Problem with the CustomRUU file....

Really excellent guide - super job!

Now for the problem. I posted this up in the Miri ROM thread a few days ago and whilst not a show stopper it is interesting. Simply put once I run the CustomRUU.exe file to upload the new ROM it does nothing. The curser spins a few times then nothing. I even tried downloading the CustomRUU that was originally developed and tried that but to no avail. Tried updating the WMDC package to the very latest and still no joy. Turned off the firewall, the anti-virus and still nothing. The device is connected ok via the USB cable and syncs fine.

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and have never really had this sort of issue before. I can run the old SSPL way but I assume I always run the risk with every flash that I may have a problem. Next time I might try the SD card route just to see if that works.

The HSPL flashed fine and bootloader tells me that is loaded ok. Any ideas??

Very informative and well-written post for a flash-n00b like me. Thanks. But is there a post comparing the different strengths of the different cooked ROMs?

You did say (For Noobs)

Sorry for asking a noob question.

Some of the ROM's available are .exe and thus unless self extracting can not have .nbh renamed

I did read somewhere on another thread that it should be renamed .zip and unpacked but cannot find that post now would like confirmation if possible.

I am new to this forum and customising Win Mo phones but finding it very enlightening, thanks to all the contributors

*edit* Just ran .exe and it is self-extracting, sorry another couple of months of reading and might not ask stupid questions
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fygtbug:
so easy so simple thanks

ran hspl done

got unlock code from your-unlock.com 10 mins max for a tmobile cost £15

updated rom to 1.48 wwe

just like having a brandnew phone with everything htc shipped

shame the iphone guys cant do things this easy cos i just sold the hd2 and bought an iphone again lol

all in all brilliant work

Hey could you add into the first post a short guide on reflashing a stock rom please? It'would be very helpful for reference :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Galactus:
Hi dear im new to the world of flashing....i understand the tutorial and want to flash [ROM][WM6.5.3][30/12/09] l3v5y Leo ROM [28205][10010201] to my phone. can i follow the exact procedure in the tutorial or must i install the SPL 1.42.0000 because if i do then thats the part which i don't understand. sorry for the n00bness lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] iwang:
can't do any of the above...i went back and flash HTC's 1.66 rom and it does install!! hahah

i guess i have to do task29 before flashing another rom, yah?

thanks

so much for learning curve:p:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes. task29 is advised before rom flashes. What version of spl do you have now? You need hspl in order to flash, so just check that you still have your hspl installed and that it wasn't overwritten.

Welcome to the "Flashers United" club LOL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] iwang:
yeah i just re-hspl(was probably overwritten hence i cannot start flashing anything)..now trying task29.exe ..it works...booting....now in bootloader mode and try flashing romeo again :D :D

thanks anyway...won't learn until you actually did it and messed it up haha
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Pleasure m8, glad you got sorted. Personally I prefer the "read, search, read some more and then try" approach :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] iwang:
been thru read and search part..but nothin like hands on experience + problems + troubleshooting, really...

this radio appears battery hungry...but changing out to 2.07 gives me problems..

Cotulla has taken down the link for HardSPL2_1024 for further testing to make sure it is absolutely safe to use on USA LEO's with the 1024MB ROM. I know some people out there already have the file downloaded but PLEASE DO NOT share this file or send it to other members until it has been deemed perfectly safe by Cotulla.

Im sure you people who have the USA model are wanting to HardSPL your phone but just be patient for a few days until the method has been tested again to make sure there are no underlying problems with the HardSPL2_1024 file.

If any links to this file are posted before Cotulla says its ok then they will be deleted and the member will be given a warning. If everything is ok then it will be reposted soon so hang on as im sure you dont want to risk bricking your nice new phone.

Thanks for understanding.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Which 2.07 radio did you try. The 2.07.50.xx works on the 2.10 based roms, but the 2.07.51.xx does not
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erebusting:
HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe is not the file I have, I downloaded it before it was deleted it is just HSPL2_RUN.exe.. now when I run it ...it runs and puts my phone into bootloader mode then I get an error something like "bad deviceID" ?... anyone else have this issue.. or better yet -anything I can do to fix it ?....

thanks all!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That's because that version is for non TMOUS 1024 HD2, and that's why you get the invalid model id. the current hspl2 only works on device PB81100.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cotulla:
hm..., about 1024LEO:

seems some users flashed old radio to 1024LEO (ROM 2.10 comes with 2.08 radio, I know 2.05 radio doesn't support new nand memory and 2.07 support it)

also HSPL is CID unlocked, so it's checking only first 4 chars of ModelID... so ROMs for PB811000 can be installed to PB811200 (1024LEO). In this case installed official 1.42 ROM to 1024LEO cause brick...

the main problem - ppl who have problems, they can't give exactly description of their actions...

I have not telepathy abilities...:D

maybe we need additional subforum for 1024LEO devices...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I'd have to question that, seeing what you and your team have done with HSPL2, I'm pretty sure you could do ANYTHING LOL :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jgu71424:
Hows the testing going? and i had 2.08 radio version US and it worked for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] raymondf13:
perhaps a re-release but with a disclaimer?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cotulla:

Hspl2 (installation) error

Working nicely.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] raymondf13:
funny because as far as I remember when I was flashing the dream, there was or still is a "death HSPL" where if you had a certain updated radio before flashing the death HSPL... brick

flashers are always well aware that they are 1. voiding the warranty and 2. running the risk of bricking their devices... although you are right. they read after thus causing delays for us all

READ BEFORE YOU FLASH!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HotShotAzn:
Cotulla,

Any word on if the file is safe to use? I did find the file but I'm waiting. I got the HD2 yesterday and haven't used it (in part because I want to waste my time setting it up only to have to do it again).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GokuSS4:
So Finally after trying all day yesterday got HardSPL to work on my HD2 for tmo US and was able to flash NRGZ rom everythinng is working fine for me Thanks!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xerotonin:
did anyone get the hspl1024 download, cant find it anywhere....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HotShotAzn:
I found it by googling my @$$ off.

I was going to wait but I was sick of looking at it and having to use my iPhone. Plus my wife called me a little girl. I held my breath, and did it. Yes Cotulla, you are awesome!

One thing to note is I got the connection error because my USB cable was in the front port of my PC (which is more like a hub) so I plugged it into the back USB ports.

I have TMobile HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wicked_beav:
Will the hardspl file you have linked for the 512 work for the 1024 as the link on the 1024 is a dead link.

EDIT: Ok, so I see that it wont... but could someone please upload the correct one that is needed for the T-Mobile HD2 please? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erebusting:
I thought HDSPL2 was for the 1024 leo, guess I was mistaken...so the one I need is HSPL2 1024 ?.... any word on where I can get it ?

thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bimboy:
Great work guys! Just flashed HSPL on my T-Mo US HD2. Looking forward to setting up a LEO kitchen and whipping up a few roms. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I think I need to totally seperate these 2 devices as its causing ALOT of confusion.

Later tonight I will write up a new thread for flashing the 1024 LEO and try to make it as clear as possible (without shouting) the dangers of flashing incompatable Radios or Roms.

Hopefully this will cut down on people asking which HardSPL to use. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with HardSPL2_1024 as long as its used correctly.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bimboy:
Totally agree, Mark.

As more new cooked roms become available, either there needs to be a distinct naming structure for thread names to confirm 1024 (or not), or a "CDMA-esque" sub-forum be created to prevent the onslaught of help me unbrick it threads.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cotulla:
ok I will restore file tomorrow...

this is good idea :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
And please make it shorter than the first post of this thread. It's way too much information, for such a simple task. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cotulla:
it's not so simple in reality ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I really wish I could make it shorter but its about as condensed as it possibly can be lol. My flashing for noobs guides are created for the person who is totally new to Windows Mobile devices, has little to no experience of flashing and is very nervous about what to do.

Its very important that they have as much information as they need to feel confident enough to flash their devices, a task that can potentially brick it. I remember when I first started flashing my Hermes the information needed was spread over soo many different threads I needed a bigger screen just to have all the links available at the same time :p

If you can make all noobs instant experts then I can condense the guide ALOT but until that magical day happens I think its about as short as it can be ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sctpc:
IM in trouble

I have just used HSPL yea no problem but then ROM ok I chose Miri_HD2_WM65X_23549_XtraLight_V10.0 but I think its not compatible as now all Im getting is the start screen htc and I cant get the thing to sync.

I was a T9193 with Telstra rom spl 1.42

please help me How can I make it sync?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
So is the Rom actually running ok and you just cant sync with your pc or is it not working at all?

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sctpc:
no just plan start white screen with HTC

up date to fix this go into tricolour screen and I got sync and now all working I have now loaded Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21896.5.0.91_2.10_HG_Ultimate_Radio_2.08.50.8.2_V1.4_WWE thanks Mark
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The problem was probably the radio. Many of the newer cooked roms require radio 2.08 in order to boot past the HTC screen. Dutty's rom includes the radio and that's why it worked for you. No that you've installed Dutty's the radio will stay and if you try your other rom it will now boot properly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
In future make sure you have flashed the Radio required before flashing the Rom (if the Rom doesnt include one) or you will get stuck on the white screen as you described.

Glad you got it sorted though :)

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sctpc:
Thanks guys just a bit off panic there :eek: could see $800 going up in smoke
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
As long as you have HardSPL on your device you are relatively safe. As long as you can get back into the bootloader then you can always rescue the situation if anything does happen to the Rom.

HD2 Telco bloatware making me sick help!

I have a Telstra T9193 model P81110, SPL 1.42.0000 XE with all the Telstra bloatware. There should be a law banning these guys from ruining a perfectly good phone with quick links and other junk that cannot be removed.

I have tried flashing my phone with HSPL2 and it failed after reading these posts it looks like nobody else has had much luck, it looks like the early Telstra T9193's were flashable with HSPL2 but the telco has changed something and the later models which mine is one of cannot be flashed.

I thought of goldcarding it but wonder has anybody else got any ideas cause I am sick of the Telstra bloatware. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
When you say HSPL1024 what do you mean exactly? If you are talking about HardSPL for 1024LEO's then it has its own guide now in the 1024 forum so please post in there in future. There has only been 1 version of HardSPL for the 1024 devices so no need to reinstall anything. If you are talking about the HardSPL2 for 512LEO's then you only need to install it if you want to change your HardSPL version to a higher one so that it matches the rom you are using.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bouncy006:
hi, first of all thanx for your very detailed guide , but ive some questions:

Ive already flashed my hd2 with the original hspl and flashed with the 1.66 WWE shipped ROM.Now I'd like to flash Duttys Leo HG V1.5 [5.2.21897.5.0.91] ROM ,but i'm not sure that it would be able to flash with th original hspl.

So do i have to flash the new hspl2 or it's good with the old one.

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No it's not necessary. As long as you have a version of hspl loaded you can flash any rom. It is suggested however that you match your spl version to the rom you are using. 1.42hspl for 1.43 & 1.48 based roms, 1.66hspl for 1.66 and 1.72 based roms and 2.08hspl for the 2.10 based roms. Check on the Dutty thread to see what base he is using.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
use hspl 1. nothing to do with "but the telco has changed something and the later models which mine is one of cannot be flashed." its because the model number of the telstra isn't included in hspl2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] emersonvier:
MSKIP, Can I choiche what HSPL I use?

Thx

EMERSON VIER
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CasualStarlord:
I have your exact phone, flash the SPL to SPL 1.42.HSPL, that version works fine, I'm enjoying the EnergyRom on my T9193 now :D

I installed it using HSPL1 though, so maybe you should just dig that up and use that :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but There is no real difference between HSPL1 and HSPL2 appart from the ability to flash stock roms from the sdcard without overwriting SPL... I'm fine without that feature, I can always flash it back on if I ever overwrite it, and the only reason I'd get a stock rom is if I was returning it to Telstra and in that example I would WANT to overwrite HSPL with the stock SPL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes you can. HSPL2 gives you more options. you can choose between 1.42hspl, 1.66hspl or 2.08hspl. The advice is to try to match the hspl to the rom you are using. 1.42 hspl is suggested for 1.43 - 1.48 based roms. 1.66hspl for 1.66 - 1.72 based roms and 2.10hspl for 2.xx based roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bouncy006:
Thanks for your reply, i checked and HG 1.5 Duttys ROM is based on the 2.10 stock ROM.But ive already flashed duttys rom and i have the 1.42 hspl. Well, do i have to upgrade it to 2.08 hspl with the hspl2 without flashing duttys rom again?

Everything works good and its smoother than ever:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No you don't need to, but you can if you wish, and No, you won't need to reflash the rom. I can't say I've seen any significant differences after changing to 2.08.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Azerox:
Didnt read everything but one quick qeustion:

I have HSPL 1.42 (old one), can i just flash the new one on top of it?

Yes you can. Just make sure to use one of the hspl versions.

I just received my Telstra T9193 a few days ago and have been reading the threads about flashing rom.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:

Because you haven't HSPL'd, your phone is rom locked to telstra 'till you do.

Got a realy weird problem..

Formated the Phone with task 29 and put Rom as "LEOIMG.nbh" in the root of MicroSD card.

The phone enters the bootloader but wont notice rom.

I did that very often before alrdy.. I changed to 16gb card thats the only thing,

of course its FAT32 etc.

Realy weird because the phone noticed the SDcard normally after bootup.

Ill not be able to change the SDcards back for some days.

Bad model ID

Can some one tell me what it means after I run the HSPL2 I get an error message saying Bad model ID. I have tried other and cant seem to get anything to work on this phone all I get is error messages. I'm am new to this and need some help. it's running spl-2.08 it also says

ROM 2.10.531

ROM date 1/22/10

OS Version 5.2.21
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It means that the HSPL version you are running does not work with your model. In bootloader mode what info shows there? You will see info with the model id eg PB81100.

HSPL2 will not work on the Telstra or TMOUS 1024 models. There is a separate forum and

HSPL for the 1024 model

and for Telstra you would need to run HSPL1.

Not all roms have the necessary hack in them. The radio or the rom by them selves can not give 576 meg, you need both, so despite having a radio that can unlock the 576, it won't work unless the rom itself supports 576 ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:

Gr8 news. Yeah you will feel like a kid in a candy store, but now that you have the tools you can try then out to your heart's content. Welcome to the Flashaholic's Club.

Word of warning: - Depending on the rom you choose you may need to change the radio. Most of the roms here are based on 2.10 roms and therefore require a radio with a 50 in the naming as opposed to the 51 version you have.
