Hello,
I want to flash my device with 1.66.707.1 rom. I can't download it via HTC official page.
Now I have few questions. According to that I couldn't download it from HTC official page in my country because I've got inappropriate S/N. May I install it on my radio if I supply good (fake) S/N to official HTC page?
I even didn't tray to do this because I'm afraid I can turn my HD2 a into brick.
I don't care about language. I think that after flashing ROM I can download a proper language pack.
Greats.
invalid serial means your phone is vendor locked. (eg t mobile, vodafone or whatever)
even if you download using a different serial the upgrade will fail saying "vendor id mismatch" or something similar.
in theory you need to wait for your vendor to release the update, however in reality installing hspl will allow you to instal the update without getting the error.
go read the hspl threads.
Easy to sey .
It's my first Windows Mobile based phone. I've never installed rom, and yet a cooked one.
I've have some bugs about which I've read on this forum. Those are:
* lack of virtual keyboard while creating a new text message (or any app which need it)
* error while starting digital camera.
All of that disappear after soft reset. That's why I want to install the newest rom.
To not start a new thread is there any way to find out if the rom which I downloaded from HTC suits to my phone? S/N is correct. If I start RUU it will start flashing my device, yes?
Another question. Is it true that every HTC Leo has 576MB RAM but it is locked down?
read this then, it has all the info you need on flashing your phone...

once HSPL is installed you can download an official WWE ROM from this thread and run it as if it were an official ROM for your phone...

As EddyOS stated, go read my flashing guide THOROUGHLY!!
1. Install HardSPL on your device (best done using WindowsXP or Windows7 32bit).
2. Download the Rom you require from the download site provided and flash using the instructions provided in my guide.
3. Enjoy your new phone
Once you have HardSPL on your phone it will be protected from bad flashes and you will be able to flash stock or custom roms or radios as and when you require. HardSPL is definitely reccommended as it has probably saved hundreds of phone from being turned into paperweights when flashing a bad rom or flashing incorrectly.
If you want to try a custom rom then I would definitely recommend the one in my signature but its totally upto you what you decide to put on your device.
With regards to the 576MB Ram it does seem that its actually accessible but only using the newer 2.02 Roms with specific Radios. This has been tested and verified. It wont be accessible on a 1.66 stock rom though.

- What ROM were you trying to flash and what ROM version (and language) do you have on your device?
- Is your device Branded?
- Did you flash HSPL?
- Did you see a progress bar on screen when flashing, or just the colored bars?
- When you get to the tricolor-screen (bootloader) and you connect to your PC, does it say USB after a few seconds, or does it say Serial?
- What went wrong at 24%? Did you unplug the phone, did your system crash, or were you just being inpatient?
If you answer the above questions, someone may be able to help you. Also, start by reading the stickies.
Rom was 1.48.479.1 and I wanted to replace it with 1.48.479.1 because some bugs were annoying me which I mentioned earlier.
Yes my device is branded but it doesn't have simlock.
No I didn't used HSPL because I downloaded rom from HTC using my own original S/N.
When I was flashing I saw brogress bar with HTC logo.
I have those tri-colour screen when I power on the device, but before that I have warning triangle. No it doesn't say Serial nor USB.
What went wrong. I swear I don't know. No, no, no I wasn't impatient. After it hanged on 24% I got error message from the program on PC with UPGRADE ERROR. I've tried to resume like the program said me. But without any effect. What I did was unplug; put aut battery; wait 3 seconds; put battery in; power on and plug in. I'm sure that I was doing everything right because I was following the program.

If i have 1.48 and with my serial can`t download 1.66... it is recommended to install WWE 1.66 with serials posted here without HSPL? my device is also WWE and was only sim locked Vodafone. (non-branded)
If you have questions regarding rom or hardspl flashing please ask in the correct thread.
if,when you put your serial into htc website, it doesn't allow you to download, then you MUST use hspl to flash an unbranded rom.
@y0ystet. your phone is branded. sim lock its not connected to vendor lock.instal hspl and try again, same rom.
@lakhbeer, did you flash hspl first? more detail please, messed up? doesn't work?
@rayman your phone is vodafone locked.
I repeat, the htc website doesn't accept your serial, you are provider locked and that is not connected to sim lock/unlock.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about that. They said I can send the phone to them.
I found sth out. If I hold the volume down and connect the usb cable I have a message on my screen. On screen which have three colours on green I have: "Upgrade Rom code error. Please try again" And on the white I have: "Serial".
Is there anything I can do about that?
But don't say me to flash witch the HSPL. I won't do that on two reasons:
I've never do that
If I send it to service I'll void my warranty.
What would you suggest to do?
I've solved the problem .
you going to let people know for future use?
How to fix ROM error on VODAFONE UK solution
I also have a HTC HD2 bought from Vodafone.
I flashed my mobile and installed Pandora 1.4 ROM...it was always freezing my Leo every time I looked at docs tab, so I decided to install shipped Leo ROM 1.66 and that is when things went wrong, same problem as you have now, so I downloaded h**p://w w w .4shared.com/file/205652004/1bf6c7ce/RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1434051_Ra.html
aka the original ROM from Vodafone UK and it is working now....but now I am no sure if I wanna try more roms because next time I can be stuck with error screen forever.....
Hi how do i go about flashing my HD2 back to stock English: 3.14.405.2 ROM ?! as i'd like to sell it now. i have an artemis rom, cotulla HSPL 2.08 and a splash screen from an old chucky ROm i'd like to get rid of !!
so how do i do this safely ?cheers dom
p.s will i still be able to boot into an sd build of android from a stock rom ??
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run hspl4 choose 2.08.0000 (or 3.03.0000, or in fact any that end .0000, teh next step will upgrade it anyway, so long as it ends .0000)
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run 3.14 rom .exe
done.
(this assumes you have the correct 3.14 rom, not just the default stock rom. i.e if your phone is from o2 you need the o2 3.14 rom)
PS yes
Oh right thank you for your quick reply! I think I'll just flash a stock rom so I can sell the phone as unlocked! Thanks again for your help! !!

you cant relock an unlocked phone anyway, no matter what you flash.
Dont confuse sim lock and rom lock, Totally unconnected.
a sim unlocked phone will still need hspl to flash, and a flashed phone isn't sim unlocked.

oh crap.
i just flashed straight back to stock without doing any of this... have i screwed up?
Also i did it because it keeps crashing and overheating so i was going to try it on stock and if it kept doing it i was going to send it back to htc - will they be able to tell i tried a custom rom?
(seems to be working fine though)
EDIT:
another question - will this have changed my radio back to stock too - or do I have to do this manually?
where can i download the new stock rom as the HTC site says its now for my phone....(probably because it was an O2 branded rom before)
theres an O2 update as well on the HTC website?
Otherwise the latest ones are on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
I managed to sort mine - turns out you have to do it via SD and it does everything bootloader, ROM and radio. (although it failed the first time and i almost made a mess in my trousers)
If anyones interested the instructions are (taken from HSPL4 app):
- 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.
I also formatted the SD before copying it over.
No there was only one for t mobile !
cheers for the link matey
yea its odd that, the o2 3.14 rom is there via direct link, has been since saturday, but still doesn't show if you navigate to the rom updates page on htc.uk
ok updated the hspl fine...but when i try to flash the new WWE rom i get an "invalid vendor id" at 1% and the flash fails
righty all sorted ! the O2 rom was on the UK site i was being dumb and look on htc Europe site !
all flashed and working fine now
Ok, first things first....
1) I don't know anything.
2) I've flashed my ELF (it's still working)
3) I have spent a week searching online for a remedy
4) I have spent all day looking through the Q&A, FAQs and previous posts before joining and posting (and failed to enjoy it)
The facts: I have a HTC Touch 'ELF' and here's what I've done to it so far:
1 Found the CID & Device ID
2 Unlocked it Sim ?
3 Backed up original rom
4 CID Hard unlock
5 Updated to Onyx 6
At this point all was well and the phone worked fine though did have memory issues - I then tried to connect to my Holox GPS - Here's the Problem - "YOUR DEVICE DID NOT CONNECT WITH BT-541 THE CONNECTION FAILED OR THE PASSCODE IS INCORRECT."
The passcode is correct, so it is just not connecting, I've found many threads on forums with similar problems, but no solutions.
Suspecting that Onyx 6 might be to blame I decided to install Onyx 4 instead (some programs I have won't run on Onyx 6 due to available memory).
Amazingly the phone is still working and Onyx 4 is properly installed.
However, the bluetooth issue is still the same.
I've followed several step by step guides and nothing I've tried has made any difference.
Could there be a conflict between the Onyx Bluetooth driver and the hardware ?
Should I install the original ROM and if so how ? I've been searching for hours and hours for basic info on flashing the OEM ROM - all the 'How To' guides assume that if you have successfully flashed the ROM you'll know how to go back - none of them actually say how to do it.
The Elf is running on Onyx 4 - any ideas how to get the Bluetooth working ?
Or try to put the OEM Rom back in ?
Should I try to add my backed up Rom to the forum or is it incredibly commonplace ?
TIA Everyone.....
Hey!
Which version of Radio and SPL do you have?
Recommended are HardSPL 3.10 and Radio 3.34.90.
Did you try a Hard Reset?
If you want to go back to your backup rom then
assuming that it is a correct *.nbh file, you just connect your phone to the pc and run the RomUpdateUtility or the CustomRUU in order to flash it over the rom you're running now.
If you want to flash an Official Shipped Rom which includes an original SPL then it is a bit more complicated because the HardSPL won't let you do that (overwrite protection).
In this case you either use the SoftSPL that came with the HardSPL or
you flash from your micro-SD card.
Regards!
Hi,
I'm pretty sure the hard SPL is 3.10.
My backup is one that I made following the instructions on this site.
The only RUU I have is "CustomRUU.exe" as shipped with Onyx 6 and Onyx 4 - can I use one of these with the original ROM ?
How do I tell what radio version it is ?
Is there anyway I can get the Bluetooth working or should I try to restore the original software ?

First I unlocked it so I could use a different sim - unfortunately that was a while ago and I can't remember exactly how...
The phone (& bluetooth) worked perfectly after that and I had no problems until I changed the OS.
I did exactly what was suggested in the thread (painfully slowly) and used guides for each step.
1) Find your device's CID and Device ID - did this
2) Make a backup of the stock ROM currently on your phone - did this
3) Install an IPL/USPL or HardSPL which removes the CID lock on your phone - I installed the HardSPL
4) Flash Onyx - I did this using the supplied tool

oops....
Ok, here goes.
1) Turn Bluetooth on in Comm Manager on phone. Click on settings>bluetooth.
Click on Add New Device.
2) Press and hold button on Holox until blue LED flashes quickly (bind mode).
- Phone finds 'BT-541'
Select BT-541 then 'Next' - enter passcode 0000 'next'
"Your Pocket PC has connected with BT-541"
Select Services 'Serial Port' "SAVE"
- AT this point the BT-541 (or anything else I try to connect with) WILL NOT connect = "Your device did not connect with BT-541. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect" - I have deliberately tried this with an incorrect passcode and I don't get this far, so the phone is finding other BT devices and accepting the passcode & also knows the passcode is correct.
After getting this far I've tried allocating a comport:
Com Ports > New Outgoing Port > Select BT-541 > Select Com Port 6 or 7 & secure or unsecure (I've tried all combinations, it makes no difference)
The Elf won't connect with the GPS or two other phones - that's all the bluetooth devices I have.
Anything glaringly obvious ?
TIA...

Is it ok to use 'Radio_Elfin_03.34.90' with an Elf ?
How do I install just the radio ?
Cheers....
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok, installed the new radio.
The Radio Version was 02.95.90 and is now 03.34.90.
The problem is still there.
I guess it must be hardware ?
Ok, I have a 6.5 Rom but settings are probably the same
Go to Settings>>System, scroll to External GPS and enter
In Gps program port: Com0
Next tab (Hardware): Com6 or 7 (match to what you entered in BT settings)
Enter the correct Baud rate
Next tab (Access): keep the tick on.
It should work now
Also I read somewhere that Spl 3.10 is sometimes making problems on Elf.

No, it's exactly the same.
It's not a GPS problem it's a Bluetooth problem.
Thanks for trying though.
Sorry to hear, but one last idea: try to downgrade your hspl to 2.28 (and it's always good to match the ipl too) and reflash the rom as a last attempt before you drop the towel

Can I use the CustomRuu I already have ?
If so, how do I select which rom it installs ??
TIA...
A few explanations:
1- You have H(ard)Spl (ver 3.10) which means you can't overwrite it directly either you want another version of Hspl or flash an original rom.
2- You need to use S(oft)Spl to overwrite it then flash the Hspl ver 2.28
3- You can flash any custom rom.
All you need is in the 1st post of my 2nd link, especially the "more detailed instructions".
As for the RUU, you can use the one provided there: ELF_IPL-USPL_2.26.0000.zip. You just delete the .nbh file and paste another .nbh.

2- You need to use S(oft)Spl to overwrite it then flash the Hspl ver 2.28

I thought the point of the hard spl was that it couldn't be overwritten ?
Edit:
Reading up on it.
"new feature is overwrite protection. so devices won't get bricked if flashing a full shipped rom"
Why would using a full shipped rom cause that ?
You have not read enough
It's because a full shipped rom comes with it's own Spl (resulting in Cid locking again). Using an inappropriate rom might brick a device because you can't access the possibility to Cid unlock . Hspl cannot be overwritten thus prevents the flashing of a shipped rom. On the other side custom roms don't include a Spl so they can be safely flashed on a Hspl 'ed device.
Hi,
I think I should have found a step by step guide as it hasn't gone well.
In an attempt to get the bluetooth working again, I tried to put the original rom back in.
Now I can't sync the phone and it doesn't start up.
If I turn it on I get an Orange splash screen for 12 seconds then the screen goes black - I think it shuts down.
Is it 'bricked' ?
TIA...
I hope you didn't change your hspl before you did that...

RUU Schubert hTC Asia SEA WWE 1.57.728.02 Radio 5.52.09.16 22.33a.50.10 Signed SCHUBERT TEST jailbreak.rar
works on my Asia hd7..have not tested on other region phones. Do so at yr own . If it cannot be flashed, then the update will not continue so dont worry about bricking
Hi there frens, i have accidentally made a new technique for jailbreaking while playing around with ngh and spl files. it does not actually install any rom into yr device but prepares yr mango official to be jailbreaked by Cotulla DFT
the rom is based on 7004 test rom with OSPL 1.20 , with radio 5.51 from nodo,
when flashing this rom , it will get to 100% in romupdate utility u will get a error ( corrupt image)
but thats ok and u will be stuck in tri colour bootloader with the 1.20 Installed
At this point Run DFT RSPL on it and it will show cotulla ( jailbroken)
then u can install any custom ROm u want
will upload the package soon ..
so u may be asking whats the point of this>
1) allows u to skip extra step of flashing previous nodo stock rom, and allows direct flash of any rom u want after running RSPL
2) directly jailbreak
3) 5.51 radio after flashing custom rom which has batter battery life than the 5.69 mango radio
4) if u cant find SPL supported in DFT , ( 1.20 is supported)
i have confirmed this because this 5.51 radio while i was running on nodo gave me great battery life compared to the 5.65 and 5.69 radios which are faster but at the same time power consumption goes up
When you flash RSPL from the tricolour screen, it should show Cotulla anyway, but just for the first time: check after a soft reset.
i am not a developer or expert..
this si th ebest i can get.. will upload the files and if someone were to pick up on it
we can use it as a base to directly flash custom rom with custom NBH file

I've never tried but i think that, if you just use RSPL without HSPL, you can flash a ROM (one at time, of couse, because after that you'll have to RSPL again)

well i know that...
what i meant is those who downgrade and flash bootloader again to jailbreak yr phone
So you flashed hspl while in bootloader... Ok... Can do that turning off phone then turn back on while holding volume down.
I'm missing the point. Your allowed to flash custom roms with RSPL/HSPL that's the point of it.
I think your lost.
Edit: Oh I get it now. Your doing this from an official mango rom with the locked bootloaders that don't have a RSPL/HSPL yet. Ok

If u bootloader is the latest ( 4.5 SPL) , then u cant jailbreak it yet. so need to replace the bootloader with one of the SPL supported under DFT
yes but u need a full flashing rom( complete with wrappers and rom update utility) which is compatible with yr device region
since 7004 is the one i can find while searching online for my device
i just replaced the SPL & NBH from a 5.51 radio rom package from one of the ansar releases and replaced the ones found in the 7004 rom package
the process returns an error obviously because 7004 does not have a 5.51 radio which is based on later OS updates
this error simply means the OS has not been flashed.
tha package is ready for download
I'm sick and tired of not having tethering or custom alerts, so I want to install a custom rom on my surround. I'm trying to downgrade my SPL to 1.52 so I can install HSPL, but I can't find a TELUS one anywhre.
The only one I have seen is Ansar's, but his links are dead. I can't post the links yet as i don't have 10 posts.
Does anyone know of where I can get the stock TELUS 1.52 SPL from, or where I can get Ansar's?
Thanks in advance!
I have two Telus Surrounds and I used this rom from Cingular to roll back the spl so that I could unlock it with DFT HSPL Version 3, and then you can load any custom rom you want. If you can't load the rom you might have to use the gold card with a memory stick.

I tried that one but it said invalid vendor id. I assumed that was because I had a Telus phone and not a Cingular one.
I should mention that I'm running 7.8 with bootloader 4.22.2250.0(129185) and firmware 2250.21.40200.661

I was successfully able to download and install the rom onto my phone. Now it's readying SPL 1.4.2250.2(113577) and then tried to install RSPL, but the phone would not reboot. I tried resetting the phone as some others indicated, but to no avail.
I then upgraded the phone to NODO using cab sender successfully and tried to RSPL, again the phone wouldn't reboot after completion.
Any ideas?

Great, now I can't even upgrade my phone using zune or cab sender anymore... I'm stuck on NODO.
Does anyone have the STOCK Telus ROM, and not the modified one like the one provided?
yup I have it

Telus rom is a test rom
you flash telus just to take its touch driver and radio
then you flash default shipped rom (delete SPL_Signed.nbh from shipped rom to save the drivers you got from telus)
then you can go with spl tools
thnx

When you say Flash Default Shipped ROM, are you meaning the TELUS one, or the Cingular one?
I then update using RUU or GoldCard?

The Default rom that you can name it shipped is Cingular
u use TELUS ROM when you have a trouble with touch driver ( like lock screen bug ) , or when u have trouble in call transmission driver ( making , reciving call problems )
note: u can't flash telus rom with goldcard method else you have a security unlocked bootloader !!
u can flash TELUS ROM with rom utility that come with it
after you take benefit of flashing telus, u cannot go with it, u have to return to Cingular one, note: delete SPL_signed.nbh from Cingular Rom to save drivers that u installed from TELUS, then you go with spl tools
sorry for my bad english

I don't quite understand. My phone was bought for, and is on the TELUS network. I had upgraded it to 7.8 using cab sender, but really wanted some features (Wifi Tethering, Custom Alerts), so I tried the custom ROM route.
The only thing I've been able to successfully install on it is the TELUS Test ROM, and upgrade it to NODO using Zune (Mango updates failed - I think because it wants a newer firmware, which I have the cab files, but they fail installing)
The Telus Test ROM that I had downloaded uses firmware 22.50.09.10402.661 and bootloader: 1.4.2250.2 (113577).
If I try to install RSPL/HSPL right now, the phone does not restart after completion, thus never gets into RSPL mode to do HSPL.
I recall trying to use RUU to put on Cingular ROM, however it always failed, I believe saying that Vendor ID is invalid.
I'm really frustrated with this, but I don't know how to move forward to install RSPL/HSPL.

steps to solve all of your problem
cus your device originally on telus network , you cannot install Cingular while you have locked bootlooader
solution :
1- search in forums about , unlocking boot loder
2- unlock your bootloader ( you know that your bootloader is unlocked when u see on the top of your screen , "security unlocked" when you enter the boot screen (4 colored screen)
3- install Cingular ROM and you will succeed in that after u unlock your bootloader\
4- using spl tools now u can unlock spl to get HSPL
5- install cerebellum 7.8 ROM that will find all features enabled on it ( internet sharing , etc)
and you don't need zune update anymore
note: you will find it hard to unlock your bootloader but it worth try
search in other devices forums , all are same

I was under the impression that installing RSPL/HSPL was used to unlock the bootloader. Is this something different entirely?

RSPL/HSPL is unlock bootloader not deeply enough to allow you to change the hole operator ROM , (change from telus to cingular)
you have to full unlock bootloader

I'm really not finding anything useful here... I see a lot for Android, but nothing for an HTC Windows Phone. Are you referring to an IMEI unlock? ChevronWP7? Unbranding? Interop Unlock? WP7 Root Tools?
Thanks
I've now managed to developer unlock my Surround. What's the next step from here?
