[Q] Flashing Telstra ROM to an Oficial ROM - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Hey Guys
I've tried to flash my HD2 to a official ROM using HSPL, however it fails
(im guessing from a incorrect radio firmware).
i also tried Dutty's and Miri's ROMs but they stall at 0% indefinitely.
what can i try to get rid of this awful telstra GUI and bloatware?

You need to go the gold card route which is here:

It's abit more detailed or you can hardspl which is easier and ad a custom rom which is what I plan on doing when my hd2 arrives but from what I hear, none of the customer roms work as well as an original rom..?

My Telstra HD2 worked perfectly with HSPL and this ROM.
My girlfriend's worked perfectly as well.
Are you sure you're not doing it wrong?

Sorry, but goldcard generation had to be taken off due to recent website hacks.

for cooks?
i am downloading this right now, but is it a flashable rom or for cooking use? i am always down to try a cooked rom and even more apt to flash an official rom. will have to wait for the download to finish to see.
is it WWE ?
Thanks Huda.
Regards.
Thanks.
Yes, it's WWE, because it's from T-Mobile USA.
Wonder, if there will be european (official) versions of the 2.xx Roms.
Thanks at least we can get some stuff from the OEM with this one. I'm sure it is WWE since it is TMOUS.

so when it does finally finish downloading (internet at work slower than sin), is it flashable straight to the phone?
Yep it is really fast too although it has lots of links to games and even what i think are both transformers movies which would be on the storage card =/
It should be since it is a ship .exe file. But I'm wondering about if you have HSPL will it still flash the SPL or not? I don't think so but not sure. I know with HSPL you can flash factory ROM's and it doesn't erase the HSPL.
25 mins then its mines, want the OEM and OemXipKernal

Stock Roms will only overwrite HardSPL with the stock SPL if flashed via microSD Card. Thats the only way to get everything back to factory settings for warranty purposes.

Should i just flash this straight to my phone or use HSPL?
So being that this is a time-bombed, one time boot ROM it's not really worth anything but cooking. There was a way with 2.02 to flash off of memcard so that it wasn't a one time boot. I know because I did it. Is there a way to do it with this one as well? Thanks for the post.

If you already have HardSPL then you can just synch and run the exe file to flash it directly. No need to extract the nbh or use customruu
You wont be able to flash it without HardSPL and I wouldnt recommend trying.
Has a few new programs I havent seen on before. Also includes Microsoft Voice Command v1.6.21889 which I havent seen on any other roms (unless I just have bad vision lol). 576MB Ram present and correct. Visual VoiceMail?? No eReader Tab as on 2.05 though.
Thanks alot mate Intresting stuff. Could any one test the rotation of this manila?

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.

I laughed my ass off so hard at that comment!
So I got it exchanged, I did the Hard spl and its fine so far. Still working.
Dont want to brick it again,
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!)

NO...do NOT flash a HTC Leo stock ROM on your T-Mobile HD2...
There is only one stock ROM upgrade for that phone, and it's available directly throught the support page for it on t-mobile.com.
There are plenty of custom ROM's you can apply to your T-Mobile HD2, but make sure they SPECIFICALLY say they're for the Tmo model vs. the regular Leo.
I Would recommend Energy Rom or Kumars rom. Energy has been rockin for me the past week.Trust me custom roms make this phone a whole different beast. Remember to flash a new rom you have to have HSPL3 flashed first. This may be why you didn't brick your phone when you tried to flash they Euro HD2 rom which will brick your phone. ALWAYS STAY IN THE TMOBILE ROM SECTION FOR HD2. While they are nearly the same phone they are different and you will brick your phone trying to run EURO HD2 roms on your TMO HD2. We got the good one too, we got 1GB of memory where they got 512MB. poor guys.

[Q] HSPL

Hey guys, I got a question.
After installing HSPL, than I should get the cooked rom. What I'm getting is
Miri HD2 V18
After I run the CustomRUU it should update right?
What if anything happens while updating? This will brick the device.. Or if anything goes wrong, I can just plug it back in the PC, and click the customRUU again?
Also, can I flash it back to a official HTC Rom if I want to? or no after I use the HSPL. Edit: seems like I can't find the OFFICIAL HTC ROM from HTC site. It said it does not support Tmobile HTC HD2. Anyone mind giving it to me too? ^^
Please help, thanks!
Bump. If I install HSPL will I brick the phone of flashing rom failed?

STOP!
there are NO official HTC roms that work on the tmous. ONLY the t mobile us official roms from the t mobile website (or here) work.
ALL others WILL KILL your phone.
You can ONLY use tmous official roms, or cooked roms that say they are tmous compatible,

[WARNING][SOLVED] Installing New T-Mobile update for HD2 disables HSPL

T-mobile sent me a text this morning about a major update.... I fell for it! Once installed it try's to prevent custom ROM installs. I was unable to back to energy ROM see attatched pic
Didn't it just wipe your HSPL? Did you try and run HSPL3 again?
Boot loader still displays HSPL but will give it a shot. bastards!
Thanks
I don't know if the T-Mobile version use the same SPL version as the Europe/Asian on (SPL 3.03)
But if this is the case, there isn't a HSPL version who is compatible with the new SPL 3.03 version jet.
So don't use HSPL, and remove HSPL before installation of this Rom!!!
You are using a wrong CustomRUU Flashing utility.
Use the one specific for HD2.
Removed HSPL and re-applied before I saw post about incompatibility... yep does not work... no custom ROM for me for a while looks like

I am using the one that worked last night and is packaged with Energy... so if you have any suggestions on which one you might be reffering to would be much appreciated.
If you have removed HSPL, and you will install a custom Rom use the SSPL procedure to install custom Rom.
Like I mentioned before I can't test it fore you (Belgium device) but on the European version I can get custom Rom on this way! (by using SPL 3.03)
Hope this can help you out.

Try with attached and let us know.
Also, try to post a screenshot of your boot screen. It may help for some solution.
I had no issues installing the T-Mobile rom, running Task29 and then flashing radio 2.15.50 and CleanEx Ultra custom rom.
I did this all via USB cable

Try HSPL3, & select to update to 2.08HSPL from scroll down list.
It may take longer but should work.
If no, then you may need to use SD card flashing method with your original regional ROM.
