ya i MTTY and hard reset... i have finally found a new rom that is stable... The sd card thing is still a problem if I ever wanted to remove HSPL though.... cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jubranz:
I uninstalled HSPL and now I've got this:

PB1100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000	XE

MicroP(LED)	0x05

MicroP(TOUCH)	0x30

is this mean that my device back to original lock?

is it ready to send it to maintenance?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Yes the stock SPL is back on and you can send it back for warranty purposes.

If you mean the sim lock then no it wont. You need to get an unlock code from either your network or from a paid for website which can provide it.

Can't access LeoCustomRUU.exe file

HI all

I'm having an usual problem, my anti-virus is treating the CustomRUU file as a trojan and will not allow access. And when I shut down my anti-virus windows(XP) denies access.

I have put the file as a exception in the anti-virus... didn't help.

Also windows gives an error that I don't have permission to access the file. :rolleyes:

I know I can always flash via SD card, but I have read its better (don't know why exactly... if the devs recommend I follow :) )

So your help will very much appreciated :D

Why
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Have you tried downlaoding it again with your AV turned off? Sometimes the AV kills components within the download. I see other users have also complained about the file possibly being corrupted.

As far as flashing from pc rather than sd card this is only recommended so that you don't by accident flash the wrong stock rom from sd which would remove spl and if you load the wrong one there is currently no way back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] why_999:
Cheers mate... will give it another try :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pjmurphy77:
I tried searching for a solution but no luck.. I have played around with some ROMs and HSPL but I am going to sell my HD2. I want to get it back to the original state (or at least the original ROM). There is a thread at the top of this forum with links to Official builds but they don't seem to be (one had tmobile branding).

I bought this unbranded - any ideas where I cna find that original ROM?

thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I think I read somewhere where it was said that you can try the TMobile website for the rom (may have been O2 though ;))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
If it was unbranded then a stock ROM from HTCs website will do
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pjmurphy77:
for the life of me , I cannot find where on their site you would download this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You can flash any of the Roms in the Shipped Roms folder *HERE* (or from the htc rom upgrade page *HERE*) if its unbranded and still retain the warranty.

If you are selling it on then I would advise just flashing the shipped 1.66 ehich is the latest official rom upgrade.

I am trying to update my ROM(Duttys ROM), but when using the ROM updater, it puts my phone into bootloader, and then after about a minute on the PC it says there is a connection error so it exits. I have updated ROMS many times and never had this problem... What could be wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] verx123:
Hello,im pretty new to this.May i know if a shipped ROM is an official HTC ROM and what's the difference between the shipped ROM and the cooked ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Yes a shipped rom is an official rom.

Please read the faq before asking questions as your other question was answered in there:

Q: How do Stock ROMS differ from Cooked ROMS?

A: Stock Roms usually have extra 'bloatware' added which take up extra space on the phone. Custom Roms are stripped down to provide more space and most are tweaked to provide a faster more stable Operating System. Every chef is different so you have to look around the forums to see which Rom is best for your needs.

Suggestion:

Hi mskip,

For members who have SPL higher then the required 1.42 for Hard SPL, is downgrading SPL's a simple and straight forward task? I've seen a lot of chatter here about the possibility but nothing concrete.

If downgrading via flashing a stock rom (SD Card Method) is the simple solution then let's put something in your 1st post stating this clearly.

If there is still no solution then, "oh well!"

Just a thought...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
It really depends on alot of different factors and im not sure of all of them, whether you you upgarded the official way, whether you had HardSPL and then flashed one of the latest TMOB roms, whether you have access to the now dead GoldCard method.

It really needs alot of research done and its own thread. If I can pull things together I will write up a thread sometime in the near future.

hi guys...have just installed original orange france rom back on to phone...put leoimg.nbh on to sd card, powered up, completed install successfully, pressed reset button and power button.

Phone has come back up fine, has orange france rom on it and working fine.

Powered phone off and powered up into tri clour screen to check...The HSPL is still there !

it says

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

CotullaHSPL 0x30

followed all instructions correctly...but have not got rid of the HSPL....any ideas please!

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Can you send a link to the Orange Rom that you flashed it looks like it does not contain a stock SPL.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
Hi Mark

This is the rom link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BC4FGYH4

I found it here on XDA, the member who posted it said he had tested it and sure enough it seems to work, just does not look like it has changed the HSPL.

Is there any other way of getting the old spl back on? The whole point of this exercise is to get the phone back into a format that Orange wont object to. Would it work if i used one of the shipped roms to get the SPL back on for sure, and then put on the French Orange rom, so that all looks original.

Question is will the orange rom go on over the shipped rom, and what shipped rom to use?

Thanks

Sean
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I will have a look at the Rom you provided once I have downloaded it to see if it contains an SPL.

You can put a stock rom on to flash back the stock spl but then you might not be able to put the orange rom over the top of it as the Carrier ID will be different. If you flashed a stock 1.43 or 1.48 rom then at least you would still be able to put HardSPL back on if it didnt work.

Do you know the exact version of your original rom?

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edamduke:
Now that the new vf ROM has finally been released, I am considering reflashing from the 1.66WWE ROM to it. So far I have been quite unimpressed with 1.66 and am hoping the official vf one will be a little more suited to my vf handset.

My main concern is removing the HSPL using the stock ROM on the SD card. Does this process carry much risk of bricking the phone as I know without the HSPL you have less comeback?

Would it be best to put on 1.43 and then upgrade using the official route or just to put the 1.66 vf ROM on straight away?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Why do you feel the need to uninstall HardSPL?

You can quite safely flash the vodafone rom via activesync and leave the HardSPL intact. If you flash a stock rom via microsd card there will always be a slight risk that the flash doesnt go through and you brick your phone.

Leave HardSPL on your phone unless you absolutely have to take it off to send your phone back.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edamduke:
Sounds like good advice. I'll give it ago.

Do you expect there to be any difference between 1.66 WWE and vf ROM? The 2 biggest issues I have over my old stock 1.43 is that Opera seems to have changed (stopping me from zooming and auto-fitting the page) and I cannot use catchup TV via Skyfire anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I very much doubt it but give it a go and see how you get on. As long as you keep HardSPL then you can easily flash another rom if you dont like it.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
Nope ....no idea about what it had on it originally, but as i got them in early december, and there were no other updates available, i have to figure that it was the very first version.

I am worried about exactly what you say...will a shipped rom stop the orange rom from going on?.....That said, i do not see how orange or htc for that matter can object to me installing an official rom...ok i can see their semi-valid complaint about a cooked rom, but if it is one they themselves have created, then how can they object to it, i have bought the phone after all and am not renting it!:)

Which of the shipped roms is best if i go that route? Or..do i try an early shipped version to get the spl on and then just try and load the orange rom over the top ...then if it does not work, i have nothing to loose in installing the latest shipped rom.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I dont think that orange rom is a stock rom. For starters its been packed with an SSPL which is how you flash cooked roms. Also when you put it on your microsd card and go into the bootloader you can see a list of what is going to be flashed, and the orange rom doesnt include a radio or any of the other packages a stock rom usually comes with.

If I was you I would go onto the HTC French site and download the 1.43 rom which is at the bottom of the HD2 support page. You can try putting your serial number in and see if thats accepted to download the rom, or look on here for a french HD2 serial number so you can download and flash it.

'm going mad!

please can anyone help me. I've flashed my UK T-Mobile phone with HSPL and I can flash the offical roms.

But cooked ones. it goes all the way through the process, looks like its worked. the phone resets but then gets stuck!

what am i missing?

thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
Sorry but not enough info to assist you. Please let us know what you flashed (i.e. radio, rom, etc.)

There is a good chance you are using a rom with an incompatible radio. Thus, you are stuck at the white HTC screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abdo202:
Thanks alot..

u really helped me specially in the hard reset information..

my HD2 froze and the HTC Sense didn't work i was going to flash a new rom when i read ur thread,

i did a hard reset and it worked :-):D

even though i lost my programs and contacts:mad: but i'm happy i didn't lose my phone..

Thaaaaaaaanks:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
:)Thanks for the forensics on that Rom...Explains a lot...That said, it hasn't switched itself off since i put the french orange rom on, so maybe fingers so crossed, in this instance it was the rom!..Still need to find a solution to getting the HSPL off though, just in case it is a dodgy phone like the last one. If the phone stays up and does not start switching off again, i will stick on the latest duttys rom and keep fingers crossed again.

Tried using my serial on the French HTC site ( also tried UK and Europe) but no luck. Have searched everywhere i can think of and cannot find a french serial.....Any other ideas?:)

I must say this really does not show HTC in a great light. We spend a lot on their phones, buck the trend to buy their products, and they make support this difficult. if it were not for the developers on XDA i would never even consider buying another HTC phone, and sadly would go for an iphone that though limited, just works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Which custom ROM are you trying to flash? Some of the newer roms require a specific radio to work or they will get stuck so it may not be anything you are doing wrong.

Just to test it try the rom I'm using in my signature which has a radio included. If that doesn't work then try flashing the custom rom using the microsd card method.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
I know a member who posted a load of serial numbers i will try and find the post and put them in the faqs for anyone who needs them. Duttys rom is great and should suit you fine.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
Thanks Mark.....So far phone has still not switched itself off, so looking good. If it stays up for 48 hours then i am just going for the duttys you have on your phone...By the way, does it include the radio or does that need to be loaded separately.

Also i was really surprised to see that the battery is really lasting well with this French rom...Ok i do not understand anything on the phone so did not set up e mail, but the weather and stocks are still updating, also only had about 3 calls on it, but still very low battery usage. On my other phone i am lucky to get 1 day let alone 1 day and 70% battery.

Hope you find those serials

Thanks again

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edamduke:
Thanks for the advice, I flashed the official vf 1.66 ROM whilst leaving on HSPL and now all is good again. Opera and TVcatchup are working again and the phone doesn't seem to crash as much. Not sure what was wrong with that 1.66 WWE I was using from the shared folders but won't be using it again.

Hi Everyone.

This is my first post on XDA!!!

Hi Mark.

Sorry for the nooby question:

I'm in Italy and I have bought a HD2 from UK (SIM-free...unlocked).

I want to install the Stock Italian ROM.

I have downloaded the file of the Stock Italian ROM from HTCpedia, this is the file name: RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.66.408.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe

So, can I simply connect the HD2 to PC via USB and execute the file?

Or I have to install the HSPL?

I don't care about installing other cooked ROM so I excuse again for my noobness but please answer.

Thank you very much and go ahead with this great forum.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] platinumtruck:
stuck here,

hspl file says communication time out

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Welcome to xda :)

You can try flashing the stock rom without installing HardSPL but I would still advise you to install HardSPL (just gives that extra bit of protection) and then simply connect via activesync and flash the stock rom.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colbazzo:
Hi Mark.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I red that, in order to install the HSPL, the SPL of the phone must be 1.42

What could I do if the SPL is different?

Nothing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
What version is your SPL?

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colbazzo:
Hi Mark.

I will receive it next friday so I don't know yet what SPL is on the phone...

There is no way to do anything if the SPL is not the 1.42?

Anyway, just for curiosity, what will happen if I just flash the Italian Stock ROM on my phone that is a UK model?

Anyone did it ever?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 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.

can you help me with my problem sir, i was having trouble flashing hspl on my sd card i'm having this error "002802" not allow...

What did i do wrong?

Is there any way that I can flash hspl my hd2?

Pls help me sir..Thank You
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
Hard SPL is to be done via active sync with your computer. Not by SD card method as that is intended for ROM's and Radio's.

Mark was very detailed with this as I grabbed this straight from post #1:

Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to Bepe)

1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder

2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable

3. Run HSPL.exe from your pc and then click next in the HardSPL program.

4. HardSPL will now be flashed to your phone.

5. When its finished a message should appear on your phone saying "We Hacked It".

6. Click ok to terminate program and reboot the phone.

7. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
i'm reall sorry i should have a new thread for this.....it's just i'm having trouble flashing using sd card...the HSPL is no problem....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
You should be careful flashing via SD as flashing a stock rom will remove your Hard SPL and it might upgrade your SPL.

If you are flashing a cooked rom, then flashing via SD is fine.

Just rename the RUU_sighed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh in the root of your SD card and then reset device while holding the volume down and the rest is just to follow instructions to complete the rest of it. Don't forget to hard reset.

Is this your first time flashing a cooked rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
when i'm doing the flashing in sd card, i have this error 0028002 not allow? what does this mean sir? this message appears after the exclamation icon...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
HSPL is not automatically installed, you need to install it first as a separate exercise. What spl version do you currently have on your HD2? Before you can flash the rom you need to have spl version 1.42.hspl when you are in bootloader (tri-colour) screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
spl 1.42 hspl...yep i already installed hspl sir...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Ok, just checking as I wasn't sure from your previous posts ;)

A quick Google search reveals the following:

HSPL is supposed to bypass the CID check and allow you to flash, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. I'd try going back to stock rom, do a MTTY and then reflash hspl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
thank you

Thank you sir..i will try...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As I explained in the pm, the problem is that you are using a stock rom to try to remove hspl. The problem is that the stock rom you are using is not from your vendor/operator so when you flash back the CID check fails and hence the error 0028002. You need hspl to be able to bypass the CID check, but as you are trying to remove hspl this will only work if you use the original rom for your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ht_ppc:
Flashing Via MicroSD Card

NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. Therefore if you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)

2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

Regarding step 3 and 4,

Question 1:

Is that mean I only have to put LEOIMG.nbh on MircoSD card, and leave the rest of the files in computer(no use)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
correct.only the .nbh file is needed.

2) Could I be able to reinstall back the Chinese version for warranty.

3) is there anyway to remove the spl from stock rom?

After installing HardSPL you can install ANY stock or custom rom via microsd card whether its your region or another region, it doesnt matter.

BE AWARE though that flashing a stock rom via microsd card will overwrite your HardSPL with the stock SPL thats included in the stock rom. I would only advise flashing a stock rom via microsd card if you need to send the phone back for warranty purposes as it will revert everything back to stock status.

There is no way to remove the spl from a stock rom so that you can flash it safely from microsd card without removing the HardSPL.

Mark.
