Hardreset?

Yesterday I installed 1.48 ITA STOCK ROM using proper application (I did not extract RUU_signed.nbh and flashed with Custom_RUU).

I read that using original app hardreset is automatically done after flashing, so if it is true only after installing a cooked rom you need to perform a hardreset, true?

question flash radio

do i perform flash radio, after that, need hard rest one time ?

thanks for help !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chris_ah1:
good post. just a reminder to folks as Ive seen this question, but rename the HTC ROM from .exe to zip, and 7zip or any other similar archival app will be able to expand it.

You will then be able to flash that .nbh you will find inside.

Some people didnt realise you could extract a .exe.

whenever i run HardSPL on my XP laptop it loads up what looks like the first screen, except that it has black area at the bottom and silver bar at the top, and just hangs.

any ideas?

I would always perform a hard reset after flashing a rom whether it did it automatically or not, just to be safe. Doesnt do any harm and can save alot of hasstle later.

You dont need to hard reset after flashing a Radio, only after flashing a Rom.

Look at the bottom of the first post on how to enter bootloader mode. Then type here exactly what the spl line says.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Unfortunately you can't just use any original rom, you will need to find one for your region or for your operator as there is a region check built into the devices to stop this. You may be lucky and find a rom which you can flash to give you an spl of 1.42.0000. If not you will be limited to using sspl and can then only flash roms which do not require a radio change.

If you check under the stickies there is an original rom thread with many stock roms, and through trial and error you will hopefully find one that will work. Just make sure that you have a copy of your original rom to revert back to if none work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ht_ppc:
Dear Mark,

I'm having a little confuse now, according to old thread:

********************************************************

"Originally Posted by mskip

It wont let you flash a different language Rom as the region code is different so yo uwill just get an error. Yes it was tried ALOT of times when people first got the HD2 and wanted to change stock roms.

Im sure the SPL will be 1.42 as people who have only recently got an HD2 are still installing HardSPL so their phones must be shipped with the right version. You will just have to wait and see.

Mark.

*********************************************************

why someone get an error when trying to flash a deifferent language Rom?

MSkip,

I have one quick question. Nooby of course but i want to make sure. I am a fewew minutes away from buying HD2 but its locked. Will this Bepe HSPL sort me out. The can unlock it for me but I feel they wanna rip me off. They say 45 pounds just unlocking. Please help here bro:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It depends on the unlock needed. AFAIK the hspl can't unlock a SIM locked or Vendor/Operator locked device. There are sites that can do it online, but I'm not sure what they charge and it normally involves supplying them with the device IMEI number. So it's probably safest to let them unlock it for you, although it does sound a little steep.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Sorry I must have misread your question, I thought you was just asking about upgrading to a newer stock rom which you can do easily via activesync after installing HardSPL.

Im really not sure whether you can flash a stock wwe rom over a stock chinese rom via microsd card but why would you even want to do that and lose HardSPL off your phone?

The best thing for you would be to install HardSPL, then install whatever stock or custom rom you want to via activesync to keep your HardSPL intact and give you extra protection. If you then need to go back to your oringinal rom for warranty purposes then you can flash it via microsd card to put everything back to original condition.

I would advise you to first go into your software information screen and write down your rom, radio and protocol versions so you can find the exact rom your need to get back to stock.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
When they talk about unlocking they are referring to sim unlocking so you can use other carriers sim cards in your phone. If you dont need to do this then dont worry about sim unlocking as it doesnt affect flashing anything on your phone. If you do need to sim unlock it then you can do it online for £15 from http://leo.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-HD2/

HardSPL allows you to flash custom roms but it wont sim unlock your phone.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Staxxthedan:
Damn. Okey Mate. I guess I just have to cough some 45pounds more..:mad: Thanks mate I am gonna stall the purchase for a day or so just in case we I can find info on unlocking it myself. I thought I saw security level gets set to zero and disables CID check. So I thought if you can flash custom ROM after installing HSPL you should be good to go:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no matter what you do to the rom, or with goldcards or anything, , , it will NOT sim unlock the phone. Unlucky. :)

I don`t Know what is Wrong

Dear All

- first of all I would like to thank you for your great efforts here.

- second I bought a new HTC HD2 ( LEO ) from Egypt . it comes with ROM 6.5 Ver 1.48.488 with SPL 1.14.0000 and I downloaded the Arabic Ver from the site for the arabic support pack which it in the ROM 6.5 Ver 1.66.415.4 with SPL 1.66.0000.

and I did follow all the steps in post #1 to install HSPL but every time when I try to downgrade the offical SPL "1.66.0000" to "1.14.0000" using the following Shiped offical roms

"WWE 1.43.405.1 Radio 15.26.50.07U 2.04.50 22 2 "

and

"WWE 1.48.405.2 Radio 15.28.50.07U 2.05.51.05 2 "

VIA the SD method and the ROMUpdateUtility method it gives me error message "Invalid Vender ID".

And I can not find anywhere the first Offical shiped Rom which it content the old SPL 1.14.0000

Is there any advice ?

Again thank you all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
never heard of spl 1.14

hspl requires spl 1.42.0000 to instal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Renazzi:
Hi all,

i'm new to the scene. I flashed a ROM but i've recognized some BUG-s.

I want to flash a new one, and i've read somewhere:"Before falshing a new custom rom, it's suggested to flash the phone with an original ROM, to remove all junk data"

What i did:

1. HSPL - Check

2. Flashed original 1.66 ROM with Hardreset- Check

3. Flashed radio 2.08.50.05 - Check

4. Flashed custom ROM with Hardreset - Check

Do i need to flash to 1.66 before flashing a new cutom ROM, or.....?

When yes, wich way, Activesync or SD card method?

Thanx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] .hide:
hi all.

this is the 1st time i am owning a Wm device. and learn about custom rom are better in term of performance etc. but since this is the 1st time i am flashing my device. i got a few question to ask about old boys and girls here

1.as i am still a noob on flashing. what will cause my device to brick at the worse?

2.if i successed flash to HSPL will i able to flash back to orginal rom if there is a need for me to sent back my Leo to service center? will the warrenty be void?

3.do i need to flash my radio separately or it come does together with the cooked rom?

thanks for reading and appreciated for the upcoming reply and thanks for the hard work chef and helpers here.kudos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mezolezo:
Sorry Guys its writing mistak .. i am still used to my old Blackstone :o the old SPL not 1.14 its 1.42 sorry again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I have never flashed a stock rom between custom roms so I dont think its really neccessary every time. The only time I would recommend it is if you are having problems with your existing rom and want to set everything back to default before flashing your new one.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
So your spl is 1.66 now?

You need to find your carriers stock 1.43 or 1.48 rom to be able to downgrade the spl to 1.42 so you can install HardSPL. If you cant find that then you wont be able to install HardSPL and the only way you can flash custom roms is via SSPL.

MArk.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Throwing it against a wall will brick it the most lol :p

Actually its very hard to brick the HD2. Just stay away from flashing stock roms via microsd card and you will be fine.

If you have HardSPL on your device you can get everything back to stock level by flashing your original stock rom via microsd card which will revert the rom, radio and spl to original condition. Try to find your original carriers stock rom and keep it on your pc just in case you ever need it.

Custom roms will tell you whether they contain a radio or not. Most of them do but its not guarenteed so if you arent sure then check in the roms thread which radio you need before flashing it.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ht_ppc:
Thks Mark,

the reason I'm asking is because of curiousity, because there are lots of custom roms which comes from other country of region, so I just wanna know if there is any limitation from flashing custom roms or stock roms after installing HSPL.

Sorry to keep troubling you:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
A limitation? On the contrary... HSPL allows for CID restrictions to be removed and also allows for custom Rom's.

Is definitely the way to go.....;)

Please check your update utility'

Has anyone got any suggestions. I really want to get my hands on some of the custom roms

Thank guys
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Please answer the following:

Have you already installed HardSPL?

Did you put the customruu file in the same folder as the rom file?

Do you have an activesync connection with your pc?

What is the filename of the nbh file you want to flash?

Lets say I got a sim locked device nad got it unlocked. would flashing of another rom lock the device again? Since the unlocking is like a software solution? Do I need to keep the unlock code just in case?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MDAC3:
No, once the device has been unlocked using the code it is unlocked for good. I unlocked mine last week and have flashed a few ROMS to see which i prefer and it is still unlocked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CasualStarlord:
I need to return my unit due to a USB hardware fault, (it's not charging or syncing or detecting that the USB cable is plugged in) and I would like to reflash it to the default rom for this purpose.

Currently I have Hard SPL and the latest Engery ROM and radio 2.08 installed, and according to the first post in this thread if I take the original rom (RUU_Leo_Telstra_WWE_1.49.841.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.11_Ship), take out the nbh file, and then put it into a microsdhc card formatted for fat32 and place it in the root of that card named LEOIMG.nbh I can then reset the device holding down the down volume key, and then follow on-screen instructions.

I get a white page that says Loading..... then quickly jumps to something else that I can't read it flicks past really quickly, I think it mentions EXE somewhere

Then I get to the page that has red, green, blue white, in the red area it reads

PB81110 HX-BC

SPL-142.HSPL XE

0x05

ContullaHSPL 0x30

in the white area it reads

Serial

It has no other "on-screen" instructions, can anyone offer me some help?

This phone is having issues getting USB connections so something else may be borked in it anyway

Appart from the lack of USB working, if I charge the battery externally to the phone, it works great... just no usb working, even for just charging from the wall unit :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
Step 1

Find your original stock rom that u had before u flashed.....<<HERE>>This will include your rom and radio

Step 2

:

Using winrar, you need to extract the rom from the stock rom.

Step 3

:

Once RUU_sighed.nbh is extracted, rename it LEOIMG and place this in the root of your SD card and then restart your device while holding vol down. Keep holding it and then you will see the bootloader which in turn will begin the flashing.

Step 4

:

Hard reset your device and let it boot and then remove the LEOIMG.nbh from sd card and then place the device back into bootloader mode

you should see...

PB81100 HX-BC

SLP1.42.000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

Then check your device info to make sure your rom and radio has returned as well....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CasualStarlord:
That list does not contain my original rom from Telstra, I got it from http://htcpedia.com/official_wm_rom_htc_hd_leo_telstra_english_version/soft/htc-leo-rom.html

However I have followed the instructions to the dime. This time I held down the vol_down button for a full 2 minutes and it did nothing but sit at the red green blue and white screen as above, should it start flashing before that or should I hold it down for 5 minutes or something?

If the ROM is bad, would that cause this perhaps?

UPDATE: I downloaded the telstra rom again from htcpedia.com, extracted it again, and put it on the card, this time however it is slightly different, now when it gets to the Loading.... screen it also says in red above it 00068002 then goes back to the red green blue white screen again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] .hide:
thanks for the reply mark.

For the stock rom. is it the 1 we can get from our regional in Htc web? sorry if this question sound stupid. still vague about it.

As for custom rom. for an example if i install 1 of the custom rom and wish swicth to a new custom rom. do i need to do everything from start or just flash it fromthe custom rom i have will do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hk3948:
Thanks for your reply mark

yes, i have installed hspl

im not sure what you mean by your second question, do you mean just create a new folder and stick both the customruu and custom rom in it?

yes, i have had an active sync connection with my pc

the filename of the nbh rom i want to flash is RUU_signed.nbh

hope this is enough info. any suggestions. really appreciate your help by the way

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If your phone was bought sim free then you can use the official htc stock rom. If it was bought on contract then you need your providers official rom usually found on there site.

As for the custom rom its very easy if you have a custom rom on your phone and wish to put another custom rom on then just sync, flash the rom, wait for it to reach the customization screen and then hard reset. You can then set your phone up and start using your new rom.

When you go to hard reset your device, if you pull the battery to turn it off then dont do it while the phone is installing or working as it might cause problems.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
By my second question I meant that the customruu and the nbh file need to be in the same folder (just those 2 files) before you run the customruu, otherwise it wont be able to find the rom you want to flash.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you are trying to flash the latest 2.10 based cook roms then you have to make sure you have the 2.08.50.08_2 Radio flashed BEFORE you install the Rom or it will get stuck at the white screen(which I assume is happening to you).

If thats not the case then tell me what roms you have tried and what Radio you have on your phone and I will work out why its not working.

Hi,

I have read all stuff and, I have almost clear what to do with my Leo ;) However, I have some questions unsolved (for me):

Mine is a Voda Spain, has 1.42.0000, has an old ROM 1.49.164.2 with Radio 2.04.50.22_2 and, of course is SIM-locked :mad:

As far as I know, the best way to upgrade is:

a) install the HardSPL

b) install your favourite ROM

However, ¿should I unlock the PDA or the HardSPL does it too? If yes, ¿should I use SuperCID BEFORE or AFTER installing HardSPL?

I remember the 'Golden Years' when I unloked a Voda Trinity and, I used SuperCID but, this procedure is pretty new to me :eek:

Thanks a lot!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
HardSPL will not sim unlock your device but you dont need it sim unlocked to flash roms. If you need it sim unlocked to use different sim cards in it then you can do it easily through online sites.

HardSPL is all that is needed to flash custom or stock roms, no SuperCID available.

EDIT: Download *THIS* rom its your original spanish vodafone rom and you will need it if you ever need to put everything back to stock including the spl for warranty purposes.
