Need help flashing stock rom from sd card - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Ok guys I need some help here. My buddy's hd2's usb port will not work. I need to reflash windows back so he can send off for warranty. Anywho, when I follow steps to install windows from sd card it just sits at the bootloader screen. It reads as follows: PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
Help. Thanks. Scott

sd card must be 4gb or smaller. (Rarely people find a bigger one that works, but very very rarely) the supplied tmous 16gb card deff wont work.

I'm using a 2 gig that has been formatted properly.

fat32 formatted? which stock rom you trying? and are you correctly extracting and renaming leoimg.nbh?

Yes fat 32 formatted. Rom is:RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship.exe . Copied \RUU_signed.nbh to root of sd card and renamed it leoimg.nbh. When I power up phone to bootloader nothing happens.

strange. gotta go down the fault finding route then,
try formatting the card again, doing a full format, not quick, make sure there isn't still an ext partition or anything on there, re-download the rom, download a different version (2.10 or 2.13), try an alternative way to transfer the leoimg (example, the usb transfer in magldr can corrupt large files), try another card, , , happy bug hunting.

Male sure LEOIMG.nbh is on the root of the SD card (not in a folder). Also I've heard reports that the file is case sensitive, should be LEOIMG.nbh. format the SD card from within your phone if possible and try again.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I can vouch for the filename case not making any difference.

Thank you
Thanks for your help. My buddy had to send it in today because they sent him an hd7(boo), but at least he can sell it on craigslist. He is just going to send it in as is and hope for the best. He bought the phone off craigslist so he's just gonna play the dumb card and say he thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Can't hurt. Thanks again, Scott.

trying to flash with sd card

my hermes is not working it wont get passed the loading screen of the IZ light rom and im trying to flash it with an sd card but it doesnt work. I read the wiki and all of the posts and i feel im doing everything right. on the boatloader screen it seems like it wants to work but it says loading no image found for like a split second and then it goes back to the multicolor screen.
it says
herm100
ipl-1.04
herm100
spl-2.10.olipro
any help welcomed and thanks
SD card method...
1.. Format SD card FAT32. Copy .nbh file you want onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh... NO MISPELLING ALLOWED...
2.. Put SD card back into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3.. Follow the onscreen instructions...
You MUST do this EXACTLY. SD cards come formatted FAT. Mispelling won't be recognised.

You forgot to say use 2Gb or smaller card, NOT an SDHC card
Should we have to at this stage......
I've posted this sooooooooooooooooo many times already....
Thanks!
I just wanted to add my $0.02 here. I am trying to flash my old "No GSM" Hermes with WM6.5, and it was giving me the gray "Loading" for about 0.00002 seconds before flashing back to tri-color boot screen.
Re-formatting as FAT32 did the trick! I'm watching the progress bar right now! So, thanks, ultramag69!
Ah, and just as I finished typing that, I got:
"Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS"
Can't wait to see what happens next! Surf Wisely.
New OS will work, "No GSM" problem will probably remain...
You're flashing the OS, NOT the Radio ROM, so the no GSM problem won't be affected.

Cannot restore

Hi people, trying to restore a stock SPL after installing HSPL
as the phone is going for an exchange, when i press the vol down button and power the tri color screen comes on and briefly says loading but then goes to the tri color screen again with SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL on it.
I have placed leoimg.nbh on the root of the sdcard and it is formatted in FAT32.
I also thought i was holding the vol down button too long but i release as soon as i see the colours but nothing loads still
Any help would be appreciated.
how did you copy the nbh onto the storage card?
i had the same issue and it sounds mad but i think you must put the sd card into the phone and connect it to a PC via cable as a disk drive. Then copy nbh onto the card that way.
Should work after that.
Yeah that's the way I did it already. Need to try and do it before tomorrow morning
ok... maybe i got it wrong... try it the other way... put the card directly into your PC via a card reader and copy the nbh onto it that way.
i had exactly the same issue and it was definately the way i copied the nbh onto the card that was at fault.
Found out it was my 8gb SDHC Memory card, i transferred the leoimg.nbh to a standard 2gb sd card that came with the phone and its updating fine.
Thanks for the help

how to put stock rom in, with usb not working

Hi, how do i put original stock rom into diamond 2 when im going to send my phone to repair, because of faulty usb-pc connection. Is there any way? because i cant send it with cooked ROM
Use SD card. Take a card less than 8GB. Format it to FAT32. Copy ruu_signed.nbh to card and rename it to topaimg.nbh. Put phone in boot loader and follow instructions.

If you name it topaimg.nbh it probably won't flash.
Has to be TOPAIMG.nbh
It doesn't matter, you can use both, small or capital letters. It worked for me in both ways.
Good to know. I have heard of it failing if it is not exact.

help me roll my phone back

had a great froyo on the sd card working for months. i tried 7 and want to go back to the sd card version. I have read a need to roll back to 6.5, but when I try to go into the boot logger all it comes up as serial. are there simple directions to flash the chuck light rom back that i loved. realative noob here so please help in simple terms if we can or point me in the right direction. thanks
have you connected the usb cabel.
yes and it stays at serial in the bootloader
instead of running from pc put the files on your sd card and restart phone.

Just stick a stock WinMo rom on root of your sd card and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" then power up into bootloader and flash rom from card.
but when i open the boot loader it says serial, i cant change it to sd card or usb.
are you entering the tri colour screen 3 or 4 different colours on screen.
if you put the file on sd card and rename as above post says you dont need to press anything it will go straight to the LEOIMG.nbh file
somebody need to do a video on it on youtube????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas
its a 4 color screen
and since the win 7 is loaded it wont allow me to hook it with active sync so i could even put the old bootloader on.
have you tried putting the files on the sd card (format card 1st)
yeah, no luck with the files on sd card.
did u rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
ok. got back to 6.5. went to load android on my 16 gb card, which is now telling me its only 199 mb card...any ideas. stuck it in the computer to see if i could format it and it says its only 200 mb card?
yes when you put 7 on it it messes the card up use sd formatter you will get the full 16 back get it from here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
would of been nice a little thank you or summit.TUT TUT TUT.

[Q] Restoring original ROM - USB port broken

The charging port in my HD2 doesn't work, have tried different cords and connections (wall/USB). Also I have another HD2 that charges fine with these cables.
My HD2 is still under warranty - but I have HSPL/MAGLDR/Custom ROM/CWM flashed
My SD card is FAT32
I got the original TMOUS ROM from the HTC website renamed RUU_Signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and put in root of SD card.
When I enter the boot loader it just sits.
I reformatted the card FAT32 in Windows 7 and put the file back, still nothing.
The red/green/blue/white screen says:
"SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE" and CotullaHSPL below that
I did read something about not being able to use the SD method w/ SPL > 2.0 - is this the problem?
Is there any way to flash the device w/o a usb connection?
the sd card method, what size card are you using?
try this ...
1. get a 2 gb sd card... make sure it works
2. format using XP - other hd2 that works -
3. Make sure battery isnt under 50%
try again to flash the rom
2GB SD Card did the trick
Thanks!
