiots like me asking.
DO we need to put the rom we want into the folder created from POfs USPL
if so what file etc if not then please help.
Confused
Cheers

That's what I thought too but when you put a ROM into that folder it will be recognized as ROM and prefered instead of using pof's ROM. So what you need for unlocking is already there, update with the present ROM.
After you have done what was looking like a complete ROM update you can do the actual update. But after updating your USPL will be overwritten by the provider ROM you will upload to the device. So this method has to be repeated every time you want to upload a ROM that doesn't match your provider.

help flashing with nbh file format

go to the USPL page and download the USPL package.
follow the instructions VERY CLEARLY.

R2A GENERIC_UK ROM Flash FAIL?!

I was running the R1A generic ROM on my Voda Xperia (not using HardSPL) and just tried to flash the R2A ROM when I got a screen full of red writing after the "OS" section. saying
"KOVSIMG.nbh - FAIL"
"UPDATE TERMINATE", "UPDATE FAIL", with a code "00018002" at the top of the screen. I am using the MicroSD method.
EDIT: Restarted the phone and it is continuing the update, I will let you know on status this time.
EDIT 2: Fail again. Any ideas?
Cure
Had same problem (same problem address etc)
Cure:
Re-download rom
Format SD
copy fresh .nbh to SD
Done!
Suspect it was bad byte or similar
Yeh
Hey, I did the same thing and got it working, very strange though.
I didn't redownload I just formatted the memory stick again and copied the same file I already had over. Put it back and it installed fine the 3rd time. How strange that it was the same address, obviously wasn't the file, because like I said I didn't download it again, used the same one.
I HardSPLed mine and it worked fine
whats the difference between hardspl and no hard spl?
Did you install the hardSPL correct version ?
Or did you follow exactly the Tutorial ?
I know that for the french version, I had to use the nbh tool to extract the OS image from the full image to flash correctly my X1.... Take a look in the Tutorial to be sure that this step was not necessary (from memory, if I remember well, the nbh step is not necessary for DE or US, but the best way is not to listen to me but to the tutorial). I personnaly flashed mine but in french & perfect flash !
Difference
The difference between HardSPL and no HardSPL is presumably, that I, without the HardSPL can only flash official ROMS be they Vodafone UK or GENERIC_UK, or presumably any other locale of Official ROM. Since the Vodafone UK phone does not come Sim Locked, there is no reason I guess for them to protect from flashing other official ROMS including the GENERIC.
Since I plan to keep my warranty I do not intent to HardSPL my phone and am happy to keep it to official ROMs as long as they are generic and not the utter ****e that Vodafone dumps on us.
As to tutorial I did not follow any tutorial, I simply copied the rom image to my memory card as Kovsimg.nbh, rebooted using VolDown+Power and followed the on screen instructions. I do not believe a tutorial is required?! Again, as I said, no HardSPL, so that entire stage and attached complications are irrelevent.

FLashing stock rom from memory card

Hi
I have real problems using the exe files from my pc to flash a rom.
I'm trying to remove the t-mobile pink cirle branding and been advised the only way to do this is flashing an unbranded stock rom.
I have hpsl installed, can anyone advise if this is possible and also whether stock roms are available in LEOIMG.nbh format?
THanks
possible. but pls be cautious about stock SPL version.It will overwrite HSPL & make sure it is downgradeable to bepe HSPL. it is better to rip splashscreen only & rebuild LEOIMG.nbh.

You can get rid of the first bootscreen on another way, by just flashing a seperate nbh file (on the same way you can change the radio). Search the 2.09 rom thread in this forum for a way to do this (really simple).
Perfect, thanks, i was worried flashing another .nbh would restrict which rom i could use but sounds like it flashes a different part of the rom

Install/Flash 1.66 ROM

Hi All,
I am new to windows Mob interface and read several threads on how to install cooked roms.
I have 1.48 ROM on my HTC HD2 Leo and need to upgrade it to 1.66.
Can someone please guide me through in how to go about it or post the link (if i have missed any) of any thread that has the tutorial?
Most of the threads talk about flashing a cooked rom but i simply want 1.48 migrated to 1.66?
Any pointers be appreciated.
the process is the same for cooked or official.
is there an upgrade for your phone? you failed to mention is it provider locked?
1 - instal hspl2
2 - run the 1.66 .exe
3 - done.
if you have a provider locked phone, and have the correct update, you can skip step 1, if you have a rom unlocked phone (not network unlocked) then get the htc wwe 1.66 .exe and also skip step 1.
read the stikies for how to do it,. but really all you do is run the progs, press ok when it says.
Hey thanks Sam.
My phone is not SIM LOCKED, tht implies i need not install any HSPL/HSPL2.
All I need to do is ,
1. Download the 1.66 ROM
2. Active Sync my phone
3. Run the exe downloaded.
4. Hard Reset my phone.
Please correct me if i am wrong anywhere!

It ony implies it, it doesn't confirm it.
sim lock and rom lock are unconnected.
If you sim unlocked it yourself, by buying/getting a code, then the rom is still provider locked.
If the phone came sim unlocked, then it is a good bet it is rom unlocked too.
All I need to do is ,
1. Download the 1.66 ROM
2. Active Sync my phone
3. Run the exe downloaded.

yep, thats right. Because you are flashing over usb, it wont affect the SPL, but it will change the radio, so if you want a different radio, you will need to do that afterwards.
Thanks for the info.
My phone was unlocked when it came and was not any provider locked.
All i am looking for is a higher ROM version. Wann try HTC Leo with 1.66 ROM.
Bingo.....
I have upgraded it to 1.66. Thanks for your help

[Update]Radio ROM Thread. (all 8 hd7 Radio's are online)

Here you find some radio rom's for your hd7
[Update] now you will find a custom wrapper made by Dave shaw" attached to this post.
and here a link to Dave Shaw his thread where he share his wrapper to the world
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16460826&posted=1#post16460826
task 00 - this does not perform any kind of format after flashing a ROM.
This is the one you should use when flashing just Splash screens or Radios.
It saves you from having to restore all your data.
what to do with this:
1) download the attachment and extract (HD7_RUUWrapper_00)
2) download a radio you want to flash and extract.
3) copy the RUU_Signed.nbh from the stock folder (only for now, will update later)
4) bring phone in bootloader.
5) run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6) follow instructions on screen.
7) run R/H spl again (this will change later when I updated the radios)
how to bring phone into bootloader mode:
(reboot while hold volume down button pressed). Connect to PC and wait for drivers to be installed. (USB appears on the bottom of phone screen) Than start updater to flash radio.
if you have a rom with a radio that isn't in this post please send me a download link
in the .rar we have:
nb folder (here you find the spl.nb and radio.nb)
Stock folder ( here you find the stock spl/radio.nbh)
XML folder (here you find a .xml with all the data from the 2 .nb files)
RUU_Signed.nbh (this is a radio only .nbh)

Remember you have R/H spl by Cotulla.
Remember that this will NOT reset the phone
Remember that if you take the radio from the stock folder that this will undo R/H spl so you have to run that again to
Thanks goes to:
Dave Shaw for making us a wrapper that doesn't hard reset.
xboxmod for helping me with almost everything
ondraster for the good chats (most things I really didn't understand )
updated the first post
I updated the first post with a ROMUpdateUtility.exe so that all can easy flash the radios to the phone
Thanks a lot for these Ceesheim. Wish I would've had these before I rolled all the way back to catch the firmware update from Tmob By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update? I'm asking as I need to do a friends phone and would like to avoid rolling back just to get that done. Lastly, (and this is just to be sure), but will the phone really be hard reset from just flashing the radio (unlike it used to be on WM).

yes sorry , for now this will Hreset the phone because there is no public custom wrapper (one that does the task 32 instead of task 28)
"By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update?"
do you mean a os update by ZUNE/MS/HTC ?
sorry don't know actually what you mean by this ?
but what this does is only updating the radio rom ( not the os and not the spl)

Ok, just wanted to be sure about the hard reset. And I mean there was an update from Tmob talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188563 and wanted to know, if you install the radio which comes from this firmware update, will all the components of the firmware be updated as well? Or is the firmware update, pretty much just an update to radio and that's it?

it will only change this "5.51.09.11a" to "5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U." part
or one you like
and if you look at the phone (on custom dft) you will see this 2250.21.30401.531.DFT
the number 2250.21.30401.531.DFT is just an identification number I think, it doesn't say anything about with build you have.
so if you ask me then if you only update the radio all would be ok.
edit:
lol, yes to me it looks like just a radio update, and you can take every radio you like my radio comes from this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183891" rom (I extracted it and removed the spl)
So im right in thinking the new custom RUU won't hard reset the device when flashing radios?.

yes I am testing one as we speak but the problem is that it generate errors (and that isn't good for noobs )
and I can also tell you that the custom ruu is actually worked (no hard reset after radio flash )
but first the errors need to be fixed after that it will be posted on xda

when flash is at 100% then just remove batt
if it didn't update then use the radio in the stock folder and run r/h spl after flash one moer time .

Ok, got you. I'm sure there has to be something else in the firmware update besides the radio, but probably doesn't matter much anyways. Can't wait for the custom wrapper either

hey Kwill , look at first post
The TMOUS update you're talking about included driver updates to fix the HTC Pink Camera issue. So, flashing just a radio ROM from here will not help. Flashing a custom ROM may undo this as well as I don't know if the custom ROM's have the updated drivers.

Hi!
I was just wondering if I flash the RUU_signed.nbh from the root folder the Cotulla HSPL remains in place. Which is really true but the phone cannot start: it keeps returning back to the BootLoader.
This is easy to resolve: Flash RUU_signed.nbh from stock folder of the archive as it is described in the first post. Cotulla HSPL is gone but ROM and data is intact. .
Hope there will be a fix for keeping HSPL in place.
Anyway this is far more easy now to upgrade my radio. I thanked every post by ceesheim here. (I hope I won't get in to trouble with that. )
Really thank you guys.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of (there being something that wouldn't update with the firmware update). Guess I'll take my friends phone through the rollback and update him that way. Thanks drkfngthdragnlrd for chiming in on that one.

Hi, I've read the instructions a few times, but I guess I'm missing something. I keep getting the attached Error when I run it. My phone does the have the HSPL also.
Thanks
i am on asia HD7 Singtel
i would suggest not flashing this thing onto yr phone because a while back i recenived the same HTC firmware update available to Tmous users.
the htc update updates the radio to 5.65. and we arent sure if it contains other enahncements, bug elimination or any other improvements

You should download any Radio ROM archive from the first post than extract it. Inside you can find three folders. Or of them (stock) contains RUU_signed.nbh you're searching for. Use that for flashing.
