Hello!
Like the title says: HARDSPL goes wrong.
I need to uninstall hardspl so i can use my warranty.
I have follow the tutorial in this thread how to uninstall it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
When the flash is compleated and its time for reboot i got this message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWWpBbQTPb8
If i take out the memorycard and reboot i got this message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4S-Rcqwlsc
If i try to reflash i getting the same message as the firs plus it says "upgrade ROM code error please try agen"
Can some one please help me out with this?
And yes i have done a hard reset.
And yes i have try to boot via usb to reflash.
If its to any help i used a ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717 tha one called "LEO2.07"

I think you have to find official ROM which was installed on you HD2 before you changed HARDSPL and installed cooked ROM. You'll find all official ROM's in Leo Official ROMs thread. When you find the right one install it from your SD card. Hope this helps

Like I said. I have used a rom from official rom thread=) I also tryed the rom from htc.com with same resoult.
Can I uninstall a bad flash or something and start from the beginning ? Cuz now im stockt in my situation.

Like I said you have to find the "right" one. It's not just any official ROM. I my case I had to install some really old ROM. Unfortunately I don't know how to find the right one, just use the trial and error method.

Okej! Sorry for missunderstanding. So the only way out is to try everyone ?
I was lucky to get the first released hd2 in my city, so i bett its a old one =)
Does it have to be the same language release to ?

In official ROMs thread is link to Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs. In there are very well organised ROMs by country and carrier, you should find it quick enough. Just start with 1.43 and 1.48 and only those which matches your country and/or carrier.

or just to HTCs website and get it from there (assuming its not a vendor locked device)

Dont realy know what that its. But I press vol down and start bottom. Then the tri-colored screen shows up "bootloader" for about 1 second. Then i got this screen http://img405.imageshack.us/i/20090607028.jpg/
I have let it load for about 20min, then i gave up.

I'm afraid to say this, but you have SPL 2.07, which means you are on 'official SPL' and can only flash TMOS Official ROM (since the only SPL 2.07 is tied to US ROM)
I think the only way is to use goldcard, to flash your country's official ROM via sdcard (although I'm not sure if that will work, because I read some folks have problem with that)

Its seems i also have a problem flashing a stock rom for warranty reasons.
I did the following steps:
1. Get an official stock rom. (in my case it would me a NLD ROm 1.48)
2. Put it on storage card en change to LEOIMG.nbh
3. Turn of phone, press volume down en power up unntil tri color screen apears.
4. Follow steps on sreen.
But. I dont get step 4. On step it says for 1 sec ''loading''. After that, it goes back to the trii colour HARDSPL screen.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?
I tried two different SD cards. A 2 gb version and a 4 gb version (both from Scandisk formatted as FAT32)
Is there a way/possible to flash a stock rom using activesync?

No, your warranty is invalid as you're using an SPL/ROM not for your region - hence why you shouldn't flash a ROM from the SD card as this is the issue you have. You're now stuck with a broken HD2 until HSPL can be used on SPL 2.x

Okej. Thats not good Hope some one release a HSPL 2.xx then =) But now i can't even use my phone anymore.

(just to double check)when you boot to bootloader, what does it say next to spl?
if it says spl 2.x then the above posts are correct, and you are stuck with spl2 until hspl2 is released.
You CAN get your phone working again, even with spl 2.
You need a goldcard, and you can then flash the 2.x official rom which will at least get your phone working. Once it is working, you can then flash custom roms using sspl BUT ONLY roms based on the 2.x official rom, and you won't be able to change radios using sspl. The only way you can change your radio is flashing a 2.x official rom with the goldcard.

New ROM for T-Mobile (UK) help needed

Hello.
This is my first post, so please be kind to me!
I've spent the past few weeks trying to get my head around what to do in order to flash my HD2 which is on the t_mobile network
The original rom 1.43 i think is driving me crazy and I now dont care if I change the rom and it invalidates the warenty!
In order to HSPL I need to SPL first, but will my device allow this?
I've read through so many threads that I am completely confused and dont know which way to turn, never mind which thread to re-read.
Can someone point me to the sspl, HSPL to upgrade to 1.66
Thanks
Glyn
oh its the 512 version

you are over confusing yourself.
download hspl 2
instal it - choose whichever hspl you like (may as well go for 2.08.hspl)
flash whatever rom you like from usb. (don't forget to flash a compatible radio either before or straight after.)

Thanks for your reply......
so downloan the HSPL from here?
'forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477'
and as I run the program I'll get the option of which version to install?
What should I look for to make sure that the radio is compatible with the rom?
Thanks again and sorry for my ignorance
Glyn

best thing you can do is to read a lot. No need to do enerything in one mad dash.
get HSPL2 from HERE - end of the first post (but read the post, dont just skip to download, )
run it as administrator (right click, run as administrator)
for best results use a usb port on the back of your PC (i.e one directly on teh motherboard, not an external usb slot) it will ask what version you want to install. just go for 2.08.hspl (not 2.08.0000) and let it do its thing. the authors say you should match the version to the rom (so 1.43.hspl for roms that are 1.43 or 1.48, 1.66.HSPL for 1.6 based roms, etc, but it isn't critical, most will run on any HSPL, so dont go changing every time you flash a new rom, no need. If it doesnt work then change it.)
As for radio tips, a radio with .51. in the number, (eg 2.09.51.03) will NOT work with any rom that has the 576meg ram, enabled.
If you flash a rom and all you get when you restart is a grey screen, chances are the radio doesnt match. Boot to bootloader and flash the radio.
But most of all, read stuff.

What about shipped rom's that are .exe files? Do they include radios with it? Also, is there a post you can point me to that has a list of compatible radios with different rom's?

that's where reading comes in. the whole process has so many variants that there is no simple "a b c" that covers everything.
yes the exe includes radio (and also spl if you use sd card to flash -stay away from sd card, use usb and if anything goes wrong you just boot to bootloader and re flash)
the chefs give you all the infoyou need in the first couple of posts. the sticky threads in the rom development section will tell you how to do everything, and any problem you encounter has beenwritten about already. so read,search and read.

I suggest you flash Stock WWE 1.66 ROM first so you can have a feel of how much improvement
has been done from 1.43
you can download it in HTC website.

Thanks for your help so far..
I would like to go for the 1.66 official ROM first, so I'll find that on here first and find the exe file so I dont have to mess about with compatible radio's.
Just before I HSPL it, I would like a copy of the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM, so better get searching.
Thanks again
Glyn

the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM is on HTCs website so get it from there as a backup

THANKYOU!!
Thankyou so much for your help and guidance.
Last night I decided to just do it - the phone was so poor I couldn't take it anymore.
3 hours from start of backing up, to installing HSPL2, to flashing with 1.66, anf then restoring data
I cant believe the transformation - I am so pleased I didnt throw it at a wall!!!
So a massive thanks to the members of this community

im in the same boat... got a stock uk hd2 on tmobile and wasn't to flash a new rom but the information is overwhelming and im scared I will flash a wrong rom and kill my phone :0)

theres nothing to it. the 'normal' hd2 which you do have, is about the safest phone to flash in the world today, with HSPL2. The 'radios killing phones' problem that started last week is specific to the t mobile US model only, , the one with 1 gig rom.
If you install HSPL on your phone, and then only flash over USB, the very worst that will happen (from a software point of view) is that the phone stops at a grey screen, and/or only boots into bootloader, so you boot into bootloader, you flash something else, and it's fixed.
The T Mo UK stock rom is available to download as backup, (as is o2 and voda for anyone looking) in the 'LEO official roms' thread in rom development, first post, first link, first folder (1.43)
At any time, you can flash that rom from sd card (look it up if you need to) and restore everything, spl, radio and rom, , to factory settings.
In all honesty, so long as you are careful, methodical, don't pull out USB cables halfway through, laptop battery dies, etc , then you are more likely to get bricked from some freak incident, like , umm, battery dieing, heh.
Fear not! be smart, be careful, try to understand what you are doing and why at each step, read up on what an spl is, and the job is , as they say, sorted.

Hi samsamuel,
Sorry to msg you like this.
i have purchased a T mobile HTC HD2 which came with the stock 1.43 ROM.
I want to put 1.66 on but don't know how.
I've read the forum and looked on youtube but confused.
Do you have an idiots guide?... i really am an idiot when it comes to stuff like this!
I have downloaded HSPL2 file.
I have downloaded the back up 1.43 Stock Rom
Do i need to download the 1.66 ROM now and how do i update?
please excuse my ignorance and i am happy to donate if you can help.
Kind regards
Mkhonat

RE:
Hi Samsamuel,
Thanks.. just one more thing.
Saw on youtube that i have to format my SC card
youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas[/url]
is this so and is this referring to the sd card in the HTC or my own sd card used to download the 1.66 onto?

Install/Flash 1.66 ROM

Hi All,
I am new to windows Mob interface and read several threads on how to install cooked roms.
I have 1.48 ROM on my HTC HD2 Leo and need to upgrade it to 1.66.
Can someone please guide me through in how to go about it or post the link (if i have missed any) of any thread that has the tutorial?
Most of the threads talk about flashing a cooked rom but i simply want 1.48 migrated to 1.66?
Any pointers be appreciated.

the process is the same for cooked or official.
is there an upgrade for your phone? you failed to mention is it provider locked?
1 - instal hspl2
2 - run the 1.66 .exe
3 - done.
if you have a provider locked phone, and have the correct update, you can skip step 1, if you have a rom unlocked phone (not network unlocked) then get the htc wwe 1.66 .exe and also skip step 1.
read the stikies for how to do it,. but really all you do is run the progs, press ok when it says.

Hey thanks Sam.
My phone is not SIM LOCKED, tht implies i need not install any HSPL/HSPL2.
All I need to do is ,
1. Download the 1.66 ROM
2. Active Sync my phone
3. Run the exe downloaded.
4. Hard Reset my phone.
Please correct me if i am wrong anywhere!

It ony implies it, it doesn't confirm it.
sim lock and rom lock are unconnected.
If you sim unlocked it yourself, by buying/getting a code, then the rom is still provider locked.
If the phone came sim unlocked, then it is a good bet it is rom unlocked too.
All I need to do is ,
1. Download the 1.66 ROM
2. Active Sync my phone
3. Run the exe downloaded.

yep, thats right. Because you are flashing over usb, it wont affect the SPL, but it will change the radio, so if you want a different radio, you will need to do that afterwards.

Thanks for the info.
My phone was unlocked when it came and was not any provider locked.
All i am looking for is a higher ROM version. Wann try HTC Leo with 1.66 ROM.

Bingo.....
I have upgraded it to 1.66. Thanks for your help

[Q] How to flash Back to Stock Windows Mobile from Android?

Hi guys, so my phone's touchscreen is basically dead and I need to send it off to warranty but all the buttons work. I was wondering what I should do to flash it back to stock Windows Mobile? I currently have a T-Mobile HD2, with aMAGLDR V1.10 and Android 2.2.
Thank you

All you need to do is flash a stock windows mobile rom to your device via your sd card. Also downgrading your HSPL is advisable.
Just stick the needed nbh file on your sd card renamed to leoimg.nbh, then enter bootloader by holding volume down button while powering on and follow steps.
Also using search function in future will help. Any person with some common sense would understand that this topic will have been created and discussed at lengthy before so no need to re-create when teh info already exists.

Go to HTC website and download the ROM for your HD2 (you need to use the phone's serial, thus making sure you have an approved ROM).
Now do a search on here for the SD Card ROM flashing method.
The only thing you need is a 2GB microSD Card (there is known problems with 8GB and greater SD cards).

Above 2 described solutions are INCORRECT - do not try this as you may brick your HD2...
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download HSPL3_PKG, ... google it!
2. Since it may come in rar arhcive extract and run as if you were going to flash the HSPL, hit next on first screen, now you get a drop down list, select 2.08.0000 not 2.08.HSPL. Once you have 2.08.0000 you are ready to install Stock ROM.
3. Run the program / install (by clicking next, next, next, etc)
4. Now just flash your Stock Tmobile WinMo ROM the normal way (via USB).
Stock T-Mobile ROM can be downloaded from their website by entering the IMEI on the website.

Euhm I think you are wrong.
The sd-card methode with the proper rom is the only way to flash it so it places the correct bootlader, radio etc etc etc
For the guy('s) opening the posts with 'how can I flash back for warranty purposes' I wish there would be a new torture feature on your keyboard so it would at least give you a 110V or 230V shock for a couple of seconds.
Browsing the HD2 forum I found a minimum 3 threads which ask exactly the same on the first page.

"Incorrect" is quite a bit... well, incorrect in this case.
Only if you are 1000% sure that you are correct, you should choose such words. But in this case, it is definitely a *fail*.
The way you describe does work, too, but it can be confusing for some users. Especially those who ask questions like the OP here...

Huh... a bit harsh, no? But still a good thought, kind of. Maybe a non-physical pain related penalty would be an idea, too? Guess not, as even my grandmother used to say: "Those who don´t want to listen have to feel"...

@ "eenbox" . sd card method is less complicated and more secure me friend... it will write spl, radio, os .... and you are done.
You dont need to search google when you can search in xda ... or just visit sticky threads.

So you are all saying that he can download T-Mobile branded ROM from htc website and flash that one on his T-Mobile US version HD2?
If that works for someone - good luck; I know for a fact it did not for few people when they bricked their phones...

I've done the sd card method on my phone twice, and other peoples phones at least 4 more. They all reset stock spl, radio, and stock rom for warranty purposes.
Flashing a wrong stock rom will brick you for sure though.
The sd card leoimg.nbh method is flawless. Especially when your touchscreen or USB port breaks, its the only way for warranty if you want it replaced.

Trouble finding TELUS 1.52 SPL

I'm sick and tired of not having tethering or custom alerts, so I want to install a custom rom on my surround. I'm trying to downgrade my SPL to 1.52 so I can install HSPL, but I can't find a TELUS one anywhre.
The only one I have seen is Ansar's, but his links are dead. I can't post the links yet as i don't have 10 posts.
Does anyone know of where I can get the stock TELUS 1.52 SPL from, or where I can get Ansar's?
Thanks in advance!

I have two Telus Surrounds and I used this rom from Cingular to roll back the spl so that I could unlock it with DFT HSPL Version 3, and then you can load any custom rom you want. If you can't load the rom you might have to use the gold card with a memory stick.

I'm sick and tired of not having tethering or custom alerts, so I want to install a custom rom on my surround. I'm trying to downgrade my SPL to 1.52 so I can install HSPL, but I can't find a TELUS one anywhre.
The only one I have seen is Ansar's, but his links are dead. I can't post the links yet as i don't have 10 posts.
Does anyone know of where I can get the stock TELUS 1.52 SPL from, or where I can get Ansar's?
Thanks in advance!

I have two Telus Surrounds and I used this rom from Cingular to roll back the spl so that I could unlock it with DFT HSPL Version 3, and then you can load any custom rom you want. If you can't load the rom you might have to use the gold card with a memory stick.

I tried that one but it said invalid vendor id. I assumed that was because I had a Telus phone and not a Cingular one.
I should mention that I'm running 7.8 with bootloader 4.22.2250.0(129185) and firmware 2250.21.40200.661

I was successfully able to download and install the rom onto my phone. Now it's readying SPL 1.4.2250.2(113577) and then tried to install RSPL, but the phone would not reboot. I tried resetting the phone as some others indicated, but to no avail.
I then upgraded the phone to NODO using cab sender successfully and tried to RSPL, again the phone wouldn't reboot after completion.
Any ideas?

Great, now I can't even upgrade my phone using zune or cab sender anymore... I'm stuck on NODO.
Does anyone have the STOCK Telus ROM, and not the modified one like the one provided?

yup I have it

Telus rom is a test rom
you flash telus just to take its touch driver and radio
then you flash default shipped rom (delete SPL_Signed.nbh from shipped rom to save the drivers you got from telus)
then you can go with spl tools
thnx

When you say Flash Default Shipped ROM, are you meaning the TELUS one, or the Cingular one?
I then update using RUU or GoldCard?

The Default rom that you can name it shipped is Cingular
u use TELUS ROM when you have a trouble with touch driver ( like lock screen bug ) , or when u have trouble in call transmission driver ( making , reciving call problems )
note: u can't flash telus rom with goldcard method else you have a security unlocked bootloader !!
u can flash TELUS ROM with rom utility that come with it
after you take benefit of flashing telus, u cannot go with it, u have to return to Cingular one, note: delete SPL_signed.nbh from Cingular Rom to save drivers that u installed from TELUS, then you go with spl tools
sorry for my bad english

I don't quite understand. My phone was bought for, and is on the TELUS network. I had upgraded it to 7.8 using cab sender, but really wanted some features (Wifi Tethering, Custom Alerts), so I tried the custom ROM route.
The only thing I've been able to successfully install on it is the TELUS Test ROM, and upgrade it to NODO using Zune (Mango updates failed - I think because it wants a newer firmware, which I have the cab files, but they fail installing)
The Telus Test ROM that I had downloaded uses firmware 22.50.09.10402.661 and bootloader: 1.4.2250.2 (113577).
If I try to install RSPL/HSPL right now, the phone does not restart after completion, thus never gets into RSPL mode to do HSPL.
I recall trying to use RUU to put on Cingular ROM, however it always failed, I believe saying that Vendor ID is invalid.
I'm really frustrated with this, but I don't know how to move forward to install RSPL/HSPL.

steps to solve all of your problem
cus your device originally on telus network , you cannot install Cingular while you have locked bootlooader
solution :
1- search in forums about , unlocking boot loder
2- unlock your bootloader ( you know that your bootloader is unlocked when u see on the top of your screen , "security unlocked" when you enter the boot screen (4 colored screen)
3- install Cingular ROM and you will succeed in that after u unlock your bootloader\
4- using spl tools now u can unlock spl to get HSPL
5- install cerebellum 7.8 ROM that will find all features enabled on it ( internet sharing , etc)
and you don't need zune update anymore
note: you will find it hard to unlock your bootloader but it worth try
search in other devices forums , all are same

I was under the impression that installing RSPL/HSPL was used to unlock the bootloader. Is this something different entirely?

RSPL/HSPL is unlock bootloader not deeply enough to allow you to change the hole operator ROM , (change from telus to cingular)
you have to full unlock bootloader

I'm really not finding anything useful here... I see a lot for Android, but nothing for an HTC Windows Phone. Are you referring to an IMEI unlock? ChevronWP7? Unbranding? Interop Unlock? WP7 Root Tools?
Thanks

I've now managed to developer unlock my Surround. What's the next step from here?
