First of all I feel obliged to say I'm sorry for creating a new thread just for these basic questions.
I have read the FAQs and searched through the forum, and it's a bit messy hence this thread.
First of all I want to have the security to be able to revert to the stock ROM in case something goes wrong.
1) I do not find any SWE-rom in the collection thread though. My question is, can I (or someone help me to) dump my 1.43 SWE rom?
Edit: Just found this link by chance in duttys signature:http://rapidshare.com/users/258XUJ
And the swedish rom is included here. I wonder why this is not included in the sticky thread (..........)
2) If I flash to a custom ROM with SSPL, can I flash a stock ROM back with SSPL or do I really need to go through all the hassle with the gold card etc? Is there no easy way to flash an official ROM?
3) If I use HSPL to upgrade my bootloader, my warranty will be affected if I'm not mistaken. Could HTC (or whoever who performs service) deny my phone because I've used HSPL from here? If so, is there any way to revert to the state before using the HSPL, that is to say load the previous stock bootloader?
Once again, if you find this thread unnecessary please just ignore it and let it die or delete it.
I did some searching and still had these questions left, and I'm in the middle of studying for an upcoming exam while my HD2 is pissing me off since my last (and first) hard reset (the WiFi is really bugging out).
So I hope this will save me some time (and maybe other newbies)
I'm not sure if there's a way to actually back it up, but u should be able to get the official one off the htc support website. htc.com/support
using sspl is only for custom roms, but hard spl is now available. it let's you flash anything.g..custom or official.
Thx for the reply,
The swedish rom is not available there unfortunately. Hence my problem.
Regarding the HSPL, I have another question:
3) If I use HSPL to upgrade my bootloader, my warranty will be affected if I'm not mistaken. Could HTC (or whoever who performs service) deny my phone because I've used HSPL from here? If so, is there any way to revert to the state before using the HSPL, that is to say load the previous stock bootloader?
I'm not really sure about hard spl yet..I've not had a chance to read about it..or needed it.
i think you can revert to original spl by using goldcard method...and with this, your warranty still intact... but just read about it in sticky to be sure.

You don't mean reverting SPL but flashing official ROMs right?
I did not read anything about the goldcard changing SPL?
Now that question 1 & 2 have been answered only question 3 is left.
A way to revert the SPL in case something happens and I have to send it for repair.
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL 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.

you're right...it is flashing original rom...but that removes hspl.
i think you should just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433cuz i haven't...and don't think I'm qualified to give advice..

I see, that one I had missed. So it should be realitvely easy to restore both the SPL (by following the steps you quoted, no gold card needed) and the stock rom if one has HSPL, as long as one has the stock ROM (which I'm downloading atm )
In that case this is great news, I'll be ready to start flashing in no time
I dont get it. I downloaded the stock ROM from the link provided above, it is an exe-file. Just like an official rom release from HTC.
Does this mean that I can install a custom ROM with SSPL and revert to the stock ROM simply by running the exe-file while the phone is in ActiveSync, without any need of using goldcard/HSPL?

You need to extract the exe to get the nbh-file that you use to flash with SSPL. Just right klick and extract it, put nbh ans SSPL in a folder and run SSPL. Simple as that
Thanks alot for the help. I am ready to flash away
Confused....
Rather than creating a new thread I thought I'd post in here about a rom dump - and the troubles I'm having. (hope that's ok)
I'm trying to dump my official stock HD2 rom but something's not going right.....
I want to do this to have a backup before I start flashing custom roms and to also share it as I noticed it is not on the list in the sticky thread.
I'm using "dump my phone" which I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509708
Everything seems to run ok, but when I run the final part I get the following errors:
CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x520000, Part01.raw)
ERROR: ITReadDisk: outbuf==NULL
- The device is not ready for use
CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0xdd80000, Part02.raw)
ERROR: ITReadDisk: outbuf==NULL
- The device is not ready for use
I found another site with details on how to backup the stock rom:
http://www.planete-htc.com/index.php?mod=forum&ac=voir&ref=30&cat=282&id=22438&debut=0
(It's in french but I could understand most of it) but I continue to get the exact same error as before.
I've tried on 2 different computers (XP & vista) but no joy. Can anyone please provide some advice on what could be causing the problem?
I'd really love to be able to backup this rom.
Thanks.

Hi, I successfully dumped my raw rom using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
process.
the thread reffers to the raphael, so the numbers that are generated during the process (the coloured ones) are different, but take it slow, its an easy step by step.
Once the raw files are dumped, you will, then need to figure out how to rebuild them, but i 'think' kitchens can be used for that.
Why don't you guys just download the officially released stock ROM? In my case there was none to download (or so I thought) hence I started the thread. Later on I found link to the official ROM so I started flashing immediately =P

hehe, and thats why i never got around to figuring out the converting of teh raw dumps, I found my stock rom.

I'm still interested personally in converting the raw dump to a .nbh installable via hspl.

Go have a read of the thread i linked above, as i said, I dumped the raw files easy enough, and the rest of the process of reconstructing should be the same, although of course you will have to use leo source files and what not.

Thanks for the help......the methods in that thread are very similar to the ones I've already tried. I have everything copied correctly to my device, found my address codes, but whenever I run this line:
“pdocread -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw”
I get the same error as I mentioned previously - the device is not ready.
I've tried enabling/disabling faster activesync connection but still the error occurs.

If I could find this exact version I would've done that by now, but I can't find it anywhere ROM version - 1.48.421.2 WWE
Hmm, three things to check,
1, the number 0x31f000 are you sure thats the right one, give as teh output of the "procread.exe -l" command? (Just checking you arent just copy/pasting teh thread commands)
2, are you using am external usb slot? i've found hspl doesn't instal over my usb slot in eth case of my machine, but does when i plug it into one of the slots directly on the motherboard, , maybe this is teh same?
3, is itsutils.dll running? is there a popup on your mobile with 'allow this program?' or something similar?
1 - I just copied/pasted what was in the thread, but I just ran the pdocread.exe again and it is the same address.
2 - I'm using a laptop but I've never had any connection issues with it previously.
3 - Not sure if that process is running. Nothing appears on the phone to confirm it.
Here's a really stupid question but am I meant to be doing this after I install HSPL? I haven't done that yet as I thought I could backup the rom beforehand.....

No, no need for hspl here.
OK, you changed the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies setting, you soft reset. (Power propperly off and back on), you copied over itsutils.dll and moved it to /windows.
Next step is opening command prompt, did you open it as administrator?
oh wait, in your command
“pdocread -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw”
are you sure it is DSK1:?
Cos im failry sure mine came out at DSK7 or something, pretty sure it wasn't 1...

★I Appreciate Comments, So If This Thread Helped You At All, Or If You Have Some Constructive Criticism, Then Post A Reply Letting Me Know★
★Hopefully this compilation of videos
I've been working on for the last week
or so should help you in any of your
queries about using HardSPL. Its designed
for complete noobies which dont know the
first thing about flashing.★
★Once you've watched a few, you will begin to
learn the different acronyms and be able to
recognize certain words and phrases in the
flashing process, but for now, heres a short
word list to get you started.★
★[Word List]★
LEOIMG.nbh/ruu_signed.nbh/[Randomname.nbh] - These are all the actual roms, the things you need to flash, usually they are called one of the first two names, but some rom chefs give their own names to the roms, but you can always distiguish which file you need as it will always be a "nbh" file and will always be the largest file in the archive/folder
SPL - Secondary Program Loader: Loads the actual OS. (The SPL is what lets you flash the different aspects of your device, however the stock SPL is 'CID Locked' which means only official releases from HTC can be installed.
HSPL - A 'custom' SPL created by the dark forces team (bepe and cotulla), this is CID Unlocked and it lets you install custom roms and flash any radio. The reason it is called 'Hard' is because it stays on your device after a flash, unlike 'Soft' SPL which is removed after a flash.
RUU - The official 'Rom Update Utility' from HTC which is used to do all your flashing from your pc, its essentialy a nice user interface for the SPL
CustomRUU - The custom Rom Update Utility from the dark forces team which is designed to be used with the HSPL
ROM - An operating system build from HTC, updated to bring you the newest functions and fixes
Custom/Cooked ROM - An operating system build built on a stock rom, these are created by 'Chefs or Cooks' who use 'Kitchens' to design their own roms to release to the community, these are usually alot better than stock roms and contain lots of custom tweaks from others in the xda community.
[More knowleadgable members please correct me on things I may have got wrong/ used the wrong termonoligy]
[Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage that may be caused to your device, and be warned flashing HardSPL WILL void the warranty on your device, however it can be removed, thus unvoiding it]
Ok onto the videos!
[Note/Update: In one or more of my videos I say that this will not work locked phones (as in, bought in a contract) this is wrong, HSPL does allow you to flash new roms on to contract phones (for example: flash a custom rom onto a tmobile phone) However it will not unlock the deivce]

Top Tips, Useful Things & F.A.Q's!
For The REALLY Lazy Man - A Folder Which Already Contains The CustomRUU,
Just Drag And Drop Your Rom File (.nbh) In Here And Run The CustomRUU! **Download** (Extract The Folder From The Zip File)
Making any changes to your phone using HSPL WILL void your warranty, and even if you remove HSPL and, for example, you have a custom rom still on your phone, your warranty will be void. However you can revert anything you do with HSPL thus getting back your warranty, I will make sure each method is on this thread, just make sure to revert everything changed with HSPL before you remove it.
Can I flash backwards? as in - From 1.61 to 1.48. Yes you can, you can flash any rom to any other rom with HSPL (thanks mskip for filling me in )
Always back up your phone. I recomend SPB Backup, it can backup not only contacts, but your whole system (programs, reg tweaks ect) however you may encounter problems if you try to restore everything, because the backup may have been made on a different version of manila/windows mobile
Hard resetting after a flash is usually recomended, it will optimize the rom
Always bare in mind the 2 main different manila versions (2.5.XXXX), 1921 and 1922. 1921 is the older one and so has more mods and tweaks designed specifically for it. 1922 is the newest and not yet totally stable version which doesnt support much yet, (however patchs and updates are starting to surface such as one for HDWall and 25 Shortcuts
If you are getting good signal ect with your current rom, make sure you take note of the radio version, it may be a good idea to back your old radio after flashing a rom if signal is not as good
Usually you will not have to reapply HTC hotfixes as most cooked roms include them in the package, however make sure there arent any recent updates which may not have been cooked in.
Side Note: All camera tweaks from xda users are usually pre cooked in aswell. (Talk about instant meals!)

Hi,
Nice work, but i dont agree with this video.
you DO NOT have to format the SD card every time you flash.
you just copy it over and and start the flash!
Nice vids though, just abit misleading! and to be honest takes a long time, I have 4Gb of data on an 8Gb card, for me to copy it off, format, flash and copy it back would take the best part of 90 mins!!

Well done for putting these videos up. Should help a few people to better visualise what they need to do.
@ Silicon Squirrel,
You may be right re your point on formatting but I see it as good practice as it forces people to double check that the card is formatted in FAT 32 (a common problem).

Ok, but once you have done in once you dont need to do it again!! the card doesnt just randomly change file system while in use!!

Dont get me wrong, it was a constructive criticism.
maybe you could note the fact that they only need to do it once, the first time, to make sure the file system is FAT32. then they would save much time in the future!
Also i wasnt saying the format would be long, i was meaning the copying on and off that is a ball ache!!

Good vids and just to echo an above post that seeing it being done makes it so very simple and thanks very much, it certainly helps new people like myself get to grips quickly.
I'd just add in a couple of vids you might want to add a bubble of 'connect via active sync'
About the format thing, meh!.. you get a 2gig card with the phone which is useless really except for rom stuff and the like. I wouldn't bother moving stuff around, just swap the card over.
cheers!

Thanks man
after waiting for a while to see if windows 7 would be released publicly for this phone, and after finish paying off the phone i have decided to just say "Screw you microsoft" and go with an android build, but i have NO idea where to start with this.
The basics of my knowledge of cell phones is that i have put cookies home tab editor, and a few extra things on my phone, i have backed up my phone a couple of times, and i even done the official t-mobile upgrade for my phone, i know a decent amount about computers in general, but haven't had the chance to play around with my phone and it's OS like i have with a computer, being that my phone is very important to me because of my work, and that i don't have a house phone, only my cell phone.
So, could someone at least direct me to all of the forums with the best downloads for the andriod OS, and extras that i will need to get android working on my HD2?
and am i able to run cookies home tab on my HD2 even if it has android OS?

Don't quote me on this, but from what I've heard HSPL2/3 indeed are not required, but if you somehow screw up your phone without them, you're basically ****ed. HSPL2/3 should always (well, most of the time) be able to revert you back to stock.

You don't need to upgrade HSPL at all. What you must have (100% MUST!!) is a radio version 2.08 or later (2.x.50 versions, NOT 2.x.51 versions).
Until the recent release of the official 3.14 ROM there was no other way to upgrade the radio to the minimum required other than custom flashing, which requires a HSPL upgrade. (Not 100% sure that 3.14 was the first, but I believe it was).
Either way, it's the radio that's crucial to Android - not HSPL.
(I ain't no Android chef or dev - this is just gleaned from what I've read on this forum, so may not be 100% accurate, but it's never failed for me.)
ok, mine Radiois 2.15.50.14, so that means i don`t need to update radio, rom is 3.14.479.2(wwe) it`s stock one...
I have another question then: after installing android on sd card, is there any changes made to stock wm rom or else? or it`s just installing android on sd, and after formating sd card everything will be stock? thnx...

Nothing else to do - just copy the android folder to your card and then run the 2 apps (clrcad & haret). Personally, I use a bootloader that runs with Windows, so when I reboot my phone I get the option to run Android or "run" Windows. (Windows is obviously already running at that point. It just closes the app if you select Windows.)
You don't need to format your card to go back to your current config. Just reboot your phone and don't run Android.

Thank you, now it`s easier to understand everything, i just thought that clrcad & haret, is needed to run only on first use, and it makes some changes to stock config of hd2. sorry if i misunderstood smthng, i`m new to android on hd2.

No worries mate - glad to help. Hope you get it running - Android's sweet
rather than start a new thread, i have a supplementary question.
It's hard to search for this question, so apologies if it's been covered.
Is it better to run a stripped down custom WM ROM to boot android? or will a stock WM ROM (with the correct radio etc.) run Android just as good?
Does it make a difference?
(I just got a stock HD2 with 3.14 ROM and 2.08.50... radio...)

Fix mini FC issues/wifi not workingStuck at android screen or cm7 loading screen? try this:
At clockworkmod (option 8) wipe cache, factory reset, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik chache and battery stats, if it doesnt work, try to reinstall everything. (sometimes, just reinstalling the rom works) + MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT CLOCKWORKMOD, IF NOT YOU HD2 WILL BE STUCK AT ANDROID SCREEN,,,,,,, if you dont have the right radio, it will be stuck at htc screen.
If you get : nand kernel open failed, make sure you are trying to install a MAGLDR rom and not a CLK ROM
If your wifi is not working, do a task29, then wipe cache/data/dalvik cache from cwm. Then reinstall the rom.
to fix wifi issue, try wiping cache and dalvik cache, flash the kernel and fix permissions. You can also try to replace the wpa_suppliciant from your rom.

Fix robotic voice issue:1. First solution, disable “Audible touch tones” from the “Sound Settings” menu(just uncheck the box) and reboot your phone. (Note: Disable it right after you flash a new ROM and reboot, that way your phone system will remember it.) So, no more Robo Voice for you.
2. Second solution, while you experienced the Robotic-Voice call, enable the loud speaker, and disable it. You will have no more Robotic-Voice until your next boot.

Which Rom are you using?
Flashing different custom ROMs, some of us, sooner or later, are meeting ONE TERRIBLE PROBLEM - device getting bricked... Unfortunately, might happend...
With new developments of feropont we are getting, finally, updated (in the meaning of ballanced and smooth "relationship" between hardware and software) device. He, certanly, done jobs, Toshiba supposed to do before releasing the device.
... And it is real pain - inability to enjoy using such improved device...
As a members of xda-developers community, we become pretty skillsful resolving different problems - we have huge support over here - this is one of the reasons for opening this thread - to get help, and help others. Again - everyone of us can meet the problem.
I am a hard user of Windows Mobile from early years when Dell Axim just came to public. TG01 - my last device, in which I found full functional Pocket PC and pretty developed cell phone - all in one , and with my accurate attitude in using my "toy" I did not expect to fall victim of software glitch... But it happened!
My particular problem is really unusual – I cannot flash ANY custom made ROM (even earliest – see pere’s ROM table), But I am ABLE to flash any official ROM (!?)
We discussed the problem with feropont, he found it pretty unusual - I am inviting you to open discussion here, in one place, related to most common problems TG01 Users can meet… and hope, I'll find solution for my problem, as well.
Following, I would like to provide with links to previous answers to came across problems – all about TG01. (send me links – you consider helpful – will post them here in a first page).

Hi.
What method of flashing You used to utlize ?
I can confirm only that using 3-pin metods ( as always I say - absolutely do not use this method if You really do not have to. ) should be involved only for official roms . Someone will say not true. I say I had always problems to flash custom roms utilizing this method so always, I repeat always, flash only any official rom this way. Never have had any problems with official roms but always problems with custom roms including "terrible" messages like "NAND flash error". Maybe flashing custom roms this method cause such big problems in the future ? It seems to be service mode not normal flashing mode so who knows what wrong can wait for us if rom is not official.
Anyway utilizing sdll+ software seems to be ok both for official and custom roms.
I have not had any slightest problem with it.
Sometimes people are gilty themselves. Flash strange custem roms with God knows where custom bootloaders and it is enough. For example, Nokser has bricked His tg01 and only JTAG can help him. Too much experiments with unknown matter and disaster is ready. Many people tried His last rom and who knows whether they are next candidactes to have unresolved problems with their tg01s.
Regards
fxdjacentyfxd
Flashing any device always has a risk attached, whether that be a Toshiba TG01 or a pc motherboard bios, still as long as procedures for flashing are followed correctly nobody should have many problems, but obviously bad things can happen, how many motherboards have died on a bios flash for example?
Flashing TG01 is no more risky than flashing other devices, however what you flash it with is the area where risk becomes involved.
I think what is needed is a tool for HTC devices called 'task 29' basically when we flasg custom ROMs over and over again, some roms are bigger than others etc, so they dont overwrite all system files, therefore, old system files from the previous ROM is left in the new ROM. this corrupts the phone, therefore you expeirience bugs. We need a tool like task 29.
but personally i dont/ havent faced any of these problems... *touch wood*
Thank yo guys!
To fxdjacentyfxd - thank you for sharing thougts.
I am exactly an example of "next candidacte" - I always was extremly carefull and used sdll+ only. I even did not know how to use3 pin method (feropont, many thanks him, instructed me).
I guess, (really just guess), my problem came from corrupted .tsw file - you know, we can see full sized file on memory card, when (factually) copying process was interrupted...
This is the riddle - what "changed" in the boot area, that compel my device to accept officials ROMs only (and only through 3 pin method), when customs (through sdll+) stopping it on Toshiba logo...

Accordingly to what You wrote about corrupted .tsw file I forgot to mention that after every copy of new .tsw to prg directory on SD card I :
1) always check .tsw file in prg directory via tgtool.exe software
2) from time to time I execute chkdsk utility to check SD card.
Only after point 1) and 2) I start sdll+ uploader.

Reading posts about bricked tg01s I got to conclusion that some bricks were really becuase of corrupted .tsw or logical errors on SD card. So I have always thought it is worthy to waste 1 minute to check .tsw in prg directory than irreversibly bricked tg01.
P.S. Your case is really very, very strange. To "damage" bootloader it accepts only official roms.... I can not belive in it. Must be other explanation.

when we flashed roms so many times,maybe our phone's NAND flash appear some bad blocks.it's really like the problems in HTC phones.
Maybe use Tgdownloader flash an Official rom will helpfull with this problem.
Anyway,when we cook roms,tgtool always check if there's any error in our custom rom,and we just make changes in OS partition,didn't change/edit anything with the Bootloader or Radio.So i must say the most possibility that brickes our phone should be the Flashing Progress.

It is similar I wrote in my first post. Typically ( I am not going to check more ) I am not able to flash rom via 3-pin method if rom is not official. It seems I have always had this feature. I had maybe free "bricks" since I have tg01 , because of my experiments with drivers and so that to flash any good rom via 3-pin it had to be always official rom ! Fortunately sdl++ works fine for any rom.
Did You flash many custom roms ? Maybe one of them is "this one" and it is worthy to find out which it is.
On the other hand as I remember tgdownloader has feature to upload different areas of the rom separately ( boot area too ).
Maybe someone brave could upload this method boot area ? If it works You could upload Your boot area too.
I know, it is hardcore

yes, as no tool exist, the best method for us is for every ROM flash:
1) Hard Reset Current ROM
2) Flash Stock ROM
3) Hard Reset Stock ROM
4) Flash New ROM
5) Hard Reset
You could even go as far as Reflashing the same ROM over the same ROM again to eliminate further errors.
This is the recommended precedure to follow, however I usaully miss out steps 1,2,3.

...So true.
By explanation of feropont official ROM supposed to "zap" like kind of bad blocs in a flash memory (if any exist...), but, as we can see on my example Toshiba is "writing" every thing above of exist information without "cleaning" inside flash like task29 HTC is doing... He also mentioned that problems, mostly, becoming not in a boot area, but later, on the level of (qoute) "kernel initialization, xip..." - I am not prepared enough technically to discuss this llevel, but it is seems for me like I will stay with Malaysian ROM for ever...

The main trouble is that the TG01 really does not make a general cleaning of flash Task 29 by analogy HTC devices. Judging from the descriptions of problems, bootloader is absolutely not damaged, it allows you to upload the whole flash ROM is not just any official ROM. The problems begin during kernel initialization XIP at the first boot device on any custom ROM. Every chef in the community TG01 anyway does not collect the full XIP, all cut-ins debuggers and encryption (kd.dll hd.dll mencfilt and etc). Unfortunately I have no time but first and foremost I would like to cook a custom ROM with the full original XIP, that would finally remove the issues in which there were bad blocks of flash in the kernel XIP or OS.nb.
Thx

Very interesting. You mean that if I cook my rom not removing any .dll from original XIP I will have more "safe" rom. Have any of mentioned dll's like for debug any influence on rom speed ( can be switched on-off after flashing ) ?
Bootloder part seems to be possible be overwritten too in some cases. Example, Noksers works.

Bootloder part seems to be possible be overwritten too in some cases. Example, Noksers works.

Unfortunately I can disappoint you, this is not an example of a new bootloader, and the result work of a new OEM, in particular, changed the entrance to the bootloader. Bootloader by definition can not be in OS.nb, he placed in the common part of the file .TSW who all mistakenly called RADIO, and if elementary compared Hex, the differences are almost no. Located in the very first sectors and is called MIBIB_BOOT.
Code:
*** MIBIB_BOOT Region Info ***
Region 0: "MIBI " start: 0 size: 80 r-size: 32 Ver: 0x0000 SubVer: 0x0000
Region 1: "SIM_ " start: 80 size: 48 r-size: 0 Ver: 0x0000 SubVer: 0x0000
Region 2: "FSBL " start: 128 size: 32 r-size: 24 Ver: 0x0000 SubVer: 0x0000
Region 3: "OSBL " start: 160 size: 32 r-size: 24 Ver: 0x0000 SubVer: 0x0000
Thx

I have always thought , this device starts as typical ( known from microprocessors equpipped with boot section ) always from bootloader part but other circumstances decides whether after power up bootloder:
1) boot the system and "jump" to it
2) do other action like flash upload - check 3-pin condition or condition forced by sdll+ software
That is why I do not understand why Nokser can have completely dead device and not damaged bootloader.

Since moving to Android I noticed most roms come with an md5 to check against the downloaded copy before flashing, just in case there is any corruption. Maybe a good idea to take a similar approach with tg01 roms.
I don't own my th anymore but flashed it in excess of 100 times using both sddl+ and 3 pins and never had any problems.
