hi guys, i have an issue that so far i havent seen anyone else have. i hspl installed fine, and can flash roms (ive only use energy, and an omega one) but now my touchscreen locks up. the phone still seems to function in a basic respect. the hard buttons work, i can pick up incomming calls (by hitting the hard call button). basically the touchscreen doesnt respond. periodically through numerous restarts it may work until i lock the device, then after this it locks up again.

is this a software issue? or is the phone bricked? any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
What HardSPL did you install?

Try flashing a stock rom via activesync and see if the touchscreen works with the stock rom.

If it does then I would sugest trying a different custom rom, like duttys or miri's.

If the touchscreen doesnt work on a stock rom then is it still under warranty? If it is then reinstall stock SPL and send it back.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jett.Lewis:
it was hspl2 that i had installed, and after flashing the stock 1.43 rom, it no longer boots, or connects via active sync
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I meant the actual HardSPL version that was chosen on install and not the program used to install it.

Do you have a european HD2 (512MB Rom) or Tmobile US HD2 (1024MB Rom)?

Can you get into the bootloader? If so what exactly does the HardSPL line say?

What exactly do you see when you try to boot the phone (where does it get stuck)?

Lastly when you turn the phone off you should see 3 lines of text in the bottom left corner (if it gets that far). If you can see the lines then what does the top line say?

noob question

hi i wana try new cooked roms and etc but im afraid is there a way to permanent brick your hd2 or it can be reviwed again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
As with any modification to your phone there is a very very very very small chance of bricking your phone but as long as you follow the instructions exactly as written then everything should go fine and as soon as you have installed HardSPL your phone will be ALOT safer than with the stock SPL you already have.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] metko:
ok i just wondering if i screw up something i will brig the device to a mobile shop

so just to be clear if i brick the hd2 i can stel revive it ima asking because i just got my new hd2 and dont wana brick it or something else
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
The only way to brick it would be if something went wrong in the middle of installing HardSPL to your device. If that happened it would brick your phone and it would have to be sent back to the shop. As I said this is a minute chance and once HardSPL is on then you are very safe.

Everyone is nervous the first time. Its a leap of faith but as long as you know what you are doing then its very safe.

ok for now im not planig to flash a new rom but i need-ed to know for the future i flashed nokia fones and im fimiliar with them but this is my first htc and my first wimo and i got the device for 300euros new in box but it was region locked and i unlocked it for 20e and now dont have a waranty thats why i was askeing "can you permanent brick your hd2" and just one more question if i install hspl but dont flash the fone is my phone safer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Yes it will be safer as it will allow you to flash a new rom from Bootloader if you cant boot into windows Mobile.

Hi people.

I got a T-Mobile 1024 Leo, this is fully unlocked and I wear them in other network (Costa Rica), could I install another ROM without T-Mobile, I don't want the configurations and the T-Mobile options because I don't use at all, but I rather ask after do something.

Need some Info

It's been some time since i got my HD2 ( since march 2010) .Recently i discovered that i can have on my HD2 Android . I tried but it didn;t work. I tried to find out what was the problem and i realised that the ROM and Radio version on my device are too old to do that.

My software info is:

5.2.21869.5.0.82

Man:2.519211619.0

ROM:1.66482.1(76641) ELL (01/13/10)

RAdio:2.06.51.07

Protocol:15.30.50.07U

i would to know if there is an newer ROM and Radio Version in Greek ('cause the HTC official site does not have any newer than mine) and if not when i flash the new ROM from this site would i be able to write in greek like i do now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
That was more than 1 question lol.

Your SPL should match your Rom so if you arent planning on upgrading your Rom then stick with HSPL1.42 but if you want to flash one of the newer Roms then HSPL 2.08 is the best one.

I dont know how much repair cost is if the phone is bricked as I dont work in a repair shop.

Nothing is ever 100% foolproof theres always a small chance (as I have said a few times now) such as losing power to your pc half way through the flashing process.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You can flash the 2.12 or 2.14 radio as they are the same for any region. I think Dutty has EL (greek) versions of WinMo that work with Android. Try asking on his thread.

Hi All,

I currently have flashed ROM RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.72.161.3_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship. Can I flash another RADIO only, for example: one which unlocks 576MB RAM - it was extracted from TMOUS 2.07 ROM?

I've got HSPL 1.66 on my European HD2.

I will be very grateful for any help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] metko:
i think you cant because you will brick your phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Your main question was how much would it cost to repair if you bricked it which I answered. You never asked if it was still fixable if you screw something up.

To answer that question, yes it is fixable if you brick the phone but it would be extremely hard to brick as long as you follow all the instructions properly.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You wouldnt brick your device by flashing a new Radio as long as you have HardSPL installed before.

To unlock the extra Ram you need more then just the updated Radio. You also need the correct oem drivers from the TMOUS Rom. I think at some point a user posted the exact instructions to unlock the extra Ram but I dont know where its gone.

Its much easier to flash a new Rom which has the extra Ram already built in. Of course you would still need to flash a newer Radio BEFORE flashing the Rom or you may get stuck on a white startup screen.

how to i upgrade HSPL2 to HSPL3?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] metko:
thnx mark for everything soryy for misanderstanding

i aked all these question because im extremly carefully with devices specialy with my new ones wich hspl is better 2 or 3
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you already have HSPL2 installed then there is really no need to update to HSPL3. HSPL3 was only made to accomodate users with TMOUS HD2's and the stock SPL2.10 (HSPL2 didnt work with those phones).

HSPL3 works for any HD2 with any stock SPL but it only goes between SPL2.08 and HSPL2.08 to stop TMOUS users installing a lower HSPL that would brick their devices. European HD2's didnt suffer from this problem and cant be bricked by flashing a lower HSPL so as I originally said if you already have HSPL or have a European HD2 then you can stick with HSPL2.

Hi All,

I have question about flashing TMOUS ROMS on European HTC HD2.

I currently use ROM: RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.72.161.3_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship, so if I want to flash any ROM from Custom ROMS based on TMOUS ROMS, I will should flash original ROM+RADIO from TMOUS ROMS before flashing Custom Roms or only a RADIO. Is that right?

I will be very grateful for help.

You just need to update your Radio to a TMOUS compatable Radio. Teh 2.12 works pretty well. Then you can flash the TMOUS Rom you dont have to flash another TMOUS stock Rom first.

Thanks for all the great info in this thread and forum.

I just flashed 1.66.405.2 WWE and is working fine.

However when I check the phone software version, it is still showing my previous 1.48 ROM and I assume also Manila (2.5.19211619.0) that came with it. It does show on the same screen the updated ROM date, Radio, and Protocol.

On the boot screen in the bottom left corner, it shows the updated 1.66 ROM, Radio (just updated to 2.14.50.04), and updated Protocol.

Updated with HSPL3 with no problems but it's weird that it's still showing the old ROM in Win but on the boot screen it is updated.

Thanks.

You can flash the stock rom via sd card if you want but I wouldnt recommend it. It seems as though the new European series 3 Roms have a new spl 3.03 which will overwrite any existing hardspl or spl and mean you will not be able to reinstall HardSPL or flash another Rom.

Extract the nhb file and flash via activesync (if you have HardSPL installed) and you will not flash the new SPL.

If you dont have HardSPL and just want to upgrade then you can only do so if the rom is from the same cource as your original stock rom.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mattias28:
Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it'll update the next time I reflash my ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
did you use some kind of settings backup/restore? because if so it has restored your old roms registry entries so is showing incorrect version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mattias28:
Why yes I used Resco Backup and restored from there. Maybe that's the culprit.

I assume this isn't harmful in any way other than misinformation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
hard to say, , if it's working then don't worry about it, if you find a problem that's probably the culprit. easy to live with till next flash, and next time just back up the data, not so much the settings.

it's handy to have a working knowledge for something like ceregistryeditor and wincecab manager (or similar apps), then you can build your common reg tweaks into a single cab, and that way you don't need to backup the registry, just your contacts and emails and such like.

If I have hspl 2.08 installed with hspl2 and I want to restore the original spl 1.42 included with original stock ita rom 1.66, can I flash 1.66 stock rom (with old 1.42 spl) from sd or I can only restore spl 2.08 with same version of hspl? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mattias28:
Thank you for all the advice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Full backups using programs such as resco or spb are only intended for use when restoring to exactly the same rom. It will backup alot more than you really want to take to a new Rom including system information and rom settings that could potentially be harmful and make your system unstable as Roms (especially custom ones) can differ greatly in how they are set up.

I doubt it did too much damage but in future if you are going to a new Rom then you only want to perform a partial backup to backup programs, contacts, messages, then set the rest of the rom manually.

At least you now know why your information has been carried across to your new rom.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you want to take everything back to stock then you can flash a stock rom via sd card and it will flash your Rom, Radio, Splashscreen and spl back to stock and it will overwrite any existing versions.

Makes sense.

If I did a HARD reset and then reinstall all my programs manually (not restore), will it fix what I did wrong by restoring?

Hi there,

I need a bit of help.

Firstly, I've got the HTC HD2 T-Mobile UK. I have flashed my device with HSPL 2.08 and the Radio to Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.28_2.

I have downloaded the following ROM: [BUILD][21.09.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8][Kernel: 2.6.32.15 #5] and have booted into Android.

All seems ok except the following:

ActiveSync wont connect to HD2

Hi There,

Hope someone can advise - I have searched but no resolution yet.

I have HDSL my HD2 (2.08.HSPL) - That's OK.

So am trying to flash a Radio ROM, then custom ROM - but I cannot get Active sync to "connect" with the HD2 to flash. I have tried a couple PCs (Vista & Win7), version 6.1 WMDC.

I have unchecked the "Enable faster file transfer", when I select the Disk Drive option I can connect with the SD fine everytime.

I get ERROR[264]: CONNECTION when running CustomRUU (in flash app)

Unable to connect

Any ideas?

Tried the other way: to Flash the ROM from my SD card, but unsurprisingly the CustomRUU_exe does not work: not a valid Pocket PC app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antiasif:
ThanX for the Rom Update, it was really helpful. Learned quite few tricks aswell. i.e. I first used the HSPL and then updated your ROM and everything was great, EXCEPT i couldnt recieve/make any calls. tried lots of stuffZ, but nothing. Later i had Radio upgrade of 2.15.... so i upgraded it from 2.07.... and tada worked like a charm! Hope if someone nooob like me is having the same problem, can actually try this, might save them from near heart attack...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Did you actually read the steps on how to flash via microsd card? Its not suprising that customruu didnt work because you arent supposed to use it for sd card flashing and its not in the steps.

Rename the nbh file (of the radio or rom) to LEOIMG.nbh, copy the nbh file to the ROOT of your storage card, enter bootloader mode and follow the onscreen instructions.

DONT flash a stock rom via sd card though as it will overwrite your Radio and SPL with the stock version.

Is this correct?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you dont have HardSPL on your phone then the only roms you can flash are official ones from your carrier. Everything else will be blocked which is why HardSPL was created to get around this problem.

If you flash a stock rom via activesync then it wont overwrite your current HardSPL version but I think it will overwrite a standard SPL as the carrier needs to make sure that your Rom and SPL match to run properly.

If you install HardSPL on your phone then it will only be overwritten by flashing a stock rom via sd card or by installing the HardSPL program again and selecting the stock version.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] luckyuser:
Sometimes you have to say no!

@mskip

Thanks for help and information. In the meantime i will stay at my 1.66 ROM.

There are to much troubles with NEW ROM 3.14, and when i read all the threads and replies, in my opinion there are too few benefits to flash it at the moment, certainly as long there is no HSPL to deal with the new spl 3.03.

And last but least, "Never change a winning team"!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Si6776:
I have a question. The only carrier ROM I can install on my device, is apparently, a German Vodafone ROM, which will brand and lock the phone to Vodafone. My phone is currently unbranded and unlocked, so how easy would it be to unbrand and unlock the phone again, given that it seems it's already been done once, if I were to install the German ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the network lock cannot be re locked, so don't worry about it, , and the rom can be unlocked with hspl any time you want to change.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] El Che:
Thank you very much kind sir for this tutorial!!! :)

I was bricking it myself because ive never done it before. Luckily i followed your instructions to the letter and didn't brick my phone :p

I installed hspl, radio and custom rom (chucky rom) without any problem. I have an hd2 and wanted to use android (from sd card) and have read that chucky's rom + 2.14.50.02 radio is recommended for android.

I see you haven't mentioned task 29 ? i read in another thread something about it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Si6776:
Thanks Sam, that's different to what HTC told me, but given my last experience with their support team, that doesn't surprise me. I'm concerned about branding, though, and I don't want splashscreens, etc, plastered all over my phone. The reason I am looking at an 'official' ROM is that I don't want to risk using HSPL. Is that what you were referring to re 'unlocking' the ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yea, unlocking the phone to allow flashing.

For instance if like me you have an o2 phone, you cant flash the generic HTC official roms, only those that are brnaded to o2, so you need hspl.

Most operators have at some point released both branded (operator/carrier/rom locked, its called) and unbranded (takes the HTC WWE roms).

Best way to really be certain which version you have is to use the htc download page, give it your serial, and see what it lets you download. If it lets you have a branded voda germany rom, then its 'rom locked'.

If it is rom locked, you will need either hspl, sspl(cant change radio with sspl) or a goldcard. By far teh easiest option is hspl.

If its having warranty voiding hspl on your phone that worries you, dont forget that as soon as the flash has finished, you can run hspl2 again and remove hspl straight away, so its warranty valid again. HSPL only needs to be there for the time teh flash is happening.

Oh and with hspl you can flash just a splashscreen if you want,. there are loads of threads, , see my 'watermarking' one in my sig, for instance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Si6776:
Many thanks, Sam, that answers my questions nicely.
