[Q] Uninstall Windows 7??? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

First of all, I apologize if I'm in the wrong thread.
I recently flashed my HTC HD2 and upgraded it to Windows 7 from its factory-loaded Windows 6.5. Since then, I have not been able to do anything via web on it (Marketplace, Facebook, even set-up my personal email accounts). I've toggled my connection settings plenty of times, and nothing seems to work. It keeps asking me for my Windows Live ID, but when I enter it, nothing happens because there is no internet connection. (Don't know if this is important but in case this helps: I am not in a Wi-Fi zone.) Also, it won't read my sd card either, which has music, pictures, documents, etc. As a matter of fact, the only things that I can do is call in and out, and send and receive texts. I am not liking this version of Windows too much, and would like to know, step-by-step, what to do to uninstall it and return to my safe and familiar Windows 6.5 world.
When I upgraded from 6.5 to 7, I downloaded and used ActiveSync, and it worked fine. Now, while in Win 7, when I plug the phone into my computer, my ActiveSync won't identify it.
And by the way, I tried to hard reset it, thinking that would work, but it just reset it back to Windows 7.
I just want my Windows 6.5 back as soon as possible. Any information to get me back to that point would be greatly appreciated.

Download Zune program and all ur problems will be solved. It is for uploading music videos and other files.

Sorry, no offense meant here, but I don´t understand both of you guys...

There are so many great tutorials here in the forums. If you would have carefully read some more than you obviously have, then you would have avoided some of the nasty problems you have with WP7.
Also, you wouldn´t ask about a "step-by-step" instruction on what to do now.
Unfortunately, some key information is missing here, therefore, the only link I can give you is this: Click me! You should know this one already, if not, read it item by item.
Then flash the ROM which fits your device. Do *not* flash before you know exactly which ROM you need. You might brick your phone.
Oh, and btw: Was the music on your SD card when you flashed with WP7? If yes, it´s no wonder your device cannot read it, the SD card is wiped clean during the first start.

Is this a shortcut? Kind of to avoid flashing back to WinMo 6.5 and keeping WP7? Because he maybe wiped the SD card clean?
Come on, he clearly asked how to flash another ROM, Zune cannot be the answer.

The information that you gave me is very helpful.
However, again, I'm at a standstill. I'm trying to download a stock rom, but I still need to find a way for my computer (Windows XP) to sync with my HTC HD2 (Windows Phone 7). ActiveSync won't read it, and my OS won't allow me to use WMDC!
(And just so you'll know, I didn't have my sd card installed in my phone when I flashed it.)

..again you havent bothered to read anything.
You can stick the stock rom on your SD card and rename it "leoimg.nbh" and then power phone into bootloader by powering obn phone while holding volume down button. No need for activesync/usb or windows XP.

do you have t mobile network if you do just go to settings cellular and where it says 3g connection and hit apn settings and type in epc.tmobile.com and hit the check button at the bottom and you should be set. if you dont have t mobile just find out the network apn for your network.

...even if the phone doesn't read the sd card anymore since i uploaded win 7???

=.=
You've been lectured to go out and read some threads for info, and yet you still persist with these questions that could be answered if you searched...
Anyways on topic, you say your phone does not recognize the sd card? Well try formatting the sd card with panasonic formatter then. Then put the files for reverting back to stock rom onto the root of your sd card, and then boot your phone into bootloader mode, which is the tri color screen. After that, your phone should recognize the file and revert back to winmo.

I know I COULD look through threads (and that's what I've been doing), but I just want to cut to the chase without all that geek talk. (What's the point of having a website like this if one couldn't ask questions?) Plus, now I know who to thank if it works (and who to blame if it doesn't).
Thanks for all the help. I'll let you know what happens.

It's not about what you could do... It's about what you should do.
Anyways, whilst this forum may be about Q&A's, populating a Q&A with the same questions, and the same answers sounds stupid, no?
Well hope it works for you.

Hey Why are you even here then? YOU cant be bothered reading because of "geek" talk and all of a sudden its OTHER peoples fault if YOU break your phone?
If YOU don't want to read through threads that explain how to do these things as simply as possible already and actually LEARN somthing, Then why should someone retype those threads for you especially as you STILL wont understand it because it will contain the SAME terms and referances, and require YOU to STILL do some research, Just like EVERYBODY else here HAD TO DO. If you think there is some way to break the existing well explained threads down into BABY BABBLE that FOOLS who go rushing in with no clue might understand, then you are sadly mistaken. Cut your losses and buy either a dumbphone or an iphone. They are made for people like you. Just dont try jailbreaking, thats probrobly tooo complicated for you as well.
Oh and way to go insult the very people you are asking for help. dumbass.

Thanks to all those who actually helped.
Here's what I've been able to do thus far:
1.) Reformat SD card to FAT32 allocation
2.) Found and downloaded stock rom
3.) Extracted "RUU_signed.nbh" from there
4.) Transferred it to SD card (base folder)
5.) Renamed it "leoimg.nbh"
6.) Inserted SD card into phone
7.) Turned phone on into bootloader mode (tri-color)
8.) Nothing happens
I've dowloaded several versions of stock roms and tried each one, but none has worked yet. I've even renamed it using all caps ("LEOIMG.nbh") thinking that that MIGHT make a difference...it didn't.
Anyway, did I mess up somewhere? Is there something else that I'm missing?
Help!
Other information that might help:
This is what appears on my bootloader screen:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
Trying to uninstall Windows 7 and reload Windows 6.5, which is what I started out with on my phone.
Thanks!!!

If you have looked around you wouldn't need that much help, there is many threads about this already, And this whole "geek talk" is nothing but common sense buddy. If you can't figure out how to flash back and people have pointed you in the right direction, then you should never flash again and stick with wm6.5

Steps...Try This

I understand, where he is coming from, not everyone coming to this site are geeks/devs(am myself a dev) and can easily get confused with all the forums...
I understand your problems are may be unique, so here are the steps you can try and hopefully these wotk for you..
**Read the steps completely and keep the files ready before
starting this process to save time later..
1. Go into bootloader (tri color screen)..should say 'Serial' in the middle of the screen.
2. Pause/stop your PC antivirus
3. Next connect your phone with USB to your computer, the screen should now say USB instead of Serial
4. Now run Task29*
5. Turn off your phone(by taking the battery out) and turn it back again and go into bootloader mode
6. Install the latest official HTC HD2 Win6.5 Rom*(2.15.50.14 or something)..NOTE: Just the rom which you can get from threads here in XDa forums, not the whole OS.
7. Format your SD card(panasonic formatter), use setting low level (with delete), this will take around 5-10 mins depending on your sd card mem size.
8. Now get the latest official Win 6.5 ROm from HTC and install it using the SD card method as mentioned before.
(Note, please read some posts to find out how to do this correctly)
The above should work , for the most cases.
Let me know, if it helps you or not.

Hi,
I read all the thread on how to remove windows 7 on HTC HD2, but when I hold the volume button down and press the power key, I see the bootloader screen, but then the "loading" page never comes. I tried it several times. And I also revive my SD card before doing that. Now my phone doesn't even have any more memory. SO I can text, can't add music. When I connect my phone through the USB cable, the PC doesn't open Zune windows. So it doesn't recognize the presence of the phone.
Do you know what is wrong? Thank you for any idea on that.

This is why your phone does not work. I flashed to WP7 from stock TMoUS WinMo and have not had any problems since. You have to read and understand what this geek talk means before you start screwing with your phone. I didn't know any either but I learned it thanks to all the tutorials and FAQs here at XDA. You can't do a heart transplant without learning anatomy first.

it connects to routers fine, but unless you have the hidden wifi network app you cant connect to hidden networks, i suggest you try lowering the security settings on the router (disconnect your PC if you must) and try again, if it connects to an open network then you just need to make sure the settings are correct for WPA
its also worth noting that wifi not working at all, ie it doesnt see any networks is a typical sign of an SD card issue

thnx for the reply
dude but my wifi have no problem.. it connect to my laptop
and even in windows 6.5 and android
but it says : ph could not reach to wifi network
and i m replying frm my laptop using same wifi...
can u explain what to do clearly...

Not digitally signed with a Trusted certificate/ Activesync keeps UNINSTALLING!

First of all, I had some minor problems getting Activesync to recognize my 8525. (XP, Net 2.0). After a couple of driver updates or whatever, it finally worked!
I tried flashing to a different ROM but had problems during the HardSPL procedure. I stopped it, but THEN had some problems trying to connect my 8525 to the PC!! (Activesync again, ugh!) I uninstalled & re-installed Activesync like 3 times, and FINALLY got it to work again!
Now I have problems installing .CAB files to my 8525. I keep on getting the warning:
"The program is from an unknown publisher. You should install it only...."
I press "YES" and it comes as "unsuccessful".
I press "NO" and I get the "... program cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
Besides having installation problems, I also noticed that Activesync keeps on disappearing/uninstalling from my PC. I have to install Activesync 4.5 every time I turn on the PC.
Can some one tell me what's going on? What should I do? Should I do a "HARD RESET"? (I have done a SOFT RESET but to no avail). I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
I found out that I shouldn't do a HARD RESET because it will erase the "unlocked" feature in my phone. (I bought the phone unlocked).
I have researched the wiki, and some threads, and ACTUALLY someone else had this problem, way back in 2006. (The .CAB problem). But no one responded.
I also had to uninstall a program I had previously installed in my 8525 due to the fact that it stopped responding. It just wouldn't work anymore. I got the same "unsigned certificate" message.
I guess I'm going to RE-INSTALL Activesync ALLL over again. Maybe it will help it or something...
(This is literally going to be like the 5th time I install Activesync. And I just got the 8525).
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THE .CAB PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
(I'm running WM6 Pro, AT&T)
freakin piece of crap!
its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!
It USED TO WORK! I used to be able to install .CAB files. I have only installed 2 .cab files into internal memory (NO external. dont have one yet). I installed Opera Mini, and Wifi Radar. I also installed a couple of themes. I also installed animated themes but deleted them since they wouldn't work. (I think they required some other stuff). I also deleted all the themes except for one.
THEN one day, i tried doing that HardSPL-V7, and I got to the last step but quit since I got an error telling me that if I continue the (usb?)device could stop working.
Another time I tried installing SPB Finance 2.8 .CAB and that's when I noticed it would no longer install .CAB files. (It also won't install directly using .exe)
I researched Google and the forums, and found out a guy that had the same problem (no one responded).
Today I noticed that Pocket Wifi Radar wouldn't run. It said something about the certificates. I uninstalled it, tried to install it again, but it wasn't successful.
So far this has been the history of my 8525. Could it be because the "certificates" were installed in the ORIGINAL computer profile? Since I have installed Activesync many times, I noticed every time it creates a new profile. For example, the first time it was called "Windows PC". Then it was called "Windows PC2". Just right now I installed it again, and it was going to be named "Windows PC3", but I changed the name to something else, and of course it still didn't work.
Could ANYBODY give me some tips as to what I should do? Thank you.
go to settings>connections>usb to pc. uncheck "enable advanced network functionality".
if it syncs a few times with no problems run unlocker tool found in upgrades section. then hard spl then if you feel game enough upgrade os with one of your choice.
Hope this helps... cheers
holy cow, relax guy. you are not the only person to ever get the not digitally signed message.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...igned&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
as for the hardspl problem, i responded to that thread you created, didnt you see?
Ok, I tried what you mentioned ultra, and I got this message upon connecting the 8525 to the PC. (BTW, this is the SAME message that appeared when I was attempting to install HardSPL-V7),
HTC USB Sync
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with
Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or disabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
I pressed "Continue" and it installed HTC USB Sync. But then I got the a message telling me "Activesync 4.5 or greater needs to be installed" (even though it IS installed). I ran through the setup again, and it would only let me "repair" or "uninstall". I pressed "repair". Afterwards it asked me to "restart". I did. Then upon loading back up, I connected the 8525 to the PC again, and I got the SAME message again (the one about it not passing Windows Logo). This time I pressed "STOP" and then I got the message about HTC USB Sync not being installed in the computer.
I have been fed up with the problems the 8525 has been giving me. My Clie UX was so much easier to manage. Quick question, I am REALLY leaning on doing a HARD RESET, but I think/kinda know, that if I do, it will ERASE WM6 correct? And go back to WM5?
Oh and yes xtreme, I have searched this on the search bar. And yes, I know you replied back, but you were referring to the Hard SPL. I am having problems w/ installing .CAB files.

dont hit stop dude, u're suppose to hit continue. hitting stop prevents the drivers from being installed and then the RUU wont run
Well I did press "Continue" the first time and I did not see any improvements. I just saw that it installed "HTC USB Sync".
I AM able to successfully install Activesync, I just can't get .CAB files to install.
Could it be because I pressed "STOP" whenever I tried using HardSPL? Should I try and run HardSPL AGAIN and this time pressing "Continue"?
Oh, and are you sure I'm supposed to press "Continue"? After all, I do get that error about Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation. It sounds fishy pressing "Continue".
I just installed Activesync ALLLL over again, but this time in the D:/ drive... still the same .CAB problem.
Oh, and I no longer have the problem where Activesync would uninstall by itself. I noticed it fixed itself yesterday.
BUT I'm still having problems installing .CAB files.
1). hard reset will reset it back to factory its true BUT, and like j-lo's this is a big but, it will re install the last os on the phone (wm6) NOT the stock rom...
2). are you installing the .cab files from the computer or copying them to the memory card and installing from there?
If you install the .cab from the memory card it seems to work fairly well (at least from my experience). if its in a .exe format then it runs from the computer and requires activesync. if you have the .cab file then my suggestion is try to run it from the memory card.. Cheers..
Try installing the SDK certificates and see if that helps
Finally Works!!!!! Hard Reset!
OK, so I've been up for about 3hrs straight trying to figure this out. Reinstalled/uninstalled activesync... tried installing HardSPL again (twice)... didn't work. So I was like, you know what...f* it. I'm going to do a Hard Reset. I'm just gonna try it.
IT WORKED!!!! AND IT STILL STAYED IN WM6!!!! And I think it's still unlocked (although I've read from threads that a HR will disable the unlocked feature).
I AM GLAAAAD THAT I CAN INSTALL FILES NOW!!!! YAY!! (hehe). THANKS TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO HELP!!! SERIOUSLY. It feels really bad when no one tries to help you, even though you don't have a CLUE as to what to do.
** I solemnly swear I will no longer try to use HardSPL or try flashing to a different ROM*. I will use the ROM that came with the phone, and be glad everything is WORKING **
*= at least for until a couple of more months
AND for those who are having this problem (and it's a lot of ppl, based from search results), try a HARD RESET. It helped me anyways.
"and like j-lo's this is a big but"
Glad it worked but I wouldnt allow one bad experiance to turn you off flashing... If I were you I'd still flash hard spl ( in case you find something that you really like). It DOES make it easier to fix "bricks". But just to satisfy your curiosity, go to bootloader and see if it says that you have 2.10 or 2.30 SPL. Also if you want to try flashing, try the sd card method. Its a heap safer (from my experience) than flashing by activesync. Check the wiki for how to do it.
PS. you dot need to reformat the sd card. if you have all the stuff you want on it then just copy the .nbh to the root of the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh", it will load as soon as the hermes is put into bootloader and you wont have to re-install anything. Works every time for me and I've done it about 30 or 40 times...Cheers......

i think his problem is that he can't install .cab files period. he's having the same problem as me. my first phone had that prob, i updated .net 2.0 and it was fine. got my second phone here, update .net to 3.5, but still can't transfer/execute ANY cab files to my phone. the pc just doesn't recognize the phone period. i can't copy/paste, can't push anything through onto my phone. it's crazy. so what else can we do? i'd like to think i'm pretty tech savvy, but this isn't cool LOL
Hello,
now I cannot execute a 'not signed' .exe from my diamond, because of the 'not signed' error message.
I tried to see the first steps of the android port on the diamond touch. I had to remove the battery to stop the application. Since, it's not possible for me to execute any non-signed application (total commander, putty, ...).
Did you find a clean solution? I prefer not to go through the steps of reinstalling a new firmware (windows isn't accessible on my computer & I have a rather old backup of my diamond's files).
I allready have a hardspl, because my orginal ROM is from SFR (french operator)... and I prefer the original HTC version which is more beautiful & more uptodate.

the instructions talk about active sync and windows xp but no vista
sorry but ive only used this phone for few hours
you can use the sd card method as described in its readme.txt that comes with it
thats the problem I dont have a sdcard yet. Just thought the XP instructions may work using Vista and WMDC.
I believe you need to update to the latest version of WMDC through my reading but you may want to confirm that. If you do a search through the wiki using terms like "vista activesync hermes" you should get a hit as it has been extensively talked about. Also please make sure you check what radio rom you have as unlocking the hermes will downgrade the radio rom to 1.16.00.10. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT RADIO YOU HAVE SO YOU AN PUT IT BACK...
If you want to use the sd card method (I find it safer than from the pc) then you need an sd card 2 Gb or smaller as though the OS can read a higher card the bootloader (the software in the hermes used to flash) can't. Don't forget to Hard SPL your hermes after you unlock it, I didn't need to do this but you can check by putting a sim from another carrier into your hermes. However, Hard SPL is a MUST. You can get instructions from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Sd card method on page 116, post 1160. It has all the apps needed to flash both through pc and sd card.
Then you're good to go for flashing a new os.Look into each os on your own, read the post and make up your own mind, DON'T ASK WHICH IS THE BEST..... There is no "best" for everyone, you need to choose on your own. As for the Radio Rom, I would suggest ONLY using the sd card method as if you flash this it the thing that is MOST likely to brick your device if something goes wrong. DON'T INTERRUPT THE FLASH FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
As stated the unlocking will change your radio rom.
Read carefully each step of the guides and don't skip anything and you'll be fine...
Welcome and happy flashing,
Cheers...
hi ultramag69. flashed the phone today and it worked fine. the only problem i have now is when trying to update to wm6 i just get the 4 colours screen and lose sync. same when trying to hard spl 2.1. any ideas?

Cant get into magldr112, device hangs

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?

Mine is working fine, but I have a couple of questions
1) how do I change the about LEO70
2) How can I install Flash player?
Thanks anybody
Russ
Well, on first setup i was able to use wifi, but now it doesnt connect. I can see the router/s but refuses to connect.
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.

You can always HEX-Edit the partitions going to nand for Wp7 and change MAC.
I have (almost completely now) reverse engineered Cotulla and DFT release of Windows Phone 7.

[Q] Can I recover my HTC HD2?

I was updating my HTC HD2 by following the recent article in MicroMart.
I had successfully installed SPL-2.08.HSPL.
Next, instead of updating the Radio ROM, I did the MAGLDR ROMUpdate (apparently successfully) and now when I switch the phone on it just hangs with the intial HTC screen.
I cannot connect it with the PC through Active Sync.
Apart from kicking myself is there anything I can do to recover?
go to bootloader and reflash magldr
But don't I need to get connected through Active Sync through Windows Mobile Device Centre?
How do I get the HTC HD2 to do anything?

Try to flash the latest stock ROM via SD card.It will remove the HSPL and MAGLDR.

One more example in the pile of several thousand people confused by the use of the term "get an activesync connection".
it doesn't mean the program activesync, just a USB connection.
Enter bootloader manually. Connect USB, when word "serial" becomes "USB" you can flash.
Most winmo flashing problems are caused by the time taken for the rom.exe to reboot the phone into bootloader. Putting it in bootloader manually will save you about half a minute per flash, and practically nullify any timeout connection errors.
Giraff,
Thanks for the advice, but I would be grateful if you would tell me what file to put on the SD card.
Do you mean a file like "RUU_Leo_S_Orange_UK_3.14.61.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe"
which I then
- Rename to LEOIMG.nbh and copy to the root of a microSD card that's been formatted to FAT32
- Insert the storage card into your phone
- et seq?
Sam Samuel,
I've got USB on the phone, but I don't get access through Explorer.
Do I just execute the above RUU...exe file on the PC or put file
RUU_Signed_0409.nbh
on the SD card et seq.
that file, although it is an .exe file, is actually a zip.
to do an sd card flash
right click that file, and choose extract here, or perhaps unzip here, or unpack here, depending what archive program you have installed, if you cant see any options like that, install winrar or 7zip (theyre free)
It will extract to around 8 or so files, one of which, the biggest, is called RUU_signed.nbh and that is the actual rom file.
Take that file, rename it leoimg.nbh copy it to your sd card and reboot into bootloader, , teh flash should start automatically.
Or, since you have now connected to usb in bootlaoder, just double click
RUU_Leo_S_Orange_UK_3.14.61.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_ 2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
to run the flash over usb,
BUT
be aware that flashing this (or any 3.14) rom over usb whilst hspl is installed will mean it wont update the spl to 3.03.xxxx and so the rom wont work properly until you manually upgrade the spl to 3.03.xxxx using hspl4

Click to expand...

no, you cant access teh filesystem whilst teh phone is in bootloader. This is why the update utility wont show you the 'from version' info, because it cant access the registry.
Or would I find it easier to put the file "RUU_Signed_0409.nbh" on the SD card?
I don't know what 0409 means.
0409 is the country code, not usually there, but nothing to worry about. yea you can do it sd card method if you like. it will only work if it is teh actual correct rom for teh phone, from sd card, , cant use hspl to get other stock roms on there with sd card.
If i were you tho i would have run the .exe as soon as 'serial' because 'usb' and i would know by now whether it works or not,,,, hehe.
Thanks for all the advice.
I will try again tomorrow.

Just to add to this statement so people will better understand why Samsamuel phrased this this way. If you notice while in bootloader and the USB is present at the bottom of the screen, on your computer it is listed as HTC USB Sync.
Take the battery out and put the battery back on again. connect the usb to both phone and computer (2)hold the volume down button and press the phone power button . it will show USB Connection once it goes into magladr
Once I understood that plugging in a USB cable while in HSPL and seeing Serial change to USB on the HD2, I was able to flash the Radio ROM and proceed with the installation of Android 2.3.
All appears to be working now.
Thanks for all the advice.

[Q] Can't instal HSPL neither LEOIMG.nbh through memory card. HELP!!!!

My phone started having Issues ever since I installed Core Cell, I am not blaming one bit Core Cell i am just explaining, I used the windows 6.5.5 with android on my Memory card also from coredroid(none of the other sd roms would work). I got tired of windows 6.5.5 basically because my contacts from gmail would not upload to my phone in anyway possible and android coredroid did not work properly. Well now that i try to flash HSPL I am getting a fatal error, my
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL is 2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
when I run HSPL I get this message:
Critical ERROR
Flow:00000003
Error Code: 00000004
Description: Bad model ID!
when I run customRUU.exe i get this message:
ERROR [240]: File OPEN
The Update Utility can not open the requested file. please check your Update Utility.
I need help with this constant problem it is driving me insane! I do not know how to make this post one that I will if someone posts something to it, but if you could send me a message with some help also, on top of posting here that will be great!
SDcard
also when I tried to switch roms through my sd card using a LEOIMG.nbh my screen just says Loading.... and never goes to the place where I can select LEOIMG.nbh
Task 29
Also when I try to run Task 29(as administrator) the computer gets to the part where it says updating the ROM image on your PDA Phone... and my to the black screen with the letters htc in gray the percentage does not move at all neither on the computer and the phone. and then i get an error similar to when installing HSPL

are you running the exe as administrator? If not, try that way
yes I am running it as Administrator
When you connect to PC via USB does the word "serial" change to "USB" on the bootloader?
At what point on the process do you get this message?
I'm talking about the hspl process btw.
If you don't have the right hspl (2.08) nothing else will work.

Here is a few suggestions for the OP.
One try changing USB ports, try all ports on your computer.
Uninstall ActiveSync/WMDC and then reinstall it, make sure you download the latest vsrsion from Microsoft.
Try deleting all of your USB drivers and letting them reinstall when you connect your HD2 to your computer.
Try another USB cable if need be.
Finally try another computer if you can.
Create a Gold-card. It will bypass CID checks and allow you to flash. Just search for the topic here on XDA. If you can't get this resolved, I can also write a custom CID to the board via JTAG for you to fix this problem.
connexion2005 i will create a gold card and see if that works Thank you very much i will let you know if it doesn't work. how hard is it to create a CID?
Gold card :_(
The Gold Card is not doing anything, every time I do Vol Down and power the tricolor screen pops up and then goes to the white screen where it says "loading...." in blue but it doesn't move from there.... what should i do in that case?

so it goes to the tricolor screen and then goes to the page where it says it is loading and shows htc and the 0% bar and a few minutes later the computer shows that message and my phone stays at 0%.
So installed windows 7 in my new computer downloaded windows mobile device center 6.1 the latest version and I got a new usb cable and my phone is still having the same issues any ideas?

I really hate to say it but I think you may have physical NAND problems. The NAND is where Windows Mobile or any OS that you flash to your HD2 is stored, or to help you understand it is where the ROM is flashed to when flashing a ROM. If the NAND chip has too many bad blocks it will not allow you to flash. seeimg as you have tried everything including a gold card, this is the only conclusion I can come up with. The only fix for a bad NAND chip is to replace the main board. Sorry to be the barrer of bad news.

Look in the HD2 Android Q&A and General foum or the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A and General forum, I know I seen a thread on doing this in one of the two forums not too long ago. If you use search make sure to use advance search and select to only search thread titles, and if you can not find it through search than go page by page until you have went atleast 25 to 30 ages back just reading the thread titles. I am sure you can find it.
