I have tried that along with pressing vol up, vol up and down together.still no luck...i am beginning to think this is a defective handset...just surprised that there is no reset like on an ipod for when it is locked up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
The TMobile Rom Flashes a different SPL that wont allow flashing HardSPL. If you go into your bootloader and the spl isnt 1.42 then the only way you can downgrade to the correct spl for flashing is to do it via gold card. I dont think the goldcard server is working anymore as the thread is *HERE* and its not going to the correct link. You might be stuck with your 2.02 rom until HardSPL 2 is available. Or you can flash a custom rom with SSPL but thats a bit more dangerous.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
There is a Hard Reset (with the unit switched off press vol up and vol down buttons together then breifly press the power button and follow the onscreen instructions) but this wont do any good if the rom you flashed is defective or didnt flash properly.

If you flashed HardSPL before you flashed the Rom but you cannot get into the bootloader screen then you might want to try reading up on the MTTY thread and see if that offers any help.

getting a tad nervous. I should be pikcing my T Mob (UK) phone up next weekend. IN the last few post a couple of people have been talking about had T Mob phone with SPL 2.xxx - Are they having this on T Mob (USA) or T Mob (UK)?

I've downloaded everything and have prepared to purchase a phone at SPL 1.42. I guess when I do to the shop to pick it up i'll ask the assistant for a demo of the phone. When he / she isn't looking i'll go it into Boot Loader (vol down + power key) and check the SPL. (without the assistant looking! :rolleyes:) I just hope T-Mob (UK) haven't started to sell phones with SPL 2.xxx as i think I am right in saying that the Gold Card method is no longer available and HSPL 2 doesn't seem to be on the horizon. FINGERS CROSSED FOLKS!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I really have no idea whether Tmobile UK have SPL2.02 or not but like you said you can check easily by going into the bootloader. I wouldnt however advise doing this in the shop without the salespersons knowledge as the only way to get out of the bootloader is to remove the back cover and remove the battery or press the reset button.

If you ask the assistant im sure they will help you check the spl version or you can even just look at the sense tabs and see if the document viewer tab is present, as that tab is only present on TMOB 2.02 versions of sense and would therefore indicate a 2.02 rom. If thats the case and you really want to flash then your only option right now is using SSPL as you are correct that GoldCarding is no longer an option.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Ah I didnt know that thanks :)

Kind of like what you said, but couldnt he use sspl to flash a stock rom, and then he will have stock spl, and so can THEN flash HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
No because the only way to flash a stock spl is via microsd card and for that you need to have HardSPL already flashed on your phone. SSPL can only be used to flash a rom via activesync and will not flash radios or spl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M0J0 78:
Hey mskip. So let me get this right. If check the phone in the shop and it has the document tab then its the new SPL 2.xxx If the document tab isn't there then its defo SPL 1.42?

Also, if it is SPL 2.xxx is there anyone here that has this on T Mob (UK) and if so what are your thoughts. Is is stable / reliable / quick or still ****e like all other T Mob (UK) ROMs on any phone before it :confused:

Oh ok fair enough about the spl not being flashed with sspl. But just as a side note, you can flash stock roms via active sync. I did it in one of my videos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Yes you can flash stock roms fine via activesync just like any other rom it just wont change the spl back to stock :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I cant say for certain since I have never flashed a stock TMOB rom but the TMobile roms are the only ones to have the documents tab added so I can only assume that if that is present then the rom must be the 2.02. This means the spl is most likely the newer 2.02 version aswell.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M0J0 78:
a couple of quick questions

1) With WM7 on the horizon...ish do we know if we will be able to upgrade the HD2 to this new platform when its released?

2) Do all these stock / custom ROMs include Mobile Mffice? One reason i'm looking at this phone is the ability to receive, clearly read and manipulate Word / Excel documents as this will be critical to my work. If not is Mobile Office easy enough to download as a cab file from somewhere (for free [needless to say!])?

Once again, thanks for any responses.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
I fear my problem is more severe than that. The unit is completely dead...even if i plug it into the charger i do not get an orange dot to show it is charging.

When i loaded the new rom, it said it was a success and even got as far as the orange windows screen before i pulled the battery.

Prior to installing the new rom i had loaded duttys rom a week or so earlier and preceeded that with the HSPL. I only changed the rom as the phone kept crashing or locking or just switching off, so i suppose it could have been a defect in the phone prior to the new rom.

Is there any way to put a charge over some of the terminals and blow out the data that would show HTC it had a HSPL on it?

Thanks for your advice :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I really dont think think there is anything you could do to hide the prescence of HardSPL if you sent it back and htc managed to get it working. I suppose yo ucould try zapping it in a microwave for a few seconds lol. Im really NOT sugesting you try that by the way :p

Have you checked the battery and connections to the phone to make sure its making proper contact. I really dont know what else to sugest.. sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Office mobile is freely available on xda in the HD2 forum all you need to do is search for it :)

Theres no definite answer whether the HD2 will be upgadable to windows 7 but it has the best chance of all the winmo phones available right now.

Bricked - It seems my phone has bricked

I flashed it and everything was fine. I then tried the new stock rom from HTC and then when I turned it on it says in pink background STICK TOGETHER - Test only not for sale. I tried bootloader and it says I dont have SPL 1,42,0000::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
What DOES the bootloader say, something like 1.42.000 hspl ? something along those lines?

I have a problem here.. i followed the procidure u have for the HSPL. My phones normal SPL 1.42.0000 XE. when i tryed to flass with HSPL, a messege on mobile popped saing "not allow".. But the flassing continued, saw the messege that my mobile is hacked etc. And therefore istalation saccesfully completed. But when i check the HSPL version now, is still 1.42.0000 XE..:confused: And when i tried to flash RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship using the CustomRUU without success. again i see the messge in a gray screen on mobile, saying, "not allowed" and isntaler on pc says "This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.":confused:

Can anyone help me please?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pastypacker:
I cant thank you enough, ive sent 2 hd2's back to vf, what a waste of money on vf's side, nothing wrong with the hardware at all, ive just bitten the bullet and stuck 1.66 on

SO THIS IS HOW HTC INTENDED THE PHONE TO WORK​

I cant believe the difference, video playback on youtube etc is now superb, it used to be total crap.

Now gonna start putting my apps and bits back on.

Just one question though, are all the hotfixes incorperated in the rom? ie, camera, sms etc?

Cheers and thank you

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jbh99blue:
That's a good question and something I'd also like to know......:confused:

Are they included in 1.66?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Such a vague question haha :rolleyes:

It would help ALOT if you said what you had done and what rom you had on your device.

More info please :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I think that most of the hotfixes are included on 1.61 and later but you will have to check on the htc site as each hotfix will state what rom versions you need to apply it on.

If you are flash a custom rom then all the hotfixes are usually cooked in already :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pastypacker:
Sorry,

Just updated from 1.43 to 1.66.

All seems pretty damned good, just noticed something looked different and couldnt put my finger on it, its just the speaker icon is missing between the battery indicator and signal strength meter.

Not that its gonna really affect anything apart from not being able to tell if the phone is muted.

sorry for being vague in the first post

Graphical FAQ for HSPL

Graphical Questions & Answers for HSPL & flashing ROM: updated 4th Feb 2010 !

As a (two months old) newbie, I just made a little graphic FAQ, to better understand the existing tutorial threads about HSPL and flashing Cooked ROMs. I believe it can very rapidly answer some newbie questions. It's not fully complete, since I'm not an expert. The information I'm not absolutely sure appear in blue with question marks.

Part 1: Mini-Glossary

In this thread

Part 2: Should I flash another ROM?

Part 3: What does HSPL enable?

Part 4: What you should consider before installing HSPL

The rest is in this thread

Could some of you help me complete it? I made a specific thread for it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625919), but I think it could easily fit in this one, What do you think mskip?

Thanks! Well, pretty much everything written in blue, I'm not absolutely certain it's true. If I were to ask questions, it would go like this:

- Flashing any 2.01 TMOUS custom ROM using ActiveSync will not change the SPL to 2.00: YES/NO ?

- Once you have SPL 2.00 you can no more flash custom ROMs: YES/NO?

- Any solution to reinstall HSPL on SPL 2.00 phones for newbies (like in "without Goldcard procedure") ?

- Anybody tried and succeed to SIM-unlock their HD2 using http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com/unlocking-htc-hd2.html: YES/NO?

That would definitely rocks! Thanks !!!

Successfullyflashed 1.66 ROM with 2.00 SPL...

A very crooked method but it worked. I was reading a thread on modaco.com that had a cooked rom "RUU_Leo_l3v5y_10010201_F_WWE_5.2.28205.5.3.3_2.02" When I tried to flash this via Active Synch I got the bootloader to show up as 1.42 SPL - It is not clear to me how this version forces the phone to think it has an 1.42 SPL. After this stage I unplugged the USB and left the phone in the state to with 1.42 SPL and then after killing the RUU for the cooked rom above.I ran the 1.66 HTC rom and it flashed on the phone. Phew got rid of the 2.02 ROm finally. Post the flash and upon reeboot the SPl still shows 2.00.1000 with 1.66 ROM. I have been running this for 3 days with no issues. I was able to flash to 1.61 of ROm as well. I am not able to do the SD Card method though - tried to force the SPL 1.42. In all I am happy to get my phone working w/out watermark.

I am still stumped by the fact that the custom ROM pushed 1.42 (or atleast got to fake it till hard reboot)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chrisukhd2:
I updated my O2 HD2 to the 1.48 ROM using HSPL, but when upgrading to 1.66 ROM I didn't get the initial training set up screens and oddly when I shut down the Phone the " How to use on screen keyboard " tutorial briefly flashes up before the phone switch off.

Anyone know why this is and if there is anyone to stop this ?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Try flipping the phone into aeroplane mode, and you should find the wizard pops to teh foreground and you can complete it, and never see it again.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Only flashing via microSD Card will change the SPL back to stock regardless of which rom you flash.

Flashing any v2 Rom via microSD card will change the SPL to 2 and stop you from being able to flash HardSPL back. Your only course of action to flash a custom rom would be to flash via SSPL which doesnt give you the same protection but does allow you to flash custom roms (but not stock roms or radios)

I think goldcarding can still be done by the same people but its not free anymore. Until a HardSPL v2 is released which I dont know if there are even plans to do it, theres no possibility to put HardSPL back on with SPL 2.

Yes people have used that site to sim unlock their devices and received codes quite quickly. No free way to sim unlock at the moment though.

Done :)

Noob ****ed up bad

Hello

I hope there is some here who could help me out.

I decided that I wanted to upgrade my HD2 with Artemis 2.91b sve rom, but I couldn´t get the installation going. I guessed that it was because I Uppgraded with an official Rom last weekend - and therefor changed the sspl. So I wanted to downgrade to an older rom. I put the LEOIMG.nbh from RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe - that I used winrar to extract the RUU_signed.nbh

I then put the sd-card in the phone and hold down the VOLDOWN-button and reseted the phone, it started upgrading, but somewhere it stoped and I now get a errorcode " -Upgrade ROM code error Please try again" and when i try again the bootloader starts "loading" but says "002802" and "not allowed" and then go back to the tri-coulered screen. It says, apart from ...try again.

RUUNBH

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

Is there something I can do to save the phone ( I Guess the warrenty is out )

Best Regards Fredrik

Pweh - OMG, don´t ask me how I did it - but I solved the problem. I started the upgrade via the computer, the Artemis 2.91b sve - and it started upgrading, to 3% then stoped because broken image or something like that. Then I Tried the official 1.66 rom - and it worked, I can´t understand why, but it did. I guess I won´t try this for a while, didn´t like this experience at all.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you install HardSPL then you will be safeguarded against screwing up your phone by doing this sort of thing.

Dont ever flash an official rom via microsd card unless you want to revert everything back to stock condition for warranty purposes as it will overwrite your rom, radio and spl.

Just be careful in future and flash safely :)

Sorry I am sure this has been asked so many times you are getting fed-up but please bear with me. Not even got my phone yet [it will be unlocked but I will be on the Voda network].

I will check the rom and then would like to flash to the latest rom

Now if I have any problem I understand I will need to flash back to the shipped rom from the SD.

My question is - will vodaphone have a "custom" shipped Rom to identify anyone messing about or will it just be the stock 1.48 rom from the HTC site [might help if I knew how to check Rom version!],

If it will be a special Voda one how can I back this up or get it from please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I got my vodafone HD2 before christmas and it came with a bog standard stock 1.43 rom so I very much doubt yours will have any customization on it. If you did ever need to send it back for warranty purposes (providing you can still turn the phone on) you should be fine flashing the correct stock rom thats freely availble to downlong on here.

You can check your rom version by sliding the sense tab across to the settings tab, then going down to 'about phone' and selecting 'software information'. The rom and radio versions among other things are listed which you should write down for future reference.

Hi, I'm new to the HD2 and ROMs. I too got one just before Xmas, and to be fair its been a pile of ****. Mines a Voda and Rom 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE and Radio 2.04.50.22_2

Is this a special Voda ROM?

I want to install the WWE 1.66.405 Official ROM. Using this forum I managed to download it, using a non-Voda serial num.

What I want to do is to install this ROM (hoping my reception and SMS will then be better) but as Voda wont support it, I need to be able to return it back to 1.43 if I need service etc.

Can anyone advise what I need to do to both upgrade to 1.66 and be able to regress to 1.43 if needed?

Thanks:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
.... Really?

READ THE POST ABOVE YOU!!!!!! @_@

YOUR ROM IS A NORMAL STOCK ROM MSKIP SAID THAT ON THE POST ABOVE YOURS

AND IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FLASH ROMS, READ THIS THREAD, THATS WHAT ITS ABOUT!!!

(Also, something you may not have known, installing a newer rom wont improve reception, you need to install a new radio for that WHICH IS ALSO SAID AT THE START OF THIS THREAD!!!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
The stock 1.43 rom that comes on the vodafone contains the 2.04 radio which is pretty bad and didnt give me a signal in my own living room. The stock 1.66 rom includes the 2.06.51.07 radio which is alot better (for me anyway) and should give a decent signal and battery life so it is worth updating your rom and radio.

To flash a stock rom and radio you will need to HardSPL first, then extract the nbh file from the 1.66 stock rom and flash it via activesync using the customruu file.

If you need to flash back to send your phone back then you can use the stock 1.43 rom and flash via microsd card. Full instructions can be found in the first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HTCHD2_2010:
Thanx for this great ROM update flow chart that you gathered from various threads

all into one.

This will help many FOB (Fresh off the Boat HTC HD2) people and no doubt

prove to many people that despite WinMobile is not too stable or perceived as

too much hard work for the ordinary Joe. It is not once you follow the chart here.

Something I believe Iphone users always try to point out.

I tried to give WinMobile away after analysing much of feedback from forum

and last week bought myself a Black 32G 3Gs Iphone. I played around with it for one

night and immediately sold back on ebay for $760 then immediately bought

HD2 unlocked a Telstra Aussie version.

I like to say that eventhough i am a software developer who has been using a very

old Xda Atom since 2006 with various work arounds, still need to have a quick

read of this chart.

I successfully installed HSPL then install the _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

ROM.

So far it seems great.

Good luck to all and don't be afraid to try.

Again my appreciation to all the Xda developers who helped to make this work

for us all!

It seems that the new stock ROM (1.66...WWE) is country-locked, at least from my Polish perspective. Anything I can do to flash it? The SD-card method? Or it is not possible without patches to the said ROM? No Eastern Europe v. is planned, apparently... Thx for answers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You need to install HardSPL first, then you can flash it via activesync. If you flash a stock rom via microsd card then you will delete the HardSPL and could find yourself in trouble in the future so I would advise against that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
Once you've got HSPL you don't need to extract anything. Just run the RRU .exe file the ROM came as in the first place and it'll run so long as you've got ActiveSync/WMDC installed...works everytime for me (although my HD2 wasn't locked to VF in the first place)
