Is is possible to reflash ROM without the USB? - Touch HD General

Hi
Is it possible to reflash the ROM without using the USB as my device's USB is damaged, I can charge the battery but it cannot sync with a PC. The seller told me I have invalidated my warranty and will not fix it. So I need to reflash the ROM to it's original ROM.
Thanks

You can flash ROMs using the SD card, a quick search will tell you everything you need.

Thanks I'll give search a try... hopefully that will solve my problem.
HTC really sucks, they want me to pay about US$440 to fix the USB, I thought they were joking at first; I can nearly buy a new HD! I will not buy a HTC device again in future their support are a bunch of crooks.

1st one who killed the HD2 ;-(

I just HSPL my new T-Mobile 2.08 US HD2.
Worked soooo smooth. Thanks for that. Now the tricky part, I did not read detailed enough that the rom I flashed was a 1.66 based one.
now the HD2 is dead, no powerup, bootloader mode, reset or chargeing led.
Any way to safe it or back to t-mobile?
Thanks Guys
=( omg.... i was impatient too... I was downlaoding all these roms but remembered i didnt install the new HSPL thing.. and then i read the posts -_- sigh.. sorry man
I am so sorry man. Your best bet is to hope you can find a station where they'll work some factory reset magic on there...
Yeah. Sorry to hear that. I wish the SPL program would warn the user or refuse to install if it detected an old 1.66.
No brother
YWell Brother u and me both have to play the old hood wink on tmobile and play the it just died face so we can get a new one. Fortunatly we have 14 days if you kept your receipt, to take it back and nag saying it just shut of for no reason. Its hell of bricked, even HTC would have to completely take it apart to fix it, so no trace of anything would ever come back. the bad thing is their sold out everywhere till Tuesday or Wednesday. But ill wait its a bad ass phone. woooo! where do you live dude? in vegas?
I have read that you can microwave it for a few seconds and that kills it stone dead. No way they can tell what you flashed.
This is a very extreme method and an absolute LAST RESORT!!!!

remove your battery for 3 minutes and put it again and try ti lunch boot loader
Have you tried the SD card flash method.
You need to copy the original Tmob ROM file to your blank SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh (i Think), and then try start in bootloader.

Which hspl did you flash and which rom?
the new one for 1024 T-Mobile 2.08.
Thanks for all replies,
For the Microvawe version, if you smash it with a hammer, has the same effect. Go Green.
No kidding, I ask for a repair solution not a Brick it more.
Bootloader is not working at all, so no SD way as well. And a rom based on 1.66. Smart as I am, I deleted the file.
Like I said, HSPL was great. Was still working after that.

Is there any cooked German Rom that I can use on a USA T-Mobile HD2 based on 2.08?
To make my HD2 in German language?
(post removed, wrong thread)
This is why I'm choosing to wait a little bit before jumping in and flashing my TMOUS HD2. I don't have the 'cajones' to be a guinea pig! I'm waiting until everything plays out and the process is tried and proven safe.
For now I'm enjoying the stock TMOUS Rom, and applying tweaks here and there. I'm running into bugs and annoyances here and there, but don't feel a strong urge to flash roms just yet...especially when so many others are having issues!
Yeah, when it comes to the software side of this phone, I just take it all in with the regular rom and see what I REALLY want out of it as far as options and whatnot. THEN I get to the rom goodies after a lot of review and feedback.
Hardware I'll dissect the guts if I have to anyday though.

I think you'd be much better off browsing all the thread titles in the ROM Development section looking for a rom that is [GER] and [2.08+]/TMOUS based
As long as it's been taken off a TMOUS device, it will work on your TMOUS device

he he. I know it's hilarious. As I said, absolutely last resort if you are taking it back for warranty cos if they find any spl other than factory one your warranty is void straight off the bat. Nice to see you got a replacement without problems.
I just read that advice from another post here on the forum and it is way extreme!!!
As posted above - any rom based on tmous original roms should work. Good luck

YOU might use BSB Tweaks and choose manila language in the menu.
I bet it is based on the tool that downloads the needed manila files from the internet.
Try searching for the tool here on xda or use BSB tweak (but there is a solution to get it fully working german!)

I think someone installed spy software on my HTC HD2, how to detect/delete it?

Hi
Why i suspect this is another story, the thing is I think that one guy installed spy software on my HTC HD2 without my knowledge, how can i check if such software was installed and how to remove it?
I have windows mobile 6.5 on my HTC HD2
Cant say I've ever come across spyware on a phone before but either way I'd suggest just flashing a new rom to the phone to clean any current software off and also wipe your SD card.
hard reset !probably !!

The safest way is resetting your phone. Or you can bring your phone to the store and ask them to cheak it.

Hey , just get it out of your phone,then everything will be ok. 4 months ago, my father installed an iKeyMonitor on my phone and he knew whatever I does on my phone, and then my friend suggest me to uninstall it from my phone, then I use my phone safely.

[Q] [HELP] Sony xperia x10 - software update 2.1 - Quick question

Hi,
The usb port on my xperia x10 is broken (common issue apparently).. I'm currently on v1.61 and I was wondering how can I update the firmware to 2.1?
OTA says to connect the phone to the computer, but can't since the usb port does not work...
Is there a way to put it on the memory card and run the update??? or is there any other way I can get the firmware update?
Thanks again...
ooops should have gone in the questions forum.. sorry...
Erm a bit long winded but if you got a micro sd reader, take the memory card out and put in there, dowload, a rooting app, xrecovery and the 2.1 files from somewhere, like jerpeleas post, rename the 2.1 file update.zip and put it on the root of your memory card. Put the card back in the phone.
Run the root app to get superuser, install xrecovery, reboot and keep pressing back whilst booting phone back up. Then select install custom zip and select update.zip then let it flash
Hope this helps
Vengeance
Ps if its under warranty send it for repair

quick question.. where can i get xperia x10 rogers 2.1 firmware from? thanks again for your help...
Don't think it's possible as you need to kernel upgrade aswell.
Which I think need to be flashed with cable.
The fact that the USB port is broken is really serious. I will just give to you the quickest and best advice I can think about on this moment: take to your X10 to to get repaired.
Sorry mate, but I guess that's the best solution.

This. You'll need to use the cable to flash the kernal.

This is what you should have done when it broke.

Touch screen dead!

So the touch screen is not responding. I've read little blurbs here and there about quick fixes, but it looks like nothing is working for me. I've obviously voided my warranty by installing HSPL, MAGLDR and flashing NAND Android to the phone, so sending it back won't work. Do I need a new screen, or what?
You can revert it back to WM 6.5 and remove HSPL and send it back in.

What? Rephrase that in English please.
So can I fix the issue by replacing the digitizer? If so, they're really cheap on eBay.

Just stick a stock rom on your sd card named leoimg.nbh, then power into bootloader (hold vol down and then press power key, then release vol down once in bootloader).
Once you have windows on phone you can also use activesync or power into bootloader again to flash stock spl.
When you have virginized your phone send it back to htc/insurance or whatever.
I never got the insurance on it...oops

Posted. Thanks.
HD2 is known for having digitizer problems. A good repair shop will fix it for around $110. If your good at fixing things you can attempt to do this yourself and save about $50 or $60 in labor. I had mine repaired and it works and looks just like new. It took 3 days to get it back but only because they had to order the digitizer. And please dont believe the guy who said "another dead screen after flashing to nand", Flashing has nothing to do with it, its a hardware problem that affects hd2 users on ALL operating systems, look it up.
Looks like if you keep reflashing it, it works. WP7 works for me 100% so far. It is totally a software issue.

Damn, how in the world did you destroy your motherboard? Were you messing about with voltages and the like?
You should try flashing CheckRom Revolution from the android development section, that's the one I use and it's awesome!

That just sounds like things when wrong in the /efs folder when you flashed, which will cause that problem I believe. You should backed up the folder so if that does happen, you could just restore your efs/ folder again, and things should have been hunky dory. I use this tool to back up my /efs folder, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
I suggest you might want to read this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/backup-and-restore-your-efs-folder-on-samsung-devices/
Candanga said:
Why the /efs folder?
This is a very sensitive system folder that contains Phone-specific information such as the IMEI (encrypted in the nv_data.bin), wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin), and much more. Often users trying to change product codes or trying to unlock the mobile will end up corrupting data in this location.
Why back it up?
Well, let’s resume it saying that backing-up this little folder will keep you away from Samsung service centers.

Im confused now, they told me that that was hardware issue with motherboard, how could something about software help me with that?

Just from how you described what happened, a problem with the /efs sounded like the most likely cause of your problem. Obviously I don't have your device so I can't tell you what actually happened. The problem of your phone not reconsigning your sim after flashing is the main symptom of a corrupt or damaged /efs folder, that's why I thought to suggest you back up your /efs folder, so if it was your problem last time, and it happens again, you can just restore the folder and things should be fine.
Ok, I will think about that but Im scared to death of paying $200 again :S
If your aint 100% confident on flashing, you shouldnt be flashing anything.

I suspect they were lying, but I'm no computer engineer or technician. I just cannot see your phone sending high enough voltages or enough heat, to physically damage your motherboard. Nor can I see how flashing a rom through CWM messing with your bootloader.
