Having a few problems

I have been searching the forums for about an hour trying to figure these things out.
Previously I rooted my phone back when JF was the only ROM out and I didn't keep up with it.
Now I see that there's all these new different kinds of roms and its pretty confusing.
So far what I have been trying to do is start from the beginning because I don't know what is updated and what isn't.
Trying to un-root my phone, was following this thread. I believe I was able to update the original SPL that is in the sticky thread in development by doing the update. After that I was trying to get into bootloader to load the DREAIMG.nbh and it would just show the tri-color screen and nothing else. I hit the power button as it said on that thread but nothing showed up, waited about 30 minutes. So I restarted and tried a few times, no luck.
I reboot my phone once more and let it boot up normally and my old ROM is still intact, just wiped. I decided to just try to update to the SuperHero Full ROM and reading the thread it says newest SPL is required, which I can't seem to find which one is the newest.
Any direction or if I'm doing this wrong would be nice to know. Thanks for any help you can give.

that is the newest signed SPL. flash that, then install hero, along with a wipe to make sure you have no problems, and you should be good. as far as your flashing problem, what exactly are you doing?

I was trying to flash it back to RC29 and was having issues

issues with what? i dont know what the problem is unless you tell me
if it is a flashing issue for the SPL, there are many threads in the dev section.... as far as downgrading, there is another thread over in the dev section, go check them out

I followed the downgrading or unrooting thread.
When I try to downgrade to RC29 in bootloader, it goes to a tri-color screen with just Serial0 in the middle with the Radio version and such, then does nothing else. I'm going to try skipping downgrading, wanted to start from scratch but I will just try to switch from my ROM to SuperHero's and see how it goes.
update: I did the SPL update from that link and now its stuck on the boot screen (G1 logo)

Are you able to enter into recovery? (Power on while holding the home key) if so, place the rom of your choice (something other than the Hero Rom until you are sure you have the latest SPL and radio) on your sd card, name it update.zip wipe then apply the update. This should get you up and running. Also? Which radio do you have?

Was it haykuro's SPL? Can you get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?

if it's haykuro's spl...
Hopefully, you READ & FOLLOWED the directions and flashed the RADIO first, then flashed the SPL. If you did not, then your phone is bricked.

if u cn get into recovery reflash ur rom. and like everyone else says hope u flashed the radio 1st

I did the radio first
I was able to boot into recovery, i tried a wipe and a few things but couldnt get it.
Eventually I got it by reflashing cyanogenmod.

The SPL wipes the ROM, so after flashing the SPL you would need to reflash >.>

This may sound like a silly question but please forgive me as I have not yet flashed the haykuro spl.
Once you've flashed the new spl, instead of flashing the update.zip of the cyanogen rom, can't you use nandroid restore? Or will that restore the previous spl as well (in my case HARD SPL)?
I ask because I would like to try the spl, but I'm so comfortable with my rom and settings that I would hate to wipe just to try Hero which is still in development. Call me crazy, but I like stable and finished builds. But I am curious and with a lot of time on my hands but not so much that I'm willing to lose everything just to try something that I'm not going to keep.

I'm not actually sure about using nandroid after the SPL flash, but I'm certain that nandroid doesn't copy your SPL (I could be wrong). It would make sense for it to work.

i update inly spl from 1.33.0009 to 1.33.1000 and when its boot greeze in vodafone logo
what happend?

I HAd The Same Issue, BUT YOU DIDNT BRICK YOUR PHONE all YOu Need To Do Is Flash The Rom , Thats The Resone Its Stayin On The Boot Screen Because Of No ROm Installed So Go Into Recovery >connect Your phone> choose usb toggle in recovery> (if on your pc you need a drivers, try putting the sdcard iin a next phone and connect it to the cpu> drag your rom to your sdcard (ROOT NOT IN A FOLDER) and flash it wen it boot first its gonna take long but dont worry it would come on :good:

G1 Wont boot after SPL Update

So, I have just made a couple of changes to my phone. My mistake is that I did it all at the same time. So I dont know what fu***ed it up !
1. I formated the ext2 partition to ext3
2. I added a linux Swap partition (104Mb)
3. I loaded the CN 1.4 Recovery image
3. I installed the SPL 1.33.2005
I have been using JF 1.51 and I was having some issues after a recent corruption so I thought I will try JacHero 1.7 since I was planning on a clean install anyway. So the new SPL was for the Jachero rom.
Anyway, why i think the issue happened while flashing the SPL its because after I flashed the CN Recovery screen came up and it said "Formatting Cache" and it stayed on that screen for like 15 min. and I thought ok, it must be done and the Recovery menu was active so I just scrolled to reboot after which I was never able to boot past T-Mobile G1 screen.
I did eventually update to JacHero 1.7 after a wipe but still didnt seem to work. Still stuck at boot screen.
Any ideas ?
Any help is appreciated !!
Thanks.

If its the spl I know that one if I rem was the tricky one that couldnt be downgraded or so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517593 is the only thread on top of my head I can link you to. Hopefully it helps.

Sometimes the only way the danger spl will take is if you rename it to update.zip and click on apply sdcard update zip. Try doing that and see, also try a non hero rom and see if it boots, if it does and a hero won't chances are it was the spl

ITS WORKING !!
So I kept on messing around, I went into the SPL settings pressed lots of keys (not much clue wut i was doing) and I tried a couple of restarts and after messing around with everything.......somehow it booted into the new Hero rom (Dont ask me how !) but it was completely screwed up. Meaning, This HTC screen is the only thing I can see. If i turn off the screen and turn it back on, I will see the unlock screen of Hero (which looked really cool) but as soon as I unlock im back to this wierd HTC black screen where nothing happens!!.
Soooo I went back into the recovery mode and tried the nandroid restore option (AGAIN) only this time it went through and completed the recovery ! (It wouldnt do that the last 3 times i tried) and now I back to my JF 1.51
Not really sure if I still want to try Hero anymore

and thanks alot guys for your quick responses......I REALLY Appreciate it.
Thanks again for your help !

It's up to you, cyanogen just came out with donut in his expermental line of roms so now we are gonna be passed cupcake roms soon

Screen freezes on splash HTC HD2

Had before the ENERGYROMS, but my HD2 (leo) was hanging over- and over, so I've read about TASK29.
Well I just downloaded it, extracted somewhere and followed all instructions, but now after using TASK29 I only get the splashscreen.
Is there any way to solve this?
Before I had Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.UI.Jun.02, HSPL2 and Leo_Radio_15.40.50.07U_2.11.50.20.
I'm a bit desperate now, anyone who knows what the **** I bricked now?
Cheers

when you flashed energy you probably forgot to flash a compatible radio.
go into boot loader, flash any radio mentioned in the energy posts (you did read EVERY word in thee first few posts, right? cos only noobs skip straight to the download without reading first....)
once the radio is flashed go back into boot loader and flash energy.

Maybe it's not bricked yet - remove the battery, let it cool down for some 15 minutes, than try again?

Jo mate, no as I said; I had an Energyrom AND the correct radio (newest), but I had problems with hanging homescreens etc, so it was so annoying that I was looking for a good way to solve it. So someone said here that I had to download TASK29 and CLEAN the whole HD2 and after that install the ENERGYROM again so it would be all refreshing as new. But now it doesn't work, after using TASK29, at all! I'm ****ed

You have reflashed the Radio and the Rom you want after the task29 havent you? if you have, try flashing a HTC Stock rom. If that works then flash back to the Rom u want.
But it's almost certainly because you dont have the correct Radio Rom on.

yea, what the_ape said.
when you task 29 it wipes the phone so it won't boot.
enter bootloader and flash your rom.

basically repeating what Sam said but looks like you don't have a ROM on your phone at all now, just flash the ROM you want again and all will be good

Thanks people, gonna try it within an hour, I will let you guys know if it's gonna work

[Help] Phone wont boot.

Hi, after hours of researching to find the problem, i cant find it so as my last resort i will ask the mighty forums if there is anything they can do about it.
The problem is that its stuck in a boot loop, i can get in to bootloader and Hboot.
When i press to go in to recovery its just goes to the HTC logo and stays there.
When i try to do a factory reset same thing happened.
Anyway, the facts.
Its a DHD it used to have leedroid latest as rom, atm i have no idea it is supposed to be 1.32 stock rom for rooting and RADIO-26.14.04.28_M, kernel was also leedroid recommended but i guess that also is 1.32 stock.
It was ENG S-OFF but then i tried some PD98IMG and it changed to SHIP S-OFF
Things that i have tried.
Tried different PD98IMG to get the recovery working but nothing same thing happened there.
Tried patched/flashed the recovery part only with no luck.
Tried to get into recovery through pulling the battery inserting the usb and then inserting the battery again, no luck.
The odd thing is when i try to charge the phone and the led goes orange and when i pull the usb out it stays orange, it should turn off.
I suppose i ****ed something over but i have no clue of what that is?!?
Help would be most appreciated

I'm suggesting everyone to give this method a try although i have no experience with it but since it can be used to recover using computer i believe recovery isn't necessary here so that you can recover the firmware using the PC.
Hope this helps

Done and failed, same problem no difference what so ever.

SHIP S-OFF is OK!! U got it m8!
If you want to use your own Image do it within this way:
1. Flash this: http://www.multiupload.com/FKJ8B7Q0QM
and after this:
2. Flash this: http://www.multiupload.com/AURLLESU5V
And enjoy it! I don't know why the PD98IMG is not working on your device so I recomend to flash the RUU. Within the RUU you will also get the latest firmware for phone and wifi and so on. It's not a need, it's a must!
The 2nd ROM is same as above but it's ROOTED and contains the 4ext Recovery which will give you the option to flash whatever you want.
BUT!!! This ROM's are ORIGINAL. If you want to use a CUSTOM ROM I would recomend you will format your device by the 4ext Recovery or you are using the FULL WIPE 1.5.
Regards!

Sorry for the insane delay.
That did not work either, anyone else have any idea what to do, installing through PD98IMG.zip files seams not to work, will at this point do anything.
I'am a student so buying a new one is out of the question.

I tend to have to see things to understand them more. Maybe other people are similar. Is it possible you can video the process, put it on YouTube and some of the experts here can see it and talk you through it?

Here's me trying factory reset but failed, stuck at the same place as before.
youtube.com/watch?v=aZF1ALz0Z-w
Here is where i go into fastboot, just to show that i can do it and then back again to try recovery, same problem...
Anymore info you need, next time i will answer much faster, anyway there the problem it gets stuck on HTC logo forever, no restart no nothing...

when you flashed PD98IMG.zip does it give you a cid error?. If this is the error then a gold card needs to be made for your device first, then you flash the RUU.

Back again.
No CID error, its skips something called TP when i try to flash it.
I can use any simcard, its an unbranded phone i believe.
And also if it is to any help, when i plug my charger in the phone and then back out again, the little orange led keeps emitting light, as if it stills charging.

My English is not very good.
I want to know what did you do for it before its stuck in a boot loop?
You can get into HBOOT and connect the phone to the computer,then try to run RUU.Before you do this,make sure you have make golden card.

Try another pd zip..i came across a few corrupt ones,the answers in this site somewhere alterbatively google the sentence you want the answer to..or the key words,if the systems still working theres a 98% chance youll get it going boot loops from what i see are just a file or something causing chaos..once its gone voila.
Good luck

Enter hboot and paste exactly what it says in there.
SHIP AND ENG don't matter as long as it's S-OFF. If you can't access recovery and if you're unable for some reason to flash a PDimg, download AAHK and use it to unroot. That will hopefully get you into the stock ROM and S-ON of course.
Use AAHK again to root. You will still have access to your stock ROM.
Now here's the tricky part. If the phone won't boot at all that probably means there's nothing to boot at all. Happened to me a lot of times. If you can still get into hboot then don't panic. See if AAHK will help you out.
