Unable to flash new ROMs on Blackstone

Hi,
I am running Miri_WM65_21501_V8.2_Premium with hardSPL 1.56 and have been trying to flash Miri_WM65_21222_V10.0_Premium. When I try and flash using the SD card the bootloader starts ok and "Loading..." appears on the screen but no progress is made.
When I try flashing via the PC the progress bar appears but never gets past 0%, eventually the process times out and I remove the battery and can reboot the phone fine.
I have tried various different ROMs, including the 8.2 version that I am running and the latest ROM from Dutty and get the same result everytime. Other than the ROM upgrade issue the phone is working fine.
Any help appreciated

What does your bootloader say? SPL-1.56.OliNex?

Sorry, my mistake on the SPL version it is 1.54
The bootloader says:
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
I upgraded from 1.14 a couple of weeks ago for the Miri ROM.

If your bootloader says 1.54.0000 you haven't got HSPL or USPL installed on phone.
All you need to do is either flash HSPL or USPL before flashing new rom

[Q] Have SPL 2.10 - Getting Error Message when DL Magldr..

I need help....
I am trying to install Android but I noticed I have SPL 2.10 and when i am tryin to install any version of Magldr I keep getting error message.
I have tried DL Version 1.11 and 1.13 and it gets stuck on the loading screen and then get the error Message.
Can anyone Help me please.
My HD2 with windows just keeps on freezing up on me constantly and I really luv this phone so I want to install Android....
HELP!!!!!

You need to flash hspl 2.08
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Once, I flash that then I can Install any version of Magldr???
I will try that and let you know.
Thanks....

Yeah you need HSPL 2.08.HSPL ]
You can then flash anything you want from there like radio's, WinMo custom ROM's, MAGLDR and cLK. Make sure you choose 2.08.HSPL and not 2.08.0000 from HSPL2/3/4 on your PC.

Problem solved. I was able to flash HSPL 2.08 and I now have Android on my phone...
Thanks a bunch to all for your help...
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q]Help: is this HD2 dead?

First, sorry if I post the kind of question that has been already asked 1000 times, I'll understand if my post is deleted.
here is the story: I still have an HD2, but got a Sensation almost one year ago.
Now my HD2 is still WinMo 6.5 with Android from the SD card.
Yesterday, one of my pupils (yes, I'm a teacher, and my pupils know I'm into smartphones....!) gave me his HD2 because his father kinda bricked it.
I haven't been using my HD2 or reading XDA HD2 section or a long time (I'm too busy flashing my Sensation, so reading Sensation threads ), but I thought I could give it a try to unbrick it, I'm not a noob after all (selfish guy!!!!!!!!!)
I think this HD2 was somehow bricked while trying to install Android into NAND, or installing MAGDLR, as far as my pupil can tell from his dad
So this Sensation can't boot and has this, written in the 3 colours screen
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.00 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
icroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again

Here is the state I had this HD2, unable to boot, just able to get into bootloader with the message above.
I tried to flash latest Dutty ROM (because I was using Dutty creme of the creme at my HD2 time!)
=> through USB, flash freezes sometimes at 2%, sometimes 75%
=> through SD card: it flashes, says it's successful, but the device doesn't boot, back to three colors screen, or white screen with error message if trying to boot normally
I tried task29: full of errors, not better after flashing a ROM
I tried flashing a shipped "official" ROM => same as custom ROM, says success, flashed through SD card, but never boots to something else than 3 colors screen..
I tried factory reset, said successful, but still no boot!!
I tried flashing a Radio ROM=> flash successful, but still no boot
I tried flashing HSPL again, 2.08 and previous versions: it flashes OK, can see the changes in three colours screen, but no success flashing a ROM after
I noticed that sometimes, this HD2 vibrates 7 times quickly in a row, which my own HD2 had never done, and I suppose it's a very bad signal
I'm not a noob at all, but really can't follow every thread, and tried the search function with no real luck.
Is this HD2 definitly bricked? Is there something I can do?
Sorry again to seem so noob, I would have flammed someone posting like me, when I was following HD2 development everyday, before having my Sensation (and a Moto Defy for my wife)

see the line ''SPL-2.08.00 8G XE'' (you actually mean 2.08.0000) well teh .0000 tells you its NOT hspl, its a stock spl, so nothing will flash.
run hspl 2,3 or 4 and choose ''2.08.hspl''. Flashing, task29, magldr, all that will now flash.

THANKS!
how stupide I am (or too long away from WinMo)
I had tried hspl2 that was unable to do the job, hspl4 did it
So now I have spl 2.08.hspl
...but face other problem:
task29 fails: it launches OK but my HD2 disconnects from USB as soon as task29 starts its process
if I try to flash a custom ROM (the dutty one my own HD2 is still using), via usb, same, usb disconnects (it wasn't before I flashes hspl 2.08)
If I try flashing as a LEOIMG with microSD, it feezes at about 2/3 of the process
trying to flash a shipped ROM leads to errors, back to three colors screen with "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"
...not to mention each time it replaces the hspl by stock spl
Any idea?

don't run flashes from running winmo, enter bootloader manually, when serial --> usb, run your flash/task29 or whatever. (Gorget about task29, it isnt necessary)
alternatively, if you do run it from running winmo, then once the phone has restarted and the usb has timed out, simply run teh flash program again, and dont touch teh phone, since it will now be in bootloader, and my above note takes over.

because that's the way to remove hspl, , flash a stock rom from sd. Step 1 of sd flashing is the spl gets flashed, removing hspl, the phone then restarts and tries to flash the stock rom, but now that hspl has gone it fails, since you aren't using the correct stock rom for that particular phone.
Try this, get the stock 3.14 rom ( filename will be RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship )
EDIT - you dont have a tmous, right? if you do, dont do this!)
phone into bootloader
use hspl4 to set 3.03.hspl
phone into bootloader
flash the 3.14 rom over usb.
report back.

Man, I'm on the good way!
3.03.hspl seems to be the key, when 20.8hspl wasn't
While the stock 3.14 ROM finished to download, I could run a Task29 till the end, no more USB disconnecting.
Crossing fingers!
I'll edit this post once I've tried to flash the stock 3.14 ROM
Huge thanks to you !!!!

2.x spl is not a stock spl for regular hd2's, only tmous, so whilst it does work, it does introduce the odd problem. for example you cant sd flash stock roms with 1.x versions when you are currently on 2.x.
SO, with a regular hd2, any time you wanna return to stock or are having flashing troubles of some kind, it is always worth using hspl.exe (2,3 or 4 , doesnt matter) to remove the 2.x spl/hspl.
For me, I always go back to 1.66.0000 using hspl2 before i even try to flash a stock rom. Since i choose a 0000 ending, it will be updated as required by the stock rom.
Fingers crossed it helped.

[Q] Phone Locked! ... gods help me o.O

hello ... uhm, i was ... what i was!? ... well, i tried to return my phone from hspl to ospl version, i flashed magldr and android to windows stock rom, but, when i tryed to flash it from hspl to spl i did this :
- Extracked 'Ruu.signed.nbh' and changed it name to 'leoimg.nbh' than i copied it to my sd card and then i tryed to hard reset my phone ...
- The loading screan was activated and tryed to update something, but then it crashes and now i cant do anything .... i can't flash anyrom, any spl, any bootloader ... it always says that 'Software wasn't updated' (or something like that) .... it seams like its locked ...
so, pls, help me to fix this thing.... thx XDA gods ^_^

We know you're worried, but you have given no details at all,, what model hd2, what stock rom you flashed, what spl shows in bootloader(don't assume you know, check it visually again now) what exactly "the loading screen started..... crashed...blah blah" actually means.
Details details details.

oh god, how rude of me ... well, im useing htc leo hd2 t8585 and i have stock rom windows mobile 6.5 //3.14.405.2// now, but before that i had android 2.3.7 gingerbread 1.1.3 magldr and 2.08 hspl ... i sucessfully removed android and magldr but hspl remains the same .... than, i tried to remove hspl with ospl and when i try to hard reset my phone i see loading screen of ospl but then it pops 'Not allowed' screen .... like its locked or something .... and when i try to boot my phone it stucks again there and redirect me to HSPL picture (u know those colors) and pops the message 'rom update is not finished, try again later ' ... i know it sounds ****ed up

Run Hspl4 with phone in bootloader, choose 3.03.0000, flash stock rom again. If you still get errors you aren't using the correct stock rom for your region/provider.

to remove hspl download hspl2 and flash the 1.42.0000spl !!

That's dangerous advice without checking if its deff not a tmous. LOADS of tmouses have been bricked by the owner trying to get to spl 1.x
Just cos he said its a t8585, it wouldn't be the first time a tmous user has referred to it as an 8585

[Q] help needed,, my htc hd2 doesnot boot up! pls HELP

I bought an HTC HD2 FEW WEEKS BACK FROM ONE OF MY FRIEND.
I DO NOT HAVE THE HISTORY OF WHAT HE TRIED TO DO WITH IT.
BUT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK/DEAD , HE GAVE TO ME FOR CHEAP.
NOW THIS PHONE IS UNDER WARRANTY TILL AUG-2012 AND IS FROM VODAFONE.
(EVEN AFTER INSTALLING ANDROID IT IS VOID)
HE MUST HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ROM/HSPL TO GET TO THIS POINT.
PROBLEM:
When I power up the phone, it displays a NRG LOGO SCREEN (energize software), and it gets stuck on it forever.
When I do hold the power down button, then it comes up with the three colour screen and it says SPL-2.08.0000, AND also says rom update failed (only if i try to install and then start up)
The phone does connect through USB when it is on the three colour screen, but it does not let me install the rom or the spl...
I have tried literally every single step possible. I have tried to do task 29, i have tried install the original rom, i have tried to put the rom in the sd card and try it that way..
Some times after several hundred attempts, it does let me change the spl... as it was displaying 3.... before then i changed to 1.4..... and then to 2.08...
All i want to do is to get rid of the NRG SCREEN, so i could send to the htc ,, for repair ( i know that it is not under warranty if i used andriod, but they will not know) .. or is there any way to completely format the phone,,, is there any solution to install andriod or microsoft? pls help

The nrg screen shouldn't be a problem, but spl 2.x will definitely be refused, since spl 2.x is only for t mo USA hd2's.
As for "spl 2.08.0000 and software update failed",, someone tried to flash a non matching rom from SD whilst hspl was installed, result, hspl removed, stock tmous spl installed which then checks your phone vs the rom, finds a mismatch and gives software iupdate failed.
it wont boot because there is no rom to boot, it was wiped at the start of the flash.
Here's what I'd do
First to be sure its really broke (from your description there are a half dozen reasons why it wont start)
Use hspl4 to set spl 3.03.hspl NOT 3.03.0000
flash the wwe 3.14 rom from USB.
Alternatively, to make the phone warranty safe, again set spl 3.03.hspl (or 1.42.hspl or 1.66.hspl,, note that at no time am I using 2.08 or 2.10 spl) flash a stock splashscreen (several threads available)
Then use hspl2 again but this time choose the same spl but ending 0000.
Its the spl that is the real key, people have sent back hd2s with cooked roms and splashscreens, and no problems, but send a regular hd2 back with a spl that reads "x.xx.hspl " or any spl/hspl starting 2.x and they will refuse
Just cos it used to have android on doesn't mean a thing, they can't tell.

Okay...
Let me be specific
Thank you for your reply
Now it has successfully flashed the 3.03 hspl...
Now the problem is after that.. when I flash the rom I.e 3.14xxxx pr 2.10xxx it will just start as usual and when it reaches 99%, it gets stuck and then the error box opens up.. after the recovery, the same thing happens over and over again.. these are the original from but I have also tried other roms and they stuck at different %s
Help

Shame, Well, I guess the splashscreen is back to stock now? In which case remove hspl (set it to 1/3.xx.0000) and it will be warranty safe.

I have the same problem ! I have intalled the NRG Rom for HD2 Leo EU and every thing was good it works smooth, by i have download an app form Google Play "Beats Audio" with make somethin wrong with the drivers of DSP and HTC Music so i decide to re install the Rom and i fallow the steps for that i make a partitation for 200mb and then do the other steps...but at the end when i install the NRG Rom and start it for first time it freez on the NRG ENERGIZE logo saying "Please wait..." i wait for 30 min nothing... What can i do ???
