[q] rom finish but will not work - HD2 General

Ok so I wanted to change the ROM because the ROM that I had kept reseting the phone and freezing and so i decided to change but when I picked a ROM and loaded it, it will not start just stays on the start up screen. Any Ideas?

This happened to me awhile back, it was caused by a corrupt download. But it could be numerous things. Do you have a T-mobile US HD2? What ROM did you flash?
It could also be caused by flashing a ROM not designed for your phone. Thats how a lot of people get bricks. A little more info would help.

yes sir i have a TMO USA phone and i tried to use of KUMARS TMOUS C5 Premium.
So do you think that if I just Flash the phone with a ROM that works this will fix it?

First, make sure it wasn't just the task29 that you performed
Second, go into bootloader and try flashing Kumar's C5 again using a different method (from sd or activesync).
Third, try formatting your sd card to FAT32 if you're flashing from it.
If none of that works you can just try a different ROM or even a stock shipped ROM.

Yeah that exact same thing happened to me awhile back. I guess it was caused by a corrupt download or something of that sort. All i did was go into bootloader and flashed a different ROM from the SD that i know for a fact works. After that, you will be fine.
Just use Mskip's guide
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. If you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

So after you flash sometimes it will let you boot fully into the ROM? And everything works until it freezes again?

yes first boot up it goes fine, i test it out by doin 3 resets prob after the 3rd one it stops working it stays on the bootscreen for ages, then il do more resets and some times it will go through but after 10sec of being done it will freeze and have to repeat until it works again. this happens even when everything is on STOCK ive done task 29 flash via sd card through everything...

Did you try reformatting the SD card, or trying a different SD? I personally have never done a Task29 Via SD, not even sure of the process, though I do one via Active Sync before every flash. Sounds like a defect in hardware, if not the SD, then the phone. Hope the replacement solves your issues, else look closely at the SD card.

Ok so I am so confused, when I flash the phone am i supposed to leave the SD card in the phone? If I just went and bought a new SD card will this fix it. I flashed the phone with a ROM that works and it works for a few days and then freezes then I have to start all over. What do I do this sucks. Is anyone in the Austin texas area that can help me?

HD2 bricked ? Attempted to install UK WWE 1.66 onto Voda HD2 with HPSL

Help!
First time attempt at using HPSL and may have bricked my HD2 :-(
I have a Voda supplied HD2 so can't install the stock ROMs directly...I thought I would be able to do so via HPSL, but it seems not. I was trying to install 1.66 (UK WWE) following the HPSL for dummies guide, and did the following:
- installed HPSL onto HD2, confirmed by going into bootloader
- put nbh file (extracted from stock .exe) onto SD card, named LEOIMG.nbh
- entered bootloader and chose flash option via power button
- flash started (minimal progress)
- within 2mins error showed
- now going into bootloader shows
00028002
Not allow
then..
SPL-1.42.0000 :-(
Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
If I start normally I get a warning triangle.
How can I get my HD2 back from the dead, ideally with 1.66 rather than the crummy Voda 1.43? (can anyone point me at a stock ROM for the voda 1.43, perhaps that would at least unbrick it?)
Help!!!!
*EDIT* Currently downloading the Voda 1.43 image, hoping I can at least get that back and running...if that works will still be keen to find out how to apply stock 1.66 via HPSL (bearing in mind that the CID lock(?) means I can't apply 1.66 on my voda device thru normal means)

The 3rd sticky down in the HD2 ROM Development thread is titled, "[REF]Leo Official ROMs" - Click that.
Then click, "Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs".
The first "box" will have the title "Leo 1.43" under it. Click the hand carrying the folder icon.
You'll be greeted with 3 ROM's, select RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe and download it.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with getting your phone back up and running.
Your device is not bricked. I think you have not installed HSPL properly.
Try installing HSPL again. As it seems your HSPL is not installed properly. Follow the following instructions very carefully :
Connect your phone to USB
I think when you boot in by default your device goes into bootloader if not press volume down + power butoon on the same time, your phone will enter tri color bootloader mode.
At the bottom of your screen it shoul show "USB"
Now download the HSPL.zip file(I have attached it here)
Now run HSPL.exe and follow the onscreen insteuctions.(Mostly you have nothing to do it will start installing automatically)
After a while on the screen of your phone a text will appear saying "We hacked it". If this text is displayed then everything went ok. Now confirm by clicking yes on the computer screen and it will finish the process.
All done.
Your phone will restart.
If you want to check that your fone has HSPL then press volume down+power key at the same time. The phone will enter into bootloader and should show "cotullaHSPL".
Now you can install any ROM and it will run properly.
Thanks - had just found that and started downloading as you posted this..fingers crossed! If this works will still be keen on ways to apply 1.66 (stock) to my voda CID locked device.

This is exactly what happened 1st time I installed HSPL...however trying it again did get the phone back and apparenty healthy again....thanks!
So - 2nd attempt to flash the 1.66 ROM, same as before. Confirmed HSPL installed via tri-colour bootloader screen, selected (via power button) option to flash from SD. Progress bar gets to (max) 10%, Warning triangle briefly shows then phone goes back to tricolour bootloader (but with std. SPL version) and nothing more happens.
Should I be waiting longer ? i.e. is the phone potentially still flashing when on the tricolour, std. SPL, screen ? Not flashed an HD2 before so not 100% sure I'm doing this right..will double check videos on this site, sure I'm just being stupid/impatient/not read enough....may try downloading the ROM again incase corrupted.
Anyway, HSPL installed for 3rd time and phone appears fine back running with 1.43.
People please read the HSPL thread properly, once you have installed the HSPL you CANNOT install from SD card you HAVE TO USE THE PC to install any rom images that are not original HTC.

Yeah, the 1.66 ROM you've downloaded may be corrupted. And next time, try installing the ROM with USB connection and the ROM's .exe file. You SPL is reverting back to stock, so it's possible that the culprit is flashing with SD.
OK, problem solved...
Rather than installing the stock ROM via HSPL bootloader I installed HSPL and then ran the RUU exe for the stock ROM. Phone now upgraded

I believe Dragon Soft was possibly referring to not using a stock ROM from SD? If I remember correctly flashing a Stock ROM from SD with HSPL on will remove HSPL.
So in other words, if you have HSPL and want to have a stock ROM, it is best install it from the PC when connected via ActiveSync as this won't affect the HSPL.
Custom ROM absolutely no probs with flashing from SD, the HSPL will stay intact, good work on the video ★

Ok. I think you were trying to install official ROM. When you install an official rom your bootloader will revert back to SPL...

I got my Leo two days ago, went home, put HSPL on it in the first place, wanted to upgrade the stock ROM, and ended up same as CraigBruce. Really frustrating, thought I'd bricked it. So I re-flashed HSPL and this time a custom ROM and it was back up again.
Now I know that I should have flashed the stock ROM via ActiveSync and not SD card which would have left the HSPL intact. I will definitely remember that for the future
just remember that some people WANT to remove HSPL when installing a stock ROM - e.g. when returning device.
tbh it should have worked with stock ROM and sdcard as leoimg.nbh - it is the way listed in HSPL thread to uninstall after all!!! we dont always want to use customRUU!!!
As from the noob flashing thread
NOTE: The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from microSD card
* You can also use this method to flash back your Stock Rom and Stock SPL that you originally had on your phone*
VIDEO TUTORIAL: [★] has made a YouTube video to walk people through flashing a Stock SPL via activesync. Find it *HERE*
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

With hspl installed you CAN flash CUSTOM roms using sd card, it is only flashing OFFICIAL roms through sd card that removes hspl.
sorry to crash this thread but...
i have flashed HSPL on to my HD2 and am now wanting to install HTC's new 1.66 rom.
i have a VF hd2 so i am a little worried i will hit the same issues as the OP did.
can some one hold my hand through flashing the ROM as im a complete noob to this.. i have read the FAQs and im a bit like with all the acronyms etc

Use the custom ruu to flash it. Do not put the nbh on the sd. I quote from the "[HSPL]How to flash everything" thread:
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- 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.

No Problem Flashhing to 1.66 on a Voda HD2 with HSPL
I have a voda HD2 and being a total Newbie to the HTC / WM .. I followed the Dummie guide.. (thanx to all, for that.. fantastic..) installed HSPL..and then installed the latest 1.66 from the HTC site using a boggus serial number.. As actual would not let me download it. No problemo..
Feeling a bit more adventureous.. any suggestions for the best 'cooked Rom' ??
From my understanding, you can flash away Stock ROMS using activesync. No need for HSPL.

How to flash from SD card ?

I know apparently this isnt the best way to flash your HD2, but im stuck without any access to windows. (mac user)
i cant seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this properly....
is there a link somewhere i can get to so i can figure this out? isnt it as simple as copying the custom.nbh file to the root of my memory card, and entering the bootloader screen?
Sorry for all the noob questions.
take ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sdcard formatted fat32 (2gb cards seen to work best) rename it leoimg.nbh, boot to bootloader and it should detect the image and ask if you want to flash.
it still requires hspl, unless you have a goldcard(easier to borrow a pc for two minutes to apply hspl than make a goldcard)
the phones already been flashed with hspl.
i just want to change the rom!
Thanks for the tips im going to go for it right now

Hi
One advice you have to remember is DO NOT flash any official rom with this method. If you do it will replace the hspl and you will be stuck.
Good luck

True, flashing a stock rom via sd card will overwrite hspl with the new stock spl, but you will not necessarily be stuck. That used to be the case before hspl2, as the original hspl only worked with spl 1.42.0000. HSPL2 now works with 1.42.0000, 1.66.0000 or 2.08.0000 spl's.
or just throw your mac away and buy a PC
What many forget is that you actually need an SD card and not SDHC, as those will not work.
understand u already flash hspl,
microSD / microSDHC will work as long it is formatted with FAT32 fs.
just copy the *.nbh to SD root & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.
enter bootloader, follow on-screen.
if bootloader cant find any rom image, run scandisk & try again.
gd luck.
I just flashed this rom.
It seemed to be fine. It installed and looked a-ok.
I had a look around and every thing looked as it should.
I added "26.4 column Start menu.cab" and now the phone won't reboot at all.
It gets to the HTC white screen, and then hangs.
Any ideas?
Is it a conflict between the 4 columns app and the ROM?

when you say "just flashed this rom", what rom?
also, did you read ALL the first few posts in the chefs thread? chances are it requires a specific radio version
either that or you didn't do a hard reset after you flashed.
apologies, I replied in here when I thought I was in the HTC Energy thread.
The device rebooted after the flash.
Does that not count as a hard reset?
samsamuel said:
Is it T Mobile usa? if so, then you have flashed an incompatible rom.
tmous (T Mo US) phones will opnly take roms based on 2.10, the rom you have installed is 1.66 (D 1. 66. Kumar)
Kumar has a rom in the Tmo US section based on 2.10, you should use that, not the one in teh normal hd2 section.
With power off, press and hold "volume down", tap the power key and continue to hold vol down until you get the three coloured screen, connect to usb, wait for word 'serial' to become 'usb' and flash a compatible rom.

I ran into the same problem and all I had to do was to get the phone into Bootloader and then flash the radio recommended by ROM Cook.
also the same problem
I have also this problem, but I think it's in the rom, when I installed the rom, everything seems ok, but after a reset, the screenthat I get is the white HTC screen.
After a hard reset it is ok, but after a reset it is the same problem.
Then I thought, i take an older rom, but when I've installed the rom he is automatic installing the cab file's at the end of the installation, and he's going to automatic reset the HD2. After the reset I have the same problem as with the new rom.
So the biggest problem is that I can't install another rom or radio because the rom don't start for 100%, and when I do a hard reset, after the reset at the end of the installation I get the white HTC screen.
What can I do, can I fix this problem?

RTFM. These constant posts about white screen hangs are really getting frustrating. Does nobody follow the forum rules of searching any longer? There's nothing wrong with the rom, the user on the other hand I'm not so sure of.

If you bothered to read even just the last 5 pages of the Energy thread you would have seen probably 20 mentions of the problem. Energy rom won't work with a x.xx.51.xx radio.

Issue with my HD2

Hey so i just picked up an hd2 on craigslist. when the seller handed my the phone he showed me the phone working and then did a hard reset so i thought nothing of it and took the phone while it was resetting. then while waiting for it to boot i noticed it was taking quite a while so i took out the battery and let it reboot, it turned on then froze on the homescreen. i've tried several hard resets and have gotten the phone to the point where it works but only after putting in a removing the battery several times and the phone sticking on the "stick together" logo. I was going to try to do the newest tmobile update on the phone using the one available on their website but now i have an issue plugging the phone into the computer or wall adapter as it will make the phone freeze and ill have to go back through my removing the battery 5 times process. is this some sort of common issue with a common fix or should i take the phone to tmobile or htc and see what they can do for me. i dont have a receipt as a purchased the phone on craigslist so im not sure tmobile will do anything for me.
Edit: i can now connect my phone to the pc i'm trying to update to 2.13.531.1 but i got to 8% but the update froze there and the phone currently has no image version. I'm using windows 7 ultimate and ive tried to run as administrator and with xp service pack 3 compatibility.

I would put the phone in boot load manually by holding the volume down button while turning it on, and remove the memory card and then reflash the tmobile rom
can someone also help me figure out how to get the ruu.nbh file off this rom and how big it should be so i can try to flash it from the sd card. thanks

i found a .nbh file on my computer that was 4mb and renamed it leoimg.nbh then tried putting it on a freshly formatted fat 32 micro sd car and went into bootloader mode but the phone gives me an upgrade error, asks me to try again and just goes to a white "loading..." screen now the phone is stuck here. its like the newest issue is the one im stuck with. now i cant get the phone to sync with the computer or run the .exe to recognize the phone

What error did it give you? Found an nbh file? was it from a stock rom? Do you have Hard SPL on it? If it doesnt have HSPL on it then you will only be able to load a stock rom

no i have not run hard spl so i can only install a stock rom a suppose. the exe gets stuck at 8%, i have no idea where the right nbh file is. i read somewhere when you run the exe it installs the nbh in a temp folder but im not sure i found the right one. ive also downloaded task29 and tried to run as admin but it doesnt do anything just goes to the htc install screen and stays at 0% Getting frustrating it was working fine actually before i tried to install the new tmobile software update. ive read that task29 gets rid of extra leftovers of other roms and might help the exe finish up on the phone and get past that 8% wall but it doesnt seem to be working for me
right click the stock exe file choose extract here, will give 9 or so files, one of them is about 200meg and is called ruu_signed.nbh that's the file you want.
randomly flashing nbh files that you don't know what they are, that's about the stupidest thing you can do...... you deserve a brick for being an idiot.

lol thank you for the words of encouragement, so i've extracted the .nbh file its 268mb, renamed it to leoimg.nbh tried the update from the sd card and it fails at the radio says, update terminated, update FAIL. any idea where to go from here?
Edit: i've run hspl3 on the phone is boot loader mode and have also run task29 from doloop but still get the same error with the tmobile file. 8% using the exe and FAIL trying to flash from the sd card
heh you're welcome. (i was harsh to make the point,,, if you found a random bottle of liquid that said petrol on it, you wouldn't put it in your car till you were sure it was petrol, right?)
as to why it failed, i'm not sure, i think i'd probably hspl3, choose 2.08.hspl, then try flash a radio on its own (see the tmous radio thread) because it could be a bad radio.
just please confirm the exact filename of the .exe you extracted ruu_signed from?

The first exe file, which got to 8 percent then went red and failed was
T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1
After hspl3 and using task29 i tried flashing this exe which gets to 99% and fails
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42
that second one, did you flash from sd card? cos its a manufacturing test rom, and if so then you may now be stuck with a test spl of 2.02, and if so things just got a heap worse,,,
go into bootloader and tell me what it says next to spl

i tried flashing using the .exe method in bootloader mode. next to spl it reads -2.08.hspl 8g XE
it now says
Upgrade ROM code error
ah ok, good.
so, it seems to be the radio causing the error, so since you have hspl installed, why not try a custom rom? they don't include a radio, so it may bypass the problem.

Which do you suggest, i bought the phone so that i could ultimately install android on it. but it seems i'd be lucky to even have wm running on the thing
Edit. just tried kumars classic rom, renamed to leoimg tried running off the sd card, The update finishes successfully but after i hit the reset button on the back of the phone i just see the tmobile stick together logo and the phone doesnt boot. Do a lot of people struggle with the hd2s or do i just have a bad example here?
well unfortunately i think you may have a dud. its the radio that is preventing it from booting.
it could be the radio from that test rom, it could be something else (but still the radio)
options...
its still under warranty, speak to t mobile and/or htc, but don't mention flashing and be sure to remove hspl if you do send it back. (run hspl3, choose 2.08.0000, that's stock)
or
look on here for a user called xmoo, he knows a lot about this sort of problem, (im just good with regular flashing issues)
im having the same issue so if you believe its the radio will installing different radio maybe fix the problem?
i;ve tried installing a new radio from the sd card. it goes red and fails
It sounds like a hardware issue at this point. I'm willing to bet you fried something when you pulled the battery in the middle of the master reset.
Hope thats something htc will cover. Phones on its way over

[Q] Restoring to Factory Settings

Hey guys,
So my HD2 recently started having the same issue a lot of you guys are having with the touchscreen just dying or being very unreliable. This past week I've had trouble getting past the lock screen and today it takes me half an hour to a full hour of attempts to make it past the lock. Once I do, however, the screen works fine until it's locked again.
I'm about two weeks away from warranty ending, so I want to get this bad boy sent in ASAP. A year ago I flashed a custom ROM onto the phone and haven't modified it until this morning when I installed MAGLDR 1.13 and NAND Android ROM. The new ROM worked great but didn't resolve the touchscreen issue at all.
What I want to do is completely restore the phone to how I bought it from T-Mobile US a year ago. I don't want the replacement voided because of the custom ROM, though it clearly has nothing to do with the error.
Not being very technically proficient with this stuff (aside form the dozens of hours I've spent reading up), what is the best way to go about this?
So far I tried doing a Hard Reset manually via the VolUpDown/EndCall button boot, but that just booted me into NANDroid after the reset. I tried downloading WinMo from the T-Mo site, but it's asking for a phone identification number I can't access because of the lack of touchscreen access.
Any help/advice you guys can offer would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You can get the IMEI number from behind the battery to download the rom from t-mobile.
This was explained to me by another member here
Right click the ROM file you download from the T-mobile site and rename the .exe to a .zip and then you can explore the file to find the RUU_signed.nbh file. You want to copy the RUU_signed.nbh file to the root of your SD card (make sure it has been formated to FAT32) and rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh. then place the SD card in the HD2. Boot the HD2 imto bootloader and as soon as you see searching on the screen let the volume down button go. It should ask if you want to flash the imageand you will have to press the end button to confirm and it will flash the ROM.

Removing WP7, HSPL, Magldr and flashing back to stock rom

Hello,
I have installed WP7 few days back and want to get back to stock rom.
Now I have 3 question
1.) How to uninstall HSPL4?
2.) How to uninstall DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF?
3.) How to uninstall WP7 and get back stock ROM?
easy my friend
download an original stock ROM, boot the phone in to bootloader mode and flash away, it will reset SPL, RADIO and ROM, and in so doing it will remove everything you have asked
there are only 2 ways to remove hspl:
1. flash the stock rom from sd card;
2. (recommended) select the spl version you want upon re installing hspl2+
a more complete guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
ok now im confused dazza9075 say's just flashing a stock rom will remove all tht i want that wud b wonderful but then antaed says der is only two way n flashing stock rom won't remove HSPL that is wht i can make out
Flashing a stock ROM will remove WP7, MagLdr etc.. but I believe that HSPL will still remain on your device. To remove HSPL either install ROM from SD card or boot into bootloader, connect to USB and then re-run HSPL from your PC. In the drop down box you should see an option for an SPL version of 2.08.
Flashing the stock rom from sd card will remove everything. I am more than 100% sure of that cos i have done that time without number.
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0X05
MicroP(Touch) 0X50
This was how it use 2 look like before installing HSPL so should I still select 2.08 or sud I go with the other method flashing the stock rom frm sd card
and how to flash what i know is as below.
1.) Take a "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
2.) Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
3.) As u switch on the device hold the volume down button vich will boot into tri color screen after that will it boot me into the bootloader(screen in white with option to select if im not wrong) automatically or i have to press any key.
4.) Once i get there just select the update and green button and after the update is complete remove the battery put it back in n switch on n done. right?
If you don't want to deal with the sd card, another option is to flash the 2.08 spl and then flash your stock rom. The stock rom will overwrite the spl and put it back to factory. This is the method I use.

If you're going to flash back to stock, be sure to task29, then flash stock to avoid any remnants from the previous flash.

aye it does, its very simple and works a treat, if you do that it will clear it all, however it is worth doing a task29, not something you have to do but its worth it in the long run
Thank u guys so much I flash the stock rom thru sd card and all is gone and got my winmo 6.5 back on my device.
Just want to confirm this must have removed everything that i have asked especially HSPL and MAGLDR?

yup it sure does, again, if your wanting to be sure that there are no nasty files left behind do the task29, but since you have changed OS completely i doubt very much there would be much in the way of cross over.
the MAGLDR is easy to check, does it appear when you restart it?
the HSPL is a bit harder to check, power off the device, hold the vol down button and tap the power button, keep holding the vol down and it will boot to bootloader
any mention of HSPL. (mine says SPL-2.08.HSPL) and HSPL is still on, if its not then all is good
just like dazza very well said, you have removed everything by flashing the rom from the sd card.
i also agree task 29 could have been very good practice to avoid any leftovers, very similar to performing a memory format.
if you decide to do it, make sure you reinstall hspl first! guide for task 29 here, including a very nice video:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
in short, you'd have to follow these steps:
1. install hspl
2. task 29
3. flash stock rom
4. uninstall hspl (not necessary if you flash the rom from the sd card)
Edit:
So based on the information provided by T-Macgnolia below, you should only do steps #3 and #4 via PC/USB.

I am not really sure about when you flash via SD card if it does this or not because you are using the flashing software/program that in part of the SPL. But I do know when you flash via RUU (USB) the RUU does a task 28. So if you flash via RUU it is no reason to run a Task 29.

i agree on all counts, i suppose the way to look at it is that it wont hurt it so there is nothing to lose from doing it...
personally i think the whole task29 business has been over rated.
After flashing the ROM through sd card when the device first booted i checked whether HSPL is present but it was not and it was back to SPL what i has to use previously before installing HSPL. After that inorder to boot back into system when I rebooted the system I didn't receive any loader it booted as it use boots previously after flashing a stock rom.
Then again I flashed the stock ROM but this time through computer and thats it.
Do i still need to perform anything else?

aye thats correct, your all done, flashing a stock ROM will like this will always remove everything, RADIO, SPL and the ROM its self, its the best way to fix screwups, many "bricked" devices arnt actually bricked, as long as you can get in to the bootloader you should be fine.

Mate,
You should firstly EXTRACT the .exe file using 7Zip or WInrar.
Then find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh
Then rename it with: leoimg.nbh
Format your micro sd card with FAT 32.
Copy the above file to your root directory of your card.
Then go into bootloader and follow the onscreen instruction.
Just remember if you flash it with Shipped ROM, it will erase your HSPL and MAGLDR too.
Cheers...
