I recently upgrade to the new rom.. was wondering if anybody has just a rom to upgrade to 6.1 and not have to go with the cooked rom.... i don't really want to deal with the unlocking and locking and what not on my phone am pretty happy with it just want to have windows 6.1....any suggestions?
What? You know WinMo6.1 is leaked, right?
You know that no provider is give out WinMo6.1
yet, right?
This mean, no way to get WinMo6.1 from provider.
So you must use a cooked ROM.
nobody can take it out of like the dcd rom and have it be like a cab?
buy a handset that has 6.1 from the provider, i think the att tilt might?
You can't CAB the OS!!
The OS is built as XIP - Execute in Place.... it runs from where it is permanently stored... If you want to install an OS it must be XIP for WinMo.....
So if you want to install OS you have to BUILD the ROM.
Why you so aversion to use whole ROM? It's just like OEM but better... there is no problem, just install it and see.
well is it just a install thing like the official rom or do you have to do the whole unlocking or locking..thing i dont wanna go through all that hastle..but if its just a one file one click thing i'd be more than happy to give the dcd a shot
Its not like other cell phone unlock. Unlock work is not scary word in PDA. It just mean... make it so your phone accept other update from non official source.
You just need SPL to do that.
It's rediculously easy. I had some issues, but it was because I was originally using the wrong file. Once a kind soul on this forum guided me to the right file, it worked like a charm!
1) Activesync your phone to your PC
2) Run titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
a) Follow the promts and it should bring you to a multicoloured bootloader screen
b) Disconnect and re-connect your USB adapter just like it tells you
c) Once it's done, if you're not at the bootloader screen again - Press and hold Power + Camera + push reset. This should bring you to the bootloader again.
3) Run titan_radio_3.27.00.exe
a) Should be relatively the same as above.
4) Run dcd2.3.2-telus.exe (if you're with Telus, otherwise find the one for your provider)
a) Should be same as the last two steps
5) ???
6) Profit
I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).
I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using
Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).
@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!
yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.
the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.
MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...

Did you try the update that I gave you?
i ran it, and it said it was trying to get the settings from the device, then it just disappeared lol. now when i run it, it extracts the install data to the temp folder on my pc, then just disappears
I have an HTC P3600 and I upgraded to WM6.1 succesfully. but I have been trying to upgrade to WM6.5 for over aweek now i have tried everything but its not working.
Each time i connect to a PC i run into problems connecting to activesync on my win XP desktop.
The same thing happens with my 2 Vista laptopsh and when i finaaly get it connected. Each time i try to install WM6.5 by running the RUU, it disconnects after it gets to the point where it says "update".
Can anyone help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Have you got Hard SPL installed? I say this because i went from cooked rom to original and it changed from olipro to official. Also i have been reading that a good way to flash is from memory card.There is a guide somewhere round here.
I have hard SPL installed. Were you able to successfully upgrade yours to WM6.5?
and is it possible to show me how you did it step by step if you can.
i had given up on getting a reply so i decided to stick with the WM6.1 i have, but if you can help me upgrade i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks a zillion
i upgraded mine by flashing the same way as i flashed any other 6.1 or 6.0 ROMs. Maybe you should try another 6.5 ROM and see if that work
Don't want to sound daft, but are you putting it into bootloader first? I did it that way rather than let the computer do it. Also i haven't flashed 6.5 as i am happy with 6.1 at the moment.
Also i have read that flashing with vista requires extra steps.
I Upgraded mine OK.
I couldn't get the flash update to work from Windows 7, but it worked fine when I reverted to running it from Vista. Ran the normal upgrade process from the PC, same as for previous 6.1 upgrades.
can you tell me which 6.5 rom you used, so i can try it probably i'm using the wrong one.
thanks
Just wildguessing, but maybe you could try altering 'enable advanced network functionality' in the 'USB to PC' setting.
BTW I use Chanvi latest 6.5 ROM and it works great. Now I'm waiting for his Utralite version, so I probably get the best ROM to be used with PointUI.
I think p3600 is to slow to wm 6.5
thanks everyone. But after countless unsuccessful tries, i finally deicded to give it up.
So i bought the Touch HD instead. Hopefully it will be easier to upgrade that to WinMo 6.5.
cheers!!!!!
Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum. Just got my HD2 yesterday & immediately set about installing a new ROM. I installed HSPL without any issues, but I'm having problems installing a new ROM. I've downloaded a couple in .exe format, synced up the phone to WMDC in Win 7, then when I start the exe file everythings fine until it starts to install, then the 4 colurs come on to the phone, and then the USB connection drops so WMDC isn't connected, then I get the error 266 (or 226). I used to have a touch diamond that did this, but I can't remember how you get the connection to remain whilst uploading the new ROM. I've had a look through the forum, but can't find the answer. Can anyone give me some ideas?? Does the phone need to have certain settings applied to it before flashing?? I'm not exactly a noob to flashing ROM's, but can't work this one out!! Thanks all.
just extract the exe, rename *.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh, put in ur microSD root, enter bootloader, press power button when u asked to do so. soft-reset when complete. feel free to pm me n i will guide u.
SD card method is the quickest way to brick your phone...
I use W7 64bit with WMDC and have never had an issue. Custom ROMs comes as an NBH file and tend to have CustomRRU.exe with them to run them. Run the EXE as an admin and you shouldn't have any issues.
Obviously check that when in the bootloader it does say SPL is 1.42.HSPL
When I flash a ROM, it turns the phone off (Windows knows that as it makes a sound) and then when the bootloader comes back up it says USB, Windows makes a sound for plug in and it starts.

Hi, I'm using the same OS. I've tried running as admin but it still drops connection. The SPL is 1.42.HSPL. It just starts the update, then I see the phone disappear from the connected devices, then WMDC shuts down & a few seconds later the error message comes up??
you started flashing this fast only after one day of use
You don't need WMDC open - just close it once it says you're connected
The run the file and it should work.
As mentioned, why are you flashing it out the box? It's always best to get to know the device as it might just work as it is...perhaps try a stock ROM if you're not already using the newest one and go from there

I agree. not that there is anything technically unsafe about it, but unless you are fully aware what you are doing it's so easy to flash the wrong thing.
example,you flash a 1.66 stock rom from sd card but don't like it.you goo to change it but get a fail. why? because flashing stock from sd card also overwrites the spl.
no problem you say, I'll reinstall hspl.... only you can't because hspl needs spl 1.4 to instal and your 1.66 flash installed spl 1.6
worse still you instal one of the test roms from t mo us that are 2.0x which can't be downgraded even by gold card and you are stuck with spl2 until the geniuses that are the hspl team release hspl2.
just a thought...are you running as administrator? right click, run as administrator

Didn't know that, glad I have HSPL on my phone now!! lol
lots don't and that's what makes sd flashing dodgy. in the case of 1.6 it can be downgraded with a 1.4 spl stock rom.its just a pain. but 2.0 spl can't. check out the horror stories in my sig.
Yeah read about them, I nearly bricked my phone using the SD card method the first time I flashed but luckily the WMDC flash with my stock ROM got me back to normal!
I was trying to flash the stock 1.66 ROM, but it still disconnected. I have 1.43.206.4 WWE at the moment. The reason for flashing straight away, is usually the stock ROM updates are to improve / fix previous issues. This is why I wanted to start with a stock ROM & maybe move onto a cooked ROM at a later date. Does it make any difference when starting from an .exe file instead of RUU? Do you have to change something on the phone itself to allow it to stay connected?? cheers everyone for your comments.
run the exe as administrator, the phone should restart into boot loader (three colored stripes) and then flash.

Just tried it again & still no joy. It starts, the phones switches off, thats when it loses connection, then the bootloader appears, then about 10 secounds later it says error 266 connection lost. Still stumped???
Sounds like the device isn't reconnecting with the PC once in the bootloader - try another one...
with the phone in boot loader unplug the usb and plug back into a different port. preferably a port directly on the motherboard (round the back) not through a usb hub or slot in the case.
Sussed it now. I'm a mac user using Win7 using VMware fusion. I think it was this that was causing it to not detect the phone once it had started flashing the ROM. I tried it on my work laptop running XP & voila, it flashed immediately. Thanks everyone for your comments - no doubt I'll be posting a few more questions soon!!!
ah good stuff.
todays lesson ? put all the system info in the first post!

Ok.....next question. I've tried to flash a rom using the customruu file, but all it does is open up the contents of that file. I'm using XP Pro. Any ideas why anyone???
Hi, how are you, guys ?
I'm new to this awesome forum (helped me many times), and I decided to post a new thread because I believe that my situation is pretty serious.
I'm from France, by the way, so I apologize in advance for potential grammatical errors or what. Let's cut it to the chase.
Like most of you, I love new technologies with mobiles, that's why I bought what I consider to be the greatest smartphone on the planet right now, the HTC Leo/HD2.
When I searched all over the internet for tests, reviews about several phones I planned on buying, the HD2 seemed to be the most versatile of them. I was most notably amazed by the fact that the Leo could be a home to Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android, among others. So my choice was made.
I wanted immediately to upgrade the OS, and to go into WP7. Several reasons to that, the first being Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. As it's name indicates, this OS seemed to be made for professional purposes. Plus, and you may guess it, I was really excited to try Windows Phone 7.
I tried to search the easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to upgrade to WP7, and I found this site:
I'm not authorized to post the link to the site, so I'll just tell you that the article is "Download Windows Phone 7 [WP7] ROM For HTC HD2 [Install Guide]", in Aliwaqas[dot]com
Looks serious, right ?
I downloaded the files and followed the instructions.
Aparté: Before that, a week before, I downloaded the latest ROM from the HTC website, because I had a problem with text messages, a problem some of you (or even all of you) must've had: It took way too many time for the virtual keyboard to appear and process with the text message. So I download the ROM, it was the one from 2010-10-11, 3.14.406.2.
Back to the WP7 upgrade, now.
- It was asked to grab MAGLDR, extract and copy the files to my desktop: Done.
- Download HardSPL 2.08 and install it: Done.
After that, my phone completely froze at the white HTC Screen. Every time. I tried Soft & Hard Reset many times, still freezing. I continued, hoping that WP7 would stop the freezing.
- Download the 2.15.50.14 radio and install it. Done.
- Connect my phone to the computer and execute MAGLDR (v1.12): Done.
- Go to the fifth option, "USB Flasher": Done
And there stops my progression. As a matter of fact, it is aked to execute DWI.exe, which I did. However, every time, it finishes with this:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1198)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)
Can anyone help me on this, please ? Because I can't even restart it all with the Hard Reset, because it doesn't work, obviously.
Thank you to all, peace !
Did you have the 3.14 ROM installed prior to running HSPL2, flashing the 2.15.50 RADIO?

The first thing you need to do is downgrade the WinMo6.5 ROM to either 1.66 (HTC) or 1.72 (branded: T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc). Go to HTC's website and download the ROM from there - you need to use your phone's serial number.
Put the phone into BootLoader Mode (with the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will se a 3-colour screen with 'Serial' at the bottom. On the screen you should see SPL 3.03.0000 (this tells that you have the 3.14 ROM installed). Now connect to the PC and the 'Serial' will change to 'USB'.
Run the ROM (just tick the box about ActiveSync as bootloader bypasses the need for it). If you are running with Vista or Windows7 then you need to do this as an administrator. Once this is down you will have either a 1.66 or 1.72 ROM (either will have changed the SPL to 1.66.0000).
You can now run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL.
You can now run the 2.08.50 RADIO.
Now you are prepaired to enter the world of WP7 or Android NAND flashing.
Hi,
Thank you for helping me.
In fact, fred_up, I'm already in SPL-2.08.HSPL. I went in the thread alarien suggested even before posting this one. When I told you that I tried everything I could, it was real. Went into several forums, several languages, but no solutions. I hope this'll be the one. Anyway.
When it is into BootLoader Mode, here is what's in there ("_" means "blank):
PB81100___HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL__8G___XE
_______________0x05
CotullaHSPL______0x30
Even though I'm already at SPL 2.08.HSPL, do I still have to go through the process "3.03 -> 1.66 -> 2.08.HSPL -> 2.08.50" ?

Hi, everybody, thank you for your help
I re-downloaded the WPLEO7 folder, and I reinstalled it, it worked ! I'm now in Windows Phone 7, and it looks gorgeous.
On to the next problem, now
My phone is not recognized in my computer, no matter what way I try to go with. Installed Zune and the Windows Mobile Device Center, I can't do anything. Furthermore, the WMDC doesn't detect my WP7'ed HTC HD2. I want to install TouchXplorer and other .xap files, and I can't seem to find how I could possibly do that.
Anyone, s'il vous plaît ? (means "please" in french, for those of you who didn't know ! lol)

I did it, thanks for the help. However, ever since I installed chevronwp7.cer, my computer can't seem to recognize my phone anymore. I have all the related software, but I can't go farther.
Also, when I put an SD Card on my phone, it can't switch on !
I honestly don't know how to deal with that, can someone do ? Thanks.
I just solved the problem by my own. But I still have this problem with SD Card. When I put it on my HD2 (at that time, the phone is off. When it is on, it isn't recognized by the phone), I can't switch it on. I obviously need space because I can't even send some damn text messages.
