I tried doing 2.03 rom but the file doesnt boot as .nbh file from bootloader only for 2.03... i also read somewhere that 2.03 has engineering spl which cannot be overwritten, but when i flash 2.10 or 2.09 then spl changes to 2.08.0000 and 2.10.0000... i just dont understand why the hspl isnt working... any other solution you think might work?...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
hmm, ok, checklist

1 - you are putting phone into three coloured screen yourself?

(1a - it DOES say spl 2.08.0000 or 2.10.0000, yes? if not, make it say that, and then continue.)

2 - you are using a direct USB port, not one in the front of the pc, or one on a USB hub?

3 - the word 'serial' changes to 'usb'?

4 - you are right clicking hspl.exe and choosing run as administrator?

5 - you have tried all your USB ports?

6 - you are NOT trying to run it under a virutual OS, such as WINE on linux, or some virtual box software on a mac or something?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] umarali:
first of all thanks for detailed reply...

and yes i made sure to follow the whole checklist but it doesnt seem working... whenever it shows error in changing hspl after that the phone stays in three striped colored screen and to try again i have to restart the phone n put it back in the bootloader mode or it will say not connected... it seems like it stucks somewhere while changing hspl...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Then the next most common way to fix it....... try a different computer,, preferably win XP.

Help me please and fast .. am in need .. i tied to uninstaller the HSPL everything done step by step.. but just after the black screen with the warning sine i get an error saying not allowed and the auto restart to Bootloader witch says Upgrade ROM code error Please try again... What now ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
You can always remove HSPL by flashing a STOCK rom using the SD-card methode.

1. Download a stock rom for your device and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file.

2. Rename RUU_signed.nbh file to "LEOIMG.nbh" (exactly as stated here)

3. Format a 2GB SD card using FAT32 (Not bigger. Smaller is Ok.)

4. Insert SD card into phone. (If you use a SD-Card reader to copy go to step 6)

5. Connect using ActiveSync

6. Copy LEOIMG.nbh to SD card (If you use a SD-Card reader to copy, place SD-Card in phone and go to step 8)

7. Disconnect phone

8. Start Manual Bootloader (Shut phone off and press volume down while pressing power button)

9. Follow the on screen instructions.

10. After flash, phone will reset.

I have the very same problem, although I have administrators rights, usb connection breaks during initiating ROM installation on 0%. Stays there for few minutes than announces it has failed and offer recovery manual. I have it from the moment I installed win7 on my laptop. Anoying is that I need to use someones pc with windows xp to install rom and play with my HD2 phone. Has anyone else solution? thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Yep, use VMware to setup a virtual XP machine, and assign the used USB port directly to the VM.

Other option, something is wrong with your Win7 installation. Try reinstalling it.

(i use Win7 SP1 x64 without problems)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ForgetfulGuru:
Also Using Windows 7

Have you tried looking at you Firewall settings?

check the ROM installer is not being automatically blocked.

Also may make a difference if your on Windows basic, home, or premium. different initial networking settings and permitttions.

You need to flash a stock rom using the SD-card methode.

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12678899&postcount=3319
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
If you are going into bootloader, I assume that you have already read the 2nd post here on how to put remove HSPL for warranty purposes.

What will cause it to ignore the ROM image you have on your SD card is a couple of things. Please check the following:

1) Make sure that ROM image file you renamed to LEOIMG.nbh

2) Make sure that your SD Card is formatted in FAT32 format.

Hope this helps!

Don't know what I'm doing wrong...or possibly, just don't know what I'm doing.

Downloaded HSPL2. Extracted and ran HSPL2_Run on PC. It creates files

EnterBootloader.exe

HSPL_Launcher.exe

rapitool.exe

I hit "Next" on the first screen. Get screen that says "Waiting for USB connection...". (Phone is already connected by ActiveSync method). After about 60 secs I get popup;

DFT HSPL2 for HTC Leo

CRITICAL ERROR

Flow:00000001

Error code: 00000002

Description: USB Connect failed!

Anyone know how to fix?

EDIT: Same problem with HSPL4 and connecting as disk drive...just doesn't seem to work for me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Please give more information about your system.

What OS are you running on your PC.

What version of the HTC-HD2 do you have.

What USB port did you use on your PC (did you use a HUB or the front USB port)

Did you try other USB ports or even an other PC.

We need to know more....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Grey Area:
In order...

Windows 7 64-bit

Not sure what version of HTC-HD2 - how do I find that out for you?

Have tried various USB ports both on a hub and on the back of my PC and get same error. Don't have another PC to try unfortunately.

One question I do have that maybe you can answer...it often says I can check my spl version by "holding the volume down key and doing a reset". If I hold my Volume down key and try to power off, the volume down key keeps bringing up the volume panel, so I CAN'T power off my phone. I guess again I am doing something wrong...maybe you can tell me what!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Grey Area:
OK I sorted out the reset/volume down button thing (for those as daft as me, you turn the phone OFF as normal, then turn it back ON whilst holding down the "volume down" button, and you get a nice red/green/blue/white screen that tells you what version of SPL you have.

In my case, it's SPL-1.42.0000 XE. Don't know what that means in terms of Android-readiness, and still don't know why HSPL is giving me that error...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Grey Area:
Since I've confirmed I had SPL 1.42.0000 I thought I'd try the basic HSPL. Unfortunately when I unzip it AVG gives me a trojan warning for the extracted HSPL.exe file :(.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
64 bit windows often causes issues, often never solved. I know you said you don't have another option, but its certainly the best first thing to try if you have a friend with 32bit.

Also

Always put phone into bootloader manually first

Only ever use USB ports in back of PC,

Always right click and "run as admin"

Turn off your firewall

Turn off your antivirus before starting the download since some progs disable the file without telling you so even once its turned off the file has already been disabled and needs re downloading . (ignore the Trojan warning, well known false positive, ... the first version is no good for android anyway, since it only contains 1.42.hspl whilst to unlock the real potential of flashing you want 2.08.hspl)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi Sam,

It is lucky for me, I use Win 7 64 Home premium edition and only few times I couldnt connect the USB. However, by simply restarting/reboot, it works again (even I can flashing while AV and Firewall (KASPERSKY Internet Security) running at the background.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
hehe, yup, for every one person with a known potential problem, there are ten for whom the problem doesnt happen.

The pitfall of mass market technology, no two systems are the same, even if all the components are identical. I never have to right click / run as admin, AV and firewall always on, for example, i can even flash hspl thru a front mounted port, lol (but only one of the two, strangely, both usb header type) yet i can't for the life of me get cLK to instal.

Normally id say the exception that proves the rule, but in this world its more like the rule that proves the exceptions.

I've spent the last 2 hours searching, reading, and trying dif. installs to the phone, with no success.

I have currently:

SPL-1.56.OliNex

older ROM from Energy

How can I update to HSPL? A step by step would be helpful with links to where/what to download.

It says what you have to have in oder to install HSPL, but it doesn't say what to do if you don't have it.

Many thanks and much appreciated!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:

EDIT: And of course, it miraculously fixes itself for no apparant reason. Post obsolete!

Hmm, according to screenshots and description I should be able to choose between 2.08.0000 en 2.08.HSPL during the installation, but it just goes straight to installing HSPL.

Trying to install MAGLDR 1.13 did not work (got my phone pretty messed up actually), so I'm figuring it installs 2.08.0000.

How do I get it to install *.HSPL? I've tried all the HSPL versions available for download...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
OK bit of a panic mode here.

Had my TMOUS HD2 for almost a year now. Flashed hacked 6.5 ROM's no problem. Few weeks ago went to WP7. No issues. Then today all of the sudden my touch screen just stopped working. No error messages, no reboots, just stopped working.

OK, so I do a search. See that it was a bit of a known issue and I can just turn it in for repair since my year is not up yet.

OK, so I flash back to stock 2.10 ROM via USB using the actual TMOBILE .exe program...installs fine, boots to 1st time setup screen...and 2.08.hspl is still there! I cannot get rid of it! Every time I try to load "leoimg.nbh" to the SD card, and I turn the phone on while holding vol down button, it does not flash it just goes to Serial mode and sits there. I tried to flash using the HSPL4 .exe program, but even when the phone is in bootloader mode and says "USB" the HSPL program cannot communicate with the phone via USB! I already checked my HTC Sync driver and it says 2003 not 2007...

I can't even get into the Windows 6.5 first time setup screen because I can't use the freakin' touch screen!

If I can't get HSPL off of my phone I'm screwed!

I already deleted the WP7 partitions and formatted the SD card back to FAT32 and again I cannot flash leoimg.nbh thru the cotulla 2.08.HSPL!!

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Don't use stock 16gb card to flash leoimg.nbh it wont work.(or before I get jumped on, it only works for about 1 person in 1000)

2gb card is best, certainly nothing bigger than 4gb.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
Thanks for the tip. Of course, the only micro sd cards I have are 32MB, 256MB, 8GB class 4, and 16GB class 2 and 16GB class 6...Tried to get the leoimg.nbh on the 256mb but it's too big.

This also doesn't explain why the HSPL4 program cannot communicate with the phone in bootloader via USB...

What if I create a 2 GB partition on the 16gb card? Will that work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nitr00:
Just download the most recent rom update from HTC using your s/n to verify correctness before download. Then boot to the three color screen and connect your HD2 to your pc, and use the downloaded RUU to flash your HD2.

Now you should have stock SPL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
I've already downloaded like 3 different stock ROM's and no, HSPL is still there. The only way to get rid of it is to flash via SD card.

Besides, when you put a TMOUS serial number in HTC's site, it says the download is not available for the phone because you have to get it from T Mobile. I have already downloaded and flashed the T Mobile ROM and HSPL is still there...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
No you can not use a 2GB partition on a larger SD-Card.

The only way is to use the SD-Card methode with a real 2GB SD-Card.

Just buy one, there verry cheap.

HD2 Vodafone Germany SPL 3.03.0000

Hello Everybody,

I have gotten my HD2 back from the reparation. I got a new one with new ROM 3.14.... and SPL 3.03.

I have tried to change the Rom and install the english version but I couldn't

I have used HSPL4 and I got the message "We hacked it" ;)

But when I try to install the Official ROM I get an Error when it starts to flash it?

Any Idea?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Glad we could help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
For flashing a stock rom, you don't need HSPL (I think even that you can't judging by your error)

So use a custom ROM, or reflash a stock rom using the SD-Card methode.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
Oh, absolutely thank you xda very much I love this forum! I've learned everything here, from hacking a G1 to putting WP7 on my HD2...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
OK new problem. I panicked when this first happened, and I just downloaded and flashed the earliest ROM I could find, which was a test version. Now it seems I am unable to flash anything else. Tried vis SD card, it just gets stuck on "Loading..." screen. Tried via USB using factory ROM's, it goes until the screen changes from bootloader to HTC 0 100% status bar and freezes at zero...boots up ok but of course touch screen in completely non-responsive but it has words going all over the screen to let you know its a test ROM...

At least the SPL is not hacked, lol they can say what they want but in the end they have to fix it right? Besides, issue has nothing to do with WM 6.5 or WP 7...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
As long as you don't have a HSPL on your phone when you send it for repair, you should be fine and they will repair it. (As long as it is in warrenty :D )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mawafai:
Hi ericdevet,

OK I have tried to flash it from the SD but no avail.

I have got the WWE and extract the RUU_Signed.nbh and rename it to leoimg.nbh and copied it to SD and reboot the device with the pressed Volume down but hangs on the colored screen.

Could you please tell me how I can know the suitable ROM version to my device and how I can flash it with SD

Thanks,

Amer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
You can find the right STOCK rom for your device on the HTC website.

Use the serial number of your device to find it.

USE ONLY A 2GB SD-CARD WITH FAT32 FORMAT. Larger SD-Cards or other formats won't work!

The way to flash from SD-Card is explaind numerous times in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mawafai:
Thank you very much!

Now I have SPL 1.66

do you mean that I can now have the HSPL 1.66 and upgrade the ROM with the English offical one?

Thank you in advance

Amer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
When you use a official rom, you don't use HSPL.

The flashing of a stock/official rom, removes the HSPL and replaces it with an official SPL.

You only use HSPL if you want to flash a custom rom. (WM6.x, Android NAND or WM7)

Note: HSPL 2.08 is 576mb enabled. Some custom roms use this to give the HD2 more memory to work with.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
UPDATE: Had a fast and easy conversation via online chat with a T-Mobile rep and my replacement HD2 shipped yesterday! I told them to make a note on my account that in my desperation to fix my phone I downloaded a T Mobile test ROM. Thanks again for saving me arse, xda! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mfrey0118:
This only happens if you extract factory image from ROM file on your PC, rename it to "leoimg.nbh" and copy to FAT32 microSD card and flash via SD card of 2GB or less thru bootloader. If you flash via USB from PC it will not overwrite HSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:

HD2 stuck with a faulty weird bootloader

Hello,

my HD2 is stuck after several trials to reinstall a stock ROM and trying to change the HSPL version; But I've now a weird bootloader screen (see attached image) : the beginning of the first line does not correspond to a LEO model ID.

I can change the HSPL vesrion but the first line remains the same. I can not reinstall a stock ROM : the process ends with some error ( bad communication,...)

I've tried to load from the SD card, but I get a screen indicating "loading" , then "checking", then "00058002" and nothing more ! I'm back to the weird bootloader screen.

Any help will be helpful, because I have been trying to restore my HD2 since several days

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Well, as you clearly have an original SPL on your phone, send it for repair.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] villard:
Thank your for your reply;

I think I've not got an original SPL because the first line of the bootloader screen (see image on my first post) is very weird : the first "caracter" is strange and there is no indication of the model.

I would need to reinstall a good SPL but I can not reinstall sucessfully with a 2 GB SD.

Thanks for your help

Villard
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
That first line does not matter.

As long as your 2nd line does NOT say SPL-1.42.

HSPL

you are ok.

That first line is the sign of a corrupt ROM image that you now can not repair.

So just send it out to HTC for repair.

If the HD2 is still in warranty, it should be free. (Just the cost of sending it)

Hi, about that immage on the first post "LEO SPL emulator by cotulla"..

where can i get that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
If you mean "HOW do i get that" than it's simple.

1) Shut off your phone (Switch it off)

2) Hold down the Volume-Down button.

3) While holding down the volume-down button, press on the power button.

Your phone should boot up in the bootloader.

To leave the bootloader: remove battery or press reset button.

OK so now I've got my replacement HD2 and of course it's time to hack it and install WP7.

Now, I've done this before with no problems but now it's not working. I think I may be forgetting something but as there is no step-by-step at the beginning of this thread I am not sure so I was hoping one of the more patient experts here can help me out.

CURRENT ROM: 3.14.04666

CURRENT RADIO 2.15.50.11

OK so I reboot my computer (windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) and disable digital driver sigs to use the modified HTC USB sync drivers. Then I run Windows Mobile Device Center. Then I run as Administrator the HSPL4 app. It goes to the DFT screen and the phone reboots into bootloader and then it just hangs at trying to communicate with the device via USB and then I get an installation fail notice.

Can anyone walk me through this or tell me what I am forgetting to do? It worked before with my other HD2 so it should work now, right?

look at the image in post 1, upper left corner, its not a screen shot of the phone, its a window, its bootloader running on a pc in an emulator, thats what hes asking about, not the hspl itself.
