Hi, got some problems with one of my employes Herald (not simlocked or anything).
It ended up on my desk after complaints about it rebooting by itself every minute or so. I figured I could sort it out by upgrading to wm6. Wen to HTCs website and downloaded the official RUU (HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe). Everything went along fine and I left it upgrading on my desk and went for lunch.
When I got back it said that the update had failed and I followed the recover function but without success.
Now Im stuck in bootloader mode, and when I try to update it again the current image version is listed as blank and I get to about 1-2 percent before it shuts down and gives "ERROR [244]: INVALID MODEL ID".
Any suggestions on what to do?
Further information...
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.17.0000
When i do a hard reset, after it says format complete it boots up and freezes with a green gradient across the screen.
You can try using USPL or HARDSPL to flash.
The USPL will get around CID locks
This is from ivan's A Herald's Guide to Flashing Aserg, USPL and HARD-SPL - xda-developers
II. How do I flash an NBH file?
Warning: To use the NBH ways, you MUST have a SPL of 4.0 or higher. If you have a lower SPL, you WILL brick your phone.
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.
Thanks for the reply,
First, I cant get activesync to find the phone, only evidence of contact in between the phone and PC is that its listed as [Windows CE USB Devices+PocketPC USB Sync] in device manager. I tried to uspl flash with ASERG.8, and it stops at "STEP 1/3...."
I downloaded mtty to see if it could connect, and it did.
Any further suggestions on what might work!
uninstall..reset.. clean install would probably get activesync to work w the phone..
Reinstalled activesync without any change. And soft/hard reseted everything…
Tried to flash via sd as per instructions in another thread, got to "checking SD contents" and then straight to triple-color bootloader.
Help me please! ;D
Cant help getting the feeling that Im completely screwed...
Cant get activesync to recognize it, only way to get it to light up is via bootloader (camera + reset button), everything ive tried to flash it with hangs almost instantly.
As a complete novice my guess is that the current rom is corrupted and I badly need advice on how to go on. The sd-flash seems quite logical but I cant get it to work. Ive tried to overwrite my sd with 00-values in winhex and then placing the original ruu [HERAIMG.nbh] (through windows, is there a way to write data with winhex?) on the card without any success.
Any suggestions on what to try is much appreciated.
Sounds like the SPL got corrupted or partially written only... sorry. Repair center time. You can also placing your Stock RUU's nbh file into your SD card and renaming it to... umm.. I forget... and then flashing FROM the phone.
facdemol said:
You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.

Thanks for the reply, before giving up and sending it in for repair I would like to give the sd-flash a proper try... So far Ive managed to format the card with winhex but I cant really figure out how to write to the card in raw format. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
i managed to do the steps said above ... formated the card in RAW format etc but still the phone won't turn on ... it will only stay in bootloader ...

Care to enlighten me on how you did that?
I've been reading a lot lately.. I wonder if the phones are savageble... something about flashing but bypassing the radio check... Also, the universal has an RUU that bypasses any checks before it flashes... this would be great for us to have... I'm asking around...

if you find it please tell us about it cos a lot of phones are getting bricked ...
If I'm correct, you told us a few post above thisone you placed your SD card with the imghera.nbh and got "checking sd conents" and then it went to bootloader.
As far as i can recall you need to get your Herald into bootloader first and then place your SD card with the IMGHERA.nbh file on it. Then it should start reading the image from, your SD card.
Judging from your first post you haven't been using the asigned RUU from the HTC website if this was your first rom flash to WM6 and you got a vendor error. Try to convert and use that one when you flash from sd card.

Ive been trying to flash with the WM6 RUU I downloaded from HTC's site (the one that bricked it) since that is the only local (swedish) and official one I could find. Have I misinterpreted it all and the only thing that could do the trick for me is WM5.1?
Ive also been trying to contact the HTC service dept for over a weeks time ending up in a deadend overfilled voicemailbox - meanwhile my warrantyperiod ran out... Any suggestion on what to do?

This is how I've done it and it's my third rom in 5 days.
1. Format you micro SD to FAT32 using a USB card reader, not quick format preferably
2. Read CID from your SD with Qmat while connected with active sync
3. Get Gold Card using QMat with the CID obtained, you should have in 2 min
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
WORKS LIKE CHARM
RKS LIKE A
MY HD2 - east european unbranded
PS you can flash both your regional rom or any other rom
...except that it's been said hundred of times in the stycky threads.

There's a difference between condensed and incomplete. The post doesn't even mention where to get QMAT, or were to apply for the actual goldcard. The least OP could've done was post a link to the sticky thread.
Aside from that, I would personally advise easily confused people to stay away from QMAT, especially if all they have is half a tutorial.
Thank you. Clear and simple. (Have to combine information from the sticky post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
as well thought)
Will try it later on.
UPDATE
After trying unsuccessfully for more than two weeks to flash a different language ROM, and reading this post I have managed to flash the new 1.6x ROM in 5 minutes.
Notes
Used the same MicroSD card I have been using unsuccessfully the last two weeks, and the same goldgard I had for two weeks now.
The goldcard remains the same no matter how many times you format the SD, and immediately after the completion of the installation of the new ROM needs reformat. Can be reused as many times as we want I guess.
THANK YOU

New user dude?
It appears that we joined about the same time. It was meant to help the new people not annoy "know it all" people like you. It must have gotten to your head. Just remember you were a "new" once too.
Apparently i did something similar to your way, and it works. The way posted in the Guide is not working for many people, this might be a good option for those who are at the brink of giving up to flash their device to 1.61.
This works! I didn't even format my SD card! Thank you
does not work for me. I have tried all combination, all possible thing. still not working.
Hi wmfreak.
Worked first time and so easy. Was going to try the long winded hex editor etc way but this was much easier.
No format of SD card required either as stated above!
THANK YOU!
What i did...
1) Downloaded qmat from link at top of the page... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
2) Downloaded getsdsn1_leo.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5169107&postcount=109
3) Installed qmat to PC
4) Extracted getdns_leo.zip with exe to desktop.
5) Ensure phone connected in sync mode (not drive mode) and ensure synced (with either activesync (win xp) or mobile device center (vista/win7)
6) Run exe from getdns on desktop whichs dump A txt file with CID to desktop.
7) Registered my CID and email as per top link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
8) Recieved img file from register and saved to PC.
9) Ran Installed QMAT Program from Pc with Phone still synced to PC
10) In QMAT ran Menu >Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD Card Utils
11) Pressed button <Get SD Card Serial and Disk ID>
12) Once the ID was found I pressed button <Write ImageFile> in same dialog box.
13) Searched for my previously saved from email .img file called goldcard.img
14) BINGO! Gold IMG wrote successfully to card.
15) Downloaded 1.61 ROm from these forums and ran exe from rar from pc and off it went updated with no issue in normal rom update method!!!
P.S UK user with unlocked SIM phone.
UPDATE: Just relised u dont need the getdns_leo.zip - just run qmat to step 11 then register for the GOLDid and come back to qmat to write img!!
I too succesfully flashed to the TUR version from WWE West Europe version. I followed the guide on page 30 on the 1.61 WWE TUR thread, which essentialy is the same thing.
Thnx, I appreciate your post!

Hello, that is why I combined information from the sticky thread

Probably you have to
--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit original PHM Site (offline at the moment)
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
and from this thread
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
This the the procedure that worked for me. (steps for obtaining a GoldCard not mentioned here).
Good Luck.
worked for me too,
sorry for being thick guys but....if i flash my rom do i have to use the same memory card as what im using now or can i use another just to flash??
obviously using the one i have now i will delete all of my apps when formatting??
Use another sd
Correct, or backup your current sd.

I did something really silly 2 days ago.
Playing with the HD, i was looking at the sd card and saw old 1.14 spl as an nbh file, and thought, i think i might go back o scratch and start fresh. So i knew running 1.56 roms, that i would get the green screen and thought, well i know how to fix that, and proceeded to update the spl first--- what a mistake that turned out to be.
Now i hear u say just hook it up to activesync-- well there is my second problem- activesync wont see the phone in any of 3 usb 2.0 ports on my laptop.
Put it into bootloader when hooked up, and i get the tri color screen and it says
Blac120 32M RUUNBH
SPL-1.14.0000
MicroP-Blackstone(LED) V6
Upgrade Rom Code error
Please try again
USB doesnt show at the bottom where it usually says Serial.
When i remove the usb cable, it says serial, and when i plug it back in, it wont disappear.
The phone will not do anything except go into bootloader screen everytime i turn it on.Even just by pressing on button, with sd dard removed. Once on, i have to remove the battery to turn it off.
My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Very appreciating Frank in Australia
"My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card."
You answered your own question. If you've got the bootloader, you don't have a brick. Do that, and you should be fine.

I am not sure but i think you can extract the nbh file from the original htc stock rom.exe file.i do not want to say anything stupid but maybe after that you can update from the card.Someone correct me if i am wrong.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Yes you can extract the nbh file from the shipped rom. On your pc, right click on the shipped rom.exe and select "Extract Files.....". Then rename the extracted RUU_signed.nbh file to BLACIMG.nbh, copy to your sd card and flash. Good luck.
disable <allow usb connections> in the connection settings of active sync.. this might be the reason..of thd not being detected on usb connection in bootloader mode!
use MTTY .. erases almost everything on ram except bootloader..
or u can flash a stock rom
Thank you everyone for your advice. I have now managed to extract nbh from stock 1.14 rom, wwe as i need, and it goes 1 step further by saying loading, checking and then an error or 020002 appears and says not allow

Hi all,
Before I post here I have googled over the internet looking for a solution and i have read alot but no success, i have tried many different suggested solutions but all have failed, so that I'm here to ask who have faced a similar situation of me.
My HTC HD2 was having SPL-1.42 with its original stock ROM, then I decided to upgrade for a cooked ROM so that I installed the HSPL then it became SPL-1.42 HSPL, that was fine then I'm were able to upgrade to any cooked ROM, I have flashed my device with many different ROMs even the stock ones, every thing were very fine till I upgraded to the stock ROM of leo 2.10 "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship" by via the MicroSD card and now stuck with the SPL-2.08 as shown in the attached photos.
I tried to flash again using the EXE file from my PC but it take very long time the fail even with the original stock ROM of my device, and I tried to flash using the SD card but it take very long time just showing a white screen labeled "loading..." and no more activity.
I attached some photos showing the problem.
I know its my fault because I did not read the warning in the text file that included with the ROM folder "Do not flash using the MicroSD"
So that, I'm looking for a solution... please help..
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
Note: pardon me about my poor English.

Heya i think ur stuck now on that SPL 2.08 havent heard any1 succeeding in putting hspl on it atleast from what ive read.
The cause is because u flashed that Tmous ROM trough MicroSD which overwrites the hspl.
I think if u had read the stickies more carefully this could be avoided but u can still flash Tmous roms some1 correct me if im wrong. hope this helps a bit
Thanks for replaying,
yeah you are right I have to be more careful but now its done and stuck with SPL 2.08.
anyway, I have tried to falsh it using Tmous ROMs but it faild, it says "this device is not suitable for this ROM" then exit, by the way, my device is the Asia version and I tried to flash it using the new officially updated ROM from htc.com but it also failed, it take very long time more than 15 minutes with no activity the I disconnect the USB from the device to save the battery charge, I'm afraid to stuck with a dead battery. When I disconnect it the upgrading software on my PC asking me to restart the device and reconnect it again then I did, the official upgrading software recognise the device then start to flash it but it stuck at beginning of the flashing process it just change the screen of the device to the back background with the progress bar its reading 0% and take very long time then i disconnect it.
by the way, is the any way to downgrade the SPL to 1.42 ?
any help please..
Thank you.
Last week I also face this problem. But I'm not using SD card to flash the room.
However, I backup my sd card then format the card, it become will afther this.
Same thing happened to me. This is what I did, removed the battery for about 10 seconds and flashed the original ROM. Then reflashed HSPL. It worked for me.
Thank you all for replaying..
I tried to do as you did but no success at all.
well, what next ?
Thank you

i believe to try to flash Original Rom from SD Card. not from PC.
i personally save my stock rom in SD card for future use in case of emergency.
Thanks for replaying
I tried to flash using the stock ROM is SD card but it failed, it shows a white screen with a "Loading..." word only, no activity.
Any help please..
You must use GoldCard repaired your device .Look here (Post 31 & 41) Repaired (with any Goldcard ) HD2 damaged when the flash rom TMOUS with memory card :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=640183&page=4
You must change Tmous 2.07 ( in guideline article ) replaced by your ship rom 2.10.
same happened to xmoo....just letter xmoo about your problem...i hope he can help you....

Ok this is solution for that problem
no success yet..
but i'm confused about how to use the goldcard ?
I tried to you the attached goldcard.img from the post Id=640183&page=4 but no success.
is the goldcard.img dedicated to a specific device based on its CID ? or it can be used for any device ?
Thank you
Surely XDA Mods should take down the SD card method as there are about 10 threads a week of flashing the 2.10 ROM via SD card and getting stuck cause they don't read enough before hand - if the SD card method isn't there people won't brick their phones!!
{Solved} HTC HD2 stuck at beet loader...
Hi all,
finally I got my device running
by flashing it using Goldcard method, I bought the PSAS software and flashed it using Tmous 2.10 and now it is running fine.
well, the steps as the following:
1- getting the CID of the SD card that you are going to use for flashing you device, I used linux OS to get the CID of my SD card by:
linux host #>more /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
that will give you the CID of the SD card.
2- Start the PSAS software and must be registered then go to Calculations/Generators then select Generate HTC goldcard.
3- then click "Save Goldcard Image to file", rename it whatever you wanna name for example "goldcard.img".
4- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk image..
5- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk...
6- then click on "goldcard.img" tab then select the lines from 00000000 to 00000170 all the file content by high lighting it, then select Edit -> Copy.
7- then go to the disk tab the containing the sd card, then select the same addresses (00000000-00000170) then Edit -> Paste Write, then save the new content.
8- copy a leoimg.nbh to the SD card, its recommended to get it from the ROM that bricked your device. I'm used Tmous 2.10.
9- insert the SD card into your device then boot it to the bootloader by holding the volume switch down while your switching the device on.
10- wait for the menu to appear and follow the instruction to complete.
Thats work from me and should work for you.
by the way, I flashed US Tmous while my device is Asian.
Thank you all
and
Best regards
if you have your CID I may help you to generate the suitable goldcard.img for your device.
I think I've read that even though you are stuck on spl 2, now that you have it running you should be able to flash roms with sspl but you won't be able to change the radio.
HTML:
till now I'm not sure about the radio, any way, I'm trying to hack it, i successfully initiated the process of radio upgrading but it failed at 99%.
we gonna do it one day...

I also bought PSAS and used my old TP to goldflash the card. Then flashed it with the TMOUS ROM using SD method. After that it game back to life and only way to flash other roms is using sspl. Only thing now is that I'm stuck with this TMOUS initial splash screen.
Also you can change the splash screen using SSPL,till now you can change what ever you wanna change using SSPL except the radio and SPL flashing.
now i'm looking for flashing the radio with some how.
tamAyT:
SD card method should be used a last resort and only if you know what you're doing - it's a million times easier to use HSPL and ActiveSync as if it fails it's easy to recover. I've never used the sd card method and after reading what it can do if you don't read into the ROM well enough it's not worth the hassle IMO

HAHAHA.
For me changing the first 2 00 in de hex edit of the goldcard to 11 fixed the issue.
Radio 2.08 is greate.. SPL 2.08 is greate... So no problems a.t.m., if I need a stock rom I use SSPL...
But then again I hope someone comes with HSPL 2.x tho.
Hi Guys,
I'm kinda stuck here, hope you'll be able to help:
Situation is as follows:
I have an HTC Leo, and after 2 months of usage - got the white screen:
1. Tried soft reset - no good
2. Tried hard reset - no good
3. Cannot sync to PC with ActiveSync - does not detect the device
4. Can go to boot mode, but only with voulme down+soft reset button
5. Cannot sync in boot mode as well - there appears to be a "USB" writing at the bottom, (white line on boot mode) though ActiveSync does not detect via usb?
6. Tried to install HSPL2 - starts to install, never finishes, proggress bar goes up and down forever (on PC) - I believe device needs to be synced before installing?
7. Device is enabled in the device manager, though cannot explore - thus no access to SD card
8. Here we go, I seem to do something wrong, PLEASE HELP, I payed for the device about 400E in my country, stock warranty is not an option
9. HEEEEEEEEEELP
10. Thanks!!!
Try flashing the stock ROM for your HD2 via SD card. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 then go to T-Mobile.com to download the ROM you will have to enter the IzmEI number from under your battery to download it. If you have a international HD2 go to HTC.com and enter your serial number that is under your battery to getca list of ROMs you can download and install on your HD2. If the ROM is a .exe you will have to right click it and renamecthe file .zip to view the contents. After that follow the instructions in the thread linked below to flash the ROM.

[Q] Thanks
Hi, thanks for the info,
When I go to HTC homepage, i find "Rom Upgrades" - is that the same as the ROM itself?
Sorry if the q is dum ,I'm completely new in this
And also - does the card have to be empty (only ROM in) so that the phone boots it?
Thanks again

Yeah that is what you are looking for. The ROM upgrades is the most recent official ROMs out for the HD2. Just make sure you use your serial number to make sure you get a ROM that is for your HD2 or you will not be able to flash it unless you get HSPL on your HD2. Also make sure the HTC site you are on is for your part of the world, your country or the country the HD2 originated from.
[Q] Hi again, last q
When I Explore the contents of the rom I see numerous files, and reading the instructions you linked tells me to rename an image. The ROM is an exe, so I renamed it to zip , explored and currently I see only one .nbh file:
RUU_signed.nbh
Should I rename this one to LEOIMG.nbh and copy this file only to SD card? Or rename and leave there, take the whole exe and put it into the SD Card?
Would that be sufficient to run the ROM in bootload?
Thanks again brother, you're a lifesaver

Just take and copy the RUU_signed.nbh file make a copy ofcthe file and past it to your desktop and then rename it to LEOIMG.nbh then copy that file to the root of your SD card. All you have to have is the .nbh file but it has to be named LEOIMG.nbh.
You can also flash a radio, splash screen, and MAGLDR this way if need be. But you would still have to flash CWM via custom RUU via USB if you installed MAGLDR.
[HIHI]
Great - now "Radio fail" - update terminated... any ideas?
Exact error description:
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - Fail
RADIO - Fail
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
and this is an official HTC ROM?!?

Sorry I had to get some sleep, anyway I suggest you first make a backup copy of your SD card and then reformat your SD card using the Panosonic Mick SD card formatting software, just Google it you will find it. Do a full wipe of hour cardcand format it using Fat 32. Then copy the LEOIMB.nbh to your card and try it again. Also try to use a card no bigger than a 8GB as bigger SD cards are prone to give people problems when flashing via SD card. Note I did not say they will notcflash a ROM, bit they sometimes give people trouble.
Also I forgot to tell you this morning that if your HD2 says USB in the white bar of bootloader and it also says HTC USB sync in the device manager in the control panel of your computer, then you have a Sync connection to your computer but you can not use this connection for anything bit to flash different software to your HD2.
[Q] Hi Buddy, 10x for staying so long :)
Sorry brother,
I really appreciate your help so far.
Same Sh*t - even after FAT 32 format
When tried to upgrade with the official HTC ROM - "RUU_signed...." (not via SD) HTC boot screen appeared, but after 1% said : Image corrupted". It coud be that the stock rom sucks big time. May be try with some Artemis?

Yeah maybe you got a bad download of the ROM. If that was the only official ROM you could down load. I would try to download it againcand delete the first copy you downloaded, or I would flash HSPL. to my HD2 and then try to flash the stock ROM are a custom ROM. Custom ROMs are better than stock ROMs anyway. Just remember though if you have a warranty and you need to send your HD2 in for warranty work or exchange you need to revert your HD2 back to complete stock. This means ROM, radio, and SPL.
