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

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

Hi guys.
I tried unlocking the CID with Lokiwiz0.2b but keep getting the error249 invalid vendor ID problem.
I updated my KJam with the latest iMate ROM thinking it had A2DP, but found it doesn't. I now want to flash the Qtek test WWE ROM which does. BUT after running Lokiwiz and selecting option C and then trying to update the ROM I keep getting the message.
I have tried unbundling Lokiwiz again in case it was a problem there, but no joy.
Any ideas anyone? or has it anything to do with the new ROM that maybe Lokiwiz can't address yet?

Your solution is to downgrade to the previous kjam rom, then cid unlock, then flash the Qtek rom.
Just run the K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe upgrader to err downgrade. ;-)

Tried doing that but I can't downgrade. The RUU says says I must get an up to date version. I recall when I loaded the new ROM it said I can't go backwards afterwards.
Does anyone know how can I do that?
don't know if this would work but have you tried bootloader mode?
unable to unlock CID for my Imate Kjam
Can any one help me to unlock CID for my Imate Kjam.

Hi i see yours is G4.
the way i CID Unlocked my wizard to install WM6.5 is:
I Downloaded SoftSPL ( it Temp removes the lock )
--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=50344&d=1189619527 --
So after you downloaded that unZip it and inside there will be 2 CAB files.
move the CABs to your phone:
Cert_SPCS.cab )install on Phone 1st(
EnableRapi.cab )install on phone 2nd(
:
After you have installed them
Move The Rom you want to install into the SoftSPL Folder And Rename the ROM
nk.nbf
Then make sure the Phone is connected to Pc via Cradle/Cable
Then Just Run START-sSPL.exe (inside SoftSPL folder on pc)
tick and next on the screens that come up and then you mobile screen goes White (Dont Worry) then it will load rom you will have a bar on Desktop that loads to 100% .. just Let it finish then mobile reboots and you should be fully loaded with your copy of WM6
Hope This Helped

Hi guys,
I'm at the point of flashing a HTC HD2 NL Vodafone Branded and before I do I would like to have the confirmation i'm doing things the right way.
1) Dont put the SIMcard in it
2) Connect it with ActiveSync
3) Apply bepe's HardSPL on the device
4) Download this file: http://www.4shared.com/file/218620797/e3264e7d/RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1664041_Radio_.html
5) Install the exe file downloaded at point 4 (also thru activesync)
It will have a SPL in it so bepe's HardSPL will be overwritten.
Result: I will have a unbranded phone.
Is this the way I should do it?
Regards,
Xionax

hspl will not be removed. the stock rom will only flash the spl if you flash from sd card. the method you outlined will only flash the rom part.(however I recommend you follow the method you outlined and just leave hspl installed. flashing from sd card is easily messed up)
Thanks for the reply guys.
One other question: how did vodafone put a branded rom on the device and how did they secure it. If I understand correctly its not possible to install a htc rom update myself. It should be done by vodafone. but if so, will the hardspl work because I guess vodafone secured that part of the rom with something of themself.
ps. its not like I dont trust you guys, I just wanna know how it all works.
vodafone didn't do it, they pay htc to brand them(or rather it is part of the production and purchase agreement)
in the unlikely event that a vendor did it themselves, htc would issue them with something like a gold card.
rom updates should NOT be done by vodafone, you are incorrect.vodafone would release a rom update, which you would instal yourself.
the security aspect is dealt with by the phone having a region id and a vendor id(set in the factory). when you flash a new rom, it checks these id's and if they match it flashes. that is why you can't put a htc released rom on your vodafone phone, the vendor id doesn't match.
hspl works by changing the spl to be "super cid" meaning it will accept any region and/or vendor id.
Hello All,
I have flashed my T-Mobile UK branded HD2 with an official HTC ROM using the GoldCard method and then to several Cooked ROMs using HSPL.
Does this mean my phone is now unbranded and I can flash other HTC Official ROMs without using the GoldCard method? i.e. how someone would flash an unbranded HD2 bought say from somewhere like mobilephonesdirect.
I'm aware my phone is still locked to the T-Mobile network which I'm fine with. My question is purely to do with removing T-Mobile's customizations.
I'm really asking because I want to be able to flash a valid HTC ROM to my device if the following happens:
I install HSPL
I flash my device to a cooked ROM
Something goes wrong
I can't get active sync to work/device won't boot into windows
I need to go back to official ROM for warranty
Cheers,
mac
If you use hspl no need for goldcard at all. you can flash anything from usb with hspl, official or cooked.
You dont need the phone to be booted to flash over usb. Boot to bootloader, connect usb, run the flash.
Thanks Sam,
I was under the impression you had to be connected via active sync to FLASH using HSPL (at least that's what the instructions say when using the tool).
But I still would like to be able restore my to a warranty friendly state.
Is my phone unbranded once I've flashed with the GoldCard or must I use the it every time I want to flash without HSPL?
Thanks,
mac

Yea thats a common mistake caused by the way the guides, and various other answers in threads are written.
When you connect the phone in bootloader mode, so long as the word serial changes to usb you should be good to go.
But I still would like to be able restore my to a warranty friendly state.

Of course. You have two ways
1 (for both methods)- download the tmo original official rom, official roms thread, 1st post, 1st link, 1.43 folder.
then either
2 - extract the nbh file, copy it to sd card (no need for goldcard, stock 2gb card will be fine) rename leoimg.nbh then start phone in bootloader to flash.
OR
3 - STEP 1 - run the t mo stock you downloaded and flash over usb, which restores the rom to stock, and then STEP 2 - run HSPL2 again and choose the stock spl. (HSPL has 8 spl's listed when you run it, 4 stock and 4 hspl,) Choose 1.43.0000 and thats it, back to stock.
Is my phone unbranded once I've flashed with the GoldCard or must I use the it every time I want to flash without HSPL?
Click to expand...

That doesnt really make sense. As soon as you flash any method, the phone is then unbranded. removing the tmo rom is unbranding.
What YOU mean is ''is the phone rom unlocked?' and the answer is no, it will always be rom locked to tmo, (different to sim lock) so if you want to flash without hspl then you will need the goldcard.
Cheers Sam,
That answers my question. HSPL it is.
Is there a way of removing the ROM Lock?

only hspl. nothing permanent. (well, hspl IS permanent till you remove it, but you know what I mean)
Am i reading this correctly? You are saying that HSPL removes network sim lock?
I need to know whether i will be able to unlock my T Mobile UK HD2 on 1.42 SPL, after a HSPL flash and i have put another ROM on my phone.
Is there any way that flashing can remove the sim lock or prevent me from being able to unlock my phone?
no you miss read the post. rom lock is not sim lock.they're unconnected.
Can anyone answer this, so i can get on with it?

Off Topic, but, a word of advice (and to all who may read this).
I have noticed a few of your posts asking stuff that is readily available in the stickies at the head of each forum section.
Things like unlock and memory available etc.
If you really want to know these things then read all the stickies, then search and then ask if you are still in the dark.
Jumping in with questions that have been asked many times over is not a great way to get the attention of members.
Remeber the stickies are there for a reason.
Hi how do i go about flashing my HD2 back to stock English: 3.14.405.2 ROM ?! as i'd like to sell it now. i have an artemis rom, cotulla HSPL 2.08 and a splash screen from an old chucky ROm i'd like to get rid of !!
so how do i do this safely ?cheers dom
p.s will i still be able to boot into an sd build of android from a stock rom ??
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run hspl4 choose 2.08.0000 (or 3.03.0000, or in fact any that end .0000, teh next step will upgrade it anyway, so long as it ends .0000)
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run 3.14 rom .exe
done.
(this assumes you have the correct 3.14 rom, not just the default stock rom. i.e if your phone is from o2 you need the o2 3.14 rom)
PS yes
Oh right thank you for your quick reply! I think I'll just flash a stock rom so I can sell the phone as unlocked! Thanks again for your help! !!

you cant relock an unlocked phone anyway, no matter what you flash.
Dont confuse sim lock and rom lock, Totally unconnected.
a sim unlocked phone will still need hspl to flash, and a flashed phone isn't sim unlocked.

oh crap.
i just flashed straight back to stock without doing any of this... have i screwed up?
Also i did it because it keeps crashing and overheating so i was going to try it on stock and if it kept doing it i was going to send it back to htc - will they be able to tell i tried a custom rom?
(seems to be working fine though)
EDIT:
another question - will this have changed my radio back to stock too - or do I have to do this manually?
where can i download the new stock rom as the HTC site says its now for my phone....(probably because it was an O2 branded rom before)
theres an O2 update as well on the HTC website?
Otherwise the latest ones are on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
I managed to sort mine - turns out you have to do it via SD and it does everything bootloader, ROM and radio. (although it failed the first time and i almost made a mess in my trousers)
If anyones interested the instructions are (taken from HSPL4 app):
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
I also formatted the SD before copying it over.
No there was only one for t mobile !
cheers for the link matey
yea its odd that, the o2 3.14 rom is there via direct link, has been since saturday, but still doesn't show if you navigate to the rom updates page on htc.uk
ok updated the hspl fine...but when i try to flash the new WWE rom i get an "invalid vendor id" at 1% and the flash fails
righty all sorted ! the O2 rom was on the UK site i was being dumb and look on htc Europe site !
all flashed and working fine now
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?

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

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

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

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?
