Update info at the end of this post.
---------
warning: this tool is for flashaholics. The ones who know all risks of flashing roms and like to live in the fast lane
Note for non HD2-users: this tool works only on the HD2. For a general version that will work on other devices too: look here.
- Description:
FlashaholicRUU (FRUU) is a customized version of the HTC Rom Update utility that will simplify the rom update proces by:
1. automatically performing a task29 before updating a rom
2. allowing the user to navigate through the dialog windows without having to check checkboxes (s)he has seen a gazillion times before.
3. allowing the user to use only the keyboard to go through the dialog boxes (enter -> next window, esc -> quit fruu)
- Usage:
This program will take you through the steps of performing a Task29 (formatting your roms storage memory) and then flashing a new rom. It is not advised to use this if you are totally new to flashing roms as if it is done incorrectly you will end up with no rom on your phone and a permanent look of terror on your face
This is not for noobs!!
1. Make sure your phone is booted up
2. Sync your pc and phone<
3. Copy the FlashaholicRUU.exe file to a new folder with JUST the roms .nbh file present (nothing else)
4. Run the FlashaholicRUU.exe and follow the instructions in the program
5. Click on the "perform task29" button to format your roms memory
6. As soon as the percentage bar reaches 100% hold your "volume down" button and continue holding until the phone reboots and enters the bootloader screen
NOTE: If you get a white screen with "hTC" in the middle then you need to take out your battery and enter bootloader mode manually before continuing (take battery out and put it back in, then hold the volume down button and briefly press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until the bootloader screen appears).
7. When the white box in the bottom of the bootloader screen says "USB" then click on "Flash Rom" in the Flashaholic program
8. Follow the onscreen instructions and lastly click on "Flash" to flash the rom to your phone
9. You will now have a percentage bar on your phone and your new rom is being flashed
10. Once your Rom has flashed your phone will reboot and you can go through the setup screens.
Run your new Rom for a few hours, search for another one and start again with step 1 (if you want to become a real senior flashaholic)
NOTE: There is no need to perform a Hard Reset after flashing the Rom using this program as the Task29 performs a much more thorough job.
--------------
When you want to flash a rom without performing task 29 (for example when you want to flash a new radio) just hit <ESC> on the first screen of step 1. This will take you right to step 2 in which you can flash your rom

- Note to chefs:
You can pack FRUU with your Roms. You can even customize FRUU for your Rom series. For example you can use your own images, text, info etc. I have written some general instructions about customizing the RUU here. (Notice that in FRUU ModelID.fig is used for the first task29 step and RUU.fig is used for the second step. The dialogs for the first step are part of RUUResource.dll. Dialogs for the second step you will find in CustomizedRomResource.dll. Instead of the setup.bat and setup.vbs I mentioned in the aforementioned post I used the files run.bat and run.vbs. For exra information you can PM me)

Thank you!
Thanks to: doloop (for his non-mtty task 29 tool), ShaDrac (for speeding up doloops procedure) and MysticGenius (for convincing this community that task 29 really is important )
------------------------------------
UPDATE (v1_1 , 17-7-2010): speeded up the first procedure (task29) by flashing the standard HTC bootscreen (1st screen you see when the device boots up). Util is considerably smaller.
Be aware that if you have another bootscreen than the standard HTC bootscreen, it will be overwritten. If you don't like this use the first version (FlashaholicRUU.zip)
Amazing

Not necessary, unless you want to change your radio. Task 29 only formats the rom area and does not remove the radio, so the radio you were using previously will remain.

As Task29 hits 100%, hold the volume down button in, it will reboot back into bootlader mode and you can then run step 2.

Hi everyone Right, so I have a big problem... I've been reading up on flashing, choosing what ROM to use etc for the whole day. As I have a lot of work to do tomorrow I decided to have a go before I hit the bed - how hard can it be anyway ? Should have slept on it and have a fresh start tomorrow...
The sad chain of events:
1. hspl
2. Touch-IT Black Leo HD2 - v4.0
3. it booted into the ROM for a few times but as there was no sim inside i had to turn it off again to perform a hard reset
4. now it just sits in the 1st white screen with the HTC logo
Please don't tell me that forgetting 1st radio 2nd ROM order of things has made me an expensive paperweight ? If yes then it's a really sad lesson on not to do this stuff when ur tired....
Thanks in advance for any help !

Yes, radio not being done first Is the issue but it's easily fixed...
Turn off the phone, hold down the Vol Down button and turn it back on and wait for the tri-colour bootloader screen to pop up. It should say 'Serial' at the bottom. Then plug into your PC and it should change to 'USB' and ActiveSync/WMDC should show connected.
Down load the radio required for the ROM and use CustomRRU to flash the radio and reboot. It should now load up
or else, if EddyOS's solution doesn't work and the problem is worse than that, flash a stock rom from the memory card:
- dl a stock rom,
- exctract the files from the.exe with winrar or anything,
- rename the largest one (.nbh) as LEOIMG.nbh,
- copy it to the root of you micro-sd card (obviously thanks to another card reader...),
- then (with the card back in the hd2) restart your phone in bootloader mode (as explained by EddyOS)
- it will start flashing the phone, just follow the instructions
- when it's done, soft reset.
your phone will be back as new, you can start over:
- hspl
- radio
- rom
Don't flash via SD card, you're more likely to brick your phone - and NEVER flash a full ROM using the SD card method as, if a few have found out, you flash the shipped 2.x ROM you're stuck on SPL2...
Thanks guys for your quick responses !
The solution from EddyOS worked like a charm, I'm a happy camper again
I'll be A LOT more careful in the future and defo not going to do this dead tired again
QAPC.
Cheers,
g0nz
Good to hear!
Just make sure you read the relevent posts fully - I was under the impressions that one ROM I used to use included the radio it needed. It does but you still need the radio on your device in the first place!
Glad you're sorted now though

E;
I'm not sure if this is what usually happens because I am a noob but, my phone has been on the "stick together" screen for a while, afte rinstalling the ROM is it going into the customization stage or something? Or is it bricked?
I have a 1024 Leo, if that helps.
Okay so please don't hate me for this, but I installed the wrong ROM onto my phone, I just realized. Can I just install another rom right over it? Or what do I do from here? I can get into the boot screen.

The thing is, it doesn't turn on past that screen so therefore no ActiveSync connection is available. And I'm not sure how to do it via SD card.

Turn phone off. Press and hold VolDown. Tap the Power Button while still holding VolDown, hold, hold, hold --> BootloaderScreen appears --> Connect USB --> Wait for "USB" shown on Screen instead of "Serial" --> Flash
should I flash the stock ROM just to be safe? or can I go ahead and flash this ROM? I'm 100% this time that it is the correct ROM.

You have several options:
1. Stock ROM --> Custom ROM = Quite clean method
2. Custom ROM = Might not be a clean flash (especially because u had a bad one last time)
3. Use Task29 (cleans the whole ROMMemory) --> Custom ROM = Cleanest method
Dont forget to use a proper Radio for your US-Version and the CustomROM you are using and flash it before you install the entire ROM

See attachment
Make sure you have HSPL (i guess you have installed it as you already flashed a CustomROM)
0. Unpack the zip
1. Go into Bootloader (see some posts above)
2. Connect your Leo to PC
3. Start Task29.exe
4. Follow instructions
5. After finish you Leo will stay on Starting screen
6. Disconnect from PC
7. Remove Battery and insert it back again
8. Again go into Bootloader and connect to PC
9. Flash Radio (After that is finished youll have to take out the Batt again as there is still no ROM to boot )
10. Flash ROM
11. Enjoy an absolutely cleanly flashed HD2
Its really that easy

Yep it was indeed a great invention... One thing: You pointed him to a 512MB Flash Tutorial but he has the 1024MB-Version. Things are not too much different but still you could get into problems, especially as the ThreadOpener seems to be a bit unexperienced.

Hello all,
I have searched (and searched) and came across a lot of info on this site about changing/flashing ROMs, etc etc but was hoping for some simple advice and response to my particular question. I am going to soon have the HTC HD T8285 Australia Telstra model for use in the U.S. on At&T's network. The phone comes stock with WM 6.1, if I chose to change that to perhaps an Energy ROM or Dutty's or whatever (that simulates WM 6.5), what are the simple and basic steps one would need to follow to do that for this particular device? I know there are "how to's" on here, but to be honest they are kinda confusing, overlap or have some if/then parameters that I don't understand as a somewhat new person to flashing a ROM. Can anyone give any specific steps and advice that is easy to follow to accomplish a flash on this phone? GREATLY appreciate the help!!!
i went the same route months ago buying the touch hd from austrailia. you should have some knowledge about flashing else what I'm about to say will sound like greek:
i suggest using uspl to do your flashing. what you will need is uspl or hspl (depending on preference), task 29, radio of your choice since it will come with an old radio, rlphone (i suggest rlphone 1.15 if you choose radio 1.17) of your choice, rom of your choice. below will be the steps i use and i use uspl:
- put phone in bootloader mode (turn phone off and hold vol down button and hit the power button), connect to pc, and run uspl. you will see "uspl 1.15" appear on your screen
- task 29 with the radio nbh in the same folder. once finished your phone will restart but wont go past the "smart mobility" screen. normal; just take teh battery out
- run uspl again. you will see uspl 1.15 again
- download the rom of your choice
done. i can simplify it a lil more, i have detailed instructions home but not here. this is just off the top of my head. whole process should take about 20 mins.
-
Let's say I'm new to doing this, first timer, and I have an HTC HD T8285 that appears to be locked to Telstra. What spelled out steps do I need to take to flash to a new rom? I know how to use a computer, etc..I do it for a living, just not too keen on this stuff and probably need to be spoon fed.
It can't be spelt out any simpler than the Dummies Guide which is posted as a sticky on this forum. If it is difficult for you to scroll upward, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
To be honest, if you can't follow these very clear and simple step-by-step instructions, you'd be better off not doing it.
I used these to flash my HD which, to be fair, is a more complicated process than my previous Orbit. The first couple of times failed because I missed a step through thinking I knew better than the author.
So don't guess, don't skip, just print the instructions, read them through first, assemble the downloads you need then follow the instructions precisely, ticking them off as you go.
This has been a step-by-step guide to following the step-by-step guide already written.
Oh, and you should ask questions about following the guide in that thread, not this one.
Memory/Storage Space?
After flashing a rom (Energy) on this device, just curious if anyone else with the same model (T8285 or T8282) noticed a significant drop in the memory specs as follows??:
"Storage Total" stock spec is 512MB...I show 260MB....where's the missing 252MB??
"Program Total" stock spec is 288MB...I show 190MB....where's the missing 98MB??

thank you for good guide
unfortunately, during the task29 running screen show a error massage (invalid vendor). how i can solve the problem?
great thanks
So i have a pretty much newbie question. I figured out how to load a new rom on my tp2 I am currently using Energy Rom, rom date 3/15/10 with manila 2.520161332.0, radio version 4.4825.20. I am through at&t and i was wondering how i load the newest Energy rom and which one that is? maybe someone could post a link with it, if they have time. Also what do I do for steps as in for loading a new rom when i already have a burnt one on my tp2. Sorry such a newbie question hope I can get some help from experts, thank you.
Might want to look in the ROM Development subforum. The process is covered in detail there.

Thank you for the response, I already did my first flash from stock to energy rom dinik. question is do I have to do the hard spl again? I was reading about task 29 Do i do that to clear this current rom? Then load the new one? I guess my main question what steps do I follow to replace a out dated flashed custom rom?

Ah, that's a much more clear question. Hard SPL is permanent until you flash the stock one back for whatever reason. Basically, it'll stay there until you remove it yourself. task29 is a good idea to do between ROM flashings. It clears out and formats the internal memory. It prevents the device from retaining traces of the old ROM when you flash the new one. Use the order listed below.
1. back up any important data and reboot into bootloader (hold voldown while pressing reset)
2. run task29
3. flash new ROM
4. hard reset (hold talk/send and end while pressing power button)
5. set up the new device
The hard reset is kind of optional, but I do it anyway since I'm kind of OCD like that.

thank you very much this should help just a couple questions (sorry I was very cautious when flashing my first rom as well, because I didn't want to screw anything up).
1. If i dont wanna save any data besides whats on my sim and sd card just remove both before starting any of the 5 steps?
2. Are there any roms with cookie 2.0?
3. In step one you say reboot into bootloader (hold volume down while pushing reset, which button is reset?
4. Task 29 I jus run on my comuter i take it while synced?
Sorry I'm very cautious lol if you cant tell, just want to make sure I dont mess anything up.
Thank you for your help I feel about half way ready to attempt again lol.

All of these questions could have been answered if you read some of the threads available in the ROM development area. You're lucky I'm feeling generous today.
1. Removing the SIM and SD is optional. I never do, but some people swear by it. It's up to you whether you do or not.
2. There are lots of them. Have a look around. You could always install it over an older CHT version or onto a ROM without CHT at all.
3. There should be a tiny reset button hole that your stylus will fit into on the right side of the device under the battery cover. If you have a T-Mobile device, it's right next to the noise-canceling mic on the left side. You should already be in bootloader when you flash anything, including task29.
4. task29 has two files. The *.nbh file can be anything at all. It makes no difference. The *exe that comes with the download is what does the formatting. You should already be in the bootloader before doing this. It will flash the *.nbh file onto the device. When it is finished, it runs the format command from the .exe and formats the device. Once the percentage gets to 100%, it will hang for a moment while the task29 command is running. It takes about 10 seconds while it says 100% on the screen. During this time, hold down the voldown button until it reboots. Once you get back to the bootloader, go ahead and flash your next ROM.
Once you get the hang of it, the whole process shouldn't take you more than about 15 minutes or so. Setting everything back up after a flash is what is so time-consuming. Most ROMs come with some form of an auto-install program designed to install programs and import other data automatically. Read the thread of whichever ROM you choose before diving into it.
Don't ask us for our opinions on which ROM you get either. That's like asking which music you should listen to. Everyone likes different things. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like. Otherwise, you can find hundreds of threads from other users asking "Which ROM should I choose" all over the forum.
Ok. sounds pretty easy, thank you for being so generous and as I was browsing I found a link with how to run the task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5845908&postcount=1 from what i gather on this just sync and run the .exe file and that should take me to the bootloader screen? and the after its done run my .nbh file from my custom rom and should be the end besides setting up the rom? I've seen to many people ask which rom is best and seen the responses people have given them so I know better to ask lol. Thank you once again, I greatly appreciate it.

It sounds like you've got it. Just don't use the customromruu.exe file from the task29 to flash anything other than the nbh that comes with it. It will erase anything it flashes to the internal memory right after flashing it. Any other ruu.exe file is interchangeable for anything else, though.
I downloaded the task 29 zip folder and unzipped it and got a file "task 29 provided by doloop" take it that is what I'm suppose to use? One last question for you, on this sight how do you find the latest version of a rom?

They must have changed the format of the task29 tool. Either that or I've got an older version. Mine's wrapped up nicely in one simple *.exe file. If you downloaded the *.zip from the first post of the task29 thread, then just double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe to begin the process. Where did you download your file from? Provide a link so I can better answer your question.
The latest version of a ROM is normally on the first page somewhere. It varies by chef, however. Some put links as a reply in the thread, so it might be a ways back. Check the first page of posts first. If you don't find it there, ask on the thread. Be sure to read the rules and FAQs of the ROM before posting questions.
The best advice I can give you is to always search first before posting questions. Take the time to show other members that their time is no less valuable than your own, and most members will bend over backward to help you out. If you post without searching or doing work for yourself, it tells other members that your time means more than theirs, and you are more likely to get flamed rather than helped.

Extract and drop the attached file into a folder with that *.exe, and you'll be all set. This file is basically just a tiny OS that it will flash before hand. As I said, once the process gets to 100%, it will hang there for about 10 seconds or so while it formats the memory. It will erase what this file writes anyway. I think the *.nbh from the first post is a HTC boot screen file. That will change the first boot screen you see when the device powers on and you see the red letters at the bottom left of the screen. I don't need to change my boot screen, so I use this one, since the task29 will wipe it out right after, leaving no trace of anything being flashed.
Thank you very much, quick question while your here, got my rom downloaded after the task 29 do i run the .nbh file or rhodium software upgrade? Can't say thanks enough
with the file you gave me after i extraxt with 7 zip it says windows cannot recognize this file? is it cause i have windows 7?

You don't run that file. Put the *.exe into a folder with the*.nbh file I just gave you. You run then double click on the *.exe to begin the task29 process. The *.nbh is a required file. I don't know if it is included in the one you downloaded or not.
On second thought, here are the task29 file I use. Extract to a folder, run the *.exe, be happy, in that order.
Got it work with the two files custom ruu and the .nbh just click the custom ruu one and start from there? Sorry for being a birden.

Make sure the device is connected via ActiveSync, or put it into bootloader and make sure it says USB at the bottom of the screen. After you confirm one of these two scenarios, run the*.exe. Once it gets to 100%, hold the voldown button and allow it to boot back into the bootloader. From there, wait for USB to show at the bottom, and begin flashing the new ROM. I honestly don't think I can make it clearer than this. I hope you get it working.
You've made it very simple i just got to the bootloader screen thank you, it says usb, but when i try to run the custum ruu nothing happens

I assume you meant the *.exe is giving you the message. Turn off antivirus software, and run the file as administrator.
hey guys can anybody help me with how to android OS from windows 6.5 OS..most importantly where can i get android.zip ??
welcome to xda.
so, part of me wants to be helpful and part of me wants to be snarky.

helpful - you need to read, my friend.

just a few threads.
again, welcome. please realize that though new threads are great, most are not necessary and can junk up the board (e.g. this thread). try to search first, then actually try something, then post if issues. cheers.
Obviously didnt even bother to watch the XDA video thats it shown to them when signing up.
Also must lack basic common sense.
So there is a search bar but I'm not going to be rude. Your new to the site so welcome aboard. Your Noob-ness wont last for long. You will pick this stuff up pretty quickly just like most people have.
To get started, you have to find out which Android ROM to use. There are hundreds upon hundreds of different versions that people have made. To begin with, I'd recommend you download and install Cotulla's and DFT's Stock NAND Rom. Very simple yet effective.
Here's the link for that one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
It's somewhat outdated but still works like a charm for most.
You will also need to download 2 programs if you choose to go along with the ROM I mentioned above.
1.) MAGLDR 1.13 Found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618
Download the file associated with it and extract it to your desktop
2.) HSPL Radio 2.08 Found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
You will need to download that file as well.
After you've downloaded all 3 of these files (Android ROM, MAGLDR 1.13, and HSPL Radio 2.08) and extracted them all, then your ready to begin.
First go into your bootloader settings (Have phone turned off>Press Power Button and Volume Down Button at same time).
Have your phone plugged into the USB port of your computer and double click on the HSPL .exe file first. Once that's done, your phone will reboot and go back to the Bootloader screen once again. From there, your going to double click on the MAGLDR 1.13 .exe file and follow the instructions it tells you. Your doing all this with your phone plugged into your computer of course. Once that's all done make sure your phone is turned off. HOLD the power button until theres a screen that pops up on your phone with 12 different options. Scroll down using the volume down button to "USB Flasher" or something similar. click on with the green call button on your phone. Your leaving your phone plugged in through all of this. Once your to that point, and you selected USB flasher, then double click on the ROM .exe and follow the instructions. CONGRATS!! You've installed your first Android ROM.
Here's a couple videos with a step by step process.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me. If I were you though, I'd research quite a bit before you just start doing stuff. Your likely to ruin your phone if you don't have the patience to research first! Good luck to ya!

Hi,
You should also include a mention for a new radio(needed coming from WinMo)and possibly a task 29 to start with a fresh NAND...
@ramkidec11
Make sure you know whether you have a TMOUS or EU/ international phone.
The toolkit suggested by jsmccabe78 is your best friend in this job(read the thread carefully).
Here is a good place to look as well:

When you get MAGDLR working I highly recommend the Typhoon CM7 ROM found here:

You are probably much better of linking people to the AIO HD2 tool rather the separate sections. Its great and includes everything you need to prepare you HD2 for Android or WP7.
[15 Jun 2011][v4.1] HD2 NAND Toolkit - All in one Toolkit for HD2 NAND Users
start with SD versions, they're easy to install and don't destroy your winmo.
I recommend Rafdroid that has a nice installation instructions.
