I have just had my first Experience with trying to upgrade a Herald. Here is what i learnt the hard way. Any of experienced Guys, please feel free to correct me.
1. If you want to flash upgrade your Phone, check your IPL and SPL in the Bootloader, hold down the Camera Button and then press soft Reset with the Stylus.
2. If your IPL and SPL are below 4.0 do not flash anything but a stock HTC Image, links to these are in the Wiki.
3. Once your IPL and SPL are higher than 4.0 you have numerous possibilities to flash all kind of Images by using USPL or hard SPL.
4. There are two File Types you can flash, either .nbh Files or os.nb Files.
5. .nbh Files can either be flashed by RUU (HTC Updater) or by SD Card were you put the File in Root of a FAT formated SD card and rename it to Heraimg.nbh and then insert the Card and then start the Bootloader, push Volume down when asked (you have 10sec).
6. As long as you have Bootloader there is lots of hope. I found removing the Battery for some Minutes, then turning on the Phone and then trying the Bootloader works most of the time.
7. A Hard Reset also often helps and this done by pressing both Softleys and then soft Reset with the Stylus.
Really concise explan.of what I was looking into.Thank's
Good people,
I thought I was stuborn and smart enough to follow your instructions to upgrade my old Tytn to WM6.1, but I think i lack the basic understanding. The only thing I am sure I have managed to do is to app-unlock the device. I also half-succeeded in installing a bootloader (SPL1.04). It shows a wonderful screen of four colors every now and then. But every attempt to go fro there to install WM6.1 or anything else (currently trying to install from SD), it goes through that screen and that is where it stops. Can you help me with the basics, what am I missing?
If the SPL on the tri-colour screen (bootloader) says 2.10 olipro you've done the best thing, if not then your in for some major hair pulling and a lot of reading...
Assuming you've got SPL 2.10 olipro & a charged battery......
1). Format an sd card fat32. Copy the .nbh file of the os you want and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in phone.
2). Reset to bootloader - hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. If you have formatted fat32 (NOT FAT) & the nbh file has been renamed properly, it should detect the flash file.
3). Follow instructions on screen....
This will fix your problem.
Cheers....
Hello, I have some problems with my mob.phone HTC HD2: after using Flash mobile stop working, then I tried install windows and tried turn on first time and my phone shows white screan with name HTC and don`t work at all,then i tried reset and Hard reset all setings and turn on again and than screan appears again with name HTC.
When i conect my phone to pc by usb, so my pc can`t find that phone.
Can you help me with this problem.
Thank you.
you should get your stock rom, ONLY your stock rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh
copy that file to your sd card formatted to fat 32 rename the file to leoimg.nbh
phone off
hold volume down
tap power (keep volume held)
phone should boot to three colors screen and start to flash.
this will ONLY work with original rom.
Thanks for Help.
Same problem......
I am also stuck in the white HTC screen, (R 2.06.51.07 G 15.30.50.07U D 1.66.76641). I can flash from SD card and so i tried, using the image in the latest official RRU, no way, it doesn't fix the problem.
I didnt try any unofficial rom, i just updated to the latest rom from HTC, it worked fine. The problem occurs after i had to restart the phone while trying to connect to a xifi AP...
Any idea what i should try now ?
Thanks. You saved my day.

OMG! Thank you so much! I love you!!!!!! I was stuck on boot because my flash failed and i followed your instructions and now i can flash again!!! i was so worried and if it weren't for you i would be screwed. Really you are a HUGE help! Keep the good work up
how long did you guys have to wait till the htc rebooted after that flash? cause ive been waiting for over 30 minutes and i thought i made that wrong.
Note: ive used HSPL fist, then flashed it with energyleo.23547, but energyleo kept stuck in bootloader
now im pretty afraid of loosing manufactors warranty ...
well lads, pay attention: ive fixed that my problem all by myself. HINT: ive kept holding the buttons for to long, so the device got stock while starting up. so dont press the voldown-button for too long, maybe only for 2 seconds!
hard reset
Remember boys and girls - if you get stuck on the bootloader you can also do the following:
1. Remove the battery to turn the phone off, leave 3 seconds
2. Replace battery and hold down the vol down button and turn on your device to get into the bootloader
3. It should say 'serial'. Plug your USB cable in and it'll change to 'USB'
4. Flash your stock ROM as normal using ActiveSync method. This will also reinstall the SPL (in the case of people who can't get past the first white HTC screen). I did this after the first (and only) time I tried to do it the SD card method. Put my stock SPL back on my phone

im pretty sure that flashing over usb won't do the spl. only sd card flashing can touch the spl.
When I tried to flash (after installing HSPL) using the sd card method and it bricked I went into the bootloader and it put my stock SPL back on - hence why I said if the sd card fails

I'd be inclined to suspect that In your case the spl was flashed during the failed sd card flash, so was already stock spl when you then flashed the stock rom over usb.(which of course being stock doesn't need hspl )
Hi Guys
I'm having the same problem, however, I bought the phone second hand. My question is how do I find out what my stock ROM is?
cheers

you download HSPL, run it, and if your spl is anything else than 1.42 it will give out an error and no harm is done
Hey
Thanks for replying. Do I get the stock ROM from the HTC website, is there a way to get it as a .nbh file as I am currently on a mac.
thanks

White Screen and HTC logo
I have found a similar problem, I flashed the HSPL rom following the instructions to the letter in the NOOB section.
Restarted my HTC HD2 having hard reset, and it would start and begin the installation and setup, once the setup completes, the software requests a soft reset, at this point my phone hangs on the white boot up screen with the HTC logo.
What am I doing wrong?
Stuck on White HTC Screen after ROM update
Why is it that, having run the HSPL update on my HD2 and checked that its successful, does my phone hang on the white HTC boot screen when it reboots after setup.
I have installed the energy rom, the most recent version. It still hangs at the boot after the rom does the soft reset...
Help please?

Hello monx

I have the following error
the upper half of my Didsplay is mirrored to the down half
i see. if that so, just
(1) Turn off your device. remove ur battery & reinsert back to make sure the device is fully power off. u also may charge ur device for a few minutes to avoid battery run out of power when flashing is in progress.
(2) extract ruu_signed.nbh form ur stock rom *.exe & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.
(3) copy LEOIMG.nbh to microSD card root & put ur card back to device.
(4) Hold volume down + power button until it inter bootloader & ask to press power button to flash the image.
(5) Press power, sit back & relax until flashing finish.
(6) Softreset device by pushing reset hole.
Done.

the error is every time
see this picture
Pls try to format ur microsd to fat32 with default allocation size.
dont connect any cable when flashing using microsd.
you still have HSPL on the phone. I think you have to stop holding the down button as soon as it comes up to boot from the card but i'm not sure as i nearly bricked my phone the one time i tried to flash my phone using the sd card

is the error only visible on the bootloader screen or also in the roms you're running?
the exclamation mark you are talking about in an earlier post is most probably because you have a branded phone and you are trying to install a stock rom. this doesn't work with hspl when flashing from SD card because when flashing from sd you try to remove hspl with a rom which isn't compatible with your phone. because the rom is not compatible the upgrade or downgrade cannot complete without a goldcard.
do you still have the garbled display once you have installed a different rom via hspl/sspl, and after that try to reboot into bootloader?
Hello htc12345
the error is visible on the bootloader and in windows
without HSPL i geht the triangle to the on picture 3
yes the phone is an branded T-Mobile Germany Phone
so i think i have to wait for an official Provider ROM
gsc12
Might be a lesson to all to make sure you have your stock ROM before diving head first into cooked ROMs...
Hello
what for an Kingston MicroSD Card is the best for an Goldcard
thx

Ok basically my phones completely Bricked.
It turns on and shows the HTC Logo and then sits there and does nothing.
I can get the phone into the Rainbow Bootloader however then it won't connect to my computer.
Im pretty sure the phone originally had Android 2.2 however that's all messed up and gone.
Is there a way to completely wipe and then reinstall Android or even the Original WM 6.5?
Im stuck here guys. The phone is a USA T-Mobile Leo.
Cheers
no your phoine is not bricked, if it was bricked it wouldnt even turn on
so you boot intothe boot loader plug inthe usb cable and does it change from serial to usb?
Flash the phone through the sd card.
Try Energy Rom here:
http://hotfile.com/list/588162/580b43d
Download the file Energy.Leo.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.15.7z
Uncompress the archive. Put the file "leoimg.nbh" in the root of the sd card and go to bootloader (hold volume down key and soft reset).

Probably yes. Sorry, then.
Either way, he can still download the official rom .exe file and uncompress it with winzip or winrar. After that, he should find the .nbh file and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" and put it in the sd root.
Hi there,
Yes i have downloaded the Official ROM from T-Mobile.com and entered my IMEI, so i suspect its the correct one.
Tried updating from the Computer and it got to 5% and then said Update Failed.
I also tried doing it from the SD Card the way you guys said to, it worked once, it got to about 3% and said something about Invalid Radio.
I'm guessing this should have worked, however it didn't
Any idea why??
Cheers for your help Guys
PS: When i load into BootLoader mode it does come with with Serial and then USB.
However it also now since the update failed comes up with 'Upgrade ROM Code Error, Please Try Again "
I Get Error Code 284 on the update utility
Cheers
Can you not try to flash a different radio, and then try and flash a stock Rom, it might work. Or if it will let you, task20-radio-magldr

The current T-Mobile radio version is 2.15.50.14. If you downloaded the update ROM from T-Mobile thin this radio version is included with it.
When in bootloader what SPL or HSPL do you have? If it is not SPL 3.03.0000 OR SPL 3.03 HSPL then thos is your problem. The current T-Mobilr ROM is a 3.14 ROM and all 3.14 ROMs require one of these SPL versions to flash. You can change it after you flash.
I also recomend you run a task 29 on hour HD2 and then reflash the 3.14.T-Mobile ROM. You can do this via SD card as well. You can even flash MAGLDR ia SD card.

ATM My SPL is 2.9
I think it may be corrupt, i took my phone into a phone repair shop and they had no idea how to fix it either.
So does anybody have some detailed instructions on how to do this, id love to get it going!
Cheers
It has to be the radio. If I'm not mistaken you flash the radio just like a ROM.
Here a thread with alot of Radios. Look for the one that says 2.15.50.14 Radio or something similar theres instructions in the thread.
THREAD: [RADIO] The HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread
Good luck!
sounds like nand coruption or a dodgy cable...
You'll need to flash original Rom from SD Card
Format your SD Card under windows down to FAT32 original allocation size.
extract the contents of the installer that you've downloaded from TMobile
copy RUU_signed.nbh and then rename it to leoimg.nbh
now im pretty sure you hold either the Up volume + Power until you get to a grey screen and follow prompts.
OR
up volume + down volume + Power
You do those combo's as you turn on the phone and hold untill the applicable screen comes up.

It is neither of those you give. You hold the volume down button down while powering on to get to bootloader, the grey screen is automatic when bootloader detects the leoimg.nbh file on the SD card. Also you just have to press the power button down like you would to normally turn the phone on, it is the volume down button you have to keep pressed down until you see bootloader. If you hold both the volume up and down buttons down while powering on it will go to the hard reset function.

Ok are you sure you have SPL 2.09 on your HD2 cause it should be one of these?
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
SPL 3.03.0000
If you have that SPL you might have to flash a older ROM to get another SPL version that will let you flash HSPL as SPL 2.09 will not and I have not heaerd of that SPL so it must have been like a test SPL or something.
Go to "Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS"and start at the 2,07 ROM, download it and try to flash it via USB and SD card. If no joy, move to 2.09 ROM, if now joy with it move to 2.10.0 ROM and so on and so on until you get one to flash. try both flash methods with both.
Do not, I repeat do not flash or even download for that matter the 2.01 ROM marked not for TMOUS as it will brick/KILL your your HD2!
Recommendations from the SD flash your machine
