Hello,
I want to flash my device with 1.66.707.1 rom. I can't download it via HTC official page.
Now I have few questions. According to that I couldn't download it from HTC official page in my country because I've got inappropriate S/N. May I install it on my radio if I supply good (fake) S/N to official HTC page?
I even didn't tray to do this because I'm afraid I can turn my HD2 a into brick.
I don't care about language. I think that after flashing ROM I can download a proper language pack.
Greats.
invalid serial means your phone is vendor locked. (eg t mobile, vodafone or whatever)
even if you download using a different serial the upgrade will fail saying "vendor id mismatch" or something similar.
in theory you need to wait for your vendor to release the update, however in reality installing hspl will allow you to instal the update without getting the error.
go read the hspl threads.
Easy to sey .
It's my first Windows Mobile based phone. I've never installed rom, and yet a cooked one.
I've have some bugs about which I've read on this forum. Those are:
* lack of virtual keyboard while creating a new text message (or any app which need it)
* error while starting digital camera.
All of that disappear after soft reset. That's why I want to install the newest rom.
To not start a new thread is there any way to find out if the rom which I downloaded from HTC suits to my phone? S/N is correct. If I start RUU it will start flashing my device, yes?
Another question. Is it true that every HTC Leo has 576MB RAM but it is locked down?
read this then, it has all the info you need on flashing your phone...

once HSPL is installed you can download an official WWE ROM from this thread and run it as if it were an official ROM for your phone...

As EddyOS stated, go read my flashing guide THOROUGHLY!!
1. Install HardSPL on your device (best done using WindowsXP or Windows7 32bit).
2. Download the Rom you require from the download site provided and flash using the instructions provided in my guide.
3. Enjoy your new phone
Once you have HardSPL on your phone it will be protected from bad flashes and you will be able to flash stock or custom roms or radios as and when you require. HardSPL is definitely reccommended as it has probably saved hundreds of phone from being turned into paperweights when flashing a bad rom or flashing incorrectly.
If you want to try a custom rom then I would definitely recommend the one in my signature but its totally upto you what you decide to put on your device.
With regards to the 576MB Ram it does seem that its actually accessible but only using the newer 2.02 Roms with specific Radios. This has been tested and verified. It wont be accessible on a 1.66 stock rom though.

- What ROM were you trying to flash and what ROM version (and language) do you have on your device?
- Is your device Branded?
- Did you flash HSPL?
- Did you see a progress bar on screen when flashing, or just the colored bars?
- When you get to the tricolor-screen (bootloader) and you connect to your PC, does it say USB after a few seconds, or does it say Serial?
- What went wrong at 24%? Did you unplug the phone, did your system crash, or were you just being inpatient?
If you answer the above questions, someone may be able to help you. Also, start by reading the stickies.
Rom was 1.48.479.1 and I wanted to replace it with 1.48.479.1 because some bugs were annoying me which I mentioned earlier.
Yes my device is branded but it doesn't have simlock.
No I didn't used HSPL because I downloaded rom from HTC using my own original S/N.
When I was flashing I saw brogress bar with HTC logo.
I have those tri-colour screen when I power on the device, but before that I have warning triangle. No it doesn't say Serial nor USB.
What went wrong. I swear I don't know. No, no, no I wasn't impatient. After it hanged on 24% I got error message from the program on PC with UPGRADE ERROR. I've tried to resume like the program said me. But without any effect. What I did was unplug; put aut battery; wait 3 seconds; put battery in; power on and plug in. I'm sure that I was doing everything right because I was following the program.

If i have 1.48 and with my serial can`t download 1.66... it is recommended to install WWE 1.66 with serials posted here without HSPL? my device is also WWE and was only sim locked Vodafone. (non-branded)
If you have questions regarding rom or hardspl flashing please ask in the correct thread.
if,when you put your serial into htc website, it doesn't allow you to download, then you MUST use hspl to flash an unbranded rom.
@y0ystet. your phone is branded. sim lock its not connected to vendor lock.instal hspl and try again, same rom.
@lakhbeer, did you flash hspl first? more detail please, messed up? doesn't work?
@rayman your phone is vodafone locked.
I repeat, the htc website doesn't accept your serial, you are provider locked and that is not connected to sim lock/unlock.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about that. They said I can send the phone to them.
I found sth out. If I hold the volume down and connect the usb cable I have a message on my screen. On screen which have three colours on green I have: "Upgrade Rom code error. Please try again" And on the white I have: "Serial".
Is there anything I can do about that?
But don't say me to flash witch the HSPL. I won't do that on two reasons:
I've never do that
If I send it to service I'll void my warranty.
What would you suggest to do?
I've solved the problem .
you going to let people know for future use?
How to fix ROM error on VODAFONE UK solution
I also have a HTC HD2 bought from Vodafone.
I flashed my mobile and installed Pandora 1.4 ROM...it was always freezing my Leo every time I looked at docs tab, so I decided to install shipped Leo ROM 1.66 and that is when things went wrong, same problem as you have now, so I downloaded h**p://w w w .4shared.com/file/205652004/1bf6c7ce/RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1434051_Ra.html
aka the original ROM from Vodafone UK and it is working now....but now I am no sure if I wanna try more roms because next time I can be stuck with error screen forever.....
I am still on rom 1.43 as 02 UK network say that they are still testing Rom 1.48. I have been on the htc website and they state that I can't update to 1.66 as the phone is branded to 02.
This is really stressing me out as 02 are useless and are not bothered, htc keep saying contact your provider
What are my options to make this a de branded phone.
I knew I should of bought a de branded phone
What version of spl do you have. If it is 1.42.0000 you can use hspl and flash to whichever rom you want. Just check that you can get a backup copy of your current rom as a backup in the event you ever need to return to stock for warranty purposes.
You'll find all of the necessary information here
I have an O2 phone just like yours and did exactly what ClydeB1 said. I first found the stock O2 ROM I was going to replace (links are in the stickies in this forum) and put the image on the SD card that O2 so kindly supplied, for us to revert back to their stock ROM. Then I followed all the information on this site to put HSPL on, and I've been flashing like a pervert ever since. Not to mention MTTY and HARD RESET!
just a note i got my HD2 O2 handset and it came with 1.48??

mmm sounds good cos i was taking on twitter to o2 and they said all o2 hd2's will be released with the orignal rom, just on another subject am getting a hd2 from o2 nest week and have just seen on there site they have put the prices up!!!!
Prob got it from a 3rd party and they provided an 'unbranded' HD2 so it's on HTCs normal ROMs
02 are awful for customer support.
firmware
1.43 70315
correction - serial works on HTC website. i put in the IMEI number instead
:embarrassed:
Got my HD 2 from o2 online shop and it seems like they have given me an unbranded phone, updated to 1.66 no probs. Guess I'm lucky for once in my life! Maybe I should start playing the lottery?
Had my HD2 last week, cames with 1.43, cannot update via HTC, BUT nothign wrong with 1.43, so no rush for me, when (if ) O2 release an update, i will, but I'm not fussed tbh.
a few notes to using HSPL for users locked to o2 roms.
1 - go HERE, see the first post, first link, look for the 1.43 folder, in there is a ROM with o2 in the name. That is your get out of jail free card. Download the file
RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe
This file is actually a zip file.
Right click the file, choose extract here (Or, change the filename to .zip instead of .exe) inside is a file called RUU_signed.nbh. That is the ROM. SHould you need to gat back to factory conditions, put that file on your sd card, rename it leoimg.nbh reboot the phone into bootloader, it will flash the rom, the radio, and most importanlty the SPL back to how they were when you got the phone.
Once you have that file, keep it safe. You can now go to the HSPL thread, download and instal HSPL (use a USB port in the back of your PC, for some reason HSPL doesn't play nice through USB ports in the PC case, or through hubs, or card readers, etc)
Now that HSPL is on your device, you can flash ANYTHING you like USING USB. Roms, radios, whatever.
The only time you should use SD card from now on is to flash teh stock 1.43 rom. Flashing ANY OTHER stock rom from sd card will cause you problems.
Hello Guys
I need to reflash my phone with stock bootloader and stock android Sense rom. i have searched over the forum and there is no one proper method to do it.
also., i have tried RUU from shipped roms, but the updater does not flash the phone as it says the RUU is wrong.
The phone I am trying to flash is a HTC Wildfire bought June 2010 with T-mobile sim.
thanks in advance.
Same case with me just my wildfire is not branded

Chek you have a valid goldcard when flashing the shipped rom.
Download the a RUU Rom from shipped-rom's.
Open the .exe file and leave it open, now go to %TEMP% in explorer.exe (start > run), and search for Rom.zip or something like that.
Copy that file to your SD Card and install it with ClockWorkMod.
I downloaded the RUU from a link on the forum. Now when I go to Shipped roms top download the RUU manually, i cant find the model (Buzz/ Wildfire) there..
where do I download the RUU from?

Hi,
Posting a new thread since I could not find any thread that could address my issue. If there is one, pls point me to it.
I have a GSM Hero. I flashed Froydvillain 1.7.2 ROM on it. However, for some reasons, I want to go back to stock 2.1 HTC ROM.
After rooting the phone, I had created a backup with Nandroid. However, when I try to restore it using Nandroid, I get following msg -
.android_secure.img not found Skipping restore of applications on external storage', and then also something about skipping restore of /sd-ext
After this, it says restore complete.
When I reboot, I am stuck on the Airtel screen (HTC India). Can not go past it.
Can anybody tell a way to load stock 2.1 ROM?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure, but it could be a missing file leading to a corrupted backup. If that is the case you can either get a stock 2.1 rom in zip form
(like this one for exemple http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714075) or you could un-root by running a RUU (rom update utility) and remove the patched recovery image, in effect restoring your phone to factory condition.
There's a decent guide on how to do that here.
Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I actually prefer theunloackr.com method of unrooting. However, the problem is that since I am having a Froydvillain ROM, I can't use HTC Sync with it. So, can not use the RUU.
I think first installing the zipped generic OTA you mentioned and then using theunlockr.com method will do the thing for me. Isn't it?
Are there any other zipped RUU?
Thanks again
Just boot your phone into bootloader, plug it into your computer, and make sure it is on hboot-mode (it shows HBOOT on the screen) then go into Device Manager on Windows and look for "Android USB Devices" - if the device under there is named "My HTC" then everything is fine and you can start the RUU.exe, but if it's not you will have to update the driver with the one installed with HTC Sync (probably located in C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\(Your OS here)\ ) then it should be named "My HTC" and you should be able to go on

I hope you can imagine the feeling of relief...
The Android USB device listed is indeed 'My Hero' so I hope it is completely safe to go ahead with RUU....
I have downloaded India RUU from some site...however can you tell me where can find authentic RUU?
Thanks again...
There has to be a thread with all the roms for the hero... including the official ruu. Also, you could try the xda wiki.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Is it Generic HTC or is it branded in any way? If it's branded you will find it at your carriers homepage (hopefully). If it's generic you will find it on htc.com

I usually go here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero
They are all authentic and if one isn't compatible with your phone it should just say so (though the latest one with asia in the name should probably work).
Thanks
Hello all,
The issue is solved now.
I am back to the stock ROM.
I found that the method suggested by mljjlm worked perfectly for me.
The issue I faced was: Going back to stock HTC Hero 2.1 ROM from a rooted, Froydvillain 1.7.2 ROM
1. I had already downloaded appropriate RUU from following link -
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero
2. I followed confirmatory steps suggested by mljjlm in the post above
3. Just plugged in Hero to PC via USB cable, and ran the RUU. This pdf from HTC website tells more about running RUU (for a different device, but same procedure) http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Co.../Touch_Detailed_RUU_Instructions_07152008.pdf
That's it.
Thanks all for help.

I need ruu file just for this SN
Sorry for the late reply, but in not sure that they make RUU for each SN.
The SN is just an ID for the phone so the company can know where this certain phone was shipped to and where it was sold, etc...
But the Carrier does matter, which is why, on andy's website, he has different RUU for different carriers.
You can choose the WWE version (2.2 froyo-(1.32 FW) and 2.3 Gingerbread-(2.36 FW) are available) if you didnt buy it from a certain carrier
@OP what is your firmware version. Not your android version, your HTC firmware.
Failing that, make a gold card thus allowing you to negate the CID check and extract the Rom.zip file from the latest unbranded HTC RUU and apply it using the bootloader. Worked for me and dead easy too.

top really needed this!!!!!!!
Now i've downloaded 2 firmwares,the names follow below.I can't install any of them due to "Customer ID error",how can i install any original firmware?
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed.exe
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
PS:I have goldcard.
Your goldcard is required for flashing PD98IMG.zip's, I'm sure it has no relevance to RUU's.
You have a branded/network locked device, you need a matching RUU.
What is your HTC Firmware version.
Andy is right - if you want to just apply what is essentially an RUU of your choice you need to:
1. Run the RUU exe so that it fires up then find the ROM.zip file on your PC. Should be under your usernames temp folder somewhere. You only need to open it to it's first screen to get access to the files it extracts - no need to go any further.
2. Rename the file to PD98IMG.zip and put it onto the root of your Goldcard.
3. Boot the phone into the bootloader by holding the volume button down as you turn it on. Make sure the Goldcard with the zip file on is inserted at this point.
It'll check the zip and ask if you want to apply it, at which point it'll flash the lot as the Goldcard bypasses the CID check which is what's been stopping your RUU from working.
That's all I did but using a 1.32 stock ROM then applied the 2.3 RUU over the top to get me to Gingerbread from the horrible 1.72 HTC ROM riddled with bugs.
Andy, that process should work for anyone shouldn't it?
Yep, that is the process.
It worked for me thanks.
