[Q] Hard reset? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm looking to put android on my HD2 but I got a simple question.
If I install a NAND Android on my phone and I don't like it or encounter some problems can I get windows back with a hard reset or does that option get lost when I put Android on?
I got the tip to "You simply put the stock rom you want on your SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh and then go into bootloader by holding Volume down while powering on."
I have tried to find info about this, can anyone point me in the direction where there is a guide/tutorial on how to do this it it would be very appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

No, a hard reset won't do the trick, you will need to reflash a winmo rom to get it back, as installing a NAND rom (even magldr) removes winmo.
You can find info here
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. 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.

Hi LumpiStefan,
Sorry for my stupidity, i really been trying for the past weeks to solve the problem.
I have downloaded the XDATools into my PC and cook a Rom image of wm2003 with Asia configuration nk.nb1.
I have also imaged it into my 256M SD card using the XDATools.
I do a hardreset after placing the SD card into my XDA and got the wallaby bootloader v6.22 with GSM OK. I have to push the 3rd active button into to see the flash tools page. But it only display cd rom to sd, boot to sd, cd+boot to sd and gsm rom to sd.
What should I do next?
Thanks a nillion
Looks like the Bootloader didn´t notice the new ROM on your SD-Card.
Either you have problems copying the ROM to your SD-Card (Do you use an internal Card Reader) or they have changed something in the bootloader...
Try doing a backup of your ROM via Bootloader (ROM to SD) and reenter bootloader. If you get the option to flash your device you have a problem writing the ROM to the SD-Card. Otherwise it´s an issue with the bootloader...
Stefan
Yes, I do used a intergrated SD card reader to write the ROM to SD.
I can't backup my ROM to SD. Each time I try, it said Card Key Invaild...???
If it is the bootloader having the problem, how...????
2 steps in Upgrading ...
At first you have to downgrade your boot loader from 6.22 to 6.15 or so. Bootloader 6.22 will not allow flashing your device, unless you are equipped with the proper sd key. The way to do it is using the XDArit (I had problems with the new version in which protection of your hard drive has been implemented. You should write an SD with the wallabypatch (look at the FTP for the NB file..). a tip is when writing the sd with this patch, check the box of diagnostic). Than flash your device.. and you have to be quick and follow the instruction carefully... it will allow you to run diagnostic... which enable to flash the device. In summary for this section look for the wallabypatch instruction.
2. after you manage to write bootloader 6.15 , it will enable you to flsh you device with the new SD (written by XDArit ).
Good luck.
Dear kind Sir,
Is there any way you can show me how to downgrade the bootloader from v6.22 to 6.15?????
Can guide me through step by step.......Sorry.......

Excuse me, can you help me what to do if i lost for stupid my wallaby bootloader ... i only get parrot screen from T-MOBILE (number version, radio, etc... only) and i would back to life to my wallaby. it is dead 5 months ago :roll:
thank you too much your help.
Stuck in bootup
Guys,
I believe I have the same problem as the last post. I have several XDA's and one boots up to the "Welcome to TMobile" screen with bootloader 6.22, G324e4, R6.25.02, 4.01.16.
This is a Tmobile release with no ROM modification. I used a second XDA to start the bootloader and dump the ROM to an SD card and I then used this SD card to flash the ROM to the frozen device.
It did nothing, it is sill stuck on the boot up 'tmobile' screen. Any ideas?
Thanks Paul.
Try installing a PPC2002 ROM and if the device works normal downgrade the bootloader.
Maybe this is an issue of the bootloader 6.22
Stefan
LumpiStephan,
The two devices I have, one working one frozen, is stock from the factory, no modification of any kind, both have 6.22 bootloaders. All the self tests work fine, GSM, memory, everything is fine.
I have no idea of what it is waiting for.
Thanks,
Paul.
Thanks alot
I think this topic must be static at the top of the forum. You are great....

not hard booting

hello
my phone is not hard booting or unable to flash from SD Card.
ROM Ver: 3.62.305.5
ROM date:11/06/07
Radio Version: 1.54.30.10
Protcol Ver: 32.87.7020.20H
ExtROm Ver: 3.62.305.116
or how do i get to to my EXTROM to try flash from there
I believe you mean hard reset.... Are you holding down the right keys or are you going to bootloader...
Hard reset - Hold both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks to reset back to factory. press "R" on slideout keyboard then space.
To use the sd card method of flashing you must first have hard SPL V7 installed on your Hermes so it says
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10 oli
If you have any other spl lower than 2.10 it won't be able to use sd card method.
SD card method
1. format SDcard (2Gb or less ONLY) fat32. copy .nbh file on sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Put SD card back in Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. If you hve formatted and named correctly, follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Hard reset
In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
- format a SD card with FAT32
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
- confirm flashing on screen
- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.
Gully
You NEED Hard SPL to do this. You can't flash the rom using the sd card without having 1st flashed Hard SPL UNLESS you run SSPL.exe in windows. If you can't get to windows you may have a BIG problem...

Help with restoring phone to stock ROM.

I have to send away my phone for repair (USB port is dying) and i was hoping to restore everything to stock just to make sure there are no problems when they take a look at it.
I'm running 'Duttys Leo Multi-Lang V1.1' ROM but i installed this way back in January and to be honest i can't even remember how i went about doing it in the first place.
If anybody could tell me where to start i'd be really grateful.

download official stock ROM from your carrier site, or HTC site, and install it by clicking on .exe file
Will that remove the HSPL too ?

If you flash it via sd card. Right click on the exe stock rom file downloaded and select Extract here. Then copy to .nbh file to the root of your sd card. Ensure it is named leoimg.nbh and then flash from the card.
you can use HSPL to change it to 1.42.0000 SPL. there is an option there

Only if using HSPL2. As he installed the rom in January, HSPL2 was not yet out, so I'm assuming he used HSPL1
The SPL is indeed 1.42.0000, im just downloading a ROM now and i'll report back in a second
I had HSPL on my phone and used HSPL2 to remove it - works fine
Ok so i copied the .nbh to the SD Card, renamed it and restarted the phone while holding down the volume button but it just took me to the Bootloader screen.
Do i have to do anything specific to get it to install ?

Did you format the sd-card in FAT32?
It should ask you to press power button or something to flash if everything is right

When the phone boots into bootloader it should identify the leoimg file on the sd card and allow you the option to flash by pressing the power button. Did you copy the file to the root of the storage card, ie not to any sud-folder? If so then it could be that you may need to try another sd card as not all cards work with this. The 2gb cards are said to be best.
You can also try to just run the .exe normally from the pc to flash the rom and then use hspl2 to change your spl back as suggested by EddyOS.
Yeah, I didn't think it wouldn't work - just put my stock 1.66 ROM back on and then changed the SPL back using HSPL2 - job a goodun!!
Anyone wanna buy an HD2?
Thanks for the advice guys, i'm off to work now but i'll have a look at it when i get home.

you have to put custom ruu together with the .nbh file in the root directory of the card

Boot Screen Help.. Setting it back [ SG ]

Friends,
After flashing my HSPL and my ROMS so many times, I have suddenly gone blank.
If I need to flash my phone back to it's original state, and if I do not have my original ROM, what do I do?
Currently it's booting up with a picture of an Android and a Bird ( I forgot what I flashed to get that! )
I purchased this phone in Singapore.
Any assistance will be much appreciated!

a) Put a stock rom onto your sd card and name it "leoimg.nbh"
b) Put phone in bootloader (hold down volume button, then press power button and wait for instructions)
Or just flash a stock rom via active sync. There is many many guides on forum to do this.
Its very easy. Format your sd card using a digital camera, download a stockrom meant for your device meaning the stockrom with the native language of the phone. Unpack the stockrom and change the .nbh data into leoimg.nbh.
Format you sd card in your computer into fat32 and copy the leoimg.nbh data into it. Put the sd card into your phone and go into bootloader, then follow the instructions on your phone's screen. That should do the job.
