Hi,
i want to update my polaris to the newest radio rom, since the currently installed rom is very slow finding sattelites in any gps-app.
the phone still runs the original HTC WM6 Rom (1.25.407.1 GER).
my question is, if i can just update the radio rom without losing data or settings on my phone and if the new radio works with the old WM6?
If you will use this your datas will be in safe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376119
All of the radios work with wm6 but you should try which one is the best for you.
thanks for the help, but i just tried to install hard-spl with the custumRUU and it didn´t work. the statusbar showed up but stayed at 0% for a few minutes, then the update-app stopped with error 262. i removed the battery, put it back in, switched on the phone and it luckily works, but still with the old bootloader.
any idea what could have gone wrong?
No hard-spl no flashing
Hey timmey!
You cant flash any ROM or Radio-ROM without hard-spl.
Pls try the search and you will find a very good howto.
If you have any questions kontact me (Im german too)...
So far

Check my sign
i have followed the hardspl how to guide from your newbie-thead using the custumRUU, but still get the 262 error.
i just tried it again and noticed, that i never get the message to replug my usb cable. i see the three colored screen for a short while and then the grey one with the statusbar stuck at 0%. my active sync connection works perfectly and i have disabled my firewall and virus-scanner. i have searched the forum on error 262, but everything i found was related to a false active sync connection, but like i said mine is fully functional.
any tip on what i could search for to solve my problem?

hm, thought it would work since udk said so in the customRUU thread. nevermind, when i use the installer that comes with hard-spl, will i lose any data on my phone, or will it just update the bootloader without hardreseting my device?

Flashing hard-spl will NOT HR your device.

I just got a Qtek 9100 from a friend.. He said it was an old test version of the device...
I only got the device and the charger.. Now, when i plug it into my PC, it can't recognize the device.. and the firmware is from 08/2005... so I kinda feel obligated to update them..
1. Is there some place where I could retrive some drivers or something for my computer to recognize my device?
2. I checked out the thread to see wether it's Q3 or Q4.. but my IPL is 0.34 and my SPL is also 0.34 (that's it!).. so i have no idea what upgrades to use.
3. Also the keyboard (I'm not talking about the on-screen keyboard.. I mean the one that you pull out..) on the device is swedish (scandinavian) but when i try pressing the button that says like Ä it acts as an english keyboard and a "/" appears... I'm swedish so i'd love if i could get some help fixing that
Thx~ kryX
Since you own the QTEK now you can sign up at the QTEK's homepage and download the latest ROM update for your device (even in swedish) http://www.myqtek.com/
The connection problem might be another one: maybe your friend installed a USER CREATED ROM - you still should be able to enter the boatloader mode!
There are plenty of threads in here about connection problems but finally it depends on your OS and the ROM version used! If you're running VISTA then you can forget flashing your device for the time being ... !
Go to wiki.xda-developers.com and studdy the WIZARD UPGRADE and UNLOCK section. This should get you started!

it won't accept my IMEI #... :/ and i'm using windows XP... it connects fine, just can't "get installed".. it appears on the screen that a new device has been found.. but it can't install it..
you mean to say that you can upgrade to a ROM that's in swedish even though you have a EN device?

you need to install Microsoft 'active sync' to get your ppc and pc communicating.
I just like to warn you to make BACKUP of your phone's firmware in case things go wrong. Don't become another 'cry baby' asking for 'urgent help' because the phone got bricked...
Do a search around to see what you need to make a backup and if your phone allows a full backup (must be CID unlocked)
good luck and welcome to forum
cheers

mestrini: thanks for the tip, backed it all up, and unlocked SIM and CID locks..now the big question is, is it a Q3 or a Q4??
EDIT: also, WHERE can i get the latest firmware? all the ftp's i've seen linked are down? :/
Take a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions - to find out whether it is g3 or g4. then i suggest you start with a vanilla rom, Win 6 Pro 3.0 seems to be good now.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309078. the download link for that is there along with the password

also, start out at the Wizard Wiki, it gives all of the information that you will need to know, and the rest are at the top of the forums with a "sticky" on them

I flashed it with that Win 6 pro thing.. (it was an OS ROM, right?) and now it doesn't boot anymore.. now my bootscreen shows
Wizard DVT
IPL 0.34
SPL 0.34
OS 4.0.0.0
it stays like that for quite a while then the screen goes white and it starts all over again.. should i just assume i flashed it incorrectly? because i dont know if that was a G3 flash or a G4 flash or what ever..
EDIT: wait.. third time the screen went white the bootscreen changed to the new one.. it kinda seems to have started now.. GREAT
You guys must be careful with the new WM6 ROMs since they are packed without IPL/SPL so that they can be used by people with CID locked G4 devices.
That means that people with IPL/SPL bellow 2.x must first upgrade the boot loaders to 2.xx/3.xx otherwise the new ROMs will most probably not work
you need an ipl/spl of 2.xx or higher to flash ANY WM6 rom
from the bootloader (hold down camera button while starting), flash the tmobile 2.26 factory rom to get a proper ipl/spl.

EDIT: nvm :/ it seems the phone is dead now.. it was all laggy when i finally got Win pro 6 to work... and it took like 5 whitscreens for it to finally get started... couldnt send any smses or anythin.. so i was gonna try turning it off and on again... when i tried turning it off the loading symbol appeared... and went on for like 10 minutes (at LEAST) so i thought i might aswell get som sleep.. when i woke up the phone was turned off.. and i tried starting it.. it just started for like one whitescreen then it died...
can't "bootloader-boot" it.. no light goes on when i stuck it in the charger or anything.. :/

just reading back, if you didn't know the answer to this question (above), you probably were not cid unlocked.
if the battery is dead (you left it on overnight?) you will need to charge it outside of the ppc, then try to get into bootloader, then flash the original operator's rom.
i wouldn't give up on anything that sells used for over £100 on ebay

no it hasn't, (this is a forum, not a help desk) i was just looking at it and trying to decide what, if anything to write, when my email showed another reply.
to be really honest, any question you can think of will already have been asked and answered several times in this forum - you just need to read (use Google to search this site). And that doesn't even cover the questions which you will want to ask when you begin to realize what your wizard is capable of
Swedish roms? - absolutely no idea. and so many people here are English speakers and i assume many non English/non Americans use an English language rom anyway
active sync? - try uninstalling and reinstalling, check the options, do they allow usb connections? i find AS sometimes changes options itself

Allright so i've come to realize i don't need a swedish ROM.. i just need to fix the hardware keyboard to act like a scandinavian one...
And it isn't AS that gives me trouble really.. the problem appears before activesync.. a USB icon appears and says it cannot recognize a device.. and when i click it i get a list of my USB devices and the one that has errors is written in bold... it sayd "Okänd enhet" (Unknown device).. and i can't seem to install the wizards drivers manually when i get that option.. cause i have no idea where to find them... :/

active sync is what should recognize your wizard. if your pc doesn't recognize your ppc, the only reason that I know of is because active sync is not installed or not working - have you uninstalled and reinstalled?
Hi all
I have installed Dutty's ROM, and sometimes its unresponsive, when i click on the screen. So I wish to flash the ROM again and install the Windows Mobile 6.5. However, I cannot connect my device through USB, its not even detecting it.

What have you tried? Have you pulled your USB out of Phone and PC?
Have you soft reset your phone?
Put a bit more detail and we can help
ok so first i used the Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex with ActiveSync and that worked fine. Then I moved the BLACIMG.nbh into the BlackstoneRUUWrapper to install the new ROM, and that worked fine too, 100%. Then I removed the USB cable and restarted the device. Now I am noticing that the device is working properly for maybe 10 secs, but then it freezez, and I have to resett it

Usually after a flash its recommended to Hard reset atleast 2 times did you do that?
Did you follow crackwhores instructions completely?
When I have flashed I wait till the finish screen on pc shows the phone should shut down and restart itself thats when i disconnect USB
when phone shows welcome screen i pull battery out and hard reset
oh so when everything is finished, and there is the FINISH screen on the PC, you should take the battery out and hard reset! Did not do this. New to all this. Managed to connect my device again by USB, and putting Miri's WM 6.5. Will hard reset after that

Hi Ozmoran
I still have problems with my device, first it works for a number of minutes, then freezes, then after around 5 minutes comes back to normal. And secondly, cannot get my reception to work, ie cannot receive calls and messages at the moment. Its asking me, "Do you want to turn the phone on?" and when i click on yes, nothing happens.
This is the exact procedure I am following:-
1) Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex. After 100%, I click on Finish on the PC, and remove USB cable. I remove the battery off and on again and I hard reset (from the small button on the back right?)
2) I do the same procedure for BLACIMG.nbh and that works fine too, 100% finished.
After this, first I notice that the colours are not vivid colours, but like an old PC colours, so i turn off and on the device (from the button at the top). Then after loading, its asking me to click on the "+" to align the screen, which I do, follow the next screen, and the ROM is working.
However as I said, sometimes its unresponsive, and cannot get reception from my mobile provider.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help, I am a complete newbie
ok found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
will follow it this eve and see what happens
Reason you are experiencing this discolourization and not reception/signal is due to you most likely not following flashing procedure properly and possibly using wrong HSPL before flashing rom.
You need to use HSPL 1.56 to flash a 1.56+ based rom. Any previous version you need to use 1.14 HSPL.
I notice you have already found cRaCKwHoRe's guide. If you follow it, you will be fine. If you get stuck, just post a query inhis thread and someone will help you!!
great
i downloaded everything from that post and will do it this evening since the phone is at home.
Hopefully I can use my phone again very soon
If you also read this section in the wiki, it refers to your greenish discolourization as well and offers assistance. Though if you follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide you'll be fine
thanks guys
any preference on any particular ROMS that are popular?
I was going to try Miri's WM6.5

Good rom to start with if you want wm6.5, would also try EnergyROM HD by NRGZ28. Both excellent roms. As for wm6.1, IMHO Duttys is the best.
For you, I would try each and make your own opinion
Thanks
Will try Miri than and see how it goes
Last question (hopefully), once I will install the Hard SPL, there is no need to install it again if I want to flash the ROM again right? Just install the ROM i want

Yes, once you install HSPL its permanent and you have no need to re-install it. You can restore default SPL at a later stage if you want.
USPL is temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash to new radio or rom
If I were you, I'd read up on both USPL & HSPL in the wiki for a better understanding before you jump in head first!!
yeah i will read more about it, just wanted to experiment.
Thanks for all your help!
Hey guys
managed to do it! Flashed the ROM and working perfectly now!

Hi all
OK, my screen alignment on HD is so messed up i went to downgrade my HD HTC (1.56 Olinex -W6.5Miri) back to its original Orange SPL and OS so i can send it back to HTC under warranty.
Foolishly I changed the HSPL first to original stock so it is now a SPL 1.14.000 (no olinex or anything) in bootloader.
I went to then flash ROM to latest Orange HTC OS release from xda (compatible with that SPL) and just got the 262 error.
So, I have a big problem...
1. I cannot flash any ROM from bootloader - error 262 problem - hangs on 0%
2. I cannot cook a new HSPL in any way - error 262 problem
3. Ive got green screen and cannot in anyway load SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and then run it (which normally fixes the 262 error)
4. Ive got green screen so my phone doesnt work
5. tried hard reset - now hangs on loading new OS in green screen
Is it bricked? Is there any software I can use to force reload of HSPL? is there anything i can do in green screen? I figure my aim is to get the phone back to 1.56 and start over again. FYI am using W7 on pc but uploaded new drivers etc.
Very curious to see if folk out there have any ideas...
Cheers in advance

I realise you must deal with a lot of panic "BRICKS!" Not one to flap but exhausted all my knowledge. And as usual the solution was a simple one and not desperately technical.
FYI: The ROMs didnt work but went to actual Orange site and downloaded their exe file ROM and it went straight as if a normal upgrade.

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.
The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.
same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...
Same problem but i have hspl?
not sure what im doing wrong here I've installed hspl 1.42 which was enough trouble for what seemed like a pretty straight forward job. now whatever i try to install all i get is error 260? on top of this i don't seem to be able to send message tho i can receive and the camera on my phone no longer seems to work?
i am a newbie but Ive been reading and clicking and trying to install stuff for hours and hours and so far all Ive managed to do is install hspl and reduce my phones usability.
i got windows mobile device center 6.1 tried it with and without allow usb connections.
my antivirus and firewall is off.
.net framework 4 installed.
tried different usb ports
ive tried installing Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.23569.5.5.0_2.14_Holy_Grail_576MB_V4.3_WWE and a stock rom
my computer has vista 64 on it.
im hoping im just being a bit dense here please help me i just wanna join in on all this flashing fun!!

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine
error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.
Error 260, T-mobile HD2
Error 260 during ROM update
I had the same problem and tried everything (?)
Finally I got it work.
After I started the update the first time, I got the message, driver was not installed successfuly ...blabla
I ignored the message, tried and the connection disconnected every time again.
At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).

Put the phone into BootLoader Mode then connect to the PC. Run the ROM.

First time flashing the radio and kept getting error 260 from CustomRUU.
Read so many threads and all say sync the phone with your PC and run CustomRUU. Nobody said to run it under BootLoader Mode.
This simple note helped a lot for a newbie like me.... thanks
Error [260]
Hello
I want to try to update my HD2 from 2.2 to 2.3.x but I always geht thr Connection error.
I´ve flashed my HD2 from Windows Mobile 6 to Android.
I thank you for your help.
Hey all,
Maybe someone can help me out.
Two weeks ago i installed andoid on my HTC HD2.
I used HPSL, radio 2.15.50.14, MAGLDR112 and NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.1_NAND. A few days ago, without any reason i got a white bootscreen and i still have it
What a did so far:
* New HSPL3, but the radio didn't connected anymore, error 270.
* A new MAGLDR, i reached 100% in a blink, but then an error 270.
* Using a SD with the original leoimg, i get a (00018003 radio fail) error after a few % and the update failed.
* task29, but again no connection. (after 5 min error 262)
* new USB drivers installed for windows 7 and i also tried it on an windows Xp computer.
So far i only reached my 4 colored screen with:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
* The original rom was RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Last question, how can i check that the batttery is stil oke for flashing.
Anyone who has a clue what to do?
Thanks in advance.
greetz!

Mate, I think you´ve done everything. HSPL and Radio ROM versions correct etc.
Since I see more and more people reporting similar problems like you, I get the feeling that some Android builds might have some strange effects on Radio ROMs.
There are too many people with SPL and Radio ROM problems, eg. stuck in bootloader or at the white startup screen.
This didn´t happen at this pace before Android NAND.
Only 1 question though:
Did you try to flash the original ROM using RUU.exe, SSPL or LeuCustomRUU via USB, without having the SIM and the SD card inserted? In rare cases, either one or both were trouble makers...
EDIT: Second question:
What kind of SD card did you try? Bigger cards seem more problematic, too.
I used a 2 gb micro SD card to go back to the original Rom.
I didn't tried to go back to original ROM using USB, because of the connecting problems. So that i'm gonna do now. Any suggestions which to use best?
After your post i tried to the flash with (and without) the formatted sd and the simcard, unfortunatelly i didn't work.
For last your question i can say that connect your phone to PC when it is off. Then keep down "volume down" button and switch on your phone. You get 4 colored screen. On bottom you can see USB word. Let phone for minimum 1h. And you get more 50% charged battery.
After hour you can flash back to original rom or to MAGLDR and forward normally flash android nand. You dont need disconnect or switch off before flash your phone.
Hope helps.
@tictac0566
Thanks for the options!
I tried the options mentioned in question 1, the problem is the connection USB/Radio. SSPL seems to work, but after 1% again connection error.
After a few test it must be the radio.
I tried to flash only a new radio using LEOIMG, after 99% i get the same error as LEOIMG an original Rom (00018003 radio fail)
With HPSL3_PKG i also can't go back to SPL 2.08.000.
So the problem must be there.
Anyone has an idea?? Can i use another radio? If yes, than which?
Thanks!
Still no solution
Tried many things, still the radio is not working.
It could be also HPSL3, because i can't go back to spl 2.08 (or any other (h)spl with the app.
Anyone has an idea??
Just trying to help here, but have you tried doing everything from the start?
task29 and everything else?
Hey i seem to have the same problem as you except my white screen wasnt after a flash, it just randomly went white one day and wouldnt boot.
I have tried MTTY, i can connect via usb but after formatting via MTTY and then attempting to flash a new rom (ship and custom) it just stays on 0% and doesnt do anything else.
Sorry to hijack thread just thought whilst people are looking they can help me too

Can you go into bootloader? If you can then your problem can be solved. The problem you are having might have been because you unintentionaly installed or uninstalled a programm and that corrupted your rom.
To both of you. Try to flash using the leoimg.nbh step. If it doesn't work then the rom you used is not compactible with your device, try another till you find one that will work with your device. I know it is tiring to do something like that, here a tip from me, the rom you are expected to use in this process must be in the native language of your phone or else it will not work. You can't just use any stockrom to do it. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice, but all the roms i tried i got a radio fail during flashing with leoimg.nbbh.
Maybe your HSPL is faulty ? Did you try to re-HSPL your device using HSPL.exe ?

Yes i tried, but mine HD2 stays on SPL-2.08 HPSL.
I used HSPL3_PKG and HSPL2 in different but still SPL-2.08 HSPL.
Maybe there's where my problems are, but i als can be an corrupt radio.
Anyone an other way to back to SPL 2.08.000 or how to fix the radio?
Then your best bet is to flash with a goldcard

Yes i can get into bootloader. I have tried using MTTY task 29 to format the device then i searched on the HTC site for a compatible ROM. Turns out the only one that doesnt give a negative response when i type in my serial number is the ROM from Taiwan. Tried flashing that using the SD card method and the USB method. Sd card method hangs at 0% and i get a connection error in USB method. I have also tried the latest ROM from Dutty.
If a ROM is not compatible how do you know? Does it hang at 0% or does it finish loading and then wont boot from there.
I have even tried flashing just a radio with the same results.

Yes i tried all different types of HSPL and even SSPL. From the bootloader screen i run the .exe from the computer and it goes through and says 'operation finished successfully'
But when i get back to the bootloader it still says the same HSPL, which is 1.66
Also to note when i power on the device i can hear a small 'click' from it. Could be much worse and be a hardware problem?
Still no solution.
Oke guys, thanks for answering my threat so far!
Still trying to get my HTC back to life.
Is it possible that my problem is in HSPL? (see attachments)
After the white screen i tried to reinstall HPSL 2, 3 and 1, but during the instal my HTC reboot (without the signal "We Hacked It"
I also tried different SD card for LEOIMG, still radio fail 00018003.
One thing i didn't tried is using a goldcard, i downloaded the app but i need a working HTC HD2 to make the card.
Anyone?
No you don't, there you go :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874304
Goldcard is the old method to install a custom rom way before HSPL became popular
so if HSPL don't work then Goldcard wont as well but hey you can still try
I think its more of a hardware problem now since all attempts for software repair is not successful. I had the same situation as yours, white screen then radio fail, tried all solutions but still no luck
sameeeeee
i have the same problem 100%
i already try all these solution and no one is worked
however, some one told me that maybe the problem with the Flash memory of my HD2 because he already try to solve / or already solve such problem "but unfortunately he lost the tools he was used"
this tools is can check the memory and told which memory chunk is corrupted
please if any one know this tools or had it please posted it on.....
That app should be Task 29.
