Help!
First time attempt at using HPSL and may have bricked my HD2 :-(
I have a Voda supplied HD2 so can't install the stock ROMs directly...I thought I would be able to do so via HPSL, but it seems not. I was trying to install 1.66 (UK WWE) following the HPSL for dummies guide, and did the following:
- installed HPSL onto HD2, confirmed by going into bootloader
- put nbh file (extracted from stock .exe) onto SD card, named LEOIMG.nbh
- entered bootloader and chose flash option via power button
- flash started (minimal progress)
- within 2mins error showed
- now going into bootloader shows
00028002
Not allow
then..
SPL-1.42.0000 :-(
Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
If I start normally I get a warning triangle.
How can I get my HD2 back from the dead, ideally with 1.66 rather than the crummy Voda 1.43? (can anyone point me at a stock ROM for the voda 1.43, perhaps that would at least unbrick it?)
Help!!!!
*EDIT* Currently downloading the Voda 1.43 image, hoping I can at least get that back and running...if that works will still be keen to find out how to apply stock 1.66 via HPSL (bearing in mind that the CID lock(?) means I can't apply 1.66 on my voda device thru normal means)

The 3rd sticky down in the HD2 ROM Development thread is titled, "[REF]Leo Official ROMs" - Click that.
Then click, "Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs".
The first "box" will have the title "Leo 1.43" under it. Click the hand carrying the folder icon.
You'll be greeted with 3 ROM's, select RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe and download it.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with getting your phone back up and running.
Your device is not bricked. I think you have not installed HSPL properly.
Try installing HSPL again. As it seems your HSPL is not installed properly. Follow the following instructions very carefully :
Connect your phone to USB
I think when you boot in by default your device goes into bootloader if not press volume down + power butoon on the same time, your phone will enter tri color bootloader mode.
At the bottom of your screen it shoul show "USB"
Now download the HSPL.zip file(I have attached it here)
Now run HSPL.exe and follow the onscreen insteuctions.(Mostly you have nothing to do it will start installing automatically)
After a while on the screen of your phone a text will appear saying "We hacked it". If this text is displayed then everything went ok. Now confirm by clicking yes on the computer screen and it will finish the process.
All done.
Your phone will restart.
If you want to check that your fone has HSPL then press volume down+power key at the same time. The phone will enter into bootloader and should show "cotullaHSPL".
Now you can install any ROM and it will run properly.
Thanks - had just found that and started downloading as you posted this..fingers crossed! If this works will still be keen on ways to apply 1.66 (stock) to my voda CID locked device.

This is exactly what happened 1st time I installed HSPL...however trying it again did get the phone back and apparenty healthy again....thanks!
So - 2nd attempt to flash the 1.66 ROM, same as before. Confirmed HSPL installed via tri-colour bootloader screen, selected (via power button) option to flash from SD. Progress bar gets to (max) 10%, Warning triangle briefly shows then phone goes back to tricolour bootloader (but with std. SPL version) and nothing more happens.
Should I be waiting longer ? i.e. is the phone potentially still flashing when on the tricolour, std. SPL, screen ? Not flashed an HD2 before so not 100% sure I'm doing this right..will double check videos on this site, sure I'm just being stupid/impatient/not read enough....may try downloading the ROM again incase corrupted.
Anyway, HSPL installed for 3rd time and phone appears fine back running with 1.43.
People please read the HSPL thread properly, once you have installed the HSPL you CANNOT install from SD card you HAVE TO USE THE PC to install any rom images that are not original HTC.

Yeah, the 1.66 ROM you've downloaded may be corrupted. And next time, try installing the ROM with USB connection and the ROM's .exe file. You SPL is reverting back to stock, so it's possible that the culprit is flashing with SD.
OK, problem solved...
Rather than installing the stock ROM via HSPL bootloader I installed HSPL and then ran the RUU exe for the stock ROM. Phone now upgraded

I believe Dragon Soft was possibly referring to not using a stock ROM from SD? If I remember correctly flashing a Stock ROM from SD with HSPL on will remove HSPL.
So in other words, if you have HSPL and want to have a stock ROM, it is best install it from the PC when connected via ActiveSync as this won't affect the HSPL.
Custom ROM absolutely no probs with flashing from SD, the HSPL will stay intact, good work on the video ★

I got my Leo two days ago, went home, put HSPL on it in the first place, wanted to upgrade the stock ROM, and ended up same as CraigBruce. Really frustrating, thought I'd bricked it. So I re-flashed HSPL and this time a custom ROM and it was back up again.
Now I know that I should have flashed the stock ROM via ActiveSync and not SD card which would have left the HSPL intact. I will definitely remember that for the future
just remember that some people WANT to remove HSPL when installing a stock ROM - e.g. when returning device.
tbh it should have worked with stock ROM and sdcard as leoimg.nbh - it is the way listed in HSPL thread to uninstall after all!!! we dont always want to use customRUU!!!
As from the noob flashing thread
NOTE: The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from microSD card
* You can also use this method to flash back your Stock Rom and Stock SPL that you originally had on your phone*
VIDEO TUTORIAL: [★] has made a YouTube video to walk people through flashing a Stock SPL via activesync. Find it *HERE*
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

With hspl installed you CAN flash CUSTOM roms using sd card, it is only flashing OFFICIAL roms through sd card that removes hspl.

i have flashed HSPL on to my HD2 and am now wanting to install HTC's new 1.66 rom.
i have a VF hd2 so i am a little worried i will hit the same issues as the OP did.

Use the custom ruu to flash it. Do not put the nbh on the sd. I quote from the "[HSPL]How to flash everything" thread:
4) Uninstallation
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.

No Problem Flashhing to 1.66 on a Voda HD2 with HSPL
I have a voda HD2 and being a total Newbie to the HTC / WM .. I followed the Dummie guide.. (thanx to all, for that.. fantastic..) installed HSPL..and then installed the latest 1.66 from the HTC site using a boggus serial number.. As actual would not let me download it. No problemo..
Feeling a bit more adventureous.. any suggestions for the best 'cooked Rom' ??
From my understanding, you can flash away Stock ROMS using activesync. No need for HSPL.
I think I made a grave error and updated to the TMO USA 2.02 ROM not knowing it would be watermarked all over the place. So now I'm trying to revert back to HSPL and am having no luck whatsoever. I've read and read and read but can find no clear cut path to downgrade the SPL. I really just want to get back to the WWE 1.66 official release I was running.
Can anybody please help? I've tried flashing all kinds of different ROMS including official roms but nothing works. Even from the memory card is of no help.
I hear gold card mentioned but I have no idea what that is and Google gives billions of results for gold card, nothing that explained it to me. I have to buy a gold card?
Can somebody please help?
Either downgrade my SPL or instruct me on ridding my 2.02 of these water marks. HTC Confidential is printed in the middle.
Thanks.

if you flash a stock 166 rom then you don't need goldcard.. especially with the 200spl in place.
flashing via ssdcard or using just running the full exe from windows should install the 166 complete including the 142 spl.
I know as I've done it a few times over the last couple of days.
the watermarking is nothing to do with the spl btw.. it's the ddi.dll that's the cause.
next time read a bit more before you go around flashing everything, it will save you some heartache, as the 202 rom has been discussed in some detail adn isn't suitable for noobs to use, as you've found out. .
Thanks. I did try flashing down to the official 1.66 rom WWE and neither the exe from the PC nor the leoimg.nbh worked.
Using the SD card method it flashes gray for a second with some red number up top and then returns to the rainbow bootloader screen and sits.
Using the PC method it boots the phone, gets to 1% of the flash, returns some error about communication and goes back into the 2.02
Honestly, if there were a way to remove the water mark I would be just fine with it all. I tried to replace the ddi.dll with the one from 2.01 earlier in the day but it just froze at the Stick Together first splash screen so I don't know what else to try in that regard.
edit -deleted in case I'm wrong (more often than not )
I just got done getting the 1.66 official WWE on there via SSPL. For some reason it won't let me install any custom rom via SSPL saying it loses communication with the phone.
So I'm OK for the time being.
Can somebody please direct me to the location of Gold Card? I'm having a bear of a time finding it.
Thank you very much for your help.
balane,
I feel your pain but as Fards has just said doing a significant amount of research first before jumping in can save hassle later on.
XDA can be a bit hit and miss to search so use this to help you out...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
If you search for Gold Card the 3rd or 4th item down is the thread you are looking for.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted.
All the best,

OK, thanks for that. Now that I have some links I'll get to reading.
I'm pretty sure if you get the right official rom for your device, you can place the rom image as leoimg.nbh in your sdcard and it will flash for you including the spl.
had that before so the steps work for me
I would love to know which one. I know for certain that 1.66 did not work via this method. Do you have any suggestions as to which official ROM package to try?

Re:Goldcards, to make one for the leo you need PSAS, which is not free. see revskills.de

well it does for me... and I don't use goldcard. (unless you consider credit gold card as one)
you must make sure you are using an nbh rom that has spl image obviously, otherwise it won't downgrade (or upgrade) depending on your spl version in the nbh

Is it OK to keep my 1.66 official flashed via SSPL on a phone with SPL-2.0? There is no problem with that, right?

probably don't help, anyway is your SD fat32 formatted?
if yes or not, you can try to reformat SD and flash from root LEOIMG.nbh extracted from 1.66 official .exe
To restore original SPL:
- 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.

This procedure worked for me. Restored back SPL 1.42 from HSPL 2.0 (and HTC Reworked)
I used the first official ROM available on htc.com and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh from it. Renamed to leoimg.nbh, put the file on microSD card, restated while holding the volume down + power button and followed on-screen instructions.

HSPL 2.0 ?? is this out???
and HTC Reworked you mean the italian chef custom rom? the custom rom don't flash spl
STOP TRYING TO USE SSPL for this.
it works ***ONLY*** for flashing the os and splash..
it doesnt flash radio or spl
You may need to format you Sdcard or try another one..
try another 166 rom, the exe (NOT the custom ruu or sspl version) will flash this over the top of 200 spl
the 200 spl is MFGR that means it's not region locked, so you dont need a goldcard to flash it..
pm me if you want a hand

Maybe not sure about the HSPL version, it was the one from here.
And yes, the HTC Reworked was a custom rom (and very buggy unfortunatelly), with 1Ghz patch and 576 RAM enabled.
Easiest (possibly) method would be to flash HardSPL and then flash the 1.66 ROM from the SD card. HardSPL will accept an SPL if flashed from SD, and HardSPL will overwrite the 2.00 SPL.

Hi all,
I know how often these threads come up and I'm sorry to be posting one myself. I have used the search function to help me sort the problem out, but I just seem to be stuck.
Ok, so I had 1.48 official WWE ROM on my HD2 and thought of upgrading to a custom ROM unlocking the 576mb RAM.I used the following 'Lost in Asia Preloaded' ROM.
I did a HSPL before this and went on to install the ROM. The installation was unsuccessful and all I was getting was the white HTC screen from startup. Even after taking the battery out/red button reset, the problem was not fixed. I searched around a bit and did the following:
'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.'
This installation was unsuccessful as well and now the phone will not turn on and I'm getting an exclamation mark in a black screen.
Could anyone please help me out? Sorry for being a noob at this, I don't get the chance to keep myself updated about all the advancements in ROM development.
Thanks in advance for your help.
heh, seeing as you are quoting me I'll have a go at helping.
my first thought is that you didn't use the correct stock rom.
where is the phone from? did you buy it outright or on contract?
what country are you (was it bought) in?
Question 2 - can you get in to bootloader? (power off, making sure there is NOT a leoimg file on sd card, hold down volume, tap power, keeping down vol pressed till it starts to three coloured screen)
If you can get to that screen, look for the SPL bit, what does it say?
Hopefully something like 1.42.0000 or 1.42.HSPL?
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Yeah I did use your advice from a different thread.
Answer to the first question: I got this on contract from T Mobile UK in November.
Answer to the second question: I had a look again on the initial advice by you, saying that I should use the original ROM file. as stated before it was 1.48 and I was using 1.66 to fix the phone. Using the 1.48 image file has now brought the phone back to life and it now seems to be working fine. But I am stuck on 1.48.
About the SPL: Volume button held down and tapping the power button brings up a screen showing SPL-1.42.0000 XE
I wanted to upgrade to a more recent version of the ROM namely 1.66.707.1 with a more recent Radio version as well. Though flashing a recent custom ROM would be the answer. more ram would not hurt as well! Any help about how I might be able to go about this? a link to the right guide would be helpful as well.
Heh, glad its sorted. Heres a few pointers.
Your stock rom is the T Mo uk wwe 1.48 rom. Keep a copy of that handy just in case you ever break it again. That one will always (well, nearly always) take your phone back to stock if you do the sd card method with the leoimg file.
When you are flashing, you should idealy always use USB method, NOT sd card method - Reason? because flashing an official (eg 1.66) rom using sd card will not only overwrite your original rom, but also overwrite the phones SPL (including HSPL, thats how to uninstal HSPL for warranty purposes).
For flashing both official roms, or cooked roms, you should instal HSPL and then use USB method to flash the rom.(Same goes for flashing radios)
The only time you need to use sd card method is when you want to go back to factory default, and then you should only do so with that T Mo UK file.
If you flash a bad rom that wont boot, no problem, because HSPL will still be installed, because you used USB method, , , so just pick a different ROM and flash again from the pc, over USB, job done.
SD card flashing is risky unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing.
To move to 1.66 (or in fact any rom you like) do this
Instal HSPL
run the 1,66 installer from the PC (NOT SD CARD!)
wait for it to flash
Done.
Great thread guys!
Do we really install HSPL? because if the installed one is the official 1.48... the official 1.66 should be instalable by USB, right?. this is my case and I'm a little confused...
Qq
In my opinion it is best to install HSPL, and then instal the updated (or cooked) rom using USB, that way your SPL is protected by HSPL.
Put simply, you want to protect your SPL, and the best way to do that is to avoid flashing using sd card. With HSPL installed you CAN install any cooked rom, and you CAN install the official updates (1.66) with no effect to your SPL.
I should point out that if you do NOT have your original stock rom available you won't be able to uninstal HSPL in the event of needing to return the phone, but if you DO have it available, (or you dont mind the possible warranty void) then go for it.

If your phone lets you instal 1.66 via usb without HSPL then go right ahead, using USB will not affect your SPL. If you are provider locked, and there is no provider 1.66 available (example o2 uk havent released a 1.66) then you can instal HSPL and then use the HTC 1.66.
I know apparently this isnt the best way to flash your HD2, but im stuck without any access to windows. (mac user)
i cant seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this properly....
is there a link somewhere i can get to so i can figure this out? isnt it as simple as copying the custom.nbh file to the root of my memory card, and entering the bootloader screen?
Sorry for all the noob questions.
take ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sdcard formatted fat32 (2gb cards seen to work best) rename it leoimg.nbh, boot to bootloader and it should detect the image and ask if you want to flash.
it still requires hspl, unless you have a goldcard(easier to borrow a pc for two minutes to apply hspl than make a goldcard)
the phones already been flashed with hspl.
i just want to change the rom!
Thanks for the tips im going to go for it right now

Hi
One advice you have to remember is DO NOT flash any official rom with this method. If you do it will replace the hspl and you will be stuck.
Good luck

True, flashing a stock rom via sd card will overwrite hspl with the new stock spl, but you will not necessarily be stuck. That used to be the case before hspl2, as the original hspl only worked with spl 1.42.0000. HSPL2 now works with 1.42.0000, 1.66.0000 or 2.08.0000 spl's.
or just throw your mac away and buy a PC
What many forget is that you actually need an SD card and not SDHC, as those will not work.
understand u already flash hspl,
microSD / microSDHC will work as long it is formatted with FAT32 fs.
just copy the *.nbh to SD root & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.
enter bootloader, follow on-screen.
if bootloader cant find any rom image, run scandisk & try again.
gd luck.
I just flashed this rom.
It seemed to be fine. It installed and looked a-ok.
I had a look around and every thing looked as it should.
I added "26.4 column Start menu.cab" and now the phone won't reboot at all.
It gets to the HTC white screen, and then hangs.
Any ideas?
Is it a conflict between the 4 columns app and the ROM?

either that or you didn't do a hard reset after you flashed.
apologies, I replied in here when I thought I was in the HTC Energy thread.
The device rebooted after the flash.
Does that not count as a hard reset?

Is it T Mobile usa? if so, then you have flashed an incompatible rom.
tmous (T Mo US) phones will opnly take roms based on 2.10, the rom you have installed is 1.66 (D 1. 66. Kumar)
Kumar has a rom in the Tmo US section based on 2.10, you should use that, not the one in teh normal hd2 section.
With power off, press and hold "volume down", tap the power key and continue to hold vol down until you get the three coloured screen, connect to usb, wait for word 'serial' to become 'usb' and flash a compatible rom.

I've just been digging through and saw this, I have the 3 colours and USB.
Gonna try and reflash and see what happens.
These forums own!
edit: re-flashing it went the same way, would hang on boot.
I've gona back to using:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
for the moment.
I'll look and see what it is I missed that stopped the energy rom from working as advertised.
Try installing the recommended Radio

I ran into the same problem and all I had to do was to get the phone into Bootloader and then flash the radio recommended by ROM Cook.
also the same problem
I have also this problem, but I think it's in the rom, when I installed the rom, everything seems ok, but after a reset, the screenthat I get is the white HTC screen.
After a hard reset it is ok, but after a reset it is the same problem.
Then I thought, i take an older rom, but when I've installed the rom he is automatic installing the cab file's at the end of the installation, and he's going to automatic reset the HD2. After the reset I have the same problem as with the new rom.
So the biggest problem is that I can't install another rom or radio because the rom don't start for 100%, and when I do a hard reset, after the reset at the end of the installation I get the white HTC screen.
What can I do, can I fix this problem?

RTFM. These constant posts about white screen hangs are really getting frustrating. Does nobody follow the forum rules of searching any longer? There's nothing wrong with the rom, the user on the other hand I'm not so sure of.
YOUR RADIO VERSION IS WRONG

If you bothered to read even just the last 5 pages of the Energy thread you would have seen probably 20 mentions of the problem. Energy rom won't work with a x.xx.51.xx radio.
I came across an HD2 with a broken USB port... ie i cannot charge through it or send/receive data through it. I can still use the phone by having a spare battery and an external battery charger
is there a way to install android on this without needing the USB port?
you need usb to install hspl, magldr and recovery....rom can be installed through sdcard...but to get there u need a usb..
changing usb port is easy if you know little bit of soldering and a spare usb head (you can get this in radioshack)...but u should know wat u r doing ...else u might damage the device
If you have HSPL installed, then you are lucky. You can Install cLK 1.5 from SD card with built-in recovery. Download from here.
Yeah, just dl clk1.5, extract the zip, copy the leoimg.nbh file to your sd, startup your mobile, press and hold the vol down key before starting (for ttricolored screen), and let it install clk (tricolored screen shoukd turn automaticly into grey and ask you if you want to install the.nbh file). Cwm comes with clk. And you can change the cwr(clockwork recovery) size via clk perfect ffor broken usb devices

Hi folks, I have a similar situation with a broken usb of a HD2. My radio is 2.05.51.05_2 and the SPL is 1.42.000. I don't have HSPL and I was wondering whether I can install any rom on it (wm6.5 or android). I am new to wm6.5, thus any suggestions would be great!

Unfortunately you can't install NAND Android as you can't install HSPL, however you can run SD Android. Just update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 via your SD card (search for a guide, something to do with downloading the package and renaming one of the files [I think RUU_Signed] to leoimg.nbh and flashing in bootloader). This will give you the required/compatible radio. Then just download an SD build, place it on the root of your SD card and run CLRCAD and HARET.
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I have already tried this approach with Artemis_v370_0409_WWE rom, but the phone gets stuck at "Loading..." on a gray screen. I also downloaded RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but as you might guess it was of no use due to the broken usb. Do you have any idea where I can find a stock 3.14 rom that can be installed as a .nbh?
Cheers

Here I think the process is the same, a custom ROM such as Artemis won't work as it requires HSPL
Thanks! The guide provides a link for for an official rom only in the end when stating "So, assuming you have flashed an official ROM over 2.10 via the SD card and you decide you want a custom ROM, follow these simple directions:
(You do not have to have your phone connected to your PC for these steps)
Download the "Official" ROM from here."
Yet, my rom is only 1.48. Should I flash it anyway?

I don't think it matters, but courtesy of mskip's tutorial here you can see that you have to:
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash
Thanks big time!!!
Lastly, which rom should I download? I heard some nasty things about bricking your phone by installing 2.08 or >2.10 through the sd method, but I didn't quite understand it...

Neither do I but if you've read about those issues then best not to do that. Basically use any ROM with a .50 Radio (it'll be in the name of the ROM) and you will be able to use SD Android
i dont think so....
Well, in fact, I was able to install wm6.5 v3.14 after I contacted HTC and they told me I need a Czech rom (?! ). After that my radio was 2.15.50.xx and now I am able to boot perfectly any SD Android rom! That's what I call a transformation!
The only problem I encounter is with Skype on every rom - it crashes and the mic works improperly.
