OK there's a LOT of confusion between all the threads on exactly how to switch languages and official ROMS etc etc. The fix I have here (not entirely created by me, I believe Cmonex, Jesterz and the QMAT people are to be thanked) I'm just summarising to make it easy for any noobs here
This will enable you to replace your official ROM (any language) with another official ROM (any language etc). IT is NOT an SPL fix so no custom ROMs will work yet. It also won't SIM unlock your phone.
---
Note: There seems to be a problem flashing the Current Russian ROM to a WWE EU/US/Asia HTC Leo. I advise anyone NOT to flash the Russian ROM for the moment, until a fix has been found. (Its been guessed that the Russian ROM is either locked, non-official or written for a slightly different version of the HTC Leo (perhaps version 110)

Things we need:
-MicroSD card, anything over 512MB is good enough.
-HTC LEO...just in case you forgot
-QMAT 5.06 (other methods available but this is easiest) installed
-An Official HTC rom that you wish to write to your phone (any language). Some can be found here . The examples included here involve RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1...
-a zip utility eg the free 7zip installed.
-----
1: Format your SD card to FAT32.
--a: Plug your phone into your windows PC, select DISKDRIVE on your LEO
--b: The Drive should be visible in Windows as REMOVABLE DISK
--c: Right Click and Format > Format to FAT32 (best to untick quick format)
2:Allow non signed Software on the Leo
--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit also original PHM Site (offline at the moment)
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
3:Get the SD card's Serial number.
--a: Unplug your HD from the PC and Plug it back in select ACTIVESYNC on your LEO
--b: Run QMAT, Select Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD> Get serial
--c: It should give you a long Serial number, take note of this number for step 4:
--d(optional): Most people have better success by replacing the first 2 letters/numbers with 00 (zero zero) then use this number for the next step
4: Get your Gold Card.
--a: Goto the very generous people over at QMAT again. (NO LONGER FREE - alternative method coming soon)
--b: Input your email and in the CID box put your SD card Serial number from the step above
--c: Click continue and you should receive a goldcard.img file in your email.
5:Rewrite your SD card with the Goldcard
--a: Get yourself a HexEditer. Install and run it. (Win 7 & Vista users - run this as Administrator)
--b:Unplug and replug your HTC LEO select DISK DRIVE on the LEO
--c:Go to Extra Tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
--d:Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier. Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
--e:Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
--f:Click on the “removable disk” tab. Highlight the offset from 00000000 to offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
--g:Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
--h:Reboot the HTC Leo
At this point if you have an O2 phone or experience "00028002 not allowed" aftter completing the 6 (Normal) step, then see below for the 6 (O2 Phones) step. (Some phones not just O2 Phones will not work with 6 (Normal) and vice-versa.
6 (normal): Put your Favourite OFFICIAL Rom on the Leo
--a:Right click on your exampleOFFICIALrom.exe and Extract it to a folder
--b:From the extracted file locate RUU_signed.nbh and rename it LEOIMG.nbh
--c:Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to your MicroSD card
--d: Make sure your phone is charged at least 80% then power it off
--e: Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press POWER button
--f: A menu will appear select (usually the power button) to continue to write the ROM
--g:After 5-10 minutes the phone should tell you the ROM was successfully written and the bar is full. You can now press reset (the small Red button beside the battery, use a pen)
-----
6 (O2 Phones): Put your Favourite OFFICIAL Rom on the Leo
--a: Unplug your phone and plug it back in, set it to ACTIVESYNC
--c: Run the exampleROM.exe file it will guide you through the update process.
-------
7: Your done
That's it, it should now boot up in the ROM and language of your choice.
If there's anything I left out or anything you'd like to add just let know on this thread. Also keep us up to date on how it worked for you.
Enjoy
If after using the Hex Editor you are asked for FORMAT your disk again (and unable to put LEOIMG.NBH on the SD card) you can follow on from these steps (from Sickboy6th)>
1. Format SD card from within WinMo
2. Place LEOIMG.NBH on the SD card
3. Read CID with QMAT
4. Request GoldCard.img with CID
5. Write the goldcard to the SD, by having ActiveSync active, and "Write Image" in QMAT.
6. Reboot to bootloader (I used some tool that is included with the homebrewed "Service Pack, update 4" available for LEO in these forums).
P.S.
Please be careful when selecting a ROM. Some ROMs are pre-release only and may contain a "timebomb". (e.g A previous release of ROM 1.48) If it is a pre-release with "timebomb", the device will lock at a specific date and you won't be able to access anything on your phone or go beyond a simple lockout screen. The only fix would be to flash a new ROM.
Sticking this tutorial for now!
THANKS !!!!!!
Works like a charm!
Thanks and BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
good job mate ! self explanatory tutorial ...!
Viperbjk - Thanks for LEO Goldcard & QMAT
Cmonex - Thanking you for HSPL's (for my Diamond and HD) and for any work you did on this.
Jagnet - Thanks for the tutorial
Have just flashed HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2 over the top of my UK edition 1.43
Comments on the tutorial - Step 3(d) - I'm not sure you need to replace the leading two characters of the SD CID with zero's as I didn't do this initially, then requested another (with the leading zero's) and the two .img's delivered back to me are identical.
Apart from that - the tutorial worked like a dream - thanks again everyone ...
cmonex - not sure I really want HSPL until 4th January or my wife will be upset at me constantly flashing (the HD2 that is) over the Xmas break so from my point of view take it slowly ...

Doesn't work for me
After an "Update successful" and reboot i get a black screen with this message:
Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware.
Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service centre
I've tried to flash from WWE to Russian
How long have you been waiting for the email (with the image file) to arrive? I've requested it about 4 hours ago (twice) and got nothing so far. Maybe I'm just unlucky

Arrived almost instantly. Check your "spam" folder
Nice tutorial.
So it should be able to flash an official ROM over a T-Mobile branded one?
I'm asking, because you say "original to original", but also that it's because "cannot flash custom ROMs". =)
Thanks!!!...
a lot for this very good step by step introduction!
Changed from NLD to GER very successfull!!
Nice work!
tried to flash RUS ROM...
Start flashing.... ends flashing...
Displays:
LEOIMG.nbh - OK
RADIO_V2 - OK
RCUST - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
OS - OK
CONFIGDATA - OK
RUU_WALLPAPER1 - OK
RUU_WALLPAPER2 - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS
reboot...
Your OS ROM isn't costomized
for your hardware.
Please reflash the proper
ROM code or contact the
service centre
then reflash to WWE - all OK.
what's wrong?
Worked pretty well ... Thanks for the tutorial and thanks to viperbjk for the goldimage ...
Great work and thanks a lot for this tut, I was going crazy not knowing what to do with my goldcard image.
Thank you for your tut.
I didn't realize that and was going crazy on how to do this work!
Waiting for HSPL now
Thanks for the great tutorial and thanks to everyone else involved with the tools to make this possible. I now have my O2 HD2 running official WWE rom and sim unlocked.
Still have a problem with Orange voicemail icon on the notifications bar, and Orange sending me strange text messages when I try and remove voicemail messages.
Great tutorial, much appreciated, but a small request, Would it be possible to add to, or a separate guide on How to dump/backup our installed Rom ?
It maybe common knowledge for You old hands but I've searched and not found anything on "leo" Rom backup.
Besides it being a good policy to keep a safety backup, I'm sure some of Us may need to revert the Rom if the phone had to be returned for service
Thanks again

Thank you for this guide! The "Norwegian" HTC translation was driving me insane.
I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
I am upgrading to the wp7 rom, my radio is 2.8x, I have installed magldr112 via the DFT cab file, device restarts and then hangs on the start up screen.
I know ive read about this here on the forums but cant seem to find the post again.
Could someone help please before I go crazy?!
Cheers
I had a problem like this and found it was something to do with the PC I was installing it from. I install the whole thing again on another PC and it worked fine.
The 2 main differences with the PC was one was Vista 32bit and the other was 7 64bit.
Not sure if this is relevant at all but I hope it helps.

I am installing it from my Windows 7 64bit.
Did you find you had the same issue on a 64?
I've just tried on a 32 bit machine and still the same.
I was using energizer 6.5.x rom and now it hangs on the NRG boot screen.
Getting worried now!
Any ideas? I've been sat here for nearly an hour trying to resolve this. I cant be the only one surely?
Nope, I'm stuck at the same step.
Can re-install MAGLDR112, but it always just re-starts and get stuck at the white htc screen.
Actually I'm past that bit...woohoo!
Reset the device back to the loader and installed an updated radio (Radio_2.10.50.19_2.zip) and now it boots into the MAGLDR112.
Give that a go mate.

so we cant use wifi if we want mem card?
Do you have installed HSPL208?
MAGLDR won't work with HSPL142 or HSPL166 (stop at white screen)
I'm not sure. WP7 couldn't see my SD card anyway (look in "about" in settings to see available memory) and I found other posts suggesting removing the SD card will allow Wifi to work.
I'm searching now to see if I can get an SD card that will actually work. Has anyone actually got an SD card working in a WP7 HD2?

2) How can I install Flash player?

this is infuriating.

Switch your router off, then back on. same happened to me, but was able to connect after doing that.

MAC-adress
Everytime i reboot my device i get a new MAC-address.
the first 6 chars are still the same 00:18:41:... but the last 6 changes after every reboot. I Think that is the problem why you can't connect to WIFI-network.
(sorry for my bad english)
Ive tried resetting my router and even reflashed the whole phone to no avail.
Im wondering how I can upgrade to the latest radio version without activesync
1. Put your stock rom ruu_signed.nbh on sd card as LEOIMG.nbh (<4gb card)
2. Reflash that by holding vol down - hspl.
3. Reboot and dont got into it - goto new (old) spl.
4). Connect and do HSPL3_PKG.exe, We hacked it. Best to NOW change your drivers to MTTY drivers (first point you can as hspl rapitool doesnt recognize them so change to unsigned drivers now) and connect then do:
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8 (which is reboot)
YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT WHEN FLASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER or you end up with fk hd2 with too many bad blocks in nand and screwed partitions.
5.) Now re-do your radio with latest by replacing LEOIMG.nbh with ruu_signed.nbh from radio rar/zip. = ie 2.15 radio and vol-down reboot hspl again.
6) Now replace LEOIMG.nbh with MAGLDR 112 .nbh as LEOIMG.nbh on sd and
YOU ARE DONE.
7) Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get LIVE.
Before doing dwi.exe PROPERLY: make a fake data.zip with EMPTY (ie: notepad make 0kb .txt files then rename part00.bin, part01.bin, ALL THE WAY TO part07.bin and save these into data.zip (rename real data.zip data.bak or whatever).
Then flash with dwi.exe so this CLEANS OUT PARTITIONS COMPLETELY with ZEROES.

Thanks for your extensive answer but guess what? Thats right, still no wifi.
It worked on first boot, i was able to sync my contacts, go on facebook etc so must be something that has happened since then or during restarts.

Everytime i reboot my device i get a new MAC-address.
the first 6 chars are still the same 00:18:41:... but the last 6 changes after every reboot. I Think that is the problem why you can't connect to WIFI-network.
(sorry for my bad english)

You can always HEX-Edit the partitions going to nand for Wp7 and change MAC.

hi i am a noob needing help im after windows phone 7.5 (mango) on my uk o2 htc hd2 but i am very confused and need a step by step guide i'm currently running window mob 6.5.5 (Artemis ver65.0) which i bought with the rom already installed any help will be much appreciated thanks
simple steps to install WP7 ROM to HD2:
1. Check HSPL in booloader screen... you must have (install) 2.08 HSPL
2. insert formated microSD card
3. install Radio 2.15.50 (first boot to bootloader then connect device and run flashing)
4. install Magldr1.13 (first boot to bootloader then connect device and run flashing, after process done device restart and boot to Magldr menu)
5. Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services (select 10. Services - 4. UseLast24NAND, confirm with green)
6. Delete MBR on SDcard in Magldr services (10. Services - 5. ClearSD MDR)
7. In Magldr select 5. USB Flasher, connect device and flash ROM with DWI.exe
8. wait process done, and when WP7 booted do hard reset (GO to Settings - About - Reset my phone)....
and thats done...
after WP7 installed, you must have .net Framework on your computer, also install latest Zune and get Live ID key from Microsoft (with chat or phone)
also install WP7 SDK and with Tom XAP Installer you can istall XAP's to device....

So my HTC Blackstone is going crazy.I changed battery & touch screen and after that cam went crazy.I saw all kinds of colou's on cam but that's not a problem because I use it rarely.What bothers me is that I locked myself out of it.I was setting up screen password early in morning and I don't know what did I typed in.How can I solve this???
I'm thinking to flash it but when I was looking at flashing instructions I saw that I need to Sync it with my computer in Windows Mobile Device Center.But I cant sync it since I cant log into the system.I installed all drivers on my PC and when I connect it via USB it detects it automatically.
I wanted to reset HTC to factory defaults but I cant I did Hard Reset but when I do it I come to that 3 color screen and cant go further than that.
When HTC is disconnected and I'm in 3 color screen on the bottom it says "Serial",when I connect it to USB it says USB.
So basically I'm stuck and I need advice,what to do???
Can I flash it without sync it with Windows Mobile Device Center???
Or is there other way around this problem!
Thank you in advance for your help! :good:
For flashing a new ROM, there is no need to sync with Windows Mobile Device Center. However, you will need Microsoft .Net 3.5 SP1 to connect to Blackstone. I am guessing you are using Vista or Win 8, so you may have to do a separate install for it.
I recommend that you use a ROM from this thread, which is the most updated on this website. I am using it, and it is very stable. I had used the Android version, and it is user and finger friendly.

Caution: Make sure Blackstone has at least 70% battery-life
Step 1. Update HSPL to 1.56 Olinex
1a. You will need to update the HSPL (effectively, unlocking your phone) to 1.56 Olinex. Follow the instructions found in the above thread, under a heading:
Dummies guide flashing 1.56+ roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
1b. Follow the instructions very strictly. It can get tricky, but it is worth the effort.
Step 2. Download custom ROM
2a. Go to the Download site, and in Mediafire site, go to the folder:
0.77_WM_653_WEH_Orange_ROM
2b. Inside the folder, you will find this ROMs for download, for example:
ORANGE ROM [1-October-2013] - 0.77 [Full - Cookie 2.0_Android] WM6.5.3 WEH.zip
2c. Download this file and extract the files.
BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
RUU_Signed.nbh
2d. Copy the "RUU_Signed.nbh" file to the Root of your Blackstone microSD and rename it to "BLACIMG.NBH. Do not insert it into Blackstone yet.
Step 3. Wipe existing Blackstone ROM
3a. Reboot your Blackstone to Tri-color screen and connect to PC by USB.
3b. On PC, run the program "BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe". Select Task 29 do it. This will do a clean wipe of the Blackstone ROM (which you said has been corrupted.
3c. Once the Task 29 is completed,
Switch off Blackstone.
Disconnect USB cable from Blackstone.
Insert the microSD (with the BLACIMG.NBH file) to your Blackstone.
Step 4. Install custom ROM
4a. Switch on your Blackstone to Tri-color mode.
Very shortly, you will come to a screen to ask if you want to update the ROM file.
Press the Power button to update
4b. The rest of the update will be done automatically.
