P4000 upgrade for a n00b

Hey all - I'm brand new to this and am looking to install a custom ROM on my HTC P4000 from Telus which has the WM 6.1 upgrade on it. Can anyone point me to a solid and reliable ROM plus a step-by-step method to install it?
Sorry again for my lack of experience - I appreciate any help

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857

just a tip. Get a 2gig micro NON-SDHC SD card.
I was able to flash my spl and ROMS with a computer and usb cable, but the radio would not work whatsoever. So I had to get a simple microSD card to flash the radio.
justs a heads up. Cheers, check our Ryan Moguls V1.5 ROM - it's still 6.1 but it's solid, and has the least amount of memory leaks and the most touch friendly interface.
cheers and good luck

Extract the contents of Olipro240.exe into a folder using Winrar or 7zip. Disable USB connections in Active sync connections settings (icon on Computers taskbar). Plug the phone in. Now look in the extracted folder for Exitbl.exe. Run that. Soon as it gets out of bootloader unplug the phone, manually put back in bootloader and if you are flashing using the RUU (utility flashing) make sure the memory card is removed. Then plug the phone back in and run the RUU.
OR
If using MicroSD method, unplug the phone and put the Card in the phone. Image named TITAIMG.nbh (make sure computer is set to show file extenstions in control panel folder options hidden files and folders settings). Now manually put the phone in bootloader and follow the prompt.
Cheers.

I am using the SD method, but the bootloader keeps saying image file not found. File is definately TITAIMG.nbh

Follow my instructions and dont post back until you do.
Card should be a non sdhc card. 2gb and under. Fat32 formatted, default allocation size. And the image should be the only thing on the card, no folders or anything..

Now that was strange - I thought for sure it was formatted as Fat32 - it wasn't. Thanks!
BTW - is there any recommendation for my unit - your light or heavy ROM? I have 400mhz CPU and have Telus as Carrier

I know what cpu the phone has.. I design the ROMs. Use Carrierless 1.5 light. But its all up to you. You can try as many as you like the Titan is very durable.

Thanks Ryan - the upgrade went great - nice ROM! Now my only issue is the WMDC won't recognize the device! It shows up in Device Manager (Windows 7) as "Microsoft Windows Mobile Adapter" with a yellow exclamation mark indicating that Windows cannot load the drivers for this device.
Is there a way around this?

I dont know, havent upgraded to Windows 7 yet still using XP and 64 Ultimate. It could be the usb port you are using (use a main one built onto your motherboard and unplug all other devices).
You could of tried restarting your computer, sometimes after a bad flash attempt you could experience detection problems.
You may need HTC drivers and I am not sure they exist yet for Windows 7, the Vista ones may work I am not sure search for those on Howardforums, PPCgeeks, and here I cant remember where I got them from maybe I will find them and upload them to my share site. Although the drivers that come with WMDC should work.
I dont know though buddy. Least you have a Custom ROM on there now. Thats a step in the right direction. Awesome job gittin er dun.. lol

[Q] OMG....Someone please help......

Morning....I have HTC HD2, Flashed with current 1.11 MAGDLR and Radio 2.15. I have Flashed NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND and would like to update to current NexusHD2 build. However, when the bootloader is entered into, and Flasher is selected, phone will see USB, but when hooked to PC and DAF is selected to Run in Admin, I get a Error mess, that the computer is not seeing the USB and connecting.
Now seeing that I am VERY new at this.....I don't understand too much about Task 29 or things like that I have read about as far as a fix for the Error. But I cannot seem to find anyone that can tell me how to either fix the issue, or a solution around the problem so that I can either load another ROM or load the update.
I guess I should also add that my phone is running Android from the root side of the phone and not a dual boot with Windows still intact. I think that was important to add somewhere I read.
THanks for any help anyone can give me......

I had the same problem, when you open the file and it should be daf.exe file or install.exe file, you have to extract that file the a new folder on your computer and then open it from within the folder with right click and use as administrator!!!! worked for me..let me know...

This doesn't belong in the NAND development forum!

Not able to make a usb connection to the phone when in Magldr
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
Go to the Activesync icon in the bottom right corner, right click on it and untick the option "Allow usb connections" and then connect the device again. Run daf.exe (or install.exe) as administrator by right clicking on it and selecting the option (if using Windows7 or Vista). Hopefully the usb drivers will then install and the Android Rom will flash.
Another option could be to uninstall and reinstall Activesync or to try different usb ports on your pc. If that doesnt work and you have Windows XP then you need to try on a machine with Vista or Windows 7.
If none of this works then try taking out your micro SD Card and repeating the process or flash a Custom Rom before you flash Magldr rather than a Stock Rom.
Lastly you could try starting the NAND installer with the phone unplugged and then plugged the phone in. The installer should immediately detect your device and proceed to flash.

Installed MAGLDR.......

Hi guys,
I have a international HTC HD2 win6.5.
I have installed MAGLDR using these 2 post..........
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-boot-android-from-sd-card-of-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-magldr-and-how-to-install-and-use-it-on-htc-hd2/
When I boot up now it goes to the MAGLDR bootscreen; how do I make it boot to Windows 6.5?

I believe you don't, it wipes your nand memory so you can then either flash Android or WP7 to the internal memory.

OMG! I didn't know that, I thought it was another version of harret; booting up into harret instead of win6.5..........
hmmmmmm.............is there a win6.5 or win7 I can burn into NAND?

no.
you can have 6.5 with android on sd or wp7 with android on sd or nandroid. no dual-nand.

Thanks!
I would like to have original Win6.5 that comes with HTC HD2, is it available here?

Look at posts in Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development section. Especially http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977

just donwload the official rom from htc (you have it one their support site) and flash it trough your pc or trough SD card but if you flash it with SD it will Uninstal HSPL

I have just flashed Windows 7 into my NAND, and I want to revert back to Win6.5; How can I installed energy rom?
I tried running "Leo_SoftwareUpgrade.exe", after extracting the energy rom, and it says error, and quits.

I can't flash it thru my PC now, as Windows 7 doesn't do activesnyc.........

this has been asked and answered countless times. it helps to read about how to undo what you are doing before you do it!
answer: simply flash your wm6.5 rom from your sdcard.

It's not possible to flash thru the PC, somehow I can't even transfer files via PC.
How do I flash it thru SD?
I've downloaded it and it's "RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe"

did you do like ANY research or are you just doing something without knowing what the hell you are doing??
in the first place if you thought you could install MAGLDR and still have WinMo in your first place you probably didn't read anything
and concerning flashing that WinMo ROM back on your phone you might want to try and hit that search button because i've seen it hundreds of times explained exactly how to do it...

no progress.........
not sure what to do now...........the UI interface from MIUI current version is not what I am after
[ Before ]
- Official Win6.5 ROM + MIUI SD ROM from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661)
- but then he said he not support SD anymore
- so I thought of moving to MIUI on my phone
[ Now ]
- with MIUI directly, I find that I can't access my SD from PC
- UI not nice.......
I feel like moving to Win6.5 + MIUI on SD, I find that with these configuration, I can access everything via activesync, if I didn't like a particular Android on SD, I just remove it from SD and restore it easily............

didn't work; the 3 colored screen just sits there on serial.......
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.

from this:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
20. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
21. Let go volume down button when you see ‘loading…’.
22. Then ROM upgrade screen will be loaded.
I don't get to "21"...........it just sits on "Serial"............

Oh! Stupid me!
I am able to flashed to official ROM now;
[ STR ]
- connect USB
- restart phone and hold down "power" + "volume down"
- the boot menu should change to USB
- and wait for computer to install proper drivers for it
- THEN!! run RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
I know the problem now, it's because I didn't wait for the computer to finish installing the drivers to communicate with phone

problems flashing radio/MAGLDR113

i am changing over to nand android and i'm have some problems. when i try to flash a new radio or MAGLDR113. i get an error saying that the flash utility can't open the file. i then decided to start from scratch as i thought some got screwed up along the way. i flashed the original wm 6.5 rom and it worked. then i flashed hspl 2.08 and it worked. but now i seem to be the same place i started. a new radio won't flash and MAGLDR113 won't either. i get those same file read/open errors in the flash utility. anybody got any ideas on a fix? i didn't have time to really do a search on this topic, i have 2 kids running around wanting this and that, fighting and crying. any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Ok first question, with MAGLDR are you right clicking and running as administrator, same goes for radio? Next question have you got the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC installed on your computer so you havecthe most uptodate drives? Third are you outing hour HD2 into bootloadercby holding down the volume down button whilecpowering on your HD2 and then connecting itcyo your computer and waiting forcthe Serial I'm thecwhite bar of bootloader to change to USB then flashing the radio or MAGLDR as administrator?

yes running as admin.
yes latest activesync.
if i try to go through the bootloader and plug in the usb it does change on the screen but it won't connect to the computer.
i get a 238 file read error after running update utility for MAGLDR113 in admin.
i grt a 240 file open error for the new radio

When you use bootloader and connect it to your computer it should say HTC USB sync in the safe to remove device or in your device manager in the control panel that means it is connected to your computer and you can flash the ROM, radio, splash screen, HSPL, MAGLDR, etc. This is a big miss conseption by most people that you have to use ActiveSync to flash whatever you are trying to flash via RUU.

Also, bit of a silly one, but wouldn't be the first,,, when you get the file open errors, you aren't trying to run from within the zip are you? Customruu and the .nbh should be extracted to a folder on their own. There have been cases where people open the zip and try to run ruu without extracting them first.

yea its showing up but niether method is working. activesync or the bootloader. same error messaes. also if i try to flash a rom i get this error message:
Error happen
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed

Error Description: wait marker fails

Ok it sort of souds like you have a bad USB cable and it can no longer do data transfer.
Find the magldr.nbh file in MAGLDR and make a copy of it on your desktop and rename it leoimg.nbh then copy it to the root of your SD card. You may have to use scare reader to do this if you unless you have another USB cable handy then you will not need to do this. Once you have the file on your SD card andcthe SD card back in your HD2 hold the volume down button down while powering on the HD2. This will bring up bootloader bit keep the volume down button pressed until you see searching then let it go. It will ask if you want to flash the image press the end button to confirm and it will flash MAGLDR. You can flash your radio thecsame way but you will have to look for the RUU_signed.nbh file for it but still you will have to copy it and rename it to leoimg.nbh. only put one of these at a time on hour card and flash it. Be director delete the file after you flash the radio or MAGLDR before you copy the next file and flash it, you only want one leoimg.nbh file at a time on your SD card.
You will have t have a working USB cable though to flash either a DAF Android ROM via option #4 of MAGLDR USB Flasher or to flash CWM through option #4 of MAGLDR.

yup got it working now. the sd method worked and i went next door to try a cable from my neighbor and finished the job. i tried the "defective" cable with my other phone and it worked. and files can be transferred to the sd on this phone through that cable but for whatever reason it wouldn't flash a radio or magldr. so i would not have thought of it being bad. strange...
anyway thanks for the help. i wouldn't have thought to flash the radio and magldr through the sd and i would've been up all night pulling my hair out.

1. Download the file from the thread
2. Extract the file on your desktop and you will get a folder with the same name
3. Copy this folder with WinMo explorer to anywhere on your SD Card
4. Go to the folder where you copied this folder and open/tap on it.
5. You will see a folder called MIUI
6. Copy/Cut this folder by using menu - manage - copy, etc
7. Go to the root of your SD card and paste it there.
8. Open WinMo explorer and go to storage card\ics
9. Press clrcad (nothing happens) and thereafter on Haret
10. Android will be booted on your device. Let it boot and after that reboot 3 times to give it the opportunity to build all the extra folders on your SD Card you need.

You need Windows Mobile Device Centre (or ActiveSync, depending whether you're on XP or Win7). You'd also need to have HSPL installed in order to be able to update your radio.
You know what, since you're a real noob , just download an official winmo rom (must be latest version 3.14) and follow the instructions, and it will automatically install the latest radio. (I think you'd need WMDC or ActiveSync here as well.)

Windows mobile device center is software not Operating system, do googling a little from where and which version is for you.
Also you can try to install htc sync software if windows mobile device center doesn't help.
You are installing this so that your device can be recognised from pc when you are in bootloader.
Hd2 forum section have alot guides post.
You need to start using search button and reading posts on hd2 forum whole or under android section.
Why im saying this... When you start using hd2 in new way like flashing new radio or hspl.
Yoully be constantly confused what happens with your hd2 or how to do something which allready written multiple times on forum.
And lets not forget if you dont know what are you doing, you can screw up your phone.
There isnt easy solution except searching hd2 forum reading and reading.

As posted above, searching and reading will inevitably let you find all of the answers you're looking for. Also, when a guide says install x, y or z and lists it as a compulsory step, don't question it. Just do it. It will seriously save you a tonne of effort (as will using the search button) in the future.
