I am trying to install a a new rom on my Leo, I sync my device then run SSPL_RUU it starts fine then it puts my Leo into Boot mode then it says " ERROR (206): CONNECTION
The update Utlilty cannot connect to you PDA,Please check that between the PC and your PDA Phone" your USB cradle/cable is connected properly" I have tried anothe USB port but still the same thing, the PC and Loe do connect as I have just synced them so I don't understand the problem, I am running windows 7....

try :
on the htc :
Start
setting
other
USB to PC
and enable faster data sync...
hope that help you.

Thank you I will try that now and will update in a few minutes..

NO still no good same thing again, it's a pain as it keeps leaving my phone in bootloader mode so I have to keep removing the battery...

Hi
Step 1: Right click on SSPL and "run as administrator" it will be do the job.
If you get an error then Disconnect the cable and reconnect then run the Step 1 again.
Good luck

Thank you I will try that now..

It didn't work I did it twice but still the same, I am at my wits end with this arghhh....

If you use a USB Hub then try use the usb port from the motherboard.
OR
Try to Install HSPL first. then Install any roms with Custom ruu. Please read the thread before you use them. They all explained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Good luck

1) To install this HSPL there must be SPL 1.42.0000 on your device.
Otherwise the installation will fail!
To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM
with this SPL version.

For instance my is SPL 1.42.6666 and I have same problem.
Troubleshooting:
* I have SPL 1.42.666 on the device.... !!!! WAIT !!!! SPL 1.42.6666 is not the version of the SPL on your device!... it is the SSPL version. Most likely you have the needed 1.42.0000 SPL on the device, just try to install this HSPL if you need it. Don't worry, if there is not the right SPL on the device, then u will get an error message, but nothing will happen to your device

I had same kind of problem, I also run windows 7 I simply swaped to a different usb plug and then it worked fine. I was useing the plugs on the frount of pc's case so I wonder if the internal cable has a small problem or somthing as all other things work fine from that plug.
Hope that may help you.

Imanaged to get HSPL on my device and I manged to flash the rom to this one " Touch-IT Black Leo HD2 - updated " and it seems really good, the question I would like to ask now is how do I put the original rom back should I need to for warrenty issues? also does this mean that I can now use all the other roms that are on here? and is there a rom that anyone would highly recomend? Thanks for all the help that has been given to me, this really is a great forum with really helpful people...

Wel done
If you want to uninstall the HSPL then follow this
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.
Recommend any roms is not easy because it depends your usage pattern. Therefore read more in the LEO threads before you choose to download any rom.
Now you have HSPL therefore you can install any rom from here
Good luck
ALWAYS USE SEARCH FUNCTION HERE AND YOU WILL FIND ANSWERS.

Thank you for explaining everything in a way that I can understand, I am not very techy so understanding exactly what to do when written is very important so thanks again..

Please help {SOLVED}

HTC HD2 now has hspl on it tried to update rom i start the image update gets about half way, then syas
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL
RADIO_V2 - RSA FAIL
Update terminate
UPDATE FAIL

When you enter Bootloader mode, just to be sure, what is shown for the SPL version?
You need HSPL 1.42.0000 on your device in order to flash successfully.
You must also flash a Radio version next and not a custom ROM version.
1. Download your required Radio and rename the extracted file to RUU_Signed.nbh
2. Sync your phone with the PC
3. Run CustomRUU.exe from the Radio's Folder and follow the instructions (if one isnt included then download it here)

don't instal from sd card.why would you?
instal hspl, flash rom/radio using usb,job done.

just to un confuse that statement, you need it too say in boot loader
spl 1.42.HSPL
and NOT
spl 1.42.0000

this is what im stuck with i cant boot the phone, to get it to sync with the pc

What error code do you receive when it fails to flash?
Try the following:
1. Download orginal ROM from HTC.com
2. Remove HTC Battery
3. Remove SD-Card
3. Connect the Phone via USB to Computer
4. Start-up the phone in Bootloader mode wuth the Tree-color screen
5. If everything is right, in the bottom you will see USB
6. Start-up the update on your computer (ROM you've downloaded from htc.com)
7. Run the Update
8. Your phone should now boot after it installs
9. Place the battery and SD-Card back in the Phone
If that works, first flash to a Radio version from the link specified above (in post #2), and then you can flash to a custom ROM.

No need to sync with the pc, provided when connected to the pc it shows usb at the bottom of that screen you can still flash.

just got home, on my pc just managed to change my radio got to be something wrong with the girlfriends laptop keep you posted and thank you so much for helping me folks

guys i love you so much you just saved my life thank you so much all sorted now. next time i will be more carefull

Ok, yeah..i bricked it..

So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.

phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.

Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.

Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.

get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again

yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state

Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?

So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet

What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first

Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?

ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.

Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme

What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?

All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM

I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom

Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...

I think my phone is bricked? please help

Everytime I turn on my phone, it goes straight into bootloader mode. I don't know what to do. I've been trying to google for the past hour or so, and no luck. Can anybody help?

Could be that your vol down button is stuck, try pressing and releasing quickly a few times ...just a thought!
PS. Your phone is not bricked if you can get to boot loader!!!

i tried that, and it didnt work. any other ideas?

can anyone please help?

Maby you don't have an OS. So try to flash a stock rom.
Sorry for bad english.

i tried that, but it either loses connection or it will say something about, how the the version of the o.s doesnt work for my phone. also on the phone itself, when it tries to download the rom, where a htc image is normally there, it isnt.
i have no idea what to do

It would be helpful to understand what you were running on your phone before the problem occurred?
The Bootloader you are seeing - I assume it is the hacked Cotulla one?
If you connect your phone to a PC does the bootloader screen show "USB" rather than serial?
If you have Cotulla bootloader and USB connection to PC, I'd start again with a clean install....not sure what you were using...but Typhoon is nice and Stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
It has a "clean installation" guide that you can follow....

HTH.

I was trying to reinstall a stock gingerbread o.s on the phone, but something happened, and it wouldn't allow me to. So i just wanted to reinstall stock tmobile rom, and install android after that.
Yes i have cotulla bootloader, and whenever the phone starts up, it says serial, but it ill change to usb when i plug it in.

i couldnt open the pdf file.

If you are getting errors while flashing the stock ROM, as in windows mobile, then 99% of the time you have bad NAND memory and the phone needs to be jtaged or the motherboard needs to be replaced. Ive experienced a lot of these similiar threads over on PPCGeeks with the HTC Touch Pro 2

whenever the image file tries to update through bootloader i get an error/update image fail due to the radio i think. it says its spl 2.08 hspl, i tried uninstalling hspl but that didnt work. what could be the problem? or am i pretty much out of luck?

Well this thread gives step by step instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11097380
you have HSPL, so you need to task29, MAGLDR, CWM and then a ROM.....it'll be interesting to see if you get anywhere....
Suggest following it step by step and seeing what happens before we write off your phone!

im not able to install magldr or a new rom, it either loses connection, or says it isnt compatible

Well if you have Cotulla HSPL, and USB shown on that screen, and are connected to your PC and Task29 is not running then I'm afraid I'm out of knowledge....
Sorry.

so i found that i have a ruunbh error, what do i have to do in order to fix this?

with ruunbh I suggest you go back and flash a stock WM rom.
That has worked for some.
If that gets you back running (at winmo 6.5) then you need to start the Android process again....
......By starting with HSPL and moving on through task29, radio, magldr, clockworkmod and a android rom.
going back to winmo is described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935145&highlight=stock+rom
Let's see if you can go back to winmo first!

it keeps giving me an update error, when i try to install a custom wm rom and official rom any other suggestions?

So of the steps below....where and what is the update error?
--------------------------
If you are using a 512MB ROM HD2, just download the official firmware from HTC's website. The recommendation is to use a 1.xx or 2.xx ROM, do not use a 3.xx ROM.
Download 7-zip, make sure it is 9.20 version and up.
Using 7-zip, open the official ROM update exe file. Do not execute it.
Inside you will see RUU_signed.nbh, extract just that file. Nothing else.
rename RUU_signed.nbh, to LEOIMG.nbh
Copy LEOIMG.nbh into your SD card root directory which is FAT16 or FAT32 formatted.
Unplug the battery from the HD2, count to 10, replace the battery.
Hold the VOLUME DOWN button, DO NOT LET GO.
Press the POWER BUTTON, then let go.
Follow the instructions on the screen when the device goes to RECOVERY mode.

im using tmobile u.s version

You really like being brief don't you.

[Solved] Touch HD bricked????

I`m writing this after almost a full day of searching and testing with no luck.
I have friend who tried to upgrade Rom into his Touch HD and failed.
Right now all the phone does is to start in tricolor menu. I have tried several Roms but when trying to flash they get stuck at 0% and after a while it ends up with error 262. Same thing happens when trying to upgrade to HSPL also (i do not have a working Rom on this phone, just a tricolor menu which starts automatically when phone started ). I have tried to flash rom with SD card (2Gb), and with Ruu with Win7 and XP.
Info :
Blac100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) V6
How can i recover this phone? Can anyone pls help me ?
I have attached a Print screen of my folder dedicated to this phone. Everything there i have tried.

oh my god...you tried to flash a ROM without SPL!? are zou crazy? first you have to flash HSPL, search for the latest spl 1.56 olinex and when you get the (.nbh) file, name it to Blacimg.nbh and put on SD card (on root!) then it will appear a confirming message to install the .nbh, and you confirm.
note: not having HSPL is pratically the same thing has having a locked bootloader...

Yes i know... not me was the one who tried... i have received it like this, and trying to recover it. The idea is when trying to install HSPL it get stuck at 0%, and the alternate method implies booting into system... but i do not have a system on device. I have also tried to download the official rom from HTC website.... and after 1% it says "invalid vender ID".

Flash SPL from sd card. Name the file as BLACimg.nbh and put on sd root. Then enter Tricolor screen (If it doesnt go automatically) and confirm the flashing. Then SEE If you get the htc logo and a empty shell ( black screen) . If you do good, now normally Flash a ROM ( you can use sd method or throug pc
---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------
If it doesnt work try another sd

This what i`m trying, but it get stuck to "loading" . I have downloaded "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex" , started "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe" , nbh file apeared in same folder, copied to SD (formated to Fat32, default alocation unit) started phone, gone in tricolor then "loading" message on screen and nothing else (for 10 minutes already).

hmmm... keep waiting

finaly solved
I have finaly solved it. First you need Windows XP on PC. Download USPL 2.5 and open a CMD window. Start utility to upgrade to HSPL OLINEX and after presing update , and progres bar apears on phone execute fast the uspl in cmd window (otherwise it will say it cannot open USB port). After this you phone will reboot in tricolor but instead of SPL you will se USPL 1.14. Disconect usb from phone and reconect it, now it should say is connected to USB. Relaunch the HSPL update utility and wait to get to 100%. When done phone will reboot into system (if you have any).

its a way, but you could simply flash hspl trough sd (use other sd if that doesnt work, I needed to cange too!)

Believe me ! i have tried with four different SD cards, one of them indeed did not worked (a 4Gb). I do not know exactly what happened to the phone but it was impossible to flash anything to that phone (except some shipped roms witch would fail after 1% with invalid vender ID on pc and some 28008 error via card) . As i said one post earlier, the only way was via USPL, witch needed a workaround method (because it too failed with "could not access usb port" error). And the USPL worked only on Win XP and had a very narrow time window to execute the file (to have the USB port accessible ). After changing to SPL 1.56 Olinex phone booted with the old WM 6.1 stock. But i have changed 3 other roms after that, finally settling to energy Rom. With Olinex i had no problem at all flashing the Roms. I have even flashed a new radio, with absolutely no problem. Don't know what was the problem exactly, but the old SPL 1.54 had some serious issues !
I`m just glad i have revived this phone (witch btw, is not even mine)....

the old SPL, was locked lol. It's the stock SPL straight from HTC. But doesnt matter, good thing you solved your problem

Wow, thanks alot for this post. I've done the same thing as you and crashed my HTC. Problem solved with Win XP, but more simple. Just executed USPL.exe and, job done. I think in Win7 was the problem with certified drivers. Think that can be solved in a fresh instalation of Win7 but not with certified microsoft drivers or HTC Sync installed. Anyways thanks alot. You've been a lifesaver.
