Have I bricked my HTC HD2

Hi im a noobie (from Old XDA 2I) with a HTC HD2 (Original T Mobile ROM) so after a few months I thought I would try a New/Upgrade ROM saying I had played around with the old XDA quite a bit. So I downloaded RUU_Leo_O2_UK_143.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.o7U_2.04.50.22_2.ship.exe ROM and also HardSPL_3 I successfully installed Hardspl_3 but when I try to Flash the O2 rom I get up to 80% and then have the error ERROR[302] : UPDATE ERROR

I have tried about 6 times to go through the recovery but I still get the same error

HELLLP PLEASE..:confused:

Huntersbane (P@ul)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
thats a really old rom, and its branded O2, , , you already have a branded rom, probably newer, so any particular reason you want the O2 bloatware? you know it wont unlock teh phone to use on o2, right?

when you ran hspl3 did you remember to change teh dropdown from 2.08.0000 to 2.08.hspl? if not run it again and do so.

in teh rom you posted, see the 1.43.206.4? thats rom version, 1.4 is about as old aas they come, if you really want an o2 rom, there is a 1.72, but id recommend you jump in to cooked roms, most of which are based on rom version 2.x

hi

i go thru your document for flashing your first gsm 512 leo rom. it is very good and help full

when i click download and flash your preferrend rom. it goes to 4shared account and prompting for credit card.

I like to know whether we need to pay for this. Please advice

i like to get seek a personl advice whether it is good time to change my phone os from wm 6.5 to andriod on htc hd2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The only link I see in the first post that goes to a 4Shared account is for the original shipped roms. Do you want to flash an original rom? Even so though therre is no need to enter any credit card details, I've also just accessed the link and I don't get prompted for any card details. If you want to flash a custom rom, then this forum is full of many wonderful "cooked" roms which are all 100% free of charge.

As for Android, it is a matter of personal preference. The beauty of the HD2 though is that you can have the best of both by running a dual boot and you can switch freely between the 2.

Strange!

I'm trying to flash the Stock WWE latest 3.14 from SD...

Followed the procedure to the letter, but each time i reset to bootloader to kickstart the upgrade process nothing happens, just bootloader screen

What could i be doing wrong ? Or, how could i get around this. I'm trying to have the latest stock rom with official SPL

Done this before no problems, so am a bit lost

Currently have reverted back to SPL 2.08 from HSPL

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Flashing from sd card doesn't always work on all cards. Make sure you format it as FAT32 and place the leoimg.nbh file on the root. Also try to use a small capacity card, ideally a 2 - 4 gig card. The larger ones don't always work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CompuNerd©:
I think you might just have hit the nail right on the head mate, as i've always flashed from my old 2Gig SanDisk and yet have just replaced this with a Kingston 4Gig SDHC

Will try it now and let ya know

Thanks very much :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CompuNerd©:
Thanks again, you were right!

Unfortunately, i'm now stuck on 'Loading...'

Another problem i haven't experienced before :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What spl version do you currently have? I see you say 2.08, but is that 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CompuNerd©:
Thanks AGAIN!! Forgot to revert to HSPL 2.08 :)

So, now just to get the WWE 3.14 on there, complete with the SPL 3.03 so there's no memory issues etc

What's the easiest way to do that ?

Am i right in thinking if i just do the standard flash it'll only overwrite the bootloader with 3.03 and i'll be stuck there yes ?

(HD2 originally on T-Mobile UK, but unlocked, been using old WWE ROM until now with HSPL 2.08)

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
My pleasure bud ;). I haven't tried this so can't be 100% certain, but if you just want the latest 3.14 rom you can always just flash the rom normally using hspl which them won't overwrite the spl version.

If you do flash from sd card then you will then be on the spl version without any working hspl currently, but again AFAIK you can always then reflash your original rom from sd card to revert to the original stock spl.

Edit: - Apparently you should be able to reflash your original rom via usb abd this should also revert to the original spl. Again, have not tried this so can't confirm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
nope. flash without hspl and the flash will simply fail saying not for your phone. however, if hspl IS installed and you flash from sd, then hspl WILL allow spl to upgrade and THEN run the checks which will fail because hspl was jjust removed, and so the flash will fail leaving "rom update error" as you suggested.

nope. only way to get 3.14 on branded hd2 is goldcard. use hspl and you will get 50meg free RAM plus unstable phone.

the bit about returning using your original stock at any time is correct. spl 3.03.0000 will downgrade simply by flashing over usb (so long as its correct stock rom and no hspl)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Thanks for correcting me Sam ;) learned something new today. I haven't been that active lately and missed the 3.14 initial wave.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CompuNerd©:
Thanks, that's exactly why i was trying to get the correct SPL 3.03 on there with 3.14

Please tell me, where's the cheapest place to get one of these goldcards ?

Need help LEO Flash to HTC HD2

I am in urgent need of help! Trying to flash LEO 3.14 from SD-Card.

This is what I had (working!) => (Background info)

==========================================================

Device - HTC HD2 Telstra T9193 (on US AT&T)

SPL - HSPL3 with SPL2.08 HSPL

ROM - LEO 5 HTC WWE,

OS - 5.2.21913, Build 21913.5.0.94,

Manila - 2.5.20181527.0,

ROM - 3.14.405.2, (O4666) Sept 29, 2010

Radio - 2.15.50.14

SanDisk 8GB Micro SD Card

I did this install using ActiveSync and installed Hard-SPL3: SPL2.08 HSPL

first after getting my new T9193. This worked and then I went onto

using LEO 3.14 by running RUU on

LEO_5_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

ROM - which worked and updated to "3.14.405.2"

Everything was working fine. Some issues with SD card (from older

HTC Hermes 100), and also found the T8585 id problem mentioned elsewhere

in the T9193 threads. Solution for T8585 id issue recommend ROM install

from SD card. I had never done this - so I decided to try it.

Backed up everything with SPB Backup and also PIMBackup - saved to PC.

Reformatted my 8GB card in WinXP as FAT32- fine.

Bought new 2GB card - and formatted from XP as FAT32 - fine.

Extracted RUU_signed.nbh using WINRAR from my LEO ROM (above).

Copied and renamed to LEOIMG.nbh on SD-Card using XP - fine.

=========================================================

My problem with LEO ROM install from new 2GB SD-Card =>

Rebooted HD2 and pressed Volume Down and Power On

started but ended up saying "not allow 00028002" - went in color boot screen........

HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

:(

Took out battery, removed SD-Card and rebooted

- still the same message as above :(

Took out SD-Card and put it into SanDisk CardReader

- noticed the following file appeared in the root of the SD-Card

EncFiltLog.Menc along with my LEOIMG.nbh file.

Renamed LEOIMG.nbh to lowercase leoimg.nbh and retired

- but this didn't help :(

Any help from an Expert would be much appreciated!! .........

Thanks in advance R / - John
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CompuNerd©:
The 'not allow' error code is because you have successfully flashed the v3.03 SPL on there which, upon reboot is detecting the 'WRONG' ROM (LEOIMG.nbh), so won't let you flash

If you try again using the ORIGINAL ROM, it will work, and also get your phone back to a 'WORKABLE' state ;)

As said above though, you can only get 3.14 on there with GoldCard if the ROM isn't meant for your handset

PS: You CAN get the 3.14 ROM on there but only by using HSPL 2.08 or other, or you could flash using SSPL, but either of these methods will cause you problems because the 3.14 ROM needs the correct v3.03 bootloader
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrchester:
ok - cool. I will try your suggestions and post back here what I find out.

I appreciate your help and advice.

Thank goodness for XDA members like you!

BTW, the goldcard thread is HERE
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
I don't HDSPL is the cause of this. Have you recently installed drivers of any sort or an app that is possible the culprit?

Any who, just return to 1.48 for now for test purposes and then go back to the same cooked rom via SSPL method and see whether it was the HDSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HSKalay:
That's true also...well i've only installed 1.48 stock, and then the 5 or so patches which were on the HTC support site.

I'm going to keep Miri's cooked room for now I reckon, seems to be workin fine.

Cheers for your advice though! very helpful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
Glad to have helped...;) Before all this, a quick test is to do a HARD RESET and see if the problem goes away.

If the problem does go away, then it was an APP or Drivers that caused the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HSKalay:
Much appreciated once again, i'll experiment tomorrow and try that also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TonyJ999:
I'm not sure if it affects anything but I made sure that when I re-named the file LEOIMG.nbh I made sure the first part of the file name was in UPPER CASE as in the instructions.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harky:
To return to original stock for warrently

NOTE: The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- 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 was abit dont understand above, isit i just copy ship rom of RUU_signed.nbh and rename to leoimg.nbh , copy and paste leoimg.nbh to SD card, Reset the device while pressing the volume down button and it will auto detect it and flash it??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BarrySumpter:
"To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset."

Should be:

Now check your SPL version by turning off your phone, press volume down and the power button for few seconds until you'll see the multi-coloured screen displaying the SPL version. You have to pull the battery to reset again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You need to extract the nbh file from within the stock roms exe file, rename it to leoimg.nbh then copy to your storage card and flash via stoarge card method.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TonyJ999:
Just out of interest does the first part of the file name (LEOIMG) have to be in upper case as in your front page or is it not sensitive to things like that???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TonyJ999:
Yes that is correct...

It doesnt matter at all if its lower or upper case I just put it like that so the characters dont get missread.

HELP!!!

i seemed to have really screwed myself, bigtime. i successfully installed the hspl, but when i tried to flash RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship using the sd method, i get a not allowed 002002 error and the spl appears to be stock not the hspl i previously installed. did i just brick the phone???? anybody got a swedish rom i could try to flash? the phone was bought in sweden but i only speak a little swedish so i needed to change to an english rom. would that work or is it dead?

please tell me i can fix this!

this phone was expensive.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harky:
this is what i feel, if i want to flash a rom i will use Flashing Via ActiveSync method as to me i feel more safe.

Unless i want to return stock than i will use sd method

pls dont not do anything if u say u r now have stock rom...

wait for other pro to help u

or more official rom can be found here

http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-leo-rom.html
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harky:
thanks .. i had successful return stock
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdbpogo:
tried some others and got the same error. i hope the swedish rom should work and i just found one. when i used the sd method did it take away the hspl? will try the swedish rom and pray it works. if it does i'll reinstall hspl and use activesync to flash an english rom. god i hope it works. does this sound about right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harky:
this is what i think ,

i think using sd method will return stock (mean remove HSPL) i just try and it remove hspl and return stock.

so usually when i flash a custom rom, i will not use sd method.

as what other say as long hspl is inside u will be safe.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If the swedish rom doesnt flash then try the goldcard method to put a wwe stock rom on your device and then flash HardSPL once its back and running. As long as you can still access the bootloader then you should be able to recover your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomasz:
Possible addition to TUT/FAQ

I'm seeing more and more posts from users who are experiencing sudden hard resets when soft resetting devices that have HSPL and a custom ROM.

I too encountered this issue and from the TytnII flashing days, I remembered that flashing a stock ROM first solved exactly these kind of issues.

When I encountered hard resets after flashing XannyTech's Evolution RC1 over Miri's 1.2 and still had these issues after a reflash, I decided to try flashing stock 1.48WWE before flashing XannyTech's ROM. Result: no more hard-resets and a phone that feels faster (no benchmarks though).

Might be worth adding to the faq..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdbpogo:
The swedish rom worked!!!!!!! thanks for the help. gonna flash hspl again then an english rom on activesync.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Good job just be careful in future and remember if you flash a stock rom via microSD card it will take off your HardSPL. If you want to flash a stock rom then extract the nbh from the exe file and flash via activesync.

How do I actually figure out what my "original ROM" actually is?

From the T9193 XDA thread =>

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633404

" Official ROMs from HTC are available here; click the 'shared folder' link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577717 "

"Can I download the original Telstra ROM?

The original stock ROM from Telstra (with all Telstra bloatware/customizations) is available here:

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1474 "

So I went and grabbed the original Telstra ROM - which was the LEO 1.49 ROM

that I tried with the above error message.

===================================================

I can just try to hack away at the set of ROMs on htcpedia.com

but that isn't too fun!

What do you recommend I try. I could start the Goldcard process I guess,

but was hoping to get at least a working "original" ROM first. Of course, I

will migrate to LEO 3.15 or above later, but want my phone to least work for

now.

Need some more pointers.....

Thanks again in advance! Boy this is a learning experience! :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi John,

I think maybe you havent found the right original ROM.

To flash the non original ROM, You can try a goldcard as suggested in the Goldcard thread or if you are in urgency to use your phone,

You can try SSPL method

Check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606713

With SSPL, you can flash any rom. or you can try to flash ARTEMIS rom

Hope it can solve you problem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrchester:
Thanks - before I go any further however -

the thread for SSPL you referenced clearly mentions (a bunch of times) that you

need to be running WM OS on your phone before trying the SSPL method.

This of course is impossible for me right now - since it only goes into Bootloader Mode when I'm trying to flash from my Micro-SD card.

So this is my problem - are you sure that SSPL will work without an operating WM

phone first? If my phone was operating, I could use the latest HSPL 3.03 - which I originally used with my phone to get HSPL 2.08 on it and then I was able to load up LEO 3.14 - no problems - other than the ID tag marking my T9193 phone as a T8585 -

hence my attempt an resolving this my trying to Flash from my SD-Card.

Also one more question - what is the difference between SSPL and the DFT_SSPL

that is referenced in XDA?

I am looking to fix my phone and get it WORKING with the ORIGINAL ROM - but how

does one go about "finding" their ORIGINAL ROM?? The XDA thread (that I mentioned

in earlier threads) led me into the LEO 1.49 ROM attempt - which didn't work as I

documented.

I have also tried the 3.14 ROM and also more recently I tired LEO 1.66 CRC Signed.

None of these work - and all give me various errors as I've indicated.

I am discovering that upgrading a ROM from an SD card is not an easy process that's for sure! The HSPL process (with an original working phone and ActiveSync) is easy compared to this process of trying to upgrade the ROM from an SD card when the phone isn't working. ouch!!.... Also the threads are not entirely clear in many areas but I've read enough to know that SSPL (according to the XDA authors) requires a working WM phone. If this is true, then SSPL won't help me at all.

Also the Goldcard method does not appear to be straightforward. I followed the XDA thread but they don't mention enough detail for me to get past a simple form entry from the Goldcard site when they asked for a "Software Version" (their asterisk said to go the Main About Screen) - this implies a working phone and I don't have clue about what "version" they are referencing. I even registered and searched their forums for that info. Since it wasn't obvious I stopped. I could try the free Goldcard download method - but that involves someone else's help for me to request that they build an image for my Goldcard.

I appreciate your advice (or anyone else's) to help me get my phone working again.

Thanks R / - John
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrchester:
ok i tried it (without a working WM OS phone :().

First all I couldn't even get the bootloader to come up at all without

having my MicroSD storage card in my phone. (A big Delta sign appears

without my MicroSD card in my phone). After I put my SD-Card in my phone - brought up boot-loader (power, volume down) and then started SSPL_RUU.exe with extracted RUU_Signed.nbh file (from my LEO 3.14 ROM file). These were only 2 files in the directory (per the thread instructions) -

except of course I didn't have working WM OS phone.

Anyway, I started up the SSPL_RUU utility and I got the utility to find the "upgrade to 3.14" button - but it couldn't read any data from my phone (USB cord plugged in fine, etc.) It did change my HD2 bootloader screen - so it must have been communicating o.k. It went into "HTC mode" saying updating....1%..." and then the screen went black and then came back with the 3 color mode - with the following on my bootload screen =>

=================================

HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

==================================

The SSPL_RUU utility itself came back with the following error =>

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID

This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your

Update Utility.

{in the lower right part of the error screen it says "TMV3-N-HUEbc568-PC:455670)

I repeated this using the .nbh file as RUU_Signed.nbh and also as LEOIMG.nbh -

both with exactly the same results. :( :( :(

Any insights????

Thanks in advance R / - John :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] @n0nym0u$:
You were right first time, sspl requires a running phone.

Does your bootloader still say 1.42.0000 by spl? if so, then you have no problem. hspl2 will work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrchester:
Yes it does!! When I do a "Hard" Reset (without MicroSD card) - by pressing Power button and both Volume buttons at the same it - it brings up the HTC screen saying it is going to to a hard reset (wiping data, etc.) - Press Volume Up to continue -

I do this and it comes back with the Tri-Color screen but the screen says what I posted above:

=================================

HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

==================================

Should I just try HSPL2? Should I try LEO 1.49 or 3.14 with it? (I liked LEO 3.14 pretty well -

actually it was awesome!)

Also what is the procedure for HSPL without a working WM OS - the same???

Should I just extract HSPL_RUU.exe and the ROM (LEO 3.14 maybe) into the same

directory and try it again???

I'm hoping this is what you're saying - will standby......

Thanks!!.... John :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
John,

Your SPL is 1.42.000. But I have no idea how can it be.

Last time you said SPL 3.03 and now SPL 1.42.

Maybe it is because you tried SSPL.

You are correct that SSPL should be used from Winmo.

However, it seem that SSPL that you tried, cause your SPL change to SPL 1.42. From my experience, SSPL will change the SPL to SPL 1.42.000 for temporary (one cycle).

In this case, re try to flash using Micro SD card.

dont forget the battery capacity and remove your sim card.

I have no other idea..
