What have you tried? Have you pulled your USB out of Phone and PC?
Have you soft reset your phone?
Put a bit more detail and we can help
ok so first i used the Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex with ActiveSync and that worked fine. Then I moved the BLACIMG.nbh into the BlackstoneRUUWrapper to install the new ROM, and that worked fine too, 100%. Then I removed the USB cable and restarted the device. Now I am noticing that the device is working properly for maybe 10 secs, but then it freezez, and I have to resett it

Usually after a flash its recommended to Hard reset atleast 2 times did you do that?
Did you follow crackwhores instructions completely?
When I have flashed I wait till the finish screen on pc shows the phone should shut down and restart itself thats when i disconnect USB
when phone shows welcome screen i pull battery out and hard reset
oh so when everything is finished, and there is the FINISH screen on the PC, you should take the battery out and hard reset! Did not do this. New to all this. Managed to connect my device again by USB, and putting Miri's WM 6.5. Will hard reset after that

No Problem
I have been help all through this site
its great bunch of people
Hi Ozmoran
I still have problems with my device, first it works for a number of minutes, then freezes, then after around 5 minutes comes back to normal. And secondly, cannot get my reception to work, ie cannot receive calls and messages at the moment. Its asking me, "Do you want to turn the phone on?" and when i click on yes, nothing happens.
This is the exact procedure I am following:-
1) Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex. After 100%, I click on Finish on the PC, and remove USB cable. I remove the battery off and on again and I hard reset (from the small button on the back right?)
2) I do the same procedure for BLACIMG.nbh and that works fine too, 100% finished.
After this, first I notice that the colours are not vivid colours, but like an old PC colours, so i turn off and on the device (from the button at the top). Then after loading, its asking me to click on the "+" to align the screen, which I do, follow the next screen, and the ROM is working.
However as I said, sometimes its unresponsive, and cannot get reception from my mobile provider.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help, I am a complete newbie
ok found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
will follow it this eve and see what happens
Reason you are experiencing this discolourization and not reception/signal is due to you most likely not following flashing procedure properly and possibly using wrong HSPL before flashing rom.
You need to use HSPL 1.56 to flash a 1.56+ based rom. Any previous version you need to use 1.14 HSPL.
I notice you have already found cRaCKwHoRe's guide. If you follow it, you will be fine. If you get stuck, just post a query inhis thread and someone will help you!!
great
i downloaded everything from that post and will do it this evening since the phone is at home.
Hopefully I can use my phone again very soon
If you also read this section in the wiki, it refers to your greenish discolourization as well and offers assistance. Though if you follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide you'll be fine
thanks guys
any preference on any particular ROMS that are popular?
I was going to try Miri's WM6.5

Good rom to start with if you want wm6.5, would also try EnergyROM HD by NRGZ28. Both excellent roms. As for wm6.1, IMHO Duttys is the best.
For you, I would try each and make your own opinion
Thanks
Will try Miri than and see how it goes
Last question (hopefully), once I will install the Hard SPL, there is no need to install it again if I want to flash the ROM again right? Just install the ROM i want
Thanks a lot for all your help!

Yes, once you install HSPL its permanent and you have no need to re-install it. You can restore default SPL at a later stage if you want.
USPL is temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash to new radio or rom
If I were you, I'd read up on both USPL & HSPL in the wiki for a better understanding before you jump in head first!!
yeah i will read more about it, just wanted to experiment.
Thanks for all your help!
Hey guys
managed to do it! Flashed the ROM and working perfectly now!
Thanks a lot for your help and time
Firstly sorry for the long post.
I'm having a few problems with my HD2, and I'm looking solutions that dont involve flashing the t-mobile ROM (which is 1.43.110.2). I have all the HTC patches installed.
The problems I'm having are ...
*Favourites are disappearing sporadically. I cant figure out whether they're going when I sync it up or just purely at random. They stay on the internet tab but disappear from the favourites menu. Folders are not affected.
*Music player: Lags. I have to wait about 2-3 minutes before a song starts playing on the first attempt, then its fine. This happens even if the little spinning circle hasn't appeared (this appears after you have updated the storage card by syncing with media player). Also when sliding album art back and forth in landscape mode, it freezes, and then jumps back to the beginning of the stack. Didn't used to do this.
*Music Sync - my biggest nightmare right now; I really need help on this one! Sync in windows 7 windows mobile device manager works fine. When I load up WM player and attempt to sync the storage card however, the device will sync for a couple of minutes, and then soft reset itself.
Hopefully when 6.5.3 comes out officially HTC will roll up all the crappy patches and T-mobile will approve it... but until then I'm stuck with these annoyances (in addition of course to crappy SMS, constant crashing, lags etc., which I certainly wasn't expecting when I got my shiny new HD2
I was in a similar boat to you. The Tmo ROM is really poor and I hate to tell you this but 1.48 or 1.61 are the answer.
If you really can't consider that option, I'd say that you should do a hard reset and see what issues you still have with a fresh ROM. The original T mo ROM is on here somewhere. download that as a backup before you do anything, just for safety.
realy sorry mate but he is right try and see if you can get hole of a free goldcard i run 1.48 insted of t-mob its not purfect but worls alot better
Thanks for your responses. I guess flashing is the only option, cos right now this phone really is virtually unusable. I'll have to try and get my head around the whole goldcards thing but if I get stuck I'll start a new thread...
Thx!

Hi mate, had the same issue. The gold card thing isn't too bad, theres a great idiots guide on here that I used, the hardest bit is getting the number off the MicroSD card, dont do what I did and lose all my data on it (as you edit some values which makes Windows no longer recognise it sometimes). Take a copy of whats on there just incase. Again there is a post that mentions a way of reversing the change so you have lost all your data on the memory card.
Good luck, I did without any probs to flash from 1.43 to 1.48 using the Goldcard method
I have the same problem with favourites and i'm on the 2.02 ROM. I never touch IE on my computer though so i've not put much thought into what happens with the sync. I'm just throwing together a wee app to sync it with Firefox though so that will solve my issues.
As for synching it with media player (and i'm old school - I drag and drop files), could there be any corrupt/unrecognisable data in your playlist? You could try a drag/drop dump of music onto your device and see if that works.

There is now HSPL and SSPL available so goldcard is no longer required, using SSPL or HSPL is much easier too
Hi, I converted my T-Mobile HD2 to 1.48 using SSPL. After a couple of teething troubles with Firewalls and a hanging Activsync - fixed with a PC restart it worked just great. It scared me twice when it hung in the boot loader but taking the battery out and restarting fixed it. I made a goldcard aswell just in case but do not really know if it would have worked.
Now its loaded The HD2 seems faster, has more programs and the battery seems to last longer particularly with WLAN.
I still have 1 open question though that I have, touch wood, not had to find the answer for yet. If I do a hard reset which ROM reboots, T-Mobile or the 1.48? Perhaps somebody here knows? I would be grateful to find out before I have to try it out.
Good luck and hopefully it works as well for you.

i believe if you hard reboot it will revert to the Tmobile rom.. as you used SSPL... only if you do a HSPL will it stay... correct me if i'm wrong guys

Incorrect...your Rom does not change regardless of flashing method SSPL or HDSPL. If using the SSPL method a hard reset will remove the SSPL only, and your SPL ONLY will revert back to original, Your latest Rom does not change....
Thanks for the quick responses guys but I am still a bit confused - sorry.
Perhaps in laymans terms -
If I have to hard reset, when the phone reboots will I get all of the T-mobile c**p again and have to go through the SSPL process again- which is not easy when on a business trip, or will I keep the HTC version.
If as I think I understood from band27 I get the HTC version back but lose the SSPL what effect will that have?
thanks again
No, When you hard reset you will get exactly the same ROM as you have before you hard reset. IT will be just like the first time the phone booted after you initially re-flashed it.
The only way to return it to T-Mobile's ROM is to find the download that 'football' posted a few weeks ago and flash it.
Plz let a noob continue this question
If i use SSPL to flash a cooked ROM and for some reason want to go back to a original ROM, how?
Is it correct that i only take my original ROM and flash it as usual, or do i need to do annything els?
Do i need a goldcard?
Plz help a noob
I have my Leo for 1 month. I flashed it (HSPL), installed cooked ROM and everything was fine. Than few days ago I installed new version of ROM and then the problems started...after every soft reset, ROM "restarted" (every tweak or installed program disappeared nad the phone looks like after installing new ROM) and after few resets it is stucked on the first screen (with numbers of radio etc.) and wont move further.
Can anyone help?

I know it's a pain, but have you tried a hard reset since this started? If not, give that a go. If you're still having problems then I'd recommend not using the ROM that you currently have.
have try flashing stock ROM from memory card? I guess it might work

Wish I could, but all I can see is only white logging screen...phone doesnt react at all.
You can flash from the memory card without the need to start the device up and connect to a PC. That's what he's suggesting. I don't know how to do this myself, having only done it via ActiveSync, so I can't tell you how to do it. I do know that you put a ROM image in the root of your storage card and reboot the device, but there's more to it than that. Have a look in the ROM forum for more advice (unless someone can help you here, of course).

can you still get in to the bootloader, turn the phone on while holding volume down, get the 3 coloured screen, you can do the ROM and Radio from there

you dont have to have a booted phone to flash roms over usb. Just boot to bootloader and wait for the 'serial' to change to 'usb' then run your flash.

hi all, i have a HTC HD2 on t-mobile UK and want to update my rom to 1.66 official in order to be able to use HTC messaging (currently disabled it due to known faults)
if it is possible could someone reply with instructions to how to do this and links to the ROM and any new radio i may need to install/flash with.
i have only flashed a phone once, my old T-Mobile MDA compact IV.
this would be so appreciated
p.s i cant downlload the rom from the site because my serial isnt accepted by htc
1 get HSPL2, run HSPL2, choose 1.66.hspl
2 get 1.66 wwe rom HERE - first post first link 1.66 folder.
3 using usb, run the 1.66 exe you just downloaded.
simple, eh?
Hello,
I have a little problem after flashing the 1.66 ROM for my region (east europe). The initial setup of the phone didn't start and the first screen of this setup it is showing only when I switch off the phone.
Other than that the phone works normally, but I want to get rid of the iitial setup screen when I turn my phone off. Do you know if there is a way to start the initial setup manually?
I tried flashing through the SD card and also through the PC, but the initial setup won't start.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you!

thanks for your help mate, downloaded the HSPL but when i follow the rom to the 1.66 folder there are 2 WWE 1.66 files. the first one has not many downloads and the other has 1000+ downloads. which one do i download as the file names are very similar but not the same
these two?
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
I dont know what crc signed means, but the first one (40 or so downloads) has a later radio version, and if you look it was uploaded later than the other.
To be honest, it doesnt matter which you flash, i suspect, because
1 - hspl is protecting your phone against bad flashes over usb,
2 - you can change the radios independantly anyway, so if you want to play safe, go for the high download one, and then update the radio manually.
EDIT - PS, anyone that does know what crc signed means, plz let me know.
okay cheers mate tbh i only want to update it so i can use HTC messaging, which does work on 1.66 rom?

When I had this problem, I think I just opened the notifications bar and went into the phone setting where you can choose whether you want wifi on or bluetooth or put the phone in flight mode.
After that it seemed to go into the set up.
Im going by memory so this might not be it for you, I actually gave up and went onto energy rom.

yea you are correct, that usually does it.
I was running my HD2 this morning on Android and it was working peferctly. now no signal appears wether its on windows or android.
can anyone help me please? my radio is 12.
Have you tried turning airplane mode on/off
or reapplying your network settings...........
i think they are under the winmo settings somewhere.....
settings tab.........menu.........all settings...........
connections........ etc..
I have tried them and no luck. I also tried to change the sim card to my old phone and they work I chnaged my radio 3 times and no luck.
I googled it and saw like mostly everyone is having problems and all they did is to return it from where they got it.
What I want is to fix it by myself because my phone i got was from my uncle and he bought that phone from an office mate that is brand new untouched.
How would I fix it without giving it to a company? My phone is factory unlocked.
If youve tried a new radio and it still doesnt work then I cant see any other way of fixing it.......
might be worth trying a completely new start....
task 29 and reflash of an official rom/radio in one go.........
Could you please tell me what is Task 29 and can you help me how?
Apparently, if you hard reset it still doesn't fix the reception problem. So after i do Task 29 would it be possible to do a complete wipe of the phone like it was never hacked before?
EDIT: BTW on your first post you told me to select the network... My phone can not even see a single network.

What I meant was to try and set up the connection as if youd just boted the phone for the first time but if youve done a hard reset and that hasnt fixed it then that wont work either........
gimme a few mins and Ill look up some task 29 links for you....
never used it myself though im afraid........
out of curiousity...... is your wifi/bluetooth still working??
Yes. and my current ROM is stock so is there a problem about that?
ok heres the link to the task29 thread.....
ive never used it so Im not sure on the fine details....
theres a video walkthrough so you cant really go wrong........
after that try flashing a stock rom/radio and see if that helps......
if not then I can only assume its a hardware problem........
The most easy's way is to get beck like your device was in the first time!
Preparing: Download the official Rom fore your device on the HTC website.
You will see it will be a .exe file.
Open the exe file with WinZip, and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file.
Now go here I know there is mention "he ones who know all risks of flashing roms" but if you follow the instructions it is the fastest, simply's and a all in one application.
This Video clip is clear
Thanks guys for helping me but has it been proven that it fixes this?
Are both programs the same? I'm confused, which one should I really run?
After this all setting you have now will be deleted and you restore the settings how it was made by the factory!
The one ore the other don't care wit hone you take, the result will be the same.
The one my friend conantroutman mention will do simply a task29 (Remove everything)
The one I mention will do Task29 + he will install your rom.
Ive never heard of this before..........
this isnt guaranteed to fix the problem but the reason I suggested it is because it is the most complete kind of formatting you can possibly do to your phone and should clear any errors/conflicts with software.....
if it doesnt then I think your looking at a hardware problem but the fact that your wifi/bluetooth still work suggests that its not the hardware...........
Thanks again, I know you never heard of the problem but heres a thread like mine but never solved

Give the Task29 a chance; running Android can changed sometimes needed values, files. To figure out witch one it is, is difficult.
With task29 all settings will be removed, and when you reinstall the official Stock Rom of your device it will be like you start your device fore the first time! so everything must work (normally, if it isn't a hardware problem)
Guys it doesnt work D: !! on the setup screen it found what provider my sim is but it still can't connect.
What do i do now? if it is an antenna, would they able to fix it and where? how can i use HTC's warranty.

Yeh, but I'm prepaid and i got my phone as a present. (factory unlock)
my HD2 has done pretty much the same thing after running android.
very poor signal, and constantly loosing signal in areas where it got full, and cant pick up 3g or hsdpa anymore, tryed flashing a different radio but no luck any fix yet?
