I need SERIOUS HELP, Help ME!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE

I have a Mogul. That was Running 2.17 Official, tried to install DCD 2.1.0SPRINT, Said it installed successfully, on reboot it GETS STUCK IN HTC BLACK SCREEN. I tried to run RUU, GET ERROR 260. I can't connect through activesync either, Then I read To try to flash through SDCARD the official 2.17 renamed To TITAIMG. IT GET STUCK IN LOADING SCREEN, WHICH I LEFT RUNNING FOR OVER A HOUR, I ran out of ideas, and I hope I didn't brick My month old phone PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE HELP ME

Did you not read any directions or other posts?
You need to make sure you have the new radio, otherwise any rom that is 3.16 based will do this.
Flash original 3.16 to get the radio on the phone then do DCD's rom.
Also, try not to post retarded type like that makes it really hard to understand what your trying to say.

THANKS
Well thanks I guess, and I ll will try

Go into bootloader mode before flashing to ensure a good flash.

That has to be a .nbh renamed To TITAIMG right, and if so do you have a link. For some reason mine is a .exe

Open it up with winrar (or similar) to get the nbh file. Dude this is all pretty obvious stuff remember to do some more research into the device and its quirks before doing anything else

Man I looked In the winrar, And only 1 thing is in there and it was
3.16.651.0.exe. That is why I asked for a link to the right one, and I reaserched this and other sites for four days before I tried this.
It was the best I can do without hands on, Sorry to be such a burdan.
But I though this site would help me.

Extract the exe then take a look inside that one?? We aim to help all users but it is a two way process dude

Not sure if I have A good version of 3.16
sorry I dont know tried to open but a little black screen flashed.
Should i look for a different 3.16 rom.

Every other rom I have Has a .nbh
yea my 3.16 must not be real. Might be a dumb question, but I just want to ask. Can you flash a .exe on your phone

Sorry for any confusion, Can flash .exe through sc card

Your making it harder than it is.
1) Extract the exe via winrar.
2) Manually enter bootloader mode
3) Run the upgrade from a Windows XP Machine to be safe (just run the exe).
4) Let the device start
Fixed your phone in 4 steps.

Stuck in bootloader after failed flash

Hi, got some problems with one of my employes Herald (not simlocked or anything).
It ended up on my desk after complaints about it rebooting by itself every minute or so. I figured I could sort it out by upgrading to wm6. Wen to HTCs website and downloaded the official RUU (HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe). Everything went along fine and I left it upgrading on my desk and went for lunch.
When I got back it said that the update had failed and I followed the recover function but without success.
Now Im stuck in bootloader mode, and when I try to update it again the current image version is listed as blank and I get to about 1-2 percent before it shuts down and gives "ERROR [244]: INVALID MODEL ID".
Any suggestions on what to do?

Further information...
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.17.0000
When i do a hard reset, after it says format complete it boots up and freezes with a green gradient across the screen.

You can try using USPL or HARDSPL to flash.
The USPL will get around CID locks
This is from ivan's A Herald's Guide to Flashing Aserg, USPL and HARD-SPL - xda-developers
II. How do I flash an NBH file?
Warning: To use the NBH ways, you MUST have a SPL of 4.0 or higher. If you have a lower SPL, you WILL brick your phone.
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

Thanks for the reply,
First, I cant get activesync to find the phone, only evidence of contact in between the phone and PC is that its listed as [Windows CE USB Devices+PocketPC USB Sync] in device manager. I tried to uspl flash with ASERG.8, and it stops at "STEP 1/3...."
I downloaded mtty to see if it could connect, and it did.
Any further suggestions on what might work!

uninstall..reset.. clean install would probably get activesync to work w the phone..

Reinstalled activesync without any change. And soft/hard reseted everything…
Tried to flash via sd as per instructions in another thread, got to "checking SD contents" and then straight to triple-color bootloader.
Help me please! ;D

Cant help getting the feeling that Im completely screwed...
Cant get activesync to recognize it, only way to get it to light up is via bootloader (camera + reset button), everything ive tried to flash it with hangs almost instantly.
As a complete novice my guess is that the current rom is corrupted and I badly need advice on how to go on. The sd-flash seems quite logical but I cant get it to work. Ive tried to overwrite my sd with 00-values in winhex and then placing the original ruu [HERAIMG.nbh] (through windows, is there a way to write data with winhex?) on the card without any success.
Any suggestions on what to try is much appreciated.

Sounds like the SPL got corrupted or partially written only... sorry. Repair center time. You can also placing your Stock RUU's nbh file into your SD card and renaming it to... umm.. I forget... and then flashing FROM the phone.

facdemol said:
You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.

Thanks for the reply, before giving up and sending it in for repair I would like to give the sd-flash a proper try... So far Ive managed to format the card with winhex but I cant really figure out how to write to the card in raw format. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

i managed to do the steps said above ... formated the card in RAW format etc but still the phone won't turn on ... it will only stay in bootloader ...

Care to enlighten me on how you did that?

I've been reading a lot lately.. I wonder if the phones are savageble... something about flashing but bypassing the radio check... Also, the universal has an RUU that bypasses any checks before it flashes... this would be great for us to have... I'm asking around...

if you find it please tell us about it cos a lot of phones are getting bricked ...

If I'm correct, you told us a few post above thisone you placed your SD card with the imghera.nbh and got "checking sd conents" and then it went to bootloader.
As far as i can recall you need to get your Herald into bootloader first and then place your SD card with the IMGHERA.nbh file on it. Then it should start reading the image from, your SD card.
Judging from your first post you haven't been using the asigned RUU from the HTC website if this was your first rom flash to WM6 and you got a vendor error. Try to convert and use that one when you flash from sd card.

Ive been trying to flash with the WM6 RUU I downloaded from HTC's site (the one that bricked it) since that is the only local (swedish) and official one I could find. Have I misinterpreted it all and the only thing that could do the trick for me is WM5.1?
Ive also been trying to contact the HTC service dept for over a weeks time ending up in a deadend overfilled voicemailbox - meanwhile my warrantyperiod ran out... Any suggestion on what to do?

Hi I try tu patch IPL/SPL with hard spl but with error, now my herald stuck in boot mode. IPL/SPL 1.09.0001. He probbably is from some russia operator (rusian diacritics on keyboard).
How can I try to make him alive?

I think i have finally made a brick

I did something really silly 2 days ago.
Playing with the HD, i was looking at the sd card and saw old 1.14 spl as an nbh file, and thought, i think i might go back o scratch and start fresh. So i knew running 1.56 roms, that i would get the green screen and thought, well i know how to fix that, and proceeded to update the spl first--- what a mistake that turned out to be.
Now i hear u say just hook it up to activesync-- well there is my second problem- activesync wont see the phone in any of 3 usb 2.0 ports on my laptop.
Put it into bootloader when hooked up, and i get the tri color screen and it says
Blac120 32M RUUNBH
SPL-1.14.0000
MicroP-Blackstone(LED) V6
Upgrade Rom Code error
Please try again
USB doesnt show at the bottom where it usually says Serial.
When i remove the usb cable, it says serial, and when i plug it back in, it wont disappear.
The phone will not do anything except go into bootloader screen everytime i turn it on.Even just by pressing on button, with sd dard removed. Once on, i have to remove the battery to turn it off.
My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Very appreciating Frank in Australia

"My only option is if there is a stock rom with signed RUU nbh file that might trick it when i try uploading vioa sd card."
You answered your own question. If you've got the bootloader, you don't have a brick. Do that, and you should be fine.

Yeah i understand this,but what i really need to know is the stock rom- is it possible to download it as a Signed Ruu-NBH file so i can upload via sd card?
Thanks for your response
Still looking and trying to find it
Frank

I am not sure but i think you can extract the nbh file from the original htc stock rom.exe file.i do not want to say anything stupid but maybe after that you can update from the card.Someone correct me if i am wrong.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Yes you can extract the nbh file from the shipped rom. On your pc, right click on the shipped rom.exe and select "Extract Files.....". Then rename the extracted RUU_signed.nbh file to BLACIMG.nbh, copy to your sd card and flash. Good luck.

disable <allow usb connections> in the connection settings of active sync.. this might be the reason..of thd not being detected on usb connection in bootloader mode!
use MTTY .. erases almost everything on ram except bootloader..
or u can flash a stock rom

Thank you everyone for your advice. I have now managed to extract nbh from stock 1.14 rom, wwe as i need, and it goes 1 step further by saying loading, checking and then an error or 020002 appears and says not allow
. So i wonder if this means hspl needs to be re-installed???

HTC HD2 stuck at boot loader... help please.

Hi all,
Before I post here I have googled over the internet looking for a solution and i have read alot but no success, i have tried many different suggested solutions but all have failed, so that I'm here to ask who have faced a similar situation of me.
My HTC HD2 was having SPL-1.42 with its original stock ROM, then I decided to upgrade for a cooked ROM so that I installed the HSPL then it became SPL-1.42 HSPL, that was fine then I'm were able to upgrade to any cooked ROM, I have flashed my device with many different ROMs even the stock ones, every thing were very fine till I upgraded to the stock ROM of leo 2.10 "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship" by via the MicroSD card and now stuck with the SPL-2.08 as shown in the attached photos.
I tried to flash again using the EXE file from my PC but it take very long time the fail even with the original stock ROM of my device, and I tried to flash using the SD card but it take very long time just showing a white screen labeled "loading..." and no more activity.
I attached some photos showing the problem.
I know its my fault because I did not read the warning in the text file that included with the ROM folder "Do not flash using the MicroSD"
So that, I'm looking for a solution... please help..
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
Note: pardon me about my poor English.

Heya i think ur stuck now on that SPL 2.08 havent heard any1 succeeding in putting hspl on it atleast from what ive read.
The cause is because u flashed that Tmous ROM trough MicroSD which overwrites the hspl.
I think if u had read the stickies more carefully this could be avoided but u can still flash Tmous roms some1 correct me if im wrong. hope this helps a bit

Thanks for replaying,
yeah you are right I have to be more careful but now its done and stuck with SPL 2.08.
anyway, I have tried to falsh it using Tmous ROMs but it faild, it says "this device is not suitable for this ROM" then exit, by the way, my device is the Asia version and I tried to flash it using the new officially updated ROM from htc.com but it also failed, it take very long time more than 15 minutes with no activity the I disconnect the USB from the device to save the battery charge, I'm afraid to stuck with a dead battery. When I disconnect it the upgrading software on my PC asking me to restart the device and reconnect it again then I did, the official upgrading software recognise the device then start to flash it but it stuck at beginning of the flashing process it just change the screen of the device to the back background with the progress bar its reading 0% and take very long time then i disconnect it.
by the way, is the any way to downgrade the SPL to 1.42 ?
any help please..
Thank you.

Last week I also face this problem. But I'm not using SD card to flash the room.
However, I backup my sd card then format the card, it become will afther this.

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did, removed the battery for about 10 seconds and flashed the original ROM. Then reflashed HSPL. It worked for me.

Thank you all for replaying..
I tried to do as you did but no success at all.
well, what next ?
Thank you

You must use GoldCard repaired your device .Look here (Post 31 & 41) Repaired (with any Goldcard ) HD2 damaged when the flash rom TMOUS with memory card :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=640183&page=4
You must change Tmous 2.07 ( in guideline article ) replaced by your ship rom 2.10.

same happened to xmoo....just letter xmoo about your problem...i hope he can help you....

no success yet..
but i'm confused about how to use the goldcard ?
I tried to you the attached goldcard.img from the post Id=640183&page=4 but no success.
is the goldcard.img dedicated to a specific device based on its CID ? or it can be used for any device ?
Thank you

Surely XDA Mods should take down the SD card method as there are about 10 threads a week of flashing the 2.10 ROM via SD card and getting stuck cause they don't read enough before hand - if the SD card method isn't there people won't brick their phones!!

{Solved} HTC HD2 stuck at beet loader...
Hi all,
finally I got my device running
by flashing it using Goldcard method, I bought the PSAS software and flashed it using Tmous 2.10 and now it is running fine.
well, the steps as the following:
1- getting the CID of the SD card that you are going to use for flashing you device, I used linux OS to get the CID of my SD card by:
linux host #>more /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
that will give you the CID of the SD card.
2- Start the PSAS software and must be registered then go to Calculations/Generators then select Generate HTC goldcard.
3- then click "Save Goldcard Image to file", rename it whatever you wanna name for example "goldcard.img".
4- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk image..
5- Use HxD Hex Editor, then select Extras from the menu then Open disk...
6- then click on "goldcard.img" tab then select the lines from 00000000 to 00000170 all the file content by high lighting it, then select Edit -> Copy.
7- then go to the disk tab the containing the sd card, then select the same addresses (00000000-00000170) then Edit -> Paste Write, then save the new content.
8- copy a leoimg.nbh to the SD card, its recommended to get it from the ROM that bricked your device. I'm used Tmous 2.10.
9- insert the SD card into your device then boot it to the bootloader by holding the volume switch down while your switching the device on.
10- wait for the menu to appear and follow the instruction to complete.
Thats work from me and should work for you.
by the way, I flashed US Tmous while my device is Asian.
Thank you all
and
Best regards
if you have your CID I may help you to generate the suitable goldcard.img for your device.

I think I've read that even though you are stuck on spl 2, now that you have it running you should be able to flash roms with sspl but you won't be able to change the radio.
HTML:

till now I'm not sure about the radio, any way, I'm trying to hack it, i successfully initiated the process of radio upgrading but it failed at 99%.
we gonna do it one day...

I also bought PSAS and used my old TP to goldflash the card. Then flashed it with the TMOUS ROM using SD method. After that it game back to life and only way to flash other roms is using sspl. Only thing now is that I'm stuck with this TMOUS initial splash screen.

Also you can change the splash screen using SSPL,till now you can change what ever you wanna change using SSPL except the radio and SPL flashing.
now i'm looking for flashing the radio with some how.

tamAyT:
SD card method should be used a last resort and only if you know what you're doing - it's a million times easier to use HSPL and ActiveSync as if it fails it's easy to recover. I've never used the sd card method and after reading what it can do if you don't read into the ROM well enough it's not worth the hassle IMO

HAHAHA.
For me changing the first 2 00 in de hex edit of the goldcard to 11 fixed the issue.
Radio 2.08 is greate.. SPL 2.08 is greate... So no problems a.t.m., if I need a stock rom I use SSPL...
But then again I hope someone comes with HSPL 2.x tho.

[help]flashing hd2 with custom boot and splash images

Hello everyone.
I was going to learn how to flash my hd2 to personalize boot and splash image.
I can't deny that i'm a bit confused.
I readed some guide here, like 'how to flash everything' and 'flashing your first leo 512mb' but there is not explained how to proceed to change boot and splash images.
Let's go then to know more about it.
First at all i got that i need to install HSPL2 on the device.
Doing this, we will able us to flash everything on the hd2.
But there are also other progs that i do not undestand if i can use instead the HSPL2, like leo_CustomRUU, or SSPL_RUU.
Maybe can be helpful if someone tell me/us ( noobs ) what is better and easy to use.
After this, there are two 'images' that we can personalize:
-the first is when we turn on the device, with the htc logo and the hand writing word;
-the second, the Windows word on the red desktop color.
The first is the boot image, the second the splash screen.
Is it right?
Okay, if it's correct, i suppose that we need to 'operate' on two different kind of 'image file'.
I downloaded a .zip file that contains various kind of images ( static ) with .nbh extension.
That are splash images, so it will change only the splash image.
I don't know if i can use it directly without rename it, if i must put that file in a specific position on the device or only in the sd root ( formatted ), and then launch the progs ( what kind? ).
Yes...need help for this.
Thanks
p.s sorry for my poor english

hspl2 unlocks the phone for flashing.
sspl is a one shot alternative to hspl, you don't need it.
customruu is a slightly altered version of the rom loader that comes with official roms. it is altered to allow flashing cooked roms.
you flash boot image just like roms, and it is actuallya small rom.(no hard reset needed, doesn't affect your rom at all.)
there are three parts to the boot screens, as you correctly noted, only the first part is flashed, the second and third are changed within your setup by cabs or replacing image files.

i see.
well i downloaded HD2 splash screen V1.zip ( inside the link that you posted here ) and inside it there is already Custom_RUU.
I think then that i must use it to flash the custom splash on the device.
Right?
and...i must put the .nbh file not inside the sd card, but in the device root.

i successfully installed HSPL ( not hspl2 ) on my device.
Now i'm trying to flash the device with an .nbh image, for the splash screen.
My doubt is:
1- where to put the .nbh file
2- if i need to copy custom_ruu.exe also inside the device where is located the .nbh file and then launch another copy of it from my pc.
I did it but the custom_ruu.exe tell me to upgrade the rom from 1.66 to 1.0...
a bit strange i think....or not?
thanks

to flash roms and splashscreens - put the nbh into a folder with customruu (customruu usually comes with the rom, if not use one from another download, all customruu.exe's are the same)
just those two files in folder, run customruu as administrator, done.

i was a little afraid when the app told me to 'update' the rom to 1.0 hehe.
ok then, it's flashed
well, it's also possible to modify the Windows on red background image in some way?
i just installed an .nbh image that allow me to modify the standard htc logo, then a .cab with a post simulation ( like a pc post; unfortunately if i do an hard reset i must reinstall it.... ), but i didn't found nothing for the Windows on the red background colour.
Thanks a lot again for your support

hehe, ignore what it says in the update version bit, its usually blank or wrong.
about the other two images, and re: ' have to reinstal it when hard reset', , , well yea, cos theyre adjustments to the loaded rom, the first part is unconnected, youd get that even if there were no rom, after task29 for instance.

got it
do you know if it's possible to change also the Windows word on the red background?
it's the last image that appear before the sense interface start to load.
i didn't find thread that talk about the possibility to change it or not.
thanks

sorry no idea, i've never tweaked that. i flash too often for it to be an issue.

ok then.
i'll bump this thread with the hope that someone can help us.
The last question is:
it's possible to change with a flashing ( maybe permanent modify then ) the Windows word on red background?
Thanks to you sam for your help, and to those that will answer to this last question

The windows splash screen is a file called welcomehead.png in the windows directory. Just replace this with an image of your choice and it'll be changed.

im pretty sure i can answer that question as no, you cant modify it so that it survives a hard reset without cooking, and then flashing the cooked results, you cant modify the rom. you would need to get the rom in a kitchen, repolace the images, cook the rom and flash it.
In reality, of course, all you need do is keep your replacement images on your sd card, then copy them back after the hard reset.,

in fact i tryed to delete the welcomhead.png, but nothing to do, even if i change the permission with total commander...
i think that there is no easy way to replace it ( aside to cook a ROM with a different image and then install the modified ROM ).
i think ill give up about this...ill keep the standard ( and not really good looking ) Windows word....
thanks to you all

rather than delete the original which you can't cos it's in the rom, just copy replacement over it, that should work.

O2 splash screen
bump... related questions:
1. It's been a while, when I had the TP1, I used Schaps Advanced Config v3.3 to change the 2nd and 3rd items, does v3.3 still work for the HD2 ?
2. Does anyone have the O2 Splash screen GIF with animated rising bubbles? I had it in a samsung flip phone, searched but could not find a WVGA one. Searched Youtube came up blank. something like this on the O2 XDA
3. These are the 2 threads I used on the TP1, I don't think the HD2 has an equivalent thread:
