OK....I've followed all the tutorials, searched, and still I can't figure out how to get Hard HSPL2 on my tmous HD2 so that I can then begin the process of installing custom ROMs. When I run the HSPL2 from the zip, I follow the on-screen instructions, select 2.08hspl, and select next. After that my phone does the tri-colour thing and then it just sits there with a green bar moving back and fourth on the screen. It doesn't give me a percentage amount to let me know how far along I am!
I let it sit for 30 mins....and still nothing. And also....activesync disconnects once HSPL2 is ran. If anyone knows whats going on please help me. I really need a custom ROM. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just so you guys know....I am running Windows XP SP3, I have Activesync 4.5 installed, HSPL will load and got thru the process, but nothing after that. The green bar will just go back and fourth for a long time.
I'm a noobie to WinMo. I don't know if my advice will help, but I'll share. I had a similar problem when I tried installing HSPL2. For some reason, when my HD2 was in bootloader mode, it would disconnect from the USB connection and reconnect. But HSPL wouldn't finish the installation and I kept getting a fatal error message that connection was lost. All I did was was run HSPL2 again after I got the error message and it worked fine. If you're getting the same error message, it should work.
I'm not getting the error msg, It's just that the HSPL installer is stuck on the installation screen and just sits there. The green bar will go back and fourth for like 20-30 mins. IDK what I can do to fix it.
i'd say try every usb port,especially try to use one round the back.and don't forget to run as administrator,
I've downloaded the HSPL_1024. What happens is I'll run it, it'll go thru the process, but in won't install. There's a green bar that goes back and fourth forever. My phone will sit on the tri-colour screen and nothing else will happen. I let it sit that way for a long time and still nothing. Shold I do a hard reset or what?
Watch This!

It's funny, I just watched that video. Followed exactly what that guy did. His finished in under 2 minutes or so. After about 15 minutes...mines still has the green bar going back and fourth. I am getting so frustrated. I love this phone but I can't stand having to deal with things like this in order to get to it's full potential.
its a long shot but try taking out the sd and sim, and i repeat what i said about usb ports. hspl is far more picky about it than regular flashing.
try starting already in bootloader, if the word serial doesn't change to usb then there is your problem.
Im getting an error msg now. ughhh! And the error msg comes after letting the program run for about 10 mins. I'm going to try and take the sim and SD card out and then try again. IDK what I'll do after that.
samsamuel...I've tried everything you said. Now I'm getting a "Critical Error". I'm on a Macbook running Windows XP SP3 in VMWARE. I have activesync 4.5 (not WMDC) Does this make a difference at all? If none of this helps I'll just have to do a hard reset and try it again.

ohhhh well there you are then. when the phone is running propperly, the mac can happily pass the usb signal through, but when it boots to bootloader, the mac fails to propperly pass through the signal. (Based on stuff that i have read , , i dont have a mac)
Got a friend with a PC? use that to flash HSPL, and then on your own machine give bootcamp a try to actually run xp rather than vmware for flashing.

Im unable to upgrade the rom on my stock htc polaris.
im using vista with the 4.0 driver installed (dl'd from this forum).
I've turned off usb connection in win device center however when i try and install hard spl2 the progress screen sits at 0% and then times out with a 262 error.
does anyone have any ideas that can help me?
Use XP. I bet it works OK then...
4.0 Driver installed?
I have a stock Vista Ultimate, stock Device Center 6.1 and a German Orbit 2. It took me a while, but I finally managed it.
I didnt turn anything off, nothing. The only thing I had to change since the O2 ROM doesnt run unsigned stuff: the reg-entry to allow unsigned apps. Thats all.
Remove SD-Card
Connect to Device Center, wait till connection is fully established
Start the supplied RUU from HardSPL package
Follow instructions/click next/next/next...
Check your device, you have to confirm the execution of the loader
When the tri-color screen appears, unplug and replug, it'll upgrade the SPL and takes approx. 2 seconds
If you have no success at all: try to leave the device at the tri-color screen, quit the RUU and run it again, just leaving the device at the tri-color screen.
After a couple tries, I managed it and I'm happily running a stock HTC ROM instead of the O2 one.
Good luck, report back if it worked.

u must be in normal status i mean just whe u r synching with vista and the ppc should be on and then start the hard spl (u don't need to go in bootloader by yourself) it will go to bootloader automatically and then upgrade will be successfull.
so
connect ppc with wmdc vista and then when connected and start hardspl
tried all of this but still no joy.
i think running it on xp would be fine but i dont have an xp box

failing that, go get an (micro)SD card and format it as FAT32
bung the RUU_Signed.nbh inside the rom update onto the SD card and name it POLAIMG.nbh (or to make it flash with no user confirmation, POLADIAG.nbh) slap the SD into your device and reset into SPL
Thanks A Million!!!!

Olipro, You saved my life. After trying to flash my own cooked rom, my cruise wouldn't go beyond the splash screen. I used your tip and it worked!!!
THHHHAAAAAANKK YOUU!!!

I have Windows 7 and flash my ROM. It's not a Windows 7 issue more than likely. It sounds like you have not connected with Activesync before you tried to flash your ROM. The reason I say, you haven't established a communication port with your pc and it therefore cannot enter a usb connection in bootloader. I have had this happen when I didn't wait for activesync to sync with my computer. I got an ERROR: screen, so I know what you're talking about.
Just sync your device with Mobile Device Center and as soon as activesync completes, run the ROM install.
Let me know if this doesn't work. We'll proceed from there.

Its compatible but it can be rly retarded if you dont do it like it wants
1st install wmdc and let it connect to you phone
2nd disable usb connections on wmdc
3rd and so forth go onto flash your device
if it still says that then connect to the internent and boot your phone into the tri color screen WHILE still connected to computer and try flashing from there
I have flashed roms and done Task29 several/many times from my W7-32-bit laptop and my W7-64-bit desktop, and both work fine -- no issues. I didn't do any special procedures or settings (none on purpose, anyway)...it just worked.
I know this doesn't solve your problem...but it might help to know that W7 should work.
I guess by now this should be solved. If not, try getting into bootloader mode (turn your phone off, and turn on by holding power+volume up button). Then connect the USB cable and try flashing.
I also use Windows 7 64b, sometimes when flashing roms got the same problem, and had to reset the phone from the color screen using the button. This has never happed after I started using Task29, because I have to get into bootloader mode manually.
Ok... Id like to continue this post for only one reason, I am in fact a retard...
Simply reading the stickys is always crucial in your quest to not appear far more retarded than you actually are. Apparently windows 7 update DOESNT update WMDC to 6.1. I Re-Read the "For Noobs" sticky and realized hm, maybe I should check to update WMDC and WHAM, no problem.
The moral of the story, read the previous posts. Asking questions in text based form on the forum when perfectly good answers already float about right in front of your eyes is just a complete waste of precious bandwidth, so dont do it.
I apologize.
Sometimes I post things and feel like a complete idiot, I actually just had a lot of trouble flashing my tp2 to a cooked rom for the first time, but I've had HTC phones since the wing and still run into problems. This last bout of problems I had was fixed by simply reseting my phone to factory default :O
Hello,hello,
Anyway without going into it too much i have my phone with imcokeman's 2.31 and all ready to go with a new screen. I'm trying to use mtty.exe on windows 7 and with usb turned off on wmdc and i keep getting "usb can not open" error
i tried administrator,xp compatibility,Eugenia project, nothing seems to be working.
If anybody has any idea how to fix this....then that would be coooool. otherwise i think i'm going to have to get a new phone. (htc of course!)

Have you tried Virtual XP? Also, you did put your device in bootloader, right?
Windows 7 32 bit doesn't have that many issues, but 64 bit does... Try to get a machine with XP if at all possible. It will solve a lot (if not all) your issues (current and future )
yeah , i had it in bootloader 2.31, tricolor screen,with custom rom, never had too many problems doing this stuff with xp. I'll see what i can do in the next couple of days after that.....new or used phone. thanks for the reply.
HI,
I just had this problem and I saw that a ton of others had it too. It was where my phone would stop at the windows screen and not boot, and my PC wouldn't read the phone so I couldn't load a new rom or Hard SPL. How I fixed it was by getting my phone into bootloader mode, (the multi colored screen). Here's how to do it.
While phone is Off:
Hold Volume down & press power button
While phone is On
Hold Volume down & press Reset Button (meaning the little yellow button by the battery that you have to press with a pen to soft reset it)
Once your on the bootloader screen, plug your phone into your PC, you will hear the ding that the computer recognized it but your Windows Mobile desktop software will still say your not connected, don't worry about that,, you are connected. After that, just pick whatever rom you want, then just install it like normal. and it works. If your not running a rom, do the same but install hard SPL instead of a ROM.
I hope this helps,
As long as your phone turns on at least to the opening screen there is hope.
kn0t.
i had that problem, my phone was stuck on stock together splash screen, but I just called up tmo and they have sent me a new hd2.

Ok first off what ROM do you have and what SPL does it show when you are in the muticolor bootloader screen? Secound if you are trying to flash a ROM yse right clicking the .exe file and selecting run as adminastrator is a good idea. l
I had the same problem.. what usually helps for me is when it gets stuck.. pull out the battery and give it a solid 15-20 minutes.. and then turn it on and do nothing up until after it has booted
i do the battery thing but i cant go on doing this , i put a little txt or phone call and the phone goes bonkers and heats up,nightmare!
ok on the tri colour screen it says
PBB110 HX-BC
SPL-S.08.0000 8G XE
MICRO(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH)
SERIAL
AH!! just got into the boatloader screen !! by pressing volume up and down together~! rest it! but i need to wait cos ive pulled the battery again!!!
I am having the same issue. I had a android rom then was finally able to flash via sd the stock rom, but it would just freeze on splash screen when trying to boot. Now when I try to flash rom again it will start and freeze on 1%. Any suggestions?
Now when I try to load rom via usb it starts and then freezes on 1%. Then will say communication error and then when trying to boot phone it says software issue and now I cant even get a rom put back on! Please help lol

Ok try going to windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) , wich ever one you have to have for your computer, and install it on your computer as they have updated USB drivers for your HD2.
have you tried loading a rom from the root of your memory card LEOimg.nbh?
i have this problem too...but what is worse is after i went to splash screen and connect my phone to pc, my pc wont detect my hd2...so i cant flash a new rom...
ps : im on stock rom bought this almost 2 years ago if im not mistaken

You need to put your phone into bootloader then your computer will recognize it. Hold the volume down button down while you power on the phone and the multicolor bootloader will come up. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via your USB cable. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader changes to USB and then flash. If you go to the device manager of your computer while you see USB on your phone it should say HTC USB Sync if you want to be assured that you have a connection to flash with.
I've been trying to install ACA CLk update to my HD2 since last night. Task29 will not clear rom. Just reads communication error. I have tried it on 2 win7 pc's along with a win xp pc with same results. Please help.
i am having the same error.
whether i run the ROM update utility or use the HD2 tools from the tri-color boot screen, i always get the same UPDATE ERROR (262, i believe).
i'm using USB2, no cradle or dock, brand new HD2.
any help? i'm stuck in a windows environment!
just to be sure : the communication is ok between the computer and ur phone ? u see USB in bootloader?
yes it is between my windows based pc and my HD2. and i have tried through boot loader, seeing seriel first then connecting and then it says USB. i've tried leaving it attached when i restart sit goes straight to USB. i have tried connecting with activesync/windows mobile and then running the ROMupdateutility.exe
i always get the same error: it stalls out right when the progress bar appears and never gets above 0%. then the error screen shows on my PC and i have to go through the recovery process.
thank you for any and all assistance! and sorry for the typos, im normally use swype.
this might have been the problem.
i did not have HardSPL3 installed.
i have done it, and then MAGLDR installed fine.
i skipped Task29 mostly bc i never ran that on earlier installs.
so try HardSPL to solve it, maybe?
(i'm still pretty new to this, so take my suggestions with a few grains of salt)
